Creating hierarchical dimension for products in ATG - Endeca integration

Hi,
I need to generate the hierarchical dimensions till product hierarchy, OOB feature creates the dimension till category hierarchy.
If anyone has worked or have idea on this, please provide the steps to be followed and the sample category-din-output-config.xml to generate hierarchical dimension till products.
Regards,
Sudheer

Are you planning to create articles in ExpManager OR the content will come from some other system and you just want to manage the pages to display the content in Exp Manager?
On a high level:
If it is case #1 you have to integrate ATG & Endeca and write some cartridges for managing the content.
If it is case #2 you have to integrate ATG & Endeca and modify the auto generated pipeline to pull in your content from the other system.

Creating hierarchical dimension for products

I have to customize the hierarchical dimension id generation using property accessor for products. OOB category-dim-output-config.xml includes the definition to generate the hierarchical dimension ids till category, using custom property accessor I'm able to create the dimension ids for categories.
My Endeca application needs the hierarchical dimension ids till product hierarchy, so I have added the following <item /> definition for child product.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This is generating the dimension id for categories only but not for products as I have added "dimval_spec" at category level. I i add the "dimval_spec" property in product item then product record includes two "dimval_spec" property values. Actually a record should have only one "dimval_spec" property and its value.
My queries are "
1) does the definition file I have defined is correct?
1) How can I have only one dimension id property in the definition xml for both category and product, so that each record will contain only one dimension id?
Appreciate the help if any one has worked on this and provide some guidance ... !

Hi,
There is as no thmb rule for it. Generally we try to balance the dimension when we create them. For example, It is not advisable to include Material and Vendor in a single dimension.(otherwise it will lead to dimension explosion...large no. of records in a single dimension.)
The idea of dimension tables is to group associated characteristics to reduce the number of fields in the fact table and to reduce redundancies in storing frequent combinations of
characteristics values in a table. Examples of characteristics typically grouped into one dimension include Customer, Customer Group, and Zip Code grouped into a Customer
dimension, and Material, Material Group, Color grouped into a Material dimension.
A special case of a dimension is the line-item dimension, which is used for characteristics with a very high cardinality. Atypical example is the document number in a lineitem-
level InfoCube.

Creating Hierarchical Dimensions - OEID 3.0

Does anyone have an example of a graph that can be used to create hierarchical dimensions? For example, if I want to create an organizational structure like this:
Organizational Unit 1..N
Organizational Division 1..N
Organizational Department 1..N
Organizational Section 1..N
Employee A
Employee B
Where each layer is it's own attribute field in the data set:
Tier1,Tier2,Tier3,Tier4,Tier5
Organizational Unit 1,Organizational Division 1,Organizational Department 1,Organizational Section 1,Employee A
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your response. I did try and follow the Load Managed Values graph as shown in the Integrator User's Guide, however it seemed to create a multi-valued Component attribute instead of a tiered structure as shown above. That's why I wanted to know if there were any other examples around that creates the tiered structure as I've seen it mentioned theoretically in the guides but never implemented.
Thanks!

Bins problem while creating goods receipt for production order.

Hi All,
          I am facing a problem with selection of bins while creating goods receipt for production order in transaction MB31 and MBBE.
The order of filling bins is with respect to storage Unit not by document no, Please suggest something.
The scene is like that.
The bins are not filled in the proper sequence, the system checks for the empty bins and filled those later on.
like this,.

How to create index for articles&products in ATG+Endeca application?

Hi.

Best approach to creating a TOC for product catalog using data merge

What is the best approach for creating a TOC for a product catalog (over 1,000 items) using Data Merge?
The TOC would contain the product Categories.
So for example, Category A items could go from pages 1 - 3, and Category B items would start at pg 4, but if new items were added to Category A, then Category B may start from pg 6.
From the Data Source, there are 5 Data Fields I've chosen to be displayed. If this were a regular digital print document, I could use the Paragraph Style method for creating a TOC, but if I make any one of the Data Fields a certain Paragraph Style and use that for the TOC, it'll populate the TOC with that Data Field for all the items.
Any suggestions?

Peter Spier wrote:
TOC is not interactive in the ID file, though it can be in a PDF that you export (there's a checkbox to create PDF bookmarks). You might want to think about using Cross-references (rather than hyperlinks, I think) to build the TOC. You have to do it manually, but once done it should maintain itself, whereas a TOC is built automatically, but must be regenerated after you edit the doc.
One caveat witih TOCs created from cross-references: Although changing the text of an x-ref source paragraph (for example from "Patatas and tamatas" to "Tomatoes and Potatoes,"and/or when the source paragraph flows to the next or previous page) update automatically or when invoking "Update cross-references," MOVING a cross-reference source paragraph to a location before or after another source paragraph, does not change their sequence in the pseudo-TOC. You'll need to manually move the reference in the pseudo-TOC to the correct position in the sequence of cross-refs. So, put the task of checking the order of x-refs in the pseudo-TOC on your before hand-off check list.

Basis for creating the dimension for the cube

Dear All,
I have one basic query.
We can build the ODS and pull data from source system to BW system. But now if i am suppose to build the Cube for my reporting then how do i make decision to build dimension for the cube?
I mean what are the parameters which we need to consider before we build the dimension for the cube and what type of objects will be there in each dimension??
Appreciate your help on this.

Preview issue in ATG-Endeca integration case of CRS at Endeca side

I'm using ATG 10.1.2 and Endeca with Experiece Manager 3.1.1, both are the most current version coming out at the begining of this new year 2013.
I followed the documents and deployed the Commerce Reference Store (Known as CRS) with option of Endeca integration. Now everything seemed to be ok, and at Endeca side, we could find deployed application of "CRS", and also we could find pages configured in Experience Manager.
But problems come unexpectly. I just configured the preview fuction for both ATG and Endeca. According to CIM, I believe I've configured them correctly, because I got the result that Preview function acts normal at ATG side with BCC. However, once I try to use preview function at Endeca side, firstly a new browser pops up to show the page of CRS, and then a message pops up said: "Error: Your site is not cofigured for Preview correctly. Please contact your administrator."
Why?
And what is the place of log file concerned with this issue could I refer to?

Solved!!
After indicated "ATGProduction" for ear file name to assemble, I entered the menu below:
[D] Deploy Production with a Server Lock Manager ATGProduction.ear to

[R] Register Datasources on Weblogic Online - Done
[A] Add database driver to app server classpath - Done
[P] Post Deployment Actions on Weblogic Online - Done
[E] Edit runAssembler arguments
*[O] Configure Another Server Instance
> e
Choose e, means that to Edit runAssembler arguments, which I believe is the key point to access the layer setting for EndecaPreview.
Then the menu shows as below:
-------APPLICATION ASSEMBLY OPTIONS---------------------------------------------
enter [h]elp, [m]ain menu, [q]uit to exit
Choose Application Assembly Options: (* = Currently selected )

[D] Done
Select zero or more > 17
At here, we choose -layer to config, and do process as below:
-------APPLICATION ASSEMBLY OPTION VALUES---------------------------------------
enter [h]elp, [m]ain menu, [q]uit to exit
Enter values for -layer (separated by space) : > EndecaPreview
After all configuration above and ear file redeployed to middleware, I now can access Preview function at Endeca Side !!

Inspection lot not created on GR for production order

I want to create an inspection lot upon receipt from production. Task list is set up. Inspection type 04 is assigned in material master. But when I do the goods receipt for a production order, inspection lot is not created. In the quantity tab of material document, I see that the staus GR doc is 7(Inspection lot is created at inbound delivery). I don't know where it is coming from.
Please help.

I'm not sure what you mean by creating lot after receiving.
When you do a GR from production the proper inspection type is the 04 inspection type. Not 05. This is pretty standard SAP functionality.
Check the material movements for 101 (I assume you're using a 101 GR material movement), and make sure in config no one has deactivated QM for the material movement.
Then, make sure you start with a freash production order. Don't copy from a previous one.

How to create custom adapter for Products and CommerceService

Hi guys!
First of all I wanted to say that I did search. Only relevant material I found was this http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/ecommerce/eCommerce-framework.html
Unfortunately it doesn't go in details enough...
I'm trying to follow geometrixx-outdoors example to create my shoppingCart. I have a list of of products in /etc/commerce/products.... referenced by productPage in content.
But I don't know how to create custom CommerceProvider and Adapter to create proper Product objects - it always picks up geoProductImpl.
As I understand I need to specify cq:commerceProvider to myProvider and then I need to somehow register MyProvider so it gets picked up.
Also I guess I need to add MyProductAdapter somehow so when shoppingCart executes following it returns my implementation instead of geoProductImpl.
Product product = productResource.adaptTo(Product.class);
I'd really appreciate if anyone could share an example or point me in the right direction for a guide.
Cheers
Kostya

Creating scenario dimension and loading data

Hi all,
We have two fact tables. The first one is sales that include quantity and subtotal columns. The other one is budget that include quantity and subtotal. We are working with hyperion essbase 9.3. First of all we are creating two model. For sales model we create 7 dimensions (product, chanell, time, company, currency, customer, account) and 3 attribute dimension and for budget model we create 4 dimensions (account,company,customer,product) in metaoutline. And we create 2 application for each metaoutline. We plan to report sales vs budget but we don't know how to join sales and budget data. Everybody recommends scenario dimension. we don't know how to create sceneraio dimension and in which application Essbase integration or Essbase administration services.
thank you.

I agree with Cameron. The best way is to put them into one cube. Since you are using a SQL source you can manulate it to have your budget load to the same time level as your actuals. For example suppose you load actuals daily and Budget is Monthly. for consistancy, you could load the budget data into the 15th day of the month. At the Monthly level where you would compare budget to actual, the numbers will be correct. Loading into dummy members for the dimensions that don't exist for budget is a common practice when trying to sync up data. If you really want to make it easy, you could union a view to make it look like you have a single fact table (based on the combo of budget and actual) and have a single metadata outline to load everything. I prefer having two because of different load requirements, but this is an option.
If you don't want to go this way, the next option is to partition your budget data into the actuals cube. this would keep them seperate but allow you to see them togeter. Between the two option, I prefer the single cube approach better

How ATG,Endeca,Webcenter sites are integrated in eCommerce?

Hi all,I just began studying ATG,and have not known it very much. My company use oracle's products like ATG,Endeca,webcenter sites.But I don't understand:
1.how they are integrated togethor.
2.What is their respective role in the whole eCommerce development?
3.how they collaborate with each other ?
I will very appreciate if you can solve my confusion.
sorry about my poor english.

Hi Sarah
What verison of ATG is your company using?

For example prior to ATG 10.1.1 there was no product integration between ATG/Endeca it would have been a custom integration.
