Essbase partition issue

Hi ,
I am trying to do replicated partition between databases(outlines are same), but for some reason I am getting the below warnings..can any one tell me why?
Partition [serverx balsh balsh] contains member mapping errors
[Target] - Partition definition is not valid: [Partition definition for slice [1] has [11] sparse virtual members]
Partition [serverx spend spend] contains member mapping errors
[Source] - Partition definition is not valid: [Partition definition for slice [1] has [11] sparse virtual members]
what exactly this error refers
Thank You for your help!

Hi,
I'm also getting same error, where i have mapped only one single dimension which has no dynamic calcs, no shared memebers, no attribute dimension its just member names with alias names, marked to same dimension in other cube still got same errors.
example
sales cube has dimension suppliers has members sup01, sup02 etc up to 20,000 members and other cube sales 2 cube has same dimension and i tried to create replicated partition got same error message.
I'm working on it to rectify will update once i have resolved it.
any help appreciated...............
Thanks

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 partition

hi all,
i have created two applications(BSO). These two applications are almost same. The only difference between the two is an addition of one dimension. Instead of creating two applications with the same data, they suggested to create a single application and partition it.
i have doubt regarding this. How to create application and partition.
the two applications having the dimensions

That's why be clear with your question , please go once through partition documentation.too
I'm not sure what exactly partition means from their view, If they are talking about essbase partitions you need to have two cubes.
Coming to the source and Target
Source is the cube where the orignal data sits.(original data means this is the data you are getting from outside of Hyperion like oracle ,flatfiles,db2 like that)
Target is the cube where the data was copied from source.
YOu need to give all the credentials of bothcubes in connection tab
In the areas tab you will give the dimension info, double click in the empty are , and select a dimension and right click and select idescendants(in your case both cubes hierarchy is same except one dimension)
you need to figure out which is source cube and Target cube
Thank You,

ORPHAN PARTITION ISSUE IN V11.1.2

Hi All,
we are moving from V9 to V11. Currently we have replicated partitions between databases (same app) and they obviously work fine in V9. However, when trying to create the same replicated partition in V11 (jusing V11 EAS etc) the partition validates and saves fine.. HOWEVER one half of the partition is immediately orphaned when saved, when looking at the Date source information, the "Current Host" looks weird, even though the information was initially correct when the partition was set up. It goes from "HYPESSBASE-DEV.***.***.co.uk:1423" to "[::1]:1423
If I then repair the partition, it appears to work. However, when you then right click to either edit, validate etc you are only presented with the "Repair" or "Delete" partition.
I would add that our environement is split, with the Essbase server being on one physical server, and all the central function (foundation, shared servcies, EAS) on another server. Not sure if even relevent but you never know.
Any ideas of this strange behyaviour?

Hi Paul,
Can you please explain the solution in detail. We are having the same issue but I couldn't repair the Partition successfully. I throws the below error,
Error: Name too long (vinhvd-hes04.visyap.pratt.com:1423) in ESSAPI function EssPartitionNewDefFile

Disk Utility Partition Issue- 1Tb Seagate External

Hi All-
I recently received a 1Tb Seagate external hard drive connecting via a Firewire 400 cable. Problem is, it won't let me reformat the thing as a single, continuous partition map. 2 is a problem as well: it only lets me format it if one side of the partition is MS-DOS and the other is OSX Journaled. if both as OSX, then Disk Utility once again fails to partition the drive. Is there some lurking cap on hard drive capacity that the MBP can understand?
Thanks.

I bought recently the Seagate FreeAgent Desk 500 Gb drive (the USB only Windows preformatted model since this one was 150$ cheaper than the made-for-Mac model with FW ports). I had the same problem as you ("one side of the partition is MS-DOS and the other is OSX Journaled"). My friend on an iBook G3 PPC running Panther bought the same model and didn't experience such problems (and was able to upgrade easily from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 after her initial system backup).
However, I was able to reformat my Seagate drive with Disk Utility and use Time Machine afterwards to backup my entire MacBook Pro but since Disk Utility was showing MS-DOS (FAT) as a volume format for the main external drive, I was worried about future backup problems.
Then I read this recent news on MacFixIt ( http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20090111225651243 ) about this particular issue since the 10.5.6 update and possibly 10.5.5. I followed the instructions (as explained originally in this thread ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8700407& ) and reformatted my USB external drive and everything went smoothly and as it should be. The GUID option did it for me.
Hope it does it for you.

Installing Windows 8.1 with bootcamp, partition issues.

So I am trying to install windows 8.1 onto my MBP running the latest 10.9.2 operating system. It took a while to get the HD to successfully partition, however when I finally got it working, upon booting from the USB drive I got this error message
windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an mbr partition table windows can only be installed to GPT disks
Is there any way to change the partition table or to fix this?
I just tried restoring the partition to one, verifiying and repairing the disk in recovery mode, then re-running boot camp, issue persists.
running late 2011 15" MBP

Well, when you start the computer you should press ALT to show the boot manager. With Windows 8 and 8.1 (for Windows 7 there's not this problem) there should be three different icons: the OS X one, and then two called Wininstall (or something like that) and the other is similar but there should be written something like "EFI Boot".
Well, don't choose the EFI Boot one and you should be fine.
If you choose the first one the Windows installer format the Bootcamp partition correctly, and then you can start the procedure.

Boot Camp Partition issue (still on OS X 10.4.8)

Hi all,
I'm trying to get Windows 7 up and running on my 2 year old MacBook Pro. Just bought the full version of Home Premium, as I've never installed any Windows on my mac before. Also, I haven't gotten Snow Leopard yet, so I'm still on OS X 10.5.8, which I think means a slightly older Boot Camp.
So I go in to Boot Camp Assistant and try to partition my 50 free gigs into about 20 for windows and 30 for mac. Trying several times, it always comes up with the error "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved" and says I should back up my disk, make sure it is formatted as OS Extended (Journaled), and restore the disk from the backup. This is the part I don't know how to do exactly. Is it saying I have to basically wipe my HD and restore it from my external HD? Under restore in the Disk Utility I can drag my external drive into the "source" box, but can't put my mac HD in the "destination" box.
So, anyone have any tips on how to move forward with the partitioning? Is it merely a space issue like I think, or is it a larger problem having to do with not being on Snow Leopard yet? I appreciate any advice or suggestions, I'm sick of spending so long trying to figure this out, haha.
Thanks!

I wish Apple would expand their own tutorial. The Boot Camp pdf; the FAQ; but it can be done with your OS X DVD and Apple Disk Utility's Restore; with other programs that are free, but require (essential to my thinking) that you have another drive or partition that you can boot from.
Windows and you have rescue CDs. With a Mac you can have and boot OS X from multiple hard drives.
Install OS X to drive #2 and use that to erase and restore.
TimeMachine is 'okay' but you can't boot from it. And I've got to say a bootable backup is more important tool.
The two most popular are Carbon Copy Cloner
http://www.bombich.com or from http://www.macupdate.com
SuperDuper from Shirt-Pocket Software, free for full copy, $29 for smart update of backup. Great PDF and of course no one looks to use the Help menu in programs (like Disk Utility even).
Those backups can be important and handy to have before installing any Mac OS update.
And there should be some 'Stickies' or "Most Popular Threads" or something because this question has been at some times a daily topic.

Disk partition issue.Cant allocate the free space for windows.ls help.

I have created a partition for OS X (200GB journaled, encrypted) and also left 51GB unallocated for Boot Camp later on.
After I successfully installed OS X 10.9, I wanted to install Windows 8.1 with Boot Camp. But Boot Camp only wants to shrink the Macintosh HD partition, and doesn't want to use the free space left on the drive. So I switched to Disk Utility, to try it that way. But in Disk Utility I wasn't able to create a new partition (if I press the 'partition' button it just doesn't do anything).
Next, I tried to switch of File Vault 2, let it decrypt itself, restart, and then try it again in internet recovery mode. But still, I cannot expand the Macintosh HD-partition or create a new partition.
Disk Utility log:
2014-09-04 00:42:31 +0200: Preparing partitioning: 'APPLE SSD SM256E Media'
Also, Disk Utility tells me there is 200.000.000.000 bytes of 200.000.000.000 bytes used, and 0 bytes of free space. Even though not even half of the drive is colored blue (which displays the amount of data on the drive). Finder tells me only 88GB is used.
I used the new installation for no longer than half a day, so there can't be issues that data is spread over the whole volume. Disk Utility can't find any problems, and tells me the disk and all of her volumes are okay (in green texts).
I also tried to start from a windows-install-usb, and tried to make a partition of the 'unallocated space', but then Windows tells me that it fails because the volume is part of the 'GPT partition style'.
What do I have to do to repartition my volumes!?
I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina 15" (MacBook Pro 10,1) with a 256GB SSD (251GB according to OS X).

As you're finding, a limitation of basic disk is that it only allows 4 primary partitions or 3 primary partitions and an extended partition.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163549.aspx
For information on converting basic to dynamic as well as considerations prior to doing so, consult this article. It should help you make a decision whether or not you want to convert the disk:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163552.aspx
If you decide to convert, get a backup so that no matter what you're covered. Not that it's risky, but better safe than sorry.

Hard disk partition issue and space issue

Hello i was trying to do a partition on my hard disk on my macbook pro retina. Wen i go to disk utility and try it says i need to repair the disk. I used command r in reboot and repaired but still having issues. When i look at space i get two different space available on macintosh HD. Here are the pictures you will see the space available is different depending what i choose. I am confused. Any help is appreciated. Here are the pics.

When you boot using Cmd-R, you're booting from a hidden Recovery Partition. That partition is using part of the space that is the size difference you're seeing between the Media line (upper picture) and the boot partition line. You can turn on the Debug Menu which shows the extra partitions using these directions.
I'm not sure but I suspect the issue may be that your boot partition is encrypted.

Essbase copy issue

Hi
We have an issue with Essbase cube copy in EAS (essbase and eas are in version11.1.2.2) . When we copy a cube we expect the access for the users and groups to be also available in the copied cube ie say groupA is assigned read access to cube1 but if we copy cube1 to cube2 we cannot see that groupA is also assigned read access to cube2 . This issue did not happpen in System 9 and this is major issue for us since we rely on the process of taking snapshot of the cube monthly basis and losing the secuirty of the cube when copying is not acceptable

Are you copying it within the server / across server?
I am not much familiar with LCM but if you are using it may be I guess you can do it from there.
If LCM cannot hep you, you can achieve it using Maxl as Sh!va said . Take an export of the security, parse it using BATCH (Windows) / SHELL SCRIPT (UNIX) and update the security again (Export will serve as security backup too ).
We had an application way back in v6.5.7 and we did the same way.

OMG Please help with Win XP partition issue FAT32 NTFS

I know that there are other posts about this, but I have not been able to find the answers to my problems
I had the issue that others had with not getting the option to format the bootcamp partition during my XP Pro install. I used the FreeDOS solution to format the drive, but I am now left with an 80gb FAT32 partition which is not really what I wanted.
Reading other posts, resizing the partition does not seem to be an option. I guess that I use Winclone to backup my XP partition, wipe out the partition using Bootcamp, but where do I go from here????
A couple of questions:
1) Can a backup of a FAT32 partition be restored to an NTFS partition?
2) How the bl**dy **** do I format the bootcamp partition as NTFS if I do not get the option of formatting during the XP install and FreeDOS wants to format as FAT32.
By the way if anyone has the answer that involves not having to wipe the FAT32 partition but shrink / reduce it to say 15gb and allow me to create a 65gb NTFS partition - there is a big sloppy kiss waiting!!!!
I was hoping that I could just use something like Partition Magic within my 80gb bootcamp partition to resize the FAT32 then create and format the NTFS partition?
Sorry for babbling and thanks for reading and hopfully ending my pain.
Ian.

I have found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307881 that allows the conversion of a FAT32 partition to NTFS. . . . looks like I will give this a go tonight.

Complex Essbase MDX Issue - Need Guidance

Hi,
I have a complex Essbase issue in ASO version 11.1.2.2. Currently I have a MDX formula with a Measure member named '10th Percentile'. It calculates the 10th Percentile perfectly. So new requirement is to create a new Measures member and instead of calculating the '10 Percentile' value, it needs to display the Customer Name of the value that is the 10th Percentile from the Customer dimension. So if I do a retrieval and the '10th Percentile' is 3.23, then it needs to display the Customer Name of the 3.23.
So I altered the formula to do what I think needs to be done and it verifies. However if I retrieve on that new measure in the Excel Add In, I get and error: An error [1200315] Occured in Spreadsheet Extractor. However if I navigate without data I don't get the error, but I also don't get any data, which I obviously need. So my question is, if MDX support reporting on Metadata not just Data, what/how can one report on it? Ideally I need to have this work in the Excel Add In as the client is using a custom vba modified template for their end users.
Any ideas and help?

Here's the formula. I bolded the part that is new.....
IIF ( [Lbs Per Yard].CurrentMember IS [Lbs Per Yard].[No_Lbs/Yd] ,
IIF( [Count_Price] = Missing, Missing, IIF( [Count_Price] < 2 , Missing,

, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Segment].CurrentMember)
, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Customer Type].CurrentMember)
, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Zip Code].CurrentMember)

, [$/Yd] <> Missing ))
, [$/Yd] <> Missing )
, [$/Yd] /*this is the measure we're using for sort */

10 / 100 /*where we specify which percentile is being calculated */

Which version of EPM you are using?
If it is V11.1.1.3, I had similar kind of issue with FDM module. I was getting Server 500 error while trying to access FDM application URL and got it resolved with following steps. You can try same solution with Essbase.
The issue was - EPM System Configurator copied the wrong WebLogic IIS plugin on the Windows 64-bit operating system.
To work around this issue:
1 Stop IIS from the following place:
l IIS Admin Service*
2 Copy iisforward.dll from: EPM_ORACLE_HOME/…/wlserver_10.3/server/plugin/ win/x64/iisforward.dll*
to: EPM_ORACLE_HOME/DOMAIN_NAME/VirtualHosts/iisforward.dll*
3 Copy iisproxy.dll from: EPM_ORACLE_HOME/…/wlserver_10.3/server/plugin/ win/x64/iisproxy.dll*
to all folders under: EPM_ORACLE_HOME/DOMAIN_NAME/VirtualHosts*
Hope it helps :-)

Essbase - eis issue

Hi,
I have been facing an drillthrough issue started since couple of weeks...
The users are not able to drillthrough the data (data is in sybase) from excel. They are getting the ESSDTU error message...
I have re-run the "ais_start" and then its started working... why i have to do this very often... i have not had this issue before...
PS: Some of our servers went down recently... from that day itself i am facing this issue...
Please help/assist to resolve this issue.

Since I made the post I have explored some more. The SQL statements for the drill-though report definitions work with all cost centres, when I run them in a SQL console (SqlServer management console). But even when I create a new drill though report, it still only works only for the cost centres that previously worked successfully with the existing drill through reports. There is no signifigant difference in Essbase between the cost centres that work and the ones that dont , so I am completely stumped

ESSBASE Aggregation Issue.

Hi,
I am facing a serious problem with Essbase. Iam implementing Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2 for one of our client and first time I am implementing this version.
The aggregation is not working in my setup. I have written a rule to aggregate the hierarchy. I have tried with AGG, CALC DIM, etc. But still the same issue.
I have also tried running the Calculate web form rule file, but still aggregation is not happening.
I have also noticed that in Planning Dimension maintenance, even the level 0 members showing the consolidation operation.
Any body has clue?
Please help me as I am unable to proceed further.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sunil.

It is probably worth testing your script as a calc script and then run it directly against the essbase database using EAS, then check the data with Smart View, this process should eliminate any issues in planning or calc manager.
If you are still having problems then post your script and I am sure somebody will give you some further advice.
Cheers
