OLAP Cube Showing Capacity for Every Project

We are upgrading from Project Server 2007 to 2013.
One of our old OLAP views, using Portfolio Analyzer, in Data Analysis allowed up to set the Project List next to the Resource List, showing totals for remaining work and capacity. This allowed us to compare Remaining Work and Capacity for a filtered
list of resources. Then if needed, we could expand one resource and see the Projects making up their remaining work. Capacity is blank for all projects and is only shown at the resource level. This also filters the list of projects to just what
the resource is assigned to.
In 2013, the cube seems to have changed to the point that capacity is calculated for every project. This makes the OLAP query take forever... it is calculating capacity for every resource for 500 project... but it also then shows every project on the
system for the resource expanded, which defeats the purpose of showing the project list.
The only work around is to remove the project list when showing capacity, or remove the capacity when showing the project list. Which to my report consumers means two views (reports via excel services) instead of one.
Can anyone tell me where the option for this is, or did MS change the schema to a point that this is no longer possible? Seems they would be taking a step backward if they removed this as an option. Resource have capacity... projects do not.
Thanks!
Micah

Thanks for the response Andrew...
2007 does in fact have the 14 cubes, just like 2013. I am using the Portfolio Analyzer cube in both instances.
I think you are referring to the new 'Reports' that come out of the box and/or the data connections that are now SQL Select statements embedded in the Data Connection. i.e. Project Server - Resource Capacity... I have experimented with these new data connections,
including modifying the Select statements to include some of our Enterprise Custom Fields. But I'll admit that my SQL isn't what if could be, and I do not know how to join the Project List properly. Honestly, I really don't want to pull in a DBA to do
my reporting... especially if the Cube should be doing the joins for me.
Thanks
Micah

  • "A new folder for every project file"

    Aha!!  Right, from now on ... (thanks Steve)
    From the Muvipix.com Guide to Adobe PE11 by Steve Grisetti
    (p 36) [on starting and saving a new project]
    2     Click the Browse button to choose a location to save your new
    project file.
    We at Muvipix recommend always selecting the Browse option and,
    wherever you choose to save your file, creating a new folder for every
    new project file.
    This little bit of housekeeping keeps all of your new project's files in
    one neat, little folder. And, when your project is done and you want to
    clear it from your computer, you can then remove not only the project
    file but all of the temp, render and scratch disk files Premiere Elements
    has created for that project simply by deleting that single folder!
    This makes post-project clean-up a much easier and neater process.
    OK, hope I've got it this time (at last)
    cheers

    Oh no!  I thought I’ll re-work that Canal video again, but this time saved the project from the very start in a new folder on an ext HD (500 GB) connected USB3.0.  Tried all sorts of things on it, saved each time in the same folder.   Cleared all 14 clips from Project Assets (which of course emptied the timeline).   Shut down PE11.   Checked via Windows Explorer that the project files were all on the ext HD – and by the way, there are no other files on it, just the PE files.  My understanding is that Advanced System Care Pro (Iobit) regularly defrags all my drives if necessary (tho’ I haven’t done this manually for months with this drive).
    OK, opened PE, went to Open Recent Projects, it shows the above .prel file and the entire path, I click on it and – 
    Weird, just weird

    Edited --- and another weird thing, my email isn't sending the complete message I type to this forum.   I sent a whole message once and it never appeared, but this time it's cut off half a sentence above (it did this before, earlier today).
    That sentence should read,
    OK, opened PE, went to Open Recent Projects, it shows the above .prel file and the entire path, I click on it and – nothing happened!   (You'll have gathered that's what happened, but I wrote it in my Windows Live Mail, sent via BT-Yahoo ISP ......... )  Hey wait, there was a whole lot more.
    Here's a copy / paste from Windows Live Mail outbox
    It’s so odd, because as I said previously, most of the time it works so well, does all the things it’s supposed to do.   I followed Steve’s instructions here to the letter.   By the way, as you know, it’s not just the ext HD, this has been happening all along with allowing PE to save everything in its default Folder 11.
    I would be – now – very sorry indeed to have to abandon PE11 simply on this account, but it’s causing me to waste such a lot of time.   (Let alone the expense of buying it, plust one Lynda.com course, plus 2 books – not forgetting that I’d previously tried the Corel software and bought a book and DVD for that too!!)
    Might just use – what’s that simplicity-itself thingy everyone uses who just want to get any old kind of thing up on You Tube ..........   Oi vey!! <<more weary sigh>>

  • Multiple Queries in Workbook - Refresh Screen Shows Up for Every Query

    We have multiple queries in a workbook.  All of these queries have the exact same selections for the variable selection screen.  When all the queries are refreshed once, the selection screen used to show up once and all the queries are refreshed with the same selections.  
    We were on BI 7.0 and SP10.  We recently moved to SP12.  Since the SP12 installation, the multiple query refresh pops-up the selection screen for every query.  It is nothing like "multiple query refresh" at once since the user has to click "execute" button for every single query.  It is interesting to note that the selection screen only contains hierarchy variables and hierarchy node variables.  The other variables of selection screen do not show up.  I couldn't find any OSS note on this topic.  Please let me know if anyone has any comments on this issue.  I will assign points to useful posts.

  • Olap cubes in 10g for reporting

    Hi -
    I am trying figure out how to use the olap cube I built in 10g.
    1) Can you use materialized views on top of the olap cube in 10g? Sounds like this is a 11g feature?
    2) Is query re-write for olap cubes available in 10g?
    3) How are you accessing olap cubes in 10g other than using the Oracle reporting tools.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Hi Frank,
    To answer your questions:

  • Calendar Shows Appointment for Every Day please help

    First off, I'm a Microsoft .NET programmer and I LOVE my IPhone, my IPod and my Shuffle!
    My IPhone Calendar shows the little "dot" for every day, even when I don't have appointments.
    Can someone please help me get the dots off so I can look at my calendar and tell when I have events scheduled?
    Here is my setup:
    Outlook 2003 - Not connected to Exchange
    Windows XP Pro
    Thank you!
    IBM Compatible   Windows XP Pro   I love my IPhone and IPod and Shuffle!

    When I click on the day it says "No Events".
    I have people's birthday's that occur every year if that's what you mean by reoccurring, but who doesn't have that in their calendar?
    I can take the date back to 1997 to way before I started entering appointments and it still shows the "dots".
    The things I've read explain the "dots" mean I have an appointment on that day.
    I appreciate the help so far. Solving this would be a great improvement for my calendar!
    Thank you for your time.

  • Unable to open OLAP cube in Infoview for Crystal Report

    Hello,
    I am currently confused with a crystal report designed via OLAP grid on a BW query and working fine on Crystal designer module on my PC but sending an error when I tried it on INFOVIEW "unable to open OLAP CUBE".
    I checked all parameters and database connexions on BO Entreprise CMC : it is OK.
    I am on BO XI 3.1 SP 3 entreprise and BW 3.5 or BW 7.0 (both are in concern).
    When I tried a simple report on a BW query just drop fields of the query into the report and sending it on Infoview, it is OK.
    Just OLAP grid is KO. I do not understand, it is MDX language too ? Somebody can help or faced the same trouble ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Availability Panel showing grey for every invitee

    I've been trying to use iCal to allow folks to propose meetings with me, using the availability panel. Prior to letting folks know they can use this feature I've been testing it and no matter what I do I cannot get any invitee to show availability when proposing a meeting. This is using the iCal availability panel. Every proposed invitee shows grey (no available time). This happens even with accounts that I created just to test the problem; the accounts have no iCal appointments at all.
    Am I correct to assume that the check availability feature should work across iCloud or thing something that only works when all invitees are on the same server?

    I just heard about an app that apparently allows you to see other people's availability when scheduling a meeting. I haven't installed it yet, but plan to. If you end up installing it, let me know what you think. Here's the link:

  • Missing Functionality -where do I set a budget for a Project?

    Budgeting for Projects is non - existent
    Budget for Profit and Loss for a particular project , How is it done ?
    Does not work , No facility to put in Budget for a project ?
    The report I am trying to run is:
    REPORTS>FINANCIAL>BUDGET REPORTS>Profit and Loss Statement Budget Report.Then go to Expanded and choose a PROJECT, say MailOrder.
    The result is that it will show the MailOrder project for the ACTUAL but it will show the whole company Turnover against the BUDGET column.
    This is because there is no place to set a budget for MailOrder Project in the first place. So the question is where do I set a budget for a Project?
    1 Budget setup screen - this has no facility to setup a budget for a PROJECT
    2.Budget Profit and Loss - this has the facility to run a PROJECT budget but the figures for the Budget cannot be right because they were not setup in the first place.
    PS MailOrder project is just an example.

    Edited by: Darpal Thiarha on May 14, 2008 10:34 AM

    Hi Darpal/Kerstin
    Please ignore my previous replies because I have now worked out why this idea will not work:
    Kerstins' idea is based on setting up new Nominal Codes for every Project and for Every Nominal Code in the Profit and Loss structure. Apart from the fact that this will create a messy Nominal Structure with hundreds of Nominal Codes, the main issue here is the way the Cost Of Goods Sold is structured. The logic of our Nominal Structure for Sales and Cost of Goods is based on Item/Item Groups and the Nature of these Items. In our case we sell Skin Care products under 3 Brands. Say Brand A, B and C
    So Brand A is summarised into one item Group and the ITEM GROUP is coded to Sales Nominal 20000 and the Cost of this group is coded to Nominal 30000. In Kertins suggestion, I would need to raise a Nominal Code 20001 for say Project Mail Order and 30001 for the Cost of Goods for Mail Order but this the Mail Order project is selling ALL our brands (A,B,C) - so you can see the problem here. You cannot use Nominal Codes for two different purposes and make it work. So the problem here is that my BRAND A summary will contain a Nominal with a Project Mail Order, that has SALES of Brand A,B,C. The Net effect will be that we will not be able to summarise anything in SALES and Cost of SALES in a logical way (Neither by Brand or By Project) and the Nominal Structure will be a mess.
    My conclusion is that SAP b1 Sales and Cost of Goods section demands certain logic when building the Nominal Codes, and this is based on the NATURE OF THE STOCK ITEM and trying to superimpose the PROJECT issue into this, will never work. In my view, the PROJECT issue needs to be sorted without involving New Nominal codes and the starting point would be in sorting out the SALES and COST of SALES and the project Budget for this.
    Please let me know if you need further illustration of the problem.

  • Falied "Configure OLAP cubes for Project Web App" in Project Server 2013

    Hi
    I'm trying to use the PS2013's capability for generate SSAS Cubes; but after I execute
    the steps described on “Configure OLAP cubes for Project Web App (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj943761.asp)”  the only thing

  • Permissions for role in OLAP cube are removed when cube is rebuild

    Project Server rebuilds the OLAP cubes every 6 hours. I've recently added a role with "Process database" permissions, but this permission is removed each time the OLAP cube is rebuilt.
    I've read in a different thread (slightly older software versions) that to solve this issue, you can script and schedule the handling of permissions for that specific role, but it's not really a solution. The duration for the OLAP cube to rebuild varies
    in duration over time, and I'm not sure it's healthy to change the role permission on a cube when it's being rebuild.
    Is there a different, elegant way to solve this? I'm sure this can't be the intention?
    I'm running SQL Server 2008, Sharepoint 2010 SP2 and Project Server 2010 SP2

    sorry, i dont have much experience with project server. But, from the quick glance, it does look like as you said the configs are very limited including the ability to change user roles. My suggestion is that you take the cube solution and add the user to
    the role and redeploy to the AS. The assumption here is that, though you add the user manually, it is being written over with the old solution. 
    of course if you want to proceed with changing the roles via a script, you can schedule a job to run right after the cube has been processed each time. 
    probably better maintenance solution is to redeploy SSAS solution and reprocess.

    Is the SQL Server and Analysis Server are running on different servers and not on default ports? 
    If yes, then check if the same alias’s name added in Project Server is added on the Analysis Server.
