BW Queries mismatch in table and ST03

Hi
In St03, 3 queries has run in one infocube with 145 navigation step yesterday. When i checked the table 'RSDDSTAT' , there are infformation about 445 queries that run yesetrday for the same infocube.
is it the right way to check the number of queries that has been executed in BW system for any infocubes?
Thanks
Amar

Did you check the statistics settings ? RSA1 > Tools > BI statistics settings > Query tab

Ora-01219 database not open; only queries on fixed tables and views.

Hi everyone
There is another post stating this error, but since the source is different, I think is okay to make a different post as well.
Our database was working fine until the other day, when suddenly power went off, UPS was damaged and didn't hold, and when we restarted the database this is what happens:
Using Enterprise Manager Console, we can make a succesful connection in the same machine, but if we choose Schema, the following error appears:
ora-01219 database not open; only queries on fixed tables and views.
When accesing from a different machine:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
Thanks in advance

Data mismatch between TABLE and Std. Extract str. (AFPO & 2LIS_04_P_MATNR)

Hi,
I am getting data mismatch in ECC standard table and ECC standard extract structure. Please help me.
I am using 2LIS_04_P_P_MATNR data source (standard extract structure).
I have following data in ECC Table (AFPO - Order Item).
AUFNR (Order Number) --> 4000460
PGMNG (Total planned quantity) --> 0
PSMNG (ORDER QTY) --> 2000
Extract Structure is showing following data.
AUFNR (Order Number) --> 4000460
PGMNG (Total planned quantity) --> 2000 (It should be zero)
PSMNG (ORDER QTY) --> 2000
I have checked with many other order numbers. The extract structure in RSA3 is showing correct values only if PGMNG is non-zero values. If PGMNG is zero, then it is automatically assigning PSMNG value.
Is this common? I want to display correct values for PGMNG from AFPO Table. Why this mismatch between table data and extract data. I have done all required steps refreshing data (deleting setup tables, filling set up tables etc.).
pls suggest. Poinsts will be assigned to every useful answer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Avneet,
I have a similar problem where in AFPO shows value 1000 in PSMNG field and 1200 in RSA3 for extractor 2LIS_04_P_MATNR.
I have found that the standard feature of the extractor extracts the data at the time of release of process order. If the process order is changed after the release then the extractor will not picup the chagne.
Ex: AFPO value 1000 ---BI Value 1000
Now released in ECC
AFPO value 1000 ---BI Value 1000
In ECC value changed to 1500 after the release. BI will not pickup the change.
Extractor is pulling the data from MCAFPOV table. You can check the values, there it matches with RSA3 values.
I was just going thru forums for the solution. After i found the solution. I am just updating it.
Hope it helps you.

Combine 2 Queries (from SAME table) into a SINGLE query

I have this two queries (from SAME table), and want to combine into one SINGLE query, how?
How can we use CASE WHEN THEN for such situation?
Query1:
SELECT t_inner.*,
Floor(t_inner.ProductiveTime/ 3600) || 'hr:' || LPAD(Floor(Mod(t_inner.ProductiveTime,3600) / 60),2,0) || 'min:' AS Productive_Time,

sum(TIME_TEST + TIME_STEP) AS ProductiveTime,
sum(TIME_IDLE) AS OperatorDownTime
FROM PFODS.PPL_TESTSYSTEMS_UTILISATION
WHERE (SYSTEMTYPE = '0005-072')
AND (TS_START >= to_date('13/01/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY'))
AND TS_End <= to_date('17/01/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY') + 1 + (1/1440) +(59/86400)
AND MONO != '9999999999'
GROUP BY SYSTEMTYPE ) t_inner
Query 2:
SELECT t_inner.*,
Floor(t_inner.MachineDownTime/ 3600) || 'hr ' || LPAD(Floor(Mod(t_inner.MachineDownTime,3600) / 60),2,0) || 'min' AS MachineDown_Time

GROUP BY SYSTEMTYPE) t_inner
see http://postimg.org/image/koq87iyyz/ and

AND MONO != '9999999999'
GROUP BY SYSTEMTYPE) t_inner
it gives output as from

AND MONO = '9999999999'
GROUP BY SYSTEMTYPE) t_inner
it gives output as from

I want to come those 2 queries into a single query, such that it gives both outputs as above. Let me know if you need any other information. thanks.

3 queries 3 tables and in a NON-relational DBMS

3 queries 3 tables and in a NON-relational DBMS
i got this msg box error:
Error prop_id is a invalid identifier.
basically i have querying form a non rel_dbms.
with this statement
select a.case_nbr, a.Aplc_id
from Tcase a
, tloc b
, tla_prop c
where c.plan_area_nbr = '1'
and b.loc_id = a.Prop_id
and a.Aplc_id = b.aplc_id
thanks for responding
here is the first
query.
select prop_id, plan_area_nbr
from tla_prop
where plan_area_nbr = '1'
then i got a bunch of prop_id's from tla_prop that has plan_area_nbr of 1
the second query will have
select aplc_id, loc_id
from tloc
where loc_id is equal/the same prop_id from the table tla_prop
the third selection
will contain aplc_id from table tcase = aplc_is from the table tloc
select case_nbr, Aplc_id
from Tcase
where Aplc_id = Secondselection.prop_id
the goal is really to get the case_nbr with all criterias from query1,2,3 and table 1,2,3.
any ideas?
hmm, thanks in advance

Hi
Try this:
select a.case_nbr, a.Aplc_id
from Tcase a , tloc b , tla_prop c
where c.plan_area_nbr = '1'
and b.loc_id = c.Prop_id
and a.Aplc_id = b.aplc_id

OBIEE bypasses smaller aggregate table and queries largest aggregate table

Hello,
Currently we are experiencing something strange regarding queries that are generated.
Scenario:
We have 1 detail table and 3 aggregate tables in the RPD. For this scenario I will only refer to 2 of the Aggregates.
Aggregate 1 (1 million rows):
Contains data - Division, Sales Rep, Month, Sales
Aggregate 2 (13 milliion rows):
Contains data - Division, Product, Month, Sales
Both tables are set at the appropriate dimension levels in the Business Model. Row counts have been updated in the physical layer in the RPD.
When we create an answers query that contains Division, Month and Sales, one would think that OBIEE would query the smaller and faster of the two tables. However, obiee wants to query the table with 13 million records completely bypassing the smaller table. If we make the larger aggregate inactive, then OBIEE queries the smaller table. We can't figure out why OBIEE wants to immediately go to the larger table.
Has anyone experienced something such as this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: gwb on Aug 19, 2009 7:45 AM

Have you try to change the sort order of the logical table source in your logical table ?

Set the Aggregate 1 first.

Mismatch in last entry in OJDT table and Nextval in series numbering setup

Dear Support Team,
We are getting FIRST DEFINE THE NUMBERING SERIES IN THE ADMINISTRATION MODULE ERROR ON ADDING ANY DOCUMENT.
We checked for authorisation , group and posting periods. Everything in it's place.
There is a mismatch in the last transid of OJDT table and the Nextval generated in document numbering series setup.
How do we correct this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you
Pradnya

Hi,
We solved it by locking the erroneous series and by creating a new one. But your suggestion was more right and practical.
Thanks for the valuable suggestion. We will keep this in mind.
Thanking you

How to join two tables and get the supply delivery date next to order?

So there are two tables. One has customer's order no, ordered date, order quantity, available quantity and code of article-
The other table comes form supply side where we have supply order no, article number, ordered qty, and delivery date.
We keep stock so this can not be MOT (made to order) system.
What i need is correct date of arrival to appear next to cusotmers spoecirfic order. The older cusotmers order get's the parts first, second oldest order is next in line etc.
here is any example
customer's order
ref order
art. code
ordered qty
available qty
order date
1809202491

supply order
supply order
art. code
qty orderd
date of arrival

4501263437
700497

6.10.2014
There is actually a 3rd "table" and that sort of connects the two and that is stock on hand per art. code.
The main issue is that stock is assigned to purchase orders only when it actually arrives in the warehouse.
A human can easilly connect the dates of when the stock will arrive and quantities with correct customer's order. In this case the firts order will get 50 pcs in August while 10 pcs will remain on backorders. The missing 10 pcs Will arrive in October. The second order will get 10 pcs in october and 3 will remain on backorders with no delivery date. While the third customer orders does not have a delivery date.
So how to make the SAP do this calculations and display the arrival date next to date of customer's order?

I checked the instructions as i do not have access to this part. It seem this is a query. We had issues with queries in the past as not all codes from orders would appear in them. They never found the reason why that is happening.
However, I think the main issue is that the information here is not connected and is separately provided for supply and for sales. So i doubt it can be connected in this query.
edit: as you can see the only connection is stock on hand.
and total number of various items we have is close to 100.000 of various article codes.

How to get table and column names thats being used in SQL , that's generating all my reports on SSRS.

Good day,
I searched through the forum and cant find anything.
I have around 300 published reports on SSRS and we are busy migrating to a new system.
They have already setup their tables on the new system and I need to provide them with a list of table names and column names that are being used currently to generate the 300 reports on SSRS.
We use various tables and databases to generate these reports, and will take me forever to go through each query to get this info.
Is it at all possible to write a query in SQL 2008 that will give me all the table names and columns being used?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
I thank you.
Andre.

There's no straightforward method for that I guess. There are couple of things you can use to get these details
1. query the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog table
for getting details
you may use script below for that
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/42440a6b-c5b1-4acc-9632-d608d1c40a5c
2. Another method is to run the reports and run sql profiler trace on background to retrieve queries used.
But in some of these cases the report might be using a procedure and you will get only procedure. Then its upto you to get the other details from procedure like tables used, columns etc
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Two queries on same table in sender JDBC adapter

Hi all..
My requirement is as follows....
query a table and fetch rows where column Error="true"
If there are no records in the table satisfying the above condition ,i want to send a mail stating that there are not records with error flag set to "true"
But the problem is i wont get a message to PI if there are no records.
If i write a query to get the count of records where column Error="true",Obviously the count would be zero. Using this message from database i can send a mail.
Now please let me know if i can write both the queries in query SQL statement? if so howshould be the source structure?
Thanks
Ram..

Hello ram,
As far as i know it is not possible to use two different SQL statements in the sender adapter, though you can try with the join statement.
For further information refer this discussion

I'm trying to use columns from almost all the fact and dimension tables but getting "Unable to navigate requested expression. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings."
Repository is consistent and no errors and warnings.
How can I configure the repository to develop reports using all fact tables and dimensions?
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.
Thanks

Are there any (dis)advantages in building a universe on fully normalized tables instead of building dimensional model/tables and then universe on top of them?

Hello,
I’m hoping someone can help me with understanding advantages and disadvantages if we want to build a universe on top of a fully normalized tables, compared to using a dimensional model with star schemas.
I’ve read some discussions here that say that it is possible to create a universe on top of normalized tables. Then, can we avoid building of dimensional tables (a data mart), and just use normalized tables? I would say that it is easier to use star schema dimensions and facts tables to build a universe, but our end users might ask “why do we have to go through building a dimensional data mart, if we can have same reports with hierarchies and drill-down functionality based on a universe built on top of our already existing normalized tables?”
Can you point me to some established best practices regarding using normalized tables to build a universe? Any documents with some examples for this?
Any expected difficulties during design/development phase of our universe, related to using normalized tables?
Any expected performance degradation if we use normalized tables compared to using dimensional tables?
Can I build universe more easily if I transform (modify) our normalized model (by using alias tables and views) to look like snowflake model?
I’m using BOE XI 3.1, tables are in Oracle 11.2.
Thank you

Few Disadvantages that I usually face when building universe on Normalized tables,
1. Performance - Read operations have to suffer because indexing strategies do not go well with table joins
2. Derived Tables - Due to complex Queries/ Logic, most of the time, end-up creating derived tables, which doesn't use back-end table indexes and slows down the report runtime.
3. Normalized table/ Transaction tables may not always have proper cardinality and often results in Cartesian products
4. Normalized tables may not have tight referential integrity and may have to join more than one column and join on varchar, etc whereas, good Dimensional model datawarehouse will have proper keys/ integer joins and not always necessary to join on multiple fields
5. Often deal with Fan and Chasm Traps
6. Dealing with Database fields with nulls, blanks, date in numeric format, etc.,
7. No Facts, Dimensions separated and most of the time they are in same table
and More...
If performance is not a matter and building Datawarehouse is a big deal, then I will start building Universe on normalized tables by having the database diagram as reference for Joins, contexts, etc
Note: After dealing with universes based on normalized tables for few years (by creating views, complex sql queries data loading to tables and unv on these tables, derived tables), I ended up creating star-schema dimensional model (couple of months extra ETL work), users/ developers felt lot better when they have to create standard/ ad-hoc reports and they are super fast compared to previous universes.
