Create Attribute Dimension - Numeric

Hi,
11.1.2.2 - ASO
Have a Customer dimension about 500K leaf level members. Want to create a numeric attribute dimension named 'Cust_ID' and the values would be 1 to 500K or so. I create the dim, manually create two sample leaf level children ( 1 and 2). I keep getting this error:
1: Attribute level 0 member name must match attribute format name setting
I can't figure out where to change this. On base dim or attrib dim. I have never created a numeric attribute dim before.
Thanks

I just forced save and re-opened and then verified and it verified. I knew something weird like that was happening. Looks like a bug.

Create Attribute Dimension by rule file

Hi,
How can we create an attribute dimension and associtae members of sparse dimension with members of attribute dimension by using a rule file?
There is no option of 'Attribute' under dimension type in dimension propertites.
Plz help on it.
Atul K

First you have to create a standard dimension and made the storage setting sparse.
Then, you can create another dimension of type Attribute and associate it with the standard sparse dimension.
Then you can write rule files for attributes.
If you are assigning the attribute dimension MKT_TYPE to the standard dimension MARKET and the generation 4 is the last.
The typical rule file is like this:
Gen4, MARKET MKT_TYPE 4, MARKET
New york Big Market
Washington Small Market

Creating Attribute dimension

Hi All,
I have requirement to build a product dimension where I am thinking to opt for attribute dimension.
I my current outline we have Products
Product manfc
Nike
small
medium
large
Rbk
small
medium
large
Ex large
ETC
Here Sizes small, medium are Level 0.
Now we want Sizes not to be concatenated in the same dimension. So we thought of opting Attribute dimension. Is our approach correct??? Please Advice

As Glenn pointed out, if a product can be more than one size then a single attribute dimension will not work.
But if you are dealing with a small number of sizes then you can get away with making an attribute dimension for each size. Then you can assign any, none or all to each product as you need.
Product (associated attributes: SizeA, SizeB, SizeC, SizeD)
--Nike (attibutes: Small, Medium, Large)
--Rbk (attributes: Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large)
SizeA (attribute)
--Small
SizeB (attribute)
--Medium
SizeC (attribute)
--Large
SizeD (attribute)
--Extra Large

Unable to create attribute dimension in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
As per the process,I am create an Attribute for an dimension as below
Hierarchy
Family(gen1)
SKU(gen2)
Attribute1(gen1)
SKU(gen2)
Attribute2(gen2)
SKU(gen3)
Here the issue i am unable to create an 2nd attribute parallel to first on i mean attributes are not creating as sliblings.
Please advise
Thanks,
SatyaB

I think I understand what you are asking. I think your example is something like
Products
---Colas
-----Coke
-----Diet coke
Bottle (attribute)
---Coke
Can (attribute)
---Diet coke
This is not the way attributes work, you would have a column in your soruce perhaps called container_type that has the relationship
Container_type
Sku
So the rows would look like
Sku----Family-----container_type----other properties
coke...Colas........Bottle............XXXXXX
Diet Code..Colas...Can.............XXXXXXX
This could be in your primary table or a joined table

Create Attribute Dimension via the JAVA api

Does anyone know how to create an attribute dimenions via theJava API ? I can set the dimension type to attribute viasetAttributeDimensionDataType but I don't know how toassociate the attr. dimension with a sparse, normal dimension(which is mandatory). 

Hi Marco, It is in the IEssCubeOutline interface. Here is sample code from the CreateOutline.java sample code that ships with EDS: IEssCubeOutline otl = ... IEssDimension product = otl.findDimension("Product"); otl.associateAttributeDimension(product, caffeinated); Tim

Creating Attribute Dimensions

I have a Cost Center dimension with 10,500 members. I want to quickly tag these cost centers with 2 attributes. 1st is the first 3 characters of the string(8 in total) as company and the 4th position as dept. How can I do this in an automated way since the dimesnion is already large and I dont want to have to tag them individually

Open a new load rule, associate the outline, go to Options|Dimension Build Settings|Dimension Build Settings Tab and set the Cost Center dimension build method to 'level', I bieleve you will need to check Allow Property Changes, then click OK. Go to File|Open Data File, and open your datafile. You may have to change the delimeter option in the load rule depending on how you saved the data file (to get the columns to populate the columns in the load rule editor). Go to View|Dimension Building Fields. Go To Field|Properties|Dimension Building Properties tab, and set the field properties.. The first column will be the Level 0 for Cost Center. The second column will be the attribute. Validate and save the load rule. Open the outline, and click File|Update Outline. Specify the load rule and the data file, then OK. ***verify the outline before saving it, and of course do all of this in a development copy of the database first**.

Duplicate attribute key found when creating a dimension

Good Afternoon,
I created a cube with dimesnions and all is working fine. I created three dimension ZONE,BLOCK and STREET and these are reltated to the FACT table and all is well. But i was thinking since these 3 dimensions are related and coming from the same table, why
not just create one dimension with ZONE as the primary key and the heirarchy as zone>block>streetname. In the DSV i created a named query.
SELECT DISTINCT ZONE, BLOCK, STREET
FROM dbo.MYTABLE
group by zone,block,street
order by zone,block,street
Please see the sample dataset as well, where when i process the DIMENSION fails with an error that the "Duplicate attribute key was found, column name:Zone, value:1). I know zone and also the other two columns when processed are repeated more than once
and hence this, is there a way to get what i want.
ZONE BLOCK STREET
1 0 Chesapeake
1 0 East Market
1 0 East Maryland
1 0 East Washington
1 0 North Capital
1 0 North Delaware
1 0 North Illinois
1 0 North Meridian
1 0 North Penn
1 0 South Delaware
1 0 South Illinois
1 0 South Meridian
1 0 South Penn
1 0 Virginia
1 0 West Georgia
1 0 West Jackson
1 0 West Market
1 0 West Maryland
1 0 West New York
1 0 West Washington
1 100 East Washington
1 100 East Market
1 100 East Maryland
1 100 East New York
1 100 East Ohio
1 100 East Washington
1 100 North Alabama
1 100 North Capitol
Thanks
SV

Thanks Richard and SS. This is what i did.
1) In the DSV i created a new named query, the same one i used.
2) Set Primary Key on Street.
3) Created a dimension STG_ZBS_DIM and while creating the heirarchy , i draged and dropped the fileds in the following order (zone>block>street).
4) Tired to process , but getting the same error, except this time at the street level.
What else i did was changed the primary key back to Zone, went into the attribute relations and set the relation from Zone to Block and then Block to Street, saved and processed and this time i got the error at the block level :-(
Thanks
SV

How to create an attribute dimension in Essbase Studio?

I cannot figure out how to create an attribute dimension using Essbase Studio. The online help states that I need to "Find the Attribute settings grouping in the center" of the member properties dialog box. I suspect that I'm having a problem figuring this out because I don't have the attribute dimension properly defined in the relational data source or in the mini-schema. I've tried creating a table with no key relationship to the other tables and with no logical joins defined, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

so in the 11.1.1 version you would click on the member name in the hierarchy you added to the Essbase model and in the center pane of the general tab should be the attributes settings section.
If I had a dimension called stores wth two groupings unser it region and store_type, I would click on store_type and add the attribute info

Is it possible to create an Attribute Dimension in an ASO Database?

When I create the initial attribute parent and attempt to save the outline, it gives me an error that I need to associate the attribute dimension with the base dimension. So I go to my L0 member, but the associations tab is greyed out. Any ideas if this is possible to create? Thanks!

OK, Are you doing this.
1. create the attribute dimension
2. click on the base dimesnion
3. right click on the DIMENSION NAME and selet edit properties
4. Click on the tab called Attributes. You should see the list of attribute dimensions
5. Once the dimension is associated with the base dimension, you can assign attributes to the members

How to Create a Dimension Table in OBIEE11g

Hello,
Chapter 9, page 221(if pdf) of the Build Repository manual of OBIEE 11g explains following.
Creating Dimensions in Level-Based Hierarchies
After creating a dimension, each dimension can be associated with attributes
(columns) from one or more logical dimension tables and level-based measures from
logical fact tables. After you associate logical columns with a dimension level, the
tables in which these columns exist appear in the Tables tab of the Dimension dialog.
To create a dimension with a level-based hierarchy:
1. In the Business Model and Mapping layer of the Administration Tool, right-click a
business model and select New Object > Logical Dimension > Dimension with
Level-Based Hierarchy.
Note that this option is only available when there is at least one dimension table
that has no dimension associated with it.I am still learning OBIEE, and I can not see the dimension menu item as per point 1 becuse i do not have dimension table associated with it. All I have done at this point is to create logical tables based on few physical tables in physical layer.
How do I create Dimension Tables? using BI Admin tool?
Thanks,R

Hi Rich,
If you are new to Oracle BI, you would better start with the Oracle Learning Library; http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=9830:41:0::NO:RIR:IR_PRODUCT,IR_PRODUCT_SUITE,IR_PRODUCT_COMPONENT,IR_RELEASE,IR_TYPE,IRC_ROWFILTER,IR_FUNCTIONAL_CATEGORY:,BI,,,,,
You create dimensions based on your logical tables. In a plain star-schema you would have one logical fact table and at least one or more logical dimension tabes attached (joined) to the fact table. Just follow the documentation and you would be good to go.
Good Luck,

How to design Flat file for loading attribute dimension in a planning application

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to extract attribute dimensions from an essbase application and load it to another planning application. I have a dimension called Program and two attribute dimensions Sales Manager, Accounts manager associated with Program dimension in Essbase application. I will Extract these dimensions using Essbase outline extractor. After Extracting the attribute dimensions I have to load these dimensions to planning applications using outline load utility. Kindly guide me how to design the flat file for loading attribute dimensions in planning application.
Thanks and Regards
SC

You could dig through the docs and try to figure out the file format manually, or you could do this the easy way. Simply use the Outline Load Utility to export your attribute dimension from Planning. The export file format is the same as the import file format. You might have to manually add a couple of test members to your attribute dimension so that your export file has some content. Then simply update the file you exported, and import it.
(I am assuming you have already manually created the Attribute dimension in Planning, and that you simply need to add members to it.)
Hope this helps,

Maximum number of Attribute dimensions Possible in BSO Cube

hi,
i have two simple queries :
1 - What are the maximum number of Attribute dimensions Possible in a BSO Cube.
2- How many attribute dimension can be associated with one base Dimension.
hope to get reply soon.
thanks in advance.
Regards
Anubhav

No Limits are defined as such:
How many Maximum number of Dimensions can create ?
Even in the Dbag, it says "many":
A base dimension member can have many attributes, but only one attribute from each attribute dimension.Cheers..

Web Analysis data layout does not reflect newly added attribute dimension

Hi,
We newly added one new attribute dimension. If any new report creation in Web Analysis reflect that dimension. However, the reports which are old(created before the addition of new dimension), does not show the newly added dimension.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Meenakshi

Thanks for this.
I have tried assigning the new DB connection. However, still it did not work. Does the data layout displays dimensions according to reports. I mean, can we restrict the visibility of dimension at report level? Please advice.
Thanks,
Meenakshi

ODI Planning Attribute Dimension

I have an existing Product dimension that was created via ODI 10.1.5.6 to Planning 11.1.1.3.03 -- the Product Dim loads fine. Then I attached an attribute dimension called "Product Line" to it using custom attributes. I added four attributes to attach to products. Then re-reversed the Planning application in ODI Planning Model. I can see "Product Line" attribute load dimension (to load new attributes) in the Dimension hierarchy in ODI. However I cannot see a new Column for "Product Line" under the "Product" dimension in ODI. Am I missing something??

So adding the manual dimension seemed like it would work. However it gave me an error as it didn't recognize it when I executed the integration. In any event, deleted the planning model, recreated it and reversed it and the field showed up. Fun stuff! Thanks again.

OWB 10g: Creating a dimension: error on hierarchy

Hi there,
i've created a very simple dimension, alike the channel dimension of the sh-samples.
However, when i validate my dimension, i get the error:
--> VLD-0350: In a hierarchy <name>, level relationship binding between parent level "total" and child level "channel" does not exist.
--> Within a hierary a level relationship between levels must be created using the surrogate key column of the parent.
I've created the dimension now several times but one way or the other this error always pops up. I've recreated the hierarchy, still the problem remains. Anybody has a clue how to create this binding?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Cheers
Sandra

Thanks for the quick reply, I have a Surrogate key on every level.
*** Problem solved ***, but still a mystery... I actually quite OWB
came back and everything was validating correctly...
Do any of you have such a problem? Things not working, exit come back
in an it works???
Here the problems that I had before the restart...
Here's a quick overview of what I have in the Data Object Editor:
Relational Tab:
I have my "source" table were my data is to fill the Dimension. Validates successfully.
Dimensional Tab:
I have my CUSTOMER_DIM, I did the Bind All I have 2 errors now:
VLD-0345 Level Attribute CUSTOMER ID is not bound to a column in
table or updateble view.
VLD-0350: In a hierarchy STANARD, level relationship binding between parent level
COUNTRY_HEIR and child level BASE_HIER does not exist. (Each level attribute must be bound to a column in a table or updateable view)
In the Object Editor, Dimensional Attributes, I have CUSTOMER_ID that is a Surrogate. In the "Choose the sequence that will populate the Dimension and Surrogate Keys:"
I have selected CUSTOMER_DIM_SEQ. (Within a hierarchy a level relationship between levels must be created using the surrogate key column of the parent.)
Thanks
Eric
