Doing OBIEE with Essbase as datasource, anybody who has experience?

Hello guys
Does anybody have good experience dealing with essbase data on OBIEE? Essbase doesn't seem to be a relational database like oracle, data are stored as cube. One cube contains dimesion and fact attributes with hierarchical levels defined in essbase.
I don't have experience dealing with these type of scenario, therefore I run into a lot of issues when I try to create report on answers..
Typically, when I apply any conversation functions or "SQL expression" values on date column filters or contents (such as cast(column as date), or filter on current_date on SQL Expressions) and create reports with measures, I get errors: [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
If create reports only with date column alone with the above applied, I get errors like inconsistent data type or something..
I believe that for some reasons when OBIEE sends the query to essbase and get converted into MDX, something got lost in translations.
With the same environment, I imagine if I were to create some dynamic variables with select statement, it will also not work since there is no "column" and "table" in essbase the same way as in relational database. So how would I define dynamic variables with max sales or something?
So is there any help I can get in terms of dealing with essbase on obiee?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Without access to the rpd you're not going to get far. Yes, you can achieve both things, but it will mean writing MDX and to use MDX in both the filters and the columns is not something I'd recommend since you'll be facing loads of issues.
Date filter:
The "normal" function you're using won't work. That's for sure. You will have to wrap the whole thing into an EVALUATE and write MDX...like the Lag function I mentioned before. If your time dimension is just taken over from Essbase in the normal drag-and-drop way, then it won't be a full "time dimension" anyway.
A column formula along the lines of this:
EVALUATE('[Time Period].[2009-04-15].Lag(7)')
Measure calculation:
Again, without access to the rpd this will be pretty hard to do due to the question where the aggregation actually happens. Venkat wrote about that recently.

OBIEE with Essbase as datasource-what I need to know

I am getting into a project where Essbase is the datasource. I know nothing about Essbase but I an experienced OBIEE prof. Can anyone tell me the things I need to know about integrating Essbase with OBIEE, using Essbase cubes in obiee. I looking for some basic fundamentals of Essbase so I could successfully use Essbase cubes with OBIEE.
I find lot of materials online but not sure what I need to know for using Essbase as datasource for OBIEE. Any insight / links would be of lot of help. Thanks a million

It really depends on what you plan to do and which products in the stack you're going to use for what. If you intend to use Essbase as an aggregation layer to speed up you analysis, then you should look into learning more about fine-tuning your Essbase applications in terms of data loads, aggregation, optimizing calculations,...in terms of languages MDX and MaxL.
If you're looking to integrate applications like Workspace as well then you'll have to look at those as well.
Both areas are vast in terms of applications and functionalties so I'd suggest learning the basics and then deepening your know-how according to needs.

Erro While connecting OBIEE with Essbase : Essbase Error 1030019

Hi Experts,
I am trying to connect to Essbase using OBIEE.
I am getting error when i try to Import from Multi-Dimensional .
It get a poppup as "Essbase Error 1030019".
Could you please suggest how to overcome.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi All,
I am loggin in OBIEE as an administrator.
if there is version mismatch in client and server.by this do you mean that version of Essbase in OBIEE is not matching with the version of Essbase from where we are fetching the data.
Please let me know if this is the case and what will be its remedies.
Cheers,
Andy

Thanks,

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.

Single-Sign with Essbase and WebLogic

Hi,I am trying to achieve a single sign-on between my WebLogic application and Essbase. I am looking at the new security platform API but I don't quite understand how that achieves single sign-on.The API requires me to authenticate the user with a username/password first before I can get the token, but the user is already authenticated by WebLogic and there is no way to get the password (SSL with form authentication).Does the security platform not cover this scenario? Thanks,- Robert

For System 9, I think SiteMinder comes close to what the OP wants, but it does not apply to fat client tools.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_cas_help/ch02s03.html for the encouraging bits and http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_cas_help/ch02s03s01.html for the discouraging bits.
But it comes close.
System 11 expands the number of SSO hosts, but alas, also seems to not support fat clients: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_security/cas_help.htm
So, access to Workspace is easy, but the classic add-in and SV are still not there.

OBIEE with Netezza and Oracle

I am trying to do multi-sourcing using Netezza and Oracle. I need to connect to Netezza and Oracle both as datasource and create Dashboard reports. Is it possible to use Netezza and Oracle both simultaneously? I have the connection for oracle and its working fine, but how do I add Netezza connection to the existing rpd and merge it in the business layer. Do I need a specific driver for that or any settings to be done?

Yes we can do that.
To connect to Netezza via ODBC, a Netezza ODBC driver must be downloaded and installed. Next, an ODBC data source must be set up via the Windows data sources control panel. See the following link for more information on how to set up an ODBC data source:

Hi,
Yes, essbase could help make your reports faster, but it depends also on the cube design. Essbase allows you to calculate all the upper levels and store it. This is (2+2=4), essbase stores 2 and 2 and 4 so then you can go and read the total with the report without having to calculate it wihle the user is retreiving the data. This is a good advantage of essbase.
About #2, no one can tell you if you should or should not use Informatica as that depends on each company. You can use OBIEE with Essbase and you will need a place to store the data that Essbase will then pull up. It could be any DB you want...
Hope this helps.

OBISE One on a Hyperion Essbase and Planning environment

Since it seems a bit quiet over on the OBISE forum, I decided to give the trusted OBIEE forum a go.
I've been working with OBIEE for a number of years. I was asked today if one can use OBISE One 11g on an Essbase or Planning environment and what limitations there are. I've worked with OBIEE on Essbase and Planning, but I've never used OBISE One before.
Has anyone here tried it out on Essbase or Planning? Are there any issues I should know about? Despite the obvious missing components and reduced pricing, any advantages/disadvantages of using OBISE One over OBIEE?
Thanks

Hi John,
Thank you for your reply..sorry for the incomplete information..This is windows XP OS .
Yes after running the installtool.bat , i am not getting any screen.
What I did was ..after downloading the software, i manually copied all the folders that are available in assemblies folder(essbase , planning , foundation dowloads etc) in to systeminstaller -> assemblies folder and I hit the installtool. As you said now I will unzip all the zip and I will keep it in one home directory and I will try...Please correct me If I am wrong...
Thank You!!!

Essbase and NAS

Is anyone using Essbase with network attached storage. With Essbase and/or databases stored on NAS drives. We just started doing this and are experiencing unexpected slowness in processing times.

If you are doing a clean upgrade then all you'll need to do is uninstall the excel add-in from 6.5 and then reinstall the 11.1.2.1 version of excel add-in.

OBIEE report with HFM and Essbase Data source

Hi All,
Just want your though can we get the data from HFM and Essbase data source in a single report i.e. for some account i want to show budget data from HFM and Forecast data from essbase in a single OBIEE report? If yes how can we model both Data source in rpd?

It possible but the challenge is to try to align the account hierarchy and the entity hierarchy between Essbase and HFM. HFM is looking the data at a top side consolidation level where planning will have more granular details to forecast correctly. The best solution is either to build a custom table in to import both sources, or to use HFM data into Essbase, or to use EPMA. The best in class solution stays to align hierarchies and metadata across applications. We implemented BI Financials Dashboard for the General Ledger, built a custom Dashboard connected in Real Time to Planning and are installing OFMA to connect HFM. Once done, you can rationalize metadata if not done before and start to link the different data into single reports. You will also have to ensure the data is refreshed at the same time to avoid inconsistency.

Sum Aggregation Error in Physical & BMM Layer in OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11

Hi everyone,
I'm using OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11 as the data source. I'm using Sample Basic database from the Essbase as my data source. If I'm using the hierarchy for the measures (so I don't flatten the measures), and when I changed the aggregation in both physical and BMM layer from Aggregate_External to Sum, I can't create a report at all from the Answers.
Does anyone encounter the same thing? Any ideas/solution about this? Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Deepak,
When I picked the "Basic - measure" alone, I got this error.

When I picked the "Gen1,Measures" alone from the measure dimension, I got this error:

But when I queried the dimensions one by one (only single dimension each), no error was shown.
This only happens if I use Sum in the physical and BMM layer. If I use External_Aggregation, these errors do not happen. And if I flatten the measures, these errors also do not happen.

OBIEE 11g and Essbase and Dimension Filter / Selection Steps

We are doing a prototype using OBI 11g with Essbase 11.1.2 as a datasource. Our prototype consist of several reports, graphs and dashbaords. The Essbase cube is an ASO cube with 12 dimensions. Most of our dimensions are ragged/unbalanced so we have set up the dimension type to be "Value" in the RPD. There is one dimension - Product and it is a ragged dimension. We are trying to create a simple report that has level zero products as rows. This is something pretty easy to do in Essbase Financial Reporting but it does not look like there is an easy way to filter only on the Level 0 members of a particular dimension. I have tried with selection steps as well as changing the dimension back to unbalanced without much luck.
Has anyone out there done something similar before? Thx.

Hi user,
Check this out OBIEE 11g - Essbase connection Failed
And 1 more thing admin tool works only for 32-bit ...but not in 64 bit.So ensure you install 32-bit for admin tool.
UPDATED POST
Jacob->its same for stand alone application also,it works only on 32-bit
hope helps you.

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
