Dimension Build Problems

Even the simplest dimension build rules files are not working for me. For example, I set up a test cube and tried to load 2 lines to a product dimension and it would not work. Is it possible that something is enabled/disabled that would cause this? I am at a loss, as the dimbuild.err file is not working either so I cant got there for guidance.

HI Dan,
1. When you say not working , what error do you get and when you start your build process( you need to set the file location for the .err file).
2. Can you give more details like the data file and your current outline,along with build information too.

Dimension Build problem - Child Memeber with no Parent???

Seems so obvious but I can't see what I'm missing...

That is currently the utility I'm using, I was hoping there was a way to extract using MAXL??
are you using dimension load option? (by default data load) - yes
did you selected products dimension while setting " use level reference"? - yes
Did you selected "remove unspecified" in dimension build setting? If yes, "None" parent record exist before child record in source file? - "remove unspecified", does this remove items in the dimension not specific to the load?

Dynamic Dimension Building Problem

Hi I am trying to build dimensions dynamicaly, I am getting a warning stating " your outline has generated warnings indicating possible erroneous calculations...."The member is defined as a Dynamic Calc member and has more than 100 children"My question is there any limit for the no. of children to any dynamic calc members. Is there any way to increase that number.Thanks

And somewhere along the way, Hyperion changed the way this was handled.. At one point, this would cause a data load to be considered partially successful by Essbase. Then Essbase was changed so that this error was ignored by the dimbuild process. I don't remember the version.. probably somewhere around version 6.0 or 6.1..?

Essbase 11.1.2.1 - Dimension build problem, OCI and SQL...

When retrieving SQL data in Data Prep editor, field names are replaced with SQL View field names.
From what I can find this was supposed to be fixed in the patch for 11.1.2, can anyone confirm or deny that...
Is this only a problem with OCI and ODBC connections?
Any help would be appreciated.
Adam,

We are experiencing all of the defects:
Defects Fixed in this Patch

Problem with dimension build

I am trying to build dimensions for a bso cube using Maxl in version 11. I have both the rules file and the textfile in the server. But I am getting the following error.
import database 'CNFIN1'.'CNGL' dimensions from data_file 'G:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bcpfiles\CNFIN1\CNMarket.txt' using rules_file 'G:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\app\CNFIN1\CNGL\GLMktD.rul' on error write to 'G:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\log\CNFIN1\CNGL\MktD.err';

Guys can you help me..Thanks in advance

First, have you tested this build manually through EAS? Confirm that you can run the dim build manually to eliminate the load rule as a variable that is causing the problem.
Next, below is a new version of the mxl statement that should work. I altered the syntax to use a server rules_file because the load rule is store in the db directory and you do not need to reference the path or file extension. Also, the backslash is a special character in mxl and needs to be preceded by a backslash. Mxl interprets two backslashes as one.
import database 'CNFIN1'.'CNGL' dimensions from data_file 'G:\\Hyperion\\products\\Essbase\\EssbaseServer\\bcpfiles\\CNFIN1\\CNMarket.txt' using server rules_file 'GLMktD' on error write to 'G:\\Hyperion\\products\\Essbase\\EssbaseServer\\log\\CNFIN1\\CNGL\\MktD.err';
Good Luck!

Essbase 11.1.2 dimension build slow

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone has had similar problems or ideas of how to solve the problem I have.
We've recently migrated to Essbase 11.1.2 running on some big SPARC 64 bit servers and everything is going well.
We have a problem with dimension builds though. They work, just very slowly taking sometimes over a minute to build a dimension with just 10-20 members in it. With 22 dimensions to build it is taking over 20 minutes to build our dimensions - much more time then loading the gigabytes of data after and this is making the overnight process slower.
The model was migrated from 11.1.1.2 and we converted the outline. The dimension builds on the old server were 4 minutes. The old rules files are still used but as a test I tried creating a new rules file in the same application to load the meta data from a text file instead of an Oracle SQL server but the same problem exists.
We use deferred restructure on an ASO model but the restructure is fine - just the 'BuildDimFile' session runs for over a minute and then starts again for over a minute for the next dim build. Number of members seems to make no difference be it 10 or so to 60,000.
Has anyone got any ideas why or seen similar? Or should I really move out of the dark ages and learn Essbase Studio!
Thanks for your help,
Dan

It seems to be related to the number of dimensions.
I tried creating a basic outline, two dimensions and loaded with a basic rules file. Took 8 seconds in total, no problem.
I then tried copying in one of the existing rules files that builds a dimension with four members. Still no problem.
I then went to the existing outline and deleted all but two dimensions and tried rebuilding with the rules file - it is still quick. I then added the dimensions back, by typing them, all as stored with no members underneath and it suddenly jumps to 40 seconds (of which 30 sec for the dimension build time, 10 sec for the restructure) using the same rules file and data. I'd expect the restructure time to go up, but not the build time.
Possibly unrelated - EAS often produces an error message when loading an outline stating that I have -1536 MB memory free and the outline is 0 MB do I still wish to load?

MAXL - using multiple Dimension build rules in single script...

I seem to be having problems running multiple Dimension build rules in a single MAXL script, is this a known problem or just an issue that I'm having? The build rules independently work as designed but when joined into a single script the script hangs...
So, this is a 2 part question...
1) Does MAXL not play nice when using multiple Dimension load rules in a single script?
2) Do I need to run the build rules independent of each other?
Also, is there some type of refresh/update on the cube that you can use in the script and would it be necessary...?
Thanks for any light you can shed on the issue.
Adam,

I've written multiple dimension build statements as a part of 1 long MaxL statement. I'm executing this MaxL via a shell script (that replaces the variables such as username, password, servername, file path etc.) I've not seen any issues doing so.
However, I've noted that, number of imports statements in 1 single MaxL command does not bode well for more than *60* import statements at once. So, if you're using more than 60 source files to build your dimensions, please consider breaking up your MaxL into multiple statements.
Note: All but last of the import statements have 'deferred' re-structure specified. It speeds up the build process.

ASO Dimension building slow

Hi all,
We just switched from BSO cubes to ASO cubes and found that building complete dimensions (parent child) takes much longer than building BSO dimensions.
We use the same loadrules as we used for the BSO cubes.
Is this normal?
Is there any way to speed up the dimension building?
Your help is much appreciated!
rgds,
Rudy

Thanks very much guys,
this info will definitely help us come to an optimized approach.
btw, since rebuilding all dimension in BSO wasn't any problem I'll now also spend some thoughts on rebuilding only those dimensions that have actually changed.
No reason to rebuild if nothing has changed, right...<@Cameron,
We went for this approach because we don't want the business users to manually change the outline.
So we created an dimension maintenance GUI on a sql table that can be maintained by the business users. That way we're able to load all dimension from sql.
It has its downside when it comes to e.g. member formulas, but as this more of an administrator task, it's no problem, as we're able to set which dimension should be fully rebuild/resorted.
Now we have one ODI scenario that's able to load to any essbase cube (ASO and BSO), fully parameterized. IT definitely works great!

No valid Dimension Build Fields

Hi, could you guys give me a little help?
I'm running a load rule that execute a select on a view. The load rule has 4 columns, and the outline also has 4 columns.
Col1 - Pointer
Col2 - Pointer
Col3 - Pointer
Col4 - Data Field
I execute the load rule and the same returns the error "No valid Dimension Build Fields" at error file.
What could be happenning for Essbase return that error?
Thanks in advanced.

You mean Field Properties screen?
If yes, I checked each column for their equal at Data Load Properties tab.
And marking "Data field" at Data Load Properties tab for the column that have all the variables.
I don't know if it make any difference, I copied this load rule from another application. Both applications have the same outline. The only difference is that the select commands are in other tables.
App1
Rul1 -> select on table1
App2
Rul(the one I'm having problem) -> select on table2
Another detail, I'm running the load rule with "Update outline" at "Outline" menu in the "File bar".

OC4J 10.1.3 production: Build problem Adventure Builder 1.0.1 using EJB 3.0

Hi all,
I tried to use the migration to EJB 3.0 of the Adventure Builder 1.01 from Debu Panda and had some build problems.
Does anybody know if this demo was tested with the production version of 10.1.3?
I used the standalone version and had to tweak a lot of entries in ant-oracle.xml.
Is it possible that the migration was done with a preview release? Have there been so many changes? I had to include a bunch of additional JARs e.g ${J2EE_HOME}/lib/adminclient.jar, ${ORACLE_HOME}/webservices/lib/wsclient.jar. ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/xmlparserv2.jar
and others.
Also I had to change some task definitions as I guess that the contents of ${ORACLE_HOME}/j2ee/utilities/ant-oracle-classes.jar must have changed...
If I did not do something terribly wrong it would be nice if you could update the example to save other people from this nightmare of running from one build error to the next!
Regards,
Eric

Hi Debu,
thanks for your reply. I've used an previously installed ant 1.6.5 from ant.apache.org, but I don't think this should matter, or?
As far as I could see one of the problems is related to the version of ant-oracle-classes.jar in ${ORACLE_HOME}/j2ee/utilities which the example relies on.
In the adventure builder ant-oracle.xml you'll find task definitions like that:
taskdef resource="oracle/ant/taskdefs/deploy/antlib.xml" uri="http://www.oracle.com/ant/taskdefs" loaderRef="oracle.tasks.loader">which does not match with what one can find in ${ORACLE_HOME}/j2ee/utilities/ant-oracle-classes.jar
So from my point of view this has to be changed to
<taskdef resource="oracle/antlib.xml" uri="antlib:oracle" loaderRef="oracle.tasks.loader">I also had to change some libs... That's why I thought this example was made and tested with an earlier version of oc4j 10.1.3 (maybe a preview version).
Regards,
Eric

Application Builder problem on one server but not another

I am having an Application Builder problem. When I get into App Express and go inside the builder and try to edit a listed application, I get an “http 404 the page cannot be found. The page might have had its name changed or is temporarily unavailable” situation. I can get into SQL commands, utilities, and administrative activities. I can also run the application. Also, if I go onto a different server with App Express on it, I can get into the builder and edit applications with no trouble. Our DBA had the server in question rebooted a little over a week ago and that took care of the problem for a couple days. Any ideas? Is this an Express problem or a server problem? He had also tried restarting Express before he had the reboot done and that didn’t help.
Thank you for any help.
Cordially,
Robert J. Smith

I have messages from the Apache error log files from the dates I was getting the builder error. For future reference, I will post them below. The builder has been working fine lately.

How to use Dimension Build to change member property?

Hello,
I have researched online on how to do this and I think i have an understanding but I cannot get it to work. My dimension build rules file is of type Parent Child. The fields are Parent, Child, Alias. I am looking to add a Property field to change the consolidation property to - for one member. I have checked off all the options required and tried several different ways but always come with the following error on that line.
\\Record #95 - Child Member - with no parent (3331)
P&L - ACC OPERATING Operating Expenses -
order is:
Parent Child Alias Property
What i want to do is assign the - subtraction for consolidation on the OPERATING member. Can this be done with the Parent Child type dimension build? Could this be achieved automatically in another way?
Thanks
Alex

Hey guys, thanks for the tips. The source file is tab delimited. I made sure there was a tab between Operating Expenses and the - for subtractions. The lines look like so.
REV_PROJ PS100001 - ACC PS100001 - ACC_PS-M9 Revenue Settlement
REV_PROJ SC100000 - ACC SC100000 - ACC_SCS Revenue Settlement
P&L - ACC OPERATING Operating Expenses -
OPERATING LABOR Labour
LABOR PAYROLL Payroll related
I know they don't show the tab but it's there. I have the field set to Property for Account_Desc (Dimension im updating in the outline) with a value of 0. I have also checked off "Delete when the field is empty" as to not change the consolidation on the other lines. i guess i need to figure out why it's treating the final "-" as a member and not as a part of the same line holding it's property. Is there a EOL delimiter i should be setting?
thanks again

Dimension Build - Change Member Names

Does anybody know if there is a way to revise outline member names through a load rule without affecting (losing) the data associated with those members? I have a .txt file with the current parent names, child names, aliases, properties, formulas, attributes and UDAs for the Products dimension. I would like to revise all of the level 0 member names without having to do so manually in the outline. Any help would be appreciated.

You can do this a couple of different ways.You can go into the outline itself through app manager, and witht he FILE drop down, update the outline at that point using your load rule.You could also automate this function with an esscomand script preforming and incremental dimension build (INCBUILDDIM).Randy Rehmer, Cincinnati Bell
