HFM services have different stop/start procedures for various EPM services. Let’s see How to Stop/Start HFM services in VArious EPM versions
How to Stop/Start HFM services in 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.3
The main processes in this HFM version are
- HSXServer.exe – Primary HFM process. The process runs on the same machine as the IIS components and spawns the CasSecurity.exe and HSVDataSource.exe (described below) processes as needed.
- CasSecurity.exe – HFM uses EPM Shared Services to perform user authentication/authorization tasks. The CasSecurity.exe process acts as a bridge between the HFM C++/DCOM components and the Java-based Shared Services interface defined in css.jar.
- HSVDataSource.exe – A separate HSVDataSource.exe process is spawned for each HFM Application. This process is responsible for direct interaction with the HFM Application. HFMDataSource.exe processes are terminated by the HSXServer.exe process when no longer needed.
- HFMService.exe
- DMEListener.exe
Stop/Start
- The HSXServer.exe process is started automatically by the hfmapplicationservices IIS component. i.e When an end-user connects to HFM for the first time on a particular application server, the process HsxServer.exe will be started.
- CasSecurity.exe and HSVDataSource.exe processes are spawned/managed by the HSXServer.exe. The processes normally shut down on their own after a set period of inactivity. If necessary, the processes can be shut down manually using the Windows Task Manager.
- A Windows service – Hyperion Financial Management – Management Service (HSXService.exe) – is also available on the HFM IIS server host.
- This service can be used to manage (start/restart) instances of the above processes on the server rather than allowing the hfmapplicationservices process to start them as needed
How to stop/start when using Window-based Service
Stop all the window services related to HFM
Hyperion Financial Management – Management Service
Hyperion Financial Management – DME listener
Hyperion Financial Management - web tier
Hyperion Financial Management- Web service Manager
Wait for 2 min. And then look for the below processes in Task manager
CASSecurity.exe HsxServer.exe HsvDataSource.exe
If it is present, kill them
Now start all the window services related to HFM
Hyperion Financial Management – Management Service Hyperion Financial Management – DME listener Hyperion Financial Management - web tier Hyperion Financial Management- Web service Manager
How to stop/start when not using Window-based Service
Stop all the window services related to HFM
Hyperion Financial Management – DME listener Hyperion Financial Management - web tier Hyperion Financial Management- Web service Manager
Wait for 2 min. And then look for the below processes in Task manager
CASSecurity.exe
HsxServer.exe
HsvDataSource.exe
If it is present, kill them
Then do iisreset from cmd line
Start all the window services related to HFM
Hyperion Financial Management – DME listener Hyperion Financial Management - webtier Hyperion Financial Management- Web service Manager
How to Stop/Start HFM services in 11.1.2.4
- HFM undergoes Major change in 11.1.2.4 and removes the dependency on DCOM and IIS
- XfmDataSource.exe is the new process being used and HFM Java Process is used to manage XfmDS.
- Following processes were deprecated
