Load rules generate by Essbase Studio

I'm using Essbase Studio to create dimension build load rules in Essbase. When the dimension load rules are created in Essbase, does it use the ODBC connection in the Essbase server or in Essbase Studio?

It depends on if you are using streaming or non-streaming mode. If streaming mode then it has to be on the Essbase server if non-streaming mode then it goes through the Studio server

Loading the data from essbase studio to the cube

I am building application using Essbase studio 11.1.2
I have been able too create the hierarchies, but I am not clear on the process of assigning the data piece.
In this instance all data is in a table named “FullPolicyCount”
What is the process for a successful load of the data to the cube
Please advise

Hi,
take a look into psa data. The key is defined by the request, the record number, the data packet and the change indic. Use the same key for your ods/dso and you will get all records to your ods/dso. Use update mode overwrite for the keyfigures (but just because it is the default). With the obove mentioned key it doesn't matter if your update mode is overwrite or addition.

Essbase Studio data load and other

Hi There,
I got my cube build from my data mart with one fact table and bunch of dimensions and deploy successfully to essbase server. The questions I have are:
1. I have another fact table with the same dimensions, I need to load the data into the cube I build. How do I load the data from Essbase Studio, should I add that new Fact table into my schemas? I know I can load the data through EAS, but it seems defeated the purpose of Essbase studio.
2. Is there any way I can specify from essbase studio for certain, for example, account level, as TB Last, or Avg, it seems you have to apply to the whole level as TB Last, etc. from Essbase Model Properties.
Thanks

Essbase Studio MAXL scripts not running

Hi All,
I am currently working on Essbase Studio 11.1.2.0. with Windows 2007 sp1 with 64 bit operating system . I have my datasources set to oracle database.
I am trying to create an outline through maxl scripts. My essbase services etc are running fine.
Steps of execution with the command are given below:
1. Click on the Start button, click on run, enter cmd
2. create the following maxl script named as ocreate.scr using notepad and save it. The login and password are correctly defined.
======================================================================================================
deploy outline from model 'BestModel' in cube schema '\Mydirect\Cube Schemas\Best' login 'XXXXXXX' identified by 'XXXXXX' on host 'UDANASESSBA1' to application 'test' database 'test' using connection 'Essbase_QA_Connection' keep 100000 errors on error ignore dataload write to default;
exit;
========================================================================================================
3. Run the above script as :
Essmsh ocreate.scr
On running the above script I get the following error:
===================================================
Essmsh.exe has stopped working
====================================================
Can anyone help here.
Thanks in advance
Bk

I believe there was an issue with deploying studio using 64bit Maxl, the workaround was to deploy using 32bit Maxl.
More information available in Oracle Support - "Error "essmsh.exe has stopped working" with MAXL Deploy Script Generated from Essbase Studio on Windows 64-bit [ID 1382589.1]"

Essbase Studio Fails Validation - Incorrect Server.properties path

I've tried to figure this out on my own, but I just can't seem to get it.
During the validation script of EPM 11.1.1.3 (Windows Server 2k3), I get the following error for Essbase Studio:
Start running Essbase Studio Server
Essbase Studio Server failed.
Connecting to Essbase Studio Server... - failed
Error:Logging configuration file is not found. Expected filename is D:\Hyperion\common\validation\9.5.0.0\.\server.properties
Network communication with the server failed
Clearly, it looks like the path is incorrect (the extra .\ between 9.5.0.0 and server.properties)
However, I can't seem to find where this path is set. I've looked at a bunch of the files that make up the validation script, but they seem to point to compiled JAVA files that can't be edited.
Anyone have any ideas around where I can correct this path?
Of note, Essbase Studio does in fact work, I just want to fix this validation script so that any real issues will be pointed out.
thanks
Edited by: PtotheC on Jan 20, 2010 4:12 PM

Also, this error causes it to FAIL the validation that is generated.
Essbase Studio is RED in the HTML that is generated.
I would assume if it is common, other people would be noticing that too?

Data load error in essbase studio

I get the following error when trying to load an ASO cube using Essbase Studio (EPM 11.1.2). This error doen't seem to be documented in any of the Essbase manuals. Question - does this error indicate an essbase server issue or a data source issue? I'm thnking it's datasource related, but my data source is an Oracle database, which I've used previously to load cubes without a problem. I've refreshed the source and can connect to it fine otherwise.
Error:
Data load started at: Fri Dec 03 08:52:21 EST 2010. Data load elapsed time: 10 Minutes 23 Seconds.
Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
Caused by: Failed to load data into database: 8020.
Caused by: Cannot execute a SQL query
Caused by: Io exception: Socket read timed out
Caused by: Socket read timed out
Appreciate any hel with this issue.

When I have issues with Studio I try to break it down slowly. I build my dimensions one at a time. If it breaks on a single dimension build I trace the issues backwards and usually find my issue in the schema.
Studio's role in life is to create SQL load rules and as such depend on a good schema definition. Unforntunately, the dimension build rules can't be opened in EAS with the Dataprep Editor (regular load rules) because they're binary and can do things that a normal load rule cannot (text measures, date measures, time varying attributes, etc.). But that doesn't mean the .rul files are un-readable. If you're having trouble with a particular dimension build process, open the load rule it creates with something like Notepad and grab the SQL that Studio is generating and drop it into Toad (or equivalant) to see if it is generating usable code. If not, there's something wrong with your modeling and you need to go back to the mini-schema.
When you're able to build all dimensions all at the same time, you're almost there. If your issues comes when you want to build and load data, the final debuging steps go quickly. Towards that end, the data load rules (ones that load data vs. building dimensions) generated by Studio can be edited in EAS using the Dataprep Editor. If you know SQL Load Rules, you should be able to figure out. If not, contact John Goodwin, OCS or a partner and set up a consulting visit.

Unable to load data into Essbase cube using Essbase Studio

Hi
We are creating an essbase cube using Essbase Studio using flat files as data sources.
We have taken different hierarchies into different flat files and created one fact file having dimension intersection along with data.
We are able to create the cube and the hierarchy but not able to load any data.
We are getting the following error
Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
Caused by: Unable to perform dataload from more than one flat file.
Could anyone please help on this?

Oh this was killing me, so I did this test in 11.1.1.3:
1) Excel 2007 format -- no go, Essbase didn't see it
2) Excel 2003 format, three sheets -- only the first sheet was read into an empty rule
3) Excel 2003 format, one sheet -- the first sheet was read into an empty rule
4) Excel 95 format, one sheet -- the first sheet was read into an empty rule
The lesson?
1) Excel 2007/2010 sheets don't work (no surprise there as the .xlsx format isn't supported).
2) Excel 2003 and lower (hey, if you have Excel 4, I'll bet that works as well) work, but only the first sheet is recognized.

Essbase Studio Performance Issue : Data load into BSO cube

Hello,
Having succesfully built my outline by member loading through Essbase Studio, I have tried to load data into my application again with Studio. However I was never able to complete the data load because it is taking forever. Each time I tried to work with Studio in streaming mode (hoping to increase the query speed), the load gets terminated due to the following error : Socket read timed out.
In the Studio properties file, I typed in, oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout=1000000000, but the result has not changed. Even if it did work out, I am also not sure the streaming mode is gonna provide a much faster alternative to working in non-streaming mode. What I'd like to know is, which Essbase settings I can change (either in Essbase or Studio server) in order to speed up my data load. I am loading into a Block Storage database with 3 Dense, 8 Sparse and 2 attribute dimensions. I filtered some dimensions and tried to load data to see exactly how long it takes to create a certain number of blocks. With ODBC setting in Essbase Studio, it took me 2.15 hours to load data into my application where only 153 blocks were created with the block size of 24B. Assuming that in my real application the number of Blocks created are going to be at least 1000 times more than this , I need to make some changes in settings. I am transferring the data from Oracle Database, with 5 tables joined to a fact table (view) from the same data source. All the cache settings in Essbase are in default mode. Would changing cache settings, buffer size or multiple threads help to increase the performance? Or what would you suggest that I should do?
Thank you very much.

Hello user13695196 ,
(sorry I no longer remember my system number here)
Before it comes to any optimisation attemps in the essbase (also Studio) environment you should definitily make clear that your source data query performs well at the oracle db.
I would recommand:
1. to create in your db source schema a View from your sql statement (these behind your data load rule)
2. query against this view with any GUI (Sql Developer, TOAD etc.) to fetch all rows and measure the time it takes to complete. Also count the effected (returned) number of rows for your information and for future comparing of results.
If your query runs longer then you think is acceptable then
a) check DB statistiks,
b) check and/or consider creating indexes
c) if you are unsure then kindliy ask your DBA for help. Usually they can help you very fast.
(Don't be shy - a DBa is a human being like you and me :-) )
Only when your sql runs fast (enough for you; or your DBA says is the best you can achieve) at the database move your effort over to essbase.
One hint in addition:
We had often problems when using views for dataload (not only performance but rather other strange behavior) . Thats the reaons why I like more directly to set up on (persistence) tables.
Just to keep in mind: If nothing helps create a table from your view and then query your data from this table for your essbase data load. Normaly however this should be your last option.
Best Regards
(also to you Torben :-) )

Business rule in essbase studio

Hi Experts,
Plz tell me if i can write business rules in Essbase Studio 11.1.2 ??
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Lolita

So your SQL is taking the absolute value of the dates (first assigned to - created) and then multiplying it by 24? And if there's a null, value it with a zero?
In a BSO database, the formula for this would look like:
ReportedAssignedHRs = @ABS((FIRST_ASSIGNED_TO_FCR_GMT_DATE - UNIT_GMT_CREATED_DATE) * 24) ;
That of course assumes you load the first assigned to and the created members to the outline.
You could stick this as a member formula in the outline (and then you wouldn't technically need the "ReportAssignedHRs =" bit although you can put it in) or have it as part of a calc script.
In an ASO database, the formula would be in the outline (I suspect it makes sense there in a BSO database as well, but maybe not if summing the dates doesn't make sense):
Abs(([FIRST_ASSIGNED_TO_FCR_GMT_DATE] - [UNIT_GMT_CREATED_DATE]) * 24)
In both technologies, if there's no value, by default it's null or missing, so there's no need to put in a null value via an IF or CASE statement.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour
Edited by: CL on Aug 31, 2011 9:39 AM
Whoops, should add you can now put the ASO formula into a sort of, kind of calc script and the Missing or Null value in Essbase usually gets reported as Null, not zero. You could force a zero but why?

Substitution variable in Load rule Header Essbase 11.1.1.3

Think its obvious you can use substitution variable as a Header definition on Load rules, does version 11.1.1.3 has any issues' with it, i am running into Unexpected Essbase error 1019026.
Error:
Unknown member [Mgmt Actual,Base,No Vertical,No Customer] found while processing string [Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
I want to copy Actual data into other scenario's in ASO cube so thought will use substitution variables to eliminate duplication on load rules.
Mgmt Actual is a scenario set thru Substitution variable at the DB level
i.e *&CurScen="Mgmt Actual" (set at DB level)*
Header Definition on load rule *&CurScen,"Base","No Vertical","No Customer"*
Data load work fine If i replace substitution variable with original member *"Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer"*.
I did notice some users complaining erratic behavior when substitution variables are placed in load rule header at the End on multiple members, i have tried all places End, First and Middle.
tried using single Load rule with EAS and MAXl same results.
i want to keep altering scenarios on header definition and use same rule files.
alter database AppName.DbName set variable CurScen '"Mgmt Actual"';
Running out of ideas any help!

Error:
Unknown member [Mgmt Actual,Base,No Vertical,No Customer] found while processing string [Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
*1019026 Unknown member memberName found while processing string string*
Possible Problems
Analytic Services does not recognize the listed string as a member of the outline.
Possible Solutions
Make sure that the member name is valid. The member name is in the rules file.
* Are you using the correct rules file?
* Is the rules file connected to the correct outline?
* Can you validate the rules file?
* Are member names or variable names enclosed in quotation marks where necessary?
* Does the member exist in the outline? If not, you can add the member by modifying the outline during the dimension build or add the member in the Outline Editor.
* Make sure that the member is not specified as a header in the rules file.

Prabhas

Essbase load rule file

I am trying to use load rule to append some data to Essbase cube. How do you define the rule on Essbase side, as a data file or SQL data source? I am trying to avoid the second option as the SQL Interface was not configured on Essbase Unix box. Is it possible?

Thanks John for explaining this one!

Essbase load with load rules and add to option

Is there a trick to loading data from one essbase cube and using a load rule to convert it to new metadata values and
aggregating like values?
My data came out very strange looking. Does 'add to' null out values if adding to null?
Does the strip leading trailing zeros interfere with file layouts? My data was spotty and ended up in Dec but no other months.
Thanks

adding values to a null value "Missing" results in the value.
Did you extract your data in column format? If so, ignore the top two rows The first row is the row dimension info, the second the columns for the data values. In sample basic you might see something like
Markets, products, scenario,accounts
Jan feb mar apr .....
so the first 4 columns are the row dimension members and the next 12 fields are the data values by month.
stripping leading and trailing values has no effect especially since an export puts quotes around member names

"Multiple connections when expected one"
Is there anyawy to bypass this? I have following columns in my tables:
Table1 in schema1:

Table2 in schema2:

My essbase metadata are created from:

How can I load data to this?

Rejected record message from Essbase Studio load (3355)

I receive the following error when deploying an outline via Essbase Studio to an ASO cube (ver 11.1.2):
\\Record #36798 - Member XXX does not exist. Reference member column types require the field to be an existing member (3355)
As I read the error (BTW, can someone help me find the table of rejected record codes?), it is rejecting the assignment of an attribute to a member because the member does not exist.
What could be a reason though that I did not receive an "Error adding member XXX" rejection beforehand or something indicating that there was an error adding the member originally? I am puzzled because I cannot find anything special about the source data when comparing to the many others that loaded successfullly.

Hi All,
Towards this error if we are talking about Hyperion Essbase - Version 11.1.2.1.000 and later.
So mostly we are facing this issue has been verified as unpublished Bug 12967639.
As documented in KM:
Unable to Save ASO Outline After Renaming Members, "Error(1007072) Member [xxx] tagged as <REFER does not have a member to refer to" [ID 1465850.1]
Also towards ASO there is another document having all there as:
Oracle Hyperion Essbase and Aggregate Storage (ASO) [ID 1291202.1]
Thanks,
