Import Hierarchies into Essbase Studio

Hi all,
I am running Essbase Studio 11.1.1.3.00.I have exported hierarchies into text files from an EAS database. I want to use the files to create the hierarchies in Studio. Is this possible and how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry I slightly misunderstood. If you are talking about an export, then it will not give you what you need. You would have to get the hierarchies from your Essbase model. Options for doing that would be
ODI,
the outline extractor available at appliedOlap.com (there is also one from Star Analytics that I don't remember the name of)
or from the API.
Each of the dimension extracts would have to be in a format acceptable to Studio like Parent child. You would have to include all the properties of each member to get it to build properly. Then you could load your data (either from within studio or with just a load rule.

Hi,
I dont think Windows 7 is supported OS.
Go through the support matrix,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/hyperion-supported-platforms-085957.html
Having said that, there are ppl who have installtion done on Windows 7 as well.
I would say, check the services first if they are up and running or not. If yes, then logs should be the first place to visit.

Import XML into Essbase?

Is it possible to import XML into Essbase or are we limited to flat files or Excel files? If XML is an option, can someone point me to some documentation?
Thx!

Essbase supports the following types of data sources only
Text files (flat files) from text backups or external sources
SQL data sources
Essbase export files (export files do not need a rules file to load)
Microsoft Excel files with the .XLS extension, Version 4.0 and higher
Microsoft Excel files, Version 5.0 and higher (loaded only as client artifacts or files in the file system)
Spreadsheet audit log files

Importing subtitles into DVD Studio Pro 4 that were created FCP Studio 6

Greetings!
So in all the DVD Studio Pro 4 documentation, I couldn't find any work flow that allowed you to create subtitles, via *Text or Boris 3D Titles* in Final Cut Pro Studio 6 and then export or import your work into DVD Studio Pro to be used in the subtitle fields... Is that possible?
After painstakingly entering in subtitles for a feature film line-by-line, timing them perfectly to picture and making them look beautiful with crisp-text & a slight drop-shadow... It would be wonderful to import those files (as graphics files? DVD Studio Pro can import those...) in our DVD for release, with optional subtitles-- Instead of making/encoding 2 versions; with & without subtitles.
What is the best way to export these files, created for the film subtitling in *Text or Boris 3D Titles* so that we can import them into DVD Studio Pro 4 subtitle tracks... Could they be exported with an Alpha Channel so that the background is transparent? And will this then be excepted into DVD Studio Pro 4 to be placed in the subtitle fields?
Please help us conquer this seemingly-necessary procedure... I would really hate to think that to achieve this task we'd have to re-enter, re-design & re-time ALL subtitles to make our DVD... All of your suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

OK-- I love that I've found a way to answer my own question on this forum (but actually I must credit my buddy James for finding out about 'TitleExchange Pro') It looks pretty cool and should do exactly what I've asked about: Exporting/ Importing subtitles made in FCP to DVD SP...
TitleExchange Pro is a unique tool which makes complicated things simple.
If you ever wished to get your titles out of FCP into DVDSP (or another DVD authoring application), get titles into FCP from another source like DVDSP or STL, or ceate a QT with all your FCP subtitles without the need of rendering (and get automatic selection of language) or just "equalize" your FCP titles TEP will be the right tool.
There's a slight catch but it might be worth it, if this works as well as it states...Cost 135 EUR:) You can download a limited demo version that works for 30 days & 50 titles...If anyone wants to give their feedback on this software, please post it here-- We'd all be interested.
Download & more information about this process at: http://www.spherico.de/filmtools/TitleExchange/
Also, check out this video tutorial on the product... It explains exactly how to do the task-at-hand... http://www.studiodaily.com/main/minisites/finalcutpro/f/mtutorials/6851.html
Hope this finds you all well--

How to update all hierarchies in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
Currently I am building ASO cube using Essbase Studio.We are having 6[Stored]+1[Accounts] hierarchies in that 3 hiearchies contains 4 generations and remianing 3 hiearchies contains 3 generations with 20 attricbutes each.When I am trying to use "INCREMENTAL LOAD" with "Update all hierarchies" option records gets rejected.When I am using "Incremental Load" with "Rebuild hierarchies" it taking very long time.
Since our ware house is huge I cannot reset all and load from first.
Can someone assist me how to update the hierarchies on daily basis in less time
Note: In our cube we dont have any shared members
Thanks,
SatyaB

The == and !== are to set conditions for filtering. the ! meand not. In esscense these allow you to get a subset of rows that meet the conditions specified. In your case where Gender == "M" you will only get those rows where the value is "M". What you want to do is transform rows not filter them. I have not looked at studio enough yet to know how to do this, but a few things come to mind. First, you could use text to create the outline menbers instead of values from the tables, you could crete a reference table with the M = Male and F = Female and join to it to get the values or you could use a standard load rule and sql interface to load the data and just build the dimensions and drill through from Studio. I think I would opt for the second option

Can't import file into DVD studio

Hi we just wrapped up a video which needed closed captioning. The company doing the closed captioning sent us a .SCC extension file which is what I'm supposed to use to embed the captioning into the video it is going along with. Unfortunately when i unzip the file it opens up with Graphics Convertor. I tried to drop it into DVD studio Pro and it won't register. Does any one have any information on working with .SCC extension files and DVD studio
Thanks
Victor

I have had little success importing the .scc files as line 21 captioning. Once the zip is expanded, you can try importing the .ssc file by selecting the track and clicking the "import line 21" button in the inspector. If that does not work, you may be able to convert the data to the appropriate data format for importing as a subtitle stream instead.
hope this helps -

Trying to Import HD into FCP Studio 1.5 Suite

Hi Gang
I have FCP Studio 1.5
I have a Power Mac G5 2.0 Dual Core
I have an nVidia GEForce 7800GT Video Card
I have 5 Gigs of RAM
Can you tell me how I can get HD QT footage onto the timeline? It's there but the Browser and Canvas Screen are black.
Thanx
Mike

Hello Jerry & Zak
I have QT Version 7.6.2 (518)
The HD footage I believe is HDV
It appears part of the problem is because I don't have the correct QT component to playback HD. But I sure don't know which of these to download and install;
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=OSX&ctype=696d6463&c subtype=78647664
Once I find the right component, I'm concerned that my QT playback functionality will be unaltered (as I'm editing mostly standard Def).
And yes I'm using FCP Studio 5.1.4 (I've had the Studio 2 version upgrade package), but I haven't loaded it in yet, as I'm mid-stream through an important project.
I'm wondering if this problem may also be due to sequence settings. But 95% of my captured footage is from Mini DV 720x480. Perhaps I need to open a separate project (new sequence), devoted to compatible settings for HD. Then convert the HD footage for the bulk of the project back into the other standard Def projects.
Thanx
Mike

Essbase studio 11.1.2.1 problem

First of all hello to all and please please help. I'm in the on-site poc engagement where we successfully loaded customer's hierarchies using essbase studio but we cannot somehow make it working with loading data.
Few details:
fact table is very large, around 16 M records and is based on Oracle DB.
The message I'm getting after launching only load task says:
Cannot join following sets of tables: 1. [connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KREDYTY']
2. [connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.DORADCA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KAT_RYZYKA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.ORGANIZACJA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.OBSZAR', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_KRED', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_PROD', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.KANAL', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_RACH', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.POC_PARMPF_AGR', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TERMIN', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.LINIA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.PODMIOT', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.SALDA', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.TYP_OPROC', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.DEPOZYTY', connection : \'pko'::'POC_A.WALUTA'].
I don't understand that as I did created joins between fact table and dimension tables.
In the log file I found following 2 sections:

If I understand it correctly essbase studio doesn't allow to deploy app that is already there but the question is why it want to deploy when I select only load data task ?
Also, can somebody tell me why I cannot setup custom sql ?
I'd really appreciate your help as we can win million + deal
Thanks!!!!

I hear that there is a really good book available now on Studio (http://www.amazon.com/Look-Smarter-Than-Essbase-Studio/dp/1458362434/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336684325&sr=8-1), you may want to see if that helps. Hopefully the very reasonable cost can be viewed as a good investment for that million + deal.

Essbase Studio Alternate Hierarchy Creation error

Hi All,
I'm using Essbase Studio to create an alternate hierarchy. I have a dim which has shared members and I'm getting the following error msg during cube deployment:
1. Record #1- Member Name (SKU) already used i.e. the member for which I m trying to create shared member
     I m following the same procedure mentioned in the user guide i.e.
        Step1: create a copy of the dimension element that you want to designate as a shared member(Renamed SKU_copy with SKU_Diet). By making a copy, the binding expression for this element is the same as the original dimension element (SKU_Diet).
       Step2: when you create the second hierarchy in the chain, which is the alternate hierarchy, add a user-defined membas the parent and add the new dimension element (SKU_Diet) as the child, which will be the shared member.
     Even I m able to see the shared members (SKU_Diet) under user defined member "Diet" under the preview window (both by key binding and caption binding) as wel..
     But I m unable to see the shared members in EAS console after deploying the cube from Essbase Studio to EAS Console.
I m not able to understand what I m missing exactly,.and suggest me other ways as well for creating alternate hierarchies in Essbase Studio.
Thanks in advance..!!

Migraton from EIS to Essbase Studio

Hi All,
We try to migrate the existing EIS (32 bits setup) into Essbase Studio (64 bits) environment.
The old EIS and SQL2000 are both installed on separate servers.
In the new environment we have a seperate server for Studio and SQL2008.
How to use the migration function ?
I have create an ODBC on the Studio-server with a connection to the SQL2000 server.
When I start the EIS catalog Migration, fill in the EIS Catalog ODCC DSN with the just created ODBC-name.
Then press the Fetch Models button and the message: No models could be fetched for the catalog etc.
What's going wrong. Your reaction is much appriciated !!
Regards,
Ed

Thanks Glenn,
that gives me a better approach for my solution.
As metadata/data loading to the Planning application (workforce) will be part of an integration process we could then:
1. Load new Metadata to the Planning application
2. Refresh the planning databases
3. Run a MAXL Script to redeploy the Essbase-Studio cube (which is actually the Planning cube)
4. Load aggregated data to Essbase cube
5. Load detailed data to relational table in Essbase Studio.
now the cube is deployed with Essbase Studio so drill through should work as expected.
The integration process will be created in ODI so ODi will be responsible of loading metadata and data, and also executing the MAXL script for cube re-deployment
Do you think we are missing something in the macro steps above?

Unable to load data into Essbase cube using Essbase Studio

Hi
We are creating an essbase cube using Essbase Studio using flat files as data sources.
We have taken different hierarchies into different flat files and created one fact file having dimension intersection along with data.
We are able to create the cube and the hierarchy but not able to load any data.
We are getting the following error
Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
Caused by: Unable to perform dataload from more than one flat file.
Could anyone please help on this?

Oh this was killing me, so I did this test in 11.1.1.3:
1) Excel 2007 format -- no go, Essbase didn't see it
2) Excel 2003 format, three sheets -- only the first sheet was read into an empty rule
3) Excel 2003 format, one sheet -- the first sheet was read into an empty rule
4) Excel 95 format, one sheet -- the first sheet was read into an empty rule
The lesson?
1) Excel 2007/2010 sheets don't work (no surprise there as the .xlsx format isn't supported).
2) Excel 2003 and lower (hey, if you have Excel 4, I'll bet that works as well) work, but only the first sheet is recognized.

Is it possible to import a .pdf or .doc file into DVD studio Pro 4?

When I finally finish my 2D animation for my Senior Project and finally make the DVD, I want to include the short story that the animation is based on to the DVD. I want to import it as .pdf or a .doc into DVD Studio Pro 4. What I want to know is, is if this is possible, or if is not, is there another acceptable file format that I can use if .pdf or .doc isn't possible?
Message was edited by: obisgirl

Techincally you can create a link to take it to the file... but there are so many different software DVD players that it doesnt work with 90% of them so its pointless..
as for including your files on the DVD....
First make sure your files are all in one folder called DVD Content or something like that so they know its in that location
then in DVDSP at the top where all the icons are...
hit build and format.
in the general tab you will see...
Disc
Source
DVD-ROM Data
destination
under DVD-ROM Data check the content box.
Choose the folder you have all your files in.
joliet extension support doesnt really matter but i always click it so that windows can identify better what file format it is.
then continue building and formating.
let me know if that works or if you run into an issue.

Essbase Studio Performance Issue : Data load into BSO cube

Hello,
Having succesfully built my outline by member loading through Essbase Studio, I have tried to load data into my application again with Studio. However I was never able to complete the data load because it is taking forever. Each time I tried to work with Studio in streaming mode (hoping to increase the query speed), the load gets terminated due to the following error : Socket read timed out.
In the Studio properties file, I typed in, oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout=1000000000, but the result has not changed. Even if it did work out, I am also not sure the streaming mode is gonna provide a much faster alternative to working in non-streaming mode. What I'd like to know is, which Essbase settings I can change (either in Essbase or Studio server) in order to speed up my data load. I am loading into a Block Storage database with 3 Dense, 8 Sparse and 2 attribute dimensions. I filtered some dimensions and tried to load data to see exactly how long it takes to create a certain number of blocks. With ODBC setting in Essbase Studio, it took me 2.15 hours to load data into my application where only 153 blocks were created with the block size of 24B. Assuming that in my real application the number of Blocks created are going to be at least 1000 times more than this , I need to make some changes in settings. I am transferring the data from Oracle Database, with 5 tables joined to a fact table (view) from the same data source. All the cache settings in Essbase are in default mode. Would changing cache settings, buffer size or multiple threads help to increase the performance? Or what would you suggest that I should do?
Thank you very much.

Hello user13695196 ,
(sorry I no longer remember my system number here)
Before it comes to any optimisation attemps in the essbase (also Studio) environment you should definitily make clear that your source data query performs well at the oracle db.
I would recommand:
1. to create in your db source schema a View from your sql statement (these behind your data load rule)
2. query against this view with any GUI (Sql Developer, TOAD etc.) to fetch all rows and measure the time it takes to complete. Also count the effected (returned) number of rows for your information and for future comparing of results.
If your query runs longer then you think is acceptable then
a) check DB statistiks,
b) check and/or consider creating indexes
c) if you are unsure then kindliy ask your DBA for help. Usually they can help you very fast.
(Don't be shy - a DBa is a human being like you and me :-) )
Only when your sql runs fast (enough for you; or your DBA says is the best you can achieve) at the database move your effort over to essbase.
One hint in addition:
We had often problems when using views for dataload (not only performance but rather other strange behavior) . Thats the reaons why I like more directly to set up on (persistence) tables.
Just to keep in mind: If nothing helps create a table from your view and then query your data from this table for your essbase data load. Normaly however this should be your last option.
Best Regards
(also to you Torben :-) )

Need to import data from DB2 into Essbase

I need to create a Windows process (like a daemon) to constantly check DB2 for updated records and then pull the updated record into Essbase and clean the blocks. Would it be better to:
a) Write a ESSCMD macro with the import command to somehow run constantly
b) Write a Java class that will pull the information with SQL
c) do something else?
Do you have any suggestions for the best way to do this?

What you should do depends on your skills (among other things).. It seems to me that if you write it in Java, you have a whole lot of flexibility that you don't have with scripting languages such as EssCmd or Maxl.
