Configuring RA Hyperion Planning Agent System Objects

The following guide describes the specific configuration of an Automation Engine's system objects that are required for the RA Hyperion Planning Agent.

  • Create and configure an RA Hyperion Planning Agent solution Agent object in your Automation Engine's system client 0000.
  • Start the Agent.
  • Create and configure one or more RA Hyperion Planning Agent Connection objects in non-system numbered clients.

Agent Object

  • Create a new HYPERIONPLANNING Agent object (preferably in the HOST folder).

    Important !

    Note that the object name must comply with the Agent name that is used in the INI file.

    • There is nothing to define on the RA Hyperion Planning Agent Agent's Hyperion PLANNING page.

  • Save the Agent object.
  • Start the Agent using the following command:

java -jar <Path to the Agent's BIN directory>/ucxjcitx.jar disable_cache

You can also start the Agent via the Service Manager. For more information, see your Automation Engine documentation.

Connection Object

The Connection object(s) define the connection to the Hyperion Planning system.

  • Create a new RA Hyperion Planning Agent Connection object (new object: CONN -> HYPERION PLANNING) and open it.
    • User name

      • The Hyperion Planning user

    • Password

      • The Hyperion Planning password
      The Hyperion Planning password might be encrypted with the Hyperion utility PasswordEncryption.cmd.
