Universe Designer: Error getting dimensions for cube

-Using Business Objects Edge 3.1 SP2
-SAP BW 7.0 (patch level 21)
This is quite odd behavior that seemed at first an authorization issue, but now I am uncertain.
-Attempting to create a Universe based on a Infocube.
-Universe connection is created with no problem using user 'ABC'
-Using Universe Designer on the BOBJ server, no issues creating the Universe
-Using Universe Designer on a users desktop, the Universe fails to create with error message:
A runtime exception has occurred. (Error getting dimensions for cube $0SD_C03 (catalog $INFOCUBE): Unknown error)
-Change the connection to use user 'DEF', the Universe creates just fine on the desktop
-Behavior is not exclusive to one BW object, happens no matter what 'ABC' tries to access from this desktop
So, at first I am thinking authorizations, but then the universe create would fail on the server as well.  If it is environmental, what could possibly affect this behavior.
Any ideas before I submit to SAP Support?

Oddly enough it was an authorization issue.
When authenticating against the SAP source system from Universe Designer on either the workstation or server, both traces show a missing authorization for RFC_NAME = RASB
This setting is not found in referenced SAPu2019s guides or whitepapers under suggested authorizations for Universe create.  What remains unexplained is why using the same credentials from 2 different computers had a different response.

  • BOBJ - BW  "Error getting hierarchies for dimension... "

    Im still whitout a solution for this problem, however we have found a difference between the queries that work and the queries that dont work. The difference is in the hierarchies type but we dont know what is the problem exactly.
    Does anyone know if there is an specyfic type of hierarchie that we need to use???
    Regards

    Hi,
    I wonder why you are not using the BEx / BICS connection ?  (instead of the old OLAP .unv)
    the process flow for generating a universe would include the following SE37 function modules:
    BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_CATALOGS
    BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_CUBES
    BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_DIMENSIONS
    BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_HIERARCHYS
    You should test these in BW .
    It may actually be an authorization issue - perhaps your logon doesn't have infoobject authorizations for 0Plant?
    Regards,
    Henry

  • How to limit servermgr_filebrowser to boot volume, to prevent 'Error getting quotas for volume'

    Having a system with 1 boot drive and 15 backup drives, we do want to limit the server manager 'servermgrd' its 'servermgr_filebrowser.bundle' to retrieve/check the disk quota only on the boot volume ('/').
    Because:
    the backup drives are FAT formatted, which will fail every time with this error message: 'servermgrd: servermgr_filebrowser:Error:servermgr_filebrowser: Error getting quotas for volume /Volumes/I of type exfat'
    the quota check is repeated every 2 hours (120 minutes), causing the log the be filled with these message and the drives to spin up 12 times a day (consuming more power than necessary and causing extra drive wear)
    How can the server hard disk drive quotum check be limited to the boot volume only (not scanning for any other volume)?
    And when that isn't possible, what is the correct way to completely disable servermgr_filebrowser?

    Thank you Mark you are vary helpfull
    Did you mean that (lower) by "bundle strategy"?
    <cachestore-scheme>
    <class-scheme>
    <class-name>com.griddynamics.ticketon.app.dao.coherence.TicketCacheStore</class-name>
    </class-scheme>
    <operation-bundling>
    <bundle-config>
    <operation-name>store</operation-name>
    <preferred-size>5000</preferred-size>
    <auto-adjust>true</auto-adjust>
    </bundle-config>
    </operation-bundling>
    </cachestore-scheme>
    And if yes is it looks sense?
    I mean by this, "send records to TicketCacheStore by 5000 per call " am i right?
    I dropped delay to 10s and set factor to 0.5
    Not coherece send me 5-20k records and cachestore handle whis successfuly.
    But! By diferent means it may work longer sometimes, some lock in database for instance.
    I want to find durable solution for the case, not only lower a chance i meet one.
    Issuing heartbeat from cachestore looks best for me now.
    I find that default guardian timeout is 65s and it is not looks as good idea to make it higher.

  • How to get DIMENSION and CUBE data into JDeveloper???

    i have build cube and dimension using oracle analytical workspace manager (AWM),
    how i can get the cube and dimension data using jdeveloper 11gR2??
    does anybody know?
    any extension? or what??

    The simplest thing is to use JDBC (java.sql package) to access the cube and dimension views through SQL. Something like this (with appropriate error handling).
    String sql = "SELECT dim_key FROM product_view";
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
    while (rs.next())
      // Process row here
    rs.close();
    statement.close();  If your requirements are more complicated or you feel adventurous, then you can use the Java OLAP API. This is the code used by the data viewer in AWM. (Look for olap_api.jar in your database installation -- olap\api\lib\olap_api.jar my windows instance.)

  • Error getting SID

    Hi,
    I am getting the following errors in the activation of ODS.
    1) Error getting SID for ODS object ZMMIVO01     
    2) Value 'PPM@HIGHWA' (hex. '50504D40484947485741') of characteristic ZCUSTREF contains invalid characters     
    3) Error when assigning SID (details in long text)
    Please help me in resolving this and I can assure full points for very helpful answers
    Thanks,
    RV

    Hi,
    1) SID errors
    SID errors occurs generaly when master is not loaded and activation takes place.
    If master data is loaded perform attribute change run and try again.
    Also try repairing master data object in RSRV.
    2) Invalid char
    I think you are facing an invalid character issue.
    This issue can be resolved by correcting the error records in PSA and updating it into the target. For that the first step should be to identify if all the records are there in PSA. You can find out this from checking the Details tab in RSMO, Job log , PSA > sorting records based on status,etc. Once its confirmed force the request to red and delete the particular request from the target cube. Then go to PSA and edit the incorrect records (correcting or blanking out the invalid entries for particular field InfoObject for the incorrect record) and save it. Once all the incorrect records are edited go to RSA1>PSA find the particular request and update to target manually (right click on PSA request > Start update immediately).
    I will add the step by step procedure to edit PSA data and update into target (request based).
    Steps
    1. Force the request to red in RSMO > Status tab.
    2. Delete the request from target.
    3. Come to RSMO > top right you can see PSA maintenace button > click and go to PSA .
    4.Edit the record
    5. Save PSA data.
    6. Got to RSA15 > Search by request name > Right click > update the request from PSA to target.
    This should solve your problem for now.
    As a long term you can apply some user exit in source system side or change your update rules to ensure that this field is getting blanked out before getting loaded in cube or add that particular achr to permitted character list in BW (Run TCODE RSKC
    Input the <character> and execute the program) This will add <character> to the allowed characters list.

    Hi syed
                 Take the help of an ABAP person.
                 There will be same table resembling the name .
    So the data needs to be updated in the corresponding table .
    When the core people are updating data from different palnts and sites accross.
    In my case i haven't moved further.
    This is a configuration change form R/3 side where the data had to be fetched in the orrect table .

  • Universe design for SAP BPC (MSAS cube)

    During the designing of a Universe on top of a MSAS cube there is the moment I may select Dimensions & Hierarchies. Here there are ID's of my model, e.g. Accounts-Lev1, Time-Lev1, etc.
    How do I get to see the descriptions of the levels in the Universe Designer?
    Screenshots:
    http://s772.photobucket.com/albums/yy7/Thijxx/

    Hi SR,
      In some way is true what you think, is important to put effort and intelligence in design very well the Bex query also the BW solution.
      But the effort is not only there, you can improve that with a good Universe creating MDX Measures, changing the BW names (Dimensions and measures) for other more comprehensives for the users, change and reorder the classes and dimensions to be more close to user concept, create new hierarchies and others.
      Don't forget that the Universe is a semantic layer to hide complexity and is useful for:
    -  Map complex data into familiar business terms such as products, customers, and sales.
    -  Enable simple, intuitive, and self-guided data analysis.
    -  Guarantee single version of the truth (identical results) no matter what tool is used)
    Some tips are:
    You do not need a BE query for every report and you do not need a Universe for every existing BE query
    Focus the implementation strategy on limiting the number of Bex queries and Universes that share common elements
    Build a small set of Bex queries focusing on sharing common elements in a small number of Universes
    Understand that primarily the WebI Query Panel definition influences how much data is retrieved from BW, and not the BE query design or the WebI Report layout, In some situations extremely large queries and universes can adversely affect performance
    Removing / Hide Unnecessary u201CL00u201D Objects
    Removing / Hide Unused or Redundant Detail Objects
    Remove all prefixes « Lxx ». Copy the initial name in the Description of the object
    Rename the attributes (Detail objects) when necessary : remove the suffixes when no Business signification
    Optimizing Detail Object Syntax
    I hope this help you.
      Best Regards
