Essbase studio question

Hi, I am using Essbase studio 11.1.2,
I am finding that when i make changes to a hierarchy I can refresh the cube schema and my hierarchy changes are brought into the cube schema.
When i refresh the essbase model the hierarchy changes are not brought into the essbase model, and it is necessary to regenerate the model.
is this a known limitation of the studio or am i doing something wrong with the tool.
The change i made to the hierarchy was to add attributes.

From the new features guide found at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_new_features/est_new_features.html
, recreating or rebuilding an Essbase model is not required when you perform these operations:
Change the binding, filter, sort order, or alias set bindings of a dimension element
Change the binding, range, or alias set bindings of a derived text measure
Change the value binding or ID binding of a text list
Change an overridden data load binding in a cube schema
Note that recreating or rebuilding an Essbase model is required when you perform the following operations:
Reorder, add, or remove members in a hierarchy or measure hierarchy
Add or remove hierarchies from a cube schema
Add or remove any loose measures in a cube schema
Change the measure hierarchy in a cube schema
Override the default data load bindings in a cube schema
So it sounds like it is working as designed, you need to rebuild the Essbase model

Essbase studio 11.1.2.1 problem

First of all hello to all and please please help. I'm in the on-site poc engagement where we successfully loaded customer's hierarchies using essbase studio but we cannot somehow make it working with loading data.
Few details:
fact table is very large, around 16 M records and is based on Oracle DB.
The message I'm getting after launching only load task says:
Cannot join following sets of tables: 1. [connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KREDYTY']
2. [connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.DORADCA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KAT_RYZYKA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.ORGANIZACJA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.OBSZAR', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_KRED', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_PROD', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KANAL', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_RACH', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.POC_PARMPF_AGR', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TERMIN', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.LINIA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.PODMIOT', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.SALDA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_OPROC', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.DEPOZYTY', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.WALUTA'].
I don't understand that as I did created joins between fact table and dimension tables.
In the log file I found following 2 sections:

If I understand it correctly essbase studio doesn't allow to deploy app that is already there but the question is why it want to deploy when I select only load data task ?
Also, can somebody tell me why I cannot setup custom sql ?
I'd really appreciate your help as we can win million + deal
Thanks!!!!

I hear that there is a really good book available now on Studio (http://www.amazon.com/Look-Smarter-Than-Essbase-Studio/dp/1458362434/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336684325&sr=8-1), you may want to see if that helps. Hopefully the very reasonable cost can be viewed as a good investment for that million + deal.

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 - 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

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.

How to start Essbase Studio? 11.1.2

Hi,
I am trying to start the Essbase studio client on a windows 64 bit system. However, when I invoke the startStudio.bat in C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseStudio\Console it shows me a pop-up with various configurations like JDK path etc with the error message "JVM terminated with exit code -1."
I am having JDK 1.6_25 on my system.
Can anyone please let me the problem here?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you,
Dhar

Hello,
I am getting the same error message when I installed the Essbase Studio Console. I just found your comment and have a quick question. Did you just download the 32-bit JDK and install it? Do you have to do any remapping for the console to use the 32-bit version? In looking at the 'setJavaRuntime.bat' file, it seems that it is always pointing to the jdk160_21 version that came by default when the console is installed, which is 64-bit.
set JAVA_HOME=%EPM_ORACLE_HOME%\..\jdk160_21
This is what I saw in the bat file:
@echo off
REM Setting Java HOME
if "%EPM_ORACLE_HOME%" == "" (
     echo " Environment variable EPM_ORACLE_HOME not defined "
     goto end
REM Get JRE or JDK

Essbase Studio Deployment Dimension Build Errors

I have a ASO cube used to handle Subsidiary financial reporting to parent. Rather than alternate hierarchies, we use attribute dimensions for yearly differentiation. The ASO cube typically holds information for Current year + 3 prior years. This is the first year that we will achieve this as this cube was created near the beginning of 2010. Therefore, with the cube already having attribute dimension for 2010 & 2011, with the beginning of 2013 it is necessary to create the 2012 attribute dimensions. The cube has 13 anchor dimensions. Typically only 4 of these dimensions have attribute dimensions derived from them. Nonetheless, the following is the build list of the dimensions in the essbase model:
1: Financials Standard, Dynamic, Sparse
2: GL Date Time, Stored, Sparse
3: Incident Date Standard, Stored, Sparse
4: View Standard, Dynamic, Dense
5: Company Standard, Multiple-hierarchy, Sparce
6: Well location Standard, Stored, Sparse
7: Depletion Code Standard, Stored, Sparse
8: Vendor Standard, Stored, Sparse
9: Entity Standard, Stored, Sparse
10: Profit Center Standard, Stored, Sparse
11: Curr Yr Cost Obj Standard, Stored, Sparse
12: Past Yr Cost Obj Standard, Stored, Sparse
13: Measures Accounts, Dynamic, Existing
Attribute dimensions are mainly created in 4 of the Defined Hierarchies with in the cube; 1:FINANCIALS, 5:COMPANY, 6:WELL Location, & 10:PROFIT CENTER.
According to the Essbase Server log, upon deployment, the FINANCIALS Hierarchy generates 19 Dimension Build rule files with the associated SQL to pull members from our SQL Dimension Build tables obviously based on the way the Hierarchy is built as well as the joins created in the MiniSchema in the referenced Data Source. The COMPANY Hierarchy generates 5 Dimension Build rule files, WELL LOCATION generates only 1 Dimension Build rule file (this is mainly due to the fact that all the attributes generated from WELL LOCATION are built from the same table), and PROFIT CENTER Generates 3 Dimension build rule files. At this point for comparison purposes I want to include excerpts from the Server Deployment Log file depicting the dimension build rule files generated from the PROFIT CENTER Hierarchy:
Rule 1 Labeled XXXX_PRO.rul
… FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center] cp_319 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 ON (cp_319.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
Rule 2 Labeled XXXX_PR1.rul
… FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2010] cp_275 ON (cp_275.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2010]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
Rule 3 Labeled XXXX_PR2.rul
FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2011] cp_276 ON (cp_276.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2011]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
These Dimension Build rule files are recreated nightly on 4 different production servers, each one successfully redeploying nightly with zero errors.
So now I need to add the new 2012 tables to the Data Source/MiniSchema, create the joins in the MiniSchema mimicking the joins for the 2010 & 2011 Attribute Dimensions. It would be difficult to demonstrate the joins in the MiniSchema but trust me they are there and this is proven by the additional Dimension Build rule files from the appropriate Hierarchies.
So on our test server, which is configured exactly like all 4 of our production servers, I have begun the creation of the 2012 attribute dimensions. I begin with the FINANCIALS Hierarchy adding 7 new attribute dimensions, 6 that are cross table and one that is inter-table.
At this point no changes have been made to any of the other 3 Hierarchies that contain Attribute dimensions; COMPANY, WELL LOCATION, or PROFIT CENTER. They still look exactly as they did in the current state discussed above. Upon deployment, the FINANCIALS Hierarchy generates , as expected 25 Dimension Build rule files, 6 additional because only 6 were cross table attributes, the 7th was within the anchor table and therefore would be included in the first dimension build rule file. COMPANY still generates 5 Dimension Build rule files, again as expected. WELL LOCATION still generates only the 1 Dimension rule file also as expected. Lastly, PROFIT CENTER also again only generates the 3 Dimension Rule files, however, one has materially changed as noted below:
Rule 1 Labeled XXXX_PRO.rul
…FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center] cp_319 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 ON ((cp_319.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code]) AND (cp_328.[profit_center_code]=cp_319.[profit_center_code])) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
Rule 2 Labeled XXXX_PR1.rul (This one did not change)
…FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2010] cp_275 ON (cp_275.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2010]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
Rule 3 Labeled XXXX_PR2.rul (This one did not change)
…FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2011] cp_276 ON (cp_328.[profit_center_code_2011]=cp_276.[profit_center_code]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
The change in Rule 1 above appears to now require something different from the previous deployment and when we run the deployment now it runs forever and ultimately fails, yet no changes have been made to the Hierarchy, no changes have been made to the MiniSchema involving joins to the tables used in the building of the Hierarchy, and no new tables have been added to the data source that would affect this Hierarchy.
Additionally, I have also run each of these incrementally, and the PROFIT CENTER even incrementally still makes the change to the SQL statement shown above.
So finally, to my question, Why and What caused this Dimension Build Rule file to change and ultimately led to deployment failure? Has anyone ever encountered this in Essbase Studio Deployments?

Gurus, anybody anything on this one??
I haave done a small adjustment in the dimension order by which I have eliminated the following error:
Record #40 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member xxxxxxxxx (3320)
Record #40 - No time dimension defined
But, I have the following new error/warning (cube build successfull in this case) when I made this adjustment:
Record #427 - Error adding Attribute to member PATB4_ADJ-PDA (3320)
The adjustment I made is... I moved TIME dimension up and ACCOUNT dimension below that...so the order I have now is TIME,ACCOUNT,SCENATRIO,XXX,XXXX instead of ACCOUNT,TIME,SCENARIO,XXX,XXXXX ..*would this create any performance issues?*

Issue in XOLAP model through Essbase Studio

Hi all,
I am facing a issue in XOLAP (ASO) cube created by Essbase studio. Actually when i am fetching the data at higher level of all dimension it is showing the aggregated data. But at lower level it is not showing any data. Any body any idea about it.
Thanks

if iam not wrong ur the same who posted this >>Question looks exactly same

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 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

Help with Essbase studio

Hi All,
I wanted some help/ advice with building cubes using essbase studio. I had posted the similar question earlier but this is bit different. Actually we have data in the following format:
Employee ,     Region,     Product,    Version,    Activity,   Dates
ABC,          CA,            Prod1,           1,           Intro_date,       01/10/11
PQR,          CA,            Prod1,           1,           Offer_Date,       03/10/11
PQR,          CA,            Prod1,           1,           End_Date,       04/10/11
Now we want to build the cube using studio. Where measures should have Intro_date, Offer_date and End_date and dates should be loaded in them. This can be achieved using rules files but we want to do it using studio because there are other studio features which we want to use.
Kindly advice.

Kindly advice if this is possible ? all my data sources are in this format.

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

Then in the Essbase properties, you would specify to use an expernal source and give it the proper column name. Same thing for the skip values, variance reporting, consolidation, etc.

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
(or)
How to clear the deployment history for a Cube Schema Model.Thanks in Advance

increasing the memory have a read of section "Configuring Virtual Memory" - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_user.pdf
