Measurement hierarchy from Essbase to BIEE physical layer

According to official documents, the measurement hierarchy from Essbase should be imported as one flat level on Physical layer in OBIEE Administration. However, after importing, I can't see those measurements shown ! What I can see is the "Measure" dimension which has 5 gen of hierarchy~
What I want is to put the measurements (e.g. unit sold / unit sold (east region) / unit sold (west region) / unit count / sales per week .... ) to presentation layer for users. How can I handle this? Is there anything I miss while building the cube in essbase?
Since my essbase has just been upgraded from v.6 to v.11.
Does anyone can help? THANKS A LOT !

Welcome to the wonderful world of OBIEE/Essbase integration!
Your "Measure" dimension basically should be your Account dimension of Type "Accounts". When a dimension has that type, it will automatically become the "fact" in the flattened out representation in the physcial layer.
Funny that you mention this since I anyways wanted to blog a bt more on this since I got quite some questions recently (for all who were there: result of that nice discussion in Brighton), since you may have multiple measure hierarchies and then there's a bit more config to do ;-)
Update:
I just saw your other post and I'm a bit confused now. You state you have the "Measure" table which I assume means you have it in the BMM layer already. As of 10.1.3.3.2. if you import Essbase metadata, you can just drag and drop it from physical to BMM to presentation layer and the models and presentation tables are created automatically. Not much manual intervention needed (initially, but you'll do a lot of modification afterwards).
Cheers,

Trouble adding new Essbase dimension to physical layer

I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.2 and have created a repository where I imported an Essbase cube. That's all been fine. I recently added another layer to one of the dimensions in my cube - had Division and Market and then added System below Market. I opened the Admin tool and added the new layer/column to the physical layer. Dragged the cube to the BM&M and then the Presentation layers. When I go into Answers and begin drilling down once I select a Market the System column says organization instead of displaying valid System names.
I also created a new repository and imported the cube and everything drills down just fine. I then compared both repositories and they look identical.
Does anyone have a better approach to updating the physical layer when working with Essbase? I really don't want to create the whole thing from scratch as I am also including other sources.
Thanks,
Brad

How to get multiple measures in measure hierarchy in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
Previously we are using one measure column which will gives the count.Now the current requirement is to get multiple measures in measure hierarchy.
For Example
Measure
Count
SalesCount(count*Sales/10)
CustomerCount(count*customer/10)
In the fact we will be having only column called "count".
So,I created the remaining two user defined dimension elements and applied formula in filters.
When i am using individual dimension element in measure hierarchy the data is coming correct,However when I am combing these three hierarchies under measure hierarchiy I am getting no data.Can someone help me out how to resolve this issue
Thanks,
SatyaB

Thanks Gleen.
This is how the actual scenerio,currently i am creating a cube for testing domain.
For all defects we will having a column called defect count.Now there are asking a new requirement to add addtional metrics contains sev1open defect,sev2 open defect etc...
So,I created hierarchy like this
Measures(Hierarchy)
Count
SalesMeasure
For this member I returned in filter as ( 'contains'( connection : 'STATUS', "New" ) and 'contains'( 'TESTING_SEVERITY', "2-High" ))
However when I am trying build this individually working fine getting correct data
When I am combining due to overwrite it seems getting no data.Like this I have to create 16 metrics
Is there any other method where I can proceed further to resolve this issue
So,can you help me on this Gleen.Thanks

RPD Physical Layer

Hi,
I am trying to import tables from database to the physical layer. when we select objects to add to physical layer which boxes to we need to check below. I know we need to check 'Tables' and 'Keys'. Other than these two do we check any other box?

Thank you. I have one more question. When I try to do a foreign key join in Physical layer a message pops up saying ' A matching table key doesnt exist in table. Do you want to create one'. Sould I just say 'yes' to it. Any idea why this message is coming?

Essbase Studio :: Measure Hierarchy :: "accounts not from fact"

Hello,
I am trying to build a Measure dimension in Essbase Studio not from fact table, but from parent-child metamodel table.
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_user/frameset.htm?ch10s03s02s05.html]
Here I've read that I should add loose measure creating cube schema to Measures/Measure Hierarchy field.
What loose measure? I added column from fact table. In Essbase metamodel it created Measure dimension with that one member.
Is it even possible to create measure dimension not from fact table?
Thanx in advance,
L00ka

The approach to take is to create a hierarchy from your measures table, then use the data column from your fact table to populate the measures box in the schema. When building the Essbase model, select the accounts dimension manually.
Oracle recommend that you build the measures dimension directly from your fact table, the above approach deems it a loose measure, that is it isn't based off the fact table.

Creating Essbase measure hierarchy in OBIEE

Hi All,
I have imported Essbase cube(11.1.2) to OBIEE 11.1.1.7 .
In RPD i have clicked on "convert measure dimension to flat measures" in physical layer.
Now measures are showing up as
                                              Meas1
                                              Meas2
                                              Meas3
                                              Meas4
But i want meas2,meas3,meas4 to be child of Meas1 and Meas1 is "level only" .
How to achive this in obiee?
Thanks,
Gourab

Raj,
I think we can't create Hierarchy for Measures ie for FACT table.

How to drill through from Essbase to Oracle in BIEE?

How to drill through from Essbase to Oracle in BIEE?
Edited by: Aaron Zhong Zhenhua on Oct 21, 2008 11:19 AM

Physical layer:
- Create a complex join between the Essbase generation and your detail table. E.g.: Gen6,Market = ATTRIBS.CNTRY
BMM layer:
- Go to the logical table "Market" (for example) and drag the ATTRIBS.CNTRY column on to the Gen6,Market column.
- Now pull over the other attributes from your Oracle table into the Market logical table...this will result in a second LTS within the sources.
- Drag and drop the logical columns you just got from Oracle on the lowest level of the Market dimension hierarchy. In this example, onto Gen6,Market.
- Alternatively, create levels below Gen6.
- Make sure your LTS have the correct content levels set
Presentation layer:
- Pull your chagnes through to your presentation catalog(s).
Should be all.

Essbase Studio - Create Cube Schema without a Measure or Measures Hierarchy

Using Essbase Studio V 11.1.2.1 I'm trying to create a cube schema. The wizard needs a measures or measures hierarchy in order to proceed. My cube doesn't have a dimension that falls under this category. All dimensions are under the Hierarchies. Is there a way to skip adding anything in the Measures/Measures Hierarchies in order to continue building the cube schema/Model? Any work around?

Hi GlennS, I that I need atleast one measure and thats the dollar amount field from the fact table. So I have done that now...
I'm trying to recreate a cube using Essbase Studio. I'm using EIS from an older essbase version as a template.
While doing a member load In EIS, in the olapisvr.log file, I could see the individual select statements for every dimension/member load. Something like "Member load SQL statement (for dimension CURRENCY_CD) has been generated, start adding member to outline". I cannot locate where I specified this sql or how EIS generates this. The sql is very specific so looks like the EIS generated sql for Member load is being overridden.
Once I figure that out, I need to replicate that in Essbase Studio. Any ideas?

How to add a stand alone table from Physical layer to Business Model

Hi,
I have tables from 2 different database sources in my Physical Layer.
My Business model currently uses only tables from one database. from my second database in teh physical layer I need only one table and that will be a stand alone table, to my Presentation layer.
1. Does it have to go through my Business layer or can it be directly added to the Presentation layer. What are the steps?
2. Can I restrict the permissions on that stand alone table only to the administrator?
Thank you.

1)create a view with single column using the sql (select 1 from dual) in physical layer and join it with the table using complex join in physical layer (1=1).
Move that to BMM, set the column as key in both physical and bmm layer.
2) You can restrict the access for the table presentation layer
Double click the presentation layer table -> Permission -> there you can restrict the access by user or group
Thanks,
Vino

How to Move from CSV to Table in Physical layer in Best possible way

We had a project which had the source (physical Layer) as CSV. Now there are moving from CSV to a Table in the Database.
Can anyone guide through the best possible way to complete the task
With Regards!
Steve

Create a new Database node in the Physical layer with connection pool, create a schema folder and drag your CSV object into the new database - All your BMM mappings and hence Presentation objects will move over seamlessly.
Might be an idea to simply reverse engineer / import any object from your database to initially create your database connection / tree then simply drag the CSV into it.
Hope this helps,
Alastair

Error occurred when view the data from physical layer

Hi ,
I have created system DSN like "demo1" for excel file. After that i import the excel file into administration tool.
after that i want to view the data from physical layer. At that time ,I am getting following error .
Please resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance,

hi ashok,
u can push data from psa to ods, for this goto the psa in rsa1>psa>goto that request>rightclick>select " schedule update Immediately ", then data will moved from psa to ods.
or
In ods > delete the failed request>goto the processing tab-->select 3rd option " psa and then subsequentially to data targets ", --> schedule the infopackage.

Logical joins differ from Physical layer joins

Can please answer to my Question?
1.How does Logical joins differ from Physical layer joins?
2.What is NQSConfig.INI file and what does it contain?
Thanks
Chi
[email protected]

2) The NQSConfig.INI file contains configuration and tuning parameters for the Oracle BI Server. There are parameters to configure disk space for temporary storage, set sort memory buffer sizes, set cache memory buffers, set virtual table page sizes, and a number of other configuration settings that allow you to take full advantage of your hardware's capabilities.
For more information about the NQSConfig.INI file parameters, refer to Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.
1) Logical joins are used in Business Model, Physical joins are used in physical layer. A key property of a logical join is cardinality. Cardinality expresses how rows in one table are related to rows in the table to which it is joined. Logical joins supports outer joins. so many else to mention... just go through RPD help file.

Importing materialized views from database into physical layer

Hi,
I have created materialized view in the database. When I try to import the materialized view into the physical layer in OBIEE 10G (using the import from database option), it is not showing in the list of available object. I have selected all the object types (tables,views etc.). Can you please let me know how to import the existing MVs in the database into the physical layer.

How to define join in physical layer between cube and relational table

Hi
I have a aggregated data in essbase cube. I want to supplement the information in the cube with data from relational source.
I read article http://community.altiusconsulting.com/blogs/altiustechblog/archive/2008/10/24/are-essbase-and-oracle-bi-enterprise-edition-obiee-a-match-made-in-heaven.aspx which describes how to do it.
From this article I gather that I have to define a complex join between the cube imported from essbase to my relational table in physical layer.
But when I use Join Manager I am only able to define jooin between tables from relation source but not with the imported cube.
In My case I am trying to join risk dimension in the cube based on risk_type_code (Gen3 member) with risk_type_code in relation table dt_risk_type.
How can I create this join?
Regards
Dhwaj

Hi
This has worked the BI server has joined the member from the oracle database to cube. So Now for risk type id defined in the cube I can view the risk type code and risk type name from the relational db.
But now if I want to find aggregated risk amount against a risk type id it brings back nothing. If I remove the join in the logical model then I get correct values. Is there a way by which I can combine phsical cube with relational model and still get the aggregated values in the cube?
I have changed the column risk amount to be sum in place of aggr_external both in logical and phsical model.
Regards,
Dhwaj

Error in Cube Deployment from Essbase Studio

Hi All,
I am very new to ESSBAE Studio. I build up a minischema, dimension element(drag and drop from minischema), hierarchy(using dimension element) , Cube Schema and Meta model.
Now when I'm going to deploy the model to Essbase Console It throws error :
Member load for dimension Measure started at: 29-Nov-2012 12:52:32 o'clock GMT.
Member load for dimension BU started at: 29-Nov-2012 12:52:32 o'clock GMT. Member load elapsed time: 1 Second.
No mapping found for class : \'test'\'Dimension Element_MS'\'BU_V'\'ESS_PARENT'.
Any help on this please.
Thanks in advance.

Hi KosuruS,
Thanks for your help. But,
1> I have duplicate member names(as shared hierarchy)..but not with delayed key binding.
2> I don't have any user defined member with member formula.
I have my Measure hierarchy which have user defined member other than measure all hierarchies are coming from views.
Even it shows error which is a staight hierarchy like :
currency
----usd
----eur
