My company is looking to implement a dashboard solution for Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2. The inclination is towards using Micrsofts BI for doing the same. However we are in admist of deciding on which MS BI products(SSAS or SSRS or SSIS) supports the Essbase 7.1.2 version in terms of connectivity and performance. I know SSRS supports Hyperion system 9BI+ but not sure about the backward compatibility.I would greatly appreciate if GURUS could shed some light into this.

Can SSIS connect and pull data from an OLAP database hosted by Hyperion's Essbase V 6.X or V7.X? We have a manual process of pulling in stuff and would like to replace this with an automated process. Appreciate any help.
Normally I would be using SSAS but our finance department make use of Hyperion Essbase. I was wondering whether it was possible to upload data into an Essbase cube using SSIS in the same way that you can use the Analysis Services processing task? I realise there are no specific task for Essbase, but are there any suggestions about what would be the best way of going about this?
I have a custom essbase application/db source that I wish to connect to from SSRS 2005. I have all the required software installed (APS / SP2 .3050) etc.
I can connect to the datasource in SSRS 2005, but when I'm trying to build the query on the cube, I see under the member properties of all dimensions, the following piece of line "error occurred retrieving child nodes: null"
Also, when I try to drag my Measures into the query section (or any other dimension for that matter of fact, though that defies logic) I get the following error
Cannot perform cube view operation. OLAP error (1260046): Unknown Member PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME used in query
I am new to using ESSBASE with SSRS 2005, and hence cannot make much sense of the above two errors. Any insight or a re-direction to similar posts with solutions will be greatly appreciated.
I want to build a data import process with SSIS, sourcing Hyperion Financial Management. Accoring to my knowldge there were a Star Integration Server (Star Analytics acquired by IBM in Feb 2013) doing the extraction job and which could be used in SSIS.
As this product is not available now, how to do this.
VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy' http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time! And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy. I just simply could NOT get it to work. You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question: Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection? - NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO ) Then select the tables you want in the DataSet. and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there. Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets, (a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database) the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets. YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM. Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks, Barry G. Sumpter

I want to build a reporting dashboard. Can anyone guide me to books/docs/articles of how to build up a report dashboard using sql 2005 reporting services.
I am not planning to use those real jazzy reports. Just some simple charts, bar graphs and statistics shown. The client wants a simple but a professional looking UI.
I am trying to create a dashboard that is split into the five main focus areas of Customer, Finance, Management, People and Innovation. Each focus area has a main report and a series of subreports (within a panel). I use the €˜Jump to report:€™ property at the domain level €“ which works well.
My problems arise when dealing with the subreports. For example, in the €˜People€™ focus area €“ the panel contains 4 subreports covering; contractor vs. fte trends, gender balance trends, compliance trends and investment trends.
Ideally I would like to have four €˜tabs€™ which when clicked would show the relevant subreport. I know this can be done via a full report refresh, but it looks clumsy and is more complex and costly to maintain.
I am happy for any method that might change the €˜Subreport€™ property dynamically or set the visibility of the objects. I want to avoid using the toggle capability as this could result in two or more subreports conflicting and being visible at the same time.
I€™m not sure if this is the right topic for this particular forum but here goes anyway€¦
Okay, admittedly, I am not really familiar with MS SQL Server (I€™m Oracle, actually) but I am investigating a possible implementation on a relatively small scale. I am sure that MS SQL Server will handle all the database functions I need and will leave plenty of room for future growth. That really isn€™t the issue. What I am trying to figure out is how the Digital Dashboard I€™ve read about works. Of particular concern is the apparent connection between the Dashboard and Share Point. My first question is this: Is Share Point required to use the Digital Dashboard?
My next question is actually a bit easier€¦ Is there a sample site I can access that shows some of the capabilities of a Digital Dashboard implementation? I€™d like to make sure that the kinds of displays I am trying to build are actually available using this feature€¦
We have several reporting services reports that have been formatted specifically for dashboards displays, ie. with charts, kpis, tables, etc.
Currently I am using MOSS 2007 dashboards to display these reports on a large flat-screen display in our area, but only using a Web Page webpart to display. Because these reports contain a lot of information, it is more ideal to show a single report at a time, and after a few seconds display a second report, etc, similar to a powerpoint slide show.
My question is, how can this be accomplished? Can the Reporting Services web parts do this? Can a custom web page be built to flip between different reports on a timed interval dynamically? Can transition effects (fade, wipe, etc) be used between report views?
The important point here is that the dashboard/reports are displayed on a central monitor, so these dashboards are not designed to be interactive (i.e. people viewing, changing, filtering, printing, etc.) - only viewing in a browser.
I have SSRS and Asp.net2.0. i have been asked to create the dashboard reports for our organization. please give me some tips, how to develop the dashboard reports using this technology?
Is there anyother resources avilable to develop this dashboard reports? thanks in advance..
I have installed the reports for the performance dashboard and really like it!
However, I'd like to be able to clear the stats in order to run specific procedures etc and see the most inefficient parts in the specific procedure. The documentation says like this about it:
The lifetime of the DMV data depends on the lifetime of the plan in cache. You can determine how long the plan has been cached, and thus the time frame over which these resources have been consumed, by looking at the Plan Cached column
What Plan Cashed column? Can someone explain to me how to clear the stats?
1. Filter Web Part that uses a BDC-driven list of clients
2. Part showing RDL's from a doclib
3. Report viewer Web Part
I can use the Filter part to supply a parameter value to 3. when I select an RDL manually, I can set the Viewer connections to get the Report Definition from 2. But I can't get both options to work at the same time. The reports in 2. all have the same Parameter so there shouldn't really be a problem.
Looking forward to any suggestions or a way to provide feedback on the CTP (RS SharePoint Addin).
Getting Cannot PIN SSRS Chart...Server Error: The item "Dashboard deleted 9e0c7443-406d-4435-aaf3-8c7d5a47b7db" cannot be found. (rsItemNot Found).Yet, the list in the drop down populates the list of dashboards from Power BI (loading).Dashboard in Power BI works fine.
Currently i have set of queries which i run for data extraction and result pasted in Excel table so that my pivot table and Chart gets populated along with the summary in Excel file.
I would like to automate this thing and want to know if i can achieve excel output for dashboard on a click of button.
Hi Gurus, We are planning to user SQL server 2005 reporting services in our project, for this we are doing a Proof of concept exercise to evaluate if SSRS 2005 will be good for our project. For this we are trying if we can make dashboard or composite reports (combine 4-5 reports to create one report). Also if we can make this dashboard ad-hoc. As we are already using the Ad-Hoc reporting capability of SSRS 2005 we wanted to check if dashboards can also be created using Ad-hoc reporting feature.
Please let me know if you any information or pointers for this.
We want to create interactive dashboards using SSRS 2008 R2. We currently has Report Server installed in Native mode. I see that we can build some good dashboards using SSRS, SharePoint 2010 and PerformancePoint. But I wanted to find out if we can build that level of dashboard using just SSRS. We are still convincing the management for getting SharePoint license. In case if they don't agree for the Sharepoint license, can we build some good dashboards just using SSRS?
We have created a chart in SharePoint 2013 with performance point dashboard designer. We want to change Title of chart. For more  information please check attached image.
I want to show on Power BI Dashboard a moving average - for example, I want to always show the last 30 measurement of body temperature but it looks like Power BI dashboard shows all measurements I have and compress them - which makes the dashboard ugly.
I tried to customize the X-axis properties but I dont know what I should change the default start/stop properties to (where the default property value is automatic).
Let say I have a table that is composed of 11 columns - one the Primary Key and the other are keys to rows in another table. Of these 10 column 2-10 are nullable. Can I get all the info in one SELECT? I can't use JOINS because columns 1-10 are keys to the same table. I am not very good at explaining these things but hopefully it makes sense.
Hi folks, guidance required! Clients have an MSDE installed and they need all of their data to be dowloaded for the first time from our website. 30 tables r involved. Can i automate this? I suspect BCP allows only one table to be exported into a text file. Since it's the first time process i don't want to setup replication.
Hello All, I have a transaction table that holds nearly a million records and my master with 60000 records,I want to fetch details based on two dates.
I use Union operator to query the info from a view,is this right or fetch the result into a temporary table and fetch the result from temporary table using the same Union operator.
Which is the better way to fetch details faster.

Is there any better/faster select sentance to do this? i'm using sql2000.
Hi, i am not sure if i can solve the problem with SSIS. I wanted do do it hardcoded with C# or so.
So, for my project I need to download zip-files on a daily-base. In these zip-files are xml-Files. And in these files is information stored for inserting or updating tables on a MS-SQL-Server.
So, my question, is it possible to solve that with SSIS? And if, is it easy to understand and to learn within a few days?
I haven't found good sources for information on how to get the data out of XML-Files.
I've got a .dts which load data to several Sql2k servers by Copy SQL Server Objects Task. I'd like to add another task for a Sql25k but I can't because of it's requesting SMO.
It seems that such task need DMO. I know that there are other ways for do such stuff in that DTS but I wonder if there is any trick or shortcut for to avoid this barrier.
