Importance of Global Consistency check

Hello,
I have always checked my rpd for global consistency without knowing the actual meaning behind it. But last night I created a logical column with the following expression:
max(VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION......))
basically i created an aggregation over a logical column that obtains its value from session variable. I know that if we need to use a column as an aggregation column we should use the aggregation tab in the column properties. When we choose an aggregation it disables the editable column formula field.
I put the above formula which violates the rule. The result is perfect so long as I don't check for global consistency. It throws an error that looks something like this:
[38083] The Attribute 'Acceptance Rate Target' defines a measure using an obsolete method.
The question is.. what is the significance of global consistency check.. and what is the consistency criteria.. and is it ok to save the rpd without checking for global consistency (yes this does not cause the BI server to crash when trying to start)
Thanks

First, forget about the variable approach.
Now you need to do the following steps:
1) Import the table to the physical layer
2) Create logical table in existing Business Model in BMM layer with the imported table as logical table source
3) Create another logical table in existing Business Model in BMM layer with the imported table as logical table source
4) Create complex join between both table, now you will get one logical dimension table and one logical fact table
5) In the logical fact table you need to select the column ("Target") and add an aggregation rule, like MAX or MIN
6) Assuming you have a hierarchy for every dimension in your BMM layer, you need to set the logical levels of the new measure to the Grand Total Level of each dimension hierarchy.
By doing this, you get a "level based measure", for more info: read this:
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/oracle-bi-ee-101332-level-based-measures-lbms/
By setting all logical levels to the grand total level, the measure will be "immune" for all dimensions used in your report.
So when you have a report like
Month__Actual___Target
The BI Server will create two queries:
select month, sum(sales) from calendar, sales_table where calendar.id = sales_table.calendar_id
and
select max(value) from target_table
The BI Server will then stitch both results together.

Global Consistency Check Errors after RPD Merge: 38120 and 38015

Dears
Can anyone of you point me to a documentation explains Global Consistency Check error numbers in details ?
After merging 2 RPDs, it gives me the following errors: 38120 and 38015
Thanks

38120: Dimension xyz is not associated with any table(s)
Comments: I checked this Dim table and did find tables associated with it. Don't know how else to check ?
38015: Physical tables "<ABC>"."Fact - abc" and "<ABC>"."Dim - lmn" have multiple joins. Delete new foreign key object if it is a duplicate of existing foreign key.
Comments: I did check the joins between this Fact and Dim table and found only 1 join.

Obiee 11g Global Consistency Check Error

Hello all,
I need guidance regarding an error which pops up after the consistency check. However Admin tool lets the rpd to be saved and uploaded to the server, inspite of this error.
The error is as follows:
"the initialization string in the repository initialization block "NAME" contains the use of USER: or Password:"
Any input is appriciated.
Thank you.

Here, you shud use something like this:
Say ur user column us LOGIN in W_DAY_D table.
Then IB sql should be: SELECT DISTINCT LOGIN FROM W_DAY_D WHERE LOGIN = ':USER'
OR
SELECT DISTINCT LOGIN FROM W_DAY_D WHERE LOGIN = 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)'
and also, for ur default initialized may be you can use ur name say 'xxx'
Hope this helps..

"Missing most detailed table for dimension tables" eror when I run the Global Consistency check

ERRORS:

I am also attaching my Business Model layer for easy understanding. I have a fact table and several Dimension table. I got this error only after creating the following hierarchies:
Execution Plan -> Tasks -> Details
Start Date Time Hierarchy
End Date Time Hierarchy
Is there a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!

Yes ! My Task Hierarchy has 3 dimension tables that form a hierarchy :Execution Plan -> Tasks -> Detail
All the 3 levels in the hierarchy are 3 different dimension tables.

I get this error : "content filter of a source for logical table" while I run the Global consistency check.

Global consistency warning.

I created a SA with four tables involved.Everything looked fine and I ran the reports for that rpd. Now I added one more table in the physical layer to create another SA involving just two tables. First it was a star schema in physical layer but after I involved this table it became a snow flake schema. But in BMM since the second SA involved only two tables I did not encounter this snow flake in BMM. First SA has 4 tables which is a star schem and second SA involved only two tables. Now after I am dome with everything and pulled the new SA to presenation layer and did a global consistency check I am getting a warning which says "39011 key “Subject Area2”.table.table_key#2 in logical table “Subject Area2.”table” is a superset or subset of another key in this table. Any redundant table key should be removed. What do i do to overcome this.

hi,
Double click on the table source,Keys tab delete the extra key '#' then check the consistency.

Not Displaying Options tab while Checking Global Consistancy in OBIEE 11G

Hi,
We recently upgraded from 10G to 11 G . Here When I checked Global Consistency I got some Errors but they are negligible . I need to disable those errors but am not finding that option .
Please give me the soln.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
11g does not allow beginning or trailing spaces in logical names within the RPD. This causes errors in this release instead of warnings as in OBIEE 10g.I would suggest you to close the window.
For more information go through this blog http://www.skurabigroup.com/blog/?p=759
Hope it helps you,if answered award points.

Error when Check global consistency: Physical tables have multiple Joins

Hi
I have a table that have multiple joins with a dimension in the physical layer, this is a fact table and the dimension is a geograhic dimension, and in the fact table I have three codes, customer geography, account geography and office geography. This is a simple model and is correct for my DWH. However when I want to check global consistency the consistency check manager display the next error (three times):
ERRORS:
GLOBAL:
[38015] Physical tables "ODS".."ODS"."FT_INTERFAZ_CICLO_FACTURACION" and "ODS".."ODS"."DIM_GEOGRAFIA" have multiple joins. Delete new foreign key object if it is a duplicate of existing foreign key.

How can I do to solve this error?
Thanks

I have one dim table name team.
In the dim table there are two primary keys like Team key and Team Type key.
In the Fact table there are 4 foriegnkey like
a) Sales team key
b) Sales team type key
c) Trader team key
d) Trader team type key
For this purpose , i am going to create the alias table in the physical layer. Can any body explain to me the whole process

Check Global Consistency Warning

Hi,
Greetings.
I have exported an EUL from the discoverer and got the RPD. Using that RPD I have created a Repository and it is fine till here.
But, when I try to check the global consistency after defining the Primary Keys and Foriegn Keys of the tables, it is showing a Warning as follows
"WARNINGS:GLOBAL: [39028] The features in Database 'AG_TEST' do not match the defaults. This can cause query problems."
So, Please someone help me resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bhaskar.

Its not advisable to change DB features. Check whether the DB you are using is 10g or 11g.
if its 10g you should get this warning.
Most of the time you should not have a problem.
To ensure this you can deploy and do a through testing checking whether the results are obtained as expected. Also check the back end sql issued by OBI server.
wrongly changing the DB features will impact the server behavior and can bring erratic queries. ( yet you might not see issues in consistency check)
If you know what to change in DB features and know the impact of it then its fine. If not, better use the RPD as is as what you received.
Besides this is just a warning.

OBIEE Consistency Check is taking too much time

Hi,
When I run consistency check globally, it takes too much time. Itt is waiting after completing about %80 of it. I can't click on it, the application is freezing. How can I recover it? What can be the cause of this problem?
Thank you for your attention,
Regards

Hello Mohan,
The DBTABLOG table does get large, the best is to switch off logging. If that's not possible, increase the frequency of your delete job, also explore one more alternative have a look at the archival object: BC_DBLOGS, you could archive old records (in accordance with your customer's data retention policies) to reduce the size of the table.
Also, have a look at the following notes, they will advise you on how to improve the performance of your delete job:
Note 531923 - Audit Trail: Indexes on table DBTABLOG
Note 579980 - Table logs: Performance during access to DBTABLOG

Why is consistency check warning [39054] raised?

Hi,
Today I migrated a 10g repository to 11g. After the upgrade I was checking the global consistency and the following warning is occuring several times
WARNINGS:
BUSINESS MODEL Declaraties:
[39054] Fact table "[fact table 1]" is not joined to logical dimension table "[dimension 1]". This will cause problems when extracting project(s).
The warning is correct, fact table 1 is not joined to dimension 1. But this is because there is no relationship between those two tables. Dimension 1 is not used by fact table 1. However, dimension table 1 is used by another fact in the same business area.
Why am I getting this warning, it seems to me that not every dimension should be joined with all fact tables in a business area. What is intended with 'This will cause problems when extracting project(s)'?
Regards,
Albert

Hi Albert,
I will suggest you to resolve all the warning its a best practice as u said having 500+ warnings is not good
Refer : Source does not join to any fact source

LMS3.1 psu problem - Consistency check failed for base package ...AG

Hello,
We've got a package updater problem with a LMS3.1 installation.
1. After trying to update RME Device packages from GUI we got a message that LibCommon-v2.3.2 is needed
2. We tried to update LibCommon from CLI using psucli.bat, see below
3. We found a discussion in this forum, simular to this problem with the hint to reinstall the RME, what we did but with no improvement
4. We deinstalled, reboot, did a new installation of LMS3.1. But the problem still exists, with same message. We need the PSU, because most of our devices will be managed after device package update only.
Updating of each package brings warnings with pseudo package names, as ImageAG, MemoryAG and not with hints to real missing packages:
C:\lms\bin>psucli -p rme -install -src C:\install\lm31-updates\ LibCommon
WARNING: LibCommon(2.3.2):Consistency check failed for base package ImageAG
see also the psu.log containing all tryes of package updates
The problem goes a little bit in this direction, but with a new reinstallation as well:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/669047#669047
What can we do?
thx for hints, Steffen

When you install LMS on Windows, there are some recommended steps to take to ensure the installation is a problem free as possible:
Set the per-user and global TEMP and TMP environment variables to short values (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\TEMP)
Disable all anti-virus software
Disable Windows Data Execution Protection (DEP)
Login to the server as a local Adminitrator
Install from original, locally attached media
NEVER abort the installation after the installer says not to
Based on the symptoms described here, I'm guessing at least the first item was not done. TAC has a procedure to recover a bad RME package repository, but if the base installation is problematic, doing so would be moot. If you suspect the installation isn't 100% (beyond the package repository), uninstall, then follow the above steps to reinstall.
If you think the problem is just with the RME package repository, contact TAC, and they can provide you a good, up-to-date repository to jump start things for you.

Hi Javier,
From your error description, I recommend you do the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Please run CHKDSK and restart server.
2. Run a Database level Mailbox repair request.
What's more, here are some useful threads for your reference.

N5k, vPC consistency check

hi all,
I got a pair of 5548, vPC works great. However the vPC consistency check show the two switch configs are different! I don't know why vPC still works fine. See the below output of the show vpc consistency-parameters global command. it's weird that from output of each switch, the local value is different from peer value, but if you just see the local value from both switch, they are the same. what's going on here?
thanks

This is related to the following bug
CSCtl06882 - 'show vpc consistency-parameters global' showing incorrect value for QoS
This defect is currently Assigned State but is Cosmetic in Nature, not service impacting. Hence you will have no problem with vpc.
