Analytical Cubes

Analytical Cubes
I'm trying to build a cube report using Performer Tasks by OU and can't seem to get additional performers on the report. Could there be a filter attached that I'm not aware of? I've been reviewing the training documentation and the only thing it's showing me is that i can add multiple people. Help!?

The performer "dimension" is hiearchical. You can select a single performer, all the performers in an OU, all the OUs, or a selection of OUs. You can hide the performers or perform OUs that you don't want to see in the report.
I don't know if you can select a performer from one OU and another from another OU without selecting the rest of the performers in these two OUs.
Does that help?

BI Beans 9.0.4 - How to get it Working

Hello ... Hoping this is not an old boring issue, i hereby give some advice on how to get the Oracle 9iR2 database with OLAP option and BI Beans to work.
I had dificulties with this subject for two weeks now, I asked for help on all forums and I thank everyone for their patience.
Here goes:
1. Install Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.1) Enterprise edition.
2. Download and apply the 9.2.0.6 patch, available on metalink.
3. Follow carefully the pre and post install instructions for the patch, in the readme file.
3. Install Oracle 10g(9.0.4) JDeveloper just by unpacking the contents of the zip (available on OTN) in a folder (D:\OraDS let's say).
4. Install the Oracle 9.0.4 BI Beans, using the Universal installer and specifying a new Oracle Home exactely in the folder where Jdeveloper was installed (d:\OraDS).
5. Install the BIBDEMO schema by running
bibdemo.bat %ORACLE_HOME%\oradata\Database_name
6. Run the test to check if everything's allright
d:\OraDS\bibeans\bi_checkconfig\bi_checkconfig.bat -h hostname -po port -sid sid -u user -p password -qusing BIBDEMO/BIBDEMO as user/pass. If metadata retrieval is successful, then you have a running BIBDEMO schema.
OK ... now, assuming you have some business intelligence problem of your own, you might want to create your own schema. This is where I ran into another load of problems.
My advice is to sudy the contents of the sql files in the bibdemo schema and do exactely the same stuff for your own.
You will find it easy to create dimensions and cubes using the wizard.
BUT, if you do anything wrong, not only your metadata won't work, but it will also ruin BIBDEMO.
After creating your own objects, you have to run
exec cwm2_olap_metadata_refresh.mr_refresh;
commit;
If you run bi_checkconfig you will see the metadata unable to be retrieved. In JDev it will result in strange errors like <<Although it successfully connected to the database, the metadata couldn't be retrieved>> ... or something, or simply in not being able to see your measure folders when you try to make a presentation or graph.
Also, cube viewer will again show the "infamous bell error", although it works for the BIBDEMO ANALYTIC CUBE after completing the 6 steps I described.
The fact is that all the errors are not product related, but simply the result of creating incorrect OLAP objects and refreshing the metadata using an user that has OLAP_DBA role, thus spoiling all metadata, including BIBDEMO's.
I spent some time studying their schema, and I found something very interesting, which I thing is a mistake. All my tables (and also the fact table) had primary/foreign keys of the NUMBER type. I transformed all the primary keys in my tables in VARCHAR2, ran the metadata refresh procedure again, and everything worked. Don't forget to create a measure folder and add your own measure there, and after that ... way you go. You will see them in JDev, and you will be able to do all kinds of graphs or crosstabs with amazing ease. Pretty slow though, I reccomend at least 512MB of RAM, an strong processors.
Please advice me if I was wrong with turning the keys from NUMBER to VARCHAR, perhaps there was another way around, but I don't know. Also, if there are any instructions, post them here.
Thanks.

I remember this being an issue with 92041 but was supposed to be fixed in 9205 and I think we tested it worked okay. So, it could be that 9206 has reintroduced the problem? I would recommend logging a bug with Oracle Support because you should be able to create dimension keys based on numberic keys.
Hope this helps

Join fact tables with different grain without upsetting measures?

Say I am a business analyst at a university, and I have two analytical cubes available to me: an Enrollment Cube and an Admissions Cube. The Enrollment Cube has a grain of Student and Semester, whereas the Admission Cube has a grain of Student, Application and Semester (a potential student can have more than one application in a semester). Is there any way for the OLAP developer that makes these cubes to make it so that I can use both cubes' fact tables without messing up their corresponding measures, such that I can create such analyses as the following:
County
Semester
Acceptance Rate (Admission Fact)
Retention Rate (Enrollment Fact)
County A
1
30%
88%
2
60%
87%
3
42%
84%
County B
1
90%
100%

One suggestion is to create a view that joins the 2 fact tables and then create a cube with measures mapped to the view for analysis purposes. However, this would be using the measures of the new cube for the analysis.

Business Process Analytics - Analysis Section

Hi,
I have configured multiple Solutions as part of Business Process Monitoring and all of pre-requisites has been taken care for performing Business Process Analytics.
We do select the "Solution for analysis" (under Key Figure Context) After applying the timeframe. However unable to see the second solution from the drop down as it always displays only one solution to select. Anything else to be done ?
Regards,

Hi LAKSHMINARAYANA
Judging from your comment, Analytics seems to work for 1 solution at least.
So I consider basic setting (like activating Analytic cube, RFC connection) are fine.
Please check following point.
1)Does your user has authorization to access other solutions ?
By using authorization object D_SOL_VSBL(field name SOLUTION), you can still
control the access to the specific solution in Analytics.
The object might be in role SAP_SV_SOLUTION_MANAGER or SAP_OP_DSWP_BPM.
So please check whether your user has filter to specific solution.
2)The satellite system has enough ST-A/PI release ?
To use analytics, satellite system needs ST-A/PI version M.
If not, please update ST-A/PI.
3)Extend time frame.
Sometime, there is no data for specific timeframe.
So maybe you can just extend the timeframe to see.
2011/1/1-2010/1/1 <= Instead of 2010/1/1, let's use 2008/1/1
Best Regards

0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL No data from PIPE to POS Analytics

Hi Guys I hope you are fine!
I am new to POSDM and I need to extract data from the PIPE.
I am Using the configuration guide from SAP and I have made the pipe configuration as per the guide said.
I understand I need to execute the PIPE dispatcher and execute the tasks 01 and 04 and after that I would be able to extract the data using the delta infopackages already created and initialized.
The problem is I am not able to get the data from the pipe!, I have checked the TLOGS and TLOGL tables and I can see the data in there, but i still do not find the way to upload this data to the POS Analytic cubes (green light in Monitor but cero records ).
Any advice will be appreciated!
best regards.

Hi Ramesh,
all POS Analytics data sources still do not support full updates. Regarding the OSS not I would assume that is was created in 2004 and never updated in later releases.
What you can do if you still have the transactions in PIPE is to reset the task status für te BW task and run this again.
Kind regards
Carsten

Cannot drop cube or analytic workspace due to ORA-37409

The error is ORA-37409: cannot delete or truncate AW used by CUBE ORGANIZED table.
This seems very closely related to the bug discussed in this thread: Drop cube organized table
We need to drop and rebuild a cube due to a design change. It looks like there are some CR$ tables related to the cube preventing the drop.
We cannot drop the CR$ table, nor can we drop the cube, nor can we drop the analytic workspace. We have tried disabling materialized view refresh on the cubes (which works but leaves the CR$ tables out there). We have tried the drop using dbms_aw.aw_delete and with dbms_cube.import_xml (to remove everything). No such luck.
Is there a workaround you can give me that will allow us to drop the CR$ tables? Or a workaround that will allow us to drop the workspace?

Update:
Our last attempt to drop the analytic workspace did remove almost all OLAP metadata. However, there were still rows in sys.olap_tab$ with object IDs relating the problem CR$ tables. In a test database, we confirmed that deleting these rows does allow us to drop the CR$ tables that cannot otherwise be dropped. However, running DML against a sys-owned table like this is unwise at best, and certainly an unsupported workaround (unless we can get Oracle's blessing to do it).
We may go through MOS and see if Oracle can provide a one-off patch for the bug listed above, to correct this situation. Or perhaps they may be able to provide some other direction.
This puts us in a situation where our only immediate option may be to uninstall the OLAP option and reinstall it.

Analytical functions-ROLLUP&CUBE

Hi,
Can anyone give me a clear explanation on the 2 analytical fns rollup and cube?I'm finding it a bit confusing.

Help-Cubes are not getting started when Analytical server started in 11.1.1

Installed Oracle Essbase Analytical server along with Shared Services, Provider Services and Integration Services thru EPM v11.1.1.3. Shared services and provider services on Windows 2003 and Essbase Analytical Services and Integration Services on UNIX/AIX. All the components got configured successfully. Copied the essbase.sec from the server which has previous version (v11.1.1.1.0) of Essbase. We have been encountering couple of problems. The first one is the applications(cubes) didn't start when the analytical server started. The second one is when trying to start using MAXL script, the applications took long time (more than 30 minutes) to start.
Any suggestions that you may have in resolving this are appreciated. Thanks,

In the application properties, is the box 'Start application when Essbase server starts' checked? If not, that's why they didn't automatically start. Also, once you started them manually, does it still take 30 minutes to start? Or is shutdown and startup faster now?

Connecting to MS Analytical Services cubes from Oracle

Is it possible for Oracle to connect and retreive data from a Microsoft Analytical Services cube?
We have a requirement to use the agregated data from a MS Analytical Services cube in Oracle.
I can think of two ways to do this:
1. Connect to the MS Analytical Services cube from Oracle.
2. Transfer the cube from MS Analytical Services into the Oracle OLAP engine.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Others can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it is possible to connect directly to a MS AS cube from Oracle.
However, is the base data for your MS AS cube in MS SQL Server too? If so, it is definitely possible to connect to SQL Server and load this data into Oracle.
Would this give you what you need?

Analytic Workspace Manager possible bug: Maintain Cube hangs

Hi All,
I am a newbe, I have been following the tutorial "Building OLAP 11g Cubes". http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/olap_cube/buildicubes.htm
After the step "Maintain Cube SALES_CUBE", I got the information box "Loading facts for cube SALES_CUBE"...on the screen for the last 4 hours.
Is this normal? Should I kill the process and start again?
I am running Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 on a Virtual Machine with Windows Server 2008 Standard SP1 with 1GB RAM.
The Analytic Workspace Manager is 11.2.0.1.0 running on a Windows XP SP3.
Any help is much appreciated

I'm getting a similar problem, I cannot maintain cubes that worked fine yesterday:
An error has occurred on the server
Error class: Express Failure

It all started after I tried to add a calculated measure to an existing cube (something I have done before in 11g...a feature I love).
This is too bad, so far I've been loving 11g Olap as compared to 10g Olap. But now 11g is starting to crop up these bullshit bugs as well. I guess OLAP is still too crappy to rely on for production....good thing I won't recommend a rollout of this product to my clients. It's a great tool for having fun with development, but using Oracle Olap + AWM in a real company is career suicide.

Delete dimension/cube in Analytic Workspace

Hello, I've created some dimensions and cubes in an analytic workspace using DBMS_AW package. But, How can I delete these objects using a similar methodology? I have not found any procedure like CREATE_AWDIMENSION/CREATE_AWCUBE that helps me to delete the object.
Thanks by your help.

In 9.2x code stream, having it not in cwm2/all_olap2_dimensions means it will be invisible/unaccessible to the OLAP API but, as you point out, it still exists in the AW, and as such, it still exists in all_olap2_aw_dimensions.
The early comment was a way to potentially "work around" the inability of no automation to "fully" delete it, by suggesting a way to "partially" delete it so as to "hide" the dimension from the OLAP API, without actually deleting it (or any of it's storage, obviously) from the AW.

HANA Analytical View Display Data Issue

SAP Experts,
Need your kind help for the below issue,
I've created an analytical view from a DSO Active Table in HANA Studio. Through IDT (Information Design Tool), when I tried to view the contents of this DSO table (AYPURDA0100) by connecting to HANA, I see the following error which is mentioned below,
Error:
Error while refreshing the data provider.
Cause of Error:
SAP AGSDBODBC DLLHDB General error;7 feature not supported: cannot execute select * on olap cube: zthd/AYPURDA0100: line 1 col 26 (at pos
Note: The AYPURDA0100 table contents are displayed in HANA Studio. However when a view was created with NO join conditions for the same table with few selected fields including measures, the display data is not working.
Your views are greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance

Cube does not get refreshed after maitainence

Hi
I have a cube in a schema that was existing.
I have added new data to the fact table that is mapped to the cube.
I maintained the cube by using the complete refresh option in the analytical workspace manager.
After maintaining the cube and selecting from the cube view I do not see the new data that I have added.
I have even tried dropping and recreating the cube but still it does not work.
I have also tried adding the clean step for all measures and yet it does not work.
Creating the cube with a different view name is a solution but that is not what I want. I want to be able to refresh the same view.
Please advise / suggest
Edited by: CelestialCitizen on Sep 4, 2011 9:53 PM

Hi All
The above is a false alarm.
Basically it turned out that one of the keys in the fact table was not a leaf node in the dimension.
After rectifying that all works fine now.

In need help: Analytic Report with Group by

Good morning,
I am trying to create a report with subtotal and grand total, which of couse goes to the group by clause, with rollup, cube, grouping... etc. I'd like to use rollup, then some columns in the Select list have to be put into the Group By clause, which is not supposed to be. So I had to use one of SUM, AVG, MIN and MAX functions, to make those columns as *aggregated, which is wrong.
Another alternative I tried is to use Cube and Grouping_id to be the filter. However, that is still very cumbentsome and error-prone, also the order of the display is absolutely out of control.
I am trying hard to stick to the first option of using the Rollup, since the result is very close to what I want, but avoid the usage of aggregation functions. For example, if I want to display column A, which should not be grouped. Other than using those aggregation functions, what I can do?
Thanks in advance.

Luc,
this is a simple and a good reference for analytic functions:
http://www.orafaq.com/node/55
It takes some time to understand how they work and also it takes some time to understand how to utilize them. I have solved some issues in reporting using them, avoiding the overkill of aggregates.

Help! Ent - 06955 "Cube name does not exist in OLAP schema"

I get this error when I try to view data from a cube or dimension.
From what I've searched, I have to deploy the objects to catalog, which I have done, but still I get the error. I'm stuck with this for 1 and half days...
Any ideas?
Regards,
M.

Hi,
I have found some interseting info for you from this forum:
This is more of an OWB question rather than OLAP specific. But there are some steps you must perform with OWB before you can view the data.
1) Design the dimension - create the levels, hierarchies and attributes
2) Storage mode - decide if you want to create a ROLAP or MOLAP dimension
3) Deploy the dimension - if you opted for a ROLAP model this will create a table and a dimension object to be used by the optimiser for query rewrite. If you opted for MOLAP this will create an analytic workspace (you should see a table called AW$xxxxxxx in your target schema) and within that AW will be your dimension.
4) Populate dimension - before you view data you must create a mapping to move data from your source table into the target dimension. Then you must deploy the mapping and finally execute the mapping to load data into the dimension.
I would check your deployment log as I suspect you have some errors during deployment and the object has not been deployed. Personally, I find the best way to deploy objects is via Control Center rather than using the right mouse click menu options in Design Center.

Next question - do you have all the required patchsets in place to support OLAP? If you are using 10gR2 (which you really should be when using OLAP) you will need 10..2.0.3 + OLAP A patch or 10.2.0.4.
Hope this info. will help you.
