Dim adapter for Essbase

Also can we see data in Dim Adapters or not..

DIM itself as an Oracle product had its last release in 11.1.1 (see the 'Statement of Direction' linked in this Proactive Support blog entry: https://blogs.oracle.com/proactivesupportEPM/entry/statements_of_direction_for_epm).
However, the Essbase adapter continues to ship (or at least, it is still in the 11.1.2.3 documentation).  But I don't think the adapter itself has been updated since 11.1.1.
Since DIM the integration tool itself is now out of Premier support, I can't see why you would want to use it unless you are a dedicated Informatica shop (DIM is just Informatica under an OEM agreement).  ODI is the Oracle replacement.
If Oracle really are still shipping the adapter, I am confused as to whether or not Oracle would still support a problem with the adapter if used with a non-DIM product (i.e. Informatica).  And if I really needed an answer to that, I would talk to Oracle support directly.
I worked at an Informatica shop a couple of years ago and they were keen to use the adapters, but we went with 'native' techniques like DATAEXPORT plus ODI for things like Planning metadata management.  My recollection is that using DIM didn't abstract away from Essbase very far (still had to create load rules, for example) but abstracted away just enough to place annoying limitations on what you could do if you know Essbase well.  For example, the data load wouldn't permit a slice load to ASO (if I recall correctly) which would be a show-stopper in some applications.

    Hi all,
    I have installed Informatica 8.6.1 and Hyperion DIM adapter for Essbase 11.1.1.1.
    I have followed all the installation procedure correctly like registering with the registry and registering the plug in with the Informatica repository and setting up the class path variables.
    Still I am unable to see the option 'Import from Hyperion Essbase' in the Informatica source and target designer.
    Am I missing any steps or any other suggestions? Thanks...

    Hi,

  • Illegal Operation when attempting to define a DIM Source/Target for Essbase

    We have installed the Hyperion DIM adapter and got past errors finding HASClient.dll when starting Designer.
    In Workflow we have defined a data source for Essbase. When attempting to define a new source from 'Hyperion Essbase'. The application pops up an error dialogue stating that HASClient.dll has performed an illegal operation.
    Have double checked the environment variables and they look OK. Anyone any idea what might have gone wrong? We already have Hyperion Planning adapters running fine, it's just the Essbase adapters giving problems.

    We solved the problem by reviewing and correcting some environment variables that had been wrongly adjusted on previous product installs.
    We stripped back the environment variables and then built new ones in line with the [DIM 11.1.1.2 Installation Instructions|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/dim_11111_install.pdf]

  • ODI adapter for Hyperion Performance Scorecard

    Hi,
    Does any of you know if ODI got an adapter for Hyperion Performance Scorecard? I know that there's Essbase and Planning adapters, but can't seem to find one for Scorecard.

    Hi Gerd,
    There is no HPS KM for ODI. HPS has a native load utlity that can be used and called from ODI.

  • Wrong 'mini dvi to video' adapter for my 12" Powerbook 1.33

    I recently bought the M9319 mini dvi - video adapter for my 12" Powerbook 1.33 to find that the mini dvi on the adapter is a different size to the one on the computer and the adapters supplied with the computer.
    I've been doing a bit of research into this and it seems a bit of a grey area. Apple have not made it clear in advertising this product that it is only suitable for the newest 12" Powerbooks and even state that it will work with a 1.33 machine in their following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86507
    Has anyone had a similar experience, or suggest an alternative product that will work? Did Apple make an older version that works with the 1.33?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Graeme.

    Just took the adapter to my local Apple store and they identified it as a mini VGA to video adapter - not what it said on the packaging!
    I've noticed a few posts with this problem, so just double check before you leave the store that the packaging matches the product.

  • Apple dvi to video adapter for macpro working?

    hallo,
    is it possible to use the adapter for the geforce 7300 in the macpro for pal video output? will it work? the apple store lists the adapter only for g5 and mini, but i see no reason, why it shoud not work with the gforce...
    any idea? thank you.

    macpro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I have wondered about that G5 support since others have had bad luck with Nvidia boards and the video adapter. e.g. it doesn't work with the 7800GT, which is a G5 board. All current ATI cards on their web-site show support for it but the MacPro card is not on ATI's site.
    The adapter seems to have disappeared from the displays section of the Apple Store.
    Another option is a VGA to video adapter
    <http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/PC-TVvideoadapter.html>
    It costs more, but does a lot more, and should work with any video card.
