• Sharing the values of substitution variables complex between ASO and BSO of databases

  We ASO and Essbase BSO names of members of database with spaces in and need to store some of these member names in the substitution variables. However, this should be done differently for ASO and BSO, due to script syntax calc requiring double quotes and MDX requiring hooks. For example:
  
  ASO:
  & CurWeek value = 1 week
  MDX: [& CurWeek]
  
  ASF:
  & CurWeek value = "week 1".
  Calc script: & CurWeek
  
  Therefore, the substitution variables can be shared between ASO and BSO, cubes because the value of the variable BSO requires double quotes because of the space in the name of the Member.
  
  Is there a way to get the above to work with ASO and OSB? Unable to escape the quotes in the calc script syntax? Or double quotes can be removed in the MDX formula?

  Yuck! I'm curious to see if someone has a really elegant solution to this. :)

  I'm sure you have seen this already, but a workaround is to create an alias that is not a space (or probably better, use a name without a space Member but leave some space in the alias).

  What is your specific motivation to avoid the solution two variables? If it is purely of synchronization, do not forget that even with a variable unique no guarantees of the formulas of Member ASO and BSO calc scripts will be always synchronized without a response, because the formulas (by the SER60) pick up not a new value until the application is restarted.

• ASO and BSO entry levels

  Hi, a parent may be an entry in a level cube ASO/OSB? If Yes, is there a property that must be set so that the data can be loaded at the parent level or essbase accept by default? Thanks for your help.

  ASO does not accept entries from parent level.

  OSI does by default. However just because it is, does not say that it is a good idea. I imagine that someone will chime in with more details.

• Update the metadata/data in the cube considered ASO of BSO

  Hi Experts,
  
  I'm creating a cube of ASO reports and would like to know the best way to automate the update of metadata and data of a BSO cube without the use of a partition? This is my first time with ASO. Any idea or examples would be much appreciated. Please notify.
  
  Thanks in advance!

  Use the command 'clear data' in calc script or its all in your script report how you extract... :))

• Data extract - source ASO to BSO target

  Hello
  
  Client wants to retrieve wound of members of a dimension sku # a Cube ASO to the BSO Cube. Excerpts from OSI to ASO data are normally quite simple with DATAEXPORT. However, since ASO cannot run traditional calc scripts I'm wondering if there are methods to extract data from ASO to OSB? ASO does not store the values t rollled - it? So if it not is not wouldn't that eliminate partitioning option? Also, does ASO sopport report Scripts? Curious as not a guru of the ASO.
  
  Thank you

  You can have an XREF on the OSB by extracting data from the database of the ASO, though I wouldn't have thought that would help and xrefs can be slow.
  Try other options:- Re: extraction of ASO cube data

• Cube ASO with BSO Partition as a target

  Hello
  
  Can someone please explain to me the following because I'm not able to understand, after reading various articles and other documents Essbase
  
  What is the actual use to have a partition BSO Transparent (target) of a cube ASO (source)?
  
  Exactly how does the Write-Back functionality if I have a transparent wall BSO (target) of a cube ASO (source)?
  
  And finally, in that companies first scenario would implement a transparent wall BSO (target) of a cube ASO (source)?
  
  Your help is very appreciated.
  
  Thank you
  
  Mickael

  I will explain a simple business case that we use in our systems.
  Actual expenditures are loaded into the ASO cube at the day level.
  In the BSO cube, we will maintain budget and forecasts at the level of the month.
  The two strokes are synchronized except the time dimension.
  Transperent partition is created from ASO (source) to OSI (target) for actual expenditures and months.
  This will help the BSO users by reading the actulas comparison purposes when they do adjustemnts budget and the forecas.
  Here there no problem in writing to the budget and forecast in the BSO cube and users are not supposed to do any writing to the actual numbers.

• DataExport ASO vs BSO

  BSO a DataExport creates a file named & saved on the location of the server specified in the calc script.
  
  If you are working on ASO & can write only a report script,
  is there a way to name the file in the report script to place on the server, not a local record?

  If I understand the question within the report script to specify the location of the report. This isn't how it works for scripts to report. As you say of EAS, you can specify the location before the script running (console, file, or printer). If you run this in batch mode, (Esscmd or MaxL) then you must specify in the order export. It's not like dataexport where you must specify the location of the output in the calc script, two things work differently

• Plannoing application and ASO cube

  Hello
  
  To my knowledge when we create a planning application and create the database, it creates a cube BSO.
  
  But we had a call today with Oracle and they suggested to use cube ASO with planning. Is it possible to have a cube ASO for a planning application?
  
  Then, in the same call we had with Oracle, they suggested using Smartlists for ASO essbase cube. Is it possible to have Smartlists for essbase applications. Cause SmartLists are drop downs, which can be used in web forms. How can we use smartlists in the worksheet? Using smartview?

  Typical measures Essbase are simular to a Smart list in the schedule. You can use it in ASO and BSO.

• Performing calculations BSO against ASO

  which is better to use if you need to run large calculations? (Essbase Version 11)

  Endowments have been introduced in ASO in 11.1.2. They are made in memory and create slices of data. In theory, this could be faster than the allowance made in OSB, especially if you agg cube to get what is allocated. In addition, you bring in the cells of a few blocks. I can't give you an answer honost because I have not yet tried large allocations of ASO. I will say that if they are complicated, it will take a lot more work to implement in ASO by BSO. In addition, if you actually use the function of allocation in OSB, it can be quite slow. You also get the question of creation of block at the time.

  I guess that the onl; y thing I can advise is to implement tests in ASO and BSO and see which works better.

• Cubes of financiers as ASO?

  Hello
  
  One of my clients is planning to convert its BSO cubes to ASO to improve loading and calculation times. Cubes contain financial data and are used to generate financial statements (P & L, balance sheet, cash flow, etc.) for the current and future years. These cubes also hold forecasts given outside actual expenditures, which are responsible for the ERP system.
  
  Now, I am aware of the fundamental differences between the structure of the ASO and BSO cubes - I worked on financial BSO cubes and of simple cubic ASO in the past.
  
  But depending on complexity of financial forecasting applications, this idea of the conversion of BSO ASO feasible and viable? Can do the complex calculations of BSO cube in these cubes managed by MDX in ASO?
  
  Indications will be useful.
  
  Thanks in advance
  
  
  G.S.

  Hello

  We have a similar requirement of our customer. Only calculations that can be converted are the member formulas. If you have a lot of scripts of calculations, it can become very difficult. Also remember that Aso, you can only enter at level 0. So if you non-niveau entries 0 members, you will lose this feature. Under x 11, ASO supports time of balance sheet accounts, so it's a good thing if you have a balance report.

• Model Time Design credits and Crossover exercise

  Hi all
  My question was generic Time Design and model Crossover of the year, although I read on the same messages in the forum but I'm unable to view the same.
  A design generic time dimension would have design time divided in two dimensions while the exercise includes the months, years into one single so dimensional.
  
  My questions are:
  (1) someone can pls help me with an example for both? so to understand them more logically.
  (2) can be used for either ASO and BSO cubes?
  (3) I read somewhere that - in the generic model, months, quarters and years have no identification exercise so that in the crossover model year, months, quarters and years have the job of identifying wired in the names of members... I don't know what the ID exercise means more here! so help with that also.
  
  Thank you very much
  
  Kind regards
  Richa

  My questions are:
  (1) someone can pls help me with an example for both? so to understand them more logically.

  What you call generics would years periods (month) and neighbourhoods sometimes weeks in one dimension and the years in a separate dimension. It is good if you want to cross tab years which intersect with periods of declaration. It is also good in a model BSO becaue you can make few years and reduce the time of calc. It is not good if you want to go to day and want the fisscal and the Gregorian. It also complicates certain calculations.
  In a single time dimension model, you have the quarters and the weeks of the month and day in a single hierarchy. You need to concatinate the year descendants to make the unique member names. This works well if you do the math but can make very large size according to the number of years.

  (2) can be used for either ASO and BSO cubes?

  Yes, both can be used in each model. If you use the wizard of time in ASO it will create as a single dimension with a number of dimensions of the attribute.

  (3) I read somewhere that - in the generic model, months, quarters and years have no identification exercise so that in the crossover model year, months, quarters and years have the job of identifying wired in the names of members... I don't know what the ID exercise means more here! so help with that

  Too much.

  As I mentioned in the first question the year gets concatinated to the descendants, then it would look like

  FY10
  -Q1FY10
  -JanFY10
  -FebFY10
  ...
  FY11
  -Q1FY11
  -JanFY11
  etc.

• loading of the ASO

  Hi guru,.
  
  is someone can you please tell me how the loading process is different in aso and bso? can we use the incremental data load process in aso only model. as on the contrary the loading data for the whole year can load us data for the last three months. or does run every time full load
  
  Thank you

  BSO charges directly to the database, ASO in a buffer, then committed to the database. You have more control over the process with ASO, which allows more flexible incremental loads. You can load incrementally with BSO, but aggregation can become a problem. With ASO, you can progressively load and not prevent users to keep reports while the load is in progress.

• Essbase default alias appears in the analysis

  Hello

  OLIVIER 11.1.1.7.1

  Essbase 11.1.2.1

  I have an Essbase overview with an entity dimension that has an Alias called by default.  After you import the cube in OBI I right click on the cube, select 'Create Table Alias columns' then Member_Name.  I don't see any visible changes in the physical layer which is expected.  Then I drag all of the cube to the MDB layer let OBI create it and then slide to the presentation layer.  When I add the column of Hiearchical entity / add columns entity Gen3 Gen4 or Gen5 in one analysis all I see are the names of the members and not the alias.  When the creation of the MDB OBI layer created a column of default entity that shows the value of the Alias when I add the columns Gen3 Gen4 or Gen5 however it does show that the Alias for the column of production low, i.e. If the Gen4 and Gen5 are the column default entity analysis shows only aliases for Gen5.

  When I look into the physical layer in the display column Table Cube Properties is on the names of the members with the grey alias option button.  The interesting part is that when I click View members in the physical layer, I see only the names of borrowing which is what I want to see.

  How OBI to only show aliases and not the names of members for each column of GenX and Hiearchical column?

  Thank you in advance!

  MIke

  
  

  Redo the import. After the initial import, go to the creation of the cube. Choose Alias or use the Variable. This works. I've set up 11.1.1.7.0 and 11.1.1.7.1 with Essbase ASO and BSO.
