Essbase cannot union mutliple groups with Essbase filter

Hi All,
I got a problem to provisioning on Shared Service.
In some case, I need to grant multiple filters to a Essbase users, say user01.
However, each user can associated one Essbase filter only.
For better management, I create multiple groups with different filters and assign the user, user01, into the groups.
For first two groups are working normally. However, Essbase cannot "union" all filters from multiple groups after the users join the third groups.
However, I try to combine the three filter into a filter with three rows. It is working!!!
It is because there are large number of users in external LDAP. It is unmanageable when combining multiple filters into a filters. Is there any way to solve this problem? or is there any better approach to do the security ?
Thanks in advance!!!

TKC

Thanks for your reply.
I have following structure in Essbase. I try to make it simple to understand.
Dept (dimension)
|_C00
|_CTTL
|_C01
|_C02
Project (dimension)
|_GEN
|_P01
|_P02
|_P03
|_PI
|_A
|_P01 (shared member)
|_B
|_P02 (shared member)
|_P03 (shared member)
Group A with Filter F01
Read - CTTL, IDESCENDENT(A)
Group B with Filter F02
Read - C01, P01, P02
User joins A and B group.
The end result of user is that
he can access CTTL of P01 only
he can access C01 of P01 and P02 only
he cannot access C02 of any Project dimension
he cannot access CTTL of P03
However, I found that when I change to metaread. The result is going wrong.
he can access C01 of P01, P02 and P03 only.
It is because I need to block user to view members which he cannot access.
I need "metaread" function.
So somebody tell me how to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Cannot create a group with no members through DAS

I'm using OID 10.1.2.0.2.
It seems that the DAS Self Service Console cannot work with groups with no members:
- When creating a group, it always assigns orcladmin as a member.
- When deleting the last member from a group, an error is shown ("Require at least one user or group member").
- If you create an empty group via other means (e.g. the oidadmin tool), the group will not be visible in the "role assignment" section when creating a new user (even though we enabled that group for role assignment in the "user entry" configuration). After adding one member through the "edit group" page, the role shows up in the role assignment section.
I have a couple of questions regarding this:
1) Is this limitation (group must have at least one member) an ldap or OID limitation, or is it only a DAS or even "self service console" limitation?
2) Why is this limitation there?
3) Is there a way to work around this, i.e. make self service console be able to handle empty groups?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Johan

I do not agree that a group owner should be a member of that group. For example, I have a group "admins" and a group "analysts". The "admins" group is owner of the "analysts" group, since the users in the "admins" group must be able to create users and assign them to the "analysts" group. However, the "admins" group is not member of the "analysts" group, because I do not want the admins to act as analysts in my application. Ownership of a group (being able to manage it) and membership of a group are two different things. Besides, I also do not understand why the OIDDAS makes the orcladmin user a member of every group that you create there.
Of course, eventually I will have members in my group. But why is it a problem that there are initially no members of a group? I see no reason at all why this would be a problem.
The reason why I ask this is that creating an empty group (initially) is a requirement of my setup process. I am trying to release a clean setup script (with an ldif file) out of development, that our operational department can use to set things up. I want my ldif file to prepare all the necessary groups and owners, but not to create members in those groups (that's the task of the operational people).
However, as soon as I have these empty groups in place, the OIDDAS starts to act strangely (namely, the groups are not visible in the "role assignment" section when creating a user, until there is at least one member in the groups). That's when I found out that the OIDDAS actually does not like having empty groups (error when creating group without members, error when removing last member, ...).
If anyone knows, can you give me one good reason why the OIDDAS does not allow empty groups (or making groups empty)? As far as I can see, the OID/LDAP itself does not have a problem with this (you can create an empty group without any problem via the oidadmin application, or via import of an ldif file).
Thanks,
Johan

Mac OS X Lion - Cannot Rename Project Files with Search Filter Applied !

Hi...
as the header says...
I wanted to rename 6 Clips of 777 and entered the search string... In my case, GolfBag.
I wanted to rename them.
They were spread out between 777 clips so looking for them individually was not viable, so I entered a search string,
they popped up nicely in the project panel as expected only I could NOT rename them not even by right-clicking them and selecting 'rename' from the context menu.
I tried saving the project and re-opening it but that did not help.
I tried creating a new project from scratch to make sure the project had not currupted. But there I found the same problem...
Could any of you shed some light on this ' I dont think to be interpreted as a feature '
Thanks

Help with Essbase 9 and the Java API

Hi, I am trying to connect to Essbase from a Java desktop application and I am unable to do so. I need to know if I am in principle doing the right things and if I have the correct environment set up.
We have a server with Essbase version 9.3.1. We normally use essbase via the Excel Addin, and I have already written Excel applications that utilise both the addin and the Essbase VB API. Now I need to connect to Essbase but from outside Excel and using the Java API. I have no idea what APS is nor does my Essbase Administrator.
My application has the following code (adapted from a post in this forum) -
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s_userName = "user";
String s_password = "password";
String s_olapSvrName = "ustca111";
String s_provider = "http://localhost:13080/aps/JAPI";
try{
IEssbase ess = IEssbase.Home.create(IEssbase.JAPI_VERSION);
IEssDomain dom = ess.signOn(s_userName, s_password, false, null, s_provider);
IEssOlapServer olapSvr = dom.getOlapServer(s_olapSvrName);
olapSvr.connect();
System.out.println("Connection to Analyic server '" + olapSvr.getName() + "' was successful.");
olapSvr.disconnect();
}catch(EssException exp){
System.out.println(exp.getMessage());
I am running my application on my computer, not on the Essbase server, and the username I am using is the same one I use (as a user of Essbase) via the Essbase Addin in Excel, not an admin login.
When I run the app I get:
"Cannot connect to Provider Server.Make sure the signon parameters are correct and the Provider Server is running."
Please can you confirm:
1) Do I need an admin login for my client application to connect to the Essbase server or can I use a normal read-access login, like the one I use in Excel?
2) Is the provider always the same regardless of the computer, i.e. "http://localhost:13080/aps/JAPI"; How do I know what this has to be? Where do I get this information from?
3) How can I make sure that the Server is running the necessary "Provider Server", is this just a service that will show on services.msc of the server? What should I ask the Essbase Administrator for him to tell me what I need?
Thank you very much.
Leo

Tim, when I look in my computer's Essbase installation path I can only find the following jar files (from the ones you have listed).
C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\JavaAPI\external\css\log4j-1.2.8.jar
C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\JavaAPI\lib\ess_es_server.jar
C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\JavaAPI\lib\ess_japi.jar
I do not have css-9_3_1.jar or interop-sdk.jar.
In order to try the embedded mode, I added the three jars I have to the classpath, and have re-built and ran with "embedded" as the provider. This is what I got in my output screen:
run:

Doing OBIEE with Essbase as datasource, anybody who has experience?

Hello guys
Does anybody have good experience dealing with essbase data on OBIEE? Essbase doesn't seem to be a relational database like oracle, data are stored as cube. One cube contains dimesion and fact attributes with hierarchical levels defined in essbase.
I don't have experience dealing with these type of scenario, therefore I run into a lot of issues when I try to create report on answers..
Typically, when I apply any conversation functions or "SQL expression" values on date column filters or contents (such as cast(column as date), or filter on current_date on SQL Expressions) and create reports with measures, I get errors: [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
If create reports only with date column alone with the above applied, I get errors like inconsistent data type or something..
I believe that for some reasons when OBIEE sends the query to essbase and get converted into MDX, something got lost in translations.
With the same environment, I imagine if I were to create some dynamic variables with select statement, it will also not work since there is no "column" and "table" in essbase the same way as in relational database. So how would I define dynamic variables with max sales or something?
So is there any help I can get in terms of dealing with essbase on obiee?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Without access to the rpd you're not going to get far. Yes, you can achieve both things, but it will mean writing MDX and to use MDX in both the filters and the columns is not something I'd recommend since you'll be facing loads of issues.
Date filter:
The "normal" function you're using won't work. That's for sure. You will have to wrap the whole thing into an EVALUATE and write MDX...like the Lag function I mentioned before. If your time dimension is just taken over from Essbase in the normal drag-and-drop way, then it won't be a full "time dimension" anyway.
A column formula along the lines of this:
EVALUATE('[Time Period].[2009-04-15].Lag(7)')
Measure calculation:
Again, without access to the rpd this will be pretty hard to do due to the question where the aggregation actually happens. Venkat wrote about that recently.

Custom Calculation terminated with Essbase error 1200685 in POV

I'm trying to improve the efficiency of an ASO calculation script by limiting the scope of the calculation using a filter within the POV.
When I do this, I get an error that says MDX error: A symmetric set expression is expected. Custom Calculation terminated with Essbase error 1200685 in POV.
Using a similar filter in an mdx query I can see that I should be updating approximately 5000 data points. That query returns data in less than a minute. If I remove the filter, the calc will run over 16 hours and not complete (I've killed it at that point). [FI - Begining Balance Calc] is a calculated member, which is dependent on other calculations. I'm thinking that the calculation is churning for all of the potential member combinations regardless of sparseness of the data.
Error 1200685 is not documented in the Essbase Error Message guide. Any ideas on this anyone?
calc_1.txt contains:
[FI - Beginning Balance Stored] := [FI - Beginning Balance Calc];
execute calculation on database REVFCTA.REVFCTA with
local script_file "E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\app\REVFCTA\REVFCTA\calc_1.txt"
POV "FILTER(CROSSJOIN(
CROSSJOIN(
CROSSJOIN(
CROSSJOIN(
CROSSJOIN(
CROSSJOIN({[Y.2011]},{[SEG.S0001]}),
{[FORECAST]}),
[ASSET TYPE].Levels(0).members),
[FUND_INVESTOR].levels(0).members),
[OZ_FUND].levels(0).members),
{[PER.2]}), NOT ISEMPTY([FI - Beginning Balance]))"
SourceRegion "({[FI - Beginning Balance Calc]})";
This is the mdx query:
SELECT
{[FI - Beginning Balance Calc]} ON COLUMNS,
FILTER(CROSSJOIN(CROSSJOIN([FUND_INVESTOR].Levels(0).members,
[ASSET TYPE].LEVELS(0).MEMBERS),
OZ_FUND.[OZ_FUND].LEVELS(0).MEMBERS), NOT ISEMPTY([FI - Beginning Balance]))
ON ROWS
FROM [REVFCTA.REVFCTA]
WHERE ([Y.2011],[PER.2],[SEG.S0001],[FORECAST])

I don't think it's so much that it no longer applies in current versions as that people don't understand that it only ever applied if you had multiple conditions testing more than one dense member.
I still think that...
FIX("Dense1", "Sparse1")
     Do something to Dense1
ENDFIX
FIX"Dense2", "Sparse1")
     Do something to Dense2
ENDFIX
...is often going to be slower than...
FIX("Sparse1")
     IF "Dense1"
          Do something to Dense1
     IF "Dense2"
          Do something to Dense2
ENDFIX
...unless the subset of blocks is small enough that caching (Essbase or OS) results in the "Sparse1" blocks not having to be read from / written back to disk twice.

Planning not communicating with Essbase server

Hi,
I've done a fresh install for 64 bit EPM 11.1.1.3. Every individual component is running fine. I can log into SS,EAS console, create delete application on essbase server, log into workspace and planning.
However when I'm trying to create a datasource and trying to connect to Essbase database -> press validate button - i get an error called "an error occured" on a blank white screen. I'm trying to login using admin user id..
Are there any preliminary steps involved in configuring planning with essbase ?
What should I look for here.. which log files?. There is not much info in planning log file...
Any pointers will be appreciated.. Thanks in advance!!

Office 2007 compatibility with essbase 7.1.0

Hi All,
Recently our user group has been upgraded to Office 2007 from office 2003 and Present essbase version is 7.1.0.
I think officialy there will be no compatility of excel 2007 with essbase 7.x versions.
I have seen some posts that classic essbase client 9.3.1 supports with essbase 7.x versions, though oracle will not provide any support if there are any issues.
can anybody have any ideas, that i can suggest to client.
Regards,
Stally.

Hi,
If you are using Excel 2007 please follow below instructions to set up the (Essbase client)Excel addin 7.x.
After installing Essbase addin
Go into Excel 2007 "Excel Options. and select Add-ins. Go to Excel Addin. Browse.
You'll need to manually load 2 files.
1: Browse and go to C:/Program Files/Office12/1033/Exptoows.xla OK (It will install into the add-in list.) This may install through the install wizard
2: Browse and go to C:/Hyperion/Essbase/Bin/Essexcln.xll OK (It will install into the add-in list.)
Now you can see Essbase tab when you open Excel...
Regards,
Prabhas

Connection Xcelsius with essbase

Hi expert.
Can ESSBASE is an external datasource for Xcelsius ?
and Have anybody know about the step for connect with essbase ?
Thank you

Hi
You cannot run Essbase queries directly within Xcelsisu as it uses VBA/COM addins to work which are not supported.
If you have SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise, look at creating a Universe over your Essbase queries and then use Webi or QaaWS to populate your Xcelsius model.
Regards
Charles

Error in access with Essbase Studio Console

We get error to connect with Essbase Studio Console.
"children for Root. Reason: Unknown package name 'drillthrough'.Line = 1."
It is a new installation.
EPM 11.1.2.2

Hi,
During the installation of Essbase Studio only, ess_es_server.jar and ess_japi.jar are missing. If you install both Essbase and Studio, they are not missing.
This is due to unpublished bug 14232814 - DURING THE INSTALLATION ONLY STUDIO SOME .JAR FILES NOT INSTALLED
Try the following:
Stop Essbase Studio
copy files into EPMSystem11R1\common\EssbaseJavaAPI\11.1.2.0\lib
ess_es_server.jar
ess_japi.jar
If folder does not exist create it.
1. Stop essbase Studio.
2. Drop tables from relational database
3. Recreate tables.
4. Start Essbase Studio.
Scripts for dropping & recreating catalog located under

Hope it helps....

Sum Aggregation Error in Physical & BMM Layer in OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11

Hi everyone,
I'm using OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11 as the data source. I'm using Sample Basic database from the Essbase as my data source. If I'm using the hierarchy for the measures (so I don't flatten the measures), and when I changed the aggregation in both physical and BMM layer from Aggregate_External to Sum, I can't create a report at all from the Answers.
Does anyone encounter the same thing? Any ideas/solution about this? Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Deepak,
When I picked the "Basic - measure" alone, I got this error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Unknown Member Basic - measure used in query (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "Sample Basic"."Basic"."Basic - measure" s_1 FROM "Sample Basic".
When I picked the "Gen1,Measures" alone from the measure dimension, I got this error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "Sample Basic"."Measures"."Gen1,Measures" s_1, SORTKEY("Sample Basic"."Measures"."Gen1,Measures") s_2 FROM "Sample Basic"
But when I queried the dimensions one by one (only single dimension each), no error was shown.
This only happens if I use Sum in the physical and BMM layer. If I use External_Aggregation, these errors do not happen. And if I flatten the measures, these errors also do not happen.

Oracle Table Values are not displayed when tried to display with Essbase

Hi,
I was trying to create a report with Oracle RDB Table and Essbase by following the steps given in "Federating Essbase and Relational Data Sources in Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Plus" document at the location http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/fed_data/fed_data.html.
I am able to see the members from the Essbase cubes and I can also see the Oracle Table values, if they are displayed individually (i.e. different reports) but when I try to get one report with Essbase values with Oracle table records then Oracle table records are not displayed and when see the query log I don't see the query for Oracle table but I see obviously MDX queries for the essbase.
Please help.

Paresh

Hi,
Smitha, you can defnetly use dynamic table in interactive form. I had similar problem and I acheived like follwing:Basically you have to bind the table .
If you want to have fixed number of rows in the interactive form, then in wddoinit method bind the internal table to ur table node. for exmaple: if u want 2 rows in the form loop times . So by default when you open the form you will get two rows for the table.
**************BIND THE ITAB ****************************
DO 2 TIMES.
APPEND LW_LFBK TO LT_LFBK.
CLEAR LW_LFBK.
ENDDO.
CALL METHOD lo_nd_t_lfbk->bind_table
EXPORTING
new_items = LT_LFBK.
If you want to have dynmic table then take a submit button in the form instead of normal button,
in onaction submit write a loop every time you click that new submit button it should add a new row.
use above coding in onactionsubmit instead of doinit.
Thats it.

Ravi

EPMA batch client with Essbase application - does not update aliases

Hello,
We are using EPMA 11.1.2.1 for managing outlines for Essbase applications.
Changing aliases in EPMA and launching manually redeploy from Workspace, with flag "Full Deploy" change correctly the aliases in Essbase..
Using the EPMA batch client to redeploy the Essbase application deletes all aliases in Essbase outline.
Someone knows how to solve this problem or what am I doing wrong in the EPMA script?
thanks...
this is the EPMA script:
SET bpmaserverurl=http://epma_server/hyperion-bpma-server;
SET workspaceurl=http://work_space_server/workspace;
login admin,password;
Execute reDeploy
Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, waitforcompletion, deployOption)
Values('PNL', 'ESSBASE_STUDIO_SERVER:essbase_server_name', 'True', 'AppView');
Quit;

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description it seems that you are facing issue only with windows 8\8.1. So firstly suggest you to check with application support team, whether they have whole support for application with newer version. Also check once with application support team
regarding this issue.
This issue occurs because the local taskbar does not receive the EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE event from the system due to a timing issue. The EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE is needed to update the taskbar title information.
More information (For reference).
The taskbar may not show the application name correctly when using a Terminal Server RemoteApp
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
