BMM issue for multiple fact tables

Hi All,
I have three facts F1,F2, F2 and two confirmed dimension D1,D2 in my sample rpd.
In BBM layer , I tried to do the modeling as follows instead of creating one logical fact table. There are many fact tables to come
in future.
F1<----D1--->F2<----D2--->F3
When I deploy this sample rpd and run the report from F1 andF2, I get an error No fact Table exists at requested level of detail.
I have not created any hierarchical dimension to set up the content in the fact table.
I am very much thanksful for any advices.
Thanks,
Vishal

Hi,
Please refer the below link.
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2012/07/implementing-multiple-fact-tables-in.html
My suggestion would be bring both the facts to the same logical table sources and have a single fact table in the BMM layer joined with multiple dimensions.
Build a dimension hierarchy for the dimensions and then in the content logical layer mapping, map the dimensions to the fact tables with detailed level/Total
Refer the below link-

Hope this help's

Distinct count for multiple fact tables in the same cube

I'm fairly new to working with SSAS, but have been working with DW environments for many years.
I have a cube which has 4 fact tables. The central fact table is Encounter and then I also have Visit, Procedure and Medication. Visit, Procedure and Medication all join to Encounter on Encounter Key. The relationship between Encounter
and Procedure and Encounter and Medication are both an optional 1 to 1. The relationship between Encounter and Visit is an optional 1 to many.
Each of the fact tables join to the Patient dimension on the Patient Key. The users are looking for a distinct count of patients in all 4 fact tables.
What is the best way to accomplish this so that my cube does not talk all day to process? Please let me know if you need any more information about my cube in order to answer this.
Thanks for the help,
Andy

Hi Andy,
Each distinct count measure cause an ORDER BY clause in the SELECT sent to the relational data source during processing. In SSAS 2005 or later, it creates a new measure group for each distinct count measure(it's a technique strategy for improving perormance).
Besides, please take a look at the following distinct count optimization techniques:
Create Customized Aggregations
Define a Processing Plan
Create Partitions of Equal Size
Use Partitions Comprised of a Distinct Range of Integers
Distribute the Hash of Your UserIDs
Modulo Function
Hash Function
Choose a Partitioning Strategy

Join multiple fact tables and dimensions and use all tables in report issue

Hi,
I have a report requirements and need to use multiple fact tables and unconformed dimensions as described below
Fact table: F1,F2,F3
Dimensions tables: D1.....D9
F1:(joined to) D1,D2,D3,D4
F2::(joined to)D1,D2,D5,D6
F3::(joined to)D1,D2,D7,D8
D7::(joined to)D9,D8 (dimension D7 joined to two other dimensions D9 and D8
I'm trying to use columns from almost all the fact and dimension tables but getting "Unable to navigate requested expression. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings."
Repository is consistent and no errors and warnings.
How can I configure the repository to develop reports using all fact tables and dimensions?
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.
Thanks

How can build BMM with multiple fact tables

HI Gurus,
I have 4 fact tables and 18 Dimension table. Dimension tables have links with multiple fact tables. i have created physical joins in Physical layer. Now my questions is how can i create Business Model with multiple fact tables.
i mean should i create 4 fact tables as logical tables and logical keys ? Then i have to move all dimension tables in to Business model?
i am new to OBIEE. i gone through tutorial it is showing with one fact and multi dimension table. Should i do follow same style with multi fact tables.
Please help me. Thanks in advance for your support.

Thanks for your response.
I had drag all tables from the phisical layer to Business Model. then i have deleted all links and recreated complex joins with default values.
now i have some revenue amont columns in fact tables.
my question is should i should i create aggregation ( like Sum..) for those columns? is it must ?
please let me know thank you very much

Joins with multiple fact tables

Hi Experts,
i have one doubt in joins
we have two dimensions D1 and D2,
D1 is having A1 and A2 columns
D2 is having B1 and B2 columns
two facts F1 and F2 these are joined like D1 to F1 D1 to F2 and D2 to F1, D2 to F2
D1----->F1
D1------>F2
D2-------->F1
D2-------->F2
if i selected A1 and B1 in a request from which FACT table will get the data and why can you please explain
please help me
reg,

Hi All,
I have a similar requirement where I have 4 multiple fact tables and we can't combine all those facts into one single fact table. In that case how can a query work with multiple common and uncommon dimensions and measures from multiple fact tables, if it doesn't work that way - can you please explain how can we expect a query to work with multiple fact tables.
For eg: D1– Dim
D2 – Dim
D3 – Dim
D4 – Dim
F1 –Fact
F2 – Fact
F3 – Fact
D1 -> F1
D2 -> F1,F2
D3 -> F2
D4 -> F1, F3
In this case if we want to query from D1,D2,D3, F1, F2 or D1,D2,D3,D4,F1,F2,F3. Kindly please explain how it can be modeled in BMM or what are the limitations. I have done with two fact tables in past and didn't had issues but this is kind of a vast implementation. Your help is appreciated.

Multiple fact tables using one measure

Hi Experts,
Multiple fact tables using single measure .For example Measure name is amount . This measure is using 5 fact tables. By using this info , i have to create bmm layer document . In bmm layer documents columns are like logical table name ,column name, logical sourc name . could you please help me out to draft the document ?

Hi ,
My question is five fact tables are there, day level two different fact tables , period and week fact tables are there .
Above all tables are using single measure . how to design these fact tables with measure in bmm layer ?
Please kindly give reply .
Thanks in advance.

Logical level for logical fact table sources

it is clear that for fact aggregates, we should use the Content tab of the Logical Table Source dialog to assign the correct logical level to each dimension.
question is : is it mandatory to assign even for non-aggregates fact tables the logical level for each dimension (which normally should be set to the most detailed level of each dimension) ? is it any known issue if "logical levels"in content tab are not set ?
the reason I'm asking this is a strange bug I have (I'm not going to discuss it here) and then only workaround seems to be NOT setting the logical levels (on content tab) for logical fact table sources.
thank you !

If levels are not set: By default levels are considered as lowest level
It should not matter if you set or not
Generally we set for facts explicitly when we are using Aggregate tables.
Your current issue might be a case by case; I would suggest to check implicit fact, any table mapped to the source to force a join etc

Content tab for a fact table

Hi
Please , help me in knowing the use of content tab for a fact table in the repository in OBIEE.
Thanks.

if you have multiple LTS then you should set the content level approprately otherwise you can get errors during consistency checks.not able to find any link which talks only about content level.see these links and let us know if you have any doubts
http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=604637
Content tab is also handy when you are using aggregate tables.

"Select" Physical table as LTS for a Fact table

Hi,
I am very new to OBIEE, still in the learning phase.
Scenario 1:
I have a "Select" Physical table which is joined (inner join) to a Fact table in the Physical layer. I have other dimensions joined to this fact table.
In BMM, I created a logical table for the fact table with 2 Logical Table Sources (the fact table & the select physical table). No errors in the consistency check.
When I create an analysis with columns from the fact table and the select table, I don't see any data for the select table column.
Scenario 2:
In this scenario, I created an inner join between "Select" physical table and a Dimension table instead of the Fact table.
In BMM, I created a logical table for the dimension table with 2 Logical Table Sources (the dimension table & the select physical table). No errors in the consistency check.
When I create an analysis with columns from the dimension table and the select table, I see data for all the columns.
What am I missing here? Why is it not working in first scenario?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SP

Hi,
If I understand your description correctly, then your materialized view skips some dimensions (infrequent ones). However, when you reference these skipped dimensions in filters, the queries are hitting the materialized view and failing as these values do not exist. In this case, you could resolve it as follows
1. Create dimensional hierarchies for all dimensions.
2. In the fact table's logical sources set the content tabs properly. (Yes, I think this is it).
When you skipped some dimensions, the grain of the new fact source (the materialized view in this case) is changed. For example:
Say a fact is available with the keys for Product, Customer, Promotion dimensions. The grain for this is Product * Customer * Promotion
Say another fact is available with the keys for Product, Customer. The grain for this is Product * Customer (In fact, I would say it is Product * Customer * Promotion Total).
So in the second case, the grain of the table is changed. So setting appropriate content levels for these sources would automatically switch the sources.
So, I request you to try these settings and let me know if it works.
Thank you,
Dhar

Multiple fact tables

Hi All,
I am using OBIEE 11g. In my requirement, I have 1 Fact table and 3 Materialized Views of fact table. Now, these 3 MV have same columns as actual fact table 1 barring a couple of additional columns in each of them. Imported these 3 MVs and 1 Fact table in Admin tool. In Physical Layer I joinedmy dimensions to each of the Fact (table and MVs). In BMM I created one Fact table with 4 LTS coming from these fact table and MV. Now, all the dimensions are conformed. Still when bring in a column from each of these facts I am getting incorrect results. e.g. when I find sales from years, the data is correct. As soon as I add another fact column from a different MV/fact table the values from first sales column gets changed.
I have check LTSs and Content levels and do not see any problems.
Does anyone have some similar experience?
Thanks,
D

Hi Dcole,
It should not be a problem,you are going in right direction but i want you to check the joins established in the physical layer once again.
But you mentioned a point above saying all the columns are same as actual fact with MV's.I suppose it is assuming as 1 column only.Can you change the column names..

Can a measure map to multiple fact tables

Hi Experts,
Can A Measure in an Universe map to multiple fact tables? For example, we have sales detail table by day and store and product, and have sales summary table by day and region and (product) department. We like to create a measure to map to both detail table and summary table. When I run query includes store and product, the query will automatically use the sales detail table; and query can automatically choose the summary table when it only includes region and department. Our database table could be in Teradata and Oracle. Can we achieve it and how? If a measure can't achieve this (dimension awareness), what the other option we can have and how to do it?
Thank you,
Richard

Hi Sion,
After I make the tables incompatible with the dimension objects on different levels, the measure can point to the right table if my query only include Store and Product or only include Region and Department. But in some scenario, the business could ask to include both Store and Region or Item and Department in same query. The current approach doesn't work on this further request. In our database, we have store table including Region with other higher level organization information, Product table including Department with other higher level product information, and we also have separated Region table and Department table. Could we make the objects more flexible u2013 query will be against aggregation sales table if dimension objects in query are only on higher level and will against detail sales table if some of dimension objects are on high level and some on low level?
Many thanks,
Richard

Get the master table value based on multiple fact tables

I have an master table which has to filter data based on multiple fact tables
In the below sample, i need to get the list of MasterTable SId in an single query for fetching data from all the fact tables with an criteria.
Can u let me know the single query to handle the below situation
Select count(1) from dbo.DimMaster where sid in
(Select Master_sid from dbo.factsales where SalesDate < '20141231')
Select count(1) from dbo.DimMaster where sid in
(Select Master_sid from dbo.factPurchase where PurchaseDate < '20141231')
Select count(1) from dbo.DimMaster where sid in
(Select Master_sid from dbo.factSalary where SalaryDate < '20141231')
Select count(1) from dbo.DimMaster where sid in
(Select Master_sid from dbo.factMarket where MarketDate < '20141231')
ShanmugaRaj

Please try below:
SELECT
(SELECT count(1)
FROM dbo.DimMaster
WHERE sid IN (
SELECT Master_sid
FROM dbo.factsales
WHERE SalesDate < '20141231'
)) as C1,
(SELECT count(1)
FROM dbo.DimMaster
WHERE sid IN (
SELECT Master_sid
FROM dbo.factPurchase
WHERE PurchaseDate < '20141231'
)) as C2,
(SELECT count(1)
FROM dbo.DimMaster
WHERE sid IN (
SELECT Master_sid
FROM dbo.factSalary
WHERE SalaryDate < '20141231'
)) as C3 ,
(SELECT count(1)
FROM dbo.DimMaster
WHERE sid IN (
SELECT Master_sid
FROM dbo.factMarket
WHERE MarketDate < '20141231'
)) as C4

Multiple fact tables in Essbase studio schema

Hi all,
Can we pull data from multiple fact tables in the single schema using essbase studio ? Also is it advisable ?
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Do you mean direct joins between fact tables ? or we can have indirect joins through Dimension tables ?
Thanks,
Andy

Multiple Fact Tables or Circular Joins?

I'm using OE schema to build an rpd, I'm importing foreign keys and I'm unable to decide which tables to be joined additional to the imported foreign key joins. If I'm not making any new joins I'm getting multiple fact tables and if I do make some joins I'm getting circular joins, some one please throw some light on this.

It is not a good idea to bring the OE schema tables as it is. The ideal approach would be to create a view that would represent the Fact table. For e.g this view could comprise of OE headers and OE line information and the reference id to the other dimensions. 
 
Similarly create views from customer table, item tables etc and then create a star schema surrounding the fact view with all these dimension views.

Merging Multiple fact tables and creating a BIA target

Hi Folks
We are using Dataservices with BIA.
We want to merge mutliple fact table and create a sinvglc cube on BIA.
when we tried to do that we get a error message that we cannot merge multiple fact tables.
any pointers ?
Poonam

You could have the cubes individually on the BIA and then have a multiprovider which you can use..?
or create separate universes on the cubes and then merge the universes in BO and then you could hit the BIA for the same..?
