Reporting that traverses two fact tables

I have searched and am stumped on how to make the work in OBIEE. I can do it with straight SQL on the physical layer, but can't get OBIEE to accept it. I have a customer history fact table that contains several measures and connects to several dimensions. This creates one star. I have a campaign (ad campaign) dim that connects to an Account_Campaign Fact, as one Account may have many campaigns. The Account Dim connects also to the CustHistory fact. When I try and use information from the CustHistoryFact against information in the either the Campaign Dim, or the AccountCampaign fact, I get the following error:"{color:#800000}[nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression . . . Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000){color}"
In the administration tool, everything checks out as consistent, and I have verified that I can get the correct result using SQL on the physical side.
My diagram is roughly
Customer(and other)Dim -< CustHistoryFact >-AcctNbrDim -< AccountCampaignFact >- CampaignDim
Any ideas?

Hi...
From your scenario, there are 2 facts seems CustHistoryFact, AccountCampaignFact.
And dimensions are: Customer(and other)Dim, AcctNbrDim, and CampaignDim
Do one thing, one of good technique to avoid this error is : mention the levels (Hierarchies) in administration tool. i.e. rpd.
For the 2 fact tables, whatever the tables directly connecting to fact tables (or which are having direct joins) need to mention levels in detail level, and for the the dimensions which are not related directly, (or which are not having direct joins to facts) need to mention levels in total level.
I think you might have known about the level mentioning in rpd, go to the particular fact table source in BMP layer, double-click > Content tab, here you find the hierarchies you created, there you need to mention your levels.
For your scenario, For fact CustHistoryFact table source, mention detail level for Customer(and other)Dim and AcctNbrDim
............................................................................, mention total level for CampaignDim
In the same way, for fact AccountCampaignFact table source, mention detail level for CampaignDim and AcctNbrDim
...................................................................................., mention total level for Customer(and other)Dim

  • How to create a ROLAP Cube that has two fact tables.

    I want to know if it is possible to create a ROLAP Cube with two fact tables.
    Suppose that I have these two star schemas:
    The first star schema has only a measure and a time dimension. The time dimension has three levels (Year -> Month -> Day)
    The second star schema has the same measure of the first schema and a time dimension. In this schema the time dimension has only two levels (Year -> Month). The values of the measure of this schema come from the first schema, this is, the value of the measure for a defined year and month results of the sum of all fact values of the first schema, that have the same year and month.
    I want to know if is possible to create a ROLAP cube that can get the information of the two star schemas, according to the level that the user are consulting.
    For example, if the user consults the cube with "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In", and if the user is consulting the first two levels (Year and Month), then the ROLAP cube would get the information of the second star schema.
    But if the user does a drill down in a month to get information of the days, then the ROLAP cube would get the information of the first star schema.
    Is it possible to do this?
    Regards,
    Rui Torres

    I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. Sorry if I get this wrong.
    You have two fact tables, one with data values at the day, month and year levels and a second fact table with data values at just the month and year levels. If this is the case, in the CWM2 APIs or OWB Paris, you would create a view that joins the two tables together and then map this view to the ROLAP cube.
    For CWM2 details, please refer to the Oracle OLAP Reference.

  • Report based on two fact tables

    Hi,
    i've the same issue, of thread
    report based on 2 different Fact tables I've read reply marked as "CORRECT" but I don't understand what to do precisely. Can you explain better?
    How Can I create an alias?
    What about "If the dimensions are directly linked then mention detailed level else mention the total level which has no direct join b/w fact and dimension... "???
    I hope in your help. Thanks
    Thanks

    HI Daan,
    thanks for reply. Can you explain better point number 2?
    I have created an alias for my table (because i use MOLAP approach, i haven't a table but a cube view generated by View Generator Plug-in). Now what i must do with my alias table? Furthermore can you explain better point 2? Finally how i must create complex joins of my new fact table ?
    I am newbye of Administration Tool, so i would need of a visual explanation or of a step by step explanation. Can you give me it?
    I need of your help, because I must finish a project for my customer

  • Data from two fact tables??

    I have a report in which I am comparing two fact tables at month level. I have columns calculated at this level.
    One fact has all month entries and other does not have all.
    I need to show all the month values and measures in the report even if some months donot exist in one fact and exists in the other.
    Currently, my report shows only those months which two facts have in common.
    Please suggest.

    Left join didnot work for me..Still getting the same result.
    I created two identical reports from two identical facts.... using "combine with similar request"
    Dummied columns from 2nd fact (placed 0s) for 1st report
    and dummied columns from 1st fact (placed 0s) for 2nd report.
    In the fnal report..
    I am getting two rows for each month..
    I need to club those two rows into single row by summing up the values..is that possible?
    January ..................10 .........0

  • Querying against two fact tables with non conformed dimension

    I have two fact tables and I have this set up in RPD :
    Fact1 joined to DimA and DimB
    Fact2 joined to DimA
    On Front end I build two analysis:
    Analysis 1:
    DimA.A, Fact1.1, Fact2.2
    Analysis 2 :
    DimA.A, DimB.B, Fact1.1, Fact2.2
    In the results of Analysis 1 , I am seeing correct values for Fact2.2
    In the results of Analysis 2, I am seeing Fact2.2 as empty column. I think the reason is that Fact2 is not joined to DIMB.
    Is it possible that I should be able to report against both dimension tables (DIMA and DIMB) columns for FACT1 and FACT2 measures.... Even though I don't have join between DIMB and FACT2.
    Any response would be helpful!!!
    Regards,
    Annu

    Hi,
    Go to the LTS-- Content Level of the fact which does not have join with Dimension and put Total level for that Dimension and total level on Column(Measure also)(Double click --Levels)(Assume Dim Hierarchy is  already set up)
    Pull everything(D1,D2,F1,F2) You will see results.
    Update Me

  • Unable to join two fact tables via one common dimension in RPD(Repository)

    I have created two fact tables F1 & F2 and one dimension D.
    F1 is joined to D and F2 is also joined to D in Physical layer as well as in BMM layer.
    I created one report in OBI Answers using these three tables.It Showed me the following error.

  • Joining two fact tables with different dimensions into single logical table

    Hi Gurus,
    I try to accomplish in Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.3.0:
    F1 (D1, D2 and D3)
    F2 (D1 and D2 and D4)
    And we want to build a report F1 F2 D1 D2 D3 D4 to have data for:
    F1 that match only for D1-D2-D3
    and data for
    F2 that match only D1-D2-D4
    all that in one row, so D3 and D4 are not common dimensions.
    I can only do:
    F3 (D1, D2)
    F4 (D1, D2 and D4)
    And report
    F3 F4 D1,D2,D4 (all that in one row, and only D4 is not a common dimension)
    Here is the very good example how to accomplish the scenario 1

    Thanks for all your replies.
    Actually, I've tried the solutions you guys mentioned. Generally speaking, the result should be displayed. However, my scenario is a little bit tricky.
    table Y's figures are not the aggregation of table X for D dimension. Instead, table Y's figures include not only D dimension total, but also others (others do not mean A, B, C dimension). For example, table Y stores all food's figure, while table X stores only drink's figure. D dimension is only about drink's detail. In my scenario, other foods' figure is not provided.
    So, even if I set D dimension to all/total for table X, table X's result is still not the same as table Y.
    Indeed, table Y does not have a column key to join to D dimension's key. So, if I select D dimension and table Y's measures at the same time in BI Answer, result returns no data. Hence, I can't compare table X and table Y's results with selection of D dimension.
    Is there any solution to solve this problem?

    I am just assigned to a new project. This is my first maintenance request: two fact tables F1 and F2 that shares same set of dimemsion tables D1 and D2. In the Answers report, if I use a foreign key in either F1 or F2, for example F1.k1, I get an error of meta data inconsistency. But if I use same column from dimension table D1.k1, then no error.
    Your help is very much appreciated.

  • Obiee report across non additive fact tables

    I have two fact tables (f1,f2) joined two conformed dimensions d1,d2

    I have tried to construct a report with c1,c2,col1,col2 and it works fine
    when i try to do c1,c2,c3,c4,col1,col4 second fact table cols are null.
    Can someone please guide how to resolve this issue.

    there is a rule saying When you are combining multiple fact tables(stars) in a single report, the measures should be aggregated. This is like best practice.
    So in your scenario, you have to create 2 logical dimensions from the fact tables.
    Create logical dimensions F1D with source physical F1 and add only non aggregated measure(c3,c4), Create a hierarchy with total and detail level.
    Create logical dimensions F2D with source physical F2 and add only non aggregated measure(col3,col4), Create a hierarchy with total and detail level.
    then for fact table f1 , set level F1d - Detail, F2d - total.
    then for fact table f2 , set level F1d - total, F2d - detail.
    Update your presentation layer. Make sure these non aggregated columns coming from F1d,F2d instead of logical fact tables.
    check for consistency.,Now save,reload/restart server. Check your reports, thats it.

  • Unexpected results getting data from two fact tables through conformed dim

    Hi all,
    We are getting an unexpected behaviour in our OBIEE 10.1.3.3.3. We have this scenario:
    We have {color:#0000ff}2 fact tables{color}{color:#000000} called F1 and F2. F1 has one measure, f1m1 and F2 has another one, f2m1.
    We have {color:#0000ff}4 conformed dimensions{color}, called D1, D2, D3, Date.
    When we are requesting for individual fact tables, we are getting:
    date d1 d2 d3 f1m1
    dt1 - x - y - z - m1
    dt1 - x - y - z' - m2
    date d1 d2 d3 f2m1
    dt1 - x - y - z - m3
    dt1 - x - y - z'' - m4
    But, trying to obtain a compare scenario, we are getting
    date d1 d2 d3 f1m1 f2m1
    dt1 x y z m1 m4
    Instead of
    date d1 d2 d3 f1m1 f2m1
    dt1 x y z m1 m3
    Looking at query log, we have catched the reason. That's why BI Server is using to solve this request using ROW_COUNT() to join SAWITH0 and SAWITH1 in SAWITH2 result set. So, the order may not be the same in the results sets in every fact table. More or less, generated query is like:
    WITH
    SAWITH0 AS
    (select ....
    from F1),
    SAWITH1 AS
    (select ...
    from F2),
    SAWITH2 AS
    select from (select ...
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER PARTITION (....) c10
    from SAWITH0.d1 full outer join SAWITH1.d1 ....) D1
    {color:#ff0000}where (D1.c10 = 1){color}
    select SAWITH2. ....
    from SAWITH2
    order by c1..c10
    The problems seems to be that BI server is ordering the result sets SAWITH0 and SAWITH1 and getting row number to join this results sets, but this is not getting the correct result.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    I ask me why you have the three select (SAWITH0,SAWITH1 and SAWITH2). Can you please paste the complete SQL performed ?
    Can you tell us also which SQL is performed if you select only the columns from one fact table and not for the other ?

  • Problem querying over two fact tables

    The business requirement is that we want to be able to see sales for two different periods of times, over different brands, different Items' years and seasons per periods.
    So for the different dimensions I created alias having two tables in the physical layer
    for Brands, Shops and Items (tables) [These are the tables where I query for different brand, Item's year and different season]. The Business Model Schema looks like this:
    Items-----> SALES <------Brands Items 2-----> SALES 2 <------------Brands 2
    ^ ^
    TIMES TIMES 2 (TIMES JOINED WITH SALES AND TIMES 2 WITH SALES 2)
    and VENDORS connected to both SALES & SALES 2 left outer joined
    The need is that I need to query over two indepedent periods of time with independed dimensions but for a common dimension (Vendors).
    The presentation data simplified looks like this:
    Answers
    Vendor Sales Qty Sales 2 Qty
    1092 234 123
    The problem is that when a vendor doesn't exist in one period it doesn't come and in the other although there are sales. So when I query with the same filters (same period of time, Brands, Items' years and seasons) over these two fact tables I get the same sales and correct data. When there are different criteria then I lose data.
    The Query fired in the database is the following:
    select distinct case when D2.c4 is not null then D2.c4 when D1.c4 is not null then D1.c4 end as c1,
    D1.c3 as c4,

  • Problems querying over two fact tables

    I have a problem! could anyone help???
    I have two fact tables (coming out from two select statements in the physical layer).
    SALES 2 is an alias of SALES. These two tables join with some dimensions. The schema is this:
    DIMENSIONS 1 >SALES <---COMMON DIMS----> SALES 2 <-- DIMENSIONS 2
    SALES has three separate dimensions joining only with it.
    SALES 2 the same.
    The problem is that there are two common dimensions between them. When I run a query for the same criteria the results are correct. But when I am running the query for different criteria SALES are affected by SALES 2 messing up the results. Probably the problem occurs by inner joining via the common dimensions. Can anyone help me please???? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    Thank you very much for your patience....Here is the SQL:
    SELECT VE04_TBL.VE_NAME saw_0, SALES.qty_1 saw_1, "SALES 2".qty_2 saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY )
    FROM lpvemprofit

  • One DIMENSION, Two FACT Tables - One WEEKLY grain, one DAILY grain

    All the OBIEE gurus, thanks for checking out this post.
    Background: We have a common DIMENSION referencing two FACT tables having different granularity.
    DIM = Customer Dim
    FACT = Forecasting (Weekly granularity)
    FACT = Sales (Daily granularity)
    There is a need to report from the Customer Dimension table AND access the Forecasting FACT (weekly grain) & Sales FACT (daily grain).
    Example of query is listed below:
    Give me customer = 'ABC' and the forecast and sales for a specific time period.
    What will be the best way to handle something like this? I have seen examples of handing multi-fact table access in OBIEE but the granularity of both the FACT tables is different (weekly vs. daily).
    Any help with an example is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Joining two fact tables for subject area

    When I tried to use two simple fact tables joined by a dimension, I am getting the “ No fact table exists at the requested level of detail” error in the answer when I try to pull the columns from Fact 1 and Fact 2 tables. I have set the content in both the fact table to lowest granularity of dimension with CUST_ID, RAT_ID, ACT_ID keys. We have one to many relationships between dimension and both the fact tables. Any feedback is highly cherished.
    Fact1: keys are: CUST_ID, RAT_ID, ACT_ID, YEAR
    Fields are CUST_ID, RAT_ID, ACT_ID, YEAR , Rev1, Transaction Date
    Fact2: keys are: CUST_ID, RAT_ID, ACT_ID, YEAR
    Fields are CUST_ID, RAT_ID, ACT_ID, YEAR , Rev2, CreationDate
    Dimension keys are CUST_ID, RAT_ID, ACT_ID

    Hi LC,
    We have to add two fact tables F1 AND F2 to an existing bmm. These fact tables have history tables F11 AND F22 and we have to use partition logic for this.How you did partition ? you should be using Fragmentation logic for that any how you will add the F11/F22 tables to F1 and F2 LTS , so when you join F1 & F2 to the common dimension then it should work for the calucluated measures but dont forgot to create hierarchies and specify the content levels for the fact tables
    Thanks,

  • Problem: two fact tables and one conformed dimension

    Hi everyone!
    I need to solve this situation:
    I have two fact tables, let's say F1 and F2, that are both linked to D1, my conformed dimension
    I just need to select fields from D1 but I know that, when querying, OBIEE links it to a fact table anyway..how does it choose the fact table? That is, if I only want fields from D1, does the system queries also from F1 or F2? Is it a random choice?
    Is there a way to "force" this choice, telling the system for example to choose only from F1?
    Is there a workaround to solve this situation? Remember, I only need fields from D1.
    Thanks!!

    The solution of your problem is "Implict Fact Column"
    Go to presentation layer and double click on your subject area. then you will see Implict fact column option. click on set. give corresponding fact column there( in your case give F1 fact column)
