User Guide

Migrating Financial Management users is a one-time operation that must be completed before
starting Financial Management after upgrading to Release 9.3.1.
Reporting and Analysis
Caution!
Hyperion recommends that you back up the user and group data in Native Directory and
Reporting and Analysis before starting the migration process. After migrating users and groups
to use the new identity attribute, you cannot revert to the previously used identity attribute. To
revert, restore user and group data in Native Directory and Reporting and Analysis repository
from the backups.
Reporting and Analysis uses the SyncCSSIdentity_BI utility to synchronize user and group
identities stored in its relational database to reflect the identity attribute set in Shared Services.
See “Using the Unique Identity Attribute to Handle Inter-OU Moves in LDAP-Enabled User
Directories” on page 38 and “Running the Update Native Directory Utility” on page 126.
Note:
After upgrading Reporting and Analysis, migrate users and groups to the new identity attribute
before performing any other operation such as loading security or changing existing security
settings. Such changes may be lost during the migration.
Run the
SyncCSSIdentity_BI utility only if Shared Services was upgraded to use the new
identity attribute. Do not run the utility if Shared Services does not use the new identity attribute
or if you do not have stale data resulting from inter-OU moves in the user directories. This utility
needs to be run only once after upgrading Shared Services and Reporting and Analysis.
The
SyncCSSIdentity_BI utility is installed in < BIPlus_Home >/syncCSSId. Execute the
utility after upgrading Reporting and Analysis but before starting Reporting and Analysis
services.
See
< BIPlus_Home >/syncCSSId/ReadmeSyncCSSId_BI.txt for detailed instructions to
run the
SyncCSSIdentity_BI utility. Runtime information from the utility is written into
< BIPlus_Home >/syncCSSId/BI_Sync.log .
On successfully executing the utility, the value of
ConfigurationManager.CSSIdSyncState in V8_PROP_VALUE table in Reporting and
Analysis database is set to
0 (for NO_SYNC). Other possible values for this property are 1
(CHECK_AND_SYNC, which is the default value) and 2 (FORCE_SYNC).
If the synchronization state in the database is not
0 (NO_SYNC), and the system determines that
identity synchronization is required, the authentication service writes warning messages to
Hyperion_Home >/logs/BIPlus/CSSSynchronizer.log. However, Reporting and
Analysis services will run normally.
