OBIEE and Essbase- Would you yet? Do you Yet?

How many of you are using OBIEE with Essbase? IF you are does it give you the functionality you need? Is it better to wait for the next release where tree structures and asymitrical hierarchies are supported? I have mixed feeling about the current implementation and want to get others feedback

Hi GlennS,
1. For one of our projects ,we started with OBIEE with essbase, and we ran into issues with the current available version of OBIEE
2. The issues mainly being , the available versions of OBIEE is not OLAP aware .So, team has faced issues with hierarchies..etc.Though, there is a way to make it OLAP aware, we were not pretty happy with overall experience.
3. I have heard that next release of OBIEE is very much OLAP aware and would have no issue with essbase. So, we are waiting for the release .
4. Others , pls share your experiences

OBIEE and ESSBASE federated queries..

Hello all ,
I am working on a requirement that requires configuring federated queries using OBIEE and Essbase as an aggregation layer. I am able to configure everything except for one dimension where this dimension in Essbase uses shared members. Any help /guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sunil

Thanks for the response. I did go further from that day on the issue. But this is where I currently am stuck.
The issue is on this:;
1. Have a Measure in Essbase at a Grain higher than then OBIEE grain for a dimension and I need to create a report which calculated based on both the essbae measure and the OBIEE measure.
I have to create a report which would take the Essbase Measure, Divide by the OBIEE measure and display the value (Note: This OBIEE measure and the grain is only available at the OBIEE layer)
Ex:
Essbase Info:
D1 D2 Amount
x y 200
OBIEE Info:
D1 D2 D3 Percentage
x y z1 30
x y z2 70
Desired Output
Is
D1 D2 D3 New Amount
x y z1 60
x y z2 140
The behavior I am noticing is , since D3 has no relationship to Essbase Measure, the report results with a null for the Essbase Measure (Amount in this case). I understand this is natural but am not able to figure out any other means to address this requirement. I am exploring using EVALUATE and MDX, but am not sure, if I would be able to get the desired output.
Thanks
Sunil

Hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

OBIEE and Essbase security pass through

Hi All,
I'm using Essbase as a data source for OBIEE. Right now I'm trying to use Hyperion security to pass through OBIEE. I've setup OBIEE to use Hyperion Shared Services as custom authenticator and Hyperion users can log in. However, I'm having problem passing through the users to Essbase. I've changed the Essbase connection pool to use :USER and :PASSWORD. When I tried to check for global consistency, I'm getting the following error
[38098] The password in the Connection Pool '"server"."Connection Pool"', associated with the Repository Initialization Block '"SUB_VAR_BLOCK_server"', contains the use of :USER or :PASSWORD.
When I tried to open any existing Essbase reports from OBIEE, I'm getting this error (as expected)
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Login fails due to invalid login credentials (HY000)
Any ideas on how to get around this issue? Thanks
Regards,
Gerd

Hi Gerd,
Could you please explain in detail how you have setup OBIEE to use Hyperion Shared Services as custom authenticator so that Hyperion users can log into OBIEE?
Please provide the steps and custom authenticator function?
we would need to implement it fromm scratch. So, your help will be greatful.

OBIEE and Essbase - Displaying all member names together

Hi
I hope you can help.
When we import our Essbase cubes and add the alias tables and drag the cube to the BMM layer we get a column were we can search the alias for all the member in the hierarchy, independently of the generation (let's say Account - Default where Account is the dimension name and Default is the name of the alias table).
This is a very useful feature that I would like to extend to the member name but I cannot figure out how to do it. All I am getting in the BMM layer is a column per generation but not one for the whole hierarchy.
My question is: Is there any way of doing what I want and how could I implement it?
I am on OBIEE 11.1.6.10
Thank you very much for your help.
Juan

Hypercubes are cubes built for analytical purposes which you can pivot, rotate, slice-n-dice etc anyways you want and each intersection will bring back some value. That makes them super dense and perfectly suited for dashboarding purposes as well since any dynamic change of point-of-view, axis of analysis and the likes will always yield a result and you can better optimize things for performance.

Frequent Error in Reports (Connection between OBIEE and Essbase)-Urgent

Hi All,
I'm developing OBIEE reports based on EssBase cubes.
Sometimes (for certain reports / prompts) I get following error messages
State: HY000. Code: 10058. NQODBC SQL_STATE: HY000 nQSError: 10058 A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Invalid login id - request EssSetActive failed (HY000)
State: HY000. Code: 10058. NQODBC SQL_STATE: HY000 nQSError: 10058 A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: message on contacting or from application PNL_APP server: Thu Dec 25 14:25:53 2008Local////Error(1013080) Already Connected to Server -- The previous connected request still running, try again (HY000)
My connection pool configuration:
Call interface: Essbase
Maximum connections: 10
Shared logon: True (a single user / password used for all queries)
Use Session: True (also tried false - doesn't help)
Use multithreaded connections: True
Does anybody have an idea - what causes these problems and how can I prevent them?
Also i have a doubt whether this error is caused due to essbase subtitution variable which is used in my report.
With Regards
Prads

Could you guys solve this error? I am facing similar issue while querying Essbase cube through OBIEE.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

SQL Issued: SELECT Fact.HNW_TXN_NDS_QTY saw_0 FROM HNWBSO
I created an initialization variable using the essbase cube which works fine in the offline mode but throws error when the respository is offline. Error Msg is
[NQODBC] [SQL_STATE:HY000][nQSError:10058] A General error has occurred
[nQSError:43093] An error occurred while processing the EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement
Thank you!

Groups and ESSBASE Filters

Can anyone tell me we can import the Data level filters for Groups from ESSBASE?
If so, do we have any documentation on how to perform this?
Thank you,

You can't import them but they will be applied to all selections if you use integrated access control between OBIEE and Essbase (i.e. hand over :USER, :PASSWORD in the connection pool rather than generic conneciton credentials).
Cheers,
C.

If you absolutely must have the Microsoft applications, you can purchase and download them from http://microsoft.com/mac.
Free software suites LibreOffice and OpenOffice offer similar functionality (word processing and spreadsheets).
Or you could do worse than look at Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote, which should already be installed in your Mac and can export to Microsoft formats if need be.

Where can I download a trial version of Hyperion Planning and essbase?

I am new to Hyperion and want to train in it . Where can I download a trial version of Hyperion Planning and essbase?

Edeliver is where you go to download any of Oracle products. They are not trial versions. They are full versions. The license that you must agree to inorder to download them are for development and self-educational purposes only.
The main site is
https://edelivery.oracle.com/
From there you pick your language, identify yourself, and agree to the license agreement. Then, you select the product pack and OS of host system. Then, select the product you want to download. The products are splitup by component or modules. You must download everything you need. Foundation, Essbase, Planning, and Reporting and Analysis if you are going to do any reports.
Product pack - Choose Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System
OS - I use a 64bit OS, but choose the right one that you will be installing on.
Then choose,
Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (*11.1.2.0.0*) Media Pack for the OS you choose
Once you have downloaded the required packs, unzip them all into one folder. Merge the folders together and copy and replace all files. Put a check mark in the box that asks to perform this for other conflicts.
Once you have all packs unzipped, run InstallTool.cmd
The documentation zip file can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/epm/documentation/epm-096302.html
Hope this helps.

HT1270 Hi, I have bought macbook pro a year back and it has 4 GB RAM and its mid 2012 model can u tell me whether if i give the macbook for upgradation of memory will they do it and what would be the cost

Hi, I have bought macbook pro a year back and it has 4 GB RAM and its mid 2012 model can u tell me whether if i give the macbook for upgradation of memory will they do it and what would be the cost.

You need to take your MacBook Pro to your Apple store genius bar and check that they will do the upgrade for you...price for 4 GB memory used to be $200 but you will have to check with them for the current cost.
You can also check with OWC, http://www.macsales.com and see what their cost is and decide if you want to do it yourself. Cost will be about half of that at the Apple store.

Can you use 2 apple tvs on the same network with different apple ids and how would your devices know which apple tv to stream to?

Hi,
I was looking into purchasing 2 apple tvs and was wondering if they can be setup with different apple ids. I need to have mine setup with my id and be able to hook my devices to it , but have the one in a bedroom hooked to a different apple id and have my friend's devices stream to that one and not mine. Is this possible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order that your Apple TV only streamed from your iTunes Library and your friends to your friends, you would both have to have different homesharing ID's.
So far as devices go, any device on a network can stream over AirPlay to an Apple TV, to ensure each of you couldn't stream to the others device you can enable a password via the Apple TV which would then need entering when you used a device for AirPlay.
Shouldn't be a problem to do what you want to do.

Why is it (and how is it possible) that you guys don't have any retractable magsafe power cords (or at least an accessory that would turn normal magsafe chargers into a retractable unit)? (Or do you?)

Way, way back it was cool that you could wrap the smaller cord around those retractable clips. However, even that has grown annoying.
For those of us who use the longer attachment (for which there isn't even a wrapping solution) dealing with the cords is time consuming (and basically impossible to do in such a way that it can withstand any real traveling).
At least one of the reasons there is no retractable cord option is that other companies can't design one themselves without violating your intellectual property rights. That said, Apple should really be the ones to tackle this particular cord-annoyance (all the groundwork for the design has already been done for you guys--all you'd have to do is tweak it to fit the specifics of your magsafe cords, and *voila*, fantastically manageable, clean, well-designed, and highly portable power cord for us all.
Suddenly: champagne would fall from the heavens, doors would open, velvet ropes would part, world peace, end to hunger....you get the idea.
It seems like this is the only place to give suggestions for things such as this...am I missing something?

Welcome Jessie!
Here's how to get your comment to someone working in Apple product development:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
That said, Apple shipped retractable cord chargers in the early PowerBook days. From talking to people who owned them, I get the impression that the constant in/out action caused many to fail prematurely. I suspect Apple abandoned them for a reason.

This is my first post. I would like to thank you all for all of the information you have posted on this forum. It has been most helpful to a Newbee. I have a MBP17 w/trackpad and click bar from '08. I need a bigger HD, how big can I go? THX

This is my first post, but I have been following this forum for a while and you have all been very helpful in my MacEducation. I have a MBP17 10.6.8 w/6GB ram from '08. I need to upgrade my HD from 200GB. I would like to go as big as I can and would appreciate any experiance you've had. Could I go 750GB or 500 GB @ 7200 rpm. Should I upgrade to Lion before I swap the drive out? Thanks, Johnny

Hi Johnny,
Yes you can do the 750 or 500, 5400 or 7200. Just make sure it is 2.5" SATA and 12.5mm high or less (there is at least one HD out there that is 15mm high and will not work).
Lion: I don't know that it matters much either way, just don't do them at the same time. That way, if there are issues, you have a much better chance of troubleshooting one major change instead of two.
