Convert Formula from BSO to ASO

"Rate"=(1-@POWER ((1-("Total Net Surrender Amt"->"JAN"/(@mdSHIFT("ACCOUNT_VALUE",-1,"Years",,11,"Periods",)))),(12/1))) ;

In another thread I showed you how to convert a similar formula. While 'm happy to help, you could either extrapolate from the other example or bring in someone to help you convert all your formulas. I and others make our living doing this type of thing. I really don't want to convert all your formulas one by one

Sign changing to - when converted from BSO to ASO

HI Guys ,
when I change ab BSO app to an ASO the default + operator is changing to - ,how do I deal with this problem .
Thanks

Hi,
We experienced the same problem with Essbase 9.3.1.2.
The workaround we used was to use the outline extractor on both the BSO and ASO outlines and then compare the text files to catch the differences and manually fix them. It took some time but we got the outlines in sync.
Outline extractor is a freeware from Applied OLAP http://www.appliedolap.com/default.asp?ID=22

Building BSO using ASO Rules file

Hi All,
We are building a new application where in we want to have both ASO and BSO. Eventually we wanted to do partition between these two cubes.
We already have a fully functional ASO with data loaded into it. This ASO also has bunch of rules files using which the ASO cube was built.
We need to build a new BSO and it should have same outline as ASO and in order to achieve this as used the same rules file that are in ASO. I already built the BSO usinng ASO rules files
My issue is with the dimension which are deifned as Multiplw Heirarchy and I would appreciate if some one can help me how do i define them in BSO. Also if some one canhelp me understand what are additional changes that needs to be taken care when I am building BSO using ASO rules files
I am trying to apply a caluclation which is in ASO and I am getting following error -- Error(1200337) - Error compiling formula for [Feb YTD] (line 1): [)] without [(]. As part of my research i found that error code is very generic. I checked the caluclation for missing ) or ( but everything looks good
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Your ASO formulas will not work in BSO cube. ASO uses MDX formulas and BSO uses Essbase calc script language. There is a guide in the technical reference that helps convert from one to the other.
As far as multiple hierarchies, BSO does not have this concept. You should be able to load the hierarchies as is with perhaps a few changes to the load rule to address how to handle shared members.
You will not have a direct one to one from BSO to ASO. They are a different architecture and as such have variances that are not 1 to 1 compatible.

Data transfer from planning to ASO.

Hi,
Like that:
Data load in Planning, and data retrieve in ASO. And we want a real time data transfer from Planning to ASO.
Transparent partition from BSO to ASO is a choice, but the performance is an issue.
If we user replicated partition, data cannot be transferred to ASO instantly, since there is a step to replicate data to ASO.
And for Map Reporting Application in Planning, we got the mapping issue, since there are some dimension members totally different between Planning and ASO.
So, can anyone help to show other ways to do that?
Thank you.

iTunes does transfer files like pictures, music, video, and I believe under the apps section it should transfer specific app files too.
otherwise I don't know. I tried to get my ipad to link to my computer with bluetooth (it saiys it is linked now) but when I try to transfer a file or browse the device it won't work.... I dunno!

Conveting ASO formula to BSO formulae

Hi experts,
I am working on BSO cube which looks like a reference ASO Cube.Since ASO and BSO both are having the similar dimensions and members.
In my Period dimension(ASO)
Eg : Period (Time)
+ Year Total (4) (+)
+ QTD (12) (+)
+ YTD (12) (+)
+ Period Variances (+)
+ Current Month vs Prior Month (+) [Formulae :([&CurMon],[&CurYr]) - ([&PrMon],[&PrMonYear])]
+ Current Month vs Prior Month % (+) [Formulae :((([&CurMon],[&CurYr]) - ([&PrMon],
[&PrMonYear])) /&PrMon],[&PrMonYear])) * 100]
This script is verifying successfully in ASO,but when it comes for BSO,it was not working.
Can any one help me out in converting the above script from ASO to BSO?
I have gone through EBAG for converting codes,but unable to find useful info.
I have been struck up here in this point.
Waiting awfully for your feedbacks.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Usually people are trying to convert BSO to ASO. It's interesting to see this coming full circle with new users of Essbase starting off with ASO and not having the BSO experience and now having to work backwards from there. I think it shows how powerful ASO is becoming.
For your situation your MDX needs to be converted to Calc Script language. Tuples are represented using cross dimensional operators (->) and you need to end your statements with a semi colon (;).
+ Current Month vs Prior Month (+) Formulae : &CurMon->&CurYr - &PrMon->&PrMonYear;
+ Current Month vs Prior Month % (+) Formulae : ((&CurMon->&CurYr - &PrMon->&PrMonYear) /&PrMon->&PrMonYear) * 100;

BSO to ASO Formula Conversion - Help Needed

ASO is not my forte...I am trying to get a simple formula to work in ASO cube as part of BSO->ASO conversion.
If it is level 0 entity, the formula is (Last Shipped (PU) * Part Volume)...works fine.
If its upper level, it should just sum the values of its children. The BSO equivalent that we typically use is @SUM(@CHILDREN(@CURRMBR("Entity"))).
I attempted the same in the ASO MDX script as shown below, it is not yielding me the correct result....any thoughts why this is not working?
Thanks in advance.

Member Formula*
CASE WHEN ISLEVEL(Entity.CurrentMember, 0) THEN+
Last Shipped (PU) x Part Volume+
ELSE+
SUM(Children(Entity.CurrentMember))+
END+
Edited by: Nima.V on Nov 12, 2008 7:12 PM

Have you tried specifying which measure you want it to sum?
e.g.
CASE WHEN ISLEVEL(Entity.CurrentMember, 0) THEN
Last Shipped (PU) x Part Volume
ELSE
SUM(Children(Entity.CurrentMember), [Measure].[Part Volume])
END
also I'm not sure whether the SUM is correct. This might work as it definately specifies the tuples:
SUM({Products.CurrentMember.children},[Measures].[Part Volume])
hope it helps,

Data issues in Migrating Essbase(BSO and ASO apps)from Server 7 to Server 9

I was able to copy application one is BSO another one is Aso
Both APPS ARE CLEARED IN BATCH FILE.
Budget data excel and flat files is loaded to BSO, calcualation for current year data is done the some for budget files loaded and then calcs are executed.
Then the data for curent year is extracted from bso
then this data all such previus yr and prev exports are loaded to ASO
Then agg is enabled in ASo
All this is done using a batch which call s 10 maxl and which in turn load data and run staggered calcs.
But the issues is Data is not matching after perform these steps in Server 9 at many intersections
Every artifact/var are copied, batch logs are success but still data does not match vs Server 7.
I believe some extra data is generated by Creteblockoneq, createnonmissblock and other calc functions.
I tried copy/Migrate/Manual copy but nothing worked.
Data analysis shows atleast some extra recored are generated after calc in export file
Help needed?

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
There are no rejects.
I am exporting level 0 data and loaading it to ASO.
And, the issue includes both points-
1)Extra data points coming in
2)Some intersections data is missing
It is like 80% data is matching
It seems some essbase Calcs calculation way is modified although not sure.

Partitioning BSO to ASO to get around FDM limitations

FDM only currently loads to BSO Essbase cubes. However, one of our FDM-loaded BSO cube is far better suited to being ASO, not least because it has:
- Twelve dimensions.
- A huge "customer" hierarchy (over 40,000 members), which is purely aggregating.
- Most of the other dimensions are also purely aggregating (although there are a few complex calcs on specific members).
The sheer size of the BSO cube outline and the data being loaded results in prohibitive calculation times, so we are looking for a workaround.
Thoughts at present are to create an ASO cube (effectively copying and converting the current outline to ASO using the Wizard), create a replicated partition to transfer data from the BSO to ASO cube (mostly from level-0 members) and to use the BSO cube purely as a data-entry point. Users would then report from the ASO cube, which could be refreshed from the BSO cube when required.
This would then mean that upper-level members and any calculations in the BSO cube are pretty much redundant.
Does anyone agree with, or have any reservations on the above idea? Is there potentially a better method here? Also, could anyone please hazard a guess on how long the replicated partition refresh might take?

Is the BSO cube only loaded from FDM / other loads? Or are users entering data? Is it an Essbase or Planning app?
While it is true that there isn't a FDM adapter to load into ASO, you do not have to go from a BSO cube to the ASO cube for the data loads. Just have FDM export to a flat file and load that into ASO using maxl / batch script.

Importing cells and formulas from Excel?

We are currently using Excel for our time sheets. We are trying to get away from that and are looking into using Adobe reader for our users to fill in their information. We use LiveCycle to design our forms, and I was wondering if there was a way to import out page layout and formulas from Excel to LiveCyle? If not, is there an easy way to set up formulas similar to =SUM(C19:C25)?

Page layout, yes. Formulae, no. You would need to learn the equivalent
Acrobat or Designer concepts and convert each file, each field.

Repl. Partioning BSO to ASO: increase of size of .dat file in temp-folder

Hello,
we are shifting data from a BSO Cube to an ASO cube via replicated partitioning. The partitioning takes about 50 minutes to execute.
Size of .dat in metadata-folder: 8 mb
Size of .dat in default-folder: 150 mb
Size of .dat in temp-folder: 38 gb
Does anyone have an explanation for the enormous size of the .dat file in temp-folder?
Many thanks in advance!
Michael

I am doing the same BSO to ASO. My ess00001.dat in default is 1.9GB, in metadata it is 8.2MB, the OTL file in <db> is 18MB and the outline has about 10,000 members (rough guess). Our partition replication script looks like this:
login <user> identified by <password> on <server>;
spool on to <logfile>;
refresh replicated partition <srcBSO_App>.<srcBSO_DB> to <tgtASO_App>.<tgtASO_db> at <server> updated data;
Exit;
I have a second process running in a task scheduler that is continuously updating the aggregates in the ASO cube. Perhaps that is cleaning out my temp .dat. The MaxL command it calls is:
execute aggregate selection on database <tgtASO_App>.<tgtASO_db> based on query_data;
Please check out the post I put on the other thread about how we run MaxL from a calc script and other thoughts on "round tripping" Planning-ASO-Planning. Another trick: Retrieve speed is dramatically improved by disabling and working around the @XREFs.

BSO to ASO Partitioning Help

Can anyone help me with a couple questions in regards to our partitioning strategy from our Block Storage planning cube to our Aggregate storage planning cube in 11.1.2? Our original approach was to use a transparent partition for planning scenario (Budget, Forecast) data from BSO source to ASO target for level-zero only. ASO would handle aggregations. Also loading Actuals data directly into ASO cube from source system. We would like to have additional dimensions not required for Planning to be stored just in the ASO database in order to minimize database size and calc times on the BSO side. Two questions:
1) We've found that the Actuals scenario data can not be queried in the ASO target (return #missing). Is this standard behavior for a transparent partitioned ASO target in 11.1.2?
2) Regardless of partition type (Replicated or Transparent) can we have a different number of dimensions in our BSO and ASO cubes? Again my understanding is no, but wanted to confirm.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

data that is loaded directly to an ASO cube that is the target of a transparent partition is not visible^^^Isn't this the key? I read that the natively loaded data is overwritten (not really, more like overpartitioned) by the partition definition and the partition takes precedence.
So the answer then would be to not have that conflict.
Unless Tom was talking about something else/I'm misunderstanding.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour
Edited by: CL on Mar 10, 2011 8:13 AM
Whoops, missed this part:
This is the case even when the intersection of the data is outside the area defined by the partition.I still wonder if there's an overwrite of intersections going on.

How to get a formula from the user from a text box in a webpage

Hi. I would like to know how to get the formula from the user who enters in a textbox. This formula can have any number of variables starting with a and goes on.
The complexity of the formula can go upto sin, cos, ln, exp. Also user enters the minimum and maximum values of these variables. Based on a specific algorithm (which I use) I would calculate a *set of values, say 10, for each of these variables, substitute in the formula and based on the result of this formula, I select ONE suitable value for each of the variables.
I don't know how to get this formula (which most likely to be different each time) and substitute the values *which I found earlier.
Kindly help me out in this issue.
Thanks

The textbox is the easy part. It's no different than getting a String parameter out of an HTTP request.
The hard part is parsing the String into a "formula" for evaluation. You'll have to write a parser or find one.
Google for "Java math expression parser" and see what you get.
Or write your own with JavaCC.

How to delete formula from cells and keep the values in Excel VBA

Hi,
In my Excel I have 15 columns. In column F which has a formula (INDEX MATCH), it has contains "RECEIVED" and "INTRANSIT". I need to filter the column F for all "RECEIVED" and then remove the formula from cells and
retain or keep the values that are already in the cells. something tricky and i'm not sure on how to work on this in Excel VBA.
Below is my initla VBA code:
I already have the codes on how to filter. kindly please help me on how to do this. thank you in advance.
Sub test_Click()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim lrow As Long
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Sheets("Intransit_")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ws.AutoFilterMode = False
With ws
lrow = .Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("A1:R" & lrow)
Debug.Print rng.Address
rng.AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:="RECEIVED"
End With
Application.creenUpdting = True
End Sub

Solved.
Sub test_Click()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim lrow As Long
Dim rRec As Range
Dim btField As Byte
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Sheets("Intransit_")
btField = 6
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ws.AutoFilterMode = False
With ws
lrow = .Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("A1:R" & lrow)
With rng
.AutoFilter Field:=btField, Criteria1:="RECEIVED"
On Error Resume Next
Set rRec = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
If Not rRec Is Nothing Then
With rRec
.Columns(btField).Value = .Columns(6).Value
End With
End If
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
