How to do Fragmentatiom of Two Essbase cubes.

Hi
How can we create a fragmentation on OBIEE taking data sources from 2 cubes? For example:
I have two cubes basreg(current year) and basreg09(history) .Their is a minor change in cube structure for that reason they created a new cube for year 2010.
I need to pull both cubes data inorder to show report result. Is their any method or way through which i can use both cubes in obiee in creating report.

What are prerequisites for joining two essbase cubes

Hi,
Please explain us the could we able to join essbase cubes. What is the approach in three layers of the rpd. We are struggling since long to join two essbase cubes.
Regards,
Chandra kanth

You can create a third cube and partition those two cubes. This will let you view both the cube from the third cube seamlessly.
Please look this up.

How data update when there is two planning cubes in one aggregation level

If we have two planning cubes and a multi-cube includes these two planning cubes.
then we have the aggregation level defined based on this multi-cube.
if the characteristics and key figures defined in aggregation level all are included in these two planning cubes. When we plan the data with plan query based on this aggregation level, which plan cube will be updated with plan data, or both of them?

HI Wang,
yes as Bindu said you need to restrict the layout based on the infoprovider.
Lets assume that we have a multi provider M1 and it has two planning cubes cube1 and cube1.
in case u develop a layout for updating cube 1 give the restriction in the filter section as infoprovider = cube1.
or the vice versa.
Else ur layout must input values for both the cubes simultaneously, then in that case create two restricted KF with each having a restriction for cube1 and cube 2.
so wen the user enters value for the first restricted KF it will get saved in cube1 and wen he enters value for the second restricted KF it will gets saved in cube2.
This is how it works. Guess this was useful to u.

How to build an Essbase cube

Hi Everyone
I am new to Essbase , i looking for step by step process of creating essbase cubes . Please suggest me what tools do i need to use to build essbase cubes on relational database(Oracle 10g) . How hard is it for fresh guy to build according to a business requirement. Do i need to learn any scripting language to build a cube which involves in lot of calculation. I have googled a lot to get information on this, but i didn't get full information .Please provide me a link or doc or video through which i will get complete understanding of building essbase cube.
Thanks in advance.

To start with Oracle by Example is one the best source:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hyp_ana/ess11.1.1.htm
It contains proper audio/video lessons as well.
Hyperion Essbase provides powerful analytical processing to fulfill a broad spectrum of business performance management needs across all levels and functional areas of business. Information is stored in multiple dimensions and hierarchies that provide a concise and intuitive application model, because they define multiple views of information in the same way users organize, navigate and select information for analysis. It means business understanding plays a vital role in heading towards Essbase.
Essbase has our very own Calc scripts, No doubt it becomes easy for you to learn it if you have prior programming experience. Not so hard but its fun. Its really exciting how you extract information from the data, which the help of such a stong tool.

How to use the dynamical or static variable for ESSBASE cube name?

Hi Experts,
When I import ESSBASE Cube into physical layer, the cube name from ESSBASE is created automatically, such as H_Sales.
I want to use the the static or dynamical variable for replacing the external name. So I try to create the static variable in RPD,such as cubeName, and use the following code
'VALUEOF(cubeName)' into the textbox of external name.
However, when I view the report in answer, it will generate the error message: Database VALUEOF(cubeName) does not exist.
Is it possible to implement this functionality?
Thanks..

Hi,
use <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("D")%>
D as parameter if it is the Data Schema or W if you need the schema from Work Schema
Your command will be like:
select <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("D")%>.GER_LOT_EXEC_ODI('Fluxo', 1, 'C') FROM DUAL
Works?

How to make data in Essbase cube equal to data in DW when drilling through

Is there standard ways in Oracle BI + Essbase to make data in Essbase cube and DW equal (corresponding)?
For example when we are drilling down from cube to DW in this moment in DW may be loaded additional data (new data) which are not loaded in the cube yet.
So we have situation where data in the cube not correspond to data in the DW.

I think rebuilding the cube on a more frequent basis not solves the problem – there will be significant time between the moment when data loaded in DW and when data updated in the cube.
I thought of creating 2 tables in DW (“new” and “old”) and 2 cubes (“new” and “old”).
So the process of loading data will look like this:
1. We have corresponding data in table “old” and cube “old”. User always works with “old” objects.
2. Load data to table “new”.
3. Load data to cube “new” from table “new”.
4. Rename tables and cubes: “old” to “new”, “new” to “old”. Here users starting to work with updated cube and table.
5. Add new changes go cube and table “new” (there will be old data).
6. Go to step 2.
But this way is too expensive (storage amount doubles).
And maybe easier way can be found?...

Single pivot from two different Essbase Cubes

Hi All,
I need to show the data from two different cubes into a single Pivot.
Is that can be achive at different levels like :-
1. Repository
2. Answers
3. Essbsae
If there is any another way to solve this problem.
Thanks In Advance
Brijesh.

Hi ,Banerjee.
Asuume that you Cube Structures like below..
Cube -1 : Clime No, Cliime Name, Location, Amount1, Amount2.
Cube -2 : Clime No, Plant, Material, Location, Amount3, Amount4.
In your Multiprovider you need to select the Charecteristics "Clime No" , and "Location" ,becasue it is common in both Cubes
and In Keyfigure : You can select all or only one or only two or one from Cube -1 and other from Cube - 2 it doesn't matter.
In this case it will disply in single line, but in your case I hope the charecteristics which you are selected in Multiprovider in Identification is wrong, if you don't select common Charecteristics, you won't get the report in single line.
For reference you can see the following BLOG which will explain exactly your problem and Solution.

How to create the relationship between ESSBASE 11 and DM in OBIEE11

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement that there is one property table named 'Store Master' in DW,and it contains a lot of attribute, such as Open Date, Close Date, IS 24 Hour etc.
But another data source is essbase and based on this source, I create all reports.
In ESSBASE, it has one dimension and hierarchy Location, and it has four level, Country(L1),Region (L2),Province(L3),Store(L4)
So I want to know how to create the relationship between Location (ESSBASE) and Store Master (DM).
I try to create one relationship in physical layer between Gen4,Location and Store, then drag the open date and close date into Location Dimension in BMM,then Presentation Layer.
When I drag column 'Open Date' ,'Gen4,Location ' and 'Sales' into reports, it will generate the following error message:
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: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Dim Region.Store Open Date. (HY000)
However, when I remove the column 'Open Date'. it will be ok.
So what I missing the steps? Please help me. Thanks.

'2. Now, pull the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase. This action now creates, two logical sources for your 'Store' column.'
If the length from different data source is not same,such as 1001(DM),L_1001(ESSBASE), can I drag the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase?
I think it does not work.Right?Hi,
I am not sure if you are talking about the length(as in varchar(128)) of the member value being different in different sources, or the member itself is different in both the sources.
I am still assuming, that you are referring to the members not same in both the sources.If it is, the whole concept of federation is based on conforming dimensions. So, it needs that the same dimension information is present in both the sources and then only, you know we can analyze the numbers based on this dimension. So, either the dimension being different in both sources, or the members not present in both the dimensions might lead to incorrect numbers.
So I select Store Attributes in relation DB and Location in ESSBASE in physical layer, then create the physical join, such as right("Hour Sales"."H_Sales".""."H_Sales"."Gen6,Location",4) = "Authorization".""."EDW"."T_EDW_MDM_STORE"."US_CODE", then drag the OPEN_DATE and CLOSE_DATE in relation DB to Location in ESSBASE in BMM,finially drag them into presentation layer.We create physical layer relationships, to send over the same relation to the underlying database during querying. So, creating a physical relationship between essbase cube and relation database would not help here.
When you set up this federation, BI Server sends individual queries to each source and maps the conforming dimension members internally.
Hope I was clear, and this helps.

Combining relation facts with dimensions from an Essbase cube

Hi!
I am having trouble combining relational measures (from EBS) with dimensions from an Essbase cube. The dimensions that we want to use for reporting (drilling etc) are in an Essbase cube and the facts are in EBS.
I have managed to import both the EBS tables and the cube into OBIEE (11.1.15) and I have created a business model on the cube. For the cube I converted the accounts dimension to a value based dimension, other than that it was basically just drag and drop.
In this business model I created a new logical table with an LTS consisting of three tables from the relational database.
The relational data has an account key that conforms to the member key of the accounts dimension in the Essbase cube. So in the accounts dimension (in the BMM layer) I mapped the relational column to correct column (that is already mapped to the cube) - this column now has two sources; the relational table and the cube. This account key is also available in the LTS of my fact table.
The content levels for the LTS in the fact table have all been set to detail level for the accounts dimension.
So far I am able to report on the data from the fact table (only relational data) and I can combine this report with account key from the account dimension (because this column is mapped to the relational source as well as the cube). But if expand the report with a column (from the accounts dimension) that is mapped only to the cube (the alias column that contains the description of the accounts key), I get an error (NQSError 14025 - see below).
Seeing as how I have modeled that the facts are connected to the dimension through the common accounts key, I cannot understand why OBIEE doesn't seem to understand which other columns - from the same dimension - to fetch.
If this had been in a relational database I could have done this very easily with SQL; something along the lines of select * from relational_fact, dim_accounts where relational_fact.account_key=dim_accounts.account_key.
Error message:
[nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail

Avneet gave you the beginnings of one way, but left out that a couple of things. First, you would want to do the export of level zero only. Second, the export needs to be in column format and third, you need to make sure the load rule you use is set to be additive otherwise the last row will overwrite the previouse values.
A couple of other wats I can think of doing this
Create a replicated partition that maps the 3 non used dimensiosn to null (Pick the member at the top of the dimension in your mapping area)
Create a report script to extract the data putting the three dimensions in the page so they don't show up.
Use the custom defined function jexport in a calc script to get what you want

Issue in integrating Essbase cubes with OBIEE

Hi
I am trying to use Essbase cubes as datasource in OBIEE for generating reports,but the issue is in generating , No columns in fact table of cube in BMM layer.
Outline of cube is
Revel(cube)
(Hierachies)
Time Time <5> (Label Only)
Item <54> (Label Only) (Two Pass)
DepInst <20> (Label Only)
SFA_Flag <2>
Deduction_Flag <2>
Rating_Category <6>
PD_Band <9>
Product <17>
Entity <4>
CR_Agency <5>
I am confused how to generate reports without measures in fact table.
Regards
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
in that case it's as I thought:
Or did you just not specify any measure hierarchy?You tried this...
In BMM layer i made this dimension as fact and tried to create reports but not use....which isn't the way. First of all your cube seems to be built quite bizarre since it doesn't even provide a default measure hierarchy so I'd have your Essbase guys check that.
As for the OBIEE side: the key is the physical layer. BMM's already too late. In the physical cube object, you must define one of the hierarchies as the measure hierarchy (since your cube doesn't seem to provide it; see above):

E-mail Alerts from Essbase Cubes

Hi,
I have Essbase 7.1.3 windows server and We do lots of Cube processing through Batch Files.
I would like to have an option to send email alerts to the business users once we are done with the processing.
Say for example , I have a Deposits Essbase cube and once i am done with the calculation and Enable connects to the users i would like to send a mail notification " The Deposit Cube now available....."
Essbase have some thing called " Triggers..." But i am not sure how far will it help me.
Looking forward for your inputs.
Thnx,
MS

Okay, yes, I still use esscmd, so this example is for an esscmd script (some day I will convert them, I promise...).
The shell (batch) script that I use calls esscmd to do the job, and then scans the script (using the for command) for tokens. These tokens determine who gets an email depending on the outcome of the script. By encoding the messaging into the script, I can control the business logic at an appropriate level. The TITLE token is also used during the notification, but I left the logic out that builds the SUBJECT variable (for brevity)...
:TITLE Load Budget data to Daily Trends
:Job Notifications:
:ONERR [email protected]
:ONERR [email protected]
:ONSUCCESS [email protected]
:ONSUCCESS [email protected]
:ONSUCCESS [email protected]
:ONSUCCESS [email protected]
LOGIN "LocalHost" "<superuser>" "<superpassword>";
... etc.Here is the relevant part of the shell job that scans for tokens (the RESULT environment variable is set to either "ERR" or "SUCCESS" based on the output, with other variables set as needed):
TYPE %SCRFILE% | FIND ":ON%RESULT%" >Notify.tmp
FOR /f "tokens=2" %%a in (Notify.tmp) DO SendEmail -f %FROM% -t %%a -u "%SUBJECT%" -m "%MESSAGE%" -s %RELAY% -a %ATTACH%
ERASE /Q Notify.tmp

Using ODI to load 2 similar Essbase cubes

Hello all,
I am trying to create an ODI routine that incorporates the following details:
-Loads specific Essbase member properties from a single flat file to 2 similar Essbase cubes
-The Essbase cubes are virtually identical, except that one is ASO and one is BSO, therefore the properties may differ for specific members (i.e. DataStorage, Consolidation, Formula, etc.). There are also other differences in dimensionality, but those details are inconsequential to this routine...
-For each type of member property, the flat file has 2 sets of columns - one for ASO and one for BSO. Therefore, one column might be called "ASODataStorage" while another one is called "BSODataStorage". They have different values in them respective to the Essbase architecture.
-There is also a set of columns called "ASOFlag" and "BSOFlag" that flag which members should even be loaded to that respective cube. So, one sub hierarchy may be needed for the ASO cube, but not the BSO cube.
Earlier, I created 2 contexts for these cubes so I could use the same ODI routine and source metadata to update both cubes with a simple change of context. This part is working correctly. The challenge I'm facing now, however, is how to design a routine that will select the appropriate columns of data based on my context. Therefore, if one context is called "ASO", it should select the "ASO" columns and apply only those properties/members. And a similar situation should happen when the "BSO" context is created.
I have tinkered with the idea of using a variable that stores the current context information, and becomes evaluated at runtime and then changes the source columns based on the variable value. However, I'm having trouble getting this to work correctly (I am a newbie to variables). I am also having trouble figuring out how to map all of the source columns to the target columns, as I am going from double property columns in the source to a single set of property columns in the Essbase metdata target.
Is there a better way to approach this in ODI? Please note that I am aware that EIS can handle this as well...but I am looking for an ODI solution.
Thanks in advance!
-OS

Hi,
In simple terms you should be able to create a package, drag the variable on to the package and set the value as ASOflag
Then drag your interface on to the diagram to run the ASO load (the interface should have a filter that uses the variable to filter the required records)
Then drag the variable on to the diagram and set the value to BSOflag.
Then drag your interface on to the diagram to run the BSO load (the interface should have a filter that uses the variable to filter the required records)
Though you say you are changing contexts so you might have to go down the route of generating a scenario from a package for the ASO load, then a scenario for the BSO load, then create another package using the ODIstartscen tool and execute the scenarios with the specified scenarios.
