Dimensional data on a PO

Can some one suggest me if there is any place holder to hold dimension data on a PO (either at Item or header level )
Like length, height, width.
Thanks

In just a few steps you can disable the data temporarily! Just go to Settings> Data Manager> Data Delivery> and uncheck 'Data enabled'. When you need it back, simply re-check that option!

'Select a measure:' stuck on 'Loading...' in Dashboard Designer KPI Dimensional Data Source Mapping

[using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise SP1]
I am trying to create a KPI in Dashboard Designer, but am getting a timeout. I have been doing this for a while on my site; this is not the first. I haven't had this problem before.
I created a new KPI and clicked on the Data Mappings column value, which is a hyperlink, to bring up the Dimensional Data Source Mapping dialog. I switched to a Data Connection in the site I just created (DC works perfectly and can retrieve sample data).
When I click the "Select a measure:" drop-down menu, I get the message "Loading..." and after a while (a minute? two?) a dialog pops up with:
The request took too long to complete. SharePoint is currently unavailable or experiencing heavy traffic. Try again later.
This is a test SP server and I'm the only one on it, so there is no load. Also as mentioned, I am able to verify the Data Connection without problem. I am not having any issue with any of my other few dozen KPIs/Data Connections. Any suggestions as to how
to troubleshoot?

Hi cgtyoder,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you created a KPI in Dashboard Designer.
Please try to recycle the PerformancePoint Services Application Pool account, compare the result.
Please go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\the port of web application, adjust the HttpRuntime executionTimeout for the Web Application by modifying the web.config, now PerformancePoint report stability is much better:
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="600" maxRequestLength="51200" />
Note: before you change the web.config file, please make a bakcup for the file.
If this issue still exists, please go to the log file to find more information about this issue.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Universe Design approach - Dimensional Data model

We use a Dimensional data model which has about 15 different models based on Subject areas. Eg: Billing, Claims, Eligibility, etc. Each model has its own Fact table linked to Dimensions, some of which are Conformed dimensions which is present in multiple models. We want to build Universes on top of this model, for creating Crystal Reports and to expose it to the Business Users to create WebI reports through InfoView.
 
The Client has already built 15 Universes one for each Subject area_, which has 1 fact table each and many Conformed dimensions with some junk dimensions. When a Report needs data from more than one Universe, we have to link the different Universe queries at Report. 
Major drawback with this approach is change management. As our data model will be expanded in future, which in turn makes me to update multiple Universes when, say a Conformed dimension changes; since the Conformed dimension table will be present in multiple Universes.
 
Now we are considering the below approaches to have better Architectural design and have easier User interface.
 
1. Creating a master Universe for the Dimension tables(here there may be a effort to modify data model to suit linking Dimension tables together). Then to create derived Universes for each Fact table. These derived Universes will be linked back to common dimension Universe. 
Maintenance will be easier in this approach, as whenever a Dimension changes I need not update multiple Universes, but as I am linking Universes at Designer level as Master and derived Universes, I am concerned about the Report development if the report needs data from multiple Universes. Then I would be linking u201Cmultiple Linked Universeu201D queries at Report. 
2. The other option I have is to combine multiple dimension models(Subject areas) into one Universe. By this we will create minimal number of Universes as possible. May be end up creating 5 or 6 Universes, but we will have tough time in maintaining Security of data elements. For instance, at high level a Universe may have Billing and Eligibility data, where I have to maintain strict Security for the User groups, and let only specific users to see/ use all data elements (objects). 
Hope I have summarized my question well, any inputs from you on the approach you are aware of/ prou2019s and conu2019s of it in terms of time it takes to build, the performance of Report(creating WebI reports through InfoView) is appreciated !!
We want to see which approach makes it better for creating Crystal Reports and when it reaches Business Users who has little patience waiting for a Report and needs best possible interface

There is no one perfect answer for your question. Universes are more of an art than a science imo. I can tell you that we have many conformed dimensions joined to multiple facts in a single universe. The key to this approach is that for each fact table you will need a context. The advantage to this approach is the ease in which your WebBI users will be able to build reports. The disadvantage is that Crystal Reports cannot handle multiple contexts so your Universe is basically useless in CR. For CR, you will need to build Business Views rather than universes.

Relational Data and Dimensional Data

Hi,
Please list out the differences between relational data (Physical layer) and dimensional data (BMM layer).
regards
chandra kanth.

Hi Chandra,
This is not a concept of OBIEE but more of a BI general concept that can be applied to many tools.
I found a nice example by IBM that might help you answer your questions http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ddi.doc/ddi221.htm
One thing to take in myind is that dimensions are usually used in the BI world and not the relational word. It helps you analyze data from different points of view and levels (aggregations).
In OBIEE you set a relational "database" in the physical layer buy joining (in general) your fact tables with your dimension tables
In BMM, you actually create and link those dimensions into a hierarchical format. This is, you have a dimension table, and you liked the different fields in the table to create a hierarchy that will later give you a great functionality.
I hope this helps.

Trying (and failing) to read XML multi-dimensional data array

i.e.
<mpp:Vehicle>
<mpp:Vehicle_Rgtrn_Ref>?</mpp:Vehicle_Rgtrn_Ref>
<mpp:Vehicle_Model_Code>?</mpp:Vehicle_Model_Code>
<mpp:DrivingRestrictionCode>?</mpp:DrivingRestrictionCode>
<mpp:Object_Mnfct_Year>?</mpp:Object_Mnfct_Year>

<mpp:Postcode_Area_Ref>???? ???</mpp:Postcode_Area_Ref>
<mpp:Covers>
 <mpp:Cover>?</mpp:Cover>
 <mpp:Cover>?</mpp:Cover>
 <mpp:Cover>?</mpp:Cover>
</mpp:Covers>
</mpp:Vehicle>
<mpp:Vehicle>........
I'm currently trying to create a web service to read a SOAP message containing such XML. When reading the message, EDQ converts the singleton nodes in each Vehicle node group to a stringarray but only provides the last Cover node in each Vehicle in a stringarray. I'm not in control of the XML structure so trying to get the supplier to concatenate each vehicles covers into a delimited list within a single node may be a battle.
Anybody else ever encountered this? Is it possible or am I flogging a dead horse trying to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Jon

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your suggestion to my colleague Jon regarding -multi in option. As he said, w
hat we currently get when we have a SOAP message containing <Covers><Cover>A</Cover><Cover>B</Cover><Cover>C</Cover></Covers> is an EDQ stringarray containing the value {C}.
I've tried your suggestion
and ran the wsdlizer with the -multi in option but the wsdlizer fails with the following error:
H:\Workspaces\svn\edqTrunk\EDQ\WebServices\WSDL>java -jar wsdlizer.jar -o lv-mpp-query-request-ws.jar -multi in MPP_Query_Request_Service.wsdl
INFO: 10-Sep-2013 13:24:07: wsimport succeeded

etc.
SEVERE: 10-Sep-2013 13:24:07: APT scan failed
Unfortunately, the error message is not very helpful to me. Do you know what it is whingeing about? I've also tried running the wsdlizer on our old wsdl files, i.e. before we introduced the parent tag <Covers> around <Cover>, but this failed with the same result when running with the -multi in option

A colleague created the wsdl, it's been checked a number of times but no one can find anything dodgy that might account for the wsdlizer error we're getting. So we're a bit lost now, the data coming in to our EDQ process is incomplete, which makes further development of out EDQ processes somewhat challenging.
Any help would be greatly received. Also happy to send any more information you may require.

How to display 2 dimensional data. i.e with rows and columns?

Hi,
I want to know how to display multiple, variable
rows and columns that are got from the database through
queries in forms.
(i,e. a Matrix of Values,something similar to an Excel Spreadsheet).
Is there a component in forms similar to JTABLE that is
available in Java through which MULTIPLE, VARIABLE
rows and columns can be displayed ?.
I am not using a base table since this data is got thru
a number of packages and procedures that are used in
Loops.
NOTE : I am using forms 6i.
Thanks
Sharath.

I've heard Grant mention adding a Grid component to the Forms toolbox. From the context I would guess this is not yet even under development, so it's not going to be available anytime soon. And not for 6i.
Sorry, APC

Custom stacked chart (3 dimensional data)

Hi,
I'm in need of a custom stacked chart.
i've created an illustration of my needs [here|http://www.picamatic.com/show/2011/07/04/04/45/7669409_402x446.jpg] (see attached picture)
my need is to illustrate a tool's status over time.
there are 3 available statuses of a tool and they span across months.
a minimum period is one month, but it can span over 2 months or more.
is this kind of graph available in any tool offered by SAP?
thanks.
Edited by: BW Team on Jul 4, 2011 2:49 PM

Xcelsius does not offer this kind of stacked column.
please note, that im not referring to a normal stacked column which only allows a pre-defined series.
my stacked columns are supposed to be repeating themselves throughout the column depending on data.
thanks again.

Modifiable two dimensional data provider

I've been using this tutorial blog of winston prakash to buid a data provider for my project:
http://blogs.sun.com/winston/entry/displaying_two_dimensional_data
I have it working perfectly but now I want to extend it with functionality to modify the contents of the data provider (only modify no append, insert or delete).
So I looked at the source code of data providers that had this functionality (like the ObjectListDataProvider) but I didn't manage to get it to work.
What I did was change the isReadOnly function to always return false and implement setValue functions.
but the setValue function is never called when I post the form and I can't find a way to get the content of the post such that I can update the dataprovider manually.
so can someone please help me?

The one thing you'll have to watch out for when using Replace Array Subset is you can't replace an element that isn't there. So when you get to the end of your initialized array and still need to add more to it, you'll need to use the Insert into array to add some more space.
I've modified the example a bit to show one way to this. Doing this is still much more efficient than inserting on every iteration, since the memory allocation only happens when needed.

Best ways to create rpd or reports if we have data in more fact tables

I have fact and dimensional data in one or more different tables. Then each logical table source represents one data segment.Please suggest me some methods or ways like fragmentation through which i can use them in creating rpd and report and main problem here is facts too large contains 25 million records.But adding tables in BMM layer effecting performance so can anyone other ways doing it in database side.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: user2989722 on Dec 3, 2009 3:09 PM

hi,
For the fragmentation you can create on dimension .The procedure is clearly explained in this blog
http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/01/fragmentation-in-obiee.html
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/06/19/obiee-data-modeling-tips-2-fragmentation/
For the performance point of view you can create a Materialized view (based on columns that your report is using) so that it will hit that particluar view instead of hitting whole table(25million records table) please look into this post
Re: Materialized views in OBIEE

How to create a link to base oracle olap express(ODBC DATA source Name)

hello,
How can I create a datasource name, because I want to connect to Express base with Business Objects.
thank you for your help

Express does not support ODBC access, it only supports a proprietary interface called SNAPI. There was a way to connect and pass data backwards and forwards using VB but that was about it. No ODBC connectivity.
If you want to access multi-dimensional data using Business Objects I would recommend upgrading from Express to Oracle OLAP 10gR2. There might be licensing issues here so I would talk to your Oracle account manager first because I am not sure customers can migrate from Express to Oracle OLAP for free.
Once you have moved your data from Express to OLAP 10gR2 (the steps to do this are all in the manual and it should be a painless process) then you can use a utility from Business Objects to create the required relational views over your OLAP cubes and dimensions. This will allow you to access your multi-dimensional data via BO's Webi client. I think the utility to create the views can be provided free of charge from BO, however, I think you need to have access to their support website to download it. But check with your BO account manager.
Hope this helps

Are there any (dis)advantages in building a universe on fully normalized tables instead of building dimensional model/tables and then universe on top of them?

Hello,
I’m hoping someone can help me with understanding advantages and disadvantages if we want to build a universe on top of a fully normalized tables, compared to using a dimensional model with star schemas.
I’ve read some discussions here that say that it is possible to create a universe on top of normalized tables. Then, can we avoid building of dimensional tables (a data mart), and just use normalized tables? I would say that it is easier to use star schema dimensions and facts tables to build a universe, but our end users might ask “why do we have to go through building a dimensional data mart, if we can have same reports with hierarchies and drill-down functionality based on a universe built on top of our already existing normalized tables?”
Can you point me to some established best practices regarding using normalized tables to build a universe? Any documents with some examples for this?
Any expected difficulties during design/development phase of our universe, related to using normalized tables?
Any expected performance degradation if we use normalized tables compared to using dimensional tables?
Can I build universe more easily if I transform (modify) our normalized model (by using alias tables and views) to look like snowflake model?
I’m using BOE XI 3.1, tables are in Oracle 11.2.
Thank you

Few Disadvantages that I usually face when building universe on Normalized tables,
1. Performance - Read operations have to suffer because indexing strategies do not go well with table joins
2. Derived Tables - Due to complex Queries/ Logic, most of the time, end-up creating derived tables, which doesn't use back-end table indexes and slows down the report runtime.
3. Normalized table/ Transaction tables may not always have proper cardinality and often results in Cartesian products
4. Normalized tables may not have tight referential integrity and may have to join more than one column and join on varchar, etc whereas, good Dimensional model datawarehouse will have proper keys/ integer joins and not always necessary to join on multiple fields
5. Often deal with Fan and Chasm Traps
6. Dealing with Database fields with nulls, blanks, date in numeric format, etc.,
7. No Facts, Dimensions separated and most of the time they are in same table
and More...
If performance is not a matter and building Datawarehouse is a big deal, then I will start building Universe on normalized tables by having the database diagram as reference for Joins, contexts, etc
Note: After dealing with universes based on normalized tables for few years (by creating views, complex sql queries data loading to tables and unv on these tables, derived tables), I ended up creating star-schema dimensional model (couple of months extra ETL work), users/ developers felt lot better when they have to create standard/ ad-hoc reports and they are super fast compared to previous universes.

Is the OBIEE used to create a data warehouses dynamically?

Management where I work wants to use the OBIEE Administrator to source a 3NF normalized database and create a "virtual data warehouse" in the Business Modeling Mapping layer of OBI Administrator as a Star Schema model is required by OBI Business Model layer. They claim they were told by an Oracle sales rep that the Administrator tool could do this.
Is this possible? As OBI issues only SQL and not PL/SQL how can one "create" dimensions, lookup tables and fact tables dynamically? And even if it could the performance hit to recreate the virtual data warehouse each time a query is issued would be huge.
Having used Prism Warehouse Builder and DataStage in the past to create data warehouses I am aware that one needs a procedural programming language to create and maintain the star schema tables (surrogate key maintenance, controling workflows, maintaining slowly changing dimensions, intermediate lookup tables, etc.). SQL was not meant to do this heavy lifting programming. Afterall, isn't this why Oracle Warehouse Builder and previously Informatica is shipped with OBIEE suite because OBI is not an ETL tool to create dimensional models? One uses an ETL tool to create the dimensional data model for OBI to access and pass along the metadata to OBI Answers.
So is it normal practice to use the Administrator's Business Mapping/Modeling layer for creating a virtual star schema logical tables from physical tables that are 3NF? Or is the tool used to access already denormalized tables in the physical layer that were created using Informatica or OWB or other ETL tool?

I asked an "Expert" in OBIEE. Here are snippets of his response:
"Be aware though that the transformation ability is fairly limited, and
will only really work with data that is very close to a star schema, i.e.
the data can be easily transformed through a couple of denormalizations and
table joins. If your source data is very normalized and cannot easily be
transformed into a star schema, you would need to use a tools such as
Informatica, OWB or similar to extract data from your source systems, load
and then transform it into a data warehouse or data mart and report of of
that. The more that your data needs to be transformed (i.e. the closer it
is to a 3NF model) the more likely it is that you'll need to use an ETL
tool, and a data warehouse or data mart, to host your data."
And in response to my noting the lack of documentation on how to model a 3NF to Star Schema his response was:
"No, you're right, the documentation doesn't really go into "how to" turn a 3NF model into a dimensional model. If you look back to when OBIEE was a Siebel product, the documentation was really aimed at either Siebel consultants or customers who had been on the training, they didn't want customers "off the street" to try and implement OBIEE as it would hit their services revenue. That's where the blog posts we do, things like the Oracle-by-example training courses on OTN and so on come in, otherwise as you say there's little out there on the best way to transform your model - it's mostly passed on "word of mouth" or is built up from experience on working on projects."

OLAP data from MS SQL to Oracle

Hi,
I am currently using Microsoft SQL server 2000 as our datawarehouse with Analytic services(OLAP data).
We are thinking of migrating to Oracle 10g. By using Migration Workbench, will it migrate my 3 dimensional data(OLAP) from MS SQL to Oracle (OLAP) ?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Ian Ho

This could happen if you are using improper LKM
So depending on your source and staging database you choose the corresponding LKM
for example:
If you are using MS SQL Server as your source and Oracle database as the staging database, then you should be using lKM SQL to Oracle

Load data from dimensions to fact table

Hi,
I have 10 dimension tables and one fact table. now i want to load data in to fact table from dimensions table. how i can do that.
Regards,
joy

To elaborate on "Mallee"'s answer, it's not good practice to load dimensional data into a fact table.
I guess what you mean is how to refer to dimensions when loading a fact table.
Simply refer to dimensions using lookups on the necessary dimensions, the lookup needs to be on the natural key you have that links facts to dimensions. Don't forget to use the dimension's surrogate key though when populating the fact table's foreign key columns pointing at the dimensions.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Patrick
