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
Krishna

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 :
An internal error occured while calling 'executeDrillAction' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)
Could you please help me solve this issue.

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 ....
Thanks,
Hiren Rai

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:

Here's the link to Microsoft's description of setting up msmdpump.dll

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,
Prasad

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.

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,
Kim Sarkin

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.

Universe created on BI cube throws error.

Hi Experts,
This is the first time i have created one universe based on a Cube in BI system. After universe creation, I am logined into WebIntelligence Rich Client and create a query on top of the created universe which throws errors like below.
A database error occured. The database error text is: The supplied XML is not valid. <CONSTANT>. (WIS 10901)
I tried with many combinations, but, in result sometimes with blank report and sometimes throwing above error.
Cany anyone suggest me what is the solution for this ?
Regards,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
The reason here is some thing has bean changed at SAP BI Cube after creation of Universe in Business Objects.
Solution for this is " Refresh the universe structure " and then save it and export and try create reports. If it is not the reason give some more clarity on your error.
Thanks.

Universe is recamonded on cubes or query

Hi
is SAP recamonded build universe based on OLAP cubes or queries (bex analyzer queries)
if i connect cubes, can i get all functions in BO ( like functions in bex analyzer, variables...)
please let me know

Hi,
so its mandatory in BW we need to build query , we can build universe on top of query?
>> Yes you can build a universe on top of a InfoProvider but you would accept the limitations described above.
so why SAP is giving BO on top of BI query?
>> to leverage those items and to leverage the features you can build in the BI query
what is the advantage of BO in this scenerio? we are building complete query at analyzer and publishing into portal, end user is able to get clear details , even end user can export into excel, send to pdf out put, he can drill downll and filter of that query?
>> I assume you are using BEx Analyzer today. BusinessObjects is offering a broad range of tools for different set of users.
what is specific advantage of BO in this scenerios?
without BI query we cant get sap exit variables in BO ( if i build universe on top of cube)
>> No. Variables are part of the BI query and not the cube.

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 BWs data source.
Hope this helps,
Regards

Universe creation against SAP Cubes/Queries with same connection

Hello,
I am creating universe against the connection for SAP BW system, once I have created a connection and selected a cube or query and built a universe on top of it....If I go back and create a new universe and this time change the connection to point towards a new cube/query the old universe stops working.
Is it a limitation for SAP database where we need to have a new connection setup for each universe...or is there a different way to use same connection pointing towards different cubes/queries for different universes.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hi
when you build a universe based on the connection and want to use the universe with reports you can not change the underlying connection because then your universe will not work anymore.
You can have multiple universe on a single connection.

While Browsing SSAS 2005 Cube Getting Error " The following system error occurred from a call to GetOverlappedResult for Physical file: Logical file: '' : Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service."

Hi Guys,
When I try to Brows Cube (SSAS 2005), I get below error (Sometimes):
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services
Server: The operation has been cancelled.
The following system error occurred from a call to GetOverlappedResult for Physical file: '\\?\F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Data\XXX_2012.0.db\XXX DC.0.cub\FACT_XXX.0.det\PARTITION_2013Q31.0.prt\674.fact.data', Logical file: '' : Insufficient

system resources exist to complete the requested service. .
BUTTONS:

and I think due to above Error, Index on a Particular Attribute (EMP_ID) of a DIMENSION DIM_EMP is getting dropped from FEW of the Partitions (Folders) and started getting new error:

File system error: The following error occurred while opening the file '\\?\F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Data\XXX_2012.0.db\XXX DC.0.cub\FACT_XXX.0.det\PARTITION_2013Q31.0.prt\688.DIM_EMO.EMP_ID.fact.map'.
BUTTONS:
OK
I followed the above path and did not find file 688.DIM_EMO.EMP_ID.fact.map in folder PARTITION_2013Q31.0.prt. Once I rebuild the Index (ProcessIndex) for this partition, I am able to See file 688.DIM_EMO.EMP_ID.fact.map.
But again when next time I get error "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service", Then 688.DIM_EMO.EMP_ID.fact.map will be dropped and will not be available in folder PARTITION_2013Q31.0.prt.
Anyone had similar issue. Could you please share your experience and resolution if any.
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi Shiven,
In your scenario, the issue occur at sometimes, right? Base on my research, the issue can be caused by that calculation estimate exceeded available memory. Possibly due to possible number of dimension members and sizes of keys. And 32bit environment didn’t
allow for any expansion to the SSAS memory space.
To avoid this issue, please try to use userva to fine tune the 3GB setting down to 2900 since /3GB is the likely
cause (has been for most other customers who encountered the same problem before). The KB Articles below discuss that setting in detail.
How to use the /userva switch with the /3GB switch to tune the User-mode space to a value between 2 GB and 3 GB

Universe Filter vs BW Cube

Hi.
I have a problem.
I want create one filter to retrieve the last 30 days.
I try use:
Generate({ClosingPeriod([time].[month]).Lag(11):ClosingPeriod([time].[month])}, {[Time].currentmember.LastChild})
or
[Year].[Month].[Day].lastchild.lag(30)
But dont works (often the down the services)
Thanks!!!!

Hi,
First difference between BPC and BW cubes is Type of the cube. BPC cubes are Real Time infocubes ( Read/Write), but BW cubes Standard Cubes (Read only)
Secondly grouping of dimensions in BPC will be decided by system. As you know while creating any type of cube system will allow us to create 13 dimensions(BW dimensions - Group of Chars) apart from standard 3 dimensions (total is 16).
Each BPC dimension ( Char in BW terminology) will be one BW Dimension in the cube. If you have more than BPC dimensions then system will group all dimensions from 13 onwards under one dimension called Last Dimension .
Full Optimization will restructuring of infocube, if you have more than 13 dimensions.System will rearrange dimension group automatically based on data to optimize the performance.
Grouping of dimensions under BPC cube is not in our hands. It will be done by the system.
Hope it helps..

Raju

Unable to refresh structure for Universe based on SAP cubes

Hi ,
We have installed the XI R2 integration kit on Unix server successfully. WebI & Crystal are working fine on SAP data.
But when I try to refresh the structure of BW query based universe the option doesn't show up (It's greyed out).
I tried 'refresh structure' option on efashion universe and it works fine.
Also, in the Designer login I dont see SAP authentication type as an option. Do we have to install any integration kit for Client as well?
(BO is installed on Unix server)
Please help me out with these problems.
Thanks,
Shesha.

Hi Shesha,
This is only available in XI 3.0 onwards.
You will find this in the "What's new in BusinessObjects XI 3.0 for SAP solutions" guide.
Lifecycle management and customization of SAP BW universes
Refresh SAP BW universe structure
You can now refresh SAP BW universes to take into account SAP metadata
updates. Universe objects and filters can be automatically updated, added,
removed, or even hidden. Multiple options are available to keep or discard
modifications which were done after initial universe creation.
SAP BW universe customization
You can now customize SAP BW universes by manually inserting new
dimensions, measures, and details, and updating the default folder
organization. You can also insert new query filters.

OLAP Universe

New to Universes ***
i have created an OLAP universe from MSAS 2005 cube. Each dimension object contains a detail attribute named KEY0. However, I can see the value of KEY0 only on the "(All)" object and all have a value of 0. The other KEY0 details can be queried, but are empty.
Is KEY0 the 'unique' member value and why can't i see it?
Many thanks...

Hi,
There is no additional license required to use OLAP universes excepted for SAP NW that requires SAP Integration kit.
But if you want to use OLAP universes on any OLAP data source supported by the product you need to install the middleware before to create connections.
For Essbase you need to install a compatible Essbase client version dependening on your Essbase server.
If you are using OLAP Intelligence you need an addtional license.

Hierarchies on Universe on top of MSAS cube

All,
I have created an Universe on top of a MSAS 2005 cube. I am using BOXI3.1 base version.
1. I noticed that none of the already predefined hierarchies in the cube get automatically set as custom hierarchies in the BO Universe.
I would need to manually set the hierarchies again on the Universe. Is this working as designed or am i missing something here?

Thanks Didier.
However if i activate the drill-down in a webi report based on cube universe , i am unable to perform any slice/dice or drilling based on these default hierarchies.
Just to rephrase the question: the MSAS cube has these custom hierarchies which you can use through proclarity or excel..however when universe is created on top the cube..those custom hierarchies are not flowing in as a part of the creation.
Let me know if this is function as designed.
