  • BI Admin Tool crashes when importing from Essbase

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to import an Essbase cube into my OBIEE RPD and it is causing the Admin Tool to crash with a generic Windows error msg that "BI Admin Tool has stopped working and Windows is looking for a solution"..
    I'm using OBIEE 10.3.1.4 with all components, including BI Server installed on my local machine which is Windows 7 32-bit. The Essbase server is on a different machine. The RPD is working fine for several other data sources, and crashes only when I try to import from Essbase. The Essbase server is also working fine. The crash happens regardless of whether I'm in online or offline mode. I even tried to create a new RPD in case the other one was corrupted, but even the new one crashes.
    I have Essbase client installed on the same machine as BI Server and my environment variables seem fine. All ports on the Essbase server machine are open and I can ping it from the BI Server machine, so it is not a network issue. I know this version of OBI is not officially supported on Windows 7, but it's working fine in all other respects. Has anyone had a similar problem in the past?
    Appreciate any advise.
    thanks,
    Axe

    I wonder if cube import only works when using a 32-bit Essbase client?

  • Import from Essbase

    Hi all,
    I have installed Essbase 9.3.1 and OBI 10.1.3.2, I am trying to use the Import from Multidimensional source option to import an Essbase database, all appears to be OK until I save the repository, then I get the error
    [nQSError:28003]Near Line 285, near<TYPE>:Syntax error [nQSError:26012]
    This happens for both my own Essbase data and the Essbase sample databases.
    Does anyone know the cause of this?
    thanks
    Ed

    Hmmm
    Unfortunately I now have another error:
    A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46121] [my essbase server name] is not a correct URL
    What I can't understand is if this is incorrect then how/why was I able to import the tables in the first place using the same connection info. This error is listed in the release notes for OBI 10.1.3.3.2, the recommended solution, use a valid URL!!
    Any ideas anyone please?

  • FDM csv file Import to ESSBASE

    Hi ,
    I am importing a csv file into ESSBASE through FDM, However the only processes that complete successfully are 1. Import 2. Validate and 3. Import .... When I click on "Check" its simply says processing please wait and I dont get an orange fish under the word "CHECK". Please Help , what am i missing??

    Hello,
    In order to have the check fish, you have to have Validation Entities and Validation Rules created and assigned to the location. You also have to have Pop-Ups disabled and a PDF viewer installed.
    Are you sure these requirements are met?
    Hopefully this helps....

  • How to automate Import/export Essbase data 11.1.2

    Hi,
    After migration from Dev to Test environment using LCM (EPMA Planning, Shared services) I have questions:
    1) How to automate export from source and import in Destination?
    2) If we have enabled MSAD in shared services, What should be standard practice to sync provisioning in both environment?
    Regards

    Hi John,
    I see only Native directory
    Application Group>Foundation>shared services> - Native directory
    - Task flows
    Application Group>Foundation>shared services> - Native directory>assigned Roles> foundation>shared services
    I feel MSAD should be here but not sure as it is just new environment and we enabled MSAD.
    Please suggest where can i check Import/export in LCM 11.1.2?

  • Windows error when importing Essbase cube into OBIEE

    Hi all:
    This question is perhaps more relevant to the OBIEE forum, but I put it up there a few days ago and got no response. So now I'm hoping to get some help on this side of BI land!
    My issue is that I'm trying to import an Essbase cube (system 11) into BI Admin Tool, but whenver I go to "Import from multidimensional" and hit "OK" after entering in the essbase server name and log/pwd, the BI Admin tool crashes. I get no error msg except for a couple of errors I see in the Windows event log:
    1. Faulting application path: C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\AdminTool.exe
    Faulting module path: C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essapinu.dll
    2. Faulting application path: C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\AdminTool.exe
    Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
    I'm running a standalone OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on my local machine (Windows 7 32-bit) and the Essbase Server is on a separate Windows 2008 machine. I can ping between machines and all ports are open on the Essbase machine, so I don't think this is a network related issue. Also, my OBI RPD is working fine in all other respects. I have other data sources working in there with no trouble. My Essbase server is also working fine. I also tried to do this in a new RPD in case the old one was corrupted, but get the same issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Akshay

    Akshay,
    You must have the Essbase client installed on the same machine where your OBI Administration Tool is installed. This should get you past the error that you are receiving and should fix your problem. Since you are running 32-bit just download the 32-bit Essbase client from Oracle. You will most likely need to run download the required files to install the Essbase client and with Hyperion 11x you should be familiar with that required software matrix since you have Essbase running on a seperate server already.
    But now looking at your post I see that you state that one of the paths in your error is C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essapinu.dll. The path C:\Oracle\Middleware is usually seen in Hyperion EPM 11.1.2. So, are you running Essbase 11.1.2 and OBIEE 10g or are you running OBIEE 11g? You'll need to specificy as OBIEE 11g can only interface with Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2 at present. And if I recall correctly the 11.1.2 Essbase client does not work with OBIEE 10g. Please clarify on these points.
    Let me know if that helps fix your issue. If that doesn't fix it post back here and we see if we can keep you going forward.
    Don't forget to reward points.
    Cheers,

  • Essbase Cube import to Oracle

    Doees anyone know how I can write code to import an Essbase cube into Oracle?

    Hi
    The problem you have is that Essbase is a cubed database so trying to access it using a database link from Oracle is going to be difficult. Does Essbase provide an ODBC connector? If it does you might be able to use the Oracle database's heterogenous services to connect. Basically you would be creating a database link to the Essbase database using ODBC.
    As I day, where I see difficulties are in the look and feel of Essbase, because its not a SQL database, and in obtaining an ODBC connector.
    As for scheduling an export from Essbase, you'd have to check with them on that. Most databases have such a feature so I would suspect there must be a way. Have you tried asking Hyperion about exporting and for an ODBC connector?
    Best wishes

  • Importing Essbase cube in OBIEE

    Hi Experts,
    I have imported the Essbase cube in to the OBIEE physical layer but the attribute dimension and the base dimension are not mapped.
    Please let me know how I can map the base dimension and the attribute dimension of Essbase cube in BMM layer.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for all your responses.
    Apparently it turns out that the Accounts dimension Hierarchy needs to be changed to type 'Value' for the measures to start working.

  • Linking existing Essbase Cube to Planning

    My business team created an Essbase cube, and now they want us to link that cube to Planning.
    I opened an SR and I was told the following:
    1. Ensure you have a test environment to create this new Planning app before moving to production.
    2. Create a new Planning app in the test environment with the same name as the production Essbase cube.
    3. Export all Essbase data.
    4. Copy over the outline to the new Essbase cube in the test env. You can copy over the rest of the Essbase objects as needed (calc scripts, report scripts, etc).
    5. Import the Essbase data into the new Essbase cube.
    6. refresh Planning
    Everything went well except for Step 6. When I do the refresh from Planning, the Essbase Outline gets updated with the one from Planning which doesn't have anything since it was just created.
    I need to refresh the Planning Outline with the the one from Essbase that does have the data the users have been working on.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You will have to define all the dimension membes etc to Planning. Because Essbase is the database, it will be updated with planning information... There are no shortcuts.. But you can export your dimension members from existing Essbase and load into planning using HAL/ODI/DIM..
    Use outline extractor tool to get the existing dimensionality and create 1 metadata file per dimensions.
    I believe Oracle support thought that you want to create a new Essbase cube from existing Planning cube.
    Cheers

  • Essbase+Obiee

    Hi,
    I have scenario, where I have imported one cube from Essable into Obiee Physical Layer. Then, changed the Outline of the Essbase Cube in the Essbase Server. That means I have added one more dimension in the Essbase Outline.
    My requirement is, when I update the Obiee(Rpd) using Tool-->Utilities-->Update Physical Layer-->Execute, It should automatically reflect the changes of Essbase Outline in the Physical Layer of Rpd.
    When I do the above process I am getting the following error. However, When I Import the Essbase cube once again as a fresh copy the changes are reflected in the physical layer of Obiee.
    Oracle BI Administration Tool
    [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: IM002 code: 0 message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
    OK
    Please reply ASAP.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Naren.

    My requirement is, when I update the Obiee(Rpd) using Tool-->Utilities-->Update Physical Layer-->Execute, It should automatically reflect the changes of Essbase Outline in the Physical Layer of Rpd.[http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/pdf/obiee-essbase-modeling-guide.pdf]
    Page 8, 4.1 "Subsequent Changes to the Essbase Outline" answers this precisely. You can not import schema changes, but either drop the physical model and recreate it with a fresh import or replicate the changes manually in the physical model of the initial import.
    Keeping the outline up-to-date manually is quite easy and in the most extreme cases requires a bit of UDML, but that's about it.

  • Synchronize MSAD and essbase groups and users automatic

    I know it is not possible to import to Essbase users and groups directly from MSAD or LDAP. All users are deffined with external authentication.<BR><BR>There is a way to create an application which make this synchronization possible ?<BR><BR>May I have some samples?<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR>

    If you are using LCM and groups are native and users are external provisioned against the groups then you will need to export the groups, if you want the provisioning against applications then you will also need to take that across.

  • Import dimension and member via maxl, how to create data file and rule file

    Hi
    I have a task to import dimension and member into Essbase, for project requirement, I have to use text file or spreadsheet file.
    I wonder which format can be imported into Essbase?
    I tried to create them, failed.
    Do you have any samples to help me? dimension file and rule file...
    I search a lot in http://gerardnico.com/wiki/epm/essbase/dimension_build#about , but there are no samples.
    Thanks in advance...
    Best regards,
    Samantha

    import database Sample.Basic data from data_file 'C:\TEMP\GENREF.txt' using rules_file 'C:\TEMP\GENREF.rul' on error append to 'C:\TEMP\logs\dimbuild.log';Here issue is not with rulefile but in reading the rule file.
    I hope rule file is in the database directory (By default it will get saved there only)
    Try with the below command
    import database Sample.Basic data from data_file 'C:\TEMP\GENREF.txt' using server rules_file 'GENREF' on error append to 'C:\TEMP\logs\dimbuild.log';
    Rule file also had one issue
    Market, Product, Measures, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, DecHere I am seeing only four dimensions from the Sample.Basic database
    Scenario is missing. So define Actual (Scenario Dimension member) in the rule file header definition.
    All dimensions must be identified to parse one data file with rule file.
    PS: Naming (GENREF) is also irrelevant if you are loading data. It is apt for dim load.
