Where is my dimension member

I created a new dimension member in P_ACCT and create a dimension logic (very simple arithmetic). Saved to server and processed the dimension.
My EVDRE doesn't show the new member. tried ALL, BASEMEMBERS, DEP .. doesn't show up.
Restarted desktop assuming it is a cache issue. Expand All, Refresh Workbook ... nothing changed.
Yes, i made sure the member is part of the key & member range I provided in EVDRE.

Hi,
If you click on the dimension in the CV, does your newly added member appear there? If no, then you need to do a full processing of the dimension and then process your application also. Then login to excel through connection wizard. If this still doesnt solve the issue, then run the program UJA_REFRESH_DIM_CACHE in SAP GUI.
Hope this helps.

MDX: Selecting specific dimension member and its descendants from parent child dimension where dimension member names can be same in dimension hierarchy

I'm creating a SSRS report using SSAS cube as a source.
When creating a dataset for the report, I'm having trouble with MDX to select a specific dimension member and its descendants from parent child dimension where dimension member names can be same in dimension hierarchy.
Lets say for example that I have an account dimension where,
In level 02 I have company ID:s 101, 102, 103 and so on...
In level 03 I have Balance sheet
In level 04 I have some account groups, Assets, Liabilities and so on... and In level 05 I have individual accounts
How can I select for example company 102:s Assets from level 04 and its descendants?
Normally in adventure works I would do this if I've wanted Current Assets and its descendants:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Amount] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
{ (DESCENDANTS([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 03].[Current Assets]) ) } ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
But in my Account dimension at level 04 I have Assets member as many times as I have companies in level 02.

Hi Tuomo Helminen,
To this requirement of yours, I would recommend you use Cascading Parameters in Reporting services, you can refer to this FAQ How do I create cascading parameters when using cube database in Reporting Services at this link

Performance issue:Show id and Description for same dimension member

Hi,
I am connecting a cube to another reporting system and i need to show the id of member resulting of a query.My first thought was to use this kind of code (bellow) however when i do the same thing with many dimension (many cross join ),it slow down a lot
my query.So how can i have in the same DImension member showing a description and id ? I also have a lot of statement,so i can't have just two columns in the dimension or i will need to duplication the mdx and i could drop down the performance.
So i am trying to get as a result
Dim1 | Dim2| Dim3| Measure
1 50
32 25.2
and also be able to get
Dim1 | Dim2 | Dim3
| Measure
NameElement1Dim1 NameElement50Dim2
NameElement32Dim3 25.2
Thanks in advance
with MEMBER [Measures].[IdElement] as
<element>.currentmember.properties("KEY")

} on columns,

but i have multiple

Hi Vincent,
In your query, you use CrossJoin in it. Crossjoin function will cause the performance issue if there are a lot of properties that need to be displayed. If you cross-join medium-sized or large-sized sets (e.g., sets that contain more than 100 items each),
you can end up with a result set that contains many thousands of items—enough to seriously impair performance. For the detail information, please see:
http://sqlmag.com/data-access/cross-join-performance
In your MDX query, ensure only retrieval the required data. Here are some useful links for your reference.

Delete data for a single dimension member

Is there anyway to delete all the data for a single dimension member from a particular cube?
olap version: 11.2.0.3

Nasar's approach should work, so I would use it so long as it performs well. But I have (several years ago) seen performance issues with CLEAR VALUES when it is applied to something smaller than an entire partition. So here is another method that also uses the FOR...BUILD construct. It clears the value of the PRICE measure in PRICE_COST_CUBE for PRODUCT = '48'. The cube has only two dimensions, TIME and PRODUCT, and I only want to assign to the leaf level of TIME, which is MONTH.
BEGIN
DBMS_CUBE.BUILD(Q'!
   "PRICE_COST_CUBE" USING(
    FOR
     "TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH"),
     "PRODUCT" WHERE "PRODUCT".DIM_KEY = '48'
    BUILD (SET PRICE_COST_CUBE.PRICE = NULL ))!',
    PARALLELISM=>0,
    ADD_DIMENSIONS=>FALSE);
END;
/You can increase parallelism here if your cube is partitioned. If you need to clear out other measures at the same time, then add additional SET command in the central block. E.g.
BUILD
SET PRICE_COST_CUBE.PRICE = NULL,
SET PRICE_COST_CUBE.COST = NULL
)After this step you can re-aggregate the cube to make the aggregate values reflect the change.
BEGIN
DBMS_CUBE.BUILD(Q'!
   "PRICE_COST_CUBE" USING(
    FOR
     "TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH"),
     "PRODUCT" WHERE "PRODUCT".DIM_KEY = '48'
    BUILD (SET PRICE_COST_CUBE.PRICE = NULL ),
    SOLVE)!',
    PARALLELISM=>0,
    ADD_DIMENSIONS=>FALSE);
END;
/The simple assignment to NULL will generate a simple assignment in the OLAP DML.
PRICE_COST_CUBE_STORED=NAYou can force the code to loop over the existing composite by replacing NULL with something that evaluates to NULL, but involves the composite.
SET PRICE_COST_CUBEW.PRICE = NVL2(NULL, PRICE_COST_CUBE.PRICE, NULL)Here is the generated OLAP DML assignment.
PRICE_COST_CUBEW_STORED=NVL2(NA, GLOBAL.GLOBAL!PRICE_COST_CUBEW_PRICE
, NA) ACROSS GLOBAL.GLOBAL!PRICE_COST_CUBEW_COMPOSITE

Dimension Member Sheet Timeouts?

Hi - We have a client running BPC 10 MS, Service Pack 11. They are on SQL Server 2008.
They're noticing timeout issues with their dimension member sheets. Anytime an admin goes in to update a dimension member sheet, after five minutes, it times out where even after they close out of the member sheet or even log off and back into BPC, they cannot access the sheet anymore - because the system tells them that another user (they, themselves) is still logged in and has the sheet open. This person is the only one with admin rights so noone else is even touching the membersheets.
Eventually, the issue seems to go away. After an undetermined amount of time, the "lock" on the member sheet goes away. But it's a real nuisance.
Any idea if there's a timeout setting, either in BPC or in SQL server that can be adjusted? They've also been noticing this only for the last 2 - 3 weeks, so they're not sure if maybe a patch or service pack update on the SQL Server side or server side could be causing this.
Any ideas?

Hi Khartik,
this error seems caused by the behaviour of excel with the add-in, when you open a dimension under it run excel on the server and this excel caused the issue, see please this note for the explanation and for a workaround 1751650 - Error message "The process cannot access the file %filename% because it is being used by another process"
Please don't forget to close the threads after solved.

Remove Dimension Member

Hi
I want to remove a dimension member from a dimension.
To do this, I create a maintenance script with only one step.
This step includes a OLAP DML command in witch the following code is written (General tab):
call remove_dimension_member('1', 'DIM_2', NA, NO) In the Measures tab I selected only one measure, because you have to select at least one.
In the Status tab I leave the default selections.
After running this maintenance script, the following Error occurs:
<font color="red">INI: error creating a definition manager, Generic at TxsOqConnection::generic<BuildProcess>INI: XOQ-00703: error executing OLAP DML command "(call remove_dimension_member('1', 'DIM_2', NA, NO) : ORA-37162: OLAP error

)", Generic at TxsOqAWManager::executeCommand
</font>
When I run the same DML-Command in OLAP-Worksheet, it works.
Do I something wrong?
Thank you for any help.
Markus

The OLAP DML program, remove_dimension_member, is implemented using DBMS_CUBE.BUILD. So by calling it within a build script you are effectively calling DBMS_CUBE.BUILD from within DBMS_CUBE.BUILD, which is not supported. This is why you get the error message "xsoqBuildRecursive DBMS_CUBE.BUILD not supported".
The obvious workaround is to execute the call outside of the contents of a maintenance script, but here is a (non AWM) workaround if you really need to integrate with DBMS_CUBE.BUILD.
If you execute the remove_dimension_member in OLAP Worksheet, you can then look at the contents of the CUBE_BUILD_LOG for the latest build to see how it all connects. Here is an example I ran from SQL*Plus
SQL > execute dbms_aw.execute(q'!
call remove_dimension_member('APR-2011', 'TIME', NA, NO)!')
IMPORTANT: Analytic workspace TEST_AW is read-only. Therefore, you will not be
able to use the UPDATE command to save changes to it.

BUILD NO COMMIT "TIME" USING (DELETE FROM DIMENSION WHERE MEMBER = 'APR-2011')This means that you can delete a member directly using DBMS_CUBE.BUILD as follows. Note I removed the keyword BUILD when running this through DBMS_CUBE.BUILD.
begin
dbms_cube.build(q'!
NO COMMIT "TIME" USING (DELETE FROM DIMENSION WHERE MEMBER = 'APR-2011')
end;
/Remove the NO COMMIT if you want the build to commit your change (as opposed to keeping in a READ ONLY session).

Need to change dimension member in context based on the member property

Hi,
When i select the one particular entity i.e. E_1100 , it having the currency property is INR, this currency has to change the RPTCURRENCY dimension member i.e. INR. in the context member.
Context is locked for the users.
for example:
In context i have Entity dimension, RPTcurrency dimension
E_1100 INR.
In report user having the select parameter for the Entity Dimension. Now he has selected the E_1200 in the report , but it has currency property is USD
now the RPT Currency dimension should have to display the USD in the Context.
Please anybody help me.
Regards.
Surya

Hi Surya,
you can achieve this using simple VBA code. Use below vba code for overriding the context member. assign this code to button. it will change the context member.
Copy paste below code in one module and assign this code to the button.
First Enable FPMXLClient
Dim epm As New FPMXLClient.EPMAddInAutomation
Sub change context()
Dim CONNE As String
CONNE = epm.GetActiveConnection(ActiveSheet)
'To set context
epm.SetContextMember CONNE, "CURRENCY", Range("A1")
'To refresh
epm.RefreshActiveWorkBook
End Sub
where CURRENCY==> use your dimension name whose context want to change
Range("A1") ==> In A1 cell Populate property using EPMMemberproperty()
Basically we will set context member and refresh the workbook.After selection of the entity click on button so macro will run and context member will gets override in the Context Bar.

Sushant

Not sure where it is documented, but you can not calculate what you are fixing on. To me it seems a bit odd, but I believe the logic is, if it is sparese and you are fixing on it, how can you fix on what might not be there? If it is sparse, fix on all the other sparse dimensions thenFix (....) CYG_BILAN ( CYG_BILAN = ....; )EndFiX;Also, if it sparse, make sure the block exists (either datacopy data into it or set 'CREATE BLOCK ON EQUATION' on - I tend to copy data into it).If it is dense, you wouldn't want to fix on it anyway.Rich SullivanBeacon Analytics

How to get the ID of a dimension member in script logic?

Hi everybody,
I am working in some logic scripts and I wonder if exists any option to get the current member ID of a dimension in order to concatenate a string using the member referred and an additional set of caracters such as: MEMBER_ID&"_ccccc".
Moreover, I would like to use this ID dimension member in order to filter members of another dimension whose attribute is equal to the ID of the desired member. Is it feasible?
In conclusion, is it possible to get a variable which is referred to a member ID of a dimension, and using it in order to filtering other dimensions?
Many thanks in advance,
Antonio

Hi Antonio,
You ask if it is possible compare a dimension id with a property value.. yes it is posible , for doing that you will have to do something like this,
*FOR %ACC1%=ThisA,ThisB,ThisC
      *WHEN DIMENSION.PROPERTY=%ACC1%
              *REC(............)
       *ENDWHEN
*NEXT
if you want to concatenate using a filter theres a posibility, like this example using the time dimension.
*xdim_memberset time=%year%.jan -
>2011.jan
hope it helps

Error: Invalid dimension member with special character / in BPC NW 7.5 SP7

Hi experts,
We are encountering the following problem in our Financial Planning application.
We are migrating our existing BPC solution from one server to another through backup and restore. The existing solution was on BPC NW 7.5 SP 5. The profit_centre dimension in the existing solutions has several member ids with special character '/' (forward slash). The dimension never threw an error when processed in the existing solution and there is planning transactional data against these member ids.
While the entire configration , appset , files were successfully restored through UJBR on the new system (BPC 7.5 SP7) through UJBR (backup and restore), the masterdata could not be restored only for this Profit_centre (masterdata for other dimensions were processed successfullu). All the member ids with / are rejected for this dimension. The same error is thrown if processed through the admin client from the member sheet.
Error: Dimension member PC_FF/WS/NT is an invalid member ID
Error in Admin module
Is there any setting which need to be made to allow / character in member ids? Any suggestion to get around this problem would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Abhiman

Hi Abhiman,
Yes, you need to maintain the transformation file to correct all dimension member IDs. Can you please refer to the following link with a similar issue:

How to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS

hi,
would any one please help me how to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS
THANK U IN ADVANCE

In your OLAP model, view columns for the base dimension table. Go into the column properties and for the columns that have Attribute values highlight them and click the Attribute button.
Go into Metadata Model and those fields will be available to drag into your outline as attribute members.
Once in the outline, go into the properties of the attribute and assign the level of the base dimension they associate with.

Reading data from a text file into PAS - Dimension member names truncated

Hi,
I created a procedure to dump variables and data into a text file to load into another model. I used a semicolon as a field seperator.
The data, measures and dimension members are dumped properly into a text file and no dimension member names are truncated .
However when I read the data into a measure, and I issue a peek command, dimension meber names are read in truncated
and remain full names in the text file. Any reason for this? What do I need to do to prevent this from happening?
THanks.
Lungile

Hi Lungile,
The problem that you're likely having is that you haven't created a file description for the file from which you're reading. When loading data into Application Server from a text file, you would normally go through three steps:
1. Enter the ACCESS EXTERNAL subsystem
2. Specify the name of the file to be read
3. Specify the format of the file field names, types, widths, and positions.
If you go into the Application Server help, select "Application Server Help", then "Application Server at the command level", then "Variables and reading in data", and then "Reading an external file", you will have the process of the steps you need to follow outlined for you, including links to the help topic for each command you need to issue.
So what I think you need to do is use the DESCRIPTION command to specify the names of your fields, their type, and also their width, in order to ensure no truncation of data on the load.
The same DESCRIPTION statement is required if you want to use your text file as the source of a dimension.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Error selecting a dimension member in BPC EPM report - The given key was not present in the dictionary

Hi,
We are currently running SAP BPC 10.1 NW on Hana
Version:
CPMBPC 810 SP 4
SAP_BW 740 SP 9
HANABPC 810 SP 4
EPM Excel Add-in 10 SP 21 .NET 4 build 9094.
On my embedded model. I have a BEX query on a aggregation level which I access in a report using the EPM Add-in Excel .
When I edit my report in EPM Add-in Excel , and I try to select the dimension members for a selected dimension member, I get the following error.
"The given key was not present in the dictionary"
Any assistance to help resolve the problem will be appreciated.
Regards
Gavin

Hi Shrikant,
I had a look at MBR_SEQ , it is a attribute on the dimension member in BW , this relates to a past version of BPC 7.5. We are currently on BPC 10.1 Embedded model , and the MBR_SEQ does not exist on any of the characteristics I have in my info cube.
When I create a web report I am able to access the dimension members using the select dimensions options, the problem seems to be on the EPM Add-in Excel client only.
Thanks

How to migrate dimension member text files from ODI to Hyperion Planning

Hi
We are having an issue with ODI that it was not connecting to planning.
Later with some instructions from oracle, we have tried to set some RMI path in websphere and we tested the RMI connectivity test.
It was successfully connecting to planning.
Then we want to test that ODI is connecting to planning or not.
For this I think if anyone can send the doc relating to dimension member upload thru ODI to hyperion planning using text files, it will be helpful.
Appreciate if anyone can help us on this.
Please communicate to [email protected] for doc sending.
Thanks
Rajesh Reddy

Go through His(John's) earlier blogs which very clearly explains how to get connected & keep the ball rolling.
If you're so scared to use the existing connections, you may want to-
i) Set up new Master & work repository;
ii) Do few quick configurations from Topology Manager;
iii) Create your project, models, Interface;
Let us know if something isn't still clear.

Why to open Block only with Dense dimension Member ???

Hi All,
I want to understand the logic behind opening the block with dense member. Generally we open the block with member of dense dimension by fixing the sparse members
e.g. below considering C1, P1,Working,Actual are members of sparse dimension customer, product, Version, Scenario.
Fix(C1,P1,Working,Actual)
Jan
IF(Some condition)
Calculation on Account Member
ENDIF
Now if i change the code as below making Jan in FIX and opening the block with Actual. How it will affect the performance. The Number of iterations in total number of datacells will be same in bothe cases above and below then why to give priority to dense dimension member for opening the block.
Fix(C1,P1,Working,Jan)
Actual
IF(Some condition)
Calculation on Account Member
ENDIF
ENDFIX
I know the logic behind keeping sparse dimension member in FIX but here i think keeping 'Actual' member for opening the block is also a type of fix which will tell the code to do the calculation only for blocks of 'Actual'.
In 1st case i have fixed the number of blocks containing members C1,P1,Working,Actual and by keeping Jan for opening block means Jan is also fixed for the particular application means code will not run for feb march etc.
Means code will run for C1->P1->Working>Actual->Jan
In 2nd case also i have fixed C1,P1,Working,Jan and by keeping Actual for opening block means Actual is also fixed for the particular application means code will not run for other members of Scenarion dimension.
Means code will run for C1->P1->Working>Jan->Actual
Then what is the difference??? Why it will effect performance???

when using an IF statement in a calc script you have to specify a member to associate it with for the calc member block. This is like temporarily assigning it to that member as a formula in the outline. In most cases calculations on dense dimensions can work faster as the block is in memory. Remember that a block statement can have multiple calculation statements in it. When this occurs, having the calculations on a dense member can speed it up as it may not have to swap blocks to do the calculation.
Also consider that if a sparse combination of members does not exist, the block will not exist and there will be no attempt to do the calculations. If a sparse member is on the calc member block, it will cycle through all of the sparse members looking to do the calculation.
