EPMA Essbase BSO cube with text measures

Hi everybody ,
I am using Oracle EPM 11.1.2.2
I am trying to deploy a essbase BSO cube with text measures from EPMA. In EPMA the text list has to be created as a smartlist dimension. I have even kept the Account member with data type as Text as the first level 0 member of the Account hierarchy.
When I am deploying am gettting no error . In EAS when I see the property of the member it shows as Text and also with the text list attached to it . But When I load data , the data also gets loaded and gives no error.
But when am viewing the data through Smart View or through HFR , the data is displayed as numbers and not as text.
Kindly help .
regards,
SS

I can see that it is working with EPMA Essbase too, (nothing wrong there, with EPMA)
Is there any member with a member formula, where you are getting numbers.
If that is the case then text list will not work there. I remember raising a bug for this when text list was introduced for the first time. If that is the case, then you might have to wait till next release (11.1.2.3) where I heard for the first time solve order is coming to BSO (I could be wrong here.)

Essbase BSO cube from EPMA

Dear all,
I have an essbase BSO cube. The cube is refreshed from EPMA.
It was working fine. But after making some changes (add members), the deployment was being aborted with the following message.
Error.
Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
Caused by: Failed to build Essbase cube dimension: (XX_MONTHS) .
Caused by: Cannot end stream build. Essbase Error(1007083): Dimension build failed. Error code [1060056]. Check the server log file and the dimension build error file for possible additional info.

Thanks and Regards,

Error 1060056 usually tells you that generation or level with the same name already exists. So check whether you have same member names across/within the dimension.

EPMA - Essbase BSO application - UDA problem

Hi
we have a shared hierarchy in EPMA which we are using to maintain the Dimensions in the applications.
Among the dimensions that I need in the Essbase BSO application - two of them have specific UDAs assigned to them. (two for each member in these dimensions - UDAs can be common between the dimensions)
Dimension_A
--Member_A1 (UDAx, UDAy)
--Member_A2 (UDAp,UDAq)
Dimension_B
--Member_B1 (UDAx, UDAy)
--Member_B2 (UDAp, UDAq)
UDA
--UDAx
--UDAy
--UDAp
--UDAq
But when I deploy the application I am only seeing one UDA getting updated into the Essbase Outline (am checking via EAS)
Dimension_A
--Member_A1 (UDAx)
--Member_A2 (UDAp)
Dimension_B
--Member_B1 (UDAx)
--Member_B2 (UDAp)
I don't know why it is not updating the outline correctly - can anybody suggest what the problem might be ?
I have tried redeploying multiple times / deleting the dimensions adding them again / even deployed a new application from scratch - no luck.
Regards
Ankur

I tried even in another environment - had the UDA dimension from the Shared Library - and another local dimension.
Just added multiple UDAs to the same member of the Local dimension and deployed the application - but in the Essbase application it only updated the first UDA that I had assigned to these members.
For e.g. I added 3 UDAs to
MemberX : Check1, Check2 & Check 3
MemberY : Check3, Check1 & Check 2
But it only updated the first UDA in each
MemberX : Check1
MemberY : Check3
Is there any setting that I am missing ? in EPMA or in Essbase.
Not sure about EPMA but I don't remember any setting that we need to configure in Essbase for multiple UDAs (it always accepts multiple UDAs)

EPMA Application Deployment Error (Essbase BSO cube)

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the EPMA application & I am getting the following error:
Success.
\\Record #8797 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member %_to Sales (3320)
\\Record #8797 - No time dimension defined
Stat Accounts + S T Stat Reps + X T %_to Sales ~ X F E T "\"5500"->\"YearTotal\"/\"Sales\"->\"YearTotal\" ;" % to Sales % to Sales
\\Record #8799 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member Margin_Inc% (3320)
\\Record #8799 - No time dimension defined
Stat Accounts + S T Stat Reps + X T Margin_Inc% + X A E T "\"Margin\"/ \"Sales\";"
I am trying to tag the account members %_to Sales & Margin_Inc% as TB Average, If I change that property to None, I don't get these errors & everything deploys without any error. Post deployment if I go in the outline & try to assign TB average directly in EAS I am able to do that without any errors.
I am on EPMA 11.1.2.1, this error is not occuring in Planning application but in BSO Essbase cube in EPMA
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Sorry - reread your post and follow that it is an EPMA BSO app, not planning. Can you try placing the Period dimension before the Account dimension in order and seeing if it deploys? I know that's not ideal, but just as a test. You may want to read the very end of this possibly related post:

Drill Across Essbase/Multidimensional cubes with a conformed dimension

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any ideas/pointers on how to implement drill across on Essbase cubes or Multidimensional sources in general.
For Eg:
Cube 1 with aggregate data at Country Level
Cube 2 with detail data at City Level
Geography is the conformed dimension here.
I need to implement drill across from the Country level in the Geography Hierarchy to go to the City level, across cubes. Facing a problem desinging it in the BMM.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
jboy

We're discussing this already in your other thread? Different drill paths for a common Essbase Dimension with varied depth
Close this one please...not necessary.

Querying Essbase text measures via Oracle BI direct database request

Hi,
There is a text measure in an Essbase database. The same MDX query shows text values when executed directly in Essbase or in SmartView and numeric codes when executed via Oracle BI Direct Database Request interface.
Is it possible to show text values in OBIEE?
(Versions: Oracle BI 10.1.3.4 & Essbase 11.1.1.2)
Thanks in advance and best regards

I'm sorry if my description looks cryptic.
There are no problems with alias tables or SmartView., I'll try to explain the problem better.
In Essbase there is a text measure "Code" and a text list "Code_Values" which contains text values for this measure:
1 - AA
2 - BB
3 - CC
4 - DD
Let there be an MDX query 'SELECT ON COLUMNS, [DIM1].Members ON ROWS FROM [APP].[DB]'.
When such query is run in Essbase Administration Services Console, it returns the following table, which is the desired behaviour:
DIM1 Code
0100     AA
0200     BB
0300     CC
0400     DD
When it is run as a Direct Database Request in Oracle BI Answers, it returns only numeric values, but not the text values from "Code_Values":
DIM1 Code
0100     1
0200     2
0300     3
0400     4
So, the question is: is there any way to achieve desired behaviour using Oracle BI Answers?

Financial Reports with Date measures are showing data one day less

Hello,
I am running a financial report off of an ASO cube with type measures enabled. However, when i run the report in FR, that date data coming out is 1 day less...for eg 04/30/2012 comes out as 04/29/2012.
however, when i run the same ad-hoc report via smart view, it is fine and the date comes out as expected. this is happening only in FR.
Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.
Thank you...

I'm not sure what version you are running, but this was determined to be a bug that was fixed in 11.1.2.
Although not pretty, you can add a similarly named dynamic member that will advance your date for you that you could use in FRS. You could use the DateRoll function: DateRoll ([Date Dimension], DP_DAY, 1 ). Just an idea.

Export - import between ASO and BSO cubes of different structure

Hi everybody!
I have a 'large' ASO cube with information for a period of several years.
I need to be able to load a smaller slice (e.g. one quarter) from the 'large' cube into a BSO cube with a different (simpler) structure , perform calculations and then load the updated data back to the 'large' ASO cube.
What's the best way to approach this (import - export)?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi GlennS,
Hello and thank you again for the help.
I'm running version 9.3.1
The ASO cube has 12 dimensions plus 8 attribute dimensions.
The BSO cube - 8 dimensions plus 2 attribute dimensions.
Data size:
The ASO cube is about 1 GB, about 16 M input level cells. Only about 10 % of it will be extracted and loaded into the BSO cube.
The BSO cube is ~ 300 MB fully calculated. 300,000 existing blocks
I prefer not to load the BSO cube from the same source as because ASO cube contains not only the source data, but also modifications - for example - allocations etc. I would like to keep these modifications and to be able to load (modified) data to BSO, make additional modifications and then 'save' the modified data back to the ASO.
How should I approach loading data back to the ASO? I will need to 'replace' a slice of ASO cube - delete the 'old version' cells and load new version from the BSO cube.
Thanks,
Alex

Solve cube, solve single measures in a cibe

We are using OWB 10gR2, having an AW cube with two measures, one has the solve option YES, the other has NO (in the Aggregator tab of the cube editor).
Now we were trying the following: When loading the cube using a mapping with the cube operator, we used for the cube operator option "Solve the cube" YES the first time and NO the second time (cleaning the cube in between, of course). The first time ALL measures have been solved, the second time NONE of them has been solved. What should be the effect of specifying different solve options for measure in a cube? The values of this option seem to be ignored anyway. Is it not possible to solve one measures and not to solve another in the same cube???
By the way, in beta releases the two option values were "on load" and "on demand", instead of "YES" and "NO" we have in 10gR2. Comparing the 10R2 and the beta releases, has more been changed than the labels? Is the intended semantic still "on load" and "on demand"?
A lot of questions! Can anybody help on that topic? Thanks!

With non-compressed cubes it is possible to solve one measure and not another. You will need the latest database patch also for this (10.2.0.2, bug 4550247 has details for 10.1 patch) for it to work properly. In the production release of OWB this should be operating, I think there were issues in the betas.
The options on measures for solve indicate which measures will be included in the primary solve. The solve indicator on the cube operator in the map however indicates whether this solve will be executed or not. So the map can just load data or load and solve the data. There is a transformation function for executing solves, so solves can be scheduled independently from loading. Its also possible to solve measures independently from each other using this function (WB_OLAP_AW_PRECOMPUTE).
Hope this helps.

Cannot Delete / Validate / Deploy Essbase (BSO) application [EPMA]

Hi All,
I deployed a Essbase BSO application from EPMA (11.1.2.1) and got a successful result. I have made a minor change and want to deploy the application again but all the options for Duplicate / Delete / Validate / Deploy / Compare are disabled.
I have tried this on two separate instances with the same result.
- I have restarted the services already.I also ensured that no ESSSVR service was running when I had shutdown all the services.
- I have also checked the timeout period to ensure that it is not a timeout issue.
Does anyone have any clue as to why this might be happening. I was given a suggestion that the Relational Schema for EPMA might have certain flags that may be blocking this. Any ideas on which tables / columns I should look at?
Shehzad

First check the application diagnostics to see if anyting is amiss. Go to Application Library, right-click on the application and selecxt "Diagnostics".
Run all the diagnostics. If a diagnostic test fails, Performance Management Architecxt provides an automated solution or manual steps to resolve the problem. Your security role must be EPMA Administrator to run them. Which also makes me think that it's possible that your security has been changed so you no longer have access to the app. Has someone changed your security? Did you create the app under a different ID?

Connect BSO cube through EPMA

Hi All,
I have a requirement to deploy a BSO cube from EPMA. I already have this particular cube in EAS and now I need to connect it through EPMA so that we can update members among multiple apps at a time and deploy them instead of manually updating each app in Essbase.
Is there a wizard or utility, where we can convert the existing outline from Essbase in to ads file format and to load it back into EPMA for the deployment? please let me know..
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reply John!
Are there any specific concerns or issues by building BSO cubes thorugh EPMA?
we often copy a hierarchy of metadata for a dimension from one application in to other 2 application in EAS. So, we thought enabling these BSO cubes from EPMA should help so that we can keep those apps in sync directly instead of manually coping them everyday into the apps in EAS.
In EPMA, lets say in the Master library I have
Entity(level2)
100(level1)
100-10(level0)
100-20 (level0)
and in the applkication library i.e for BSO, I need to have
Entity(level1)
100-10(level0)
100-20(level0)
and I do not want 100 in app library.
Is there a way to keep them in sync automatic instead of manually synchronizing them?
Thanks a lot!!

Essbase cubes with different levels of detail - OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on LINUX

Hi all,
I have BSO and ASO cubes which contain broadly the same information, but with the ASO cube at much higher detail. For simplicity sake, they only have 1 dimension, and 1 fact. The dimension a date and is structured like:
Gen2 = year
Gen3 = year & quarter
Gen4 = year & month
Gen5 = year, month & day
Only the ASO cube has Gen5. the BSO cube only has the information to Gen4 level.
I've imported them both into the RPD and dragged the ASO cube across into the BMM. and then taken the fact column from the BSO cube and dropped it onto the BMM, selected its new source ( the BSO cube ) and set the
Content tab and set the logical level as Gen4.
I then dragged the key items from the BSO date hierachy onto the date dimension in the BMM.
I purposely had a slightly different date hierachy and data content in the 2 cubes so I could tell where it was getting the data from.
If I select the year only...it gets the value from the BSO, and if I drill down to quarter and month it also gets the dates from the BSO cube.
If I select the data fact, it will switch to the ASO cube and retrieve the value from there.
Same applies if I select just the year - data comes in from the ASO cube.
So my question is this, how do I get it to select the data facts from the less detailed cube when the details is not required and only switch to the ASO cube when the extra detail is needed?
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Data fact with 2 sources, where source 1 & 2 have differing levels of detail, it always seems to take the data from the more detailed source

Integrating Essbase cubes with Oracle Tables in BI Server

I'm trying to link together data from an aggregated Essbase Cube with some static table data from our oracle system. Both the essbase and oracle data exist correctly in their own right in the physical, business and presentation levels. Aggragted data is client sales, static data is client details
Within the OBIEE Administration tool I've tried to drag the physical oracle table for clients onto the clients essbase section in the business area, and it seems to work OK, until you try and report on them together and I get the following error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
Can anyone advise on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Thanks Christian I found some very useful articles (one or two by you) - I'll have to look harder on the net before posting.
One thing I found out, with respect to vertical federation, that others may benefit from, is that I fuond it much easier to start from the most detailed level and then attach the less detailed source rather start with the less detailed and add the additional on.
