OBIEE 11.1.1.6 with Essbase Cube

Hi,
Anyone using Essbase cube as data source for OBIEE 11.1.1.6? which port should be open in Essbase server for OBIEE admin tool to import metadata?
When we use publisher for reporting, it is very slow with Essbase cube? anyone has issues here also
Thank you.
BCHK

Hi,
By default port no :1423 (Essbase) and for obiee (9704)
can you try to use 1423 also try
To finding the port no just login to your weblogic console(FMW) the
http://IP:7001/console ---> then go to Home-->servers-->here you can Admin Server/bi_Server are listed out with port no.just find it.
P.S: we just open firwal for below port no just fyi..
TCP(9703,9704,9705,9710,9810,80,443,1433,1423,8080,389,7001,7002,7003) ports
Thanks

Can someone assist me how to resolve this error
Thanks,

Satya,
Have you done anything to modify the essbase drill logic within your BMM?
Remember when modeling essbase you should just try to use the defaults first to ensure that all works correctly the first time through. Then you can adjust any hiearchies, federate, etc.

Throws severe error in OBIEE SA with Essbase Cube as Source

Hi All,
Currently we built the SA using Essbase ASO cube as source.Wehen we are trying to drag more then 4-5 dimension hierarchies it throws an severe error
Essbase Error: Query is allocating too large memory(>4GB) and cannot be executed.Query allocation exceeds allocation limits(HY000)
I am not able to identify the same in Essbase Excel addin.All are single-level based hierarchies and the count of dimensions is not more than 1000.
Can someone help me out to find out a way to resolve this issue or any work around.
Thanks,
SatyaB

What is the version that you using for OBIEE and Essbase ?? This is a know bug when Essbase as a source is used for OBIEE reporting. Try to get in touch with Oracle Support by raising an SR and getting correct patch (set of library files) for your system.
This shud solve your problem.

Problem with Integration Essbase cube with obiee

Hi Everyone,
I am in a OBIEE where i need to use Essbase cubes as source for generating OBIEE reports.I am able to import the cube successfuly into Physical layer and when i drag it into BMM layer its getting splitted up into Facts,dimensions and hierachies. No measure in fact table of cube in BMM layer. What i got to know was all the meaures what all needed for reporting are into one hierachy and when i get it into BMM layer its getting converted into Dimension. Here i tried to generate reports by making dimension as fact but no use.
Please suggest me ,any other ways to get it.

Any suggestions on this issue.Check the sawserver.out log file to see if you can find more details on the server. This could more likely be because of the incorrect configuration in OBIEE. Refer to the Doc ID on MOS: 1104749.1 for further details and what configuration changes needs to be made.

Communicating with Essbase Server

Hi
As you know, there are three ways that you can communicate with Essbase cubes.
1. using ESSCMD Commands
2. using MaxL Shell Commands
3. using Integration Services Shell Commands
They all have Command-line interfaces. You can execute Essbase operations at the command line, in either batch or interactive mode. If you want an external program to run a batch file with these commands remotely, then what's the best way to do that? Or does Essbase provide any other tool (like Web Service API) to communicate with Essbase server remotely? I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some guidence on this.
Regards
Chandra

Hi,
There are a number of APIs that can be used to directly communicate with essbase, have a look at :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_api/topapilist.htm

Issue with federation between OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and Essbase ASO Cube 11.1.2.1

Hi All,
I am trying to retrieve relational attributes from a confirmed dimension to the Essbase Cube.
However I am facing lot of issues/errors during rpd development.
Both the Essbase Cube hierarchy and Table that contians attributes are from same relational source.
Essbase 11.1.2.1 and OBIEE 11.1.1.5 are both cmpatabile versions.
I read this blog and didn't got the solution
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2009/11/oracle-bi-ee-10-1-3-4-1-essbase-connectivity-enriching-essbase-reports-with-relational-attributes/
Can someone assist me with some better option to proceed further for horizontal federation
Thanks,
SatyaB

You shouldn't have to restart Essbase as it should automatically sync, there may be additional information in SharedServices_Security_Client.log though it is probably worth logging with Oracle.

Issue in integrating Essbase cubes with OBIEE

I am trying to use Essbase cubes as datasource in OBIEE for generating reports,but the issue is in generating , No columns in fact table of cube in BMM layer.
Outline of cube is
Revel(cube)
(Hierachies)
Time Time <5> (Label Only)
Item <54> (Label Only) (Two Pass)
DepInst <20> (Label Only)
SFA_Flag <2>

CR_Agency <5>
I am confused how to generate reports without measures in fact table.
Regards
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
in that case it's as I thought:
Or did you just not specify any measure hierarchy?You tried this...
In BMM layer i made this dimension as fact and tried to create reports but not use....which isn't the way. First of all your cube seems to be built quite bizarre since it doesn't even provide a default measure hierarchy so I'd have your Essbase guys check that.
As for the OBIEE side: the key is the physical layer. BMM's already too late. In the physical cube object, you must define one of the hierarchies as the measure hierarchy (since your cube doesn't seem to provide it; see above):

Combining relation facts with dimensions from an Essbase cube

Hi!
I am having trouble combining relational measures (from EBS) with dimensions from an Essbase cube. The dimensions that we want to use for reporting (drilling etc) are in an Essbase cube and the facts are in EBS.
I have managed to import both the EBS tables and the cube into OBIEE (11.1.15) and I have created a business model on the cube. For the cube I converted the accounts dimension to a value based dimension, other than that it was basically just drag and drop.
In this business model I created a new logical table with an LTS consisting of three tables from the relational database.
The relational data has an account key that conforms to the member key of the accounts dimension in the Essbase cube. So in the accounts dimension (in the BMM layer) I mapped the relational column to correct column (that is already mapped to the cube) - this column now has two sources; the relational table and the cube. This account key is also available in the LTS of my fact table.
The content levels for the LTS in the fact table have all been set to detail level for the accounts dimension.
So far I am able to report on the data from the fact table (only relational data) and I can combine this report with account key from the account dimension (because this column is mapped to the relational source as well as the cube). But if expand the report with a column (from the accounts dimension) that is mapped only to the cube (the alias column that contains the description of the accounts key), I get an error (NQSError 14025 - see below).
Seeing as how I have modeled that the facts are connected to the dimension through the common accounts key, I cannot understand why OBIEE doesn't seem to understand which other columns - from the same dimension - to fetch.
If this had been in a relational database I could have done this very easily with SQL; something along the lines of select * from relational_fact, dim_accounts where relational_fact.account_key=dim_accounts.account_key.
Error message:
[nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail
Edit:

Mogens

Avneet gave you the beginnings of one way, but left out that a couple of things. First, you would want to do the export of level zero only. Second, the export needs to be in column format and third, you need to make sure the load rule you use is set to be additive otherwise the last row will overwrite the previouse values.
A couple of other wats I can think of doing this
Create a replicated partition that maps the 3 non used dimensiosn to null (Pick the member at the top of the dimension in your mapping area)
Create a report script to extract the data putting the three dimensions in the page so they don't show up.
Use the custom defined function jexport in a calc script to get what you want

Doing OBIEE with Essbase as datasource, anybody who has experience?

Hello guys
Does anybody have good experience dealing with essbase data on OBIEE? Essbase doesn't seem to be a relational database like oracle, data are stored as cube. One cube contains dimesion and fact attributes with hierarchical levels defined in essbase.
I don't have experience dealing with these type of scenario, therefore I run into a lot of issues when I try to create report on answers..
Typically, when I apply any conversation functions or "SQL expression" values on date column filters or contents (such as cast(column as date), or filter on current_date on SQL Expressions) and create reports with measures, I get errors: [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
If create reports only with date column alone with the above applied, I get errors like inconsistent data type or something..
I believe that for some reasons when OBIEE sends the query to essbase and get converted into MDX, something got lost in translations.
With the same environment, I imagine if I were to create some dynamic variables with select statement, it will also not work since there is no "column" and "table" in essbase the same way as in relational database. So how would I define dynamic variables with max sales or something?
So is there any help I can get in terms of dealing with essbase on obiee?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Without access to the rpd you're not going to get far. Yes, you can achieve both things, but it will mean writing MDX and to use MDX in both the filters and the columns is not something I'd recommend since you'll be facing loads of issues.
Date filter:
The "normal" function you're using won't work. That's for sure. You will have to wrap the whole thing into an EVALUATE and write MDX...like the Lag function I mentioned before. If your time dimension is just taken over from Essbase in the normal drag-and-drop way, then it won't be a full "time dimension" anyway.
A column formula along the lines of this:
EVALUATE('[Time Period].[2009-04-15].Lag(7)')
Measure calculation:
Again, without access to the rpd this will be pretty hard to do due to the question where the aggregation actually happens. Venkat wrote about that recently.

OBIEE with Essbase as datasource-what I need to know

I am getting into a project where Essbase is the datasource. I know nothing about Essbase but I an experienced OBIEE prof. Can anyone tell me the things I need to know about integrating Essbase with OBIEE, using Essbase cubes in obiee. I looking for some basic fundamentals of Essbase so I could successfully use Essbase cubes with OBIEE.
I find lot of materials online but not sure what I need to know for using Essbase as datasource for OBIEE. Any insight / links would be of lot of help. Thanks a million

It really depends on what you plan to do and which products in the stack you're going to use for what. If you intend to use Essbase as an aggregation layer to speed up you analysis, then you should look into learning more about fine-tuning your Essbase applications in terms of data loads, aggregation, optimizing calculations,...in terms of languages MDX and MaxL.
If you're looking to integrate applications like Workspace as well then you'll have to look at those as well.
Both areas are vast in terms of applications and functionalties so I'd suggest learning the basics and then deepening your know-how according to needs.

Windows error when importing Essbase cube into OBIEE

Hi all:
This question is perhaps more relevant to the OBIEE forum, but I put it up there a few days ago and got no response. So now I'm hoping to get some help on this side of BI land!
My issue is that I'm trying to import an Essbase cube (system 11) into BI Admin Tool, but whenver I go to "Import from multidimensional" and hit "OK" after entering in the essbase server name and log/pwd, the BI Admin tool crashes. I get no error msg except for a couple of errors I see in the Windows event log:
1. Faulting application path: C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\AdminTool.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essapinu.dll
2. Faulting application path: C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\AdminTool.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
I'm running a standalone OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on my local machine (Windows 7 32-bit) and the Essbase Server is on a separate Windows 2008 machine. I can ping between machines and all ports are open on the Essbase machine, so I don't think this is a network related issue. Also, my OBI RPD is working fine in all other respects. I have other data sources working in there with no trouble. My Essbase server is also working fine. I also tried to do this in a new RPD in case the old one was corrupted, but get the same issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Akshay

Akshay,
You must have the Essbase client installed on the same machine where your OBI Administration Tool is installed. This should get you past the error that you are receiving and should fix your problem. Since you are running 32-bit just download the 32-bit Essbase client from Oracle. You will most likely need to run download the required files to install the Essbase client and with Hyperion 11x you should be familiar with that required software matrix since you have Essbase running on a seperate server already.
But now looking at your post I see that you state that one of the paths in your error is C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\essapinu.dll. The path C:\Oracle\Middleware is usually seen in Hyperion EPM 11.1.2. So, are you running Essbase 11.1.2 and OBIEE 10g or are you running OBIEE 11g? You'll need to specificy as OBIEE 11g can only interface with Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2 at present. And if I recall correctly the 11.1.2 Essbase client does not work with OBIEE 10g. Please clarify on these points.
Let me know if that helps fix your issue. If that doesn't fix it post back here and we see if we can keep you going forward.
Don't forget to reward points.
Cheers,
Christian

Integrating Essbase cubes with Oracle Tables in BI Server

I'm trying to link together data from an aggregated Essbase Cube with some static table data from our oracle system. Both the essbase and oracle data exist correctly in their own right in the physical, business and presentation levels. Aggragted data is client sales, static data is client details
Within the OBIEE Administration tool I've tried to drag the physical oracle table for clients onto the clients essbase section in the business area, and it seems to work OK, until you try and report on them together and I get the following error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
Can anyone advise on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Thanks Christian I found some very useful articles (one or two by you) - I'll have to look harder on the net before posting.
One thing I found out, with respect to vertical federation, that others may benefit from, is that I fuond it much easier to start from the most detailed level and then attach the less detailed source rather start with the less detailed and add the additional on.

Cpp error in answers with subject area referencing an essbase Cube

Hi!
I'm using obiee 11.1.1.5.0 and essbase cube like subject area.
I have an error doing a simply report. My report contains three columns:
First column: Dimension Entity--> This column has 3 different bins so if I edit fx formula I can see different Case statement.
Second Column: measure (filtered by Scenario=Real)
Third Column: measure (filtered by Scenario=presentation variable (budget))
My report not work when I combine a case statement and different measures filtered by different scenarios. If I delete third column my report works but I need two scenarios
*measure has Sum aggregated in logical layer. (I have tried with default (External Aggr) and doesn't work)
Maybe I have to activate some option of features of Connection Pool in physical layer?
Any help??
thanks!!!

Hello!
This is the error that I can see in answers page:
