Multiple time hierarchies in OWB

Hello,
Have anyone tried creating multiple time hierarchies in the same MOLAP time dimension in OWB?
I tried creating calendar hierarchy first by the time wizard and fiscal hierarchy later by the editor in the same dimension. Deployment was OK and calendar hierarchy worked fine but fiscal hierarchy only showed all the days in the dimension, without indicating any other levels (fiscal week, month, year).
After close inspection i found out that OWB only creates either DAY_OF_CAL_YEAR or DAY_OF_FIS_YEAR (of course, DAY_OF_CAL_MONTH or DAY_OF_FIS_MONTH as well) according to whichever hierarchy was created initially by the wizard. People have suggested using the create map button in the levels tab but the program has instead asked me for sequences. What sequence should I enter? Was the method flawed? or There are other ways to work around this problem?
Personally I don't really think having two separate dimensions is a good idea since by joining these two dimensions to the same measure, what happens if I drill down fiscal dimension but leave calendar dimension in the year level, would it mean that I am going to fiscal quarter by calendar year? doesn't really make sense.
As always, I'm wide open to any suggestion/criticism to the problem/approach i have right now.
Thank you!

Hi Ram,
I don't think you need to have 2 seperate hierarchies for that. Once you build the data model based on 'Day' bucket, you can agreegate the data to see/use it at any time level. The available time levels for a data model built on 'Day' time bucket are,
- Day
- Week
- Month
- 4-4-5
- Quarter
- Half Year
- Year
Only you need to configure your worksheets and interfaces choosing one of these time level based on the purpose i.e. DM or SOP.
Hope this solves your issue.
Regards,
Milind..

  • Multiple time hierarchies in demantra.

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a unique requirement. We need to have two hierarchies.
    Daily->Monthly (Gregorian)->Quarterly->Yearly
    Daily->Weekly->4-4-5->Yearly
    Is it possible to have two time hierarchies?
    One hierarchy to be used for SOP and the other for DM.
    Thanks

  • Unable to use same dimension multiple time for a MOLAP cube?

    Hi,
    I am designing a MOLAP cube that uses the date dimension twice (start/end) but when selecting dimensions for the cube, it doesn't accept the 2nd time I select the date dimension.
    In the date dimension design I gave it 2 role names for this purpose.
    The error that comes up is: The MOLAP storage type does not support multiple references to the same dimension.
    Now I just found out that the User Guide states: Dimension roles can be created for dimensions that have a relational implementation only.
    So how does OWB support implementation of a startdate and enddate in one cube?
    Do we have to duplicate the date dimension in MOLAP multiple times? (Multiple deployment and population using the name of the role??)
    What solutions/work-arounds are in use out there? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    It keeps asking because they are recorded in the database and it can't find them. So they have been delete from outside iPhoto, and iPhoto doesn't know this.
    Simple fix: put the files back where iPhoto expects them to be. Otherwise...
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    2. If this doesn't work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. 

  • I am trying to print a snapshot taken from a PDF multiple times on one page.

    Reader Will not print multiple copies of a snapshot on one page. I read the help files for Acrobat itself and all it said was take the snapshot and print it. Does anyone know if Acrobat can print multiple copies of the snapshot on one page?
    From some reading in another forum page it looks like Acrobat can do it by saving the snapshot repeatedly with different names and the printing all of them at once. I really hate that workaround as I need to do this often.
    Message was edited by: duckles10

    I tried to do it using Reader. I have a one page PDF document with a UPS shipping label on one side and a special box label with a barcode on the other. This is designed to print on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. There are many times when I need to be able to print the box labels more than once. At home, I do it by taking a snapshot of the box label and printing it to a Label printer as many times as I need it. The distributor who also ships items for me only has a full page printer but he can print 4 on a page labels on UPS provided stock. Reader won’t print a snapshot multiple times, the option is grayed out. What I wanted to know is if Acrobat itself can print that snapshot multiple times. I don’t think it can without being able to cut and save that PDF multiple times as separate files. That would be a slow and cumbersome operation. If it would take a snapshot or a single cut and save and print that PDF 4 times on a page it would be a reason to spend the money to buy the program because we need to perform this operation OVER and OVER on a regular basis. On some shipments we might need to print 12 or more extra box labels. We tape smaller boxes together for one UPS label and need to make sure EACH box gets a separate label. Otherwise they sometimes get lost on the other end.
    Doing the save 4 separate PDFs process we might actually need TWO copies of Acrobat unless reader can print 4 on a page if it has 4 PDF’s to work from. I have not yet found a good way to save those snapshots from reader. I have tried since I found that it was possible to cut and save them in other formats but not PDF’s as reader can’t save them. The quality of the saved items in other formats is not acceptable. I recently discovered that Microsoft publisher which I have can save a document as a PDF. I’m going to see if I can import to that program next.

  • A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing.  How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

    Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed.  How can I combine them to make one album?

    First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply.  I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved.  Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue!  I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info".  However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album.  I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library.  I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can.  Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this.  Thanks so much for your patience!

  • How can I have use the same div ID multiple times on the same page?

    Okay so a problem I encounter a lot is that often times I want to use the same div ID several times on the same page. An example of this is when I'm creating table like designs.
    Let's say for instance I create a div ID called 'product-container'. I want to use 'product-container' multiple times on the same page but if I do this it is improper XHTML and will throw errors in any XHTML validator (you are only allowed to use a div ID once on any XHTML page in order for it to be standards compliant).
    Now the first option is that I could define 'product-container' in my CSS style sheet multiple times by doing something like this...
    #product-container {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-2 {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-3 {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-4 {
         width: 300px;
    What you will see there however is that it seems pointless to define the same ID numerous times over (just adding a number on the end) when each ID is the exact same thing and has the exact same attributes.
    Now what I have noticed is that there are some sites out there who manage to have the same ID appear several times in the code but add a number to it just like above. The difference is that they only have one definition for 'product-cointainer' in their CSS document but in their actual XHTML code they have IDs for 'product-container' but with numbers on the end like 2,3,4,5, etc. It's almost as if JavaScript or some other code is automatically appending a number on the end of the ID so the validator won't consider the markup to be invalid, but yet it knows that it's using the same 'product-container' style that is contained in the CSS style sheet.
    I hope I explained this correctly. I'm just hoping to find a way that I can put the same div ID on a page multiple times without having to define it over and over again in my CSS.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Because it seems like by using a class you can't make this position as 
    well as you can by using an ID. Am I wrong?
    An ID name can be used only one time per page.  A class name can be used multiple times per page.

  • How to play one clip multiple times at the same time?

    I am writing a little game where a certain sound has to be played quite frequently. I load it as a Clip and play it with
    myClip.setFramePosition(0);
    myClip.loop(0);If the sound has to be played again but is still being played by another event, the setFramePosition() method resets the sound and the first playing instance is cut off.
    A workaround would be that each object that needs to play this sound would get its own copy, but that is not feasible due to heavy memory consumption.
    So here it goes: How can I play a single sound multiple times at the same time? Is that possible?

    So here it goes: How can I play a single sound multiple times at the same time? Is that possible?Ummmm, if you're using a clip, you'll have to maintain one copy per object that needs to play the sound concurrently. You could keep one master copy, and then create copies of the clip as necessary to play them, and then just dump the copies to decrease memory consumption.
    A second idea would be to write your own Clip class. Esentially, all you would need to do is dump some sound data onto a TargetDataline to play it. It'll handle the buffering and playing at the correct speed itself. If that's all you did, you should be able to dump multiple times from the same instance and play it multiple times.
    Obviously, that's just a theory. In practice, it may not work that way...

  • A single photo in Aperture smart album shows multiple times on Apple TV2.

    Sometimes a random photo in my Aperture smart albums displays on my ATV2 multiple times..can I fix this? For example, currently a single picture shows up on the Apple TV in the photos taken "in the past week" smart album 124 times, and the same picture shows up in the "in the past month" smart album 15 times.
    When I double check the picture in the original smart album on the computer, it appears correctly, i.e. only one time.
    Suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem.  I deleted all the photos in the photostream then tried to drag a couple new ones in to see if they'd synch.  Nothing is happening.  I recently installed aperture (have about 125 gb in the library).  If anyone has an idea what to do, i'm open to try something.

  • Calling stored procedure multiple times in the JDBC receiver

    Hi,
    I am calling the stored procedure(SP) to update a DB table in the JDBC receiver.
    SP has 10 input parameters, and SP can receive one value for each parameter at a time.
    In my case, i will have multiple rows to insert using SP.i.e multiple values for each parameter.
    Its working correctly for a single value for each parameter, but when i have multiple values i want to call the SP multiples times.
    Is this possible and how?
    Thanks,
    Varghese.

    Varghese,
    I think you can have multiple statements in the JDBC Adapter's XML, as in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2e/96fd3f2d14e869e10000000a155106/content.htm.
    Here the StatementName1 node can be inserted into your JDBC XML as often as you want.
    Kind regards,
    Koen

  • Photoshop is opening multiple times...WHY??? (please help).

    When I double click on an image (from Bridge for example) to open in Photoshop it will open up CS6 and then sometimes when I open another image, instead of opening up in the same open Photoshop program, it will open up an additional Photoshop program.  Both CS6, Version 13.0.6 x64.  Super frustrating when sitting with a client and trying to add an image to a document and it opens up in a different program...   Is there a way to see where Photoshop is opening from?  Why would CS6 be opening multiple times???
    I don't think I noticed this happening before I upgraded to Mavericks (yes, this has been happening for a while).  I also have a back-up program called SuperDuper that mirrors my system on a separate hard drive.  Could Photoshop be opening from there, too?
    Thanks for any possible help!

  • Hard lock ups multiple times a day - How can I troubleshoot?

    My machine locks up hard multiple times a day. If I happen to be sitting in front of it, I observe that the image on the monitors stops changing. Mouse and keyboard will not work at all (including Magic key SysRq sequences). I cannot ping the box from another machine. The system has not made it to 24 hours of uptime for some weeks.
    I am beginning to suspect that this may be an issue with the NVIDIA driver, but that's only a guess since it's the only thing I've seen before that can lock up a machine hard like this. I have checked journalctl and the Xorg logs, but don't see anything telling.
    What should be my next steps toward solving this issue?

    When it locks up, do any indicators on the keyboard blink?  That would be an indication of a kernel panic. 
    If there are no blinking lights, does it unlock eventually?
    Has the machine ever been stable?
    Have you tried installing a RAM test in your boot loader and running it?
    Next, I would start blacklisting any kernel module you don't absolutely need to see if you can isolate it that way.
    Also, this looks ominous:
    Apr 29 07:49:48 lore kernel: This system BIOS has enabled interrupt remapping
    on a chipset that contains an erratum making that
    feature unstable. To maintain system stability
    interrupt remapping is being disabled. Please
    contact your BIOS vendor for an update
    I redouble my suggestion you pare down loaded modules to try and isolate this.
    Also, I see that it looks at the microcode
    Apr 29 07:49:48 lore kernel: microcode: CPU0 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x1, revision=0x11
    Apr 29 07:49:48 lore kernel: microcode: CPU1 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x1, revision=0x11

    Apr 29 07:49:48 lore kernel: microcode: CPU3 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x1, revision=0x11
    Apr 29 07:49:48 lore kernel: microcode: CPU4 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x1, revision=0x11
    Apr 29 07:49:48 lore kernel: microcode: CPU5 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x1, revision=0x11
    Apr 29 07:49:48 lore kernel: microcode: CPU6 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x1, revision=0x11
    Apr 29 07:49:48 lore kernel: microcode: CPU7 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x1, revision=0x11
    But I don't see it being updated.  That might be normal for your processor, but double check that and ensure you have the microcode update stuff installed in the boot loader correctly.

  • Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

    Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
    Requirement:
    Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
    Preferred solution:
    The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
    u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
    u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
    u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
    u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
    Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
    As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
    My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
    Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
    Thanks everyone for your input...
    Claus

    HI CLause,
    On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
    FYI: Found a solution...
    The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
    With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
    The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
    Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
    As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
    If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
    Claus
    See this thread:
    Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
    I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
    I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
    many thanks

  • Jabber for Windows 10.5 shows contacts from Address Book multiple times?

    What would cause Jabber for Windows 10.5.1 to show a contact multiple times from the address book when searching?  See attached screenshot. 

    I tried removing firefox and rebooting/reinstalling Jabber with no luck.  I reimaged my machine and loaded 10.5.2 fresh install with no previous versions and still getting the random crash.  Also, I have users who say it has crashed on them during a WebEx and have had installation problems when upgrading from 9.x to 10.5.x.  Version 9 is very solid, sticking with 9.7.5.  I have about 10% of my test users having varying problems with version 10.5.x, waiting till the next release.  Hopefully Cisco will spend a few more weeks testing the next one before publishing it on their site.
    --edit--
    Also, when you finally get frustrated and want to downgrade, Jabber 10.5.x doesn't uninstall completely and you end up with an error like the image attached when you try to install v9.7.5 for example and can't install Jabber even after rebooting.  I had to run Microsoft Fix It install/Uninstall option and tell it to uninstall Jabber before Windows allowed me to install an older version of Jabber.  Not too happy with this release.  Strange enough though, some of my users have the exact same laptop I do, same windows build, same patches, etc, and it works fine for them.  Anyway, not deploying this one.  Good luck.
