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):

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.

Integrating Essbase cubes with Oracle Tables in BI Server

I'm trying to link together data from an aggregated Essbase Cube with some static table data from our oracle system. Both the essbase and oracle data exist correctly in their own right in the physical, business and presentation levels. Aggragted data is client sales, static data is client details
Within the OBIEE Administration tool I've tried to drag the physical oracle table for clients onto the clients essbase section in the business area, and it seems to work OK, until you try and report on them together and I get the following error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
Can anyone advise on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Thanks Christian I found some very useful articles (one or two by you) - I'll have to look harder on the net before posting.
One thing I found out, with respect to vertical federation, that others may benefit from, is that I fuond it much easier to start from the most detailed level and then attach the less detailed source rather start with the less detailed and add the additional on.

Connecting SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g

Hello experts,
I'm trying to link an SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g.
In Oracle BI Administration, when I choose File -> Import -> From
Multi-dimensional, I have to fill the next gaps:
Provider Type: Analysis Services 2005
URL: ***********
User: blank
Password: blank
Before to do that, I need to create the URL path.
To create the URL, I have followed this link.
http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2008/08/obiee-connection-to-msas-2005-
cube.html
But, it hasn't worked because when I was trying to configure the HTTP
access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, we have to perform a test to ensure that it has been well configured. In IIS -> WebSites -> Default WebSites -> olap, we should browse the document called "msmdpump.dll" and this should show an xml document, but it doesn't.
Thanks!

Hi Alex
It sounds like your MS data pump might not be configured correctly. First ensure that is working before trying to put the values into OBIEE. Don't worry about the 500 error - I get that too instead of an XML page.
You can read a bit more about SSAS support on my blog here:

Here's the link to Microsoft's description of setting up msmdpump.dll

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.
Cheers,
Christian

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.

Integrating Cognos Cubes into OBIEE

Hello,
Is there any way to integrate cognos cubes+ into OBIEE and use them in OBIEE..?
Thanks in Advance..

No direct one for the time being. You can't import Cognos metadata into the rpd like you would for Essabse or MS Analysis Services.

Essbase cubes with different levels of detail - OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on LINUX

Hi all,
I have BSO and ASO cubes which contain broadly the same information, but with the ASO cube at much higher detail. For simplicity sake, they only have 1 dimension, and 1 fact. The dimension a date and is structured like:
Gen2 = year
Gen3 = year & quarter
Gen4 = year & month
Gen5 = year, month & day
Only the ASO cube has Gen5. the BSO cube only has the information to Gen4 level.
I've imported them both into the RPD and dragged the ASO cube across into the BMM. and then taken the fact column from the BSO cube and dropped it onto the BMM, selected its new source ( the BSO cube ) and set the
Content tab and set the logical level as Gen4.
I then dragged the key items from the BSO date hierachy onto the date dimension in the BMM.
I purposely had a slightly different date hierachy and data content in the 2 cubes so I could tell where it was getting the data from.
If I select the year only...it gets the value from the BSO, and if I drill down to quarter and month it also gets the dates from the BSO cube.
If I select the data fact, it will switch to the ASO cube and retrieve the value from there.
Same applies if I select just the year - data comes in from the ASO cube.
So my question is this, how do I get it to select the data facts from the less detailed cube when the details is not required and only switch to the ASO cube when the extra detail is needed?
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Data fact with 2 sources, where source 1 & 2 have differing levels of detail, it always seems to take the data from the more detailed source

Issue while integrating external LDAP with weblogic

Hi,
i am trying integrating external LDAP (OpenLdap) with weblogic 10.3. I created a provider and provided required credentials and able to see users and group of the LDAP into the weblogic console. I am also able to login in the weblogic console with the users available in the LDAP after assigning the admin role to the ldap group. But i when i see the user's property (by clicking on the user in the admin console) it only shows the tabs for General, Password and Group only. on the other hand if i see the users from DefaultAuthenticator, it shows the Attribute tab apart from the General, Password and Group.
Can anyone let me knwo how can we get the Attribute tab for the Ldap users.
thx,
Ajay

Hi Ajay
By default Weblogic has READ ONLY adapters for any External Security Providers that are configured like any AD Providers. READ ONLY means, you can only read the data from the ldap but not modify it, hence may be its not showing the Attributes tag. For Default Authenticator, see the first paragraph note in Attributes tab, that says the same thing. NOW, may be WLS can atleast show Attributes in READ only format, but it needs some sort of mappings to be defined. Say on Weblogic side, we have like firstName, lastName which on any typical AD will be like sn (surname = lastname), givenname (firstname) etc etc. This mapping is tough to generalize.
One thing for sure is, from Weblogic you cannot modify or edit any attributes for any user in external AD. If you really want to get those attributes, you may need to use some javax.ldap apis or some 3rd party ready to use tools/apis. I remember Weblogic Portal has a facility to configure a xml file that defines attributes mapping and get all attributes for any user. But again thats in Weblogic Portal product and not part of weblogic server.
If you have any SOA Software, they have some utilities for the same.
Thanks
