Report script issue (ASO cube)

Hi All,
I have few report scripts in ASO which I am executing them using Maxl.
When I run the scripts manually and exporting it to console window, I am able to see the data.
When I use Maxl and exporting it to excel file, the log file does not show any error and data is not exported to excel file.
Can anyone help me if they faced a similar problem with report scripts.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rav

There are 8+ scripts and here is one of the similar script. Few are Asymmetric scripts with columns, Year and Months.
I think there is no issue with the script as I have run it many times before but from past two days I am facing the problem as it exports partial data or else no data is exported.
It is not throwing any errors including cartesian product error.

Report script issue - showing comma in numbers

Good Morning,
I have a report script that runs on one Essbase cube and produces a datafile to load into a Planning cube via a load rule. The issue is that when I load the datafile into Planning, it says it is loaded successfully but not all of the data loads. I also do not recieve an error log. I have checked the datafile and all of the relevant data is stored. I believe that the issue is that the report script has commas in the numbers. The load rule replaces the comma with a space, but I believe this is causing an issue with the load. Perhaps there is an extra comma somewhere in the file and when the load rule loads the file, it thinks it has finished.
My question is, how do I remove the commas within the numbers in the report script? Below is a portion of the report script.
// This portion of the script captures data at level 2 and generation 9 within the four operating divisions to get all field level data
<LINK (( <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1301008017","Lev2,Entity") or <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1301008019","Lev2,Entity") or <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1301008021","Lev2,Entity")
or <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1301008029","Lev2,Entity")) and <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1201008065","Gen9,Entity"))

Do you use a { SUPCOMMAS } in your report script? That should suppress all commas in data values.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/rw_supcommas.html
You might also think about SUPALL:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/rw_supall.html
FWIW, I had a Planning app like this last year. The importing of the report script output into Access (oh, the horror) to do moderately intensive mapping and aggregating was...painful. The only cool part was that I was "not allowed to source data from the app" but I could "run any retrieve I wanted so long as security allowed it". Hmm, how is that different? Okay then, report scripts are it. ;)

Performance of Financial Reports against a ASO Cube to a BSO Cube

Hi All,
I am working on Financial Reporting and Essbase. I wanted to understand and find some relevant documentation, which tells about the performance issues or difference when a financial report hits a BSO cube or an ASO cube.
1. If there is a difference in the performance for an ASO vs BSO for Financial Reports, where can I find the document or details for it?
2. If there is a difference in the performance for an ASO vs BSO for Financial Reports, what is the reason for the same?
3. How can we improve the ASO performance for the reports?
Any insights for the same, would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ankur Jain.

Thanks Sean V,
Its quite amazing for me as well, and that is why I am trying drill into any of the FR documentation which might contain something like this. As of now,since I don't have access to the cube, I have nothing to add, nor have the insights to the cube, based upon which I could explain, more on the Cube and Outline design.
But as soon as I get the access, I will bring this back and have a discussion on the forum.
Thanks for confirming the same, of what I had been explaining to my Client side as well. Though, I still need some basis to explain and prove them exactly and a prototype as well, which might be needed as well.
Thanks,
Ankur Jain.

Report Script issue

Hi,
Is it possible to create a Report Script that would export Period data (jan, feb, ... dec) condition being that the start period is a subvar. Eg. from &FcstMonth to Dec, where &FcstMonth is Aug.
Regards
Leo

Hi Leo,
I have a report script that is running with &FMonths set to "Aug" "Sep" "Oct" "Nov" "Dec"
same should work on your side,

Report Scripts Issue

Hello,
I try to write the report script but cannot find out how to avoide this space-"movement". Is it possible to adjust this with some command? In the manual all the scripts look fine, properly aligned and centered. Cant get that in console. WIDTH, NAMESCOL could not help me. TABDELIMIT supresses many other formatting properties.
Example is below, with a row value 615, which travels from the center of each column.
Thank you
Ole

Report Execution issues after cube comperssion

Hi Everyone.
We had performance issues with respect to report execution in SAP portal. After the analysis we have realised that the cube is growing in its size and reached 200 million already.
As per SAP suggestion, we had compressed the cube and the reports started running faster than before.
Now, after the release we have realised that some report executions with hierarchy expansion are caused exception in BEX web application.
Below is the error that we receive
When verified the query, we identified that "Active" was set to "Suppress Zeros" query properties and when we modified it is " Active ( All values =0)" it was working fine.
Could not figure out the reason behind this.
Any quick response is much appreciated.

Just wanted to help others on this issue if they face in future.
We are basically in patch 3 and SAP recommended to upgrade the system to patch 10 to solve this issue.
We are still in the process of doing this as it needs approvals, testing etc to be done.
Hope this will be solved after this upgrade and I will post the result in this blog.
Stay tuned .

Regarding report scripts

Hi all,
I am using two report scripts in ASO cube,
1. to export Budget data
2. to export actual data
The amount of data in the cube is same for these two scenarios and all the other dimensions are also fixed at the same state in the two report scripts.
Exporting of budget data taking less than minute but export of actual data taking nearly 12 minutes.
Can anyone suggest me with possible issue if they faced such a similar problem.
Question may not be completely clear but I can provide inputs for individual understanding.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rav

i tried this and it works
go to database right clk> edit properties>dimension tab
just clik on members in dimension it will show u highest to lowest
take that order and keep the same order in ur report script for the one which is taking much time
hope it will help

Data Copy in ASO Cube

I have created an ASO cube (which is new to me, I have only worked with BSO before) and loaded data to scenario1. I know you cannot use calc scripts in ASO cubes, so how do I copy data from Scenario1 to scenario2?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
-RB

You don't mention what version you are on. If it is pre 11.1.2 you would have to extract the data using something like a report script then change the scenario and reload it. If you are on 11.1.2.X then you can use user defined calculations to copy the data. Look in the teck reference under MaxL Calculate and make sure you siwtch to the ASO version

Issue with report Script. DECIMAL option not working properly

Hi All,
One of my report scripts has the option { decimal n } set. Now I am getting this to work only for account members which has a '%' symbol in the name. For all other accounts, data is being exported as a whole number even though the cube has decimal values. This is an ASO cube. Any thoughts?

Report script taking very long time to export in ASO

Hi All,
My report script is taking very long time to execute and finally a message appears as timed out.
I'm working on ASO Cubes and there are 14 dimensions for which i need to export all data for all the dimensions for only one version.
The data is very huge and the member count in each dimension is also huge, so which is making me difficult to export the data.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Here is a link that addresses several ways to optimize your report script. I utilize report scripts for Level 0 exports in an ASO environment as well, however the majority of our dimemsions are attribute dimensions.
These are the most effective solutions we have implemented to improve our exports via report scripts:
1. Make sure your report script is written in the order of how the Report Extractor retrieves data.
2. Supressing Zero and Missing Data
3. We use the LINK command within reports for some dimensions that are really big and pull at Level 0
4. Using Symmetric reports.
5. Breakout the exports in multiple reports.
However, you may also consider some additional solutions outlined in this link:
1. The MDX optimizing commands
2. Back end system settings
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag/drpoptim.htm
I hope this helps. Maybe posting your report script would also help users to provide feedback.
Thanks

How to Combine 2 dimensions in ASO cube for Reporting

Hello,
We have several OBIEE reports being extracted out of ASO Essbase cube through the RDP Layer.
The requirement by a new report is to Combine two dimension in the Underlying ASO cube.
The following two dimension needs to be combined into one, using MDX intersection

REGION
- APAC
- AMEA
Combined Dimension
- OIL_APAC [MDX]
- GAS_APAC [ MDX]
Can you please help me the MDX syntax for acheiving the above

Issue with the supshare Report Script Command

Hi All,
I have created a report script to extract the Level0 data for the members of the accounts dimension and It does work fine and the performance is also good. However I have a challenge here. The shared members are repeating and therefore I used “<supshare” command in order to avoid the repetition. It does work, however there is an issue here.
For eg, I am trying to retrieve the data as below and they are level0 members. The NetExpense is a “Level0” member and also a “shared member”, However the original “Net Expense” comes under Level3 and since I have used <Supshare and asked to retrieve only Lev0 accounts it is therefore ignoring the “Net Expenses” for all the Dept and product intersections. Hope I am clear and not confused? Is there anything i could change or add to retrieve the correct data.
Would anyone be able to help me on this issue.
<supshare “Lev0 Accounts”
Data Retrieval Ex : DeptA  NetExpense No Product  1200
Thanks

Thanks Glen. I tried the below link statement. This is an example. My accounts dimension has 8 childern (A to H) out of which 4 are level 0 members ("B"to "E") and the remaining have so many members underneath. The member"H" is where my confusion starts, it has 4 children (Ex 1,2,3,4) and all are shared members. Here i need not worry about children 2 and 3 since they have no data. Children 4 is a level 0 and a shared member, however the Children 4 main location is also located at Level 0. Therefore when i use supshare this appears only once. one problem is solved.
Now coming to Children 1, this is a Level 0 for parent "H", however this is also a child of "A" and this by itself has levels underneath. So this Sup share is not allowing me to retrieve the data Child 1 though it is level 0 and since it is shared member.
This case how do i modify the report in such a way i get all level 0 data of my accounts and suppress shared members. Hope i have not condused...

Ncome Statement & Balance Sheet Reporting via a single ASO cube

Hi All,
I wanted to get some perspective on industry best practices as it relates to performing Income Statement & Balance Sheet reporting via a single Essbase ASO cube. As both these areas share a lot of common dimensions, do most of the companies implement a single cube for integrated reporting or split cubes and have tools like HFR, Web Analysis etc. combine the information from those cubes for integrated cube.
Appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thanks!

In 16 years of Essbase/Hyperion experience (14 of them consulting and training), I have seen just as many clients combining income statements and balance sheets in the same cube (BSO or ASO) as I have seen separate the two into individual cubes. Just as the BSO/ASO decision should factor in data volumes and hierarchy size, the combined/separate cube decision must come from good analysis of the situation at hand. Sometimes it is just a design preference for the company at hand.
Your question seems weighted toward ASO, so I would encourage you to make sure you are using ASO for the right reasons. I reserver ASO for cubes where the current or planned amount of history carried will be massive and/or when a very large hierarchy is required. Otherwise, I prefer to have the full flexibility of BSO.
One favorite project was for a re-insurance company in Bermuda (you can probably guess some of the other reasons I considered it a favorite project!?!). The consolidated P&L and B/S were in the same cube. This allowed us to properly "connect" the two statements such that retained earnings at the end of a quarter could flow over to hit the balance sheet. Of course, a two-cube design wouldn't necessarily prevent this thanks to @XREF (which didn't exist back in those days) or partitioning to name a couple of alternative. This makes my point that, to some extent, it all comes back to a matter of design preference for you and your project team.

You have asked this question the essbase forum :- ncome Statement & Balance Sheet Reporting via a single ASO cube
Best keeping it to one forum and seeing it is a purely essbase question.

Building Drill through reports from aso cube using odi in webanalysis11.1.3

I need some urgent help as i have a important requirement for an essbase aso cube .I was trying to establish a database connection to build a drill through report in webanalysis from oracle datawarehouse.the integration tool which we are using to get data from oracle datawarehouse to hyperion is odi.My question are
1) Can drill through reports be built using odi like eis from an aso cube?if yes whats the procedure?
2) is there any alternate ways to bring transaction level or relational data for reporting in webanalysis?
regards,
praveen.
Edited by: user13070887 on Oct 11, 2010 3:48 PM

Hi Glenn,
We tried optimizing the drill through SQL query but actually when we run the directly in TOAD it takes *23 secs* but when we do drill through on the same intersection
it took more than 25 mins. Following is our query structure :
(SELECT *
FROM "Table A" cp_594
INNER JOIN "Table B" cp_595 ON (cp_594.key = cp_595.key)
WHERE (Upper(cp_595.*"Dim1"*) in (select Upper(CHILD) from (SELECT * FROM DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL') WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1 START WITH PARENT = $$Dim1$$ CONNECT BY PRIOR CHILD = PARENT UNION ALL select Upper(CHILD) from DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL' AND REPLACE('GL_'||CHILD, 'GL_IC_', 'IC_') = $$Dim1$$))
And ----same for 5 more dimensions
Can you suggest some improvement ? Please advice.
Thanks
