  • Universe on MSAS 2005 Cubes

    Hi,
    I created a universe based on MSAS 2005 cubes. then i tried to create a webi report, it is throwing an error, where as i can create a report in rich client but unable to perform drill operations in rich client.
    I am using the Bo XI 3.1 Sp3.
    I created a universe using the designer.
    the error message in webi is :
    A database error occured. The database error text is: An error occurred while trying to load the provider for transport odbo. Failed to load library . System error message: The specified module could not be found.. (WIS 10901)
    can we create a universe based on MSAS cubes using the designer?
    can any one please help me how to solve this issue?
    Thanks

    HI deepu,
    My admin installed MSAS 2005 in BOE and now i am able to create/run webi reports. now i got drill issue in webi and rich client.
    i can able to drill down but when i click on drill up, it is throwing an error, then onwards, i am unable to perform any drill oparations , each time i click drill up\down, it is throwing error.
    the error message is :

  • MSAS 2005 Cube

    Hi All,
    Can we create additional Objects on the universe using MSAS 2005 Cubes???
    Here I mean to say, I want to define the complex object defination on Universe using the objects which are available form MSAS 2005 Cubes...
    Kindly guide me for the same ....

    Hi,
    Yes you can create new calculated measures in OLAP universes.
    Calculated measures definition are written in MDX.
    Please have a look on the Designer documentation [Designer's guide |http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP2/en/xi31_sp2_designer_en.pdf]
    You will find also several documents with best practices and also with hints and tips on how to design calculated measures: [https://portal.wdf.sap.corp/irj/portal?navigationtarget=navurl://eaeb8478be0da5e948e0e9f319c9c499&NavigationContext=NavigationContext=navurl://7f6f53bebf57a991a023fca93dc3f9cd]

  • Connecting SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g

    Hello experts,
    I'm trying to link an SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g.
    In Oracle BI Administration, when I choose File -> Import -> From
    Multi-dimensional, I have to fill the next gaps:
    Provider Type: Analysis Services 2005
    URL: ***********
    User: blank
    Password: blank
    Before to do that, I need to create the URL path.
    To create the URL, I have followed this link.
    http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2008/08/obiee-connection-to-msas-2005-
    cube.html
    But, it hasn't worked because when I was trying to configure the HTTP
    access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, we have to perform a test to ensure that it has been well configured. In IIS -> WebSites -> Default WebSites -> olap, we should browse the document called "msmdpump.dll" and this should show an xml document, but it doesn't.
    Thanks!

    Hi Alex
    It sounds like your MS data pump might not be configured correctly. First ensure that is working before trying to put the values into OBIEE. Don't worry about the 500 error - I get that too instead of an XML page.
    You can read a bit more about SSAS support on my blog here:

  • EVDESCRIPTION Issue from BPC OLAP Cubes universe

    Hi,
    I created a universe from a BPC OLAP Cube.
    it has several dimensions, dimension Profitcenter has 10 levels like level 1,level2,etc..
    each level has its detail objects, one of the details object in each level is EVDESCRIPTION. Now i created a webi report, with object profitcenter_lev7 and its deatil object EVDESCRIPTION (LEV7), and the report now showing any data for teh deatil object . i run for sevaral objects and its deatil object  EVDESCRIPTION, still i dont see any data for it. but i cross checked with database and my BPC cubes, data is exisitng in there. then i realised, it is the issue with the deatils object with in the universe.
    and i changed the select statement code for the detail object EVDESCRIPTION.
    the exisitng code for the EVDESCRIPTION (LEV7) is  :
    [ProfitCenter].[H1].[LEV7].[EVDESCRIPTION].[Value] then i changed to
    <EXPRESSION>[ProfitCenter].CurrentMember.Properties("EVDESCRIPTION")</EXPRESSION> .
    then i created a webi report for only Proficenter_lev7 and EVDESCRIPTION (LEV7) , then the report showed the code and its description perfect.
    i chaned the same code for all the levels with same code, adn created a report with only level object and its evdescription, it is showing the perfect data. now the issue is when i run a report with 2 codes and its description, like
    Profiftcenter 7,EVDESCRIPTION (LEV7),profitcenter 6,EVDESCRIPTION (LEV6) , then
    i expect 4 colums in the report with code 7 and its description and 6 and its description.
    but here the code 6's description i.e. EVDESCRIPTION (LEV6) is overwritting with lev 7's descrition.
    I expect data below shows  
    code 7      desc 7                                         code 6                    desc 6
    USA      United states of america                 NY                  New York
    USA      United states of america                 CA                  California
    But i am getting :
    code 7      desc 7                                         code 6                    desc 6
    USA      New York                                        NY                  New York
    USA      California                                         CA                  California
    the EVDESCRIPTION (LEV6) valeus are overlapped to EVDESCRIPTION (LEV7).
    i changed the EVDESCRIPTION object code in different ways like
    <EXPRESSION>[ProfitCenter].CurrentMember.Properties("EVDESCRIPTION_LEV7")</EXPRESSION>   
    or
    <EXPRESSION>[ProfitCenter].CurrentMember.Properties("EVDESCRIPTION7")</EXPRESSION>
    and many more ways, then the 1st problem comes which is no data retriving. the only way data is showing for the code is
    <EXPRESSION>[ProfitCenter].CurrentMember.Properties("EVDESCRIPTION")</EXPRESSION>  but like i said when i run for 2 codes and descriptions, the lower level description data is overlapping to its highest level.
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hello
    We have got passed this issue by creating it as a measure and using it in the query for the dimension.
    We created the measure with the expression "[dim].currentmember.properties("EVDESCRIPTION")".
    Works perfectly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Universe Creation On OLAP Cube(SSAS) throwing error. in BO X1 3.1

    Hi Experts,
    I have created OLAP universe based on SSAS Cube using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services Driver.
    i have created webi report based on this SSAS Cube,everything is fine
    but when i create condition in universe level,if i use the same universe in webi report its throwing error:An internal error occured while calling the 'processDPCommands' API.
    Thanks,

    This should be set up in steps, Have you configured java AD kerberos so you can login via your web/app with AD? This is a prerequisite before setting up any type of delegation to the DB.
    You can also set up SSO in the front end but this shouldn't be necessarry for delegating to the DB.
    What SPN's do you need...
    Well if using java AD you should have an SPN for the account running the SIA (typically BOBJCentralMS/something) This SPN needs to be set in the CMC, You will need the krb5 and bsclogin files to login to your web/app with kerberos/AD. The krb5.ini will have to have a setting forwardable = true, and finally the MSAS server will need SPN's http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917409
    This a a very complex configuration and you will likely need to open an incident with support to get an engineer to help. I'm not sure where our current docs for the configuration are.

  • Error creating Universe from BW query

    Hi
    Creating the Universe connected to BW query (BI 7).   
    Connection is proper and universe designer is connected to BW system without any problem.   I have already used many queries to connect to universe and webi documents has been developed.   
    The only difference in this BW query is,  it is using hierarchy with 'derivation type'  in 'select hierarchy date'.
    BW query is working as expected in BEx designer.
    This is the error message when trying to create the universe from BW query -
    Error getting dimensions for cube <infoprovider name>/<query name>(catalog <infoprovider name>): Unknown error when executing MDX
    Product name : SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Client Tools SP3
    Please respond how this can be resolved.
    Thanks
    Sreedh

    Sreedh,
    I was wondering whether you could resolve this error?
    Would appreciate if you can convey the resolution.
    I am getting the same error - ( BOE XI 3.1 ).
    Thank you,

  • " Steps to create a universe from R/3 "

    Dear  Friends ,
                                    Can any one let me know the steps to create a universe from R/3 .

    Hi,
    you must install Enchancement Pack 4 on your SAP ERP system in order to be able to build a universe based on an infoset query.
    If you do not have EHP 4 (not sure if it is officially released yet) you can only use Crystal Reports to report directly on SAP R/3 tables.
    You will need to SAP BusinessObjects Solution kit (a.k.a SAP integration Kit) to be able to access OLAP cubes from the SAP BW via universes.
    R3 data cannot be accessed via Webi, only if you go directly againt the database hosting the R3 tables (there will be thousands of tables though I believe).
    I would think Crystal Reports is passing a SQL statement to the SAP R3 database and a universe could be built to re-create that SQL statement. Such a universe would be really hard to build (I should know - I build Oracle E-Business Suite universes all day), but not impossible.

  • A universe from SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP BW 7.3... Possible?

    Hello,
    We are looking to create one universe from two SAP data sources;
    1) SAP ECC 6.0 with EHP5 and
    2) SAP BW 7.3
    Can this be done?
    In UDT there is a SAP BW connection that can satisfy need for cubes but connection to ECC is a challenge.
    I think it's possible in in CR 2011 but exploring webi options.
    Any suggestion / work around ?.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    With Feature Pack 03 (ramp up registration open now, and RU starts ~16 March), you will be able to use IDT driver to access ECC (R/3) data. and generate a universe.
    In the current, 4.0 SP02 Patch2.x codeline,  you cannot do the above.
    today, You can create a Multi Source-enabled Universe (UNX in IDT)  for relational BW-SQL access to underlying BW table schema  (by passing OLAP engine and all BEx semantic concepts.)
    But - if you have the XI 3.1 Data Federator product already -  then you can go from IDT, and use the DF XI3.1 as a datasource into a UNX universe.
    I have not tried combining BW-SQL and DF 3.1 connections into a MSU universe.
    Yes, using CR 2011, you can consume ECC.
    I'd recommend joining ramp up (go via your account team) and evaluating the new features asap.

  • Poor performance when accessing a MSAS 2008 cube via BI Server

    I am having an issue with performance when accessing a MSAS 2008 cube via the BI Server.
    I think it has to do with the way that the MDX is being generated.
    Please could someone advise on any settings I could try or any known issues with the integration?
    Thanks,

    Hi Kim,
    Sorry I can't help out, but, I'm curious how you got the AS 2008 drivers installed for use with OBIEE? I have an AS2008 environment, but, my OBIEE version only supports 2000 and 2005.

  • How to design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries

    Hi Team,
                  I would like to know some of the queries :
    1.How can you design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries in the sense which gives you more performance
    2.What are the differences between Non SAP sources like Oracle,SQL and SAP sources in designing the Universe.
    3.Can we create a Derived table from an SAP source because i know that the Schema is not created for BEx queries,cubes.
    4.What are the advantages of having oracle as a source then SAP source.
    Can you please elobarate the above queries.
    Regards,
    Pradeep P.

    Hi,
    1. Check Ingos Blog on SDN ther are some PDF for performance regarding WebI on BW
    2. On RDBMS Source you have to design your universe. On OLAP Source like BW you generate the Universe and cant customize it a lot.
    4. Good question. In a BW all your logic is already in place. On a RDBMS you have to build your logic in a universe. But there are a lot of differences.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • How to create universe for sap bw cubes in Business objects

    Hi all,
    can anybody tell me the steps to create universe for SAP BW CUBES from Business objects software.
    Thanks.
    Cheta.

    Hi,
    In a SAP-BW and BO environment using Business Object Universe generator, it appears that BO requires direct data base connectivity to read data from BW.
    In XI/XI R2 , it use an RFC connection (MDX driver, which makes BAPI, SAP API calls) to SAP BW to obtain the details of the BW Query or Info Cube for building the Universe using the XI/XIR2 Business Objects designer application. The request for the query or cube details is done VIA BAPI function calls. For the SAP BW Query we must have “allow External Access to this query” checked under the Query Property window.
    Our Integrated Solution Kits do not access the SAP BW’s data source.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards

  • Issue when uploading Sales data from DSO to Cube.

    Dear All,
    I have an issue when I am uploading Sales data from DSO to Cube.  I am using BI 7.0 and I have uploaded all sales document level data to my DSO.  Then I use a transformation rule to calculate the Sales Value when I am doing DTP to cube.  Cube has customer wise aggregation data.
    In DSO I have NetPrice(KF) and Delivered_QTY(KF).  I do a simple multiplication routine in the transformation from DSO to Cube.
    RESULT =   SOURCE_FIELDS-NET_PRICE * SOURCE_FIELDS-DLV_QTY .
    At the moment I use Active Table(With out Archive) on the DSO to get the data since this is my first load.
    Issue is that the figure (Sales Value) in the cube is incorrect. I am getting a very large values which is impossible.
    Can someone please help me.
    Shanka

    Hi,
    are you sure that cube has customer wise aggregated data..since it will always aggregate the values of the key figures for the same set of characters...
    did you checked the values for the key figures as well and if even they are inflated or is the problem with this key figure only.
    During the data load the records may aggregates first for the same values of characters and then multiplication will be happening....if that is the case then you may have to multiply the values before storing it in the data package and then let it aggregate....can be achived through start routine...
    but first verify if other key figures are also having the same issue.
    Thanks

  • Delta records not updating from DSO to CUBE in BI 7

    Hi Experts,
    Delta records not updating from DSO to CUBE
    in DSO keyfigure value showing '0' but in CUBE same record showing '-I '
    I cheked in Change log table in DSO its have 5 records
    ODSR_4LKIX7QHZX0VQB9IDR9MVQ65M -  -1
    ODSR_4LKIX7QHZX0VQB9IDR9MVQ65M -   0
    ODSR_4LIF02ZV32F1M85DXHUCSH0DL -   0
    ODSR_4LIF02ZV32F1M85DXHUCSH0DL -   1
    ODSR_4LH8CXKUJPW2JDS0LC775N4MH -   0
    but active data table have one record - 0
    how to corrcct the delta load??
    Regards,
    Jai

    Hi,
    I think initially the value was 0 (ODSR_4LH8CXKUJPW2JDS0LC775N4MH - 0, new image in changelog) and this got loaded to the cube.
    Then the value got changed to 1 (ODSR_4LIF02ZV32F1M85DXHUCSH0DL - 0, before image & ODSR_4LIF02ZV32F1M85DXHUCSH0DL - 1, after image). Now this record updates the cube with value 1. The cube has 2 records, one with 0 value and the other with 1.
    The value got changed again to 0 (ODSR_4LKIX7QHZX0VQB9IDR9MVQ65M - (-1), before image &
    ODSR_4LKIX7QHZX0VQB9IDR9MVQ65M - 0, after image). Now these records get aggregated and update the cube with (-1).
    The cube has 3 records, with 0, 1 and -1 values....the effective total is 0 which is correct.
    Is this not what you see in the cube? were the earlier req deleted from the cube?
