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.

How to create Dimension group in ATG-endeca ecommerce application

We have requirement where we have to specify dimensions and their schema from BCC in ATG. Now the problem is we want to dimension groups and we don't see anywhere in documents to create it. Since this dimensions are created through FCM so we are not able to see in /config/pipeline directory but we see only in processing directory. So we don't see any means to create dimension group through dev studio too. Please tell us how we can do it.

we have to do it through EP interface through BP TMS.
1. connect EP to SAP system
2. Configure all the iviews of TMS business package so it can communicate with SAP system (change only SAP system name for all iviews)
3. Assign the roles to user of EP
4. run application using TMS

You need to have a Database Link between two servers. Then you could do execute that statement without any problem. Try to create a database link with the help of
CREATE DATABASE LINK command. Refer Document for further details

Would trying to manually load NSS Internal PKSS #11 Module create a problem or would nothing happen without a filename in the load window under Security Devices?

Would clicking the load button while NSS Internal PKSS #11 Module is selected and accepting the pop-up window without filling in any more information create a problem for the Firefox 8 program?

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

I would like to upgrade to the next step, but because I have many problems with the version 10.4.11, I'm worried that upgrading would create more problems.

Due to a misunderstanding with [email protected] in September of 2010, many of my applications and important files were put into the trash during a cleaning. The trash hadn't been deleted, so a CleanApp rep told me to drag my important files to a folder on my desktop. They were unable to help me with anymore advice with the exception that if I followed the pathway of the application, I could manually restore it to its proper location.
This was asking a lot of me because I didn't have the experience or knowledge of undertaking such a massive restoration. However, I did the best I could. What had been put in the trash was not just a few files -- there were hundreds of files or apps that I discovered in the trash. As I said, this was a misunderstanding. I was left feeling devastated at what had happened.
Since then, my iMac Intel Core Duo has been running on its last legs. I'm surprised I can even get to my email. As far as using the software that I bought with my iMac, I can't. I just do the basics.
What I have been wanting to do is to upgrade to the next level. However, I worry that if I upgrade a crippled OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, I would be creating more problems than what I already have. Do you agree that an upgrade would make matters worse?

It won't necessarily make it worse, but may not make it better. I am not familiar with the utility you usedm though anything that cleans or maintains your Mac should be avoided unless you know what you are doing and what it does. Probably re-installing software from the official sources (download or CDs) is the best way to ensure missing parts are all replaced.
If this is a core duo and not a core 2 duo then the highest you can go is Snow Leopard 10.6 Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

Does it create a problem if I only connect the backup external drive every few days for use with Time Machine? Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

After a near miss with my 4-year old MacBook, I finally wised up and purchased a WD My Passport for Mac to back up my hard drive. I connected the Passport today and have performed the first full backup. However, I do not wish to keep it permanently connected to the laptop. Does this create a problem if I only connect the drive every few days? Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

Hello,
I don't think it'll cause a problem, but I'd disable/turn off Time Machine before disconnecting, then turn it back on after you connect it again.

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
Cheers.

You canot easily change your country settings. The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

Fetching materials on basis of Division creating perfomance problem

Hi Experts,
i am fetching Data from three table like
select a~matnr a~extwg
b~charg b~werks b~clabs b~cspem b~cinsm
c~vfdat
from mara as a join mchb as b
on a~matnr = b~matnr join mch1 as c on b~matnr = c~matnr and b~charg = c~charg
into table itab_main
where a~spart = p_spart and b~werks = p_werks
and b~lgort = 'FG01' .
it is creating perfomance problem
so my questin is 'is there any index table for mara ?(like vrpma for vbak)'
so we can get all the material on base of division fast.
Regards,
Alpesh
Edited by: Alpesh on Jun 2, 2009 3:56 PM

Hi Alpesh,
How about throwing MARC into the mix. I notice that you are searching with plant, storage location and division. Table MARC has an index on plant named WRK.
If you join MARA and MARC to first determine all the materials that qualify for the given plant and division combination, you can access table MCHB with material (MARA-MATNR), plant (MARC-WERKS) and storage location (FG01) i.e. the first 4 fields in the primary key of table MCHB.
I could not test this theory out because in our system we do not have any data in table MCHB. Your select executes quickly on my system.
Please let me know how this panned out.

Is it possible to create dimension roles in AWM?

Hi,
Is it possible to create dimension roles in AWM like the way we have in OWB ?
If yes, please direct on the way to do this.
Many thanks in advance for your kind inputs.
Piyush

I think what you need is to use the ALIAS option that is part of the DEFINE DIMENSION statement
DEFINE DIMENSION ALIASOF
The DEFINE DIMENSION ALIASOF command defines a dimension alias for a simple dimension. An alias dimension has the same type and values as its base dimension. Typically, you define an alias dimension when you want to dimension a variable by the same dimension twice.
Additionally, You can use a LIMIT statement to limit alias dimensions and define variables and relations using an alias dimension. However, you cannot maintain an alias dimension directly; instead you maintain its base dimension using MAINTAIN.
Syntax
DEFINE name DIMENSION ALIASOF dimension [TEMP] [AW workspace] [SESSION]
Arguments
name
The name of the object you are defining. For general information about this argument, see the main entry for the DEFINE command.
DIMENSION ALIASOF
If you look at this example if provides a great example of how to use this feature:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/olap.102/b14346/dml_x_decimal006.htm#ABC1485326
But of course the main issue here is how to generate the standard form metadata required to support this feature and make the dimension alias avaliable and visible within AWM. That is the difficult (and I would say impossible) part of the process since this feature is not supported by the AW XML API (at least I don't think it is, you could check the API docs to see if this is supported). if it is not supported then the management of this feature would all have to be controlled via OLAP DML commands (load dimension members etc) but you would still not be able to include it within a cube definition and then maintain that cube using AW XML API.
Does that help?

Unable to create dimensions in schemas that use synonyms

I have three schemas (s1, s2 and s3) that use synonyms to reference different tables. S1 and S2 have all tables, equally distributed in their schema. S3 is an end user who has just synonyms.
I tried creating dimensions in any of them, table or view not found error is encountered.
I created required tables in my schema (user: meka) and I was successfully able to create dimensions. The following command worked in "meka", not any of the three schemas (s1, s2 and s3).
CREATE DIMENSION country
     level city_id is lu_city.CITY_ID
          level state_id is lu_state.STATE_ID
          level country_id is lu_country.COUNTRY_ID
hierarchy country_hier (
city_id CHILD OF
state_id CHILD OF
country_id
JOIN KEY lu_city.STATE_ID references state_id
JOIN KEY lu_state.COUNTRY_ID references country_id
ATTRIBUTE city_id DETERMINES (lu_city.CITY_NAME)
ATTRIBUTE state_id DETERMINES (lu_state.STATE_NAME)
I tried a few combinations, including specifying fully qualified table names (s1.lu_city.city_id, etc); created views at user S3 tried the same. All of them were unsuccessful. I am using Oracle 11g R2, here is screen shot:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production

Q: How can I create a dimension in a schema where tables do not exist. They exist in another schema.

Unable to create dimension in Analytic Workspace manager

Hi all,
I am trying to create dimension using Analytic Workspace Manager(AWM) and it throws the following error.
*"The transaction is not committable: "java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Missing XML attribute: Attribute for tag: <Metadata><StandardDimension><Organization><AWPrimaryDimensionOrganization><AttributeOrganization>"*
Kindly share your comments.
I am using Oracle 11g r1 client to connect with oracle 11g R2 database.

It sounds like a mismatch between an old version of AWM and a new version of the server. Please try a more recent version of AWM.

BI Administration Tool - Create Dimension automatically

I installed Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One Release 10.1.3.2.1 and I'm following "Business Intelligence Standard Edition One Tutorial" ( [Tutorial - section 4.3.5|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10352_01/doc/bi.1013/e10312/repository.htm#CBAHDGAA] )
I would set up a dimension automatically from a logical dimension table by means of "BI Administration Tool 10.1.3.2.1". So I follow the steps of this tutorial and even the Administration Guide ([section "Creating Dimensions Automatically" pg 134|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31770.pdf]) :
Particularly:
1)In the Administration Tool, I opened a repository.
2)In the Business Model and Mapping layer of a repository, right-click a logical table.
3)From the right-click menu, I should find and choose Create Dimension.
but on the right-click menu I can't see Create Dimension.
Could you please suggest me the reason?
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Marco
Edited by: user1005030 on 21-ago-2011 3.18

Marco,
You will not see the option for "Create Dimension" when right-clicking a logical table in the BMM Layer if that logical table is:
1. Already being used as a dimension (icon with 3 prongs)
2. Not joined correctly with the Business Model (i.e. Either not joined at all or it is joined as a Fact table and is not acting like a dimension table to the Admin Tool)
My hunch believes that you have already associated the logical table with a dimension/hierarchy. To run a litmus test, just delete all of the dimensions you have created for the Business Model, then right-click the logical table in question. If you see the "Create Dimension" option then you know what the issue is.
Let me know if that helps.

Create Dimension in 9i/10g

Hi all.. Happy New Year 2005.
Is there a possibility that I can create dimension using normal view or materialized view.
OEM (both 9i and 10g) only provides the table names in the drop down.
If I can create how can I?
thanks in advance.
Saumen

I just tried this in 10g 10.1.0.3 with all the latest patches. Looks like OEM can use tables or MVs, but NOT views.
Maybe you could build a temp table that looks exactly like the view and use that to get the generated SQL to build the dimension, then do a find and replace to change the table name to a view name?
Let us know if that works!
Thx,
Scott
