ODI - Delete Shared Members?

Hello,
I load a node in a Planning dimension with Shared Members using an ODI Interface. We have a need to remove all of these Shared Members before we perform the load. Is it then possible to remove all Shared Members from specific locations using ODI? I know that we can run the Delete Shared Members utility from the server where Planning is installed, but that is not possible for admin users who do not have admin rights to the server. Version 11.1.1.2, ODI version 10.1.3.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

John,
Thanks for the reply. The dimension is in a Planning Application/database. I have a parent/child/Alias txt file that I used to load the dimension node with. Are you saying that it is possible to create an ODI interface that can "Delete Level 0" members? Below is a sample of the dimension via planning/dimensions. In this example, I would want to remove all members under the "COGS" node....or all "Shared Members". Below is also a sample of the file used to load the Shared Members.
Thanks again,
Steve

Deleting Shared members in DRM

We are in DRM 11.1.2.1.1.0.1.
We create some members as shared
One of this members it is deleted.
We create the same member below another parent, but now the shared member instead of have shared!1, it is defined as shared!2. But shared!1 was deleted before.
Do you know the way to delete this shared member and if it is created again it should have the value shared!1
thanks

Hi,
Looking at your post, I believe you actually removed the shared member. When you do a remove on "Shared!1" only that gets removed and it will be moved into the "Orphan Nodes" under the current version. Please check the Orphans list and delete "Shared!1" permanently from DRM. Now try to add it back, you should be able to add "Shared!1" now. The numbering will restart since you cleared the Orphans. Let me know if this works. As you might know, delete and remove are 2 different things.
Thanks.

Delete shared members (lots of them)

Hi!
We have a account hierarchy with lots of members. At the end of the account dimension we have a lot of shared members, which are located as direct children of Account dimension. In Planning web we can delete those member by member, but it is a time consuming exercise.
Is it possible (and safe) to delete those at this point unnecessary shared membes in Essbase admin console? We would then load a new P&L hierarchy (using shared members) into Planning using HAL (our version is 9.3.1. and we are using classic administration)
Kind regards

It is best to remove via HAL or some tool that allows communication with the SQL repository. Best to try to keep essbase and planning in sync........hope this helps.

ODI and deleting shared accounts members in Planning

Hey there,
We have 1 account alternative hierarchy, which we remove all the level 0 tagged as shared member from the account dimension.
The problem is to do it is taking ages, meanwhile to load back these members is doing in minutes , deleting is taking an hour.
Do you know if there is any problem when ODI remove Shared members from Planning?
Do you know what is doing in the background Oracle (we have Oracle as database)?
Thanks,

It is taking the same time.
Also I tried with the command DeleteSharedMember because I want to delete only shared members, and it takes ages.
The point is in the schema the shared members are only in one table, so I don't know why it is taking age to remove it, it has not to do any checking if it is in forms or another places.
And is it possible to create a sql script to remove it directly in the schema and restart planning afterwards?.
Thanks

Shared Members Alias Names Need to be Deleted--Essabase Admin Console

The company I work for set up shared members with alias names. I need to get rid of the alias names so that they are linked to their proper stored members and take on those names. How do I do this without haveing to go to every contton-picking shared member and delete the alias name?
Thanks!

with alias names. what do you mean by 'alias names' and what do said 'alias names' refer to?

Drill down on shared members.

Hi ,
I have some filters associated to geography hierarchy in my essbase cube.
my geography heirarchy looks like this.
geography
|_base_members
|_am
|_Apac
|_shared_members
|_am (Alias: America) (shared members)
|_ ..etc
|_Apac (Alias: Asia pac) (shared members)
now i have created filters giving meta read access on shared members in the above case on .users of america will only see america region.
but when i drill down and drill up on the member in the report in web analysis, it gives me an unknown member error "am".
i tried by giving same access to the base members but the report shows the base members.
is there any other way to handle this error.
thanks.

Try deleting Non-Corporate Income before you drill into Total Revenue. Or turn off Retain selected member in your drill options. The problem is that if Essbase sees Non-Corporate Income, then it knows it is the alternate roll up and correctly does not drill on Total Revenue. Remove Non-Corporate Income and Total Revenue, just becomes plain old Total Revenue and you should be able to drill on that.

Shared Members Alias

Hello,
I am facing problems while creating / removing aliases of shared members in Essbase outline.
1) What is the best possible way to create aliases for shared members (already present in the outline not new ones) ?
2) What is the best possible way to remove aliases for exisitng shared members in the outline ?
Any leads greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Neetesh

Hi.
The Easiest Way of Doing it is by Parent-Child References..
COnstruct a Data File using Parent child Reference and then Add a Third Column in which you provide Alias name.
In the Field Property of Third Column make is as Alias and tag it to proper dimension and in Dimension build Setting go to Dimension Build tab and check "Allow property changes".
In case of Removing Alias just create Another Column in Rule File And Leave it Blank
Then in its Field Propety Check "Delete When Field is Empty".

Moving shared members in EIS

I have two alternate hierachies in the customer dimensions with shared members on STORE at Level 0. And I need to perform incremental outline update and data load on the nightly basis using EIS. What happened is if a store is moved to a different parent, EIS can only added the store into the new parent, without deleting the older one, i.e. EIS can't move shared member to new parents. Thus causes us a wrong calculation. Does anyone have a technique or tips to move members on shared alternate hierarchy in EIS?Thanks.Sam

You have the option of "Deleting the Members First" when you run a Member Load.Only the outline is affected, the data itself remains unaffected until you run a calc. Then it will roll up properly.Good Luck,Tim

Moving of Shared members

Hi,
I have to move shared members within a dimension in outline from one hierarchy to other, using a dimension build rule. I am doing this through flat file, using Parent-Child relationship, and unchecked the option of "Do Not Share" and "Allow Moves". But This is not working out, as my stored members are getting moved first.
Its like I want to cut an existing Shared member from one hierarchy in a dimension and paste to another hierarchy in same dimension.
Also the entire dimension is statically built and we can't re-create the entire dimension with dimension rule file and add the shared member where needed and then using "Remove Unspecified" option delete the shared member which is not required.
Is there any other settings or is there any possibility of achieving this without building the entire dimension through rule file as I have lots of generations and children involved in it.
Experts, please help me out.!!!

Well, you sure don't want to add them manually. :)
How about a source table for this dimension in parent/child format?
You can have the "master" a & b in the first rollup to a parent, and then the shared reference as many times as you want.
Of course don't sum the parents or you will count the values of a and b multiple times and get a really screwy number.
For an excellent review of how to do this through a dimension load rule, see our old friend the DBAG.

Forward Referencing Shared Members and EIS

I was wondering if there is a way to avoid the forward referencing shared members errors I get when creating an account hierarchy with EIS. I am creating the hierarchy automatically from a parent-child recursive table with no manual maintenance.Thanks in advance

Move Shared Members

Do you know of a setting to allow restructuring of the shared members?
When setting the rules files, I have selected ALLOW MOVES which restructures the main hierarchy... but I am unsure how to restructure the shared members. I have tried a lot of combinations and so far my only two choices have been to not allow shared members to moved or to add a second shared member and manually remove the original shared member.
Any suggestions?

VK, is that you? Or just an incredible coincidence?
Assuming it's not:
1) Create two views of your dimension: with shares and without shares and their parents
2) Create two dim load rules: One with removed unspecified and allow moves checked, one with remove unspecified and allow moves unchecked
Load the dimension using the without shares and remove unspecified/allow moves option checked. This should remove all of the shared hierarchy (okay, I am assuming a pretty share hierarchy below the master hierarchy -- it would get more difficult if they were shared within a hierarchy that didn't get deleted).
Load the dimension using the with shares data and the remove unspecified/allow moves options unselected. This should add back the alternate hierarchy parents and their shared members.
It's ugly no matter how you do it, but the above shouldn't be too painful.

Moving Shared Members, Possible?

I know I can use load rule to "Allow Move" in order to make parent/child changes to the hierarchy. However, is there a way to use load rule to do the same for an alternate hierarchy (i.e. a hierarchy with shared members). I want to be able to move shared members around the alt hierarchy but could find a way of doing it.
Is this not possible?

the only automated way I know of to do it is to delete the dimension members and re-add them. I lie of course, you could write a routine using the API to do it. Of course you know you can do it manually in EAS, but that too can be a lot of work

Moving Shared Members

Hi Guys.
Is there anyway to move shared members with load rules?
I mean like this...
M1
shared member1
shared member2
shared member3
M2
shared member4
shared member5
I want to move "shared member3" to M2, for example.
Thanks in advanced

it does not quite work like that.
create a text file with the same format as a file that is used to build the dimension.
For example, Say the dimension is product and you are using a level build. Assume the first column is the level zero member of product.
Create a file with one member called "delete_Me" (or any non-member of the data base).
Set the dimension settings to remove unspecified members. When you run this rule with this test data file, it will delete ALL of the members of product and add the member "Delete_me" as a child of Product.
Then run your regular build(s), which builds both the primary and shared member roll-ups and it will re-add all the members and if you use the same load rule, will delete the member called "Delete_Me".
This can all be coupled in one Import dimension statement so data does not get lost.

Deleting outline members

Hi,
is there any way we can delete the members from our outline in Essbase and Planning applications, we dont want to do it one by one manually, so is there a way it can be done thorught rule file or anything else?

You didn't note if this was a Classic or EPMA application.
If Classic, you can use OutlineLoad.cmd. See: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch05s02s03.html Search for "delete" -- it's an Operation: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch05s02s04s01.html
If you are dealing with shared members: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch12s06s05.html
If EPMA, see this thread: Deleting members in EPMA via ADS
