Retrieving data from Essbase through OBIEE

Hi experts
I developed some reports in answer to read data from an Essbase cube but does not display my data, but if I check the same crossing through Smart View, this works fine. someone has any idea what could be happening?
Thank you very much in advance
Cristián

Hi Paul, thanks for you time
In Administration tools I imported the essbase model and then I drag and drop to the logic and presentation layer, I did not change in the import process
I have to change something to see data?
Thanks in advance

  • Error when trying to retrieve data from Essbase

    Hi There
    I running OBIEE 10.1.3.4.0 and Essbase 9.3.1. When im trying to update member count for instance(from administration tool) it gives me the following errors.
    nQSError 10058, nQSError 43093 and Essbase Error 1260046. This is when im testing against an Essbase I have developed for my self. If I try using one of the supplied sample databases it works fine...
    Does anybody have an idea about what could be wrong?
    Any pointers would be much appreciated!
    Regards, Jacob

    Hi,
    That warning / error message will be coming from the MDX interface on the BW server.  It does not originate from BOBJ.
    This question would be better asked to support component BW-BEX-OT-MDX

  • Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect

    Hi Everyone,
    I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
    Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
    Can anyone please let me know about it.
    Thanks,
    Joshua.

    Hi,
    You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
    General information
    The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
    There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
    In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
    Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
                    - Tools
                    - SQL syntax
                    - DB-specific functions
    Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
    Procedure
    You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
    Installing the client software on an BW application server
                         Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
                         Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
    Testing connection setup from BW to Q
                         After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
    Creating a separate U user in Q
                         We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
    Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
                         To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
                         CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
                           SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
                         You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
                            GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
                         Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
                         !!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
                         Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
                           CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
                         !!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
                         After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
                           SELECT * FROM <view or table>
                         on the Q system to check which data is returned.
                         You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
    Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
    Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
    Solution
    Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
          Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
    Possible problems
    - Synonyms do not (yet) work!
    Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
    With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
      CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
    - The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
    Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
    Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
    Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
    - Oracle Client Software Version
    If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
    If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
    - Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
    Example with a DATE field:
    Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
        SQL> desc dba_tables;
    The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
    To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
    SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
          where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
    The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
    SQL> select  to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
    The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
    SQL> select  to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
    The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
    You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
    SQL> select  to_char(
           TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
           'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
    with the result:
      DATIM
      01-02-03 04-05-06
    When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
    Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
    - Special characters
    A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
    The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
    For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there.

  • Extract data from Essbase using APIs

    Hi All
    I was going through the API documentation for Essbase and data extraction from Essbase using API.
    It seems APIs make use of Report script to extract data from Essbase. This would increae the overhead of writing a report script everytime you need to extract data from Essbase.
    Is there any other method to extract/export whole or specific data from essbase using APIs?
    How does Excel Add-in retrieves data from essbase without any report script?
    Can Provider services be helpful in any way to achieve this?
    Please help

    Hi,
    Its hard to say if there is a faster way without knowing how you're doing it now. A few questions:
    - why are you using the API to get at Essbase Data, especially if you've already defined a (some) report scripts?
    - if you want to use provider services, vs having to ensure all the libraries and the client are present, why not use the JAPI?
    - Without seeing your code, its hard to know why you're getting out of memory errors. What are you doing with the data as you're parsing it from the report?
    Grid API exists for the C API, and more noteable the JAPI, but not VB(I'm surprised the VB api still exists).
    Why not just use the Java API?

  • Retrieving data from OBIEE server using ODBC

    Hello.
    I am having difficulty retrieving data from OBIEE 11g using the ODBC connection. My intention is to read OBIEE Server data via a SQL statement issued from an Oracle database using gateways.
    I have read and followed the material here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e16364/odbc_data_source.htm#CACBFCJA
    I have also tried this from Excel 2007, but have not succeeded:
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/import_data_from_obiee_to_excel
    I have setup a gateway in Oracle and a database link. Iknow it is connecting because when I change the password to something invalid, I get a message about not being able to connect due to username/password.
    I have taken a query from Answers (the advanced tab) and tried running it from Sql Developer. The nsqserver.log file ends up with the following Notification:
    [nQSError: 13013] Init block, 'DUAL Num (=3)', has more variables than the query select list.
    As an experiment, I am using the SampleApp, and have generated the following query in Answers:
    SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2, s_3 FROM (
    SELECT
    0 s_0,
    "A - Sample Sales"."Products"."P3 LOB" s_1,
    DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("A - Sample Sales"."Products"."P3 LOB") s_2,
    "A - Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."1- Revenue" s_3
    FROM "A - Sample Sales"
    ) djm ORDER BY 1, 2 ASC NULLS LAST
    Is there a way to issue this query from a database client like SQL Developer? I have setup a database link called obiee via gateways to the ODBC connection, and add @obiee after the table name in the above query, but get the nqs error above.
    Thanks for any help. I can provide addl info if such would be useful.
    Ari

    That would explain my difficulty. I went to the link:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/biee.htm#CHDIFHEE
    that describes the deprecated client. I am confused by the statement there:
    "one of the many widely available third-party ODBC/JDBC tools to satisfy previous NQClient functionality"
    My understanding of ODBC is not very strong, so please bear with me. The statement above is talking about a client tool, but there also needs to be an ODBC driver available for BI Server. I may be a bit confused between driver and client, and what piece nq handles. I don't understand the comment about third-party ODBC when it comes to the driver piece, as that must be coded for BI Server. When I go to create a new DSN, the only driver that makes sense for me to select is:
    Oracle BI Server 11g_OH<id>
    That all works fine to setup a DSN. But I am unable to connect from Excel, etc., using this DSN.
    Put more simply, should I be able to connect to BI Server via ODBC - not using the deprecated BI ODBC client, but using other clients? Is there ODBC connectivity at all in OBIEE 11g?
    Thanks,
    Ari

    It seems that you are trying to use the file as your staging areas. Hyperion LKM extracts essbase data into a DB staging area which can then be used by your file IKM to load it into file.
    You need to use a RDBMS for your staging area.

  • Retrieving data from a BW Query runs endlessly in Crystal

    Hi,
    I have installed Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 with SAP BO Integration Kit 3.1. When I create a new file from a SAP BW 7 Query I everything works fine (field selction etc) until I run it and try to extract data from the database. I can enter the parameters and enter the login data for the BW connection. After that I can see the entry "retrieving data from the database" in the status bar and that's it. The screen kind of freezes and I don't get any result. I can wait for 2 hrs no result. In the end I cannot even get back to screen. I have to close it through taskmanager.
    I have tested the query with transaction RSRT and the same parameter value I chose in Crystal reports and there I get a result. Therefore the entry values should be fine.
    Did I install anything wrong, did somebody encounter this problem as well?
    Thanks a lot in advance for any help provided

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP  B1

    Hello friends,
                 I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report,  it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
               Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Keyur Raval.

    I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

  • Exporting Data from Essbase to Excel

    Hi All,
    We are using classic planning application developed in Hyperion 11.1.2.2.
    Is there any way that we can export data from Essbase to Excel (Please note that i don't want to do it on server machine where essbase is installed, instead i want it on any client PC which is accessing Essbase)

    there are many ways you can do that, Through Excel Add-in,SmartView functions etc different.
    It depends on the requirement , if you mean to say who Essbase Data then someone else should be able to answer this.
    Thanks
    Amith
