Getting descendants of essbase member

Hi everyone,
I am implementing an OBIEE analysis with an Essbase cube as database source. I need to get all descendants of an Essbase member.
For example , I need to get all descendants of the member "15335" that have 3 descendants in my Essbase outline. How can I manage to do this ?
I've tried using EVALUATE function but it returns
Codes d'erreur : OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Etat : HY000. Code : 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] Une erreur générale s'est produite. [nQSError: 12010] Communication error connecting to remote end point: address = Servername ; port = 7703. (HY000)
where Servername is of course my servername
Is there another easy way ?
An idea ?
Thanks

Correct ODBC.ini, so that the correct port is specified under the [AnalyticsWeb] section.
default port is 9703, if you changed to 7703 then need to change at DSN

How to set Essbase member alias as level label for hierarchy

Experts,
* I have imported my Essbase cube metadata and see my Essbase Member Aliases as Dimension Properties in the physical layer.
* when I view members of the levels in the physical layer I see them - as I expect - represented by the human readable alias names of the members.
* now drag&drop of the model into BMM layer - I notice the aliases (Dimension Properties in physical layer) are here represented as any other Logical Columns.
* drag&drop into the Presentation Layer and I can build my reports
Problem: in reports my hierarchies display using keys (from Essbase outline) and NOT the member aliases as would make sense.
When I drop the alias column next to the hierarchy column on the report, it does display the alias of the member in the current line - but how can I switch the hierarchy display itself to the alias???
thanks

1. When you post code, post a minimal example. Did we have to scroll through
all those bloody labels.
2. Can't say much for the quality of code NetBeans generates.
3. To answer your question (sorry, I don't have an autographed copy of the photo):
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        final JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container cp = f.getContentPane();
        cp.setBackground(new Color(0xff, 0xff, 0xee));
        cp.add(new JLabel("set the color on the content pane, not the frame"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        URL url = new URL("http://today.java.net/jag/bio/JagHeadshot-small.jpg");
        cp.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(url)));
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);

FDM fails to find valid Essbase member?

Currently using FDM 11.1.2.1 with adaptor into Essbase BSO cube. All mapping works fine except for one particular Essbase member - it is valid in the outline, but when browsing in FDM to add the mapping- the member account does not show up. I tried deleting the account ( it's a test cube - so I didn't really care about any data corruption) and re-adding it - FDM still can not find this account? Any one have any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

1. Is the account a base member? If not have you set the "Browse for all members" flag on the adaptor settings?
2. Are you using the FDM dimension Cache? If so you would need to run the update script.

Level 0 descendants of UDA member

Hi,
I want to fix on all the level 0 descendants of a member with the UDA "A". The problem is that I have multiple members with that UDA, so @RELATIVE won't work.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Adina

Ok so you have had the answer....twice now!
I think we're assuming these 4 members are at the same level, all with the same UDA 'A'.
Therefore nothing, apart from member names, nothing distinguishes one from the other. So in order to achieve the result you're looking for, you are forced to add a further UDA to the member upon which you wish to apply that action.
Add a UDA to indicate the @RELATIVE function will apply to it and you have the functionality you're asking for.

How to load Essbase member formula into DRM using Automator

Hi,
I just wonder how to load Essbase member formula into a member property in DRM?
I encounter a problem when loading a member formula which as new line in the formula.
Here is the example of the record for Automator using | (pipe) delimiter where the formula has carriage return / new line:
ChangeProp|Master|Accounts|CYTDSignOnBonus|ESB_Formula|[OpenInputValueBlock]
[CYTD("Sign On Bonus")]
[CloseInputValueBlock]
In the above example. when the formula is loaded, it only load the 1st line and strip the remaining line.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have encountered this issue as well and here is how I receommend you deal with it. Unfortunately, DRM does not understand multiple lines in a formula and so it truncates the other lines.
1. The best way around it is to ensure that your formula does not have multiple lines. Strip all the enters and only use spaces. Essbase does not care about aesthetics as long as the formula is all in one line. This should take care of it.
2. Sometimes, the formulas for member properties are very long and they are in multiple lines. You can try using excel formulas to bring them all in one line. After removing enters and tabs myself multiple times, I informed my Essbase developers of this DRM issue and told them to provide me with the formulas without using Enters and tabs.
Hope this helps.

Annualizing a essbase member in a formula

How does one annualize a single essbase member in a formula?ie make a member StockDays that has a formula of 2 other members of which one is annualized to express it in terms of a year: StockDays = "member_n" * 12 / 8 (if it is August now YTD= 8 months);The problem is: what can I do to make the 8 or number of months in the formula generic.Maybe it is not done in a formula?Thanks!

I did this once using xref.I created a second database with the months in one dimension, and the month.number in another ... I had to do several combinations month.number, month.number-1, month.number+1 etc. I just referenced the appropriate measure from my calc script in the main database using xref and this worked well in my case.Hope this helps.

Essbase member modifications not reflecting in OBIEE after a refresh

Hi ,
I am getting the following message in my developed reports , after changing certain member names (adding / removing members also) of ENTITY dimension in essbase .
[nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Unknown Member Total India Entity 1 used in query (HY000)
After selecting the renamed members only the report is working , i.e from specified ENTITY report filters I had to select , Total India (old name : Total India Entity 1) .
Reload server metadata or refresh is not helping ... Is there any setup , which will directly reflect these changes in dashboard without repeatedly selecting new members in analysis .
OBIEE version : 11.1.1.6
Essbase version : 11.1.2.1
Thanks
Sayak

Hi ,
thanks for responding .
Just to clarify my question :
I have a dimension named ENTITY , it has several generation under it (gen1,gen2,gen3 etc .) .
for example , gen1 has member total region and no region .
gen2 has UK and US region .
gen 3 has manchester , london , new york , manhatton .
In the report i'm using ENTITY .gen3 = manchester , london , new york , manhatton ..... this filter.
Now , I am renaming (changing) gen 3 members like liverpool , birmigham , california , washington .
So , after refreshing dashboard , will these member names automatically gets refreshed or i have to again manullay select them ?

Not getting data from Essbase in Answers...

Hi there
Been somewhat mystified by this problem. We have several Essbases which we would like to use i OBIEE. The metadata is imported into a RPD and made available in Answers. When making a report and trying to run, it says that the query generated no results. Ive checked, double and triple checked that were I look for data, there actually is data. Ive been checking with Essbase and the data is there.
The funny thing is, that when I test on the Essbase DEMO database, and can see data fine, and drill about.
The only thing I can find is in the the logfile, where it gives me the following error. The error message below here is the one that makes the most sense...
"Failed to initialize SharedServices security instance. Component for SYSTEM9/FOUNDATION_SERVICES_PRODUCT/SHARED_SERVICES_PRODUCT is null in EPM System Registry. Check EPM System Registry configuration."

And a whole lot more...
But it gives me the same errors when drilling about in the DEMO database.
Can this be about some privileges on the Essbase server? We are using OBIEE 11.1.1.3 and Essbase 9.3.3.
Any ideas?

Jacob,
I think I have your answer.
The 11g Release only supports connectivity with Essbase 11.1.1.2 out of the box.
Clearly you need to pull over the correct Essbase client libraries for any other version of Essbase that is not 11.1.1.2 and put them in the appropriate location on your BI Server. In addition you are using Essbase System 9 which actually requires a patch to integrate into OBIEE 11g. If you haven't done on or more steps above then your integration with OBIEE 11g will have difficulties perhaps like what you are experiencing.
A wrote a post last month partially on this topic but you can see where its going from here, http://www.artofbi.com/index.php/2011/03/configure-obi-11g-for-essbase-metadata-import-integration-ootb/. I think a search on support.oracle.com will turn up the path for Essbase System 9 integration with OBIEE 11g but I believe you'll need a password (get from Oracle Support contact) to get it.
That's all I have for now. If this was helpful please throw some points my way. : )
Cheers,
Christian

How to use different essbase member combinations in columns in obiee

Hello,
I am trying to build a report in obiee which has an essbase ASO cube in the background. We have a measure 'A' that exists in BegBalance and a measure 'B' that exists in months Jan through Dec. So in my criteria, i set the dimensions i need along with "Periods - Default" and in the selection pane set the condition to keep only the months and begbalance. I also set the pivot so that the periods and the measures show up in columns.
When i run the report, in the columns for both measures, i get begbalance and the 12 months.
However, i only want measure A to show with begbalance and measure B to show with the 12 months. How can i accomplish this?]
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yeah, that is there. I have not copied that code in my post...
try {
            dataTable1Model.setObject(1,this.getSessionBean1().getTeamName());
            dataTable1Model.setObject(2, this.getSessionBean1().getFis_Year());
            dataTable1Model.execute();
        } catch (Exception x) {
            teamRowSet.close();Thanks

Data getting lost in essbase

We use a replicated partition to copy data from planning to essbase application. Partition works fine and data gets copied. We have another separate maxl script which does changes to the outline. This script exports the data from essbase, clears the database, updates the outline, reimports the exported data and does a cube build. Once this maxl completes, whatever data copied from planning is lost. But if I look at the export file, planning data exist in the export file. We know import process is working fine, because other data not loaded thru partition exist in essbase.. Only data loaded from planning gets lost..
Can someone help me on this issue?

Hi Mahe,
1. You maxl does the following things
exports data
clears data
updates the outline
reimports the data
2. After you reimport,Are you trying to retrive to confirm the data ?
3. After you reimport the data, check the properties of database ( check whether the new blocks have been loaded , and increased the count ).
4. Are you exporting all data , or only level 0 ?
5. If its only level 0, You need to aggregate or consolidate ( by running calculation script).
Hope this helps

How to get descending index definition ?

Let's say you create an ASCENDING index on the table "COMPANY", on the field "COMPANY_NAME". You name this index "INDEX_COMPANY_NAME".
Oracle creates a record in the USER_INDEXES table (referencing "INDEX_COMPANY_NAME" as an index of the "COMPANY" table), and another one in the USER_IND_COLUMNS table (referencing "NAME" as a field of the "INDEX_COMPANY_NAME" index). In this case of ascending index, it is easy to get the field names of the index.
If you creat now the same index as a DESCENDING one, USER_IND_COLUMNS table will not give "NAME" as a COLUMN_NAME of the "INDEX_COMPANY_NAME". You will get instead a "SYS..." value in USER_IND_COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME.
Finally, the question is : how can we get the list of the fields of a DESCENDING index ?

how can we get the list of the fields of a DESCENDING index ?USER_IND_EXPRESSIONS.

How do I get started using Essbase?

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Essbase, and Business Intelligence. I went to a training/demo in March but have just done my first install to try it out for myself. (I'm a Java developer by training.)
So, I've installed Hyperion EPM 11.1.1.1 on my Windows XP desktop. I installed Foundation Services, Essbase, Web Analysis, and Workspace with the intention of creating some drillable reports and/or graphs on some client that I recently used for OBIEE Dashboards.
Please help either with the below errors or any other resources that can get me started (examples, walkthroughs, blogs, etc.).
Thanks, Mark

Check to see if Essbase and EAS are services. If they are, are they started? You can also start them in foreground. For EAS, go to Start->programs->Hyperion->Adminstrative servives-> start server. It should start up a tomcat window.
Typically, you have to start Essbase once in foreground. (Go to start->Hyperion->Essbase->Essbase and click it. IT will want the company info, admin user id and password.
