Before precede further, need to define some user-defined options. Since Essbase Cube Gen1 names contains only Dimension names, we can skip that levels before importing the cube as follows Go to Tools-> Options and select the required checkbox
Provide the user-defined name and repository password Path: C:\OBIEE\instances\instance4\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\repo sitory Its the default location where OBIEE Repository will store. Click Next
Select the connection type as Essbase, Provide Valid Server name, Username and password. In this scenario, its my local system hence the Essbase Server is local host. Best practice is using System name or IP address while Essbase Installation to make the Server name unique.

Once more advantage here is no need to create again star schema, OBIEE will brings all join relationships along with tables (This is where I impressed and of course lot of re-work got reduced for developers) As you can see from the screenshot below, the Market physical dimension has three UDAs associated with it; Major Market, Small Market and New Market.
Another good point, Even the hierarchy is ragged or Skipped, Essbase+OBIEE can handle it. We can also observed here it will display the Introdate, Caffeinated attribute dimensions as hierarchies 3. Now Drag the Sample Cube from Physical to BMM layer
