Essbase and NAS

Is anyone using Essbase with network attached storage. With Essbase and/or databases stored on NAS drives. We just started doing this and are experiencing unexpected slowness in processing times.

If you are doing a clean upgrade then all you'll need to do is uninstall the excel add-in from 6.5 and then reinstall the 11.1.2.1 version of excel add-in.

  • OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
    From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
    I have 2 question:
    - Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
    - Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
    And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
    Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
    Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.

    Let me know in case you have found out anything else related to same.
    Thanks,

  • Multiple data sources Essbase and RDBMS in BIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I want to link Essbase cube with sql server in BIEE 11. I try to do it and I found that it can be linked in physical layer, but it does not allow me to set linkage in "Business Model and Mapping" layer. when I drag and drop a report and it return error:
    =================
    View Display Error
    ODBC Driver returned an error (SQLExeDirectW).
    Error Details
    Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
    State: HY000. Code:10058. [NQODC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has ocurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

    =================
    My steps:
    ==========================
    1) Use "Import Metadata" in BI Admin tools to import data source from Essbase (e.g. TBC, TBC_ASO)
    2) Use "Import Metadata" in BI Admin tools to import SQL server table (e.g. testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info)
    3) create linkage between table testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info.gen_id with TBC_ASO.[Product.Gen2,Product - Member Key] in "Physical layer"
    4) drag and drop TBC (Essbase), TBC_ASO (Essbase), and testdb (sql server) from physical layer to "Business Model and Mapping" layer
    5) drag and drop table testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info to TBC_ASO (since it dosn't allow set linkage in "Business Model and Mapping" layer between different data source)
    6) drag and drop TBC, TBC_ASO, testdb from "Business Model and Mapping" layer to Presentation Layer.
    ==========================
    Anything I did wrong? please advise.

    Check what are your settings under tools-> Embedded OC4J Preferences in the datasource node.

  • What are the differences between Essbase and Planning?

    What are the differences between Essbase and Planning?

    Planning is an enterprise application built around the Essbase OLAP engine.
    You can create planning applications with Essbase only, but Planning uses best practises and has built-in enterprise features.

    Hi,
    Yes, essbase could help make your reports faster, but it depends also on the cube design. Essbase allows you to calculate all the upper levels and store it. This is (2+2=4), essbase stores 2 and 2 and 4 so then you can go and read the total with the report without having to calculate it wihle the user is retreiving the data. This is a good advantage of essbase.
    About #2, no one can tell you if you should or should not use Informatica as that depends on each company. You can use OBIEE with Essbase and you will need a place to store the data that Essbase will then pull up. It could be any DB you want...
    Hope this helps.

  • 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,

  • Learning Essbase and Planning - Buy or Rent a Server?

    Hi All,
    If I was planning on learning Essbase and Planning, would it be better to buy or rent a server? I renting is a better option, which companies would you recommend?
    I'm planning on installing some mail servers and issue tracking websites on the server as well.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nathan

    When you say renting, do you mean in the cloud or do you mean short term leasing and having the server on site (your office, your house, etc.)?
    I'm doing (almost) all of my 11.1.2 puttering about in Amazon Web Services using a prebuilt machine image from Full360.com. No, I do not work for either company. No, they do not pay me to mention their name.
    If you're planning on doing installs and infrastructure work, you likely don't want the Full360 AMI. When I do infrastructure, the resutls aren't pretty, so for me a prebuilt and tested AMI with the full 11.1.2 stack is worth the monthly cost.
    What I like about AWS (and I suppose any cloud offering) is that I only pay for what I use and I can scale CPU, memory, and drive space as needed. I won't deny that there's been a learning curve to it but for the most part it's not been bad. If I can just get someone to show me how to set up SSL so I can securely connect in, I'll be 100% happy.
    I thought a lot about buying a big desktop/workstation and then accessing that but I travel all the time -- I'd have to open up a hole in my home firewall, always have the desktop running, etc., and in the end thought that was too much hassle.
    Just my $0.02.
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour
    P.S. Shameless plug -- I'll be co-presenting this at Kaleidscope in Long Beach this year and will go into depth about how much pain/joy I've received from this approach.

  • Installing Essbase and planning

    Hi,
    I am planning to install Essbase and Planning v9.3.1 in my personal system. I have my system running on Windows 7.
    What are the components that I have to install and is there any order that I should follow to install.
    Thanks..

    You would need:
    Shared Services,
    Essbase,
    Planning,
    Essbase Admin Services (EAS) (business rules)
    Provider Services
    at a minimum,
    Also, use BI Core and Web services for Financial Reporting/Workspace/WebAnalysis

  • Essbase and planning applications migration from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.4

    Hi Masters,
    I have few Hyperion 11.1.2.1 running servers for Essbase and planning applications (Essbase alone applications and planning applications are running into different servers). Now we are planning to upgrade 11.1.2.1 directly to new 11.1.2.4 servers.
    could you guys please suggest me the best way of migrating these applications to 11.1.2.4?
    Thanks a lot,
    Siva

    Hi John,
    Actually we are moving all our existing servers to some new data center. the plan is like installing 124 in the new server in the new data center and migrate the existing 121 applications to the 124 servers.
    So is there a best way to migrate like i said above? or do we need to install 121 in the new server 1st and migrate the applications from existing 121 servers, then apply maintenance release of 124 would be best way?
    Thanks,
    siva

  • Essbase and Planning 11.1 adapters

    Does ODI has Essbase and Planning 11.1 adapters or its still 9.3.1 ..Also how can I know from the .jar files which version the adapter is...

    Thanks John
    I have issue in Extracting Metadata out of Essbase cubes. I can extract Entity dimension without any issue. When I try to extract Accounts DIM I get error at SS_O MetadataExtract step with "No_matching_Enum_found". Couldn't find any refernce for it.
    Tried importing V11 jar files, imported LKM_Essbase_Metadata_SQL again. Nothing seems to solve the problem.
    I saw one thread abt it in Planning. No solution for it though..

  • Essbase and Planning 11.1.1.3 Installation issue

    Hi,
    I have installed and configured Essbase and Planning successfully. However, I can't find them in Windows services. They are supposed to be present in windows services if I'm not mistaken.
    Has anyone experienced this issue?
    Regards,
    Eric

    Have you tried to reconfigure them again, if so not it may be worth giving it a go.
    If essbase has been succesfully installed and the service not created it is possible to create the service by running <HyperionHome>\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin\RegisterAgent.bat
    For planning you could try <HyperionHome>\deployments\<WebAppServer>\bininstallServiceHyperionPlanning.bat

  • Essbase and Shared Services - Whether 1 box installtion is good or 2 box in

    Hi,
    I need to upgrade/migrate 50+ cubes from Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1.
    Whis options mentioned below is better:
    1. Install Essbase and Shared Services in one box/machine
    2. Install Essbase in one box/machine and shared service in another box/machine.
    What will be the best architecture for this?

    Personally I would suggest keeping essbase separate especially with the number of applications, though it is probably best discussing your options and infrastructure with a good consultant as these decisions cannot really be made on a forum.
    Cheers
