Oracle Essbase Loading Data

The document discusses different methods for loading data into an Essbase database, including free form data loading with no load rules. It states that free form data loading can be used if the source file format matches the outline format exactly. It also discusses loading data from Excel using the lock and send function, but notes there are limitations such as only being able to update existing data.

Data Loading
Types of data loading are 5.
1) Manual Data Loading
2) Data loading using Esscmd( Automate the process of data
loading)
1. Free form data loading
2.Using Rules file
3.Excel lock &send
4. Loading Data using Essbase Integration Services
5. Oracle Data Integration

Free form data Loading:-
If the source file format is 100% matching with the outline
format ,then only we will go for Free form data loading
(No use of Rules file).

Excel lock &send:-


Through Excel we will enter the data and submit the data.

Make your data Essbase-friendly

First, to make sure you understand, when loading data in Essbase the data must
contain a representative element of data for each dimension in the target Essbase
database's outline.

Microsoft Excel Lock and Send (no load rule)

This method is perhaps the quickest, down and dirty, method of loading data
into an Essbase database. While it is fast and easy, there are limitations and
precautions. Since Microsoft Excel is the natural front end for Oracle Essbase,
they do work rather seamlessly together. However, you do need to remember,
that what you are doing with a spreadsheet's "Lock and Send" function is
updating existing data as there are no provisions for adding new members to the
database outline through Microsoft Excel. Also, Essbase seems to have
difficulty locking too many data cells when asked by Microsoft Excel. Due to
performance issues, you may want to consider splitting spreadsheets that
contain a considerable amount of rows.

OLAP Models
OLAP model contains a fact table, dimension tables, and dimension
branches. An OLAP model may contain time and accounts dimensions.
Integration Services creates an OLAP model that is a logical model, not a
physical star schema, and is a logical representation of data values you select
from data sources and report in Essbase

Fact Table
The fact table is a container for all numeric facts

Dimension Tables

A dimension table, such as a Product dimension, is a container for


relational tables. Each dimension table contains data related to facts in
the fact table.

About Metaoutlines
A metaoutline is a template containing the structure
and rules for creating an Essbase outline.
● They can be the basis for multiple Essbase outlines.
● They can be defined at a central location and used to
create multiple Essbase outlines in multiple locations.
● They enable you to create Essbase databases on
demand.
● They enable you to view sample Essbase outlines
before building them.
● They automatically generate SQL to retrieve data
from an external source.
● They enable you to filter data before you build the
associated Essbase outline.
● They enable you to transform data as you create an
Essbase outline

Metaoutline Components

One or more measures. Measures are data values and typically include items such as
SALES and COGS (cost of goods sold). Every metaoutline used to build an Essbase
outline requires at least one measure..
Two or more dimensions. A dimension is a data category, containing members, used to
organize business data for retrieval and preservation of data values. A dimension in a
metaoutline creates a dimension in the associated Essbase outline. Every
metaoutline used to create an Essbase outline must include at least two
dimensions.
One or more member levels. A member level is a hierarchical level of detail within a
dimension. A member level in a metaoutline creates members at the same level in the
associate
Filters. Filters determine which members of a member level that Integration Services
adds to the associated Essbase outline. You can define transformation rules to
determine what transformations Integration Services performs on the members of a
member level as it builds the Essbase outline.

Metaoutline Components

Optional attribute dimensions. Attribute dimensions are based on attribute-enabled


columns in the OLAP model. After an attribute dimension and member are created, you
can define attribute properties, such as Boolean and numeric ranges, to view business dat
in finer detail than would otherwise be easily available.
Optional Hybrid Analysis low-level members. Hybrid Analysis integrates source
databases with Essbase multidimensional databases so that applications and reporting
tools can directly retrieve data within both databases. When Hybrid Analysis is enabled,
users of spreadsheets and report writer interfaces can access data contained in the
Essbase database and drill down to data accessed directly from the data source.

Optional drill-through report members. Optional drill-through report members. A


drill-through report is based on an intersection level (member combination) that
spreadsheet users double-click to start drill-through operations. Spreadsheet users
can view or customize pre-defined drill-through reports that retrieve detail columns
from data sources. Integration Server returns the drill-through
