Deleting a dimension in PAS

Hi,
I have created a dimension in PAS and I mistakenely included a space in the dimension name.
As a result, I cannot delete the dimension on IDQL tab or by right clicking on it to delete. It keeps throwing an "end of line"error. This error propagates to the UI, as well as the admin interface.
I'm still using SSM 2007. 
Please, can anyone help , how can I "force" delete this dimension?
Thanks.

Hi Taariq,
There might be an easy way to do this, it depends on whether or not you have other dimensions in that PAS model with similar names.
For example, if you named your dimension 'TEST 1', you cannot issue the command
IDQL:
remove dimension 'TEST 1'
because you will get that end of line error. But you can issue a command like
IDQL:
remove dimension TEST*
This will work
If you don't have other dimensions starting with the same name, you can try this out.
Hope this helps!
BR,
Ricardo

  • How to Delete the dimension from the cube ?

    Hi ,
    how to Delete the dimension from the cube ?
    i have added the new dimension by assiging one characteristic to that dimension .
    now i  want to delete it ,
    but system saying that   Dimension ZXXX  contains InfoObjects; deletion not possible .
    how to delete it ? any help .
    Thanks

    Make sure you donot have any data in cube. If you have some data in cube, then you will not be able to see Delete option.
    Right click on the cube-->Delete data.
    Then double click on the cube>Goto Edit mode> select the IO under that Dimension> right click> now you will be able to see the Delete option (provided you have deleted all the date from Cube)
    Then right click on Dimension-->Delete

  • Is Deleting a Dimension in 11.1.1 the same as 9.3.1?

    Are these still the steps to manually delete a dimension and hack the tables in 11.1.1? Also are the table names the same if it's Oracle not SQL Server?
    Deleting an extra dimension in Planning
    In SQL Server:
         Stop Web Server
         Find the object name in the Object table by doing a query – “Where object name = dimension”
         Write down Member ID of the dimension you want to delete
         Go to "HSP_UNIQUE_NAMES" table found in SQL.
         Delete the row.
         Do a refresh
         Then delete that member in the following tables:
         HSP_MEMBER
         HSP_MRU_MEMBERS(System 9 Only)
         HSP_DIMENSION
         HSP_OBJECT
         Restart Web Server.

    Hi,
    The table structure has not changed in relation to dimensional information.

  • Delete from dimension

    Hello All,
    I need to compare my dimesnion to the fact tables that use this dimension and delete all the rows in the dimension with the Sks that are not being used on the fact tables.
    I wrote a query to get all the Sks that are not being used. Now how can I feed the output of this query to the delete statement.
    So i want to delete from dimension where Sk = result of the query.
    Any ideas of a good way of doing this ?

    zooz -
    This may help: Create a staging table that joins your fact table with your dimension or lookup table - thereby eliminating all values not in your fact table. Populate your dimension table(s) from the staging table. Truncate staging table.
    We join to most of our fact tables early in our OWB mappings to solve this problem.
    Good Luck

  • Deletion of Dimension Table data in Process Chain Step

    Hi,
    I am trying to delete the InfoCube Contents using a Process Chian.This process is successfully deleting the Fact table contents, but not dimension table contents.
    I need your help to automate the deletion of dimension table contents.
    FYI--
    We are using BW 3.0 B.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Vardhan.

    Hi
    Unfortunately is not possible. I had in the past the same issue and I had also a confirmation from SAP.
    You can use RSRV to delete unsed value, manually or build a program.
    the process chain allows only to delete the fact table.

  • Delete the dimension data

    Hi Experts,
                   How can we delete the dimension data from RSRV?
    Regards,
    Vali

    Hi,
    Apart from what is said above try this also.
    You can clean-up the dimensions in transaction RSRV with the check -> elementary tests -> transaction data -> Entries not used in the dimension of an InfoCube
    Dimension tables have a huge impact on InfoCube performance. The star schema design works best when the database can assume minimal records in the dimension tables and larger volumes in the fact table.
    Each dimension should be of approximately equal size and that the file size of each dimension should not make up more than 10 percent of the associated fact table.
    You may have performance issues when DIM tables are bigger than the FACT tables  (degenerative dimension). This can happen if you regularly delete data from the cube, because the data is only deleted in the fact-tables and not in the dimensions.
    You can clean up them using the above method.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,

  • Custom category Hierarchy setting  Deleted from dimension (0XAEWCCAT)

    Hi
    Custom category Hierarchy setting  Deleted from dimension (0XAEWCCAT) i am unable to find the hierarchy option  Data source administration in Production, all my category reports doesnu2019t  show hierarchy. In RSRT the hierarchy is fine.
    Any idea how do we get the setting back,
    I know front end content transport  from Dev will help, but we are working on some developments and donu2019t prefer transport at the moment.
    Regards,

    If I look at the available parameters in the helpfile 2 things are strange in my opinion:
    1)the parameter is called approvalstatusmsg, approval status was the V4 naming convention of the function, right now it is called workstatus, so it might be a V4 function. Never used it myself but maybe it is something not correctly migrated to v5.
    2) Even if it is working in V5, which I don't know for sure, then it is strange that you only have variables for Categroy, time and entity, since you can setup the workstatus for more then these 3 dimensions in V5 which you would also like to have in a case you set it up for more then 3 dimensions. For example for if you want to use Category,time,Entity & Product dimension in the workstatus, you would also like to inform the people which product is updated, since only just category,time and entity won't say that much.
    So I think you best check with support if this function is still usable in V5 or if it is an old function from V4. and if it is working in V5, how do you get the right parameters in the variables when you setup workstatus for other dimensions then just Category/time/Entity.
    I would like to know the results!

  • How can we delete a dimension from the classic planning applications

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to delete a dimension from the planning classic application but i am unable to find out the delete option to delete a dimension. I created the dimension from the Administration -->dimensions --> Add dimension.
    If we want to delete a dimension how we can delete that dimension, I heard meta data is stored in the RDBMS so that why if we want delete dimension we need to delete in RDBMS so please tell me the location in RDBMS to delete dimension. i am using sql is RDBMS.
    Thanks in advance......

    As John mentioned, it is not supported and advisiable to delete a dimension from Planning application. but yes you can take a chance with some risk if you need to do so.. this opertaion is tested in 9.2 but i never tried in EPM V11.
    You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
    BE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR APPLICATION BEFOREATTEMPTING THIS PROCEDURE.
    You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
    If you have the dimension in forms, you may also need to (after step 5) go into the hsp_formobj_def_mbr table and delete all references of that object ID. Then delete the dim id in thehsp_form_layout table. Recycle services of Planning.
    Procedure: If you create a custom dimension in planning and wish to delete it, here is how you might remove it from SQL manually.
    it is recommended that only someone familiar with relational databases attempt this.The following assumptions are being made about the dimension: No forms have any references to thedimension. Any and all attribute dimensions have been removed from the dimension. Any and all members have been removed from the dimension. All security access has been removed from dimension. Any Alias associated with the dimension has been removed.
    1. Open the Enterprise Manager for SQL server
    2. Open the database that has your planning application
    3. Open the table HSP_OBJECT
    4. You need to find the row that has the dimension name you want to delete:
    5. Take note of the OBJECT_ID in my example it is50051, don't delete it yet.
    6. Open the table HSP_MEMBER
    7. Find and delete any rows that have a MEMBER_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    8. Close the Table HSP_MEMBER
    9. Open the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
    10. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    11. Close the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
    12. Open the table HSP_DIMENSION
    13. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    14. Close the table HSP_DIMENSION
    15. Also delete it's reference from the HSP_UNIQUE_NAMES table.
    16. Delete the row in the HSP_OBJECT table that you found in step 4.
    17. Close the HSP_OBJECT table.
    18. Open Essbase Application Manager for the application and remove the dimension from the necessary Essbase outlines
    19. Restart the application server.
    good luck!!!

  • Deletion of dimension is getting timed out in BPC 7.0 for NW

    Hi Experts,
    We have jus implemented SAP BPC 7.0 for NW.  We have copied standard APSHELL into ZAPSHELL and created user defined type of dimension.  We never used it and so thought of deleting.  While doing so from the action pane, we are getting message like 'Failed to connect to ABAP Server' even though the status is like 'Task completed Successfully'.
    This is something strange and we see the dimension visible both in ZAPSHELL as well as in the backend system.  When we restart the server, we dont see any dimension with that name in backend but are seeing in the frontend using BPC Admin console.
    Do anyone know cause and resolution for this?
    You quick response is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ravi Kishore

    Hi,
    Thnx for the reply.
    Can you pls let me know in specific what those UJ* tables are and on what basis should I identify the dimensions.  ie. is that based on the dimension techinical name which starts with /CPMB/...
    Thanks in advance.

  • Deleting MultiCube deleted all dimension tables of underlying BaseCube

    Hello,
    I recognized that the MultiCube wasn't what I needed and decided to delete it.
    Normally, deleting a Multicube isn't a problem and it has no influence on the InfoCubes that belong to him. But now we had a bad surprise. Deleting the MultiCube stopped with error messages whicj said that some tables couldn't be deleted.
    When I examinded the table names I saw that BW tried to remove all dimension tables of one of the physically InfoCubes which belong to the MultiCube.
    I guessed that the warning wouldn't lead to a data loss but when I tried to check data directly from the physical cube I got a new error message: One of the dimesion tables are unknown. Then I tried to check all dimension tables of the cube. They are all lost
    I checked the tables in SE11 and saw that they aren't tables any more but structures.
    Any idea what could have happened in this case?

    A multi-cube is a union of basic cubes. You can cross check tables RSDCUBEMULTI or RSDICMULTIIOBJ.
    The multi-cube itself does not contain any data; rather, data reside in the basic cubes. To a user, the multi-cube is similar to a basic cube.
    You may have a look at the following tables to check the data
    /BIC/F* Info cube F-Fact table
    BIC/E* Info cube E-Fact table (compressed records)
    /BIC/D* info cube dimension tables

  • BPC 5.1 Deleted my Dimension .xls File after processing

    I have found what I think is a bug in BPC 5.1 SP3 today.  After saving my dimension file, then performing a Full Process on that dimension, the system deleted the associated .xls file.  I discovered this when I tried to make additional changes to the dimension later and got an error when I tried to maintain dimension members.  I've been making changes to other .xls dimension files and following the same procedures and this has never happened before.
    Has anyone else ever had this happen?  If so, is there anything I can do, so I don't have this problem anymore, or is this a known bug that will be fixed in later a later relaese?

    This happend to us as well, multiple times.  We are on 5.1 SP1.  We've tested a lot to determine root cause and have been unsuccessful.  Here's what I've  noticed.

  • Re aggregation when a member is deleted from dimension

    Hi All,
    I am aware that deleting a member from a non-partitioned dimension of a cube will trigger a re-aggregation.
    The behaviour I am seeing is that this re-aggregation takes as long as (slightly less) than a full initial solve. For e.g. a full initial solve takes around 30 minutes, whereas a re-aggregating the cube after a dimension member is removed takes roughly around 28 minutes. Re-aggregating the cube just after the second re-aggregation is then quick, around 2 minutes
    The member that was removed from the dimension does not have any data associated with it in the cube, so was expecting the re aggregation to be quick as it does not affect any of the existing aggregated data.
    Could someone explain this behaviour?
    The cube is compressed and is partitioned by Time Dimension. I am on Oracle 11.2.0.2
    Thanks

    There certainly can be a performance difference between 'Fast Solve' and 'Complete'. When no dimension members are changed, the fast solve will usually be quicker because it engages incremental aggregation. But your situation is different because you are adding new members. In theory this should only impact the latest partition, but it does not due to some known bugs. Here are two that I believe are relevant to your case. Neither is publicly visible at this point.
    BUG 12536825 - CHANGED RELATION WON'T RETURN THE RIGHT VALUE
    Bug 11934210 - CC USES FULL BUILD INSTEAD OF INCREMENTAL WHEN RELATION CHANGED
    The RELATION in both cases refers to the parent-child relationship in the dimension. When you add a new member to the dimension, this relation is changed. The effect of bug 12536825 is that partitions that are not really involved (because there is no data for the new member) are re-aggregated anyway. The effect of bug 11934210 is that these partitions can get fully reaggregated even no data has changed in that partition.
    These bugs are not (as of writing) fixed in any public patch, but you may be able to get a one-off fix if this is seriously impacting your performance. I would open an SR describing the problem. You can refer to my name, the bugs above, and this post so that it will be properly forwarded.
