Rptcurrency in WB table, fac2 tabke and fact table
I loaded a data by using a transformation file with the following logic for reptcurrency
RPTCURRENCY= *newcol(LC)
The data was successfully loaded, then I check the WB table, fac2 table and fact table respectively, I notice the following:
In WB table, rptcurreny .... signeddata
LC 5000
In Fac2 table rptcurreny .... signeddata
USD 5000
EURO 5000
In fact table rptcurreny .... signeddata
USD 5000
EURO 5000
LC 5000
I have USD,EURO and LC in the rptcurrency,USD and EURO's reporting property value as 'Y'. looks like when the system load the LC data, it copy the LC data to USD and EURO, but for me it not make scence the same value with different currency.
Anybody can explain this?
JW,
Please check your default.LGF formula at Admin console.
Default.LGF is called 'DEFAULT' which means it will be called whenever user posts their data to server.
If default.LGF includes baisc currency translation statement, it will convert value behind the scene
Of course, user can execute it again through Data manager later.
Thanks

Dimension Table and Fact Tables
Hi,
Is there any way to see the Dimension Table contents and Fact Table Contents.
For eg:- I should be able to see the DIM ID and the SID's of a Dimension.Well you can see them in SE11, by giving the table name.
Go to list schema and give the cube name. It will display all the table for that cube. Give the table name in SE11 or SE16 and see the content there. -
Number of Entries in Dimension Tables and Fact Tables
Hi all,
is there an easy way to check
- the number of entries in the dimension tables
- the number of entries in the fact table?
Thanks a lot
AlexHi Alex,
If u want to see the content of Dimension table and Fact table for a infocube then just right click on a particular info cube then select manage . Select coneten tab there , form there u can either select Fact table to see the fact table conten or Infocube content to see the Dimensiontable content.

Add Audit Columns to the Dimension and Fact tables (Created & modified date Time)
Hi All,
I am new to SSIS , I have to Add Audit Columns to the Dimension and Fact tables (Created & modified date Time) of the package.
Please let me know the best and easy way through which I can implement the same.
If possible suggest some real time example or link where I can find the same

Thankx & regards, Vipin jha MCPYou can simply use ALTER TABLE ADD.. syntax to add the columns if the tables already exist.
You can generate a single script for all tables using INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES view
You can make then of NOT NULL type and set the default value to GETDATE()
In addition you can also have a Audit Trail trigger for UPDATE to make sure Modified date gets updated correctly on each update if not passed explicitly.

Foreign keys in SCD2 dimensions and fact tables in data warehouse
Hello.
I have datawarehouse in snowflake schema. All dimensions are SCD2, the columns are like that:
ID (PK) SID NAME ... START_DATE END_DATE IS_ACTUAL
1 1 XXX 01.01.2000 01.01.2002 0
2 1 YYX 02.01.2002 01.01.2004 1
3 2 SYX 02.01.2002 1
4 3 AYX 02.01.2002 01.01.2004 0
5 3 YYZ 02.01.2004 1
On this table there are relations from other dimension and fact table.
Need I create foreign keys for relation?
And if I do, on what columns? SID (serial ID) is not unique. If I create on ID, I have to get SID and actual row in any query.>

Are you still designing your system? Why did you choose NOT to use a Star schema? Star schema's are simpler and have some performance benefits over snowflakes. Although there may be some data redundancy that is usually not an issue for data warehouse systems since any DML is usually well-managed and normalization is often sacrificed for better performance.
Only YOU can determine what foreign keys you need. Generally you will create foreign keys between any child table and its parent table and those need to be created on a primary key or unique key value.

I have no idea what that means. There isn't any way to tell from just the DDL for one dimension table that you provided.
It is not clear if you are saying that your fact table will have a direct relationship to the star-flake dimension tables or only link to them through the top-level dimensions.
Some types of snowflakes do nothing more than normalize a dimension table to eliminate redundancy. For those types the dimension table is, in a sense, a 'mini' fact table and the other normalized tables become its children. The fact table only has a relation to the main dimension table; any data needed from the dimensions 'child' tables is obtained by joining them to their 'parent'.
Other snowflake types have the main fact table having relations to one or more of the dimensions 'child' tables. That complicates the maintenance of the fact table since any change to the dimension 'child' table impacts the fact table also. It is not recommended to use that type of snowflake.
See the 'Snowflake Schemas' section of the Data Warehousing Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28313/schemas.htm
>
Snowflake Schemas
The snowflake schema is a more complex data warehouse model than a star schema, and is a type of star schema. It is called a snowflake schema because the diagram of the schema resembles a snowflake.
Snowflake schemas normalize dimensions to eliminate redundancy. That is, the dimension data has been grouped into multiple tables instead of one large table. For example, a product dimension table in a star schema might be normalized into a products table, a product_category table, and a product_manufacturer table in a snowflake schema. While this saves space, it increases the number of dimension tables and requires more foreign key joins. The result is more complex queries and reduced query performance. Figure 19-3 presents a graphical representation of a snowflake schema. -
Size of the DImension and Fact table.
Hi,
I have an info cube, now to decide weather i need to make use of line item or high cardinality .....i need to check or compare the size of the dimension table along with the size of the fact table.
Where do i get this information.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jay.Hi Friend,
For each infocube you will see Rows and ratio for all the dimension tables and Fact table.
Rows indicate the number of rows in that Dimension or Fact table.
Ratio indicates the number of rows in that table divided by number of rows in the fact table.
As a standard the ratio of rows in Dimension table to rows in fact table should not be more than 10%.
If it is more than you will see it in red colour in this report and you can think of redesigning that particular dimension.

Improve Performance of Dimension and Fact table
Hi All,
Can any one explain me the steps how to improve performance of Dimension and Fact table.
Thanks in advace....
reddHi!
There is much to be said about performance in general, but I will try to answer your specific question regarding fact and dimension tables.
First of all try to compress as many requests as possible in the fact table and do that regularily.
Partition your compressed fact table physically based on for example 0CALMONTH. In the infocube maintenance, in the Extras menu, choose partitioning.
Partition your cube logically into several smaller cubes based on for example 0CALYEAR. Combine the cubes with a multiprovider.
Use constants on infocube level (Extras->Structure Specific Infoobject properties) and/or restrictions on specific cubes in your multiprovider queries if needed.
Create aggregates of subsets of your characteristics based on your query design. Use the debug option in RSRT to investigate which objects you need to include.
To investigate the size of the dimension tables, first use the test in transaction RSRV (Database Information about InfoProvider Tables). It will tell you the relative sizes of your dimensions in comparison to your fact table. Then go to transaction DB02 and conduct a detailed analysis on the large dimension tables. You can choose "table columns" in the detailed analysis screen to see the number of distinct values in each column (characteristic). You also need to understand the "business logic" behind these objects. The ones that have low cardinality, that is relate to each other shoule be located together. With this information at hand you can understand which objects contribute the most to the size of the dimension and separate the dimension.
Use line item dimension where applicable, but use the "high cardinality" option with extreme care.
Generate database statistics regularily using process chains or (if you use Oracle) schedule BRCONNECT runs using transaction DB13.
Good luck!
Kind Regards

Dimension table and fact table exists data physically
Hi experts,
can anyone plz tell me weather dimension table and fact table exists data physically or not/Hi..Sudheer
SAPu2019s BW is based on "Enhanced Star schema" or "Info Cubes" database design.This database design has a central database table, known as u2018Fact Tableu2019 which is surrounded by associated dimension tables.
Fact table is surrounded by dimensional tables. Fact table is usually very large, that means it contains
millions to billions of records.
These dimension tables doesn't contain data it contain references to the pointer tables that point to the master data tables which in turn contain Master data objects such as customer, material and destination country stored in BW as Info objects. An InfoObjects can contain single field definitions such as transaction data or complex Customer Master Data that hold attributes, hierarchy and customer texts that are stored in their own tables.
SID is surrogate ID generated by the system. The SID tables are created when we create a master data IO. In SAP BW star schema, the distinction is made between two self contained areas: Infocube & master data tables/SID tables.
The master data doesn't reside in the satr schema but resides in separate tables which are shared across all the star schemas in SAP BW. A numer ID is generated which connects the dimension tables of the infocube to that of the master data tables.
The dimension tables contain the dim ID and SID of a particular IO. Using this SID the attributes and texts of an master data Io is accessed.
The SID table is connected to the associated master data tables via teh char key.
Fact table(Transaction data,DIM ID)<>Dimention Table(SID and Dim ID)<->Masterdata table(SID,IO)

Needed - BW data model and list of Dimensions and Fact table from BW
Dear Friends,
Can somebody please share SAP BW DATA MODEL (LOGICAL) and share the list of DIMENSION and FACT tables exist in BW?
I don't have access to SAP or SAP BW and I am building data-mart and SAP FI/CO will be the source.
Thank you very much in advance.

Nitin
Edited by: Nitin Baradia on Apr 5, 2010 9:08 AMLet me rephrase.
I got an EarlyWatch that said my dimensions on one of cube were too big. I ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS in SE38 in my development box and that confirmed it.
So, I redesigned the cube, reactivated it and reloaded it. I then ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS again. The cube doesn't even show up on it. I suspect I have to trigger something in BW to make it populate for that cube. How do I make that happen manually?
Thanks.

Where to see dim and fact table names for a cube.
Hello Experts,
Where to see dim and fact table names for a cube.Do a wild character search with the cube name (with '*' on both sides of the cube name) in transaction code SE11 or LISTSCHEMA...
For Eg : Cube Name is ZFIN_C111
Goto transaction code SE11
Tables - ZFIN_C111 & then F4 would give you all the associated tables for the InfoCube. -
