Essbase ASO Allocation

Hi, all,
I am writing an ASO allocation script, which is working now. However, I wonder whether there is any way to easily have some mathematics operations on some of the fields. For example, in the following allocation script, how can i use the negative figures of the amount to allocated out? For example, "([East],[Total_Expenses])" is a positive 1000. However, I would like to have the negative 1000 (e.g. -1000) to be allocated amount?
execute allocation process on database DemoASO.Basic with
pov "Crossjoin(Descendants([Year],[Year].levels(0)),
Crossjoin(Descendants([Product],[Product].levels(0)),
Descendants([Scenario],[Scenario].levels(0))))"
amount "([East],[Total_Expenses])"
target ""
range "CrossJoin({[Sales],[Cost_of_Goods_Sold]},
Descendants([South],[Market].levels(0)))"
spread;
Is there a easy way to do such amount calculation in the ASO allocation script? Or I have to created additional members in outline to do such reversal of the sign?
Appreciate any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks a lot

Major caveat - I haven't used the function - but have you looked at the Technical Reference?
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_execalloc.html
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_alloc_numeric.html
The example there says that 'amount' is a numeric expression, i.e. you don't just have to list a member or tuple there. It looks like you can use an arithmetic expression, but if you do all members must be from the same dimension - so your {[East], [Total_Expenses]} might be problematic. But that's obviously a sample rather than your actual use case.

Essbase ASO Calculation Issue

Hi All
I am writing a calculation for a client to copy one version to another version for an Essbase ASO application.
It seems to work correctly when my POV is set on a smaller datapoints. Hower it seem to have issues when fixed on larger datapoints.
The calculations is pretty simple
[ActualFinal] := [ActualWorking];
I tried creating and running the calculation both using MaxL and Calculation Manager. However the same issue seem to occur.
I first thought it might have been an implied share issue, but further investigation, it doesn't seem to be the issue as I can get the data copied using a smaller POV.
The client is on version 11.1.2.3 of Essbase.
Any one have any thoughts of what may be causing this?
Thanks
Jimmy

I had this issue in 11.1.2.1. Never tried on the later versions
FYI - Have a look at this post (http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1359579119/MDX+Query+-+Error+127001)

ASO Performance
No score for this post
February 11 2013, 1:18 PM
Here are the current limitations as I see them when trying to go ASO only:
- These scripts are not as fast as calc scripts
- performance is worse when users are on the system
- Cannot run these types of calcs when loads are taking place
- need to watch for incremental slices
- Users cannot natively execute these types of scripts
- These scripts can be very fussy to get working
- When I ran the exact same scripts (per my examples) as 'Calculation' versus 'Allocation' the 'Calculation' would skip random cells which was really weird and impossible to fix which is why I switched to using 'Allocation'
In my mind the technology is not mature enough at the moment to get rid of BSO but its getting better..

How to export level0 data in COLUMNAR form from an ESSBASE ASO application?

Hello,
I am in the need to export the level0 data from as 11.1.1.3 Essbase ASO application in COLUMNAR form.
please note that the size of the db is 6GB and report script failed.
Is it possible? please sugesst a way.
thanks,
Ankit

y dont you use report script
few tips to for build report script when you have huge data
1. Decrease the amount of Dynamic Calcs in your outline. If you have to, make it dynamic calc and store.
2. Use the <Sparse command at the beginning of the report script.
3. Use the <Column command for the dense dimensions instead of using the Page command. The order of the dense dimensions in the Column command should
be the same as the order of the dense dimension in the outline. (Ex. <Column (D1, D2)).
4. Use the <Row command for the sparse dimensions. The order of the sparse dimensions in the Row command should be in the opposite order of the sparse
dimension in the outline. (Ex. <Row (S3, S2, S1)). This is commonly called sparse bottom up method.
5. If the user does not want to use the <Column command for the dense dimensions, then the dense dimensions should be placed at the end of the <Row command.
(Ex. <Row (S3, S2, S1, D1, D2)).
6. Do not use the Page command, use the Column command instead.
this will work trust me

Showing Annotations in Separate column in Hyperion Financial Report with source Essbase ASO

Hi All,
I've a Report in FR and user has to enter the comments and the entered comments should display in Column. I'm using Annotations here and created a separate column and written formula <<Annotation(cur, cur, F, cur, Desc)>>. The comment is displaying in the column, but to see the comment / annotation one has to select View -> Annotations. Is there any way to get rid of this. With out selecting View -> Annotations option can the comments directly displays in column when user opens a Report ?
Or Is there any other way that user can enter comments in FR ? Essbase ASO cube is my source
Thanks,
PVR

I don't think there is another way for that. Did you try the pdf view?
You can try using LRO's

Accessing Essbase ASO Cube from Oracle Relational database

Hi All,
I am a Oracle database developer. We have a requirement where we need to access Hyperion Essbase ASO cube data directly from Relational Database. We have identified below options.
1. Use Hyperion web service and UTL_HTTP oracle utility
2. Use JAVA API to access ASO cube. The code of the Java, will be written in Informatica Java Transformation.
Unfortunetly, i am not getting good resources in Google on how to do?
Appreciate, if someone share the knowledge if they have implemented this.?

I am not competent to recommend any particular approach but Essbase.ru has some blog entries on using XMLA / 11.1.2.2 services and a Google Code project...

Wrong date value in Essbase ASO cube

Hi All,
I'm trying to load a date value in mm-dd-yy format into an Essbase ASO cube. I'm using is a txt tab delimited file. The load rule is working fine. The outline properties is set with the proper format "mm-dd-yy". I loaded the data and when I retrieve the data using Smart View I see all the dates decreased by one day in my Smartview report.
Would you have any ideas why that is happening?
Thanks

this is a bug and fixed in 11.1.2

DRM providing metadata to Essbase ASO

Does anyone have some guidelines around DRM hierarchy validation, where DRM is the provider, and Essbase ASO is the consumer.
ASO is a bit fussy when it comes to building hierachies, like position of shared members, hierarchy type, consolidsation operators etc etc
Thx

Are the files under the Essbase Server?
If yes, try replacing your import database scripts without showing the file path.
One of your lines:
import database 'ADCPPL'.'ADCPPL' dimensions from server data_file '/hypdata/deloitte/20110921142309_CPPLChannelExport.txt' using server rules_file 'Chnl_DRM' on error write to '/hypdata/deloitte/CPPL_Channel_dimbuild.err';
Replace it with:
import database 'ADCPPL'.'ADCPPL' dimensions from server data_file '20110921142309_CPPLChannelExport.txt' using server rules_file 'Chnl_DRM' on error write to '/hypdata/deloitte/CPPL_Channel_dimbuild.err';

Essbase ASO Cube query performance from OBI EE

Hi all
I have serious problems of performance when I query an ASO cube from OBI EE. The problem born when I implement a filter in some dimension of model in the Business Model and Mapping layer. This filter is to level-0 of the dimension, the values are obtained from a session variable in OBI EE. The objetive of this is apply filters depending of users. Then, for session variable I've a table in relational dabase base with relation between user and "access", then my dimensions (not all) have as level-0 the "access" of users (as duplicated members).
The session variable in OBI EE is filled with row-wise option, so it has all values of "access" that correspond to user (:USER system variabe).
When I query only by one of this filtered dimensions the respond is very fast, When I query for one of this filtered dimensions and a metric the respond is fast (10 seconds). But when I query for two of this filtered dimensions and metric the respond take 25 minutes. I checked Essbase app log and found this:
+[Mon Nov 15 19:56:01 2010]Local/TestSec5/TestSec5/admin/Info(1013091)+
+Received Command [MdxReport] from user [admin]+

MaxL DML Execution Elapsed Time : [1947.18] seconds
When I look the MDX query generated by OBI I see that the aggregation process is doing in the fly in the members filtered of the crossjoin of two dimensions:
With
set [CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL2] as '[CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].Generations(2).members'
set [CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO2] as '[CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].Generations(2).members'
*member [METRICAS_PRESUPUESTARIAS].[MS1] as 'AGGREGATE(filter(crossjoin (Descendants([CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].currentmember,[CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].Generations(7)),Descendants([CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].currentmember,[CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].Generations(7))),(([CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "01.01" OR [CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "01.01")) AND (([CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "G" OR [CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "G") OR ([CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "I0101" OR [CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "I0101") OR ([CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "S01" OR [CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "S01"))),METRICAS_PRESUPUESTARIAS.[Compromiso])', SOLVE_ORDER = 100*
select
{ [METRICAS_PRESUPUESTARIAS].[MS1]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {crossjoin ({[CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL2]},{[CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO2]})} properties ANCESTOR_NAMES, GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [TestSec5.TestSec5]
Can somebody tell me if is possible to change the way in that OBI built the query or if is possible to use aggregations previously materialized of essbase?

hi Amol,
1. On what basis , did you estimate your cube to around 400GB to 600GB.
2. If ASO is an option, its huge advantage lies in space, its does not take more space , unlike BSO.
3. I have seen cubes ,who size was around 300-400GB in BSO,when made the same cube into ASO , its consumed space of 40GB-45GB.
HOpe this helps

Essbase ASO - How to aggregate all Parents in multiple dimensions when using member formulas

We are trying to add a few MDX member formulae on some of our Accounts in the ASO cube. We recently understood that member formulas in ASO calculate both LEVEL0 and Parent members of other dimensions, So we are trying to tell Essbase to calculate LEVEL0's only and to aggregate all other levels in all dimensions. However we are unable to get the syntax right. Below is what we so far have
AccA has below formula:
CASE WHEN ISLEVEL([Period].Currentmember,0)
THEN
AccX+AccY
WHEN ISLEVEL([Period].Currentmember,1) OR ...etc
THEN SUM({LEAVES([Period].Currentmember)},[AccA])
END
This does work fine and gives correct values for Parent members in Period dimension. But we also have 3 other dimensions like Product, Area and Entity. We tried the below but this throws an error during retrival.
CASE WHEN ISLEVEL([Period].Currentmember,0)
THEN AccX+AccY
WHEN ISLEVEL([Period].Currentmember,1) OR ...etc
THEN SUM({LEAVES([Period].Currentmember),LEAVES([Product].Currentmember)},[AccA])
END
Should we add multiple SUM commands in there? All we want to do is tell Essbase to aggregate all other dimensions to parent levels. Please help.

Sorry to reiterate the post again.
DanPressman Was wondering what would be other way to write calculations other than Accounts.
I have a case where the user wants to calculate Ending Equity and this should be calculated at level0 using the rates and all parents of entity has to aggregate.
1. Level0 of entities calculate with rates
2. aggregate its children to parent entity
I have used solve order to get it work but taking a lot of time.
Is there any other alternative way of doing it? Which other dimension i can choose to perform this calculation? This is exactly similar to productsum calculation

ASO Allocation EXCLUDERANGE syntax question

am developing an allocation script and need to be able to exclude certain members identified by UDAs from the allocation. When I try to use the UDA function in the excludedrange specification I cannot find a solution to the requirement to have the excluded range statement in double quotes as well as the UDA value. Script is as follows:
execute allocation process on database app.db with
pov "Crossjoin({[Final]},
Crossjoin({[b701]},
Crossjoin({[c21001]},
Crossjoin({[i000]},
Crossjoin({[All Reports]},
Crossjoin({[All Channels]},{[a41510]})
amount "[PD08]"
amountcontext "([l0999],[Act],[2013])"
target "([Alloc],[PD08],[2013])"
range "Attribute([Status_Open])"
excludedrange "UDA([Location], "Exclude_Alloc_1")"
spread
Can anyone suggest an escape character combination that might work ?
Thanks,
Gavin

Essbase mem allocation by operating system

Everyone,
I have heard that depending on the operating system only a certain amount of memory can be dedicated for each application in Essbase - for example 4GBs in Solaris, 2GBs in Windows, 1.7GBs in AIX.
We are looking to run in a Windows 64bit environment (it looks like we will have 4 applications) so would it really only make sense to size the server for, say 10 GBs of memory (8 for the Essbase applications, 2 for other processes)? Would it make sense to move to an OS with more available memory per application?
Update: Forgot to mention - we will be using version 9.3.1
Thanks,
weep

A couple of other things to consider.
If you are not using 64-bit Essbase on the 64-bit machine you are still bound by the 32-bit barrier imposed by that OS on a per application basis. Each DB within an application shares the same memory space as they are each handled by the same ESSSVR.exe process.
If you are going to have large ASO cubes which may benefit from really big cache sizes (multiple GB).

Data load in Essbase ASO cube

Hi,
I have not been using ASO cube before and had worked only on BSO cubes. Now I have a requirement to create a rule file to load data in to an ASO Essbase cube. I have created a data load rule file as I was creating for a BSO cube which is correctly validating. However when I am doing the data load I am getting following warning:
"Aggregate storage applications ignore update to derived cells. [480] cells skipped"
I have investigated further and found that ASO cube does not allow data loading at upper levels & on members calculated through formulas. After this I have ensured that I am loading the data in to zero level members and members which are not calculated through formula. But still I am not able to do the data load & getting the same warning.
Could you please help me and let me know if there is anything else which I am missing here?
Thanks in advance...
AKW

Hi AKW,
"Aggregate storage applications ignore update to derived cells. [480] cells skipped"This is only a warning message that means only those many cells were skipped might be for some reasons like any member pointing to those cells will be missing.
If you want to copy the Data of your BSO cube to an ASO Application why dont you use an PARTIONING it will copy your whole data from BSO to ASO (If Outline is common in both then copy any member of Sparse dimension like "Scenario 1" from Source i.e. BSO, to same member like "Scenario 1" in Target i.e ASO ),
This is only an alternate wayThanks
