Essbase is an file based database where the data is stored in PAG files of 2 GBeach and grows
sequentially.
2) While loading the data, you have applied both the selection criteria as wellas rejection criteria
to a same record. What will be the outcome?
A classification of a member in a dimension. You can select and group members based on their
associated attributes. You can also specify an attribute when you perform calculations and use
calculation functions. Eg: The database in Sample Basic which has product dimension has some
attributes like size, package type, and flavor. We can add these attributes to the dimensions where we
can retrieve the data like for example to retrieve "coke with 8 Oz with bottles", this is useful for generating
reports.
So many log files are there in ess base, but the important log files are:
1. Application log
2. Essbase.log
3. Configtool.log
4. eas_install.log
5. ess base server-install.log
Suppose we have assigned Generation 2 and Generation 4 as of now and think of adding generation 3
later some time. Can we build the dimension.
No. If gen 2 and gen 4 exists, we must assign gen 3.
Objects gets locked to prevent users to make simultaneous and conflicting changes to Essbase database
objects. By default whenever an object is accessed through Administrative services console or Excel
spreadsheet add-in, it gets locked.
Attribute dimensions provides more flexibility than UDA's. Attribute calculations dimensions which include
five members with the default names sum, count, min, max and avg are automatically created for the
attribute dimensions and are calculate dynamically.
7) How does Attribute dimensions and UDA's impact batch calculation performance ?
UDA's- No Impact as they do not perform any inherent calculations.Attribute dim- No Impact as they
perform only dynamic calculations.
A method of controlling access to database cells in essbase. A filter is the most detailed level of security,
allowing you to define varying access levels different users can have to individual database values.
9) What is TB First and TB Last ?
TB First: in the Sample.Basic database, the accounts member Opening Inventory is tagged as TB First.
Opening Inventory consolidates the value of the first month in each quarter and uses that value for that
month's parent. For example, the value for Qtr1 is the same as the value for Jan.
TB Last: in the Sample.Basic database, the accounts member Ending Inventory is tagged as TB Last.
Ending Inventory consolidates the value for the last month in each quarter and uses that value for that
month's parent. For example, the value for Qtr1 is the same as the value for Mar.
How can we display UDA's in reports ? How do they impact report report performance.
UDA's values are never displayed in the reports and hence do not impact report performance.
How does Attribute dim impact report performance ?
They highly impact the report performance as the attributes are calculated dynamically when referenced
in the report. For very large number of att dim displayed in the report, the performance could drastically
reduce.
While loading the data, you have applied both the selection criteria as well as rejection criteria to a same
record. What will be the outcome.
The record will be rejected.

4. Is it possible to have one ASO database and one BSO database in a single
application. Justify .
Ans. No because ASO/BSO classification is defined at Application level and not at the
database.
6.Can we start and stop an application individually and how to increase performance
using this?
Ans. We can manage our server resources by starting only applications which receive
heavy user traffic. When an application is started, memory is accompanied by all
associated data bases.
11. Which two functions can produce a report that includes only Elimination entities?
Ans. two functions which can produce a report that includes only Elimination entities are
a Fixed Name List and Dynamic Name List.
13. What are the three primary build methods for building dimensions?
Ans. The following are the three primary build methods for building dimensions :-
1) Generation references
2) Level references
3) Parent-Child references.
As example, the db in Sample Basic with product dimension has some attributes like
package type, size, and flavor. We can add attributes to the dimensions and can
retrieve data. For example, to retrieve “coke with 8 Oz with bottles”.
24. In what way can migrating of an application from the test environment be made if we
want to move it in the production environment, also can we do this from Windows to
Unix or if the test environment is different from the production environment?
There is a tool given to us by the Hyperion Administrative services but this only helps
with the migration of the application and the objects database while the data is not
migrating. In the other two cases the answer is yes.
25. Can we run on the same machine two instances of the same Essbase server and
each one will have the test environment and the development environment?
We will respond with yes, because we can have two instances of Essbase with various
sets of services on the same machine.
26. If we have A as the dimension and B,C as members of it how can we stop b and c
from rolling up to A?
We can do it with (~)exclude of the consolidation operator.
28. Is it possible to have several metaoutlines in the Integration services that are built
on a single OLAP model?
The answer is yes.
