Alias in Essbase Studio

I am using Essbase studio as a new.I have 2 columns in database with 'Account' in the fisrt column and ' Account Balance' as a alias as like
Memeber | alias
account | account balance.(member field and alias field are coming from database).
I am trying to use alias set to do it.when i am creating alias set, in the binding expression it gives me a "expression must be a type of string" .It happend several times and i am stopped at there.I dont understand why it is giving me that error.Please Let me know , process to populate alias through Studio to Essbase.

Aliases are expected to be text not other data types. If you want you can use the tostring function in Studio to convert it to a string

  • How to set alias using Essbase Studio?

    I have read through P113-P118 "Oracle Essbase Studio User Guide" about the how to set up alias. It seems easy t create the Alias Set according to the document.
    I want to set 100-10 alias as "Cola", the information comes from the TBC relational database. The product table in RLDB has field SKU and SKU_Alias columns, the value of SKU is: 100-10,100-20, etc.
    My binding is:
    Source: SKU
    connection : TBC::TBC.Product.SKU_ALIAS
    This is using the grammer in page 115
    connection :
    \'<logical_source_name'::'<physical_data_source_name>.<physical_tabl
    e_name>'.'<physical_column_name>'
    But after I deployed the cube, I cannot see the product alias name as expected from EAS? I tried 100 times, but cannot find what's wrong with me. Please advise, thanks!
    My question: How to set up or associate the alias set with the product items from Essbase Studio so that I can see it from EAS? thanks! Bob

    First it may be useful to convert the EIS TBC model to Studio, to do this you would have to configure EIS and create the TBC sample application.
    Once it has been created in Studio you can go to Tools > EIS Catalog migration and migrate the TBC app from EIS to Studio.
    If you use this method all the aliases etc will be already set up so you can see how it is done.
    To set up Aliases you would go to
    Tools > "Alias set Manager" > Create a new alias say "Default" and add a binding e.g. PRODUCTDIM.SKU to PRODUCTDIM.SKUALIAS
    Then on your Model right click "Essbase Properties" > Alias tab > Select the Default alias table and move to the selected tables window.
    This should of then assigned the default table, if you check the properties of say PRODUCTDIM.SKU in the alias tab Default and the mapping should be shown.

  • Essbase studio question

    Hi, I am using Essbase studio 11.1.2,
    I am finding that when i make changes to a hierarchy I can refresh the cube schema and my hierarchy changes are brought into the cube schema.
    When i refresh the essbase model the hierarchy changes are not brought into the essbase model, and it is necessary to regenerate the model.
    is this a known limitation of the studio or am i doing something wrong with the tool.
    The change i made to the hierarchy was to add attributes.

    From the new features guide found at
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_new_features/est_new_features.html
    , recreating or rebuilding an Essbase model is not required when you perform these operations:
    Change the binding, filter, sort order, or alias set bindings of a dimension element
    Change the binding, range, or alias set bindings of a derived text measure
    Change the value binding or ID binding of a text list
    Change an overridden data load binding in a cube schema
    Note that recreating or rebuilding an Essbase model is required when you perform the following operations:
    Reorder, add, or remove members in a hierarchy or measure hierarchy
    Add or remove hierarchies from a cube schema
    Add or remove any loose measures in a cube schema
    Change the measure hierarchy in a cube schema
    Override the default data load bindings in a cube schema
    So it sounds like it is working as designed, you need to rebuild the Essbase model

  • Unable to load data into Essbase cube using Essbase Studio

    Hi
    We are creating an essbase cube using Essbase Studio using flat files as data sources.
    We have taken different hierarchies into different flat files and created one fact file having dimension intersection along with data.
    We are able to create the cube and the hierarchy but not able to load any data.
    We are getting the following error
    Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
    Caused by: Unable to perform dataload from more than one flat file.
    Could anyone please help on this?

    Oh this was killing me, so I did this test in 11.1.1.3:
    1) Excel 2007 format -- no go, Essbase didn't see it
    2) Excel 2003 format, three sheets -- only the first sheet was read into an empty rule
    3) Excel 2003 format, one sheet -- the first sheet was read into an empty rule
    4) Excel 95 format, one sheet -- the first sheet was read into an empty rule
    The lesson?
    1) Excel 2007/2010 sheets don't work (no surprise there as the .xlsx format isn't supported).
    2) Excel 2003 and lower (hey, if you have Excel 4, I'll bet that works as well) work, but only the first sheet is recognized.

  • How to Clear Deployment History in Essbase Studio 11.1.2

    Hi All,
    I was unable to export the entire catalog in Essbase Studio 11.1.2.So,I posted the issue with Oracle Support and got reply as follows
    "found the failure for the export of entire catalog could be related to a large deployment history. In this case there are two options for 11.1.2.0.00 release
    1. Try to increase memory setting but on Windows 32-bit platforms ensure it should be below the maximum setting of 2048 MB.
    2. If it doesn't help, please try to clean-up deployment history."
    Which setting I have to increase

  • Essbase Studio Error in 11.1.2.2

    Hi Everyone,
    I have installed hyperion 11.1.2.2 in windows 2008 Server and configured sucessfully however when i click on essbase studio console i am getting the below error.
    A javaruntime environment (JRE) or java development kit (JDK) must be available. No Virtual Machine was found after searching the following locations.
    C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\Essbasestudio\console\jre\bin\javaw.exe
    javaw.exe is current path.
    i don't see the javaw.exe file in the above path. Kindly help me in this.
    Regards,
    AS

    If you edit
    <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseStudio\Console\startStudio.bat
    then you will probably see "set JAVA_HOME=..." is pointing to an incorrect location
    As the Studio console is 32bit then it needs to point to a 32bit JRE e.g.
    set JAVA_HOME="E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\JRE"

  • Error while deploying Essbase studio

    Hi All,
    I need some help with the studio deployment error. I have created a bat script to run Maxl which will deploy essbase studio, then create some user defined measures using rules files and then calculation.
    When I ran the batch script first time, it was successful. Now its giving me the following error :
    BPM Connect Status: Success
    Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
    Caused by: Cannot begin incremental build. Essbase Error(1007151): Wrong incremental dimension build sequence
    BPM maxl deployment ...failure.
    Please help
    Thanks

    There is no issue for BSO cubes. Internally the BSO outlines are different from ASO cubes and this restriction does not appear in them. For ASO cubes, the problem is caused by deleting and readding dimensions. If you do incremental builds on dimensions, you will not have the 255 dimension issue, but the ASO outline will still grow. So the compaction utility in EsscmdQ is still valid for that.

  • Error in deploying the cubes in Essbase Studio

    I am getting below error when I try to depoly ASO cubes in Essbase Studio.
    ***Failed to deploy Essbase cube***
    ***Caused By: Error when retrieving data from SQL source***
    ***Caused By: Error when retrieving data from SQL source***
    ***Caused By: [Hyperion][DB2 JDBC Driver]SQLDIAGGRP was specified and not null.***
    I also checked the error log generated in the applications asking to increase the NETDELAY and NETRETRY COUNTS in ESSBASE.CFG, the config file. I made those changes, restarted the services and deployed again but in vain.

    There have been a number of MaxL bugs with encryption that produce 'Parse error near...' messages. If you login to Oracle Support and search the Knowledge Base on 'Parse error near' you will find them. I can't see anything specifically relating to 11.1.2.1 or a known defect in the release notes... ...I'd get a support ticket raised, if you haven't already.
    You don't mention platform, but I've also run into a bug running 'deploy' in 11.1.2.1 on a 64-bit Windows environment and there was a Unix bug too, but they both caused crashes so probably aren't your problem.

  • Essbase studio 11.1.2.1 problem

    First of all hello to all and please please help. I'm in the on-site poc engagement where we successfully loaded customer's hierarchies using essbase studio but we cannot somehow make it working with loading data.
    Few details:
    fact table is very large, around 16 M records and is based on Oracle DB.
    The message I'm getting after launching only load task says:
    Cannot join following sets of tables: 1. [connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KREDYTY']
    2. [connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.DORADCA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KAT_RYZYKA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.ORGANIZACJA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.OBSZAR', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_KRED', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_PROD', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KANAL', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_RACH', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.POC_PARMPF_AGR', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TERMIN', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.LINIA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.PODMIOT', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.SALDA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_OPROC', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.DEPOZYTY', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.WALUTA'].
    I don't understand that as I did created joins between fact table and dimension tables.

    Also, can somebody tell me why I cannot setup custom sql ?
    I'd really appreciate your help as we can win million + deal
    Thanks!!!!

    I hear that there is a really good book available now on Studio (http://www.amazon.com/Look-Smarter-Than-Essbase-Studio/dp/1458362434/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336684325&sr=8-1), you may want to see if that helps. Hopefully the very reasonable cost can be viewed as a good investment for that million + deal.

  • Essbase Studio Alternate Hierarchy Creation error

    Hi All,
    I'm using Essbase Studio to create an alternate hierarchy. I have a dim which has shared members and I'm getting the following error msg during cube deployment:
    1. Record #1- Member Name (SKU) already used i.e. the member for which I m trying to create shared member
         I m following the same procedure mentioned in the user guide i.e.
            Step1: create a copy of the dimension element that you want to designate as a shared member(Renamed SKU_copy with SKU_Diet). By making a copy, the binding expression for this element is the same as the original dimension element (SKU_Diet).
           Step2: when you create the second hierarchy in the chain, which is the alternate hierarchy, add a user-defined membas the parent and add the new dimension element (SKU_Diet) as the child, which will be the shared member.
         Even I m able to see the shared members (SKU_Diet) under user defined member "Diet" under the preview window (both by key binding and caption binding) as wel..
         But I m unable to see the shared members in EAS console after deploying the cube from Essbase Studio to EAS Console.
    I m not able to understand what I m missing exactly,.and suggest me other ways as well for creating alternate hierarchies in Essbase Studio.
    Thanks in advance..!!

    looks like similar issue..

  • Data load error in essbase studio

    I get the following error when trying to load an ASO cube using Essbase Studio (EPM 11.1.2). This error doen't seem to be documented in any of the Essbase manuals. Question - does this error indicate an essbase server issue or a data source issue? I'm thnking it's datasource related, but my data source is an Oracle database, which I've used previously to load cubes without a problem. I've refreshed the source and can connect to it fine otherwise.
    Error:
    Data load started at: Fri Dec 03 08:52:21 EST 2010.      Data load elapsed time:  10 Minutes 23 Seconds.
    Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
    Caused by: Failed to load data into database: 8020.
    Caused by: Cannot execute a SQL query
    Caused by: Io exception: Socket read timed out
    Caused by: Socket read timed out
    Appreciate any hel with this issue.

    When I have issues with Studio I try to break it down slowly. I build my dimensions one at a time. If it breaks on a single dimension build I trace the issues backwards and usually find my issue in the schema.
    Studio's role in life is to create SQL load rules and as such depend on a good schema definition. Unforntunately, the dimension build rules can't be opened in EAS with the Dataprep Editor (regular load rules) because they're binary and can do things that a normal load rule cannot (text measures, date measures, time varying attributes, etc.). But that doesn't mean the .rul files are un-readable. If you're having trouble with a particular dimension build process, open the load rule it creates with something like Notepad and grab the SQL that Studio is generating and drop it into Toad (or equivalant) to see if it is generating usable code. If not, there's something wrong with your modeling and you need to go back to the mini-schema.
    When you're able to build all dimensions all at the same time, you're almost there. If your issues comes when you want to build and load data, the final debuging steps go quickly. Towards that end, the data load rules (ones that load data vs. building dimensions) generated by Studio can be edited in EAS using the Dataprep Editor. If you know SQL Load Rules, you should be able to figure out. If not, contact John Goodwin, OCS or a partner and set up a consulting visit.

  • How to use Logical operators in Essbase Studio?

    I want to add a new Dimension Element like
    if ( connection : \'SH'::'SH.CUSTOMERS'.'CUST_GENDER' == "M" ) then "Male"
    else "Female"
    However, there isn't 'if ... then ...' expression in Essbase Studio. I'm puzzled to the usage of logical operators such as '==', '!=', and so on.

    The == and !== are to set conditions for filtering. the ! meand not. In esscense these allow you to get a subset of rows that meet the conditions specified. In your case where Gender == "M" you will only get those rows where the value is "M". What you want to do is transform rows not filter them. I have not looked at studio enough yet to know how to do this, but a few things come to mind. First, you could use text to create the outline menbers instead of values from the tables, you could crete a reference table with the M = Male and F = Female and join to it to get the values or you could use a standard load rule and sql interface to load the data and just build the dimensions and drill through from Studio. I think I would opt for the second option
