Problem using 2 Fact tables with the same dimension

Hi,
I have noticed a very strange behaviour in Presentation Services / BI Administrator. I have 2 cubes (created in OWB) which are in the same business model, they are set up with foreign keys etc. and works as they should using them separately. Problem is (sometimes!) when I want to use the common dimension (Project) against both of the fact tables (Sales Order and Purchase Order).
Scenario 1:
If I use Project Id, Purchase Amount, Sales Amount I get either an amount in Sales Amount or in Purchase Amount, BUT if the Project Id starts with a letter (not starting with a number) it will show the correct amount for both Sales- and Purchase Amount.
Scenario 2:
I use Project Description (even followed by Project Id or not), Sales Amount, Purchase Amount I get the correct numbers for all projects. Project Description must come before Project Id or else it will not work.
I only noticed this problem when using both of the Fact tables since I want to compare Sales Amount and Purchase Amount in each Project. The Dimension for Project consist of Project, Sub Project and Activity and works fine. If I only use Sales Amount or Purchase Amount with Project Id I don't get this error. Only when both numbers are used.
I would be very happy if anyone have a good solution/explanation to this problem! Seems like could be something in the BI Server memory that goes wrong somewhere.

The strange thing is that the results from the queries are correct running them in SQL Developer. This is one that works:
SELECT Project.Project saw_0, "- SalesOrderFact"."Sales Amount" saw_1, "- PurchaseOrderFact"."Purchase Amount" saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY ) FROM SalesOrder ORDER BY saw_0
SALES ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION as c1,
sum(T161.SALES_AMOUNT_LOCAL) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_SALES_ORDER T161
where ( T161.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
order by c1
PURCHASE_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION as c1,
sum(T3020.TOTAL_BUY_AMOUNT) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_PURCH_ORDER T3020
where ( T3020.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
order by c1
And this will give the wrong result in Answers (correct in SQL..):
SELECT Project."Project Id" saw_0, "- SalesOrderFact"."Sales Amount" saw_1, "- PurchaseOrderFact"."Purchase Amount" saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY ) FROM SalesOrder ORDER BY saw_0
SALES_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID as c1,
sum(T161.SALES_AMOUNT_LOCAL) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_SALES_ORDER T161
where ( T161.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID
order by c1
PURCHASE_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID as c1,
sum(T3020.TOTAL_BUY_AMOUNT) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_PURCH_ORDER T3020
where ( T3020.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID
order by c1
As you can see the SQL look very familiar, and I cannot see anything in SQL that should be the cause of this error. I think the error must be in the BI Memory or something.
Any ideas?

  • Modelling 2 Fact Tables with Non-Conforming Dimension in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    I have two fact tables (Fact 1 and Fact 2) and two dimension tables (Product and Rule). The Product dimension table is a conforming dimension and is used in both fact tables, but the Rule dimension is a non-conforming dimension which is used only one fact table. I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.0).
    ====
    Fact 1
    ====
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
    S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
    S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
    S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
    S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
    Notes for Fact 1:
    - One Sales ID can have multiple Product IDs
    - Sales Description and Sales Status are the same for one Sales ID (repeating Sales Description and Sales Status for the same Sales ID)
    ====
    Fact 2
    ====
    Sales ID | Product ID | Rule ID | Score
    S001 | P001 | R001 | 2
    S001 | P001 | R002 | 3
    S001 | P002 | R003 | 1
    S002 | P001 | R003 | 1
    S002 | P003 | R002 | 2
    S002 | P003 | R004 | 5
    Notes for Fact 2:
    - One combination of Sales ID and Product ID can have multiple Rule ID
    I'm wondering how best to model these tables so that I can create this report (number of the dimension and fact tables created in the business model, level mapping, aggregation rule, etc)? Any suggestion/advice on how to achieve this?
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Dhar, thanks for the suggestions.
    I tested what you suggested, but the result is not as per my expectation mentioned above. Here's what I did:
    1. In physical layer:
    - I joined Fact 1 table with Product dimension table only
    - I joined Fact 2 table with Product and Rule dimension tables
    2. In business model layer:
    - I created 3 logical tables: Fact, Product, and Rule
    - The Product table contains the Product ID and Product Name from the Product dimension table in the physical layer
    - I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Product with only ProductTotal level (as the grand total level) and ProductDetail level that contains Product ID and Product Name
    - The Rule table contains the Rule ID and Rule Name from the Rule dimension table in the physical layer
    - I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Rule with only RuleTotal level (as the grand total level) and RuleDetail level that contains Rule ID and Rule Name
    - The Fact table contains 2 logical tables sources: Fact 1 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleTotal) and Fact 2 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleDetail)
    - The Fact table contains Sales ID logical column (mapped to both Fact 1 and Fact 2 logical table sources)
    - The Fact table also contains Sales Description and Sales Status logical columns (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is the default to None
    - The Fact table also contains Quantity logical column (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
    - The Fact table also contains Score logical column (mapped to only Fact 2), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
    OBIEE returns the expected result when I retrieve the report:
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
    However, OBIEE returns an error when I retrieve the reports:
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID
    or
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
    The error is:
    Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
    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: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request FACT.SALES_STATUS. (HY000)
    And the Score column is blank when I retrieved this report:
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Score
    Any suggestion anyone? Please help. Thanks a lot!

  • Is it possible to have 2 tables with the same name in an Orable database?

    Hello,
    I'm a complete Oracle newbie so please excuse my question if it's stupid.
    I was trying to create 2 tables with the same name using different tablespaces but it does not seem to work. Like this (second time just change the name of the tablespace):
    CREATE TABLE test_tbl (
      id INTEGER,
      status VARCHAR2(10),
      last_modified DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE
    TABLESPACE tblspc1Is it in general in Oracle possible to acquire this goal?
    Thanks a lot!
    P.S. I have already created the needed tablespaces
    CREATE TABLESPACE tblspc1 DATAFILE 'tblspc1.dbf' SIZE 10MEdited by: 808239 on 02-Mar-2011 02:18

    It is not possible to create two tables with same name in same schema.
    A user can own one schema with his own name and another with the schema name SYS.
    For this you have to grant sysdba privilage to the user and then have to connect using sys password or with the password specified in password file.
    But this still you have to access to the table in sys schema using sys.table_name.
    Hope Answered tthe Question.

    How do I correct the problem of two routers with the same OSPF Router IDs?

    Hi,
    The answer above is correct, though you don't really need to reload, you can just simply clear the OSPF process with the following command:

  • Why is the Star Transformation using two indexes for the same dimension?

    Hi,
    Recently, I have made an investigation about the Star Transformation feature. I have found a strange test case, which plays an important role in my strategy for our overall DWH architecture. Here it is:
    The Strategy:
    I would like to have the classical Star Transformation approach (single column Bitmap Indexes for each dimension foreign key column in the fact table), together with additional Bitmap Join Indexes for some of the dimension attributes, which would benefit from the materialization of the join (bitmap merge operation will be skipped/optimized).
    The query:
    select dp.brand, ds. region_name, dc.region_name
         , count(*), sum(f.extended_price)
      from fact_line_item  f
         , dim_part       dp
         , dim_supplier   ds
         , dim_customer   dc
    where dp.mfgr        = 10                 -- dimension selectivity = 1/10 --> acttual/fact selectivity = 6/10
       and f.part_dk      = dp.dk
       and ds.region_name = 'REGION #1' -- dimension selectivity = 1/9
       and f.supplier_dk  = ds.dk
       and dc.region_name = 'REGION #1' -- dimension selectivity = 1/11
       and f.customer_dk  = dc.dk
    group by dp.brand, ds. region_name, dc.region_name

    The Question:
    Why is the Star Transformation using both indexes FACT_LI__P_PART_DIM_KEY_BIX and FACT_LI__P_PART_MFGR_BJX for the same dimension criteria (dp.mfgr = 10)?? The introduction of the additional Bitmap Join Index actually make Oracle to do the work twice !!!
    Anybody, any idea ?!?

  • 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
    For more detail information, please refer to the article below:

  • 2 Fact Tables with a same content level

    Hi,
    I have 2 fact tables F1,F2  joined to the same 4 dimensions D1,D2,D3,D4.The detail level # of elements multiplied for all the dimensions D1,D2,D3,D4 are the same for both dimension.I even set the content level for the 2 fact tables and the content filter is the same in both fact tables F1.Column1=0 in F1 fact table and F2.Column1=0 in F2 fact table.So how does OBIEE decide which fact table to select in this scenario.
    I went through the below blog but could not get much information
    http://obiee-blog.info/administration-tool/what-rule-is-followed-when-several-fact-are-at-the-same-content-level/
    I appreciate if anyone can guide me with the right answers.

    How many records retrieving when joining F1 & F2 with dimension ? if the f1 and d1 has 200 records and f2 and d1 is retriving 100 records it chooses shortest path.
    thanks,
    Saichand

  • Use two VIs with the same name, different functionality on a single Project

    Hi, I'm working with vision builder al labview, I need to integrate the vision builder migration Vis into my main program, (Is not an option), but I have multiple Vis autogenerated with the same name, how can i integrate them in the same project without dependency problems
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Unless you really need tight integration between the Vision code and the rest of your LabVIEW application, or would rather not have to pay for a Vision Builder AI runtime license on the targets on which you want to deploy your final application, I would recommend you look into using the Vision Builder AI LabVIEW API instead of migrating the inspection to LabVIEW.
    The API allows to control Vision Builder AI by launching a Vision Builder AI engine, running the inspection and retrieving resulting images and results.
    The advantage of the API is that it allows for easier modification and debugging of the Vision Inspection that you designed in Vision Builder, if you need to make changes later. (i.e. all you need to do is open the inspection in Vision Builder AI, modify parameters, add steps etc).
    You won't have to change your LabVIEW application, unless you want to output additional results.
    When you build and deploy your application, you will need to install Vision Builder AI on the target machine and get a runtime license for it.
    Migrating the inspection to LabVIEW is a one way deal. If you need to make changes to the inspection, you will have to migrate the inspection again, or modify the code outside of the Vision Builder AI environment.
    As you might have noticed, the code generated is quite complex, and it is recommended to go this route only if you need really tight integration/synchronization between the vision code and the rest or your LabVIEW code, or if you would rather pay for a cheaper Vision runtime license rather than a VBAI runtime license for the deployment machine (in case of deploying multiple systems where cost is a big consideration).
    Vision Builder AI API examples are located in this folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Vision Builder AI\API Examples\LabVIEW Examples
    Hope this helps clarify the use cases and help you make the right decision for your design.
    Best regards,
    Christophe

  • How do I create a target table with the same PK as the source table?

    I am trying to create a target table in a mapping that will end up with the same primary key as the source table.
    It is a simple map that simply uses a subset of the columns of the source table in the target table. I was wanting to create and bind a new table by dragging the columns I want from the source to the initially blank target table operator, change the column names and create a primary key to match the source table.
    I can't seem to be able to create a constraint on the table in the mapping. I can create the constraint after the table is created and boound to the database object but the PK doesn't carry back into the mapping.
    I need it in the mapping so I can use the UPDATE/INSERT operation and use the 'All Constraints' implementation. The mapping won't let me validate the object without the PK on it in the map.
    Believe it or not folks, I am getting better at this.
    Thanks very much for the guidance.
    Gary

    Hi Gary
    You are close, you are really close... :-))
    You need to do exactly as you propose plus one extra step. Build the map as you describe, binding the new table to the target. Then you edit the table definition to add the primary key and any other constraints you need. After this is the step that you are missing.
    You need to do the following:
    1. Go back and re-edit the map
    2. Right click on the table
    3. From the pop up menu, select Reconcile Inbound
    4. Set any operators that you need for the UPDATE/INSERT
    5. Save the map
    6. Commit your changes
    The first three steps above make the map read in the indexes and constraints that you set on the table. Finally, you need to deploy the table and then deploy the map.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Using "Next style" with the same paragraph style for more than one paragraph

    Hi.
    I have been using paragraph styles with the "next style" option, it's a huge help. But I need a bit more. So I have the following paragraph structure: ABCCCABCCCAB...
    I defined paragraph styles for each kind of paragraph, then in paragraph style A, I added paragraph style B as the next style, and so on. However, when I get to paragraph style C I reach a dilemma. Should I define the next style as the same, or define three paragraph C styles (C1, C2 and C3), link them to each other with next style, and then loop the C3 style into the A style again?
    My hope is that there is a way, something like the nested style options, that allows me to define that style C should be used for 3 paragraphs and then the next style becomes style A again.
    Thanks.

    You just need two styles, almost identical, you can duplicate one.  The only
    difference is one has the next paragraph c and one has the next paragraph
    a.  After that I don't see the problem.

  • Can I use 2 iPhones with the same iTunes account? help...

    At the moment I have an iPhone 3G but my wife doesn't. I have a Windows Vista machine at home that has all our music in iTunes and all the apps I have downloaded from the app store. We only have 1 login to our windows vista PC that we share, we don't have individual signons.
    On Friday I will be upgrading to the 3Gs and my wife will also be getting one.
    My question is can we sync both iPhones with the same PC using the same Windows login and the same iTunes account, i.e. share all music and apps with both iPhones?
    Thanks

    A computer can sync a dozen iPods and/or iPhones (just saying).
    However, You can't use more than one computer for that iPhone.

  • Insert recordset in 2 tables with the same id

    Hello,
    I have two tables with the columns
    CAR                              Client
    clientId[FK]                  clientId [PK]
    carId[PK]                        name
    brand                           surname
    type 
    I made a form with textfields
    Brand
    Surname
    Name
    Type 
    and I want thru Insert Recordset wizard to pass the cliendId in both tables.
    How can I do this?

    You can do this by not relying on the recordset wizard and simply coding it yourself to INSERT data to tables. Or use wizard to insert into one table and modify code to allow insert into two tables.
    best,

  • Runtime prompts with the same dimension

    Hello,
    I'm setting up a business rule to contain two variables referring to members in the same dimension (for example, Account_VAR and Account_Basis_VAR both using Member of the Account dimension). I would like to have Account_VAR default as filled based on the selected member on the form (and hidden) and then have Account_Basis_VAR default to the same account as Account_VAR, but selectable based on which accounts the user has Read access to.
    The calculation is working properly and the values are being distributed to the Account selected (Account_VAR) based on the current allocation to level 0 in the base account(Account_Basis_VAR), but I would like to hide Account_VAR while still prompting for Account_Basis_VAR. I've tried a few iterations of settings but both account prompts always appear in the runtime prompt window.
    Is there a workaround for this?

    The strange thing is that the results from the queries are correct running them in SQL Developer. This is one that works:
    SELECT Project.Project saw_0, "- SalesOrderFact"."Sales Amount" saw_1, "- PurchaseOrderFact"."Purchase Amount" saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY ) FROM SalesOrder ORDER BY saw_0
    SALES ORDER:
    select T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION as c1,
    sum(T161.SALES_AMOUNT_LOCAL) as c2
    from
    DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
    CUBE_SALES_ORDER T161
    where ( T161.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
    group by T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
    order by c1
    PURCHASE_ORDER:
    select T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION as c1,
    sum(T3020.TOTAL_BUY_AMOUNT) as c2
    from
    DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
    CUBE_PURCH_ORDER T3020
    where ( T3020.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
    group by T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
    order by c1
    And this will give the wrong result in Answers (correct in SQL..):
    SELECT Project."Project Id" saw_0, "- SalesOrderFact"."Sales Amount" saw_1, "- PurchaseOrderFact"."Purchase Amount" saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY ) FROM SalesOrder ORDER BY saw_0
    SALES_ORDER:
    select T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID as c1,

    from

    As you can see the SQL look very familiar, and I cannot see anything in SQL that should be the cause of this error. I think the error must be in the BI Memory or something.
