SQL interface on linux 64

I am trying to setup the sql interface on a linux 64 box, using essbase 11.1.2
I have added a data source.
followed the instructions in the SQl interface guide
Open the $EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ODBC/Merant/x.x/odbc.ini file and add a data
source description.
Copy the $EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ODBC/Merant/x.x/odbc.ini to
$ESSBASEPATH/bin/.odbc.ini.
Create a symbolic link to the $ESSBASEPATH/bin/.odbc.ini from the UNIX user home directory:
ln -s $EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ODBC/Merant/x.x/odbc.ini /home/myfolder/.odbc.ini
Verify that the odbc.ini file in the user home directory matches the odbc.ini file in
$EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/ODBC/Merant/x.x.
stopped and restarted the admin server.
In the admin console I then tried to create a rules file and i opened the SQL Data sources.
But the data source which i had defined in the odbc.ini does not appear in the SQL data sources list.
I have double checked my steps with no success have i missed some aspect of configuration
has anyone else had this experience.

Hi there,
Came across this searching for a similar problem but we managed to fix this by
1. Updating our odbc.ini file to the correct information
2. Creating symbolic links on the essbase server:
ln -s /ess/oracle/EPMSystem11R1/common/ODBC-64/Merant/6.0/odbc.ini /ess/oracle/EPMSystem11R1/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer/bin/.odbc.ini
ln -s /ess/oracle/EPMSystem11R1/common/ODBC-64/Merant/6.0/odbc.ini /export/home/bismart/.odbc.ini
ln -s /ess/oracle/EPMSystem11R1/common/ODBC-64/Merant/6.0/odbc.ini /ess/oracle/user_projects/epmsystem1/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/bin/.odbc.ini
3. Restart all services
Some of that may not strictly be necessary but we've managed to get it working and have a drop down in EAS now.
Note that our install was done to /ess/oracle and our user is bismart with home directory /export/home/bismart/ - yours will be different so substitute with the correct path.
It may be unrelated because we're actually on Solaris 64 but best of luck
Cheers,

Problems getting ODBC SQL Interface to work for Essbase 11.1.1.3

Hi folks.
We're running Essbase 11.1.1.3 on Linux (32 bit) and I want to use the ODBC SQL Interface to load fact data.
We have run the SQL Interface install .sh script successfully, then restarted the Essbase agent, and have modified the ODBC.ini file to use the Oracle Wire Protocol driver.
I enter the SQL query in the rule Data Prep Editor in EAS (File | Open SQL) and when I hit "OK/Retrieve" I get the error "Failed to Establish Connection with SQL Database Server."
The application log file says:
ODBC Layer Error: [S1000] ==> [[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver]TNS-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified]

Have you followed the info here :- How to define a relational data source in (odbc.ini) V11 Essbase?
You don't need to run Inst-SQL.sh

Cannot Open SQL from Data Prep Editor (SQL Interface)

Hi,
When I Open SQL in Data Prep Editor: "There are no data sources defined. Please create one to continue."
I create a ODBC connections using the drivers bellow and I obtain always the same message ("There are no data sources defined.."):
Oracle in OraDb10g_home2
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT Oracle
I have installed and configured Essbase, release 11.1.1.2
Is posible that the SQL interface is not installed and configured with the Essbase Server?
How I can install and configure the SQL Interface? I need to do somethink else?
Thanks!
Assia

Through EAS select the server and right click and select properties. then go to the environment tab(I think) it should show everything you are licensed for. If this is a System 9 or higher, you should have it automatically. If it is 7X or below,then yoes it has to be licensed

Issue with Essbase - SQL Interface in UNIX box

Hi All,
One of our customer is facing an issue while trying to connect to the Oracle datasource from Essbase version 9.0.1.0.00 in a 64 bit UNIX box. He is using Oracle wired protocol for SQL interface.
Customer has tried the below and getting the below error:
1) Ran the nst-sql.sh file.
2) Edited the odbc.ini file and the .profile file with the required dsn information.
3) From the console selected the open SQL option and received the following error " There are no datasources defined. Please create one to continue"
I have attached the odbc.ini file and the .profile file for your reference.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Bharathi Raja

The essbase user needs to be restarted to be able to see the new odbc.ini entries.
After editing the files you mentioned, did you restart the essbase services?
At the very least, did you exit EAS, then restart EAS? (I don't remember which one of these will do it.) If your entries are correct, then one of these should get the essbase user to 'see' the odbc connection.
Also, it might help to remove extraneous entries in the .odbc.ini file, kind of difficult to read thru all of that.

Up and down arrow keys are not working properly when using SQL CLI on Linux

Every time I hit up, down, left, and right arrow keys to return to a previous sql command I got ^[[D, please any hints to fix this issue?
The backspace works fine with me. I tried to use stty to fix this issue with no luck.
Thanks
Mohamed

Which SQL client and Linux version are we talking about?
Assuming you are using the Oracle sqlplus client... it does not support command line editing and history using the arrow keys. For this to work you will have to install a product called Readline Wrapper. See my answer at the General Database forum:
sqlplus command line editing

Dynamic Dimesion Building using SQL Interface

I am attempting to use SQL Interface in Essbase 6.5 to dynamically build the account dimension from a PeopleSoft tree. The view works fine in SQL worksheet, but the last UNION statement does not work using the SQL interface. Here is the SQL that is generated: [SELECT * FROM ps_n_pre_acc_vw WHERE 1 = 1 order by 6,4,5,3] is generated. Here is the view:SELECT B.TREE_NODE AS PARENT , A.TREE_NODE AS CHILD , (A.TREE_NODE||' : '||C.DESCR) , b.tree_node_num AS num , a.tree_node_num AS c_tree_node_num , 'A' AS ord FROM SYSADM.PSTREENODE A , SYSADM.PSTREENODE B , SYSADM.PS_TREE_NODE_TBL C WHERE A.TREE_NAME = 'PRE_CUBE' AND A.SETID = 'NW' AND A.EFFDT = ( SELECT MAX(EFFDT) FROM PSTREELEAF WHERE TREE_NAME = 'PRE_CUBE') AND A.TREE_NAME = B.TREE_NAME AND A.SETID = B.SETID AND A.EFFDT = B.EFFDT AND A.PARENT_NODE_NUM = B.TREE_NODE_NUM AND A.TREE_NODE = C.TREE_NODE AND A.SETID = C.SETID AND C.EFF_STATUS = 'A' AND C.EFFDT = ( SELECT MAX(EFFDT) FROM SYSADM.PS_TREE_NODE_TBL X WHERE C.TREE_NODE = X.TREE_NODE AND C.SETID = X.SETID) UNION SELECT B.TREE_NODE AS PARENT , (A.RANGE_FROM||' : '||DESCR) AS child , A.RANGE_FROM , b.tree_node_num AS num , a.tree_node_num AS c_tree_node_num , 'B' AS ord FROM SYSADM.PSTREELEAF A , SYSADM.PSTREENODE B , SYSADM.PS_GL_ACCOUNT_TBL C WHERE A.TREE_NAME = 'PRE_CUBE' AND A.SETID = 'NW' AND A.EFFDT = ( SELECT MAX(EFFDT) FROM PSTREELEAF WHERE TREE_NAME = 'PRE_CUBE') AND A.TREE_NAME = B.TREE_NAME AND A.EFFDT = B.EFFDT AND A.SETID = B.SETID AND A.TREE_NODE_NUM = B.TREE_NODE_NUM AND C.SETID = A.SETID AND A.RANGE_FROM = C.ACCOUNT AND C.EFFDT = ( SELECT MAX(EFFDT) FROM SYSADM.PS_GL_ACCOUNT_TBL X WHERE C.ACCOUNT = X.ACCOUNT AND c.setid = x.setid) UNION SELECT B.TREE_NODE AS PARENT , (D.ACCOUNT||' : '||DESCR) AS child , D.ACCOUNT , b.tree_node_num AS num , a.tree_node_num AS c_tree_node_num , 'B' AS ord FROM pstreeleaf a , pstreenode b , PS_GL_ACCOUNT_TBL D WHERE a.tree_name = 'PRE_CUBE' AND a.effdt = '01-JAN-2001' AND A.SETID = 'NW' AND A.RANGE_FROM <> A.RANGE_TO AND A.TREE_NAME = B.TREE_NAME AND A.SETID = B.SETID AND A.EFFDT = B.EFFDT AND A.TREE_NODE_NUM = B.TREE_NODE_NUM AND D.ACCOUNT BETWEEN A.RANGE_FROM AND A.RANGE_TO AND D.SETID = 'NW' AND D.EFFDT = ( SELECT MAX(EFFDT) FROM PS_GL_ACCOUNT_TBL X WHERE D.ACCOUNT = X.ACCOUNT AND D.SETID = X.SETID)I created a view from the last union section of the SQL and Essbase returns a zero rows found error, although when I ran the view in SQL worksheet I was able to get rows returned. Any ideas on why the view does not return the expected results in Essbase?

before your query do:
<cfsavecontent
variable="emailmessagebody"><cfinclude
template="#mancbPath#/mancb_body.cfm"></cfsavecontent>
then in your query instead of using '<cfinclude ...>'
use
'#emailmessagebody#'

Having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1,configuring the SQL interface

I am having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1 and configuring the SQL interface. we are using UNIX/AIX box for our Essbase server and UDB DB2 9.1 SP6 as our SQL Interface.
When tried to run an ESSCMD script to perform BUILDDIM operation on Essbase application using the load rule (with the SQL interface), got the error as recorded in the application log file and is attached at the bottom and the .odbc.ini file on the server looks as follows.
Can somebody tell me whether .odbc.ini needs any correction or what else should I do to correct the issue and able to work thru using SQL interface? Appreciate any help provided in this regard. Thanks,

I had similar errors when first setting up the SQL interface. Are you on a 64 bit operating system on the essbase server? If so Essbase needs to use the 32 bit odbc driver, not the default 64 bit driver.
The 32 bit driver is still available here SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe <-----This is the 32 bit (Use)
The Administrative tools by default uses system32\odbcad32.exe <----This is the 64 bit (Don't Use)
Once I opened the 32 bit driver interface directly and set it up the errors went away.

Problem in launching newly installed SQL Developer in Linux

In order to install ORacle SQL Developer for linux, I tried to install JDK 5.0 according to the instruction. I downloaded the files and installed it. But when running the sqldeveloper, I got the error message:
Error: This product requires a Java(TM) Platform 5.0 runtime.
You are using 1.4.2 from /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre
Yes, in directory /usr/lib/jvm, there are:
java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0, jre, jre-1.4.2, jre-1.4.2-gcj, jre-gcj
But rpm -qa|grep jdk returned:
jdk-1.5.0_10-fcs
How can I resolve this issue?

you are running SQL Developer using gcc's runtime environment.
just set JAVA_HOME to the dir where jdk1.5 is installed, then PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH, and it should work.

DBConnect to SQL Server from Linux

Hi All,
We have our SAP BI system on the OS Linux x86_64. We need to make a connection to SQL Server Database thru DBConnect.
The problem I face is that I am not able to find the DBSL to SQL Server for Linux operating system.
Is there any way we can make this connection possible.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
BIJESH

I eventually solved this using UnixODBC and FreeTDS, I have yet to complete my own write-up of the solution but I found that someone else had solved the problem at more-or-less the same time and has written up the solution here:
http://iadvise.blogspot.com/2008/02/connect-from-rhel5-to-mssqlserver.html
If anyone finds this in the future and has questions please feel free to get in touch, I get email when this thread is updated so that should be enough. Thanks to Damon for putting me on the right track.

Teradata SQL interface For Essbase

Hi,
Can anyone give me an idea on how exactly Teradata sql interface works while loading data in essbase cubes? Does it create any temporary storage while fetching the data from source system? How can we make the process faster other than using teradata parallel transporter and THREADSWRITE for essbase? And I think it's better to do the transformations in sql itself, rather than doing it in rule file.
Thanks in advance!

From what I understand EPM Fusion Edition 11.1.1 has optimized loading from Teradata I'm not sure, but it may take advantage of fast export. I believe it has to create a temporary table on Teradata(spool) to gather that data together to send to Essbase. I agree it is better to do the transformation in the SQL before getting it to Essbase, you have more flexibility to get things the way you want in SQL(more complex logic and transformations)

Intergration Services and Essbase SQL-Interface

Hi, Experts,
I have learned that if I need to access relational database I need to have one of the above components.
Well, as SQL-Interface is free, what is an Intergration Services good for?
Please give me some advices.
Thanks.

Both SQL Interface and Analytic Integration services provide direct link to the RDBMS.
In AIS, We have to create OLAP Model(Logical Star Schema) and MetaOutline(Rules to load memebers and data) based on the OLAP Model.

Please let me know the process of creating the DSN for SQL server in LINUX and also how can we check the available drivers in LINUX?
Thank You in advance,

OBIEE does all of its data retrieval from the server. Your server needs to be able to query all of the data sources that you define.
The client is irrelevant here, it's just a web browser consuming data that the BI Server returns to it.
So yes you need to define connectivity from your Linux server to your SQL Server box.
The Systems Requirements doc (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf) details DataDirect ODBC drivers that are provided for non-Widows connectivity to SQL Server
