Shared Members Alias Names Need to be Deleted--Essabase Admin Console

The company I work for set up shared members with alias names. I need to get rid of the alias names so that they are linked to their proper stored members and take on those names. How do I do this without haveing to go to every contton-picking shared member and delete the alias name?
Thanks!

Thanks!And since you mention in the subject line 'essbase admin console', what does any of this have to do with oracle databases?

  • Shared Members Alias

    Hello,
    I am facing problems while creating / removing aliases of shared members in Essbase outline.
    1) What is the best possible way to create aliases for shared members (already present in the outline not new ones) ?
    2) What is the best possible way to remove aliases for exisitng shared members in the outline ?
    Any leads greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Neetesh

    Hi.
    The Easiest Way of Doing it is by Parent-Child References..
    COnstruct a Data File using Parent child Reference and then Add a Third Column in which you provide Alias name.
    In the Field Property of Third Column make is as Alias and tag it to proper dimension and in Dimension build Setting go to Dimension Build tab and check "Allow property changes".
    In case of Removing Alias just create Another Column in Rule File And Leave it Blank
    Then in its Field Propety Check "Delete When Field is Empty".

  • System host name is not recognized in weblogic admin console.

    I have a windows 2008 r2 server 64bit on which I installed weblogic 10.3.3, IDM 11g and IAM 11g
    Computer name XYZ_123
    Full computer name XYZ_123.us.oracle.com
    I tried to create a new domain with the IDM config file in oracle_home\bin
    I am having issue opening the admin console when I use both
    http:\\conputername:7001\console
    http:\\Fullcomputername:7001\console
    Its loading the login page, but when i provide the credentials, it just stays on the same page.
    but works fine when i specify
    http:\\localhost:7001\console
    I have mapped my computer name in the hosts file too.

    Hi,
    You can achieve your requirement using the following steps
    =======
    Option-1
    =======
    1. Start you weblogic server.
    2. Open the console using http://localhost:7001/console
    3. Go to the path: Servers -> AdminServer -> Configuration [tab] -> General [sub-tab]
    4. In "Listen Address:" give your machine name like
    Listen Address: conputername
    5. Save the changes and restart the server.
    =======
    Option-2
    =======
    1. You can also change it directly from the "config.xml" Path: BEA_HOME/user_projects/domains/Domain_7001/config
    2. Search for "<name>AdminServer</name>" in "config.xml"
    3. In "listen-address" element (which might be empty at this time) give your machine name like (First take a back-up of config.xml)
    <server>
    <name>AdminServer</name>
    <listen-port>7001</listen-port>
    <listen-address>conputername</listen-address>
    </server>
    4. Save the changes and start the server.
    Now you can access the console using (http://conputername:7001/console)
    NOTE: "conputername" should be given in your etc/hosts file OR your IP address should be mapped with the "conputername" which your machine name.

  • How to sort the members by alias names

    I am trying to create dimension build rule whicl will sort the dimension members in an ascending order, but it has to be based on the alias name instead of the member name.
    I have tried both Parent-CHild and Generation reference but it doesn't work.
    For example
    for the city members PSE ( alias name Purchase), and USALB ( alias Albany) needs to be sorted by alias names
    the current order is
    PSE(Purchase)
    USALB(albany)
    but the requirement is to be
    USALB( Albany)
    PSE(Purchase)

    Even with presorting the input, you still have work to do. By default, Essbase will add new members to the bottom of the list of membrers, it does not insert them into an existing hierarchy in the right places. If your trying to update existing hierarchies and are going the SQL route, you will need two rules (or 1 rule and a flat file). You also need to specify remove unspecified as part of the dimension build process.
    HAve a dummy input (either sql or file) that gets loaded the first time. IT will basically wipe out all the members of the dimension, then your second rule (or same rule calling your SQL) can reload the dimension sorted in alias order.
    IT is important that these two rules be done together (either in MaxL using comasin a single statement) or in a BSO cube in the outline before the outline is saved. Otherwise you will have deleted any data that existed in the database. It would be impartant that your SQL also pulls all members (including any special members)

    You say you are going to change the stored procedure. That is not necessary, you could put an order by clause in your sql extract statement

  • ODI - Delete Shared Members?

    Hello,
    I load a node in a Planning dimension with Shared Members using an ODI Interface. We have a need to remove all of these Shared Members before we perform the load. Is it then possible to remove all Shared Members from specific locations using ODI? I know that we can run the Delete Shared Members utility from the server where Planning is installed, but that is not possible for admin users who do not have admin rights to the server. Version 11.1.1.2, ODI version 10.1.3.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    John,
    Thanks for the reply. The dimension is in a Planning Application/database. I have a parent/child/Alias txt file that I used to load the dimension node with. Are you saying that it is possible to create an ODI interface that can "Delete Level 0" members? Below is a sample of the dimension via planning/dimensions. In this example, I would want to remove all members under the "COGS" node....or all "Shared Members". Below is also a sample of the file used to load the Shared Members.
    Thanks again,
    Steve

  • Delete shared members (lots of them)

    Hi!
    We have a account hierarchy with lots of members. At the end of the account dimension we have a lot of shared members, which are located as direct children of Account dimension. In Planning web we can delete those member by member, but it is a time consuming exercise.
    Is it possible (and safe) to delete those at this point unnecessary shared membes in Essbase admin console? We would then load a new P&L hierarchy (using shared members) into Planning using HAL (our version is 9.3.1. and we are using classic administration)
    Kind regards

    It is best to remove via HAL or some tool that allows communication with the SQL repository. Best to try to keep essbase and planning in sync........hope this helps.

  • Need help in Shared Members

    Hi All,
    Could you please help me how to assign the Shared members for bottom level members in a dimension using rule files. will Allow moves and Allow property changes will this help us in assign shared members for bottom level members ?
    Thanks,
    Raj.

    Could anybody please help me out in building out shared members in an outline where *"Duplicate Member names allowed"* is set to true ?
    As an example, Suppose I've the below hierarchy:
    DIM_I
    - Parent-I
    - Child-I
    - Child-II
    - Child-III
    - Parent-II
    - Child-IV
    - Child-II (Shared Member)
    In the above example, as is obvious, I'd like to share the member Child-II of Parent-I with its clone in Parent-II.. Please note that this outline has some other dimensions wherein duplicate members are required but not as shared ones.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Sorting by Member's Alias name during dimension build

    I dynamically build/update an Employee dimension each month. I want to sort the members by their alias name, which in this case is the employee name. Has anyone done this before? The data file which I'm using to build the outline is already sort by employee name. The problem I have is each month when I do an update build, all the new members drop to the bottom. The option in the load rule definition to sort members is no good because that sorts the member by their ID and not by their Alias.Thanks for helping!!Peter

    The best method is to clear all the members of the dimension and rebuild the entire dimension from scratch.This can be done manually through the Outline editor from the Essbase Applicaiton Manager or using an Incremental Build Dim from Esscmd or Maxl.Using Esscmd you it would be easiest to have a dummy build file with a single member and process that file first then process the real file. Use the remove unspecified option and set sorting to none. Regardless of method do NOT restructure the data between deleting all the old members and processing the updated file.If you restructure between these steps you will need to reload all data.Joseph HoganSenior Essbase Lead ConsultantHyperion Solutions203.703.3300 x6364

  • Sort by Alias name in Webform

    Hi All,
    Greetings!!!
    I have defined employee dimension as row in Webform and display property as "Alias". Now the requirement is, I need to display the employees based on sort by their alias names.
    Thank you so much for your kind help
    Regards,
    tvmk

    I am sure others will also share their opinions, but I think this can be done thru updating your metadata upload process. Let say you get your Employee list from PeopleSoft and update your employee dimension by using one of the ETL tools (ODI, outline load utility, HAL, etc). I am not an ETL expert, but I have seen this before where the sorting would take place in the ETL process, so the members are loaded to your application in ascending order. Makes sense?

  • Drill down on shared members.

    Hi ,
    I have some filters associated to geography hierarchy in my essbase cube.
    my geography heirarchy looks like this.
    geography
    |_base_members
    |_am
    |_Apac
    |_shared_members
    |_am (Alias: America) (shared members)
    |_ ..etc
    |_Apac (Alias: Asia pac) (shared members)
    now i have created filters giving meta read access on shared members in the above case on .users of america will only see america region.
    but when i drill down and drill up on the member in the report in web analysis, it gives me an unknown member error "am".
    i tried by giving same access to the base members but the report shows the base members.
    is there any other way to handle this error.
    thanks.

    Try deleting Non-Corporate Income before you drill into Total Revenue. Or turn off Retain selected member in your drill options. The problem is that if Essbase sees Non-Corporate Income, then it knows it is the alternate roll up and correctly does not drill on Total Revenue. Remove Non-Corporate Income and Total Revenue, just becomes plain old Total Revenue and you should be able to drill on that.

  • Shared members issue

    Hi to all,
    I've a Problem with the shared members in a excel spreadsheet. I need to see all members in a specific dimension (shared members included). using members selection dialog box, i'm using the view method "by generation name" and the output option Supress shared members (cleared) but the shared members are filtered in the results. Using by level name is the same result.
    could you help me?
    I'm usign essbase 9.0 and add in vs 9.0
    Thanks in advance

    Certainly sounds odd... did you check the preview to see if they show up there?
    I'm just thinking it might be a post processing issue, because I haven't heard of this being an issue before so if it is there may be some option setting that is tripping it up.
    Let us know if they show up in the preview -- and if you have a suitable way to test other outlines or dimensions with similar circumstances it might help to check the preview on them as well.

  • Add shared members to interfaces tables

    Hi guys
    I need to load shared members to a generic dimension using interface tables?
    How can I do it?
    Regards

    Hi John
    Thanks for your help. I can add shared member to the generic dimension called PCM_Prod, however I am getting the following issue
    at validate one application that I used:
    Error : Last generation 2 member of dimension PCM_Prod is Total Productos.  Expected member name "NoMember".
    Error : Dimension 'PCM_Prod' does not support shared members because the dimension hierarchy type is set to 'Stored'.  Member:  '3032182'.
    Error : Shared member '3032182' cannot exist under generation 2 ancestor member 'Total Productos' in dimension 'PCM_Prod' because it does not belong to a StoreData hierarchy.  Either set the dimension-level Hierarchy Type property to 'StoreData', or else set the Hierarchy Type property of generation 2 ancestor  of this member to 'StoreData'
    If I upload using ADS  I did not get the issue.
    So I do not why using interface tables I got the error.

  • Moving shared members in EIS

    I have two alternate hierachies in the customer dimensions with shared members on STORE at Level 0. And I need to perform incremental outline update and data load on the nightly basis using EIS. What happened is if a store is moved to a different parent, EIS can only added the store into the new parent, without deleting the older one, i.e. EIS can't move shared member to new parents. Thus causes us a wrong calculation. Does anyone have a technique or tips to move members on shared alternate hierarchy in EIS?Thanks.Sam

    You have the option of "Deleting the Members First" when you run a Member Load.Only the outline is affected, the data itself remains unaffected until you run a calc. Then it will roll up properly.Good Luck,Tim
