MSAS 2005 Cube

Hi All,
Can we create additional Objects on the universe using MSAS 2005 Cubes???
Here I mean to say, I want to define the complex object defination on Universe using the objects which are available form MSAS 2005 Cubes...
Kindly guide me for the same ....
Thanks,
Hiren Rai

Hi,
Yes you can create new calculated measures in OLAP universes.
Calculated measures definition are written in MDX.
Please have a look on the Designer documentation [Designer's guide |http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP2/en/xi31_sp2_designer_en.pdf]
You will find also several documents with best practices and also with hints and tips on how to design calculated measures: [https://portal.wdf.sap.corp/irj/portal?navigationtarget=navurl://eaeb8478be0da5e948e0e9f319c9c499&NavigationContext=NavigationContext=navurl://7f6f53bebf57a991a023fca93dc3f9cd]
You will find also bunch of documents related to OLAP universes here: [https://wiki.wdf.sap.corp/wiki/display/globalregions/SAP+Integration]

  • Universe on MSAS 2005 Cubes

    Hi,
    I created a universe based on MSAS 2005 cubes. then i tried to create a webi report, it is throwing an error, where as i can create a report in rich client but unable to perform drill operations in rich client.
    I am using the Bo XI 3.1 Sp3.
    I created a universe using the designer.
    the error message in webi is :
    A database error occured. The database error text is: An error occurred while trying to load the provider for transport odbo. Failed to load library . System error message: The specified module could not be found.. (WIS 10901)
    can we create a universe based on MSAS cubes using the designer?
    can any one please help me how to solve this issue?
    Thanks

    HI deepu,
    My admin installed MSAS 2005 in BOE and now i am able to create/run webi reports. now i got drill issue in webi and rich client.
    i can able to drill down but when i click on drill up, it is throwing an error, then onwards, i am unable to perform any drill oparations , each time i click drill up\down, it is throwing error.
    the error message is :
    An internal error occured while calling 'executeDrillAction' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)
    Could you please help me solve this issue.

  • Connecting SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g

    Hello experts,
    I'm trying to link an SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g.
    In Oracle BI Administration, when I choose File -> Import -> From
    Multi-dimensional, I have to fill the next gaps:
    Provider Type: Analysis Services 2005
    URL: ***********
    User: blank
    Password: blank
    Before to do that, I need to create the URL path.
    To create the URL, I have followed this link.
    http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2008/08/obiee-connection-to-msas-2005-
    cube.html
    But, it hasn't worked because when I was trying to configure the HTTP
    access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, we have to perform a test to ensure that it has been well configured. In IIS -> WebSites -> Default WebSites -> olap, we should browse the document called "msmdpump.dll" and this should show an xml document, but it doesn't.
    Thanks!

    Hi Alex
    It sounds like your MS data pump might not be configured correctly. First ensure that is working before trying to put the values into OBIEE. Don't worry about the 500 error - I get that too instead of an XML page.
    You can read a bit more about SSAS support on my blog here:
    http://total-bi.com/2010/12/obiee-sql-server-analysis-services-cubes/
    Here's the link to Microsoft's description of setting up msmdpump.dll

  • Poor performance when accessing a MSAS 2008 cube via BI Server

    I am having an issue with performance when accessing a MSAS 2008 cube via the BI Server.
    I think it has to do with the way that the MDX is being generated.
    Please could someone advise on any settings I could try or any known issues with the integration?
    Thanks,

    Hi Kim,
    Sorry I can't help out, but, I'm curious how you got the AS 2008 drivers installed for use with OBIEE? I have an AS2008 environment, but, my OBIEE version only supports 2000 and 2005.
    Thanks,

    Anyone had similar issue. Could you please share your experience and resolution if any.
    Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

    Hi Shiven,
    In your scenario, the issue occur at sometimes, right? Base on my research, the issue can be caused by that calculation estimate exceeded available memory. Possibly due to possible number of dimension members and sizes of keys. And 32bit environment didn’t
    allow for any expansion to the SSAS memory space.
    To avoid this issue, please try to use userva to fine tune the 3GB setting down to 2900 since /3GB is the likely
    cause (has been for most other customers who encountered the same problem before). The KB Articles below discuss that setting in detail.
    How to use the /userva switch with the /3GB switch to tune the User-mode space to a value between 2 GB and 3 GB

  • Hierarchies on Universe on top of MSAS cube

    All,
    I have created an Universe on top of a MSAS 2005 cube. I am using BOXI3.1 base version.
    1. I noticed that none of the already predefined hierarchies in the cube get automatically set as custom hierarchies in the BO Universe.
    I would need to manually set the hierarchies again on the Universe. Is this working as designed or am i missing something here?

    Thanks Didier.
    However if i activate the drill-down in a  webi report based on cube universe , i am unable to perform any slice/dice or drilling based on these default hierarchies.
    Just to rephrase the question: the MSAS cube has these custom hierarchies which you can use through proclarity or excel..however when universe is created on top the cube..those custom hierarchies are not flowing in as a part of the creation.
    Let me know if this is function as designed.

  • OLAP Universe on MSAS2005 cubes

    All,
    I have built an OLAP Universe on top of MSAS 2005 cube. I have BOXI3.1 base version in Windows.
    I am seeing two immediate problems
    1. Atrocious performance - A simple query that will return in a snap in say Proclarity or Excel keeps running for 15 - 20 mins.
    2. Once results are available, if i try to go back to the "edit query" panel my webi report panel just freezes. I can close it and go back to infoview, but my current query is lost. I see this behavior ( report panel freeze - mine is Java2) also in a long running query.
    Can anyone kindly assist with suggestions based on your experience.
    Edited by: ramaks on Nov 23, 2009 8:58 PM

    Hello Didier,
    Thank you for your response. It is indeed my understanding that significant improvements have been done in SP2 and higher releases and we do look forward to the improvements in the next release.
    However i currently am tied to BOXI 3.1 base version. SP2 is still under packaging within our firm so i am not expecting it to be fully ready and tested for two months.
    I need to expose our cube based universe with the BOXI3.1 base version ( no fix-packs, service packs) in a month. So basically i am looking for any configuration tricks/tips that will help me improve performance
    Based on your suggestions
    1. We recommend to not create one big query but prefer to create several queries in Web Intelligence with synchronization.
    - Can you provide more details on this?
    2. Moreover it is also recommended to create mandatory filters in the universes (a la SAP variables) to filter the data.
    - Would not refreshing the universe structure over-write filters that have been created? My apologies if this is not true,
    i tried this a few months back and saw this behavior.

  • Log MDX generated against the cube

    All,
    I am creating Webi reports using the universe built on MSAS 2005 cube.We have BOXI 3.1 base version ( no fixpacks/service packs) on Windows.
    I would like to automatically log the MDX generated by BO to perform some analysis. Would also like some more time-line details as to when BO fired the query to cube, how long did cube take to return data and time taken by BO to output the report.
    Can someone suggest a simple way to do this? Would tracing on any Webi Reporting Servers help?
    Regards

    Sorry Didier.
    For some reason if i save the file it is saved as 0 bytes and if i try to open directly , the zip archive is empty.
    Can you please attach this as a pdf or word document?

  • Re-Order Voyager Dimension Member

    I've created reports in Voyager Workspace based on MSAS 2005 cubes. the dimension members are appearing as per the dimension structure in MSAS and I'm unable to re-order the dimension members. Is there a way to re-order the dimension members in Voyager workspace.
    This feature used to be available in the earlier OLAP Intelligence and Crystal Analysis as well.
    Thanks

    There is currently no real way of reordering members in Voyager, a workaround is to create a calculation of that member in the position where you want to see the existing member and then hide the existing member.

  • OLAP Universe

    New to Universes ***
    i have created an OLAP universe from MSAS 2005 cube.  Each dimension object contains a detail attribute named KEY0.  However, I can see the value of KEY0 only on the "(All)" object and all have a value of 0.  The other KEY0 details can be queried, but are empty. 
    Is KEY0 the 'unique' member value and why can't i see it?
    Many thanks...

    Hi,
    There is no additional license required to use OLAP universes excepted for SAP NW that requires SAP Integration kit.
    But if you want to use OLAP universes on any OLAP data source supported by the product you need to install the middleware before to create connections.
    For Essbase you need to install a compatible Essbase client version dependening on your Essbase server.
    If you are using OLAP Intelligence you need an addtional license.

  • What has changed for OLAP Universe in BOXI3.1 SP2

    All,
    I would like to understand what has changed in BOXI3.1 SP2 in comparison with BOXI3.1 base version for OLAP universes.
    We design Universe on top of MSAS 2005 cubes and create webi reports.
    Based on BOXI3.1 SP2 what's new document- the enhancements seem to affect the Universe Designer- providing a developer with more control and options.
    I am interested in learning if the release has any features that improves performance of BO against MSAS cubes.
    Any feedback would be much appreciated.
    Edited by: ramaks on Dec 11, 2009 11:02 PM

    Hi,
    Here is the list of feature we have added in SP2 for OLAP universes:
    <li>Definition and Where editors enabled
    <li>Prompt editor
    <li>MDX dictionary
    <li>New parameters and controls at universe generation time
    <li>Refresh Structure (aka Universe Update or Universe Life Cycle Management)
    <li>Universe SDK enhancements.
    You will find in attachment a PDF that describes the enhancements.

  • OLAP universe query filters using multiple key values

    Hi,
    We are running BO over a MSAS 2005 cube and due to reporting requirements we have had to split the year out from the standard time hierarchy so we have it as a separate hierarchy from the rest of the time hierarchy. We also have 2 other dimension objects we use to find the current reporting month (shown below as Current Month and Current Year) which link to the Year and Month dimensions to give us the current year and current month.
    I have created predefined filters in the universe for Last Month and Last 6 Months etc which link the 2 hierarchies together to dynamically find the correct months to pull out based on the current reporting month.
    The issue i am facing is that when these filters are used in reports we are not able to pull through the Year dimension in the report as we receive the error: "The Year Hierarchy hierarchy is used more than once in the Crossjoin function"
    We can however use the Month dimension in reports even though it is also referenced in the filter definition.
    I have narrowed the issue down to the fact the Month dimension is mentioned in the Filter Key which allows it to be used in the reports.
    Is it possible to include 2 key values or are there any other ideas on how to tackle this problem so i can include the both the year and month in reports using these filters?
    Last Month filter:
    <FILTER KEY="@Select(Period To Date\Month).[TECH_NAME]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="InList"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="CASE WHEN FILTER(@Select(Period To Date\Month).Members,@Select(Period To Date\Current Month).[Y]).Item(0)= @Select(Period To Date\Month).[January] THEN {CrossJoin(FILTER(@Select(Period To Date\Month).Members,@Select(Period To Date\Current Month).[Y]).Item(0).lead(11),FILTER(@Select(Period To Date\Year).Members,@Select(Period To Date\Current Year).[Y]).Item(0).lag(1))} ELSE CrossJoin(FILTER(@Select(Period To Date\Month).Members,@Select(Period To Date\Current Month).[Y]).Item(0).lag(1),FILTER(@Select(Period To Date\Year).Members,@Select(Period To Date\Current Year).[Y]).Item(0)) END"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER>
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Daniel, may I ask one more question please?
    what if I have 4 tables?
    table1
    ID * ID_Type_code * Name
    0001 * 11 * abc
    0002 * 12 * abcd
    0003 * 13 * abcde
    table2
    ID * OID_type_code * Name
    0001 * 22 * abc
    0002 * 23 * abcd
    0002 * 25 * abcd
    0003 * 23 * abcde
    0003 * 22 * abcde
    0003 * 28 * abcde
    table3
    ID * OID_type_code * OGAD_line_id * address
    0001 * 22 * 1 * a street
    0001 * 22 * 2 * b street
    0002 * 23 * 1 * c street
    0002 * 25 * 1 * d street
    0003 * 28 * 1 * e street
    0003 * 28 * 2 * f street
    0003 * 28 * 3 * g street
    table 4
    ID OID_type_codeOGAD_line_id*COP_line_id*phone number
    0001*22*1*1*2222222222
    0001*22*1*2*3333333333
    0002*23*1*1*4444444444
    0003*28*2*1*5555555555
    0003*28*2*2*6666666666
    Primary key for each table
    table1, primary key is ID
    table2, primary key is ID , OID_type_code
    table3, primary key is ID , OID_type_code, OGAD_line_id
    table4, primary key is ID , OID_type_code, OGAD_line_id , COP_line_id
    I would like to show each value in each table in the separate input text fields.
    Therefore, this is an advanced question based on the previous one, not only get values from one table but also from several tables based on input for example 0003 and 28 as the ID and OID_type_code?.
    Let me know if you need more details,
    Thank you so much,

  • Webi reports using MSAS universe

    I am using BO XI R3.1. I have created a universe by connecting it to Microsoft Analysis services 2005. In connection, I used OLE DB for OLAP providers for MSAS 2005. I used user specified user name and password and provided a domain service account that has access on the cube. Connection is successful and it brought all objects and classes from the cube. I exported the universe and tried creating reports in Webi using it.
    In Webi, I can access the universe and see all classes and objects. But when I run the report it gives and error "Could not find data provider msolap.3 (WIS 10901)".
    I tried to investigate and changed BO service "Server Intelligent Agent" to run on the same domain account instead of local system account. In CMC I changed the user properties to enable database credentials and gave same domain user account. Still the report does not run.
    As a background, BO server is running on a separate windows 2003 server and MSAS 2005 is on a separate windows 2003 server.
    Can someone please help me on this. Does it have anything to do with kerberos setup to pass security credentials across the servers?
    Thanks

  • Connection errors when configuring OBIEE to access data in MS Analysis Cube

    Hi,
    I also have a requirement of making reports in OBIEE using MSAS 2005 Olap Cube as a source.
    I have installed SQL Server 2005 with analysis services on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (Service Pack 1).
    I have applied SQL Server 2005 Patch (SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe).
    The customer has sent me a database dump and a Cube dump.
    I have restored the database and Cube in the database and analysis server.
    I am able to see the cube through the management studio.
    Now I have to make reports in OBIEE with the MSAS Cube as a source.
    For this I configured Virtual directory using the link:
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/httpasws.mspx
    Then when I try to import the cube from OBIEE RPD by giving the URL
    http://10.176.230.227/olap/msmdpump.dll
    I get the following error :
    nQSError: 46100 Sax parser failed with error an exception occurred Type NetAccessorException Message Could not connect to the socket for URL http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd
    I have everything installed on a single system (Sql Server,IIS,OBIEE 10.1.3.4 ).
    Regards,
    Krishna

    Before trying to use this URL in OBIEE to import cubes, try this in Internet Explorer.
    Follow the following steps:
    a. Run this URL in Internet Explorer
    b. You should get an output like this:
    +
    - <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    - <soap:Body>
    - <soap:Fault xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <faultcode>XMLAnalysisError.0xc10e0002</faultcode>
    <faultstring>Parser: The syntax for 'GET' is incorrect.</faultstring>
    - <detail>
    <Error ErrorCode="3238920194" Description="Parser: The syntax for 'GET' is incorrect." Source="Unknown" HelpFile="" />
    </detail>
    </soap:Fault>
    </soap:Body>
    </soap:Envelope>
    +
    c. If yes, this proves that the virtual directory in IIS has been configured properly. If you get any other message, for example "Page cannot be displayed" or "Page not found", it means there are some issues with Virtual directory.
    Try this and let me know the results...and then we can proceed further
