Essbase Studio and Drill Through

I have created a ASO application in essbase studio through text data source and succesfuly deployed it to essbase server but in smartview and spreadsheet add in drill through reports are not reflecting.
Standard SQL is also not generating while creating drill through reports.
Error:
Error in the statement interpret. Line = 1657.
Error in the make select statement. Line = 1.
Unable to join filter to the rest of the query. Terminating operation...
This is EPM 11.1.2.0.00 on windows 2008 64 bit
Any help?

Hii
Philip thanks ..
you are right in saying that drill-through is not available for txt data at least in Studio and Integration ..
Essbase provides URL-based drill-through access from Essbase client reporting interfaces (such as Smart View or Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition) to information located on Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) applications.
In Integration Services and Essbase Studio documentation, drill-through refers to linking a multidimensional database cell to further data; for example, to transaction-level data that is stored in a relational source.

Essbase Studio - SmartView - Drill Through Error

Hello!
I'm creating a drill through report using Essbase Studio 11.1.1.2. Built the Context, the Report Content and Associations. Perform an ad-hoc analysis via SmartView. Perform a Hyperion | Drill Through Reports and the follow error occurs:
Unable to list Essbase Studio Drill Through Reports : Error in the statement interpret. Line = 1109
Anyone know what causes this and how to resolve it?
Thanks,
Bob

The issue was due to using transformations to prefix characters to ids. The drill through couldn't resolve the cube member name to the data in the tables.
For example, if your source data for your accounts table has an member id of 1, 2, 3 etc. But you use a prefix of A in transformation to build the member in Essbase (A1, A2, A3, etc.), drill through can't resolve it. Drill through is going back to the table and searching for A1, A2 or A3. The table has 1, 2, or 3. A string is not a number, that's the error that basically occurs.
Solution - I updated my tables to have the prefixes (and data types) and removed the transformations. That way when drilling, the Essbase member matches up with the table id.
Thanks,
Bob

Planning and Drill Through Reports

Hi all.
I have a planning application and want to build drill through reports (Planning v11.1.1.3)
I wanted to know is it possible to use an already existing cube in essbase to create drill through reports.
Please let me know in case you have any suggestions or best practice on this.
Thanks!

Would you believe John Goodwin has a blog post about this? :)

OLAP Universe and drill through with Essbase

Hi all
Has anyone created an OLAP universe on top of Essbase that allows the user to drill through back to an Oracle database?
If anyone has can you please let me know how you did this.
Thank you and kind regards,
Dean

Hi,
There is no way to activate drill-through from Essbase to any other database within OLAP universes.
If you are using Web Intelligence you have 2 alternatives:
<li> The first one is to create 2 data providers (1 on Essbase and 1 on Oracle) and synchronize them.
This is not really a drill thorugh operation but you have both data sources in sync in the same document.
<li> The second option is to create 2 Web Intelligence documents (1 on Essbase and 1 on Oracle) and then parameterize the Essbase document to use Opendoc capabilities (hyperlink) to dril-through on the Oracle document.

Enabling drill through from Essbase cube to drill through report

The requirement is that I keep summary level information in the Essbase cube and detailed granular information (order level) in a relational table.I would like to enable drill through between the cube and the report.
Please advise what would be the best approach considering the current system architecture that is outlined below.( Hyperion suite 11.1.2.1).
Would also like to know drill thru vs hybrid analysis options.
1) ASO/BSO cube is populated through Oracle Data Integrator
2) The relational transactional table is also poulated through ODI.
3) The cube would hold summary level info while thr drill through report should provide the order level details in the same context as chosen in the cube.
Would appreciate guidance on the best way forward.
Thanks & Regards,
Anirban

Incidentally we had been trying to use Essbase studio as an option.But there are 2 oints that we are trying to investigate.
1) Can we bypass deployment of data and metadata everytime through Essbase studio after the initial outline is delpoyed? In the system architecture the relational tables are populated using ODI. We would like to load the data and metadata through ODI into the cube. Eeven then can we implement drill thru bypassing deployment through Essbase Studio?
2) If Essbase studio is imperative for drill through then what are the batch automation options for deployment through Essbase studio? Ideally the option should be after the relational tables are populated through ODI then the Essbase deployment should be invoked and batch script should load the data and metadata through Essbase Studio.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Issue with Drill Through Reports in Essbase Studio.

Hi,
we are using essbase studio to drill through to the source table in Oracle.In drill through definition the query is like , select * from source where (Project IN ($$PROJECTS-VALUE$$)). Project column is located in source table and PROJECTS-VALUES are located in Essbase under project dimension and we will select the values in smart view. we are using smart view to check drill through reports.In smart view, If i select one member at gen-2 level which contains 1450 level-0 members,It is saying as error in executing the report in line 1972. Is there any limitation with IN condition , such that oracle takes only limited values like count of 999.we are facing issue only at gen-2 of project and it is working good from gen-3.
Please let me know is there any kind of certain limitation.

It is possible you are overloading the parser. If the projects table/view is a recursive join, when Studio creates the $$Project-value$$ is actaully returns all the level zero members under the member selected(at least in 11.1.2.X. If the list is huge, it might have problems. I would open an SR to see if there is a limit. It might be number of characters or values

Migraton from EIS to Essbase Studio

Hi All,
We try to migrate the existing EIS (32 bits setup) into Essbase Studio (64 bits) environment.
The old EIS and SQL2000 are both installed on separate servers.
In the new environment we have a seperate server for Studio and SQL2008.
How to use the migration function ?
I have create an ODBC on the Studio-server with a connection to the SQL2000 server.
When I start the EIS catalog Migration, fill in the EIS Catalog ODCC DSN with the just created ODBC-name.
Then press the Fetch Models button and the message: No models could be fetched for the catalog etc.
What's going wrong. Your reaction is much appriciated !!
Regards,
Ed

Thanks Glenn,
that gives me a better approach for my solution.
As metadata/data loading to the Planning application (workforce) will be part of an integration process we could then:
1. Load new Metadata to the Planning application
2. Refresh the planning databases
3. Run a MAXL Script to redeploy the Essbase-Studio cube (which is actually the Planning cube)
4. Load aggregated data to Essbase cube
5. Load detailed data to relational table in Essbase Studio.
now the cube is deployed with Essbase Studio so drill through should work as expected.
The integration process will be created in ODI so ODi will be responsible of loading metadata and data, and also executing the MAXL script for cube re-deployment
Do you think we are missing something in the macro steps above?

How to use Logical operators in Essbase Studio?

I want to add a new Dimension Element like
if ( connection : \'SH'::'SH.CUSTOMERS'.'CUST_GENDER' == "M" ) then "Male"
else "Female"
However, there isn't 'if ... then ...' expression in Essbase Studio. I'm puzzled to the usage of logical operators such as '==', '!=', and so on.

The == and !== are to set conditions for filtering. the ! meand not. In esscense these allow you to get a subset of rows that meet the conditions specified. In your case where Gender == "M" you will only get those rows where the value is "M". What you want to do is transform rows not filter them. I have not looked at studio enough yet to know how to do this, but a few things come to mind. First, you could use text to create the outline menbers instead of values from the tables, you could crete a reference table with the M = Male and F = Female and join to it to get the values or you could use a standard load rule and sql interface to load the data and just build the dimensions and drill through from Studio. I think I would opt for the second option

How to update all hierarchies in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
Currently I am building ASO cube using Essbase Studio.We are having 6[Stored]+1[Accounts] hierarchies in that 3 hiearchies contains 4 generations and remianing 3 hiearchies contains 3 generations with 20 attricbutes each.When I am trying to use "INCREMENTAL LOAD" with "Update all hierarchies" option records gets rejected.When I am using "Incremental Load" with "Rebuild hierarchies" it taking very long time.
Since our ware house is huge I cannot reset all and load from first.
Can someone assist me how to update the hierarchies on daily basis in less time
Note: In our cube we dont have any shared members
Thanks,
SatyaB

Hyperion Planning Drill through

Hello All,
Please suggest Essbase Studio if works for the below scenario of our environment.
We have a Planning cube and Drill through defined in planning cube using EIS in the planning cube. We want to use Essbase studio 11.2.1. instead of EIS and define drill through on the same planning cube.
I did some research on Essbase studio and did not find a way to just specify drill through on planning cube without building the outline from Studio. Can any one suggest if it is possible to define drill through on planning cube from studio or we have to stay with EIS with the current architecture.
Thanks and appreciate your response.

As far as I am aware there is no direct integration so the outline still needs to be built from studio.
Cheers

Drill Through reports takes too long

Hi all,
I need some suggestions/help with our drill through reports. We are using Hyperion 11.1.1.3 and the cube is ASO.
We have drill through reports set up in Essbase studio for drilling down from Essbase to Oracle database. It takes too long (like 30 mins for fetching 1000 records) and the query is simple.
What are the changes that we can do to bring down this time. Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Glenn,
We tried optimizing the drill through SQL query but actually when we run the directly in TOAD it takes *23 secs* but when we do drill through on the same intersection
it took more than 25 mins. Following is our query structure :
(SELECT *
FROM "Table A" cp_594
INNER JOIN "Table B" cp_595 ON (cp_594.key = cp_595.key)
WHERE (Upper(cp_595.*"Dim1"*) in (select Upper(CHILD) from (SELECT * FROM DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL') WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1 START WITH PARENT = $$Dim1$$ CONNECT BY PRIOR CHILD = PARENT UNION ALL select Upper(CHILD) from DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL' AND REPLACE('GL_'||CHILD, 'GL_IC_', 'IC_') = $$Dim1$$))
And ----same for 5 more dimensions
Can you suggest some improvement ? Please advice.
Thanks

Drill Through in Analyzer 5.0.3 Web Client

I have an EIS created Essbase cube with drill through reports. I can access the reports using the Excel add-in and via the Analyzer Windows client and they work as expected. In the Analyzer Web client, I see the LRO indicator, but when I click on the cell I get "Cell ___ cannot be drilled on". Does the Web client support drill through, and is there additional configuration necessary to make it work?Thanks,Jim Burnham

I didn't have the Essbase setting of "Use Grid API" turned on for the user I was testing with.Jim

Essbase Studio - Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server

Hi all,
I am new to Hyperion and am having trouble deploying what seems a simple cube in Essbase Studio.
My environment is Windows 2003, EPM 11.1.1.2, SQL Server 2000.
I have the following two issues which may be related.
1. The EPM System Diagnostic tool says that Hyperion Foundation cannot connect to the SQL database.
Error:
Failed: Connection to database
Error: java.net.UnknownHostException: <server name: <server name>
Recommended Action:
Every other EPM application is able to connect to the database. I have tried re-configuring Foundation Services and checking the config files and nothing looks wrong. I would appreciate advice on how to fix this.
2 In Essbase Studio, I was able to connect to the database where the source data is, build the minischema and create dimensions and measures. But when I run the cube deployment wizard I get the error:
Message: Failed to deploy Essbase cube
Caused By: Failed to build Essbase cube dimension: (Time)
Caused By: Cannot incremental build. Essbase Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
…ODBC Layer Error: [08001] ==> [[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.]
I have checked the DSN as well as the connections set up within Studio, and they are all able to connect to the database. I am using the admin user for the Essbase server and have created a different user for the databases where the data resides and the shared services database. I tried using the same user all the way through and this didn’t help.
Can you please advise what else I can check or change to resolve this issue.
Also, can you work in EAS with cubes that are created in Studio? I tried looking at it and I got an error that the rule file couldn’t be accessed because it was created in Studio.
After the above failures, I tried creating a cube in EIS, with mixed success. I have been able to load the members and data without errors. But when I try to view the data in the cube, I am seeing field names for the measures instead of the data itself.
...Definitely more questions than answers at this stage of my learning.
Regards
Michelle

Michelle,
I don't know if you found an answer to you question after so many months but I was hoping I could be helpful.
The issue you are experience happens often when the dimension that you are getting an error on, in this case TIME, is built from a snowflake lineage and there is a bad foreign key reference. This dimension is most like high-up in your outline build process for Essbase Studio and this prevents the build from happening usually early on.
Check your logs also. They are in Hyperion > Products > logs > essbase > essbasestudio.
You can also make your logs more verbose by setting a configuration variable in the essbase studio server.properties file but that should only be used for debugging as it really saps performance.
And, yes, you can of course edit an Essbase Studio deployed cube in EAS. However, any changes you make to the cube in EAS are subject to being wiped-out upon the next Essbase Studio deployment of that Applicaion/Database combo.
If you want to provide more detail, screenshots, etc. I would be glad to help where I can.
Cheers,
Christian

Drill-Through Report automation through VBA

Hi,
I've been making macros using standard VBA functions in Excel Essbase. For this, I've been using functions defined in essxlvba.txt.
My Essbase database has linked objects which gives the transaction level data for selected cells.
If I call EssMenuVLinkedObjects function, the control gets passed the linked object window and this needs to be controlled manually. Which defeats my purpose of automation of drill-through retrieval. I'm searching for functions using which I should be able to bypass the Linked-Object window and Drill-Through window and get the desired data. This is because I've to retrieve huge amount of data and I want to eliminate any manual steps.
I've been exploring Oracle website and found that there are Visual Basic Main API Functions and I tried to explore them also but I could not find various constants and structure declaration.
Please help.
Subhash.

The VB Main API declarations (including functions, constants and structures) are in a file named esb32.bas. This will be in a subdirectory on the client named \api\include - exact location depends on your version.
I've never tried automating the execution of drill-through reports, so I'm afraid I can't help on the specifics.
Just a thought though - if you need to pull a 'huge amount of data' and want to do this without manual intervention, Essbase drill-through might not be most suitable mechanism. It sounds more suited to a relational extract / query tool.
