Create Attribute Dimension by rule file

Hi,
How can we create an attribute dimension and associtae members of sparse dimension with members of attribute dimension by using a rule file?
There is no option of 'Attribute' under dimension type in dimension propertites.
Plz help on it.
Atul K

First you have to create a standard dimension and made the storage setting sparse.
Then, you can create another dimension of type Attribute and associate it with the standard sparse dimension.
Then you can write rule files for attributes.
If you are assigning the attribute dimension MKT_TYPE to the standard dimension MARKET and the generation 4 is the last.
The typical rule file is like this:
Gen4, MARKET MKT_TYPE 4, MARKET
New york Big Market
Washington Small Market

A problem happened when building dimensions with Rule File

Hi All,
I was trying to build dimensions with the rule file. But it showed the error 1030100, which means "cannot open file".
I can load data with a data source (.txt). Thus, I assumed that it's a problem to open a rule file.
I don't think it's the problem about the rule files I wrote since I cannot even build dimensions with rule files in the Sample/Basic database.
Anyone knows how to solve the problem? Thanks for the help.
Best Regards,
Anderson

p.s. Even I re-install my system is English, the word "Client" is shown in Chinese. Is it possible this is the reason? If so, how I change the folder?
After I saw this message, I checked the folder and there is no such file. I tried to created one, but it disappear after I tried to build dimensions.

E:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\Client\dataload.err
This path is referred to error message .... it will show the errors in that file...
and one more thing...
while adding data source to rule file it will ask you provide a path for the error message...there you can see this path...
Just check dataload.err file after running the rule file...
have you associated the out line to the rule file ???
is that rule file validate fine?
if not associate it and try...

Err:Two-pass & Expence reporting properties from dimension build rules file

Hi All,
i'm trying to build account dimension from rules file along with properties.
My source file for dimension building is like below:
Parent,Member Name,Alias,Consolidation,Storage,Time Balance,TB Skip,Variance Reporting,Two Pass,Formula,UDA1:Account
Account,Acc1,,+,Dynamic Calc,None,None,Non-Expense,Two-Pass Calc,,Revenue
Acc1,Acc2,,+,Dynamic Calc,None,None,Non-Expense,Not Two-Pass,,Revenue
Acc1,Acc3,,+,Dynamic Calc,None,None,Non-Expense,Not Two-Pass,,Revenue
after building dimension 'non two-pass' values are showing as 'two-pass' and 'non-expense' are showing as 'Expense'.
if any one knows please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Try using member property codes :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?dotrules.htm#dotrules_2

Get problem when create dimension using dimension build rule file

I got the following warning when I tried to load dimension. I have a product dimension hierarchy which contains 6 levels. I manually create a dimension call product which include six generations. I also create a rule file using SQL. This SQL selects 6 columns and I map each column to each generation. When I load data to build dimension, I always got the following warning and only some part of data get loaded. Anybody know that? Do I have to load parent first before loading child or I can load them at same time?
Thanks
\\Record #1 - Incorrect Parent [10] For Member [10] (3307)
1 2 3 10 10 171
\\Record #2 - Incorrect Parent [1] For Member [1] (3307)
1 1 1 8 8 39

You are getting duplicate names. YOu need to prefix or suffix (or sql concatinate) to make the members unique. in the record 1 example you might want the outpout to look like
Product line 1 Group 2 subgroup 3 Product family 10 product 10 sku 171
Of course I used full names to make it undersatandable, some would use one, two or three letter abrevaitions.

Attribute Assignation in Rules File

Hi!
I am using a Rules File to automatic attributes assignation. The particular thing of this cube, is that the cube acept duplicated members.
The structure of the dimension is as follow:
- CC
-> CC1
----> E1
--------> C1
--------> C2
- Eje [Attribute Dimension]
-> Eje 1
-> Eje 2
The Rules File is as follow:
Level0,CC; Level1,CC; Eje1,CC
C1; E1; Eje1
The result of the execution of the Rules Files is as follow:
- CC
-> CC1
----> E1
--------> C1
--------> C2
-> E1 [Attribute: Eje1]
----> C1
I don't know what is the problem here, because the rules file don't search if the member exists in the structure and only create a new member with the attribute association.
Do you know what is happen here?

By attribute we are passing some extra information (like resourceBundle, unique etc) about property/item-descriptor etc.
you can refer below url:

Unable to build dimension thru rule file using export from DRM

Hi All,
I exported a dimension from DRM in parent-child format and trying to load it thru rule-file into essbase. Everytime i load the data..it is throwing error. Iam confused whether the error is due to DRM file or Essbase itself?
Actually i wanted to show the client the syncup between DRM and Essbase, this is kind of POC. I created an ESSbase application and using outline extractor, extracted the individual dimensions and then converted it into DRM import and loaded there successful. After creation of Properties there and added few members under the hierarchy in DRM.Again exported the dimensions and wanted to load into the same Essbase Application which should reflect the member additions did in DRM. But this DRM to essbase thing is not happening.
Pls anybody help me in this.
Regards,
Sahitya

Hi,
Is there anything in the error log file that is generated when you load it in Essbase??
You got to find the reason in the error file and then we can help you out on this.

Create Attribute Dimension - Numeric

Hi,
11.1.2.2 - ASO
Have a Customer dimension about 500K leaf level members. Want to create a numeric attribute dimension named 'Cust_ID' and the values would be 1 to 500K or so. I create the dim, manually create two sample leaf level children ( 1 and 2). I keep getting this error:
1: Attribute level 0 member name must match attribute format name setting
I can't figure out where to change this. On base dim or attrib dim. I have never created a numeric attribute dim before.
Thanks

I just forced save and re-opened and then verified and it verified. I knew something weird like that was happening. Looks like a bug.

Creating Attribute dimension

Hi All,
I have requirement to build a product dimension where I am thinking to opt for attribute dimension.
I my current outline we have Products
Product manfc
Nike
small
medium
large
Rbk
small
medium
large
Ex large
ETC
Here Sizes small, medium are Level 0.
Now we want Sizes not to be concatenated in the same dimension. So we thought of opting Attribute dimension. Is our approach correct??? Please Advice

As Glenn pointed out, if a product can be more than one size then a single attribute dimension will not work.
But if you are dealing with a small number of sizes then you can get away with making an attribute dimension for each size. Then you can assign any, none or all to each product as you need.
Product (associated attributes: SizeA, SizeB, SizeC, SizeD)
--Nike (attibutes: Small, Medium, Large)
--Rbk (attributes: Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large)
SizeA (attribute)
--Small
SizeB (attribute)
--Medium
SizeC (attribute)
--Large
SizeD (attribute)
--Extra Large

How to use Entity Attributes in excel Rule File

Hello,
I have defined two entities Entity A with two attributes and Entity B child of A with two attributes.
I needed to have many instances of theses objects thats why i have chosen entities.
I need to calculate for each entity a result depending on the values of the attributes filled by the user.
My final goal is to have the sum of these calculated results.
The issue i am facing is whenever i try to define a rule in Excel, OPM considers the attribute as global (and creates it) and not as entity level. I therefore have duplicate error.
How can i tell Excel/OPM that the attribute is entity level ?
Thank you.

Make sure you are using exactly the same attribute text in Excel and in your properties file. You can also use the legend key to map from the attribute text to a shorter form.
There isn't any magic here! If the text is the same it will match.
If you provide the actual text of the attributes and entities you are using, we might notice something else.
Davin.

Creating Attribute Dimensions

I have a Cost Center dimension with 10,500 members. I want to quickly tag these cost centers with 2 attributes. 1st is the first 3 characters of the string(8 in total) as company and the 4th position as dept. How can I do this in an automated way since the dimesnion is already large and I dont want to have to tag them individually

Open a new load rule, associate the outline, go to Options|Dimension Build Settings|Dimension Build Settings Tab and set the Cost Center dimension build method to 'level', I bieleve you will need to check Allow Property Changes, then click OK. Go to File|Open Data File, and open your datafile. You may have to change the delimeter option in the load rule depending on how you saved the data file (to get the columns to populate the columns in the load rule editor). Go to View|Dimension Building Fields. Go To Field|Properties|Dimension Building Properties tab, and set the field properties.. The first column will be the Level 0 for Cost Center. The second column will be the attribute. Validate and save the load rule. Open the outline, and click File|Update Outline. Specify the load rule and the data file, then OK. ***verify the outline before saving it, and of course do all of this in a development copy of the database first**.

Unable to create attribute dimension in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
As per the process,I am create an Attribute for an dimension as below
Hierarchy
Family(gen1)
SKU(gen2)
Attribute1(gen1)
SKU(gen2)
Attribute2(gen2)
SKU(gen3)
Here the issue i am unable to create an 2nd attribute parallel to first on i mean attributes are not creating as sliblings.
Please advise
Thanks,
SatyaB

I think I understand what you are asking. I think your example is something like
Products
---Colas
-----Coke
-----Diet coke
Bottle (attribute)
---Coke
Can (attribute)
---Diet coke
This is not the way attributes work, you would have a column in your soruce perhaps called container_type that has the relationship
Container_type
Sku
So the rows would look like
Sku----Family-----container_type----other properties
coke...Colas........Bottle............XXXXXX
Diet Code..Colas...Can.............XXXXXXX
This could be in your primary table or a joined table

Create Attribute Dimension via the JAVA api

Does anyone know how to create an attribute dimenions via theJava API ? I can set the dimension type to attribute viasetAttributeDimensionDataType but I don't know how toassociate the attr. dimension with a sparse, normal dimension(which is mandatory). 

Hi Marco, It is in the IEssCubeOutline interface. Here is sample code from the CreateOutline.java sample code that ships with EDS: IEssCubeOutline otl = ... IEssDimension product = otl.findDimension("Product"); otl.associateAttributeDimension(product, caffeinated); Tim

Dimension build rule file (Sort member)

I am loading sorted data for one of the dimension. But its is not coming in sorted fashion in outline. New member which i am adding is always coming in The end.Even though that member is in sorted format in the file.
I am using generation method . I am putting member for only generation 2 and its alias.I tried using ascending option but it is giving me error
Can any body help me with this

As Glenn said, the build only builds new members. In order to have FULL control over the order of a resultant dimension's order, you need to blank out the dimension first and then build via the load rule. As Glenn mentioned, you can do "incremental dimension building". You can do this directly in EAS in an interactive manner by using outline/update outline in pull downs. Just do not save the outline until all your changes are done. You can also accomplish incremental builds via Esscmd or via MaxL, but I'll assume for right now you are still testing. The advantages of the incremental changes is that you can do a number of changes before Essbase commits to doing a restructure, which is time consuming, not to mention confusing if you are "deleting" (however temporary) the entire dimension's hierarchy.
Regarding setting ascending order
1) in the load rule's Dimension Build Settings prompt
2) Select Dimension Build Settings tab
3) highlight the dimension you are changing
4) select Ascending for sort order
This should work...I've never had it error out. However, I will say that it sorts the entire dimension...not just the siblings of a new member. Your upper level members will move as well. Because of this, the ascending sort in a load rule is undesirable. Give it a try. If you don't like the results, just don't save the outline.

Attribute dimension

Hi,
can we create groups in attribute dimension using rules file.
we can do it by manually , but i wanna do using rules files.please throw some light .
thanks
kishore

Yes you can, but you can't do in in the same rule that you assign the attributes to base dimensions in. You have to have a seperate rule to build the hierarchy
