RKM Essbase Issue

Hi,
We have created a cube in Essbase using Integration Services console.
Whn i tried to reverse the same cube in ODI i am getting the below error.
But when i tried to reverse the Sample Basic Schema its reversing fine.
The error msg in the operator is:
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:

RKM Hyperion Essbase Issue

Hi,
I am trying to reverse Basic database of Sample Schema.
I've created new ODI model and using the RKM Hyperion Essbase.
When i started the reverse process, the Set Metadata step of the execution is taking very long time (kind of hanging).
Actually the execution never gets completed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
VBV

Hi John,
Good to hear from you.
The Essbase is on the same server as ODI. And i'm using the local agent. I am not able to stop the Execution.
I mean it gets hung.
BTW, i'm following your blog to do these actions. Your doing a great job!!
I am new to Essbase. Actually we have a requirement, we have to load data into Essbase cube.
So i've directly started with Essbase and i'm not looking into Planning.
Thats why i have to reverse a cube and use it as a target.
Thanks,
VBV

Essbase issue on Shared Services OEPM11.1.1.2

Hi All,
I have one issue of Application Group created in Shared Services for Essbase...
If we delete the Application group for Essbase how can we get back it..Is there something stored as a backup after installation and
configuration...
I tried to reconfigure essbase with Shared Services and it is successfull...but there was a problem with Global Analytic Application not existing
with Shared Services during Essbase Startup...
Can you please help me in this regard?
Thanks,

Dear Experts,
This is something related to the Essbase Project created in Shared Services...I think the structure in OEPM11.1.1.2 is shown as
Application Group
----- Applications
----- Global Analytic Application (Problem is lying in this application during Essbase startup after reconfiguring with HSS)
Suppose if we delete the project how can we get back the Essbase Project if it is already in Shared Services Security Mode..
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks,

Strange Essbase Issue - Calculation doesnot yield proper result in MaxL

Hi,
All the Essbase veterans, need your help to look into this strange issue.
We are running Essbase on UNIX and we have a BSO application where a daily batch process runs to aggregate the database for Actual and Budget scenario. Strange things is, the nightly aggregation process doesn't properly aggregate the data, as we see variance between the stored and shared hierarchies. But if we run the same aggregation through EAS console manually, the aggregation yields correct results with zero variance between stored and shared hierarchies.
In the aggregation script we are clearing the upper level blocks (with UPDATECALC set to OFF), then use CALC dim on the entity and Accounts for aggregating the results.
This issue has been very strange to my little experience as the same calc behaves differently when called in MaxL.
Any helpful suggestion to nail this down are welcome.
Thanks in Advance !!

>
Isn't dense dimension supposed to aggregate properly (as it is within a block) in a single pass. I am getting confused as theory i know is in conflict..
Also, can Parents be tagged TWO PASS (as I cant think of any strong reason to make them two pass).
Edited by: user10725029 on May 2, 2012 8:30 PMIf the dimension is tagged as the accounts dimension and and you have two pass members that are not dynamic calc, running the default calc will do the calculation in a single pass. Otherwise if they are stored members, then you have to do a calc twopass. If you have twopass in another dimension than the accounts dimension, it has to be dynamic or or it won't calculate as two pass

EPMA 11.1.1.3 deployment of ASO application to Essbase issue

Hi,
We are having trouble deploying an ASO application from EPMA to Essbase. When we deploy the application it validates okay and then completes 100% but the outline does not get loaded into Essbase. In the EPMA deployment message text is the following error
*[Network Error: Cannot send Data, Loading new outline for database Failed]*
NB: 1. we have two other applications: a planning application and a BSO application. Both can be successfully deployed from the same application library to the same Essbase server so i think the issue is specific to the ASO application.
2. We successfully deployed the ASO application last Friday at 4pm prior to the change I am tryign to implement this week.
3. The three applications share common dimensions from the shared library one of which is the Account dimension.
4. The change I am trying to deploy is an alternate hierarchy in the account dimension (dynamic calc - containing shared members) - I have changed the storage type to Storedata in the ASO application.
5. I have subsequently removed the alternate hierarchy and tried to deploy - still gettign the same issue.
Any suggestions on where to look to solve this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Restoring the whole driectory has still been unsuccessful.
deployign the application from EPMA will start to build the otn file - very slowly - it took over an hour and then it just stops and never completes the deploy so we are left with an OTN and an OTL file and EPMA states that the application is deployed but out of sync with deployment.
the error we are gettign in the application log file is
[Thu Oct 04 09:20:27 2012]Local/FINASO///Error(1270005)
Fatal error: invalid page encountered in aggregate storage file at location [0001.0001.00000002]
[Thu Oct 04 09:20:27 2012]Local/FINASO///Error(1270071)
Page ID [0000.0000.00000000] in the page header doesn't match page location [0001.0001.00000002]
I have also tried building a replacement ASO application in EPMA and deploying it - we were able to complete this with an application with 3 local dimensions each with 1 member but this took over an hour. when we try to do it with the same build as our DEVELOPMENT equivalent for the ASO file (which works in dev) it starts to build it but then falls over and leaves just an otn in the database directory.
any ideas on what else i should be lookign at?
cheers
Darren

Data Export to Oracle table from essbase issue

Hello,
i am using a data export calc script to load data from essbase into an oracle table. We have Essbase 11.1.2.1 on windows 2008 64 bit R2 server. I have an ODBC system DSN created for this job.
However, when i launch this process i get a message in the log "Cannot read SQL driver name for [Backup Exec Catalogs] from [ODBC.INI]"
i have checked the ODBC.ini file also in C:\Windows directory and that file contains the connection entries...
Any thoughts as to why i am getting this error in one server whereas the same process on SIT server is working fine.
thanks...

please restart the application and try again . Check the application log if any details are there

Essbase Issue temp file location.

Is there a way to change the location where Essbase writes a temp file when data load(text file) is being done. It usually writes to Windows Temp location.
Also will Essbase writies similar temp file when data is loaded from sql too?
If anyone are familiar with this setting, please respond.
Appreciate any response.

Essbase Issue

Something happened during planning refresh to essbase database. During FX refresh the session is remaining in progress and not terminating.
I killed the esssv in server.
When I did excel retrieve again the "report" session in EAS remains in progresss and not terminating.
Any suggesion what to do now?
Restarting Essbase didn't help too.
Is the db corrupted?

There are absolutely no errors in logs, no .scp too. Database is not up yet. We are planning to restore it.
What I see that the datbases are starting and stoping. But when i retrieve in excel the process goes for ever.
One more interesting thing the database shows location alias when I edit loc alias.
But it doesnt dhow the stats in the edit properies option.
Something is corrupted it seems but which file i don't know
so planning to restore everything.
Hyperion Planning 9.2.0.3 has been a pain for corruption

Complex Essbase MDX Issue - Need Guidance

Hi,
I have a complex Essbase issue in ASO version 11.1.2.2. Currently I have a MDX formula with a Measure member named '10th Percentile'. It calculates the 10th Percentile perfectly. So new requirement is to create a new Measures member and instead of calculating the '10 Percentile' value, it needs to display the Customer Name of the value that is the 10th Percentile from the Customer dimension. So if I do a retrieval and the '10th Percentile' is 3.23, then it needs to display the Customer Name of the 3.23.
So I altered the formula to do what I think needs to be done and it verifies. However if I retrieve on that new measure in the Excel Add In, I get and error: An error [1200315] Occured in Spreadsheet Extractor. However if I navigate without data I don't get the error, but I also don't get any data, which I obviously need. So my question is, if MDX support reporting on Metadata not just Data, what/how can one report on it? Ideally I need to have this work in the Excel Add In as the client is using a custom vba modified template for their end users.
Any ideas and help?

Here's the formula. I bolded the part that is new.....

Horizontal Federation with Essbase

Hi,
I want to have a report in Answers that has essbase data alongside data from another SQL source. I went through the Oracle by example guide on how to do this (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/fed_data/fed_data.html), however, when I try to put the two side by side on a report I am running into some issues. First, I tried to put a salary figure for a manager from sql next to budget data for the same manager from essbase.
issue 1 - I made the salary aggregation 'sum' and no data showed up when I opened the report in answers.
issue 2 - I made the salary aggregation ' none' and data showed up when I ran a report for manager - salary, which is great. However, when I try to do manager - salary - budget, I get an error that says 'Unable to navigate requested expression: Market.Gen2,Market. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings.'. Now the schema should be looking at Market.Sales Manager, I am not sure why it is referencing the Market.Gen2,Market.
Could this be an issue with the Budget aggregation being sum and the salary measure being 'none'? However, I would like the salary to aggregate as a sum so why was I not getting data the first time through? I literally followed the OBE step by step, using a different cube with extremely similar dimensionality.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks,
DQ

You seem to be hitting several different issues here.
First of all, I would go and check your BMM layer and how it maps to the physical representation of the cube. "Market.Gen2,Market" is a physical cube column and a dimensional level in a standard cube import whereas in your case it looks like it was renamed to "Market.Sales Manager" in the BMM layer (assumption from my side based on what you write here).
Are your LTS set up correctly between the SQL data source and the cube in this area? I.e. do you have the respective matching column mappings for the market dimension?
As for the aggregations. I'm not a fan of that specific OBE since it mixes aggregation rules for Essbase sources between the BMM and physical layer. The "why" is nicely summed up in this post from Venkat: http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/oracle-bi-ee-10134-and-essbase-connectivity-understanding-aggregations-part-4/
Physical Layer: Aggr_External and BMM: SUM
1. If a report requests data that exists directly in Essbase, then the MDX generated would go only against those intersections.
2. If a report requests data that does not exist directly in Essbase, then the MDX fired would be pushed against the Essbase layer.
The major difference in this scenario and the one above is >the fact that Aggregation is the fact that the aggregation in this case
is done using the SUM function. So, this would generate wrong results if the outline contains Time Based properties like
TBAverage, TBLast etc. This sometimes can vary based on the outlines.
3. This supports relational calculation like concatenation etc. But the aggregation would happen only at the BI Server layer. The
MDX fired would go against all the level-0 intersections. So, >this is generally not recommended. Also, the numbers produced
might be wrong if you have lots of Label Only or Time Based properties in your outline.I'd go for SUM on both layers. Note that this will force a SUM of the cube though (no surprise) and depending on how and what your account members are calculating in the outline, this will also yield wrong numbers.
Best advice is anyways to use federated data sources (SQL + MDX) only in specifically defined cases. Don't try to extend your cube outline with relational attributes and expect them to work across all measure dimensions in the same way. (I.e. don't assume that every account and/or scenario intersection will yield the correct value).

Essbase Error involving member formula

We are having an essbase issue when accessing a data intersection that has three members that have member formulas. In FRS, we get the following error message:
Error executing query: Error: Internal Essbase JAPI error: [Cannot perform cube view operation. Essbase Error(1012700): The dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than [9] blocks from the heap. Either the CalcLockBlock setting is too low or the data cache size setting is too low. Increase CalcLockBlock setting or the data cache size setting and then retry]
I have tried numerous combinations of fixes for CalcLockBlock and data cache size and can't seem to get around this error.
If we look at an intersection with just two of the member formulas, it works. If we make the member formulas shorter, then it will load, but when we have the full member formulas there, it errors out.
Is this something that does indeed need to be fixed by CalcLockBlock settings? Any recommended settings? I have seen this issue on and off for years now and can't really nail down a good solution for it other than we change the member formulas.

I just want to make sure that when you increase the data cache size you are restarting the application you are changing the settings on.
Also, you should see the error changing
for example
The dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than [9] blocks from the heap
change to 20000kb
The dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than [16] blocks from the heap
change to 40000kb
The dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than [24] blocks from the heap
i.e. the number of blocks able to be locked is increasing - do you see this, or does it not change?

Higher version ASO to Low verion

Hi All,
I am trying to replace my existing ASO outline 9.3.1 version with 9.3.3 version .When I click on start database ,I am getting below error
*"There is a problem on loading the outline into memory , error # 1250053"*
When I click on OK , it shows message on the panel *"Error: 1002097 Unable to load database"*.
Please let me know if this is an Essbase issue or problem with the version difference.
Regards
Vishal

It is an unsupported scenario. I had to face it once with the same 920->901 versions. What I did was also absolutely unsupported at my own risk and it was a last chance action. I'll tell you what I did and how it worked for me, which doesn't mean it will work for any situation. If you open your file with a binary file editor you will see at the first file blocks a header that displays the export version "EXPORT:V09.02.00" This header is read by the import to check which version was used to generate the file and prevent an unsupported downgrade, I changed it to EXPORT:V09.00.01 and retried the import. A lot of error messages appeared, but it successfully loaded my information. I took the risk because I made sure this specific database contained just basic tables, indexes and version compatible objects and definitions, it was a testing environment, I didn't have the right Oracle version and there was no time to get it, and finally I had a bullet proof backup.

ODI 10.1.3.5 with SQL Server 2005

Good afternoon,
We recently installed 10.1.3.5, in a Windows environment with SQL Server 2005 and Hyperion Essbase/Planning/HFM 11.1.1. We were following John Goodwin's infamous blog (thanks, John!), but ran into a number of snags.
For instance, when we set-up interfaces with flat files as the source, loading metadata either to Planning or Essbase, ODI errors out when:
1) our header name in the flat file has spaces (using double quotes didn't work)
2) our header name in the flat file is different than the reverse property name from Essbase/Planning.
Also, we're now seeing an issue in our Flat file to Essbase metadata interface where the SQL used in the IKM seems to be incorrect. Below is the error message we're receiving:
"org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 20, in ?
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements,
look for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed. Add a name or single space as the alias name."
We are thinking that the culprit may be either the wrong .jar or .jre we're using with SQL Server 2005, as there seem to be inherent issues with the SQL generated in the LKM and IKM. Our questions to you:
1. What sqljdbc.jar driver version are you using?
2. What .jre version are you using?
3. What environment does the above work correctly in? (perhaps an earlier version of ODI against an earlier version of Hyperion?)
FYI - We have tried sqljdbc 1.0 and 2.0, with .jre 1.6.0_10.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for responding!
After a 2 week battle, we are now finally coming to a close on our issues (although we cannot say for sure what all of the causes were).
Here is what we discovered about our questions, through other threads:
1. John Goodwin was using JRE 1.6.x, so we ruled that out as a culprit.
2. Others are using SQL Server 2005 just fine with ODI, so we ruled this out too. We chose to keep the sqljdbc 2.0 driver.
Here are some issues we did uncover during our investigation:
1. We were having issues with our agent, specifically regarding the HFM technology. We created a new one, added a few extra parameters, compiled the agent, and are now back up and running. We realized the problem when we switched to "Local (No Agent)" and saw that we were not having as many issues.
2. We went into the physical agent and pressed "Update Scheduling". We do not know if this had any effect, but we suddenly noticed that our flat file header issues were resolved.
3. The Essbase issue was due to a configuration error with our Hyperion Essbase physical technology. We went into that technology and changed a setting on the "Languages" tab, called "Object Delimiter". It had double-quotes in it - we removed that parameter and instantly saw a change in the SQL being executed.
4. Some of the mappings in our interfaces needed to be executed on different environments. i.e. - We needed to switch to "staging" when the flat file header was different than the target column name. Newbie mistake - we thought ODI had built-in intelligence to choose correctly for us.
5. When doing a reverse on Essbase models, we noticed that the Essbase columns would populate with an "Undefined" datatype, instead of the expected CHAR. We have to manually define all column datatypes after every Essbase reverse now. Must be a bug.
6. We also noticed when doing a flat file reverse that all columns auto-populate with datatype STRING, length 50. We have to manually personalize that option for different Hyperion applications, based on need. i.e. - some require numeric datatypes, or smaller/larger lengths. This was obviously a newbie error. :)
Thank you for your tip on the MS SS2005 JDBC drivers - we will look into your other options - IMHO, JTDS, etc.
