Analytic Workspace Manager possible bug: Maintain Cube hangs

Hi All,
I am a newbe, I have been following the tutorial "Building OLAP 11g Cubes". http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/olap_cube/buildicubes.htm
After the step "Maintain Cube SALES_CUBE", I got the information box "Loading facts for cube SALES_CUBE"...on the screen for the last 4 hours.
Is this normal? Should I kill the process and start again?
I am running Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 on a Virtual Machine with Windows Server 2008 Standard SP1 with 1GB RAM.
The Analytic Workspace Manager is 11.2.0.1.0 running on a Windows XP SP3.
Any help is much appreciated

I'm getting a similar problem, I cannot maintain cubes that worked fine yesterday:
An error has occurred on the server
Error class: Express Failure
Server error descriptions:
INI: error creating a definition manager, Generic at TxsOqConnection::generic<BuildProcess>
INI: XOQ-01706: An unexpected condition occurred during the build: "TxsOqLoadCommandProcessor::generatePartitionListSource-unsupported join condition-table"., Generic at xsoqBuild

at oracle.olap.awm.wizard.awbuild.UBuildWizardHelper$1.construct(Unknown Source)
at oracle.olap.awm.ui.SwingWorker$2.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
It all started after I tried to add a calculated measure to an existing cube (something I have done before in 11g...a feature I love).
This is too bad, so far I've been loving 11g Olap as compared to 10g Olap. But now 11g is starting to crop up these bullshit bugs as well. I guess OLAP is still too crappy to rely on for production....good thing I won't recommend a rollout of this product to my clients. It's a great tool for having fun with development, but using Oracle Olap + AWM in a real company is career suicide.

Creating a DWMQY DIMENSION using Analytic Workspace Manager

Hi everyone,
I need some help creating a "time aware" (DAY, WEEK, MONTH, QUARTER, and YEAR) dimension using Analytic Workspace Manager.
Let me give you some background. I'm coming from a traditional "Oracle Express" OLAP background where all our data is stored in cubes and these are defined, populated and operated on using OLAP DML, there is no SQL or traditional relational tables involved.
I now want to pull data from relational tables into some OLAP cubes and am using Analytic Workspace Manager to do this (maybe this is not the best way?)
Let me explain what I'm trying to achieve. In OLAP worksheet I can type the following DML commands:
DEFINE MY_DAY DIMENSION DAY
MAINTAIN MY_DAY ADD TODAY '01JAN2011'
What this will do is create a "day dimension" and will populate it with values for each and every day between 1st Jan 2011 and today. It will be fully "time aware" and thus you can use date functions such as DAYOF to limit the MY_DAY dimension to all the Fridays etc. Similarly if I define a "month dimension" there will be an automatic implicit relationship between these two dimensions, this relationship and time aware cleverness is built into Oracle.
However, a dimension defined using DML commands (and indeed all objects created using DML language) is not visible in Analytic Workspace Manager (as there is no metadata for them?) and for the life of me I cannot work out how to create such a dimension using AWM. If I create a "Time Dimension" then, as far as I can tell, this is not a proper time dimension but merely a text dimension and I, presume, I have to teach it time awareness.
Can anyone help me? I have no issues creating, and populating cubes from relational tables using Analytic Workspace Manager, the only issue I have is creating a "proper" time aware dimension.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Ian.

When a dimension is of type "TIME" in AWM, then for each member of that dimension, you need END_DATE and TIMESPAN attributes in addition to the key column and description column.
So in your case, if there are 5 levels: DAY->WEEK->MONTH->QTR->YEAR
then you will need atleast 15 columns in your source sql table/view
or 20 columns if you have separate column for description.
For example the columns in your source table/view could be:
DAY_ID,
DAY_DESC,
DAY_END_DATE, (which will be that day's date)
DAY_TIMESPAN, (which will be 1)
WEEK_ID,
WEEK_DESC,
WEEK_END_DATE,
WEEK_TIMESPAN,
MONTH_ID,
MONTH_DESC,
MONTH_END_DATE,
MONTH_TIMESPAN,
QTR_ID,
QTR_DESC,
QTR_END_DATE,
QTR_TIMESPAN,
YEAR_ID,
YEAR_DESC,
YEAR_END_DATE,
YEAR_TIMESPAN
Just "map" this table/view to the 5-level time dimension in AWM.
NOTE that behind-the-scenes lot of useful structures are automatically defined to support time-series measures,
and there are lot of calculation templates available also.
Since you came from Express background, I have to say that try to use new OLAP Expression Syntax when creating calculated measures instead of OLAP DML.
Its very rare these days that we need OLAP DML.

How to user Analytic workspace manager in Oracel 9

Hi All,
I am new to OLAP, I want to know how to configure/use Analytic workspace manager in my database for creating OLAP. I am using oracle 9.2.0.1.0.
Regards
Ananth

The first version of Analytic Workspace Manager came with Oracle 10.2, it does not support Oracle 9.2. If you are new to Oracle OLAP, you really want to be using Oracle 11.1 or 11.2 (11.2 if possible). If your organization uses 9.2 for your apps, consider using an 11.2 instance of OLAP and accessing the 9.2 version as the data source to your cubes. The advantages to 11.x are too numerous to cover here. I can send you some papers that describe 10.2 and 11.x if you send me ([email protected]) your email adress.

Analytic Workspace Manager Release date

Does anyone know that release date for the analytic workspace manager?

I'm reluctant to start having a go at Oracle, because there's probably good technical reasons why AWM didn't come out last year, most probably due to 9i OLAP API changes invalidating much of the work the product team had done with the prototype of AWM. However, it's been about 18 months now, by my reckoning, since AWM was first talked about and it's still not generally available.
Of course, the features announced for the first version of AWM are only part of what we need 'out in the field' when working with 9i OLAP. We also need graphical tools to load analytic workspaces directly, rather than having to write OLAP DML dataloaders or go through an intermediate step of loading an Oracle star-schema, and in addition, migration tools for Express databases to help with the creation of OLAP Catalog metadata.
It's worth contrasting this with the release of OLAP Services when SQL Server 7.0 was released. There, Microsoft provided tools from the outset to create and manage OLAP cubes, which meant that users could get up and running immediately, not have to wait the best part of two years to get the most basic of tools to enable them to create OLAP databases.
As there's no doubt been quite a few technical challenges in delivering the 9i OLAP tools over the last couple of years, what would probably help the situation would be a more proactive communication strategy from the Oracle product team, in the way that the OWB team regularly post on their OTN forum and keep us all informed on how the product is progressing. Part of the frustration with 9i OLAP is the lack of any communication or updates on the product, leaving us guessing as to exactly when elements such as the AWM will actually come out. In addition, from what I can glean about OLAP support in 10g, there's some excellent news coming out, such as Multiwriter support, an XML interface for OLAP, Parallel support for aggregation and so on, which would be great news to hear and might make people 'hang on' rather than give up on the product.
Hopefully, as the last announcement from Oracle suggested, the AWM will be made available this month, and we can get on then with helping our customers and clients start taking advantage of the 9i OLAP platform.

Unable to create dimension in Analytic Workspace manager

Hi all,
I am trying to create dimension using Analytic Workspace Manager(AWM) and it throws the following error.
*"The transaction is not committable: "java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Missing XML attribute: Attribute for tag: <Metadata><StandardDimension><Organization><AWPrimaryDimensionOrganization><AttributeOrganization>"*
Kindly share your comments.
I am using Oracle 11g r1 client to connect with oracle 11g R2 database.
Please let me know the steps to create a OLAP cube using AWM
Regards
Mukhil

It sounds like a mismatch between an old version of AWM and a new version of the server. Please try a more recent version of AWM.

Analytic Workspace Manager

Hi
I am completely new to Oracle OLAP.
I have installed Oracle 10g(10.1.0.2) with OLAP option enabled.
I would like to create some cubes using Analytic Workspace manager. When I look into Oracle HomeIntegrated Management Tools, I wouldn’t find Analytic Workspace manager.
Do I need to install Analytic Workspace manager separately? If it comes along with the oracle suite, what did I want to do to have analytic workspace manager in my machine?
Please help me.

Hi
Thanks for the info.
I like to get more information regarding the same in version 10.1.0.2

Analytic Workspace Manager Tutorial

Greetings
I haven't had any luck getting anyone to address this (posted in oracle by example and in Business Intelligence).... the "new" tutorial "Populating Your OLAP Analytic Workspace Using Analytic Workspace Manager" <http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb/bidw/awm/awm.htm> has a bug on the javascript that loads all images (i.e., "eyeglass"). All other Oracle By Example tutorials pass in a "static" list of images to be loaded into the "MM__swapImage()" function (ref http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb/bidw/odm/odm.htm) . This "new" tutorial however uses a function called "preLoadImages() in which an array is attempted to be built from the contents of "document.images" this property appears to be empty (perhaps some path issue getting all the images?) .... regardless there is nothing in this property and so subsequently nothing to "preload"... the end result of activating the "onmouseover" event is an "error on page" due to the "newImg.src" array being empty. Can anyone address this?
After no action on my previous efforts I attempted to open a service request on Metalink and of course they sent me back to the forums here.... (suggesting "downloads" and "feedback" forums)

Yes.... that "eyeglass" javascript is the issue....(you will have to do a "view source" on the page to see the javascript functions I'm talking about)....
The "onmouseover" for this eyeglass icon works fine on all the other tutorials, but on this one I get no images, (did you try to download all the images via that javascript?) I get an "error on page" in which the javascript indicates that newImg.src is null..... "newImg.src" is the array where all of the images should be read into....via the function "preLoadImages()", combined with showAllImages(), and hideAllImages(), I'm suspecting that there is an issue with the relative directory on the website or some other path issue realated to the javascript "document" object....
BTW the other tutorials (e.g., http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb/bidw/odm/odm.htm) seem to use a different method.... instead of the "preLoadImages()" function they all seem to staticly pass all images into MM__swapImage() for this same "onmouseover" event

Where to find Analytic Workspace Manager for Oracle9i?

Hi,
I am looking for Analytic Workspace Manager for Oracle 9i. Could someone point me to the place it can be downloaded? On Oracle OTN there are only versions 10g and 11g. I couldn't find it on Metalink either.
Why I need so old version? We are about to upgrade our existing installation from 9i and I need it to see what's inside in our Oracle 9i database (9.2.0.6) before going into 10g.
Or maybe it is possible to use AWM 10g against database 9i? This would solve my problems.
Is it possible to upgrade analytic workspaces from oracle 9i into 10g with analytic workspace manager 10g?
Best wishes
Tomasz Michniewski

Hello Laura,
Well, I was looking for this 9i version of AWM, and I was even thinking that AWM does not exist for 9i. Especially that in 9i documentation AWM is not mentioned.
But in the meantime I have found some install from some our backup cd-rom. It says:
# Analytic Workspace Manager : 9.2.0.4.1
# DATE: September 26, 2003
# Platform Patch for : platform independent
# Product Version # : 9.2.0.4.1
# Product : Analytic Workspace Manager
# Platforms
# Analytic Workspace Manager uses a platform independent install and
# has been approved on the following platforms:
# - Windows NT 4.0, 2000 & XP
# - Solaris 32 & 64-bit
# - Linux 32-bit
# - AIX 64-bit
# - HP-UX 64-bit
# - Tru64
# Requirements
# The Analytic Workspace Manager client requires the following Oracle9i
# Database configuration:
# - Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 Enterprise Edition Database
# - RDBMS 9.2.0.4.0 patch set (PS# 3095277)
# - OLAP 9.2.0.4.1 patch (PS# 3084634)
So is it the AWM for 9i?
Best wishes,

AWM does need to be installed separately. Download it from OTN and install (really just unzip!). http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/devlic.html?=http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/olap/AWM102030_Win.zip

Oracle Analytic Workspace Manager

Hi Experts,
I am trying to find docs/procedures for installing Analytic Workspace Manager. We have Oracle 10 Enterprise version on IBM AIX p6.
Question really is what do we need to do install Analytic Workspace Manager to create cubes.
I am not a sys DBA of oracle, can I do something without asking the DBA's help ?
Before you yell at me :P, please know that I am very new to Oracle (aprt from developing SQL, PL/SQL scripts) /
Youe help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
P

AWM is a client tool and you can install on your desktop without any DBA help. URL below is a good starting point to download and use the tool.

ETL with OWB and Workspace Manager with Analytic Workspace Manager?

I already created my dimensions and cubes with "warehouse builder", as a tables, so can I map them in the dimensions and cubes defined with "analytic workspace manager?
please somone help, becasue I can't found this information on a manual "OLAP application's developers guide".
also, whichis the manual that I have to follow to create things in AWM? i think is this that I use "OLAP application's developers guide"
Someone can tell me something?
Thanks.

Hi,
I.m using OWB 10.1.0.4.0 and choosing "Project" then "Metadata Export" and finally "Bridge" I can lanch a wizard that allow me to choose between 3 kind of export.
If you choose OLAP the wizard will ask you which collection of metadata to export and other options, after succesfully running this wizard (which is not so easy) you can open the AWM and see the export of your dimesion and cube iside an AW.
I'm finding lots of problems using this feature due to the limited options I can set to the cube and the dimension (type of aggregations, calculated measures, limit on the number of measures in the cube, etc.).
Waiting for the new OWB Paris if you can post your experience it will be very appreciated.
Good luck,
Franco

Analytic Workspace Manager vs Warehouse Builder

When is it best to use Analytic Workspace Manager over Warehouse Builder to create the OLAP? Please advise.

We are using OWB to create OLAP because you have your metadata properly defined in the design repository of OWB from where you can deploy to different databases and schemas. We are also using OWB to create tables and other relational objects instead of using SQL Developer or Toad to do so.
Nevertheless there are some restrictions when using OWB: You cannot create programs with OWB (e.g. for limiting access to certain objects), not all aggregation operators are supported (e.g. the weighted aggregation operators like WSUM are not supported by OWB), you cannot create models, ...
If you come to these restrictions you could write "after-deployment scripts", i.e. you deploy your dimensions and cubes from OWB and let the scripts do what you could not model with OWB.
Hope this helps!
