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,

  • Essbase partition - no matching region

    I am using essbase 6.5, and trying to set up a partition on dense time dimention.
    cells count matches, and two cubes are indentical but the target has more years(and months in mm.yy format)
    Keep receiving 'No matching region .. ' message when validating it
    Any sugestion?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Glenn!
    I can't avoid dense dimension - Time is dense and has month.year - because PTD functions are on Time and they swap two years.
    I tred to do just one cell area in both source and target and mapped it but anyway got this message.
    Is it possible to use partition in my situation or i should look for another solution?

  • 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?

    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.

  • Replication partitioning corrupting target database

    Hi,
    Essbase v 11.1.3, solaris 10
    My colleagues are having a serious problem with replicated partitions. The behaviour is as follows
    "We are creating an Essbase partition by means of a MAXL script the creation of which is causing corruption in the Target database. From the point of running the script to generate the partition (not to replicate it), the partition is created successfully but the area of data targeted by the partition appears to be locked and no data can be submitted to the area via smartview. The first time the partition is replicated the data successfully replicates but any subsequent replication does not copy the data across and data in the affected area cannot be edited except by calculation scripts."
    The following action has been done to work around the problem
    •     Replicated the issue in development environment
    •     Cleared Target database prior to creation of partition
    •     Used different user account to run the partition
    •     Used MAXL to drop all locks on the Target application – no locks exist to drop.
    The essbase log had this entry 'Dangling Partition found' and a afew 'Client Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted'.
    The members exist in both databases. The error is effecting more than one db.
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    I'm sorry, I was being a little glib in my answer and it didn't really work. The real answer is in 9.3.1 ASO cubes can only be the source for a transparent partition. you have to wait until 11.1.1 for it to be used either way. For what you need you can have your historical data in ASO (or more than one ASO cube) and partition it to BSO for current data. Be careful if you have formulas in the BSO cube that reference ASO cube members. IT can really sow down retieivals. Try to have equivelent formulas in the ASO cube for the history

  • Cannot create partition

    Hi,
    I am using Essbase 11.1.1.3
    I tried to create transparent partitions on various applications, but it seems that's not working.
    At first, I though that I made a mistake when I created it.
    My last try was to create a partition between the application Demo and DMDemo. On a VM it works find, but on the Essbase server it doesn't work.
    The MaxL is :
    create transparent partition 'Demo'.'Basic'
    area '"Actual"' sourcearea1
    to 'DMDemo'.'Basic' at 'server' as 'admin' identified by '******'
    area '"Actual"' targetarea1;
    The error is : Cannot open object file: Basic
    I checked that I was able to open the outline, etc.
    Has ever one of you encountered this error?
    Thanks for your help!

    I have found the solution.
    There was some dbb file which were created previously (but I don't know why..)
    I deleted them, and it worked!

  • Planning_Partitions

    Hi ALl,
    We have 2 EPMA deployed Planning Apps. Budget1 & Plan1.......We need to create an EPMA Planning APP REPORT(Dummy Appjust for partition/Reports) & create transparent partition to both Budget1 & Plan1.
    The FR willpoint to REPORT App
    With this approach is it possible to pull Annotations stored in RDBMS show in the reports?

    This is not possible. Partitions are an Essbase construct . . . they are completely unaware of the relational repositories.
    In addition, adding an Essbase partition to a Hyperion Planning app can be troublesome. The last time I tried this, I had to drop and re-add partitions when we refreshed the cubes. Otherwise the Planning refreshes would fail. This may have been addressed in later versions of Hyperion Planning - I haven't tried it in a long time.

  • Essbase 11.1.2.3 Replicated Partition - No data replicated to target

    Hi
    I just created replicated partition in Essbase 11.1.2.3. Validation of partition was successful and I have made sure all mapping are identical between Source & Target database.
    There is no data replicated to target.
    Can anyone tell me what's the problem here?
    Thanks

    I would recommend to start with a single cell and then see if that works. If it does then expand to full. Also explaining the structure of source and target and mapping will also help us identify the issue.

  • Essbase 11.1.2.3   BSO to ASO Partitions with extra dims

    Hello Essbase brain trust.
    I have a situation where my BSO/planning cube has less dimensions than my ASO reporting cube. I have tried all of the ways mentioned in the documentation to map the extra dimension to no avail. Seems like the documentation is lacking.
    Does anyone have a working situation where they could share the exported partition? Or enlightened me.
    I did this using the planning mapping tool but it's very slow to refresh although it works. Even the xml from this works not helpful.
    Thanks

    Hi-
    It wouldn't be matter if members in current BSO cube partitioned to members existing in historical ASO cube. But if you want to retrieve new members that exist in BSO cube and don't exist in ASO historical cube, it won't show any value since it doesn't exist in the historical cube and of course the partition area from BSO to ASO can't be updated except when you want to map it to another member.

  • Partitioning Between Essbase and Planning cube

    Hi Experts,
    Can any one please help me on the following issue.
    I got the requirement where I need to load the data from Planning cube into Essbase cube.
    I have One dimension less Essbase cube.
    Can we able to copy the data using partitioning?
    Thanks in advance,
    Reddy

    Indeed that is a very good post on this topic.
    Ultimately you want to leverage the native Reporting Application functionality within Planning versus the traditional partitioning native to Essbase (Replicated, Transparent, Linked).

  • Re: ASO & BASO Partitions in Essbase 7.1

    Hi,
    The scenario is as under:
    essbase being used is 7.1
    I have a BSO cube that is the target cube where the ASO cubes are the source cubes. I require monthly data and so each month is a separate cube/database alongwith the quarter being a separate cube by itself. Data is loaded using an automatic scheduler in the ASO cubes.Also, a transparent partition has been created to enable writeback.So when a user hits the BSO cube , he gets the data from Jan to Dec , because of the transparent partition between.
    E.g. Qtr 1 - Apr - June., when this quarter is over then the databse of Apri is deleted and a new databse is built for July and so on.
    Request you to please let me know whether instead of buliding different cubes/databases for each month whether the same can be done in one outline itself.
    Also, what are the possible problems which would be faced and how can performance tuning be done.
    Reply will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Manuka

    Well, the database size is driven by the amount of data you have (generally number of scenarios). I am sure keeping an years worth of data in the same cube will make such a great difference. But again, the whole outline is to be consider as a whole to make a correct judgment.
    You can set up your Time/Period dimension as:
    Qtr1
    --Jan
    --Feb
    --Mar
    Qtr2
    --Apr
    .............and so on.
    Give it a shot. If the database size is still manageable, I would recommend to add and Year dimension in which you can list years to incorporate multiple years data.
    It would be interesting to know, what actually is the purpose/reasoning of using individual cubes for months?

  • ESSBASE VERSION 11 PARTITIONING

  • Problem with BSO - ASO partitions (Essbase 9.3.1)

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to create a BSO partition on top of four ASO cubes when using member set functions in the partition definition (e.g. @GENMBRS or @LEVMBRS)?
    I have tried that but always get an “overlapping partitions” error, although the partition members are not defined overlapped. The cellcount does match.
    Appreciate any hints.
    Thanks in advance.

    Obviously this won't resolve your entire problem, but just to answer the first question you can definitely use e.g. @GENMBRS successfully in the partition definitions for a single BSO cube over multiple ASO cubes in 9.3.1.

  • Partition in Essbase ASO

    Hi Experts,
    We have ASO cube with 10 years of data.
    The requirement is have two ASO cube with 5 years each and all the 10 years of data should be accessed at the target cube.
    Can you please advice how we can do this.
    If I select the transparent partition at the target cube it shows only the source data, target cube data is overwriiten by the source cube data.
    Thanks in advance for your help guys.
    Raja Mohamed

    Hello,
    You can create 2 news ASO cubes ( don't destroy your ASO cube with all 10 years data). On each new cube you can create a "replicated" partition (target = new cube with only 5 years, source = historical cube) When you execute the replication, the data are loaded from the source to the target. Execute a replication on the two new cubes (delete the replicated partitions when the 2 aso cubes are loaded)
    And create a third empty cube (a proxy cube) with the same structure as the two news cubes but with all years and create 2 transparent partitions which source are the new ASO cubes. The end users will only know the third empty cube.
    By this way, you can create another ASO cube with n years and your have juste to registrer a new transparent partition in the proxy cube.
    I developped this with 9.3.5 version and with this version, the proxy cube must be BSO not ASO (I don't know in newer version)
    Good luck
