Cognos Cube
Oct 25, 2007Is it possible for RS to connect to a Cognos cube?
If so, where can I find information on it especially how security within cognos is evaluated/verified.

Crosstab Alternate Hierarchies Of An MSAS Cube Using Cognos
May 5, 2005Good day all
I am unable to crosstab different alternate hierarchies of an MSAS cube from a single dimension, I'm using Cognos Powerplay (7.3 web and client) to browse the data. v 7.1 displays the same behaviour.
When I try to create the crosstab the display replaces both rows and columns to the alternate path, it overwrites the original path. Can anyone tell me if this is a Cognos issue or an Analysis services one and if there is any way around it. The only solution I have at the moment is to bodge it by creating seperate dimensions for each alternate hierarchy however this is ugly and difficult to use.
Regards
Mike

Nov 27, 2006We are trying to investigate the ETL tools available in the market and have narrowed down to two
COGNOS - ETL (Data Manager Tool)
Microsoft - SSIS
Is there a comparison study out there which would help us in this process. Also a list of things we need to look out for in a ETL tool will also help.

Migrating Cognos DM ETL To SSIS?
May 29, 2008Hi all - just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how arduous this task would be (migrating Cognos Data Manager scripts to SSIS). I realize it wont be a trivial endeavour, but wondered how much of a headstart having the initial validated Cognos catalog would be to this project (or would it be pretty much useless?)
Thanks
SqlServer(2005) Driver For Cognos

Cognos Measure Allocation / Scope In MSAS
May 5, 2005I am a Cognos developer (10 years) and am frustrated with the apparent lack of MSAS ability to replicate Cognos measure scope / allocation features.
I have built three cubes, Sales Info, Store Count, and Date Count and wrapped these into a virtual cube (Sales Reporting). Both the Store Count and Date Count cubes have just a single dimension and a single measure each (Distinct counts of Stores and of Days respectively), this is my attempt at replicating the use of several fact queries with differing scope in Cognos Transformer. In my virtual cube I wish the distinct counts to be allocated constantly within dimensions that are out of scope. For instance if I have product categories as rows and my measures as columns then I wish to see the total number of stores on each row and the number of days in the date range so that I can calculate a few ratio's. I do not wish to see the number of stores that sold products in each category or the number of days products in that category were sold, which is what I see if I use distinct count measures in a cube with the exact same dimensionality.
All that I have been able to achieve is something similar to Cognos's 'do not allocate', zero's appear down the list of categories in out of scope dimensions.
TIA

View 2 Replies View RelatedPower Pivot :: Aggregating Time Periods In Cube-member / Cube-value Formulas?
Aug 23, 2015I am just starting out using CUBEMEMBER/CUBEVALUE formulas in excel linked into a sql olap db - using this method for some custom reports where pivot tables are not suitable.
The time dimension values include Months, Quarters and Years and the CUBEMEMBER formulas like
=CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[1].&[1]") work fine - 1st quarter 1st month etc.
Is there a straightforward notation to aggregate months or do I need to use a plus sign to add a number of CUBEMEMBER formulas together.In other words - Is there an easier way of for say jan to july 2015 totals than
=CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[1]") + (CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[2]")) + (CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[3].&[7]"))
I haven't tested this but have assumed it works but a bit long and clumsy.
Analysis :: Creating Cube With AMO - Cube Has No Measure Groups?

GetSchemaDataset For Cube Restriction With Space In The Cube Name
May 27, 2008When I make a call to GetSchemaDataset with a restriction of a cube name with a space in the name of the cube the call fails. Following is a sample of the code: adoRestriction = new AdomdRestriction("CATALOG_NAME", "Contoso Telecom_Contoso"); adoRestrictions.Add(adoRestriction); dataSet = conn.GetSchemaDataSet("MDSCHEMA_CUBES", adoRestrictions); I am running SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services SP2. Is there some way to qualify the cube name in the restriction or is this just a bug? Thanks.

I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting

Creating A Cube...and Some ?'s
Jan 26, 20041.Create a table. The table must contain four columns of your choice and at least ten rows. Create a meaningful example of your own. The last column in the table must be a quantity. Provide output showing your CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements. Also include output showing their successful execution.
2.Create a ROLL-UP query using the table you created in problem #1 Provide output showing your SELECT statements and the resulting output rows. Next use the TRANSCT SQL help function of SQL Server and write definitions of the following SQL statements:
a.IS NULL-
b.GROUPING-
c.AS-
3.Create a CUBE query using the table you created in problem #1 Provide output showing your SELECT statements and the resulting output rows.
4.Create the following CUBE queries using the table you created in problem #1. Provide output showing your SELECT statements and the resulting output rows.
a.A CUBE query with Grouping used to distinguish Null values.
b.A CUBE query showing a multidimensional cube.
c.A CUBE query created using a view. For this problem you must not only create your view but query it and display the results.
5.Create one example of a query using COMPUTE and one example of a query using COMPUTE BY. These queries should use the table you created in problem #1 Provide output showing your SELECT statements and the resulting output rows.
Levels In A Cube
Feb 24, 2004I have just started working the 2047 OLAP and came arcross the Analysis Service Limits. It states that the levels in a cube has a limit of 256 and the leves per dimension is 64. I am confused.
What is the definition of (levels in a cube)! and how are the levels in a cube different from (levels per dimension)
Cube History
Mar 25, 2004I am trying to build a cube to monitor the sales performance. My measure is the sale amount. My dimensions include 1) Time 2) Sale hierarchy (salesman, sales office, region), and 3) Product Line. The problem I have is that when the salesman move from one office to another, the sales occured before this movement should continue to be credited to the old office. Only sales happen after the movement should be credited to the new office.
How should I implement the cube to achieve this effectively? We have more that 40,000 sales, about 500 offices, in the company to monitor. So I don't think keeping a copy of the sales hierarchy whenever there is a change is feasible.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated!
Thanks.
Cannot Browse Cube, Please Help
Aug 21, 2007I have installed SQL Server 2005 on a server which runs Windows Server 2003 with SP2. And I have two client machines, both running Windows XP with SP2. Machine A has a full version of SQL server 2005 installed, including database engine, analysis service server, reporting service server. Machine B only has workstation components installed, BI development studio, SQL Server management studio.
I have developed a couple of analysis service projects and deployed to the server. On machine A, I can connect to the server and browse cubes no problem. On manchine B, I still can connect to the server and see the projects I deployed, even browse dimensions data. But when I browse cubes, management studio will be hanging there, not doing anything. Eventually I will have to kill it. I also opened the projects on machine B from BI management studio and try to browse data from there, it shows 'loading data' and doesn't do anything either.
Does anyone experience this type of issue? It's really frustrating as it doesn't show me any error message.
Thanks for any help.
Process Cube Changes
Sep 11, 2007We are using SQL 2005, Visual Studio 2005, SSIS, and SSAS. We have built our Dimensional model in SQL 2005, we have build our packages to complete full refresh of Dimensional model using SSIS. We have built SSAS cube using VS 2005. We built source, data source, cube and dimensions using auto build. We processed cube in VS 2005 by right clicking on solution and click process. Cube was built in Analysis Services. We made some schema changes to model then data changes in SSIS packages. We then pulled up cube in VS 2005 right click on solution and process. Cube is being re-built. After completion we check cube using Proclarity and Excel 2007 and notice the schema changes and data changes did not take. We dropped cube, then deleted data source, dimensions, and cube then re-created data source view and cube auto build then process and now have new schema changes and data changes.
Why is process not working to re-build schema and data changes when we have process FULL selected, Changes only. We even tried rebuild, deploy, and process. What is it we are missing or not doing correctly?????????

How Do You Set Parameters On A Cube?
Oct 30, 2006I had no problem setting parameters with a relational database. But with a cube its so much more difficult. When i check the parameter box in the dataset it gives me way too many options..when i only want 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Instead, its displaying all the quarters in each of those years, so i get this long list. Is there any way i can fix that. And actually get the parameter to work. Because when i click one, it doesnt look like it queries the report. Whats the process for putting a parameter in the report? Am i missing something?

Cube Processing
May 22, 2008
Hi All,
I have 3 cubes in a single SSAS database and these cubes should be processed using the following schedule
Cube 1 - Every Day
Cube 2 - Every Week
Cube 3 - Every Month
Cube 4 - Every Day
The issue that I face is that these cubes share the dimensions and so I cant do a FULL process of these SHARED Dimensions as it will affec other cubes.
I can expect additions and deletions to my dimension data , but the structure remains the same. It would be great if someone can suggest how to go about processing the dimensions. I am confused with the number of options(Process Incremental, Process Update etc.,) available for processing the dimensions.
I will creating a SSIS package to automate the processing. One more question is say, if Cube 2 fails during a day and Cube 1 has succesfully processed on the same day earlier, how do I revert back to the old state of Cube 2? Does this mean that I need to do a back up of the SSAS database before processing each cube?
Apologies if I had missed anything.
Thanks!
