EAS cannot create dimension

Hi There,
I just finish 11.1.2.2 installation and configuratin using rapid deployment in two boxes -windows 2008 r2 (database server-sql server and the rest of components in another box) for dev, it went through without issue, EAS is launched fine, and I can see all sample.basic, I can create new applicaiton and database fine, however, when I go to Outline, then add child, it just hang up on me forever, essentially I have to go to task manager to kill it.
I am not using EAS web console, I am using client tool to install EAS.
This is the first time I see this, any suggestion?

Hi Donny. No, Java 7 is not supported. You aren't the first person to see this problem and find that it was related to Java version, either - Outline Editor is getting hung when I am adding a member in the outline
Good news is both 6 and 7 can be installed at the same time, and you can choose (through Control Panel | Java) to disable one or other version at different times.

Cannot create Dimensions

Hello Expert
I am not able to create dimensions under the Data source --> Amounts.
When trying to create Domensions under reference tables, the system shows a message that "it is recommended to be in exclusive mode"
Please advise if there are any settings which needs to be done.
Thanks

Hi Chintusap
Did you have created a TOP-database or a child one? You can find information in installation guide from page 51 on.
Click on the OK-button in the popup which tells recommands the exclusive mode. Then you can create your values.
Regards
Udo

Cannot create dimensions in AWMv11

Hello:
I´ve a problem with AWM 11.1.0.6.0A client and Oracle 11.1.0.6.0
I´m using the Oracle® OLAP User's Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1) B28124-02
guide.
I insatall Oracle --> OK
I created the sample schema global_11g_schema --> OK
I launch AWM, connect to GLOBAL schema and created the AW --> OK
Then, when i try to create my first dimension for the PRODUCT table i get the following exception (sorry, it´s in spanish. How could i set AWM in english?):

I also installed awm111060A_DBClient in %ORACLE_HOME%/olap, wich has a few jars, and restarted the instance, but nothing happended.
My NLS settings are:
NLS_LANGUAGE --> SPANISH

NLS_CHARACTERSET --> AL32UTF8
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE --> SPANISH
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET --> UTF8
Any idea? May i configure anymore alse on server side?
Thanks for all in advance.

You should upgrade your database to a minimum of 11.1.0.7 plus the latest Windows patchset

Cannot create MOLAP dimension - already exists

Hi, I am trying to deploy a dimension but OWB seems to think it still exists.
I get the following error :-
"Cannot create dimension STOCK_CODE.DIMENSION. AW dimension with logical name STOCK_CODE alredy exists in schema DW."
If I try to drop the dimension using Control Centre it says it doesnt exist.
The dimension did exist a while back but has been deleted.
How can I fix the metadata in OWB as it seems to have it's knickers in a twist at the moment.
Thanks
Paul

It may not be OWB that is causing the problem. The OLAP option will only allow a dimension name to be used once within a schema. What you might find is that the OLAP catalog thinks there is already a dimension with this name deployed somewhere.
You will need to check the view ALL$_OLAPDIMENSIONS to see if you have any relational dimensions that have the same name within your schema. Use the CWM2_OLAP_DIMENSION.DROP_DIMENSION to remove the dimension.
Then check the view ALL$OLAP2_AWS to see if the schema contains any AWs you were not expecting or thought were delete. If there are any rogue AWs within your schema then delete them.
I suspect you may have changed the name of your AW during the deployment and, therefore, the old AW actually still exists and this AW contains a copy of the dimension.
Hope this helps

What version of EAL have you installed, what OS + 32bit/64bit are you installing it on.
What version of the OUI did you use.
Have you gone through all the configuration steps successfully.

Cannot find object after creating dimension and cube.

I need to develop a project using olap api to get olap data.
My db release is 10.1.0.2, owb is 10.1.0.4.
After i create dimension and cube in owb, I cannot find any object i have created in owb. Except that in OEM, after i click the button dimension, there comes an message as that the dimension does not have complete metadata or was created by old release and OEM will create a metadata for it. After that, I can find the dimension in AWM and get the imformation using olap api.
However, there is no measure button in OEM, I cannot find the measures in measure folder. So that i cannot get the information of the MdmMeasureDimension using olap api.
Can somebody help me with this issue? Thanks!

With OWB 10.1 and prior releases to get OLAP metadata for a dimension or cube you must have used the OWB transfer wizard to deploy the OLAP metadata. This bridge basically creates and executes a script with all of the CWM calls to create the OLAP dimension and cube metadata.
When you deployed the dimension from OWB in 10.1 it only created the 'create dimension DDL' for the object.

David

Is it possible to create dimension roles in AWM?

Hi,
Is it possible to create dimension roles in AWM like the way we have in OWB ?
If yes, please direct on the way to do this.
Many thanks in advance for your kind inputs.
Piyush

I think what you need is to use the ALIAS option that is part of the DEFINE DIMENSION statement
DEFINE DIMENSION ALIASOF
The DEFINE DIMENSION ALIASOF command defines a dimension alias for a simple dimension. An alias dimension has the same type and values as its base dimension. Typically, you define an alias dimension when you want to dimension a variable by the same dimension twice.
Additionally, You can use a LIMIT statement to limit alias dimensions and define variables and relations using an alias dimension. However, you cannot maintain an alias dimension directly; instead you maintain its base dimension using MAINTAIN.
Syntax
DEFINE name DIMENSION ALIASOF dimension [TEMP] [AW workspace] [SESSION]
Arguments
name
The name of the object you are defining. For general information about this argument, see the main entry for the DEFINE command.
DIMENSION ALIASOF
If you look at this example if provides a great example of how to use this feature:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/olap.102/b14346/dml_x_decimal006.htm#ABC1485326
But of course the main issue here is how to generate the standard form metadata required to support this feature and make the dimension alias avaliable and visible within AWM. That is the difficult (and I would say impossible) part of the process since this feature is not supported by the AW XML API (at least I don't think it is, you could check the API docs to see if this is supported). if it is not supported then the management of this feature would all have to be controlled via OLAP DML commands (load dimension members etc) but you would still not be able to include it within a cube definition and then maintain that cube using AW XML API.
Does that help?

Error Opening Reports (Cannot find Dimension Scenario, Error executing query: the member null doesn't exist in this application)

Hello,
two of our users get the following error message, when opening two specific reports:
First Report: Cannot find Dimension Scenario.
Second Report: Error executing query: the member null doesn't exist in this application.
Other users can access these reports, and the same users where the problem occurs can access other reports in the same folder.
I set the same rights for me, but i can access the reports without problems.
Somebody encountered the same problem before?

Hi there,
I had the same issue a few weeks ago... not sure how it happened but it was related only with my username.
In order to fix it:
1. I created a report which does not require to select the scenario in advance. Try to use the default data-grid that you get when you first create a report for example.
2. When the user runs the report, try to see if he can see the dimension. Do not use the missing dimension on rows or columns. If he can see the dimension, ask him to select one scenario. This will solve the issue.
3. If he cannot see the dimension, try to change the layout of the report.
Regards,
Thanos

You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID

I am dumping my Android and getting an IPhone to go along with my IPad, primarily because of the ICloud and the ease of synching all my mail, contacts etc. My original Apple ID was my gmail address. I now have the @me.com address when I put IOS 5 on my iPad. I want to dump gmail and just have one email address...the @me.com address. When I set up iCloud, I used the @me.com address. When I try to change my Apple ID to the @me.com address from the gmail address, I get this message "You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID". Any ideas?

I also have the same problem. Is there a solution?

"The system cannot create journal template"

While creating the journal template for my legalapplication using wizard i get the following error
"The system cannot create journal template"
am using category, group and time as my header dimension --
group dimension contains the LC.
please suggest what steps can be taken. Also while trying to access journal from etools we get the message journal not found.
Thanks

Hi Andy,
Please check how many sheets are in a default excel workbook on your client. If less than three, BPC fails to create the journal template. If that's the case, try setting default number of worksheets to 3, then retry journal template creation.
If the above is not the issue, then you'll have to check that reporting services is working correctly. As a first step, go to http://<app server name>/reportserver (or reportserver$<instancename> if you are using a reporting services instance and left it with the default name)
If that page compiles and shows without error, then try http://<app server name>/ reports (or reports$<instance name>) If that one also compiles/doesn't give errors, then reporting services is working.

Users cannot process dimensions

Hi everybody,
We are working on SAP BPC NW version 7.0, SP05 and we cannot process dimensions, unless we use a specific user (the only one that appears at UJA_SVR_DEFAULT table). If we try to process a dimension with another user, the following message appears: Unexpected error in application server
What do we have to change in order a user created at BPC Admin can process dimensions?
Any idea out there?
Thanks a lot in advance for your support,
Albert Mas

Hi Nilanjan,
We have created users with the following roles:
TEAMS -
> ADMIN
TASK PROFILES -
> FULL_TSK
where FULL_TSK has enabled AccessContentLib,WebAdmin,AdminJournal,Application,Appset,Business Rules, VreateJournal,DefineSecurity,Dimension, Execute, GeneralAdmin,LiveReport,Lockings,ManageAudit,ManageContentLib,ManageDistributor,CreateWebpage,ManageTemplate, Misc, PostJournals,PrimaryAdmin,PublishOffline,ReviewJournals,SetWorkStatus,SubmitData, TeamLeadAdmin,UnpostJournals,eAnalyze,Update to company folder, ManageLiveReport,ManageComments,AddComment,AuditReport,CommentReport,WorkStatusReport,SecurityReport
MEMBER ACCESS PROFILES --> AdminMbrAccPrf, FULL_MBR
As there is no protected dimension for the application, the table at the second step when you modify each Member Access Profile, is empty.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Albert Mas

Cannot create additional user in Essbase Adminstration Services

I have created the admin user in Admin Services but cannot create any additional users; the option to "create user" is grayed out. It doesn't allow me to use the wizard as well. Can anybody tell me what the problem is and how to resolve it.

First if you have created the Admin user when you first installed Hyperion, you can't create another user Admin user on the same server. Second, if you created the Admin user without supervisor or create/delete users privileges you can't create other users if you logged in with this user. You mentioned the create/delete is grayed out that means you don't have privileges to create or delete a user if you logged in with that user.
Also, you may have a problem with your EAS, so try using MaxL or ESSCMD to create users and assign them to groups, check the Tech reference for more details:
create user Guest identified by 'password' member of group Visitors;

CREATE DIMENSION SKIP WHEN NULL Syntax

I noticed in Oracle 11GR2 that the CREATE DIMENSION has been enhanced to include a SKIP WHEN NULL option. Do anyone know the behaviour of this option as the documentation is relatively light?
Thanks John

I thought it was quite well described in the documentation...

level_clause
The level_clause defines a level in the dimension. A level defines dimension hierarchies and attributes.
level Specify the name of the level.
level_table . level_column Specify the columns in the level. You can specify up to 32 columns. The tables you specify in this clause must already exist.
SKIP WHEN NULL Specify this clause to indicate that if the specified level is NULL, then the level is to be skipped. This clause lets you preserve the hierarchical chain of parent-child relationship by an alternative path that skips over the specified level. See hierarchy_clause .
Restrictions on Dimension Level Columns Dimension level columns are subject to the following restrictions:
All of the columns in a level must come from the same table.
If columns in different levels come from different tables, then you must specify the dimension_join_clause.
The set of columns you specify must be unique to this level.
The columns you specify cannot be specified in any other dimension.
Each level_column must be non-null unless the level is specified with SKIP WHEN NULL. The non-null columns need not have NOT NULL constraints. The column for which you specify SKIP WHEN NULL cannot have a NOT NULL constraint).

Question about Create Dimension

Good morning,
I am reading the Oracle Concepts document and on page 4-22 it presents a "CREATE DIMENSION" statement used to create the "customers_dim" dimension in the sample schema SH.
The statement presented is:
CREATE DIMENSION customers_dim
   LEVEL customer IS (customers.cust_id)
   LEVEL city IS (customers.cust_city)
   LEVEL state IS (customers.cust_state_province)
   LEVEL country IS (countries.country_id)
   LEVEL subregion IS (countries.country_subregion)
   LEVEL region IS (countries.country_region)
   HIERARCHY geog_rollup (
     customer CHILD OF
     city CHILD OF
     state CHILD OF
     country CHILD OF
     subregion CHILD OF
     region
JOIN KEY (customers.country_id) REFERENCES country )
ATTRIBUTE customer DETERMINES
    (cust_first_name, cust_last_name, cust_gender,
    cust_marital_status, cust_year_of_birth,
    cust_income_level, cust_credit_limit)
ATTRIBUTE country DETERMINES (countries.country_name);When I issued the above statement (verbatim from the document), I got the following error:
SQL> @customers_dim
LEVEL customer IS (customers.cust_id)
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-30371: column cannot define a level in more than one dimensionI found the following using Google:
Cause:     A column was used in the definition of a level after it had already
        been used to define a level in a different dimension.But, I don't see how the cust_id is defining a level in more than one dimension. There is probably a trivial error someplace but, I don't know enough yet about dimensions to figure it out.
Help is appreciated, thank you,
John.

SB and Hoek,
Thank you both. :)
I will give Dion Cho's version in PL/SQL a try :)
For those that might be interested, Dion Cho posted this link:
http://yong321.freeshell.org/freeware/Windowsoerr.htmlwhere you can get the *nix version which is a perl script. If you are on Windows and don't want to depend on perl and/or CIGWIN, the script can be compiled using perl2exe (as Yong Huang - the author - suggests on his web page).

Not sure where it is documented, but you can not calculate what you are fixing on. To me it seems a bit odd, but I believe the logic is, if it is sparese and you are fixing on it, how can you fix on what might not be there? If it is sparse, fix on all the other sparse dimensions thenFix (....) CYG_BILAN ( CYG_BILAN = ....; )EndFiX;Also, if it sparse, make sure the block exists (either datacopy data into it or set 'CREATE BLOCK ON EQUATION' on - I tend to copy data into it).If it is dense, you wouldn't want to fix on it anyway.Rich SullivanBeacon Analytics
