Filter out member name

I would like to build a cube which allows hundreds of distributors with access to the cube. Each distributors only have access to own sales data. Using filter, I can block users of Distributor A from seeing sales data of Distributor B, but the users can still see the whole outline; therefore, they can see list of customers which belong to Distributor B. This happens when using member selection in both Hyperion Analyzer and Excel Add-in.I wonder if anyone know a way to restrict access to both data cell and member names that shows in member selection?Sam

I had the same issue with Analzyer Java Client. Our solution turned out to be devloping custom forms with only their selections tied in with another view group with the spreadsheets and graphs. Then by loading the html pages with Viewonly set to true. The user could not get access to the cube navigator i.e. everyone else's data memebers.Kyle R.

HELP! I can't filter out jsf-impl.jar

Every jar file can be filtered out of a deployment file EXCEPT jsf-impl.jar, Why?
JDeveloper (older) version of jsf-impl.jar is causing problem with a newer version in JBossAS 4.2.0.CR1 and consequently, throwing java.lang.ClassCastException error. I can filter out every other jar file but not jsf-impl.jar.
If I manually remove the jsf-impl.jar from my project /WEB-INF, JDeveloper complains about the missing jsf-impl.jar when I restart it. The other alternative is to manually delete the jsf-impl.jar from my *.war file every time I re-deploy it to JBossAS. This option is very tedious in production with frequent re-deployment.
Could someone suggest a more civilised approach to excluding jsf-impl.jar from my deployment file? I will also like to know why it is not possible to filter out jsf-impl.jar like other jars. Could this be a bug?
Thanks for your help

I have found the problem: For those who might be interested and in addition to the normal way filtering deployment files, you also need to uncheck the jsf-impl.jar as follows;
1 This is in the War Deployment Profile Property
2 Right click web project name
3 Click the ‘War Deployment Profile Property’ option
4 The ‘War Deployment Profile Property’ dialog open
5 Select File Group
6 Select Web Filter
7 Select Contribution
8 Select Filter
9 Select WEB-INF
10 Select lib
11 Uncheck jsf-imp.jar

Can we use Aliases instead of member name in Calc Manager

We migrated business rules to Calc Manager. After migration Calc Managers are not getting validated (stating the member is missing in the database). Later found out that in the script it has alias name instead of member name which was causing this error.
example
Member name = C001
Alias = Texas
in the script it is mentioned Texas = 5; (this statement throws an error while validating, stating Texas is not present in the outline, even though Texas is present in the Alias table as an alias for C001).
Once I modify the script to C001 = 5; it gets validated without any issue.
Does this mean in Calc Manager we cannot use Aliases unlike business rules and Calc Scripts?
Please advice.

The 'Defects Fixed' section of the release notes for 11.1.2 includes...
"Calculation scripts validate inconsistently in Essbase and Calculation Manager (8800397)."
...which is pretty broad!
Can you run the rules OK? If so, I'd just ignore the Calculation Manager validation message.

** Invaild Member Names when using @XREF **

To the Oracle Nation,
I am using the @XREF function to obtain data from one database to copy to another. an Example of my calc string is as follows:
Fix(Jan:Dec,Product,NY,Other) - where NY = Next Year Budget
"Sales" = @XREF(GetData,"Sales Wages",Soda,Entity,"NY working member",West);
When I run the calculation, the status shows that it has ran to success; however, no data is displayed when data is pulled from the target database. To throw a little twist into the mix, when I change "NY" to "NX" in my target database, it works just fine.
That being said, is NY, or any other name string, a restricted member name due to conflicts within Essbase. As side not, It also does not work with NNY or NNNY. We are at a lose on this one, and want to put this issue to rest.
Thank you.
Concerned Essbase Admin

To jump on Stuart's comment, I have had exactly this problem with XREF's.
In the bad old days (Planning 3.5.1, Essbase 6.5.x), I would actually force the creation of blocks in the target by assigning zeros and then clearing the values out to ensure that the calculation went through. Very painful and slow.
If block creation is in fact your issue, you should be able to use the SET CREATEONMISSINGBLK setting to create your blocks: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/calc/set_createnonmissingblk.htm
You might want to be careful, however, with how you use that setting and target very carefully what/where you are creating blocks as you might otherwise get way, way more blocks than you want.
I have not followed my own advice, wondered why my db was so big/slow, and then used SET MSG DETAIL to see all of the blocks roll in. Whoops. At least my numbers calculated. :)

Duplicate member Name in same dimension in a Cube

Hi,
Can someone please let me know whether we can have same member name in a dimension for building a cube?
For Example:
I have one dimension Dim1 (Hierarchy) ,
Level2     Level1     Leaf     Leaf Code
L13 -      L11 -      L1 -      10
L13 -      L11 -      L2 -      11
L13 -      L12 -      L3 -      12
L13 -     L12 -      L4 -      13
L14 -      L11 -      L5 -      14
In this hierarchy, L11 is a member name in Level1 used under L13 and L14. Does Essbase cube support this?
I have one more dimension(Dim2) with four values like ('A','L','O','S').
I want build a cabe using these two dimension and expose that cube in OBIEE. And in OBIEE answer, I want to put a filter on 'Dim2' that means it will be a list of ('A','L','O','S'). Based on this selection I want select another dimension like for 'A' what is the value for L11 and for 'L' what is the value for L11?
Can someone please put some light on this?
Regards,
SS

Yes this is possible. You will have to enable the option for outline to allow duplicate members.

How to increase member name length in essbase studio

Hi All,
Currently we have requirement to build a hierarchy which contains member having length more than 80 characters.
I seen somewhere where the member name limitation is 80.
Can someone help me out how to build the hierarchy with long member name
Thanks,
SatyaB

You would have a hard time containing your comments into a cube especially because they are so freeform. You said you are using Studio to create your cube. Create a drill through report that when users are at a selected intersection of data, the can execute a drill through report to get additional detail. For instance in addition to the comments column, there might be other information on the table they would want to see. You can select what columns get returned.
For example, I've jusr drill through in a GL cube to get back to the Journal Entries. It allowed the users to see all sorts of things, like all the JEs for a cost center, who created them, comments, currency conversion done fromn the source system, when they were posted, etc.
Because they are not in the cube, it makes the cube a lot cleaner.

Mobile me member name or password maybe invalid

i have mobile member name or password maybe invalid. But It is valid coz i am using it with my icloud access. PLease help

It shouldn't be. try this:
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password.
launch iWeb and try again.

OBIEE and Essbase - Displaying all member names together

Hi
I hope you can help.
When we import our Essbase cubes and add the alias tables and drag the cube to the BMM layer we get a column were we can search the alias for all the member in the hierarchy, independently of the generation (let's say Account - Default where Account is the dimension name and Default is the name of the alias table).
This is a very useful feature that I would like to extend to the member name but I cannot figure out how to do it. All I am getting in the BMM layer is a column per generation but not one for the whole hierarchy.
My question is: Is there any way of doing what I want and how could I implement it?
I am on OBIEE 11.1.6.10
Thank you very much for your help.
Juan

Hypercubes are cubes built for analytical purposes which you can pivot, rotate, slice-n-dice etc anyways you want and each intersection will bring back some value. That makes them super dense and perfectly suited for dashboarding purposes as well since any dynamic change of point-of-view, axis of analysis and the likes will always yield a result and you can better optimize things for performance.

MDX member names

When I run an MDX query it returns aliases...how can I return member names?
Thanks,
er

You’re not going to be happy with the way it looks.
SELECT{[Year]} ON AXIS(0),
{[Product].members} PROPERTIES [MEMBER_NAME] on AXIS(1)
FROM Sample.Basic
As Spofford points out in his book, “While the values of the properties requested with the PROPERTIES statement in an MDX query are returned, along with all other result information in the result data structures, it is up to the client application to retrieve and utilize this information.”
I haven’t been able to come up with a cleaner way to do it. MDX really isn’t a report language, its one step below a reporting language, so it has a number of limitations on how the data looks when you pull it and defers to the front end application pulling the data.

Renaming Existing Member Names

We are trying to do a long list of outline Member name changes (~200 changes) for Level 0 or Parent Level members and noticed the API function ESBOTLRENAMEMEMBER . It looks like this could be used by others and have seen several Threads in OTN talking about the function, but I haven't seen any posts pointing to a working Excel VBA to do a Find/Replace with this function. Can Anyone point to a working VBA code to do a find/ replace?
what I am trying to do is have a worksheet with a "Original Names" and a column with "New Names" and have the code to a loop through the list.
This sounds like a basic task that many folks could use. Does anyone have something similar that they have created?
Thanks ahead of time!
Robert

I was doing exactly this recently with a 9.3.1 ASO cube. The forum will screw up the formatting but you can probably work out what's going on. Note the ???? placeholder for the number of lines and placeholders for APPNAME etc. This is very basic and features no error trapping - it was for a one time deal in a development environment, not regular and / or production use.
Any use is entirely at your own risk.
Good luck!

Filtering on member names using a wildcard

Hello Olap World,We have an outline dimension based on a slow-varying dimension. Over time a member that exists under one parent may also need to exist under another. For example:WW EM CNTL HU AP CNTL HUIn order to have unique member names, I can suffix CNTL (for example) with its parent name - easy enough to do thru EIS.WW EM CNTL_EM HU_CNTL_EM AP CNTL_AP HU_CNTL_APWe also need to filter on these member names. Is there a way to use a wildcard in the filter so that I can build a read filter on all wildcard hits PLUS their descendents.I'd like to do @IDESC(@MATCH(WW,"CNTL*")) and pick up CNTL_EM and all its children and CNTL_AP and all its children. But alas, that syntax isn't supported (per my testing). Any ideas of how else to do this?Thanks!

No, but you can apply filters using a UDA ... maybe this would work for you.

Truncate member names in Finanial Reporting / Using Member Alias in HFR

Hello,
We have a financial Reporting where the Member names look like the following:
A_MemberName, P_MemberName, MemberName_C, etc.
We want to remove the '_' and the prefix such as A, P, C, etc.
Also, we want to remove the suffix '_C' where they occur.
How can we do this in Financial Reporting?
Turns out that the description/alias of the Member removes the prefix as the alias is: MemberName. However, the MemberAlias funciton is not working for some reason. Is it because the autocalculation is set? Either way, is there a way to do this in Financial Reporting? O
We allso want a generic way to make sure that the Alias shows and not the member name (auto-calculation is set to true). Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
-- Adi

As far as I know, there is no easy way to fix this issue on FR itself. I believe there was a similar post on the forums about a month ago. I think Iain recommended what I will recommend now. (Iain: Feel free to correct me)
Depending on your database connection, for example in an Essbase database, you can create an alternate alias table, which wouldn't have the prefix or suffix. FR lets you use different alias tables, so you could use this new alternate alias table instead of your current one.
Let me know it this doesn't make sense.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Cannot change from member name to alias description in Smartview

I am connected to an Essbase datasource using version 11.1.1.3 of Smartview and Excel 2007. I click on the Hyperion tab, the Options button on the ribbon, go to then the Display tab and all of the Member Name Display options window is greyed out. Member name only is selected by default but I cannot change it (because all options are greyed out). I haven't seen this before.
Note that I am NOT trying to display Member Name AND Alias, I am just trying to change my select from member name TO Alias and cannot (I only have one alias table: Default). I have added the Essbase datasource to my favorites as suggested on another post where numerous users are having the same issue and doesn't make any difference. There is another post regarding this issue that is listed as having a solution but that solution is not the solution to the problem described by everyone in that message thread.

Member Name Display Options will only be enabled if you connect to a database that has an outline containing duplicate members.
If your Essbase system permits the use of duplicate member names, you can choose whether to display member names with or without their descriptions or aliases.
To check if your Outline does allow duplicate members, follow these steps:
1. Open the outline in edit mode.
2. Go to the Properties tab.
3. Go to the"Duplicate member names allowed" node you will see a value of either true or false.
To see the descriptions in SmartView if you are using duplicate members, follow these steps:
1. Open Connection Manager.
2. Connect to your application.
3. Right click on the link of your application.
4. Choose "Change Alias table".
5. Choose the table e.g. "Default".
6. Click OK.

Invalid member name [H] -2147218908 during incremental refreshes

Hello,
We're running an incremental refresh in Planning Desktop (9.2.0.2) but it errors out with: Invalid member name [H] -2147218908
The Essbase log file mentions the same. Has anybody run in to this? I'm not sure where to look. Everything seems to be working fine.
Essbase 9.2.0.2 on AIX
Planning 9.2.0.2 on Windows 2003 R2

Running into the same error. Going to run a full refresh, and will let you know my results

FR report is splitting into pages with @IDescendants( Member Name )..

We are having FR report with a row as @IDescendants(<Member Name>)....expected output is all descendants should be in continous rows...but the pdf out put breaks rows after certain member and rest of the report starts from next page...what could be the reason...

Thanks Neeraj
We have already applied those setting but still issue there...atatching issue in image...its page break after a member and there are still more members that flows on next page..
