Length of member name

Hi All,
Is there any function available by which we can get the length of the member.
Thanks

It depends on how/where you wan to use it.
In MDX you would use LEN(). You could use this in a member formula in an ASO database, or you could use it in an MDX query against both ASO and BSO databases.
I am not aware of a Calc script function to do this, but you could create a custom function to do it.

  • Maximum length of member name in mapping

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to migrate live data from Essbase to HFM version 11.1.1.3 using FDM. Maximum length of the member name of source accounts in Essbase that I have to load is upto 74 characters. What is the maximum permitted length of member names in FDM to be used in mappings?
    I was able to load the mappings that I have created into FDM using a map loader but after the map import whenever I click on any item in the map area, a page displays saying 'Application error'. When I delete all the maps, the error goes away so I guess its some issue with the length of the source account member.
    I checked the IIS logs and in the maps log I found a line saying the length of source accounts has exceeded the limit. Any suggestions about what I am trying to achieve can be done? I can not tweak anything at the Essbase side as its a live application. Please suggest.
    Thanks & Regards!

    FDM supports 75 characters in the source & target fields (v 11.1.2).
    You may have restricted characters in your member names. Check the admin guide for a list.
    And yes, this is possible. I've done it a number of times. Sorry for the brevity but hopefully this gets you moving forward.

  • How to increase member name length in essbase studio

    Hi All,
    Currently we have requirement to build a hierarchy which contains member having length more than 80 characters.
    I seen somewhere where the member name limitation is 80.
    Can someone help me out how to build the hierarchy with long member name
    Thanks,
    SatyaB

    You would have a hard time containing your comments into a cube especially because they are so freeform. You said you are using Studio to create your cube. Create a drill through report that when users are at a selected intersection of data, the can execute a drill through report to get additional detail. For instance in addition to the comments column, there might be other information on the table they would want to see. You can select what columns get returned.
    For example, I've jusr drill through in a GL cube to get back to the Journal Entries. It allowed the users to see all sorts of things, like all the JEs for a cost center, who created them, comments, currency conversion done fromn the source system, when they were posted, etc.
    Because they are not in the cube, it makes the cube a lot cleaner.

  • Validation Rule Error :Invalid Member Name In Lookup ({|0|}) value

    Please provide you inputs.

    I have not looked closely, but C1 is showing as "Missing Value". Have you checked to see if [None] is a valid member for the account you have selected (TotalLiabilities)?

  • How can I pass value based on member names in a script in 11.1.1.3

    I want to pass a value to only those members of CostCenter dimension which has "5" in their name.
    Eg.
    C12345100
    C34565210
    C34217890
    So in the above case the value should exist only in the above 2 cost centers.
    Can someone guide me in the right direction to accomplish this ?
    Thanks in advance

    Just now I got more clearance on the requirement.
    I want to create blocks only on the selected Cost Centers & Business Unit combination.
    I have the following members in both these dimensions
    Cost Centers
    C12345980
    C12345981
    C12345982
    Business Unit
    BU5980
    BU5981
    BU5555
    Now I want to pass a value to one of the dense dimension members from Measure dimension (member name = CrtBlk) to only those CCs & BUs where the last 4 digit matches.
    So in this case it will be for only the first 2 cost centers.
    Thanks in advance.

  • List of avaliable MDX properties / Always show member name instead of alias

    Hi all,
    does anyone know if there is a list of ALL available MDX properties which can be used in an MDX query with Essbase?
    There is a very small list in the technical documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/mdx_properties.htm), however I know there are a lot more properties.
    E.g. one property which is not documented is ANCESTOR_NAMES:
    WITH MEMBER [Year].[dummy] AS '0', SOLVE_ORDER = 0
    SELECT {[Year].[dummy]} on columns,
    [Account].Members properties ANCESTOR_NAMES on rows
    FROM [App.Db];
    Anyone knows if there is such a list?
    And another question:
    The Query always brings up the alias of the members (e.g. [Account].Members). Is there a way that per default the member name instead of the alias is used? Without using the MEMBER_NAME property?
    Essbase version: 11.1.1.3
    Thanks

  • Backup 3.1 V356 .Mac member name or password is not set

    Hello,
    I recently changed my .Mac Password and since I have done so, backup fails with .Mac member name or password is not set when I try and backup my personal data to my iDisk.
    I read on the Backup help to delete all associations with .Mac in the Keychain, which I did (I had this error before deleting the Keychain error: Invalid .Mac user name or password
    Unable to complete backup at this time.) I believe I deleted all of them and now how the Member name or password is not set. My way of trying to fix this was by going to the finder and clicking on the iDisk. I did this, it prompted me for the Username and Password, I re-opened backup and still no joy.
    Can anybody else think of anything?
    Do I need to delete backup and re-install it or something?

    Things to try
    System Preferences in the Internet section, under the Account table, re-enter your .mac email address and password
    On your hard drive go to Library/Keychain and see if there are any values for .mac

  • Can we use Aliases instead of member name in Calc Manager

    We migrated business rules to Calc Manager. After migration Calc Managers are not getting validated (stating the member is missing in the database). Later found out that in the script it has alias name instead of member name which was causing this error.
    example
    Member name = C001
    Alias = Texas
    in the script it is mentioned Texas = 5; (this statement throws an error while validating, stating Texas is not present in the outline, even though Texas is present in the Alias table as an alias for C001).
    Once I modify the script to C001 = 5; it gets validated without any issue.
    Does this mean in Calc Manager we cannot use Aliases unlike business rules and Calc Scripts?
    Please advice.

    The 'Defects Fixed' section of the release notes for 11.1.2 includes...
    "Calculation scripts validate inconsistently in Essbase and Calculation Manager (8800397)."
    ...which is pretty broad!
    Can you run the rules OK? If so, I'd just ignore the Calculation Manager validation message.

  • File naming on Russian and limitation on length of file names

    Hi.
    I post this message as a note for any users for whom English is not native language and in everyday practice they use native language on Linux systems.
    Torrents and Linux
    System:
    OS: Archlinux x86_64
    FS: Reiserfs
    Locale: UTF-8
    Client: rtorrent
    torrent: http://torrents.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1445641
    Problem:
    if one try to download this torrent with the help of rtorrent he see message
    Hashing: Storage error: [Hash checker was unable to map chunk: Слишком длинное имя файла]
    (this in on Russian, on English this is: 'File name too long')
    Namely rtorrent couldn't handle this file
    Белов А. В. - Микроконтроллеры AVR в радиолюбительской практике. Автоматика. Радиоэлектроника. Связь. Радио. Радиосвязь. Любительская радиосвязь.(2007)(336).djvu
    (on Russian again).
    The same message prints Transmission when one try to download this particular file.
    Reason:
    the name is exceeded the limitation on length of file name: 255 bytes. See, e.g.
    $ echo 'Белов А. В. - Микроконтроллеры AVR в радиолюбительской практике. Автоматика. Радиоэлектроника. Связь. Радио. Радиосвязь. Любительская радиосвязь.(2007)(336).djvu' | wc -c
    279
    The problem doesn't depend on type of FS, it is in Linux kernel (Linux VFS). Reiserfs has limit in 4032 bytes on length of file name, Reiser4 has limit in 3976 bytes.
    In this case NTFS is more advanced FS:
    the limitation on length of file name is 255 UTF-16 code units (255*2 bytes).
    Of course if one use 8-bit locale (e.g. cp1251, koi8-r and etc) then this problem for THIS file is not appeared:
    echo 'Белов А. В. - Микроконтроллеры AVR в радиолюбительской практике. Автоматика. Радиоэлектроника. Связь. Радио. Радиосвязь. Любительская радиосвязь.(2007)(336).djvu' | iconv -f utf-8 -t koi8-r | wc -c
    162
    Nevertheless there is no guarantee that someone won't face with longer named files and in that situation the advantage of NTFS against any Linux FS is evident.
    Info about FS limitation is taken from wikipedia.
    I would glad to hear comments and suggestions about this particular problem (because I don't know how to download files of this torrent and store them on my Linux box).
    P.S. As I understand FreeBSD has the same problem in this case.
    P.P.S. I think that this problem could appear for example on Linux which serves as samba server (file server) when windows user want to place file with native alphabet letters in name on server.

    This is a reported bug.

    please help to show me how to show full length (50 chars) on those reports or which report should i use to see full length of Vendor name !?

    In my ASO cube - I need to change both a level 0 and parent member name in EAS. Is it as easy as edit member properties and typing in the new name? Does the existing data follow? Also, does going from lower case to upper case create a similar change in the outline?

Also, does going from lower case to upper case create a similar change in the outline?you can also use rule file to change the alias name if you are trying to change the alias name in bulk, but if you have to do for few members then goto edit member properties and change the alias it will be an easy process,
    change of alias name doesnot harm your datayes going from Lower Case to Upper Case create similar change to outline

  • Reading data from a text file into PAS - Dimension member names truncated

    Hi,
    I created a procedure to dump variables and data into a text file to load into another model. I used a semicolon as a field seperator.
    The data, measures and dimension members are dumped properly into a text file and no dimension member names are truncated .
    However when I read the data into  a measure, and I issue a peek command, dimension meber names are read in truncated
    and remain full names in the text file. Any reason for this? What do I need to do to prevent this from happening?
    THanks.
    Lungile

    Hi Lungile,
    The problem that you're likely having is that you haven't created a file description for the file from which you're reading.  When loading data into Application Server from a text file, you would normally go through three steps:
    1. Enter the ACCESS EXTERNAL subsystem
    2. Specify the name of the file to be read
    3. Specify the format of the file field names, types, widths, and positions.
    If you go into the Application Server help, select "Application Server Help", then "Application Server at the command level", then "Variables and reading in data", and then "Reading an external file", you will have the process of the steps you need to follow outlined for you, including links to the help topic for each command you need to issue.
    So what I think you need to do is use the DESCRIPTION command to specify the names of your fields, their type, and also their width, in order to ensure no truncation of data on the load.
    The same DESCRIPTION statement is required if you want to use your text file as the source of a dimension.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert
