Essbase Studio Migration 11.1.3

I am trying to migrate existing EIS catalog to Essbase studio 11.1.3.
Its wired that Essbase studio is only recongnizing User DSN when compared to System DSN for EIS Catalog DSN
Essbase/EIS/Essbase Studio are installed on the same box.
Using SQl Native Client 2005 for ODBC connceiton.
have to create File DSN for Studio migration.
Is any body else facing similar issue, does Studio treats User DSN diff to System DSN, just curio's , any insight will be appreciated.

Hi,
I have no issues with essbase studio using an ODBC system DSN, in essbase studio under EIS migration I can just enter the EIS ODBC System DSN and it will retrieve all the models.
Any chance you using 64bit windows and are not using the correct ODBC administrator (32bit against 64bit)

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

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."

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.

How to set alias using Essbase Studio?

I have read through P113-P118 "Oracle Essbase Studio User Guide" about the how to set up alias. It seems easy t create the Alias Set according to the document.
I want to set 100-10 alias as "Cola", the information comes from the TBC relational database. The product table in RLDB has field SKU and SKU_Alias columns, the value of SKU is: 100-10,100-20, etc.
My binding is:
Source: SKU
connection : TBC::TBC.Product.SKU_ALIAS
This is using the grammer in page 115
connection :
\'<logical_source_name'::'<physical_data_source_name>.<physical_tabl
e_name>'.'<physical_column_name>'
But after I deployed the cube, I cannot see the product alias name as expected from EAS? I tried 100 times, but cannot find what's wrong with me. Please advise, thanks!
My question: How to set up or associate the alias set with the product items from Essbase Studio so that I can see it from EAS? thanks! Bob
Edited by: user2571802 on Jan 10, 2010 9:38 PM

First it may be useful to convert the EIS TBC model to Studio, to do this you would have to configure EIS and create the TBC sample application.
Once it has been created in Studio you can go to Tools > EIS Catalog migration and migrate the TBC app from EIS to Studio.
If you use this method all the aliases etc will be already set up so you can see how it is done.
To set up Aliases you would go to
Tools > "Alias set Manager" > Create a new alias say "Default" and add a binding e.g. PRODUCTDIM.SKU to PRODUCTDIM.SKUALIAS
Then on your Model right click "Essbase Properties" > Alias tab > Select the Default alias table and move to the selected tables window.
This should of then assigned the default table, if you check the properties of say PRODUCTDIM.SKU in the alias tab Default and the mapping should be shown.

Essbase Studio - Import Catalog using an automatic process

Hello,
I'd like to make the process of importing Essbase Studio catalog more automatic in the customer environment. Instead of having to open Essbase Studio application every time I want to deploy a new version of the catalog ( either full or partial ), is there any way to export/import the catalog using a unix shell script or DOS command ?
Thanks in advance
Victor

I think the options will be quite limited for automating migrations until 11.1.2.3 where LCM supports Studio.

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?

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.

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."
Which setting I have to increase

Essbase Studio Error in 11.1.2.2

Hi Everyone,
I have installed hyperion 11.1.2.2 in windows 2008 Server and configured sucessfully however when i click on essbase studio console i am getting the below error.
A javaruntime environment (JRE) or java development kit (JDK) must be available. No Virtual Machine was found after searching the following locations.
C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\Essbasestudio\console\jre\bin\javaw.exe
javaw.exe is current path.
i don't see the javaw.exe file in the above path. Kindly help me in this.
Regards,
AS

If you edit
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseStudio\Console\startStudio.bat
then you will probably see "set JAVA_HOME=..." is pointing to an incorrect location
As the Studio console is 32bit then it needs to point to a 32bit JRE e.g.
set JAVA_HOME="E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\JRE"

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.

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.
