For information on configuring logging for Essbase Studio and other EPM System products, see the Hyperion EPM System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide, available on the Oracle Technology Network. These Essbase Studio server properties related to logging have been removed.
l
The property, com.hyperion.cp.level, is now set in the MIDDLEWARE_HOME/ user_projects/epmsystem1/BPMS/bpms1/bin/logging.xml file, which is part of ODL; it is no longer set in the Essbase Studio server.properties file.
Connection Pooling
With connection pooling, the query driver in Essbase Studio provides a pool of physical connections per data source, allowing the execution of concurrent queries, and speeding up query processing. You specify the number of connections in the pool. In previous releases, the query driver opened one physical connection per data source. If several tasks tried to run concurrent queries to the same data source, the query driver was forced to run the queries sequentially; that is, each query waited until previous query execution was finished, causing delays in query processing.
New Features
Essbase Studio allows you to create connections to Essbase Server clusters. When you create an Essbase connection in the Connection Wizard, you can select the new Cluster check box to denote that the connection is to an Essbase Server cluster. For more information on Essbase failover clusters, see the Essbase documentation.
Intelligence Enterprise Edition data sources, and files from flat file data sources. Refreshing Tables Refresh tables to detect schema changes that occurred in your data source since you created the data source connection. You can refresh tables at the connection level and the table level. Schema changes that are detected during refresh include:
l
New columns Dropped columns Changes in column data type; for example, varchar to integer
When you refresh at the connection level, the refresh is performed for all tables in the connection. When you refresh at the table level, the refresh is performed only on the selected tables.
Note: You can refresh only relational data sources, including Oracle Business Intelligence
New Features
The title bar of the Essbase Studio Console now displays the Essbase Studio Server name, the logged-in user name, and the logged-in user's role. In order to use the Launch Essbase Administration Console command from Essbase Studio Console, both consoles must reside on the same machine. If Administration Services Console is not installed on the same machine, then Essbase Studio Console now displays an informational message. When adding children or siblings to a hierarchy in the hierarchy editor, Essbase Studio remembers the last selection made. For example, if you chose the STATEID column from the MARKET table of the TBC sample data source, then, when adding the next child or sibling, the Select Entity dialog box is launched with the MARKET table already opened.
text lists in Essbase Studio. Text lists are used in conjunction with text measures. Text measures extend the analytical capabilities of Essbase beyond numerical data to text-based content. Storage and analysis of textual content can be useful when a cell needs to have one of a finite list of textual values. For example, customer satisfaction may be expressed in terms of ratings such as High, Medium, and Low. These customer satisfaction ratings are a set of text strings which are mapped to corresponding numeric IDs, such as 1, 2, and 3 respectively. These mappings are contained in the text list element that you create.
New Features
Starting with this release, recreating or rebuilding an Essbase model is not required when you perform the following operations on a metadata folder, dimension element, derived text measure, text list, hierarchy, measure hierarchy, or cube schema:
l
Rename Move
Further, recreating or rebuilding an Essbase model is not required when you perform these operations:
l
Change the binding, filter, sort order, or alias set bindings of a dimension element Change the binding, range, or alias set bindings of a derived text measure Change the value binding or ID binding of a text list Change an overridden data load binding in a cube schema
Note that recreating or rebuilding an Essbase model is required when you perform the following operations:
l
Reorder, add, or remove members in a hierarchy or measure hierarchy Add or remove hierarchies from a cube schema Add or remove any loose measures in a cube schema Change the measure hierarchy in a cube schema Override the default data load bindings in a cube schema
In a dimension that allows duplicate member names, you can specify that unique member names are required for a particular generation or level.

Alternatively, enter the user name and password as parameters along with the script name at a command prompt.

A window now displays when you launch a cube deployment, and stays onscreen when deployment is completed. The window includes the following information about the cube deployment:
m
Member load and data load start time Status message listing member and data load details The elapsed time, in minutes and seconds, of member loads and data loads The number of records processed and records rejected Deployment success or failure Location of the error file
Prior to cube deployment, users are now warned if errors exist in the Oracle Essbase model. If model errors exist, then, when you click Next in the Essbase Server connection options page of the Cube Deployment Wizard, a dialog is displayed asking if you want to launch the Essbase Model Properties dialog box. Click Yes to launch the properties dialog box and correct the errors.
New Features
You may click No in this dialog, but you cannot proceed with the deployment until the model errors are corrected. If you click No, then click the Model Properties button in the Essbase Server connection options page of the Cube Deployment Wizard to launch the properties dialog box and correct the errors.
Accessibility
In this release, the Essbase Studio user interface adds keyboard-only support to all applicable dialog boxes and screen elements, as well as screen reader support. It is our goal to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible to the disabled community. Essbase Studio supports the accessibility features described in Appendix A of the Oracle Essbase Studio User's Guide. Oracle Essbase Studio documentation is accessible in this release in HTML format.
New Features
Most EPM System products have adopted Oracle Diagnostic Logging (ODL) as the logging mechanism. The ODL framework provides uniform support for managing log files, including log file rotation, maximum log file size, and the maximum log directory size. For more information, see the Using EPM System Logs chapter of the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide. Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) integrates with My Oracle Support and provides configuration information for Oracle software. It assists in the troubleshooting, maintenance, and diagnostics of your EPM System deployment. For more information about Oracle Configuration Manager see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide. With this release, many EPM System products support hostnames that resolve to IPv6 addresses. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Certification Matrix. IPv4 support (both hostname and IP address) remains unchanged from earlier releases. Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System supports the following types of SSL configurations:
m
Full SSL Deployment (including data access) SSL Terminating at the Web Server SSL Accelerators (Off-loading) Two-way SSL For more information on the SSL configurations, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide.
