ASO cubes and dimensional security, how???

Hi,
I'm getting my feet wet with ASO, and I'm wondering how to implement security on dimensions in a way similar to a Planning application (which is BSO only, I understand). When administering a planning application, I can apply security to specific members in dimensions, then refresh security etc, but what can I do for an ASO cube? I'm assuming that ASO cubes can be created/administered only through EAS.
I need to be able to control what groups/users can access certain members of dimensions of ASO cube, when they run reports on the cube.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
User management and security is the same either for ASO or BSO application from Essbase point of view.
You can either use Native security mode or security through shared services based on the configurations done.
Check out this link from dbag for security,

Adding commentary in ASO Cube and aggregating it to TOP Level

Hi Gurus,
I have one peculiar problem. We are adding commentary in BSO Planning cube now i have couple of problem related to it.
a) These commentary needs to be pushed in ASO cube (Reporting) which need are entered in Lower Level.
b) At top level these commentaried need to be Aggregated or rather Concatenated.
eg.
ProfitCentre has two child P1 and P2 and user enter commantary in BSO for P1 and P2 as "Market Risk Deviation" and "Standard Output"
then in the HSPgetval Smartview report the conent of report will look like:
Profit Centre          Market Risk Deviation + Standard Output
P1                        Market Risk Deviation
P2                        Standard Output.
Any thoughts/ Suggestions/ Input/ Ways to achieve so
Thanks
Anubhav

Apart from what Glenn suggested
Not out of box, you are looking at a JAVA API + SQL based solution here
Here are my thoughts
Either use a Select query and get the Text values and IDs from the tables HSP_CELL_TEXT (or HSP_TEXT_CELL) table
Create a Java API, which can import a TextList in ASO cube, ID is going to be what you get from the table
Load the data to ASO from Planning
Now for the aggregation/concatenation part, you'll have to Add those as again Smart List, This can be done by looking at HSP_CELL_TEXT (or HSP_TEXT_CELL) table, there is an ID associated with each text, get the id associated
So for example Market Risk Deviation is 1 and Standard Output Deivation is 2, then you should add Market Risk Deviation + Standard Output as 3, however you'll have to make sure that there is no entry from Planning for 3
It is complicated

Webi against OLAP Cubes and rowlevel security

Hi all
Running XI3.1, SP4. Windows
We are trying to create universes on top of OLAP cubes made in MSAS 2008, and take advantage of the rowlevel-structure that exist on the cube side.
When running a WEBI-report against the cubeuniverse, the current user logged in from InfoView should be passed to the MSAS cube. Different users will then get different results. This is our goal!!!
It works in Voyager, which runs directly at the cubes.
But is this possible, via WEBI and universes. Has anyone done this??
When creating the connection, the Authentication mode="Use SSO when refreshing the reports at runtime", looks promising.
But i get a error message, stating "DBD: Unknown error has occured when determining the ODBO connection credentials"
All inputs are appreciated
/Björn

Hi all
We have configured the BOservers with SSO, using AD-Kerberos (using Tim Ziembas whitepapers). So we are using authentication=WindowsAD.
It works perfectly for the end-users. They hit the INFOVIEW-url and they dont need no password.
The thing that we want to acheive, is to connect to MSAnalysisServer2008, with Designer. I want to create a universe on top of MSAS OLAP-cubes, and take advantage of the rowlevel-security that has been implemented in the CUBE-server.
When creating a connection in Designer using MSAS2008 OLEDB for OLAP Provider, there is the Authentication mode-dropdown. The second alternative "Use single-sign-on when refreshing..." gives the error-message "DBD: Unknown error has occured when determining the ODBO connection credentials".
I dont know if this is a bug, or if when using middleware MSAS2008 OLEDB for OLAP Provider in combination with Authentication mode="Use single-sign-on when refreshing.." it isnt supposed to work. From the Designer documentation it should work.
We have tested this for Voyager, which connects directly to the cubes. It works in Voyager. the connection "feeds" the cubesystem with the user currently logged on to InfoView, and gives the correct rowlevel-restriction.
We want to acheive the same thing with Webintelligence.

WebLogic 6.0 and NT security – HOW?

WebLogic 6.0 and NT security – HOW?
Info
- Windows NT 4.0 SP6
- WebLogic 6.0
- JDK 1.3
The WebLogic instance is running as a service under the system account, c:\bea\wlserver6.0\bin
is in the path.
We have several Primary Domain Controllers, so we made a NTRealm entry per PDC. We
rebooted the server.
Now, I would expect to see the NT users and groups in the security tab but I only
see the filerealm users and groups. Is this normal that they don’t show up?
I understand that you have to use the NT Admin tools for creating users and groups,
but I would expect to SEE them in the security tab.
We created an NT group BEA_TEST on that machine and we would like to give only members
of that group access to our application. (See files below.) It doesn’t work.
If we create a filerealm group it works fine, NTRealm not.
What are we missing here?

Merg

ASO cube

Hi
we are trying to build a cube . Cube is ASO cube and want to build cube wich has functionality of planning .But , we saw that planning creates a BSO cube and has fucntion for allocation. I want ot know how to do this in ASO cube
Jim

Hi Jim,
1. Firstly, I appreciate you work of incorporating the whole functionality of P and B in an ASO cube.
2. I would like to know your version .In version 11.1.2 , we do have allocation even for ASo cube. So, if its the new version, you have the pre defined function for you( "execute allocation")
Do update on the progress to the forum

SSaudit for ASO cubes in 11.1.1.3?

Hello Gurus -
I was wondering if anyone has been able to get the SSaudit feature working on ASO cube on version 11.1.1.3 to get the .atx and .alg file generated?
We tried but it doesn't seem to work for us. Also, the "send" activity itself doesn't seem to get captured in either apps log or essbase logs.
I was wondering if there is a workaround or especial setting we need to do for ASO.
Pls, throw some light if anyone know anything on it.
Regards

SSAudit is not supported for ASO cubes and unfortunatly neither is transaction logging.
If you need to do something like this I suggest using Dodeca which can save sends in a relational table

MDX query performance on ASO cube with dynamic members

We have an ASO cube and we are using MDX queries to extract data from that cube. We are doing some performance testing on the MDX data extract.
Recently we made around 15-20 account dimension members dynamic in the ASO cube, and it is taking around 1 and a half hour for the query to run on an empty cube. Earlier the query was running in 1 minute on the empty cube when there were no dynamic members in the cube.
Am not clear why it takes so much time to extract data from MDX on an empty cube when there is nothing to extract. The performance has also degraded while extracting data on the cube with data in it.
Does dynamic members in the outline affect the MDX performance? Is there a way to exclude dynamic members from the MDX extract?
I appreciate any insights on this issue.

I guess it depends on what the formulas of those members in the dynamic hierarchy are doing.
As an extreme example, I can write a member formula to count every unique member combination in the cube and assign it to multiple members, regardless if I have any data in the database or not, that function is going to resolve itself when you query it and it is going to take a lot of time. You are probably somewhere in between there and a simple function that doesn't require any over head. So without seeing the MDX it is hard to say what about it might be causing an issue.
As far as excluding members there are various function in MDX to narrow down the set you are querying
Filter(), Contains(), Except(), Is(), Subset(), UDA(), etc.
Keep in mind you did not make members dynamic, you made a hierarchy dynamic, that is not the same thing and it does impact the way Essbase internally optimizes the database based on Stored vs dynamic hierarchies. So that alone can have an impact as well.

ASO Cube Does not overwrite the data

Hi, I have a ASO Cube and I am loading a data using the followingtext file. While loading the text file I am using the rule filewhere I said overwrite the existing values. But it is notoverwriting the Values. I am using 7.1.5I will appreciate your suggestions. ThanksAnky Text File <table><tr height="17" style=" height: 12.75pt;"><td height="17" style=" height: 12.75pt; width: 48pt;" width="64">Jan</td><td style=" width: 48pt;" width="64">test</td><td style=" width: 48pt;" width="64">Pr1</td><td x:num="" align="right" style=" width: 48pt;" width="64">1000</td></tr><tr height="17" style=" height: 12.75pt;"><td height="17" style=" height: 12.75pt;">Jan</td><td>test</td><td>Pr1</td><td x:num="" align="right">2000</td></tr><tr height="17" style=" height: 12.75pt;"><td height="17" style=" height: 12.75pt;">Jan</td><td>test</td><td>Pr1</td><td x:num="" align="right">100000</td></tr></table> 

Hi Ankyjay. Ifound this in DBAG page 1087 this might help. When you take advantage of the aggregate storage data loadbuffer, Analytic Services sorts and works with the values after alldata sources have been read. If multiple records are encountered for any specificdata cell, the values are accumulated. Analytic Services thenstores the accumulated values.

Load rule failure in ASO cube building

Hi
I have an ASO cube and I'm trying to use a load rule to build my entire Measures dimension. Everything seemed to be working fine before, I had about 7,000 measures tagged with a particular UDA, however, now when I do the build, only about 2,200 of the members are getting tagged with the UDA, although there is no error file. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why some members are successfully getting the UDA assigned to them and some aren't. I even tried creating a new load rule and using a text file with the particular accounts, and again, it says everything was fine, but when I go back and look at the outline it's hit and miss. Any thoughts?

Hi,
I dont see any reason ,why it add UDA's for few and does not for few.
I request you to do the following
1. Check the data file
2. Check the rule file
3. and as per the definitions of the rule file ( i.e build properties, data source options ..etc.
see ,whether the data file is in harmony.

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
fikes

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.

Plannoing application and ASO cube

Hi,
To my knowledge when we create a Planning application and create the database it creates a BSO cube.
But we had a call today with Oracle and they were suggesting to use ASO cube with Planning. Is it possible to have an ASO cube for a Planning app?
next, in the same call we had with Oracle, they were suggesting to use Smartlists for an essbase ASO cube. Is it possible to have Smartlists for essbase applications. Cause smartlists are drop downs which can be used in web forms. How can we use smartlists in spread sheet? Using smartview?

Typed measures in Essbase are simular to a Smart list in Planning. You can use it both in ASO and BSO.
For additional info how to enable and work with typed measures see: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?dtypmeas.html#dtypmeas_20

Write back(Lock and Send) in Essbase(v11.1.1.3) ASO cube?

Hi All,
can you please let me know if I can do a 'lock and send' in ASO cube throug Excel Add-in ? I have Essabse version 11.1.1.3. If yes, please let know if need to do any special setting.
Cheers!
Raj

Hi John,
I am working on an issue where a MaxL is closing and killing connections to an application and it's database before it Stops Application inorder to flip it into a working database. Frequently, the process fails at the Stop Application and were advise that we need an ulock objects statement. Are the locks and locked objects different? I can understand why there aren't locks on an ASO and I can see locked objects on an ASO when the outline is checked out. How else can an ASO have locked objects? I am updating the Maxl to include disables on connections, updates, and commands and to unlock objects against the database.
Now I need to test this and am wondering how to provoke a locked object on an ASO cube?

Doubt Reg How to implement MDX formula in ASO Cube

We are using Essbase 7x for implementing ASO application, We are struck in implementing MDX formuls in Accounts dimension members. As per the requirement
We have to calculate
Cost Per kilo[Total shipment Cost]/[Billed Weight]
Fuel Surcharge cost per kilo[Fuel Surcharge cost]/[Billed weight]
Need to implement these formula's for the mentioned Accounts members. As we are new to this concept plz let me know if
we wrote these in MDX editor and how to link these to the particulr mrmber in the dimension.please help me out in implementing these formula's

Hi,
1. For ASO cubes also, you can have forumulas on your cube's outline individual members.
2. If the dimension is "accounts" you can write MDX forumulas on the members of the accounts dimension
3. The two members 'cost per kilo' and 'fuel surcharge cost per kilo' and their respective forumulas are Total shipment Cost/Billed Weight and Fuel Surcharge cost/Billed weight.
4. If you have the members like Total shipment Cost,Billed Weight and Fuel Surcharge cost, create 2 account members for which you need to write formulas , then go to 'formula' tab of these members and write a simple division formula.For ASO cubes, no need to end them with semi colon.
One can use MDX editor to write down queries and extract data too, i.e queries . More of it can be found in the DBAG .
