Parallel Export from multiple Essbase cubes

Hi,
Is it possible to take parallel Export from Essbase where the source data resides in multiple cubes? I am looking at using source data(lev 0) from multiple cubes and load into simultaneous txt files.
Please provide links to any documents that may help.
Regards,
Lijoy

IF I read your question correctly, No. You can't merge multiple cube sources into one set of export files. The files are open for output and can't be shared. If you tried to do the one after the other into the same file, it would overwrite.
You could get creative and after the exports are done concatinate the files together to get a single file. I'm couroius, why do you need all the data in a single file. Even if oyu are loading to other systems you ssould be able to load multiple files. If not, then the concatination through a windows batch script or unix shell script would give you what you want.

Combining relation facts with dimensions from an Essbase cube

Hi!
I am having trouble combining relational measures (from EBS) with dimensions from an Essbase cube. The dimensions that we want to use for reporting (drilling etc) are in an Essbase cube and the facts are in EBS.
I have managed to import both the EBS tables and the cube into OBIEE (11.1.15) and I have created a business model on the cube. For the cube I converted the accounts dimension to a value based dimension, other than that it was basically just drag and drop.
In this business model I created a new logical table with an LTS consisting of three tables from the relational database.
The relational data has an account key that conforms to the member key of the accounts dimension in the Essbase cube. So in the accounts dimension (in the BMM layer) I mapped the relational column to correct column (that is already mapped to the cube) - this column now has two sources; the relational table and the cube. This account key is also available in the LTS of my fact table.
The content levels for the LTS in the fact table have all been set to detail level for the accounts dimension.
So far I am able to report on the data from the fact table (only relational data) and I can combine this report with account key from the account dimension (because this column is mapped to the relational source as well as the cube). But if expand the report with a column (from the accounts dimension) that is mapped only to the cube (the alias column that contains the description of the accounts key), I get an error (NQSError 14025 - see below).
Seeing as how I have modeled that the facts are connected to the dimension through the common accounts key, I cannot understand why OBIEE doesn't seem to understand which other columns - from the same dimension - to fetch.
If this had been in a relational database I could have done this very easily with SQL; something along the lines of select * from relational_fact, dim_accounts where relational_fact.account_key=dim_accounts.account_key.
Error message:
[nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail

Avneet gave you the beginnings of one way, but left out that a couple of things. First, you would want to do the export of level zero only. Second, the export needs to be in column format and third, you need to make sure the load rule you use is set to be additive otherwise the last row will overwrite the previouse values.
A couple of other wats I can think of doing this
Create a replicated partition that maps the 3 non used dimensiosn to null (Pick the member at the top of the dimension in your mapping area)
Create a report script to extract the data putting the three dimensions in the page so they don't show up.
Use the custom defined function jexport in a calc script to get what you want

Dynamically connect to multiple Essbase cubes from 1 adapter

Hi Guys,
i have 14 Essbase cubes (containing the same dimensions).
What i like to accomplish is that based on the selected location in the POV an essbase cube is selected..
I've updated the connect action with:
If RES.pstrLoc = "SampleGreece" Then
                    objHW.Connection.PstrDatabase = "TstGRE"
               ElseIf RES.pstrLoc = "SampleSpain" Then
                    objHW.Connection.PstrDatabase = "TstSPA"
               Else
                    objHW.Connection.PstrDatabase = API.DataWindow.DBTools.fGlobalOptionGet(API.IntBlockMgr.IntegrationMgr.PstrSysKey & "DBName").Value
               End If
And this works fine for the first location..
However, when i change the pov to another location the 'browse for target value' still points to the first one. After re-logon it works fine for the new location.
It looks like its stored in some kind of cache memory so i'm looking for a method to clear this cache or to reconnect while changing the POV.
It's FDM and Essbase 11.1.1.3
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Tony,
thanks for your reply...
I thought about that as well but the 14 cubes (countries) are allowed to add level 0 members so in the mapping table i need to point to the correct Essbase cube as well..
I wasn't able to find any script that is triggered while updating the mapping (by clicking browse for target value)..
So adjusting the connect does solve my problem partially since there's some kind of cache that i need to refresh..
Do you know if this is possible?
Otherwise i have to go for the multiple adapter solution.
Kind regards,

Disable parallel slaves from multiple instances in RAC.

Hi All,
By default while using parallel execution in RAC slaves are spead accross multiple instances.
Why can I ensure slaves are allocated to only on that node where query is executed.
Basically to avoid interconnect trafic.
Thanks,
Raja.

It would cripple RAC, wouldn't it. It would make any query on any gv$ view impossible.
Even if it was possible, it would make your database unsupported.
Apart from that, it doesn't make sense too. You want to distribute resources, and to run on the server which is least loaded.

XDK Export in XML from multiple tables

Hello everybody,
I have to export data from an Oracle database to a XML file and then generate the Java classes.
1)
I used XSU successfully with one table. My problem is to retrieve data not from a unique table but from multiple tables linked by relations.
I wanted to do this using XSU to retrieve data from the database and create the corresponding XML schema.
That seems to be possible but I need help for database relations.
Can someone help me to explain if it is possible to export from multiple tables (and if yes how)?
2)
Having my XML schema then I will have to generate Java objects. How is it possible with the XML Class Generator for Java?
Does anybody have experience and samples?
Many Thanks in advance!

Hi Elodie,
Please refer the Product Order sample on OTN that describes the usage of XML Class Generator for Java.
The URL for it is:

Hope it helps

Drill through with OLAP Universe on Essbase cube

Hi all
How can I achieve drill through from an Essbase cube to an Oracle database?
Is there an option in OLAP universes to achieve this?
If not do I have alternative options?
Thank you for your help and kind regards,
Dean

Hi,
There is no way to activate drill-through from Essbase to any other database within OLAP universes.
If you are using Web Intelligence you have 2 alternatives:
<li> The first one is to create 2 data providers (1 on Essbase and 1 on Oracle) and synchronize them.
This is not really a drill thorugh operation but you have both data sources in sync in the same document.
<li> The second option is to create 2 Web Intelligence documents (1 on Essbase and 1 on Oracle) and then parameterize the Essbase document to use Opendoc capabilities (hyperlink) to dril-through on the Oracle document.

Multiple source columns from Oracle DB to Hyperion Essbase cube

Hi Experts ,
We have a Source as oracle table to the target Hyperion Essbase Cube(Planning) 11.1.2 using ODI 11g.
Right now my issue is We need to map multiple columns from Oracle DB to One Dimension in Essbase (Planning).
For example -> * In Oracle table i have columns as Name,Volume,unit and item *
In Essbase the dimension called "*CatDefinition has lower level members as Name,Volume,unit and item * "
Now using ODI ,* I want to map the oracle table columns(Multiple) to the dimension(Catdefinition) ? * Please suggest me with idea to achieve multiple column mapping to the single dimension in Essbase .
Thanks in Advance !
Keny Alex

Do you even need FDM? You could build a load rule in Essbase directly. If you need to map, then you would register the Essbase target adapter.

Fetch data from multiple cubes...help

Hello,
this is the very first time I post in this forum. I am using EssBase and now Smartview since about one year getting simple retrieves from cubes. One sheet for each cube I need.
Now I would like to merge two sheet that are based on different cubes and I am thinking to use only one sheet to fetch data from the two cubes. I think I have to define multiple grids but I'm not sure if it so.
Can you suggest me some useful link or tutorial where I could find more info about it? I am really new with this.
thank you, your help will be really appreciated.
ciao

Hi,
Welcome to the forums!
This document will show you how to define multiple grids: Page 55

Its straightforward enough - let us know if you have any questions!

Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

Hi all,
Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
Looking forward to ur reply.

Hi
OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

Can I do Parallel Full loads from ODS to Cube.

Hai,
Usually I will do one a full update load from OD'S to Cube. to speed up the process can I do parallel Full update loads from ods to Cube?
Please advise.
Thanks, Vijay,

Assuming that the only connection we are talking about is between a single ODS and a single Cube.
I think the only time you could speed anything up is in full drop an reload scenario. You could create multiple InfoPackages based on selection and execute them simultaneously.
If the update is a delta there is really no way to do it.
How many records are we talking about? Is there logic in the update rule?

Fetch data from three different Essbase cube in to Reporting

Hi Experts,
I want to know how to fetch data from three different Essbase cubes in to HFR or smart view reports.

If you create a multiple data source Financial Reports report, you get the best of both worlds:
1) No code required reports
2) You can view the reports in Workspace
3) You can view the FR reports in SmartView
Unless you really need it, I wouldn't go down the SmartView/VBA path, especially as you lose all ad-hoc capability with a mutli sheet retrieval with code. There are costs associated with going down the path of template reporting (which is what you are now talking about). See this thread for a good discussion of those costs:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1300202750/Template+Coding+Smartview+or+Classic+-Opinionson+time
Remember, the people posting in this thread are pretty experienced practitioners, so unless you are a code god, I would multiply the estimates by 1.5 or 2 or 3, especially if you're learning the VBA functions for the first time.
Just my $0.02.

Loading a level 0 export from one cube to another w/ fewer dimensions

We have an Essbase cube w/ 13 dimensions. I'd like to take a level 0 export of the current cube and load it into a new cube w/ fewer dimensions. Can I use a load rule against a level 0 export file so that I can ignore a few dimensions that we no longer need? Or is there a better way to accomplish this task?
Thanks.
Terri T.

I used the DataExport and specified wh/ dimensions I wanted to pull for loading into the new cube w/ fewer dimensions. I'm working on the load rule file and have it set up to ignore certain columns. I don't use load rules that often, so I'm having a hard time setting up the load rule to accept multiple months worth of data for a particular intersection. I tried setting up the first data column to March, for example, but it changes the column header to Period instead of showing March and then I am not able to set up the next column for April. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Multiple CSV exports from the one button or pl/sql procedure?

I need to have multiple csv exports from the one press of a button. The easiest way I found to do this is it to use javascript to popup three windows, each as a CSV link. This is a bit ugly though, and leaves the browser popup windows open when the file has been downloaded.
I guess I could also make a solution based on branching, but I think that would be difficult to maintain and reeks of bad design (im not a fan of this spagetti GOTO style code!).
I implemented Scott's custom CSV as found here: http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2006/04/custom-export-to-csv.html
However I would like to know if its possible to download more than one file using this method. I could not work out how to do this .
Has anyone got any ideas? Simply repeating the code puts the second table into the original csv file. Is there a way to 'reset' the htp writer or smoething?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Alex

Sorry for the confusion - I guess I mean its easy in .NET because you can simply compress files together and then send 1 zip file down as the response. See http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/11087_3510026_2 for details.
I guess I could ask how to do this in APEX - but it seems to me that my original wording addresses the concept at a much more abstract level. I may not find the best solution for my problem if I just asked 'how can I dynamically zip together three tables as seperate files and send them to the client?'. I also suspect that this method is not possible in APEX without custom packages. Please prove me wrong!
I guess even if I could find some kind of javascript that didnt open a new window, but was a direct download to the CSV, that would be a good compromise. At the moment when you click on the link, three windows come up and stay blank until the files are ready for downloading. Then after the files have been downloaded the windows must be shut manually. Yes, I could use javascript to make the windows 1x1 pixel perhaps, and then shut them after a predetermined timeframe - but this is hardly an elegant solution!
Thanks for your responses.

How to load data to a cube from multiple infosources ?

Hi friends,
How to load data to a cube from multiple infosources ? could u please answer this question .
thanks in advance......

Hi ,
say for example you need to load data to 1 cube from 3 info sources:
1) You need to create 3 update rules for the Cube.
2) Each time you create the update rules. Mention the name the name of the Info source. and create update rules correspondingly.
