Run Financial related dimension build ONLY

Hi all,
Can we only run Financials related dimension tasks to build dimensions for one Execution Plan first, and then run Financial - GL fact for another Execution Plan?
We try to seperate Dimension workflow workload from Facts. But don't know how to create such Execution Plans.
Any help will be great appreciated,
Regards,
Roger

Well, reloading your facts can do no harm. But when you reload a dimension, you don't have a link to the fact anymore. Because you are generating new row_wid's.
But if it is only for testing you can use the workflow manager of informatica to only run certain mappings.
before you can do this you must assign the integration service to all the mappings (it is an option somewhere in the menu of the informatica workflow manager)
and you have to copy the DAC parameter files to the informatica srcfiles directory
No you can run the mappings 1 by 1.
(this is a common way of working).

  • I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build.  The same call works fine when running on the device

    I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
    I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
    The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
    I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
    I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
    By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
    Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
    Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
    Thanks!

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • Essbase Studio Deployment Dimension Build Errors

    I have a ASO cube used to handle Subsidiary financial reporting to parent. Rather than alternate hierarchies, we use attribute dimensions for yearly differentiation. The ASO cube typically holds information for Current year + 3 prior years. This is the first year that we will achieve this as this cube was created near the beginning of 2010. Therefore, with the cube already having attribute dimension for 2010 & 2011, with the beginning of 2013 it is necessary to create the 2012 attribute dimensions. The cube has 13 anchor dimensions. Typically only 4 of these dimensions have attribute dimensions derived from them. Nonetheless, the following is the build list of the dimensions in the essbase model:
    1: Financials Standard, Dynamic, Sparse
    2: GL Date Time, Stored, Sparse
    3: Incident Date Standard, Stored, Sparse
    4: View Standard, Dynamic, Dense
    5: Company Standard, Multiple-hierarchy, Sparce
    6: Well location Standard, Stored, Sparse
    7: Depletion Code Standard, Stored, Sparse
    8: Vendor Standard, Stored, Sparse
    9: Entity Standard, Stored, Sparse
    10: Profit Center Standard, Stored, Sparse
    11: Curr Yr Cost Obj Standard, Stored, Sparse
    12: Past Yr Cost Obj Standard, Stored, Sparse
    13: Measures Accounts, Dynamic, Existing
    Attribute dimensions are mainly created in 4 of the Defined Hierarchies with in the cube; 1:FINANCIALS, 5:COMPANY, 6:WELL Location, & 10:PROFIT CENTER.
    According to the Essbase Server log, upon deployment, the FINANCIALS Hierarchy generates 19 Dimension Build rule files with the associated SQL to pull members from our SQL Dimension Build tables obviously based on the way the Hierarchy is built as well as the joins created in the MiniSchema in the referenced Data Source. The COMPANY Hierarchy generates 5 Dimension Build rule files, WELL LOCATION generates only 1 Dimension Build rule file (this is mainly due to the fact that all the attributes generated from WELL LOCATION are built from the same table), and PROFIT CENTER Generates 3 Dimension build rule files. At this point for comparison purposes I want to include excerpts from the Server Deployment Log file depicting the dimension build rule files generated from the PROFIT CENTER Hierarchy:
    Rule 1 Labeled XXXX_PRO.rul
    … FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center] cp_319 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 ON (cp_319.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
    Rule 2 Labeled XXXX_PR1.rul
    … FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2010] cp_275 ON (cp_275.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2010]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
    Rule 3 Labeled XXXX_PR2.rul
    FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2011] cp_276 ON (cp_276.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2011]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
    These Dimension Build rule files are recreated nightly on 4 different production servers, each one successfully redeploying nightly with zero errors.
    So now I need to add the new 2012 tables to the Data Source/MiniSchema, create the joins in the MiniSchema mimicking the joins for the 2010 & 2011 Attribute Dimensions. It would be difficult to demonstrate the joins in the MiniSchema but trust me they are there and this is proven by the additional Dimension Build rule files from the appropriate Hierarchies.
    So on our test server, which is configured exactly like all 4 of our production servers, I have begun the creation of the 2012 attribute dimensions. I begin with the FINANCIALS Hierarchy adding 7 new attribute dimensions, 6 that are cross table and one that is inter-table.
    At this point no changes have been made to any of the other 3 Hierarchies that contain Attribute dimensions; COMPANY, WELL LOCATION, or PROFIT CENTER. They still look exactly as they did in the current state discussed above. Upon deployment, the FINANCIALS Hierarchy generates , as expected 25 Dimension Build rule files, 6 additional because only 6 were cross table attributes, the 7th was within the anchor table and therefore would be included in the first dimension build rule file. COMPANY still generates 5 Dimension Build rule files, again as expected. WELL LOCATION still generates only the 1 Dimension rule file also as expected. Lastly, PROFIT CENTER also again only generates the 3 Dimension Rule files, however, one has materially changed as noted below:
    Rule 1 Labeled XXXX_PRO.rul
    …FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center] cp_319 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 ON ((cp_319.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code]) AND (cp_328.[profit_center_code]=cp_319.[profit_center_code])) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
    Rule 2 Labeled XXXX_PR1.rul (This one did not change)
    …FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2010] cp_275 ON (cp_275.[profit_center_code]=cp_328.[profit_center_code_2010]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
    Rule 3 Labeled XXXX_PR2.rul (This one did not change)
    …FROM [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_company_acct] cp_328 INNER JOIN [Essbase_XXXXX].[dbo].[vw_essbase_XXXXX_profit_center_2011] cp_276 ON (cp_328.[profit_center_code_2011]=cp_276.[profit_center_code]) ORDER BY cp_328.[profit_center_code] ASC, cp_328.[company_minor_acct] ASC`.
    The change in Rule 1 above appears to now require something different from the previous deployment and when we run the deployment now it runs forever and ultimately fails, yet no changes have been made to the Hierarchy, no changes have been made to the MiniSchema involving joins to the tables used in the building of the Hierarchy, and no new tables have been added to the data source that would affect this Hierarchy.
    Additionally, I have also run each of these incrementally, and the PROFIT CENTER even incrementally still makes the change to the SQL statement shown above.
    So finally, to my question, Why and What caused this Dimension Build Rule file to change and ultimately led to deployment failure? Has anyone ever encountered this in Essbase Studio Deployments?

    Gurus, anybody anything on this one??
    I haave done a small adjustment in the dimension order by which I have eliminated the following error:
    Record #40 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member xxxxxxxxx (3320)
    Record #40 - No time dimension defined
    But, I have the following new error/warning (cube build successfull in this case) when I made this adjustment:
    Record #427 - Error adding Attribute to member PATB4_ADJ-PDA (3320)
    The adjustment I made is... I moved TIME dimension up and ACCOUNT dimension below that...so the order I have now is TIME,ACCOUNT,SCENATRIO,XXX,XXXX instead of ACCOUNT,TIME,SCENARIO,XXX,XXXXX ..*would this create any performance issues?*

  • Essbase outline locked running Financial Report

    Ok, this is a wierd one. We have experienced the Essbase outline getting locked by the user running a Hyperion Financial Report using HFR 9.3.1.0 and Essbase 9.3.1.3.5. The user is an admin, however the outline should not get locked - should it?
    I searched for anything similar, but couldn't find anything and was wondering if anyone else has seen this?
    many thanks
    Rob Armstrong

    We walked through each step checking for a lock on the outline and was not able to reproduce at all. This is what I did and had the other user do again:
    1) make a new database connection - no lock
    2) made a copy and changed an existing report to use the new connection - no lock
    3) create a batch for the report - no lock
    4) schedule the batch, which the first time forces a login for workspace and essbase - no lock
    4) select a busrsting member list - no lock
    5) run the batch - no lock
    Also asked if anyone edited a report using the id and no one had. I also edited a report and tried several different modifications and could not force it to lock the outline.
    Still a mystery, this has happened before and we unlocked and moved on. Same today, the user was still in workspace (or might have been timed out) after submitting the reports earlier today and the outline was still locked after the reports completed.
    The only time the outline "should" be locked is when editing via EAS or dimension builds/restructures right? Things haven't changed much in the last 17 years of my using Essbase and this client does not do any fancy API or spreadsheet Add-in work.

  • Essbase 11.1.2 dimension build slow

    Hi All,
    I wonder if anyone has had similar problems or ideas of how to solve the problem I have.
    We've recently migrated to Essbase 11.1.2 running on some big SPARC 64 bit servers and everything is going well.
    We have a problem with dimension builds though. They work, just very slowly taking sometimes over a minute to build a dimension with just 10-20 members in it. With 22 dimensions to build it is taking over 20 minutes to build our dimensions - much more time then loading the gigabytes of data after and this is making the overnight process slower.
    The model was migrated from 11.1.1.2 and we converted the outline. The dimension builds on the old server were 4 minutes. The old rules files are still used but as a test I tried creating a new rules file in the same application to load the meta data from a text file instead of an Oracle SQL server but the same problem exists.
    We use deferred restructure on an ASO model but the restructure is fine - just the 'BuildDimFile' session runs for over a minute and then starts again for over a minute for the next dim build. Number of members seems to make no difference be it 10 or so to 60,000.
    Has anyone got any ideas why or seen similar? Or should I really move out of the dark ages and learn Essbase Studio!
    Thanks for your help,
    Dan

    It seems to be related to the number of dimensions.
    I tried creating a basic outline, two dimensions and loaded with a basic rules file. Took 8 seconds in total, no problem.
    I then tried copying in one of the existing rules files that builds a dimension with four members. Still no problem.
    I then went to the existing outline and deleted all but two dimensions and tried rebuilding with the rules file - it is still quick. I then added the dimensions back, by typing them, all as stored with no members underneath and it suddenly jumps to 40 seconds (of which 30 sec for the dimension build time, 10 sec for the restructure) using the same rules file and data. I'd expect the restructure time to go up, but not the build time.
    Possibly unrelated - EAS often produces an error message when loading an outline stating that I have -1536 MB memory free and the outline is 0 MB do I still wish to load?

  • No valid Dimension Build Fields

    Hi, could you guys give me a little help?
    I'm running a load rule that execute a select on a view. The load rule has 4 columns, and the outline also has 4 columns.
    Col1 - Pointer
    Col2 - Pointer
    Col3 - Pointer
    Col4 - Data Field
    I execute the load rule and the same returns the error "No valid Dimension Build Fields" at error file.
    What could be happenning for Essbase return that error?
    Thanks in advanced.

    You mean Field Properties screen?
    If yes, I checked each column for their equal at Data Load Properties tab.
    And marking "Data field" at Data Load Properties tab for the column that have all the variables.
    I don't know if it make any difference, I copied this load rule from another application. Both applications have the same outline. The only difference is that the select commands are in other tables.
    App1
    Rul1 -> select on table1
    App2
    Rul(the one I'm having problem) -> select on table2
    Another detail, I'm running the load rule with "Update outline" at "Outline" menu in the "File bar".

  • How to use Dimension Build to change member property?

    Hello,
    I have researched online on how to do this and I think i have an understanding but I cannot get it to work. My dimension build rules file is of type Parent Child. The fields are Parent, Child, Alias. I am looking to add a Property field to change the consolidation property to - for one member. I have checked off all the options required and tried several different ways but always come with the following error on that line.
    \\Record #95 - Child Member - with no parent (3331)
    P&L - ACC OPERATING Operating Expenses -
    order is:
    Parent Child Alias Property
    What i want to do is assign the - subtraction for consolidation on the OPERATING member. Can this be done with the Parent Child type dimension build? Could this be achieved automatically in another way?
    Thanks
    Alex

    Hey guys, thanks for the tips. The source file is tab delimited. I made sure there was a tab between Operating Expenses and the - for subtractions.  The lines look like so.
    REV_PROJ PS100001 - ACC PS100001 - ACC_PS-M9 Revenue Settlement
    REV_PROJ SC100000 - ACC SC100000 - ACC_SCS Revenue Settlement
    P&L - ACC OPERATING Operating Expenses -
    OPERATING LABOR Labour
    LABOR PAYROLL Payroll related
    I know they don't show the tab but it's there. I have the field set to Property for Account_Desc (Dimension im updating in the outline) with a value of 0. I have also checked off "Delete when the field is empty" as to not change the consolidation on the other lines. i guess i need to figure out why it's treating the final "-" as a member and not as a part of the same line holding it's property. Is there a EOL delimiter i should be setting?
    thanks again

    I think you can achieve this as follows:
    set up a new parameter, say P_FIELD, with initial value of empname
    in your data model have an sql something like
    Select

    pass the column name to P_FIELD and the report will return that column

  • AUR helper with download/build only option ?

    Hi,
    Currently I have a cron job that does this:
    pacman -Syuw --noconfirm
    This downloads all packages and put it in the cache in the background, this way when a run an upgrade I just have to validate.
    I would like to have the same for AUR packages. Is anyone aware of a AUR helper with a "download+build" only option ?

    pacaur (which uses cower) supports a -d flag to download only, and a -m flag to download and build. The -d flag will pull down dependencies. I'm quite happy with pacaur+cower as a day to day solution, $0.02.
    EDIT: sorry I meant the -m flag pulls down deps -- to do it with the -d flag you have to specify it twice. </bourbon>

  • Value based hierarchies and Period dimension should only contain  2  monthl

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what is value based hierarchies. And also can anyone let me know to filter the records in AWm because in Period dimension should only contain 2 monthly values (Oct. 2008 ( 200810) and Sep. 2008 ( 200809)) it is urgent.
    Thanks
    vel

    The following definition of a value hierarchy comes from the OLAP Developers guide
    "A hierarchy defined only by the parent-child relationships among dimension members. The dimension members at a particular distance from the base level do not form a meaningful group for analysis, so the levels are not named. For example, an employee dimension might have a parent-child relation that identifies each employee's supervisor. However, levels that group together first-, second-, and third-level supervisors and so forth may not be meaningful for analysis."
    Typically this means that the source table has two columns, VALUE and PARENT, where PARENT has a (logical) foreign key relationship to VALUE. An example may be EMPLOYEE, MANAGER, where MANAGERs are also EMPLOYEEs.
    The simplest way to restrict the values loaded into the AW is to define a SQL view over the source table with an appropriate WHERE condition. You then use AWM to map the dimension to your new view. E.g.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW RESTRICTED_TIME AS
    SELECT *
    FROM TIME
    WHERE MONTH IN (200810, 200809)
