Efficiently Create a Cube Rolling In

I did this quickly (relatively quickly anyway) to get close to the effect that I'm going for. I'd like to have the cube roll in the three words seperately. There's got to be an easier way than trying to line up the layers the manually in 3D space and use a null to spin it in. Not to mention that the shadow catching layer kinda gets in the way too...
Do you know of any plugins that do this effect or of any tutorials on creating it?

So, Rick, that was a very helpful response, after lots of trial and error, I've got to this point.
The shadows along the top and bottom are supremely annoying! Any suggestions for dealing with that? I've tinkered with the light's settings

Hi Martin,
I believe that the issue you are encountering now is that you're using the wrong set of procedures for accessing MS SQL Server.
In section 5.4.1 (Setting up SAP NetWeaver System database software) in the Strategy Management configuration guide, there is a section which discusses steps that are required depending on whether or not you are using MaxDB or MS SQL Server as your system database behind NetWeaver CE. My guess is that you have not followed the steps described for SQL Server here. This is simple to do thoughm, because all you need to do is copy the files in the "<install-dir>\SAP\SSM\InternetPub\procs\sqlsrvr_procs" into the <install-dir>\SAP\SSM\InternetPub\procs" directory.
This is required because, when using Cube Builder or Entry and Appropval, the PAS component communicates directly with the system database in order to load data from there into PAS. Because MaxDB and SQL Server have different SQL syntax, specifically regarding field concatenation, slightly different SQL is required. So if you copy the SQL Server specific procedures across, you should be able to successfully build your model from Cube Builder.
Of course, having read through your question again I'm not 100% sure that this is what you are hitting. The problem you're seeing seems to be that, when we internally concatenate some selected fields together, we aren't finding a field called ID. However, the SQL select being issued doesn't seem to have returned any error messages, so I'm not sure why there is a problem referencing the field.
The only thing that comes to mind is a problem that I ran into at one point with the type of driver I was using to connect to SQL Server. The PAS component of Strategy Management, even though it runs on Windows 2003 Server 64bit, is still only a 32bit component. This means that, when configuring the System Data Sources within the ODBC applet in Control Panel, it is critical that the 32bit version of that ODBC applet be used - as documented in the note at the end of section 5.4.3 in the configuration guide. The reason this is important is because, if you use an OLEDB connection to SQL Server, for some reason the field names are not returned correctly. It is only when using the ODBC driver that the field names are returned correctly.
So please ensure that you are using the ODBC driver for your Link ID which connects to SQL Server, and not an OLEDB connection.
Hope this helps,
Robert

How to Create a Cube Based on other Cubes?

I want to create a cube that is sourced from other cubes. My situation is I have a number of cubes based on individual products and I want to create a cross-product cube that combines the individual product cubes at a common dimensional grain.
e.g :
CUBE_1 (DIM_1, DIM_2, DIM_3)
CUBE_2 (DIM_1, DIM_2, DIM_3, DIM_4)
CUBE_3 (DIM_1, DIM_2, DIM_3, DIM_4, DIM_5)
CROSS_CUBE (DIM_1, DIM_2, DIM_3)
I see if your cubes are in the same AW then you can access measures from other cubes with a calculated measure. But I'm struggling to understand two things:
1. If I want to build a cube that is only sourced from other cubes and not any database tables then what do I put in the cube mapping?
2. If I create a calculated measure that accesses another cube's measure does Oracle OLAP automatically match up the dimensionality? e.g. If I create a calculated measure in CROSS_CUBE that adds together a measure from CUBE_1 and a measure from CUBE_2 then will the new measure return the correct results across DIM_1, DIM_2 and DIM_3?
To do this in a relational star schema you have to do a Drill-Across: http://www.kimballgroup.com/2005/06/design-tip-68-simple-drill-across-in-sql/
Is what I'm trying to do possible or will I need to combine the cube views into another view and use this as my cross cube source?
Thanks in advance.
OLAP Analytic Workspace 11.2.0.4.0
Oracle OLAP API 11.2.0.4.0
OLAP Catalog 11.2.0.4.0

You can create a cube in AWM which consists only of calculated measures. These calculated measures can reference other cubes provided that
1) the cubes are in the same Analytic workspace as the calculated measure cube and
2) the calculated measure cube is dimensioned by the same dimensions as all the cube measures it references in its calculated measures.
For instance, if your calculated cube is dimensioned by dim1, dim2, dim3 and dim4, it can have calculated measures which refer to measures in cubes that are dimensioned by any subset of the dimensions (i.e. dim1 and dim3, or dim1, dim2, dim3 and dim4, etc).
The calculated measure cube does not need to be mapped because it only contains calculated measures that reference measures in other cubes which I am assuming are mapped and built.

Creating a new roll in the library, impossible!

Help! I am having difficulties creating a new roll within my library. I have followed the directions in the help menu (i.e. clicking library, selecting the photos i want, file>create film roll) BUT when I go to the file menu, 'create film roll is not an option highlighted. Pleasssse help! Thank you thank you.

Has to be a glitch in iPhoto. First try running Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. Are you at the latest version, 6.0.2? If not update to that and try again. Lastly you might have to reinstall iPhoto from the source disks it came on. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Then install iPhoto, apply the latest update and repair disk permissions.

Creating a cube using OEM

I have an Oracle 10g database that has 5 tables in it. these tables are linked together through keys. Now, I am curious to know if I can create a cube with two or more dimensions based on columns from the same table, and also have the measure(s) for that cube be from the same table?? Would I need to create a view of that table and use that view as the "fact table"?
It seems like the cubes built in a lot of these samples use dimensions where each of those dimensions each come form a separate table. Does it always have to be that way?
Thanks for any input.

I'm not sure exactly why you want to do this.
I guess I didn't explain very clearly :)
We (i.e. the company I work for) creates software (in C++) which needs to work with a lot of data which is in an Oracle-DB.
As the analysis done by the SW would profit (performance-wise) from the layout of the data in an cube, we want to get the data in a cube.
But information like the number of dimensions isn't known beforehand (as that's sth. that's dependent on the site the customer uses the SW on, and can
change with time), the software has to do the creation of dims and the cube itself.
(For the curious ones: http://www.centerpoint.eu.com/ )
And as OLAPI isn't available for C++ (at least afaics), I'd really want to do this in PL/SQL.
If you do use standard form, you then allow yourself the
option of using the various tools later
That's really not needed :)
You can always build the original AW using
AWM, then save the build script it generates, and use
that to do subsequent builds.
Is that build-script in OLAP DML? How do I save it?
BTW, in addition to the SPL INFILE command, there is
the DBMS_AW.INFILE plsql routine, which saves you
some quotes :-).
dbms_aw.execute('infile ''work_dir/my.inf''') vs
dbms_aw.infile('work_dir/my.inf')
I hate superfluous quotes :)
Thanks Jim!

Creating a Cube using pure OLAP DML

This should be quite simple, but neither reading OLAP_*.pdf nor googling helped me, so maybe you can give me a hint where to look:
I want to create dimensions, populate them, create a cube, and finally populate it, using just OLAP DML (i.e. no DBMS_AW or CWM/CWM2 packages).
1) How can I execute OLAP DML? Right now I'm using sqlplus, wrapping each line in execute dbms_aw.execute(...);
There's some better way, right? :)
2) Can someone give me a link to a simple tutorial, showing how to create a cube et c.? Right now I'm as far as
AW CREATE olaptest1
DEFINE dimfoo DIMENSION TEXT AW olaptest1
DEFINE dimbar DIMENSION TEXT AW olaptest1
SQL SELECT DISTINCT(foo) FROM footable ORDER BY 1 INTO :dimfoo
(the latter one fails, telling me that "quux is not a vaild olaptest1!dimfoo")
3) Have I understood this correctly: I only need an Catalog if I want to work with AWM or DBMS_AWM, not if I just use DML?

I'm not sure exactly why you want to do this.
I guess I didn't explain very clearly :)

Which is Better?: Add to multiprovider; Create new ODS; Create new Cube

Which is a better choice:
Add to multiprovider; create additional ODS; create additional Cube?
I have this data flow: 5 ODSes which are aggregated into a single Cube1. A multiprovider then sits on the Cube1. I run Report1 against the multiprovider and from the output, I want to jump (through a jump query) to a much more detailed report.
(information from the different 5 ODSes will be coming together to make a meaning record in the detailed report)
Which of these will be the best modeling approach at this point:
1. Bring in all the detail level information in the 5 ODSes into the multiprovider and create the detail report (against the multiprovider).
2. Create a new ODS and bring in all the detail information from the 5 ODSes into this new ODS_6 and create the detail report against this newly combined ODS_6?
3. Create new Cube2 and bring in all the detail information from the 5 ODSes into this single cube and create the detail report against this newly combined Cube? i.e. without bringing Cube 2 in the multiprovider.
a) Which of these options is the typical thing to do?
b) From performance point of view, which one is better? Any reasons?
c) Do you have a better recommendation to get my report based on the original multiprovider; as well as get the detail (through the jump query)?
Thanks

Everything is based on how much data you are reading.
Remember: the first and second options are slower because even if you are creating query against the Multiprovider in the first option, both options read directly from the ODS. Technically, ods is not optimized for reporting (reading). ODS is just like a normal relational database table, unless you use the key to read data from, it is very slow (everything is not indexed).
Option 3, is much better in respect of design and performance. Reason, cube support multidimensional analysis, where all char is related with SID which is being generated automatically which increases performance.
My recommendation:
Create another ods (combine all the other ODSes) just like you did in option two, and push summarized data in the cube and detail data in this ods. Write a report again the cube when needed jump to the ods.
Hope that helps.
thanks.

Creating a Cube from an XML CLOB

I'm trying to create a cube by calling dbms_aw_xml.execute, passing a CLOB. The CLOB has been populated by saving a cube XML template to a database table, then selecting it into a temporary CLOB. When I run dbms_aw_xml.execute, I get error messages similar to the one shown below.
I know I've initialised the CLOB okay, because when I try creating a dimension using the same technique, it works fine. Also, when I import the XML template via AWM, the cube creates okay. I only have a problem when using dbms_aw_xml.execute.

Well i have a small glitch that i don't quit understand don know whether to ask here or no or it should be on a new thread. but her goes.
I am under Mandriva2008.1 with JMF performance pack installed on my classpath. i register jffmpeg plugin on the fly and can play most of the video and audio files supported by jffmpeg though not in so good of the quality but in just works 4me since am only using it for preveiw purposes.
The problem is that i used mencoder mencoder vcd://02 -vf scale=640:272 -o track02.mpg -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 from the console to convert some VCD files to mpeg4 but the JVM just crashes when i try to open the files. After i look at the crash log it is related to some native libraries C [libjmmpx.so+0x14b54].
Wonder whether is the mencoder issue i.e am using the wrong mencoder args or is it that JMF is loading the wrong decoder for the mpeg4 codec?

How to create a "cube" that rotates images

hello Flash,
I have seen some web sites that have a "cube" that has images
displayed on the face of the cube. And it rotates -
most of the ones I have seen rotate continuously. I would
like to create a cube, that when I click a buttion (web browser
button) it gives the appearance of rotation and changes the image.
How can I do this in flash???
thanks
eholz1

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. Sorry if I get this wrong.
You have two fact tables, one with data values at the day, month and year levels and a second fact table with data values at just the month and year levels. If this is the case, in the CWM2 APIs or OWB Paris, you would create a view that joins the two tables together and then map this view to the ROLAP cube.
For CWM2 details, please refer to the Oracle OLAP Reference.

The "Create New Film Roll" feature is no longer available. It is continuously grayed out. Has anyone experienced this before? And if so, how did you correct the problem?

You'll be more likely to get a quick and applicable answer if you ask in the iPhoto forums rather than here in the iTunes forum.
Good luck.
