Hi,
Iam trying to load metadata to EPMA shared library through interface tables. was able to load everything except the shared members. I checked with IsPrimary value and set it to N/0 values also kept datastorage type to shareData. But still not getting updated. Import result gives the follwoing warning.
"The import section 'Hierarchies' contains multiple primary instances of member '698035' in dimension 'Account_Shared'. Only the first instance will be processed"
Please help me out.
thanks,

am still not able to sort out the above problem. can some one please help me to load shared members to EPMA shared library ?

Load Bulk shared members in EPMA

Hi,
We need to develop the process to be able to load members in bulk, thus manual addition will not help. I specifically want to (1) load exisitng dimension members where the parent has changed, and ensure these members are MOVED and not duplicated as shared, and (2) load shared members.
Any guidance in this regard will be helpful.s ma

Hi John
I can't map the IsPrimary to any property in EPMA?
I added the column in my flat file, but in my import profile I can't map it, so in the load it is giving 'The 'IsPrimary' column is not present in the import source for dimension 'Entity'. Creating all imported members as primary instances.'
Is the property only applicable to the Account dimension? I'm trying to load the shared members in Entity dimension.
Cheers,

Aliases for shared members in Smartview

Hi All Gurus,
I am using Oracle EPM 11.1.2.3. I migrated an EPMA planning application from 11.1.2.2 to 11.1.2.3. The Alias for Shared members are not getting displayed When I access through Smartview ,instead it is showing as [Parent].[child] . But When I access the same application in 11.1.2.2, I can see the Alias.
How to fix this?

It is been identified as a bug have a read of this Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: Smart View issues with alternate Hierarchy - Surprises in Essbase Part V

ASO - Time Functionality - MDX for Shared Members

Hi
I have create an ASO cube with two time hierarchies and I am currently trying to get the WTD To Date Functionality working.
The hierarchies are as follows
Hier1: Year->HalfYear->Quarter->Month->Week->Date (Date is stored)
Hier2: Year->HalfYear->Quarter->Month->Date (Date is shared)
In Hierarchy 1 the month of Jun contains the following days 27/05 - 30/06 due to the way the weeks fall.
In Hierarchy 2 the month of Jun contains the following days 01/06 - 30/06 as this shows the actual days in the month of June.
My problem is, in hierarchy 2, the shared members are taking on the WTD to values of the hierarchy 1 and my MDX is not recalculating for shared members.
Is it possible to recalculate for shared members?
Hierarchy1
Hier1 Value - WTD
Hierarchy 2
Hier2 Value - WTD

May-27/05/13

May-31/05/13
500
Jun-Wk1-01/06/13
600
Jun-01/06/13
600 (This should reset back to 100 but instead it is taking on the value from Hierarchy 1 because it is shared)
Jun-Wk1-02/06/13
700
Jun-02/06/13
700 (This should be the sum of 01/06 +02/06 but instead it is taking the value of Hierarchy 1)
Below is a sample of the MDX I have
WHEN IsLeaf([Calendar].[ReportingYear].CurrentMember) AND Count ( Intersect (Descendants([ReportingYear]) ,{ [Calendar].[ReportingYear].CurrentMember })) > 0
THEN
sum((ANCESTOR( [Calendar].[ReportingYear].CurrentMember,1).Firstchild: [Calendar].[ReportingYear].CurrentMember), [View].[Periodic])
WHEN IsLeaf([Calendar].[CalendarYear].CurrentMember) AND Count ( Intersect (Descendants([CalendarYear]) ,{ [Calendar].[CalendarYear].CurrentMember })) > 0
THEN
/*1*/
sum((ANCESTOR([Calendar]. [CalendarYear].CurrentMember,1).Firstchild:[Calendar]. [CalendarYear].CurrentMember))
Thanks

If you use the IsUda function within an IIF statement then you would have to specify a true part and a false part.IIF (Search condition,true part,false part)

Essbase Error log issue for Shared Members

I am loading Shared members for a custom dimension in Essbase.
Error log is getting created as below.
\\Record #1 - Warning: Account Only attributes cannot be set in non-Accounts dimensions
PR0011,APP_PR,Shared Member,
But that specific member is getting loaded.
I am loading only shared member in this load and all records are shown as getting rejected even though most of them are getting loaded.This is causing issues in finding out real rejects.

How to load shared members into a duplicate outline using load rules

Hello, I am trying to load an alternate hierarchy into the same dimension in an outline that accepts duplicate members using EAS load rules ... there is no property for shared members so i can't specify it in the load rule .. i tried using parent child and it is not working - no shared members are loaded in the alternate hierarchy .. any ideas? would another utility make it happen?
thx

Load rule to update alternate hierarchy with shared members more than once

I have a aso cube with an alternate hierarchy that is not stored because the shared members appear more than once. Below is how my alternate hierarchy looks.
Dept
Class
VolumeLevel
StoreNum
where StoreNum is the shared member.
I build the cube using eis every weekend. The VolumeGroup changes everyday, so I was thinking of using a sql load rule to update the outline everyday. Assuming that the data and the aggregation does not get cleared. Is it possible to do it using sql load rule?
Thanks,

You can check here if you are satisfying the conditions for creating shared members under the Hierarchy (refer to Alternate Hierarchies). Plz note that rules for shared members are different in ASO world.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?acrtapdb.html
Otherwise there is no reason why you should not be able to create a shared member.
I am able to create a hierarchy using a sample file like this ->
EN_MAIN, EN_500000
EN_500000, EN_49999
EN_ALT, C_500000
C_500000, EN_49999
ENTITY (Multiple Hierarchies Enabled)
|-EN_MAIN (Stored)
|--EN_500000
|---EN_49999
|-EN_ALT (Stored)
|--C_500000
|---EN_49999 (Shared)
The rule file has only "Allow Property Changes" on.

ODI - Delete Shared Members?

Hello,
I load a node in a Planning dimension with Shared Members using an ODI Interface. We have a need to remove all of these Shared Members before we perform the load. Is it then possible to remove all Shared Members from specific locations using ODI? I know that we can run the Delete Shared Members utility from the server where Planning is installed, but that is not possible for admin users who do not have admin rights to the server. Version 11.1.1.2, ODI version 10.1.3.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

John,
Thanks for the reply. The dimension is in a Planning Application/database. I have a parent/child/Alias txt file that I used to load the dimension node with. Are you saying that it is possible to create an ODI interface that can "Delete Level 0" members? Below is a sample of the dimension via planning/dimensions. In this example, I would want to remove all members under the "COGS" node....or all "Shared Members". Below is also a sample of the file used to load the Shared Members.
Thanks again,
Steve

Shared Members Alias

Hello,
I am facing problems while creating / removing aliases of shared members in Essbase outline.
1) What is the best possible way to create aliases for shared members (already present in the outline not new ones) ?
2) What is the best possible way to remove aliases for exisitng shared members in the outline ?
Any leads greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Neetesh

Hi.
The Easiest Way of Doing it is by Parent-Child References..
COnstruct a Data File using Parent child Reference and then Add a Third Column in which you provide Alias name.
In the Field Property of Third Column make is as Alias and tag it to proper dimension and in Dimension build Setting go to Dimension Build tab and check "Allow property changes".
In case of Removing Alias just create Another Column in Rule File And Leave it Blank
Then in its Field Propety Check "Delete When Field is Empty".

Shared members' properties not flowing automatically

Hi,
We are developing hierarchies in Drm11.1.2.2
Wherein we have primary members and also shared members in our hierarchy to be built on ...for the properties part let's say for ex I have description-lob as a local property that inherits a global property description-input ...note:values at global properties not to be changed...hence lob ...when the members are created as primary members with their respective properties... The shared members do not inherit the properties from the primary member... How do we get inherit it automatically... Note: description-lob is a overridden property... Please help me asap with your ideas...
Thanks

Hello Scorp,
I've tried to understand and here's what i understood.. The Description-LOB is a defined Inheriting or probably a Overridable derived property. Now taking each case differently -
Note- The Shared members will not "Inherit" the values from their primaries unless they are among its descendants and which typically doesn't make sense from an alternate structure view.
If it is a defined property it will not reflect on the Shared member automatically, if my memory serves me right the Leaf property is the only one which is common.
Now having said that, the only possibility is that of a overridable derived property, now for that you need to put in a condition in your formula to check for Shared members separately, Check for the Core.SharedFlag_MDM which is True for Shared members and False for Primaries you can do something like this.
If(PropValue(Core.SharedFlag_MDM),
NodePropValue(PropValue(Core.PrimaryName_MDM),Custom.YourProperty),
PropValue(Custom.YourProperty))
Let me know if I have deviated from your question.
Thanks
Denzz

Loading shared members from interface tables

Hi,
I am loading data to Hyp. Planning via interface tables. I need to load shared members. Where can i tell him that this is a shared member?
thank you very much
lubos

Will not it cause probles when loading shared members first before the original ones?
I thought that DataStorage only accpet values like StoreData, NeverShare etc.
I will try it out.
Thank you very much for your help

Add shared members to interfaces tables

Hi guys
I need to load shared members to a generic dimension using interface tables?
How can I do it?
Regards

Hi John
Thanks for your help. I can add shared member to the generic dimension called PCM_Prod, however I am getting the following issue
at validate one application that I used:
Error : Last generation 2 member of dimension PCM_Prod is Total Productos. Expected member name "NoMember".
Error : Dimension 'PCM_Prod' does not support shared members because the dimension hierarchy type is set to 'Stored'. Member: '3032182'.
Error : Shared member '3032182' cannot exist under generation 2 ancestor member 'Total Productos' in dimension 'PCM_Prod' because it does not belong to a StoreData hierarchy. Either set the dimension-level Hierarchy Type property to 'StoreData', or else set the Hierarchy Type property of generation 2 ancestor of this member to 'StoreData'
If I upload using ADS I did not get the issue.
So I do not why using interface tables I got the error.

Building RULES file to load shared members in Aggregate storgage outline

Hi there
I posted this yesterday (sorry, somewhat different subject description). I am trying to create an alternate hierarchy containing shared members using a load rule and flat file in an Aggregate Storage outline. One response was to remove the "allow moves" option and use parent child build in the load rule. I tried that and it did not work. i was pointed to a section in the essbase guide (which is about as clear as mud), and still cannot get this to work. First of all - can you do this with an ASO outline? If so, how? I tried a simple 6 line flat file and recreated the load rule based on the above recommendations and it will not the shared members. Can someone out there help?
thanks

Here is an example in the simplest form.
Create Aso db (duplicate members names not selected)
Create Product dimension member, set to "Multiple Hieararchies Enabled", (though probably would work if dynamic)
Create load rule, set as parent/child dimension build for product, make sure allow moves is not ticked.
Data file
Parent,Child
100,100-20
200,200-20
Diet,100-20
Assign field properties in rule for Parent.Child
Load data, 100-20 will be created as shared.
Cheers
John
