  • Can we use SSIS to extract Essbase Outline

    Hi
    I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to raise this question.
    I am working with Essbase and SSIS. In SSIS there is no way where we can connect to Essbase as source or destination.
    Is there any way where we can connect Essbase as data source to extract data or matadata from Essbase using SSIS.
    If anyone has tried it out then please give some guidelines to implement the same

    Hi user,
    There is no way to conduct an Outline extraction using MS SSIS by itself. There was discussion a while back on using XMLA to do so but that is not possible either.
    Depending on what exactly you need from your Essbase outline, you can use MS Reporting Services to report on an Essbase Cube. This is very possible.
    So, if you are trying to get dimensionality, etc you could possible pull in this data into reporting services and then export to a CSV file, etc. However, you wouldn't be able to get all of the possbile metadata from the outline that you wish. I really depends on how complex the request/requirement of what you doing actual is.
    Your best best is really going to be to use one of the popular outline extractors like Razza or AppliedOLAPs.
    Don't forget to award points.

  • ODI Error: While running interface to perform Essbase ouline extraction

    Hi All,
    I have requiremnet to extract all dimensions from Essbase outline and put them into Flat Files.
    I created Essbase and Flatfile model and reversed successfully.
    I created interfaces for each dimension for extracting its metadata to flat file.
    All the interfaces ran successfully except for Entity dimension and Cube_Data.
    When i ran interface to extract Entity dimension i got the following error in "4 - Loading - SS_0 - Extract Metadata" step
    com.hyperion.odi.essbase.ODIEssbaseException: Extract operation failed : Cannot perform cube view operation. Essbase Error(1012703): Unknown calculation type [0] during the dynamic calculation. Only default agg/formula/time balance operations are handled.
    Please help me resolve this.

    Hi,
    This is a problem on the essbase side of things and not an ODI issue, it usually means you have a problem with a formula in the outline of your database.

  • Help With Essbase Outline Extractor Output

    Hello Gurus
    I am using Essbase Outline Extractor 9.3.1 to extract from Essbase 9.3.1 and I need a bit of a hand interpreting the results\Output. I'm after properties but Dynamic Calc, Shared Member, Never Share, & the Aggregation. Can anyone please help me with the definitions for the Property0 column.
    I also want to use the output to load via the Outline load utility, will this be able to read all the columns exported by the Outlinr extractor?
    Please help

  • How to propagate the changes made in Essbase outline to Planning

    Hi,
    I have created a userdefined dimension called 'Product' with one member 'SampleProduct' in planning. I logged into essbase and accessed the outline created for the plan type. In the outline, under product dimension, I have created one more member called 'ChanduProduct' and saved the outline. what should I do to see the new member created in essbase outline in Planning application?
    Similarly I changed the density of Product dimension from sparse to dense in essbase. How can I propagate this change to planning application? Please tell me whether we can do this operation or not. If yes, how to do?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chandu

    Hi Chandu,
    the outline of planning is stored in sql repository.
    when you refresh the planning application using manage database in administration; all changes from planning will propagate to essbase.
    you should not make changes in essbase outline.
    all changes in outline should go through planning web application (this is one of the best practices)
    hope this helps.

  • Time Balance is set to Last for EPMA Essbase application in Essbase Outline

    Hello Gurus,
    Following is my scenario -
    I have an EPMA Essbase applications that I have deployed from Workspace.
    I have observed that even though the Time Balance property for members for the accounts dimension are set to Balance (as seen in Dimension Library) in EPMA, after I deploy the application the dimensions are tagged as TB Last in Essbase outline (as seen in EAS).
    I am not aware of the functional part much, would really appreciate someone's help on this issue.
    Thanks.
    hyperionEPM

    Here is the doc that explains time balance settings in Essbase:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/dcatimse.html
    Here is the doc that explains time balance settings in Planning:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin_11122/ch12s04s08s01.html
    And here's a quick cross reference between Essbase and Planning:
    ESSBASE / PLANNING
    TB Last = Balance
    TB None = Flow
    TB First = First
    TB Avg = Average
    In general, Income Statement accounts are "Flow", and Balance Sheet accounts are "Balance" (unless you're storing activity, and not balances). Statistical accounts are a mixed bag.
    Hope this helps,

  • Add unidentified members to Essbase outline automatically on load

    We are using FDM to map and import data files to Essbase. Due to the number of members in each Essbase dimension, and since all of the source members are identical to the target members, most of the FDM mappings are taken care of by single "like" mapping for each dimension, in order to map the data file members straight to the Essbase members (map source member to target member):
    Rule Name: ALLACCOUNTS
    Rule Desc: All Accounts
    Rule Definition: *
    Target Accounts: #Script
    Script: Result=varValues(13)
    However, if the source system has had new members added but Essbase has not, the load will fail since Essbase cannot locate the new members.
    Is there a way to get Essbase to automatically create new members (under a designated parent in each dimension) if they are found to be present in the data file, but found missing in the Essbase outline? This may be a question specifically for the Essbase Forums, however since we are loading from FDM this must be a scenario experienced by others? If the above is not possible (I imagine this is quite likely) what would be the workaround?

    FDM is focussed on loading data not metadata. I wouldn't try to automate this, there should be a business process for this that uses a more appropriate toolset (EPMA, ODI etc) to do this i.e. have a seperate metadata update process based on the content of the source files that runs prior to any data load processes.

  • Hyperion Business Rules - Updating to use New Member in Essbase Outline

    We have a business rule that needs updated to include a new cost center.
    "Allocated Account" = ("Account 1"->CC1->Product->Project->"Channel 1" + "Account 1"->CC2->Product->Project->"Channel 1") / ("Account 5"->CC_3->Product->Project->"Channel 1" + "Account 5"->CC_4->Product->Project->"Channel 1");
    CC2 is a cost center that we just added to the Essbase outline and does not have data yet. When I try to validate the business rule, I get an error:
    Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200497): Error compiling formula for [Allocated Account] (line 33): unknown member name [CC2] in function ...
    I am new to business rules and have no clue why it doesn't like the new cost center.
    Thanks.
    Terri T.

    Yes, I can find the member name in the outline. I don't understand what you mean by "refreshing" the outline. I have saved the outline.

  • Essbase Outline Extractor

    Is Essbase Outline Extractor 3.3.2 is compatible with Hyperion Essbase 9.3.1 64X BIT which is installed on 64x bit. We have same version of client and even %ARBORPATH% is defined as below E:\Hyperion\analyticServicesClient64 and in PATH E:\Hyperion\analyticServicesClient64\bin E:\Hyperion\analyticServices\bin.
    We are getting "Run-time error '48': File not found: esbapin.DLL"
    I tried below suggestion, but it did'not work.
    Re: Essbase Outline Extractor
    Can any one help

    Are you trying to run it on a 32 bit Windows client or a 64 bit something-or-other (okay, it has to be Windows) client?
    As Tim Tow has written, Outline Extractor was developed in dearly-departed Visual Basic 6. Hence, it's going to require 32 bit Windows.
    I run it via a 32 bit VM client on my 64 bit laptop.

  • Refreshing the OBIEE layers to incorporate Essbase outline changes

    Hi,
    I am trying to establish a connectivity between Essbase(11.1.1.1.0.112) and OBIEE (10.1.3.3.2) to generate reports.
    The "Import from Multi-Dimensional" menu option in the Oracle BI Administration tool is used to
    create BI Server Physical layer. Once the physical cubes are imported, they are dragged and dropped into the Business Model and
    Mapping Layer then into presentation layer.
    The Essbase outline may change in the subsequent data loads because of addition of new dimension members.
    In a normal scenario, it is required to redo the whole process (Import the outline again to physical layer, then move to the next layers) to incorporate the subsequent changes in the Essbase outline. I would like to know whether there is a way to automate the whole process? i.e. using any scripts or OBIEE utilities?
    Thanks in advance,
    Devi

    In a normal scenario, it is required to redo the whole process (Import the outline again to physical layer, then move to the next layers) to incorporate the subsequent changes in the Essbase outline.It may be stated in the [OBIEE Essbase modelling guide|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/pdf/obiee-essbase-modeling-guide.pdf], but actually not necessary at all. First of all, dimension members don't require any rpd change at all since they will automatically flow in as members of their respective generation in the outline.
    As for outline changes like lengthened, shortened hierarchies, new dimensions etc...read the solution here. In fact you can manually write a whole cube outline without going through the "Import" process a single time.

  • Loading Dimension members from SQL Server 2005 to Essbase Outline.

    Hi Everybody,
    I need to load dimension members from SQL server 2005 to Essbase outline:
    Option 1:
    I can retrive members from SQL to text file and then using Rule files load dimension members into outline.
    option 2:
    Using SQL Interface in System 9.
    Option 3:
    I can use ETL tools (ODI, Informatica etc)
    I used Option 3 frequently and familier with, But i would like to use option 1 & option 2. If anybody has used option 1/2 kindly advice with correct steps
    I would be very greatful for any help.
    Version: 9.3.1
    Regards
    Kumar N

    Hi Kumar,
    For Option 2:
    You have to create one DSN for the particular database(SQL Server) from where you want to retrieve the data.
    Then Open Data Prep Editor and From File Menu Click on Open SQL and it will ask for the DSN connection details.
    Enter the DSN details and write the query....
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thanks for replying. I am importing the metadata from e-biz suite using ODI and have used Oracle Gl as the source and Essbase as the target.
    What we have done is :
    Create a blank planning application.
    Manage Database -- > Create database.
    Now once this db is visible in Essbase Admin Console.
    We have set this db as the target for importing the members of the Accounts and the Entity Dimension.
    Now after we are done importing the members to essbase outline, when we go back to the app we do not see the changes which have been made to the outline.
    Please suggest if our approach is correct.
    Regards.

  • QUESTION:  Essbase data extraction and Installing ODI Agent??

    For extracting data from Essbase cubes, ODI has "LKM Hyperion Essbase DATA to SQL".
    We can use (1). ReportScript, or (2). MDX-query, or (3). CalcScript
    For data-extraction using CalcScript, ODI Agent must be running on the same server as the Essbase server.
    Does anyone know if there is a need for ODI Agent on the Essbase machine if we use MDX-query method for data-extraction?
    We would like to avoid installing ODI Agent for Essbase data-extraction.
    .

    Thanks John.
    One related question. To move data from one Essbase cube to another Essbase cube using ODI Interface, Can we do it efficiently through MDX-query?
    We want to avoid Replicated-partitioning OR CalcScripts, if possible.
    BTW... Your ODI/Hyperion blog is a bible for us.

  • Essbase outline locked running Financial Report

    Ok, this is a wierd one. We have experienced the Essbase outline getting locked by the user running a Hyperion Financial Report using HFR 9.3.1.0 and Essbase 9.3.1.3.5. The user is an admin, however the outline should not get locked - should it?
    I searched for anything similar, but couldn't find anything and was wondering if anyone else has seen this?
    many thanks
    Rob Armstrong

    We walked through each step checking for a lock on the outline and was not able to reproduce at all. This is what I did and had the other user do again:
    1) make a new database connection - no lock
    2) made a copy and changed an existing report to use the new connection - no lock
    3) create a batch for the report - no lock
    4) schedule the batch, which the first time forces a login for workspace and essbase - no lock
    4) select a busrsting member list - no lock
    5) run the batch - no lock
    Also asked if anyone edited a report using the id and no one had. I also edited a report and tried several different modifications and could not force it to lock the outline.
    Still a mystery, this has happened before and we unlocked and moved on. Same today, the user was still in workspace (or might have been timed out) after submitting the reports earlier today and the outline was still locked after the reports completed.
    The only time the outline "should" be locked is when editing via EAS or dimension builds/restructures right? Things haven't changed much in the last 17 years of my using Essbase and this client does not do any fancy API or spreadsheet Add-in work.
