Datacopy of dynamically calc'd data

In Essbase 6.5, I am looking to copy data in an ACCOUNTS dimension from one dynamically calc'd member to a level zero member but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

The last 2 queries are getting optional data out of the DB. The user is not required to fill out those fields but if they do, I want to get that data.
I have designed it this way following the instruction of the book "head first php and my SQL" by Head First Labs. It said that you should minimize duplicate data in a table as much as possible to keep them small. Instead put the data in a separate table and reference it with a key. Your tables should only describe one specific thing, so thats what I did. I have them linked with foreign keys and primary keys.
In my case each user can have a vehicle saved for them, maybe 2 or 3. for each vehicle they have the option of listing a car audio setup for that vehicle. Now when they change their setup and update it on the site, a new setup entry is made. That way the old pics/video of their old setup are still correct and all new pics will be correct as well. So essentially each vehicle can have maybe 5. 10 setups linked to it. Hence the separate table for video data, vehicle and setup. make sense?
As for the joins, I was kind of confused on how to do it correctly with my particular queries. And since the 2nd and 3rd queries dont always need to be executed, i thought if i left it as 3 it might save some execution time as only 1 short query needs to be executed.
what is your opinion on the matter?
and what do you mean by procedural language? like if/else?

DATACOPY from Dynamic Calc Member not working

Hello,
I have a BR to Copy from one Scenario to another. I let the user chose the Scenario via RTP. When they chose a dynamic calc scenario no data is copied.
Here is the Rule
SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK ON;
SET COPYMISSINGBLOCK ON;
FIX(Dec, "Daten brutto", "Daten_brutto_P_M")
DATACOPY [TEBIT_COPY_Year_Source]->[TEBIT_COPY_Scenario_Source]->Final TO [TEBIT_COPY_Year_Target]->[TEBIT_COPY_Scenario_Target]->Version_1;
ENDFIX
I fix on some specific Members an then copy from a specific Year->Scenario combination the Final Version to another Year->Scenario combination Version_1. Doing this with a store Scenario works, with a dynamic calc Scenario it doesnt.
Thx for your Help.

Kevin,
Unfortunately, I think this is the way it works. DATACOPY will not copy dynamically calculated members to stored members.
Although it is not in the DATACOPY Tech Ref documentation, that's the way it works.
Here are some older threads on the "other" board:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1054220911/Datacopy+Problem
You are going to have to come up with another way of copying the Scenario by summing the members into the target Scenario. It can be a pain because you're going to have to mind the creation of the blocks. SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ will be your friend on this one.

Datacopy from Dynamic Calc member

Hi All,
Within a dense dimension(Accounts) I want to copy data from dynamic calc member to a stored member. Below is the structure of my dimension.
Member X (~, Stored)
Member A (Dynamic calc, TBLast)
----Member A1 (Dynamic Calc)
----Member A2 (Dynamic Calc)
----Member A3 (Member formula, Dynamic Calc, TBFirst)
Now I want to copy data from Member A to Member X. I believe we cannot copy from Member A because it is a dynamic calc member, instead we can write a script which adds the children of Member A1, A2 and A3 provided A3 did not have member formula. I hope i'm right. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Using ver 11.1.13.
Thanks

Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).

Hi,
Our Environment is Essbase 11.1.2.2 and working on Essbase EAS and Shared Services components.One of our user tried to run the Cal Script of one Application and faced this error.
Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
I have done some Google and found that we need to add something in Essbase.cfg file like below.
1012704 Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than number ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry (a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
Possible Problems
Analytic Services could not lock enough blocks to perform the calculation.
Possible Solutions
Increase the number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate for a calculation:
Set the maximum number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate to at least 500.
If you do not have an $ARBORPATH/bin/essbase.cfg file on the server computer, create one using a text editor.
In the essbase.cfg file on the server computer, set CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH to 500.
Stop and restart Analytic Server.
Add the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH command to the beginning of the calculation script.
Set the data cache large enough to hold all the blocks specified in the CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH setting.
Determine the block size.
Set the data catche size.
Actually in our Server Config file(essbase.cfg) we dont have below data added.
CalcLockBlockHigh 2000
CalcLockBlockDefault 200
CalcLockBlocklow 50
So my doubt is if we edit the Essbase.cfg file and add the above settings and restart the services will it work? and if so why should we change the Server config file if the problem is with one application Cal Script. Please guide me how to proceed.
Regards,
Naveen

Your calculation needs to hold more blocks in memory than your current set up allows.
From the docs (quoting so I don't have to write it, not to be a smarta***:
CALCLOCKBLOCK specifies the number of blocks that can be fixed at each level of the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH | DEFAULT | LOW calculation script command.
When a block is calculated, Essbase fixes (gets addressability to) the block along with the blocks containing its children. Essbase calculates the block and then releases it along with the blocks containing its children. By default, Essbase allows up to 100 blocks to be fixed concurrently when calculating a block. This is sufficient for most database calculations. However, you may want to set a number higher than 100 if you are consolidating very large numbers of children in a formula calculation. This ensures that Essbase can fix all the required blocks when calculating a data block and that performance will not be impaired.
Example
If the essbase.cfg file contains the following settings:
CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 500 CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 200 CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 50
then you can use the following SET LOCKBLOCK setting commands in a calculation script:
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
means that Essbase can fix up to 500 data blocks when calculating one block.
Support doc is saying to change your config file so those settings can be made available for any calc script to use.
On a side note, if this was working previously and now isn't then it is worth investigating if this is simply due to standard growth or a recent change that has made an unexpected significant impact.

Data not replicated with partition and dynamic calc

HI
I am using Essbase 11.1.2.1.
I want to use a replicated pratition wetween two Essbase BSO applications.
But in my source application, I have to send an account ACCOUNT (level 1) with several stored members and 1 dynamic calc member with formula. Due to this Dynamic calc account, the partition doesn't work (data are not replicated).
How could I do?
Thanks
Fanny

You're right, dynamic calc account are not issues. I am using them in partition.
But py issue is there :
The source dimension is like this :
TAX (Dynamic Calc)
- 6xxxxxxx
- 6yyyyyyy
- 6zzzzzzz (Dynamic Calc) = formula
The target dimension is like this :
TAX
And so I need to send TAX (Source) to TAX (cible).
I don't think it is possible, but I would like a confirmation before using something else.
I hope it is clearer now.
thanks
Fanny

Input data into dynamic calc in Planning forms

Hi guys,
Have someone tried to combine these two requirements:
1. to have upper level members dynamic calc
2. to give users the ability to input data into those upper level members through Planning forms.
I need to do that in order to pass inputted values into HBR, and allocate those values to the leaf level across multiple dimensions. I need those members dynamic calc because otherwise I would need to aggregate data across 7 dimensions and that takes too long. Those allocations are suposed to happen constantly and are the main purpose of application.
I know you can have dummy stored members that correspond the uper level dynamic members, but then the user will have input forms without current data and will be required to check reports/forms with dynamic calc members prior to updating data.
I wonder if it is a realistic task to change jsp files that generate those forms, so that data can be inputed into the form, but instead of passing it to Essbase cube to send it to relational database.
P.S.
This is related to the thread I opened about optimizing recalculation time:
Recalculatiion takes much longer than initial calculation
I received a lot of valuable advices that would definitely work in other situations, but in my case they seem to contradict either user concurrent access or performance requirements.
Thanks a lot!
Dmitry

Hi Glenn,
I think i found a workaround for this, or may be i am missing something. I will replicate my hierarchies so that one hierarchy will have uper level stored members, and another dynamic calc. Once user loads the form it will run on-load script that will copy data from corresponding dynamic calc to stored slice. The updated data will be alocated to the leaf level, but will never be aggregated. Since reporting is done from ASO cube i only care about the leaf level and current selection in the form.
Thanks!

Data not rolling up of a dynamic calc member for a particular entity

Hi,
In my planning application data is not rolling up of a dynamic calc member for a particular entity whereas it is working fine for other entity.
Please find below the sample Smartview Retrieve
----------------Member_ALL---Member_None---Member Top---Member_ALL---Member_None---Member Top
----------------Entity 1----------Entity 1------------Entity 1----------Entity 2----------Entity 2------------Entity 2
Acc1------------100----------------#--------------------#---------------122---------------#-------------------122
NOTE: # denotes missing
Member_ALL and Member_None are children of Member_Top. Both Member_ALL and Member_Top are Dynamic Calc whereas Member_None is Store.
As shown above data is rolling upto Member Top for entity 2 while it is not getting rolled up for Entity 1.
Request you to please help in finding the error.
Thanks in Advance'
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Is Acct 1 Dynamic Calc? In that case will it NOT calculate the combination MemberTop->Entity1 as Member_ALL->Entity1 + Member_None->Entity1.
I beleive it'll calculate the Acct1 member again for Member Top based on the dynamic formula (whatever the logic). If you make it Acct1 Stored, then the aggregation will be correct by first calculating and storing the Acct1 member and then AGG the Member dimension.
Cheers,
Abhishek

Dynamic Calc Issue - CalcLockBlock or Data Cache Setting

We recently started seeing an issue with a Dynamic scenario member in our UAT and DEV environments. When we tried to reference the scenario member in Financial Reports, we get the following error:
Error executing query: The data form grid is invalid. Verify that all members selected are in Essbase. Check log for details.com.hyperion.planning.HspException
In SmartView, if I try to reference that scenario member, I get the following:
The dynamic calc processor cannot allocare more than [10] blocks from the heap. Either the CalcLockBlock setting is too low or the data cahce size setting is too low.
The Dynamic calcs worked fine in both environments up until recently, and no changes were made to Essbase, so I am not sure why them stopped working.
I tried to set the CalcLockBlock settings in the Essbase.cfg file, and increases the data cache size. When I increases the CalcLockBlock settings, I would get the same error.
When I increased the data cache size, it would just sit there and load and load in Financial Reporting and wouldn't show the report. In SmartView, it would give me an error that it had timed out and to try to increase the NetRetry and NetDelay values.

Thanks for the responses guys.
NN:
I tried to double the Index Cache Setting and the Data Cache setting, but it appears when I do that, it crashes my Essbase app. I also tried adding the DYNCALCCACHEMAXSIZE and QRYGOVEXECTIME to essbase.cfg (without the Cache settings since it is crashing), and still no luck.
John:
I had already had those values set on my client machine, I tried to set them on the server as well, but no luck.
The exact error message I get after increasing the Cache settings is"Essbase Error (1042017) Network error: The client or server timed out waiting to receive data using TCP/IP. Check network connections. Increase the olap.server.netConnectTry and/or olap.server.netDealy values in teh essbase. proprieties. Restart the server and try again"

Problem at calculation time, when using Dynamic Calc measures

Hello, We are using Essabse v6.5 and we want to upgrade to v7.1. we are performing some tests, in order to check that the Cubes we have created in 6.5 are working properly in v7.1. the problem that we are experiencing is that the calculation time for the cubes that have dynamic calc members has exploaded to 10 times more, compared to what it took at version 6.5. Do you have any idea why this happens. (also we are still using the old client "Application Manager") Furhermore, I have set up 2 cubes that are the same, except the 1st has dynamic calc memebers, whereas the 2ns has not. I perform calcualtions with the SET MSG DETAIL; and receive the following: CUBE (A) with Dynamic Calc Total Block Created: [4.3720e+03] Blocks Sparse Calculations: [8.0620e+03] Writes and [2.5338e+05] Reads Dense Calculations: [2.8000e+01] Writes and [2.8000e+01] Reads Sparse Calculations: [6.0202e+06] Cells Dense Calculations: [1.1476e+06] Cells CUBE (B) withOUT Dynamic Calc Total Block Created: [4.3720e+03] Blocks Sparse Calculations: [4.3720e+03] Writes and [3.5887e+04] Reads Dense Calculations: [2.8000e+01] Writes and [2.8000e+01] Reads Sparse Calculations: [6.0202e+06] Cells Dense Calculations: [1.1476e+06] Cells Question: Why does Cube (A) has more Sparse Calculations than Cube(B) ???? thanx

Yes, all the settings were exactly the same. See following: - Data Cache (note: we are NOT using the Data File Cache) - Index Cache - Index Page - Commit Block Interval - Cache memory Locking - Access Mode = buffered IO - Data Compression = Bit-Map encoding - Two Pass Calculatino = ON - Aggregate Missing Values = ON - CFG file Is there any new settings in 7.1 that I must configure? Is there any settings that I cannot see through the old client Application Manager, which is important? Must I install the new client in order to be able to configure correctly the Outline/Cube? Thnkx

Retrive time with Dynamic Calc

Hi Experts,
My users run a large smart view report which works well
However, when they change one of the member on the query to DC member (dense)
Then the retrieve takes forever and they getting network error from smart view.
I try to figure out , how can I improve the retrieve time on my BSO app, focusing on DC issues
I try to increase the data cache, index cache, retrieval buffer and sort.
I add command of DYNCALCCACHEMAXSIZE and the retrieve doesn’t getting better.
In addition, can you pls help me understand the app log file,
Here’s what happen after I ran the report, maybe it will lead

Pls help me find out how can I overcome this.
Many thanks,

I'll add on to Dan's comment that you very much need to test the dynamic calc (if indeed that is the problem) in the proper context.
Amusing but painful story:
I was once tasked with reducing calc time on a BSO database. i saw long ugly stored member calcs. Hah! I cleverly converted them to dynamic and calc times dropped. No one told me (and I didn't ask) how they were to be reported. There were thousands of instances of this member on the Excel sheet. What had been a nice fast retrieve dropped to five minutes. Whoops.
Take your pain wherever you like -- if you are reading multiple blocks to do the calc (my guess) nothing on earth is going to make it fast. Why make it dynamic in the first place? How many times is the member retrieved? Is it all in the block or, as i guessed, across multiple blocks?
Last comment -- again (this is getting boring) I agree with Dan -- caches are not, usually, the source of any performance joy and it always comes down to design.

Optimizing a dynamic calc

Hi In our measures dimension we have a MTD member, which is a dynamic calc.The formula is:if (not @ISLEV (Time,0))"AIP-Sales";else@SUMRANGE("AIP-Sales",@ILSIBLINGS(@CURRMBR(Time)));endif;The problem is that it takes very long to fetch on this member.If I just put in if (not @ISLEV (Time,0))"AIP-Sales";else"AIP-Sales";endif;the fetch is instantaneous but whith the first fetch it takes 30 seconds even when fetching on an upper level member of time. Does Essbase evaluate the full expression regardles of the if statement?Time is a dense dimension, with the isolated dates beiing lvl 0, months lvl 1 then qtrs etc.The strange thing is that with the first formula it retrieves 3 blocks, even though there are no references outside the current block.With the second formula only 1 block is fetched as should be expected.Soren

Check out"Dynamic Time Series"in the Essbase documentation.Machismo

Function @Parent with Member Dynamic calc

Hi Everybody,
I have a simple Business Rule where i need to assign the Parent value to a child. The parent is a Dynamic Calc and using the function @Parent Essbase doesn't retrieve the data. The formula is as follows:
Fix (
Account_1,
product_1
Version_X = @Parent(Currmbr(Account))->@Parent(Currmbr(product))->Version_Y;
Endfix
The parent of Account_1 is a Dynamic Calc member. I already tried with @Parentval, but it isn't the solution.
Thank you all guys
Maurizio
Maurizio

Thanks for your reply Soul but it didn't work in my case. I tried using @Ancest function but when the business rule is launched Essbase returns missing value. The member on which i'm assigning value is a Sparse Dimension Member (Version) whereas the Dimension member from which i'm trying to retrieve value (Dynamic Calc Member) is a Dense Dimension Member (Account).
I also tried the SET FRMLRTDYNAMIC....
Thank you anyway.... if you have any other idea please tell me... otherwise i will have to use @Sumrange function to obtain the value of the childrens of that Account Member.
Tks
Maurizio

Retrieval performance become poor with dynamic calc members with formulas

We are facing the retrieval performance issue on our partititon cube.
It was fine before applying the member formulas for 4 of measures and made them dynamic calc.
The retrieval time has increased from 1sec to 5 sec.
Here is the main formula on a member, and all these members are dynamic calc (having member formula)
IF (@ISCHILD ("YTD"))
IF (@ISMBR("JAN_YTD") AND @ISMBR ("Normalised"))
"Run Rate" =
(@AVG(SKIPNONE, @LIST (@CURRMBR ("Year")->"JAN_MTD",
@RANGE (@SHIFT(@CURRMBR ("Year"),-1, @LEVMBRS ("Year", 0)), @LIST("NOV_MTD","DEC_MTD")))) *
@COUNT(SKIPNONE,@RSIBLINGS(@CURRMBR ("Period")))) + "04";
ELSE
IF (@ISMBR("FEB_YTD") AND @ISMBR ("Normalised"))
"Run Rate" =
(@AVG (SKIPNONE, @RANGE (@SHIFT(@CURRMBR ("Year"),-1, @LEVMBRS ("Year", 0)),"DEC_MTD"),
@RANGE (@CURRMBR ("Year"), @LIST ("JAN_MTD", "FEB_MTD"))) *
@COUNT(SKIPNONE,@RSIBLINGS(@CURRMBR ("Period")))) + "04";
ELSE
"Run Rate"
=(@AVGRANGE(SKIPNONE,"Normalised Amount",@CURRMBRRANGE("Period",LEV,0,-14,-12))*
@COUNT(SKIPNONE,@RSIBLINGS(@CURRMBR ("Period"))))
+ "Normalised"->"04";
ENDIF;
ENDIF;
ELSE 0;
ENDIF
Period is dense
Year is dense
Measures (normalised) is dense
remaining all sparse
block size 112k
index cache to 10mb
Rertrieval buffer 70kb
dynamiccalccahe max set to 200mb
Please not that, this is partition cube, retriving data from 2 ASO, 1 BSO underline cubes.

I received the following from Hyperion. I had the customer add the following line to their essbase.cfg file and it increased their performance of Analyzer retrieval from 30 seconds to 0.4 seconds. CalcReuseDynCalcBlocks FALSE This is an undocumented setting (will be documented in Essbase v6.2.3). Here is a brief explanation of this setting from development: This setting is used to turn off a method of reusing dynamically calculated values during retrievals. The method is turned on by default and can speed up retrievals when it involves a large number of dynamically calculated blocks that are each required to compute several other blocks. This may happen when there is a big hierarchy of sparse dynamic calc members. However, a large dynamic calculator cache size or a large value of CALCLOCKBLOCK may adversely affect the retrieval performance when this method is used. In such cases, the method should be turned off by setting CalcReuseDynCalcBlocks to FALSE in the essbase.cfg file. Only retrievals are affected by this setting.

6.5 vs 6.2 Dynamic calc member in basis of @allocate function

I just converted from 6.2 to 6.5 and have run across a problem in the @allocate function. It appears that it does not resolve the dynamic calc member. Formula is:"Curr Fcst"=@ALLOCATE("SumInput"->"Curr Fcst", @remove(@descendants(@currmbr(Accounts)),@Descendants(@CURRMBR(Accounts),-1)), "Consolidated"->"Curr Fcst"->&LactlmonTD, ,share); The problem is that &LactlmonTD - a substitution variable is "MAY YTD", which is a dynamic calc member. The formula works fine for a stored member "May" if you want to allocate based on last month only. This formula worked in 6.2, but does not work in 6.5 that I can see. Any ideas short of storing the data for YTD? I am logging it as a bug with hyperion.

OK - Hyperion technical support has solved the issue with an "Undocumented feature". I needed to add the following statement to my Essbase.cfg file:CALCFGDEPOPT FALSEThe explaination was as follows:"This is basically to turn off EVENT 28 in Essbae 6.5. In Essbase 6.2 EVENT28 needs to be turned on manually in the config file, while in Essbase 6.5it is automatically turned on."
