Using PeriodToDate MDX function in an ASO cube (Dynamic Time Series)

Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2
Since ASO doesn't support Dynamic Time Series (DTS), I am trying to use the "PeriodToDate" MDX function to get MTD and YTD totals. Below is my Time dimension:
Time (Time - Stored)
...I---> 2007
......l---> Q1-2007
.........l---> Jan-2007
............l---> 2007-01-01
............l---> 2007-01-02
............l---> 2007-01-03
.........l---> Feb-2007
.........l---> Mar-2007
......l---> Q2-2007
......l---> Q3-2007
......l---> Q4-2007
Syntax:
PeriodsToDate ( [layer [, member ]] )
I tried many different ways to get the right syntax but it didn't work when I set the formula on member "2007" for YTD totals or on months to get MTD. Any help would be appreciated.

ASO does not have Dynamic Time Series at all (unless something just recently changed)
Period to date functionality has to be managed via MDX formulas and/or alternate roll ups in your time dimension.
Time Balancing does have to be a stored hierarchy, which is what you generally want anyway. The issue you have with Time balancing is that some times if you have an alternate roll up in your time dimension, it can cause problems with Time balancing.
If you want to use Time balancing, I would sugest a single stored time heriarchy and use an anakytic view dimension for the period to date functionality.
You can see a post I have on my blog that talks about this: garycris.blogspot.com
One other thing to mention. If you wan to use built in time balance functionality, you must tag a dimension as Account Type and it will have to be a dynamic dimension.

ASO Cube with BSO Partition as a Target

Hi,
Can someone please explain me the following because after reading different blogs as well as some other Essbase documents I am not able to understand,
What is the actual use of having a BSO Transparent partition (target) of an ASO cube (source)?
How exactly does the Write-Back functionality works if I have a BSO Transparent partition (target) of an ASO cube (source)?
And lastly, in what business scenario one would implement a BSO Transparent partition (target) of an ASO cube (source)?
Your help is much appreciated.
thanks,
fikes

I have a situation where I have a BSO (target) on top of an ASO (source). This was to try and resolve the dynamic time series (where time and periods are in different dimensions). The DTS works almost great in the BSO partition.
The other problem (or why we wanted to go to ASO) was that BSO cubes do not handle attributes across partitions (we have quarterly data in transparent partitions) to the target cube. -- but we do have dynamic time series.
What I'm facing now it that the attributes work in the BSO (target) except when using a dynamic time series.
The attributes are defined in both the BSO and ASO cubes.
Any suggestions on how to handle attributes AND dynamic time series ?

Can we upload data in ASO Cube version 11.1.2

Hi,
I have a requirement where in ASO cube users need the ability to enter their plan data into the ASO application. Do we need to create Transparent Partition for that. I have an ASO and Hyperion Planning cube and in my Planning cube I have more number of dimensions as compare to ASO.
Please advise
Thanks in advance.

If you are using the Excel add-in you do NOT do a lock, just a send. The lock is a BSO concept to put a hold on blocks. ASO has no blocks to lock. From smartview you do a submit and it handles it all for you. The beauty of using ASO is exactly what you mention, results are immediate without a calc.

Can we load data for all levels in ASO?

Hi All,
Im creating cube in ASO
can i load data for all levels in ASO
we can load data for all Levels In BSO but in ASO i need confirmation????
and one more
wat is the consider all levels option in ASO is used for ? wat is the purpose?
Can any one help ,it would be appriciate.
Thanks

In an ASO cube you can only load to level zero
The consider all levels if used for aggregation hints. It allows you to tell the aggregation optimizer to look at all levels when deciding if aggregation needs to be done on the dimension

Can we load data for all levels in ASO cube

Hi All,
Can we load data for all levels of members in ASO cube in 9.3.1.
Regards

Yes you can load data for all levels in an ASO cube in any version HOWEVER, none of the upper level data in any cube will be there when you look for it. You will get a warning message in the load because ASO cubes don't store data at upper levels. It is the same as loading data into dynamic calc members in BSO cube. It will do the load without compalints, but there will be no data there (At least you get the warning in ASO)

Need to convert DTS packages to SQL Server 2012 environment.

Hi Friends,
As Part of the Project Requirement,we need to convert DTS packages to SQL Server 2012 environment.
Please sugest me best approach.
Thanks

Best approach is to re-design the packages in SSIS 2012 directy if it is feasible. Because most of the DTS feaures are discontinued and also you will have to clean up all errors that you are going to get after migration.
Discontinued Integration Services Functionality in SQL Server 2012
Otherwise you need to migrate it first to 2008R2 and then 2012 version.
Below ones would be helpful for you:

[SOLVED] unable to play mp3 or flac files in mpd, .dts files play fine

I had a perfect running mpd setup before I tried to fiddle around with some dependancies to get xbmc-svn to compile without errors. I installed some AUR packages (ffmpeg-svn, x264-git, libva-sds, libvpx, libid3tag).
After that I started to experience trouble with mpd, it start fine and says it plays audio files just fine but whenever i play a mp3 or flac file the progress bar just looks like it's playing the file but I hear no sound. Whenever I play a .dts file i hear the sound correct.
I'm very curious to why this happends.
I rolled back the packages mentioned above but the issue remains unsolved.

How to add a new dimension in ASO cube without losing all data

Hi,
I have an ASO cube with 18 dimensions and I want to add a new one (regular). When I add this new dimension it asked me that the all data has to cleared before the restructure can take place. If I click yes then I would lose all data regardless of the fact if I have a level0 export or not. Because when I tried to reload the export back into the cube it gave me an error cause all the dimensions were not present in the export. Does anyone know how would I be able to accomplish this task?
Thanks
fikes

You can try this work around solution.
1) Export Lev0 data
2) Clear the cube
3) Add new dimension Regular.
4) Add a default member Reg00 in the new dimension and save.
5) Open the Lev0 data in a text editor, Insert "Reg00" in the begining of the file and Enter.
6) Lev0 file will have first record "Reg00" and the remaining export file will be from the second record.
7) Load the modified file with out rule file.
You can verify that all your history data will be loaded w.r.to the Reg00 of the New dimension Regular.

Issue with write Security filter in ASO 9.3.1

Hello All -
I'm having a strange security filter issue in system 9.3.1 ASO cube. We've the native users for the ASO cube and created several write security filters based on cost centers in that cube.
For example, the below security filter sometime works, and sometime not:
Write "Adjustments", @RELATIVE ("S532179", 0), @RELATIVE ("S587724", 0), @RELATIVE ("S525701", 0)
There are total 8 standard dimensions in the cube. I tried all possible combinations to make it work constantly, but it doesn't. Even modified the filter like below so that it has all dimensions (using LEVMBBRS, IDESCENDANTS, RELATIVE) , still users can't load data at level 0 members.
Write @LEVMBRS ("Chart of Accounts",0),@LEVMBRS ("Full Year",0),@LEVMBRS ("Business Unit",0),@LEVMBRS ("Fixed/Variable",0),@LEVMBRS ("Source",0),@LEVMBRS ("Products",0),@LEVMBRS ("Scenario",0),@LEVMBRS ("Cost Center",0)
It looks like the user and filter association is not working. If I give the user direct write access to the cube (bypassing filter totally), the users can write fine. Please help!

I didn't know that the logs didn't work; I tested it and they are not generated for ASO updates in 9.3.1. I didn't see any other setting that would cause them to be created; my guess is that the logs are created based on block manipulations that Essbase does internally using BSO. As there are no blocks in ASO then the same algorithm doesn't apply.
We log Essbase changes in our Dodeca product but we use a different algorithm. We evaluate the update in our server before committing the changes and generate a relational log that has the datapoint information plus the old value, new value and standard 'who' information for the person making the update.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

BSO to ASO Formula Conversion - Help Needed

ASO is not my forte...I am trying to get a simple formula to work in ASO cube as part of BSO->ASO conversion.
If it is level 0 entity, the formula is (Last Shipped (PU) * Part Volume)...works fine.
If its upper level, it should just sum the values of its children. The BSO equivalent that we typically use is @SUM(@CHILDREN(@CURRMBR("Entity"))).
I attempted the same in the ASO MDX script as shown below, it is not yielding me the correct result....any thoughts why this is not working?
Thanks in advance.

Member Formula*
CASE WHEN ISLEVEL(Entity.CurrentMember, 0) THEN+
Last Shipped (PU) x Part Volume+
ELSE+
SUM(Children(Entity.CurrentMember))+
END+

Have you tried specifying which measure you want it to sum?
e.g.
CASE WHEN ISLEVEL(Entity.CurrentMember, 0) THEN
Last Shipped (PU) x Part Volume
ELSE
SUM(Children(Entity.CurrentMember), [Measure].[Part Volume])
END
also I'm not sure whether the SUM is correct. This might work as it definately specifies the tuples:
SUM({Products.CurrentMember.children},[Measures].[Part Volume])
hope it helps,

Data Write to ASO cube

Hi,
Please help.
Case like that;
Base member of Period in Planning is Month as calendar, but Base member of Period in ASO cube is Week, like that:
Jan
    JanWeek1
    JanWeek2
    JanWeek3
    JanWeek4
    JanWeek5
now, need to load planning data to ASO cube as reporting.
but seems cannot directly load data from Jan in Planning to Jan in ASO cube, since Jan in ASO cube is a parent member. am i correct? what i tested in smartview is as that.
so is there any better way to do that?
Thank you.

You can go ahead with the approach of what VBajaj has said.
We have a similar process where our Plan data is 1 level higher than ASO (i., level1 of ASO is level0 of plan for most of the dimensions). So, we have created the level1 as level0 in ASO ending with _Plan and then loaded the data for those members.
From a data loading standpoint, you can just put suffix in the rule file itself.

Report script taking very long time to export in ASO

Hi All,
My report script is taking very long time to execute and finally a message appears as timed out.
I'm working on ASO Cubes and there are 14 dimensions for which i need to export all data for all the dimensions for only one version.
The data is very huge and the member count in each dimension is also huge, so which is making me difficult to export the data.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Here is a link that addresses several ways to optimize your report script. I utilize report scripts for Level 0 exports in an ASO environment as well, however the majority of our dimemsions are attribute dimensions.
These are the most effective solutions we have implemented to improve our exports via report scripts:
1. Make sure your report script is written in the order of how the Report Extractor retrieves data.
2. Supressing Zero and Missing Data
3. We use the LINK command within reports for some dimensions that are really big and pull at Level 0
4. Using Symmetric reports.
5. Breakout the exports in multiple reports.
However, you may also consider some additional solutions outlined in this link:
1. The MDX optimizing commands
2. Back end system settings

I hope this helps. Maybe posting your report script would also help users to provide feedback.
Thanks
