Facttables "source" column.

Hi dear experts,
I was just wondering, if why is there a source column in the fact tables?
i hace looked on the BPC help but i cant find answers.
Thanks, in advance.
Benniejay

Hi,
Its on BPC 5.x and on other versions.,
Facttables are the tables where they stored data that is used by OLAP to process the aggregated data.
in BPC there are 3 facttables.
tblFactCubename, tblWBFactCubename, tblFAC2Cubename.
and the columns on each tables are the dimensions on each CUBE.
now, my question is what is the use of the Source Column on the FactTables?
Thanks,
BennieJay

Output Column does not have a matching source column in the schema

Hi Everyone,
Can you please help me in this. Already an ETL is loading the data from AS400 TO SQL server. I need to add a new
column. In the Source (OLEDB source) am pulling the data from AS400 using ADO.NET connection manager.
New column is added in AS400. To bring the new column from AS400, I added column name in the query in OLEDB source. Test connection is good. In the Source editor, when I click on preview it gives me the values of the new column and if I click on build
new query also it gives me values for the new column.
After mapping the columns and refreshing the data in OLEDB destination, I don't see any errors or warnings.
But when I start executing the package it throws me the below error.
Error: The output column (4659) does not have a matching source column in the schema.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: "component (2861)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
I need suggestion on this.
Thanks
Veeresh

Hi Veeresh,
As per my understanding, this error happens when the OLE DB Source component cannot find the corresponding source column in the database table. Possible reason is the the column name in the external database table has changed or
the column has been removed.
To verify this issue, please go to the Advanced Editor for OLE DB Source Input and Output Properties tab to see the External columns and Output columns. To fix it, please refresh the data or recreate the Source.
Thanks,

CD Does Not Appear in Source Column

When using iTunes 4.7.1, inserting an audio CD would automatically open iTunes, and the CD would appear in the Source column.
I just upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2, and I've double checked the CD & DVD System Preferences, and went to: iTunes/Preferences/Advanced/Importing and selected: On CD Insert: Show CD.
I've tried several different commercial CD's and not one shows up or can be played.
I've checked other posts, and there seem to be others with this exact same problems, but I haven't seen any advice that works.
Does anybody have a better solution than a downgrade to 4.7.1?

I realize the reasonableness of your suggestion, but creating a new user means I won't even recognize my computer. Even if this restores functionality to iTunes 7.0.2, then what will I do?
I MAY wind up with a functioning iTunes, but I may not, and even if it does work, nothing else will.I'll be spending days to get my computer back,and theniTunes 7.0.2 will all of a sudden stop working, just as it has for many others.
I've already downgraded 4.7.1, which I fortunately saved as .zip.It doesn't look as nice, but at least it plays CD's,and has all the other features I need. Other than looks, I haven't figured out what the latest version will do for me.

Retrieving Source Column name for a target

Hi
I have a requirement where in if an interface errors out because of some constraint violation in the target column, the error message should contain the following details
a. One lined Error message (Not with the ORA codes and complete details)
b. The source column mapped to the tarteg column that has violated the constraint.
c. The exact row where the error has occured while transferring the data.
I am using IKM SQL Control Append and as per the requirement the Flow Control is set to 'No'
Kindly help me resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hi Nidhish,
You can configurate all those information using a ODI constraint (type "User Constraint") at target datastore.
Did you already try it?

Different measures use same source column but gives different values in SSAS project

I've inherited a SSAS project. I'm currentlig gaining knowledge, but do not understand this: There are 4 measures that get data from same source table and column. Example measures:
[Started]
[Processing]
[Processed]
[Finished]
All of them gets data from a table (view), and a column "Event_count" with just value 0 in each row. Usage of the measure is "Count of non-empty values".
Correctly all of these measures gives different values, but I don't understand how since they all go against the same source column. I thougt maybe they were defined in Calculated measures, but nothing there. Where or what else could be affecting this behavior?
Bonus information (problem): One of the measures is returning blank/empty, which is why started with this research at all.
Help anyone?
regards .r

Hi ,
I would ask if all the measures are under the same measure group ? It is important to know, since in the dimension usage we are creating relationships between dimensions and measure
groups .
Did you try the delete all the calculation's code and leave only the " CALCULATE ; " part ? Do the values change after deploying the slim script ?
Are all properties the same ? defaults & caching ?

About Query Data Source Columns property

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Oracle Forms version 10.1.0.2.
When I create a data block based on a table using Data Block Wizard, the block's Query Data Source Columns property is automatically populated with column definition entries corresponding to the columns of the base table.
I tried making changes to these entries, for example by changing the data types to wrong data types or even deleting them, and I found that those changes had no effect on the block at all. The form was still working as I wanted.
Please explain what is exactly the role of the block's Query Data Source Columns property.
Thank you very much.
p.s: The F1 key help says "The Query Data Source Columns property is valid only when the Query Data Source Type property is set to Table, Sub-query, or Procedure". So, please explain in each context of Query Data Source Type.

p.s: The F1 key help says "The Query Data Source Columns property is valid only when the Query Data Source Type property is set to Table, Sub-query, or Procedure". So, please explain in each context of Query Data Source Type.
IMHO those properties are very self-explaining: It is the data source of the block, or in other terms: how it is populated.
Table means the data block is based on a table and subsequently will be populated by
select col1, col2, col3 from your_table
With sub-query the block will be populated with your subquery; forms will issue
select col1, col2, col3 from (
-- this is your subquery
select col1, col2, col3 from tab1, tab2 where [....]
With Procedure in short you'd have a stored procedure which returns a ref cursor and the block will be populated by the ref cursor.
As for your question about the name: this actually should matter; the default is NULL which means that there needs to be a column which has the exact name as the item so in the above sample with table the item associated with your_table.col1 should be named col1. If it isn't the property should be named like the column. If this property also doesn't reflect the name this shouldn't work IMO.
cheers

How to identify the source column and source table for a measure

Does anyone have a query that I can use to positively identify the source column and source table for a cube measure in an SSAS cube? Visual Studio shows ID, Name, and Source, but it is nearly worthless in a large cube and database.
Also - the same for a dimension would be great.
If no query exists for this, can someone please explain how to find the source column/table for a measure and for a dimension?
Thanks.

DMVs don’t expose the DataSourceView content. AMO is much better suited for object model operations like
this than the DMVs. PowerShell is also sometimes an option, but in this case C# code would be much easier because analyzing the contents of the DataSourceView is much easier using the .Net DataSet class.
Hope this helps.

Dynamical mapping of source columns to target columns

Hi,
I have a requirement in ODI,
In source system data having like below
Case1: Column1 having the account related data.
case2: Column2 having the account related data.
But in target area I have only one fixed column called account. Now my aim is to populate the account column with case1 and case2 data with in a single execution that means I need assign above source columns at run time.
How can I achieve this? Please help me on this.
Does ODI have any API’s for above type of logic? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Giri

Hi,
I am not sure, if I completely understand your question. Depending on your target technology (e.g. Oracle), you could use something like the following in the target mapping:
case
when (case1) then column1
when (case2) then colunm2
else column3
end
If you set this mapping to be executed on the target, then itshould work.

Materialized view source columns

Hi to all.
How can I extract the all source columns of a mview? In the user_mview_keys are presented only the single source columns, but not those who are included in expression. For example:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mview1 AS
SELECT emp_no, d.dname||e.ename FROM dept d INNER JOIN emp e ON (d.deptno=e.deptno)
So, in this case, in the user_mview_keys we can see only the emp_no field but not the dname and ename fields. Is there a way to extract this information from Oracle data dictionary without parsing the materialized view query? Also, is there a way to extract all columns that are included in the WHERE clause of the materialized view query?
Any help will be appreciate!

Hey,
Try:
select * from all_tab_columns where table_name=UPPER(mv_name)Oracle treats the mv as a table.
for the other request (getting the where part) - cant think on anything but only to parse the query string.
Amiel.

Mapping-source column(for the measure)disappears after pressing apply

I am using AWM 11.2.0.2.0B and Oracle 11.2.
I have successfully mapped my dimensions. Then I defined a stored measure, say DISTANCE and I want to map it to a column in my database. When I click the "apply" button, the mapping disappears! And I can not find any error messages. I have tried mapping another column to it (defining a different measure), still the mapping disappears after applying.
The type of the data(measure) is number(22) in my database, so I choose Data type: Number, Precision:22 and Scale=0 in my cube(storage section) and I check "use compression", therefore the measure will inherit the mentioned data type (of cube). I also tried using integer as the data type, no success. I first doubted that it expects some different type of data to be mapped, but seems that is not the problem. Every column I put there as my source column disappears after clicking on apply!
Any idea what the problem is or where I should find a log?

Match renamed column with source column name

I have imported data into powerpivot from Analysis Services using MDX statement. After I imported data, I renamed several columns directly in powerpivot. Now, when somebody looks at this, he/she is not able to match the current list of columns with attributes
in MDX since some of them are renamed in powerpivot.
Same applicable for custom SQL Queries.
Is there an easy way to find match between source columns and power pivot columns if some columns are renamed in power pivot.

Sathya,
Is this still an issue?
Thanks!

Re: source column condition

Yes you can keep it as input only port.

i have Two columns in the source, one is for condition and other one is for returning the records. and in the target i have 3 columns, each target column should be mapped by one same source column based on the other source column condition. Example: Source Has Columns Expenses, TYPE; Target Has Columns X, Y,Z scenario:1. If TYPE='A' then Load Expenses to Target column X2. If TYPE='B' then Load Expenses to Target column Y3. If TYPE='C' then Load Expenses to Target column Z what's the best way to implement this, which transformation should i use, i am also mapping other columns which are pass through from source to target along above columns.

SSDT - Using a SharePoint list data feed as source - "column does not exist in the rowset" error

Hey guys!
So, I want to use a SharePoint list data to create a cube/tabular model, in order to make a complex analysis in PPS using MDX.
To create the tabular model, I'm using the SS Data Tools, and importing a feed from the respective SharePoint list (using the _vti_bin/listdata.svcextension and then selecting the list(s) I wanna to import).
Everything looks fine and smooth, I can select and preview the data in the table import wizard, but in the end, when importing, I always get this error IF the table has one or more row of data (if the table is empty, it's ok...) - the <...>
column doesn't exist in the rowset.
(Curiously, when I have the same procedure in PowerPivot for Excel, I have no problems, everything works fine. The problem is that then I get again errors if I try to create a tabular model on SSDT importing a PowerPivot file).
Here's the error:
Had you already tried this in SSDT? Are you experiencing the same trouble?
Best regards, and thanks in advance!

I noticed something else too.
I can't process Tabular Models on both SSDT and SSMS (2012), but I can process Tabular Models created on PowerPivot.
I tried to create a Data Feed connection on PowerPivot, and it was successfully created. However, if restoring the PowerPivot Tabular DB on my SSAS Tabular instance and processing (full) the model through SSMS, it won't work.
Is there anything different on PowerPivot and SSDT related with Partitioning or connections to the data sources?
Regards,
Jorge

Update:
When trying to Restore a PowerPivot file on my SSAS Tabular Server and full process the model:
The operation failed because the source does not contain the requested column. You can fix this problem by updating the column mappings.
More Details:
The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb' in table 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
X is the first column of the source table, no matter if I chose others on the PowerPivot table.
When trying to import data from a data feed using SSDT:
The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_ee6be81f-2235-4113-b404-cfcb20647a38' in table 'X_ee6be81f-2235-4113-b404-cfcb20647a38'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
X is the first chosen column to import.
