Dimension ID and SID ID

Hi,
Can U let me know where exactly the dimension id(s) and SID(s) are stored in the BW star schema
Thanks

Hi,
DIM ids will store in Dimension table and SID's will store in Masterdata table.
Fact table is linked to Dimensional table and Dimensional table is further linked to SID table, and SID table further linked to 3 table's i.e. Attribute,Text and Heirarchies.
So, Dim ids create link between Fact table and Dimension table, SID's will link Dimansional table and SID table, and Character Id will link Attribute,Text and Heirarchy tables with SID table.
All this is Primary Forgin key relation
You can see SID's and DIM id's in SE11 tcode.

It may help you.

Line item dimension wont insert sid values in infoobject sid table

Hi all,
I have a strange problem, whenever I load data into a cube which has a line item dimension on 0customer without first loading the master data I am getting inconsistency in RSRV saying that no corresponding DIMid exists in sid table.
So there are Dimids in the fact table but the dimension table, which is same as the sid table in the the case of line item dimension, doesnt have them.
Can someone explain me why is this happening? I thought if a characteristic value doesnt exist in the master data but comes in through the transaction data it inserts the same in the sid table.
Is there a different rule for line item dimensions? Can someone point me to some OSS or documentation?
thanks

Thanks all..
To clear up a few questions:
1. What I mean by <i>"So there are Dimids in the fact table but the dimension table, which is same as the sid table in the the case of line item dimension, doesnt have them"</i> is:
the line item dimension table /bic/D<cubename>9 which is really a view on the sid table for characteristic /bic/s<ch. name> does have all the sid values (or all the dim values) as the fact table.
So fact table has more entries for that dimension than the sid table.
2. Yes we are facing reporting errors where we cannot drill down by that infoobject and LISTCUBE doesnt show us any cube data when that characteristic is chosen for display.
3. I have checked notes where it seems to be a RSRV bug but in our case it doesnt seem to be as observed in the actual table mentioned in #1
Now it is apparent that I am right both from help.sap.com link and what I am observing that for line item dimensions master data HAS TO BE LOADED FIRST for the characteristics used as a line item.

Regarding Dimension Table and Fact table

Hello,
I am having basic doubts regarding the star schema.
Let me explain first regarding star schema.
Fact table containes Key fiigures and Dim IDs,Ok,
These DIm ids will be connected to my dimension tables.The Dimension table contains Characterstics and these Dim ids ,Ok.
Then My basic doubt
1.How does DIm id will be linked to SID tables
2.If I have not maintained any master data or text or Heirachies then SID tables will it be generated or not?
3.If it is generated I think there is use of This SID now..as we have not maintained Master data.
4.I am haing 18 characterstic which are no way related to each other in that scnerio how does Dimensions have to identified.?or we need to inclued whole chracterstics in one dimensions or we need to create seprate dimesnions for each of them..?(max is 13 dimensions)
5.If Dimension table contains dim ids and characterstics then where does the values for characterstics will be stored...?
( for ex..sales rep is characterstics for this we will be giving values some names where does these values will be stored..)

hi Vasu,
e.g we have infocube with
- dimension 'location' -> characteristic 'sales rep', 'country'
- dimension 'partner'.
fact table
dim-id('sales person') dim-id('partner') revenue
1001                   9001              500
1002                   9002              300
1003                   9004              200
dimenstion table 'location'
dim-id sid-id(sales rep) sid-id(country)
1001    3001              5001
1002    3004              5004
1003    3005              5001
'sales rep' sid table
sid   sales rep
3001 abc
3004 pqr
3005 xyz
'country' sid table
5001      country1
5004      country2
so from the link dim-id and sid, we get
"sales rep report"
sales-rep   revenue
abc        500
pqr        300
xyz        200
"country report"
country    revenue
country1   700
country2   300
hope it's clear.

Dimension table and fact table exists data physically

Hi experts,
can anyone plz tell me weather dimension table and fact table exists data physically or not/

Hi..Sudheer
SAPu2019s BW is based on "Enhanced Star schema" or "Info Cubes" database design.This database design has a central database table, known as u2018Fact Tableu2019 which is surrounded by associated dimension tables.
Fact table is surrounded by dimensional tables. Fact table is usually very large, that means it contains
millions to billions of records.
These dimension tables doesn't contain data it contain references to the pointer tables that point to the master data tables which in turn contain Master data objects such as customer, material and destination country stored in BW as Info objects. An InfoObjects can contain single field definitions such as transaction data or complex Customer Master Data that hold attributes, hierarchy and customer texts that are stored in their own tables.
SID is surrogate ID generated by the system. The SID tables are created when we create a master data IO. In SAP BW star schema, the distinction is made between two self contained areas: Infocube & master data tables/SID tables.
The master data doesn't reside in the satr schema but resides in separate tables which are shared across all the star schemas in SAP BW. A numer ID is generated which connects the dimension tables of the infocube to that of the master data tables.
The dimension tables contain the dim ID and SID of a particular IO. Using this SID the attributes and texts of an master data Io is accessed.
The SID table is connected to the associated master data tables via teh char key.
Fact table(Transaction data,DIM ID)<>Dimention Table(SID and Dim ID)<->Masterdata table(SID,IO)
Thanks,
Abha

Dimnesion Key and SID

Hi Friends,
I have a cube, in which there are about 7 dimensions(excluding system generated dimensions). When i check the Fact table in the selection screen of the fact table i can see only 5 dimension keys and 5 SIDs (of the 5 dimenion keys 3 of them are for T/U/P) .
When i check the contectnt of the fact table it shows 5 dimens and 5 SIDs.
My question is why is it showing only 5 Dimension keys not 7? can someone please throw some pointers on this?.
Regards
BN

Hi Friends,
I got found why i have difference in the number of dimensions in the cube and the fact table.

Difference between Dimension Id and Dimension Key

I am reading the third chapter of Rittman's OBIEE book on design of Repository.
It says while building the BMM, don't drag the dimension Id columns from physical layer to logical layer as the BI Server takes care of the join for you but make sure you drag across the dimension key columns as you will need these later on to create your logical table keys.
Can someone enlighten me on what is the difference between a dimension id and dimension key (may be with an example).
Thanks.

Besides the theory says that a fact table can reference any level of a dimension, I couldn't do it with OWB. I don't know if there is a specific way to do that, but I only could assign a dimension detail level to a fact table.
The ID's can have different values when I use a hierarchy in a dimension. OWB generates automatically negative ID's for the more summarized levels.
For example, a product dimension with 2 levels: category and detail. If the product has 4 categories and 20 products (detail level), the table has 4 rows for categories with negative id's. Each row has a category and the fields specific for detail level are empty. The table will have other 20 rows for the detail level, with all fields filled, and all id's positive. The table will have 24 rows in the end.

Anyone know of a way to adjust the top and side MARGINS of a document printed from iOS numbers? The default margins are too wide. Need more working space.

Open the document,
Tap the Tools icon (upper right).

Drag the margins to the position you wish (the actual margin width sould display as you are doing this).

TV picture has a white line in the bottom and side

I connected the iTV to my TV via a DVI/HDMI converter. It is an older Pinoneer TV with only a old DVI jack. It plays fine but after a few minutes a very thin mostly white line appears at the bottom and side sometimes the top and side on the TV. If I turn it off and back on it goes away but only for a few minutes. Can I do anything to fix this?

I solved the problem last night. Since it took take a few minutes for the line to show up on the screen, we thought it might be the screen saver function on the TV. We turned off the TV picture rotation setting and it works perfectly now.

"why the Psoft oracle DB and SID names should be in all upper case

Customer is having a Question like
"why the Psoft oracle DB and SID names should be in all upper case (according to the PsoftTools 8.50 Installation for Oracle manual)
why the Peopletools 8.5 install book states all Oracle SID and database names should be in UpperCase.
If we use lower case database name, would encounter any problems, what sort of problems?
i Observed that all the Installation manual for 8.49,50,51 States the Same for Creating of Data base !
Task 1-6-1: Determining Databases and Database Names
You should also determine the names of the
databases at this point, using database names that:
• Are limited to eight characters, all UPPERCASE.
• Capture information about the PeopleSoft product line and the type of database
Please suggest on this !
Thanks

How to change DB name and SID in RAC environment?

I have 2 node RAC on Red Hat Linux, EL 4, upd. 4. It's using ASM
and it is working great. However, after 2 years of faithful service
I was asked to change DB name and SID. In non-RAC environment, that is
easy. Rename a few files, change init.ora and re-create control file.
I've done that many times. With 10g RAC, however, situation is different. There is also RAC registry which has the database under the certain name and, I believe, it also has SID registered. Can you, please, point me to a document describing how to do that? It's a production DB and I can't test it anywhere.

It's in the manual:

Photoshop cs5.5 - loaded on windows 8 - way too small! top and side

Hi,
I just loaded CS5 (and 5.5 updates) onto my windows 8 microsoft surface pro 3 computer.
the top and sides are soooo small you can't even read it.
I mainly use photoshop; but I loaded the entire web premium set of dvd's.
is there anything I can do?
thanks!

No, I'm on the Cloud now. I've owned Photoshop 5 (1998), 6, 7 CS CS2 CS3 CS4 CS6 CC and now CC 2014.
Just went from Windows to Mac.
Photoshop Elements is a permanent license. You buy it, you keep it. Elements has its' own forum where those who know the program will answer your question.
Anyway thanks for the "correct". You only give it out if anyone settles your questions and you need no further discussion. It closes the case.

Dimension 2300 and Solaris 10

Hi guys....
I just installed Solaris 10 (Dec 8, 2004) on a Dell Dimension 2300 and it doesn't seem that I can start the graphics interface. Right now it's sitting at level 3 (text only) and I'd love more than anything to bring it to level 5.
I'm brand new to Solaris and dont know yet where to go get patches and/or drivers to support the monitor and graphics card... can someone help?
The video card for this machine is Intel 845. I did run the xorgconfig tool (according to another thread in this forum) and changed the video card to Intel 810 (They dont have 845 in the list). Still not able to start the xserver.
Will keep looking while waiting for an answer... Thanks all! Have a nice day...
Kevin

Seems like you're used to Linux. In Solaris run-level 5 is shutdown+poweroff.
Try to configure the graphics adapter by using the "kdmconfig" command. Choose "Xsun" and pick the following driver:
XF86-I830 Intel integrated graphics chipsets: 830, 845, 852, 855, 86
After you're finished with kdmconfig start X-Windows using the following command:
/etc/init.d/dtlogin start

How do I remove the white space from the bottom and side of my document?

How do I remove the white space from the bottom and side of my document? (I'm not talking about printing, just viewing it on the screen.) There are about 6 inches of white space at the bottom and at the right hand side. I don't like this. On a blank new spreadsheet it's triple that amount of white space.

The infinite canvas convention doesn't make a lot of sense for Numbers. When I'm viewing a spreadsheet and mistakenly scroll into white, empty space I think, "this is ridiculous - all of my content is fits on one screen. there's nothing over there."
A (relatively) infinite canvas is logical for Microsft Excel because it's one big table. There are 256(?) columns by default and hundreds of rows on a sheet - there are cells outside what a user is looking at to see. However, when viewing a Numbers spreadsheet with a single 10 column 10 row table that fits on the screen, there's nothing else on it to scroll to.
Numbers should distinguish between viewing a spreadsheet and editing one. When I'm just viewing, when there's no content outside the window it shouldn't scroll there. This window behavior is beyond annoying for Numbers on my iPad and iPhone.
(Adding user-defined canvas size setting to my view mode / edit mode thinking would probably be the most complete solution to this now that I think about it.)
Until now the way scrolling worked in Numbers has defied logic. Actually it still does lol. That said, thank you Yellowbox for providing a clear explanation. Much appreciated.

Number of Entries in Dimension Tables and Fact Tables

Hi all,
is there an easy way to check
- the number of entries in the dimension tables
- the number of entries in the fact table?
Thanks a lot
Alex

Hi Alex,
If u want to see the content of Dimension table and Fact table for a infocube then just right click on a particular info cube then select manage . Select coneten tab there , form there u can either select Fact table to see the fact table conten or Infocube content to see the Dimensiontable content.
