ODI Error when trying to Load Metadata into Essbase

  • Getting an error while trying to load data into cube

    Hello,
    I am trying to load data into cube but it gives me following error:
    fiscal year variant not expected.
    Can someone tell what could be done on fiscal year
    Cheers
    Jim.

    Hi,
    May be you have not mapped anything to fiscal variant or not included fiscal variant in the cube but you have used fiscal period inside it.
    You should load fiscal variant if you wanna use fiscal period.
    Map fiscal variant to a constant K4 or from the source if present and then see the result.
    Generally it is K4 except for FI-CO cubes .
    In the transfer rules, select field '0fiscvarnt' 'Tp' click
    Enter K4 for Constant................Save and Activate
    Iam sure you'd fix the issue.

    hi,
      Iam getting a short dump  when trying to load data from ODS to CUBE. The Run time error is 'TYPELOAD_NEW_VERSION' and the short text is 'A newer version of data type "/BIC/AZODS_CA00" was found than one required.please help me out.

    Hi,
    Check this thread.........Ajeet Singh  has given a good solution here.........
    Re: Error With Data Load-Getting Canceled Right Away
    Also check SAP note: 382480..................for ur reference............
    Symptom
    A DART extraction job terminates with runtime error TYPELOAD_NEW_VERSION and error message:
    Data type "TXW_INDEX" was found in a newer version than required.
    The termination occurs in the ABAP/4 program "SAPLTXW2 " in "TXW_SEGMENT_RECORD_EXPORT".
    Additional key words
    RTXWCF01, LTXW2U01, TXW_INDEX
    Cause and prerequisites
    This problem seems to happen when several DART extraction jobs are running in parallel, and both jobs access table TXW_INDEX.
    Solution
    If possible, avoid running DART extractions in parallel.
    If you do plan to run such jobs in parallel, please consider the following points:
    In the DART Extract configuration, increase the value of the parameter "Maximum memory allocation for index (MB)" if possible. You can estimate reasonable values with the "File size worksheet" utility.
    Run parallel DART jobs on different application servers.
    As an alternative, please apply note 400195.
    It may help u.........

  • Issue loading metadata into Essbase 11x

    Hi All,
    I am trying to update metadata into ASO in Essbase 11.1.2 using Oracle Data Integrator 11g (Flat file to Essbase Integration)
    Using rule file, I am able to load metadata into ASO, but when I am trying to load from ODI, I am able to load only the members but not the UDAs'.
    I have 6 columns in my flat file (.CSV) in which first two columns are parent and child, 3, 4 and 5 were ignored in the rule file and also not mapped in my interface and 6th column is my UDA.
    Please suggest with a possible solution if any face such similar problem.
    Thank you,
    Regards
    Rav

    Hi,
    to execute maxl script, you need an essbase client on the ODI server.
    The environment variable ARBORPATH should contains the path for analytic service, e.g. C:\Hyperion\AS.

  • Load metadata into essbase with ODI

    Hi,

    Error occured during load process com.essbase.api.base.EssException: Cannot build dimension. Analytic Server Error(-1): null.
    I have an application in Essbase multi-dimensional, but only that the error happens
    Someone has gone through this error in ODI? I searched and found nothing about!

    You won't get much response with an error like that, what I can suggest is have a look at one of the blogs I wrote going through loading metadata :- http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/11/odi-series-loading-essbase-metadata.html
    Try building some test metadata loads against the sample.basic application to get a feel for how to do it.

  • Can see iTunes library, YouTube, movies etc but error when trying to load

    Worked fine y'day- today I can see everything but when trying to access (play a downloaded show or song from iTunes library) I get an error message and to try later.
    I rebooted iMac and unplugged Apple TV (2G) but getting the same message.
    What gives? Just updated to iTunes version 10.2.1 btw.

    I saw Peetza's thread- I get the same prompt ( "An error occurred loading this content") but unlike him (downloading a movie) i get this for everything I try to access using ATV2 (except Mobileme).

  • Error when trying to load jar file (loadjava)

    I have been struggling with this issue for a few days. I read all the old threads and solutions online but none of them worked. I wrote some java stored procedures and have been trying to load the required jar files. The error message I keep getting is this:
    ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: oracle.aurora.server.tools.loadjava.ToolsError: Error during loadjava: Failures occurred during processing. Check trace file for details

    Any ideas? We are using Oracle 10gr2, and trying to load Cognos 8.3 SDK jar files. According to Cognos, Java 1.4 is supported.
    Edited by: user10406501 on Oct 8, 2008 2:26 PM

    Sorry to respond to an old message, I was just looking for the solution for the totally different problem.
    Key word 'Cognos' got me here.
    I've menage to load Cognos SDK onto Oracle 10.2.0.2 on Windows XP.
    I've used simple loadjava script. After that it requires some additional GRANTs, and it works.
    If you still are looking for the solution for this problem, respond to this message, and I'll post the scripts.

  • Object not found in store error when trying to load MimeContent of an email (containing attachments)

    This is a weird one and I'm hoping someone can reproduce this and give me some help.
    We have a system that uses the EWS Managed API to send emails. Optionally an email may need to be saved out as an rfc822 (.eml) file afterwards for storing in our own database. In order to save to a file I need to load up the MimeContent of the message.
    And this is where an "Object not found in store" exception can get thrown.
    The really strange part is that the exception only seems to occur if the email contains an attachment and if there is too much of a delay between sending the email and trying to access the MimeContent!
    My test code is something like:
    // Set up the basics
    _item = new EmailMessage(P7ExchangeService.Service);
    _item.Subject ="Hello world";
    _item.ToRecipients.Add("some name", "[email protected]");
    _item.Body = new MessageBody(BodyType.HTML, @"<html><head></head><body>hello world<image src=""cid:blah""/></body></html>");
    // Add attachment
    FileAttachment att = _item.Attachments.AddFileAttachment("blah", "c:\temp\blah.jpg");
    att.IsInline = true;
    att.ContentId = "blah";
    // Send and save
    _item.SendAndSaveCopy();
    // Wait a bit (see comments below)
    Thread.Sleep(5000);
    // Now try and save out
    var propCollection = _item.GetLoadedPropertyDefinitions();
    propCollection.Add(ItemSchema.MimeContent);
    _item.Load(new PropertySet(propCollection)); // EXCEPTION!
    // ... etc
    On some systems it seems that the sending can take a while, hence my Thread.Sleep() call to simulate this.
    Its when I try and load up the MimeContent that I will then get the exception. But ONLY if I sleep (simulating the occasional delay seen on customer sites) and ONLY if the email contains an attachment.
    The mimecontent is necessary in order to save out to a file (by accessing the _item.MimeContetn property).
    Can someone please explain the exception and/or provide a better way of doing this??

    This is normal EWS doesn't return the Id of the Item in the SentItems Folder so you need to use a workaround like
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2010/02/25/determining-the-id-of-a-sent-message-by-using-extended-properties-with-the-ews-managed-api.aspx .
    If you want to understand the issue you can enable tracing and look at responses, the actually Id your trying to load the MimeContent from is probably the Id of the draft message. Eg to send a message via EWS with attachments multiple operations must be
    used to construct it and when the messages finally gets sent the copy in the drafts folder is deleted and a copy is created in the SentItems folder. However the Id isn't returned for the SentItems copy hence you need the workaround.
    Cheers

  • Internal Server Error when trying to load a movie

    Before I visit a friend to solve a problem on her Mac (latest OS and QuickTime installs already done), perhaps you can offer tips on things to look for: Whenever she tries to load a movie file from the Web (either in Safari or directly in the QuickTime app), she gets a "500 Internal Server Error".
    What should I be looking for?
    Lots   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Try a different browser such as Firefox to determine if the problem is with the QuickTime Internet plug-ins and their related settings. (You might also bring with you a functional copy of the plug-ins from your /Library/Internet folder as reinstalling QuickTime can sometimes be a bit of a hassle.)
    Next, Try downloading the movie instead of playing it. In Safari, paste the url of the movie in the Safari downloads window. If it doesn't download, obviously, it can't play. (Assuming its not a stream rtsp:// url)
    Next, pull QuickTime preference and plist files from /Library and her user Library folders, restart, then try again.

Maybe you are looking for
