Migraton from EIS to Essbase Studio

Hi All,
We try to migrate the existing EIS (32 bits setup) into Essbase Studio (64 bits) environment.
The old EIS and SQL2000 are both installed on separate servers.
In the new environment we have a seperate server for Studio and SQL2008.
How to use the migration function ?
I have create an ODBC on the Studio-server with a connection to the SQL2000 server.
When I start the EIS catalog Migration, fill in the EIS Catalog ODCC DSN with the just created ODBC-name.
Then press the Fetch Models button and the message: No models could be fetched for the catalog etc.
What's going wrong. Your reaction is much appriciated !!

Ed

Thanks Glenn,
that gives me a better approach for my solution.
As metadata/data loading to the Planning application (workforce) will be part of an integration process we could then:
1. Load new Metadata to the Planning application
2. Refresh the planning databases
3. Run a MAXL Script to redeploy the Essbase-Studio cube (which is actually the Planning cube)
4. Load aggregated data to Essbase cube
5. Load detailed data to relational table in Essbase Studio.
now the cube is deployed with Essbase Studio so drill through should work as expected.
The integration process will be created in ODI so ODi will be responsible of loading metadata and data, and also executing the MAXL script for cube re-deployment
Do you think we are missing something in the macro steps above?

  • Migrating OLAP Models and Metaoutlines from EIS to Studio.

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to migrate metaoutlines and olap models from EIS to Essbase Studio.
    I am able to fetch all the models and metaoutlines but after that when i click on the Migrate button, it throws me this error:

    Any idea whats going wrong?
    Kindly help.

    It just means that in the dropdown you need to pick the name that maps to the schema where your meta/data tables are stored for the EIS model/metaoutline you are migrating.

  • Essbase Studio Data Sources

    Hello,
    we are familiar with Essbase Integration Services (EIS) which we use to build our essbase outline with the memberload-option.
    EIS itself uses configured ODBC-DSN to read data from relational databases. Because EIS uses the ODBC DSN of the system where EIS Server is running it is possible to use other ODBC-DSN/Drivers than the from DataDirect supported ones.
    Because we have a big EDW which is not supported officially in the Essbase Support Stack we still have the requirement to use our EDW as Data Source to Build the Outline (The Essbase Data Load also uses a EDW ODBC-DSN to load Data).
    In fact the Essbase Data Load via a free configurable ODBC will still work.
    But if we look for a Step from EIS to Essbase Studio we recognize that Essbase Studio will only Support some few Databases (in 11.1.2.3 it is Oracle (+RAC), MS SQL, MySQL, DB2, Netezza, Teradata)
    Does anybody knows other RDBMS / ODBC-Drivers that already have successfully configured/tested with Essbase Studio.
    The Documentation still say that Essbase Studio will Support relational databases but i think they mean the ones which are hard-coded in the essbase studio console gui.
    Best Regards,
    Kai

    It doesn't have to but it makes life much easier.

  • EIS to Essbase data load process

    I have two user defined queries in a metaoutline. When i perform dataload operation from EIS, the Essbase application log says that dataload updated [] cells and Data Load Elapsed Time [] seconds but the EIS dataload process is still running. It seems that Essbase is loading the data only for the first query and completing dataload while EIS is still running second query.Has anyone else experienced this problem? Essbase and EIS both are 6.5.0.

    In EIS
    1) You have to define the Logical OLAP Model connecting to the relational source.It defines the joins between fact table and dimension tables.
    2) Based on the OLAP Model You have to create meta outline which defines the rules for loading members and data into essbase.

  • EPMA Essbase Studio Drill-through

    If I deploy a Planning application via EPMA is it possible to configure drill-through from Planning via Essbase Studio?
    Thanks,
    Jz

    The drill-through path from Planning is from a web-form to FDM.
    Can this hack drill through from a Planning web-form or would I need to created reports in Planning to drill-through?
    The Studio documentation only talks about Reports...

  • 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
    Edited by: 990463 on Feb 26, 2013 7:40 AM

    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.

    Hi all,
    We are trying to connect connect to Teradata server from Essbase studio console from Windows.
    The Essbase Studio server is on Linux. We can ping to the Teradata server both from Windows ad Linux.
    But when we enter the server name, user name and password, it tells connection can't be established.
    We have put the Teradata jdbc driver jar files inside the EssbaseStudio server directory.
    We are getting same connection can't be established error in the Essbase Studio server logs.
    Do we need to put the jar files somewhere in Windows as well?
    Can someone help?
    Thanks.

    I assume you looked at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_user.pdf in the admin section. There is another thing, In the Essbase.cfg file is a section that looks like

  • Excel Addin Pull error from Essbase studio cube

  • 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.

  • 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 - Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server

    Hi all,
    I am new to Hyperion and am having trouble deploying what seems a simple cube in Essbase Studio.
    My environment is Windows 2003, EPM 11.1.1.2, SQL Server 2000.
    I have the following two issues which may be related.
    1. The EPM System Diagnostic tool says that Hyperion Foundation cannot connect to the SQL database.
    Error:
    Failed: Connection to database
    Error: java.net.UnknownHostException: <server name: <server name>
    Recommended Action:
    Every other EPM application is able to connect to the database. I have tried re-configuring Foundation Services and checking the config files and nothing looks wrong. I would appreciate advice on how to fix this.
    2 In Essbase Studio, I was able to connect to the database where the source data is, build the minischema and create dimensions and measures. But when I run the cube deployment wizard I get the error:
    Message: Failed to deploy Essbase cube
    Caused By: Failed to build Essbase cube dimension: (Time)
    Caused By: Cannot incremental build. Essbase Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
    …ODBC Layer Error: [08001] ==> [[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.]
    I have checked the DSN as well as the connections set up within Studio, and they are all able to connect to the database. I am using the admin user for the Essbase server and have created a different user for the databases where the data resides and the shared services database. I tried using the same user all the way through and this didn’t help.
    Can you please advise what else I can check or change to resolve this issue.
    Also, can you work in EAS with cubes that are created in Studio? I tried looking at it and I got an error that the rule file couldn’t be accessed because it was created in Studio.
    After the above failures, I tried creating a cube in EIS, with mixed success. I have been able to load the members and data without errors. But when I try to view the data in the cube, I am seeing field names for the measures instead of the data itself.
    ...Definitely more questions than answers at this stage of my learning.
    Regards
    Michelle

    Michelle,
    I don't know if you found an answer to you question after so many months but I was hoping I could be helpful.
    The issue you are experience happens often when the dimension that you are getting an error on, in this case TIME, is built from a snowflake lineage and there is a bad foreign key reference. This dimension is most like high-up in your outline build process for Essbase Studio and this prevents the build from happening usually early on.
    Check your logs also. They are in Hyperion > Products > logs > essbase > essbasestudio.
    You can also make your logs more verbose by setting a configuration variable in the essbase studio server.properties file but that should only be used for debugging as it really saps performance.
    And, yes, you can of course edit an Essbase Studio deployed cube in EAS. However, any changes you make to the cube in EAS are subject to being wiped-out upon the next Essbase Studio deployment of that Applicaion/Database combo.
    If you want to provide more detail, screenshots, etc. I would be glad to help where I can.
    Cheers,
    Christian

  • Essbase Studio Issue

    Hello Experts,
    I am new to Essbase Studio.
    I have a few applications created in the AAS Console. Is it possible to view the created applications in Essbase Studio? If yes, please suggest the steps.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you read the introduction and user guide to studio > http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/est_help/frameset.htm?ch02s01.htm
    You can open EAS from within Studio. Though Studio is not really designed for editing existing essbase applications. You need to compare studio to EIS not EAS.

  • Drill through operation required in Essbase  (ERPI or Essbase studio?)

    Hello Everyone,
    We would be starting Planning + Essbase project
    We have a project requirement where we are looking to implement the Drill through operations
    Following is the tool suggested to us
    1) Oracle ERP integrator to achieve the drill through objective.
    I have previously heard about two other products which can also achieve the drill through objective.
    1) Essbase studio
    2) Essbase integration Services (EIS)
    We might require drill through operations from Hyperion financial reporting reports ..is it possible to achieve
    Drill through in FR reports using the latter two mentioned technologies?
    What are a pros & cons of Using ERPI over the other two drill through tools?

    Are you sure you (gasp) want to use the classic add-in?
    There are a lot of limitations:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/est_user/apas09s01.html
    This one in particular would be fatal for me:
    >
    In Spreadsheet Add-in, cubes built by Essbase Studio do not display the visual clues that denote drill-through cells. Because there is no way to know for certain which particular cells are drill-through cells, any data cell in the spreadsheet is a potential drill-through cell.
    >
    That link tells you how to test to see if a cell can be drilled on, but why would you want to do that?
