Problem opening local cube with ProClarity 6.2

I am new to BI and have a perplexing problem. I need to create a local cube for offline use in ProClarity 6.2 for mobile users.

I have created a sample cube in AS2005 using the following code:

CREATE GLOBAL CUBE [RainbowBranch]

Storage 'C:\SourceData\RainbowBranch.cub'

FROM [Rainbow Trade Sales]

(

MEASURE [Rainbow Trade Sales].[Adj Sales Value],

DIMENSION [Rainbow Trade Sales].[Branch]

)

The resultant cube can be opened in Excel 2003 with no problems, but when opened in ProClarity, there is no cube name to select, so I can never get to see the cube data.

Is there a problem with my cube build statement? Does it need more in terms of parameters, etc.

Regards,

Charles.

Hello. The coming 6.3 version of ProClarity, supposed to be released any day, will have strong improvements for local cubes. You can have a problem with a bug in 6.2

Thanks Thomas,

I heard about the forthcoming ProClarity 6.3 release. I believe that it will only be available from our vendor at the end of March, which is a problem in terms of making decisions at this point in time. Anyhow, back to my current problem; A colleague sent me a cub file to test, the cub is named "Debtors Analysis" - I think it is part of sample data but I do not know how it was generated (AS2000 perhaps or ProClarity 5.3 ?). This "Debtors Analysis" cub opens perfectly in both ProClarity 6.1 & 6.2 as well as in Excel 2003. This leads me to believe that my problem lies with my cub file - either something missing in my cub file which causes ProClarity to fail, or something extra in the cub file which ProClarity does not recognise.

Are you aware of any other way to create cub files that I can test in the meantime. Preferably not using another 3rd party, commercial product. Thanks.

Regards,

Charles.

problem maybe with IN

Hi all,

I've a SP that retrieve a list of users. The problem is that on this SP i want return a list of all users or only based on a specific filter gived by the customer.

I don't want ot use IF statements to see if for example the variables @.username contains something or is null.

Ok, so.. there is a method that return all the users if the variables is null and a specific user is the variable contain something without use condition?

Please note also that is not only one variable but can be more (ie, filter by password and email too)

Thanks for the help!

Crisif you dynamically build your query
and then execute it

will that do ?|||The query can be

select ...
from ...
where (field1 = @.param1 or @.param1 is null)
and (field2 = @.param2 or @.param2 is null)

procedures succesfully execute manually, but programming job for execute
this stored procedurre not send mail, but histoyr job its succesfully.

You don't say how you are sending the emails, but if the procedure does not
raise an error and only returns an status code then you would need to check
this status code asnd raise your own error to make the step fail.

According to http://sqldev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htm, any error from xp_smtp_sendmai
l should return a return
code, also accompanied by an error message.

xp_smtp_sendmail will return 1 if there is a problem, you may want to create
a test job that just sends a test email and selects the return code.
e.g.
DECLARE @.rc int
EXEC @.rc = xp_smtp_sendmail....
SELECT @.rc
Add a log file in the advanced tab of the step so that you have a copy of
the output from the step, this may give you some indication of any error. Yo
u
may also need to change the SQL Agent service account to be a domain account
if network access is an issue.
