Essbase Studio- DTS Issue 11.1.2.1

Hi Everyone,
A few months ago, we built our cube through Essbase Studio so that we could allow drill through reports on the cube.
We set Dynamic Time Series on our PERIOD dimension at the Year and Quarter Level.
Our hierarchy looks like this:
PERIOD
|--BEGBALANCE
|--YEARTOTAL
|--|--H1
|--|--|--Q1
|--|--|--|--APR
|--|--|--|--MAY
|--|--|--|--JUN
|--|--|--Q2
|--|--|--|--JUL
|--|--|--|--AUG
|--|--|--|--SEP
|--|--H2
|--|--|--Q3
|--|--|--|--OCT
|--|--|--|--NOV
|--|--|--|--DEC
|--|--|--Q4
|--|--|--|--JAN
|--|--|--|--FEB
|--|--|--|--MAR
In Studio, we built this dimension as a recursive hierarchy and NOT level based.
Our settings are Time (DTS) however we can only choose generation 1 or 2 and cannot put it at gen 2 and 4 where it should be.
We set it as a dense dimension, no two pass, and label only and no formulas or UDAs.
When we run a smart view query with dynamic time series for October (for example), we get an error message [cannot perform cube operation.null].
My coworker then converted the recursive hierarchy to level based just for testing purposes (because we thought the issue was that we built a recursive hierarchy and could only set DTS at gen 1 or 2). After building the hierarchy as level based, we hit the same issue regardless of whether we set the DTS at level or generation.
I am just wondering if anyone has run into this issue before and has a resolution. We are running 11.1.2.1 for version. We have an SR logged with Oracle as of a couple of months ago and they told us they would have a resolution in a week since they were able to duplicate the issue. We have escalated the SR numberous times and have not received a solution yet.
I appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Daniel

I have run into the exact same problem. Did you ever get a resolution? I have also logged a support call so would be interested to know if it is resolved.
Thanks
Steve

  • 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 :-) )

  • EssBase Studio Hierarchy Issues

    How can I add a dimension or alternate hierachy to an existing Essbase cube without having to re-create the model and reset all of the dimension properties? I am using 11.1.3.

    Are the member properties stored in a table anywhere where you can copy the table back into the recreated Essbase model? Or would it be better to extract the outline with the member properties and save the file as a datasource and attach it to the minischema? That way we could load the member properties back into the Essbase model w/o having to update all of the members w/in the dimensions.

  • 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

  • Essbase studio unicode character issue

    Hi all,
    We are facing issues in Essbase Studio when records with unicode character is encountered.
    E.g. We have a field like City BUCUREȘTI with a unicode character. So when the record with this filed comes, it concatenates the part of the filed (City BUCURE) before the special character to the next record and the next record gets rejected. So we are seeing the below error in the logs :
    \\Record #1060 - Incorrect Syntax For Member City BUCURECountry ZA     H668207     A676477
    We are deploying it as Unicode application
    Details : Source database : Teradata 13
    Essbase - 11.1.2.2
    We are using streaming mode and dynamic ODBC and deploying unicode application.
    Has anybody faced this issue and can help me?
    Many thanks.

    Are you definitely sure that is not an issue with the syntax of the deploy command, are you saying the Maxl works when running it from the Essbase Studio Server?

  • Essbase Studio Model Availability Issue

    Hi Essbase Studio Guru's,
    My Essbase studio is on a different Linux server from the server where I'm running my Maxl script to execute deploy all command. Maxl fails as it is not able to find the essbase studio model. The server I'm running Maxl is a part of the epmsystems in our environment. Can anyone please let me know if there is a way or a setting which can make the essbase studio model available from any of the server in the epmsystems.
    Thanks

    Have you read the introduction and user guide to studio > http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/est_help/frameset.htm?ch02s01.htm
    You can open EAS from within Studio. Though Studio is not really designed for editing existing essbase applications. You need to compare studio to EIS not EAS.

  • How to Clear Deployment History in Essbase Studio 11.1.2

    Hi All,
    I was unable to export the entire catalog in Essbase Studio 11.1.2.So,I posted the issue with Oracle Support and got reply as follows
    "found the failure for the export of entire catalog could be related to a large deployment history. In this case there are two options for 11.1.2.0.00 release
    1. Try to increase memory setting but on Windows 32-bit platforms ensure it should be below the maximum setting of 2048 MB.
    2. If it doesn't help, please try to clean-up deployment history."

  • Error while deploying Essbase studio

    Hi All,
    I need some help with the studio deployment error. I have created a bat script to run Maxl which will deploy essbase studio, then create some user defined measures using rules files and then calculation.
    When I ran the batch script first time, it was successful. Now its giving me the following error :
    BPM Connect Status: Success
    Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
    Caused by: Cannot begin incremental build. Essbase Error(1007151): Wrong incremental dimension build sequence
    BPM maxl deployment ...failure.
    Please help
    Thanks

    There is no issue for BSO cubes. Internally the BSO outlines are different from ASO cubes and this restriction does not appear in them. For ASO cubes, the problem is caused by deleting and readding dimensions. If you do incremental builds on dimensions, you will not have the 255 dimension issue, but the ASO outline will still grow. So the compaction utility in EsscmdQ is still valid for that.

  • Essbase Studio Alternate Hierarchy Creation error

    Hi All,
    I'm using Essbase Studio to create an alternate hierarchy. I have a dim which has shared members and I'm getting the following error msg during cube deployment:
    1. Record #1- Member Name (SKU) already used i.e. the member for which I m trying to create shared member
         I m following the same procedure mentioned in the user guide i.e.
            Step1: create a copy of the dimension element that you want to designate as a shared member(Renamed SKU_copy with SKU_Diet). By making a copy, the binding expression for this element is the same as the original dimension element (SKU_Diet).
           Step2: when you create the second hierarchy in the chain, which is the alternate hierarchy, add a user-defined membas the parent and add the new dimension element (SKU_Diet) as the child, which will be the shared member.
         Even I m able to see the shared members (SKU_Diet) under user defined member "Diet" under the preview window (both by key binding and caption binding) as wel..
         But I m unable to see the shared members in EAS console after deploying the cube from Essbase Studio to EAS Console.
    I m not able to understand what I m missing exactly,.and suggest me other ways as well for creating alternate hierarchies in Essbase Studio.

  • 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.
