'Quarter' charecteristic in the Cube.

There are 2 infoobject. 0CALQAUART1 and 0CALQUARTER. If I need the quarter in the cube, what is the best option to go by?
Can some one share the experience. Points will be awarded.

One contains calendar year. The other doesn't. I would just put both in the cube. This won't affect the data volume assuming you're already using time chars with higher granularity - example 0calmonth. This would provide more flexibility to meet your reporting requirements.

  • How to load data in the cube

    dear all,
    I need some help: I'm new to OWB and I'm trying to load a cube with dimensions keys data. I have successfully deployed the cube and dimensions without any problems. Now when I deploy the mapping to load the cube I cannot get any data there...
    - I have tried mapping by using dimension operator and cube operator by mapping dimension business keys with keys in the cube...and still no data...
    -I have also tried joining all the dimensions with the joint operator and joint condition with the cube as input and have the output to the cube...but still no data. I have also disable the constraints on the cube for the purpose of loading the data, but without much success. What am I doing wrong?
    Any help and guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!
    Akym

    It sounds like you are not getting any matching keys for loading into the cube.
    Do you have a time dimension created by OWB in the cube? The key used by the cube operator for an OWB time dimension is a formatted number. The time dimension keys are stored as follows;
    Day Level - YYYYMMDD
    Month Level - YYYYMM
    Week Level - YYYYWW
    Quarter - YYYYQ
    Year - YYYY
    If you have a source that has a SQL date datatype for example and want to construct the key for a cube's time dimension at the day level something like the following expression can be used to construct the time reference from a SQL date...
    to_number(to_char( time_key, 'YYYYMMDD'))
    It may not be this but just a thought.
    Cheers

    There are 2 dimensions on the cube.
    Date, Country.
    I am not sure how to build a cube on this data.
    with t as (
    select 19900101 transaction_Day_no,     'US' country_no,     34 total_amount from dual union all
    select 19900101,    'IND',         35  from dual union all

    group by cube(transaction_Day_no, country_no);
    I am using AWM. I have tried to build by selecting the following aggregate for the cube
    max for the country_no and
    sum for the tranaction_Day_no
    But i am getting incorrect results.
    If i select sum for both country_no and transaction_no then also i get incorrect results.
    Please help me solve this issue.
    thanks

    Thanks for all your reply's.
    The problem is that i have duplicates because
    One report can have many customers.
    One customer can have many countries.
    One customer can have many reports.
    If i include the report number in the above data and do a sum on both day and report_number and max for everything else then everything is find and i am getting correct results.
    But if i take out the report dimension then i am stuffed.
    Also the problem is that i can't have one big dimension for the report as the number of reports are in access of 300M
    We have tried to solve this issue by having the fullowing.
    Dummy Cube.
    This has all the combination of all the dimension in the fact table with the report dimension as only one row(-1)
    Report Dimension for each Quarter(34M rows each)
    Quarter Cube is build.
    Then add the values from all the Quarter Cube with the Dummy Cube.
    Tried for 2 Quarter and its working fine results are correct as well.
    Only problem is that its taking a long time to build the cube because of the report dimension.
    I am trying to find a way to remove the report dimension but still use it. As we only use report dimension at level 'ALL'
    But if we do aggregation at 'ALL' level the answers are wrong again.
    Thanks for looking into this and taking time to reply.

  • Joining the cube members in OBI

    Hi
    I have got the following members in cube :
    Years
    --- 2007
    ---- 2008
    ---- 2009
    Year
    ---- Quarter
    ----- Month
    ----- Day
    and the other FACT members.
    Now When I am importing the cube into OBI there would be two separate tables and drill down would be limited to each table like clicking on Years will give me 2007, 2008 and 2009 and clicking on Year will give me Q1, Q2,...Q4 clicking on Q1 will give Jan , Feb ..Mar.
    Is it possible to join these two
    In a nutshell ..there are two different heirarchies and I want to join both...so taht on clicking 2007 i will get Q1,Q2...and clicking on Q1...will get Jan ,Feb ...
    Pls. help.

    Hi nameless,
    Ok well if your Gen2,Year really only contains the 4 members Q1 through Q4 then you can do the following (note that this is a simple model and will not reflect yours 100%):
    Create a new logical table. E.g. "Total Time". Within that, create 4 new logical columns: Year, Quarter, Month and Day. Map them as follows:
    Year = "Sample"."Sample".."Gen2,Years"
    Quarter = "Sample"."Sample".."Gen2,Year"
    Month = "Sample"."Sample".."Gen3,Year"
    Day = "Sample"."Sample".."Gen4,Year"
    Then create a new dimension, likewise called "Total Time". Create the 4 levels (grand total not necessarily needed, but you can use Gen1,Years for that of you'd like). Assign each logical column to its respective level Gen2,Years = Year = Year level; Gen4,Year = Day = Day level etc.
    Set logical level keys and you're done. Expose in the presentation table and test. I haven't run through all combinations, but the concept works fine with an Essbase source since the MDX will get the numbers from the respective levels / data intersection points.

  • While browsing the cube data Excel the circle pointer starts to spin and the excel go into a not-responding state,any recommendations to improve performance in excel?

    hi,
    while browsing the cube data Excel the circle pointer starts to spin and the excel go into a not-responding state,any recommendations to improve performance in excel? 
    I have 20 measures and 8 dimensions.
    while filtering data by using dimensions in excel it is taking so much time.
    Ex:
    I browsed 15 measures in excel and filtered data based on time(quarter  wise) and other dimesion product. It is taking long time to get  data.
    Can you please help on this issue.
    Regards,

    Hi Samba,
    What're the versions of your Office Excel and SQL Server Analysis Services? It will be helpful if you can share the detail computer resource information to us while encountered this issue.
    In addition, we don't know your cube structure and the underlying relationships. But you can take a look at the following articles to troubleshoot the performance issue:

  • Can not find master data in the cube

    ItemNo is an navigation attribute of 0Material. We are using 0material in a cube. When I display the cube data include ItemNo, I don't find the data I am looking for. For example:
    In 0Material:
    0Material      ItemNo    Description
    AAA                001           Test
    BBB                002           Test
    In the cube I expect to see:
    0Material             ItemNo            On Hand Qty
    AAA                      001                      1000
    BBB                      002                       2000
    Instead I saw:
    0Material             ItemNo            On Hand Qty
    AAA                                                1000
    BBB                                                2000
    0Material got refreshed after cube data got loaded. Is that why I don't find the refreshed Master data?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    When you laod the cube, the Values for Master are automatically get created in the master data (If they are not present earlier and with "Data Update Type in the Data Tragets" setting in InfoPackage).
    Now when you are loading your cube with 0Material and Item Number, the values for Item Number seems blank. Thats the reason why you are not able to see the Item Number in Cube though it is present in Master. Because now these are two different keys, one with Item Number value and other without Item Number value.

  • Material type not getting displayed in the cube........

    Hi,
    In my infocube material type for one of the material is not getting displayed.
    When I check in the content of the cube for this material all the fileds are getting displayed except material type.
    However it is present in the material master data from which it is put into the update rules to populate in the cube.
    Its getting displayed for some other materials , so we cant say that mapping is wrong or problem with update rules.
    Can some body let me know what could be the reason.
    Thanks,
    Jeetu

    Hi Jeetu,
    can you check in your cube if you have for one material, entries with AND entries without the MATL_TYPE? If this is the case then you were loading transactional data before having the corresponding material master data.
    You should adapt your scenario:
    - first do not use the standard attribute derivation during your URules: performance is very bad.
    - implement a start routine filling an internal table with your material and MATL_TYPE for all entries of material in your datapackage.
    - implement an update routine on the MATL_TYPE with a READ on this internal table an raise an ABORT = 4 if the MATL_TYPE is initial or the material in not found.
    Now to fix your situation you'll have to reload your cube or alternatively just reload your missing MATL_TYPE MATERIAL from your cube itself and selective delete those which are empty.
    hope this helps...

  • Amount not getting displayed in the cube

    Hi,
    I have a ZTable which has got an Amount field declared like this.
    AMOUNT     WAERS     CUKY     5     0     Currency Key
    And I declared a ZAMOUNT as Amount in the cube and provided 0CURRENCY.
    Initially there was no value in the Amount column in the Ztable and hence could not see any value of Amount in the cube.But after entering values in the ZTable, I deleted the replicated the DS, create TR, UR and then create an InfoPckg and then created the Data Transfer Process. But still I am not able to see the Amount Value in the cube.
    Kindly Help

    Hi Edwin,
    Assigning and mapping which you mentioned is just pulling an arrow from the left Amount to right ZAmount, right? I did that. But there is an additional 0Currency on the right side without getting mapped? Should I map that also to Amount? Any issue with Rules.

  • Fields in the cube

    Hi Experts
    Here client wants 200 fields in cube
    whether that is suggestable help me in this
    Regards
    Anand

    Hi,
    Its possible to have that many fields in the cube, but you have to consider what the reporting requirements are and how the data is connected, etc. You also have to consider how much data volume is going to be generated and at what level you are going to store the data in the cube. If your client is suggesting you to have line item level or granular data in your cube , suggest to them to have that in an ODS and provide jump queries from the cube to the ODS if necessary.
    If many of the fields are not going to be required for reporting at present or in the future, suggest to the client to have them in the ODS and a smaller subset of the fields in the cubes.

  • How to Delete the dimension from the cube ?

    Hi ,
    how to Delete the dimension from the cube ?
    i have added the new dimension by assiging one characteristic to that dimension .
    now i  want to delete it ,
    but system saying that   Dimension ZXXX  contains InfoObjects; deletion not possible .
    how to delete it ? any help .
    Thanks

    Make sure you donot have any data in cube. If you have some data in cube, then you will not be able to see Delete option.
    Right click on the cube-->Delete data.
    Then double click on the cube>Goto Edit mode> select the IO under that Dimension> right click> now you will be able to see the Delete option (provided you have deleted all the date from Cube)
    Then right click on Dimension-->Delete

  • Could not see the data in the cube

    Hi all,
    Iam trying to load data from one cube to another. Everything is fine but Iam not able to see the data in the new cube.
    I created 2 cubes--> Cube A new & cube B new which are copied from existing cubes cube A and Cube B. I need to load data from these new cubes cube Anew & cube B new to another cube (cube C new)  which is also a copy of existing cube C. I created update rules and activated them.I tried to load the data into the cube C new. I can see the load to be green but I cannot see the data in the cube C new. it shows 0 records in cube C new. there are records in cube A new & cube B new.
    Can anyone plz help me out.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Preethi.

    Hi Balu,
    I dont know what exactly the problem was but even after the load was successful i could not see any records in the new cube. The source cubes had 60,446 and 7595 records. but the target cube had 0 records.
    I ran the program SAP_FACTVIEWS_RECREATE as Bhanu suggested and deleted the data from the new cube(inspite of having 0 records I deleted them). I tried to load the data again which was successful and I could see the data in the new cube.
    Hope its clear.
    Thanks,

  • Could not see loaded data in the Cube

    Hi Gurus,
    Pl. help me in this: I am not able to get teh data loaded into the cube. In PSA it is loaded right. after that I created Transformation on InfoCube and I got Proposal Generated. Then I created DTP and executed, and monitor shows green. but when I right click on the cube and look for data(also maintain master data on InfoObject), I see only the headers of the table but no data is displayed.
    I hope you have similar situations. Thanking you in advance.

    Check if the request is reportable, sometimes the load could be fine, but the request may not be reportable. Make sure in your start routine you don't have a routine which will filter or delete the data out from the cube before it gets update.
    thanks.
