ASO cube - dimension order

Hello All,
Is there any optimal way to ararnge dimensions in an ASO cube? I have a couple of dimensions specified as 'Dynamic' while remaining dimensions as stored.
Please direct me to documentation(, if any), if possible.
Thank you.

How to add a new dimension in ASO cube without losing all data

Hi,
I have an ASO cube with 18 dimensions and I want to add a new one (regular). When I add this new dimension it asked me that the all data has to cleared before the restructure can take place. If I click yes then I would lose all data regardless of the fact if I have a level0 export or not. Because when I tried to reload the export back into the cube it gave me an error cause all the dimensions were not present in the export. Does anyone know how would I be able to accomplish this task?
Thanks

You can try this work around solution.
1) Export Lev0 data
2) Clear the cube
3) Add new dimension Regular.
4) Add a default member Reg00 in the new dimension and save.
5) Open the Lev0 data in a text editor, Insert "Reg00" in the begining of the file and Enter.
6) Lev0 file will have first record "Reg00" and the remaining export file will be from the second record.
7) Load the modified file with out rule file.
You can verify that all your history data will be loaded w.r.to the Reg00 of the New dimension Regular.

Error While Building Attribute Dimension in ASO Cube

Hi all,
Cuurently I'm trying to bulit an ASO application in Oracle EPM 11.1.1.3
When I'm building an attribute dimension "QSize" in ASO cube ,I'm Getting some Warnings
I'm using Flat file as my source AND MY RULE FILE IS
GEN2,QSIZE, ALIAS2,QSIZE
1, ">100"
2, "100-249"
3, "250-499"
4, "500-1000"
5, "<1000"
I VALIDATED THE RULE FILES,
when i try to load the data into the essbase,Its giving me a warning stating that
Record #1 - Incorrect Syntax For Member <100 (3305)
*1 "<100"*
and i don't see the alias name for member 1
I came know that Essbase doesn't allow ">" character at the beginning of Dimension Or Member Name
Please let me know if there is Any other way,where I can Assign the alias "<100"
Thx in Advance

RSG

Could you get away with an underscore? I think that works. You will have _<100 which is not ideal but might be worth a try.
Failing that, go with GT and LT. <--This is incredibly lame, but sometimes users go for the "computer is too stupid" answer. Which in this case, is sort of true.

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

Performance Tuning Data Load for ASO cube

Hi,
Anyone can help how to fine tune data load on ASO cube.
We have ASO cube which load around 110 million records from a total of 20 data files.
18 of the data files has 4 million records each and the last two has around 18 million records.
On average, to load 4 million records it took 130 seconds.
The data file has 157 data column representing period dimension.
With BSO cube, sorting the data file normally help. But with ASO, it does not seem to have
any impact. Any suggestion how to improve the data load performance for ASO cube?
Thanks,
Lian

Yes TimG it sure looks identical - except for the last BSO reference.
Well nevermind as long as those that count remember where the words come from.
To the Original Poster and to 960127 (come on create a profile already will you?):
The sort order WILL matter IF you are using a compression dimension. In this case the compression dimension acts just like a BSO Dense dimension. If you load part of it in one record then when the next record comes along it has to be added to the already existing part. The ASO "load buffer" is really a file named <dbname.dat> that is built in your temp tablespace.
The most recent x records that can fit in the ASO cache are still retained on the disk drive in the cache. So if the record is still there it will not have to be reread from the disk drive. So you could (instead of sorting) create an ASO cache as large as your final dat file. Then the record would already still be on the disk.
BUT WAIT BEFORE YOU GO RAISING YOUR ASO CACHE. All operating systems use memory mapped IO therefore even if it is not in the cache it will likely still be in on the disk in "Standby" memory (the dark blue memory as seen in Resource Monitor) this will continue until the system runs out of "Free" memory (light blue in resource monitor).
So in conclusion if your system still has Free memory there is no need (in a data load) to increase your ASO cache. And if you are out of Free memory then all you will do is slow down the other applications running on your system by increasing ASO Cache during a data load - so don't do it.
Finally, if you have enough memory so that the entire data file fits in StandBY + Free memory then don't bother to sort it first. But if you do not have enough then sort it.
Of course you have 20 data files so I hope that you do not have compression members spread out amongst these files!!!
Finally, you did not say if you were using parallel load threads. If you need to have 20 files read up on having parrallel load buffers and parallel load scripts. that will make it faster.
But if you do not really need 20 files and just broke them up to load parallel then create one single file and raise your DLTHREADSPREPARE and DLTHREADSWRITE settings. Heck these will help even if you do go parallel and really help if you don't but still keep 20 separate files.

Can we upload data in ASO Cube version 11.1.2

Hi,
I have a requirement where in ASO cube users need the ability to enter their plan data into the ASO application. Do we need to create Transparent Partition for that. I have an ASO and Hyperion Planning cube and in my Planning cube I have more number of dimensions as compare to ASO.
Please advise
Thanks in advance.

If you are using the Excel add-in you do NOT do a lock, just a send. The lock is a BSO concept to put a hold on blocks. ASO has no blocks to lock. From smartview you do a submit and it handles it all for you. The beauty of using ASO is exactly what you mention, results are immediate without a calc.

Data Write to ASO cube

Hi,
Please help.
Case like that;
Base member of Period in Planning is Month as calendar, but Base member of Period in ASO cube is Week, like that:
Jan
    JanWeek1
    JanWeek2
    JanWeek3
    JanWeek4
    JanWeek5
now, need to load planning data to ASO cube as reporting.
but seems cannot directly load data from Jan in Planning to Jan in ASO cube, since Jan in ASO cube is a parent member. am i correct? what i tested in smartview is as that.
so is there any better way to do that?
Thank you.

You can go ahead with the approach of what VBajaj has said.
We have a similar process where our Plan data is 1 level higher than ASO (i., level1 of ASO is level0 of plan for most of the dimensions). So, we have created the level1 as level0 in ASO ending with _Plan and then loaded the data for those members.
From a data loading standpoint, you can just put suffix in the rule file itself.

Error while deploying ASO cube

Hi,
i always got the following errors while deploying an ASO cube, the dimensions are from EPMA, even the cube deployed completely, the log file is always show the same message as when the deploy failed.
I really don't understand, because there is no attribute for BALANCE SHEET accounts.
Can you help? really emergency.
Thank you so much.

Having a dimension called "Period" and having a dimension with dimension class Period are different.
If possible try extract the metadata of the application and see whether that is tagged as a "Generic" dimension.
I've the same problem described here Shared Accounts Dimension in EPMA is Deployed Without the "Accounts" Dimension Tag in ASO Application (Doc ID 1556499.1) in 11.1.2.3, where my Dimensions are a copy of Planning app.

EPMA 11.1.2.1 - All rights suddenly grayed out after deploying ASO cube.

I created and successfully deployed an ASO Cube using EPMA (11.1.2.1). The next day, all rights to the ASO cube were grayed out in Application Library (i.e. Deploy option was grayed out). We learned from Oracle Support that you need to explicitly provision the creator with Application Manager rights to the cube, even if you are the creator of the application. This
behavior for ASO (and probably BSO cubes) is consistent when compared to a Planning Application (creator is automatically provisioned). Oracle Support confirmed that this is the correct behavior and that EPMA is functioning as designed.

Are you saying that if you add the attributes manually in application it is coming to essbase and the ones in shared dimension are not coming.
Check whether attribute is inherited or defined at application level.

Count based on the UDA's in ASO cube

In product dimension I have UDA's like MDW, NEW in all level 0 members. I would like to get the count of all MDW's and put that in an account A and count of all NEW's and put it in account B. Please help this MDX query.
I tried this ..but not sure how SKCOMPMCount will get reset every time. ALso I want to get it for all children
case when [Location].CurrentMember = [SKUCountComp] and IsLevel(Date.CurrentMember, 0) and IsLevel(Product.CurrentMember, 1)
then
IIF(IsUda(firstchild(Product.CurrentMember),"MDW"),SKCOMPMCount+1,SKCOMPMCount)
end
I am using Essbase 9.2.0 and this is a ASO cube

I have had one such requirment in past project and I made the changes in PCR X011. Actully I copied it into Z011 and then made the changes. You can also use the processing class 47. If you will take a look at this PCR you will understand how you can use it.
We dont have anything in the standard to fulfill this requirment.
I hope this helps.

Essbase ASO Cube query performance from OBI EE

Hi all
I have serious problems of performance when I query an ASO cube from OBI EE. The problem born when I implement a filter in some dimension of model in the Business Model and Mapping layer. This filter is to level-0 of the dimension, the values are obtained from a session variable in OBI EE. The objetive of this is apply filters depending of users. Then, for session variable I've a table in relational dabase base with relation between user and "access", then my dimensions (not all) have as level-0 the "access" of users (as duplicated members).
The session variable in OBI EE is filled with row-wise option, so it has all values of "access" that correspond to user (:USER system variabe).
When I query only by one of this filtered dimensions the respond is very fast, When I query for one of this filtered dimensions and a metric the respond is fast (10 seconds). But when I query for two of this filtered dimensions and metric the respond take 25 minutes. I checked Essbase app log and found this:
+[Mon Nov 15 19:56:01 2010]Local/TestSec5/TestSec5/admin/Info(1013091)+
+Received Command [MdxReport] from user [admin]+
+[Mon Nov 15 20:28:28 2010]Local/TestSec5/TestSec5/admin/Info(1260039)+
MaxL DML Execution Elapsed Time : [1947.18] seconds
When I look the MDX query generated by OBI I see that the aggregation process is doing in the fly in the members filtered of the crossjoin of two dimensions:
With

Can somebody tell me if is possible to change the way in that OBI built the query or if is possible to use aggregations previously materialized of essbase?

hi Amol,
1. On what basis , did you estimate your cube to around 400GB to 600GB.
2. If ASO is an option, its huge advantage lies in space, its does not take more space , unlike BSO.
3. I have seen cubes ,who size was around 300-400GB in BSO,when made the same cube into ASO , its consumed space of 40GB-45GB.
HOpe this helps

ASO cube aggregation behavior

Hi All,
We have an ASO cubes with millions of records having 10 dimensions (1 Account dimension).Few facts values are getting changed after aggregation where without aggregation, we are getting correct values.
We are loading data from source system (Teradata) where we have rounded off values till 7 places of decimal. But when we see data at report level (WA) it displays non zero values after 7 places of decimal for few facts.
For us it is making a huge difference as we are calculating var% value on report. The denominator value for this var% which is 0 for certain line items but due to aggregation its showing some value (0.0000000198547587458) which result very large values for var%.
Is it the tool behavior or there is some problem with aggregation?
Any input will be really appreciable.
Thanks,

What doesn't make sense to me is you don't need aggregations on level zero members as that is where the data is stored. I'm guessing oyu mean level sero members of one dimension and higher level members of other dimensions. Are those other dimensions dynamic or stored? Do you have a lot of calculations going on that are being retrieved? Have you materalized aggregations on the cube?

Unable to create ASO cube with 120 attributes in Essbase

Hi All,
Currently we have requirement to build the ASO cube contains 6 hierachies and they wants to include all the columns of three relational tables.So,I adding all the columns as attributes to three of each hierarchies because they are all descriptive of each dimension.
Now when I am trying build individually its wroking fine,When I am combining its throws an error "Network Error.Cannot close the cube".I seen in Essbase limitations that it will allow upto 256 dimensions however in my scenerio it is not accepting even 140(including all).
Can some one assist is there any possible solution to build the cube.
For your reference
Using Essbase studio tool to deploy cube in Admin console
Windows environment and SQL Server 2005 database
Thanks in Advance

"D:\ Huperion\Analytics\Bin\libdb42.dll"
Is that a typo or is your path "Huperion" instead of "Hyperion"?
I could see where that might cause a problem.

Problem working on member formulas in ASO cube

Hi
I was asked to convert a planning application BSO cubes into a single ASO cube.I have managed to convert one BSO Cube into ASO through EAS console and added the members in the other BSO cube throgh rulesfile.
Now i have to write the member formulas for the level0 members of Account dimension.These are very simple formulas like
if(@ISMBR("New_Seats"))
"Assets Value"="Total Asset Cost";
else
"Assets Value"="Asset_Value";
endif;
and
"Empty_Seats"=(("New Seat Additions"+"Available_Seats")-"Required_Seats");
This is the first time i am working on ASO.I am getting this error while writing these formulas
"Error(1260052) syntax error in input mdx query on line 1 at token '=' Empty_Seats..."
Help me in writing these formulas and also in selecting proper member properties.

The hierarchy is like
Account(gen1)
-> Statistical_Account(gen2)
->New Seat Additions(gen3)
I have tried tthis and the formula is verified successfully
*([Statistical_Account].[New Seat Additions]+[Statistical_Account].[Available_Seats])-([Statistical_Account].[Required_Seats])*
if i use *([New Seat Additions]+[Available_Seats])-[Required_Seats]* it is not veryfying throwing some syntax error
Thanks

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.
