• Creation of multiple dimensions with the rule files

  Hello
  Is it posible to create multiple dimensions using rules file. I managed to create 1 Dimension using the rules file, but I need to create two dimension using rules (customer and Distribution_Channel) file.
  Help, please.
  
  -Amit

  Hello

  You need the files in separate rules for the construction of separate dimensions.
  You can use the same metadata file well.

  So, you must create 3 files of rules for the 3 dimensions.

• Essbase error when you try to change the dimension through the rule files

  Hi Knowledgebank.
  
  I'm new to Essbase. I'm trying to change my dimension through the rule files and Iam getting error (Dimension build setings).
  
  Example:
  
  My current dimensiion is:
  
  MARKET TOTAL
  ASIA
  Singapore
  CHINA
  HONG KONG
  NORTH AMERICA
  SOUTH AMERICA
  
  
  I am trying to add a few new countries of SOUTH AMERICA and I can't. Is there a step by step guide to achieve this?
  I'm following the documentationi but still errors.
  
  Help on this is going to help me go further.
  
  Note:-I am able to load the data successfully.

  'TOTAL MARKET' 'COUNTRY'--> header I have jump while loading
  'SOUTH AMERICA' 'BRAZIL '.
  'SOUTH AMERICA' 'ARGENTINA '.

  As above, your first file is correct if you use generation referance.
  Your mapping in the rules file should be like this.
  Gen2, Gen3 TOTAL MARKET, MARKET TOTAL
  'SOUTH AMERICA' 'BRAZIL '.
  'SOUTH AMERICA' 'ARGENTINA '.

  For generation Referance always starts on Gen2.
  Gen1 sets the level of the dimension. If the dimension is not there, you must set in the definition of dimension not in Field1.

• Loading data to Essbase with ODI rules file

  Hi all
  
  I need to load the flat file DATA (no metadata) or an Oracle table in to ESSBASE using ODI.
  
  Where can I find an example or a tutorial on the loading procedure.
  I have not have how to use ODI with a rules file:
  
  (1) in the standard rule file I can insert a transformation (join, split ecc.) can be used
  a rule like this in ODI file?
  
  (2) if I put the file of IKM SQL for Hyperion Essbase (DATA) rules I have to manually set the mapping
  between the source and target? the mapping is not set in the rule file?
  
  (3) can I use both the type of rules (flat file or SQL) file?
  
  
  Thanks a lot for your help!

  If you go to the next page in my blog, you should see a link to all the different posts around ODI and hyperion knowledge modules - http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2011/08/odi-series-summary.html

  In ODI, you can do all the transformations, the rule of the load is really used to optimize the process of loading the data.
  You must configure your interface with source and target mapping, and then create a rule to load that corresponds to the mapping of the target.
  You can use any type of source.

• Adapter ODI for Hyperion planning

  Hi gurus,

  I have problem with definition for Hyperion planning server data connection. What database server, I need to use for the connection of Hyperion Planning. Planning of the app is on separate servers that the cube. Cube is on Essbase server. This means that I need to two different connections, one for the data (essbase cube) for metadata (server when considering app). Is this really?

  I made only one connection on essbase server and try reverse engineering to cube essbase, which I made with the planning, of model, but it gives me an error:

  [com.hyperion.odi.planning.ODIPlanningException: com.hyperion.odi.planning.ODIPlanningException: could not connect to the instance of planning on host hostname], [port] port, check if connect you are correct.

  Thank you

  I put port 11333 on the server where is installed my workspace for planning, and finally I managed model of reverse engineering for Hyperion planning.

• The IKM selector selection error: IKM SQL for Hyperion Planning

  Hello
  
  On the tab 'Flow' of my model, I click on my head to target. Then on the drop down 'Selector IKM', select 'IKM SQL for Hyperion Planning. It gives the error:
  
  Internal error: ODI-15526: IKM IKM SQL for Hyperion Planning not accepted for stage director and target technology
  
  
  Any ideas? I am really new green on ODI and I am at the end to try to run my dimension build. Any help is appreciated.

  You must select a transit area which is different to the planning, because this isn't an intermediate technology supported. What you need to do is to go to the tab definition of your interface tick the 'target different transit zone"and then select a relational technology (that is, one that takes supported SQL) in the drop-down list below. If you have no relational db on stage your data and then select ENGINE SUNOPSIS MEMORY which is the memory in DB that is provided as part of the ODI.

• Why do we not use port no. 11333 for Hyperion planning?

  Why do we not use port no. 11333 for Hyperion, planning for metadata by ODI?

  More, what you need to know, when you deploy planning you will see that there is a process of 'Java RMI Registry' / service, it works on port 13333. The planning adapter communicates with the RMI registry and then communicates with the planning. If you need to know more, then look for "Java RMI" on the internet.

• ATTRPARENT dimension of the text attribute to several levels of construction with a rules file

  Hello

  My first post here.

  I'm trying to create the dimension generation rule to create a dimension of the multilevel text attribute and then combine with the basic dimension.

  So far, it is difficult.

  With regard to my experience:

  -J' have a relatively basic understanding of the rules of charge both with regard to the data loads and define the updates - I find this quite confusing area and the documentation does not help that much

  -J' only started using dimensions attribute, so for me it's a new concept, but we are already quite useful in certain applications

  -J' I try to automate the process of construction of dimension attribute, and then associating attributes with the basic dimension

  I use the following documentation as a guide:

  Building size attribute and associate attributes

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E12825_01/EPM.111/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?dotdimb.htm

  and / or

  Work with the attribute multi-level Dimensions

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E26232_01/doc.11122/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?ch21s06s05.html

  (essentially the same source in both cases)

  The ultimate goal is to replicate one of our existing recently created attribute dimensions of a cube to another.

  I built a few versions of the required flat file and the corresponding rules file, but none worked.

  I tend to get the following validation error message:

  This field is defined as an ATTRPARENT. The following column must be a field of association attribute type.

  As I got stuck so I gave to the current actual attributes and moved on to experimenting with the sample / base cube.

  I built a flat file that is supposed to create a new dimension of text attribute named ABC with two attributes level structure:

  ABC

  A

  AA

  AB

  B

  BA

  BB

  and associate it with the dimension of the product in the following way

  200-10 AA

  200-20 AB

  200-30 BA

  200-40 BB

  The flat file looks like this:

  "AA"      "A"         "200-10"               "A"         "AA"      "200"

  "AB"      "A"         "200-20"               "A"         "AB"      "200"

  "AB"      "B"         "200-30"               "B"         "AB"      "200"

  "BB"       "B"         "200-40"               "B"         "BB"       "200"

  and the rule file has 6 matching columns with titles as follows:

  Level0, LEVEL1 ABC, ABC Level0, product ATTRPARENT0, ABC ABC0, LEVEL1 product, product

  all agree with what the documentation says.

  The first 2 columns are intended to define and create the dimension of the attribute, while the 4 next make association...

  I couldn't the above rules file to validate.

  The same validation error message appeared as previously:

  This field is defined as an ATTRPARENT. The following column must be a field of association attribute type.

  However when I tried to actually update the outline of the mistakes of dimbuild.err file has been created which gives some additional clues:

  \\ATTRPARENT column 4 must precede a numeric or datetime column attribute association

  Now... Finally the interesting part...

  Back to the documentation...
  

  I don't mind if the size of the attribute is generated and then those associated with step or in two separate steps.

  I try to do both tasks in one step only because that's what the documentation seems to suggest attributes at several levels.

  First of all I read:

  Note:

  If you work with a multilevel dimension attribute or with a dimension of the attribute of the digital type, Boolean, or date, the rules file requires an additional field. See working with Dimensions of the multilevel attribute.

  Yes, I work with a dimension of the multilevel attribute so the above statement applies (I guess) and so I'm going to see what works with several levels attribute Dimensions has to say.

  Then, I read:

  When an attribute is part of a digital multi-level, Boolean, or dimension attribute date, the source data must include columns for all generations or the size of the attribute levels.

  Fair enough... so I do what they say... my attribute dimension is at several levels, so I can assume that the statement above applies...

  So, I build my rule in accordance with the guidelines above.

  And then, as we have already mentioned, I get the error message about ATTRPARENT and when I read, it turns out that ATTRBPAREN cannot be used for numeric or date attribute dimensions !

  I'm totally confused at this point.

  What about the attribute text multi-level dimensions ?

  They are several levels but they are NOT numeric or date those!

  The documentation does not seem to tell what to do in this case...

  Anyone build something like that?

  What is the thing that I'm missing?

  What about

  I'm glad that you got to work. I tested and that is to create the dimension attribute and associate it with the rule of the load.

  You could ignore the construction size manually. Remove the attribute dimension. The rule1 go for the Dimension settings under the definition of Dimension tab. Then right-click on the product and change the properties. On the attribute tab, add 'Test' or whatever you want to call the attribute, and assign the text type. He adds the attribute and associate it with the basic dimension when it create the hierarchy. Note that the rules could actually be reversed where you create members of level 0 and then more later to create the hierarchy.  Of course you must pass the size of the attribute association to the other rule

• Construction of dimension with the construction of two methods

  Hi all
  
  Can we use two methods of generation in a file single rule?
  
  As: I have a source file with members (Columns) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. can I use generation generation for 1 to 5 columns and parent and child for column 6 and 7? Sorry if my question is stuipid!
  I use 9.3.1 essbase on windows

  I think I'll be the unfavorable vote here. Yes, you can have two different construction methods in the same rule of charge with the stipulation that you build different dimensions. For example, areas 1 to 5 are used to create accounts and 6-8 are building product. Accounts can be built with loads of production, while the products are built with level loads.
  If it's the same size maybe you could rearrange the columns in order to have a unique method of sustainable construction. In some cases, I had to use the same file in two different dimension generation rules, but not often.

• Is it possible: Loading SQL with generic rule file?

  Hello
  When you load a flat file into Essbase, can be defined in the header of the data load domain names. In the load data, dimension names given and at the end of the data. In the file rule under Options > properties of data source > header reference could be made to this line. It works very well.
  
  We want to load the data with SQL in the same way. A load rule with a variable substitution for the selection view and we can use it for every load of data. We specified the name of dimension in the table column header. The data column has been defined as 'data' - without the quotes.
  
  The result is so far, it does not load.
  The question is - did someone tried this before and can help me on this?
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  Kind regards
  Philip Hulsebosch
  www.trexco.nl

  the data column can be repersented in several ways, as I do usually is to set for the Member, it belongs to. In my example where your variable substitution & currmth is "Jan" then "Jan" would be the name of the column. The next month when the var void changes to Feb, on Feb.

• Build dimension using the rules file

  I use Oracle Hyperion worm 9.3.1. So that the dimensions of formatting built using the rule file, I came across the 'JOIN' and 'Create Join using' options. Can someone help me to know the difference between these two options?
  
  Published by: 873675 on July 20, 2011 12:25 AM

  The documentation explains the difference with examples, now I was going to post the link, but I might as well post the info from the link.

  Join the fields

  You can join several fields into one. The new field is given the name of the first field in the join. For example, if a data source has separate fields for the number of product (100) and the family of products (-10), you must join the fields (100-10) before loading in the Sample.Basic database.

  Create a field by joining fields

  You can reach the fields by placing fields joined in a new field. This procedure leaves intact original fields. Creating a field is useful if you need concatenate the fields of the data source to create a member.

  For example, if a data source has separate fields for the number of product (100) and the family of products (-10), you must join the fields (100-10) before loading in the Sample.Basic database. If, however, you want to keep the two existing fields in the data source, you can create a field (100-10) using a join. The data source includes now all three fields (100, - 10 and 100-10).

• ODI for Hyperion Planning upgrade upgrade

  Dear all,

  I really need your advice. Now we are in the process of Hyperion Planning upgrade 11.1.1.3 11.1.2.2

  We must also modernize ODI. Hyperion Planning and ODI now run on the same machine. And after upgrade HP, it will be even...

  So now we have 2 servers - current HP more ODI and new HP.

  Could you please how to make the process of upgrading of ODI?

  PS: I don't want to touch existing ODI. And I don't want to install the previous version on the new server.

  I'd be happy if it was the way with the new installation of version ODI with migration of repositories for new machine...

  Install a newer version of ODI in the new server. Then take the saving deposits of the ODI and restore them to new db.

  Using the upgrade process, upgrade the ODI, then connect them with newly installed ODI.

  With the help of ODIhome/bin/us.bat, we can improve the ODI version.

  Thank you

• Windows Server 2008 for Hyperion Planning

  Hi, someone tried to deploy Hyperion Planning using the Windows Server 2008 operating system? I understand that it is not currently supported but I just want to check if there are a few companies have tried this option.
  
  Thank you!

  Hello

  I tried to install it on windows server 2008 and I advise to do unless you are going to use it just as a test.
  Firstly, Openldap do not install correctly, missing parts of the registry, it can be fixed by updating the registry.
  Many of the files in the common directory are also not deployed and must be copied manually over the course of a working environment.
  He believes that installation is vista.
  EPMA does not work, the services don't start with a warning against bad operating system in the same Viewer.

  It seems that Oracle have work it cuts to get everything running smoothly by the next version.
