Essbase Report question...

Ok, I have something that I think should be simple to do, but am driving myself nuts not being able to figure it out. How do you write a report script so that the first line in your output file has the dimension names as the column headers? I can get the report to dump the data in the format that I want, but I can't get it to label the dimensions defined in my <ROW, it only labels those defined in the <COL. If I could get it to label all columns, then I could use the "Record containing data load field names" option in the load rule to load the exported data back, but since it only labels some columns, I can not. Basically, I'm getting... WK1 WK2 WK3 ...ABC 2002 XYZ "Inv Qty" 10 20 30 ...I want...Product Year Customer Measure WK1 WK2 WK3... ABC 2002 XYZ "Inv Qty" 10 20 30 ...What is the syntax to get it to label the dimensions that make up my row? Thanks in advance for the help!

What is the syntax of your report script?

Strange Character in Essbase Report

I generated an Essbase report using report script. I have suppressed colum heading, page heading, zero rows and missing rows. In the generated report there is a strange character at the beginning of every 65th row (). When opened in notepad it looks like the biology female symbol. I am guessing this is some kind of a page break character. It shows up in any application I use to open the .rpt file.Is there any way to supress this character?
I will be sending the resulting report to SAP. Will this character effect the way SAP will read member names in that row?

Never mind. Foud out that SUPFEED works fine. The question about page break character affecting SAP is still open though.

Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g

Hi Experts,
The Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g is displaying the member names instead of the Alias names. However in OBIEE 10g the Alias names are rightly displayed.
Can anyone please suggest on how it is possible to display the alias names in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
thanks for ur reply. I checked the above workaround but found that the option Display Column -> Alias is not enabled. So am not able to select it. Hence now Member names is selected.
Please let me know if i am missing something else.

5200: FR Essbase Report - POV Error

Hi All,
One of our user (non-admin) is getting the below POV error when he tried to run a FR Essbase report,
"5200:Error executing query :;has Pov Dims=0;pov XML=<?xml version ="1.0"?><datasources></datasources>"
we tried the following actions as a part of trouble shooting, but nothing worked so far,
- Verified the File --> Preferences in workspace and the POV settings is ON
- Reset the user POV using ManageUserPOV.cmd
- Deprovisioned & reprovisioned the user
- Verified the user security access
- we are able to run the report with other admin & non-admin logins
Kindly suggest us with a solution, if you have faced this error in your past.
Thanks,
Siva

Try to reset his POV using the HYPERION_HOME\BIPlus\bin\ManageUserPOV.cmd utility.
You need to alter the ManageUserPOV.properties file to indicate his/her user ID

Error executing essbase report script using maxl

Hi,
V 11.1.2.1 (64 bit) on windows
An essbase report script errors when it is run from maxl. When I run it directly in maxl the error is
Error - 1030205 - Client directory does not exisit: ...EssbaserServer\<instance>\client
When I run it within EAS the error is
Client directory does not exisit: EPMSystem11R1/common/EssbaseRTC-64/11.1.2.0client
Unexpected essbase error 1030205
The client is installed but the folder locations do not exist. There is a calc script which does a data export which works fine. The essbase report can be manually executed without a problem. This worked fine in 9.3.1.
Here is the script (without actual names)
export database 'app'.'database' using report_file 'AReport' to data_file 'c:\\Output.txt';
I would appreciate any help. I have looked at the knowledge base and can't find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
I would appreciate

Hi,
The issue is now resolved.
The client folder must be created where the EAS service is, not Essbase. Once this was done the report script could not be found. In discussion over the phone with Oracle we did some testing, as they use a non distributed environment. If you use 'using report file' you need to specify the path to the report file i.e.
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem\EssbaseServer\<instance>\app\<app name>\<database>\report.rep'
The .rep must also be included.
If you use 'using server report file' you only need to specify the report name, without the extension, and the data file path. You specify the path as normal i.e. D:\nathan.txt but you can get away with simply a file name such as 'nathan.txt'. In a distributed environment this exports to the server where the EAS service is to
<drive>:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem
When Oracle support did this it went to the Essbase bin folder as it was a non distributable environment.
The subtle differences between 9.3.1 and 11.1.2.1......
Thanks to all those who contributed.

Financial Reporting Question - Formula row Issue

Hello,
I have a financial reporting question and would like to have your inputs in order to achieve what I am trying to do.
I have a report with two grids – grid 1 & grid 2. And there is a formula row in grid 2 that is “change between the two years” worth of data. The year and period combination is in the page of the grids.
Formula row (in grid 2) = ((Grid1.[b,6]) - [b,6]) / [b,6]
The issue is when I change the Page selection in Grid 1 the formula in grid 2 doesn’t get updated values unless and until I make a change in the grid 2 Page selection too. If I don’t make any changes in the page selection in grid 2 it keeps the data (looks like it is still considering the previously retrieved/calculated values) as it is without any update.
How can I make the formula row in grid 2 dynamic so that it gets updated no matter what combination of page selection I make in either grid 1 or grid 2 or even if I just change something in grid 1 and nothing in grid 2?
Please let me know your inputs. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krrish

Page POV will be specific to the grid.Why can't you try to have the POV at the report level.In the HTML view of the report,the report will give you a Drop Down to select POV for all Grids.Select All Grids option and then set the POV which will be same for both the grids (which you want) and all your formulas will work.

Updateable Report Question.

Updateable Report Question.
Currently I am developing an XE application, so I think that is apex 2.0.
Here is an example of what I wish to achieve.
Suppose I have an emp table with columns
dept, id, name and comment.
I create an SQL report as
SELECT * from emp;
I only wish to see the name and comment columns, so in the report attributes I un-tick show the columns dept and id.
I want the user to be able to update the comment column, So I edit the comment column and in “Tabular Form Element” I change the “Display As” from “Standard Report Column” to “Text Field”
This now lets me edit the data in the column in the report.
Now want to add in an on change event to call a javascript routine that will use ajax to do the actual update.
My problem is that I need to pass in the “hidden” dept and id column values as well as the modified text, thus
In “Tabular Form Element” – “Element Attributes” add in
onchange="updateRemarks(#DEPT#, #ID#, this.value)"
Unfortunately this does not work, apex does not expand the #DEPT# & #ID#, and just passes in the literal text.
So how can I achieve this?
Thanks,
GP>

The columns and rows have a set format for the Id, so if you know one Id you know the row and the ids of all the other columns.
As an example, this will show the value of column 6 when you click on any column with the function call in the Element Attributes:
Script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showCol6(col){
var col6 = document.getElementById("f06_" + col.id.substr(4,4));
alert(col6.value);
</script>Element Attributes:
onclick=showCol6(this);You could also use a Named Column template, specific to this region, to include the column values directly in the function call, but I think it's best to stick with the ApEx defaults if possible.

Business Rule variable in Essbase report

Hi,
I need to create a report where I will use the variable (created as Business Rules variable e.g.- [BudYear],[CurrVersion] etc) but it is not working. If I use [BudYear] it is just showing the dimension name in report as 'Year'. But when I use any exxbase substitution variable (e.g.- &CurYear etc) it is working fine. So, can it be possible to use business rules variable in essbase reports?
Can it be possible to save the essbase report in comma delimited format (I am only getting tab delimited option). Please revert back.
Thanks & Regards.

As John rightly said, HBR rules are only applicable within HBR. What you want is an Essbase Substitution Variable. So long as the value does not get selected interactively in the HBR, you can use a Substitution Variable instead. An example would be something like current year -- this isn't going to get changed by the users via a Planning form or a prompt.
HBRs, Calc Scripts, member formulas, load rules, and of course Essbase report scripts can all read substitution variables. See the DBAG for more information. Personally, I only use HBR variables, local or global, for items off the POV or driven by a run-time prompt.
Unfortunately, a comma delimted file is a pain in a report script -- you have to make your columns fixed length and then use the MASK command to put the commas in -- ugh. However tab delimited files are an option. I've never found an IT group that couldn't handle the latter format.
You may also go with the the DATAEXPORT calc script command -- a comma delmited output is possible with that command and of course it supports Essbase substitution variables.

BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

Hi Gurus,
Here is my issue.
I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
Two Columns
One Key Figure: Subtotal1
One Restricted Key Figure: Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
Two Rows Plant, Sales Organization
One Variable with Sales Organization.
When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
Thanks

Essbase report script match pattern on alias

report scriptHi,
I need some help on essbase report script. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to use the essbase report script command "<MATCH" so that I can match for a pattern on the alias name as opposed to the member name. I have searched the Internet with no luck. Maybe someone in this community knows how to do this. If you can reply with a specific example that would help me out as I am very visual.
Thanks in advance.

You can use <REPALIAS, e.g., for Sample.Basic:
<REPALIAS "Product"
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
Diet Cola
(24,761)
Diet Root Beer 25,185,158,741
Diet Cream
23,703,677,612
Diet Cola
(24,761)
Diet Root Beer 25,185,158,741
Diet Cream
23,703,677,612
Diet Drinks
48,888,811,592
Using <OUTALT on its own (confusingly, at least as I read the documentation) continues selecting by alias, but displays member name:
<OUTALT
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
100-20
(24,761)
200-20
25,185,158,741
300-30
23,703,677,612
100-20
(24,761)
200-20
25,185,158,741
300-30
23,703,677,612
Diet
48,888,811,592
Without either, the MATCH only looks at member names:
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
Diet
48,888,811,592

Essbase Reports - MAXL Scripts

I can not find the MAXL script command to execute an EssbaseReport. In Esscmd, it is RunRept. Any help would be appreciated. Jamie

Just an example based on the Sample:Basic DB .... (this is for Windows, I guess the syntax for UNIX is slightly different, refer DBAG for exact details). export database sample.basic using report_file 'Essbase\\App\\Sample\\Basic\\Bottom.rep' to data_file 'D:\\Essbase\\Reports\TestReport.rpt';

Supply Shortage Report question

Hi
Supply Shortage Report question:
In my cube I have material, 0calday, receipts and demand key figures.
Formula for Supply Shortage = Receipts u2013 Demand.
Users want to see number of consecutive days a particular productu2019s Supply shortage value is below zero.
Input criteria:
Date range:
Consecutive days:
For e.g. If user enters date range as u201C06/01/2010 u2013 07/31/2010u201D and Consecutive days as u201C4u201D they want to see all the products which have u2013ve Supply shortage values consecutively for 4days or more.
Can anyone tell me how we can accomplish this in Bex? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please check the follwoing option.
Load the msae data in one more DSO which will be a lookup DSO. In that DSO theer will be a daily load with the date as "Historization Date" which will keep the Current date with every load. In that DSO calculate Shortage Indiactor
Shortage Indicator 1 if Receipts < requirement.
By doing this you will be having Data with Historization date (Daily) with an Indicator for Shortage.
Now while loading this cube populate one Chracteritics a Shortage Counter by doing look up theis DSO.
You need to Indicator in the DSO with today's date and historization date and you need to add the counter on the basis of avilable consecutive entries by putting a loop for the same.
By this approach you may achieve your need.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

Essbase Report Writer IPARENT

I have a report that displays level 0. I want to also show the immediate parent of the level 0 member. I have been playing with the "IParent" command, but can't get it to work. It looks like it may work on a single member. This is what I have at the moment.
<Link (((<LEV("Entities", "Lev0,Entities")) AND ( <IDESC("Total Center")))
Any ideas how to get the level 0 entities along with the immediate parent?
Thanks

Thanks Tim for the response. The code works except that it puts the parent information on a separate line, however I would like to have both the parent and child on a the same line in different columns.You won't be able to do that in an Essbase report script as the Essbase engine will not understand with member you want for the row dimension when it does the retrieve.. You could do this in Excel if you limit the number of range that is retrieved to only include the 'child' column in the row header section of the retrieve.
Within the same project, I was trying to incorporate "REPMBRALIAS". It works, but I cannot seem to get the member name and alias in two separate columns. Report writer dumps both in the same column, which makes it hard to parse.My guess is that it would be impossible to parse if you have spaces in any member names. Again, if you use Excel to do this functionality, you can turn off 'use both members and aliases' and they will be returned in separate columns.
