Optimizing a dynamic calc

Hi In our measures dimension we have a MTD member, which is a dynamic calc.The formula is:if (not @ISLEV (Time,0))"AIP-Sales";else@SUMRANGE("AIP-Sales",@ILSIBLINGS(@CURRMBR(Time)));endif;The problem is that it takes very long to fetch on this member.If I just put in if (not @ISLEV (Time,0))"AIP-Sales";else"AIP-Sales";endif;the fetch is instantaneous but whith the first fetch it takes 30 seconds even when fetching on an upper level member of time. Does Essbase evaluate the full expression regardles of the if statement?Time is a dense dimension, with the isolated dates beiing lvl 0, months lvl 1 then qtrs etc.The strange thing is that with the first formula it retrieves 3 blocks, even though there are no references outside the current block.With the second formula only 1 block is fetched as should be expected.Soren

Input data into dynamic calc in Planning forms

Hi guys,
Have someone tried to combine these two requirements:
1. to have upper level members dynamic calc
2. to give users the ability to input data into those upper level members through Planning forms.
I need to do that in order to pass inputted values into HBR, and allocate those values to the leaf level across multiple dimensions. I need those members dynamic calc because otherwise I would need to aggregate data across 7 dimensions and that takes too long. Those allocations are suposed to happen constantly and are the main purpose of application.
I know you can have dummy stored members that correspond the uper level dynamic members, but then the user will have input forms without current data and will be required to check reports/forms with dynamic calc members prior to updating data.
I wonder if it is a realistic task to change jsp files that generate those forms, so that data can be inputed into the form, but instead of passing it to Essbase cube to send it to relational database.
P.S.
This is related to the thread I opened about optimizing recalculation time:
Recalculatiion takes much longer than initial calculation
I received a lot of valuable advices that would definitely work in other situations, but in my case they seem to contradict either user concurrent access or performance requirements.
Thanks a lot!
Dmitry

Hi Glenn,
I think i found a workaround for this, or may be i am missing something. I will replicate my hierarchies so that one hierarchy will have uper level stored members, and another dynamic calc. Once user loads the form it will run on-load script that will copy data from corresponding dynamic calc to stored slice. The updated data will be alocated to the leaf level, but will never be aggregated. Since reporting is done from ASO cube i only care about the leaf level and current selection in the form.
Thanks!

Problem at calculation time, when using Dynamic Calc measures

Hello, We are using Essabse v6.5 and we want to upgrade to v7.1. we are performing some tests, in order to check that the Cubes we have created in 6.5 are working properly in v7.1. the problem that we are experiencing is that the calculation time for the cubes that have dynamic calc members has exploaded to 10 times more, compared to what it took at version 6.5. Do you have any idea why this happens. (also we are still using the old client "Application Manager") Furhermore, I have set up 2 cubes that are the same, except the 1st has dynamic calc memebers, whereas the 2ns has not. I perform calcualtions with the SET MSG DETAIL; and receive the following: CUBE (A) with Dynamic Calc Total Block Created: [4.3720e+03] Blocks Sparse Calculations: [8.0620e+03] Writes and [2.5338e+05] Reads Dense Calculations: [2.8000e+01] Writes and [2.8000e+01] Reads Sparse Calculations: [6.0202e+06] Cells Dense Calculations: [1.1476e+06] Cells CUBE (B) withOUT Dynamic Calc Total Block Created: [4.3720e+03] Blocks Sparse Calculations: [4.3720e+03] Writes and [3.5887e+04] Reads Dense Calculations: [2.8000e+01] Writes and [2.8000e+01] Reads Sparse Calculations: [6.0202e+06] Cells Dense Calculations: [1.1476e+06] Cells Question: Why does Cube (A) has more Sparse Calculations than Cube(B) ???? thanx

Yes, all the settings were exactly the same. See following: - Data Cache (note: we are NOT using the Data File Cache) - Index Cache - Index Page - Commit Block Interval - Cache memory Locking - Access Mode = buffered IO - Data Compression = Bit-Map encoding - Two Pass Calculatino = ON - Aggregate Missing Values = ON - CFG file Is there any new settings in 7.1 that I must configure? Is there any settings that I cannot see through the old client Application Manager, which is important? Must I install the new client in order to be able to configure correctly the Outline/Cube? Thnkx

ESM Block Issue
Cheers..!!

Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).

Hi,
Our Environment is Essbase 11.1.2.2 and working on Essbase EAS and Shared Services components.One of our user tried to run the Cal Script of one Application and faced this error.
Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
I have done some Google and found that we need to add something in Essbase.cfg file like below.
1012704 Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than number ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry (a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
Possible Problems
Analytic Services could not lock enough blocks to perform the calculation.
Possible Solutions
Increase the number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate for a calculation:
Set the maximum number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate to at least 500.
If you do not have an $ARBORPATH/bin/essbase.cfg file on the server computer, create one using a text editor.
In the essbase.cfg file on the server computer, set CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH to 500.
Stop and restart Analytic Server.
Add the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH command to the beginning of the calculation script.
Set the data cache large enough to hold all the blocks specified in the CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH setting.
Determine the block size.
Set the data catche size.
Actually in our Server Config file(essbase.cfg) we dont have below data added.
CalcLockBlockHigh 2000
CalcLockBlockDefault 200
CalcLockBlocklow 50
So my doubt is if we edit the Essbase.cfg file and add the above settings and restart the services will it work? and if so why should we change the Server config file if the problem is with one application Cal Script. Please guide me how to proceed.
Regards,
Naveen

Your calculation needs to hold more blocks in memory than your current set up allows.
From the docs (quoting so I don't have to write it, not to be a smarta***:
CALCLOCKBLOCK specifies the number of blocks that can be fixed at each level of the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH | DEFAULT | LOW calculation script command.
When a block is calculated, Essbase fixes (gets addressability to) the block along with the blocks containing its children. Essbase calculates the block and then releases it along with the blocks containing its children. By default, Essbase allows up to 100 blocks to be fixed concurrently when calculating a block. This is sufficient for most database calculations. However, you may want to set a number higher than 100 if you are consolidating very large numbers of children in a formula calculation. This ensures that Essbase can fix all the required blocks when calculating a data block and that performance will not be impaired.
Example
If the essbase.cfg file contains the following settings:
CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 500 CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 200 CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 50
then you can use the following SET LOCKBLOCK setting commands in a calculation script:
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
means that Essbase can fix up to 500 data blocks when calculating one block.
Support doc is saying to change your config file so those settings can be made available for any calc script to use.
On a side note, if this was working previously and now isn't then it is worth investigating if this is simply due to standard growth or a recent change that has made an unexpected significant impact.

Dynamic Calc Member with Formula to Calculate a Rolling 13 Year

I have to create a rollup in my time dimension that will have 13 members representing each month of a 13 rolling forecast. I am having trouble setting this up as dynamic calc members with a formula assigned to it. For example, on of the members has the following formula.
As you can see, I am referencing several substitution variables since I want to make this as most dynamic as possible without having to make any changes to the formula member. Only making changes to the substitution variable. Any help would be much appreciated.
IF((@ISMBR(&Current_Year)) AND (&Act_RF_Last_Month == "Jan"));
"RTM 6" = @MDSHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month, -1, "Years", , 5, "Period",);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF
IF((@ISMBR(&Current_Year)) AND (&Act_RF_Last_Month == "Feb"));
"RTM 6" = @MDSHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month, -1, "Years", , 5, "Period",);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF
IF((@ISMBR(&Current_Year)) AND (&Act_RF_Last_Month == "Mar"));
"RTM 6" = @MDSHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month, -1, "Years", , 5, "Period",);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF
IF((@ISMBR(&Current_Year)) AND (&Act_RF_Last_Month == "Apr"));
"RTM 6" = @MDSHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month, -1, "Years", , 5, "Period",);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF
IF((@ISMBR(&Current_Year)) AND (&Act_RF_Last_Month == "May"));
"RTM 6" = @MDSHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month, -1, "Years", , 5, "Period",);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF

"RTM 6" = @MDSHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month, -1, "Years", , 5, "Period",);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF

"RTM 6" = @SHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month,-7);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF
IF((@ISMBR(&Current_Year)) AND (&Act_RF_Last_Month == "Sep"));
"RTM 6" = @SHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month,-7);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF
IF((@ISMBR(&Current_Year)) AND (&Act_RF_Last_Month == "Oct"));
"RTM 6" = @SHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month,-7);

ENDIF
IF((@ISMBR(&Current_Year)) AND (&Act_RF_Last_Month == "Dec"));
"RTM 6" = @SHIFT(&Act_RF_Last_Month,-7);
ELSE #Missing;
ENDIF

We use similar logic but its in a calc script, not a dynamic formula.
Here's an example of what we do:
FIX (&Year, &Scenario)
IF (@ISMBR("JAN"))
"Average Usage%" = @AVG(SKIPBOTH, @MDSHIFT("Usage %"->"DEC"->&actYear, -1, "Year",), "Util %"->"JAN"->&actYear);
ELSEIF
ENDFIX
Another example in a different database:
IF (@ISMBR("JAN")) ((@MDSHIFT("Fees"->APR,-1,YEARS,)+@MDSHIFT("Fees"->MAY,-1,YEARS,)+@MDSHIFT("Fees"->JUN,-1,YEARS,)+@MDSHIFT("Fees"->JUL,-1,YEARS,)+@MDSHIFT("Fees"->AUG,-1,YEARS,)+@MDSHIFT("Fees"->SEP,-1,YEARS,)+@MDSHIFT("Fees"->OCT,-1,YEARS,)+@MDSHIFT("Fees"->NOV,-1,YEARS,)+@MDSHIFT("Fees"->DEC,-1,YEARS,)+"Fees"->JAN)/10)*12;

Bug while deleting values in form and it's parent member is dynamic calc

Hi,
I'm having a problem that seems to be a bug. I am trying to delete the values of member A11 in the following hierarchy, in a Planning Form:
A (Dynamic Calc)
|_A1 (Dynamic Calc)
|__A11 (Store)
|_A2(Dynamic Calc)
!_A21 (Store)
However when I save the form that has IDescendants(A) in rows, values aren't deleted and it's replaced with the value in A1. I'm not sure whats going on but if I place Ilvl0Descendants(A) in form, it works without problems.
Anyone had this problem before? Thank you

Hi, have a read of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin_11122/ch02s04.html

Dynamic Calc, 2 Pass with Attributes!

Hi there,We have an Occupancy KPI within our Measures dimension, that works off the following member calc:(("Agency"/"Occupancy")/"Actual"->"DayInMonth"->"DummyHome")*7;This is set with <Dynamic Calc> <Two-Pass>This works great accross our cost centres until we start to use attributes within the ADD-In. Then the figures are shown as #Missing - Nuts!Any ideas would be welcomeMany Thanks in advanceMark

Are you also trying to pull dynamic time series or any other dynamically calculated member? If every other intersection is stored, I would expect this to work. However, if you attempt to pull, say Q-T-D(&CurrWk), then a #Mi result is quite possible, and unavoidable (depending on your outline).

Problem with Dynamic Calc members in calc script

Hi
i wrote a calc script which calculates the value of acct2 which is dependant on the value of acct1 that is calculated from acct0 as bellow:
FIX(
M1
acct1(
acct1=acct0->M2;
acct2=acct1->M2;
ENDFIX
the value of the intersection of M1->acct0 is 100 as input ,what i wanted from this calc script is the acct2->M1 to be 100 after executing the script once
but the fact is i have to run it twice to get the expected result.
the outline is like this:
M:
M2 Dynamic calc M2=M0+M1
M0 Stored
m1 stored
Account:
acct0 stored
acct1 stored
acct2 stored
Can anyone tell me the reason and how to solve it?
Edited by: user10450070 on 2011-1-25 上午1:38

Is acct1 correct after one run of the calculation, but acct2 incorrect? If so, it's because Essbase is calculating them both at the same time (parallel), whereas it has to be forced to calculate acct1 first and acct2 second. You can do this with separate fixes as below:
FIX(M1)
acct1=acct0->M2;
ENDFIX
FIX(M2)
acct2=acct1->M2;
ENDFIX
Or, you can you can force it into calculating in serial mode:
SET CALCPARALLEL 0;
FIX(M1)
acct1=acct0->M2;
acct2=acct1->M2;
ENDFIX

Substitution variable in Dynamic Calc

Hi,
We are using Essbase 9.3.0 on Windows and are seeing this behavior in our BSO cubes.
When we use a substitution variable in a Scenario member with Dynamic Calc (not store) setting, after the first retrieve, if we change the value of the substitution variable, the subsequent retrieves do not generate updated results.
I suspect that the value is cached in the Dynamic Calculator Cache, and for some reason does not track changes in Substitution Variables to know that the value must be re-calculated. Here is what I see in the Application log -
[Mon Aug 09 10:31:51 2010]Local/App1/db1/user1/Info(1020055)
Spreadsheet Extractor Elapsed Time : [0.032] seconds
[Mon Aug 09 10:31:51 2010]Local/App1/db1/user1/Info(1020082)
Spreadsheet Extractor Big Block Allocs -- Dyn.Calc.Cache : [4] non-Dyn.Calc.Cache : [0]
This says that 4 blocks were used from the Dynamic Calc Cache, and none from outside it. Does this mean that existing blocks were read and not re-populated?
If I make a change to the formula, wherein I hard code the value of the sub var and perform the retrieve, then the value is updated. Subsequent retrieves, after restoring the formula still returns the updated results.
My question is, is this expected behavior? Or am I doing something /reading something wrong?
Thanks,
Andy

when a subst variable value is changed... to use the value in member formula or calc script, the concerned application has to be restarted...

Shared members and dynamic calc

I am trying to replicate a new cube from current GL cube and wish to remove unused shared members if they have any impact on essbase.
2/3 of my accounts (dense) member is stored with the remainder being shared members. Shared members do not add to block size. But having so many of them, does it impact on calc scripts or retrievals or any other impacts?
Secondly, in accounts and divisions, we have four levels. except for level 0, the remaining levels are all dynamic calc. Division is sparse member. Its not advisable to have dynamic calc on dense dimension. What about sparse dimension like division? Will it be better to change level 2&3 to dynamic and change level 1 to store as well?
We have also been advised by our consultant to change accounts to sparse dimension considering the number of times we need to update outline for new members (stored and shared).
Dimension          Type          Stored     Shared
Measure               Dense     1378     796     rest
Time               Dense     106     13     rest
Year               Dense     9     8
Currency          Sparse     12     9
Scenario          Sparse     41     38
Market               Sparse     20     12
Division          Sparse     490     302     rest
Product               Sparse     635     308
Reportcode          Sparse     327     299

Hi,
Having shared members in dense hierarchy will not have much of impact on Cube size or retrieval performance.
but its always advisable to avoid unnecessary hierarchies (shared or stored or dynamic).
Having top level dense members as dynamic lines is a good design but having sparse dynamic calc will impact retrieval performance.
its not at all advisable to make sparse members as dynamic calc but if needed we can make sparse members with very few children as dynamic calc (or dynamic calc & store). yet again its not advisable to have a dynamic calc children to a sparse stored parent as this will affect the batch calculation while aggregating parent sparse member.
And as suggested by your consultant it is feasible to make the dimension getting modified more often, as a sparse dimension as this will reduce the restructuring time (sparse restructure will take less time compared to dens restructure).
But that alone cannot be considered as factor as there are many other factors to be considered for making a dimension sparse.

Dense dim - dynamic calc

Hi
Essbase / Planning 11.1.2.1 - BSO db.
We are reviewing our app / db design following implementation last year. One of the things I have noticed is that one particular dense dimension has all members as stored (ie the non-level 0 members are not dynamic calc). Dimension has no member formulas, it is a straight roll up with consolidation for members consisting of (+ and ~).
I have changed this in our dev environment and ran some tests - calc time dramatically improved and total page file size halved (hard disk space becoming a slight issue for us so this is useful).
If we ran with this change, is there anything we need to do or be aware of, other than amending any business rules to exclude calc dims or partial aggs on the amended dimension? It seems a fairly low risk change, but looking for clarification that this is the case.....
The documentation on this states that any required combinations at non level 0 members will be calculated on the fly (eg a user retrieve). Is the same true if a non level 0 intersection is used within a business rule? (testing this on Sample Basic seems fine, again just looking for confirmation).
Thanks
JB

Yes, the same is true within a rule (i.e. if you reference an upper level in a dense dimension, Essbase will calculate it for you).
I think the only major functional issue that you haven't mentioned is that you need to be sure that none of your existing loads / calculations / user lock & send activities depend on being able to store a value at an upper level - for example, that you never load to a Quarter and then run a calc that allocates down to the Periods.

Data not replicated with partition and dynamic calc

HI
I am using Essbase 11.1.2.1.
I want to use a replicated pratition wetween two Essbase BSO applications.
But in my source application, I have to send an account ACCOUNT (level 1) with several stored members and 1 dynamic calc member with formula. Due to this Dynamic calc account, the partition doesn't work (data are not replicated).
How could I do?
Thanks
Fanny

You're right, dynamic calc account are not issues. I am using them in partition.
But py issue is there :
The source dimension is like this :
TAX (Dynamic Calc)
- 6xxxxxxx
- 6yyyyyyy
- 6zzzzzzz (Dynamic Calc) = formula
The target dimension is like this :
TAX
And so I need to send TAX (Source) to TAX (cible).
I don't think it is possible, but I would like a confirmation before using something else.
I hope it is clearer now.
thanks
Fanny

How to create dynamic calc account in multi-plan type application

Hi expert,
I have a planning application with 3 plan types.
I created a calculation script which fixed on accounts in plan type 1 only and the calculation suppose to calculate a "dynamiccalc" account with a member formula attached. Everytime I run the script, it takes very long time and I found there are sessions at the back of essbase with "Process local xref/xwrite request" request to other plan types.
It does not has this kind of session if I change the account to "store".
Would like to check, is it possible to create a dynamic calc account to calculate for only 1 plan type in a multi-plan type application? Is there any special setting that I need to do to enable this? I already selected source plan type as Plan type 1 for my dynamic calc account. Please help!
Many thanks!!
My HP application is on version 11.1.2.1.

Hi Jake,
Thanks for pointing out the check box. Overlooked it and the checkbox was not unchecked, even I only wanted the account to exist in 1 of the plan type.
However, after I unchecked and refresh now, when I run the calc script, it still trigger process at the back to the other 2 plan types with "Process local xref/xwrite request" request. What else could I have missed?
I already added the "HSP_Nolink" UDA to all accounts in plan type 2 and plan type 3 and confirmed that there's no account with "Xref" member formula, I really don't know why it is trying to process local xref request. Can anyone help??
Many thanks!!!

Unable to use Dynamic Calc members on webform Column.

Hi All,
I am getting an error 'invalid webform' if i keep a dynamic calc member in webform column. For example if i keep scenario "Variance", a dynamic calc member with a formula "Actual -Budget" on webform column, the form is giving me the error.
What could be the issue. I am using 11.1.2.1. It is working fine in our old version 9.3.1.
Many Thanks

Have you checked the essbase application log as it may be generating an error, could need the cache increasing.
Cheers
