Getting Member Names in MaxL

I'm trying to find a way to get member names such as the Esscmd "Getmembers" does. Can someone please post an example. Thanks.

The following getDimentions() returns all members in XML format, it was just writen by myself yesterday :)public String getDimentions() throws EssException{ String xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"GBK\"?>\n"; String s; IEssCubeOutline outline = curCube.openOutline(); IEssIterator dims = outline.getDimensions(); xml = xml + "\n\n"; xml = xml + "<Dimensions>\n"; for (int i=0; i<dims.getCount(); i++) { IEssDimension dim = (IEssDimension)dims.getAt(i); s = getDimentions_helper(dim.getDimensionRootMember()); xml = xml + s; } xml = xml + "</Dimensions>"; return xml;}private String getDimentions_helper(IEssMember mbr) throws EssException{ String ret = ""; for (int i = 0; i < mbr.getGenerationNumber(); i++) ret = ret + "\t"; IEssIterator mbrs = mbr.getChildMembers(); if (mbrs.getCount()==0) { ret = ret + "<Member name=\"" + mbr.getName() + "\" gen=\""+String.valueOf(mbr.getGenerationNumber())+"\" />\n"; } else { ret = ret + "<Member name=\"" + mbr.getName() + "\" gen=\""+String.valueOf(mbr.getGenerationNumber())+"\">\n"; for (int i = 0; i < mbrs.getCount(); i++) { ret = ret + getDimentions_helper((IEssMember)mbrs.getAt(i)); } for (int i = 0; i < mbr.getGenerationNumber(); i++) ret = ret + "\t"; ret = ret + "</Member>\n"; } return ret;}

MaxL - Cardinality of Member Names

I prepared a text file to load a transparent partition via MaxL. The error I'm receiving is "cardinality of member names must match". I am very unsure about the meaning of this error. It seems to have to do with either the Mapped Target Area or the Mapped Globally syntax.
Mapped targetarea1 ("") to (''NoEmploymentType")
Mapped targetarea2 ("") to (''NoEmploymentType")
Mapped targetarea3 ("") to (''NoEmploymentType")
Mapped Globally ("Periodic") to ("")
Mapped Globally ("Whole") to ("");
Can anyone shed some light on this error?
Thank you

Hello,
The error message points to a mismatch in the number of elements you want to connect.
I am not sure if you are familiar with setting up partitions. In case you have less experience, start small and in the wizard. When this works reliable, start creating them with MaxL. And expand the section onto what is needed.

Philip Hulsebosch.

HT204053 I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

It's evident that you are using Snow Leopard or earlier (or very early Lion) since you have the now obsolete MobileMe preference pane.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

List of avaliable MDX properties / Always show member name instead of alias

Hi all,
does anyone know if there is a list of ALL available MDX properties which can be used in an MDX query with Essbase?
There is a very small list in the technical documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/mdx_properties.htm), however I know there are a lot more properties.
E.g. one property which is not documented is ANCESTOR_NAMES:
WITH MEMBER [Year].[dummy] AS '0', SOLVE_ORDER = 0
SELECT {[Year].[dummy]} on columns,
[Account].Members properties ANCESTOR_NAMES on rows
FROM [App.Db];
Anyone knows if there is such a list?
And another question:
The Query always brings up the alias of the members (e.g. [Account].Members). Is there a way that per default the member name instead of the alias is used? Without using the MEMBER_NAME property?
Essbase version: 11.1.1.3
Thanks

However, e.g. the porperty PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME does not work. Also the Book MDX solutions has a list with it with e.g. PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME specified which does not work...
Anyone an idea how to get a list of all properties valid with MDX using Essbase?

I have not looked closely, but C1 is showing as "Missing Value". Have you checked to see if [None] is a valid member for the account you have selected (TotalLiabilities)?

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.

How to truncate the last 4 characters of a member name?

Hi, I've got a few accounts with names ending with the 4 characters:".FCT" The accounts names are of different length like PL20100.FCT andMK110.FCT I'm trying to create a rule like PL20100.FCT = PL20100 I've tried to FIX on the accounts without the ".FCT"and to concatenate to get the ".FCT" but it's not allowedto concatenate a member name used on the left hand side. Any suggestion to do this in a smart way would be greatlyappreciated.

Try wrapping in a calc block "PL20100"( @MEMBER(@CONCATENATE(@NAME("PL20100"), ".FCT")) = "PL20100"; ) You might have to play with this a little, but the idea should work.

How do I change MobileMe/iWeb member name?

We registered the iWeb account on my computer in my husband's name because we thought we would use it for family purposes only. Recently, I have realized that I could better use this account for my work. Is there a way for me to change my MobileMe/iWeb member name? I can change account details through System Preferences/.mac, but I am not finding a way to change the member name. I want to change it so the URL will be web.mac.com/myname instead of web.mac.com/hisname. Can I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Technically speaking, using the MobileMe for commercial sites is against the TOU although we've not heard of any sites getting bumped for it. But commercial servers will be faster and more stable since they don't have to facilitate all of the bells and whistles of the MobileMe accounts.
You can purchase a domain name from one of the providers (GoDaddy.com is one many recommend for names and hosting) and have domain name forwarding activated from your actual site URL (http://web.ME.com/MobileMeAccount_name/your_work_sitename/index.html) to the domain name, www.yourspecialname.com.

** 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. :)

How to extract Member Names in MDX script?

I have a MDX script that by default gives me member aliases. How can I change it so it'd give me member names? I know I can use something like that:
NON EMPTY [Employee].Levels(0).Members DIMENSION PROPERTIES [Employee].[Member_Name]ON AXIS(4)
but then it gives me member aliases AND member names, and I need the names only.
Thanks!

The syntax you have is the way to get the member names, but as I said you wouldn't like the way it is displayed. MDX is not a reporting language and so it does not have the nice formatted selections. You will get both alias and member name by using the properties. you could run the output through some sort of parser (Perl perhaps) to get the format you want

Network Error []: Cannot Get Host Name when running business rules

Guru's
We are getting the following error intermittently when we are running business rules (Planning Application >>Tools>>Business Rules) or running SmartView refreshes:
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name
The following is then logged in the Essbase Application logs:
Local/Application/Database/admin@Native Directory/Error(1042022)
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name.
A quick look at the Essbase Error Messages Doc says it is a network error and we have to consult the network documentation. Unfortunately this is not very descriptive so we logged an SR with Oracle but we don't seem to be getting a resolution.
The environment is 11.1.2.0 and the architecture is as follows:
Server 1 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Planning, Calc Manager, Foundation Services, Framework Web Services, EAS, APS, Web Analysis, FR Web Services
Server 2 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Essbase Server
Server 3 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Framework Services, FR Print Services
We have tried doing the following:
1. Put in the server host names into the hosts file on the Hyperion Servers
2. Applied the following TCP/IP settings on all the Hyperion Servers and one of the user machines as a test:
      - Added a new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay and set it to 30.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort and set it to 65534.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs and set it to 6250
3. Confirmed that there are no packet drops by monitoring the server NICs so no packet loss could be the cause of this issue
4. The Essbase Config file has the following settings:
NETDELAY 2000
NETRETRYCOUNT 2500
Has anyone come across this issue and if you managed to resolve it, how did you go about it.
Thanx

Hi Rahul
The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
Thanks

Run Time Prompt - showing alias instead of member name

We have a Capex Planning application that uses right-click menus to launch business rules with Run Time Prompts. We are using Planning 11.1.2.1. Even we the alias table set, when opening the RTP it pulls in the member name rather than alias.
There is an Oracle KB article (Show the Alias name in the Business Rule Run-Time Prompt [ID 857832.1]) that has this solution:
Take the following steps to add the alias name to the run-time prompt along with the member name.
1. Log in to planning web.
2. Navigated to File >> Preferences >> Application settings.
3. Select Show Alias in Member Selection and change the option from no to yes.
4. Save it.
But in 11.1.2.1, there is not option for "Show Alias in Member Selection" under Planning Preferences.
We have an SR open, but figured maybe someone else has run into this issue as well.
Does anyone know how to get the aliases to show on a Run Time Prompt rule in 11.1.2.1?
Thanks for your help!!

Deleting and rebuilding the dimension in the outline will enable you to build the members in the order you may desire if the file is in a given order.

BIEE 10.1.3.3.2 do not show dimension member name

after importing essbase outline, the decentdant name only show in the format (Gen n, Dimension_name), but not the real member name.
e.g. when using the Demo.Basic database in the Essbase installation, the next generation of Market dimension show in BIEE as Gen2,Market, but the member name is really East or West in the outline.
