Rolling12 MDX Issue

I have a script that seems to be part of what I want for a Rolling12
(SUM({LastPeriods(12-Count (PeriodsToDate ( [Time].LEVELS(0), [Time].CurrentMember ) , IncludeEmpty ), [Time].[Dec])}, [Year].[Prev Year]))
The problem is that the above script seems to work for Jan->Curr Year, but for Feb:Dec, it sums both months for the Curr Year and Prev Year values. So if I want to view a Rolling12 for Feb->Curr Year, I would expect to get Jan:Feb->Curr Year + Mar:Dec->Prev Year. But instead I get Jan->Curr Year + Feb:Dec -> Curr Year + Feb:Dec -> Prev Year. Any try to doing a rolling12 in MDX yet? Thanks for any information
My Outline is:
Year
-----Curr Year~
-----Prev Year~
Time
-----YearTotal
----------Qtr1+
---------------Jan+
---------------Feb+
---------------Mar+
Relative Time
-----Current+
-----YTD~(Formula: SUM(({PeriodsToDate(Time.Levels(2),Time.CurrentMember)})) )
-----QTD~(Formula: SUM((PeriodsToDate(Time.Levels(1),Time.CurrentMember))) )
-----SPPY~(Formula: Year.CurrentMember.Lag(-1)) )
-----Prior Period~(Formula: Time.Currentmember.Lag(1) )
-----Rolling12~
-----Rolling6~

I was able to figure this out...................thanks for any effort.

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.....

MDX Issues

Dear Fellow BWers,
I have been trying to create MDX statements and am at a fairly advanced stage with the queries that I have written, however if any of you can supply me with answers to the following question I would be most grateful:
1. Having looked at the usual suspects (help.sap.com, blogs, forums, etc. ) I have been unable to find comprehensive documentation on how to use Set Functions, Member Functions and Numerical Functions - is there any such documentation out there? I have tried using the documentation offered by MSDN however this seems different to the way SAP want you to use MDX.
2. Is there any program/transaction/BAPI (other than MDXTEST / MDDataSetBW / MDDataProvider BW) where MDX statements can be created off the back of existing BEx Queries? Is there anywhere we can see MDX queries being executed in the database? I have several queries which will each need to be created as individual MDX statements.
3. The specific problem that I am trying to solve is how to get the sum rows (as per results from BEx Query) to appear in my MDX statement. The furthest I have got is as follows:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[x] AS
     'AGGREGATE( {
       [Measures].[C8E071GV6C8ACC8HNJIAFQCZ7],
       [0CUSTOMER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS } )'
SELECT {
[Measures].[C8E071GV6C8ACC8HNJIAFQCZ7],
[Measures].[x] }
ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
CROSSJOIN
   { [0SALESORG].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS },
   { [0CUSTOMER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS }
} ON ROWS
FROM [CUBE/QUERY]
However in this case the x column does not yield any results.
Please advise on the next steps that I can take.
Thanks in Advance,
Saad.

MDX Issue?

Hi ,
We are trying to integrate BW 3.1 with Cognos 8 and run the bex queries on Cognos Framework.
Its been couple of days and we are getting this error. We tried running the query off of a cube, ODS, Infoset, Multicube but still the error persists.
But the queries off of another standard cube works fine.
The error is :
Table Dump: 'MNDTRY_PRPTYS'
    Axis        = 255
    Start Tuple = 0
    End Tuple   = 0
    Entries     = 5

    Requested row is outside of table range !
>>> Error: BAPI Interface exception occured
        Error code 1
    Message ID -1649386957
Can anyone please help me resolve this.
Apparently, it appears that the MDX gets executed but ignores the variable and that might be causing the table to go out of range as it returns 700 values. But this is purely my guess.
Thanks
~Sarah

Hai,
MDX is a language used to perform calculations and analysis around the OLAP structures. MDX includes a rich set of functions for 'performing' statistical analysis. Unlike SQL, MDX does not have DDL (Data Definition) and DML (Data Manipulation) capabilities. OLAP structures are defined and modified in XMLA (XML for Analytics). MDX is purely for analyzing and reading data.

APD is terminated - MDX issue?

Hi expets,
An APD fails with this error
System error in program CL_RSR_MDX_CMD and form GET_REQ_FROM_SET-01- (see long text)
Error while executing query in OLAP server; redesign query
Termination: Error when executing the query
APD worked fine up to now , no change in query or in APD itself were made.
Saved query with a different name, allocated it to APD - same result.
Query executed in BEx also works fine.
Didn't find any OSS notes matching the error.
SAP NetWeaver 2004s / SP SAPKW70021
Any help? Thanks in advance
Joe
Edited by: J.F.B. on Mar 23, 2010 2:43 PM

Hi Vasu,
Thanks for reply.
What's really confusing for me ist the fact that APD worked fine until a date X, and then produced an error, and
nobody knows about any change in system.
However, I only can enlcose the long text of error message, system does'nt porvide more information.
System error in program CL_RSR_MDX_CMD and form GET_REQ_FROM_SET-01- (see long text)
Message no. BRAIN299
Diagnosis
This internal error is an intended termination resulting from a program state that is not permitted.
Procedure
Analyze the situation and inform SAP.
If the termination occurred when you executed a query or Web template, or during interaction in the planning modeler, and if you can reproduce this termination, record a trace (transaction RSTT).
For more information about recording a trace, see the documentation for the trace tool environment as well as SAP Note 899572.
Meanwhile I opened a request to SAP OSS. Will post result when available and if helpful.
Best regards

MDX - ABAP program variable to select the required month

Dear all,
Please I would like to ask you about the following MDX issue.
We have run the following MDX in SAP R/3 using the OLAP BAPI with successful results:
SELECT
[Measures].MEMBERS ON AXIS(0) ,
NON EMPTY [0SALESORG].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
[0DISTR_CHAN].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
[0MATERIAL].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
properties member_name
ON AXIS(1)
FROM [EPSDC108/ZTD_EPSDC108_Q002]
We now want to select a specific calendar month for the data and generated the following MDX:
SELECT
[Measures].MEMBERS ON AXIS(0) ,
NON EMPTY [0SALESORG].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
[0DISTR_CHAN].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
[0MATERIAL].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
properties member_name
ON AXIS(1)
FROM [EPSDC108/ZTD_EPSDC108_Q002]
SAP VARIABLES [CALMONTH] INCLUDING <member>
We would like to know how we use an ABAP program variable to select the required month.
Thank you in advance for you reply
Regards
Ales

hello,
the syntax of the MDX should be:
SELECT
[Measures].MEMBERS ON AXIS(0) ,
NON EMPTY [0SALESORG].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
[0DISTR_CHAN].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
[0MATERIAL].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS
properties member_name
ON AXIS(1)
FROM [EPSDC108/ZTD_EPSDC108_Q002]
SAP VARIABLES [CALMONTH] INCLUDING [0CALMONTH].[200412]
CALMONTH is the Queryvariable!!
If you wanna use a ABAP veriable you have to concatenate the MDX statement in your ABAP.
Kind reg.

Query is allocating too large memory

I’m building an Analysis in OBIEE against an ASO cube and am seeing the following error:
Query is allocating too large memory ( > 4GB) and cannot be executed. Query allocation exceeds allocation limits
The report we’re trying to build is intended to show information from eight dimensions. However, when I try to add just a few of the dimensions we get the “Query is allocating too large memory” error. Even if I filter down the information so that I only have 1 or 2 rows in the Analysis I get the error. It seems like there is something wrong that is causing our queries to become so bloated. We're using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated.Hi,
This sounds like a known Bug 13331507 : RFA - DEBUGGING 'QUERY IS ALLOCATING TOO LARGE MEMORY ( > 4GB)' FROM ESSBASE.
Cause:
A filter has been added in several lines in the 'Data Filters' Tab of the 'Users Permissions' Screen in the Administration Tool (click on Manage and then Identity menu items). This caused the MDX Filter statement to be added several times to the MDX issues to the underlying Database, which in turn caused too much memory to be used in processing the request.

How to find out by MDX that the current users is member of a role - Default member issue

Hi,
just imagine you have a dimension with a few members (A, B, C...). I defined a role which gives some users only rights to "B". On the other hand the default member for the dimension is set to "A". Now users part of the role get an error
that the member "A" is not found. So while
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175626.aspx says the default member setting in the role "overrides" the overall default member this is not completely true because first the general default member is selected and after that the role
specific one.
So the solution might be that I explicitly define the default member in all roles. This might be possible but there is one issue: you can't define a role specific default member for users part of the adminstrator role. So all admins don't have a default
member which is quite some restriction for some users...
So the question is how to solve that problem. An idea would be that I use some MDX to determine the default member in the dimension based on the actual user's role membership. But how to do that? Or any better idea?
Thanks,
Thomas Pagel

Hi Thomas,
According to your description, you want to have a role-specific default member for different roles. Right?
In Analysis Services, when granting access to dimension, a connection will fail if a role restricts access to a default measure. As you mentioned, the best solution is specify a default member for each role. But for administrator role(full control),
it can't set the default member. All tabs except General and Membership are disabled. And the system can determines the default member of current user automatically. It's not supported to get the default member in MDX either.
However, SSAS has additive design for role security. So in this scenario, we just need to create another role for those members of administrator role and specify a default member for this role. SSAS will take that role-specific default member
for these users. And it will not effect the administration permission for them.
Reference:
Default members, MDX Scripts, Security, KPIs and Perspectives

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Filter issue in MDX query leaving some values empty!

Hi all,
In short: I have a report with multiple values such as name of shop, postal code etc. The parameters have no default value and act as "like". If someone enters "krant" he'll get all the shop names that contain "krant" in their
name etc.
Same goes for postal code, if someone enters 2550 he'll get all data for 2550. The problem although is that if a user start with postal code as parameters and leaves the shop name empty, the shop name is not shown in my report! The other way around it works,
when I enter shop name i'll get all shops + postal code in my report.
I know this is because POS name cannot be shown in report because it's left blank, but I want my MDX query to be able to give me the POS names even if I only enter postal code.
Can someone please please look at my query below? I need to add 4 more parameters this way later on too!
SELECT
[Measures].[Sales amount]
ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
Filter(
[Point of sale].[POS name].AllMembers,
InStr(
[Point of sale].[POS name].CurrentMember.MEMBER_CAPTION,
@PAR_POSName

Issue with MDX report in BI 4.1,SP2

Hello Experts,
We have quite a few MDX universe Bex query based reports functioning well in BI 4.0,SP2 environment. When i moved these reports to BI 4.0,SP5,Patch6 environment, they work fine. But when these reports are moved to a BI 4.1,SP2 environment, they show #UNAVAILABLE error for all the reports.
Screenshot from BI 4.0 SP2 environment:
Screenshot from BI 4.0 SP5,Patch 6 environment.
Screenshot from BI 4.1 Sp2 environment:
I'm assuming it is related to Webi Calculation server changes in BI 4.1 and something to do with change in Database delegation in BI 4.1.
Could you guys assist with the exact issue and the resolutions possible?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek

Hello Farzana,
I'm the BOBJ basis/admin as well as the developer and not sure what Basis changes you're talking about here. So can you please elaborate on which database to look into and analyze? Is it the bex query or CMS/Audit database or which one?Because when i use BICS connections i dont get these errors, i get some other errors which SAP has already commnunicated to be Bugs in 4.1,SP2. The same works when i change the universe measure to Sum or avg. and not keep as database delegated.
Can you please let me know the exact steps and in detail that you took to resolve this? FYI. Here are is another bugs in 4.1,SP2.
1. BICS #OUTOFRANGE ISSUE: OSS 547176.
2.#UNAVAILABLE Issue: OSS 1960238

MDX Generation Issues (using Evaluate) in OBIEE Analysis Report

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to use Evaluate function in MDX (on a OBIEE 11g Analysis report) to restrict the number of values that i am pulling from the Essbase cube. The MDX Evaluate syntax looks something like this
EVALUATE('TOPCOUNT(%1.members,100,([Dimension1],[Dimension2],[Dimension3],[Dimension4]))',"Accounts"."Gen10,Accounts")
EVALUATE('TOPCOUNT(%1.members,100,([Dimension1],[Dimension2],[Dimension3],[Dimension4]))',"Products"."Gen10,Products")
I am putting the above evaluate formula in the "selected columns" on the OBIEE Analysis report. So i am pulling accounts, products and the measure from the essbase cube.
However I am getting the following error when the analysis report is run
Query Status: Aggr Essbase Error: *Repeated dimension [Accounts] in MDX query*
Do we need any configuration changes/ settings on the RPD model to ensure we dont get this error?
Regards
Aby

Hi veeravalli,
Thank you for you reply. I got it.
However, any idea to solve the issue?
I tried to do it in RPD by case when,
e.g. Acutal Sales: case when scenario='Actual' then salesamount end
Budget Sales: case when scenario='Budget' then salesamount end
Actual/Budget%: (Actual Sales/Budget Sales) *100
So there is no error, Actual Sales and Budget Sales are correct, but Actual/Budget % shows nothing in report
Thanks.

Financial Reporting and Microsoft OLAP - issues with MDX

We have installed Oracle/Hyperion Financial Reporting 11 for a client. They are using a Microsoft Analysis Services 2000 'cube' as the data source. The cube has an Account Dimension with 9 levels in its hierarchy. We have found Financial Reporting truncates the MDX when querying Accounts at the lowest level (around 100 characters in the length of the MDX string) or when querying multiple account groups at a higher level (and displaying descendants). Does anyone have any workarounds or solutions? Is there a better way of doing things? Is there any documentaion on the limitations of using FR over MSOLAP? We have have built the cube with an Account No as the Short Name (Key) and the Account Description as the Name but FR insists on only displaying (and using in the MDX) the long Account Descriiption - whereas using Essabase you can drill down on the Member Names [Account No] but display the Alias [Account Name]

APD failure due to MDX Parser starting issue

Hello,
As part of BW on HANA migration, we have recently migrated Dev system to HANA database and during testing we have issue for one of the APD's
which when triggered failed with the below error messages: Error occurred when starting the parser:timeout during allocate / CPIC- CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' Syntax error in MDX statement Termination: Error when executing the query Processing was canceled And the RFC connection for MDX PARSER was also failing. Subsequently, basis implemented the SAP Note 1032461 - MDX parser does not start. Which resolved the issue with the RFC connection. However, the APD is still failing. The error message we get is as below for the same: Error occurred when starting the parser: Function RRTS_PARSE_MDX is not available Syntax error in MDX statement Termination: Error when executing the query Processing was canceled. Request your help on the same.
Most of the SDN forums on this topic advised on the SAP Note 1032461. However, despite implementing the same note our basis team couldn't succeed in resolving the issue. Thank you!

Hi Meduru Avinash,
As you rightly told, most of the time note 1032461 is referred to solve this issue.
Some where I have read that we need to refer 638701 also,
like adding gw/cpic_timeout in your system, if it is not available.

Unit display issue for MDX

Hi,
Following is the issue what I face.
I issue a MDX query against an infocube. There is a calculated measure in the MDX query whose calculation is in the MDX statement itself(e.g. sales value/sales quantity). The result shows the unit of the calculated measure as "EUR KG" rather than "EUR/KG".
If I issue the MDX query against the query built on the same cube(the calculation of the keyfigure is in the bex query this time and not in the MDX statement) I get the proper unit as EUR/KG.
Can anybody suggest how the units can properly be displayed when queried directly against the cube?
Thanks,
Anurag.
