Unlocking Applications


Many time when we try to do some operation like loading metadata or data via ODI , while 
refreshing data to Essbase etc we get error Planning application is locked. Few Ex:

com.hyperion.planning.HspCubeRefreshInProgressException: Cannot complete your 
request because the database is being refreshed.

com.hyperion.odi.planning.ODIPlanningException: 
com.hyperion.planning.ObjectIsLockedException 


When ever we perform an operation where planning need to put a lock on any object an entry 
goes to HSP_LOCK table. Planning enters a record in this table when it acquires a lock and 
deletes the record the moment lock is released. 


Lets refresh our database and check if we get any entry in HSP_LOCK table:


Here are the records of HSP_LOCK table for App1:



 I clicked refresh database for my application App1, let go back and check the records of this table:


Once the refresh operation is complete:


Planning clears the record from this table:




Now lets manually enter a record in HSP_LOCK table



Lets refresh the database


If you manually delete the record with restarting services and try refreshing again



Lets run HSP_UNLOCK utility:




Tried refreshing the application after executing HspUnlock refresh was successful.




Occasionally Planning applications can become locked, for example, if users abnormally exit the application and Planning. The Unlock Application utility clears all records in the HSP_LOCK table. You must run the utility from the Planning application server.

Multiple Navigation Flows are Active

Image
We have witnessed an issue where application migration or sometimes service restart in PBCS/EPBCS activates multiple navigation flows.  If multiple navigation flows are active you wont be able make changes in any of them, because in order to make change in navigation flow you have to make it inactive. Typically you may end up in following situation:  Solution is pretty simple: 1. Create a copy of any of the existing navigation flow:  2. Give it any desired name:  3. Now, you will see one additional navigation flow, with inactive status: 4.  Make it active: 5.  At this point of time you will have one active navigation flow and two inactive  6. Select the additional navigation flow you have created and delete it  7. Now you are back in business: Rahul S.
