Error creating RTP in version 11.

Question

This is the error that I am getting while creating a RTP in calculation manager in EPMA.
Oracle EPM System Workspace - ErrorError :Error while executing query: 'insert into CALCMGRVARIABLES (ID, NAME, UPPERNAME, DESCRIPTION, OWNER, CREATED, MODIFIEDBY, LASTMODIFIED, LOCKEDBY, OPENFOREDITINGBY, ISOPENFOREDITING, OBJECTTYPEID, PRODUCTTYPE, PROPERTY, BODY, LOCATION, LOCATIONSUBTYPE, VALIDATESTATUS, DEPLOYSTATUS, PARENTID, PARENTTYPE) values(SEQ_CALCMGRVARIABLES.NEXTVAL, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)'com.hyperion.calcmgr.beans.DBVariableBean':{'PoolName':"azhypbasa27x2orcl",'Value':"Q1 RBU",'Array':false,'Scope':'','Limit':"NULL",'DimensionType':"Scenario",'Essbase':false,'Numeric':false,'ValueTypeString':"member",'RuleVariable':false,'ParentId':-1,'ScopeName':"AZLOCAL.CurrRBU",'Ranges':[],'LogInfo':"NULL",'ScriptVariable':false,'Execution':false,'ValueType':3,'Constant':true,'Range':"NULL",'CellReference':"NULL",'PromptText':"Scenario Prompt",'VariableType':0,'LogInfoType':false,'ParentType':-1,'RuleSetVariable':false,'FormulaVariable':false,'GlobalVariable':false,'ApplicationVariable':true,'PlanTypeVariable':false,'ObjectVariable':false,'RTPVariable':true,'SaveUserValue':false,'HideVar':false,'AllowMissing':false,'ArrayType':"string",'ArrayBounds':'','RuleSetScope':false,'RuleScope':false,'DataRange':false,'CrossDim':false,'MemberRange':false,'Member':true,'Members':false,'Dimension':false,'Percent':false,'RuleName':'','Moved':false,'Dimension':'','Name':"CurrRBU",'Location':"AZLOCAL",'Properties':{'dimensionType':"Scenario",'useLastValue':"false",'group':'','prompt_text':"Scenario Prompt"},'Id':0,'Owner':"ghoshA",'Comment':'','Valid':false,'Locked':false,'Shared':false,'LastModified':2025077740,'Description':"Current RBU Scenario",'Children':[],'Dirty':false,'PlanType':'','ProductID':2,'Deployed':false,'ObjectType':3,'HFM':false,'Planning':true,'Descendants':[],'CalcType':"NULL",'ValidateStatus':1,'BeanKey':"CurrRBU",'OpenForEditing':false,'UpperName':"CURRRBU",'Caption':'','ModifiedBy':"ghoshA",,'CreateDate':2025077740,,'LockedBy':'','Editable':true,'ProductType':"Planning",'ScopeLocation':"AZLOCAL",'ImageName':"NULL",'OpenForEditingBy':'',,'Body':'','BeanXML':"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\u000d\u000a<variable id=\"0\" name=\"CurrRBU\" product=\"Planning\" type=\"member\" usage=\"const\"><property name=\"description\">Current RBU Scenario<\/property><property name=\"application\">AZLOCAL<\/property><property name=\"dimensionType\">Scenario<\/property><property name=\"useLastValue\">false<\/property><property name=\"prompt_text\">Scenario Prompt<\/property><property name=\"group\"/><value>Q1 RBU<\/value><\/variable>",'ChildCount':0,'ChildrenList':"NULL",'DeployedStatus':1,'NotValidated':true,'InValid':false,'Script':'','SourceID':0,'Variable':true,'Rule':false,'RuleSet':false,'Script':false,'Formula':false,'Component':false,'DeployApplication':'','DeployPlanType':'','DisplayLabelValue':"NULL",'DisplayLabel':"NULL",,'DTPUsed':false,'DTPName':"NULL",'DTPValue':"NULL",}'[[Hyperion][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-00001: unique constraint (CALC.PKCALCMGRVARIABLES1) violated

Answer 1

Simple logic maybe, but slightly flawed (although it is easy to see why you did what you did - and you were not helped by the way Metalink presents the information)
Note:559834.1 also explicitly states that the cause of the problem is that the 11.1.0.6 A Database Patch is required.
The reason why it refers to installing the 'latest' OLAP patch is because the A patch has been superceded by the B patch for some operating systems.
Patch 7 does indeed appear at the top of the list when you search for Oracle OLAP on Metalink, but when you look again you will notice that this is flagged as an 'Oracle Database Family' patch whereas the A patch (6459753) is the latest 'Oracle OLAP' patch.
Of course, none of this explains why patch 7 and the OLAP A patch are not compatible with each other, but I'm guessing that testing every permutation of every patch for every operating system is just not feasible.
Are you able to rollback patch 7?
