Migrating Essbase cube across versions via file system

A large BSO cube has been taking much longer to complete a 'calc all' in Essbase 11.1.2.2 than on Essbase 9.3.1 despite all Essbase.cfg, app and db settings being same (https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2599658).
As a last resort, I've tried the following-
1. Calc the cube on the 9.3.1 server.
2. Use EAS Migration Wizard to migrate the cube from the 9.3.1 server to the 11.1.2.2 server.
3. File system transfer of all ess*.ind and ess*.pag from 9.3.1\app\db folder to 11.1.2.2\app\db folder (at this point a retrieval from the 11.1.2.2 server does not yet return any data).
4. File system transfer of the dbname.esm file from 9.3.1\app\db folder to 11.1.2.2\app\db folder (at this point a retrieval from the 11.1.2.2 server returns an "unable to load database dbname" error and an "Invalid transaction status for block -- Please use the IBH Locate/Fix utilities to find/fix the problem" error).
5. File system transfer of the dbname.tct file from 9.3.1\app\db folder to 11.1.2.2\app\db folder (and voila! Essbase returns data from the 11.1.2.2 server and numbers match with the 9.3.1 sever).
This almost seems too good to be true. Can anyone think of any dangers of migrating apps this way? Has nothing changed in file formats between Essbase 9.x and 11.x? Won't not transferring the dbname.ind and dbname.db files cause any issues down the road? Thankfully we are soon moving to ASO for this large BSO cube, so this isn't a long term worry.

Freshly install the Essbase 11.1.2.2 on Window server 2008 r-2 with the recommended hardware specification. After Installation configure 11.1.2.2 with the DB/Schema
Take the all data back up of the essbase applications using script export or directly exporting from the cube.
Use the EAS Migration wizard to migrate the essbase applications
After the Migrating the applications successfully,reLoad all the data into cube.
For the 4th Point
IBH error generally caused when there is a mismatch in the index file and the PAG file while e executing the calculation script .Possible solutions are available
The recommended procedure is:
a)Disable all logins.
alter application sample disable connects;
b)Forcibly log off all users.
alter system logout session on database sample.basic;
c)Run the MaxL statement to get invalid block header information.
alter database sample.basic validate data to local logfile 'invalid_blocks';
d)Repair invalid block headers
alter database sample.basic repair invalid_block_headers;

Imported essbase cube into Oracle BI

Hi all,
Environment : Oracle BI EE and Oracle Hyperion Essbase 11.1.3
I have created Oracle BIEE dashboards using ESSBASE cube as source
I am following the below steps :
Step 1 : from Administrative Tool i imported essbase cube into the physical layer
Step 2 : i drag the cube in to the Business Model layer and Presentation Layer
Step 3 : while creating Oracle BI dashboards in Answers(Presentation Service), Metadata is perfectly Comming but the Measure values should always be empty.
I followed the link for creating and configuring the the Oracle BIEE Dashboards with Oralce Hyperion Essbase 11.1.3
1. http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/essbase/biee_essbase.htm
2. http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/fed_data/fed_data.html
i am facing the problem to get the Amount Values, So i need help to Achive this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Mano

Have you set the dimension in your Essbase cube that stores the data facts (Amount Values) as an "Accounts" dimension? If not, do that. You'll need to re-import the whole thing in the BI Administration tool again and then drag it across to the BMM and Presentation layers.

Workspace error when drilling down on Essbase Cube

An Interactive Reporting Service error has occurred.-Failed to acquire requested service.
(2001)
We're trying to create OLAP queries in IR to deploy through workspace. When I drill down on any dimension, after deploying to workspace, I get the generic error above. Has anyone seen this error?

I have created one report using Essbase cubes in OBIEE11G and when I am archiving the same report at one local server and unarchiving it at some other server then at the other server I am facing this error.
Any replies will indeed be helpful.

Was told not to report off transaction essbase cubes

Hello there,
we recently implemented Hyperion Planning and have 3 Essbase cubes: Planning, Capex, and workforce. We want to hook OBIEE up to the cubes for reporting. We have been told it is not best practice to report off the same cubes we're transacting in. How should we go about building reporting cubes? Is it as simple as "backing up" or copying our transactional cubes?

hi,
have u seen this?

Impact of write-back on large data cubes(Both ASO and BSO)

Hi All,
We are in the phase of designing the Essbase Cubes(both ASO and BSO).
Has anyone encountered issues performing a write-back on large Essbase data Cubes?
With Regards,
Madhan

Hi,
Do you mean data load from a flat file or sql or simply lock and send? An estimate size of your record set would also help.
I get 30 million records into an ASO cube in about 5 minutes from SQL using load rules. This is in 11.1.2.1.
Thanks,
Nathan

Export standard and Custom report to xls / word / power point ??

Hi
Apps: 12.1.3
DB 11gR1
Is there any tool so that i can save standard and Custom report to xls / word / power point ??
Thanks
Vishwa

There are a few third party tools that let you do that.
Some such tools are Monarch, Rep2excel etc.
Google for "convert oracle report to excel" and you will get a few more hits.
The best way to get it in Excel is to change the output format to XML and write a quick XML publisher template.
Hope this helps

Migrate cognos cubes to essbase

Hi,
Does anyone know the steps to migrate Cognos cubes to Essbase 11? I've no idea where to start from other than doing it manually from scratch, like building the outline & loading data.
Can we export metadata & data from Cognos in a format which can be loaded to Essbase w/o much tedious manual task?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Srinivas,
Thank you for quick reply.
could you explain me process little bit clearly.
can you explain how to extract the data from cognos cubes to the relational layer?are there any third party tools for doing the same?
How do you compute complex calculation in cognos.can we do scripting in cognos as we do it is essbase using calculation scripts.
for eg :do you incorparate if else st in cognos(thinking in terms of reusability).
How can a security be migrated from cognos to essbase.
Have you used any third party tools for migration.
What is "report matrix " I don't have idea about cognos.
and some more things you followed
Thanks!

Yolu have posted in the PPC area, and if you do, in fact, have a PPC, you can't migrate to Lion, it only works on intel machines. In addidition, you need to be running Snow Leopard (10.6.x) if you have an intel in order to install Lion.

Cannot Lock and Send data to an Essbase cube

Hi all,
One of our customer is executing a Macro script to lock and send data to the essbase cube from an excel sheet.
They reported that in several cases where users will submit their data, and later discover that their changes are not in Essbase.
The calls to EssVRetrieve (to lock the blocks) and EssVSendData are both returning successfully and there is no error message received while executing the above macros.
I reviewed the application log file and found the following message:
[Mon Nov 24 18:59:43 2008]Local/Applicn///Warning(1080014)
Transaction [ 0xd801e0( 0x492b4bb0.0x45560 ) ] aborted due to status [1014031].
I analysed the above message and found the user is trying to lock the database when already a lock has been applied to it and some operation is being performed on it. Because of that the transaction has been aborted. But customer says no concurrent operation is being performed at that time.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Raja

The error message for error 1014031 is 'Essbase could not get a lock in the specified time.' The first thought I have is that perhaps some user/s have the 'Update Mode' option set in their Essbase Options and thus, when they are retrieving data, they are inadvertantly locking the data blocks. If that is the case, you will probably see this issue sporadically as the locks are automatically released when the user disconnects from Essbase.
To make it stop, you will have to go to every user's desktop and make sure they have that Essbase Option turned off. Further, you will have to look at any worksheets they may use that may have an Essbase Option name stored on it. The range name is stored as a string and includes a setting for update mode. Here is a sample that I created for this post where I first turned 'on' update mode and then turned 'off' update mode:
A1100000001121000000001100120_01-0000
A1100000000121000000001100120_01-0000
Note the 11th character in the first string is '1' which indicates that Update Mode is 'on'; in the second string, it is 'off'.
This behavior, particularly with update mode, is the only one of the behaviors that I disliked in Excel and pushed me to design our Dodeca product. In Dodeca, the administrator controls all Essbase options and can either set individual options to the value they want or they can allow the user to choose their own options. Most of our customers do not allow the user to set update mode.

LLD and HLD for Essbase Cube

Hi All,
Could you please tell me how to create LLD and HLD for Essbase ASO cube?.
Please explain me in detail.
Thanks in Advance.

I think LLD is for low level design.
In any Essbase cube building, We didn't take much pressure for the design document.
Just we will document a report matrix.
Based on this we will identify entities(dimensions) and attributes(members).
From this we will analyze the data availability and the level of input into essbase.
This is enough to get into Application manager and we will build the prototype cube and allow the business users to drill into the cube.
From here we will do the changes to the design as well as to the cube to reflect the business users review comments.
Once cube is accepted we will deliver the final version of the design document with all the needed databse screen shots and batch scripts to automate the cubebuild.

Linking existing Essbase Cube to Planning

My business team created an Essbase cube, and now they want us to link that cube to Planning.
I opened an SR and I was told the following:
1. Ensure you have a test environment to create this new Planning app before moving to production.
2. Create a new Planning app in the test environment with the same name as the production Essbase cube.
3. Export all Essbase data.
4. Copy over the outline to the new Essbase cube in the test env. You can copy over the rest of the Essbase objects as needed (calc scripts, report scripts, etc).
5. Import the Essbase data into the new Essbase cube.
6. refresh Planning
Everything went well except for Step 6. When I do the refresh from Planning, the Essbase Outline gets updated with the one from Planning which doesn't have anything since it was just created.
I need to refresh the Planning Outline with the the one from Essbase that does have the data the users have been working on.
Thanks.

Hi,
You will have to define all the dimension membes etc to Planning. Because Essbase is the database, it will be updated with planning information... There are no shortcuts.. But you can export your dimension members from existing Essbase and load into planning using HAL/ODI/DIM..
Use outline extractor tool to get the existing dimensionality and create 1 metadata file per dimensions.
I believe Oracle support thought that you want to create a new Essbase cube from existing Planning cube.

Using ODI to load 2 similar Essbase cubes

Hello all,
I am trying to create an ODI routine that incorporates the following details:
-Loads specific Essbase member properties from a single flat file to 2 similar Essbase cubes
-The Essbase cubes are virtually identical, except that one is ASO and one is BSO, therefore the properties may differ for specific members (i.e. DataStorage, Consolidation, Formula, etc.). There are also other differences in dimensionality, but those details are inconsequential to this routine...
-For each type of member property, the flat file has 2 sets of columns - one for ASO and one for BSO. Therefore, one column might be called "ASODataStorage" while another one is called "BSODataStorage". They have different values in them respective to the Essbase architecture.
-There is also a set of columns called "ASOFlag" and "BSOFlag" that flag which members should even be loaded to that respective cube. So, one sub hierarchy may be needed for the ASO cube, but not the BSO cube.
Earlier, I created 2 contexts for these cubes so I could use the same ODI routine and source metadata to update both cubes with a simple change of context. This part is working correctly. The challenge I'm facing now, however, is how to design a routine that will select the appropriate columns of data based on my context. Therefore, if one context is called "ASO", it should select the "ASO" columns and apply only those properties/members. And a similar situation should happen when the "BSO" context is created.
I have tinkered with the idea of using a variable that stores the current context information, and becomes evaluated at runtime and then changes the source columns based on the variable value. However, I'm having trouble getting this to work correctly (I am a newbie to variables). I am also having trouble figuring out how to map all of the source columns to the target columns, as I am going from double property columns in the source to a single set of property columns in the Essbase metdata target.
Is there a better way to approach this in ODI? Please note that I am aware that EIS can handle this as well...but I am looking for an ODI solution.
Thanks in advance!
-OS

Hi,
In simple terms you should be able to create a package, drag the variable on to the package and set the value as ASOflag
Then drag your interface on to the diagram to run the ASO load (the interface should have a filter that uses the variable to filter the required records)
Then drag the variable on to the diagram and set the value to BSOflag.
Then drag your interface on to the diagram to run the BSO load (the interface should have a filter that uses the variable to filter the required records)
Though you say you are changing contexts so you might have to go down the route of generating a scenario from a package for the ASO load, then a scenario for the BSO load, then create another package using the ODIstartscen tool and execute the scenarios with the specified scenarios.
Cheers
