Date Field in Essbase

I'm trying to load a date into the account dimension of Essbase. I would accept almost any date format but preferably mm/dd/yyyy.ThanksJason

If you are talking about a MEMBER as a date, you can have pretty well any format you want. Although Essbase doesn't have any time smarts except in the dimension tagged as time. If you are talking about storing data, the cube only stores numbers. One workaround is to use Excel's date formatting if Excel is your front end. An Excel 'date' is actually a number formatted as a date. Since it's a number it can be stored and retrieved in Essbase, theb displayed in Excel as a date. Again, Essbase will not 'know' it's a date in terms of any functionality.

Characters in data field

Hi,
Is it possible to load characters in datafield. I want to load names in the data field and while generating report for members, i should be able to get names for these members.

The attributes wouldn't be tied directly to the data, but rather to another dimension. So I don't see how that helps you.
In the case of a Yes/No type field value, you could express Y as 1 in Essbase and No as 0 or #missing. Or assign specific numeric values to key words. You would then need your interface to the data to interpret the numeric values back into their string equivalents. Obviously aggregation would not make any sense in the latter scenario.
More likely, your best bet is to consider a text mining solution. I would guess that discussion belongs in a different forum.
Cheers,
Bruce

Can anyone look into this and reply quickly as it's urgent requiremet.
Regards,
Rohan

We are having a similar problem. We're using the IKM SQL to Hyperion Essbase (DATA) knowledge module. We are mapping the actual data to the field called 'Data' in the model. But it kicks everything out saying 'Unknown Member [Data] in Data Load', as if it's trying to read that field as a dimension member. We can't see what we missed in building the interface. I would think the knowledge module would just know that the Data field is, um, data; not a dimension member. Has anyone else encountered this?

Data fields in dso

Hi
If I need to calculate amount based on source and destination,and if these two source and destination fields char are there in data fields of dso and keyfigure amount is also in data fields of DSO can we get exact value if make report on this.

rubane

Actually i need to build report where in rows there will be some char
like source plant and destination plant and in rows on the basis of source and destination the cummulated value of amount base on some other few restriction
now my question is :-
acc to my need I need to make genric extractor but one is already there which contains all my fields. now can i use the same extractor,but the worry is ;these all feilds are first going in dso and all are there in data fields coloumn
What I'm thinking is; it will suppress or accumulte records on the basis of key field's(as usual).
so can you pls let me know what to do in this scenario?
how to build a new report using existing extractor ;can i use existing one?

DSO - What key fields and data fields in dso

Hi experts,
I need to create a dso in between the cube and 2 data sources(2lis_11_vaitm, 2lis_12_vcscl) to stage the data. My question is: what key fields and data fields to choose for the dso? is there a standard dso to copy? please explain in detail the model to set up, whether to connect both the ds's to dso and then to cube or one ds to dso and the other to the cube. more details will help.

Check this for standard DSO:

Key Fields & Data Fields in DSO.

In Standard DSO, Maximum how many number of key fields and data fields we can enter in one DSO?
For e.g : In Cube Char - 248 KF - 233
In DSO Key Fields - ? Data Fields - ?
Regrards,
Nithi.

Hi Nithi,
Since Key fields are decide by us we can add according to our requirement.
Key fields can only be 16 you cannot exceed this. but if you have more key fields, you can combine fields using a routine for a key field
Max Data Fields - 749 data fields can be added in a DSO.

Error While using date fields in HIbernate Criteraia

I am trying a sample applciation using Hibernate with JPA. I am using annotations to map database table with Java class.I am using org.hibernate.Criteria to form where clause. My code looks as follows:
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("PERSISTANCE_UNIT");
EntityManger em = emf.createEntityManager();
Session session = em.getDelegate();
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(MyDO.class)
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("myDO.date",myDO.getDate()));
List list = criteria.list();
I am searching the data base based on the date field (myDO is an instance of MyDO.class which contains the mapping to the data base table). While running the application first time after publishing to server, I am getting the following error. For subsequent running of the application I am not getting any error and the appliaction was running with actual results.

DTP can Not extract data of date field from PSA to Target DSO

Hi everyone.
I enhanced several fields in datasource "2LIS_12_VCITM". that is date field "BLDAT" and another date type fields.
The data of date type fields are extracted very well from datasource to PSA.
But only field "BLDAT" among them are NOT extracted from PSA to target DSO.
Another date type fields is good. but only "BLDAT" field is empty.
I added "BLDAT" later than another date fields.
Is that the reason??
I don't know why.
Let me know the solution. pls~~~~

Hi,
Try deleting and recreating the DTP and loading again.
This solution refers to note 925941 and should be solved in SPS10.
Best regards,

BI Publisher Word Template The report does not contain any data fields.

I have OBIEE BI Publisher report (10.3.4) working fine using BIP but using MS Word 2003 I want to create new template and want to add charts etc.
Step 1. In MS Word I successfully login Oracle BI Publisher as Administrator
2. Oracle BI Publisher -> Open (I open the report)
3. Go to Insert -> Table Wizard
I get this error:
The report does not contain any data fields. Please make sure that the reports generates data with the default settings or provide a valid XML file.
Please help

Hi
How do I load XML data? Also why XML data load is required? Do I have to export XML data from BIP View screen and load from the same file from the word?
Please clarify

Cannot add hub-managed content type with external list lookup columns to a list -- Error:Id field is not set on the external data field

This is a variation on the issue mentioned in this
post
We are using SP 2010 Content Hub to manage our content types. On the content hub we've created a couple of exteranl lists, and then created some site columns as lookups against these lists. We then added the columns to one of our content types
and set it to publish.
After the publishing job executed, I tried adding the content type (which now appears on the subscriber sites) to one of the document libraries on one of the subscriber sites. When I did that it threw the following error:
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.BusinessDataListConfigurationException: Id field is not set on the external data field

I checked the external content type configuration and it did specify an "id column". Anyone know if what I am attempting to do is possible and if so, what special configurations are required?
Thanks

The issue is not External Content type or external list but the look up column.
It's not possible to publish a look up column via the Content Type Hub.
If you need to do this then an alternate way is to use a Managed Metadata column instead, otherwise you will have to implement this via a feature.

I also tried to change the Start date in SCAL for factory calendar but it says enter values between 1995 to 2020.
I am new to ABAP. Please help me how i can achieve these for below code.
DATA: IT_HOLIDAYS type TABLE OF ISCAL_DAY,
      IS_HOLIDAYS TYPE ISCAL_DAY.
DATA: T_DATE TYPE SY-DATUM,
      P_DATE TYPE SY-DATUM.

Hi Zabina,
Try this function module 'DURATION_DETERMINE'.
Give the factory calendar and unit as DAY

Filling Data fields of a DSO in End Routine

Hi Everyone,
The data fields of a DSO contains 2 key figures and a characteristic.
In the End routine of the transformation, i have assigned constant values for the infoobjects in the data field.
After executing the DTP, if I check in the New Table of the DSO, these constant values are present. But when I activate the DSO, the values for key figures gets initialised and the values for the characterisitic becomes empty (NULL).
Is it not possible to assign values for the infoobjects in the data field? If so, why is this limitation?
Thanks in advance,
Uma

Uma,
To populate any field in the end routine, you have to assign some constant in the transformation first and then re-populate them using the end routine.
Sometimes if you dont assign any constant in transformation, the values remain initial and even after you write a code fo that field, it is not populated in the end routine.
All you have to do is assign constant 0 to the key figures you are populating in the end routine and run the DTP again.
Thanks
Sachin
