Error in Essbase Dim Build

Hi,
I am getting error "\\Invalid Rules File, which was created using a newer version" in the error file while trying to load dimensions into my outline .

Well that sounds pretty self explanatory.
Are you using a Rules file which was created with a newer version of Essbase?

'Invalid Dim' error during dynamic dim building

Hi Folks,
I am trying to update an outline using my own dim rules file and data .txt file, but i get an error in the dimbuild log file saying "\\Column 7 - Invalid Dimension" What could be the reason for this? The outline already contains 5 standard dims (i.e. Customer, Period, Account, Scenario and Year) and 2 more attribute dims. My goal is to add some new members to the existing Account dim. My data file looks like this:
Account,Metrics,,O,~
Metrics, Avg_Wolverines_Juggled, Average Wolverines Juggled, S,~
Metrics, Avg_Dropped_Wolverines, Average Dropped Wolverines, S,~
Metrics,Headcount,,S,~
In the data-prep editor I have created a .rul file that has 6 columns (fields). The first field I created by mistake, so I have set it to 'ignore field..' under 'dim build properties'. The next 5 fields map correctly to the way I have arranged my data file, i.e Parent0, Account Child0, Account Alias0, Account Property0, Account Property0, Account
This .rul file validates correctly, but when I try to update the outline, I get the "\\Column 7 - Invalid Dimension" error log message. The log msg says that the data file contains an error, but may have partially loaded data. However, I don't see a SINGLE new member added to the outline..
In terms of settings, everything under 'Dim Build Properties' seems fine. i.e. for each field the correct dim type (e.g. Parent, Child, Alias, or Property) and dim name (i.e. Account) is selected. However, under 'Dim Build Settings', when i try to choose 'Account' as the dim name, it reverts back to the name of the first dim in the outline (i.e. Customer) whenever I close/reopen 'Dim Build Settings' This happens even though I do a double-click and make sure 'Account' is shown in Blue before closing out of 'Dim Build Settings' Could this have something to do with the error I am getting? I have also made sure that the 'Build Method' is correct (i.e. Parent/Child references) for the two main dim fields. As per my understanding, for alias and properties fields, the Build Method doesn't matter.
I apologize for the long question, but would really appreciate some help.
thanks,
Akshay

Ah good old wolvering Juggling. The problem is they will bite you if you are not careful. (It's a nice metaphor for essbase). learning from Edwards book I see.
your file looks like it only has five columns and you say you created a sixth column that you set to ignore. The message indicates there is a 7th column. Open your load rule and your data file and see if in fact there is a trailing column. Also, make sure you set the dimension build properties for the account dimension to be parent/child

EIS - Essbase Dim build

We are using EIS to build and load a cube from some duzey Oracle tables. Anyway - the specification (from "Consultants R Us") is that within the Accounts Dimension GL Codes will role up into report lines by aggregation - EXCEPT for some Departments which will role up by subtraction. eg. GL123 is added to RepLin01 for Dept1, Dept2 & Dept3. However GL123 is subtracted from RepLin01 for Dept4.Is there anyway (attributes, aliases, anything) that would allow the correct calculation to be done IN THE OUTLINE and not in a script?There's a beer riding on this one!!

This problem can be solved if we use recurrsive structure of dim table with columns as ( Line Item, Parent code, Unary Code) then essbase will roll up according to the unary code specified in the dim. table.Let me know if this makes sense

ASO dim build

Every month I build a dimension that may have a few new members added. I am getting a lot of these error messages, \\Record #760 - Property [Location] changes for member [BBDX] not allowed (3315) The new members are getting added and the error messages are from members that already exist. What is it from and how can I get rid of this error message? (The dim build file will contain the complete dim hierarchy every month, I can't just load a file w/ new members) Jim

Jim: In your load rule you must be setting a property - like a consolidation operator, storage setting, or attribute - on your members. When you run the rule the next time and Essbase sees the property already set on the member and a non-blank field in your data source for the member's property, it treats that as a "property change", even though there is nothing changed. Example: The first time you run a dimbuild, you set member ABC with the consolidation operator '+'; it sets it as it should - life is good. Next time, when Essbase gets to the same member, it says to itself "hmmm...I'm being told to set the property on 'ABC' as a '+', but it's already set. I don't see the 'Allow Property Changes' checkbox being set, so I'll not set the property again, throw an error and move on." Essbase, in all its wisdom, is unable to tell that changing a '+' to a '+' isn't a change - it simply sees a non-blank proprety field in the source data and throws the error. Make the problem go away by checking the 'Allow Property Changes' box in the Dimension Build Settings dialog. That's it!

Dim Build Warning

Anyone know what this means?
Data file cache size ==> [0] Kbytes, [0] data file pages
Allocated TRIGMAXMEMSIZE: [4096] Bytes.
Loading New Outline for Database [CP_Ace] Succeeded
Missing Database Config File [D:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\APP\CP_Ace\CP_Ace\CP_Ace.cfg], Query logging disabled
Total Restructure Elapsed Time : [2.484] seconds
Object [CP_Ace] unlocked by user [MikeHa]
Database import completed ['CP_Ace'.'CP_Ace']
Output columns prepared: [0]
The rule works, the dim builds, but this warning appears - just wondering what it means. Why might one have a missing Config file?
Thanks for any insight, Mike

I'll guess from the message this is a BSO cube. It just means that query logging is not turned on. It is no big deal. If you want to learn more about Query logginga nd BSO databases, check out the section on it in the tech reference. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/frameset.htm?launch.htm

Essbase Cube Build is hung once in a while

Hello All -
We've nightly essbase cube build (BSO/ASO both) on Essbase 11.1.1.3 installed on Unix HP-UX B.11.31. There are total 30 cubes and 7-8 cubes run in parallel most of the times. There is separate MaxL script for each cube and they are called in proper order through a scheduler. We've seen once in a while that one cube build (Maxl script) goes in hung state does nothing. This happens once in a month or so and it's not to a specific cube. It happens to any of the cubes. We went through the log files and didn't find anything.
We've noticed below instances while one cube build is in hung state when other 6-7 cubes are running fine in parallel.
1. Connecting to the server
2. Import dimension/data
Do we need to check some setup in Unix or config files? If any of you had faced this situation before, please let me know. That would really help!
Thanks in advance!

I have seen a similar issue with our Essbase cube. Although we only have one cube. It does the night update routine just fine and users are logged in and working when all of sudden the cube freezes up. I can login to EAS, but when I select my server it just hangs. I can login into Workspace/Planning or Excel Add-In but when I select an Application, it just hangs.
We are also on a Unix box. We've checked all the logs and there is no error message indicating what might be wrong. The second time it occured we logged a ticket with Oracle and had them online. They checked our logs and found nothing. We uploaded all our log files to them for their team to take a look. They suspect our Essbase Agent wasn't running...not sure what the Agent is. That was a week ago and haven't heard back from Oracle.
To solve the problem we stopped and started the Essbase services only and the application came back. No data was lost or corrupted.
I've never seen this before. I've worked for two other employers with Essbase and both were on Window's boxes and never experienced this issue. First time I've worked with the software on a Unix box...

Permission denied error while CBS is building DCs

Hi,
from time to time we get an permission denied error when activating changes. The CBS server tries to check out files into the temporary build folders at the server and cannot do that for one file (see following error message).
As already said this happens only sometimes and only for single files.
Does anyone have the same experience and/or a suggestion how to solve this problem?
When deleting the folder and activating again the error has gone.

Hi Sidharth,
good to hear that we are not the only company with this problem.
We also do have this problem since months, from SP9 to SP11.
First we thought that it would have been a CBS configuration or an OS problem but this cannot be the reason because as you already mentioned it works after serveral attempts. We also analysed the temporary CBS folders and noticed that only one file (the one that causes the error) does have other attributes than the others.
That sounds very strange and I hope that someone from SAP will read this task.
At the moment we are collecting all the problems and errors that appear with the JDI and the Netweaver Developeer Studio to present SAP this list in bulk. We cannot write an OSS note for every error we discover as suggested by SAP.
Stability mainly of the NWDS plugins is the biggest problem we have at the moment. Did you make the same experience?
Regards
Helmut

How to use substitution variable in case of dim build

Hi all,
Lets say I have 3 sub vars - Prevmonth, prevmonth-1, prevmonth-2. These will change every quarter.
I want to build a cube which will have which will have only the above 3 months in the Fiscal dimension. This will be used once at the end of quarter.
How do I refer substitution variables in case of dim build rule files? I want automate the process. We have SQL dim build for other dims, only this dim can be built from flat file also.
Or is there any other way to achieve this apart from using sub vars? I can try store the 3 variables in a table and then use them to build the cube, but want to see if we can avoid creating one more interface.
Thanks.

Actually using the values of subvars to build a dimension (which I believe is what you want) is a fun problem. Here's an (Oracle) example that would do that, without requiring any additional table or flat file:
 SELECT 'FiscalPeriod' AS Parent,
 CASE Level
 WHEN 1 THEN '&CurrMonth'
 WHEN 2 THEN '&PrevMonth'
 WHEN 3 THEN '&PrevMonthMinusOne'
 END AS Child
 FROM Dual
CONNECT BY Level <= 3
Here's how it looks in the load rule SQL dialog, and the data prep editor:
It's fun because I've never thought about it before, but I don't actually recommend this - if you have other ETL going on in SQL I'd generate the values in a table / view there, and have a script that both updates the subvars and builds the dimension direct from that.

We have a substitution variables in Essbase.We want to use the Substitution variables ("CMonth","CYTD") in IR report Substitution variables were already created in Essbase.
