Essbase XMLA - MDSCHEMA_HIERARCHIES Rowset - DIMENSION_TYPE issue

Hi All,
I m using XMLA interface of essbase 11.1.2.
As specified in aps docs essbase supports 3 dimension types .
TIME: MD_DIMTYPE_TIME
ACCOUNTS: MD_DIMTYPE_MEASSURE
ALL OTHER: MD_DIMTYPE_OTHER
While querying MDSCHEMA_HIERARCHIES Rowset ,
in the result xml dimention type value for
Time hierarchy is 1 and for all other hierarchies it is 3 .
It must be diffrent for Accounts(Measures) type.
Is it a bug in Essbase ?
Is there any other way to identify the Measure hierarchy ?

Essbase 11.1.2 Connectivity issue

I successfully completed the installation of EPM 11.1.2 in a distributed environment:
Server A: Foundation Services, Reporting and Analysis, Workspace.
Server B: Essbase Server and Essbase Studio Server
I added the external MSAD authentication directory in Shared Services.
I am able to login to EAS using either the Admin user or my AD user account. I added the Essbase Server but I am not able to expand or create any new application. I have Admin privileges. I am getting an error message stating that the user does not exist.
Also, I am not able to see the Essbase server listed under Application Groups in SS.
Please help!!!!! Am I missing any steps???? Essbase is running. I restarted all the services but it is still not working...
Thank you!

I was able to solve the issue.
I followed another thread with similar issues. I initially set up user directories before installing Essbase which seems to be the cause of the issue. As it was a clean installation I was able to deleted the user groups, un-install Essbase/install Essbase, set up user directories again and I was able to connect!

Essbase 6.5 External Authentication Issue!! Urgent Please!!

Hi all,
I am great trouble over an external authentication issue in Essbase 6.5. I request you all to please give me your feedback on the same as soon as possible.
I am in a situation where I need to get my Essbase 6.5 external Authentication converted from LDAP to Active Directory services.
I suppose there has been necessary changes done to the .cfg file for the same. However, I think I am getting an error
"User [vikc]'c external authentication protocol [MSEX]'s password check module is not loaded".
Please let me know if you have come across such an issue earlier and can anybody to able to help me with the same.
Its kinda Urgent. so any replies for the same will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Vikram

Vikram,
Yes you will have to reconfigure the CSS.xml and cfg file for external auth.
Here is the Sample CSS
<spi>
          <provider>

Essbase 11.1.3 Perormance Issue on windows 2003 64bit

When I run a calculation script on the essbase 11.1.3 which installed on windows 2003 64bit, it takes me 100 seconds to finish it. But when I run the same calculation script with the same data, same database OTL and same database configuration on essbase 9.3.1 which installed on window 2003 32 bit, it only takes me 50 seconds to finish it. It means essbase 11.1.3 have some Perormance Issue on windows 2003 64bit? or can anybody help me to make the essbase 11.1.3 intalled on windows 2003 64bit as fast as the essbase 9.3.1 installed on window 2003 32 bit?

If you set all of the configurations the same as your 32-bit server, you may not be properly optimized. There are a couple of ODTUG Kaleidoscope presentations that talk about 64-bit optimization:
http://www.odtug.com/apex/f?p=500:565:2342367037265046:pg_R_751386216307798846:NO&pg_min_row=11&pg_max_rows=10&pg_rows_fetched=10

You have to be at least a (free) Associate Member of ODTUG to download these presentations but, if you are serious about Essbase, you should be a (full) ODTUG member anyway.

Essbase Q1 Year Tot rollup issue

Hello Everyone, I'm a Essbase newbie, just came back from the Oracle Essbase Bootcamp and already stuck on something (very simple) I presume.... I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
The only way i can explain this issue is that my Lev0 members are rolled up correctly but any higher members are not. ie, Units and List price is aggregated correctly on a quarterly level but my Gross Sales figures are being calculated in a strange way rather than just rolling up the figures of the months.
Here is a output from smartview to explain it:

If you look at my Q1 data for Gross Sales data rather then being aggregated from the monthly figures, it is worked out by multiplying the Units and List price on the Q1 level. (ie. 524*600 and not by adding up the Jan, Feb March gross Sales figures(31600, 47600, 25600). Is there something I have missed, I;m using the Oracle Study guides and following the instructions to the letter, and in the Study guide the Q1 figures are shown to be added up correctly.
Thanks
Moss

Hi Sam, no Two pass is turned off... please have a look at the following to show how gross sales is being worked out:

Essbase 11.1.2 configuration issues.

HI
We are trying to install and configure EPM 11.1.2 on RHEL5 LINUX. The installation of foundation services and essbase went great on the server. When we try to configure we see the below errors
Hyperion foundation is greyed out even though this is a first time install. When we click on that and hit next the
"Connect to a previously configured database" is pre populated and does not let us select the first time install. Consequently we enter the db connection details and it fails with the message" DB does not contain the shared service info....."
Any idea what we are missing in this configuration step ? We uninstallaed and reinstallaed essbase a couple of times to be sure but still no luck !
Thanks in advance

This is from the installation documentation
"Oracle Database Creation Considerations
The database *must* be created using Unicode Transformation Format UTF-8 encoding (character set). Oracle supports the following character sets with UTF-8 encoding:
AL32UTF8 (UTF-8 encoding for ASCII platforms)
UTF8 (backward-compatible encoding for Oracle)
UTFE (UTF-8 encoding for EBCDIC platforms)"
You should be able to start essbase from a windows service, it will "Oracle Process Manager (EPM_epmsystem1)"
It is worth checking the logs if there are problems.
Cheers

Essbase 7.1 Block Storage Issues

Hi,I created a cube(bolck storage mode) on aix Olap server 7.1 and loaded 13 million records from SQL server. when I start default calculation, it consumes all the disk space on the server. In aggregate storage the cube takes around 500MB, when as in calculation (Block storage) i t consumed around 30GB space and server ran out of the space, Can anybody know the reason for it. If there is no change in sparse or dense dimension, why the data file and index file should be restructured?This is really worrying me, how I can suggest my client to go for block storage configuration with Essbase 7.1.Thanks,BK Sinha

What you describe can be normal. There is a lot more tuning and optimization needed for a BSO cube than a block storage cube. That is where real consultants step in and make things work. I have a BSO cube that takes about 20 gig of space in ASO it only takes 500 meg.

Essbase Load Rules File Header Issue

Hi,
Is it possible to specify more than one member for the same dimension in the Load Rules file Header?
Example: I need to load the same data in all the remaining months in current year.
I tried using a substitution variable in the header which is defined as Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec.
It loaded randomly. For each account, only one month is loaded.
It loads only as many data points as in the data file regardless of the number of members from the same dimension specified in the Header definition.
Any suggestions to correct this.
Using a Calc script to do a data copy cannot be used because of other process limitations.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Ethan.

Randomly? That's really interesting. But yeah, I wouldn't expect that to work.
I have a hard time thinking of a really good option that will handle an variable number of periods and is driven by a single subvar.
Run the load multiple times, cycling through the subvar settings? Or (faster, if Period is dense) create one load rule for each period, with the data column copied multiple times using field manipulation and the future Periods assigned to each column (rather than using a 'Data' field) and run only the rule you need? That option doesn't use a subvar at all, but still requires conditional logic in the process.
Alternatively, do the transformation in your source extract / parse the file. This is really the 'best' option but I appreciate there are sometimes constraints on changing upstream processes.

Issue in connecting to Essbase from excel add-in. 9.3.1

Hi Experts,
User has 2 servers, eg. a and b,
he is able to connect a and b through laptop - no issues,
but from desktop, he is able to connect only to a and not to be.
Other users from their desktop are able to connect to a and b using the same userid , password
Observations/suggestions ;
- Checked that 1423 port is being displayed for server a but not for b on his machine.
- NetDelay and NetRetry counts are 1000 and 1500 respectively.
- Suggested the customer to add
AGENTPORT 1423
SERVERPORTBEGIN 32768
SERVERPORTEND 32968
PORTINC 1
in essbase.cfg file - but still issue persists.
the issue is machine specific.
Its urgent. Please suggest/advise.

There is no help here for issues with VirtualBox.
You need to direct all your inquiries related to installation, configuration, and usage of client environments you might install into it at the web site where you found the VirtualBox software.
You were directed there in your OTN thread from three days earlier:
EBS installation on Virtual machine node
so you need to go back there for assistance.

Essbase 11.1.2.1 Configuration Issue

Hi ,
I am using windows xp 32 bit processor and installed Essbase 11.1.2.1 successfully.
Configured with one Oracle 11g data base user/Schema working fine and also tried to configure with Two Users/Schemas
in another system workig fine.I heard that if we configure only with one schema Essbase components and Shared
services will conflict.so I would like to know with how many users we have to configure only Hyperion Essbase to get
Better Performance.
Regards
Sekhar.

Hi John,
Then shall i proceed with one user/schema ?
If i proceed with two users/schema is there any problem will come or not ?
Is there any order to configure with one schema ?
like all Foundation components first after Essbase components.
Number of schema/users consideration is not an issue to me but i need best configured
Essbase Server without facing configuration issues in Future.
I had doubt on it may expect clarification ?
Regards
Sekhar

Essbase / EPM Configurator Install Issue

Hello guys,
I've installed EPM and later Essbase correctly on an Windows Server 2003 32 bits.
The problem is when I've tried to configure EPM Configurator... when I've had only EPM installed there it worked fine, but after Essbase install there is an issue: Unexpected error has occured.
In the log file configtool.log appears:

Could anybody please help me?

George ,
There are 3 steps
1. configure database
2. register with shared services
3. deply to app server
admi , password should work in the next window
next , you select the database of DB2 , SQL server or oracle
I think, you pay more attention in providing correct database configuration details .
Check the port number ,re check the database name and the user name ,and whether this user has required prevelages
Then also check whether the TCP/IP protocol is enabled
Hope this helps.

- Checked openLDAP & my Database is running - YES
- Added following to Configuration File :
SharedServicesLocation machinex 28080
AUTHENTICATIONMODULE CSS http://machinex:28080/interop/framework/getCSSConfigFile YES, but same error
- Changed essbase.bak to essbase.sec YES but same error
- netstat -an to check for 1423. Port 1423 is not listening, although ALL TCP Ports have been enabled. So YES but same error.
- Read Knowledgebase article # 954322.1 - the suggested things in there don't seem to apply to my case, unless I am missing something.
At this point does anybody have any suggestions ?

An update: Just for kicks, I tried restarting Essbase using Start->Programs-EPMSystem->Essbase->EssbaseServer->Essbase.bat and apparently now Essbase is started.
EAS, Studio and Planning however are down.
Excerpt from the HyS9eas-sysout.log:

Stopping DAO factory!
HBR Configuration has not been initialized. Make sure you have logged in sucessfully and there are no exceptions in the HBR log file.
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
.... bunch of java code.
This is really strange. There is NOTHING that I changed, started or stopped which could have caused Essbase to start magically all of a sudden.
Any insights into the cause of all this ?

Filter Issue in 9.3.1

Hi All,
We are using 9.3.1 essbase. We have some issues with Filter.
We have configured shared services.
Can we assign multiple filters to a single user without using MAXL.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Appreciate if you could guide us further. The Steps we would follow are-
1. Create users with provisioning in shared services
2. Create a group say x and do the provisioning for the group.

Essbase 11.1.2.2 is not coming up.

Hi Team,
I am trying to bring up essbase but its not coming up in 11.1.2.2. I am attaching the log of the starter and I see some errors like " [starter] oracle.as.management.opmn.optic.OpticBadConnectException: Error connecting to OPMN at host localhost and port 6721(is it running?): Connection refused "
Essbase was running without any issues earlier.
I am using startEssbase.sh to start essbase.
I am seeing the below log in the starter_Mon_Feb_18_15_39_53_CST_2013.log

======================

In V11.1.2.2 ESSBASE is managed by OPMN. OPMN needs to be started before starting ESSBASE. You need to use "start.sh". Please do the following
1) Run "stop.sh" that is in the starter scripts folder - This will stop all Oracle EPM components that are installed on the box
2) Run "start.sh" - this will start OPMN, ESSBASE and all other installed components
The "startEssbase.sh" and "stopEssbase.sh" can be used to start or stop ESSBASE only when OPMN is already running.

Essbase cube level order

Hi All,
I am using Essbase XMLA interface .
As levels are ordered from lowest to highest starting from the root level. Essbase orders them in the reverse direction—level 0 is the leaf level, and level 1 is the parent of the leaf level.
Is there any way to get the level in normal order - level o parent and level 1 as child ?

Incidentally we had been trying to use Essbase studio as an option.But there are 2 oints that we are trying to investigate.
1) Can we bypass deployment of data and metadata everytime through Essbase studio after the initial outline is delpoyed? In the system architecture the relational tables are populated using ODI. We would like to load the data and metadata through ODI into the cube. Eeven then can we implement drill thru bypassing deployment through Essbase Studio?
2) If Essbase studio is imperative for drill through then what are the batch automation options for deployment through Essbase studio? Ideally the option should be after the relational tables are populated through ODI then the Essbase deployment should be invoked and batch script should load the data and metadata through Essbase Studio.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Anirban
