Essbase Date issue

Hi,
I have an essbase cube integration with OBIEE. Now, I have dates as measure in Essbase. When I fetch those dates in OBIEE, they appear to be in numeric format. How to show those dates as date format? Any idea?
Thanks

A date as a measure. While I know that Essbase cube builders like to do that, let me nevertheless ask the question:
Just how do you think / expect that a date should behave as a measure in the context of dimensional analysis?

Odi 11g - IKM SQL to Hyperion Essbase (DATA) log file always empty

In odi 11g when using *"IKM SQL to Hyperion Essbase (DATA)"* setting the the "LOG_ENABLED" = true,
only an empty file are generated.
Just "LOG_ERRORS" file (if errors occurs) are created.
Is this just an my issue?
Can someone help me?
p.s.: the same issue, I got even with the *"IKM SQL to Hyperion Planning"*
Thx in advance, Paolo

Thanks John for your suggestion.
here the patch *"Patch 10302682: IKM SQL TO PLANNING: LOG FILE IS CREATED BUT NOTHING INSIDE."*
I didn't see any other about Essbase...
I try to check all day on support site.

Essbase performance issue

Hi all,
We encounter a Essbase perfromance issue that we don't know the root cause.
We have configured a server to run Essbase with 8 core CPU and 16GB RAM. We found that the Essbase calculation can use up to 80% CPU and about 8GB RAM only. I also checked the IO rate at the same time but the disk loading is not very heavy. We just suspect that what kind of resource are waiting at Essbase calculation engine? It is not CPU bounded, memory bounded, and IO bounded.
Do you think it can help if we keep the whole Essbase database (around 30GB) into RAM based disk drive can speed up the IO performance?
Thanks if you have some ideas for us to investigate.

I'm confused -- is it CPU bound or not?
You write:
We found that the Essbase calculation can use up to 80% CPU and about 8GB RAM only.Do you mean 80% of all eight of your CPUs? That sure sounds CPU-bound to me. In fact, I wish (within reason) that most of my Essbase calculations worked that way -- that would men that I have the disck caches tuned to their utmost efficiency.
This means you're getting data from disk almost as fast as is possible.
You're not going to be able to get everything into memory for two reasons:
1) 30 GB of .IND and .PAG/.DAT files isn't going to fit into Essbase's addressable memory space. See: using RAM disk to speed up Essbase calculation and rollup
2) Even when the database is nice and small and you can stick the whole thing in a cache, uncompressed, Essbase still is "smart" and will keep a portion of it on disk during calcs -- this doesn't make sense in isolation, but empirically, you can monitor disk usage during a supposedly database that is in theory total enclosed in the cache and see it getting hit. This may be related to Essbase's general housekeeping -- I don't know. In any case, this is generally not a real world case, unless you're running your business on my Very Favorite Database In The Whole Wide World -- Sample.Basic.
Or are you saying that you will define a real (and it would help if you really could allocate real RAM, and not an OS-managed sort-of-RAM-sort-of-DASD situation) RAM drive and point Essbase there. That is sort of risky, isn't it? How will you flush it to real DASD for backup? Exports?

Essbase data backup - 9.3.1

Hi All,
I have a question around Essbase data backups.
We are on 9.3.1 and the Essbase data files (.ind and .pag) are under the default location (Hyperion\Essbase\App etc).
One of our apps is 70gb and gets backed up nightly.
Now is it necessary to take an export of the data for the backup to be complete? My main concern is that exporting 70GB of data will take hours.
If for some reason we need to restore this app to another server, will copying all files under the Essbase\App\Appname folder also restore the data?
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Provided the Essbase application & database is stopped when the backup occurs, backing up the ind and pag files, as well as the Database outline(*.otl), *.tct , *.db, *.dbb, *.esm files should allow you to recover from a backup. I have had successfull recoveries from standard file backup of these files without issue, and in pretty good time.
I have not tried to restore to a different server. Usually when migrating, I copy the outline over, and export data from one database and import to the other.

Hi,
I am looking for documentation/link for how to configure Essbase data source in OBIEE 11g on UNIX system.
Thanks in advance

Hi Fayaz
First You need "BI Administrator Client Tool" cause you need to make changes with in RPD (repository) BUT "BI Administrator Client Tool" for Unix is not Available.
So you have download OBIEE 11.1.1.5 ""BI Administrator Client Tool" and Install it on Windows Platform.
Now regarding your Original Issue I am also looking for this Info.

Data Issue

Hi All ..
           We are facing one data issue DSO. One record is worngly loaded with some project iD ( Ex record is having ID GE1234 insted of having LE4423) remaining details are same . we are loading the data furtherly to master data table from the DSO. if i try for reporting for project id LE4423 ,information not avilable because it is heaving wrong ID,it is key also.But in the Source system (CFG) side Data is correct with ID LE4423.
         In update rule we are following one to one mapping for all infoobjects.My requirement is i need to have in my DSo LE4423 . I need to overwrite the record id GE1234 with LE4423 without affecting other fields in the record.
        Shall i load till PSA with the ID LE4423 ..then if load this single record to DSO will overwrite the GE1234 by choosing other field as key field. but we are following one to one mapping in update rule.
Please help me on this. i need to hev a correct id for record.
Thanks ,
Prem.

You can use selective deletion to delete the record with Project ID = GE1234
Load the data till PSA
Load the data to DSO using selection Project ID = LE4423 in DTP from PSA.
check in further data targets also for mismatch of data
Hope it helps,

Custom report -Mb51 -EBELN,AUFNR,KDAUF & KUNNR -Data issues

Hi,
This custom report is related to material document list (MB51).
I was trying to retrieve Purchase Order(EBELN),Order number(AUFNR),Sales order(KDAUF) & Ship-to-party( KUNNR) from MSEG & MKPF.
Unfortunately
It looks like for Sales Orders, it picks up the Customer Number but no Order Number. For STOs, it looks like it picks up the STO # but no Customer #.
How to over come this?
FYI..I also tried adding fields to standard report(MB51) and it is also doing the same manner .
Am I pulling it from Wrong tables? or is it related to DATA issues?
Regards

Consistent Data Issues Even After Replacement

I don't know whether to blame the phone or the ice cream sandwich update for all the problems I have been having with my RAZR. When I first got it six months ago it was great and I loved it now after the ice cream sandwich update I dont really like it anymore. I never had any sort of issues while using it on gingerbread. Today, I have seen my phone switch constantly between 3g and 4g more times than I can count over the course of half an hour. I couldn't even get a consistent signal to watch a 3 minute youtube clip.
First off, I updated it to ICS but first wiped the phone clean including cache, etc. So it would have basically been a clean install. Now, I have certain issues. The 4g and 3g switch is terrible. On the street and in my own house I have had the same thing happen. In my house I get anywhere from 3-5 bars of 4g but it still switches over to 4 bars of 3g. I have even seen it switch from 4g to 3g when I had full bars. I have already replaced the sim cards, but I am still having these issues. It's actually happening on all 4 of my RAZRs on my family plan. I have gone through the network resets where I pull out the sim card and for 30 seconds, insert it, power on the phone, etc. I went through all 4 of them with the Rep over the phone. I have also had several instances where I did not have data but signal bars and then I didn't have absolutely anything at all. I live in a "major" city metro area, Boston, and I can't believe I am having these problems.
At first I would have gone off and blamed Verizon, but it is definitely not Verizon, it is our phones that are terrible. I can confirm this because my brother uses an ipad (4g Verizon) on a separate account and he consistently maintains 4g even though I have seen it go as low as two bars. Yes, I understand the ipad is a different device and may have a different radio, but that is exactly how our phones used to work on gingerbread. I received a replacement device and I am still having the same issues. Also, the headset speaker, not the speaker on the back, or receiver is really tinny during phone calls even with the in call volume down half way. It is really annoying and the little tone that plays after hanging up makes the speaker sound like its about to blow out. I don't know what to do if the RAZR will keep having data issues because this is absolutely ridiculous. I know i'm not entitled to anything but for $310 a month I mean come on, I just want my phone to work properly. As I am typing this now, I have witnessed my phone switch between 4g, 3g, and no signal at least 5 times and of course my brother's iPad on Verizon has kept its 4g signal.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but they just don't work at all guys. I've even tried that restore connectivity app from Motorola, but of course it didn't work. I don't like that I keep having constant switches between 3g,4g, and no signal bars. It's awful thats just what it is. I feel like I got gipped with this update promising better user experience. If the darned thing can't connect to their network, then what is Verizon doing to address these issues? Every time I try to do something "data intensive" (i.e. youtube, facebook, twitter, etc) the data signal just drops and I'm either left with gray bars and no data or no signal bars whatsoever. Also one thing that annoys me to death with this phone is that I have it sitting in my pocket after I lock the screen and I go to pull it out of my otherwise empty pocket. The screen is turned on by itself (I have the clear silicon case on it so the power button shouldn't be pressed by itself and no I don't wear skinny jeans), its got 3g and no bars, and its piping hot.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PHONE VERIZON???!!!

Master data Issue --- materials have unassigned or # values ...!!

Hello Experts,
I am facing an issue that the Customer Data is missing in a BEx Report.
Data Flow is 2LIS_13_VDITM --> DSO1 --> Merging DSO --> Cube --> Multiprovider --> Bex Report.
Exact issue is Customers in the Bex Report has unassigned to Sales Office, Sales Group, Sales District.
The only reason a customer should show up under u201Cunassignedu201D or u201C#u201D is if itu2019s improperly set up in the system.
customers are assigned with two values. one which has data and the other which has unassigned value.
I wanted to know, how do i check if the matierials are valid to have unassigned Values ?
Checked the Merging DSO and saw that there are actually values assigned values for the affected matierials.
After that checked the Cube data values are displayed except the Master Data values.
I guess..its completely related to Master data. I would like to know how can i resolve this issue.
Please reply me if you face this kind of master data issue in your expeiriance.
Thanks,
SN.

Hi,
Are Sales Office, Sales Group, Sales District are attributes of Customer?
In case they are, then the customers will be unassigned to Sales Office, Sales Group, Sales District in case the data for these attributes is loaded to the customer attributes.
and also check if the customer characteristic is properly assigned in the multiprovider.
Check if it helps.
Regards,
Joe

Verizon mades changes in the coding and now Windows Phone 7 is having data issues!!!

Starting about 3 weeks ago, I stopped receiving text messages and even worse stopped receiving calls yet alone my voicemails. I have changed not one thing to my phone, everything is exactly the way it was before the issues arised. Now I have to trick my phone to receive my data by dialing into my voicemail... And then what do you know, 30 text mesages, 12 voicemails!!!
The voicemails wont even tell you the date or time stamp (the time the voicemail was received). After numerous *228 and talking with level 2 over the holidays, I see a huge article on multiple news sites stating Verizon is having data issues... Dropped calls, loss of data, no signal while all our phone keep showing full bars and 3g. Verizon stated its only happening on there 4gLTE system and not 3G but thats a load of crap.
All one has to do is a google search of loss of text messages or voicemails on Verizon and you will see 100's up to 1000's of users like you and me all experiencing the same issues. And not just with Windows Phone 7, but with there baby Driod and iPhone as well.
What really ****** me off is that Verizon loves to play the blame game or pass the buck game. Hard Reset your phone and that will solve the problem... Yeah Right. If this was our OS and we updated a driver that changed the OS in the background I can see that being the solution. But for the 100's or 1000's of users that go to work daily, check there emails and text daily, and haven't changed one thing on the phone... THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Now I read an articile for someone extermely close to Microsoft stating that Verizon turned down Nokia's new 4GLTE phone because they have no faith in the operating system and I have to think that maybe behind the scenes Verizon is trying to force us off Windows Phone 7 platform with data issue behind the scene and try to get us all into the Droid Platform which they make 50% of the cash off the phone just like the iPhone...
This is a joke, and I am really starting to think about going to ATT and getting the HTC Titan or the new Nokia 900. I have already research a 3 party app that will allow you to backup and restore your phone. And just read that Microsoft just put out an ad for backup, restore and cloud backup programmers for this latest feature.
Verizon the games need to stop, Verizon you need to stand behind this Platform, Verizon you need to provide better service for all us 3G users!!!

Date Issue

Hello,
I am a little stuck on a date issue. I need to calculate something like this for a selection criteria formula:
I need to return this:
Today is CurrentDate (11/8/2011) - therefore I want to return or calculate next Sunday 11/13/2011 then add 6 days to
11/13/2011 - 11/19/2011
So, in English I'd need
> 11/8/2011 (CurrentDate), find Next Sunday's date (11/13/2011) add 6 days to next Sunday's date (11/13/2011) to get 11/19/2011

dayofweek(currentdate)
will give the the day number of the date (1 is Sunday)
You can use this to generate the dates you need.
For instance,
if dayofweek(currentdate)=2 then currentdate + 6
will give you the next Sunday's date

Date issue in processing billing documents that shipped in a prior period

Date issue in processing billing documents that shipped in a prior period that is now closed:
SAP values those deliveries with the current document date in A/R when it should be the original delivery date. Baseline date needs to stay the delivery date, but is getting copied from the billing date in the new period. A user exit exists (& needs to be applied) to manipulate the baseline date when the accounting document is being created.
Any input is appreciated.
