Essbase Studio Cube Migration

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we want to migrate our Essbase Studio Cube from one environment to another. We want to migrate the entire catalog/models/cube/data.
Can anyone mention the correct sequence to follow.
(Version: 11.1.1.3)
I was trying to search this in forum; I found that the cubes can be migrated via LCM while the catalog migration is difficult.
Also please verify my understanding:
1. LCM cannot be used for Studio v11.1.1.3.
2. The catalog export/import option is not available for v11.1.1.3. It was introduced for v11.1.2.
Any response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

LCM still does not support studio in 11.1.2.2
11.1.2.0 Studio New Features - "In this release, you can replicate the Essbase Studio catalog database among different machines for various administrative purposes, such as making catalog backups, restoring the catalog, and moving the catalog from one machine to another. Essbase Studio now provides an option to export the catalog into an XML file. This file can then be imported to a new location or a different machine to recreate the catalog. You can selectively copy some catalog objects, export to an XML file, and then recreate these objects in a new location or on a different machine."
Cheers

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.

Essbase Studio Cube Deployment Error

Hi,
I am trying to deploy a cube using essbase studio 11.1.1.3.00. I am getting this error.
\\Record #1203 - Unable to write smartlist 801990, error code 1060301
Any ideas what the issue is? I can't find anything on the error and I don't have any idea what smartlist would have to do with the deployment.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I assume that the Essbase studio version is 11.1.2 and above.
The error is caused by the Essbase Studio Server failing to establish a connection with the SQL Database Server and you can try the following:
1) Back up the server.properties file and alter it in the following manner:
Change the server.essbase.streamingCubeBuilding=true to server.essbase.streamingCubeBuilding=false (use Essbase drivers)
2) Set the ODBCINST variable to point directly to odbcinst.ini
3) Then, the BPMS service should be restarted.
The file is named:
startBPMS_bpms1_Server.bat on Windows;
startBPMS_bpms1_Server.sh on UNIX.
Note:
The Essbase Studio Server startup file contains the commands necessary to start Essbase Studio Server. During the configuration process , the EPM System Configurator writes information to the startup file about the computer on which Essbase Studio is installed so that Essbase Studio Server can start properly. Oracle recommends that you do not manually edit the startup file.
The start up file is installed by default in:
MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1BPMS/bpms1/bin

I think I figure it out

Essbase Studio Cube Stores data as integer, drops decimals

I have an Essbase cube that I am developing in Essbase Studio 11.1.2.1. If I preview the data in Essbase Studio I can see the decimals for the number. However, when I deploy the cube the numbers are not stored in the Essbase cube with the decimal places. So for example I have a value of 106,257.58 on a certain intersection of data that I can see when I preview the data. However, when I querry the data in the cube after it is built it shows as 106,527.00. It is not rounding up, but instead just dropping the decimals.
I have also noticed that if I take a numeric field and do a math equation in the dimmension element, when I preivew the data in key bindings it also drops the decimals. But if I view the data in caption bindings the decimals show.
Is there a global setting where the numeric format is set? It almost seems like it is default to store numeric fields as integers and not with decimals. Any help is appreciated.

The first error is because you have the dimension set as stored either change it to multiple hierarchies or dynamic and it will allow shared members
The second error is because the first instance is getting tagged as the shared member. in 11.1.2 this is changed so Essbase automatically detects this issue and corrects it automatically
You are probably getting it because both your primary and secondary hierarchies are getting build intermingled
suppose you have your example
PRODUCT (Gen1)
Soda (Gen2)
123 (Gen 3)
747 (Gen 3)
Juice (Gen2)
555 (Gen 3)
747 (Gen 3) (shared member)
Water (Gen2)
111 (Gen 3)
747 (Gen 3) (shared member)
If you build this as a parent child recursive build and the order of your data file is
Parent Child
Product Soda
Product Juice
Product Water
Juice 747
Soda 747
yiou see it would add the 747 to juice first so the Soda would get shared. You would need to change it so the Soda 747 would be seen first

Physical Path for Essbase Studio Cubes

Hi All,
I have one doubt regarding Cubes developed in Essbase Studio.I want to know the extact phyical existance path for Essbase Studio.
Currently we have an space constraint for Essbase Studio in Server.So,Is there any possibility to change the cube path in Essbase Studio where we have sufficient space.
Can some one provide assistance for this issue
Thanks,
SatyaB

Hi All,
Currently Iam facing with Cube space allocation.
Essbase Applications is installed in D: .Currently D: has only 2GB Disk Space only. So, They want to point out the applications in E: drive which contains sufficient space.
Can someone suggest me where I have to make changes in settings to build and load the cube in E: instead of D: drive.
For your reference
1. Building and Loading of cube is happening through Essbase Studio.
2. EPM Version : 11.1.2 (Platform : Windows)
Should I need to make changes in EAS Console edit properties. Please Advise. Thanks in Advance.
Thanks,

Essbase studio application migration

Hi,
We need to migrate Essbase studio model in 11.1.1.3. When I tried tofind options I cannot find export/import options. Also right clicked on the the folder and not able to see any options for export, import, copy etc.
How do we migrate this?
Thank you
Raj

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Your reply helped me to get some insgits. Then how the incremental migration happens. Does it mean we need to update manually? If a new model is created for new application and you know that schema copy is not possible. Does it mean that, we need to migrate the new model by manually creating all artifacts of Essbase studio?
Thank you
Raj

MaxL script deploy essbase studio cube

Hi There,
I am testing my MaxL script deploying cube from essbase studio, here is result from my cmd windows:
BPM connect status: success
BPM maxL deployment ... succeeded with warning.
How do I find out the detail about the warning? I assume it is essbase studio log at C:\Hyperion\logs\esbstudio
But I did not see any warning message.
Thanks

Thanks John and Glenn, I just check my app log, the warning I found is:
Warning(1013254)
Hybrid Analysis spanning cannot be enabled on database [test] in application [test]. Check if the database has Hybrid Analysis and if span into relational source is enabled.
I am not sure I understand this.

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?

Solution to Errno:7 in MaxL for Essbase Studio redeployment scripts

This is an answer to an archived forum post that I found via a Google search. The forum post no longer accepts replies. The forum post contained an unanswered question about how to resolve "Errno:7" in MaxL in release 11.1.2.3 when trying to redeploy an outline through Essbase Studio.
I encountered the same error in a client environment and could not find any resolution or references to this in the Knowledge Base, patches, release notes, etc.
I wanted to post the resolution that worked for me, in case someone else encounters Errno:7 in MaxL.
In this particular instance, the MaxL "deploy outline" script worked fine until we upgraded 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.3. After upgrading, we could still connect to the Essbase Agent via MaxL, but the "deploy outline" script fails with "Not able to connect to BPM Server. Errno:7" and "BPM Connect Status: Error". No evidence of the error could be found in the logs for the Essbase Agent, the Essbase application in question, and Essbase Studio. Using the Essbase Studio Console to redeploy the outline worked fine.
The root cause was learned when we ran the EPM Registry Editor to view a registry report. The report showed that while Essbase Studio was correctly listening on port 5300, the web port was still on the old 11.1.2.1 port (9080) instead of the port 11.1.2.3 was expecting (12080). This port number is not exposed to us if we go back into the EPM Configuration tool and drill down to Essbase Studio. The config tool only allows us to change the relational database connection and the "datafiles" folder location. Running "netstat -na" from the command prompt confirmed that the server was listening to 9080 instead of 12080.
Using the EPM Registry Editor command-line tool to update the port's property value and then restarting the Essbase Studio service fixed the issue for us. If you read the Essbase Studio documentation as I did, you may have had the impression that editing a file on the server would do the trick. But the Readme for Essbase Studio 11.1.2.3 provides the real answer:
"Starting in Release 11.1.2.3, the following Essbase Studio server properties are stored in the
Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Registry database.
The 11.1.2.3 Oracle Essbase Studio User's Guide describes all server properties as being in the
server.properties file. To view or modify the settings in Shared Services Registry, use the
epmsys_registry utility, described in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System
Deployment Options Guide."
I hope this helps and good luck!

Hi Santy,
Here's the original forum post: Essbase Studio Cube deployment via MaxL error
In that thread, someone had questioned if an 11.1.2.2 MaxL client could still connect and bypass the error. I happened to have a laptop handy with the 11.1.2.2 MaxL client installed on it and was able to test that. The 11.1.2.2 MaxL client got the error as well.
In my 11.1.2.3 environment I tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit MaxL runtimes and verified both were on the latest available Essbase patch set for 11.1.2.3. Again, they still got the Errorno:7 message. The problem was only fixed after updating the "server.httpPort" property value via the epmsys_registry tool.

Essbase Studio Console - Cannot migrate existing 9.3.1 Catalog file to 11.1

Hi
I have been using Essbase 9.3.1 wanted to migrate to Essbase Studio (11.1.1). I tried to use EIS Catalog Migration tool for migrating 9.3.1 catalog files to Essbase 11.1.1, but unfortunately the "Migrate" button in the "EIS catalog Migration" dialog is disabled (although I fetched the models). Does anybody know why the Migrate button is disabled? So, I gave up migrating existing models and created brand new Minischema, Cube Schema and Essbase model from scrach. I am following the Essbase Studio User Guide. When I was creating Essbase model, I had to create Hierarchies for all dimensions because the model accepted only Measures/Measure Hierarchies and Hierarchies. Is this correct?
Also, I want to add attribute dimensions? Since I only have hierarchies, the selecting member as Attributes instruction doesn't make any sense. Can anybody help please?
Regards
Chandra

The method you have given is definitely the best one, just treat it like a business rule migration from one server to another.
Cheers

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.

Cameron Lackpour

Error in deploying the cubes in Essbase Studio

I am getting below error when I try to depoly ASO cubes in Essbase Studio.
***Failed to deploy Essbase cube***
***Caused By: Error when retrieving data from SQL source***
***Caused By: Error when retrieving data from SQL source***
***Caused By: [Hyperion][DB2 JDBC Driver]SQLDIAGGRP was specified and not null.***
I also checked the error log generated in the applications asking to increase the NETDELAY and NETRETRY COUNTS in ESSBASE.CFG, the config file. I made those changes, restarted the services and deployed again but in vain.

There have been a number of MaxL bugs with encryption that produce 'Parse error near...' messages. If you login to Oracle Support and search the Knowledge Base on 'Parse error near' you will find them. I can't see anything specifically relating to 11.1.2.1 or a known defect in the release notes... ...I'd get a support ticket raised, if you haven't already.
You don't mention platform, but I've also run into a bug running 'deploy' in 11.1.2.1 on a 64-bit Windows environment and there was a Unix bug too, but they both caused crashes so probably aren't your problem.
