How to create an attribute dimension in Essbase Studio?

I cannot figure out how to create an attribute dimension using Essbase Studio. The online help states that I need to "Find the Attribute settings grouping in the center" of the member properties dialog box. I suspect that I'm having a problem figuring this out because I don't have the attribute dimension properly defined in the relational data source or in the mini-schema. I've tried creating a table with no key relationship to the other tables and with no logical joins defined, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

so in the 11.1.1 version you would click on the member name in the hierarchy you added to the Essbase model and in the center pane of the general tab should be the attributes settings section.
If I had a dimension called stores wth two groupings unser it region and store_type, I would click on store_type and add the attribute info

Unable to create attribute dimension in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
As per the process,I am create an Attribute for an dimension as below
Hierarchy
Family(gen1)
SKU(gen2)
Attribute1(gen1)
SKU(gen2)
Attribute2(gen2)
SKU(gen3)
Here the issue i am unable to create an 2nd attribute parallel to first on i mean attributes are not creating as sliblings.
Please advise
Thanks,
SatyaB

I think I understand what you are asking. I think your example is something like
Products
---Colas
-----Coke
-----Diet coke
Bottle (attribute)
---Coke
Can (attribute)
---Diet coke
This is not the way attributes work, you would have a column in your soruce perhaps called container_type that has the relationship
Container_type
Sku
So the rows would look like
Sku----Family-----container_type----other properties
coke...Colas........Bottle............XXXXXX
Diet Code..Colas...Can.............XXXXXXX
This could be in your primary table or a joined table

Hierarchical attribute dimension with Essbase Studio

Hi everybody,
I need to load product dimension which is organized in a relational parent-child table like this:
(parent_code, member_code, member_alias, brand, consolidation, formula)
Every product has a brand and I need to load brand as attribute dimension. The thing is Brand is not flat but it has its own hierarchy. For Brand I have another relational table where data is organized parent-child like this:
(brand_parent, brand_child, brand_alias).
I need to do this load with Essbase Studio but I do not known how to create the Product hierarchy in cube schema in order to load the hierarchical parent-child attributes. Documentation and tutorials only show examples for flat attributes. I thought of these two ways but not sure if will work:
case 1) Product hierarchy like this:
Parent_code
Member_code
Brand_parent
Brand_child
Member_code
case 2) Product hierarchy like this:
Parent_code
Member_code
Brand_parent
Brand
Member_code
Has anyone had to this? How did you do it?
Any help will be very appreciate.
Thank you,
Daniela

I've not tried it, but you should be able to build the attribute hierarchy within the product hierarchy. sort of like
Parent Code
---member Code
Brand Parent
---Brand Code
-----Member Code.
A couple of things
1. Remember to create the self join between Parent_code and Member code
2. IF this does not work, I suggest creating either a user defined table or a view that just gives you distinct brand parent and Brand Code. Join the Brand Code to the product table on brand_code = brand code and use that table to build that hierarchy.

How to create an Attribute set

Hi Everyone,
i am learning OAF....right now going through PPR.I was referring the sample tutorials where i came across attribute sets in the PPR Example, which i believe were created as per requirement.So not able to proceed further till i get some clue abt how to create an attribute set as per my requirement.Tried to refer dev guide but not able to grab the concept
Can anyone tell me where exactly do i need attribute sets(i am only aware that it is used to provide the look n feel to the browser) and how to go abt creating one.
Thanks
Amrita

Thanks for replying
i'd like u to see the PartialPageExample in sampleLibrary project..There is a function being called in the CO from SampleBrowserAM which is
public void handleSupplierSelectionEvent()
OADBTransaction txn = getOADBTransaction();
String detailTableText = null;
// Find the selected radio button so we can mark the current row.
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)findViewObject("SuppliersVO1");
// Get the first filtered row.
Row masterRow = vo.getFirstFilteredRow ("SelectFlag", "Y");
if (masterRow != null)
vo.setCurrentRow(masterRow);
String supplierName = (String)masterRow.getAttribute("Name");
MessageToken[] tokens = { new MessageToken("SUPPLIER_NAME", supplierName)};
detailTableText =
txn.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_SITES_FOR_SUPPLIER", tokens); }
else
// If there are no selected rows, display a default generic message.
detailTableText =
txn.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_SUPPLIER_SITES", null);
// Now set the text message on the DETAIL_TABLE_TEXT attribute in
// the application properties VO.
SampleBrowserPVOImpl appPropsVo = getSampleBrowserPVO1();
Row appPropsRow = appPropsVo.getCurrentRow();
if (appPropsRow != null)
appPropsRow.setAttribute("DetailTableText", detailTableText);
} // end handleSupplierSelectionEvent()
i am not able to understand the text in bold in the code above.how do i refer to it, where is it stored, what is it doing , and it is maybe specific to the supplier table coz i cannot use it for my custom table...can u pls explain

How to create a Time Dimension

Hi
This is regarding a new topic which i could not find the answer in this forum.
Actually i want to create a time dimension to populate my source data which is in date/time format.
can anyone please reply back reagrding how to create a time dimension in ODI???
regards
Gourisankar

Hi Gourisankar,
I am not aware of time dimension. But when i searched in metalink i got the below note. I am not sure whether it will help you or not but still a small contribution. :)
The note as follows,
To create new time dimensions, run the following SQL instructions :
* Example to generate a calendar between 1999-01-01 and 2007-12-31 one row per day
SELECT to_date('1999-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')+rownum
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY
ROWNUM<=to_date('2007-12-31','YYYY-MM-DD')-to_date('1999-01-01','YYYY- MM-DD');
* Example for generating a calendar random number
SELECT DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY ROWNUM<=1000000;
May be you can create a VIEW out of this query ,reverse it and use that as a source in your interface.
Try this and let me know.
Thanks,
G

Is it possible to create an Attribute Dimension in an ASO Database?

When I create the initial attribute parent and attempt to save the outline, it gives me an error that I need to associate the attribute dimension with the base dimension. So I go to my L0 member, but the associations tab is greyed out. Any ideas if this is possible to create? Thanks!

OK, Are you doing this.
1. create the attribute dimension
2. click on the base dimesnion
3. right click on the DIMENSION NAME and selet edit properties
4. Click on the tab called Attributes. You should see the list of attribute dimensions
5. Once the dimension is associated with the base dimension, you can assign attributes to the members

How to create server named sets in Essbase 9.3.1

Anyone know how to create/access this? If so, what tool (essmsh.exe, Administration Services?) is needed to do this?
Thanks,
J

Yes you need to create one DSN connection and you have to use DSN name and login details at the time of building/loading of the outline.
Create DSN
Goto Administrative tools -> DataSources (ODBC) and add the DSN name and specify the Server name of SQL and login details and database.
goto data prep editor and click on File Menu and Click on Open SQL option Next window opens.
There you have to enter the details of the DSN connection and SQL query to build/load.

Hello Ashok,
[here|https://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/current/com/sap/mdm/examples/CreateField.html] is the Java API of the needed command.
There is also an example of how to create a field. You can use the class by replacing the strings for the server, repository, table, etc. to your needs.
If you want to create more than one field, simply use a loop, like the for-loop, while-loop, etc.
Hope this helps.

How to create a Attribute "Type standard table OF" to a OSS NOTE

Dear experts,
I need to add new attributes in a standard class as per one OSS note. I took access key to add new attributes. I have a question.
class name: CL_J_1BEFD
Attribute: MT_GROUP_C350
Level: Instance
Visibility: Private
Type STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result
How do i add the instance attribute because i do not want to give the typing and associated type, instead i have to declare data: MT_GROUP_C350 type standard table of mty_result in class builder private section code.
if you look at the pushbutton between Associated type and Description, for all instance attributes there's a green color lining below the arrow. I want my attribute also to be exactly same.
Though i have access key, in private section the display<->Change button is disabled.
Please suggest me how do i add code in private section of a standard class. i have required access key to change the class.
Thanks,
Alysson

Hi Friend...
Thanks, but the question is...
When I went to transaction se24 or se80, I chose the class CL_J_1BEFD and second I swap to "CHANGE MODE".. after that the pushbutton is blocked... I can create the Attribute mt_group_c800 in the Class (using TYPE or LIKE option), but i can't change the code in the private session even using the assistant to modify it.
When I acess the Button "Detail View" the option "Direct Type Entry" is just unavaliable too, no matter what i do!
I coudn't find a way to create the Attibute like the note Describes (SAPNOTE NUMBER 1575772 - in the attachment of the note)
The changes are contained in the attachment
Follows the instructions retrieved from the file:
Add the following Attributes on the Class CL_J_1BEFD Private section
data:
mt_group_c800 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result .
data:
mt_group_c850 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result .
data:
mt_group_c860 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result .
data:
mt_group_c890 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mty_result .
How can i make a way to creat this attributes using "TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF " Option?

How to create an attribute

Hi,
I can create xml elements in designer, e.g. John Brinkman's example
// Add a question datagroup with the right question type
// then add a question subform to bind against it.
                                                  var vNewQ = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup", "Question");
                                                  vNewType = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue", "QuestionType");
                                                  vNewType.value = vQDef.QuestionType.value;
                                                  vNewQ.nodes.append(vNewType);
                                                  vSection.dataNode.nodes.append(vNewQ);
However, I would like to create an attribute (I'm working with an existing predefined schema) but I can't seem to find a simple way, e.g.
I would like something like
<Question QuestionType=""/>
How can I do this? I tried loading the XML in like
                                                  var vNewType          =
                                                                                                      <Question QuestionType="">
                                                                                                      </Question>;
                                                  xfa.data.mForm.loadXML(vNewType.toString(), false, false);
but unless I give it a child node, it bombs out. It will work with
var vNewType =
    <Question QuestionType="">
       <dummyRow/>
    </Question>;
Any help would be worth 5 gold medals.

Hi,
You need to set the contains property of the dataValue to 'metaData" to turn it into an attribute, but you can only do this once the dataValue has a parent, so your code should look like;
var vNewQ = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup", "Question");
vNewType = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue", "QuestionType");
vNewType.value = vQDef.QuestionType.value;
vNewQ.nodes.append(vNewType);
vNewType.contains = "metaData";
vSection.dataNode.nodes.append(vNewQ);
