NEW FEATURES OF REMOTE DIAGNOSTIC AGENT 8.05
(related to Hyperion Applications) - From a Hyperion perspective, functionality has been added to the following modules to detect whether the executables are 32-bit enabled or 64-bit enabled:
EPM Module (encountered in the Enterprise Performance Management profile)
EPMA Module (encountered in the Enterprise Performance Management Architect profile)
ESS Module (encountered in the Essbase server profile)
HFM Module (encountered in the Hyperion Financial Management profile)
HFR Module (encountered in the Hyperion Financial Reporting profile)
HIR Module (encountered in the Hyperion Interactive Reporting profile)
HPL Module (encountered in the Hyperion Planning profile)
HSF Module (encountered in the Hyperion Strategic Finance profile)
This process can be useful to detect if a 32-bit executable install was undertaken when there should have been a 64-bit install ... or vice-versa ... where a 64-bit installation was wrongly performed on a 32-bit OS environment Note: - Some applications are only available in 32-bit regardless of the environment.
For example: SQR/Production Reporting or Interactive Reporting are always 32-bit on Linux even when the OS is 64-bit (and SQR can be 64-bit on other environments).
- When an application is 32-bit the non-JDBC database libraries connecting with it need to be 32-bit as well.

DETAILS ABOUT DIAGNOSTIC ASSISTANT 2.5:
When using the Diagnostic Assistant a password for the "admin" user account is required on the web interface e.g. http://<servername>:8888/index.html
Do not try to pass a new password parameter via a hyphen or minus sign on the web server! e.g. the following would be an invalid line:
wda.cmd startweb -pass=mypassword Instead the following should be used: "da.<ext> startweb pass=<password>" (no hyphen).
|
Examples: "da.cmd startweb pass=mypassword" or
"da.sh startweb"
The above examples will work. If a password is not specified, one will be created and displayed when Diagnostic Assistant starts. Where the network domain is inaccessible, you will need to provide your own password. If the automatic mechanism fails, provide a custom password after "pass=". ![]()
