Data from two fact tables??

I have a report in which I am comparing two fact tables at month level. I have columns calculated at this level.
One fact has all month entries and other does not have all.
I need to show all the month values and measures in the report even if some months donot exist in one fact and exists in the other.
Currently, my report shows only those months which two facts have in common.
Please suggest.

Left join didnot work for me..Still getting the same result.
I created two identical reports from two identical facts.... using "combine with similar request"
Dummied columns from 2nd fact (placed 0s) for 1st report
and dummied columns from 1st fact (placed 0s) for 2nd report.
In the fnal report..
I am getting two rows for each month..
I need to club those two rows into single row by summing up the values..is that possible?
January ..................10 .........0
January...................0............15
February..................3.............0
February ..................0...........-1
I need the out put as..
January.....................10............15
February.....................3............-1

Error encountered while loading data into an Essbase cube from oracle DB

Hi All,
I am trying to load data into an Essbase cube from Oracle db. Essbase is installed in an 64 bit HP-UX machine and oracle database on HP -UX 11.23 B server. While performing the above I am getting the below error messages:
K/INFO - 1021013 - ODBC Layer Error: [08001] ==> [[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver][Oracle]ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

Can you please help me out in identifying the issue, as why it could have occured , because of network problem or is there anything related to databse?

The error is related to Oracle, I would check that it is all up and running

Designing a cube with two Fact tables

Hi,
I am new to multi-dimensional modeling. I am trying to define a cube with two fact tables which have many to many relationship. so I came up with following schema:-
I want to design a cube so that I can get the count of "FactOne" items which are related to "FactTwo" items having particular status. So, I want to get the count of "FactOne" where they are related to items in "FactTwo"
which have "Status1". Could anyone please guide me how would I do it?
Thanks

Hi Ahsan,
In your scenario, there are tow fact tables on your Data Source View, and now what you want is that "count of FactOne" which are related to "FactTwo" in a particular status, right?
It seem that you have find a blog that describes how to select facts with reference dimension on you another thread. As per my understanding, you can follow that blog to achieve your requirement.

When I try to create an external content type based on a view (AdventureWorks2012.vSalesPerson) - I can display the data in an external list. When I attempt to edit it, I get an error:
External List fails when attached to a SQL view
Sorry, something went wrong
Failed to update a list item for this external list based on the Entity (External Content Type) 'SalesForce' in EntityNamespace 'http://xxxxxxxx'. Details: The query against the database caused an error.
I can edit the view in SQL Manager, so it seems strange that it fails.

How to save, update and retrieve data from two diffrent table

Hi,
I can save and retrieve data into an user defined SBO form from one database table only. How can I save retrieve and update records from two or more different tables in a single screen?
Regards,
Sudeshna.

Sudeshna,
Are these tables external to SAP Business One and do not have a Business Object? If there is a Business Object available such as if you were to enter an order, that order would use the Documents object which abstracts you, the programmer, from the underlying tables that need to be updated. If you are handling multiple business objects you would need to wrap the transaction with the StartTransaction - EndTransaction methods. This information is detailed in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center that comes with the SDK.

Need to pull the information from two facts and associated dimensions

HI All, i need to pull all the columns from the two Facts and their associated dimensions, get the results.
here is the example:
Fact1 --> D1, D2, D3
FACT2--> DA, DB, DC, D1
D1 Dimension has a Join with two fact tables, as long as i'm using columns from D1 and FACT2, DA, DB, DC report works.
but my requirement is to get the results when pulling the columns from all the dimensions and two facts like Fact1, FACT2, D1, D2, D3, DA, DB, DC
how to achieve this requirement, can someone pls help me with this.
your responses are much appreciated.
Thanks
rar

Hi RAR,
I assume you have created proper dimensional hierarchies for all the dimensions in your subject area. Also, ensure that all of them have a Total Level created.
Assuming the above, since D1 is a conformed dimension, if you create a report having columns from only D1,Fact1 and Fact2, the report should show you proper results.
For creating a report having columns from all tables, ensure the following:
1. For all measure columns from Fact1 to be included in the report, set them to be calculated at the Total Level of dimensions DA, DB and DC
2. For all measure columns from Fact2 to be included in the report, set them to be calculated at the Total Level of dimensions D2 and D3
The physical sql will fire separate queries for the 2 star schemas and then join them using the conformed dimension.
Hope this helps,
Gaurav

How to build an Essbase cube

Hi Everyone
I am new to Essbase , i looking for step by step process of creating essbase cubes . Please suggest me what tools do i need to use to build essbase cubes on relational database(Oracle 10g) . How hard is it for fresh guy to build according to a business requirement. Do i need to learn any scripting language to build a cube which involves in lot of calculation. I have googled a lot to get information on this, but i didn't get full information .Please provide me a link or doc or video through which i will get complete understanding of building essbase cube.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sandeep Artham

To start with Oracle by Example is one the best source:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hyp_ana/ess11.1.1.htm
It contains proper audio/video lessons as well.
Hyperion Essbase provides powerful analytical processing to fulfill a broad spectrum of business performance management needs across all levels and functional areas of business. Information is stored in multiple dimensions and hierarchies that provide a concise and intuitive application model, because they define multiple views of information in the same way users organize, navigate and select information for analysis. It means business understanding plays a vital role in heading towards Essbase.
Essbase has our very own Calc scripts, No doubt it becomes easy for you to learn it if you have prior programming experience. Not so hard but its fun. Its really exciting how you extract information from the data, which the help of such a stong tool.
Best of Luck.

Report with non aggregated and aggregated columns from different facts.

Hi,
We have got requirement as follows,
1) We have two dimension tables, and two fact(Fact1 and Fact2) table in physical.
2) In BMM we have made hierarchies for both dimensions, and are joins both logical fact table.
3)In fact1, we are having three measures of which we have made two as aggregation sum, and one is non aggregated(It contains character).
4)Fact2 have two measures, both are aggregation as sum.
5)Now here the problem arises, we want to make a report with some columns from dim and non aggrgated column from fact1 and and aggregated column fact2
How to resolve the above issue.
Regards,
Ankit

As suggested you really want to move your none-aggregated fact attributes to a logical dimension (using the same physical table as the logical fact). Map this in the BMM layer as a snowflake, Place a hierarchy on this dimension with (at minimum) Total -> Detail levels, then on the other fact table you want to include in the report, set the content level on your other fact measures to the 'Total' level for your new logical Dim and it will allow them to be present in the same report.

Unexpected results getting data from two fact tables through conformed dim

Hi all,
We are getting an unexpected behaviour in our OBIEE 10.1.3.3.3. We have this scenario:
We have {color:#0000ff}2 fact tables{color}{color:#000000} called F1 and F2. F1 has one measure, f1m1 and F2 has another one, f2m1.
We have {color:#0000ff}4 conformed dimensions{color}, called D1, D2, D3, Date.
When we are requesting for individual fact tables, we are getting:
date d1 d2 d3 f1m1
dt1 - x - y - z - m1
dt1 - x - y - z' - m2
date d1 d2 d3 f2m1
dt1 - x - y - z - m3
dt1 - x - y - z'' - m4
But, trying to obtain a compare scenario, we are getting
date d1 d2 d3 f1m1 f2m1
dt1 x y z m1 m4
Instead of
date d1 d2 d3 f1m1 f2m1
dt1 x y z m1 m3
Looking at query log, we have catched the reason. That's why BI Server is using to solve this request using ROW_COUNT() to join SAWITH0 and SAWITH1 in SAWITH2 result set. So, the order may not be the same in the results sets in every fact table. More or less, generated query is like:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS
(select ....
from F1),
SAWITH1 AS
(select ...
from F2),
SAWITH2 AS
select from (select ...
ROW_NUMBER() OVER PARTITION (....) c10
from SAWITH0.d1 full outer join SAWITH1.d1 ....) D1
{color:#ff0000}where (D1.c10 = 1){color}
select SAWITH2. ....
from SAWITH2
order by c1..c10
The problems seems to be that BI server is ordering the result sets SAWITH0 and SAWITH1 and getting row number to join this results sets, but this is not getting the correct result.
Any ideas?
TIA

I have done a logical fact table with two fact table source on it.
The Sql performed against the database was this one.
-------------------- Sending query to database named PRODS_AIX (id: <<153418>>):
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T21296.CONSUMERS_SALES_EURO) as c1,
     T21309.DIVISION_CODE as c2
from
     DIVISION T21309,
     C_CONSUMERS_SALES T21296
where ( T21296.DIVISION = T21309.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T21309.DIVISION_CODE),
SAWITH1 AS (select sum(T21356.ORDER_VALUE) as c1,
     T21309.DIVISION_CODE as c2
from
     DIVISION T21309,
     DWH_SALES_ORDER_OVERVIEW T21356
where ( T21309.DIMENSION_KEY = T21356.DIVISION_KEY )
group by T21309.DIVISION_CODE)
select distinct case when SAWITH0.c2 is not null then SAWITH0.c2 when SAWITH1.c2 is not null then SAWITH1.c2 end as c1,
     SAWITH0.c1 as c2,
     SAWITH1.c1 as c3
from
     SAWITH0 full outer join SAWITH1 On nvl(SAWITH0.c2 , 'q') = nvl(SAWITH1.c2 , 'q') and nvl(SAWITH0.c2 , 'z') = nvl(SAWITH1.c2 , 'z')
order by c1As you can see one select (SAWITH0) for the first fact table C_CONSUMERS_SALES and one select for the second fact table DWH_SALES_ORDER_OVERVIEW (SAWITH1 ) and the two statement are joined with a full outer join.
I ask me why you have the three select (SAWITH0,SAWITH1 and SAWITH2). Can you please paste the complete SQL performed ?
Can you tell us also which SQL is performed if you select only the columns from one fact table and not for the other ?

Result set from two fact tables

Hi,
I have two fact tables, fact1, fact2. These two fact tables share common dimension dimension1.
In RPD I joined dimension1 to fact1, fact2.
In Answers I pulled the columns from fact1, fact2 and dimension1, I am getting ODBC Error, no fact table exists at the requested level..
When I pull the columns from fact1, dimension1 i am getting result.
When I pull the columns from fact2, dimension1 i am getting result.
Please suggest me how to resolve this.
Thanks & regards,
SR

Whether Fact1 and Fact2 are 2 sperate Logical Fact Tables or part of same logical fact tables.
If they are separate logical fact tables then check for the Properties of Logical Table Source - Content Tab and set aggregation level for Dimension 1 hierarchy for respective facts.
Thanks!

Confirmed Dimensions. OBIEE Not able to pull data from two fact tables.

Hi Experts,
I have a very simple set up of Star Schema with two fact tables and 1 dimension. Both fact tables joined to the dimension at the same level.
When i pull a column from both fact tables and the dimension table in OBIEE, it has to create simple SQL like below:
select FACT1.column1,
Fact2.Column1,
Dim.Column1
from FACT1, FACT2, DIM
where FACT1.ID = DIM.ID and FACT2.ID = DIM.ID
but instead it creating a query in a very complex way:
select case when D1.c2 is not null then D1.c2 when D2.c2 is not null then D2.c2 end as c2,
     D1.c1 as c3,
     D2.c1 as c4
from
     (select FACT1.Column1 as c1,
               DIM.Column1 as c2
          from
               DIM T1287863,
               FACT1 T1287945
   where (DIM.ID = FACT1.ID)
       ) D1 full outer join (
        select FACT2.Column1 as c1,
               DIM.Column1 as c2
          from
               DIM,
               FACT2
          where ( DIM.ID = FACT2.ID)
     ) D2 On isnull(D1.c2 , '1') = isnull(D2.c2 , '1') and isnull(D1.c2 , '2') = isnull(D2.c2 , '2')
I even tried setting the levels for both the fact tables and it still creates the query in avove way. Any thoughts on this will be vary helpful.

Subramanian,
see below the code we're using for the RFM.
on the ct_containers table i'm passing a line, and its getting updated after the call.
on the ct_errors table i just want to receive the errors and i only receive the line, we add manually there ('Serious error with validation code').

Reporting Essbase cubes from Answers

I followed the documentation available in support site to configure Essbase cubes in RPD in a Solaris environment. I got the Essbase client installed, added required variables (HYPERION_HOME, ESSBASEPATH, ARBORPATH) and cahnged LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable in OracleBI\setup\user.sh file. I started the BI Services in 64-bit mode successfully.

Tony,
thanks for your reply...
I thought about that as well but the 14 cubes (countries) are allowed to add level 0 members so in the mapping table i need to point to the correct Essbase cube as well..
I wasn't able to find any script that is triggered while updating the mapping (by clicking browse for target value)..
So adjusting the connect does solve my problem partially since there's some kind of cache that i need to refresh..
Do you know if this is possible?
Otherwise i have to go for the multiple adapter solution.
Kind regards,

Calculating count from two fact tables

Hi Guys,
My requirement,
i have two fact table F1, F2 connected with a D1 dimension table, all table connected with a id column
F1 ---------D1------------F2
n 1 1 n
i want to find out the distinct count from Fact F1 where the value also present in F2( ie. F1.id= F2.id condition).
this measure usefull through out my project so i want create a logical column, how to create it.
I tried this way:
i Created two fact table in to one fact table by adding logical source, and created a logical column from existing logical source where F1.id=D1.id and D1.id=F2.Id but it is wrong
Can any suggestion for solve my problem.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
You can create an opaque view in physical layer and wrire a sql like
Select f1.id,count(*) from f1,f2 where f1.id=f2.id group by f1.id.Join this through id with dimesnion and add this fact table in LTS of your fact and use count(*) in report.

Sandeep
