Essbase and iSeries data record locks

Hello,
I was wondering if there are any known issues with using Essbase 7.1 on iSeries where data can only be updated one at a time. Essentially the equivalent to MSAS's record locks where when one person is creating a new table or adding entries to one, it is locked for all other users.
If this is a known limitation, what would be required to unlock it? eg. new version of Essbase?
Thanks everyone.

Is it true that if someone opens the outline to make changes then the outline will be locked.^^^I just opened the outline of my Very Favorite Essbase Database In The Whole Wide World (Sample.Basic) in EAS and then went into Excel and was able to change a data value. A locked outline does not prevent users from changing data.
Users can’t update the cube when someone else is editing it?^^^The outline lock is exclusive, i.e., only one process can have the outline locked.
Or are you talking about the actual writing of the outline/updates through load rules and the concomitant restructure (dense/sparse/outline)?
Per the DBAG:
You cannot build dimensions while other users are reading or writing to the database. After you build dimensions, Essbase restructures the outline and locks the database for the duration of the restructure operation.See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?ddlintro.html#ddlintro1029815

Federating Essbase and Relational Data in 11g

Hi,
I am trying to display Time Entry measures from both Essbase and Relational data source (OLTP) in one report.
The People hierarchy in Essbase has 3 levels and I mapped the 3rd level (Gen3 People - Member Key which is actually the Employee Id) to Employee Id column in OLTP. I cannot map the other levels to OLTP because there are no columns that match.
When I create a report with the ff fields: Gen3 People Member Key, Essbase Measure, OLTP Measure, I am seeing correct values. But when I add Gen3 People, the OLTP Measure column becomes blank. When I add Gen2 People, I am getting "No fact table exists at the requested level of detail".
Does this mean that I also have to map Gen2 People and Gen3 People to OLTP before I can use them in my report?
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the help.
I am currently facing following issues in integration.
1. In my Essbase outline , the child level has some aliases. So when I import in OBIEE, I am getting the alias value instead of the actual. How to get the actual data in OBIEE?
2. If I am using external data for only one dimension, I am getting the report generated,but all the measures like sales returns no value. But If I am using the sales and some existing cube dimension column, I am getting the values
3. Inorder to use the other dimension, I followed the creation of total level and added the dummy fact. Still I am getting error 'Unable to navigate requested expression'
Thanks in advance,
Many Thanks,
RS

Problem with Data recording with EPOS2 24/5 and LabVIEW

Dear community memebers,
I've been trying some examples from EPOS library, and I would like to know how this example works and how data recording works.
Idon'tknowwhatdoestheparameters, thatthereareindecircle, means.
I would like to plot Position, Velocity and Acceleration. Has someone can explain me how does it works? and what is the funcion of the numbers in the cluster?
Thanks.

Hi Xavi,
you should ask Maxon to explain their software. Or read the manuals they provide...
Motors with some logic usually use a register based communication scheme. You write to certain register to set parameters, you read certain registers to know current parameters/values of the motor. Each cluster in that array is describing one of those registers/parameters, like the first one with register address x6064, sub-address x0 and value d4. Those parameters seem to resemble CANopen CiA specifications!
I can't open that VI due to it's LabVIEW version, but probably you will find labels on the input control of that subVI. Read the labels...

2) Is it possible to get rid of assigned data records in bottom of the screen so all the records shows up under unassigned data record
Thanks for all the support!

Cannot Lock and Send data to an Essbase cube

Hi all,
One of our customer is executing a Macro script to lock and send data to the essbase cube from an excel sheet.
They reported that in several cases where users will submit their data, and later discover that their changes are not in Essbase.
The calls to EssVRetrieve (to lock the blocks) and EssVSendData are both returning successfully and there is no error message received while executing the above macros.
I reviewed the application log file and found the following message:
[Mon Nov 24 18:59:43 2008]Local/Applicn///Warning(1080014)
Transaction [ 0xd801e0( 0x492b4bb0.0x45560 ) ] aborted due to status [1014031].
I analysed the above message and found the user is trying to lock the database when already a lock has been applied to it and some operation is being performed on it. Because of that the transaction has been aborted. But customer says no concurrent operation is being performed at that time.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Raja

The error message for error 1014031 is 'Essbase could not get a lock in the specified time.' The first thought I have is that perhaps some user/s have the 'Update Mode' option set in their Essbase Options and thus, when they are retrieving data, they are inadvertantly locking the data blocks. If that is the case, you will probably see this issue sporadically as the locks are automatically released when the user disconnects from Essbase.
To make it stop, you will have to go to every user's desktop and make sure they have that Essbase Option turned off. Further, you will have to look at any worksheets they may use that may have an Essbase Option name stored on it. The range name is stored as a string and includes a setting for update mode. Here is a sample that I created for this post where I first turned 'on' update mode and then turned 'off' update mode:
A1100000001121000000001100120_01-0000
A1100000000121000000001100120_01-0000
Note the 11th character in the first string is '1' which indicates that Update Mode is 'on'; in the second string, it is 'off'.
This behavior, particularly with update mode, is the only one of the behaviors that I disliked in Excel and pushed me to design our Dodeca product. In Dodeca, the administrator controls all Essbase options and can either set individual options to the value they want or they can allow the user to choose their own options. Most of our customers do not allow the user to set update mode.

JavaScript error and CATW record locking problem

Hello,
We're having two problems with ESS (CATW and Personal Information (PZM3)) in EP 6. We have an ITS-R/3 landscape.
The JavaScript problem appears intermittently within Personal Data services (Address, Emergency Contact, ...). The actual error reads "object required" and originates from ITS. A user may be able to click through all the ESS services once fine, but on a second click receive the error. Sometimes they can't use the services at all.
The record locking problem happens in Time Sheet (CATW). Even though a user Saves and Releases the Time Sheet, it remains locked and cannot be approved. Alternatively, some users are experiencing locked records when they try to complete their own time sheets.
I'm not sure if these are related.
Has anyone here seen these problems? Any suggestions are most welcome!
Cheers,
Colleen

The best way to nail down the javascript error would be to use the firefox JavaScript debugger extension plugin and put the breakpoints where the problem occurs.
This will exactly tell you which object it is looking for which is not found. Moreover you might be able to find that when it is working fine as you said. So give that a try and I am sure you will be able to figure out the problem.
To me this mostly looks like at time some .js file is not coming through to the browser... but this is just a wild guess based on the symptoms.

First and Last Date. Is is possible in Essbase?

Hello All, Here are the dimensions in my outline: - User - Application - Dates - Measures (Count, FirstLoginDate, LastLoginDate) I am trying to create a report in Essbase that shows the first and last date that each user accessed each Essbase application. I created an ETL process that builds a relational table with one record for each unique combination of User/Application/Day where a user was logged into an application. This process gets its source data from the Essbase application log files. I am loading a count of 1 to each intersection of User/Application/Day. I also want to add the first and last day to the cube but can not figure out how. 1) Is there an easier way to get at the source data then the application log files? 2) If the application log files are the way to go, how do I indicate in the cube what the first and last login days are for each combination of User/Application? I was thinking of loading the serial dates to the FirstLoginDate and LastLoginDate measures. The trouble I am having is where to load the dates data. Do I load it to level 0 (individual dates) and then use time balance to get the dates up to the higher levels (month, year) or load it at the higher levels? If I should load it at the higher levels, do I assume correctly I will need to create another relational table with one record for each User/Application/Month and User/Application/Year that shows the first and last dates? Any other ideas? Thank you in advance, Bill Handelman 847-989-1758 [email protected] 

While you may have natural ordering in your date dimensions, Essbase doesn't handle first and last dates well. The one area where ther is at least some funcionality in date manipulation is inattribute dimensions, however, the easy use there allows only one date attribute using normal date processing. It gets a great deal more complex using two dates. Look up the DBAG references to the date type of attribute dimensions, you might find it a partial solution to your problem. If you go the serial date method, load at level 0 and want to use time balance to bring the values up, you still need a time dimension. If I were designing something, I might use the first access date as a time dimension and the last access date in an attribute dimension, but I'm rambling rather than analyzing. In any case, look at the date type attribute dimension as one possible option for your cube.

FDM Essbase Adapter - Duplicate members from same dimension on data records

I am getting this error message when trying to export data to Essbase using FDM.
Error - Duplicate members from same dimension on data records.
Though this error looks quite straight forward, I could not find any thing in the data file to indicate the same. I even tried loading a single row data, but still got the same message.
What other things I should be looking at to fix this issue?
Thanks.

There are one or two previous threads on this, but this might give you some help to start with as it links to an esssbase document which gives suggestions for the error message:
Error in dataload- Duplicate Members From Same Dimension On Data Record
another thread indicated that the first record had a blank in it and by re-sorting to have the first records with all fields populated resolved the issue (not sure on this one).
from the FDM side:
1. Are the dimensions correctly mapped in the Essbase adaptor?
2. Are the dimensions in the correct sequence for loading to Essbase.
3. Does the same value appear In more than one field (Can't remember but i think essbase didn't use to allow the same member name across dimensions).

DECODE function to validate date value and sort the records

Hi Friends,
I am looking for some query which can give me the required output,
I need to do this using SQL query only and I have tried using the MIN() and MAX() functions it was working fine with limited data, now after inserting the last record(in the below table) which has date for start_range and end_range in(mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss) format.
Because the data type is VARCHAR2 if I am using the MIN() function it is sorting as a string value, hence the min date is incorrect. I tried using validating the value to date or non date and tried to using MIN() and MAX() functions using the DECODE function, I am getting this error "ORA-01840: input value not long enough for date format".
select table_name,
DECODE(substr(START_RANGE,3,1)||substr(START_RANGE,6,1)||substr(START_RANGE,11,1)||substr(START_RANGE,14,1)||substr(START_RANGE,17,1),'// ::',
to_char(min(to_date(start_range,'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')),'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),min(start_range)) MIN_RUNS_START_RANGE,
DECODE(substr(END_RANGE,3,1)||substr(A.END_RANGE,6,1)||substr(END_RANGE,11,1)||substr(END_RANGE,14,1)||substr(END_RANGE,17,1),'// ::',
to_char(max(to_date(END_RANGE,'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')),'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),max(END_RANGE)) MAX_RUNS_END_RANGE
from MY_TABLE
GROUP BY table_name,
(substr(START_RANGE,3,1)||substr(START_RANGE,6,1)||substr(START_RANGE,11,1)||substr(START_RANGE,14,1)||substr(START_RANGE,17,1)),
(substr(END_RANGE,3,1)||substr(END_RANGE,6,1)||substr(END_RANGE,11,1)||substr(END_RANGE,14,1)||substr(END_RANGE,17,1))
Can sombody please advise what is the best way I can query this data with the required output.
The following are the source table and records and the out put records using the sql query.
MY_TABLE
TABLE_NAME(VARCHAR2),START_RANGE(VARCHAR2),END_RANGE(VARCHAR2)
TABLE1,1000,10000
TABLE2,ABCD,EEEE
TABLE3,01/12/2010 00:00:00,12/31/2010 23:59:59
TABLE1,10001,20000
TABLE2,EEEF,GGGG
TABLE3,01/01/2011 00:00:00,01/31/2011 23:59:59
OUTPUT :
TABLE_NAME,MIN(START_RANGE),MAX(END_RANGE)
TABLE1,1000,20000
TABLE2,ABCD,GGGG
TABLE3,01/12/2010 00:00:00,01/31/2011 23:59:59
Thanks

i also think this is a very bad table design ...
but if you are not able to change it, you could split the select (date and non-date data) and combine the result with UNION like this:
with t as
SELECT 'TABLE1' table_name,'1000' start_range,'10000' end_range FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE2','ABCD','EEEE' FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE3','01/12/2010 00:00:00','12/31/2010 23:59:59' FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE1','10001','20000' FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE2','EEEF','GGGG' FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE3','01/01/2011 00:00:00','01/31/2011 23:59:59' FROM dual
SELECT table_name,
       TO_CHAR(MIN(TO_DATE(start_range, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')), 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
       TO_CHAR(MAX(TO_DATE(end_range, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')), 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM t
WHERE start_range LIKE '%/%/%:%:%'
GROUP BY table_name
UNION
SELECT table_name,
       MIN(start_range),
       MAX(end_range)
FROM t
WHERE start_range NOT LIKE '%/%/%:%:%'
GROUP BY
    table_name;
TABLE_ MIN_VALUE           MAX_VALUE
TABLE1 1000                20000
TABLE2 ABCD                GGGG
TABLE3 01/12/2010 00:00:00 01/31/2011 23:59:59

I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

i've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?
is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

Payment terms in Vendor Master data and purchasing info record

Hi, all, I met one trouble. While I create Purchase Order. In the header item, payment terms is automatically pop up from the data maintaining the vendor master data or purchasing info record if there is difference payment terms between in vendor master data and in purchasing info record. What happend?
Sometimes, When you create purchase order, payment terms is not automatically pop up even you maintained in the vendor master data or purchasing info record. Why? Is it meaning that I can manually to input payment terms while create each purchase order which can be difference data with vendor master data or purchase info record?
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi,
The payment terms is usually defaulted from either vendor master or purchasing master data record such as contract/outline agreement. Unless it is set through configuration that the payment terms be set as mandatory, any failure to maintain payment terms won't stop you from posting your PO as this information will only be useful during invoice receipt maintenance. Having said that if you are setting up your system with discount condition type as part of your PO pricing schema then it is necessary that the payment terms shall be maintained during PO creation.
Cheers,
HT

Create a record based on From date and To Date in CRM 2015 Plugins

Hi all
in my account screen i have two date field from date and Todate and i have one child entity member when i am creating a
new account then based on from date and to date number of child record should be created
for example in account screen
if from date=2/1/2015 and
To date=31/03/2015
then number of child record should be created
in this manner
from date to date
2/1/2015 31/01/2015
01/02/2015 28/02/2015
1/03/2015 31/03/2015

Hi,
OK. It seems you want to create 3 records (custom child entity) where the first has the same From Date as the Account and goes up to the end of the month, and the other records go from there.
This logic can be implemented via a Plugin that could run on the create and update of these fields on Accounts. From the Plugin, you can set up the logic and fill the records with the necessary information.
