BO 4.0 Advanced Analysis for OLAP - The MDAS service encountered an error.

Hi guru's,
We are running BO 4.0 SP02 Patch 11 with SAP BW 7 and experiencing the following error with Advanced Analysis for OLAP:
"Analysis edition for OLAP
The MDAS service encountered an error."
After you click show details:
"com.crystaldecisions.thirdparty.org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL  minor code: 0x0  completed: No"
I have researched into this and found forums such as:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2053481
SAP KB 1560100 - BI4.0 Advanced Analysis Web problem: The MDAS Service encountered an error
SAP KB 1661163 - An error is generated when selecting a query or cube in Analysis for OLAP: Error 15
However, none of these have helped our situation too much.
We have rebuilt the windows server 2008 R2 recently, hence the process we followed was a fresh install of BO 4.0 SP02 platform & tools, and then patch 11 on top of these.
Crystal, WEBI's (using the same BICS connections as the AA's) and Dashboards are all working as per expected.
The errors are for every AA including ones with only 2 variable selections (light queries) to ones with many more. Hence it is platform wide for Advanced Analysis.
I have also tried creating new AA using existing BICS, new BICS existing AA, new BICS new AA all with no luck.
We have also created new Adaptive Processing Servers with only the MDAS as a common service, turned on tracing etc but nothing springs to us as to what is going wrong.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks all,

Hi All,
After conversing with SAP support technicians we have found what is causing this issue.
On the windows servers we have the following installed locally:
- BO platform 4.0 SP02
- BO platform 4.0 SP02 patch 11
- BO client tools 4.0 SP02
- BO client tools 4.0 SP02 patch 11
- Crystal reports 2011 SP02
- Crystal reports 2011 SP02 patch 11
- Crystal reports for Ent SP02
- Crystal reports for Ent SP02 patch 11
It seems that the crystal reports 2011 or cr for Ent was causing an issue in the .WAR files that BOE uses to run Advanced Analysis for OLAP.
After uninstalling the two crystal products and removing any left over cr files in program files on the server, AA for OLAP works successfully in our environment.
The other point after this was i stopped the tomcat and SIA, i renamed the BOE folder under <install dir>\SAP BO4.0\Tomcat6\webapps and restarted the tomcat and then the SIA. In 4.0 when the tomcat is started again it will go and recreate the BOE folder from the BO directories effectively recreating the apps .WAR files under the webapps\BOE folder.
SAP will hopefully document this issue for other clients.
Cheers,

  • The MDAS service encountered an error.

    Hi Experts,
    I have a BEx Query. On this I have created an Analysis Work Space in BO. I have one system for both (Dev & QA) in BO.
    The Analysis Work Space query is executing without error in BO Dev, but it is throwing below error for QA query:

  • YTD calculation from BEx is not working in Advance Analysis for OLAP/OR Office

    I have AA for OLAP based on BEx. There are YTD calculation in BEx Designer: User enters Period in variable, and in user exits, the Period Range is populated as "1 ~ UserEnteredValue" in second variable. In BEx, YTD is calculated based on the Restrictive KF for the period range, calculated in User Exit. This is working fine in BEx Analyzer, however in Advance Analysis (for OLAP OR in Ofice), the YTD value is not coming up they way it is in BEx Analyzer...
    Anybody has any clue, why??
    Thanking all of you in advance  

    Hello Sharma
    If something is working for BEx Analyzer but not for Analysis OLAP or Analysis Office then this typically (but not always) indicates an issue with the BICS (BI Consumer Services) component.
    I would suggest you contact support about this so the appropriate logs can be captured and the issue investigated by the BICS team.

  • While doing risk analysis for profiles the web service is taking 20 minutes

    Hi All
    Iam using SAP GRC 5.2 ( As per clients requirement)
    Iam using  VirsaCCRiskAnalysisService web service
    For roles it is working fine
    But when iam doing risk analysis for profiles( S_A.DEVELOP and  S_CUS_CMP)  it is taking upto 20 minutes to give results back
    Is there any way in which we can reduce the time taken to fetch the results
    Thanks

    Hello Mph,
    This is mainly bcz these profiles are a bit heavy and have huge number of authorizations in each of them. Also since these are critical, these would be having a large number of risks which explains the reason for the delay.
    Now, besides what Harleen mentioned, what I would also recommend to you is to check the number of threads etc in the config you have done. These are the parameters which you can often change and update as per your requirements and have a great impact on the performance as well, without the need to deploy extra hardware, which is usually a pain for most organizations.

  • Time-dependent BW hierarchies in Analysis for OLAP

    Hi all,
    We are using time-dependent hierarchies in combination with a key date variable.
    Tools used: Query designer based on SAP BW 7.4 and BO 4.0.
    The following steps are executed:
    Report is executed and key date is prompted
    According to the key date, the correct time-dependent organisation hierarchy will be used in drill-down
    Bring up variable screen again and select different key date
    The drill-down changes according to the now correct time-dependent organisation hierarchy
    The above scenario works for BEx Analyzer, BEx Web, Analysis for Office - but not for Analysis for OLAP.
    Whenever I run through this scenario and confirm the updated key date, the following error is displayed:
    cube.get.dimension.info.runtime.error : java.lang.IllegalStateException: There is no default hierarchy for dimension [ORG].
    In the user guide I don't find any specifics about the hierarchies and since it works in all the other applications, I wonder where the error is coming from. I also could not find it anywhere else in the forum.
    Has anyone experienced the same error or any suggestions?

  • BEx formula change not working in existing Analysis for Olap/Analysis for Excel reports

    Hello all,
    I posted this in Analysis for OLAP, but there has been no response so I'm hoping perhaps you BEx experts can help me.
    I had to modify a formula in a Bex query to have it calculate the results of the formula by summation.
    I checked the query using BEx Analyzer and it summed correctly.  If I create a new analysis for olap report, it sums correctly.
    If I modify an existing report, it does not pick up the change.  Existing Analysis for Excel reports also do not pick up the new summary calculation.
    Using the CMC, I edited the connection and reselected the Bex query, but that did not work either.
    Here it is working in the query:
    Line Discount is a formula with logic checking to see if "product list price total amount" is 0, set the line discount to 0; otherwise calculate it as "product list price total amount" - Net Sale.  So the total needs to sum of the line discounts (0+2820+2820 = 5640) and not be the Overall result "product list price total amount" - Overall Result "net sale" (13960-96720= -82760).
    Here it is in an existing Webi report - working:
    Here is what is happening in an existing Analysis for OLAP report - not working:
    I also tried to unselect Line Discount as a key figure from the existing report and reselect it, but that did not work.
    I'd like to find a solution so that all the reports that use this query won't have to be rewritten.
    I'm on BW 7.0 EP 1 SP 10 and BI 4.0 SP7 Patch 5.
    Thank you for your help,
    Susan

    Hi,
    Apply Exception aggregation on line discount formula--Exception aggregation as Total---Reference characteristic as Promega product.
    Make sure to refresh the webi report once after the changes has been done.
    If this does not work then you can apply summation calculation for that column at webi level as well.

  • Dynamic Description in Analysis for OLAP

    hi.
    I am trying to create an application in Analysis for OLAP where I am trying to populate the Dynamic description based on the value entered by the user.
    It works in Bex queries, however I don't see the description populated when I create a analysis for OLAP report over the same Bex query. in fact I dont see the description of any bex query. is it not possible? I am using BO 4.1
    Regards,
    Mahesh

    Hi Kathi,
    finally we solved the porblem. i guess you are working with IE 8.0?
    *if so, add the BO-Server (http://server.com) to your lokal intranet sites (inside the IE 8.0).
    *also check document mode in IE 8.0 is set to Quirks Mode (under ''Tool/Developer Tool'') when opening the analyis olap report
    then it should work.

  • Size Limit of Result Set Exceeded in Advanced Analysis for Excel

    I am getting a "Size Limit of Result Set Exceeded" error when performing a drill-down in Advanced Analysis for Excel.  Is the limit 65,000 rows in Excel?  I was able to get a drill-down of 39,000 rows to work, but failed when I exceeded 60,000 rows.
    I am using Advanced Analysis for Excel v1 SP5 and Excel 2007.
    Thanks.

    Hi Everyone;
    I am running advanced analysis reports on HANA as datasource and I am getting the message Size Limit of Result Set Exceeded whenever I have a larger output. I have noticed that in the admin guide and in other SCN posts about this setting in Windows Registry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\AdvancedAnalysis\Settings\DataSource]
    "ShowBicsSample"="True"
    "ResultSetSizeLimit"="-1"
    But I am having hard time finding this setting in my windows registry; can someone help me understand why I don't have it in my registry? and how to find it and change this setting?
    FYI...I am using Office 2010.

  • Jumplink to Analysis for OLAP

    Hello All,
    It is possible (I guess no) to create a jumplink to another Analysis for OLAP.
    If not possible, is it a planned enhancement ?
    Thanks for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Bertrand

    Hello Bertrand
    The link Tammy posted is the right direction but it is not the complete answer. To link from one AOLAP workspace to another AOLAP workspace requires the use of RRI and OpenDocument. AOLAP is an RRI sender, but not an RRI receiver.
    First use RSBBS to define an RRI link on the query being used by the source AOLAP workspace. This RRI link will be to a URL sender.
    The URL sender then contains the OpenDocument URL link to the destination AOLAP workspace. You find this URL in the BI Launchpad by navigating the folders to the AOLAP workspace, right-click on it and choose "Document Link". Copy the displayed URL into the definition of the RRI URL Sender.
    You can also pass context from the source AOLAP workspace as a value to a prompt variable in the destination AOLAP workspace.
    The two screenshots below show this.... but the second screenshot is most relevent. This shows a parameter being hard-coded but you can also pass context dynamically.

  • Analysis for OLAP - HANA - Performance Issue

    Hi Experts,
    i have a performance issue using Analysis OLAP on HANA view: when i drag a dimension in the background section, is necessary to wait a lot of time and usually BI goes in error with timeout message.  
    The BI release is 4.1 SP4 and HANA is in SP7.
    Thanks.
    Andrea

    Hi Andrea,
    That's a bit odd. How big is that dimension? As you know, when you add a dimension to the background it automatically opens the member selector allowing you to pick the appropriate members.
    The member selector can be tuned by changing the properties of the MDAS service. If you look at section 7.7.1 in the Admin guide entitled "Maximum number of members returned when filtering", you'll see how to reduce the number of members returned. This may help with your issue.

    This happens because an app has already been deployed and you are deploying it again using the same version.
    Resolution:

  • Get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | fl gives errors "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for". DB is mounted and the DB copies are in healthy status.

    We are getting a SCOM alert " Database copy isn''''t keeping up with the changes on the active database copy and has failed."
    When we go to the mailbox server and check we found all the Mailbox DB's are mounted properly and their copies are in healthy state. Further digging to this problem we found that there are no critical events to this DB in the eventviewer.
    When we runt he get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | Fl then in the ErrorMessage section we get error "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for . If the copy doesn't
    recover automatically, administrator intervention may be necessary. Error: The directory is not empty."
    ErrorEventID : 4126
    In the event viewer we get a Information event 4114 saying the DB redundancy health check passed and in the details section we get the same error message mentioned above.
    Also we observed that the "MSExchange Replication" counter "Failed" is set to 1 for this perticular DB but is is set to 0 for the other DB's. Tried restarting the MSEXChange replication service but still the "Failed" counter
    is 1 and the SCOM alert is still active.
    The version is Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5
    Any clues???

    Hi,
    From your description, this issue only affect one mailbox datatabase.
    Please use the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command to check result.
    If it doesn't work, please dismount your active database copy and check if this is Clean Shutdown, if it's dirty shutdown, please bring to clean shutdown and mount this database copy. Then run the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command again to check result.
