Can I create a DIMENSION object mappign without a Dimension table?

I understand how I can create a dimension object and it's associated table. However, can I map my enterprise data directly to the dimension object itself and skip the loading of the dimension table? The enterprise data for most of my reporting warehouse for the greater part is fairly simple and requires only joins to some reference data.

Matthew,
Like you stated, the dimension object in OWB will generate scripts for two object types. The first is a dimension object and the second is a table. In the dimension object the hierarchical structure(s) (meta data) is stored and the table stores the data. So you always have to load your enterprise data into the table.
Hope this helps.
With kind regards,
Bas Roelands

  • Can I create a File object without writing it to the disk?

    I need construct a mechanism where I can "write" instructions to a file and then FTP this file to a remote system. It is basically a Telnet-like integration for a system that does not support Telnet. Once the file is on the remote device, it knows how to read the file and process its instructions.
    I would like to logically create this File object, by that I mean that I would like to use a FileWriter object to write the text instructions to the File, then use the Jakarta Commons NET API to FTP the file to the remote system. My question: can I create this File object without the file actually being written to the file system? Can the File just be memory resident for this creation and FTP?
    There could be tens of thousands of these transactions per day and I would like to just avoid any kind of deletion strategy, if I can. Thanks.

    Apart from the questionable decision to try and mess with the File object, I think the answer to (my guess at) your original question is "Yes".
    Jakarta Commons/Net FTP can upload to a server from any input stream you like. It doesn't have to be a FileInputStream. In particular it could be a ByteArrayInputStream, which reads from a byte array in memory.

  • How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes,  loose what i've done and have ot restart.
    I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
    I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

  • Create time dimension table in repository without data warehouse

    Hi,
    I want to implement only BI repository solution in my customer (not datawarehousing). Is it possible to transform the data by repository tools, so that the times columns in fact tables are categorized by the "time dimension" table?
    To be more explanatory:
    The "Sales" table has the "time of sale" column. It contains the timestamp when the sale was performed. I have imported this table in "physical layer" of the repository. Now I want to create a new "time dimension" table, something like:
    CREATE TABLE dimension_time (
    Day_Key INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    Day_Timestamp DATETIME NOT NULL,
    Day_Name NVARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    Day_Text NVARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    INSERT INTO dimension_time VALUES (20110101, {d '2011-01-01'}, '1/1', 'January 1', 'Saturday', 0, 6, 1, 1, 185, 1, 201052, 'W52', 'Week 52', 52, 201101, '01', 'January', 1, 7, 1004, 'Winter', 'Winter', 20111, 'Q1', '1st Quarter', 1, 20103, 'Q3', '3rd Quarter', 3, 20111, 'S1', '1st Semester', 1, 20102, 'S2', '2nd Semester', 2, 2011, '2011', '2011', 2010, '10/11', '2010/2011', 0);
    INSERT INTO dimension_time VALUES (20110102, {d '2011-01-02'}, '2/1', 'January 2', 'Sunday', 0, 7, 2, 2, 186, 2, 201052, 'W52', 'Week 52', 52, 201101, '01', 'January', 1, 7, 1004, 'Winter', 'Winter', 20111, 'Q1', '1st Quarter', 1, 20103, 'Q3', '3rd Quarter', 3, 20111, 'S1', '1st Semester', 1, 20102, 'S2', '2nd Semester', 2, 2011, '2011', '2011', 2010, '10/11', '2010/2011', 0);
    and after to add a new column in "sales" fact table for "time dimension ID" and through the repository populate this column based on the "time of sale" column and the corresponding "time dimension ID".
    I know that the ETL process might perform it, but I do not want to go for Data Warehousing (it is not real - time, needs more resources, etc).
    Is it possible to perform such action only on repository?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I can do it, but this would be usefull only to create "time dimension" table. But also the "sales" fact table needs to be altered (thus, the "time" column will not contain the value of the time, but the ID of the corresponding time in the "time dimension" table).
    I know that on DW this procedure is done automatically by the ETL process.
    My question is that does the repository has any tools similar to this?
    Thank you.

  • Can I create a Class object without the VM?

    Using byte-code engineering, is it possible to create a class object?
    What about if I serialize a Class object to a file, can I byte-code engineer that and then reinstantiate it?

    Thanks I'll check it out. Basically I want to try it
    for fixing a problem of running two apps in the same
    VM.There's a world of problems when you try to run two programs within the same JVM. I wouldn't suggest even trying it unless it's a last resort. Why do you want to do that?
