  • New to ESSBase. Installed successfully. How to configure SQL Source.

    Hi,
    Installed the following.
    Installer
    Foundation Services
    Studio
    Client
    Within the Administartion Services console I am doing the following.
    Created and application, db and outline.
    Go to Data Prep Editor and try to use a SQL Source.
    The SQL Source and Substituion variables options are disabled.
    In windows I setup the ODBC sources.
    What else needs to be done?
    Thanks
    Chandu.

    Did you set up the ODBC on the Essbase server and did you set it up as a system dsn? It has to be set up there to work. Also, others might have, but I've never gotten it to work properly unless I used SQL authentication.

    As for adding members to the outline, you can either do it manually (not too painful for a Time Periods dimension), or if you have the members you need in a file, or available via SQL, then load 'em up using a Load Rule. Using the Parent/Child relationship is one of the preferred methods, but that means your source data needs to be in a parent / child relationship.
    There are other ways in the load rule, Generation, Level, etc, but if your source data isn't very good these methods of building the dimension can be a little harder to control.
    Here's a link to the DBAG for dataload rules.

  • Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a new to Essbase
    When I am launching the EAS web console and trying to log in, its giving me an error saying "Could not connect to Administration Server".
    I looked in ESSBASE log file its showing an error 1051429 : "Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error []"
    This error actually started when I copied an Essbase Application from one of my computers to another computer. All I simply did is copied the application folder into "app" folder. I am not sure if migration
    is possible just by copying and pasting the application folders. I am not sure if doing this messed up security with shared services. Also under c:\hyperion\essbase folder I see another text file named "SharedServices_Security_Client".
    Its log for today is below:

    Error establishing socket to host and port: chandan:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
    The SQL server itself is not running or TCP/IP is disabled. That can be confirmed by runing netstat and see it is listed there.

  • Unable to view Essbase App in Smartview

    Hello all,
    I am new to Essbase so I apologize if this is a silly question. I have created a new Essbase application but I am unable to view it in Smartview (using version 11.1). The Common Provider Connections does not refresh the list based on the new application. I know I created/deployed the app correctly (did this with help of Essbase person). That same person has not worked with 11 too much and could not help.
    However, I am able to see and connect to the application using the old Essbase Add-in.
    Do I need to trigger something else so the new application will show up in the Common Provider Connection list.
    Thanks,
    Darin

    Typically when you can't see an application in Smartview it is because you have your selector set to predefined or favorites. Change it to All and see if it makes a difference.

  • Grouping of measures in accounts dimension Essbase

    I am new to essbase .
    I am developing a cube for one of the requirements which has got
    following measures in accounts dimension
    1) Allocated quantity
    2) Picked Quantity
    3) Shipped Quantity
    4) Allocated Amount
    5) Picked Amount
    6) Shipped Amount
    Now I want to group these measures in 2 groups viz a) Qtys b) Amounts
    means
    Qtys : Allocated quantity
    Picked Quantity
    Shipped Quantity
    Amounts : Allocated Amount
    Picked Amount
    Shipped Amount
    wanted to show these groups along with its measures in Excel add in report .
    I am using Essbase Integration Services 11 to develop the metaoutline
    How to define these groups in accounts dimension
    Regards
    Amit

    If you have a way to differeniate these measures you can add user defined measures in EIS. One way you could differeniate them is to put in filtering sql the uses like clauses to select members with Quantity or amount in them and have them put under the headings you want

  • Rolling over to a new year

    I want to create a Forecast report that shows the Current Month ( I have a subtitution variable set for this) and the the next 3 months out. I can a relative member function to set the next 3 months but if the Month is Dec how can I change the year to show Jan 2004 instead of 2003? Can I set it dynamically in the report or can I create a new dimension in Essbase with a formula? Any help would be great I'm fairly new to Essbase.

    Unfortunately that did not post the way I typed it.Basically if you are in Excel your Row 1 column heading is your members from your Year dimension, your Row 2 column heading is your members from your Month Dimension, then your Measures would be your row headings. Sorry if I made this more confusing than it needed to be. If you want to send me an email, I will send you an Excel sheet showing what I [email protected]

    So, we checked the database and noticed the schema and their views were damaged and -due to this- they lost all their properties (like data types, for example). So, we had to recompile all of them in order to avoid any loss of data. This was done in TOAD, as per the following info: https://support.quest.com/SolutionDetail.aspx?id=SOL66821
    Finally, once all the views on this schema were rebuilt and fixed, we were able to deploy the Cube again.
    Hope this help in the future. Cheers!!

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Sudhir

    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.

  • Dimension Number of BSO Application on Essbase

    Hi,
    I'm new in Essbase and I should review an existent BSO application to improve its performance.
    This application has an outline with 5 dimensions, Measure (Account), Period (Time), KPI, Recalculated Market and Organizational Structure. These dimensions have respectively 58,36,4,38 and 5264 total members. I did Measure and Period dimension as Dense dimensions and the others as Sparse Dimension. In this way I will have a block size of 16,3 KB ((58*36)*8) and a number of block of 800128 blocks (5264*38*4).
    This is possible or this organization could create me some problems on performance?
    Should I use ASO application for this? I've read that for financial application with a few dimension BSO applications are good. The application that I discuss before is a financial application of a bank.
    Could someone tell me if the BSO usage is correct?
    Thanks

    I have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5 - Sample Application (V107) (VM) and after running all the start up scripts like (startOID.sh,startWLS.sh,startBI.sh and startESSB.sh) and using opmnctl status I am able to see that it is alive in VM.
    But when I try to access the VM from essbase studio client on windows I get the error "Network communication with the server failed. Check your network connection and try again.
    Connection refused: connect".
    I am very new to ESSBASE and its quite urgent.
    Appericate your help.
    Regards,
    Pushpesh Pallav.

    Hi,
    Add the property in server.properties file in Essbase studio with the below line
    server.essbase.streamingCubeBuilding=true
    and restart the Essbase Studio server as an administrative user.
    If the issue still exists, then verify the server properties for the catalog
    Hope it helps..

  • To reinstall Essbase server

    We would like to reinstall Essbase server to fix a server performance issue.Can we keep all App and Db to do this or is it necessary to delete all app before?Nota: Essbase 6.5.1 on windows NT 5 environmentThanks in advance

    You can reinstall and keep your applications assuming that you are installing to the same location. Follow the following steps:1) Rename bin directory (under /hyperion/essbase) to binold2) Check that there is an Essbase.sec for in this directory3) Run installation. Install to the same location as before.4) After the installation has completed copy the essbase.sec file from binold to the new /hyperion/essbase/binThe key thing here is that you keep your essbase.sec file. This contains security info, license key info and info re. your current applications.Hope this helps.Paul Armitagewww.analitica.co.uk

  • Not finding ESSBASE.CFG

    Hello Gurus!
    I am very new to Essbase.
    I had Hyperion Essbase 11.1.13 installed. When I added my first essbase server from the administration services console, it was added. Yet when I tried to open it i got the following error "Error: 1042017: Network error: The client or server timed out waiting to receive data using TCP/IP. Check network connections. Increase the NetRetryCount and/or NetDelay values in the ESSBASE.CFG file. Update this file on both client and server. Restart the client and try again."
    My problem is is that when I finally found the file essbase.cfg from F:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin, it consisted of the following:
    ; The following entry specifies the full path to JVM.DLL
    JvmModuleLocation F:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin\client\jvm.dll
    BPM_Oracle_DriverDescriptor "MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT Oracle Wire Protocol"
    BPM_DB2_DriverDescriptor "MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT DB2 Wire Protocol"
    BPM_SQLServer_DriverDescriptor "MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT SQL Server Wire Protocol"
    BPM_SQLServer_DriverDescriptor "SQL Server"
    ;BPM_Netezza_DriverDescriptor "NetezzaSQL"
    BPM_Teradata_DriverDescriptor "Teradata"
    BPM_ORACLEBI_DriverDescriptor "Oracle BI Server"
    AuthenticationModule CSS
    AGENTPORT 1423
    SERVERPORTBEGIN 32768
    SERVERPORTEND 33768
    AGENTDESC hypservice_1
    and I found nothing about NetRetryCount or NetDelay. Is it possible that I downloaded the file the wrong way and that the essbase.cfg isn't complete?
    Also, I read in a forum post that essbase.cfg is supposed tp be located in the directory $ARBORPATH but I haven't found such a folder when I searched for it.
    BTW I don't think it is exactly a network problem as I pinged the server and it worked just fine.
    Any help is appreaciated. Thanks in advance :)

    Thanks for response John :)
    the essbase.cfg now looks like this:
    ; The following entry specifies the full path to JVM.DLL
    JvmModuleLocation F:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin\client\jvm.dll
    BPM_Oracle_DriverDescriptor "MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT Oracle Wire Protocol"
    BPM_DB2_DriverDescriptor "MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT DB2 Wire Protocol"
    BPM_SQLServer_DriverDescriptor "MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT SQL Server Wire Protocol"
    BPM_SQLServer_DriverDescriptor "SQL Server"
    ;BPM_Netezza_DriverDescriptor "NetezzaSQL"
    BPM_Teradata_DriverDescriptor "Teradata"
    BPM_ORACLEBI_DriverDescriptor "Oracle BI Server"
    AuthenticationModule CSS
    AGENTPORT 1423
    SERVERPORTBEGIN 32768
    SERVERPORTEND 33768
    AGENTDESC hypservice_1
    NETDELAY 1000
    NETRETRYCOUNT 2000
    is it missing something?like a semicolumn or sth?
    Also, in the error msg it says:Update this file on both client and server. Restart the client and try again.
    my questions are:
    1- How do I update client and server
    2- how do I restart the client?
    Is there any reading material to help me with this?
