Exporting Essbase Dimensions using ODI (specifically attribute)

I am working on creating a flat file using ODI connected to an Essbase database. I have set up my topology correctly and have been able to export the dimension into a .txt file succesfully. My issue I am having is when I try to include an attribute dimension associated with the main dimension (in this case, organization). I get the following failure:
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 89, in ?
com.hyperion.odi.essbase.ODIEssbaseException: The source column [ServiceByAUTypeAttribute] is not valid for dimension [Organization]
I went to the specific line, but see nothing out of the ordinary. The column is a valid attribute dimension for Organization.

It means you have not set a staging area for your on columns on the target datastore, as you are using essbase in your interface you will need a staging area, essbase as a technology has no SQL capabilities.

Export the data using ODI

I want to export the data using Odi from essbase v9 cubes. ODI and essbase server and in different servers.
I am using the calculation script in the LKM part, but the exported files are in Essbase servers but ODI not able to recognize the exported files.
Report script is taking too much of time to export the data therefore using the calculation script.
Is this something related to the agent? However I am not able to create an agent to the essbase server. I am succesful in creating the agent for the local system where odi is installed.
Please suggest.

Murali

Are you on 10.1.3.6.x? Then: http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/09/odi-series-part-2-agent.html
Are you on 11g? Then: http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2010/12/managing-odi-11g-standalone-agents.html
I will say with only a mild amount of shame and a large amount of gratitude that I installed both releases' agents through John's blog posts.

Using Adapter-specific attributes in Mail adapter

Hi,
I try to use adapter-specific attributes in my Mail adapter. I set the "Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" indicator, but I do not get a result in the mapping and also in the SXMB_MONI the attributes are not visible.
The documentation also refers to Variable Transport Binding indicator:<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm</a>
Could this be the problem? I cannot find this indiciator! Does anyone know where I can find this indicator?
Regards,
Torsten

Hi,
The values for the parameters, set using adapter specific message attributes are available at runtime in the path http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail.
We need to write UDF's that can extract the values from this path.
For Ex:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters() .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
 http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
 FileName);
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
if (valueOld != null) {
 String valueNew = valueOld.replaceAll(input,output);
 conf.put(key, valueNew);
If you check Dynamic configuration in sxmb_moni, you would be able to find the values for all the attributes that have been set in the adapter.

Smitha.

Export all dimension using a report scripts

Does anybody has an idea on how to Export the dimensions from Essbase through a report script? Because i will use this to load the dimensions in odi.
any idea is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hanson

If you look at my blog, I talk about the <preview function. it brings back them members with zeros as the values. It's much quicker than actually returning the data.
There is a problem in general with your premise of using a report script to do this. For ODI, you will want the dimensions in a parent child format. The report script will not do that for you. I would suggest you look at the outline extractor housed on applied olap's web site. www.appliedolap.com it's free and you can run it in a batch mode.
I think you should also look at John Goodwin's blog http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/ he has a series of articles on ODI. you whould be able to extract the dimensionality from a cube and load it into another cube directly from ODI

Cannot buil Essbase Dimension With ODI

Hi all,
i've a problem with an ODI interface to load Metada into Essbase.
I must load the account dimension the table contains 4 information:
Parent
Child
Alias
Data Storage.
I need to load some elements as Dynamic Calc and so I've added the column Data Storage wich contains 'X' For Dynamic Calc elements and 'S' for the other bottom level elements that are Store, but these buttom level elements must be shared member in the same dimension under another hierachy.
The error that i've received from interface after the execution is:
unknown source (error -1) cannot build dimension.
Can somenone help me on this?
Thanks
Best Regards
E. G.

Hi John,
i have once more the same problem.
I send you the script description of the interface:
from com.hyperion.odi.common import ODIConstants
from com.hyperion.odi.connection import HypAppConnectionFactory
from java.lang import Class
from java.lang import Boolean
from java.sql import *
from java.util import HashMap
# Get the select statement on the staging area:
sql= """select C1_PARENTNAME "ParentName",C2_MEMBERNAME "MemberName",C3_ALIAS "Alias",C4_DATASTORAGE "DataStorage" from "C$_0Measures" where (1=1) """
srcCx = odiRef.getJDBCConnection("SRC")
stmt = srcCx.createStatement()
srcFetchSize=30
stmt.setFetchSize(srcFetchSize)
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql)
#load the data
stats = pWriter.loadData(rs)
#close the database result set, connection
rs.close()
stmt.close()
Is it helpful for you?
Next week i'll send you my source and the outline file.
Today i've some VPN conncection problem and so i can not send you all the information.
Thank you very much for your help.

Reg: Building Essbase dimension using SQL in rule file

Hi,
We are using Essbase 11.1.2.2. I am trying to build a dimension in a cube using SQL query in the rule file, but i am not able to do it.
I am not able to establish connection to database. Can anyone please give a step by step process to do this.

If you really, really, really want to do this --- and by that I mean really get rid of everything in a dimension, create a dummy file with a single child. That single child should have a name that could never exist in your system. Something like "Forty-seven ginger headed sailors". Then set the Dimension Build Settings Member Update to "Remove Unspecified". Run the dim build -- it will clear out all of the dimension.
Then take your other dim build rule file and use the same Remove Unspecified setting. That will get rid of the silly member. The source can be a file or SQL.
Ta da, you have now cleared out the dim, added a single silly member, cleared out the dim again, and loaded the right members into it.
There may be a better way to do the above, but I have done exactly that and it works.

Cameron Lackpour

Mapping multiple columns of a table to single dimension using odi

Hi John,
Can we map multiple columns of a table to a single dimnesion?
For example, in RDBMS, for the employee details, Grade position etc will be in different columns, and in Planning these would be as members of one dimension.
So while loading data from oracle to essbase can we map these multiple columns to single dimension?
If yes how?

Hi,
In your staging area/target you can concatentate the columns.
So in your interface and on your target datastore, pick the column which is going to hold the details of the concatenation.
Then in the expression editor use the CONCAT function, or you could use ||
eg CONCAT(<sourceCol1>, <sourceCol2>)
or <sourceCol1> || <sourceCol2>
obviously you need to change the information between <sourceCol1> to your source datastore column

Hi,
It means in your options of the KM you have it set to quit when it hits one error, if you set it to 0 (infinite) then it will not stop no matter how many data load errors it hits.
If you set it to 0 and run the interface, depending on how you set up the options in the KM it can write to two log files, which you should check.
Cheers

GL Data load using ODI to Essbase

Hi, I am trying to load GL actual data to essbase application using ODI. Source file is having 10 columns and the Target is having 11 columns. We are using rules file to load data into essbase. Rules file will split 9th column as two columns and will load the data into Essbase. When we test the rules file in essbase data is getting load into application. when we use the same rule file in ODI interface data is not getting load and giving error as "Unknown member" for the member which we are spliting in 9th column. Source file: HSP_RATES ACCOUNT PERIOD YEAR SCENARIO VERSION CURRENCY ENTITY SFUND PROGRAM DATA HSP_InputValue 611101 Jul FY13 ACTUAL Final Local 0000 SBNR AC0001PS0001 25000 AC0001PS0001 is the concatenated string from GL. we will split this as two columns using rules file to load into essbase application. Please suggest what might be the reason for the error. How to do the mapping between source and target. I have mapping one column(AC0001PS0001) to two dimensions (Program, Activity) in Essbase. Please suggest. Thanks Sri

In ODI, what you have to do is to split it in the ODI itself. While you are mapping, you can use SQL functions to map it to two different columns. Similar to the way you are doing it in Rule file.

Can anyone look into this and reply quickly as it's urgent requiremet.
Regards,
Rohan

We are having a similar problem. We're using the IKM SQL to Hyperion Essbase (DATA) knowledge module. We are mapping the actual data to the field called 'Data' in the model. But it kicks everything out saying 'Unknown Member [Data] in Data Load', as if it's trying to read that field as a dimension member. We can't see what we missed in building the interface. I would think the knowledge module would just know that the Data field is, um, data; not a dimension member. Has anyone else encountered this?

Multi-Message-split with ABAP mapping and adapter specific attributes

Hi all,
With ABAP-Mapping I split 1 message to n messages.
So many files are generated in file-Adapter.
Everything fine.
But now I want the file names different using adapter specific attributes.
It is not possible to use variable substitution and write the file name in payload because of receiver restrictions.
I tried this with following similar coding in ABAP-Mapping:
data: lt_records TYPE MPP_DYNAMIC_TAB.
 Loop.
 l_file_name = "payload-Inbound"-information
 ls_record-namespace = 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'.
 ls_record-name = 'FileName'.
 ls_record-value = l_file_name. "l_file_name comes from inbound-payload
 append ls_record to lt_records.
 Endloop.
CALL METHOD dynamic_configuration->set_all_records
 EXPORTING
 records = lt_records.
If I start the interface I see in the monitoring the dynamic configuration with many entries for file-name in the the SOAP-Header mapping of the request message (following extract):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:DynamicConfiguration xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">BPAADDRESS.XML</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">BPABROKERROLE.XML</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">BPACOMPANYSEGMENT.XML</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">BPACUSTOMERROLE.XML</SAP:Record>
The result is that all files have the same file name (last entry in dynamic configuration).
Is it possible to write the adapter specific configuration in ABAP-mapping for every single result message??
Thank you for your help,
Florian

Hi Florian,
I've a different idea...I dont think its a "right solution" but just another work around..it involves a BPM...
In your ABAP mapping..set the dynamic config with as many variables as number of different messages...i.e. use the variables like 'FileName1', 'FileName2'...'FileName6' instead of 'FileName'. But use the same namespace 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'
Call the above mapping in a BPM and capture the individual messages and set the attribute 'FileName' from the values of 'FileName1' to 'FileName6' accordingly using Message Mapping and then send the message using the 'Send' step.
before you try this, try using the variable names 'FileName1' ...'FileName6' in the receiver adapters...enable the ASMS. I know we need to select which variables from the dynamic config to be used by the adapter by specifically selecting 'FileName', 'Directory' etc...but just give it a try and see if it works..
Or..instead of using a BPM..you can combine Henrique's idea...use Adapter module to set the value for 'FileName' from variables 'FileName1'...'FileName6' accordingly.
hope I'm clear..lemme know if you have any questions..
cheers

Adapter specific attributes - SOAP Adapter

Hi,
I am trying to use the adapter specific attributes of the receiver SOAP adapter. But I am not able to view the Dynamic configurations in sxi_monitor corresponding to this message. Any clue why!?
I read through the SOAP adapter help on help.sap.com,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/69/a6fb3fea9df028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Here it says:
If you want to use header fields, set the relevant indicator for Variable Header. The technical names for the fields are XHeaderName1, XHeaderName2, XHeaderName3. The parameters are embedded in the HTTP request under the names you enter here.
But I donot find an option where I can enter the names. Am I missing something here?
Regards,
Smitha.

Hi Smitha,
I did not try to use adapter-specific attributes with SOAP-adapter, but with mail-adapter. The documentation is quite similar, so I excpect similar results...
So as far as I understood, the parameters XHeaderName1, ... etc are for dynamic extension of the set of adapter-specific attributes. For example, if you want to add some more information in the message header, you can program an adapter module and you have now a guide how to name the additional attributes.
Usually, the "standard" adapter-specific attributes are starting with "S" (Sender) or "T" (Receiver). You can find the names in the documentation of the SOAP-adapter.
In order to use the adapter-specific attributes, you have to check both indicators (adapter-specific attributes, variable transport binding). If this still doesn't work, you should use OSS. In my scenario (mail adapter) this didn't work, too. The reason was, that there was a bug in the adapter metadata (Integration Repository) of SAP BASIS. There was a SAP note, where I could download the correct adapter metadata. Maybe you can find a SAP note for the SOAP Adapter.
Although this is probably not the final solution, I hope this guides you a step further.

Torsten

Adpater Specific Attribute Message

Hi Experts,
I am doing IDoc->XI -> file Scenario. I sending material master data to a third party. At the target side i need to create a file name of this type "Material + MATNR+Timestamp.txt". In that file name "Material" is always constant and "MATNR" is dynamic, it will be fetched from payload and timestamp is also dynamic. How can i create this kind of file name at target side.
I know i have to use "Adpater Specific Attribute Message" but i dont know hw to do this. If some body know this please help out.

Cannot see all the essbase dimensions when performed reverse engg.using ODI

Hi,
I performed the reverse engineering process for getting the dimensions from Essbase to the Model. First time the session has shown an error. When i right clicked the session in the operator and clicked on restart it has run succesfuly. But only the Accounts dimension got reversed. The rest of the dimensions are not seen in the Model. Please suggest

I have got to import my actuals data which is ther in Oracle database to Planning. As i was told that ODI is not compatible with EPMA, i cannot load data into Planning using ODI. As anyways the data is to be stored in essbase itself i want to use ODI to load the data into essbase. For metadata upload i am making use of Interface tables
My problem is
1.do i need to have a staging table for bringing my actuals data into it first and then connect it to Essbase?
2. If yes, what shud be the table format, like the columns?
3. And, the user wants this to be automated. And if there are any changes to the base tables(tables with actual data in oracle) they shud be reflected in the essbase aslo. So is there any lookup functionality in ODI?
I am new to ODI so having many doubts. Hope to see a reply soon

Loading members to Essbase using ODI

Hi All,
We are planning to use ODI to load members from Oracle database to Essbase using ODI. Should we convert all the dimension tables in Oracle database to Parent-Child relation and then load it or can we use the existing hierarchial structure in Oracle database.
Thanks in Advance.
Kannan.

Hi,
If you reverse engineer an essbase cube it creates columns :- ParentName, MemberName.
When you load metadata into essbase using ODI it will need to be mapped against Parent and Member, to make it easier it would be useful if your source data is in parent/child format.
Cheers
