EIS drill through - transactional data

Currently on Essbase 6.5.4.We currently have a need to be able to "drill down" to General Ledger transactional data that is stored in our data warehouse. (i.e A/P trasactions etc..) Is this possble through EIS without having to populate Essbase outlines or Essbase data via EIS?Thank You

You can do it two ways. 1) Through EIS drill-through. This will allow you to pull in other information that isn't or can't be in the outline (like adresses, product owner...). The draw back is that it produces an unstructured output and support is not universal. 2) Hybrid Analysis. This is for mor granular data that you do not want to load into Essbase. The dimensional members will be in Essbase, but the data will only reside in your source system. You can now have a significantly larger/more granular outline without impacting load and calc times. The drawback is that it is an extension of the cube and must be constrained by the dimensions (can not bring in other types of data that is not in the Essbase outline).Rich [email protected]

How to filter records in EIS drill through using template SQL

Hi,
I'm looking for an option to filter records in EIS drill through using Template SQL.
For eg: If we user runs drill through on 2011, it should restrict display of Jan & Feb and should display records for other months.
I tried using NOT IN clause, but got an error.
Can any one help me in understanding how this needs to be defined in template SQL
Thanks in advance

Hi Glenn,
I'm able to filter the records for specific periods.
However, I'm facing another problem now.
When I try to run drill through I get 'OLAP_error (1192025): Unknown Error: Not a valid Entry' error.
This is happening when I include condition as ((($$ab.ACCOUNT_CODE-COLUMN $$) IN ($$Account-VALUE$$)))
Here, ACCOUNT_CODE is field from Account dimension table and 'Account' is the name of the dimension.
If I remove this statement and run drill through, it runs but shows data for all accounts (irrespective of the Account selected)resulting in incorrect data.
Our RDBMS is Oracle. Can you please help me with this
Thanks

EIS drill through reports in Analyzer

I'm having trouble pulling SQL drill through reports defined in EIS when using Analyzer. I can pull the report when I'm in Excel, but when I go into Analyzer and double click, I get the related content box to open, but no links to the drill through report. I did some searching on the Hyperion support site and found an entry in the knowledge base that said the Grid API option had to be turned on for this functionality to work. Of course there was no mention of how to turn the Grid API on and I have not been successful in finding anything in the install guide or the admin guide. I'm using Essbase 7.1.5 with EIS 7.1.2 and Analyzer 7.2.5. Is anyone using Analyzer to successfully pull EIS drill through reports? Did you have to turn on the Grid API option? How is this feature turned on? Or, any other suggestions? TIA

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?

Template SQL for EIS Drill-Through

I am trying to figure out the command that I need to add to my template SQL in an EIS drill-through report that will exclude all rows that have a 0 value in my data column when the report is executed. Does anyone have an example of how this can be done?

The $$dimension-COLUMN$$ represents the column that contains your member name in your table and the $$dimension-MEMBERCOLUMN$$ represents the member.
When you run the drill-through report the $$dimension-MEMBERCOLUMN$$ will be replaced by the member referenced in the cross-section.
e.g. if you launch your drill-though on a cell where the product ID is 100-10 then the drill-though will only pull out data for product 100-10
SELECT......WHERE SKU IN (100-10)

Problem with EIS drill through reporting

Hello, Please help me with this. We are using Drill Through reports with EIS 7.1 and Essbase 7.1 in AIX environment. (These are the IBMDB2 Olap versions, not directly from Hyperion.)

Normally if the drill through report fetches a wrong combination of members or huge amount of members than the way it was designed in the Drill through Report template. The database may fail due to improper query. Check the database and table status. Also fetch the report with proper combination of members.

EIS drill-through performance is slow!!!!

take out the _nospam for email responses....my problem is I'm having horrible performance on an EIS drill-through (SQL 2000 repository). For a query that takes 17 seconds to execute from query analyzer (and from EIS as I can see in the logfile), it takes approx 15 minutes to return the recordset back to the Excel add-in. Is this a bug? It appears that there are hundreds of unnecessary queries being executed after the actual data retrieval that is causing the slowdown.

We did see this at a client but the problem has since been fixed; we are not doing the EIS work, but I could ask around to see if there was anything specifid they did to fix the issue..Another symptom we saw at that client is that it took 2-3 minutes to open a modest sized outline built with EIS.. Do you see the same issue?Tim TowApplied OLAP, Inc

EIS Drill-Through to Transactional Data

Hi!Is there a quick way to retrieve transactional fact data(non-summarized)from the fact table when drilling through in the Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in ? Have set up a drill through report through EIS, but it doesn't retrieve fact table columns even though the Template SQL was modified. Thanks in advance

We have two SQL tables, Detail and Summary. In EIS, our Model has both tabels joined as the fact table. When you create the Drill Thru report you select the fields from the Detail table but the SQL logic still looks at the summary table. Note for excel, when you drill thru make sure each record in detail is unique or excel will suppress. we had to add a field to get all record to display in excel.

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.
regards,
Robb Salzmann

*****EIS : Drill through Report Error while excel data retre

Dear All,
could you please help me in the below error . When i tried to get the drill through reports in excel add-in ,
i am getting the below error . When i had look into EIS log, its generating dynamic query for this drill through reports .
[NCR][ODBC Teradata][Teradata Database] Syntax error- expected something between the word '<<Databasename>>' and the word 'ai'.Unable to get catalog string.
Thanks in advance .

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?

EIS Drill Through Reports

Hi,
Working with Drill Through reports on essbase 9.3.1. I have defined 10 drill thru reports in EIS because of mulitple hierarchies in some dimensions that needed to be specified. I created 1 from scratch and then copied it and modified OLAP intersections as needed, typically it was just 1 dimension that I needed to delete and re-add using a different child.
Some simple drill thru retrievals are working just fine, while others are causing me to receive an error...
{ESSNET MESSAGE} Network error [10054]: Cannot Send Data
Why would some report retrievals work, and others get this message?
Any ideas?
TIA,
Robert

Not a problem.. http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.com/2007/12/essbase-api-error-fix-geeky.html
Remember, you have to reboot the machine(s) where you make changes for them to take effect.. If your EIS server is also Windows (and on a different server), do the same thing there.
We see this issue all the time with the Outline Extractor as it makes many, many requests to the Essbase server (and each one uses a port that is not released by Windows for some time).. In fact, I am currently writing some new caching functionality into our Dodeca-Essbase server and am putting a configurable delay into the code so the code doesn't call the server too quickly (but, of course, this is something that runs in the background, so performance isn't a huge issue in that case)..
Let us know if it fixes your issue.

EIS Drill Through

Trying to get functionality to drill through essbase cubes that include a transparent partition.Part of main cube sources data from a second cube that has a drill through report to the source data created and functions.

Main cube has 2 more dimensions the second cube where the data actually resides.Does EIS and transparen partitions play together?

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.

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.

EIS - Drill through columns

Hello, your help is appreciated! What is the difference between the columns assigned as Drill through in the OLAP model and the Drill Through columns in the report? I am asking this question because I learnt that we cannot mention Fact table dimension columns as Drill through, however we can use those columns in the reports. Also I am able to use the certain columns in the reports though i am not mentioning them as Drill through in the model, why is that? Thanks 

We ran into this problem a while ago. It seems that after 10 columns, formatting get really odd. We submited it as a bug a number of months ago.Glenn S.Narratus [email protected]
