Essbase studio data loading

Hi Friends,
I need some help in cube deployment using Essbase studio and oracle as my source. I am trying to deploy a cube, my dimensions are loaded properly but data loading fails and gives following error.
*"Cannot get async process state. Essbase Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information"*
Kindly advice.
Thanks
Andy

"Multiple connections when expected one"
Is there anyawy to bypass this? I have following columns in my tables:
Table1 in schema1:
XID | PRODID | MEASURE1 | MEASURE2 | MEASURE3
Table2 in schema2:
PRODID | UD1 | UD2 | UD3
My essbase metadata are created from:
XID
UD1

Essbase Studio Data Load error java.lang.NullPointerException

Guys I am getting a termination with errors on data load using Studio (Essbase Studio 11.2.1.00 / Analytic Services java.lang.NullPointerException. I have done some research but getting dead-ends. I faced this error before and managed to resolve it by truncating some member names that were too long. Any ideas what is causing it?

Hi Dr. Tas,
Can you update the Essbase Studio server and Essbase Server log when the load fails.

Essbase Studio data load and other

Hi There,
I got my cube build from my data mart with one fact table and bunch of dimensions and deploy successfully to essbase server. The questions I have are:
1. I have another fact table with the same dimensions, I need to load the data into the cube I build. How do I load the data from Essbase Studio, should I add that new Fact table into my schemas? I know I can load the data through EAS, but it seems defeated the purpose of Essbase studio.
2. Is there any way I can specify from essbase studio for certain, for example, account level, as TB Last, or Avg, it seems you have to apply to the whole level as TB Last, etc. from Essbase Model Properties.
Thanks

Essbase Studio Data Sources

Hello,
we are familiar with Essbase Integration Services (EIS) which we use to build our essbase outline with the memberload-option.
EIS itself uses configured ODBC-DSN to read data from relational databases. Because EIS uses the ODBC DSN of the system where EIS Server is running it is possible to use other ODBC-DSN/Drivers than the from DataDirect supported ones.
Because we have a big EDW which is not supported officially in the Essbase Support Stack we still have the requirement to use our EDW as Data Source to Build the Outline (The Essbase Data Load also uses a EDW ODBC-DSN to load Data).
In fact the Essbase Data Load via a free configurable ODBC will still work.
But if we look for a Step from EIS to Essbase Studio we recognize that Essbase Studio will only Support some few Databases (in 11.1.2.3 it is Oracle (+RAC), MS SQL, MySQL, DB2, Netezza, Teradata)
Does anybody knows other RDBMS / ODBC-Drivers that already have successfully configured/tested with Essbase Studio.
The Documentation still say that Essbase Studio will Support relational databases but i think they mean the ones which are hard-coded in the essbase studio console gui.
Best Regards,
Kai

It doesn't have to but it makes life much easier.

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.

Data load error in essbase studio

I get the following error when trying to load an ASO cube using Essbase Studio (EPM 11.1.2). This error doen't seem to be documented in any of the Essbase manuals. Question - does this error indicate an essbase server issue or a data source issue? I'm thnking it's datasource related, but my data source is an Oracle database, which I've used previously to load cubes without a problem. I've refreshed the source and can connect to it fine otherwise.
Error:
Data load started at: Fri Dec 03 08:52:21 EST 2010. Data load elapsed time: 10 Minutes 23 Seconds.
Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
Caused by: Failed to load data into database: 8020.
Caused by: Cannot execute a SQL query
Caused by: Io exception: Socket read timed out
Caused by: Socket read timed out
Appreciate any hel with this issue.

When I have issues with Studio I try to break it down slowly. I build my dimensions one at a time. If it breaks on a single dimension build I trace the issues backwards and usually find my issue in the schema.
Studio's role in life is to create SQL load rules and as such depend on a good schema definition. Unforntunately, the dimension build rules can't be opened in EAS with the Dataprep Editor (regular load rules) because they're binary and can do things that a normal load rule cannot (text measures, date measures, time varying attributes, etc.). But that doesn't mean the .rul files are un-readable. If you're having trouble with a particular dimension build process, open the load rule it creates with something like Notepad and grab the SQL that Studio is generating and drop it into Toad (or equivalant) to see if it is generating usable code. If not, there's something wrong with your modeling and you need to go back to the mini-schema.
When you're able to build all dimensions all at the same time, you're almost there. If your issues comes when you want to build and load data, the final debuging steps go quickly. Towards that end, the data load rules (ones that load data vs. building dimensions) generated by Studio can be edited in EAS using the Dataprep Editor. If you know SQL Load Rules, you should be able to figure out. If not, contact John Goodwin, OCS or a partner and set up a consulting visit.

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 :-) )

Loading the data from essbase studio to the cube

I am building application using Essbase studio 11.1.2
I have been able too create the hierarchies, but I am not clear on the process of assigning the data piece.
In this instance all data is in a table named “FullPolicyCount”
What is the process for a successful load of the data to the cube
Please advise

Hi,
take a look into psa data. The key is defined by the request, the record number, the data packet and the change indic. Use the same key for your ods/dso and you will get all records to your ods/dso. Use update mode overwrite for the keyfigures (but just because it is the default). With the obove mentioned key it doesn't matter if your update mode is overwrite or addition.
regards
Siggi

Rejected record message from Essbase Studio load (3355)

I receive the following error when deploying an outline via Essbase Studio to an ASO cube (ver 11.1.2):
\\Record #36798 - Member XXX does not exist. Reference member column types require the field to be an existing member (3355)
As I read the error (BTW, can someone help me find the table of rejected record codes?), it is rejecting the assignment of an attribute to a member because the member does not exist.
What could be a reason though that I did not receive an "Error adding member XXX" rejection beforehand or something indicating that there was an error adding the member originally? I am puzzled because I cannot find anything special about the source data when comparing to the many others that loaded successfullly.

Hi All,
Towards this error if we are talking about Hyperion Essbase - Version 11.1.2.1.000 and later.
So mostly we are facing this issue has been verified as unpublished Bug 12967639.
As documented in KM:
Unable to Save ASO Outline After Renaming Members, "Error(1007072) Member [xxx] tagged as <REFER does not have a member to refer to" [ID 1465850.1]
Also towards ASO there is another document having all there as:
Oracle Hyperion Essbase and Aggregate Storage (ASO) [ID 1291202.1]
Thanks,

Essbase Studio Invaild Data Type

Hi All,
I am having an issue when trying to build and load data to a cube using Essbase Studio.
They are running Oracle9i Enterprise edition 9.2.0.6.0 and Essbase 11.1.1.3.
The cube deployment errors out on the data load and returns the following info in the details box.
1. [connection : \'FCS3'::'PRODADM.DIM_BUSINESS_UNIT', connection : \'FCS3'::'PRODADM.DIM_SCENARIO', connection : \'FCS3'::'PRODADM.DIM_DEPARTMENT', connection : \'FCS3'::'PRODADM.DIM_TOTALYEAR']
2. [connection : \'FCS3'::'PRODADM.DIM_ACCOUNT']
When I try to join the tables in the schema editor I get the following error.
Invalid Join
Join columns must have the same data type.
The data types are all the same.
Has anyone run into this issue?
Thanks in advance.

when you created the connection were the data types the same? If you change them after making the connection, that version of studio won't pick up the change. An easy way to check what Studio thinks the data types are is to go to the tables in your connection and right click and view the properties. It will show you the data types it has

Data Load behaviour in Essbase

Hello all-
I am loading data from Flat File using a server Rule File. In the rule file i have properties for a feild where in it replaces a name in flat file for member name in outline so it is somwhat like this:
Replace With
Canada 00-200-SE
Belgium 00-300- SE
and so on
Now in my flat file there was a new member for example china & the replacement for it was not present in Rule File & when the data was loaded in the system it didnt rejected that record on the contrary it loaded the values for china in
the region which was above it and overwrited the values for the original one.
Is this the normal behavior of essbase , I was thinking that record should have been rejected .
I know when we do a Lock & Send via Addin & if member is not present in outline it give you warning when you lock that sheet & eventually if you dont delete that member from the template it will load data against it in the member above it.
Is there a waok around for this problem or this is what it is ?
I am on Hyperion Planning / Essbase Version 9.3.1.
Thanks

Still thinking how does these properties effects the way data is being loaded right now. Have gone through DBAG & i dont see a reason y any of these peoperties might be affecting the load^^^Here's what I think is happening: China is not getting mapped, but the replacement for Belgium is occuring and resolves to a valid member name. Essbase sees China and doesn't recognize it (you knew all of this already).
When the load occurs, Essbase says (okay, I am anthromorphizing, but you get the ida) "Eh, I have no idea what China is, but 00-300-SE is the last good Country member I have, I will load there." Essbase is picking the last valid member and loading to that. I liken it to a lock and send from Excel with nested dimensions and non-repeating members. Essbase "looks up" a row, finds the valid member, and loads there.
And yes, this is in the DBAG: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag/ddlload.htm#ddlload1034271
Search for "Unknown Member Fields" -- it's all the way at the bottom of the above link.
In fact, to save you the trip, per the DBAG:
If you are performing a data load and Essbase encounters an unknown member name, Essbase rejects the entire record. If there is a prior record with a member name for the missing member field, Essbase continues to the next record. If there is no prior record, the data load stops. Regards,
Cameron Lackpour

Data load failures in Essbase Clusters ( MSCS)

Hi,
If there is a failure on the Active Essbase Cluster Node (call this Node A) and the Cube has to be rebuilt on Cluster Node B, how will the Cube be re-built on Cluster Node B.
what will orchestrate the required activities in the correct order to rebuild the Cube)? Both Essbase nodes are mounted on to Microsoft Clustered Services.
In essential, I want to know
A) How to handle the metadata load that failed on Node1 onto Essbase Node2?
B) Does the session continues to perform the meta data/ data load on the Essbase Second Node when the Essbase First Node fails?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
UB.

It would be built the same way as you either use the Essbase clustername or the MSCS VIP used for the Essbase cluster configuration, you would not ever be referencing a host name so it does not matter which node it is running on.
The session will be lost on a failover as it is the same as an essbase restart.
Cheers
John

Essbase Studio Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Data

Hi.
I have trying to deploy a cube with Essbase Studio but I get the error: "*Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server*"

Hi,
If you type database SID in lowercase, try to reenter iot in uppercase. Strange, but I and my colleagues encounter this behaviour many times.

Load rules generate by Essbase Studio

I'm using Essbase Studio to create dimension build load rules in Essbase. When the dimension load rules are created in Essbase, does it use the ODBC connection in the Essbase server or in Essbase Studio?

It depends on if you are using streaming or non-streaming mode. If streaming mode then it has to be on the Essbase server if non-streaming mode then it goes through the Studio server
