MDX all descendants of member parent

I need to get all descendants the user belongs to.
assuming the user in in group "SalesTeamLead" I then need all the descendants of
the group the user is part of.
so I think about it like that
Ancestors(Head(Filter([DIM_SALES].AllMembers,[DIM_SALES].CurrentMember.Level.Name
= 'SALESAGENT' and [DIM_SALES].CurrentMember.Name = 'myuser83123')).Item(0))
The above I have to tweak so it does that:
bottom level Sales hierarchie we have the user id
we go up the hierarchie one level to find the team
we go and get all the descendants of the team.
Dimension_Sales_Levels
-Region
---SalesTeam
-----SalesAgents
Any ideas?

solution:
SELECT
Descendants(
Ancestor(
Head(
Filter(
[DIM_SALES].AllMembers,[DIM_SALES].CurrentMember.Level.Name = 'SALESAGENT_ID' and [DIM_SALES].CurrentMember.Name = 'tedas2')
).Item(0
,2)
ON COLUMNS
FROM
[mycube]
Ancestor instead of AncestorS

HOW DO I GET ALL LEVEL 0 MEMBER AND ITS PARENT IN A REPORT SCRIPT

I want to create a report script that generate a list of all level 0 members and its parent for a particular dimension. I created the following report script that generate a list of level 0 members.
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
//The purpose of this script is to list
//the Lvl0 descendants of the Account dimension
{ DECIMAL 2

Hi Kris,
I want to produce a report like this for all level 0 member
For example --> database name; parent member; child member
if it is not possible, can I produce a report for members at various level but with the level idenntifier.
For example --> Account
Level 3 100
Level 2 100-10
Level 1 100-10-20
Level 0 100-10-20-1
Level 0 100-10-20-2
actual report row --> Level 1 100-10; 100-10-20
Level 0 100-10-20; 100-10-20-1
Level 0 100-10-20; 100-10-20-2

Setting default member of attribute hierarchy in MDX script. Default member not taken into account while using user defined hierarchy

Hi all
I have a date dimension that (type time) with attributes
- [FiscalYear] (type years)
- [FiscalMonth] (type months)
- [FiscalWeek] (type weeks)
In addition to the attributes used in the natural hierarchy, I have an attribute [PerType] containing one member comming from the relational table 'WTD' which corresponds to 'Current Date'. All other members of this attribute hierarchy are calculated members (defined in the MDX script). Examples:
--Last year
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[LY] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[LY]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Year], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = ([Measures].CurrentMember, [Date].[PerType].[WTD], ParallelPeriod([Date].[Fiscal].[Year], 1));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
--Month to date
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[MTD] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[MTD]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Week], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = Aggregate(CrossJoin({[Date].[PerType].[WTD]}, MTD([Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
--Year to date
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[YTD] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[YTD]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Period], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = Aggregate(CrossJoin({[Date].[PerType].[WTD]}, YTD([Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
The defalut member of FiscalWeek attribute hierarchy is set dynamically in the MDX script:
ALTER CUBE CURRENTCUBE UPDATE DIMENSION [Date].[FiscalWeek], DEFAULT_MEMBER =
Filter(
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Members,
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Properties( "FiscalWeekStartDate", TYPED) <= DateAdd("d", -2, CDate(CStr(Month(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Day(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Year(Now()))))
AND
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Properties( "FiscalWeekEndDate", TYPED) >= DateAdd("d", -2, CDate(CStr(Month(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Day(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Year(Now()))))
)(0).PrevMember;
If I run the following query:
with member
measures.x as [Date].[Fiscal].DefaultMember.Name
measures.y as [Date].[FiscalWeek].DefaultMember.Name
select
measures.x,
measures.y
} on axis(0)
from [GLWeekly]
it gives me back correctly the default member set over the MDX script.
I order the statements in the MDX Script so that the default period (week) is set at the beginning of the script (just after the calculate).
I do not understand why creating the following calculated member I am obliged to specify [Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember in the tuple to have correct results:
MEMBER [Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue (MTD)] AS ([Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue], [Date].[PerType].[MTD], [Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)
I would expect that:
([Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue], [Date].[PerType].[MTD])
is sufficient.
If the default week is specified in the slicer using a member of the natural hierachy (=> [Date].[Fiscal].x) it works.
Why can't SSAS use the default member if it is must defined in the MDX script?
Can someone explains me this. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Ina,
have you thought about adding a dynamic statement inside the MDX script? You could define the default member like this:
... DEFAULT_MEMBER = iif( Day( Now() ) = 3, <expression for previous month>, <expression for current month> );
This way you don't need to change it everytime by running a script.
By the way, what do you mean it doesn't update the default member? When you execute this MDX what does it says?
with member measures.x as [Dimension].[HierarchyName].DefaultMember.Name
select { measures.x } on 0 from Cubename
If this returns the correct name, then the problem is somewhere else. I believe it should return you the correct name. Look here, test this on Adventure Works, statement by statement and see what happens.
ALTER
CUBE [Adventure Works]
UPDATE
DIMENSION [Product].[Product Categories],
DEFAULT_MEMBER = [Product].[Product Categories].[Category].&[1]
with
member measures.x
as [Product].[Product Categories].DefaultMember.Name
select measures.x on 0
from [Adventure Works]
ALTER
CUBE [Adventure Works]
UPDATE
DIMENSION [Product].[Product Categories],
DEFAULT_MEMBER = [Product].[Product Categories].[All Products]
with
member measures.x
as [Product].[Product Categories].DefaultMember.Name
select measures.x on 0
from [Adventure Works]
I think you can see which members are default (on related hierarchies) using
MDX Studio. This should help you detect which attributes have not moved accordingly and hence cause problems in your report. The usual suspects are those attributes used in your last month reports. If that's too much for you, just copy paste the definition
of the measure x and use .CurrentMember instead .DefaultMember. And so for all related hierarchies of your dimension. You can run it as one query, just put enough measures (x1, x2, ...), one for each hierarchy, ok?
Here's a test for Day():
with
member measures.y
as
iif( Day(Now()) = 28, 'Yes', 'No' )
select
measures.y on 0
from [Adventure Works]
Today this returns Yes, tomorrow it will be No.
Ups, I just checked one more thing. When you run the script, it sets the default member only for that session. If you execute the first two of the four statements that I've sent you, it will set the default member on Bikes and show you that.
But, if you open another query windows and execute that select statement (only), you'll see All member instead. So, it has set it to Bikes only for the currect session. Consequence? You reports are not aware of it. So, better use dynamic statement in
your MDX script.

Setup write access for all descendants except one

Hi,
I'd like to give a write access to all descendants of a member, except one.
I thought I could simply give WRITE too all descendants, and set a NONE on the member I didn't want to give access.
That should work according to the Planning documentation :
Inheriting Access Permissions
Inheritance may determine the user or group’s access permissions. You can specify an attribute
that causes the children or descendants of that member to inherit its access permissions. Access
permissions assigned to members take precedence over inherited access permissions. You can
include or exclude the member from the access permissions setting.
However, after I set it up this way, the inherited WRITE takes precedence over the NONE set up on the member.
Am I facing a bug, or is there an error in the documentation, or am I really missing something ?
I am working with 11.1.2.1, EPMA application.
Thanks,
JM

If you set write accesss to descendants and then set none to one of the members then the none access should take precedence.
This statement should be true "Access permissions assigned to members take precedence over inherited access permissions."
Cheers

ACL Not Propagating Permissions to All Descendants

I am curious why new files and folders added by users do not retain the permissions allocated to the parent folder by an ACL.
The ACL description says that the permissions are propagated to the child files and folders as well as all descendants. But when a user logs in and creates a new item to share in a group folder, the ACL does not apply. Instead the new item takes on the individual user's permissions (Owner is the User, instead of the Group.)
Is the new folder too far down in the directory to be considered a descendant? (3 layers deep.) Is there a known issue with Leopard users logging into a Tiger server?
Any light shed on this issue is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I should add that I can remedy this problem by manually going in to Server Admin and propagating permissions on the troubled share-point, but I would rather not have to do this every time a user creates a new item.

I have two location one is Delhi(IP-192.168.100.*) and another is Mumbai(IP-192.168.1.*) and both are connected by MPLS line and ping with each other.
We have one DC in Delhi location and domain name is CAPLDC and Delhi location all PC is member of this domain and working properly.
now i am trying join the Mumbai location PC with my Domain(CAPLDC) but they are not join with my DC and generate the error.
I have chek the DNS and nslookup all are correct but this is generate error.
Is this possible Mumbai location join with this Domain(CAPLDC)???
One more thing when i have created another DC with this name (papldc.com) then Mumbai location is joined properly.

Why are you using a single labeled domain? I would recommend renaming the domain name to be something like domain.com.

Get All Descendants

I am trying to write a macro in VB and I can't figure out how to work it in Essbase. There is a Drop Down box that an end user will select the Highest Generation and put that value in another spreadsheet. I would like my current macro, which only connects and retrieves data, to take the user defined item, and drop all of its descendants into another worksheet. For Example, if the user selected "Johnson and Johnson", it takes the "johnson and johnson", drops it into another new sheet, but then I want Essbase to Pull all descendants of Johnson and Johnson down on the new sheet. Does anyone know how to write that in VB Code?

In the Hyperion Web form page dimension, there're two members (A1.00, B1.00...may be more than these), what I need is when user select A1.00 or B1.00, I need to do some action for A1 or B1, so what I wrote in the rule isYou'll get the level 1 using @ANCESTORS({Entity}, -1) and you that will get you A1 or B1. However your calc is written for desc of A1?
What is that you are looking for?

I checked the SharePoint logs and the error message in there is the exact same. Nothing is in the windows application error logs.
I looked at what it was trying to do before the error and it failed on a task list. I tried deleting the task list and trying again and it bombed on a document library next.
I did some googling and found a hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955594 I tried to install it, but I have SP2 installed and therefore it said that the expected version was off. Im assuming since I have SP2 and that hotfix is dated in 08 that it should be included in SP2 anyways.
Does anyone have an idea on what is going on and how to fix it? I am trying to migrate this sub site to a new server and set it up as a new site collection.

Good you caught that ... somethings would have shut down at the 90day mark...
Would you humor me and tell me what this does.. Note I changed the order of a few things, added a .bak to the filename and also added versions.
If this errors would go into the Windows Event Viewer and look for anything SharePoint related, then look at security logs and see if there are any errors.

MDX: Selecting specific dimension member and its descendants from parent child dimension where dimension member names can be same in dimension hierarchy

I'm creating a SSRS report using SSAS cube as a source.
When creating a dataset for the report, I'm having trouble with MDX to select a specific dimension member and its descendants from parent child dimension where dimension member names can be same in dimension hierarchy.
Lets say for example that I have an account dimension where,
In level 02 I have company ID:s 101, 102, 103 and so on...
In level 03 I have Balance sheet
In level 04 I have some account groups, Assets, Liabilities and so on... and In level 05 I have individual accounts
How can I select for example company 102:s Assets from level 04 and its descendants?
Normally in adventure works I would do this if I've wanted Current Assets and its descendants:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Amount] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
{ (DESCENDANTS([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 03].[Current Assets]) ) } ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
But in my Account dimension at level 04 I have Assets member as many times as I have companies in level 02.

Hi Tuomo Helminen,
To this requirement of yours, I would recommend you use Cascading Parameters in Reporting services, you can refer to this FAQ How do I create cascading parameters when using cube database in Reporting Services at this link

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

MDX Function Descendants

Hey,
I'm trying to use a mdx function on the business model using Evaluate_AGGR.
Any idea why this is not working?
EVALUATE_AGGR('Descendants( \[%1], 1, AFTER)', "ES_FIN_BGATE_BIRE"."BGATE".."Pnl"."Gen6,SITES" )
I've got the following error:
Syntax error in input MDX query on line 2 at token 'member' (HY000)
Generate code:
member \[Accounts].\[MS1] as 'Descendants( \[\[SITES].Generations(6)], 1, AFTER)', SOLVE_ORDER = 101
select
{ \[Accounts].\[MS1]
} on columns
from \[BLUEGATE.Pnl]
Thanks!

The "Descendants" function needs a dimension member specification. You can't simply put a dimension level (as OBIEE uses for referencing hierarchy generations of an outline).
This will work:EVALUATE('Intersect(Descendants([Deltas],1,SELF_AND_BEFORE),%1.dimension.members)', Scenario."Gen3,Scenario")This will work as long as you don't use any other columns (speaking OBIEE terms) from the specified dimension (in this case Scenario).EVALUATE('Intersect(Descendants(%1.dimension.CurrentMember,1,SELF_AND_BEFORE),%1.dimension.members)', Scenario."Gen3,Scenario")So as long as you manage to get a singular dimension member into the function you're ok. Think prompts / presentation variables. Lists of dimension members retrieved through dimension level specifications and filters will not work.
Cheers,
C.

MDX Query to Calculated member

Hi All,
I have a MDX query which works fine, when converting the query to Calculated member, I get the same result for all the rows of a dimension.
select {[Measures].[Contents]} on 0,
([Dim Products].[Product Alias].[Product Alias].members,
(filter ([Dim Products].[Product ID].members,
instr(left([Dim Productss].[Product ID].currentmember.member_Key,3),'112')>0))) on 1
from
<<CubeName>>
Calculated Member:
SUM(filter ([Dim Products].[Product ID].members,
instr(left([Dim Products].[Product ID].currentmember.member_Key,3),'112')>0),[Measures].[Contents])
When I drag the dimension product, the calculated member showing the same result for all the products. Can anyone let me know the syntax error here.

Hi SQL GUN,
For me it works :
WITH MEMBER [Last3MonthsInternetSales] AS
AGGREGATE
LastPeriods(-3, ClosingPeriod([Date].[Calendar].[Month], [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[12])),
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
SET MySet AS
{[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[09],
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[10],
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[11],
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[12],
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[01],
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[02]}
SELECT
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
[Last3MonthsInternetSales]
} ON COLUMNS,
MySet
} ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
Are u sure your query is correct. I think you might have a [Fiscal Month Num of Year] too much in your (). I'm not sure, but are u dragging the correct level of hierarchy ? Also in the part ON ROWS you seem to take a lot of levels with you.
Why for example take .allmembers when you only want the actual last 3 of your currentmember?
Can u check again?

Getting all level 0 member in a outline

what is the best way to get all the level 0 member in a outline
Please advise

ok so you're doing a one-off exercise to identify non-level 0 data and you have a lot of members.
I would still probably just dump it into Excel and then load it to a database to compare against the data.
What you can do in Excel is turn on 'Navigate without Data' which gets you the list of members without retrieving data (a LOT faster). In Smartview it is under the Data Options tab. (Zoom In Level is under the General tab but you probably knew that)
An alternative is to use OLAP Underground Outline Extracter and use a method other than Parent Child format.

Financial Reporting Studio 9.3 - Member Parent

Hi, first time poster...
I have a report that is showing "Descendants of Current Point of View for Entity AND System-defined member list Lev0,Entity" in Row 1.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the parent of each of those lev 0 entities to show up in Column A, row 1,2,3.....
For example,
.....................................................Column A....................Column B
.........................................................................................Revenue
Row 1.....Lev0 membername 1....Parent of membername1....Data Value
Row 2.....Lev0 membername 2....Parent of membername2....Data Value
Row 3.....Lev0 membername 3....Parent of membername3....Data Value
I see that I can add a "Text Column" for "Column A" and add the cur Entity's Name, Alias, Property etc.., but not the parent or anything like that. Would this even be possible?
Thanks

Hi,
Run Hyperion_Home\BIPlus\install\bin\HRRunAnt.bat file.
