Why... Why... Why?
This blog is dedicated to documenting error resolution and other tidbits that I discover while working as a Consultant in the Oracle EPM (Hyperion) field. As much of my job revolves around issue resolution, I see an opportunity to supplement the typical troubleshooting avenues such as the Oracle Knowledgebase and Oracle Forums with more pinpointed information about specific errors as they are encountered.

Some Bad Patches?


I recently came across a few bad patches.

Specifically, HSS 17537889, 11.1.2.2.303

In Shared Services, Application Groups, when trying to expand LCM for HFM applications (also with EPMA applications) SSL URLs will be appended with a :80, invalidating the URL.

EPMLCM-30034:Failed in communicating to Hyperion Financial Management remote service at URL https://servername:80/hfmlcmservice/LCMWS.asmx

Note the https protocol with the :80 appended to the end. The patch cannot form SSL URL's properly. This was confirmed by rolling back the patch and seeing the URLs form properly.


Additionally, HFM 11.1.2.2.306 & 307 cause certain Financial Reports to Fail against HFM. The error in HFM is:
File: CDQISource.cpp Version: 11.1.2.2.306.4365 Line: 6408 Error: (-3)(0xFFFFFFFD)(An unknown error occurred. (-3))

Specifically, looking at the .307 Readme, under known issues:
· 18528346 – Financial reports using ‘Base of Current POV for entity’ is not working with conditional suppression.
I think there are broader issues with FR and HFM in this patch that only occur with certain report options in FR.
I suspect these two issues also reside in the 11.1.2.2.500 patch set because it was released before Oracle fixed these issues.

  1. Hi - for the cause concerning above 'cause certain Financial Reports to Fail against HFM. The error in HFM is:
    File: CDQISource.cpp Version: 11.1.2.2.306.4365 Line: 6408 Error: (-3)(0xFFFFFFFD)(An unknown error occurred. (-3))'

    Did you get or find confirmation issue did reside in 11.1.2.2.500 patch set also ? if so, do you know whether it was fixed in 11.1.2.2.500.x with any release PSE or anything ?

    Thanks

    Stu
