Sample.basic on laptop?

I am new to essbase and every book I have on the subject references sample.basic. Is it advisable to install this on my laptop, or would it be too burdensome?

It might be that your laptop is not high enough spec or is not running a supported OS, anyway if you want to install Essbase and have no experience in installing EPM products then it might be worth checking out the rapid deployment guide - Rapid Deployment

Retrieving sample basic using Excel add in

Hi I am having problems accessing the sample basic database using excel, I see the sample basic in Application/Database and I get an error which states that "Unable to load database[Basic]". I get this error for all the the sample databases. The system administrator said the databases were installed with the essbase, but I still can't retrieve them. Anyone has any suggestions as to why this may be occurring.Thanks,

It's not a problem with the Add-In.The database was not Installed correctly. You need to rebuild the Sample Basic application. Can you check to see if all the DB files were installed.Look in the C:\essbase\app\Sample\Basic directory you should see these files, or atleast the outline.Basic.otlBasic.indBasic.esmBasic.tctEss000001.INDEss000001.PAGDo you know how to do this? If you want e-mail me and I'll walk you through it.Regards,Corey BidmeadClarity [email protected]

Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use

Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use,not charging . No green or orange light coming on on the new charger either.

It is one of the items that Apple gets criticized at regular intervals. The MagSafe connector is proprietary and unlicensable, so the company has a lock-in on the power options. And as you have now found out, your hijinks trying to avoid buying an expensive new charger may have caused more damage and led to a total no-charge condition.
If lucky and no physical damage has occurred (there IS a fuse in there somewhere on the circuit boards), maybe resetting the SMC can restore charge functionality, provided there is still enough juice: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Simple Qustion: No data shown in the retrieval of Sample.Basic database

Hi All,
I'm a very beginner to Essbase, I'm getting started with essbase add-in tutorial, when I retrieve the data from Sample.Basic, it only returned the dimension names, there is no data in the intersections, it show #Missing in the cells, the tutorial shows there are data in the sample.basic database, why am I not able to get it displayed?, thank you so much
the following is how it displayed after I retrieved the sample.basic:
Measures Product Market Scenario
Year #Missing
Maybe I did not configure the option items correctly?
Best Regards.

Just a comment about my nemesis' note:
You need to load data and potentially calculate it (I know Cameron you don't but it does not hurt).^^^The reason you don't need to calculate the data is because CALCDAT.txt already contains the consolidated results. Glenn is correct in saying that calculation doesn't hurt, but there's really no point.
FWIW, the reason there's no point is because CALCDAT.txt is a full export of Sample.Basic, that is, every valued data point is contained within the data file. Thus, when calculation occurs it just overwrites the data values that were already loaded.
As we are talking about a second or so to do the calculation, this matters not a whit, but I thought it might be instructive when you finally get to a real database. Full exports, when loaded back into an empty Essbase database, do not need to be recalculated.

Essbase sample basic

<p>can we write a calc script for Sample Basic that limits everynumber in the database to two decimal places.</p>

As an enhancement to the cube you could add a new dimension (call it "View"). Make it Dense with one stored member called input. Then add a dynamic calc member called "Round" and set the formula to round the values stored in the input member. This will let your users and/or source systems continue to load as usual (load to "Input" member), and for reporting you will have the rounded numbers. Since it's dynamic calc, there is no need for an additional consolidation, it will run on the fly. Lastly, since you made it a dense dimension with only one stored member, you do not increase your block size and your overall performance should not be impacted by the change.

Error loading Sample Basic in Essbase

Hi,
Has anyone had this issue? I tried to load the data for Sample Basic DB in Essbase in a Windows Vista 32 pc and got this error msg:
Database Basic loaded
Database East loaded
Database Xchgrate loaded
Database Interntl loaded
Unable to Connect to Database [East]
What does the last line mean and how do I fix it? I didn't encounter this when I was running it on a different machine (XP). All I've done was run the Calcdat.txt file after choosing load data for Sample db on server. Thx.

Hi,
First of all Vista/XP both are not supported OS for Essbase server; though XP may work fine but for better results we stick with only Win 2000/Win 2003.
Else you can continue with XP and if you have same issue with XP then please post it we will together solve it.
Thanks

I need sample basic data file containing Product,Market,Measures etc

I need sample basic data file containing Product,Market,Measures etc to load data in to Sample Basic applications. Where can I get this?

As I am the World Domain Lead for Sample.Basic (this is a joke, btw, it's sort of like being King of my front stoop, and besides, I just made it up) I will note two things about CALCDAT.TXT.
1) It is not in columnar format, but instead in Essbase free-form data load format as user2571802 notes. This means if you take a look at it with a text editor, it's a bit confusing to read till you realize that it contains all dimensional information in the data file itself. See the DBAG's section on [Data Sources That Do Not Need A Rules File|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_dbag/ddlintro.htm#ddlintro1029529].
2) CALCDAT.TXT contains level 0 and calculated results. Just load it -- there's no need to calculate it.

Sample Basic Database

Hello everybody,
I am new to Essbase and learning to use it for financial analysis. I need to retrieve data from the sample basic database, but when i do so, it shows missing values. Any idea as to what can be done in this case.....please help ! I tried supressing the missing values and now it shows errors. :-((

You have to go into EAS and load data for the database. The filename to load for Sample Basic is 'calcdata.txt' and you do not need a load rule for this file. I always do a calc on the database after the load is complete; in this case, the calc may be optional as I think the calc'ed values may already be in the load file..

How to recreate sample basic

Hi
We deleted sample basic after we installed Essbase (11.1.1.3). Now some users want to have sample basic available to practice. Do anyone know how to recreate sample basic in Essbase?
Thanks

opening the zip file it looks like all of the files are there. So from EAS create the Sample application (BSO non unicode) and then create the database Basic. Stop the application then copy all of the files in the zip into the basic directory on the server (pathing may vary based on what version you are using) but there should be an app\sample\basic directory. Then start the app and you should be good to go

Sample basic program 4 dialog programming

hi
can any one send me the sample code 4 simple dialog programming....

Hi Sandy,
Simple Dialog Programming:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

LOOP.
MODULE STATUS_0120.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP.
MODULE STATUS_0110.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
ENDLOOP.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE REFRESH_0250.
LOOP.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0120.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0110.
ENDLOOP.
For example, if the user enter the Delete Screen, you will make all the Fields non-Editable.

MODULE 0250_STATUS OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'Z250'.
SET TITLEBAR 'Z250'.

Some telephone numbers only stay visible for a second or two, refreshing the screen brings them back but again for a second ie too short to note down. How can I stop this (use Vista Basic on laptop)?

When searching for numbers on a business website quite often, though not always, the telephone number only appears very briefly. Copying the web address on to Internet Explorer the number stays visible. Only happens on telephone numbers not for any other info eg email address.
Have no idea why this happens as it appears to be random though it must relate to how a website is viewed. Wouldn't where to start to fix this!

Photoshop CS2 redraw garbage when moving around an image window on my G4 laptop

Hi.I recently had to reinstall Photoshop CS2 onto my Mac Laptop 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, running system 10.4.11, which required a new hard drive after the old one died. I am immediatly encountering a serious redraw/image repositioning problem in Photoshop that I have never seen before, and in Imageready as well. This does not happen in Macromedia Fireworks 8 however.
I am zoomed into an image. Using the hand tool, or the scroll bars or the arrows, as soon as I move an image little messed up line graphic glitches appear and stay in place for the remainder or working with an image, and ultimately covers the image completely after moving around within it a number of times. you can see examples of this in these screenshots I've uploaded:

http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage03.gif
http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage02.gif
and the lines stay the same size and position even when zooming in. here's the same image w/ the same defects zoomed out and in:
http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage01.gif
http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage01_zoomed.gif
I've tried trashing & re-installing photoshop completely, tried running it before the updates needed from the original Photoshop application disk, and after. still the same problem.
This occurs only when using the laptop on its own. When I hook it up to my Apple Studio Cinema Display, it works fine. The problem does not occur on the Cinema Display OR the laptop screen! it's very odd. Basically, the laptop is now something I cannot actually use away from my desk until this is resolved.
Has anyone ever encountered this or possibly have any suggestions or advice? Thanks so much!

Hi. Thanks for your responses. There is definitely some incorrectness in the info I provided about the computer. for the Hard Drive, it's odd.. I copied and pasted that from my system profiler.. In actuality the Hard Drive is 74.53 GB. Not sure how that error occurred.
Also I looked again at the computer's memory. I forgot the second larger 1GB memory card when I was copying and pasting from the system profiler. Sorry about that. I was in a but of a rush to get the question out.

Another thing I noticed about the problem I'm facing is that it leaves defects from mouse trails as well in the image window. None of the defects are lasting nor will they print. I close the file and they go away, if I zoom, they stay the same size. I'd agree, it sounds like a video card problem, but the reason I posted here is that only in photoshop and imageready do these problems occur. My guess, if it's the video card is that they are just programs that require more of the system. why my video card would be crapping out now, I have no idea. but I guess that's how it goes.
But why would it work fine when hooked up to the apple cinema display? even on the laptop screen itself the problem is not present. only when the laptop is on its own.
The computer has served me very well for almost 3 years without this problem, so that's why it's something that is not a normal problem that should be expected from this computer. I am grateful to have it & can't afford a new one.. this one is still sitting on my credit card balance. Thankfully I am under the applecare protection plan and will bring it in to the local Mac shop on monday and demonstrate the issue to them.
Thanks for your replies.
