LCM Account dimension migration fails between applications

Hi all,
We are getting the below error message when we try to migrate the account dimension from one app to another on LCM:
The Hyperion Essbase operation failed with an error code: 1060051.
I know it doesn't say much, but have you seen it before? Which other log files should I look at?
We are on 11.1.2.1.
Thanks,
Mehmet
p.s. I've noticed My Oracle Support has an entry for the same error number 1060051: Planning Refresh Error: "com.hyperion.planning.olap.EssbaseException: xxxx (1060051)" [ID 944970.1]
I will see if these two are related

Thanks John. My plan is to wipe the whole dimension in the target environment and migrate the dimension from the source environment. Do you think there is another way to find out which duplicate member/alias name is causing this issue?
Thanks,
Mehmet

BPC Consolidation Account Dimension - R_ACCT X C_ACCT X O_ACCT X P_ACCT

Hi everyone,
I search for all the forum and I didn't find any explanation about the use of the "standards" accounts on BPC, we are using BPC 7.0 for NW.
Why BPC NW differentiate the dimensions depending on which application are going to be included?
For example BPC NW has four dimensions for the account C_ACCT(consolidation), R_ACCT(rate), P_ACCT(Planning) and O_ACCT(Ownership).
In our consolidation project we have the planning front too so at the end we will have only a group chart of account for both.
Can we maintain only an account dimension or is there a technically requirement to mantain three or more account dimensions?
One for Legal App, one for Ownership App, one for Intercompany Matching App and one for planning?
So we should have to use same dimension, an example the C_ACCT, on all application or we have to use each dimension in their owing application and change them with same data? That's the question.
Could someone explain what would we do in this scenario? Please don't send documentation because on every one we read are saying to use different, but how is the maintenance for that, explain this.
Best Regards
Alexandre

Hello Alexandre,
You cannot use the same account dimension in all these applications, because the Rate and Ownership applications are designed to store currency conversion and ownership related data, so it would make no sense to add a financial chart of account to these applications. You could however use the same CoA between your Consolidation and your ICMatching, the idea to have two different ones is that you only have Intercompany data from some of your accounts and you may also want to use different roll-ups of your account to perform you IC Matching.
Here are the 4 account dimension:
- R_ACCT used in the Rate application, contains type of rates (like "END", "AVG)
- O_ACCT used in the Ownership application, contains method and percentage of consolidations (like "METHOD","PCON","POWN,...)
- C_ACCT used in the consolidation application, containt the financial Char of Account (Balance Sheet, P&L, ...)
- P_ACCT used in the planning application, contains account specific for Planning.
You could share the same CoA between your Consolidaiton and Planning, as long as you can defined a common one that fits both purposes

Failed to migrate EPMA planning application using LCM

Hi all,
I'm working on exalytics migration for planning application(Windows->Linux,EPM 11.1.2.2).
I have successfully completed classic application migration. But for the EPMA planning application, when importing metadata,it failed with the following message:
Error in migrating artifact, "/Application Metadata/Planning Applications/pln1/Local Dimensions/Account".
Couldn't determine the column delimiter for the ads file being imported. When import EPMA planning application using LCM, it failed with: Couldn't determine the column delimiter for the ads file being imported
===========================================================================
Reproduced Step:
@ From the source environment, creat EPMA planning application ,and login to
Shared Services console
1- Export the Application Metadata to the file system - AppMetadata (EPM
Architect -> Application Metadata -> Planning Applications)
2- Shared Services -> Native Directory -> Assigned roles -> Application
3- Application Groups -> Application Name
From the Destination Environment
4- Setup a datasource ready for the new application.
5- Copy the filesystem file to the following folder in destination
environment Hyperion\Common\import_export
@ 6- Login to Hyperion Shared Services and import the filesystem AppMetadata
created earlier, it failed with error:

Could you please help to take a look, and tell me if I missed any step or there is any known issue for this kind of migration?
Thanks,

Thankd for your response.
About the ads file, from log, it should be under /home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/tmp/xxx/completexx.ads, but seems it was deleted, I can't find it.
I checked file "/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/admin0/EPMA-EPM Architect/resource/Application Metadata/Planning Applications/pln1/Local Dimensions/Account", delimiter is "|".

In my planning application.I have 100 members in account dimensions.Those members are used in 100 forms.suddenly my bussiness was changed.so i want replace those 100 members into new name of 100 memebers.but how i can chnage in 100 forms.how to handle

Hi joshi and jharvey,
Thanks for you are reply.I am new for this lcm.Can you explain detail.about above problem.I mean in share service i didn't find any export option.I had seen only migration.or share any blog for detail about lcm.

Migrating EPMA Planning application: Failed to sync with user provisioning

Hi All,
We are migrating applications from Production to Dev. We have one EPMA Planning and one Essbase application in both environments.
We have migrated artifacts into File system in PROD(Shared services, EPMA, Planning, Essbase and Reporting). We have copied and pasted in import_export folder in DEV.
Then we are trying to migrate artifacts into applications from File system in DEV. First we did EPMA artifacts successfully in migration status report then we have deployed application into planning without any errors.(msg showing as in sync deployment). After that we did shared services, it is failed
migration status report error msg:

When i am trying to open the planning application, i am getting error: Failed to sync with user provisioning, check planning log for details

LCM Migration of planning application

Hi All
I am trying to migrate Hyperion Planning Application from one environment to another. The name of the application in both the environment is different i.e. X & Y.
I took an LCM export of application X into the file system and copied the directory generated into the system where application Y resides.
Now I am planning to import this export into application Y.
Do i need to perform some changes as the server IPs are different & name of the applications are also different
Hyperion Planning Version 11.1.1.3
Regards

Do i need to perform some changes as the server IPs are different & name of the applications are also differentNo. You just need to login to Shared Services (Y), select the artifacts you exported from X and execute the migration. I've always thought Ranzal had a perfect blog post on LCM. No, I don't work for them :)

How to use one Account dimension for multiple account structures

We are implementing a HFM application to replace two general ledger applications, one being Corporate and the other a new subsidiary. We need to maintain both of the chart of accounts and their unique rollup structures. We are facing the difficulty in attempting to combine the two chart of accounts into one HFM Account Dimension because a few of the subsidiary accounts have the same account numbers but they are meant different things.
Question:
How can we set up two distinct account structures in HFM and also have the subsidiary accounts rolled into the Corporate accounts for consolidation reporting?
Appreciate your help.

Hope this help.

Account dimension logic

Hi,
I've hit an issue with the length of my calculation exceeding 255. I'd like to add functions to the mdx logic library, but can't seem to figure out the best way to edit the file. I can see that there are logic files in the adminapp folder for each application, however I'm not sure how to edit and validate it. Is there an easy way to edit the files in this folder through the BPC Administrator tool?
Kind Regards,

Great - thanks. I've actually created a copy in my LegalApp and edit it through the Script Logic section and after validating I copy back into the AdminApp Folder - possibly not the best method, but it works at the moment.
Can anyone tell me how to include a calculation in the Account Dimension that is based on another calculation? As far as I am aware the solve_order is only for across dimensions. How do you manage solve order within a dimension? I have a Tuple that I want returned and I then use that account member in another account calculation. When reviewing the results the first calculation returns the value that I expect, but it seems that at execution time the first calculations result does not exist when calculating the second calculation so I get a zero result.
Any ideas? At the moment I am creating a fairly large calculation that recalculates the tuple in the second calculation, but I'd like to avoid this.
Kind Regards,
Fiona

Server 2012 r2 live migration fails with hardware error

Hello all, we just upgraded one of our hyper v hosts from server 2012 to server 2012 r2; previously we had live replication setup between it and another box on the network which was also running server 2012. After installing server 2012 r2 when a live migration
is attempted we get the message:
"The virtual machine cannot be moved to the destination computer. The hardware on the destination computer is not compatible with the hardware requirements of this virtual machine. Virtual machine migration failed at migration source."
The servers in question are both dell, currently we have a poweredge r910 running server 2012 and a poweredge r900 running server 2012 r2. The section under processor for "migrate to a physical computer using a different processor" is already checked
and this same vm was successfully being live replicated before the upgrade to server 2012 r2. What would have changed around hardware requirements?
We are migrating from server 2012 on the poweredge r910 to server 2012 r2 on the poweredge r900. Also When I say this was an upgrade, we did a full re install and wiped out the installation of server 2012 and installed server 2012 r2, this was not an upgrade
installation.

The only cause I’ve seen so far is virtual switches being named differently. I do remember that one of our VMs didn’t move, but we simply bypassed this problem, using one-time backup (VeeamZIP, more specifically).
If it’s one-time operation you can use the same procedure for the VMs in question -> backup and restore them at new server.
Kind regards, Leonardo.

Error Processing "Account" Dimension in BPC 7.5

Good Afternoon,
I am having difficulties processing the account dimension from the Admin function. I can not save to server or process dimension. I get the following log error message. This is impeding my ability to add or change account information. I recently was on maternity leave for 3 months and I am not sure if it is a combination of inactivity coupled with a new PC? I have recently been provided with a new laptop, which I am unsure is configured properly.

We are running BPC 7.5 on a SQL 2008 server, and I wanted to check with the blog before Uninstalling and reinstalling the BPC osoft 7.5 application.
Previously, on my old laptop, I had this capability, and I can run and process all the other dimensions in our list via the Admin feature. I have also tried to refresh dimensions via the BPC EMP add in, and that seems to not throw any error logs, so I am unsure as to what my next step should be.
Plesae advise if I need additional updates to this new computer or if anyone else has seen this error message.
Thank You,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
if you're unsure that your PC isn't well configured please verify this with the 1678822 - Third Party Software Support Matrix For BPC for Microsoft 7.X, 10.X
Then run client and server diagnostic to see if there are problems.
If all ok the dimension file could be corrupted so please change the name of your xls dim file and try to export your dimension, process it and see if ok, if not check the property in the xls dimension file with the modify dimension property in admin console.
Verify also if this note could be helpful 1905831 - SAP Disclosure Management - Uninstalling DM client removes necessary VBE6EXT.OLB file

Account Dimension not showing all members in the cube in Analysis Services

Hi,
         In SAP - BPC 5.1 after processing account dimension all the members are created under account dimension in analysis services but the same cannot be found in the data cube. Hence the reports generated through SAP - BPC is not showing all the members.
         The issue looks very strange as we can see the members getting created but the same is not getting populated in the cubes. I am not able to visualize what exacly the issue is? Is it with the application or with the analysis services?
Thanks
Sharath

Your sixth sense is correct, there is definitely support in MSAS and BPC 5.1 for multiple hierarchies in the account dimension.
I'm also referring to parentH1 and parentH2, but perhaps we're still speaking of different things.
In the past, I faced a very similar problem as you, and the root cause was because I had one member, let's call it FancyParent, which, in H1, had children Child1 and Child2.
But in H2 it had children Child1, Child2 and Child3. I forget now if that was how I wanted the setup to be, or if it was a mistake on my part, but either way, MSAS doesn't allow this. The admin consol didn't complain when processing the dimension -- this was in Outlooksoft 5.0; perhaps validation has improved now.
But the cube was completely unworkable. Certain things were calculating correctly, but everything in the account dimension in the area around FancyParent (above and below it, in both hierarchies) was quite unpredictable.
By disabling first one, and then the other, of the two hierarchies, and disabling blocks of accounts, I was eventually able to pinpoint the problem. But it took days to figure out what was the problem. (The account dimension had 2500 members and 4 hierarchies, and it was not a pretty sight.)
A parent must have the same definition of children in all hierarchies. It can't, as another example, have children in H1, and be a base member in H2. Each member can have different parents in the two hierarchies, but must always have the same children in both.
To work around this problem, I had to create two separate accounts NetIncomeH1 and NetIncomeH2 (and PretaxIncomeH1, PretaxIncomH2, etc. all the way down to the point where they branched off), to get the two separate aggregations of the P&L in the two hierarchies. Once I did that, it made sense to me why, but I also swore off on frivolous extra hierarchies ever again.

Copying dimension members from on application to another in Hyp Planning9.2

I have 2 applications in my planning 9.2 . say X and Y I have loaded all the dimesnsionand its members in X and i want to move one of the dimension and its members to the other application Y which doesnt have that pirticular dimension.
do any of you guys familiar with this scenario and is it possible for me to do that.
is there any laternate for this.
any replies would be appreciated.
thanks.

Hi Clarie,
Your understanding is correct, except that you need to give precise baselevel member in *add_dim as you can not write data to parent member and regarding
AppSource.Account1+AppSource.Account2
This logic will work,
*destination_app = appDestination
//list add_dim,skip_dim,*rename_dim
//assuming name of account dimension in source app is account
*when account
*is account1,account2
rec(acct=account3)
//acct is name of account dimension in destination application
//where account3 is the member of destination application account dimension to which sum of account1 and account2 are to be written
Hope this helps,
Kranthi

Dimension 'Years' failed validation

Hi All,
I am getting this error while deploying the application.
Error : Dimension 'Years' failed validation 'YearMembersSequential' for the following reason(s): Year members must be sequential.
I am seeing my Year dimension is sequential only.
I am not able to figure out the reason for this error . Can anyone please help me understand this.

Not to open a new thread as I have an issue with dimension Year as well, I will post my problem here (hope the author won't mind).
I created a simple EPMA application in version 11.1.2.2 with all mandatory and 2 generic dimensions. One of mandatory dimension is, of course, Year (dimension type: Year) with following members: FY11, FY12, FY13. Initial deployment against both, Planning and Essbase went well. After that I wanted to extend dimension Year for member FY14 and to redeploy the application. Validation was successful, but deployment message was "Completed/With Errors" (100%). Deployment was done with selecting "Refresh outline" and "Full deploy". In deployment log file I have the following entry:
"Consolidation operators for years must be set to Ignore for all plan types."
"Rejecting Member FY14."
This message is clear enough, but the problem is that members that belong to dimension type Year don't even have consolidation operators in properties area.
What else comes to my mind is that (maybe) with version 11.1.2.2 it is not allowed to add new members for dimension Year once application is deployed for the very first time. But in that case, the above error message is quite misleading. Under version 11.1.1.3 it is possible to add new members to dimension Year and to redeploy it without errors.
Is this a bug or a feature?
Has anyone had such problem?
Thanks,
Damir

How to design Flat file for loading attribute dimension in a planning application

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to extract attribute dimensions from an essbase application and load it to another planning application. I have a dimension called Program and two attribute dimensions Sales Manager, Accounts manager associated with Program dimension in Essbase application. I will Extract these dimensions using Essbase outline extractor. After Extracting the attribute dimensions I have to load these dimensions to planning applications using outline load utility. Kindly guide me how to design the flat file for loading attribute dimensions in planning application.
Thanks and Regards
SC

You could dig through the docs and try to figure out the file format manually, or you could do this the easy way. Simply use the Outline Load Utility to export your attribute dimension from Planning. The export file format is the same as the import file format. You might have to manually add a couple of test members to your attribute dimension so that your export file has some content. Then simply update the file you exported, and import it.
(I am assuming you have already manually created the Attribute dimension in Planning, and that you simply need to add members to it.)
Hope this helps,

TIME dimension processing fails saying "..attribute key cannot be found.." in EPM 10

After upgrading from version 7.5 to EPM 10, when we ran a ‘Full Process’ on the TIME dimension, it ran into an error saying “Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: 'dbo_tblFactCapEx', Column: 'TIMEID', Value: '20090013'. The attribute is 'Time_TIMEID'. (1/13/2015 2:41:02 PM)”.
Full error message is attached herewith – ‘Time Dimension Error.txt’
After researching, we did discover that MONTHNUM needed to be converted to BASE_PERIOD. Re-processed which produced the same error.
Prior to migration to version 7.5, we ran a full process on TIME dimension there. It completed successfully, confirming the issue is only with version 10.
Confirmed we could see the TIMEID value of 20090013 in the following places:
Time Dimension in the appropriate TIMEID attribute column.
Confirmed mbrTIME table had base member ID with TIMEID attribute filled out correctly.
Data in tblFactFINANCE could be pulled using that TIMEID
We truncated all the records in all the fact tables associated to this TIME dimension.
Eventually, when none of the tables had any records, the TIME dimension then processed successfully.
We this began to suspect the issue may not really be related to bad records.
We conducted one more test to confirm this.
Using an input form in EPM 10, we manually entered data in one of the models (at this point none of the fact tables have any records)
Ran Full Optimize on that model with Compress Database and Index Defragmentation checked – This step failed with the error attached in ‘MatrixRateFullOptimize.txt’
Ran Full process on Time Dimension – Failed indicating issue with TimeID 2012001 (that’s my manual entry). Attached error report ‘TimeDim Error MatrixRate.txt’
At this point, the table only contains the manually entered records (no suspected bad records)
We then suspected there could have been an issue with the upgrade process.
So we reprocessed all the dimension and optimized all the models in version 7.5, made a new backup and restored it to version 10.
The issue still persisted!
At this point, we have tried all the possibilities we could think of. Each time the fact table is populated with records, the TIME dimension process fails indicating ‘the attribute key’ cannot be found.
There is probably something in the OLAP partition that is not able to link the dimension attributes to the cubes.
Additional Information:
Please find attached the existing Time Dimension – TimeDimensionMembers.xlxs
Version of Excel used: Excel 2007, SP3 MSO (12.0.6683.5000)
System Specs: Please see screenshot below.

Thank you all for responding! This issue is resolved.
Here’s what the issue was:
The time structure is TOTAL >> Years >> Quarters >> Months (e.g. T.ALL >> 2012.TOTAL >> 2012.Q1 >> 2012.P01)
As shown in the screenshot below, the LEVEL for ‘T.ALL’ member was set to YEAR, which is incorrect (we can’t have Year rolling up to a Year)
We changed the LEVEL to ‘TOTAL’ and this fixed the issue!!
If only it gave a better error message than the “..attribute key not found” message
