Build essbase cube using Sql query.....

Hi Team, Can we build dimensions as well as load data into essbase cubes using sql query generated from cognos cube. If so , please guide me the procedure

I'm not sure about cognos, if you can create an ODBC connection you can try using that in SQL load rules and see if that works.

Reg: Building Essbase dimension using SQL in rule file

Hi,
We are using Essbase 11.1.2.2. I am trying to build a dimension in a cube using SQL query in the rule file, but i am not able to do it.
I am not able to establish connection to database. Can anyone please give a step by step process to do this.

If you really, really, really want to do this --- and by that I mean really get rid of everything in a dimension, create a dummy file with a single child. That single child should have a name that could never exist in your system. Something like "Forty-seven ginger headed sailors". Then set the Dimension Build Settings Member Update to "Remove Unspecified". Run the dim build -- it will clear out all of the dimension.
Then take your other dim build rule file and use the same Remove Unspecified setting. That will get rid of the silly member. The source can be a file or SQL.
Ta da, you have now cleared out the dim, added a single silly member, cleared out the dim again, and loaded the right members into it.
There may be a better way to do the above, but I have done exactly that and it works.

How to query a cube using SQL ?

Hi I have a MOLAP cube say CubeA with dimensionA having Attribute A1 and dimensionB having attribute B1
the measure of cube is M1.
Any idea how i can query the cube using SQL dislaying both the dimensions with the measure interlinking them.
I just need a general overview of how to sql query a cube .. I have the dimensions and sttributes and name of the cube but i ineed to know how to query it... I was given an example
SELECT
t.time_long_description,
p.product_long_description,
c.customer_long_description,
f.sales,
f.sales_ytd
FROM
time_calendar_view t,
product_std_view p,
customer_std_view c,
sales_cube c
WHERE
t.dim_key = f.time
AND p.dim_key = f.product
AND c.dim_key = f.customer
AND t.level_name = 'CALENDAR QUARTER'
AND p.level_name = 'BRAND'
AND c.level_name = 'STATE';
but i cant understand it.. i cant figure out what are the dimensions and where are the attributes...
Any idea would great...

There's a nice tutorial here: http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/11g/r1/olap/cube/querycubes.htm
Here are a few basics. Note that the link between the dimensions is the join between the dimension or hierarchy views and the cube.
* The primary key to every dimension and hierarchy view is DIM_KEY.
* The primary key to the fact table is dim1, dim2, dim3, so all joins are between dim_keys and dim1, dim2, etc.
* Dimension, hierarchy and cube views contain rows for both leaf (detail) and summary rows (that means cubes can return very, very large numbers of rows is you aren't careful)
* You typically want to query for the aggregate level data rather than use SUM ... GROUP BY. Let the cube do the work and let it manage calculations.
* Dimension views contain rows for all dimension member. hierarchy views contain rows for only members of the hierarchy.
* You typically select one of the long or short description columns to display data within an application.
Here's a commented version of your query:
SELECT
t.time_long_description, -- long descriptions
p.product_long_description,
c.customer_long_description,
f.sales, --measures
f.sales_ytd
FROM
time_calendar_view t, --hierarchy views
product_std_view p,
customer_std_view c,
sales_cube c --cube view
WHERE
t.dim_key = f.time ; -- joins between hierarchy and cube views
AND p.dim_key = f.product
AND c.dim_key = f.customer
AND t.level_name = 'CALENDAR QUARTER' -- Filters to ask for data at the quarter
AND p.level_name = 'BRAND' -- brand
AND c.level_name = 'STATE'; -- and state levels.
You want to have a filter on every dimension to avoid return all rows in the fact table for that dimension (remember, the cube contains summary rows). If you want to drop a dimension from a query (e.g., you don't want product in the query, intending for the query to be the aggregate of all products), filter to an all/total level.
e.g.,
and p.level_name = 'ALL PRODUCTS'
or
and p.long_description = 'All Products'
There are many variation of this query, but if you understand the basics you'll work your way there.
And, never do a select count(*) from a cube. Doing so will select the entire cube, detail and summary data.

Error extracting data from essbase cube using MDX method

Hi,
We have some problems extracting data from essbase cube using MDX method, we believe that the problem is the MDX query, this is the problem and query:
ERROR:
[DwgCmdExecutionThread]: Cannot perform cube view operation. Analytic Server Error(1260046): Unknown Member SELECTNON used in query
com.hyperion.odi.essbase.ODIEssbaseException: Cannot perform cube view operation. Analytic Server Error(1260046): Unknown Member SELECTNON used in query
at com.hyperion.odi.essbase.wrapper.EssbaseMdxDataIterator.init(Unknown Source)
MDX:
SELECT
NON EMPTY {[YearTotal].[Jan]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {[Total Movimientos].[Presupuesto Base]} ON AXIS(1),
NON EMPTY {[Año].[FY11]} ON AXIS(2),
NON EMPTY {[Escenario].[Presupuesto_1]} ON AXIS(3),
NON EMPTY {[Version].[Trabajo]} ON AXIS(4),
NON EMPTY {[Moneda].[Moneda Input]} ON AXIS(5),
NON EMPTY {[Centros de Costo].[1101]} ON AXIS(6),
NON EMPTY {Descendants([Resultado Operacional],4)} ON AXIS(7)
FROM [DSR02].[ROP]
We try extract data using a sample cube and work fine, this is the mdx query:
SELECT
{[Actual],[Budget]} ON COLUMNS,
{[Sales]} ON ROWS,
NON EMPTY {[Product].levels(0).members} ON PAGES,
NON EMPTY {[East].levels(0).members} ON AXIS(3),
NON EMPTY {[Year].levels(0).members} ON AXIS(4)
FROM Sample.Basic
The model reversed ([DSR02].[ROP]) have the same structure than query need, the query and the model are fine, definitely we can´t see the problem, someone can help us?
Regards

You will be able to test the MDX query in EAS, it is usually best to test the query first before trying to use it in ODI.
Is there any reason you are using MDX to extract the data, have you tried reportscript as I usually find it more efficient to extract the data.
Cheers

Retreving Hexadecimal Values from a table using SQL query.

Hi,
I'm looking for a query to retreive Hexadecimal values contained in a column using SQL query.
The column contains the values of all types, alphanumeric, numeric and hexadecimal.
I need to retreive only hexadecimal values.
any help to me in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks

Presumably, you can be sure that any valid hex value is indeed MEANT to BE a hex value. For example the value 'ACE' is meant to be a hexadecimal value and not the word.

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

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 numberformat when using sql:query alogn with c:forEach JSTL tags

Is there anyway to format the numeric values returned from the database when using <sql:query> alogn with <c:forEach> tags
Here is my jsp code
<sql:query..../>
<c:forEach var="row" items="${queryResults.rows}">
<tr>
<td><c:out value="${row.COL1}" /></td>
<td><c:out value="${row.COL2}" /></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
Col1 values are numeric without any formats Eg: 1000, 10000, 1000000 etc.
how can i format them to 1,000 , 10,1000 , 100,000 etc

It is polite to mention what your answer was. These posts are not just here for you to ask questions, but to be used as a resource for other people to find answers. Saying "I solved it" with no details helps noone.
I presume you discovered the JSTL <fmt:formatNumber> tag?
