Dashboard Prompt that does not link to any column

Hi,
This might be a basic question but I am missing something here.
How can we create a dashboard Prompt that is not linked to any columns? This prompt has to be a drop down with two values to choose from.
1. Accounting
2. Operational
The value chosen in this prompt will be used for calculations in my reports. The calculation for Accounting and Operational is different.
I do NOT have these two values in any of the columns.
Please suggest on how can I do this.
This is OBIEE 10.1.3
Your help is very appreciated

SELECT 'Accounting' FROM "Subject area"
where Time."Date"=current_date
union all
SELECT 'Operational' FROM "Subject area"
where Time."Date"=current_date
Pls mark as correct/helpful

  • [39008] Logical dimension table has a source that does not join to any fact

    Dear reader,
    After deleting a fact table from my physical layer and deleting it from my business model I'm getting an error: [39008] Logical dimension table TABLE X has a source TABLE X that does not join to any fact source. I do have an other fact table in the same physical model and in the same business model wich is joined to TABLE X both in the physical and business model.
    I cannot figure out why I'm getting this error, even after deleting all joins and rebuilding the joins I'm getting this error. When I look into the "Joins Manager" these joins both in physical as well as logical model do exist, but with consistency check it warns me about [39008] blabla. When I ignore the warning and go to answers and try to show TABLE X (not fact, but dim) it gives me the following error.
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
    Error Details
    Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: TABLE X.column X Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000)
    SQL Issued: SELECT TABLE X.column X saw_0 FROM subject area ORDER BY saw_0
    There is one *"special"* thing about this join. It is a complex join in the physical layer, because I need to do a between on dates and a smaller or equal than current date like this example dim.date between fact.date_begin and fact.date_end and dim.date <= current_date. In the business model I've got another complex join
    Any help is kindly appreciated!

    Hi,
    Have you specified the Content level of the Fact table and mapped it with the dimension in question? Ideally this should be done by default since one of the main features of the Oracle BI is its ability to determine which source to use and specifying content level is one of the main ways to achieve this.
    Another quick thing that you might try is creating a dimension (hierarchy) in case it is not already present. I had a similar issue few days back and the warning was miraculously gone by doing this.
    Regards

    Thanks for Your earlier answer as well!

    Hi,
    Did you create hierrarchy on that dimension.?
    Add contel level in fact source to hierarrchy detail for the fact that joins the dimension.
    Look at this for best practice...http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/hierarchy?s

    To start with I have three tables joining to Cust (customer) table in physical layer
    Cust-Seg (Segments)-------------------------------->>Cust via segment key
    Cust-Geo (customer Geographics)-------------->>Cust via address key
    in the BMM layer under the CUST table when I pull in Cust- seg it works fine .
    But it gives an warning [39008] -if iI create a single LTS for the product with the join for all 3 tables
    The Same warning appears when i import th Cust -seg table as Logical table

    Have you tried this?

    It seems your dimension is not joined to any facts. Did you check your BMM/physical joins?

  • TS1702 I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt.  Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)?  Thanks!

    I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt.  Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)?  Thanks!

    Apple could not tell you who else might be using your credit card, so there's no point in trying to contact them. All they could discuss with you is your own iTunes Store account, and if there's nothing in your purchase history, the charges almost certainly aren't coming from there. Again, you should take this up with your bank/credit card company and report these charges as fraudulent. They probably will cancel your card and issue you a new one.

  • Create a login page that does not link to database

    Hi,
    I am really new to muse and would like to seek some help....sorry if any similar questions have been asked.
    I am making a website interface for my assignment, and i need to create a login page,
    how can i make a text box for entering the login ID and the password? and how can i add a login button?
    By the way, this does not have to link to a database, it is just  a template........so the solution using codes may not help i guess

    Hi,

  • Tutor: Adding a Prior Activity that does not link to a document

    When the docs are published, the Prior Activities come across as broken links if a document filename is not included in the formatting.
    Is there a way around this so that if someone clicks on a prior activity which is not linked to a document, it doesn't do anything - rather than appearing as a broken link?
    Thank you.

    Can you provide the exact text that you are putting under the Prior Activity heading?
    Kind regards,

  • I put my mac pro to share with my mac desktop.  Iphoto was upgraded from 8.2.1 and I can no longer access iphoto on the mac book pro. I have tried library manager but that does not work.  Any suggestions?

    I have a mac pro which I recently made to share with my mac desktop.  iphoto was updated on the mac pro from 8.2.1 and I can no longer open iphoto.  I get an error message You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.  The only option is for me to quit.  I have tried to restore with no luck.  I tried reinstalling using my Application CD.  Help?????

    when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

  • My ipod touch is not turning on, i tried to reset it holding home button   power but that does not work, any idea?

    my ipod touch is not working , i tried to rest it holding the power button and home for a while but that does not help..
    any idea ?

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer.  Let it charge for 1/2 hour .  If iTunes sees the iPod restore it via iTunes
    Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Does not join to any fact source issue in 10g

    HI,
    I am getting below issue while compiling rpd.
    Logical Dimension Table Dim-XX has a source xx_aa that does not join to any fact source.
    Let me describe situation here.
    In physical layer , i have one xx_v table . there is no join condition physical layer. But in BMM layer we have created two logical tables for single xx_v table and providing join in bmm layer. When am compiling it i'm getting an error.
    The one which i have using current rpd, same rpd in production with out any warnings(Logical Dimension Table Dim-XX has a source xx_aa that does not join to any fact source) and they don't have any logical level mapping in content tab. But i am using same rpd in dev instance getting warnings.
    Thanks,

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

  • [39008] Logical dimension table ... has a source ... that does not join to

    Oracle BI 11g
    Hi,
    I have this set of tables:
    1) Table "Sales" with fields: ID, Billdate, ProductID, Amount
    2) Table "Products" with fields: ID, ProductName, BrandID, TypeID
    3) Table "Brands" with fields: ID, Name
    4) Table "ProductTypes": ID, Name
    In Physical layer I add these tables and create Physical Diagram with constraints like this:
    [Brands] -------------------->[Products]
    [ProductTypes] ---------->[Products]
    [Products] -----------------> [Sales]
    In Logical Layer I create logical table T1 Products with sources:
    - LTS1 Brands,
    - LTS2 ProductTypes,
    - LTS3 Products
    and fields:
    - ProductID
    - ProductName
    - Brand
    - ProductType
    After that I create Dimention With Level-Based Hierarchy (H1 Products):
    Total Products
    - Brands
    -- ProductTypes
    --- Detail Products
    When I try "Check Global Consistency" I get warning: "[39008] Logical dimension table T1 Products has a source LTS1 Brends that does not join to any fact source."
    And after that when I try to make Analysis in Oracle BI, for example:
    H1 Products | Amount
    and then drill down item "Total Products" I receive error:
    "State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail: [,Brand,,,,,,,,,]. (HY000)"
    What's wrong? Where do I mistake? And why I don't get any messages about Logical Table Source LTS2 Product Type?

    Hi,
    you can create a single LTS for the product with the join for all 3 tables. Do you have a particular reason for the modelling that you have used?

  • Logical Dimension tabel does not join to any fact source

    I want to create a new “Dimension” table. This will be an Account Geographic dimension. My Business and Physical model are setup as follows:
    1.     Account Address (WC_ADDR_F) is joined to Account (W_ORG_D) which is joined to multiple Fact tables (Ex: Order Item (W_ORDERITEM_F)
    2.     When I perform “Global Consistency” check it comes back with no errors or warnings.
    I create the Account Geographic dimension as follows:
    1.     I right click on the subject area and select New Object->Dimension and name it “Account Geographic Dimension”. I do not select or change anything else.
    2.     I right click on the new dimension and select New Object->Logical Level. I name the level “All” and check the “Grand total level” check box. Nothing else is changed.
    3.     I right click on the “All” level and select New Object->Child Level. I name the level “Country”, set number of elements to 200.
    4.     I right click on the “Country” level and select New Object->Child Level. I name the level “State”, set number of elements to 250.
    5.     I drag the “Country” element from the Logical table (Account Address) to the “Country Level” on the new Dimension (Account Geographic Dimension)
    6.     I drag the “State” element from the Logical table (Account Address) to the “State Level” on the new Dimension (Account Geographic Dimension)
    7.     I then select the “Country” level properties and add a new key. For the key I select the “Country” column that I just dragged up there.
    8.     I then select the “State” level properties and add a new key. For the key I select the “State” column that I just dragged up there.
    My goal is that when an Analyst selects the “Country” column in Answers from the “Account Address” area that the user would be able to drill down from “Country” to “State”.
    When I perform “Global Consistency” I now get the following warning:
    WARNINGS:
    BUSINESS MODEL CCCi Analytics:
    [39008] Logical dimension table Account Address has a source CCCi_Dim_WC_ADDR_F_AccountAddress that does not join to any fact source.
    Why do I now get an error no the Account Address table for not connecting to a Fact table? The error message references the “Account Address” dimension table which I believe is the source to the Account Geographic Dimension. If this is the source table, why did it not get a warning message before I created the new dimension?
    Thanks…

    Here is the solution that I was able to get to work:
    1.     I did not have to reduce the business model to a star but was able to keep it a snowflake
    Final design (which was same as the original) here is the Business Model (snowflake schema)
    1.     Account Hierarchy (logical) -> Account (logical) -> Order Item Fact
    2.     Account Address (logical) -> Account (logical) -> Order Item Fact
    In this model the logical tables Account Hierarchy and Account Address snowflake off of the Account table which joins to the Fact table. I then:
    1.     Created an “Account” dimension
    2.     Created a child “Account Total” level
    3.     Created two (2) children off of the “Account Total” level: (1) Account Address Country and (2) Account Hierarchy Top Level
    a.     Key for “Account Address Country” was the Country column from Account Address (logical)
    b.     Key for “Account Hierarchy Top Level” was the Top Level Account Name from Account Hierarchy (logical)
    4.     Off of “Account Address Country”:
    a.     Created a (1) child off of “Account Address Country” called “Account Address State” with the State field from the Account Address (logical) as the key
    b.     Created a (1) child off of “Account Address State” called “Account Address Detail” with the ROW_WID from the Account Address (logical) as the key
    c.     Created a (1) child off of “Account Address Detail” with the ROW_WID from the Account (logical) as the key
    5.     Off o “Account Hierarchy Top Level”:
    a.     Created a (1) child off of “Account Hierarchy Top Level” called “Account Hierarchy Level 1” with the Top Account ID from Account Hierarchy (logical) as the key
    b.     Created (1) child off of “Account Hierarchy Level 1” called “Account Hierarchy Detail” with the ROW_WID from “Account Hierarchy” as the key
    c.     Crated a (1) child off of “Account Hierarchy Detail” with the ROW_WID from the Account (logical) as the key
    The global consistency check completed with no errors or warning with this design. It appears that perhaps you need to have all of the logical table keys in the dimension path that trace to the Fact table. One other note, cannot repeat use of other columns in the dimension except for the key of the first logical table.
    Please let me know if I missed something.

  • Logical Dim table does not join to any fact source

    [39008]Logical Dimension table <table name> has a source < table name> that does not join to any fact source.
    I am getting the above error when the "correct" joins have been made in both the physical and BMM diagrams. My fact tables are showing yellow as they should and my dimension tables are white like they should be. I am only getting this as a warning though when I run a request against the tables in Answers it is telling me to resolve the warnings in the admin tool.
    I know this has already been posted before -- though I did not see any additional info to correct the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    Follow the following Step:
    In BMM expend you fact table.
    Expend your sources option that is present in fact table.
    Now get the property of the fact table source.
    In General tab Add button is present click on that
    It will open new Browse window and in right bottom part it gives some table name.
    select your fact table from that and click on select.
    now your table will be selected nwo click on ok.
    Now save this and click on Globle Chick in.
    Now I think it will not give you any working msg.
    If againg you have any proble then let me know.
    Thanks
