Import from Essbase

Hi all,
I have installed Essbase 9.3.1 and OBI 10.1.3.2, I am trying to use the Import from Multidimensional source option to import an Essbase database, all appears to be OK until I save the repository, then I get the error
[nQSError:28003]Near Line 285, near<TYPE>:Syntax error [nQSError:26012]
This happens for both my own Essbase data and the Essbase sample databases.
Does anyone know the cause of this?
thanks
Ed

Hmmm
Unfortunately I now have another error:
A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46121] [my essbase server name] is not a correct URL
What I can't understand is if this is incorrect then how/why was I able to import the tables in the first place using the same connection info. This error is listed in the release notes for OBI 10.1.3.3.2, the recommended solution, use a valid URL!!
Any ideas anyone please?

BI Admin Tool crashes when importing from Essbase

Hi folks,
I'm trying to import an Essbase cube into my OBIEE RPD and it is causing the Admin Tool to crash with a generic Windows error msg that "BI Admin Tool has stopped working and Windows is looking for a solution"..
I'm using OBIEE 10.3.1.4 with all components, including BI Server installed on my local machine which is Windows 7 32-bit. The Essbase server is on a different machine. The RPD is working fine for several other data sources, and crashes only when I try to import from Essbase. The Essbase server is also working fine. The crash happens regardless of whether I'm in online or offline mode. I even tried to create a new RPD in case the other one was corrupted, but even the new one crashes.
I have Essbase client installed on the same machine as BI Server and my environment variables seem fine. All ports on the Essbase server machine are open and I can ping it from the BI Server machine, so it is not a network issue. I know this version of OBI is not officially supported on Windows 7, but it's working fine in all other respects. Has anyone had a similar problem in the past?
Appreciate any advise.
thanks,
Axe

I wonder if cube import only works when using a 32-bit Essbase client?

Importing data from Essbase to Excel

Hi All,
We are using classic Hyperion Planning application for meeting our "Budgeting and forecasting" needs. Along with this we are also maintaining excel worksheets for other finance related activities. I was wondering if there is any way through which i can populate few of my excel cell from Essbase data.

Here is a link to the 11.1.2.2 documentation. There is a SmartView users guide on the Foundation Services tab.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_2.htm
There is a lot of free documentation available on the Oracle download site covering all of the Oracle EPM products so if you are on a different version then go to this page and select your version of the software:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/epm/documentation/index.html
Hope this helps

Migrate the users, groups from essbase 7.1.6 to shared services

Hi
Our current production is essbase version 7.1.6 and we are planning to migrate to EPM 11.1.2 . We would like to move the security administration from Essbase to Shared Services (want to use Native Directory).
can somebody please suggest
1) An utility that Oracle provides with EPM 11.1.2 that helps to migrate the users and groups from 7.1.6 to shared services?
2) After bringing the users groups from 7.1.6 to 11.1.2, do we need to externalize these users and groups or no need?
Appreciate the help. Thanks,

if you have LDAP/MSAD try to configure it first .That will get your users
Now using maxl
spool on to GROUP.txt
display gruoup all;
spool on to USER.txt
display user in group all;
for test purpose create a test group and a test user from the shared services.
Now using GROUP.txt
make up maxl statements to create groups(use any advanced text editor or MS excel to get your work done fast)
create group 'groupname';
now login into that shared services
go to FOundation Application group->click sharedservices->drop down native directory ->Right click on Groups and select export for edit.THat will save you Groups.csv file.
Now
1.Open that Groups.csv file
2.Using USER,txt ,paste the users in that file under their respective group.(Look for test group created that should give you an idea!!!)
3.Paste user correctly and save it to the same file Groups.csv
4.go to FOundation Application group->click sharedservices->drop down native directory ->Right click on Groups and select IMPORT for edit.
5.that will get your users into the groups.
________filters_______
Using maxl again
spool on to FILTER.txt
display filter row all;
spool on to GRPRIVILEGE.txt
display privilege group all;
Now using FILTER.txt
create maxl statements
(use any advanced text editor or MS excel to get your work done fast)
Ex: create filter app.database.filtername read/write/none/metaread on 'AREA ' ;
Using GRPRIVILEGE.txt
create maxl statements
grant filter app.databse.filtername to 'groupname';
that should get your filters created and assigned.
else you can use Advanced Security Manger
http://www.appliedolap.com/free-tools/advanced-security-manager
hope that should give you an idea!!!!!!!

You can get the key from edelivery.oracle.com
If you follow it "how to i get my licenses" then it will take you to
http://licensecodes.oracle.com/
select Hyperion and then look for your product
System 9 Data Integration Management (11.1.1 and 11.1.1.1 only)
Hyperion_DIM.zip
If you have a problem, please get back or let us know it worked.
By the way are you planning to extract data from Essbase 11.1.x, what is your target for this data?

Thank you very much in advance

Measurement hierarchy from Essbase to BIEE physical layer

According to official documents, the measurement hierarchy from Essbase should be imported as one flat level on Physical layer in OBIEE Administration. However, after importing, I can't see those measurements shown ! What I can see is the "Measure" dimension which has 5 gen of hierarchy~
What I want is to put the measurements (e.g. unit sold / unit sold (east region) / unit sold (west region) / unit count / sales per week .... ) to presentation layer for users. How can I handle this? Is there anything I miss while building the cube in essbase?
Since my essbase has just been upgraded from v.6 to v.11.
Does anyone can help? THANKS A LOT !

Welcome to the wonderful world of OBIEE/Essbase integration!
Your "Measure" dimension basically should be your Account dimension of Type "Accounts". When a dimension has that type, it will automatically become the "fact" in the flattened out representation in the physcial layer.
Funny that you mention this since I anyways wanted to blog a bt more on this since I got quite some questions recently (for all who were there: result of that nice discussion in Brighton), since you may have multiple measure hierarchies and then there's a bit more config to do ;-)
Update:
I just saw your other post and I'm a bit confused now. You state you have the "Measure" table which I assume means you have it in the BMM layer already. As of 10.1.3.3.2. if you import Essbase metadata, you can just drag and drop it from physical to BMM to presentation layer and the models and presentation tables are created automatically. Not much manual intervention needed (initially, but you'll do a lot of modification afterwards).
Cheers,

When I try to print a drawing imported from my ipad iphoto crops it. Is there any way to stop this?

When I try to print a drawing imported from my ipad iphoto crops it. Is there any way to stop this?

Usual cause: printing at the wrong aspect ratio for the image - trying to print 5 x 3 in the shape of a 6 x 4 for instance.

I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
For the annoying start-up message:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Comments not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server. SDDM 3.3.0.747

Hi,
SDDM 3.3.0.747 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
Comments are not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server 2008. Connection through Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server or jTDS 1.2.7
What I have tried? In SDDM DDL generation, Comments in DBRMS for SQL Server are generated with "EXEC sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description' , 'Test Comment' ..." so I added extended property named "MS_Description" into SQL Server database, both on table and column. None of them were imported from Data Dictionary into SSDM. I have tried both drivers stated above. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've found similar question thread Re: Data dictionary import doesn't import column comments for SDDM 3.0.0.665, so I guess it is a bug when importing with JDBC drivers.

Extended properties were not imported correctly from SQLServer databases at DM 3.3.0.747.
Calls to sp_addextendedproperty and fn_listextendedproperty have been modified.
I don't think it is a problem with JDBC drivers.
A bug fix should be available in the next release of DM.

SQL modeler can not import from data dictionary

It was very frustruted to see that the SQL Modeler hang in import from data dictionary of a database as part of revise engineering. I have to question myself if sql modeler is a serious tool and should I give up.

I am not sure if Data Modeller is still in Beta./Production. First couple off initial versions of a new product are normally buggy.
Regards
Alternatively, If this product is still in Beta, then you can contact the development team or report the issue so that they can take care of this issue in next beta release.

Unable to Import from my Canon DC220 camcorder...

I had begun a project with I-movie 6 of which my camcorder was not compatible with...my solution was to upgrade to I-Movie 08 of which the Canon DC220 is compatible with and I-Movie should import from (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306171). Unfortunately, when I plug my Camcorder into the USB and switch it to PC/Computer mode, I get a pop up on the screen stating that I "inserted a Blank DVD" and gives me a few options on how to proceed. I did try to use other USB ports on the Mac...nothing. I did try a couple different DVDs of which I recorded on...nothing. So I was able to eliminate the problem being with the DVD or the USB port I was using. Please advise as I am at a loss. Thanks so much.

Unplug your USB cable and then press func. to enter the menu on your camera.
plug in your cameras power supply. Then select Finalize. This will close the disc and prepare it for importing.
I'm still having trouble, but this is a step you must follow.
