Drill Through - Essabse and FDMEE

All,
I am currently working on EPM 11.1.2.3. Testing the Drill through feature of FDMEE from Essbase (Smart View Interface). The source is a flat file. In the application setting i have selected the Drill Region as "Yes".
When I try to drill the cell imported from smart view I encounter an error stating "No Drill through reports found at this location"
Any idea on this
Thanks in advance

I take it the export stage in FDMEE was successful and data has loaded to Essbase, what type of mappings have to applied, drill-through will not work with like mappings yet and explicit will need to be used.
Cheers

Essbase Studio Drill-through for Recursive Hierarchy - Generation 1

I'm using Essbase Studio 11.1.2.3 to build an ASO cube. All my hierarchies are recursive (parent-child). I would like to define a drill-through report and I understand that I have to use the Advanced Settings option to specify my intersections. Now one of my dimensions is optional for the users - they don't have to specify a member (they can leave it at the highest level - dimension name on the spreadsheet). Under 'Advanced Settings' for DT report in Studio I have to specify a Generation value of 2 or greater than 2. How do I enable drill through in cells where one of the dimension is at Gen1 ? Specifying the level number didn't work. I think if you specify Level in 'Advanced Settings', drill through is allowed only if that specified level of the dimension is chosen, if Gen 2 is specified, then drill through is allowed as long as the dimension-members specified are at or above Gen2. But what about Gen1?

Yep, this is a limitation. I suggest you create two reports one that takes your "optional" dimension out and a second one that has it in. if they don't need the dimension, select the first report and if they need the filter then the second. I m always a little leery with recursive hierarchies and Gen 2 or 3 sine they create a list of level 0 members under the selection in the query and there are limits to the number of members in an in clause and at high levels in the hierarchy it is easy to surpass it (In Oracle it is 1000 members)

Drill-through via Transparent Partition

Hi
I am using Essbase Server and EIS 11.1.1. I have a ASO target cube which points to different ASO source cubes partitioned on dates. Each source cube has defined a drill-through report and this drill-through reports work fine if I access them directly from Excel add-in. But when I access these source cubes via my target cube (transparent partition) drill-through reports don't work (no visual effect on intersection cells). When I double click on them I cannot see my drill-through reports. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here please? According to documentation, I should be able to drill-through via tranparent partioned target cube.
Regards
Chandra

Thank you for the reply but Essbase Studio does NOT support drill-through from Recursive Hierarchy dimensions. That's why I had to go back to EIS.

EIS drill through report build

Hi, I want to create multiple drill through reports using EIS. But looks like I need to create all the required reports before I build and load the cube. Once I have built the cube using EIS, I cannot go in the metaoutline and add new drill through reports. Is this true, or am I missing something? So whenever I need to add new reports for drill through, do I need to build the cube all over again? Thanks RMP

No, you can open your metaoutline and build your drill through report and then run an update that just refreshes the drill through reports without having to rebuild or reload the cube.

Essbase Studio - SmartView - Drill Through Error

Hello!
I'm creating a drill through report using Essbase Studio 11.1.1.2. Built the Context, the Report Content and Associations. Perform an ad-hoc analysis via SmartView. Perform a Hyperion | Drill Through Reports and the follow error occurs:
Unable to list Essbase Studio Drill Through Reports : Error in the statement interpret. Line = 1109
Anyone know what causes this and how to resolve it?
Thanks,
Bob

The issue was due to using transformations to prefix characters to ids. The drill through couldn't resolve the cube member name to the data in the tables.
For example, if your source data for your accounts table has an member id of 1, 2, 3 etc. But you use a prefix of A in transformation to build the member in Essbase (A1, A2, A3, etc.), drill through can't resolve it. Drill through is going back to the table and searching for A1, A2 or A3. The table has 1, 2, or 3. A string is not a number, that's the error that basically occurs.
Solution - I updated my tables to have the prefixes (and data types) and removed the transformations. That way when drilling, the Essbase member matches up with the table id.
Thanks,
Bob

EIS Drill Through Essnet error message.

We are using EIS to anable drill through from Excel. I've just set up some new drill through reports, and they work fine except when you try and drill through at GEN 1 on a particular sparse dimension. The dimension isn't specified in the "OLAP intersections Levels" as we want the report to show all results for that dimension.
The error message that gets returned is {ESSNET MESSAGE} - in a box with ESSDTU in the left hand corner.
Thanks
Paul

You are saying the dynamic query was generated, did you copy the query and tried to execute it in the database client. Check the SQl for any errors and also in the did you see any SQL errors?

Drill through reort parameter are not getting refreshed

Hi I have created one drill through report. The functionality is like this I have main report and when I click on value of report that value get passed to drill through report and report displays based on parameter passed.
But now the porblem is if I change the parameter value and click on view report button the reort with updated parameter values doesnt display on report pan. I see old parameter values on screen. Please note that this is multi value parameter.
can some body help me with this issue.
For example
I have created report with parameter Country with multiple values set to true. Through main parameter I am passing America and I get reports based on parameter value America now on second report when I changes the values of country parameter America to Canada
it doest get refreshed at all. I get same value in Country parameter.

Hi Swapnil,
According to your description, you have a drill through report. After you click and pass a report to the target, it will not update the records if you change values in parameter selection. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why the target report doesn't update records because you don't specify the available values for parameter in target report. So it can only receive the value passed from source report. For this issue, you just need to specify
the Available Values for the parameter in target report. Don's set the Default Values for parameter. Otherwise it can't get value passed from source report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Drill-Through Report automation through VBA

Hi,
I've been making macros using standard VBA functions in Excel Essbase. For this, I've been using functions defined in essxlvba.txt.
My Essbase database has linked objects which gives the transaction level data for selected cells.
If I call EssMenuVLinkedObjects function, the control gets passed the linked object window and this needs to be controlled manually. Which defeats my purpose of automation of drill-through retrieval. I'm searching for functions using which I should be able to bypass the Linked-Object window and Drill-Through window and get the desired data. This is because I've to retrieve huge amount of data and I want to eliminate any manual steps.
I've been exploring Oracle website and found that there are Visual Basic Main API Functions and I tried to explore them also but I could not find various constants and structure declaration.
Please help.
Subhash.

The VB Main API declarations (including functions, constants and structures) are in a file named esb32.bas. This will be in a subdirectory on the client named \api\include - exact location depends on your version.
I've never tried automating the execution of drill-through reports, so I'm afraid I can't help on the specifics.
Just a thought though - if you need to pull a 'huge amount of data' and want to do this without manual intervention, Essbase drill-through might not be most suitable mechanism. It sounds more suited to a relational extract / query tool.

EIS - Fact Tables, Drill Through Reports & User Defined SQL

I have built a model using two factables. (Virtually one table as the two are combined in the OLAP Model.) I then built my metaoutline and I have specified an ASO cube. I built the cube and the drill through reports and then tried to load the cube.
Intially the standard SQL generated no records. I tweeked it a bit and it then loaded. However, once I tweeked the SQL I could not get any drill through reports.
Does anyone know how the SQL for the drill through reports is populated? Does it run off the user defined SQL?

I've figured it out. FYI to those curious.
The SQL for the drill through reports are specified on how the model is set up. The User Defined SQL is only for the data load.

EIS Drill through reports should be disabled at #MISSING data cell

Hi,
I have working on Oracle Essbase Integration server(EIS) 11.1.1.3. I have developed the 2 drill-through reports.
Every thing is working fine. Using smart view, users are able to access the drill-through report.
As an another requirement, if there is no data(#MISSING) for any member combination in Essbase, Drill through report should not be enabled for this combination in smartview at retrieve.
How can I handle this requirement? In OLAP Intersection levels, only dimensions’slevel/generation can be specified.
Please help me on this. It is very urgent for us. Quick help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Hi Gary,
I think its the latter. I've been asked on more thant one project to code things that prevent users from doing things that otherwise wouldn't make sense to do. Within the last year I was actually asked to configure things "as if I was providing functionality for 2 ^nd^ graders". At least, based on experience, this is how I relate to the OP's request.
I agree, its absolutely silly (and frustrating ) that users would try to drill through on a #missing cell and not see anything. What's worse, depending on where the drill through goes, and how its set up, users might drill on #Missing and actually see data! Yikes! Now in an experiential sense, the users can expect to see data where data ought not be.
So sometimes its just easier to just remove the button altogether than to have to explain when and why it can be used, and why when it's not used that way it did what it did. And users being part of the driver behind project requirements, don't want to hear "because you're not supposed to".
Hopefully the OP will clarify and we can provide what s/he's looking for.

Robb Salzmann

Drill-Through reports in EIS 7.1.X

Hi, We had some problem migrating to EIS 7.1 from 6.5.4. EIS seems to ignore all the dimension tables defined in the model whenever executing the drill-through reports, and only using fields in fact table in the "where" clause. The same report/"intersection points" works perfectly in 6.5.4.

Hi, I am also facing few issues related to AIS: I am unable to use Drill Through (1) Smart View: It is asking for Connections and i am unable toprovide Shared Services Provider Information. It throws an error.In case i use URL as add feature then it asks for credential butstill no luck (2) Then i tried to used Add-In Excel and (This is my 1st time):When i double click on the data figure based on Intersaction leveli defined, it is taking me LRO's and now i don't know hoe toproceed further Can anybody help me?

EIS Template SQL Drill through

Has anyone been able to successfully use the template SQL drill through option in EIS? It seems that any modification to the default code only results in the error message "No display columns defined for a selected report". Maybe I'm missing something fundamental but can't get anything from the limited documentation. Without the paramaterization clauses, the SQL executes fine in a native query tool.

Maybe I could state my issue another way.
The reason I wanted to pass a data value to the drill through report is to utilize the Filter security defined in Essbase. If the user has access to an intersection point that has data, then the drill through should execute.
The security hole is when a user doesn't have access to an intersection point, they can still execute a drill through report and get to the detail. This does require a sophisticated user. I know you can apply security to the SQL data source and require a log in with the drill through, but I was hoping to avoid that mess.
Thanks,
Scot

HFM Drill Through FDMEE

Dear all,
perhaps one of you guys can help me here.
I am struggeling around with the HFM (11.1.2.3.500.17) to FDMEE drill through functionality. As far as I was told the only thing you need to set up ist the FDMAppName in HFM Application Settings and that's it.
But: what is actually the App Name in FDMEE? The Application Root Folder determined in the FDMEE application settings or the target HFM application?
Second question: I have tried both, but still I do not get the drill through option offered when right-clicking an input cell in HFM. May I have missed another setting somewhere?
Your help is much appreciated!
Phil

Hi SH,
Thanks your prompt and helpful reply! Now it works.
Reason was: FDMEE - Setup - Target Application - Application Options - Drill Region was set to "No". Changed it to Yes. That was it actually.
FDMAppName within HFM Application settings has, as you said, apparently no effect in combination with FDMEE.
Best Regards
Phil

Drill through from Smartview to FDMEE

Hi
I have loaded data from FDMEE to Essbase using file as a source it sucessfully done i am able to see data in Essbase also.
for Drill Through Option i have done below options
In Target Applications in Dimension Details i have selected Create Drill Region
and In Application options i have selected Drill Region
I have connected to Smart View and selected the data cell tried for Drill through from there to FDMEE then i am getting error No Drill through reports found at this location.
Can any one help me for Drill through option in FDMEE

Check in EAS drill regions created by FDMEE:
- Right-Click on the database and choose to edit drill through definitions
Then Delete the current drill region definition and save. You can Re-run the export/load from FDM to re-create the drill regions.
