Combine OLAP and non OLAP universes

Gurus,very interesting insight here
Re: Integrating OLAP Universe and Non OLAP Universe
I need to confirm the steps here for approach 2
Create 2 queries in a Web Intelligence document and synchronize the data providers in the document: it works for any source. It needs to be done in each document.
steps
1)Create OLAP universe
2)Create non OLAP universe
3)create WEBI document on OLAP universe
4)create WEBI document on non OLAP universe
??? next steps please
thanks

Create first Report and and Run it - Is this on Relational Universe ?
Create 2nd Report and run it - Is this on OLAP Universe ?
>> It doesn't matter.
Also it says run the report and per Ingo looks like its client slide,so is this merge temporary cannot be saved ,or can per Bashir can be saved in either of those 2 queries or can be saved as 3rd separate query .
>> it saved as part of the report
Also it says both should have common fields ,but if one query is from sap and other from non sap how can both be same fields?
example - SAP query may have field 0material while non SAP will have Zmaterlal ,how can we then merge dimensions
>> you can have common fields in different systems - or ?
I would suggest you look into the product documentation for details.

Integrating OLAP Universe and Non OLAP Universe

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem in integrating an OLAP universe and a universe on two dimensional database. Let me explain the scenario:
I have one BW query which gives plants A, B and C sales details. I have one more database (SQL Server), which gives plants D and E sales details. The requirement is to show all the plants (A, B, C, D and E) sales in Xcelsius Dashboard. For this i followed the below approach:
1. To bring SAP plants data, i created universe on BW Query (OLAP Universe)
2. Created universe on SQL Server tables to bring Non-SAP plants data. (General Universe)
Now my doubt is, is there any approach or functionality to join or merge these two universes (OLAP and Non-OLAP). I think we can merge Non-OLAP universes. If this is not possible then what is the best approach.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks & Regards
Ramakrishna Kamurthy

Hi,
I n order to merge prompts in Web Intelligence query panel, they must be identoical: same question, same datatype.
But you have to pay attention to the fact that only one list of values will be used for the twio data sources.
So it the two data sources have different keys (or tecnnical names in SAP) then one query will work and the other not.
Again if you try to synchronize those two data providers in WebI you will hit the same issues: keys and caption might be different.
So I suggest to do some SQL transformation on the relational universe to match keys and captions in SAP BW data source.
I recommend this because SAP BW does not support custom calculations that return string or dates: only numeric values are supported.
So in that case if you are sure that keys and captions will be identical in the two sources you will be able to merge prompts and synchronize both sources.

Didier

Combining automatic and non-automatic wrap-up time

Hi!
I was wondering if it was possible to combine automatic and non-automatic wrap-up?
I want to configure it to have a 10 sec automatic wrap-up after each call. But I also want the possibility to enter the work status manually if more time is required, without having to go to a Not ready status.
We are using CAD 8
Regards,
Vegard

Hi,
any solution for this ?? Basically we must have the possibility to extend the wrap up time (Work state) manually (eg. by pressing the work button in CAD) if the agents needs more time than the configured wrap up time.
Thanks!

Oracle discoverer olap and 11g olap

Does anyone know if i can use disco plus olap against an 11g database cube. currently with my patch level it definately doesn't work as i cantwven select a catalog to report on but if i add patches will it work? and is it certified?
i have read the following and it still isn't clear
Doc ID: 808276.1
and
Doc ID: 727948.1
please help
Thanks

Oracle makes it a general policy not to announce things in future releases, even bug fixes, without due approval from senior management. This puts Oracle developers in the unfortunate position of not being able to pass on information in forums like this, which is why you are not able to get a straight answer to your very reasonable question.
It is true that full support and certification for D4O and the Excel Add-In did not make the 11.1 release. This was for two reasons.
(1) On the OLAP Option side there were so many changes to the metadata layer in 11.1 that there simply was not time to fix all the bugs. As I said earlier, D4O basically works against 11.1, but the OLAP group did feel confidence in its stability and performance. I can say that many D4O related OLAP bugs were logged and targeted for 11.2 and that stability and quality is the number one goal for the 11.2 OLAP release.
(2) The teams that worked on Discoverer classic, Discoverer for OLAP, and the Excel Add-In were moved on to new projects following the acquisition of Siebel. You can see the statement of direction here .
Of these clearly the latter is the bigger problem. Oracle OLAP itself is committed to maintaining support for existing interfaces and the OLAP API (used by D4O) has not been deprecated. In fact it was the basis of much of the work in 11g.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

Hi Amit,
Moved to Universe Forum.
If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.

Combining cumulative and non cumulative Key fig in same report with Quarter

Hi there,
could someone please help with the following,
I need to define a query, with a Keyfig called Amount (cumulative) coming from Controlling Cube, and HR Head count(non cumulative) from HR cube. Need to display Quarters in columns, Amt and Head Count in Rows. User might want to expand quarters and should be able to see the amount/Head count values for each of Fiscperiods. Up to this point, I had my definitions made, everything seems good.
problem here is, structure defined for quarters is basically a formula that sum up each fiscperiods, so it is working for fine for the amount, but for head count, it should not sum up each period values, rather need to average.....How can I achieve this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
My scenario kinda take an hr to explain, difficult to put it here on the thread.
to keep it simple, I need Head Count as LAST value with respective to calmonth, but need to have average with respective to Quarter. where I have defined the quarter as formula (mth1Variable Value Type + Mth1Variable Value type + mth2variable value type + mth2variable value type .....etc). So I could not set the aggregation as average in the formula. Rather I used cell definitions.
Thanks Again

SAP and Non-SAP data to Xcelsius

Hi Experts,
I m new to Xcelsius and i a m currently working on Xcelsius project, i need help on approach to bring both SAP and Non-SAP data to Xcelsius. Here the scenario goes on....
Total 6 plants are there, out of 6, 4 plants are on SAP and other 2 plants are on Non-SAP (Excel)
The requirement is to develop a dashboard to see all the plants details (both SAP and Non-SAP)
The approach i suggested for SAP: ECC --> BW --> InfoProvider --> Query --> QaaWS --> Xcelsius
For non-sap, data is available in excel, so we can bring that data directly to xcelsius, but problem is how to make it dynamaic because data in excel changes daily.
So my doubt is, if i develop a universe on excel files, then how to combine both SAP and Non-SAP universes. Is Data Federator is required for this or is there any approach to bring both SAP and Non-SAP data to Xcelsius.
Can any one help me on this
Thanks & Regards
Ramakrishna Kamurthy

hi
Another approach which i have used in the past is to have data in XML format, placed on a web server. When my data changes daily, i just export my data from excel or whatever source into the XML format..
Use the XML data connector to bring into xcelsius.
thanks.. hope this helps
regards
Jeff.

Olap and Oracle report

how can i build a report that combine data from OLAP source and data from a relational database
is there any way to build report based on OLAP data that could take parameter from user at runtime to filter data seen
please it's urgently required ...anyone 'ld help?

Yes you can create reports that combine OLAP and relational data together. Much depends on what you are trying to achieve.
- If you are looking to drill-through from OLAP to relational data Discoverer provides a drill through capability that allows users to define OLAP queries, perform their analysis using multi-dimensional concepts and then drill through into a relational data source via a URL drill out to a Discoverer relational workbook. Currently Discoverer OLAP does not support run time parameters, however, you can created saved selections that allow users to click on pre-defined query filters and apply then to an existing query. For example you could create a saved selections that show the following :
top 5 products based on revenue
top 5 products based on margin
bottom 5 products based on revenue
bottom 5 products based on margin
top 5 customers based on revenue
top 5 customers based on margin
bottom 5 customers based on revenue
bottom 5 customers based on margin
etc, etc
At the moment it is not possible to provide a prompt to allow the user to change value '5' to day '10'.
- if your reporting tool of choice supports embedded total dimensions then it is possible to create special relational views over the multi-dimensional model and provide relational access to the data objects. Both Business Objects XIR2 an Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition support embedded total views. This will allow you to create reports that accept run time parameters to filter your data set.
As this method relies on access to the multi-dimensional model it is very easy to combine that data with related relational data (assuming the keys are the same). There is more information on the OLAP home page on OTN about creating and managing relational access to OLAP cubes.
Hope this helps

Specific courses on OLAP and oracle security

sir
can anyone specify on specific courses and book(s) on OLAP and oracle db security?
thanx in advance

OLAP: Depends entirely on what you want to accomplish - basics, tools, migrating data to, etc.
I teach and recommend "Oracle Database 10g: Using OLAP (Data Warehousing and Oracle BI)" as a starter. Other stuff, go to http://education.oracle.com , enter 'OLAP' into the Search box and hit 'Go' button.
Database Security: Depends entirely on what you want to accomplish, but I find Oracle University course offerings lacking in this area. (I really wish May Ann Davidson would do something about that, and I'd love to help.)
The OCP Admin I and Admin II course each have a chapter discussing Security. I think these are rather simplistic for the commercial world, but most OCP candidates I see get stymied by even that level.
The "Oracle Database 10g: Security Release 2" course is a reasonably good starting point, but few offer it. (And yes, I teach that as well)

What's the Difference Between OLAP and OLTP?

HI,
What's the difference between OLAP and OLTP ? and which one is Best?
-Arun.M.D

Hi,
The big difference when designing for OLAP versus OLTP is rooted in the basics of how the tables are going to be used. I'll discuss OLTP versus OLAP in context to the design of dimensional data warehouses. However, keep in mind there are more architectural components that make up a mature, best practices data warehouse than just the dimensional data warehouse.
Corporate Information Factory, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon, Claudia Imhoff, Ryan Sousa
Building the Data Warehouse, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon
With OLTP, the tables are designed to facilitate fast inserting, updating and deleting rows of information with each logical unit of work. The database design is highly normalized. Usually and at least to 3NF. Each logical unit of work in an online application will have a relatively small scope with regard to the number of tables that are referenced and/or updated. Also the online application itself handles the majority of the work for joining data to facilitate the screen functions. This means the user doesn't have to worry about traversing across large data relationship paths. A heavy dose of lookup/reference tables and much focus on referential integrity between foreign keys. The physical design of the database needs to take into considerations the need for inserting rows when deciding on physical space settings. A good book for getting a solid base understanding of modeling for OLTP is The Data Modeling Handbook: A Best-Practice Approach to Building Quality Data Models by Michael C. Reingruber, William W. Gregory.
Example: Let's say we have a purchase oder management system. We need to be able to take orders for our customers, and we need to be able to sell many items on each order. We need to capture the store that sold the item, the customer that bought the item (and where we need to ship things and where to bill) and we need to make sure that we pull from the valid store_items to get the correct item number, description and price. Our OLTP data model will contain a CUSTOMER_MASTER, A CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_MASTER, A STORE_MASTER, AN ITEM_MASTER, AN ITEM_PRICE_MASTER, A PURCHASE_ORDER_MASTER AND A PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ITEM table. Then we might have a series of M:M relationships for example. An ITEM might have a different price for specific time periods for specific stores.
With OLAP, the tables are designed to facilitate easy access to information. Today's OLAP tools make the job of developing a query very easy. However, you still want to minimize the extensiveness of the relational model in an OLAP application. Users don't have the wills and means to learn how to work through a complex maze of table relationships. So you'll design your tables with a high degree of denormalization. The most prevalent design scheme for OLAP is the Star-Schema, popularized by Ralph Kimball. The star schema has a FACT table that contains the elements of data that are used arithmatically (counting, summing, averaging, etc.) The FACT Table is surrounded by lookup tables called Dimensions. Each Dimension table provides a reference to those things that you want to analyze by. A good book to understand how to design OLAP solutions is The Data Warehouse Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Building Dimensional Data Warehouses by Ralph Kimball.
Example: let's say we want to see some key measures about purchases. We want to know how many items and the sales amount that are purchased by what kind of customer across which stores. The FACT table will contain a column for Qty-purchased and Purchase Amount. The DIMENSION tables will include the ITEM_DESC (contains the item_id & Description), the CUSTOMER_TYPE, the STORE (Store_id & store name), and TIME (contains calendar information such as the date, the month_end_date, quarter_end_date, day_of_week, etc).

How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking, etc accessed with combinations of letters and functional keys prior to Snow Leopard be achieved in Snow Leopard?

How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking/punctuation pallet, available in pre-Snow Leopard OSes with various combinations of letter or number keys and functional keys, be accessed in Snow Leopard? Those pre-Snow Leopard versions worked on the fly as one was making text in any pedestrian application and its native font (Mail, Text Edit, for example). One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font preferences, etc.

> One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font
> preferences, etc.
It hasn't worked like that since the Early Chalcolithic (ie, System 7 or thereabouts).
You've already got plenty of answers. Briefly (and grossly oversimplified),
- Mac OS X conforms to a standard known as Unicode; in its current incarnation, it defines over 100k characters.
- A keypress is translated into a character according to the current keyboard layout.
- The graphic representation of a character (ie, glyph), is provided by the current font.
- If a font lacks a glyph for the requested character, either another font will be automatically chosen (Mac OS X text engine), or some form of feedback (empty box, question mark, etc) will be used.
- To inspect the actual key codes, use a utility such as Key Codes.
- To inspect the current keyboard layout, invoke Keyboard Viewer.
- To inspect the full complement of glyphs of a font, invoke Character Viewer (also accessed with the Special Characters command).
(Remember that both these utilities are resizable and zoomable -- you can enlarge them to a comfortable viewing size, then zoom out to see more of the screen for your original task.)
- For a more detailed look, use a utility such as UnicodeChecker.
- The default keyboard layout depends on your Mac OS X localisation.
(Keep in mind that there's no need to stick with the default layout; choose whichever one makes sense to you, given your language, habits, and proclivities. Mac OS X comes bundled with quite a few, including some obviously designed for the huddled masses of refugees from the Dark Side, who, in their wretched ignorance, have the unmitigated gall of labelling our native ways "really uncomfortable". Oh well, this, too, shall pass.
If none of the supplied keyboard layouts fits your needs -- if, for instance, you write your emails in Etruscan -- go out on the 'net, you'll find quite a few. Or write your own with Ukulele, it's not really all that difficult.)
- Use Keyboard Viewer to familiarise yourself with the current layout and to enter the odd character; but, to be proficient, you should learn your layout to the point that KV is no longer needed.
- Use Character Viewer to enter the odd character not available in the current keyboard layout.
Neither Keyboard Viewer nor Character Viewer are effective tools for more extensive needs, eg, for writing and editing bilingual or multilingual texts. In such a case, you should enable the respective keyboard layouts and switch between them with a keyboard shortcut.
A few interesting layouts bundled with Mac OS X have already been mentioned. Let me add three.
- Dvorak: several layouts based on the Dvorak keyboard. It is claimed that the latter is more productive and lessens RSI risk.
- US Extended: based on QWERTY, it offers a more extensive set of diacritics (eg, caron, breve) via dead keys.
- Unicode Hex Input: also based QWERTY, it allows input by Unicode codepoint (in hexadecimal), so it's the most extensive layout of all; eg, to enter the character "Parenthesized Number Twelve" (U+247F), hold down Option, type "247f", release Option.

OBIEE and Oracle OLAP Value Based Hierarchies

Hi there...
I have a value based dimension built on Oracle OLAP and want to map it on OBIEE Administration tool.
I've been using the above link as reference:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/olap_biee/CreateBIEEMetadata.htm
There's no option to import from Oracle Multi-dimensional Database. Either to import/configure the view created by OLAP as an Unballanced or Ragged Dimension.
I also checked this example, but it uses ESSBASE as the multi-dimensional source....
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2008/08/27/ragged-hierarchy-handling-in-obiee/
How to map this Ragged Dimension created in OLAP workspace in OBIEE? Any suggestions or directions will be highly appreciated...
Thanks in advance
Marcos

Mark and others,
You can create OLAP_TABLE views with level columns on top of value-based hierarchies. BI Beans used to do that too behind the scenes in Discoverer Plus OLAP. If you trace the Discoverer session, where you are querying data from Value-based hierarchies, you will see that it also generates OLAP_TABLE views with level columns in it.
So the question is how to do it. Internally, even for Value-based hierarchies Oracle OLAP keeps track of the "depth" of each value by using a structure called GID_DIMENSION (i.e., Grouping Dimension). Here is an example of a view on top of a value-based hierarchy (CFC_ACCT_GAPP) for RPT_ACCOUNT dimension. You have to know how "deep" your value-based hierarchy is.
Similar kind of a thing is done by OLAP View Generator application, which I never use - since I always prefer to define my own OLAP_TABLE views.
This kind of a view can then be used in the RPD of OBIEE.

Oracle OLAP and Writeback

In reading through the introductory documents and the OLAP Java API and the fact that the article on cell level writeback ( http://oracleolap.blogspot.com/2010/10/cell-level-write-back-via-plsql.html ) in the comments at the end explains that the feature is actually undocumented, I need to ask about writeback.
We are interested in a multi-dimensional solution that will allow top down planners and bottom up planners to create, analyze, publish, and track their plans. This requires writeback capabilities at multiple levels of the various hierarchies.
In looking at the Java API it seems that writeback is not really supported other than through OLAP DML - if it is otherwise supported, I can not find the appropriate API. IT seems to be covered under allocation, unless I am misunderstanding.
It also appears, from another posting in this forum, that AWM does not directly support allocation nor write back, which is fine because we'd probably write our own UI for that. But it does help raise the general writeback question.
In the oracleolap blogspot posting mentioned able, there is a nice article on an undocumented feature that allows for cell level writeback.
So given all this, I am led to wonder if Oracle OLAP really supports writeback as a first class feature or if it really doesn't fit into the overall product offering.
Thanks for any help you can provide
Bob

Full write back capabilities are also available in Escendo Analytics along with a full conversion utility from OFA/OSA to Oracle OLAP and Escendo Analytics.

LOCAL OLAP CACHE AND GLOBAL OLAP CACHE

what is local olap cache and global olap cache...
what is the difference between ....can you explain scenario plz...
will reward with points
thanks in advance

Hello GURU
Local cache is specific to a user, before BW 3.0 it was only local cache available...if a user run the query data will come to cache from infoprovider and next time same query will not go to Data base instead it will fetch data from cache memory...this cache will be used only for that particular user...if some other user try the same query it will not pick up dta from cache.....
BW 3.0 onward we have global cache which means several user can access same cache for the same query or data which is related in cache...
Thanks
