BI4.1 geographical dimension with explorer

Hi,
i wanted to leverage the geographic features of explorer and its bundled navteq database.
I built an information space containing state and city objects on the classic efashion .unv universe and tried to define state and city as geographic dimension.
My problem is explorer wants me to resolve every occurrences of los angeles city returned by my query.
I thought i would have to deal with distinct values but it seem to work diffently.
Can someone confirm this matter of fact?
thanks
Xavier

Hi,
I've had little experience with JTree but when I have used it I had to detect null instances. From running your code it appears that the tpath value is null when you click on the tree itself, not when you are clicking an object in the tree. At the start of your getFolders() method why don't you just add the following:-if(tpath == null) return;Also you assign tpath to a new Object. There is no need as far as I can see to warrant doing this. You have TreePath treepath = tpath; when tpath is fully accessible to all statements in your getFolders() method.
Anyway it may not be the most elegant solution but it will stop those pesky NPEs from showing up.
Regards,
Chris

SSM7.5 - Dimension with Multiple Hierarchies

Hi all,
I'm facing here one problem in the SSM front-end when I'm trying to use one the possibilities that PAS database offers, in this case the use of a dimension with multiple hierarchies.
As you can see in this image, the dimension is created in PAS and works without problems in the dataview.
Hierarchy one:

Hierarchy two:
[http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/2586/pas2.jpg]
In the SSM front-end, when I try to use that dimension, by default appears the first hierarchy:
[http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/4043/hier3.jpg]
In the dimensional selector the dimension appears fine for the first hierarchy:
[http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/3103/hier1.jpg]
But when I select the second hierarchy...
[http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1722/hier2.jpg]
The Internet Explorer crashes and close all the open windows. This happens in the scorecard and also in the reports.
Is not possible to use dimensions with multiple hierarchies in SSM? Did anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance
Pedro

Hi Shashi,
first of all, thanks for your answer.
But I don't understand when you say that "we cannot have two hierarchies on the same dimensions"?!?!?
I already have some years of experience with PAS database and it's not the first time I create a dimension with more than one hierarchy. I use also that in a productive system (before this SSM front-end) without problems. And in this latest version of PAS (version 7.5.6) it's still possible to use that feature. As you can see in my initial post, I put two screen shots of the dimension with two hierarchies in PAS dataview, and works fine, without problems in the drill-down/up.
From PAS online help:
HIERARCHY is a Dimension command that defines the members and levels that comprise a particular hierarchy level within a dimension. It also allows multiple consolidation structures that stem from a central root of inputs. Use hierarchies when the input members are consolidated into more than one output member. When a dimension has hierarchies, members can have more than one path for rolling up into output levels. If a dimension has only one hierarchy, no HIERARCHY statement is necessary.
Based on this, I create my example of a dimension (named MULTI) with two hierarchies (REGION and TYPE). Maybe the name I use for the second hierarchy create some confusion to you, because of the TYPE dimension that can exist in SSM. I just hope the problem I'm having in the SSM front-end is not related with the name I used for the second hierarchy!!!!
I will rename that and test again.
Regards
Pedro

Hi Gerard, have you switched from using the built-in PDF viewer to the Adobe Acrobat viewer? This article has the steps for that if you haven't tried it, and also shows where you can confirm which ones is being used: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
When saving a PDF using the ''built-in viewer'', use the Download button on the toolbar above the PDF (looks like a downward pointing arrow). This may be more reliable than the Save Page As command.
When saving a PDF using the ''Adobe Acrobat viewer'', as you move the mouse pointer down the document, a floating toolbar should appear with a disk icon. (Or if you press the Esc key, a toolbar should appear above the document.) Use the disk icon on the Adobe Acrobat toolbar to save the document.

When I try to open the "markets" page on the Firefox hompage, it displays for 3 or 4 seconds and then drops off; I get a white screen; this does not happen with Explorer.

When I open "markets" from the homepage, it comes up but drops off after a few seconds and
I get a white page. This does not happen with Explorer. A similar but much more extensive
problem happened a month or so ago (I couldn't open attachments). I called Microsoft and the
fellow messed about with my computer for an hour or so, but ended up saying he couldn't help
me. However, when he went away, the problems went away.

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

"Open with Explorer" no longer works with IE 10 & 11 without 32-bit -- What alternative do we have?

I know that if we open SPS 2010 in IE 10 & IE 11 in 64-bit O/S, "Open with Explorer" no longer works because this function requires 32-bit version of IE.
I give up to find a way to open IE 10 in 32-bit -- I had tried several so-called solutions but none works for me. So, I'm looking for an alternative: is there an URL that I can put in
Windows Explorer's address bar to open the SharePoint page directly?
I had tried http://mysps/somefolder/etc/ failed!
I had tried \\mysps\DavWWWRoot failed again!
So, I would like to hear to those who have succeeded to use "Open with Explorer" with IE 10 or 11 installed in 64-bit O/S.

Hi Horinius,
According to your description, my understanding is that "Open with Explorer" didn’t work with IE 10 & 11 in SharePoint 2010.
I commend you use IE 10 or 11 32-bit rather than 64-bit. Then check whether the browser SharePoint add-ons are enabled. If not, please enable them.
You can check browser add-ons by opening IE->Tools->Programs->Manage add-ons-> check all add-ons related to SharePoint, such as SharePoint OpenDocuments Class. If there is not any add-on related to SharePoint, please repair your Office by clicking
Control Panel->Programs and Features-> select your Office, and right-click it, then select ‘Change’.
Please make sure that webClient service is running on your machine by opening Start->Administrative Tools->Services.

In SharePoint 2010 Document Library "Open with Explorer" Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi.
I am getting below error "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer" while click "Open with Explorer" option in document library.
My system is client machine which is 32 Bit system and
Web Client service is also running and Window 7 PC.
Other SharePoint sites "Open with Explorer" option in document library is working fine but specific site is giving error.
Even it was working fine but not is giving this error.
Please help me on it. Its making frustrations.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

How do I keep the name tags in Picasa Web Albums from appearing on the images by default? With Explorer, name tags only appear when mousing over the image, but with Firefox, all the tags appear on the picture as soon as it is loaded, which looks messy.

I use Picasa to create web albums, and I tag people who appear in the pictures. With Explorer, the name tags do not appear on the pictures until I mouse over a specific person, at which point the tag appears. With Firefox, the name tags appear as soon as the picture is loaded, and only disappear when you mouse over the people in the picture. This makes the picture look messy; by default, one would want to see a picture without tags all over people's faces.
The only way to "fix" this is to disable the name tags completely (or tell people to use Explorer!), but this is not an ideal solution, since I would like to be able to share albums with people's names in them.

The Dimension with ID ... doesn't exist in the collection

BPC 7.5 SP3, MS SQL 2005
I am processing an applicaiton using the Admin console. Choosing "Modify Application", checking the "Process Application" checkbox and clicking "Modify Application" to rebuild the app. The result is successful completion with an error on the details portion of the display under "Modify Fact Table" that lists and exception in the Log. The log in the management console shows the error
Microsoft.AnalysisServices.ItemNotFoundException: The "Dimension" with "ID" = PROFITCENTER doesn't exist in the collection.
The ProfitCenter dimension is one of the application's dimensions.
I can process the ProfitCenter dimension and process this application as part of the dimension processing and it is successful.
I can optimize this application and it is successful.
The application appears to be working properly.
I can open the cube in SQL Server Analysis Services and I can see the ProfitCenter dimension and browse its members. I can open the application cube and browse it.
I checked the profitcenter dimension member table and compared it to the fact tables and all the facts are base level members that are not calculated members.
Has anyone seen this error? Is this just a spurious message I can ignore or is there something really wrong?

We were able to solve this issue today. We turned off Insight and reprocessed the application. The error did not appear. I hope this works for you too.

OWB10gR2 - Cube with relations to a dimension with more than one hierarchy

Hi,
I have defined a time dimension with two hierarchies. The standard hierarchy with the levels year-> month-> day,
and a week hierarchy with the levels year-> week-> day.
When I define the cube i choose dim_time on the dimension tab of the cube and select the level day for that dimension since this is the lowest level of both hierarchies.
When I validate the cube I get the following error Message: VLD-0398: In the Cube test_cube, the dimension DIM_TIME has 2 hierarchies but Cube does not have reference to all lowest levels of these hierarchies.
Validation details: The Cube should refer to a leaf levels of all multiple hierarchies of the Dimension.
Do I have to add the dimension to the cube several times? or is it maybe another way to fix this? To me it seems a bit messy to add a dimension for each hierarchy.
And just as a comment, Yes i know OWB now has a time dimension wizard but I have chosen not to use this at the moment.. ;)
Regards Ragnar

Hi, i assume this logic is for Dimension formula?
If you have multiple hierarchy like ParentH1 and ParentH2 you should use FormulaH1 and FormulaH2 and not FORMULA column.
in FORMULAH1
[Account.H1].[Account_A] / [Account.H1].[Account_B]

Event handler - open with explorer issue

hi all,
I have developed an event handler (itemadded syncronuos) for a library. i need to populate title field
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
properties.ListItem["Title"] = "some value"
properties.ListItem.SystemUpdate();
I have deployed the same feature to 2 environments -> Dev Env, Test Env.
when I copy and paste a pdf file with "Open with explorer" in Dev Env it works fine.
when I do the same in Test Env i can't copy the file and i get this error:
Error 0x80070057: the parameter is incorrect.
I see this in my Event Viewer
The description for Event ID 14901 from source WebClient cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
Could you help me?
Thanks.

On your local machine you are as you on the server, are you try it on the test server or browsing the test environment from local machine and doing the copy from local machine. also i hope your event handler is not firing on all the list, just make
sure. You can try this in a different library..create a fresh library and see what happen without event handler.

Issue with "Open with Explorer" feature

Hello
Since the middle of last week, our users are experiencing some strange issues with the feature "Open with Explorer".
This feature is normally working perfectly, but from time to time, the users are receiving the error message when clicking on the button: "We´re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and
try again.".
In all those computers, the SharePoint site is already in Trusted Sites list or in Local Intranet list. Moreover, just closing Internet Explorer and reopening it fix the issue.
Do you know what could be the reason of such a strange behavior?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Yann

Make sure you are not running into the following scenario.
SPS13
"Open with Explorer" random error "We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again"
I quote directly from the above blog post but make sure you read the entire blog post.
The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
Resolution:
Check and ensure, that the “Managed Paths”
are not changed
in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
this web application and there is a working Root site collection.
