That's correct, you can't connect directly to the underlying Essbase cube unfortunately.

You can connect OAC to the GL Balances cube but it does it via the OTBI subject area, not a direct connection to the ERP Essbase cube. * Create a new ERP connection using the /analytics url as mentioned above * Create a new data set and select the General Ledger - Balances Real Time suject area from the list Hope that…

No problem, it worked for me. I've just noticed you're based in Leeds, I'm in South Manchester, small world!

I hit this same issue today. A friend suggested a great workaround - just add a dummy attribute dimension to the cube. It has a minimal impact on the cube and it will allow you to display all the available true Essbase dimensions in your analysis. Cheers, Guillaume
