ROLAP Cube - OBI EE Reporting

Hello,
I have followed the tutorial on MOLAP cube and OBI EE http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/olap/index.html.
I have now build a Relational OLAP Cube using Oracle Warehouse Builder and I want to report on it using OBI EE.
How shall I proceed? Shall I do the same mapping operation as for a MOLAP Cube?
Shall I use Materialized Views? How to use them?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards
Matthieu

Hi all...
The problem has been solved, the solution was to install the Essbase version 11.1.1.3, because it is the latest version certified for OBI 10.1.3.4. By doing this the problem was solved.
The oracle support SR 3-205005527 is associated with this solution.
Best Regards.

BI publisher report not refreshing when associated OBI EE report is changed

We have a dashboard that has an OBI report at the top, and a linked BI Publisher report underneath. The BI Publisher report is supposed to reflect a template version of the results in the OBI report.
On the initial load of the report, the two reports are synched and matching. However, when you change a prompt with a request variable for the OBI report, the BI publisher report either blanks out or shows the prior information which no longer matches. If I change defaults in the OBI EE report, resave, then reload, the BI Publisher always gets it right the first time, just never again after that.
Since all my research to this point led to a caching issue, here are the report properties that matter(?):
Report properties:
Caching –
Enable Data Caching = unchecked
User Level = checked
Document Caching = unchecked
User Can Refresh Report Data = checked
General -
Run Report Online = checked
Show Controls = checked
Allow Sharing Report Links = checked
Open Links in New Window = checked
Asynchronous Mode = unchecked
Auto Run = checked
Also – how do you make PDF the default output for a BI Publisher report? When we load this dashboard, it always tries to run the RTF version, and we have to Cancel, choose PDF and then refresh to get the PDF version.

when you change a prompt with a request variable for the OBI reportUse Presentation Variable instead of Request Variable. Make sure you keep the same name for both Parameter in the BIP report and Presentation Variable in BI.

How to create a ROLAP Cube that has two fact tables.

I want to know if it is possible to create a ROLAP Cube with two fact tables.
Suppose that I have these two star schemas:
The first star schema has only a measure and a time dimension. The time dimension has three levels (Year -> Month -> Day)
The second star schema has the same measure of the first schema and a time dimension. In this schema the time dimension has only two levels (Year -> Month). The values of the measure of this schema come from the first schema, this is, the value of the measure for a defined year and month results of the sum of all fact values of the first schema, that have the same year and month.
I want to know if is possible to create a ROLAP cube that can get the information of the two star schemas, according to the level that the user are consulting.
For example, if the user consults the cube with "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In", and if the user is consulting the first two levels (Year and Month), then the ROLAP cube would get the information of the second star schema.
But if the user does a drill down in a month to get information of the days, then the ROLAP cube would get the information of the first star schema.
Is it possible to do this?
Regards,
Rui Torres

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. Sorry if I get this wrong.
You have two fact tables, one with data values at the day, month and year levels and a second fact table with data values at just the month and year levels. If this is the case, in the CWM2 APIs or OWB Paris, you would create a view that joins the two tables together and then map this view to the ROLAP cube.
For CWM2 details, please refer to the Oracle OLAP Reference.

Number of records in Cube and in report

Hi,
Is it possible to have less number of records visible in InfoCube and in reporting report has to show all the records?i.e., if cube contains 100000 records while using InfoCube--->manage and checking the data it has to show only 90000 records,while reporting it has to show all the records.If it is possible how?

If you want all the records to be displayed on the report as in the cube create a report having all chars & keyfigures with no filters.
Sry, I dont get the 90000 part..."checking the data it has to show only 90000 records" -- checking where & how ?
<b>**Added</b> will be the num of records in the cube.

Casual "more than 4,294,967,296 tuples" errors upon query to ROLAP cube

With SSAS 2008R2 SP2 CU12 I observe the behavior that looks weird to me and I'd be very thankful for explanation or help with this problem as long as this issue is experienced by our customer and it has critical status now. Fortunately, I was able to reproduce
this in lab environment, so I've pretty much details.
I have an independent process that constantly adds facts and members to relational tables that are used in ROLAP cube and dimensions.
I have MDX query like this:
SELECT
NON EMPTY
    {[Measures].[MyPhysicalMeasure1]} ON COLUMNS
,NON EMPTY
        [MyDim1].[MyDim1].[MyDim1].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim2].[MyDim2].[MyDim2].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim3].[MyDim3].[MyDim3].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim4].[MyDim4].[MyDim4].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyCalendarDim5].[MyCalendarDim5].[Minute].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim6].[MyDim6].[MyDim6].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim7].[MyDim7].[MyDim7].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim8].[MyDim8].[MyDim8].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim9].[MyDim9].[MyDim9].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim10].[MyDim10].[MyDim10].ALLMEMBERS*
        [MyDim11].[MyDim11].[MyDim11].ALLMEMBERS
DIMENSION PROPERTIES
    MEMBER_CAPTION
   ,MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME
   ON ROWS
FROM
SELECT
    [MyCalendarDimNamedSet_12Months] ON COLUMNS
FROM
    SELECT
      StrToSet
      ("[MyDim12].[MyDim12].&[MyMember1].&[MyMember11]"
       ,CONSTRAINED
      ) ON COLUMNS
    FROM [MyROLAPCube1]
CELL PROPERTIES
VALUE
,BACK_COLOR
,FORE_COLOR
,FORMATTED_VALUE
,FORMAT_STRING
,FONT_NAME
,FONT_SIZE
,FONT_FLAGS;
So, here is scenario:
1) If I run this query for a 1st time I'm getting the error:
"The expression contains a function that cannot operate on a set with more than 4,294,967,296 tuples."
2) If I keep the process that adds facts and members running I'm constantly getting the same error on attempt to execute MDX:
"The expression contains a function that cannot operate on a set with more than 4,294,967,296 tuples."
3) If I stop the process that adds facts and members and wait for few seconds, the query will be successfully executed!
4) If I keep the process that adds facts and members stopped, the query will be successfully executed at any time.
5) If I keep the process that adds facts and members stopped, reconnect client, the query will be successfully executed at any time.
6) If I keep the process that adds facts and members stopped, restart SSAS and reconnect client, the query will be successfully executed at any time.
7) If I resume the process that adds facts and members, wait for few seconds, the query will fail with the same error:
"The expression contains a function that cannot operate on a set with more than 4,294,967,296 tuples."
I have already tried replacing the NON EMPTY with NonEmpty function, as some articles suggest - no luck, results will be the same.
I'd be very thankful for explanation or any help with this problem!
Thanks!

Hi Andrei,
The error “The expression contains a function that cannot operate on a set with more than 4,294,967,296 tuples” was described on the link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2430162
And it said that it was fixed in the Cumulative update package 2 for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2, however, you have applied CU 12 in your environment and still can reproduce this error. So I am afraid this issue can occurs on some particular condition.
So I recommend you submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is released in the next release of service pack or product. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that they can be, Microsoft might consider to add this feature
in the following release after official confirmation.
We appreciate your comprehension.

ROLAP cube aggregation deployment failure

Hi All
My ROLAP cube aggregation deployment is failing with following error:
dbms_odm.createcubeleveltuple ORA-06533: Subscript beyond count
Has anyone got any idea about this failure please ?

Hi Bonniejp,
According to your description, it seems that it's a permission issue when deploy project to Analysis Services. By default, the default account for AS services has only public permission to few databases. If you haven't change the AS services
account, or haven't grant the permission for this account, then you cannot deploy the AS project to server.
So in your scenario, to avoid this issue, you can grant the SELECT permission for the default account for AS services to data source DB (Adventure Works DW2012). Or you can change the services account to this domain user who has the corresponding to the
data source DB.
If this is not what you want, pelase post the detail information about the error, so that we can make further analysis.

Simultaneous data activation in cube - request for reporting available

Hi,
I'm on BW 3.5.
I am loading several million records to a cube, processing is to PSA first and subsequently to data target.
I have broken the load up into 4 separate loads to prevent caches from filling up and causing huge performance issues.
When I load all the data in a single load, it takes 10 hours to load. When I break it up into 4 loads it takes 3 hours.
My problem is that during the loading from PSA to data target, the first data load becomes green and ready for reporting before the last one has finished loading, and so the users get inaccurate report results if they happen to run a report before the last request activates.
Is it possible to get all 4 requests to activate simultaneously?
I have tried adding an aggregate to the cube, no good.
I have tried loading the 4 loads to the PSA in sequential order in the process chain, and then loading from PSA to data target simultaneously (side by side), no good.
Does anyone have a solution?
Many thanks,
Paul White

Hi ....
Have you done the Roll up ?
Since aggregates are there on that cube....until and unless you do the roll up that request will not be available for Reporting...

Cube with different reports data

Hi
We have 3 different Reports based on a Multi which has only one Infocube.
We have new design policy that any New different report that needs to be created should be based only on this Multi and all data should be loaded only into this only infocube on which this Multi is based.
So for the existing 3 reports,we have three different database views in source database.Fullload will be done from source every weekend(previous week's request will be deleted every week) of snapshot data into three different DSOs from these three different datasources.(Its new policy that every report should have its own DSO ).All these 3 DSOs should be connected to only one cube on which our reporting Multiprovider is based.So from these 3 DSOs,data will be loaded into cube in fullload every weekend(previous week's request will be deleted)
Now my question is:
1.when all the data is going to cube from three different views and DSOs(with different keyfigures but some same characteristics in 3 DSOs),how can our 3 different reports pick data that is relevant for it when all data is pooled together in one big cube?Doesnot aggregation happens?
(When a report is run,does OLAP processor goes into cube and picks only those keyfigures and characteristics in cube thats relevant for that report and by that way,avoids other data??)
2.I need to create one new report.For this I need to create one new view and one new DSO.So,data will be loaded from view to DSO and this DSO will be connected to existing cube(new dataflow until cube from source view).But our cube doesnot contain one keyfigure.It contains all other characteristics and keyfigures from DSO.
a)How can I add this new keyfigure from new DSO to cube without disturbing existing data in cube.I donot need to load historical data for this new keyfigure and new report.
b)I am going to transport this from development.So what care do I need to take while transporting changes to Production cube which contains lots of data and many reports running on it?
Thanks.

*1.when all the data is going to cube from three different views and DSOs(with different keyfigures but some same characteristics in 3 DSOs),how can our 3 different reports pick data that is relevant for it when all data is pooled together in one big cube?Doesnot aggregation happens?

It will depend on what Key Figures you are displaying in your report. If a KF is coming from only 2 DSOs, data from those 2 DSOs will be displayed. And you are right in saying that OLAP processor will pick only releavnt KFs and Characteristics but it will not filter based on characteristic value e.g. if a characteristis is coming only from DSO 1 and not from DSO2, but KF is coming from both, so for the data in DSO 2 that characteristic will be displayed as #. If you want to filter data, you can put filters in the report.
Another good option can be to store the DSO name as a characeteristic in your cube, it might be helpful if you want to make a reprot based on data from a particular DSO, then you can put the filter based on DSO name.
*2.I need to create one new report.For this I need to create one new view and one new DSO.So,data will be loaded from view to DSO and this DSO will be connected to existing cube(new dataflow until cube from source view).But our cube doesnot contain one keyfigure.It contains all other characteristics and keyfigures from DSO.

You are adding a new KF which is coming only from new DSO, so you do not need to worry about a lot of things, you can move your changes to procudtion and load data from this new DSO. Data which is already there in the cube will not be impacted.

Report using GL Hierarchy directly from a cube in crystal reports

Hi,
I am trying to build a crystal report showing GL account hierarchy ( a P n L report). When I am trying to source this field from the BW cube directly its not showing up on the report preview at all.
I built something similar with hierarchy using a Bex query which worked fine. I am curious what it is that could possibly be missing here.
Let me know if you need more information from me to explain the issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Varun

Hi,
when you use the BW query you should have the hierarchy in Crystal Reports.
When you connect to the cube directly you should see all the hierarchies from the cube.

Cube's size report

Hi all,
Because of performance issue I want to collapse some cubes in my BW system.
I want to know if there is any report that can show me a list of all cubes and size/usage of these cubes.
Thanks in advanced.

As other have mentioned, DB02, will provide database storage allocations for each table and index, you'll just need to wild card the InfoCube Name to get the E and F fact tables, D dimension tables, ans all the associated indices. You would have to get the aggregates as a separate piece.
Maybe you don't care about storage, but are looking for row counts. If that is the case RSRV has a test you can run- Under All Elementary Tests / Database is a test called Database Information about InfoProvider Tables. It provides the following:
Database information about InfoProvider 0BWTC_C02 tables
0BWTC_C02 is a BasisInfoCube
Cube 0BWTC_C02 has 6 dimensions; 2 dimensions are line item dimensions
Table /BI0/D0BWTC_C021 has 55184 entries. Size corresponds to 48% of the InfoCube
Table /BI0/D0BWTC_C024 has 160580 entries. Size corresponds to 140% of the InfoCube
Table /BI0/D0BWTC_C02P has 58 entries. Size corresponds to 0% of the InfoCube
Table /BI0/D0BWTC_C02T has 963 entries. Size corresponds to 1% of the InfoCube
Table /BI0/E0BWTC_C02 has 102791 entries. Size corresponds to 89% of the InfoCube
Table /BI0/F0BWTC_C02 has 12275 entries. Size corresponds to 11% of the InfoCube
Keep in mind this info is based on the database statistics, so if they are stale for some reason, your row counts will be off.
As for usage, the BW Statistics business content queries can identify that, although for what you are looking for it might be easier to use ST03N in Expert Mode. It provides access to the last couple of months of the same data, summarized at InfoProvider and Query levels.
Also your DBA should be able to get you this info from DBA_TABLES (Oracle environment)
TABLE_NAME        NUM_ROWS    BLOCKS
/BI0/ABBP_CON00   8864658     379455
/BI0/ABBP_CON40   17630       832
/BI0/ABBP_CON50   0           1
/BI0/ABBP_DS100   2947678     152065
/BI0/ABBP_DS140   1723        76
/BI0/ABBP_DS150   0           1
/BI0/ABBP_INV00   3040014     141501
/BI0/ABBP_INV40   5400        280
/BI0/ABBP_INV50   0           1
Where blocksize is site specific, although typically 8K.

Use of virtual cube 0FIGL_V10 for reporting on Financal Statements

Dear all,
I am new to the GL reporting and I have a question about the usage of the virtual cube for reporting on Financial Statements.
On the content site I see that you can report your Balance Sheet based on the infocube 0FIGL_C10, where you can use the infoobject 0GLACCOUNT to display the balances.
I also installed the Virtual Cube 0FIGL_V10, which has the infoobject 0GLACCEXT to show the Financial Statement Item hierarchy.
My questions are:
- to create a Balance Sheet Report, is it advisable to use the content query 0FIGL_C10_Q001?
If I run that query now, it is showing the data on seperate G/L accounts, where I would like to see a hierarchy display.
For reporting on the capital expenditure however the requirement is that some G/L acoounts don't have to be taken into account. How can I exclude those then from the hierarchy for that report?
- to create the P&L, advice on the content site is to use the virtual cube because you have the Financial Statement Item hierarchy available there and you can report on specific financial statements.
Can anyone tell me the added value of using the Virtual Cube? Or can I skip it and just add the Financial Statement Item hierarchy in the 0FIGL_C10 cube and create a report where I select the nodes of the hierarchy that are only applicable for the P&L? Will that corrupt the figures or have any other effect?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Sundar,
As ravi said the VC can be used when we have leass number of users, basically in VC the structure will be available. And moreover when you generetae a report based on Multiprovider which is based on the VC then it will pick up the data directly from the source to which it has been connected..
Hope it helps..

How to get rid of No Value in Olap cube based SSRS report

hi there, I am trying to create a report based on SSAS cube. As you can see, some returns 0 while some does not return anything. This actually messed out the border style as well... Any idea on how to get rid of this?
thanks
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

Hi Cat_ca,
Are you using SQL Server Reporting Services 2000? Currently, we do not have SSRS 2000 test environment, and SQL Server 2000 was out of support since April 2013.
I have tested it on SSRS 2008 R2, everything works fine. It display nothing on the cell for the NULL value. Please refer to the screenshot below.
In your scenario, to avoid this issue you can use NonEmpty function in your query to remove the NULL values.
NonEmpty (MDX)
If I have anything misunderstand, please point it out.

How to use OLAP cubes in Crystal Reports R2?

Dear All,
I hope someone can help me with the following issue: We are trying to link Crystal Reports XI-R2 with an OLAP cube but the login keeps on failing while the same setup/connection works with Excel.
The OLAP cubes are created through SSAS 2008 and require a windows account for authentication. Because it works via Excel (through pivot table --> external data) the cubes are accessible and the username & password are correctly as well.
Through the OLAP wizard in Crystal Reports the following message is displayed: "The connection could not be established. The logon attempt failed".
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Please check the trouble shooting guide in this article: /people/reuben.cox/blog/2009/12/10/troubleshooting-olap-connectivity-in-business-objects-products
