Associating attribute dimensions with the standard dimension in EIS

Hi... we need to bring 2 attribute dimensions in to the Metaoutline of EIS.These 2 attribute dimensions must be associated with lev 0 member of the standard dimension.how to achieve in EIS?
The current status: we did the olap model by mapping all the dimensional tables with the fact table and we are struck up how to bring the 2 attribute dimensions in to the model screen and association with standard dimesnion.
The table structure for the standard dimension is
column1/Gen-1     column2/Gen-2-Alis     consolidation     col3(Attr)     colu 4(Attri)
Reason-1     Reason-1-extension
Reason-2     Reason-2-extension
Reason-3     Reason-3-extension
col3 and col4 are attributes to be associated with column2.
Pls guide us the approach to be done in EIS..

Graham,
This is definitely a supported feature in EIS/9.3.1/ASO. I have many models with this type of structure. How you set it up can vary. Usually my Attribute Hierarchies are not that deep, only two to three levels, maybe four in a rare case, so I don't usually use a parent child table to set up the hierarchy (I'm not saying that it won't work, it might, I haven't tried, but same steps should apply). In a typical model I will have my stock table which has a buyer field. Then in another table I will have my attribute structure which will have columns for buyer, teams, and categories.
In EIS OLAP model, you add your attribute hierarchy table and use a join to link it to the main stock table, joining on the buyer field (you are now going from a "star" schema to a "snowflake". Go into the properties and make sure you define all the columns as "Attributes".
Then in Metadata model, drag your categories attribute onto the outline, then drag the teams and set it as a child of categories and finally drag buyer and set as child of teams. You only set the attribute association for the buyer back to the base dimension.
When you run your dim build it will set up your attribute dimension correctly.
Some things to keep in mind, make sure you have a process that ensures for every stock code you have in the main table, you have a matching one in your attribute dim table.
Sometimes, depending on how much manipulation I need to do, instead of joining the tables in EIS I will go back to relational source and create a view that joins the two tables together, then in my OLAP model, I have one table that has three attribute columns, one column for the buyer and then the other two for team and category, from that point setting up in metadata model is the same.
Good luck, let me know if you run into trouble.

Two Cube dimensions with the same name.

Hi
If I have a cube dimension that has the same name as another cube dimension, will this be an issue when quering the cube through 1) Excel 2) SSRS or Cognos Reports?
For instance: The Database dimension DimOrganization exists in cube A as well as
DimOrganization_Dep. Both dimension has the same attribute names and the same hierarchy names.
Their database names are different. (object_ID and Object_name differs)
In the cube I change the name of DimOrganization_Dep to DimOrganization.
This seem to work when I query the cube in Excel, the mdx looks like this;
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[AntalNotNull] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Organization].[Yes- No].[ Yes- No].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Organization].[Yes- No].[Yes- No].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME
ON ROWS FROM [TEST] CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Anyone knows if this kind of setup will result in problems when quering from SSRS reports or Cognos?
And/or if even though I get it right in the cube (quering from Excel) it might as well give me the wrong result the next time?
Cheers
/Martin

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried and yes I can change then cube dimension namn to that of another cube dimension.
For instance if i have Cube Dimension "DimA" and "DimB" to begin with , then I change the name of the cube dimension "DimB" to "DimA". So now I have two Cube dimensions with the same name.
It works to deploy and process and Excel somehow understands which one is which.
Both is present in the same cube as you can see from the MDX above.
The tricky part is how does the mdx return the correct result when the mdx looks like this (and it dpoes return the correct result).?
Cheers

Execution of a planning function with the used dimension values in a crosstab

Hello,
would like to execute planning functions within Design Studio but I don't really know how I combine this execution with the used dimension values in a crosstab for the .
Here the requirement:
3 Planning functions which should use the same filter (all values of all dimensions in the crosstab) and which should run one after another:
// open data slice
PF_1.execute();
// generate combinitions
PF_2.execute();
// close data slice
PF_3.execute();
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Tobias

Hi Arun,
in general it is not possible to nest planning functions. The inner function would update the data in the plan buffer without the outer function knowing about it. Also the inner function might be on a different aggregation level which would make things very tricky.
Alternatively you can include ABAP logic into a FOX formula:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/94eb78b6394befe10000000a42189d/frameset.htm
Or just create the complete logic in one ABAP planning function type.

Time Dimension, i don´t bind the fact dimension and the time dimension

Well i don´t know why my fact table don´t bind with the time dimension, i create a time table in the data base and change the key to int32 for example year(date)*10000+month(date)*100+day(date), and create to similar in the fact table, and
this attributes binding, when i process the dimension all result without problems, after i process the cube and all result without problems, but when i try to deployment the browser, the measures in all years are equals, please help me

Hi franciscofelipe,
According to your description, you find the measures shows all same value for all years of time dimension. Right?
In this scenario, since your change the key of your time table into an integer, when pulling this dimension out in Browser, the measure will only regards those members as numeric value instead of date so that is will show an aggregate value. Even
all the members are displayed properly in your dimension. So please change the attribute type into appropriate date type.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Problem with the standard RMDATIND

Good afternoon
I say that tango is a problem with the standard load of the material RMDATIND where the burden me all the good materials but in the CAT type of feedstock me what brand as subject to lot but I do not step parameter that the program that will be That someone can help me ..

Thanks for the suggestion to debug the problem - but I have no idea what I'm looking for.
I answer to your question, this is not restricted to just the one user. It has happened to a few, but not all. Not sure what the trigger is.
Now it has happened for a non-portal user, that is to say when I run it test mode from SE80. Debugging has not shed any light on it. All behaves as I would expect. All the alv formatting code is executed, then the component loads and by default the 'standard view' has all column set as hidden.
Looking at this from a different perspective, when, in an alv you create a custom view and 'save as' to store the settings, does anyone know where that is saved too ? Can we delete the settings for the user ? or see the personalization ?

Both of you have registered the same email address for iMessage. If you were using a shared Apple ID and you updated your phones to iOS5, the default will be the Apple ID. Go into settings and change it.

Regarding attachment of own smartforms with the standard report

hi experts,
cud u plz tell me how to attach our own smartforms with the standard report i.e if i want to attach a smart forms with me23n to get the printout......plz help me...

Hi
Goto the NACE tcode and attache the own smartform and attach to the output type
NACE is the Tcode used to link the Application type, Output Types and its processing Routines like ( Driver programs and attached Script forms or Smartforms).
You should know the Application of a document first Like:
for PO it is EF, for sales Doc's it is V1, for Delivery docs it is V2, for billing Doc's it is V3 etc.
so first select the Application type (ex: EF) for PO and press OUtput types
then a list will come in that you should know the related output type for PO.
in this case it is NEU,
select that and click on the processing Routines button on the left side
it will display the Medium, Driver Program and the Script form or smartform related to that document..

Mail app always starts with the standard account.

iPhone 5s
iOS 7.1.2
Mail app always starts with the standard account.
Can´t it start in the mail overview, where all different mailboxes are shown.
iPhone 4 did it..
Opens in standard account:
Should open in MailBox-Overview: (here just one mailbox)
7.1.2

After some searching I have found a solution. I had to delete the contents of the following folder:
~/Library/Mail/myemailaccount/.OfflineCache/
Note: replace "myemailaccount" with the appropriate folder on your computer that represents your e-mail account. Once I deleted the contents of this folder (there were 2 files), and restarted Mail, there were no problems.
Hope this helps a few people in the future!

Problem using 2 Fact tables with the same dimension

Hi,
I have noticed a very strange behaviour in Presentation Services / BI Administrator. I have 2 cubes (created in OWB) which are in the same business model, they are set up with foreign keys etc. and works as they should using them separately. Problem is (sometimes!) when I want to use the common dimension (Project) against both of the fact tables (Sales Order and Purchase Order).
Scenario 1:
If I use Project Id, Purchase Amount, Sales Amount I get either an amount in Sales Amount or in Purchase Amount, BUT if the Project Id starts with a letter (not starting with a number) it will show the correct amount for both Sales- and Purchase Amount.
Scenario 2:
I use Project Description (even followed by Project Id or not), Sales Amount, Purchase Amount I get the correct numbers for all projects. Project Description must come before Project Id or else it will not work.
I only noticed this problem when using both of the Fact tables since I want to compare Sales Amount and Purchase Amount in each Project. The Dimension for Project consist of Project, Sub Project and Activity and works fine. If I only use Sales Amount or Purchase Amount with Project Id I don't get this error. Only when both numbers are used.
I would be very happy if anyone have a good solution/explanation to this problem! Seems like could be something in the BI Server memory that goes wrong somewhere.

The strange thing is that the results from the queries are correct running them in SQL Developer. This is one that works:
SELECT Project.Project saw_0, "- SalesOrderFact"."Sales Amount" saw_1, "- PurchaseOrderFact"."Purchase Amount" saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY ) FROM SalesOrder ORDER BY saw_0
SALES ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION as c1,
sum(T161.SALES_AMOUNT_LOCAL) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_SALES_ORDER T161
where ( T161.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
order by c1
PURCHASE_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION as c1,
sum(T3020.TOTAL_BUY_AMOUNT) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_PURCH_ORDER T3020
where ( T3020.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
order by c1
And this will give the wrong result in Answers (correct in SQL..):
SELECT Project."Project Id" saw_0, "- SalesOrderFact"."Sales Amount" saw_1, "- PurchaseOrderFact"."Purchase Amount" saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY ) FROM SalesOrder ORDER BY saw_0
SALES_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID as c1,
sum(T161.SALES_AMOUNT_LOCAL) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_SALES_ORDER T161
where ( T161.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID
order by c1
PURCHASE_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID as c1,
sum(T3020.TOTAL_BUY_AMOUNT) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_PURCH_ORDER T3020
where ( T3020.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID
order by c1
As you can see the SQL look very familiar, and I cannot see anything in SQL that should be the cause of this error. I think the error must be in the BI Memory or something.

Runtime prompts with the same dimension

Hello,
I'm setting up a business rule to contain two variables referring to members in the same dimension (for example, Account_VAR and Account_Basis_VAR both using Member of the Account dimension). I would like to have Account_VAR default as filled based on the selected member on the form (and hidden) and then have Account_Basis_VAR default to the same account as Account_VAR, but selectable based on which accounts the user has Read access to.
The calculation is working properly and the values are being distributed to the Account selected (Account_VAR) based on the current allocation to level 0 in the base account(Account_Basis_VAR), but I would like to hide Account_VAR while still prompting for Account_Basis_VAR. I've tried a few iterations of settings but both account prompts always appear in the runtime prompt window.
Is there a workaround for this?

How to test with the standard Flash player, rather than debug player

Folks,
I am interested in running my flexunit 4 tests against the standard flash player, rather than the debug player that comes with the SDK. Is this possible?
BTW, I am working on Windows for now.
I installed both the flash ActiveX control for IE, and the standard flash plugin for Firefox. I then associated the SWF file extension with Firefox using the "Open With" dialog. I had to choose a single program, and the browser appeared to be my only choice, as I could not find any sort of "FlashPlayer10.exe" to associate with. I ran my ant script that calls <flexunit>, and it kind of works. It launches Firefox, runs the tests, and the results get piped back, but Firefox is not shut down. Yep, Firefox stays open after the tests complete. I seem to recall that the debug flash player would close itself after being opened by <flexunit>. I tried using IE, and the same result occurs: the browser is not shutdown after the tests complete. This behavior makes for an unacceptable test setup, as eventually the system memory on the machine will be exhausted as more and more browsers are opened and not closed.
Questions/options:
1) Is there a standard flash player "executable" somewhere on my system that I can associate the SWF files with (that would hopefully shut itself down)?
2) Second choice, is there a way to get the browser to close after <flexunit> completes?
3) or am I stuck using the debug player? I am concerned that testing management at my company might not like the fact that we are testing against a debug player, rather than the standard one that users will likely be using. If flexunit 4 CI only supports the debug player, is there something I can say to appease management?
Thanks for any help...
Trevor

@trevorbutler - Here are my 2 cents, but the group may have a different perspectives for your questions.
Currently, we suggest the use of the CIListener class as a FU4 listener for use when building your test SWF to run via the FU4 Ant task. This class (http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexunit/branches/4.x/FlexUnit4CIListener/src/o rg/flexunit/listeners/CIListener.as) uses the fscommand() function to send a message to its host environment to exit (i.e. - fscommand("quit")). This command is only recognized by the Flash projector and stand-alone players, which are thin wrappers around the Flash Player so that it may be executed as its own process in the OS. Based on the setup you are describing, the behavior you're seeing should be expected since the browser is the host environment for the Flash Player. When the browser recieves the resulting message of the fscommand("quit") call nothing will happen since the browser doesn't support this command. If you use the Flash projector or stand-alone players however, they will exit when recieving the results of this command. The projector/stand-alone players come in two flavors, release and debug. Release will act very closely to the typical plugin installed in the web browser (e.g. - swallows errors, no debug support, etc) whereas debug will allow you to write log files to the system, show error messages, etc. Currently the debug stand-alones are available on Windows, Mac, Linux and the release stand-alone is only available on Linux.
To address your questions:
1. If you've installed the Flash Player browser plugin, there is no way that I know of to launch the player as its own process. I've only had success using the projector/stand-alone player (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html).
2. The Flash Player does have the ability to send javascript to the browser to ask it to close the current window, but most modern browser will prompt the user to confirm they'd like to close the window if its the only open window. Additionally, taking this approach on Mac, the browser process would remain active until an explicit call is made to the host OS to shut down the browser process. The Ant task could be enhanced to use the browser to launch the Flash Player, but that is not currently on our checklist of features to support. If it's something you'd be interested in contributing, let me know and I can work with you on this.
3. For the time being the FlexUnit4 Ant task only supports the stand-alone Flash Player (and adl soon), which for Windows only comes in the debug flavor. The only thing I've run into with the stand-alone player is that ExternalInterface reports that its enabled, but since the host environment is not the browser, javascript calls made via this class will fail, consequently causing tests to fail. I haven't tried anything with shared objects or flashvars but my assumption is that they should work correctly, but anything that depends on the browser has the potential not to.
As far as your testing management goes, I would discuss with them the problem context FlexUnit4 hopes to solve. The framework is intended to produce unit and integration tests. Functional testing is not withing the scope of the library. Although, it's technically feasible to write integration tests which will exercise components similarly to a functional test, tools such as FlexMonkey, Selenium Flex, QTP, etc are much better geared towards this problem domain. Test recording and playback, using these tools, is typically done using the FP browser plugin and is much easier to use by most QA and testing staff. At the end of the day, as we're testing our code using FlexUnit at a smaller granularity than that of which the user interacts with in our application. To reliably test the applicaiton as the user would interact with it requires additional tooling and a different type of testing.
Like I said, just my take, maybe some of the other guys can help as well.

Customized Pf Status along with the standard Pf status

Hi all
I have created an ALV report and has its default pf status which includes all function like sum ,sort, export, variants save etc.
I have a requirement to have an extra push button along with this PF status.
