Max Members in Dimension

Hi Experts
What is the max number of dimension members that can be stored in one dimension ?
It would be great, if you can share the complexity with some examples.

Hi Anurag,
If you can define "easily handled" I can tell you limits on Dimensions:).
Theoretically there is no limit on Dimension size - those would depend how much your DB or disk space can handle.
I saw almost 1M members Dimension, but won't advise to go that crazy.
I'd think that if you have a BIG Dimension you should have a big Application as well. I'd be more concerned about the Application size rather that Dimension size.
BTW, SAP made a lot of performance improvements for big Dimension in v. 10, so I'd think it will depend what version you using as well.

Gersh

  • Setting "Aggregation For Plan" for Scenario members in  Dimension Library

    In the Dimension Library, I have a Scenario which has two members (B and C) which roll up to a parent member (A). Unlike the other types of dimensions, I am unable set the Aggregation as the properties (Aggregation for Plan 1, Aggregation for Plan 2, Aggregation for Plan 3) are not available under the Planning category.
    If I view the outline in EAS, I am able to modify the aggregation for the A and B members directly but I'm unsure as to what impact this would have on the planning application.
    Any ideas why the properties aren't available? The BPMA Administrators guide seems to suggest I should be able to do this.
    Can I go ahead and modify the members direct in EAS?
    Cheers.

    I did take a look at the custom dimension and it's members with their storage properties both in DEV and PROD and there were NO Dynamic/Label Only members. Checked the relational database as well and it too showed that there were no members with Dynamic/Label Only storage properties in the custom dimension.
    To my surprise this morning, when I checked the numbers in EAS the two columns had the same numbers. It looks like its fixed now as the IMPLIED_SHARE setting took effect and both the "Members in Dimension" = "Members Stored".
    I noticed that the server team had stopped and started all the server again yesterday night sometime in DEV so maybe that's when the setting actually took affect and for some reason it didnt take affect the first time they restarted the servers Or maybe because I refreshed the database again from workspace this morning. I am not sure which one fixed it.
    Thanks Celvin for your time and inputs.

  • [Target] - Partition definition is not valid: [Cell count mismatch: [1814427] area for slice [1] members per dimension [67 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 51 531 ]]

    Hello Everyone,
    I am receiving the error : [Target] - Partition definition is not valid: [Cell count mismatch: [1814427] area for slice [1] members per dimension [67 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 51 531 ]] when trying to validate my transparent partition.
    Because of some issues the data is not getting reflected at the target database.
    Please suggest some solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would exercise the following steps
    1.Copy the original partition script in a notepad
    2.Open one source outline and target outline applications in EAS Console in vertical mode.
    3.Check the partition members coming from both source  to Target application are in sync, by checking the source members and target members in the respective cubes ,if  any new member got added in your source partition intersection then you need the member in the target too,if they are not ,then cell count mismatch will occur.
    4.Since its a transparent partition target the shared transparent areas of the data source and data target outlines need not be identical.The dimensions and member in the data source maps to each dimension and member in the data target.You need to define the definition of mapping
    5.Create partition either using maxl or using create partition in EAS .
    In your case 1 partitions has the cell mismatch counts ,since you are able to retrieve the data for 3 partitions in the target applications
    Thanks,

  • User has no write access to the selected members of dimension : CATEGORY

    Hello,
    Here is the Scenario:
    I have a script called DAllocate.lgf in an app - Costing. Now I need to run that app from another app called Reporting. I know that Runlogic wont work in my case because in the Dallocate.lgf there are some Runlogic commands being used. and when Runlogic is being used to call a logic that has runlogics in it, it wont work. So what I hae done is in the SSIS package in the reporting app, I have added a logic task to an existing package and specified DAllocate.lgf with the app name costing.
    Here is the issue:
    When I run an SSIS package in costing app called Dallocate(which basically runs dallocate.lgf), it runs successfully. But If I run a package called PtoCA in Reporting that has Dallocate.lgf as a logic task, it gives the following error:
    "user has no write access to the selected members of dimension : CATEGORY "
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    From your explanation it is clear that Dallocate.LGF has been run successfully in one of the logics. This means the issue is not in the Dallocate.LGF. The issue is in some other logic of the same DM package.
    First, check which logic part faces this issue. Based on your explanation, definitely not in Dallocate.LGF.
    Then, check how that particular Catergory dimension member which the user does not have access for, came into the logic calculation. Somewhere in the calculation, it is posting a value in the unauthorized member.

  • Excel 2010 - Calculated Members on Dimension

    Hi
    Was wondering if there was any workaround in Excel 2010 to make these appear. My understanding is that the behaviour is unchanged from 2007.
    Does anyone know of any plans to support calculated members on dimensions in Excel?
    Cheers

    I added the following to Adventure Works and it displays in Excel 2010 if I make sure to tick the option to display calculated members from the OLAP server.
    CREATE
    MEMBER
    CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[Calendar].[All Periods].test
    AS 123,
    VISIBLE = 1 ;
    The other approach is to add a physical member to your dimension and then use a SCOPE to set the value based on an expression. This way you don't need to set the option to display calculated members.

  • "Members in Dimension" Vs "Members Stored".

    This question is regarding a difference that I am seeing in the"Database Properties" - "Dimensions" tab for one of our custom dimensions.
    For one of our custom dimensions in Production we have X number of members. When I check the "Database Properties" - "Dimensions" tab the "Members in Dimension" is equal to X and the "Members Stored" also equal to X.
    But in Development when I compare the same "Members in Dimension" and "Members Stored" columns for this custom dimension they have different numbers. The number in "Members Stored" column is lower than X.
    While I was trying to know the reason I noticed that we had turned off the IMPLIED SHARE property (Essbase.cfg) in production for only our application but we didn't turn it off in Developement. I was hoping that this was the cause for the difference and so I made the same setting change in development in the essbase.cfg file and restarted the servers.
    The problem now is even now the values don't sync up in both the columns ("Members in Dimension" != "Members Stored"). Is there anything else that I could be missing?
    Please let me know your thoughts so that I can fix this difference.
    Thanks.

  • Shared Members in Dimensions - security question

    Within the dimension security, do shared members take the security based on their base member or on the parent member?
    For example, if we have a base member setup under "Homes" like this:
    Homes > examplehome
    and then a shared member for "examplehome" setup like this:
    Region1 > examplehome(shared)
    And the "Homes" and "Region1" folder have different security setup for iDescendants, will "examplehome(shared)" take the security from "Homes" or "Region1"?

    I've never investigated this but does it really matter? The data for examplehomes is only stored in one place. The share just gives you alternate aggregation paths. My guess is that once you set security for one all instances of the member share the security. After all, if you place examplehomes on a form with no parent, planning has no idea which parent to use.

  • BPC for Excel - All Members in Dimension

    Hi,
    I'm currently working in BPC 7.0 for NW and I have created a report in BPC Excel.
    I want to select all members in a dimension - but the function is greyed out in the selection screen.
    I tried looking for error in service marketplace - without any luck.
    Anyone come across this before?
    Br,
    Sonni

    Hi Sonni,
    When you are selecting members from the CV, you cannot select multiple members. You can select only single member at a time from CV.
    To get all the members in the report, you need to use the expansion options available, depending on whether you are using evexp or evdre.
    Hope this helps.

  • Add members to dimension

    Hello,
    I want to give a user access to input members in some dimensions but I don't want to give him access to admin panel. How can I organize it? Is it possible?
    Regards,
    Veronika.

    Hi,
    One more suggestion would be to have a file, proceess or lookup table where users can submit the new members and then you can create a dimension using SSIS process.
    We have done this many times, You can also automate this process.
    Hope this helps.

  • Outline Build-Move Members in Dimension Properties is grayed out

    Hi, I'm very new with EIS and created a sample meta outline. Everytime I add a member name below a Dimension in the meta outline, EIS does not allow me to check "Move Members" in the "Duplicate Member Name" area from the Outline Build tab. When I delete the member names just added to the Dimension, the "Move Members" would be available to be checked (not grayed out).
    Any help would be great, thank you!

    Hi there
    I believe the Fit to Stage button only becomes available if the image is larger than the stage itself. If you insert an image that is smaller than the stage, it will not enable and maximize the image to fill the stage area if that's what you were hoping to do.
    Cheers... Rick

  • BPC MS 7.0 ; Is there a guideline for max. no. of dimensions per app?

    I need to know if there is guideline for maxumum no. of dimensions per application? i have been hearing that there should be 8 to 11 dimensions per application? Is this SAP recommended? or is this a best practice?

    Hi Sudhir,
    As per Nilanjan's reply below, the maximum dimension per application is 20.
    But, the more dimension you create in the application, the higher the effort to maintain it, i.e. when creating input templates/ reports, etc. So, define your dimension carefully.

  • Multiple members in dimension

    Hello experts,
    As I am new to BPC, I am still learning the lingo whle trying o develop a template for some analysis.
    I want to be able to pull multiple GL_Accounts where GL_Account is one of my dimensions.  The hierarchy that was created has the individual gl accounts seperated into different hierarchies and I don't know how to select a a few glaccounts from one hierarchy and one or two gl accounts from another one.  I want to be able to pull it into one vlaue rather than pulling them in separately and then doing math in excel to arrive at the one value.  Is there a way to tell the dimension that I want to sum together the different GL_Account values and report only one value?
    I hope this makes sense.  I'll take your thoughts.
    AVaidya

    I'm sure there is a way to get this done.
    Here is what i would do.
    Let's get some information first, the accounts you are trying to add have the same parent? if so, all you need to do is select the parent member on the memeber selector and use BAS(),SELF on your EVDRE memberset for the GL_Account expanssion. And to make it more interesting you can add SUMPARENT on your optionrange.
    If it's harder than that, you need to add specific accounts that have diferent parents. (I don't see how that's usable if you gonna let the user change the member select). But if so, you can use the after range to add that specific accounts. For that you can use procv or h to find the value of the accounts you want and add them.
    Here is a usefull tip, if you need to get accounts related with the one selected in the current views you can use =EVCVW(EVAPP();"GL_Account") combined with the EVEXP function.
    I'm sure you can do this =D
