Dimension ids are 0 in fact table of infocube

Hi ,
We have cube in which we have have dimension A which has two chars stocktype (non masterdata).
and stock category(non masterdata).
When I checked the fact table of the same cube I could see that the DIM ID for A is maintained as 0 for all values.
In this case how does the DIM IDs get linked to the fact table.
Please explain.
Thanks.
Ramesh

Hello Ramesh
DIM ids are combination of SIDs.  Please check whether those two InfoObject have "Attribute Only" option checked in InfoObject maintenance.
If that is the case , then there will be no SID table generated for these two InfoObjects and if no SID is there, there can not be any DIM id.
But I was wondering why this if these are Attribute Only then why did system allow you to add them in dimension.
Another possibility, you did not get any data for these two field in this cube , so it did not check SIDs and generated DIM ids.
Do you have value for these two fields in the cube?

Anindya

  • Key figure units in fact tables of InfoCube are blank

    I run RSRV - Key figure units in fact tables for my cube and found the following error message. I found one SAP note 941895 - RSRV test fails with unknown error, but our system status is SAPKW70020, so this note is not useful to our case. Pls advise!
    System message:
    The test Unit of key figures in fact tables for InfoCube XXX initial had to be terminated due to an unknown error (RSRV320).
    Many thanks!

    Hi Raja,
    Check that in your transformation you have mapped Unit from source system to this key figure. If not then you will have to do the mapping and reload the data. If you are not able to get unit from source system then atleast you will have to assign some constant Unit if possible.

  • How can we know that size of dimension is more than fact table?

    how can we know that size of dimension is more than fact table?
    this was the question asked for me in interview

    Hi Reddy,
      This is common way finding the size of cube or dimensions or KF.
    Each keyfiure occupies 10 Bytes of memory
    Each Char occupies 6 Bytes of memory
    So in an Infocube the maximum number of fields are 256 out of which 233 keyfigure, 16 Dimesions and 6 special char.
    So The maximum capacity of a cube
    = 233(Key figure)10 + 16(Characteristics)6 + 6(Sp.Char)*6
    In general InfoCube size should not exceed 100 GB of data
    Hope it answer your question.
    Regards,
    Varun

  • Fact tables in Infocube

    How many tables Exact Contain in Info cube?
    Please search the forum
    Edited by: Pravender on Sep 16, 2011 12:31 AM

    Hi Mahesh,
    For Basis InfoCubes in SAP BW, there are two fact tables for
    including transaction data: The F and the E fact table.
    Unlike the E fact table, the F fact table contains the information
    about the request from where the transaction data originates
    When loading data (when receiving requests), the system writes data
    into the F fact table.
    During "compression", the system summarizes data from different
    requests and writes it to the E fact table.
    To ensure good reporting performance, it is important that you only
    keep data from a few requests in the F fact table, which means that you
    should compress requests as soon as possible.
    Also bear in mind that deleting transaction data according to the
    request is only possible from the F fact table, as only this table
    contains the information regarding which data belongs to which
    request.
    You should therefore compress a request as soon as you are certain
    that the data loaded is correct. When you install BW on an ORACLE database, BITMAP indexes are created on the fact tables to improve the reporting performance of the system
    And yes try to search on help.sap, there is plenty of information.
    Regards

  • Few dimension values used in FACT tables.

    Hello all,
    We are trying to know if somebody faced this issue earlier. We have dimension tables containing 5 million records, but the fact table uses hardly 30k of these dimension values. The fact table contains 350 million records, so is there any way to improve the performance of the query in such a scenario, where hardly 20% of dimension values are actually used by the FACT tables.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Conformed dimension and query multiple fact tables

    Hello,
    Please if someone can guide me on this requirement.
    Requirement - I have a conformed dimension D1 and two fact tables F1 and F2. Both fact tables have many columns so I cannot merge
    the two fact tables into one logical table. Currently both these fact tables have logical tables F1 and F2 respectively.
    As per design the conformed dimension is a simple logical table in the rpd and not a dimension.
    Can someone guide me how should i proceed so that i'll be able to fetch information from both the fact tables?
    Edited by: 930542 on Apr 26, 2012 12:28 PM

    Hi,
    Currently the dimension table is taken as a simple logical table in rpd as it does not have have any levels or hierarchy.
    Its a flat dimension. Can you guide me how can I implement a flat dimension in OBIEE? Because this dimension is taken as simple logical table
    I am not able to set appropriate level for fac tables. This dimension does not appear in the list of dimensions.

  • Same dimension in two different fact tables

    Hi,
    I have one same dimension in two different fact tables. I would like to know how BI server choose the fact table when I do a request in this dimension.
    I know that is always using the same fact table, but I would like to know why choose this table and not the other.
    Thanks

    Sorry,
    But it doesn't seem to me.
    I reorded the tables in the BMM layer and it continues to use the same table, regardless this table is in last.
    After, I droped that table in the BMM layer and it continued to use the same.
    Thanks for your reply

  • Two Filter on Two dimensions without constraining the fact table

    Hi All,
    does anybody know how to avoid the fact constraint when creating a report with two filters on different dimensions?
    I have a big fact table with more than 10 Million rows. In the starmodel the is the dimension customer and products. I create a filter on the customer atrribute "Status" and choose the value "Active". Now I add the column "Product Type" from the dimension "Product" to the filter section. When I want to choose a value OBIEE executes a select statement within the fact table. So I have to wait very long to select a value. Is there any way to say OBIEE only to select the dimension table without joining the fact table?
    Thank you very much in Advance.
    Regards,
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,
    Generally queries on the dimensions (across dimesions also) always go through a fact. In case, you would like the queries not be through fact table, but just the dimension tables right away, you can set up a separate subject area for them.
    You can create a separate subject area based on a dummy fact table to get these prompt values.
    Please refer to http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_parameter_prompt_subject_area for more details on this setup.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,

  • Distinct count of dimension business key in fact table

    In my cube I have a fact table which joins to a patient dimension.  The patient dimension is a type 2.  What I would like to do is get a distinct count of patients who have records in the fact table.   The business key in the patient dimension
    is the PrimaryMrn.  So a SQL query would look like this.
    SELECT count(distinct PrimaryMrn)
    FROM EncounterFact e
    INNER JOIN PatientDim p
    on e.PatientKey = p.PatientKey
    Is it possible to do this via MDX?
    Thanks for the help.

    If you have to distinct count an attribute in a SCD 2, you might choose between:
    Denormalizing that attribute in the fact table, and the create a classical DISTINCT COUNT measure
    Use a many-to-many approach - see the "Distinct Count" scenario in the Many-to-Many White paper here:
    http://www.sqlbi.com/articles/many2many (for both Multidimensional and Tabular
    If you use Tabular, you might want to read also this pattern:

  • Adding Dimension field ($) in measures (fact) table in logical layer

  • Oracle Administration Tool (RPD) One Dimension linked with many fact tables

    How to connect One dimension with many table facts in the Lgical level of RPD without having an error about connection between table facts?

    It's not about "linking two catalogs". That's Siebel Marketing stuff. Forget about it. Just create your models and put them in their respective presentation catalogs.
    Whatever you fire from answers will hit that specifc presentation catalog and search its way through the metadata to contruct the query.
    Hence conforming dimensions as a technical concept are definitely the thing you want...not the rpd object type "conformed dimension links".

  • The fact table of InfoCube 0OPA_C11 is missing 2 secondary indexes

    Hello experts,
    in RSRV i got the above mentioned message for my InfoCube 0OPA_C11. Before I tried to delete, repair and build up my indices in performance tab of the InfoCube.
    I followed SAP Note '401242 - Problems with InfoCube or aggregate indexes'.
    -> SAP_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_REPAIR repaired indexes and show no further problem, but problem still exists, in performance tab light is red and RSRV brings same message.
    Does someone have any idea what further I can do?
    Best regards,
    Peter

    Peter, refer to note 928037, it's FAQ about MaxDB indexes. I gave it a quick reading and I believe the answer to this issue lies beneath this doc! There are ways to check consistency of individual index, bad indexes and ways of eliminating them.
    Also, refer to the below blog. Check the status of the secondary index in this case. I suspect they are bad or missing. There are ways to recreate them. Keep your basis guys in the loop.

    So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.
