Importing Essbase cube in OBIEE

Hi Experts,
I have imported the Essbase cube in to the OBIEE physical layer but the attribute dimension and the base dimension are not mapped.
Please let me know how I can map the base dimension and the attribute dimension of Essbase cube in BMM layer.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for all your responses.
Apparently it turns out that the Accounts dimension Hierarchy needs to be changed to type 'Value' for the measures to start working.

Windows error when importing Essbase cube into OBIEE

Hi all:
This question is perhaps more relevant to the OBIEE forum, but I put it up there a few days ago and got no response. So now I'm hoping to get some help on this side of BI land!
My issue is that I'm trying to import an Essbase cube (system 11) into BI Admin Tool, but whenver I go to "Import from multidimensional" and hit "OK" after entering in the essbase server name and log/pwd, the BI Admin tool crashes. I get no error msg except for a couple of errors I see in the Windows event log:
1. Faulting application path: C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\AdminTool.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essapinu.dll
2. Faulting application path: C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\AdminTool.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
I'm running a standalone OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on my local machine (Windows 7 32-bit) and the Essbase Server is on a separate Windows 2008 machine. I can ping between machines and all ports are open on the Essbase machine, so I don't think this is a network related issue. Also, my OBI RPD is working fine in all other respects. I have other data sources working in there with no trouble. My Essbase server is also working fine. I also tried to do this in a new RPD in case the old one was corrupted, but get the same issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Akshay

Akshay,
You must have the Essbase client installed on the same machine where your OBI Administration Tool is installed. This should get you past the error that you are receiving and should fix your problem. Since you are running 32-bit just download the 32-bit Essbase client from Oracle. You will most likely need to run download the required files to install the Essbase client and with Hyperion 11x you should be familiar with that required software matrix since you have Essbase running on a seperate server already.
But now looking at your post I see that you state that one of the paths in your error is C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essapinu.dll. The path C:\Oracle\Middleware is usually seen in Hyperion EPM 11.1.2. So, are you running Essbase 11.1.2 and OBIEE 10g or are you running OBIEE 11g? You'll need to specificy as OBIEE 11g can only interface with Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2 at present. And if I recall correctly the 11.1.2 Essbase client does not work with OBIEE 10g. Please clarify on these points.
Let me know if that helps fix your issue. If that doesn't fix it post back here and we see if we can keep you going forward.
Don't forget to reward points.

Followed this [blog |http://www.rittmanmead.com/2008/02/01/obiee-hybrid-olap-reporting-using-ms-analysis-services-oracle/] to be able to import analys services 2008 cube in obiee. But when try to import a cube in obiee i get the following message: nqserror 46100: sax parser failed with error expected whitespaces
what i exactly did:
1) download en installed the XML for Analysis SDK
SSI:
1) i created a connection pool --> named it xmla and click ok
2) add a new virtual directory --> alias: xmla , physical path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft XML For Analysis SDK\isapi
3) right click on my virtual directory --> convert to application : set the application pool to the one i just created.
4) double click "handler mapping" --> add script map --> request map = *.dll, excutable msxisapi.dll, name = xmla, do you wat to allow this asapi extension --> i clicked yes
5) authentication --> ananomous is enabled by default
obiee:
import --> analys service 2000 --> url i used http://localhost/xmla/msxisapi.dll
import --> analys service 2005 --> url i used http://localhost/xmla/msxisapi.dll
When trying things out i also set the physical path credentials: username/pass. But still doesn't work...
Hope some can guide me throw a good working obiee import or give me some new ideas.... tnx in advanced....
UPDATE:
I've got the iis working oke now. The error above has to something, that the URl i reference to could not be found. Now when testing IIS I get the xml back in my browser. When trying in in obiee, it gives me the error:

Imported essbase cube into Oracle BI

Hi all,
Environment : Oracle BI EE and Oracle Hyperion Essbase 11.1.3
I have created Oracle BIEE dashboards using ESSBASE cube as source
I am following the below steps :
Step 1 : from Administrative Tool i imported essbase cube into the physical layer
Step 2 : i drag the cube in to the Business Model layer and Presentation Layer
Step 3 : while creating Oracle BI dashboards in Answers(Presentation Service), Metadata is perfectly Comming but the Measure values should always be empty.
I followed the link for creating and configuring the the Oracle BIEE Dashboards with Oralce Hyperion Essbase 11.1.3

i am facing the problem to get the Amount Values, So i need help to Achive this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Mano

Have you set the dimension in your Essbase cube that stores the data facts (Amount Values) as an "Accounts" dimension? If not, do that. You'll need to re-import the whole thing in the BI Administration tool again and then drag it across to the BMM and Presentation layers.

Problem with Integration Essbase cube with obiee

Hi Everyone,
I am in a OBIEE where i need to use Essbase cubes as source for generating OBIEE reports.I am able to import the cube successfuly into Physical layer and when i drag it into BMM layer its getting splitted up into Facts,dimensions and hierachies. No measure in fact table of cube in BMM layer. What i got to know was all the meaures what all needed for reporting are into one hierachy and when i get it into BMM layer its getting converted into Dimension. Here i tried to generate reports by making dimension as fact but no use.
Please suggest me ,any other ways to get it.

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):

Importing Essbase into OBI

Has anyone heard of a case where BI Admin Tool crashes when trying to connect to an Essbase Server for importing a cube? I have OBIEE 10.1.3.4 split across two machines, BI Server on a Linux virtual machine and BI Admin Tool on my local Windows workstation. When I launch the Admin Tool in online mode and try to connect to my Essbase server (via multi-dimensional import), the tool just crashes. In the Windows event log it says that the faulting module path is: : C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essapinu.dll
Any ideas? Is it because I need to run the Admin Tool from the same machine as BI Server, so that it uses the Essbase client libraries on that machine?

Essbase cube Import error

Hello,
I'm trying to Import Essbase cubes into RPD through File->Import->from Multi-dimensional.. using Oracle BI Administration Tool, but its giving the error 'Login fails due to invalid login credentials'.
I'm able to connect to 'Essbase Administration Services' using the same credentials. Do I need to do any configurations to import cubes into the OBIEE rpd. Can anyone tell me how to fix this error.
Thank You,

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply. Here are the details for your points mentioned,
1. OBIEE -10.1.3.4, Essbase Client 9.3.1(Installed in the client machine to access Essbase cubes), Hyperion Server Version- 9.3.1
2. Yes I'm able to see the cube outline and variables and there are no errors. Also I'm trying to import the Sample cube which comes with the installation of Hyperion applications
3. I'm connecting through the 'admin' user who have full rights
Please let me know anyother things I need to check.
Thank You,

Update member count error for essbase cube

Whenever i import a cube from essabse into obiee. i get the following error when i click on "update member count" on any member in the Physical layer of the obiee administration.
this problem comes even if i import a different cube, meaning this is not due to essbase error.

kindly help!!

i am using version 11.1.1.3
i have created an holap cube in Essbase integration services. i have created olap model using rdbms source in the EIS. however i am unable to access the rdbms level(hybrid analysis enabled) data of the essbase cube in obiee.

Sort in date order from Essbase cube source

Hi everyone,
I have an Essbase cube which I'm displaying the data from in OBIEE. Within the cube one of the dimensions is a date ( set as a time dimension ).
It has several generations:
Gen2 - Year, 2010
Gen3 - Year/Quarter, 2010/Q1
Gen4 - Year/Month, 2010/01
Gen5 - Day/Month/Year, 26/01/2010
If I produce a report filtered on the Year, say 2009, and display the full date, it puts all twelve 1st's of the month first, then the 2nds, and so on. I can resolve this by putting the Year/Month field into the report and sort on that, then the full date, but I really only want the date in chronological order.
Can anyone advise on the best way to achieve this?
Thanks to all in advance.

Generation 5 is DD/MM/YYYY

And this is one of the reasons why OBIEE/Essbase integration is still #1 on the [Dont Try This At Home Kids|http://majendi.blogspot.com/2009/06/dont-try-this-at-home-kids.html] list.
One of the most basic facts about the current integration - which is often disregarded - is that dimension levels and hence their contained members come across as pure VARCHARs. Sort order-wise this gives you a standard alpha-numeric sort order by default.
However there's a workaround which we discussed just last week: Oracle BI import Essbase cube (problem on the months)
Essbase defines the sort order. Otherwise it's alpha-numeric.

Show key content of essbase cube in BIEE

After importing Essbase cube into BI admin tool, I can query its content in BI Answer.
But when I display the dimensional content(says, Gen5,Loc1), it displays Alias content rather than the key content. What should I do in BI admin tool to show the key content? or are any settings required in Essbase?

That's expected behaviour. As soon as there's an Alias, it gets used. Otherwise, it defaults back to the acutal member name.
Yes, you can change this, but only for the lowest level of the hierarchy. We discussed this already some times togehter with the alternatives.
Here's the official modelling guide BTW: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/pdf/obiee-essbase-modeling-guide.pdf --> 7.3 on page 19.

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?

OBIEE 11.1.1.6 with Essbase Cube

Hi,
Anyone using Essbase cube as data source for OBIEE 11.1.1.6? which port should be open in Essbase server for OBIEE admin tool to import metadata?
When we use publisher for reporting, it is very slow with Essbase cube? anyone has issues here also
Thank you.
BCHK

Hi,
By default port no :1423 (Essbase) and for obiee (9704)
can you try to use 1423 also try
To finding the port no just login to your weblogic console(FMW) the
http://IP:7001/console ---> then go to Home-->servers-->here you can Admin Server/bi_Server are listed out with port no.just find it.
P.S: we just open firwal for below port no just fyi..
TCP(9703,9704,9705,9710,9810,80,443,1433,1423,8080,389,7001,7002,7003) ports

Satya,
Have you done anything to modify the essbase drill logic within your BMM?
Remember when modeling essbase you should just try to use the defaults first to ensure that all works correctly the first time through. Then you can adjust any hiearchies, federate, etc.

Essbase Cube import to Oracle

Doees anyone know how I can write code to import an Essbase cube into Oracle?

Hi
The problem you have is that Essbase is a cubed database so trying to access it using a database link from Oracle is going to be difficult. Does Essbase provide an ODBC connector? If it does you might be able to use the Oracle database's heterogenous services to connect. Basically you would be creating a database link to the Essbase database using ODBC.
As I day, where I see difficulties are in the look and feel of Essbase, because its not a SQL database, and in obtaining an ODBC connector.
As for scheduling an export from Essbase, you'd have to check with them on that. Most databases have such a feature so I would suspect there must be a way. Have you tried asking Hyperion about exporting and for an ODBC connector?
Best wishes
Michael
