Adding Dimension field ($) in measures (fact) table in logical layer

Hi,
I have a field (amount) in the dimension table. I would like to add this field in the fact table at the logical layer. Dimension table and fact table had physical joins. Can I add into fact table and still do aggregation on that field based on the other dimensions linked to fact table. I working on Siebel Analytics version 7.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
RK

How can we know that size of dimension is more than fact table?

how can we know that size of dimension is more than fact table?
this was the question asked for me in interview

Hi Reddy,
This is common way finding the size of cube or dimensions or KF.
Each keyfiure occupies 10 Bytes of memory
Each Char occupies 6 Bytes of memory
So in an Infocube the maximum number of fields are 256 out of which 233 keyfigure, 16 Dimesions and 6 special char.
So The maximum capacity of a cube
= 233(Key figure)10 + 16(Characteristics)6 + 6(Sp.Char)*6
In general InfoCube size should not exceed 100 GB of data
Hope it answer your question.

Few dimension values used in FACT tables.

Hello all,
We are trying to know if somebody faced this issue earlier. We have dimension tables containing 5 million records, but the fact table uses hardly 30k of these dimension values. The fact table contains 350 million records, so is there any way to improve the performance of the query in such a scenario, where hardly 20% of dimension values are actually used by the FACT tables.
Thanks and Regards,
Upendra

I guess you meant should not, right ?

Conformed dimension and query multiple fact tables

Hello,
Please if someone can guide me on this requirement.
Requirement - I have a conformed dimension D1 and two fact tables F1 and F2. Both fact tables have many columns so I cannot merge
the two fact tables into one logical table. Currently both these fact tables have logical tables F1 and F2 respectively.
As per design the conformed dimension is a simple logical table in the rpd and not a dimension.
Can someone guide me how should i proceed so that i'll be able to fetch information from both the fact tables?

Hi,
Currently the dimension table is taken as a simple logical table in rpd as it does not have have any levels or hierarchy.
Its a flat dimension. Can you guide me how can I implement a flat dimension in OBIEE? Because this dimension is taken as simple logical table
I am not able to set appropriate level for fac tables. This dimension does not appear in the list of dimensions.

Same dimension in two different fact tables

Hi,
I have one same dimension in two different fact tables. I would like to know how BI server choose the fact table when I do a request in this dimension.
I know that is always using the same fact table, but I would like to know why choose this table and not the other.
Thanks

Sorry,
But it doesn't seem to me.
I reorded the tables in the BMM layer and it continues to use the same table, regardless this table is in last.
After, I droped that table in the BMM layer and it continued to use the same.
Thanks for your reply

How to determine the logical Keys of logical fact table in BMM layer?

Hello guys
I'd like to know more about how to know what columns of the logical fact table should be used as key in BMM layer. How OBIEE behaving differently when different keys are selected?
In my situation, I have 1 fact table that physically joins to 20 dimensions in physical layer. Therefore, in physical layer, this fact table has about 20 foreign keys but no primary keys..
In the logical layer, this fact table is logically joined to the same group of dimension tables. So in this case, how do I know what columns in logical fact table I should use as keys?
Please advice
Thanks

thanks for the reply...
The interesting thing I notice is that, when I start using fragmentation with the fact tables in its LTS, if not primary key is defined in the logical fact table, then I will be getting errors:
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14023] None of the fact sources for columns are compatible with the detail filter []. (HY000)
When I create the key by choosing random columns from the fact table as the logical key columns, this error goes way and the correct SQL is generated according to the frag..
Because of such behavior, I'd really like to know how logical key really works in BMM layer.

Distinct count of dimension business key in fact table

In my cube I have a fact table which joins to a patient dimension. The patient dimension is a type 2. What I would like to do is get a distinct count of patients who have records in the fact table. The business key in the patient dimension
is the PrimaryMrn. So a SQL query would look like this.
SELECT count(distinct PrimaryMrn)
FROM EncounterFact e
INNER JOIN PatientDim p
on e.PatientKey = p.PatientKey
Is it possible to do this via MDX?
Thanks for the help.

If you have to distinct count an attribute in a SCD 2, you might choose between:
Denormalizing that attribute in the fact table, and the create a classical DISTINCT COUNT measure
Use a many-to-many approach - see the "Distinct Count" scenario in the Many-to-Many White paper here:
http://www.sqlbi.com/articles/many2many (for both Multidimensional and Tabular
If you use Tabular, you might want to read also this pattern:

Adding custom fields to the condition table in CRM

Hi all,
Our requirement is to download the sales conditions type from R3 to the CRM system. In one of the condition table we are trying to add shipping point( VSART ) and Special processing indicator (SDABW).
For that we have added the fields in the structure CND_MAPT_ACS_REM_CUST (Comm. Structure Condition Exchange Customer Exit R/3 Fields) and we have added the fields in the field catelog in transaction ( /SAPCND/CTCT - Maintain Condition Tables). Then we have mapped these fields in the view V_CND_MAP_CNVFLD.
Finally we run the adapter object of that particular table to download the details from R3, but the condition table in CRM is not getting activated, so the adapter object is giving the error.
Please help in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Raghuram.

Hello Raghuram,
I feel that your issue is similar what i have faced, refer to my post:
Link: [Issue in customer specific price;
For solving this you can refer to detailed steps in, Note 514952 - Download of customer-specific tables.
Also additionaly you may need to run the report /sapcnd/rv12n001, as i also had to do so.
If not solved then let me know the relevant message in SLG1
Regards

Added new field in SC Item table but after Check/Enter the value disappears

I have added a field in the SC Item table in view V_SC_DOTC_BASIC. Everything works perfectly well except that when a value is entered into that field and ENTER or CHECK is selected, the value goes away and the field becomes a read-only field with nothing in it.
I know I am missing something, but what?
All help is appreciated and rewarded.

Thank you for your reply Masa.
There is currently an implementation of that BADI that is in use. Brief detail on it. We added a field to the SC Item and included it in the table view for WBS Element. This will allow the users to enter the WBS Element on the item line and not have to go to the Account Assignment section.
The BADI implementation takes whatever is entered in that field and applies it to the account assignment for that item.
The actual value in the field is never changed. It is just used to update the account assignment.
It is not a tabular addition, so the ET_ICF does not come into play.
Is there anything else you can think of that would allow for the field to display its entries once the CHECK/ENTER is activated?

Dimension key in a fact table should be repetitive?

We do have one to one relationship between a FACT table and Dimension table? Is it correct to have this kind of dimensional model.

Two Filter on Two dimensions without constraining the fact table

Hi All,
does anybody know how to avoid the fact constraint when creating a report with two filters on different dimensions?
I have a big fact table with more than 10 Million rows. In the starmodel the is the dimension customer and products. I create a filter on the customer atrribute "Status" and choose the value "Active". Now I add the column "Product Type" from the dimension "Product" to the filter section. When I want to choose a value OBIEE executes a select statement within the fact table. So I have to wait very long to select a value. Is there any way to say OBIEE only to select the dimension table without joining the fact table?
Thank you very much in Advance.
Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Generally queries on the dimensions (across dimesions also) always go through a fact. In case, you would like the queries not be through fact table, but just the dimension tables right away, you can set up a separate subject area for them.
You can create a separate subject area based on a dummy fact table to get these prompt values.
Please refer to http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_parameter_prompt_subject_area for more details on this setup.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Someone can give me a hand?!
I'm desperate!!!
All the best

Can you see data in the physical layer-select column-right click-view data? If not then check db if the column exists.
If you can see the data, then remove unused column alisces if any, remove cache and try restarting the OBIEE services.
If this doesn't help too then try to drop and remap the columns through physical, logical and presentation services.

Adding a cloumn in a fact table which has pctfree 0

Hi,
I have a partitioned fact table with millions of rows and pctfree 0. Now I want to add a new column in this table (without any default value in the new column, so new column is a null). How will it affect (because of pctfree 0) the performance of old data retrieval for reports.

How to create logical fact table in BMM layer ?

Hello,
I have 3 Dimension table - 2 are in one schema and last is another schema. Using this 3 dimension tables, I need to create a logical fact table.
So, my question is whether we can create this fact table by joining these 3 dimension table which are in 2 different schema s ?
Thanks

Fiaz,
you are correct. We can use tables from different subject area to create a report. However, my question was related to rpd design. Sorry, I was not very clear about the queries earlier.
Here is the whole scenario in the physical layer of the rpd
Table name      Databse name      Connection pool name      Schema name
AV          AV_PXRPAM     AVAILABILITY          CRMODDEV
OUTAGE          AV_PXRPAM     AVAILABILITY          CRMODDEV
COMPANY          PXRPAM          PXRPAM_POOL          CRMODDEV
AV and OUTAGE have the joins already. I want to make a join between COMPANY with OUTAGE. And then I want to include a column from each of above tables to the logical fact table in the BMM layer. then I want to do a star schema with the logical fact table to the above 3 tables in the BMM layer.
Thanks

Oracle Administration Tool (RPD) One Dimension linked with many fact tables

How to connect One dimension with many table facts in the Lgical level of RPD without having an error about connection between table facts?

It's not about "linking two catalogs". That's Siebel Marketing stuff. Forget about it. Just create your models and put them in their respective presentation catalogs.
Whatever you fire from answers will hit that specifc presentation catalog and search its way through the metadata to contruct the query.
Hence conforming dimensions as a technical concept are definitely the thing you want...not the rpd object type "conformed dimension links".
