Cube creation in OBIEE

Hi experts
I am new to cube concepts. So please tell me the steps to create cube in OBIEE. Is cube is created on database level(Tables) or we can create at Olap level.
Thanks in advance

frnd

Hi there,
A good place to start would be here - http://wiki.oracle.com/page/I+am+Completely+New+to+Oracle+OLAP
There are Oracle OLAP workshops on the blog - http://oracleolap.blogspot.com/search/label/Workshop
If you want to understand how to integrate an Oracle OLAP cube with OBIEE then I suggest you read this - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/Oracle_OLAP_11g_BIEE_TWP.pdf
Thanks

Error message during cube creation

Hi expert,
System show the following error message during cube creation, please info how to solve this problem. Thanks.
Define the characteristics of the validity table for non-cumulatives
Message no. R7846
Diagnosis
The InfoCube contains non-cumulative values. A validity table is created for these non-cumulative values, in which the time interval is stored, for which the non-cumulative values are valid.
The validity table automatically contains the "most detailed" of the selected time characteristics (if such a one does not exist, it must be defined by the user, meaning transfered into the InfoCube).
Besides the most detailed time characteristic, additional characteristics for the InfoCube can be included in the validity table:
Examples of such characteristics are:
A "plan/actual" indicator, if differing time references exist for plan and actual values (actual values for the current fiscal year, plan values already for the next fiscal year),
the characteristic "plant", if the non-cumulative values are reported per plant, and it can occur that a plant already exists for plant A for a particular time period, but not yet for plant B.
Procedure
Define all additional characteristics that should be contained in the validity table by selecting the characteristics.
In the example above, the characteristics "plan/actual" and "plant" must be selected.
The system automatically generates the validity table according to the definition made. This table is automatically updated when data is loaded.

Hi,
Go to the Extras Tab in the definition of the Cube and there select " Maintain Non-Cumulatives" and there select the Plant check box. You can also check Material but it is not recommended. Now try to activate the cube. I think it will work for you.

Can we show some user defined message while cube loading in OBIEE

Hi All,
Currently we are building OBIEE dashboards from Essbase ASO Cube as datasource.
During Essbase Cube loading ,Essbase will "Disable all Administrative Commands".In this mean time,When users are trying to run the dashboards,OBIEE will thorws severe error.
Can we dispaly some user defined message something like "Cube is loading.Please wait...." or any other alternative.
Time taken to load the cube is 1hr.Please suggest
Thanks,
SatyaB

Yes, You can better try replacing the whole OBIEE dashboard with a custom message. Whenver the load happens...you shud trigger or set a flag value to 'Y'. Using guided navigation when Flag value is matched to Y...right a JS to replace the whole dashboard.
[html]
[head]
[script type="text/javascript"]var strStatus="@1";
if(strStatus =='Y')
location.replace('saw.dll?PortalPages&_scid=in6lPJnWWNk&PortalPath=/shared/Framework/_portal/Cube%20Status%20&Page=Cube%20Status');
[script]
[head]
Replace square bracket with curly brackets in above replace code..
BTW, you shud mark the previous post on Implicit fact. Follow https://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=939

Holap cube reporting on obiee???

is it possible to perform obiee reporting on an holap cube created in essbase using EIS...
In my holap cube cube i have a dimension market. its sub levels are country --> city --> store...
upto the city level data is stored in the essbase cube. whereas the store data is coming from rdbms.......
is it possible to drill down from market to city in obiee..
kindly help !!!

Yes, this is one of the very good and advanced features of OBIEE (nquire). Search the web i.e. for "obiee aggregate navigation"
i.e. this is a good entry point:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/fragmentation_level_based
So you would have to model two LTS (LogicalTableSource) for your LogicalTables in BMM layer, one pointing to Essbase's physical tables on the right hand side and the other pointing to your rdbms table(s). In this scenario it is very important to set the levels on your LTS's correctly.

Info cube creation

can u please tell me the steps, how to create infocube in BW7.0
komal

> Steps to Create Cube in B.I 7.0:
> Procedure
> 1. Create an InfoArea to which the new InfoCube should be
> assigned.
> To do this, choose Modeling (r) InfoProvider.
> 2. In the context menu of the InfoArea, choose Create InfoCube
> 3. Select either Standard or Real Time as the InfoCube type.
> Choose Create.
> If you want to create a copy of an already existing InfoCube, you can
> enter an InfoCube as a template.
> The Edit InfoCube screen appears.
> 4. Transferring InfoObjects:
> On the left side of the screen, there are various templates to choose

> task. For performance reasons, the default setting is an empty template. You
> use the pushbuttons to select different objects as templates.
>
> The InfoObjects that are to be added to the InfoCube are divided into the
> categories characteristic, time characteristic, key figure and unit. You
> have to transfer at least one InfoObject from each category.
>
> On the right side of the screen, you define the InfoCube. Use drag and

> 5. Details and object-specific properties:
> If you double click on an InfoObject, the detail display of this
> InfoObject is displayed. In the context menu of an InfoObject, you can make
> additional settings under Object-Specific Properties. .
> 6. Create dimensions: The dimensions data package, time, and
> unit are available as the default setting. The data package dimension
> contains technical characteristics. Time characteristics and units are
> automatically assigned to the corresponding dimensions. In the context menu
> of the Dimensions folder, you can create additional dimensions under Create
> New Dimensions .
> If a dimension only has one characteristic, or it has a large number of
> values, you need to set the Line Item or High Cardinality indicator.
> 7. In the context menu of the Key Figures folder you can Insert
> New Hierarchy Nodes. In this way you can sort the key figures in a
> hierarchy. You then get a better overview of large quantities of key figures

> 8.
> Save 8. Save or Activate the InfoCube.
hope.....this might give u some sort of help

Cube creation

Hi All
the requirement i got is
dso(sap defined)-->cube(user defined)
i installed the DSO by using options
grouping-->before and afterwards
collection mode-->collec automaticall
installation-->install.
now i have to create a CUBE.
the question is i have to create the Application Component and Data Source or
by default installed DSO contains these?
Anybody can explain please
Thanks & Regards
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
Transformation is for mapping source fields with target fields.
In ur case source is DSO and target is Cube
DTP-Data Transfer Process is used for loading data from source to target
Right click ur cube and select create transformation.
Specify source DSO name
Map fileds between source and target
Activate,
Right click ur cube and select create data transfer process
Window will open in right side in that select required options under Extraction,Update tabs
Activate
Select execute under execute tab

Creation of offline cubes from pivot table[Automation]

I have a pivot table on which i can slice data based on 3 different users so i create the offline cube for each of them independently
using Analyse->OLAP Tools->Offline OLAP.
So i need to repeat this process 3 times since each time i only select one user and deselect the other 2 in the offline OLAP offline
cube creation wizard.
My question is that can this process be automated because in case there are ,say 100 users the manual work will be too much.
Can i get information on the plugin in Excel which does the Offline Cube Creation.

Hi,
I have taken the steps that you mentioned.
It works perfectly when the number of dimensions on which i slice data are small(around 10).
However i need to do this operation on around 90 dimensions so as a result i just keep on seeing this:
RUNNING OLAP QUERY ... (PRESS ESC TO CANCEL)
Is there any way out?
Thanks
