Essbase Studio - Create Cube Schema without a Measure or Measures Hierarchy

Using Essbase Studio V 11.1.2.1 I'm trying to create a cube schema. The wizard needs a measures or measures hierarchy in order to proceed. My cube doesn't have a dimension that falls under this category. All dimensions are under the Hierarchies. Is there a way to skip adding anything in the Measures/Measures Hierarchies in order to continue building the cube schema/Model? Any work around?

Hi GlennS, I that I need atleast one measure and thats the dollar amount field from the fact table. So I have done that now...
I'm trying to recreate a cube using Essbase Studio. I'm using EIS from an older essbase version as a template.
While doing a member load In EIS, in the olapisvr.log file, I could see the individual select statements for every dimension/member load. Something like "Member load SQL statement (for dimension CURRENCY_CD) has been generated, start adding member to outline". I cannot locate where I specified this sql or how EIS generates this. The sql is very specific so looks like the EIS generated sql for Member load is being overridden.
Once I figure that out, I need to replicate that in Essbase Studio. Any ideas?

Essbase studio deploy cube failed

Hi,
I'm try to deploy my first cube in essbase studio
once I deploy the cube, I get the follwing error:

Are you trying to join to two text file data sources, if so I thought only self-joins were supported. Glenn will probably be able to confirm.

Need Help with Essbase Studio TBC cube deployment errors

Hello Everyone,
I am trying my hands on Essbase studio. I am using TBC example which comes with Essbase Studio installation. I am getting the following errors.
How can I troubleshoot these errors. Since it comes with Essbase studio I supposed the data to be clean.
In the essbase studio i defined the TIME dimension, but it stills give me that error.
Please click the Details button for more information
The error file is located on the server at: C:\temp\TBC.TBC_08-04-10_15-54-09.err

Beginners tip: create new schema without SQL command

Hey, i know this sounds so beginner's, but can i create a new Schema in which I can create tabels and tables.. without using SQL commands, I mean from the GUI of Oracle 9i?

When I try to create any table under the new Schema (User) i keep on getting the
message: No Privellage on USERS namespace...this is why us old lags on so down on GUIs. Because they generate the SQL for you you will acquire no understanding of how the database really works. Honestly you would be better off reading the concepts guide and writing some raw SQL for yourself.

Can we create RCU schemas without the SYSDBA role?

hi,
I am trying to create the specific schemas for SOA suite on a remote database,
However, I cannot use the SYSDBA role because i don't have acces to sys user!
Can I use a normal user (without SYSDBA previliges) such as system to acheave the installation?( it gave me some warning during the creation but i can ignore them )
if not,do you know an other user with SYSDBA role other than sys?
regards,,
Driss
Edited by: 867232 on 5 juil. 2011 04:32

No. It is not mandatory to use sys user account. You may have any other user with sysdba privilege to create schema's using RCU. If you using a user other than SYS with SYSDBA privileges, you must grant the user permissions as follows:
GRANT execute on sys.dbms_lock to user_name with grant option
For example, if you have created and are using the user named system, you would use the following command to grant the necessary privileges to system:
GRANT execute on sys.dbms_lock to system with grant option
Refer to your Oracle database documentation for more information about database users and roles.

Essbase Studio: Failed to deploy Essbase cube

Hi
I have started working with Essbase studio sometime back and I am able to deploy BSO cube with success using the TBCSample Database which comes along with Essbase. Now I wanted to deploy ASO cube, as no sample database is available I thought to create one, I extracted ASOSamp using ODI to CSV files. Then I bulk inserted the csv extracts into MSSQL 2003 server which created 11 tables (Age, Geography, IncomeLevel, Measures, PaymentType, Product, Stores, Time TransactionType, Year). The above mentioned table does not have any keys(Primary, Foreign) as it is an Essbase export.
I then successful created ASO Cube Schema using the newly created sample database in MSSQL, validated cube schema without any errors.
Essbase Property Setting:
Measures Hierarchy is tagged as Dynamic Compression at dimension level
Time, Product and Year Hierarchy is tagged as Multiple Hierarchies Enabled, Year does not have multiple hierarchies but it has formulas for Variance and Variance % member. Is there a way to tag Year as Dynamic hierarchy?
But when I try to deploy the cube to Essbase I receive following errors:
Failed to deploy Essbase cube

Are these errors due to data source, if yes what could be possible work around?
Is there any problem with Essbase properties which I have set if so then when I validate cube schema why I dn't get any errors?
Please help me, I am stuck here not able to deploy ASO Cube.
Thanks in advance

Hii
I have the same problem , you have.
did you manage to solve it ??
Thanks in advance

Essbase Studio :: Measure Hierarchy :: "accounts not from fact"

Hello,
I am trying to build a Measure dimension in Essbase Studio not from fact table, but from parent-child metamodel table.
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_user/frameset.htm?ch10s03s02s05.html]
Here I've read that I should add loose measure creating cube schema to Measures/Measure Hierarchy field.
What loose measure? I added column from fact table. In Essbase metamodel it created Measure dimension with that one member.
Is it even possible to create measure dimension not from fact table?
Thanx in advance,
L00ka
Edited by: 990463 on Feb 26, 2013 7:40 AM

The approach to take is to create a hierarchy from your measures table, then use the data column from your fact table to populate the measures box in the schema. When building the Essbase model, select the accounts dimension manually.
Oracle recommend that you build the measures dimension directly from your fact table, the above approach deems it a loose measure, that is it isn't based off the fact table.

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

Essbase studio export

I want to deploy a cube design from development to production and I am using the file -> export feature of studio.
when I export a cube, i just have the cube selected with "include associated essbase models with cube schemas" ticked.
when i import the file into our production instance it fails.
i looked at the export file and it seems to contain the deployment history from development, plus.
+ some of the dimension data we load
+ osme of the load errors we have had in the past.
There appears to be no way to delete the deployment history.
i do the same export again but with the "include associated essbase models with cube schemas" NOT ticked.
the export is successful and i can import successfully into the production instance.
the production and development instances are 11.1.2
strangely we had this feature working when we did our initial tests on studio, but somewhere something has gone astray
grateful if anyone could shine the light on this issue.
many thanks
jack

Have you read the section on exporting/importing in the studio admin doc as it should help answer your question - "Exporting and Importing the Essbase Studio Catalog Database" - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_user.pdf

Unable to create Measures dimension in proper relationshipin Essbase Studio

I am planning to build measure hierarchy in Essbase studio with TBCSample(SQL Server 2005) which is came by default with Essbase Studio installation
I built the hierarchy with parent child relationship.
However the hierarchies is not coming in the proper order
Generally Sales,COGS should come under “Margin ” and it should be under “Profit”
Eg:      Profit
     Margin
          Sales
          COGS
However it is showing differently in “Preview” mode.
Profit
Margin
Margin
Sales
COGS
When I deployed the cube I got the below errors because of the duplicate members
The error file is located on the server at: E:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseStudio\Server\.\ess_japihome\data\TBCSampl.TBCSampl_03-29-11_23-16-00.err

Thanks,

open the minischema and in the graphic go to your measures table. highlight either the parent or child member and right click. select create join. In the screen that comes up, selet the other column from the same table. It will create the join. You wnat an inner join. You can also click on the member and drag and drop the join line to the child member to create the join

Creating Measure in Essbase studio

Hi All,
I have created a user-defined table(say Table1) in Essbase studio having one calculated column(say Col1), Now when I use this column in another user-defined table like(Table1.col1) its throwing error "+Table or view dosent exist+".
Is there any way to use the column from one user-defined table in another user-defined table in Essbase studio??
Thanks.....
Regards,
Lolita

As John said, a user defined table is like a view or more accuractly a processed SQL on other tables. you can join to in in your minschema, but if you need to use the defined columns in another SQL, I suggest you go to your DBAs and have them add your table into the database as a view. It sounds like the need is complicated and is better done at the source.

Essbase Studio Cube Deployment SQL Connection Error

Hello,
Has anyone seen this error in studio.
Failed to deploy Essbase cube
Caused By: Failed to build Essbase cube dimension: (Accounts)
Caused By: Cannot incremental build. Essbase Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
I connected to the SQL database without issue creating the data source and I can view the sample data on the dimension element. The only time I have a connection issue is during cube deployment. The log is no help.
Thanks

Hi Celvin
Thanks for your reply.
I can connect from the same Essbase Server from the data source connection used in the Essbase Studio console.
I am not using any encrypted passwords.
I can log into MaxL with no issues, but running trying to execute the following command is where I get the error.
deploy all from model 'GL_Analysis' in cube schema '\ANALYSIS\Schema\Schema' with option delete_members login $1 identified by $2 on host 'server1' to application 'test1' database 'test1' overwrite values using connection 'essbaseserver' keep 200 errors on error ignore dataload write to default;
It allows me to connect and deploy sucessfully using the Maxl installed from the Essbase client version 11.1.2.2. However running the MaxL installed from the Essbase client MaxL version 11.1.2.3 seems to provide me with the connection issue. I am trying to determine if it is a bug or something that was missed during upgrade process.
Currently we need to deploy via the Studio.
Thanks.

Error in Cube Deployment from Essbase Studio

Hi All,
I am very new to ESSBAE Studio. I build up a minischema, dimension element(drag and drop from minischema), hierarchy(using dimension element) , Cube Schema and Meta model.
Now when I'm going to deploy the model to Essbase Console It throws error :
Member load for dimension Measure started at: 29-Nov-2012 12:52:32 o'clock GMT.
Member load for dimension BU started at: 29-Nov-2012 12:52:32 o'clock GMT. Member load elapsed time: 1 Second.
No mapping found for class : \'test'\'Dimension Element_MS'\'BU_V'\'ESS_PARENT'.
Any help on this please.
Thanks in advance.

Hi KosuruS,
Thanks for your help. But,
1> I have duplicate member names(as shared hierarchy)..but not with delayed key binding.
2> I don't have any user defined member with member formula.
I have my Measure hierarchy which have user defined member other than measure all hierarchies are coming from views.
Even it shows error which is a staight hierarchy like :
currency
----usd
----eur

Essbase Studio Performance Issue : Data load into BSO cube

Hello,
Having succesfully built my outline by member loading through Essbase Studio, I have tried to load data into my application again with Studio. However I was never able to complete the data load because it is taking forever. Each time I tried to work with Studio in streaming mode (hoping to increase the query speed), the load gets terminated due to the following error : Socket read timed out.
In the Studio properties file, I typed in, oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout=1000000000, but the result has not changed. Even if it did work out, I am also not sure the streaming mode is gonna provide a much faster alternative to working in non-streaming mode. What I'd like to know is, which Essbase settings I can change (either in Essbase or Studio server) in order to speed up my data load. I am loading into a Block Storage database with 3 Dense, 8 Sparse and 2 attribute dimensions. I filtered some dimensions and tried to load data to see exactly how long it takes to create a certain number of blocks. With ODBC setting in Essbase Studio, it took me 2.15 hours to load data into my application where only 153 blocks were created with the block size of 24B. Assuming that in my real application the number of Blocks created are going to be at least 1000 times more than this , I need to make some changes in settings. I am transferring the data from Oracle Database, with 5 tables joined to a fact table (view) from the same data source. All the cache settings in Essbase are in default mode. Would changing cache settings, buffer size or multiple threads help to increase the performance? Or what would you suggest that I should do?
Thank you very much.

Hello user13695196 ,
(sorry I no longer remember my system number here)
Before it comes to any optimisation attemps in the essbase (also Studio) environment you should definitily make clear that your source data query performs well at the oracle db.
I would recommand:
1. to create in your db source schema a View from your sql statement (these behind your data load rule)
2. query against this view with any GUI (Sql Developer, TOAD etc.) to fetch all rows and measure the time it takes to complete. Also count the effected (returned) number of rows for your information and for future comparing of results.
If your query runs longer then you think is acceptable then
a) check DB statistiks,
b) check and/or consider creating indexes
c) if you are unsure then kindliy ask your DBA for help. Usually they can help you very fast.
(Don't be shy - a DBa is a human being like you and me :-) )
Only when your sql runs fast (enough for you; or your DBA says is the best you can achieve) at the database move your effort over to essbase.
One hint in addition:
We had often problems when using views for dataload (not only performance but rather other strange behavior) . Thats the reaons why I like more directly to set up on (persistence) tables.
Just to keep in mind: If nothing helps create a table from your view and then query your data from this table for your essbase data load. Normaly however this should be your last option.
Best Regards
(also to you Torben :-) )

Unable to load data into Essbase cube using Essbase Studio

Hi
We are creating an essbase cube using Essbase Studio using flat files as data sources.
We have taken different hierarchies into different flat files and created one fact file having dimension intersection along with data.
We are able to create the cube and the hierarchy but not able to load any data.
We are getting the following error
Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
Caused by: Unable to perform dataload from more than one flat file.
Could anyone please help on this?

Oh this was killing me, so I did this test in 11.1.1.3:
1) Excel 2007 format -- no go, Essbase didn't see it
2) Excel 2003 format, three sheets -- only the first sheet was read into an empty rule
3) Excel 2003 format, one sheet -- the first sheet was read into an empty rule
4) Excel 95 format, one sheet -- the first sheet was read into an empty rule
The lesson?
1) Excel 2007/2010 sheets don't work (no surprise there as the .xlsx format isn't supported).
2) Excel 2003 and lower (hey, if you have Excel 4, I'll bet that works as well) work, but only the first sheet is recognized.
