Dimension load

I want to load dimension members into EPMA from a csv file, can someone show me a sample csv file to load entity dimension members? The next is a sample I am thinking:
!Hierarchies=Entity
'Parent,Child
#root,Entity_[None]
#root,Regional
Regional,UnitedStates
UnitedStates,California
California,Sunnyvale
California,FosterCity
UnitedStates,Connecticut
Connecticut,Stamford
I feel I lose something, but I cannot find what I lost, please advise, thanks!

Hi,
If you have a look in your planning installation directory :- Hyperion\products\Planning\bin\sampleapp there is a file called SampApp Source Flat File.ads
This file will give you a good indication to how the format should look for epma.

Essbase substitution variable used for SQL Dimension load-URGENT

Hi All,
I am creating one dimension through SQL Dimension load rule writing by parent child build rule. The SQL query is like below---
distinct trim(dist_mobile),trim(ret_mobile) from dist_retailer al1 where al1.proc_dt=to_date(&Proc_date,'dd/mm/yyyy')
When I fixed the value of proc_date (e.g.- '27/09/2008') then it is retrieving data properly, but when I try to make the same as a essbase variable as shown above (to give user the priviledge to select for which date data will be fetched from RDBMS to create the dim) and after setting the aforesaid value of that variable in essbase subs var screen and click 'OK/Retrieve' in rule,it is returning no rows executing the query as well as no error coming.
I guess in query nothing is wrong but the subs variable part is not working. Can anybody please give some insight to resolve the problem.
In this context, I would like to mention that I will have to use substitution variable in some other rule file also to automate the load process. How can I use essbase subs variable in SQL load rule? Could you please show me a proper summarise query illustrating how to use the subs var in aforesaid purpose for the sake of understanding?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Sorry for delayed response. Appreciate your inputs. At last I have found out the solution which is as below----
distinct trim(dist_mobile),trim(ret_mobile) from dist_retailer al1 where al1.proc_dt=to_date('&Proc_Dt','dd/mm/yyyy')
after setting the substitution variable as Proc_Dt and set the value as 27/09/2008 (without any quotation mark or such sign) now I checked and now it is retrieving fine.
Thanks & Regards.

WFP Dimension loads in planning

should the employee and entity dimension loaded every month as part of actual data loads or should they be loaded only at the begining of the planning cycle ?
What happens if the 2 cycles overlap
if planning cycle is jun - jul (12 mths) will the delivered business rules still work or do we have to modify them.

Hi,
1. I think you need to re-explain your issue.
2. I understand that employee is a custom dimension.
3. You would not be loading actual data at the beginning of the cycle, it depends again. Let me explain you . Initially, you plan something for the coming year and planners enter data montly or so.
4. After a period of time , you would be interested in knowing , how exactly your plan is near reality. Here, we load actuals data ( might be from Oracle GL..etc) and now we are in a position to do variance analysis - actuall data vs plan.
5. You need to explain with an example , when you say 2 cycles overlap.
6. Business Rules are written in a manner that they are scalable and not to be modified

Issue Importing measures against dimensions loaded via SSIS

Hi,
We are new to BPC and currently working in a test environment. We are having issues with importing measure data against dimensions that we are attempting to automate via SSIS. I will apologize in advance for the long post, but want to give as many details as possible.
Here is the scenario:
We installed BPC v. 5.1 SP1 on SQL Server 2005, but have since installed SP2 and SP3.
We created our own app set as a copy of AppShell. We added some user defined dimensions and created a custom application as a copy of Finance.
For initial testing, we loaded members into all dimensions via the Admin console and the Excel member sheets. We also used the Import function in data manager to upload measure data into our custom application.
We are now trying to automate the population of members for some of our dimensions (Entity and 4 user defined dimensions).
All of our data is mastered in SAP (we're on ERP 2005/ECC 6.0) with replications to our BI system (7.0). We are using custom ABAP programs to create flat files for 3 of the dimensions. For 2 dimensions, we are extracting from BI via Open hub.
We have created SSIS packages to load data from the files into the relevant mbr tables. We're taking things one step at a time and currently are processing the dimensions manually via the Admin Console - making sure that "Process members from member sheet" is unchecked.
In our first attempts at loading dimension data via the SSIS package, we tried loading only a subset of the member data (forgetting about the measure data that had previously been loaded). Because we were missing members in the load files for which measure data existed, we received data integrity errors upon processing the dimensions. Once we loaded the full member data, the dimensions processed successfully.
Our issue comes now when we're again importing measure data. Before starting to "automate" our dimensions, I had successfully loaded several months worth of measures. I had also tested clearing out one month of data. Now, I am trying to reload that month of measure data. I am using the same file as I had used previously, but the Import function is now rejecting all records. The dimension members it is rejecting are valid dimension members, but they are all from dimensions we are attempting to automate.
Has anyone encountered an issue like this before? Even if you haven't, do you have any thoughts on what our issue might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Shannon

There actually could be a couple different things. The processing of the dimension could have encountered an error and therefore did not update the sql dim table association with the dimension. You should check to see if the dimDIMENSION sql table actual have any members in it and if the members you are trying to load to are there. If there were any errors in processing the mbr table the dim table will be empty.
Also the automated update could have added extra character to the member name such as a trailing space which would actually make the dimension member name different than what is in the membersheet.
In your automated dimension update, it would be a good idea to update the membersheet as well as the mbr sql table. Then you can process the dimension from the sheet in the admin tool to troubleshoot any errors in your memberset.

Dimension loading-Type 2 with a sequence in source

Hi all,
I have a table (staging) and its primary key is populated by a sequence defined in OWB.
This table is used as a source for the Dimension-Type 2 SCD.
Dimension and Mapping to populate it were deployed fine and the initial set of rows were populated to the dim table.
Now,
with a change in the values of the Source table (those coresponding to triggering columns in Dim)....I have executed the mapping and not able to see SCD behaviour as epected
just I gave it a try by inserting a
new row manually(without sequence for primary...I have inserted a manually) in staging,executed it--->got one row in target as expected
Changed the triggering col values ----->I can see the SCD behaviour.
Why is this happening?
Are the sequences that I defined for staging table avoiding to load the Type2 dimension?
Could you please help!Its very urgent issue.
Thanks
Sridh

Hi All,
I have found the problem...
Sequence is not the culprit...In the staging table properties,the Match by constraint option is by default set to 'ALL_CONSTARINTS'...i have reset to 'NO_CONSTRAINTS' and the dimension is loading fine...
Thanks

Members rejected during dimension load

Hi,
I am trying to deploy an application from Essbase studio. It loads few members and rejects few members. And it does not load any member to scenario and Version dimensions. I have the source in Parent, child relationship and the top most parent being #root for every dimension.
And when I preview the hierarchy, it shows in correct parent child relationship. But after the cube deploy, in the outline it is in random order. All parents are created under the dimension itself. And the error during cube deploy in Essbase studio is

If you look at the Error record it says you have same member/alias twice, check the source and see if you have special characters?
Also check for duplicate members.

Dimension load thru Interface tables

Hi,
I have a generic type dimension with its members in interface tables (member, property, propertyarray and hierarchy). All the three dimensions im_load_info, im_dimension and im_dimension_association have relevant data and i_Load_ID in im_Load_info table has a value say 1. This 1 has been mentioned in the rest 2 tables also.
Now, while I am creating a profile for interface table, it is asking for interface load id but in the right side "find" icon, I cannot see any load_id and in fact, I am getting an error message that no load_id is present in the interface tables.
Please suggest if anything else needs to be done to view the load id during creation of the profile.
I am using 11.1.1.3.
Thanks.

Hey Guys,
Is there any update on this?
Thanks.

SCD 2 Dimension Load is Inserting with every load..

Hi,
We are using OWB Client 10.2.0.3.33 and OWB repository 10.2.0.3.0.
We are trying to load the customer dimension (SCD 2), but with every load a new record is getting inserted into the dimension even if no change is being made to the trigger history columns.
Is it a bug? Can any one provide any insights into this.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Jörg,
The same mapping is working fine in the development environment but its working differently in Test and Production. So, I have checked the nls_lang settings and now both the source system and repository have the same nls_language setting, but still the problem is present.
Can you please suggest any thing else to look for?

Dimension load through sql script generated by AWM

Hi,
I have taken the script which AWM has generated while loading a dimenson. I created it as a procedure in the schema where the AW having this dimension exists. The procedure works well when executed in this schema.
Now I want to load the dimension through other schema by executing the procedure. I did following to achieve this:-
1) Grant execute on the procedure is given to new schema
2) Grant all on aw$<aw name>(dim exits in this AW) to the new schema
When I try to run the procedure this give me following error:
Successoracle.AWXML.AWException: Action BUILDDATABASE failed on object XPRO_OLAP_WH.XPRO_OLAP_WH
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Brijesh

Which version?
If 11g, try the following too.
a) use object security (available via awm, right click on dimension and select object security) to give access to dimension for other schema
b) use keyword "AUTHID CURRENT_USER" in pl/sql package/procedure definition.
c)
grant OLAP_USER to <new_schema>;
grant OLAP_XS_ADMIN to <new_schema>;
Try a), b) first. Failing that, try a), b) and c).

Dimension load in ESSBASE 7.1 with ASO option can't be done

Hi,I use Essbase server 7.1 with Essbase Administration Services 7.1.0. (I don't use Integration Services). My operating system: Windows 2000 SP4.If application is created as "Block storage" then in Outline menu exist "Update outline" option and outline can be updated with new members from rules file.But if applicaiton is created as "Aggregate storage server" (ASO) option then "Update outline" disapears from Outline menu. My question: How to add new members to cube (update outline) with Administration Services Console?Thanks,Grofaty

Try "Load Data" with "Modify outline" checked and "Load Data" unchecked. Point to your dim build file and the appropriate load rule. Be aware that a change to the outline in ASO results in all data being discarded. With ASO, the assumption is that you will completely rebuild dims and data each time you load (ie: no Incrementals)

Loading Attribute Dimension - Hyperion Planning

Hello Everyone,
I appreciated a lot informations that I found here. I red the http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/11/odi-series-loading-essbase-metadata.html
about loading attribute dimension on Essbase, but when I try to execute the same steps using Hyperion Planning Adapter in ODI, I cannot see the option inside the model to reverse also all dimension attribute, hence I cannot load members on my dimension attribute. Do you know how can I develop the attribute dimension load on Hyperion Planning?
Regards,
Wallace Galvão
Brazil

Hi,
You first need to create the attribute dimension in planning, ODI does not create dimensions.
Once you have created your attribute dimension you can reverse the planning application again and the attribute dimension should be created as a DataStore
Cheers

SCD2 dimensions wrong behavior: same business identifiers on same load

Hello,
We have the requisite (that I would consider normal on a DW project) of keeping history of all the changes that might occur to a specific field on the same day. This field loads into a scd type 2 attribute on a dimension.
Since I have daily loads on my DW, it could happen that, in the same load, different rows with the same business keys exist.
Consider the following scenario:
Table A: id (business identifier), event, dt_event
Table A loads into DIM_A: sk (surrogate key), id, event (trigger history), dt_begin(effective date), dt_end(expiration date)
First Load:
Table A:
1, 'OPEN_PROCESS', '01-06-2008 09:00:00'
1, 'CLOSE_PROCESS', '01-06-2008 15:00:00'
Dimension DIM_A:
1, 1, 'OPEN_PROCESS', '01-06-2008 09:00:00', '01-06-2008 08:59:59' <- Shouldn't be '01-06-2008 14:59:59'?
1, 1, 'CLOSE_PROCESS', '01-06-2008 15:00:00', NULL
Second Load:
Table A
1, 'REOPEN_PROCESS', '02-06-2008 14:00:00'
1, 'CLOSE_PROCESS', '02-06-2008 15:00:00'
Dimension DIM_A:
1, 1, 'OPEN_PROCESS', '01-06-2008 09:00:00', '01-06-2008 08:59:59'
2, 1, 'CLOSE_PROCESS', '01-06-2008 15:00:00', NULL
5, 1, 'REOPEN_PROCESS', '02-06-2008 14:00:00', '02-06-2008 13:59:59' <- Same issue with dates?
where's the new record? I should have 4 registers by now...
The row with sk=2 was updated twice on the last load: first it was updated with a new dt_end (as it should be) and next it was updated once again, keeping dt_end to a null value and sk=2 as my up to date record.
What I would like to have at the end of the second load is something like this:
1, 1, 'OPEN_PROCESS', '01-06-2008 09:00:00', '01-06-2008 14:59:59'
2, 1, 'CLOSE_PROCESS', '01-06-2008 15:00:00', '02-06-2008 13:59:59'
5, 1, 'REOPEN_PROCESS', '02-06-2008 14:00:00', '02-06-2008 14:59:59'
6, 1, 'CLOSE_PROCESS', '02-06-2008 15:00:00', NULL
What can I do to achieve this? Is this a problem with the dimension operator? Has anyone have any issues like this before?
Thank you for all your comments on this.
Regards,
Bruno

Thinking off the top of my head for a possible workaround, perhaps you could use an analytic function to partition the input data set
e.g.
1) Use something like ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY id ORDER BY dt_event ASC) to create a COLUMN data_partition
2) Add a filter to the DIMENSION load that will accept parameter P_DATA_PARTITION and have condition WHERE data_partition = P_DATA_PARTITION. This way you can run dimension load and load first set of changes, then second set etc.
3) Set up a process flow that will run dimension load X number of times with parameter P_DATA_PARTITION = 1 to X. Perhaps you can use the FOR LOOP operator in the Process Flow (I haven't used it so not sure)?
It's not ideal as you're running the same code several times (overhead) and also you need to fix the number of times it runs, unless you can use a function to determine this and pass into FOR LOOP.
Hope this is of some use.

Loading relational dimension into AW

Hi, I'm trying to create my first AW from a relational model (using the AW wizard). I actually sent the script to a file so I could run things manually to see where the problem is.
Everything works fine for populating the first 4 dimensions, all of which are pretty small (< 300 members each).
However, when I get to the "ownership" dimension, which has about 250,000 members in it, the session just seems to hang on the following call:
execute DBMS_AWM.REFRESH_AWDIMENSION('POWELS10', 'RMGMT', 'RMGMT1OWNERSHIP', 'TESTFri Oct 15 15:34:22 EDT 2004');
This has been running for at least an hour. Is that typical performance? I remember Express being MUCH faster than this - what can be happening?
Thanks,
Scott
p.s. I'm not sure how to even debug this, there doesn't seem to be a log file like the Express Administrator data loads used to generate to show how much data has been read. About the only thing I've been able to find was the v$aw_calc view, which shows these statistics:
aggregate cache hits / misses: 0 / 0
session cache hits / misses: 0 / 0
pool hits / misses: 39,658,051 / 1,130,980
pool new pages: 1,132,276
pool reclaimed pages: 0
cache writes: 1,150
pool size: 2,048
Why has a simple dimension load generated almost 40 million hits against the pool?
Thanks!
Scott

Hi John,
Yes, i am trying to load "Saved Assumption" against the UDA column. I tried using one more column with Account_Type specifying as "Saved Assumption". Here i need to have the UDA also as "Saved Assumption". But the error result was same.
Cannot load dimension member, error message is: java.lang.RuntimeException: The specified UDA "Saved Assumption" is not defined.
I would like to communicate few more as per my requirement;
1. I have created the Single currency application, which was fine.
2. By default i have Account, Period, Year, Scenario, Entity, Version. Later i added custom dimensions like BU, Product in Planning.
3. First dimension (with members) which i was trying to load was Account.
When i reversed the planning application in ODI models. I got one additional Column called UDA which is not in the dimension liast. If i would require UDA's to be added to the account, do i need to define the required UDA's using ODI to Planning? If so, can you please guide me?
Thanks
