Create dimension element in Essbase studio

Hi,
My source does not have version dimension and hence I have not included it in my schema. I want to create members for version dimension. I am trying to enter "Final" in caption binding. It is giving me errors. Is that the right way to create our own members?
Regards,
Ragav.

If you want to build manually then yes they would be user defined members.
If you want to default to a member in a load rule then you can set it in the header - Specifying Data-Source Members in Rules Files

Essbase Studio Alternate Hierarchy Creation error

Hi All,
I'm using Essbase Studio to create an alternate hierarchy. I have a dim which has shared members and I'm getting the following error msg during cube deployment:
1. Record #1- Member Name (SKU) already used i.e. the member for which I m trying to create shared member
     I m following the same procedure mentioned in the user guide i.e.
        Step1: create a copy of the dimension element that you want to designate as a shared member(Renamed SKU_copy with SKU_Diet). By making a copy, the binding expression for this element is the same as the original dimension element (SKU_Diet).
       Step2: when you create the second hierarchy in the chain, which is the alternate hierarchy, add a user-defined membas the parent and add the new dimension element (SKU_Diet) as the child, which will be the shared member.
     Even I m able to see the shared members (SKU_Diet) under user defined member "Diet" under the preview window (both by key binding and caption binding) as wel..
     But I m unable to see the shared members in EAS console after deploying the cube from Essbase Studio to EAS Console.
I m not able to understand what I m missing exactly,.and suggest me other ways as well for creating alternate hierarchies in Essbase Studio.
Thanks in advance..!!

How to create Dimension group in ATG-endeca ecommerce application

We have requirement where we have to specify dimensions and their schema from BCC in ATG. Now the problem is we want to dimension groups and we don't see anywhere in documents to create it. Since this dimensions are created through FCM so we are not able to see in /config/pipeline directory but we see only in processing directory. So we don't see any means to create dimension group through dev studio too. Please tell us how we can do it.

we have to do it through EP interface through BP TMS.
1. connect EP to SAP system
2. Configure all the iviews of TMS business package so it can communicate with SAP system (change only SAP system name for all iviews)
3. Assign the roles to user of EP
4. run application using TMS

Essbase studio application migration

Hi,
We need to migrate Essbase studio model in 11.1.1.3. When I tried tofind options I cannot find export/import options. Also right clicked on the the folder and not able to see any options for export, import, copy etc.
How do we migrate this?
Thank you
Raj

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Your reply helped me to get some insgits. Then how the incremental migration happens. Does it mean we need to update manually? If a new model is created for new application and you know that schema copy is not possible. Does it mean that, we need to migrate the new model by manually creating all artifacts of Essbase studio?
Thank you
Raj

How to create an attribute dimension in Essbase Studio?

I cannot figure out how to create an attribute dimension using Essbase Studio. The online help states that I need to "Find the Attribute settings grouping in the center" of the member properties dialog box. I suspect that I'm having a problem figuring this out because I don't have the attribute dimension properly defined in the relational data source or in the mini-schema. I've tried creating a table with no key relationship to the other tables and with no logical joins defined, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

so in the 11.1.1 version you would click on the member name in the hierarchy you added to the Essbase model and in the center pane of the general tab should be the attributes settings section.
If I had a dimension called stores wth two groupings unser it region and store_type, I would click on store_type and add the attribute info

Unable to create Measures dimension in proper relationshipin Essbase Studio

I am planning to build measure hierarchy in Essbase studio with TBCSample(SQL Server 2005) which is came by default with Essbase Studio installation
I built the hierarchy with parent child relationship.
However the hierarchies is not coming in the proper order
Generally Sales,COGS should come under “Margin ” and it should be under “Profit”
Eg:      Profit
     Margin
          Sales
          COGS
However it is showing differently in “Preview” mode.
Profit
Margin
Margin
Sales
COGS
When I deployed the cube I got the below errors because of the duplicate members

open the minischema and in the graphic go to your measures table. highlight either the parent or child member and right click. select create join. In the screen that comes up, selet the other column from the same table. It will create the join. You wnat an inner join. You can also click on the member and drag and drop the join line to the child member to create the join

Hierarchical attribute dimension with Essbase Studio

Hi everybody,
I need to load product dimension which is organized in a relational parent-child table like this:
(parent_code, member_code, member_alias, brand, consolidation, formula)
Every product has a brand and I need to load brand as attribute dimension. The thing is Brand is not flat but it has its own hierarchy. For Brand I have another relational table where data is organized parent-child like this:
(brand_parent, brand_child, brand_alias).
I need to do this load with Essbase Studio but I do not known how to create the Product hierarchy in cube schema in order to load the hierarchical parent-child attributes. Documentation and tutorials only show examples for flat attributes. I thought of these two ways but not sure if will work:
case 1) Product hierarchy like this:
Parent_code
Member_code
Brand_parent
Brand_child
Member_code
case 2) Product hierarchy like this:
Parent_code
Member_code
Brand_parent
Brand
Member_code
Has anyone had to this? How did you do it?
Any help will be very appreciate.
Thank you,
Daniela

I've not tried it, but you should be able to build the attribute hierarchy within the product hierarchy. sort of like
Parent Code
---member Code
Brand Parent
---Brand Code
-----Member Code.
A couple of things
1. Remember to create the self join between Parent_code and Member code
2. IF this does not work, I suggest creating either a user defined table or a view that just gives you distinct brand parent and Brand Code. Join the Brand Code to the product table on brand_code = brand code and use that table to build that hierarchy.

Essbase Studio - Create Cube Schema without a Measure or Measures Hierarchy

Using Essbase Studio V 11.1.2.1 I'm trying to create a cube schema. The wizard needs a measures or measures hierarchy in order to proceed. My cube doesn't have a dimension that falls under this category. All dimensions are under the Hierarchies. Is there a way to skip adding anything in the Measures/Measures Hierarchies in order to continue building the cube schema/Model? Any work around?

Hi GlennS, I that I need atleast one measure and thats the dollar amount field from the fact table. So I have done that now...
I'm trying to recreate a cube using Essbase Studio. I'm using EIS from an older essbase version as a template.
While doing a member load In EIS, in the olapisvr.log file, I could see the individual select statements for every dimension/member load. Something like "Member load SQL statement (for dimension CURRENCY_CD) has been generated, start adding member to outline". I cannot locate where I specified this sql or how EIS generates this. The sql is very specific so looks like the EIS generated sql for Member load is being overridden.
Once I figure that out, I need to replicate that in Essbase Studio. Any ideas?

Essbase Studio Deployment Dimension Build Errors

I have a ASO cube used to handle Subsidiary financial reporting to parent. Rather than alternate hierarchies, we use attribute dimensions for yearly differentiation. The ASO cube typically holds information for Current year + 3 prior years. This is the first year that we will achieve this as this cube was created near the beginning of 2010. Therefore, with the cube already having attribute dimension for 2010 & 2011, with the beginning of 2013 it is necessary to create the 2012 attribute dimensions. The cube has 13 anchor dimensions. Typically only 4 of these dimensions have attribute dimensions derived from them. Nonetheless, the following is the build list of the dimensions in the essbase model:
1: Financials Standard, Dynamic, Sparse
2: GL Date Time, Stored, Sparse
3: Incident Date Standard, Stored, Sparse
4: View Standard, Dynamic, Dense
5: Company Standard, Multiple-hierarchy, Sparce
6: Well location Standard, Stored, Sparse
7: Depletion Code Standard, Stored, Sparse
8: Vendor Standard, Stored, Sparse
9: Entity Standard, Stored, Sparse
10: Profit Center Standard, Stored, Sparse
11: Curr Yr Cost Obj Standard, Stored, Sparse
12: Past Yr Cost Obj Standard, Stored, Sparse
13: Measures Accounts, Dynamic, Existing
Attribute dimensions are mainly created in 4 of the Defined Hierarchies with in the cube; 1:FINANCIALS, 5:COMPANY, 6:WELL Location, & 10:PROFIT CENTER.
According to the Essbase Server log, upon deployment, the FINANCIALS Hierarchy generates 19 Dimension Build rule files with the associated SQL to pull members from our SQL Dimension Build tables obviously based on the way the Hierarchy is built as well as the joins created in the MiniSchema in the referenced Data Source. The COMPANY Hierarchy generates 5 Dimension Build rule files, WELL LOCATION generates only 1 Dimension Build rule file (this is mainly due to the fact that all the attributes generated from WELL LOCATION are built from the same table), and PROFIT CENTER Generates 3 Dimension build rule files. At this point for comparison purposes I want to include excerpts from the Server Deployment Log file depicting the dimension build rule files generated from the PROFIT CENTER Hierarchy:
Rule 1 Labeled XXXX_PRO.rul
… FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center] cp_319 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 ON (cp_319.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
Rule 2 Labeled XXXX_PR1.rul
… FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2010] cp_275 ON (cp_275.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2010]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
Rule 3 Labeled XXXX_PR2.rul
FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2011] cp_276 ON (cp_276.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2011]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
These Dimension Build rule files are recreated nightly on 4 different production servers, each one successfully redeploying nightly with zero errors.
So now I need to add the new 2012 tables to the Data Source/MiniSchema, create the joins in the MiniSchema mimicking the joins for the 2010 & 2011 Attribute Dimensions. It would be difficult to demonstrate the joins in the MiniSchema but trust me they are there and this is proven by the additional Dimension Build rule files from the appropriate Hierarchies.
So on our test server, which is configured exactly like all 4 of our production servers, I have begun the creation of the 2012 attribute dimensions. I begin with the FINANCIALS Hierarchy adding 7 new attribute dimensions, 6 that are cross table and one that is inter-table.
At this point no changes have been made to any of the other 3 Hierarchies that contain Attribute dimensions; COMPANY, WELL LOCATION, or PROFIT CENTER. They still look exactly as they did in the current state discussed above. Upon deployment, the FINANCIALS Hierarchy generates , as expected 25 Dimension Build rule files, 6 additional because only 6 were cross table attributes, the 7th was within the anchor table and therefore would be included in the first dimension build rule file. COMPANY still generates 5 Dimension Build rule files, again as expected. WELL LOCATION still generates only the 1 Dimension rule file also as expected. Lastly, PROFIT CENTER also again only generates the 3 Dimension Rule files, however, one has materially changed as noted below:
Rule 1 Labeled XXXX_PRO.rul
…FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center] cp_319 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 ON ((cp_319.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code]) AND (cp_328.[profit_center_code]=cp_319.[profit_center_code])) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
Rule 2 Labeled XXXX_PR1.rul (This one did not change)
…FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2010] cp_275 ON (cp_275.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2010]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
Rule 3 Labeled XXXX_PR2.rul (This one did not change)
…FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2011] cp_276 ON (cp_328.[profit_center_code_2011]=cp_276.[profit_center_code]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
The change in Rule 1 above appears to now require something different from the previous deployment and when we run the deployment now it runs forever and ultimately fails, yet no changes have been made to the Hierarchy, no changes have been made to the MiniSchema involving joins to the tables used in the building of the Hierarchy, and no new tables have been added to the data source that would affect this Hierarchy.
Additionally, I have also run each of these incrementally, and the PROFIT CENTER even incrementally still makes the change to the SQL statement shown above.
So finally, to my question, Why and What caused this Dimension Build Rule file to change and ultimately led to deployment failure? Has anyone ever encountered this in Essbase Studio Deployments?

Gurus, anybody anything on this one??
I haave done a small adjustment in the dimension order by which I have eliminated the following error:
Record #40 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member xxxxxxxxx (3320)
Record #40 - No time dimension defined
But, I have the following new error/warning (cube build successfull in this case) when I made this adjustment:
Record #427 - Error adding Attribute to member PATB4_ADJ-PDA (3320)
The adjustment I made is... I moved TIME dimension up and ACCOUNT dimension below that...so the order I have now is TIME,ACCOUNT,SCENATRIO,XXX,XXXX instead of ACCOUNT,TIME,SCENARIO,XXX,XXXXX ..*would this create any performance issues?*

Creating UDA in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
Can Someone help mw out how to create assign a UDA for a particular column in Essbase Studio
Thanks,
Reddy Bodhanapu

If you go to the essbase properties of your model, then select the dimension and a level in hierarchy, there is a UDA tab where you either add a new UDA value or use External Source to set it to a column in the table.

Creating Measure in Essbase studio

Hi All,
I have created a user-defined table(say Table1) in Essbase studio having one calculated column(say Col1), Now when I use this column in another user-defined table like(Table1.col1) its throwing error "+Table or view dosent exist+".
Is there any way to use the column from one user-defined table in another user-defined table in Essbase studio??
Thanks.....
Regards,
Lolita

As John said, a user defined table is like a view or more accuractly a processed SQL on other tables. you can join to in in your minschema, but if you need to use the defined columns in another SQL, I suggest you go to your DBAs and have them add your table into the database as a view. It sounds like the need is complicated and is better done at the source.

Create UI elements dynamically in AppleScript Studio?

I'd like to create an applescript studio app that can create UI elements (radio buttons, checkboxes, etc) dynamically based on certain other criteria. I've been writing applescripts for a while but am somewhat new to applescript studio, so I don't know where to look for this, other than here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

that's what I thought. Unfortunately I'd like to have the ability to have no prior knowledge of what UI elements are needed, and call them into being at any time. So I'm gonna infer that that just isn't possible.
Related question: can I set up a UI element, let's say a checkbox, and dynamically tell the UI element how many checkboxes I need and what their names/values should be? Or once again do I need to have prior knowlege of how many checkboxes I need?

How to use Logical operators in Essbase Studio?

I want to add a new Dimension Element like
if ( connection : \'SH'::'SH.CUSTOMERS'.'CUST_GENDER' == "M" ) then "Male"
else "Female"
However, there isn't 'if ... then ...' expression in Essbase Studio. I'm puzzled to the usage of logical operators such as '==', '!=', and so on.

The == and !== are to set conditions for filtering. the ! meand not. In esscense these allow you to get a subset of rows that meet the conditions specified. In your case where Gender == "M" you will only get those rows where the value is "M". What you want to do is transform rows not filter them. I have not looked at studio enough yet to know how to do this, but a few things come to mind. First, you could use text to create the outline menbers instead of values from the tables, you could crete a reference table with the M = Male and F = Female and join to it to get the values or you could use a standard load rule and sql interface to load the data and just build the dimensions and drill through from Studio. I think I would opt for the second option

Hi Celvin
Thanks for your reply.
I can connect from the same Essbase Server from the data source connection used in the Essbase Studio console.
I am not using any encrypted passwords.
I can log into MaxL with no issues, but running trying to execute the following command is where I get the error.
deploy all from model 'GL_Analysis' in cube schema '\ANALYSIS\Schema\Schema' with option delete_members login $1 identified by $2 on host 'server1' to application 'test1' database 'test1' overwrite values using connection 'essbaseserver' keep 200 errors on error ignore dataload write to default;
It allows me to connect and deploy sucessfully using the Maxl installed from the Essbase client version 11.1.2.2. However running the MaxL installed from the Essbase client MaxL version 11.1.2.3 seems to provide me with the connection issue. I am trying to determine if it is a bug or something that was missed during upgrade process.
Currently we need to deploy via the Studio.
Thanks.

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.
