Admin Task - Optimization application

Hey Experts,
I am trying to build an SSIS package to optimize a BPC application using the Admin Task tool. I am enter the AppSet and Server\UserID. I select my Application in the application box.
I am simply trying to select 'Full' as my 'Optimize method'. However, I do not want to do a 'Compress database'. When I close the admin task and go back into editing the admin task, I see that the 'Compress Database' box is checked. It appears that if I uncheck the box and close and run the SSIS package, it appears that the package is doing the full optimization, but it still compresses the main fact table even though I unchecked the 'Compress Database' box.
Why is the AdminTask in SSIS checking the 'Compress Database' box even though I am checking it off? How can I do a Full Optimization without a 'Compress Database' in SSIS?
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. We're running BPC 5.1 with SQL Server 2005.

I have found that not all the custom bpc task dialogs work as expected. You could set the value manual in the properties pane within ssis instead of using the dialog (COMPRESSDATABASE value to 0).
Or you could set the task values for the appropriate properties in the Advanced tab editor via eData > Organize package list.
A good place to look is in the examples package at the Admin_Optimize.dtsx package. Then you just hardcode the value for the property and remove the associated Prompt.
TASK(Admin_Optimize,COMPRESSDATABASE,0)

Set Application Parameters link not activate under Web Admin Tasks of Admin

In the " How to do currency translation..." paper, there is a statement as following:
"The currency conversion business rules tables can also be activated by going through the web
admin parameters where the following parameter is set to u201C1u201D.
FXTRANS 1
However after I login to BPC Admin consol, I notice that Set Application Parameters link not activate under Web Admin Tasks of Admin Consol.
Where should do this? Should I do it under Set AppSet Parameters?

DFW,
In the non-web Admin Console, you should also be able to accomplish the same thing by going to the application, clicking "Modify application", then "Change application type", then "Modify Application", then choosing the "Currency Conversion" application option.
In general, this is how business rules can be turned on without messing around in the application parameters, and should really be the preferred method unless you have done some kind of customization that an application modification will interfere with.

SSIS Admin Task 2008

Hi All:
I am currently trying to setup a new admin task to process and optimize applications in BPC 7.5. I have multiple Applications Sets and I am trying to connect to a new one, but the Admin task is not recognizing the different applications in the app set. There is little to no documentation on how to use the Admin Task 2008 tool in SSIS. Does anyone know what is happening and why it won't pick up the existing aplpications as a choice?

Hi Brent,
Those admin tasks should work.
Have you placed the Osofttasks in the ..\DTS\Tasks folder and added the tasks to the BIDS Toolbox Items?
When you drag an "Admin Task 2008" to your Control Flow in BIDS, right click on it and select properties.
Then update the AppSet and UserID properties to the correct values.
After you do this, double click on the Admin Task 2008 and choose the "Process Application" option. Now are you able to see the Applications in the Application area?
You can also just update the APPLICATIONLIST variable (right click --> properties) with a comma delimited list of applications in your AppSet.
Thanks,
John

Admin Task 2008 fails while executing from BIDS environment

Hello,
we developed a custom SSIS pcakge for automating master data load in BPC 7.5 MS.
The packages works fine when running form Data Managaer.
When executing the package from Business Intelligense development studio environement, only Admin Task 2008 with Create Dimension based on the SQL table option fails.
The user id has full authrozation in BPC.
Another information is that even this works fine when executing the package inside the server network.
But fails when executing this by logging to application server remotely.
Note that Run32bit property is already set to false.
Error message it gives is : The Task Create Dimension Fails
any expert thoughts are welcome.

0x80070047 = "No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept."
You must have some non-standard policy or restriction applied to the system hosting the share.

Optimize application does not empty FAC2 and FACTWB tables

Hello everyone,
I am currently using OutlookSoft 4.2.338 and recently came across the following problem:
Optimize application fails to empty FACTWB and FAC2 tables, even though it says "Successfully finished"
-Whenever I run an optimize process directly (= not scheduled), it takes less than one second and the message "Successfully finished" pops up. However FAC2 and FACTWB are NOT empty
- When I schedule an optimize proces, the log usually states "Fail"... (But not every time, it 's a bit random here)
- The problem occurs with one specific application in one specific appset (that contains 3 applications, the other 2 can be optimized just fine)
- The application contains a fairly large number of records (close to 20 millions) and, yes, some records have a "source" value at 1.
However, the same application, on a different server, with a bigger number of records (and more "1" source values!) optimizes just fine.
- The problem is not appset or server related, as other applications can be optimized without problem
- The application has data imports scheduled every night, and the FAC2 table keeps growing
- Data sent through an Input schedule stay in FACTWB.
Did anyone come across this sort of issue before?
Any suggestion as to how to be able to optimize the application again? (apart from moving the records manually from FAC2 to FACT...)
Many thanks in advance
David

Hello,
Unfortunately there is no such table. The only table where some mention of optimization is made is tblPackageLog, where the log of optimization tasks is recorded.
Thanks to both of you anyway.
David
PS: Actually your answers gave me the clue I needed, many thanks! On version 4.2, the table tblDefaults stores the optimization status
The query
select * from tblDefaults
where KEYID ='Optimize'
and APP= App name
showed that the value was somehow set to 1, preventing any optimization. I manually set it to 0, and that did the trick!!!
Many thanks again guys!

Error when loading actuals re: admin task exception thrown

The "admin task" step (#176 below) of an actuals load package we run is failing and yielding the error message "exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".

The link is the answer to the question. I know it is technically complicated but there is really no simple way to explain why that happens. Whenever you use and older form of specification with DTD instructions you need to use different methods to
validate. By shutting off the validating parser the document will load. The error is likely caused by a recursive definition in the DTDs or, more likely, an error is the XML structure as the document errors even when the DTDs are removed.

The sun-appserv-admin task doesn't support

Help! - this is driving me nuts! I am trying to build the bookstore example and get this error on asant steps that involve the admin-command-common target (such as "asant deploy-war").
I am running Studio Creator with SunAppServer8 under it. The command looks right. If I remove the passwordfile line from the admin-command-common target, I get the same error on another attribute in the command.
The password file exists where it should and contains valid information, including the correct password.
I have run this same bookstore example build on another workstation and it worked, but on that box, there was an instance of SunAppserver 7 (not under Studio Creator). That build was successful so I assume this is a configuration issue, but I don't know what it is. I am attaching the error and the listprops. If anyone knows what is wrong I sure would appreciate your help
Thanks!

Optimize Application

Hi Expert,
When I've done the optimize application on Finance. I get the message error like this:
- CubeProcess : Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found: Table: dbo_tblFactFinance, Column: INTCO, Value: "I_" & 6000.
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The process operation ended because the number of errors encountered during processing reached the defined limit of allowable errors for the operation.
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the 'Finance' partition of the 'Finance' measure group for the 'Finance' cube from the Bentoel database.
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The process operation ended because the number of errors encountered during processing reached the defined limit of allowable errors for the operation.
Internal error: The operation terminated unsuccessfully.
I also try to check the data on the table of "tblfactfinance" using the filter Intco='I_6000'. It's data have in that table.
You have any ideas please ?
Thanks,

Wandi,
I think the error is because there are invalid records in the facttable with a wrong intco member. Try to run the following query to see if it gives any result:
select * from tblfactfinance where intco not in (select id from mbrintco)
select * from tblfactwbfinance where intco not in (select id from mbrintco)
select * from tblfac2finance where intco not in (select id from mbrintco)
If this returns any records this is the cause of the error. In this case run :
delete from tblfactfinance where intco not in (select id from mbrintco)
delete from tblfactwbfinance where intco not in (select id from mbrintco)
delete from tblfac2finance where intco not in (select id from mbrintco)
If the error keeps coming back after the delete it might be that the invalid records are generated by a piece of logic that has a typo in it. In this case investigate what is the root cause of the invalid records.

How to run admin tasks with non-admin account ?

Hello,
The title says it all: I want to allow some non-administrative accounts to run admin tasks which must be run as root.
A solution would be to use 'sudo' and give rights to those non-admin accounts on the binaries used by the tasks. But I notably use 'chmod' and 'chown' in those tasks, and I would not want to give to non-admin accounts rights to run those commands as root outside the admin task scripts. But from my understanding of 'sudo', if I do it, non-admin accounts will be able to use chmod and chown outside the scripts. Is this right ?
The sid bit could have been a solution I think, but sadly it is not supported on Mac OSX 10.5.
Thanks

I am trying to use the sudo route add command in a script, which should run as part of a vpn connection config file. I get an unable to run script error in the log.
I searched and found the following older discussion

I tried that but I get a syntax error when trying to save the sudoers file I chose to save anyway.
Tried to run the command from the terminal and got the following error

Can you give me an example of your sudoers file with the correct syntax etc.

OBIEE Admin Tasks in Linux

Hi,
I like to know OBIEE Admin Tasks in Linux like how to move reports from DEV to UAT.
Thanks !

Hi,
As you know there are admin tools named:
- Catalog Manager
- Administration tool.
You can use there tools to connect to the repository through the network. So first install client tools on a developer or client computer. Then open the catalog manager and establish a connection to the Presentation Catalog on the DEV server. And open another catalog manager and login to the PROD, this time.
As a result, there will be 2 tools opened. You can just copy one item from DEV and paste it to PROD easily.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

How to get the Admin Task to Process Members from Member Sheet?

Hey guys!
I've been successful getting the Custom SSIS Admin Task to process a Dimension using a SQL staging table. However, we have a few dimensions that are best managed in the Excel Member sheets. When we have changes to these member sheets, is it possible to process the dimension using the SSIS Admin Task. If so, how do I go about doing this? What settings do I need to use within the task?
I've tried using the "Scheduled Members Process" option (I honestly don't even know what this option does and I've found no documentation), but when this option is selected the task simply fails without any messages. And I've tried putting the path directly to the Member Spreadsheet in the "SQL Source Table" box. Using this method, the package returns a successful status code, but it's not really processing anyway. It finishes in less than 2 seconds.
Thanks much!
Sean

I don't understand why you want to do this -- if you're maintaining some dimensions manually in the XLS member sheet, then you should process the changes manually too, using the Admin Console. No DTS is required, and you also get the benefits of validation & error messages right away.
Having said that, if you feel it's necessary, you could set up a DTS package which uses the XLS member sheet, via an Excel connection manager, as a data source which is loaded into your custom dimension staging table. Then this staging table is the source of the admin dimension processing task.
Beware, though, that this means every time you add or modify dimension properties, you will need to update the columns in both the Excel connection manager and the staging table. I've always found this to be a very frustratingly manual process in BI Dev Studio, to get the data fields to properly refresh. I usually end up deleting the source & destination data flow objects, just to get the new fields to show up. (Maybe there's a better way, but I haven't found it.)
I always consider the dimension-processing decision on automation to be all or nothing for each dimension. If you're maintaining the dimension manually in the member sheet, use the admin console to process it.
