How many line item dimensions can a fact table have?

Hi,
How many line item dimensions can a fact table have? Is it tht Max of 16 dimensions(13+3) .Does the 16 dimensions include line items dimensions as well .
Pls reply.
Thanks
Praveen

It includes all dimensios, including line item dimensions.
If you have line item dimension, pl note you cant assign any other characteristic to that dimension.

MM: Purchase requisition line Items - How many line items can we use

Hi all,
1. Purchase requisition Line items (How many line items can we use?), is there any restrictions.

Need FM/BAPI to get how many line items per given FI document...

Hello Experts,
IS there an available FM or BAPI to get how many line items there is for a given
FI document? We are avoinding BSEG because of the performance.
Hope you can help me guys. Thank you and take care!

Hi,
Not sure if there is a specific FMs or BAPIs whose specific purpose is to just count FI document lines. But you can use a number of FMs to read an FI document.
i.e. FI_DOCUMENT_READ - pass the document keys (BUKRS, BELNR, GJAHR) and retrieve the T_BSEG table to get the document lines. Then you can just use DESCRIBE statement to get the number of lines in T_BSEG.
Also, based on experience, I never had any problems with BSEG as long as I am providing the complete keys for an FI document (BUKRS, BELNR, GJAHR). But if you are trying to avoid BSEG, you can use the secondary index tables like BSIS , BSAS, BSAD, BSID, BSIK, BSAK to improve performance.

Exchange 2010 SP3 - How many Calendar Items/Folders can you create under "all public folder"

Hi,
Is there a limitation on how many calendar items/folders you can create under "all public folder" in Exchange 2010 SP3?
Thank you

I don't believe you can create calendar items under the root folder, but it's been so long since I worked with a system that had public folders that I'm not sure. If you mean "a folder that can contain calendar items", that is not a calendar
item itself.
Now, I believe your underlying question is, "How many folders can be created at the root level of the public folder hierarchy?" If so, there is no simple limit that I know of (you can have thousands, if you really want), but management gets
pretty unruly with the more that you have. I normally recommend that you create sub-folders to logically meet your requirements, then have each of these with more folders (normally that only specific groups of users will be able to access or add items
to). And anyone will tell you that you want to restrict anyone from creating their own folders at the root level. In fact, this is the default setting for a new Exchange 2010 installation.
I'll add that you really should stop trying to use public folders, since there are newer technologies (SharePoint, for instance) that work much better and are much easier to use.

How can i decide candidates for line item dimension?

1Q): we have many infocubes out of all these infocubes, i have to decide which infocubes are the candidates for lineitem dimension? How to do it? Please tell me the technical specs how to do the analysis to find out the candidates for line item dimension?
2Q): if i have the small dimension can i combine all these dimension in to one dimension? what is the benefit of doing this? how to find out which dimensions are small?
Pizzaman i like to hear from you on this topic. Thanks to SDN Community. i appreciate your help. Again Thank you.

The process of figuring out what you might want to create as a line item dimension can vary a bit, it can depend a lot on your exisitng level of domain expertise (how well do you know the data in question). If you are familiar with the data, I would recommend you just take an initial guess at what you believe could be line item dimensions. If you are not familiar witht the data, you might want to examine the source more to understand the cardinality of different characteristics and identify any relationships between characteristics.
I really encourage people to just go ahead and model it and load some data and review, rather than agonizing over developing the theoretically perfect model on paper before they start. You learn a lot more that way.
Any of the SAP rules of thumb, are just that, general rules, not a pronouncement from God. There are always extenuating or unique circumstances that might warrant disregarding the rule, e.g. if the InfoCube will never become very large, maybe some of the concerns just are not worth your effort.
With every release of the Oracle (and the other DBs too)Oracle keeps getting better at data warehousing and star schemas. Oracle 10i is supposed to have made handling bitmap indices much more efficient, which is on of the factors influencing the decision to create a line item dimension.
There are other threads on SDN on line item dims that provide more technical detail and can help answer you first question
As far as 2Q - generally, it's better to have several small dimensions than one larger dimension. But having said that, combining a few very small dimensions into another slightly larger (but still small) dimension is a good idea. It keeps the number of table joins down which will improve query performance. You would do this with characterisitcs that have very few values, e.g. yes/no indicators.
e.g.
You have 8 characteristics that all of which have only two values. You put them in one dimension, and the max size of the dimension table is still only 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 or 256 rows. If you had these characteristics in other much larger dimensions, it's not hard to see it causing those dimensions to double, perhaps creating hundreds of thousands of dimension table rows to be created.

Is there any limit on how many records a cursor can hold?

Hi Everyone,
This is Amit here. I want to know whether there is any limit on how many records a cursor can hold.
I have a program in which i am creating a cursor and passing it to another procedure as an input parameter. But the count of cursor query is more than 15 Lakhs. The program is running forever.
Just wanted to know whether the huge data is the problem.
Thanks ....

Just wanted to know whether the huge data is the problem.What do you think? How long does your code typically need to wait for the data to leave the magnetic platter of the harddisk, travel across wires and into the memory buffer of your application - for a single row?
Now multiply that waiting for I/O time with a million - for a million rows. Or by a billion, for a billion rows.
Is "+huge data+" a problem? Not really - it simple needs more work to get that amount of data from disk. More work means slower performance. It is that simple.
Which is why the row-by-row approach used by many developers is wrong. You do not pull a million rows from disk and process it in PL/SQL or Java or .Net. Heck, you do not even pull 10,000 rows like that.
The correct approach is to think data sets and use SQL to process that for you - and only return the bare minimum of data to the application layer. Maximize SQL. Minimize PL/SQL and Java and .Net.

How to consider an object as Line Item Dimension?

Can I have the formula for Line Item Dimension? I know basic idea like If the LID is more than 20% of the fact table then we consider as LID but how can we say that the object having more than 20% than Fact table?

Hi sanjeev kumar--
I hope thru that program you will get the ratio between different dimesion tables and the facttable.
In doing so if the size of the dimesion table is too high then we have to trace out the offending charecteristic in that dimension and have to assign that char as a line item dimension.
Generally it can be created on single char infoobjects. After creating it directly links to the MD . i mean to say there won't be a dimension for this..
You can check this under the Tcde listschema .
Hope this Helps,

Vishwa.

How Line Item Dimensions

Hi..
I found some dimensions need to be conveted into line items. but when checked with cube that dimension has more than 1 characteristics. In that case what i have to do..and how can i convert it into line items

Hi Rajini...
1. When you anticipate high growth in the dimension tables of an entity.
2. Usually you decide whether a char is to in a line item dimension or not.
3. SAP recommends to have ODS for line items rather than cube; cube should have summarised data.
Also, see this link:

Can "Line item dimension" have attributes?

Hi,
I understand that, Line item dimension should have only one Characteristic.
Is it allowed to have ATTRIBUTES along with it?
Thanks for your help.
Lakshmi

Hi
the only restriction of a line item dimension is that it only has one characteristic.
Of course this char can have attributes, nav or not nav.
Don't forget that a line item dimension has no dimension table has such, therefore when you'll request this char, the fact table will be systematically read.
Hoping this will help

Can anyone explain me line item dimension

Hi all
Can any one explain me line item dimension with real time exeamples.
thanxs a lot
hari

hi hari..
Line item dimension refers to single field. This is nothing but the SID of the field get stored in the fact table , and there will no extra dimension , hence improves performance while reporting as select need not go thru extra dimension table..
Line item dimension is used for those fields where the number of records is expected to be more..
You cant assign more than one characteristic to line item dimension.. But you can assign more than in normal dimension..
In modelling there are strong entities like customer, material which for dimensions. There are a few entities viz. "intersection entities" of the strong entities like "sales order no". Such intersection entities normally for line item dimensions.
n this example, if u want to have granularity level till the sales order no., you will have a real high no. of records in the sales order no dimension(if it was a regular dimension) as compared to the fact table(the ratio which u mentioned).
So we will treat this sales order no. as line item dimension.
