Confirming Dimension problem

Hi All,
Please provide a solution if anyone has encountered this problem.
I have two facts Fact 1, Fact 2 joined by confirming dimensions D1, D2,D3, D4 .
According to my requirement I have to display in the report
concat ( D1, D2) as column1 , F1.M1, F2.M2 with the condition that when D1>D2 then show Concat(D1,D2) as column1 else show concat(D2,D1) as column1. Please see the example to understand the req
D1 D2 column1 F1.M1 F2.M2
A B AB 10 20
B A AB 15 15
The output in the report should be
Column1 F1.M1 F2.M2
AB 25 35.
But In Answers it is not displaying corectly as in the query generated it is doing a group by at the D1, D2 rather column 1.
When I create the column in RPD it violates the confirming dimnesion and F2.M2 does not display anything.
Is there any other way that we can configure this problem.
Thanks,
Bhavik

Hi,
try this in answers:
column1 = case when D1>D2 then Concat(D1,D2) else Concat(D2,D1) end
fact1 = sum(F1.M1 by (case when D1>D2 then Concat(D1,D2) else Concat(D2,D1) end))
fact2 = sum(F2.M2 by (case when D1>D2 then Concat(D1,D2) else Concat(D2,D1) end))
See if it works...
Or use pivor table there it will sum by column1 by default
Hope it helps...
If youy find this usefull, please be free to award points.

OBIEE 11g 11.1.1.7 NON Confirmed dimensions and facts

Hi All,
In OBIEE 10g if we had non-conformed dimensions we used to work with by defining logical level of the conformed dimensions to grand total and confirmed dimensions to detail in the LTS of the fact table
and also set metrics to grand total level.
But in OBIEE 11g doing same is throwing error
[nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail
How do we achieve this?
Regards,
deep

You need to create a complex join with non conformed dimension and the fact with 1=1 and set the logical level of the measure to total for a non conformed dimension.

Working with Confirmed and Non Confirmed Dimensions

The actual need for my situation is I have two facts F1 and F2 and Four Dimensions D1, D2, D3, D4
D1 is a confirmed Dimension
D2, D3 are joined to F1 and D4 to F2 according to the star schema . I need a report which has D1, D2, D3, D4 , F1. Is this possible ?
Method applied : I added a new logical table source to F1 and pointed it to F2. I pulled in all the required dimensions and created a new logical folder with F1, D1,D2,D3,d4 . I created a logical join from D4 to F1 in BMM layer . The rest of dimensions are already connected to F1.
Now when i run the report the i get null values when i pull in D4 and F1 which is logically correct but when i try to run the report D1,D2,D3,D4,F1 it returns an error ? Should i need to include even F2 in my report ?

I actually have an out of box RPD which has defined hierarchies only for certain dimensions. Is it a good practice to define hierarchies for all the dimensions ?
can't we establish the report D1,D2,D3,D4,F1 without the hierarchies ?
For the present RPD we have hierarchy defined only for D3 . Reports running on the present subject areas are working perfectly fine even without the hierarchies. Only when i am trying to span across different subject areas i get errors.
Could you throw more light on the difference it would make if i defined hierarchies for all the dimensions.

Confirm dimension issue

HI,
I have D1,D2,D3 dimension tables and F1,F2 fact table. D1 is connected to F1,F2 and D2 is also connected to F1,F2. so here D1,D2 are confirm Dimensions . D3 is connected to Only F1. If i am trying to generate a report based on D1,D2,D3. I cold not able to get results. Can any one help me out. how to get proper results.

3 confirmed Dimensions and 2 fact tables

Hi experts,
how can we connect 3 confirmed Dimensions and 2 fact tables without loops and traps please give me a solution

Hi,
Dimensions Tables : Dimension tables are typically small, ranging from a few to several thousand rows. Occasionally dimensions can grow fairly large, however. For example, a large credit card company could have a customer dimension with millions of rows. Dimension table structure is typically very lean, for example customer dimension could look like following:
    Customer_key
    Customer_full_name
    Customer_city
    Customer_state
    Customer_country
Fact Tables :a fact table consists of the measurements, metrics or facts of a business process. It is often located at the centre of a star schema or a snowflake schema, surrounded by dimension tables.
Fact tables contain keys to dimension tables as well as measurable facts that data analysts would want to examine. For example, a store selling automotive parts might have a fact table recording a sale of each item. The fact table of an educational entity could track credit hours awarded to students. A bakery could have a fact table that records manufacturing of various baked goods.

Add a dimension - Problems with journal

Hi,
We need to add to a dimension to an existing application that has journal defined.
We have done the following steps:
1) We add and assign the new dimension to the application succesfully.
2) We try to create within the journal wizard, the new journal template adding the new dimension and we receive the following error "The system cannot create journal template".
We wanted to know, if is posible to generate manually the template or what is the best practice to add a new dimension in an application that has journals.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Juan

Hi,
try one of these:
Solution1:
This error will occur if the query files folder is missing from each of the
problem applications. To resolve, simply copy the query file folder or
create one under each application and run through the journal wizard again.
Solution 2:
Reason:That issue may arise if native Excel is configured to open less than three
sheets by default on the client machine used to build the template.
Solution:
You can modify the Excel settings:
- In Excel 2003, select Tools, Options and click General in the Options
dialog box. Then change the setting for "Sheets in new workbook".
- In Excel 2007, click on the Office button and then on the Excel Options
button. In the Popular tab, "When creating new workbooks", please change
the "Include this many sheets" setting.
If it is different than 3, please set it back to 3 and test to build your
journal template again.
Solution 3:
Reason:The journal template couldn`t be created if the application
have more than 7 dimensions which are set for secure.
Soln: recommend setting dimension for secure as less than 7.
thnks.

PDF dimensions problem

Hi
I have a problem when i create a PDF file from a .png picture. The dimensions changes for some reason. I've made the background transparent. I'm using Xara Xtreme Pro 5 for the design. When i create a picture and export it as a .png file, it holds it's true size. However when i upload it to adobe for an online conversion it changes!?
Any help will be highly appreciated..
Thnaks
Best Regards

Good day,
Could you describe how the document changes once it's in the PDF format? Are you sure it's changing the size? PDF files created by our CreatePDF service default to the view of 'Fit Width', which often ties gives them the appearance of increasing in size, when it's simply a zoom issue within Adobe Reader.
Kind regards,
David

Smart objects from Illustrator and Indesign dimensions problem

I have been trying to find an answer to this problem for 6 months now and surprised no one else has tried to find any answers.
When we import something from illustrator or indesign as a smart object, for some reason the objects width and height will not keep their dimensions in proportion.
When the asset is first imported as a smart object it says the width and height are exactly 100%. However after that if you try to change the dimensions they will be out of proportion, usually the width will be 100% but the height will be out by about 1% to begin with. When you scale up, the percentages fall further and further apart. See image attached.
This has become a real problem for our workflow as the creative director insists we must correct every layer which has this issue by typing in the sizes manually, but then this doesnt always fix the problem either depending on which version of photoshop you are using.
Why does this happen, and how can we fix it for good?
Thanks, Chris.

I do not have the answer for I don't have illustrator and indesign. I do have Photoshop and have notice that it try to match resolutions and maintain sizes but it may also scale placed object etc. There are some some Photoshop preferences setting that can effect some operations. Photoshop also has support for non square pixels.
Make some test if illustrator and indesign have setting for pixel aspect ratio and DPI resolution. Make sure all documents have the same pixel aspect ratio and same DPI resolution and that the vector object to be imported are not larger then the Photoshop document their being imported to.
Thanks for the suggestions, but none of these would be the answer. Illustrator is Vector so it does not use DPI / Pixel aspect ratios etc.

Image dimensions problem

Hi all,
All I really want for Christmas is a fix for this problem (in reality, a small issue, but one that is making me seriously consider returning to the dark side...)
Because I use several different systems, all my files are stored on NAS drives (and backed up onto other NAS drives). My primary device is a LaCie 1Tb 2big Drive running RAID1. I've noticed a problem though; the finder window doesn't return image dimensions for these files - or files stored on the backup NAS drive or even the media drive (also another NAS drive). If I copy them to the local drive, immediately I see image dimensions. My default View is by Columns, but any view profile fails to show image dimensions. I've also checked that none of the network drives are within Spotlight's privacy area, but they are not.
I've just spent 30minutes on the phone to Apple Care and they can't come up with a solution, so I'm opening it up to the wider community. If it needs 3rd party software to make this work, that's fine! I'm getting desperate now as it's slowing my productivity right down. I'm also struggling to understand how even Win XP can manage this just fine, but OS X trips up?
Anyone?
Cheers,
andy

I forgot to mention one other problem
The layout that I sketched up is the one I am going for. So a tip on how to get the text and the headings to flow around the image like shown in the picture would be greatly appreciated. Is it recommended to use tables inside div tags or spry for that matter?
Thanks a million.

Create Dimension Problem

Hi Friends: i am a student and doing project on warehousing. i have problem in creating dimension.
the problem is
i have the follwing attributes of a dimension.
id
first name
last name
DOB
ph#
temp address
perm address
father name etc
so my question is
what are the levels of my dimension?
what are the level attributes?
at level attribute dialogue box it show a id attribute i think that is uinque but i want to ask whts the purpose of this id. lets i have a column src_id in my source table
should i map this column with this attribute or should i crate a new column targ_id and map source column with this targ clmn. if i do this maping so whats the purpose of uk id. what should do with it/
what are the hierarchy of this dim?
what are the hierarchy levels .
please help me. i could get from documentation. i shall be thankfull to you for this kind.
source table target dim
id uk_id(uk)
name dim_id(created myself)
should i map id with uk_id or dim_id if i map with dim_id so whts the purpose of uk_id. what will happen, whats the role of this uk_id.

You are getting duplicate names. YOu need to prefix or suffix (or sql concatinate) to make the members unique. in the record 1 example you might want the outpout to look like
Product line 1 Group 2 subgroup 3 Product family 10 product 10 sku 171
Of course I used full names to make it undersatandable, some would use one, two or three letter abrevaitions.

Freezing Aluminum iMac - Apple Genius Bar Confirms Hardware Problems

Good morning to all my fellow sad iMac users,
I wanted to post a message to let you all know that I just returned from the Apple Store genius bar, and that they confirmed to me that it was a faulty graphics card.
It was a very pleasant trip to the genius bar that I wish I didn't have to make, as I just don't have that kind of free time. In all, it only took about 15 minutes of the genius trying to recreate the screen artifacts followed by the inevitable frozen state. Once the genius saw the failure, they consulted their knowledge base and told me the video card needed to be replace. I was told that the ATI 2600 HD cards were not in stock, and that it had to be ordered, but that I would be able to pick my system up within 5 business days.
I am still skeptical about the diagnosis, although I have always known it was hardware and not software. I am skeptical due to the good reviews the ATI Mobility 2600 has received in the PC world. However, I am very happy that someone is finally owning up to the fact that 'something' is wrong with the hardware.
I will post again in 5 days to let you all know if the problem was fixed with the new graphics card. And I definitely urge you all to take your iMacs to your local Apple Store (if you have access to one)!
Regards,
Soon to be happy iMac owner (fingers crossed)...

After 3 times on the phone with Applecare and 2.5-3 hours gone, I'm going to see a technician 1/2 hour away. Each rep I asked if they have heard of the "freezing iMac issue" and they said "yes". The second phone call the lady said the previous person didn't document what we had done, even though i had case number, and we had to start over. Well we didn't start over, I explained what we did before. She had me create new account - still could hang it in 5 min or less - then she had me try to reinstall OS. When machine reboots on Leopard DVD I selected English, then the Disk. Then I asked "where is the 'archive' option?" She says, "it is in the sequence somewhere look around" (paraphrase), I was beyond it and hit "install" thinking next step would confirm install options. Luckily it is set to archive users by default, but it about gave me a heart attack. I told her what was happening, that I thought my data may be destroyed, and her response was "good luck". I had to hang up. I should have asked for her supervisor.
Next person was knowledgeable and reasonable. He reassured me data would be there as the default setting was to archive - thank God. I also had set up time machine previously so I was sort-of sure I had data somewhere. Still very uneasy feeling. I got data back and iMac hung 5 minutes or less after startup. Now I have to go to technician. I asked the last guy "what are chances of swapping for a new machine and admitting this thing is hosed?" He explained that it won't work this way as I was out of the return/refund time of 15 days. I explain that this is leaving a real bad impression and that I felt poked in the eye because I waited patiently for Apple's promised update, burning the return time. That was a bad gamble.
We all learn from this stuff. I'm lucky enough to have several macs, so I can keep going, what happens to guy with one mac? Turn around time at apple store is 5 days - from technician, could be couple weeks. Ouch. I'm 3.5hours from Apple store.

Confirmation Dialog Problem

Hello!
I am facing a peculiar problem in the production system where in the confirmation dialog isn't working and the NullPointerException is getting thrown. For some reason the production server isnt getting the handle for the event even though they are defined and the same piece of code is working fine in both Dev & QA.
Could someone look into the code and let me know what I can do to make it work.
    try
          String dialogTxt =     "Are you sure you want to ignore changes? ";
          IWDEventHandlerInfo eventIgnore               =     wdControllerAPI.getViewInfo().getViewController().findInEventHandlers("evtIgnoreChanges");
          IWDConfirmationDialog dialog               =     wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createConfirmationWindow(dialogTxt,eventIgnore,"Yes");
          IWDEventHandlerInfo eventIgnoreCancel     =     wdControllerAPI.getViewInfo().getViewController().findInEventHandlers("evtIgnoreCancel");
          dialog.addChoice(eventIgnoreCancel,"No");
          dialog.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);
          dialog.setWindowSize(250,50);
          dialog.open();
    }catch(Exception ex)
         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error ignoring changes",true);
         ex.printStackTrace();
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Vikram

Hi,
Use this code:
IWDControllerInfo controllerInfo =
        wdControllerAPI.getViewInfo().getViewController();
      String dialogText = "Are you sure you want to ignore changes?";
      IWDConfirmationDialog dialog =
        wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createConfirmationWindow(
          dialogText,
          controllerInfo.findInEventHandlers("evtIgnoreChanges"),
          "Yes");
      dialog.addChoice(
        controllerInfo.findInEventHandlers("evtIgnoreCancel"), "No");
      dialog.open();
check if you have created events with name evtIgnoreChanges & evtIgnoreCancel in your view controller.

When does Apple confirm their problem with the firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods???

I'm really frunstrated about the unwillingness from apple support to address/confirm the issue around firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods.
I spent hours to talk to support and explain varios tests I did on that subjetct, but apple keeps saying: It's not our problem!
Shame on apple! I really thaught apple is different, but it turns out, that between shareholder value und marketing campaines there's no space for customer care....
Did somone suffering with the same issue (video freezes after 30 sec and continues without sound) got any better answer from apple?
What information does apple need to confirm it's apple's problem?

PowerBook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have bought my 30GB iPod Video just 3days ago, and it tried to upgrade the ipod updater to 1.1.
I have updated my ipod without a problem. And I had also updated to latest version of iTunes.
Itunes had given error few times and closed itself while optimizing photos before transfering them to ipod. I have sorted out that it was due to my photo folder being over 2GB's, than started importing them in smaller portions by adding a new folder each time. Afterwords, photos and pictures copied to iPod without problems.(but i have to add, i have received a nonsense error like 'itunes cant write to folder or something)
After a bit of dazzling and struggling i was able to play videos and music as well. But after few seconds iPod screen frozen and i wasnt able to do anything. I have reboot it, and tried to change songs, and after few songs, the screen frozen again, wheel was not functioning but funny part, music was still playing. I got online and checked the forums and seen other people having those problems after upgrading to new firmware. I have uninstalled the 1.1 firmware and installed the one on CD, and I have also downgraded my version of iTunes as well. Now things seems to work all fine.
I just don't get why apple withdraws this buggy problametic version of firmware, they will drive more users go mad and not every computer/iPod user would figure out why it happened themselves...
One more thing I have to add. Why I am also having hard to understand why each version of iTunes started consuming unbelievedable amount of RAM on computer. I have 1.4Mhz centrino with 512 RAM, and the sound distorts(slows down) over iTunes when start copying files from DVD. Or it cause errors and shutdowns 'on optimizing photos' stage on iTunes when i try to copy photos to my iPod. I don't think 1.4Mhz and 512mb ram shall be called as low resource simply to use iTunes. They really need to retest, debug and optimize their software. And immediately, remove that 1.1 firmware from apple.com until they resolve the bugs and error inside it.
