Horizontal Federation with Essbase

Hi,
I want to have a report in Answers that has essbase data alongside data from another SQL source. I went through the Oracle by example guide on how to do this (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/fed_data/fed_data.html), however, when I try to put the two side by side on a report I am running into some issues. First, I tried to put a salary figure for a manager from sql next to budget data for the same manager from essbase.
issue 1 - I made the salary aggregation 'sum' and no data showed up when I opened the report in answers.
issue 2 - I made the salary aggregation ' none' and data showed up when I ran a report for manager - salary, which is great. However, when I try to do manager - salary - budget, I get an error that says 'Unable to navigate requested expression: Market.Gen2,Market. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings.'. Now the schema should be looking at Market.Sales Manager, I am not sure why it is referencing the Market.Gen2,Market.
Could this be an issue with the Budget aggregation being sum and the salary measure being 'none'? However, I would like the salary to aggregate as a sum so why was I not getting data the first time through? I literally followed the OBE step by step, using a different cube with extremely similar dimensionality.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks,
DQ

You seem to be hitting several different issues here.
First of all, I would go and check your BMM layer and how it maps to the physical representation of the cube. "Market.Gen2,Market" is a physical cube column and a dimensional level in a standard cube import whereas in your case it looks like it was renamed to "Market.Sales Manager" in the BMM layer (assumption from my side based on what you write here).
Are your LTS set up correctly between the SQL data source and the cube in this area? I.e. do you have the respective matching column mappings for the market dimension?
As for the aggregations. I'm not a fan of that specific OBE since it mixes aggregation rules for Essbase sources between the BMM and physical layer. The "why" is nicely summed up in this post from Venkat: http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/oracle-bi-ee-10134-and-essbase-connectivity-understanding-aggregations-part-4/
Physical Layer: Aggr_External and BMM: SUM
1. If a report requests data that exists directly in Essbase, then the MDX generated would go only against those intersections.
2. If a report requests data that does not exist directly in Essbase, then the MDX fired would be pushed against the Essbase layer.
The major difference in this scenario and the one above is >the fact that Aggregation is the fact that the aggregation in this case
is done using the SUM function. So, this would generate wrong results if the outline contains Time Based properties like
TBAverage, TBLast etc. This sometimes can vary based on the outlines.
3. This supports relational calculation like concatenation etc. But the aggregation would happen only at the BI Server layer. The
MDX fired would go against all the level-0 intersections. So, >this is generally not recommended. Also, the numbers produced
might be wrong if you have lots of Label Only or Time Based properties in your outline.I'd go for SUM on both layers. Note that this will force a SUM of the cube though (no surprise) and depending on how and what your account members are calculating in the outline, this will also yield wrong numbers.
Best advice is anyways to use federated data sources (SQL + MDX) only in specifically defined cases. Don't try to extend your cube outline with relational attributes and expect them to work across all measure dimensions in the same way. (I.e. don't assume that every account and/or scenario intersection will yield the correct value).

Horizontal Federation of relational and Essbase source in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have created physical, business model and presentation layer for Essbase and relational sources. Works OK.
Now I need to create business model which is horizontal federation of these both sources. I need to have measures from Essbase and relational sources in one logical table.
Let's say that relational source has physical table MyFacts with columns MyValues NUMBER (measure) and D_Product_ID NUMBER(relation to dimension) and table D_PRODUCT with columns ID NUMBER, NAME VARCHAR2
Essbase cube has measure EbValues with dimension EbDimProduct
After import I've converted measure dimension into flat measures.
What requirements are for building hybrid federation?
How Essbase/relational dimensions should be built. How to create logical table with measures MyValues and EbValues? Should I build relations between relational and essbase tables in Physical layer?
Any link to example of horizontal federation will be appreciated :)

Oracle Table Values are not displayed when tried to display with Essbase

Hi,
I was trying to create a report with Oracle RDB Table and Essbase by following the steps given in "Federating Essbase and Relational Data Sources in Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Plus" document at the location http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/fed_data/fed_data.html.
I am able to see the members from the Essbase cubes and I can also see the Oracle Table values, if they are displayed individually (i.e. different reports) but when I try to get one report with Essbase values with Oracle table records then Oracle table records are not displayed and when see the query log I don't see the query for Oracle table but I see obviously MDX queries for the essbase.
Please help.

Hi,
Smitha, you can defnetly use dynamic table in interactive form. I had similar problem and I acheived like follwing:Basically you have to bind the table .
If you want to have fixed number of rows in the interactive form, then in wddoinit method bind the internal table to ur table node. for exmaple: if u want 2 rows in the form loop times . So by default when you open the form you will get two rows for the table.
**************BIND THE ITAB ****************************
DO 2 TIMES.
APPEND LW_LFBK TO LT_LFBK.
CLEAR LW_LFBK.
ENDDO.
CALL METHOD lo_nd_t_lfbk->bind_table
EXPORTING
new_items = LT_LFBK.
If you want to have dynmic table then take a submit button in the form instead of normal button,
in onaction submit write a loop every time you click that new submit button it should add a new row.
use above coding in onactionsubmit instead of doinit.
Thats it.

Sum Aggregation Error in Physical & BMM Layer in OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11

Hi everyone,
I'm using OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11 as the data source. I'm using Sample Basic database from the Essbase as my data source. If I'm using the hierarchy for the measures (so I don't flatten the measures), and when I changed the aggregation in both physical and BMM layer from Aggregate_External to Sum, I can't create a report at all from the Answers.
Does anyone encounter the same thing? Any ideas/solution about this? Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Deepak,
When I picked the "Basic - measure" alone, I got this error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Unknown Member Basic - measure used in query (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "Sample Basic"."Basic"."Basic - measure" s_1 FROM "Sample Basic".
When I picked the "Gen1,Measures" alone from the measure dimension, I got this error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

But when I queried the dimensions one by one (only single dimension each), no error was shown.
This only happens if I use Sum in the physical and BMM layer. If I use External_Aggregation, these errors do not happen. And if I flatten the measures, these errors also do not happen.

Horizontal streaks (with new HP Envy 4500)

Purchased new HP 4500 Envy (Cwhich wouldn't print black at all with catridges provided).
Bought new replacement black cartridge. I now get black with horizontal streaks. [Note it's rubbish for cartridge in box didn't work].
I have tried all the various test pages, realigning print heads, upping the paper quality, switching on and off, taking out and reinserting cardridges, etc and have reviewed this page in detail [ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03748920&lc=en&product=5304877&tmp...
I still continue to get horizontal streaks with black text where I seem to be missing about one line in every 3 or 4.
I have checked printer settings (everyday printing should be fine, but isn't)
Ink levels are fine - new. [Mind you they were fine/full in the cartridge that came with printer too, but that didn't work at all]
Print Qual Diag report - this looks ok - no streaks to be seen.
PRint alignments - looks okish, but I get message saying alignment failed every time. [Now used papges and pages of paper and lots of ink doing this.... No progress, and repeating yet again doesn't seem to change outcome here, so giving this up - very wasteful and doesn't solve problem]
Clean print head - most black text appears, but a few lines missing or half missing. [Ditto re repeating this doesn't seem to help resolve]
I am now at end of step 4. This says if my problems are solved I can stop trouble shooting.
IT DOES NOT, HOWEVER, SUGGEST WHAT TO DO IF MY PROBLEMS ARE NOT SOLVED.
When I print ordinary documents - we MS word, emails, or from web again I am missing some lines or parts of lines (where tops or bottoms of letters have been sliced off). This is poor.
I HAVE NOW WASTED MANY HOURS, LOTS OF PAPER AND LOTS OF INK.
PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. PLEASE CAN YOU FIX IT?
MY HEART NOT FULL OF JOY ABOUT HAVING THIS HASSLE EVERY TIME A NEW CARTRIDGE IS FIXED INTO PRINTER.

Hello jules878,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
Sorry to hear that you are having issues when attempting to print in black ink. I see that you have gone and went through the one document on Fixing Ink Streak. That document may not be the one that is geared entirely to the issue at hand.
I suggest that you first make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Having the power cable in a power bar/strip can cause issues with the display being dim or paper feed issues as well as issues with the Ink Delivery System.
Here is another document that I believe is more geared to the issue that you are experiencing. Please click the following link for when the Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages. Some steps will be the same but you will quickly see that the document does cover alternative measures.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Problem with Essbase add-in 9.2.1 and office 2010.

Hi all,
we have a problem with Essbase add in 9.2.1 and office 2010.
Every time when a user opens Excel a new (additionally) euntry in the ad-on menue appears.
Indeed what happens is, that the add-in is loaded n-times.
At the first start of excel one time, second two times and so on...
Thtas's very annoying.
Can someone confirm this issue or even better know a workaround.
(A way we have found so far to ease the pain a bit -well only temporary- is to disable the ad-in, close Excel and start it again.
However with every new start of execel the issues begins again.
But that's not a solution you can recommand to the end user.)
Any help is welcome.
Thank you in advance!
Andre

Have a read of the following on Oracle Support - Support for Office 2010 in Essbase Excel Add-In and Smart View [ID 1191235.1]

Horizontal scrolling with mousewheel

I was wondering if anyone knew how to create horizontal scrolling with the mousewheel in Adobe Muse.
So that instead of the page moving up/down when the mousewheel is used, it moves left to right so that the user dosen't have to manually scroll.
Is there any HTML I can insert that will allow me to do this?

I bought a Logitech Optical Mouse which works fine on my iMac even if it was intended to be used with a PC.

Horizontal Slider with dates

Hi All,
I wanted a horizontal slider with dates .
Can anybody help please.
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks, now I am getting some where. I have found the "ActSlider" and the "KeyFocus" property. I have discovered how the "Key Focus" property works, if you use the tab key to cycle thru all of the stuff on your front panel, it will eventually come into focus and the "Key Focus" property will go true. Unfortunately the operation of the horizontal slider control if done with the mouse, so using that property will not help me.
The help for the "Active Slider" says that it shows which slider/needle is active, well that does not help me.
I am using a horizontal slider control to for 2 functions on the front panel, they are:
Indicate the current test step ( a number from 1 to 1000, poistion gets updated after each step is completed)
Allow the user to select the desired test step
I would like to have the user drag the slider to where they want to go and when they release the right mouse key I can go directly to where they want to be at. How if they want to jump 20 steps forward or backs I get 20 changes. If I just click on the slider bar (not the slider itself) I can go directly to where I want to be. So how can I make this work by having the user drag the slider and go directly to where they want to be?

Horizontal menu with horizontal submenu

I am trying to create a horizontal menu with a submenu that is horizontal directly underneath. So, when you hover over the items on the top menu, the list of subitems appears as a horizontal menu direclty below the the top menu. I've been able to modfy the spry tabbed panel widget to mostly do that, but there has to be a better way. It appears that the spry menu widget for the horizontal menu just has a drop down of subitems in a vertical list below the top menu item.   I've searched but can't find the answer. Could someone please help me out with suggestions? Thank you.

It would have been a lot easier to see what the problem is if you had posted a URL to your site. Now I am only guessing that you have placed an auto width on the submenu item container.
See here for more info http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/AutoWidthHorizontalMenuBarSample.h tml
The only problem with the above sample is that when you make the style rule for the submenu items, you need to include !important next to the float as follows
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li {
    display: block;
   float: none !important;
    width: auto;
    white-space: nowrap;
    border-bottom: solid 1px #EEE;

Help with Essbase 9 and the Java API

Hi, I am trying to connect to Essbase from a Java desktop application and I am unable to do so. I need to know if I am in principle doing the right things and if I have the correct environment set up.
We have a server with Essbase version 9.3.1. We normally use essbase via the Excel Addin, and I have already written Excel applications that utilise both the addin and the Essbase VB API. Now I need to connect to Essbase but from outside Excel and using the Java API. I have no idea what APS is nor does my Essbase Administrator.
My application has the following code (adapted from a post in this forum) -
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s_userName = "user";
String s_password = "password";
String s_olapSvrName = "ustca111";
String s_provider = "http://localhost:13080/aps/JAPI";
try{
IEssbase ess = IEssbase.Home.create(IEssbase.JAPI_VERSION);
IEssDomain dom = ess.signOn(s_userName, s_password, false, null, s_provider);
IEssOlapServer olapSvr = dom.getOlapServer(s_olapSvrName);
olapSvr.connect();
System.out.println("Connection to Analyic server '" + olapSvr.getName() + "' was successful.");
olapSvr.disconnect();
}catch(EssException exp){
System.out.println(exp.getMessage());
I am running my application on my computer, not on the Essbase server, and the username I am using is the same one I use (as a user of Essbase) via the Essbase Addin in Excel, not an admin login.
When I run the app I get:
"Cannot connect to Provider Server.Make sure the signon parameters are correct and the Provider Server is running."
Please can you confirm:
1) Do I need an admin login for my client application to connect to the Essbase server or can I use a normal read-access login, like the one I use in Excel?
2) Is the provider always the same regardless of the computer, i.e. "http://localhost:13080/aps/JAPI"; How do I know what this has to be? Where do I get this information from?
3) How can I make sure that the Server is running the necessary "Provider Server", is this just a service that will show on services.msc of the server? What should I ask the Essbase Administrator for him to tell me what I need?
Thank you very much.
Leo

Tim, when I look in my computer's Essbase installation path I can only find the following jar files (from the ones you have listed).
C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\JavaAPI\external\css\log4j-1.2.8.jar

C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\JavaAPI\lib\ess_japi.jar
I do not have css-9_3_1.jar or interop-sdk.jar.
In order to try the embedded mode, I added the three jars I have to the classpath, and have re-built and ran with "embedded" as the provider. This is what I got in my output screen:

Custom sort pivot table columns with Essbase as the data source

Is it possible to sort columns in a pivot table according to an arbitrary value that I define when the data is coming from Essbase?
For example, say I have a dimension called Soda, with values Coke, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper. I create a report with a sales measure with the measure labels on the rows and the Soda dimension on the column. By default the columns will be sorted alphabetically:
Coke Diet Coke Diet Dr. Pepper Dr. Pepper
Sales 1M .5M .75M 1.25M
I want to create a report that looks like this:
Coke Diet Coke Diet Dr. Pepper Dr. Pepper
Sales
I think I could do this if the source was relational just by creating bins or creating a custom column with a case statement that assigns each Soda an arbitrary value and then sort on this value. Everything I've tried with Essbase as the source, though, results in:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
Any ideas?

Hi,
1. You can try solve the 'An external aggregate is found in an outer query block' by changing aggregation rule for your measure both in physical and business layer.
By default it's set to Aggr_External - change it to Sum
In physical : Column properties->Aggregation rule
In business model : Column properties->Aggregation tab -> Default aggregation rule.
This may change the result - after changing check whether you still get correct values.
2. Also, in case the desired order is the same as the order of members in the Essbase cube, and you want to leave Aggr_External, you can create a calculated column that will help you with the sort.
See http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/oracle-bi-ee-101332-handling-sort-order-in-hyperion-essbase-931-evaluate-and-mdx/
Hope this helps,
Alex
