Essbase Cube Linking With Sql

Hi,experts!!!!!!!
I have Essbase Studio From Epm 11.1.2.1 Version,the thing is that i have to link the Essbase cube to sql,can you suggest any solutions or can just give me info about drill back method in essbase studio...

The documentation on drill-through is a good place to start http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_user/ch17.html

Essbase cube refereshment with minimal down time

Database Application Development
HI All,
I have one requirement. At present I have one cube in my essbase application. Essbase is the source for report.
I need to refresh the cubes daily.
Please guide me how I can refresh the cubes with out stopping users.
Thanks !
EB

The best way is to understand the peak usage hours of each application by specific users and refresh when they are not being used and when the usage becomes low.That way you can refresh multiple times understanding the usage hours and without having to kick out the users.
However what John shared is a more worthy approach with the only exceptions to the modifications being made to the cubes.
I think I will be waiting for the next blog post which expands this topic !
Cheers,

Multibyte issue in database link with sql server

Hi Gurus,
Greetings!!!
I need to transfer data from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to Oracle DAtabase 10g(AL32UTF8 characterset). I achieved it using Heterogeneous Connectivity. I can now issue queries but unfortunately i got an issue in displaying multibyte characters. I thought of using another Tool that can display multibyte data but it did not help. I even tried setting the initialization parameter HS_LANGUAGE to different characterset but still not able to display. Kindly help and advise how to resolve the said issue.
Many Thanks in Advance,
Benjie

What is the exact issue you're talking about?
Can you explain it or show us a sort of it with a sample output?
MS SQL Server is not our daily bread so we may not know how it works with Oracle and what problems are there in their interconnectivity, but we may tell you what may be the reason of a behavior that causes the issues for your purpose.

Waiting for help. What thing im missing.....

Hi Naeem,
You have said the install setup is -
ORACLE_HOME = D:\Oracle\Product\11.2.0\dbhome
GATEWAY_HOME = D:\Oracle\Product\11.2.0\tg
but in the listener.ora you have set ORACLE_HOME for the gateway as -
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\Oracle\Product\11.2.0\dbhome)
To use DG4ODBC installed in the 'tg' ORACLE_HOME then you should configure a listener in the gateway OH -
D:\Oracle\Product\11.2.0\tg\network\admin
and start this listener. This listener will need to use a different port from the RDBMS listener in the other OH.
Change the gateway tnsnames.ora entry used by the RDBMS to reflect this port change.
One other point - SQL*Server is case sensitive so you may need to create the database link as -
create database link sqlserver connect to "uoracle" identified by "uoracle" using 'sqlserver';
if the user/password are defined in lower case in SQL*Server.
Also, the same for object names depending on the SQL*Server configuration -
select "column_name" from "owner"."table_name"@sqlserver ;
Regards,
Mike

EAL replicated Essbase cube empty

Hi,
I am trying to build a replicated Essbase cube using EAL from HFM, all 11.1.2.2. The EAL bridge shows green across the board, so all good. When I build a transparent cube, I can see the data in Essbase, nio problems. Now I am trying to build a replicated cube, using the same region and Essbase grid definition as for the transparent. The outline gets built fine, and when I go to retrieve, it does the retrieve, shows the status bar, and eventually comes back with Successful.
However when I look at the replicated cube there is no data in it, no blocks were created, nothing. When I look in the EAL log, there are no errors, the last entry refers to Extract Region with a list of the dimensions, nothing more. I tried using both Embedded and a specific APS URL in the Essbase cube link in EAL. Like I said the transparent cube is fine, so I believe the region and grid definitions are valid, so I cannot understand why the data is not in the replicated cube.
Anyone has experienced anything similar and might have some hints?

Could the level 0 data have been zeroed out, and no agg run to propagate the zeros (or #Missing) to upper levels?
Did you at one time have some data in the database, then lock n send to overwrite?
If you had performed a database reset, that would leave no page file. If you simply overwrote data, then you could have some fragmentation (when data is overwritten, the data is written to a new space in the page file with the index pointing to new data. This leaves the prior data behind with no index pointer to it, but it's still in the page file.)
Was the export file of all data, or level zero data?
If it was level 0 export, perform an export all (3mb is not that much) to verify if there is any data. If not, I'd chalk it up to fragmentation.

ODBC Link ans SQL Server

Hi!
So I tried to create a ODBC link with SQL server, but there is a problem during the authentification process.
When I try to use authentification thanks to SQL server, even with 'sa' user enabled, this error shows up
Connection failed:
SQLState: '28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'myUser'.
When I try to use authentification with Windows ID, another error shows up :
Connection faled:
SQLState: '28000'
SQL Server Error: 18452
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication.
The server is a VPS server and there is no domain to configure.
I already tried to switch to mixed authentification, with it I can easily connect to SQL server with SQL server Management Studio. I also already browsed SQL Server Configuration Manager in order to set a static (not dynamic) port, TCP/IP are enabled in SQL
server Network Configuration / Protocols for SQLEXPRESS but it still doesn't work. Ofc I restarted SQL server several times and I even tried to uninstall/reinstall it.
Finally, this error shows up when I start SQL Server agent with SQL server Configuration Manager.
>The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.
I tried to find out what is the problem by reading the logs but there is nothing about the failed authentification attempts there. It only shows some services starting or stopping.
I read somewhere that it the VIA protocol could be the problem, but I can't find it anywhere in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
I've been struggling for days with this. you're my only hope
thanks!

I juste forgot to explain that I have to do this for a client who will use a software of my company and this software needs this ODBC link to communicate with SQL Server. Also the users will connect to the server in TSE (so the application will be on the
same server than SQL Server). I don't know if this detail is important but I prefer specify.
"If it works in SSMS to connect with a SQL Login, then it should work with ODBC by using the same server name/credentials from the sam Client."
I entered 'sa' user and another user that I created in SQL Server but I have the same error (login fail for user)
"Are remote Connections enabled? Is a Firewall running on server and/or Client side? If so unblock the required TCP and UDP ports."
Remote Connections are enabled on the server and there's just Windows Firewall on the server. I unblocked resquired TCP and UDP Ports. Even with the Windows Firewall turned off I have this problem.

Linking existing Essbase Cube to Planning

My business team created an Essbase cube, and now they want us to link that cube to Planning.
I opened an SR and I was told the following:
1. Ensure you have a test environment to create this new Planning app before moving to production.
2. Create a new Planning app in the test environment with the same name as the production Essbase cube.
3. Export all Essbase data.
4. Copy over the outline to the new Essbase cube in the test env. You can copy over the rest of the Essbase objects as needed (calc scripts, report scripts, etc).
5. Import the Essbase data into the new Essbase cube.
6. refresh Planning
Everything went well except for Step 6. When I do the refresh from Planning, the Essbase Outline gets updated with the one from Planning which doesn't have anything since it was just created.
I need to refresh the Planning Outline with the the one from Essbase that does have the data the users have been working on.
Thanks.

Hi,
You will have to define all the dimension membes etc to Planning. Because Essbase is the database, it will be updated with planning information... There are no shortcuts.. But you can export your dimension members from existing Essbase and load into planning using HAL/ODI/DIM..
Use outline extractor tool to get the existing dimensionality and create 1 metadata file per dimensions.
I believe Oracle support thought that you want to create a new Essbase cube from existing Planning cube.
Cheers

Essbase Error(1021001) Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database...?

Hi there!
I am very new in Essbase and I am receiving the error message quoted below while trying to load data in a Cube. Weird thing is that we have checked all connections already and they are working correctly, however this process is still failing.
If someone can give us an idea to troubleshoot it, that would be really appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance for any help and regards!

So, we checked the database and noticed the schema and their views were damaged and -due to this- they lost all their properties (like data types, for example). So, we had to recompile all of them in order to avoid any loss of data. This was done in TOAD, as per the following info: https://support.quest.com/SolutionDetail.aspx?id=SOL66821
Finally, once all the views on this schema were rebuilt and fixed, we were able to deploy the Cube again.
Hope this help in the future. Cheers!!

Essbase Studio Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Data

Hi.
I have trying to deploy a cube with Essbase Studio but I get the error: "*Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server*"
My environment is Linux 5, Oracle 11g and EPM 11.1.1.2. Oracle database and Essbase was installed with diferent users. In the .bash_profile of hypadmin user (that install Essbase) I have set the following variables
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracledb/product/11.1.0

In my pc (windows xp) I can open Essbase Studio console, do the connection to Oracle database, get tables and create minischema, mesures and hierarchies (I can see the preview of hierarchies). Also I can create cubes with EAS and can connect with MAXSHELL to essbase.
When I try to deploy the cube from Essbaes Studio y get the error "Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server".

Hi,
If you type database SID in lowercase, try to reenter iot in uppercase. Strange, but I and my colleagues encounter this behaviour many times.

Essbase Studio - Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server

Hi all,
I am new to Hyperion and am having trouble deploying what seems a simple cube in Essbase Studio.
My environment is Windows 2003, EPM 11.1.1.2, SQL Server 2000.
I have the following two issues which may be related.
1. The EPM System Diagnostic tool says that Hyperion Foundation cannot connect to the SQL database.
Error:
Failed: Connection to database
Error: java.net.UnknownHostException: <server name: <server name>
Recommended Action:
Every other EPM application is able to connect to the database. I have tried re-configuring Foundation Services and checking the config files and nothing looks wrong. I would appreciate advice on how to fix this.
2 In Essbase Studio, I was able to connect to the database where the source data is, build the minischema and create dimensions and measures. But when I run the cube deployment wizard I get the error:
Message: Failed to deploy Essbase cube
Caused By: Failed to build Essbase cube dimension: (Time)
Caused By: Cannot incremental build. Essbase Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
…ODBC Layer Error: [08001] ==> [[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.]
I have checked the DSN as well as the connections set up within Studio, and they are all able to connect to the database. I am using the admin user for the Essbase server and have created a different user for the databases where the data resides and the shared services database. I tried using the same user all the way through and this didn’t help.
Can you please advise what else I can check or change to resolve this issue.
Also, can you work in EAS with cubes that are created in Studio? I tried looking at it and I got an error that the rule file couldn’t be accessed because it was created in Studio.
After the above failures, I tried creating a cube in EIS, with mixed success. I have been able to load the members and data without errors. But when I try to view the data in the cube, I am seeing field names for the measures instead of the data itself.
...Definitely more questions than answers at this stage of my learning.
Regards
Michelle

Michelle,
I don't know if you found an answer to you question after so many months but I was hoping I could be helpful.
The issue you are experience happens often when the dimension that you are getting an error on, in this case TIME, is built from a snowflake lineage and there is a bad foreign key reference. This dimension is most like high-up in your outline build process for Essbase Studio and this prevents the build from happening usually early on.
Check your logs also. They are in Hyperion > Products > logs > essbase > essbasestudio.
You can also make your logs more verbose by setting a configuration variable in the essbase studio server.properties file but that should only be used for debugging as it really saps performance.
And, yes, you can of course edit an Essbase Studio deployed cube in EAS. However, any changes you make to the cube in EAS are subject to being wiped-out upon the next Essbase Studio deployment of that Applicaion/Database combo.
If you want to provide more detail, screenshots, etc. I would be glad to help where I can.
Cheers,
Christian

Combining relation facts with dimensions from an Essbase cube

Hi!
I am having trouble combining relational measures (from EBS) with dimensions from an Essbase cube. The dimensions that we want to use for reporting (drilling etc) are in an Essbase cube and the facts are in EBS.
I have managed to import both the EBS tables and the cube into OBIEE (11.1.15) and I have created a business model on the cube. For the cube I converted the accounts dimension to a value based dimension, other than that it was basically just drag and drop.
In this business model I created a new logical table with an LTS consisting of three tables from the relational database.
The relational data has an account key that conforms to the member key of the accounts dimension in the Essbase cube. So in the accounts dimension (in the BMM layer) I mapped the relational column to correct column (that is already mapped to the cube) - this column now has two sources; the relational table and the cube. This account key is also available in the LTS of my fact table.
The content levels for the LTS in the fact table have all been set to detail level for the accounts dimension.
So far I am able to report on the data from the fact table (only relational data) and I can combine this report with account key from the account dimension (because this column is mapped to the relational source as well as the cube). But if expand the report with a column (from the accounts dimension) that is mapped only to the cube (the alias column that contains the description of the accounts key), I get an error (NQSError 14025 - see below).
Seeing as how I have modeled that the facts are connected to the dimension through the common accounts key, I cannot understand why OBIEE doesn't seem to understand which other columns - from the same dimension - to fetch.
If this had been in a relational database I could have done this very easily with SQL; something along the lines of select * from relational_fact, dim_accounts where relational_fact.account_key=dim_accounts.account_key.
Error message:
[nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail
Edit:

Mogens

Avneet gave you the beginnings of one way, but left out that a couple of things. First, you would want to do the export of level zero only. Second, the export needs to be in column format and third, you need to make sure the load rule you use is set to be additive otherwise the last row will overwrite the previouse values.
A couple of other wats I can think of doing this
Create a replicated partition that maps the 3 non used dimensiosn to null (Pick the member at the top of the dimension in your mapping area)
Create a report script to extract the data putting the three dimensions in the page so they don't show up.
Use the custom defined function jexport in a calc script to get what you want
