• 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

• How to set the alias with Essbase Studio?

  I read through P113-P118 "Oracle Essbase Studio user's Guide" on how to implement aliases. It seems easy t create the Alias defined according to the document.
  I want to put 100-10 aliases as "Cola", the information comes from the RDBMS to confirm. The product in RLDB a field SKU and SKU_Alias columns table, the Reference value is: 100-10 100 - 20, etc.
  My link is:
  Source: SKU
  link: TBC::TBC. Product.SKU_ALIAS
  It's using the grammar to page 115
  connection:
  ------' < logical_source_name': ' < physical_data_source_name >. < physical_tabl
  e_name > '. ' < physical_column_name > '
  
  But after that I deployed the cube, I do not see the product as expected from EAS alias name? I tried 100 times, but can't find what's wrong with me. Please advise, thank you!
  My question: how to put the elements in place or associate the alias set produces Essbase Studio so that I see of EAS? Thank you! Bob
  
  Published by: user2571802 on January 10, 2010 21:38

  First of all, it can be useful convert IST TBC in the Studio model, for this you will need to configure EIS and create the example application to confirm.
  Once it has been created in Studio, you can go to tools > migration catalogue IST and migrate the TBC of IST at the Studio application.
  If you use this method, all the aliases etc will be already set up to see how it's done.

  To set up the alias, you would go to
  Tools > "Alias set Manager" > create a new alias say "Default" and add a link, for example PRODUCTDIM. SKU to PRODUCTDIM. SKUALIAS

  Then on your right click "Properties Essbase" model > Alias tab > select the default alias table and move the window selected tables.
  This should then assigned the default table, if you check the properties to say PRODUCTDIM. SKU in the default alias tab and the mapping must be indicated.

• Member add dimension to the existing attribute problem

  Hi - I currently have a dimension of the attribute and the type is numeric. I did not build this BSO cube, but I need to add a member in there "0000". I am trying to add this in environmental assessments, when I first add a child and type 0000, it automatically removes the 3,000 and leaves me with only 0. When I manually in the properties to add back the 000 and then check the outline, it will give me an error message "0: setting of the format name attribute must match attrirbute member of level 0. Other members of this dimension is also 4 digits.
  
  The same problem happens when I try to add the 01/01/1900 to my date attribute dimension. This attribute is of type Date. When I try to check the outline, I get an error message 'the attribute member name does not match the setting for the attribute type. Date attribute should be specified in the format xx-xx-yyyy ".
  
  I've never added members to the dimensions of the before attribute, I thought it would be like adding a new Member to any other regular dimensions.

  These two questions make sense to me. If you set an attribute like digital, I think it translated 0000 to 0. After all, it is a numeric value. You say that your other values are 4 digits. Do you mean like 1234 or 0012. I expect the former to work, but not the last.

  In regards to your date, I know more casual it is, but there is a minimum date allowed. For some reason a while in 1970 glue in my heard (of course, I was stuck in the 1970s for years). I thinl you also cannot have a longer date the 2043.

  Thanks in advance

  What you have is a single Arc table, where you have a line by the relationship between identifiers.
  Classic CONNECT BY work on base of knot tables, with a line by id.
  In a tree (for example your data), each id except the root is the child (head_id) or a relationship, so a node database tables will be all lines with a rainbow table only, as well as a line for each root.

  You can simulate a node database table by adding a line to the root by using the UNION, as shown below.
  You can add the real lines like that permanently to your table. They are easy to ignore when you don't want them, and they do queries like this simpler and more effective.

  WITH     got_root     AS
  (
       SELECT     head_id
       ,     tail_id
       FROM     emp_id
            --
       UNION ALL
               --
       SELECT  1003     AS head_id
       ,     NULL     AS tail_id
       FROM     dual
  )
  SELECT     LEVEL - 1     AS lvl
  ,     head_id
  FROM     got_root
  START WITH     tail_id       IS NULL
  CONNECT BY     tail_id       = PRIOR head_id
  ;
  

  Output of your sample data:

  .      LVL    HEAD_ID
  ---------- ----------
           0       1003
           1       1008
           2       1011
           1       1012
           2       1015
           1       1020
           1       1025
  

  It works for the test case, you have published and can easily be adapted to handle a number any of given points of departure, not necessarily of roots.

• Dimension of the BSO attributes properties

  Hello
  
  I have a small number of attribute associated with my base product dimension members. I still maintined them manually in the EA. They are more generic consolidaton types. Recently, I have revised my rule to load product dimension member (base) to accomidate a few new data source and attributes associated with. After running the rule of load successfully, when I look at my members attribute the consoldiaton is set on ~ ignore. And I can't change the properties in environmental assessments. This is true in my other aspects of non-produit attribute as well.
  
  I suspect that I changed a global setting with my new charge rule, but I don't know how to find or change it back.
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thank you

• Need information about hierarchies of Essbase Studio

  My model-
  Measures
  Entity
  Scenario of
  Period
  Year
  
  1. If we don't identify an intersection point to say 'entity' in the report definition, this means that the DT is available for the default entity?
  
  2. I will be able to define DT, i.e. at level 1 for the hierarchy of measures and get the transactional details for all children less than the parent?
  
  3. for the Scenario dimension, I defined DT at level 2. When I zoom in to all levels, DT is available for level 2, level 1, Level0. This is how it is supposed to work, or is it all just because my model follows the recursive hierarchy?
  
  4. Finally, in what other ways the source can be defined outside the recursive method? A simple example would be beneficial.
  I want to explore different options in order to acquire a full understanding of the capabilities of the studio.

  If you do not specify a selection for the entity, this means that you will not be filtering on entity (it woun't; t be part of the where clause in the SQL and thus to return all the values of the entity)

  For recursive hierarchies, you specify the level that you want to activate to break through. He returned then all children level 0 under that level in a SQL clause. Attention, for some reason, team development limit the number of entries in the in clause to be a member of 1000 if it exceeds that you get an error.

  If you use recursive hierarchies or not, you set the highest level that Pierce is active. by default, this means any level within the framework that is also available to break through.

  4. Finally, in what other ways the source can be defined outside the recursive method? A simple example would be beneficial.
  I want to explore different options in order to acquire a full understanding of the capabilities of the studio.

  You can use hierarchiers generation/level based as well by the presence of different levels of the joined tables or columns. My book Look smarter tan you with Essbase Studio gives examples of these types of hierarchies (this a shameless plug)

• What is the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio

  If the two are not used to design applications?
  
  And a really need Essbase Studio?

  What is the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio

  ^ ^ ^ It's a little confusing, isn't? As far as I understand the role of EPMA, it is a way to share dimensions and common data between several products Oracle EMP including Planning, Essbase and HFM. In fact, I don't know if other products live in EPMA. What is EPMA not have is a great way to supply or manipulate the dimension and fact tables (or files). Oh, there are tables of the interface, but you will write the code/use the utility of dimension EPMA to load dimensions. I must say that I never tried to load through EPMA data so that someone else will have to pronounce on it. Once the dimensions are built, you can deploy Essbase (and other products) of common and specific to the database dimensions.

  Studio is the tool you will use to go against a data warehouse, or something terribly close a data warehouse to build Essbase databases. Just for Essbase - HFM, planning, etc. are not the targets of the Studio release.

  What gets confusion / intriguing, is that when EPMA deploy Essbase apps, it uses Studio under the covers to do. So the interesting implementations where people use Studio (which is much more flexible than EPMA because it is a development tool as opposed to a dimension/data management application) to read the tables, EPMA interface (and as far as I know, the EPMA base tables) and create Essbase applications like that.

  If you think that there is overlap, I agree with you, but you can see that they are not the same.

  And a really need Essbase Studio?

  ^ ^ ^ Do not use Studio to build Essbase databases. You can go hog wild in EAS with loading SQL rules if you want, even if at some point it will be probably easier and simpler to build in the Studio. Although the Studio has been mentioned as the replacement of EAS for awhile, I suspect the effort required to build a database in Studio will keep around for quite a while EAS or Studio Lite will be out. There is a lot to say (sometimes) for the incredible flexibility EAS/Essbase-Studio requires a more methodical approach and EPMA has a very formal set of standards and methods.

  Phew, I'm sorry, I wrote a book on this subject and I bet you get a lot of differences of opinion on that.

  If you are interested in the Studio, you could do well to take a copy of 'Look smarter than you are with Oracle Essbase Studio 11' of Glenn Schwartzberg. I don't get a penny from the sale while I was among the writers of copy (Hey, I got a mention in the acknowledgements). It's a good book and an excellent introduction to the tool.

• Doubts with LCM and Essbase Studio.

  Hi, I come back to Essbase world after several years of working with other platforms (specifically, Business Objects) and I'm trying to understand how the LCM with cubes designed with Essbase Studio 11.1.2.2.
  My client works with 3 atmospheres, Dev, pre and Production. So, when I draw a cube from a relational database in Essbase Studio this cube uses a dev environment relacional database and now is when my doubts, if I use the LCM to promote the cube of Dev to pre, how to change the connection uses the database relacional of pre-production to load and forest - through actions?
  best regards and thanks!

  Yes, import and export in the Studio is the method to use, I don't know it will be integrated in LCM someday.

• Export data - with the colunn attribute

  Hello, we have a cube with 12 decreases intensity, we have a Sun cost center that we have assigned a dim (SGA) attribute. The Sun CC has ~ 3,000 and the dim SGA has approximately 80 members with each CC with an LMS are entrusted to him.
  
  I need to export data to power a different cube based on the Sun BMG. I tried to do this with a report Script and it worked very well for a member of the SGA and one account, but when I tried to do it for all members of the SGA that he brought EAS (v9.3.1.4) as well as the report never came back. I tried it twice, the people in charge the servers weren't happy either time.
  
  I searched the web looking for solutions and see a lot of start analytics and JExport. No money to start analytics and I can't find the source of JExport. Does anyone have an suggestions.
  
  I've been watching the DataExport command, but I don't think I can have the attribute member is displayed in the output file.
  
  My thought is to get rid of the protected attribute in Essbase and let the FDM to manage the translation as the protected attribute is only intended to be used to export data.
  
  Any suggestion would be appreciated.
  
  Thanks in advance.
