Filtering values in BMM layer

Hi All,
can we filter values or add filter condition for logical column in the BMM layer, i could see we can add where condition only in LTS of the logical table, i could see we could use FILTER display function but it can be used only with measure, i want to filter store values which is a dimension, is there any way round we could do this without creating any extra aliases and extra logical table.
Thanks,
Sreekanth

hi,
1)Create one session variable by writing a query in initialization block like
select 'order' ,order_name from order_dim where order_name like '%Abc%'
2) Variable to be row-wise-initialization
3) In report pull order_name and click on Filter-->Advanced-->convert to sql
give condition like
SRC_ORDER_LINES.ORDER_ID = (VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.order))
Let me know if this doesn't work
Thanks,

Drilldown in answers without creating dimensional hierarchy in BMM layer?

Hello All,
HELP! I have a main report like this:
title: Region EAST (prompted field- user entered: North, South.... )
heading: Departments Total Sales
rows: Meat (01) 500,000.00
Produce (02) 100,000.00
Organic Items(03) 250,000.00
Users wanted to ClLICK on either Meat, Produce or Organic Items field to get the detailed report on that particular dept. and would prefer to Click on the desired field than using department as a prompted field. :(
I did try to use the navigate function on Departments column to get to the detail report, but the results came back with ALL departments. Is it possible to drill down in answers without creating the dimensional hierarchy in BMM layer? If so, please show me how to create the link that would navigate to the detailed report when users CLICK on desired department, ex: Meat (01)? BTW, detailed report may came from different resources (data is in the detailed table...) and I still need to pass the region variable to the detailed report.
I really need a big help on this.
Thanks All in advance!

Hi Matt,
thank you for looking into this problem.
I did use the Navigate function on the 1st report, create a prompted filter on the depatment column (second report) but user can only click on the high lighted Department column header (on the first report) which navigated to the 2nd report and it displayed detail of all departments. Since users cannot click on a particular deptpartment, therefore I cannot pick up the value (01) for Meat department to pass thru the 2nd report. Is the Navigate function just works only when you click on the header column not on the data values in that column? do I need to set any other function to the department column on the 2nd report beside the filter?
thanks for your help!

Problem with BMM layer warning messages.

Hi,
I have modelled with the following tables in BMM layer.
Dimension tables: Regions,Countries,Departments, locations, Employees, jobs, job history
Fact table: HR Facts (measured columns like salary, max salary, min salary, commission)
The model is consistent with the following warnings:
Logical dimension table REGIONS has a source REGIONS that does not join to any fact source.
Logical dimension table DEPARTMENTS has a source DEPARTMENTS that does not join to any fact source.
Logical dimension table COUNTRIES has a source COUNTRIES that does not join to any fact source.
Logical dimension table LOCATIONS has a source LOCATIONS that does not join to any fact source.
and also in the answers section (Presentation services) i could not able to view data, it's giving the following error (when i am trying to display REGION NAME field values)
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: REGIONS.REGION_NAME. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000).
I could not able to trace the problem where exactly is to be fixed.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. Ideally that works out without any hierarchies. But the problem with which i was facing is somewhat different.
Let me explain the problem scenario exactly:
I have an employee, region tables in physical layer. Employee table has SALARY Column. Region table dont have any
join with Employee table. In BMM layer i have created a fact table "HR Facts" and crated a logical fact column SALARY.
The logical fact table source is Employee table. I have drag dropped Region table into BMM layer and joined with HR
Facts table. While consistency check its given a warining message: Logical dimension table REGIONS has a source
REGIONS that does not join to any fact source.
What is the problem exaclty?

Case statement problem for a column in BMM layer

Hi friends.
In physical layer I've a "cardio" column whose data type is INT, and two values comes here either 0 or 1.
I need to replace 1 by 'YES' and 0 by "NO'.
For that I changed the datatype of "Cardio" column to CHAR. and in BMM layer I'm using this formula
CASE WHEN "A Analysis"."C Report"."CARDIO" = '1' THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END
But this is giving me "Invalid Expression" error.
Please help me correct this error.
Help appreciated.

Hi,
Your are probably using the column Cardio as a 'source' and as a 'target'.
So you have to duplicate the cardio column (right mouse click and Duplicate option) in the business model and then apply the formula CASE WHEN "A Analysis"."C Report"."CARDIO" = '1' THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END
That should work. It is not even necessary to change datatype of Cardio, OBI will handle this for you.

Regarding BMM Layer MultiLTS

I have
D1 and F2 which is no join between them.
But I have D2 which is joined with F1 and F2.
so, I made an logical fact table and add F1 and F2, then join with both D1 and D2
Create the Hierarchies for both D1 and D2 and set the content as detail for both dimensions and both F1 and F2
And I set the fact column logica levels as Detaiil for the dimension which as confirmed (D2), as I am not able to see other dimension at fact column.
I created a report from D1 and fact column from f2 and getting the below error.
Error Details

We have so many other facts as well in BMM layer. is it required to set detail level for all fact tables?
Could you please let me know the steps i created are correct or not. If not please suggest me how to do it. It seems problem with content level? It is urgent.

Shaik.

Hi,
I have created the Logical fact table as mentioned and added 2 Facts to LTS and also brought some measures.
But I have non confirmed dimension PRODUCT with F2.
I didn't set any thing at dimension LTS content and I set content for F2 as Total for Product
For the fact table measures, set the levels with the non-conforming dimensions at the Grand Total logical level for each measure
I am getting consistency error, Fact Table functionally dependent upon Total level, but detailed child level has associated columns from that same table or a more detailed table.
If i remove the level at measure column in Fact table then no error but while running the report, i am still
getting nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request ., if i include the column from Non confirmed dimension.
If i include measure and Non confirmed dimension then i am not getting error but the value of measure is 0. If i include one flag column which is at Fact table, then getting the above error.
I am not sure what to do. if any body wants the screenshot I would send it out.

BMM layer creation (Star Schema Physical Layer) - What to add/not add?

Hi All,
I am just looking for any general feedback on the thought/question below.
I am setting out on creating my first BMM layer and trying to determine what I need to do in this layer that will be different and add value from what I already did in the physical layer. My data model is already defined as a star schema within my data mart source. So in the physical layer I have my facts imported along with the dimensions and I have joined them together as needed. Here is what I think I will setup as I move into the BMM layer:
1. I will add heirarchies as needed to enable drill down within my reports
2. I will need to add my calculations/measures to allow for any type of metric to be returned through a request in Answers
3. I do not see a large need to create logical tables (at least not yet) based on multiple physical source tables as my source is already a star schema and dimensionally modeled. For users that also already source a star schema at the physical layer .. do you find that you do a lot of logical table creation/mapping to add functionality or does your BMM look a lot like you Physical Layer?
Other than steps 1 and 2, I am not really sure how much additional manipulation I might do from the Physical to BMM layer since my Physical is already a star schema. Am I missing anything? Obviously everyone's data model and circumstances are different but I wasn't sure if maybe there were some good thoughts on what I might be missing (if anything)?
One last question .. I am not currently planning to use any aliases at the Physical Layer but I do plan to rename the tables at the presentation layer to be more business verbage like. Why are others using aliases?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Alastair, thanks for the advice. I'll definitely keep that in mind as I start to build out the BMM.
One question/issue I just ran into as I was wrapping up my Physical Layer mapping. When I check for global consistency, I am getting an error that is complaining that I have multiple joins defined between the same two tables (which I do). This is because I have the following setup:
TBL_A_FACT
F_ID_HIT
F_HIT_DESC
F_ID_MISSED
F_MISSED_DESC
TBL_B_DIM
F_ID
F_DESC
Table A joins to Table B in two ways:
TBL_A_FACT.F_ID_HIT = TBL_B_DIM.F_ID
TBL_A._FACT.F_ID_MISSED = TBL_B_DIM.F_ID
The F_IDs can be either hit or missed on any given fact record and the total distinct set exist in the dimension.
When I define two foreign key joins in the physical layer based on the relationship above and check Global Consistency, I get an error saying that "TBL_A and TBL_B have multiple joins define. Delete duplicate foreign keys if they exist" and it is listed as an error. I guess this makes sense because when the two tables are used in a request OBIEE would need to know how to join them (using the hit or missed field). What is the best approach for handling this..
- Should I define TBL_A twice in the physical layer as:
TBL_A (Alias TBL_A_HIT)
F_ID_HIT
F_ID_HIT_DESC
TBL_A (Alias TBL_A_MISSED)
F_ID_MISSED
F_ID_MISSED_DESC
Or do something like the above in the BMM layer?
Thanks for the help!
K
And then establish the relationships using these separate tables?

Sum Aggregation Error in Physical & BMM Layer in OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11

Hi everyone,
I'm using OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11 as the data source. I'm using Sample Basic database from the Essbase as my data source. If I'm using the hierarchy for the measures (so I don't flatten the measures), and when I changed the aggregation in both physical and BMM layer from Aggregate_External to Sum, I can't create a report at all from the Answers.
Does anyone encounter the same thing? Any ideas/solution about this? Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Deepak,
When I picked the "Basic - measure" alone, I got this error.

When I picked the "Gen1,Measures" alone from the measure dimension, I got this error:

But when I queried the dimensions one by one (only single dimension each), no error was shown.
This only happens if I use Sum in the physical and BMM layer. If I use External_Aggregation, these errors do not happen. And if I flatten the measures, these errors also do not happen.

Issue with filtering values in Web Template

I am facing a problem with filtering values in Web Template.
I have two queries based on two different data providers. One query is getting data from an Info set and the other from a Remote Cube. I have a single navigational block to filter values for both these queries but the change gets reflected only on the variable of one query. The other reflects no change and shows all the values irrespective of the filter condition.
I have tried the option of setting in the properties of the navigational block, affected data providers as both your data providers.But no effect.
Can a single navigational block be used to filter values on 2 queries which are built on different data providers? If yes, can someone please tell me how it is possible?
Kindly let me know how can I make the changes appear in both the queries?I am using SAP BI 3.5.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Peng,
Frank also published a fix for 11g R1: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/rc_expand_menu_on_mouse_over.html
function showMenu(event){
var adfRichMenu = event.getSource();
adfRichMenu.getPeer().show(null,true);
}This should work.

How to determine the logical Keys of logical fact table in BMM layer?

Hello guys
I'd like to know more about how to know what columns of the logical fact table should be used as key in BMM layer. How OBIEE behaving differently when different keys are selected?
In my situation, I have 1 fact table that physically joins to 20 dimensions in physical layer. Therefore, in physical layer, this fact table has about 20 foreign keys but no primary keys..
In the logical layer, this fact table is logically joined to the same group of dimension tables. So in this case, how do I know what columns in logical fact table I should use as keys?
Please advice
Thanks

thanks for the reply...
The interesting thing I notice is that, when I start using fragmentation with the fact tables in its LTS, if not primary key is defined in the logical fact table, then I will be getting errors:
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14023] None of the fact sources for columns are compatible with the detail filter []. (HY000)
When I create the key by choosing random columns from the fact table as the logical key columns, this error goes way and the correct SQL is generated according to the frag..
Because of such behavior, I'd really like to know how logical key really works in BMM layer.

Unable to create logical dimension in bmm layer

Hi all,
I am not able to create a logical dimension hierarchy in the bmm layer of the rpd.
when I right click on the table I am not able to find the create logical dimension option in the popup window.
could you please help me out in this?
In the logical table we have data from sql statement also.
Thanks!

Create Dimensions is only available if the selected logical table is a dimension table (defined by 1:N logical joins) and no dimension has been associated with this table.
To create a dimension automatically, the Administration Tool examines the logical
table sources and the column mappings in those sources and uses the joins between physical tables
in the logical table sources to determine logical levels and level keys.
Hope you have defined the Logical join in BMM before looking for this option. If joins are not defined, this option won't come.
Refer http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31770.pdf

Hope its useful

How to create logical fact table in BMM layer ?

Hello,
I have 3 Dimension table - 2 are in one schema and last is another schema. Using this 3 dimension tables, I need to create a logical fact table.
So, my question is whether we can create this fact table by joining these 3 dimension table which are in 2 different schema s ?
Thanks

Fiaz,
you are correct. We can use tables from different subject area to create a report. However, my question was related to rpd design. Sorry, I was not very clear about the queries earlier.
Here is the whole scenario in the physical layer of the rpd
Table name      Databse name      Connection pool name      Schema name
AV          AV_PXRPAM     AVAILABILITY          CRMODDEV
OUTAGE          AV_PXRPAM     AVAILABILITY          CRMODDEV
COMPANY          PXRPAM          PXRPAM_POOL          CRMODDEV
AV and OUTAGE have the joins already. I want to make a join between COMPANY with OUTAGE. And then I want to include a column from each of above tables to the logical fact table in the BMM layer. then I want to do a star schema with the logical fact table to the above 3 tables in the BMM layer.
Thanks

Left outer join usage in obiee BMM layer

Hi All,
We lately started using left outer join in our bmm layer , to meet the requirement expectation .
problem : We have two tables Fact A , Dim B . There is an join int_id column to join them . Problem is... in table Dim B , we have 3 millions rows of Int_id and in fact table it is loaded for only data available(1 million rows).
Due to this we are dropping rows in the report ..as it is only getting data where fact.int_id = dim.int_id. So we used left outer join to solve to one particular report .(we know we can do ETl to load dummy int_id and make it null , but it is huge effort ..so we did left outer join)
These days , same kind of reports are in requirement . if i keep on doing same left outer join to meet the requirement in BMM layer ? is there any disadvantages due to this ? any performance degrade due to this ? please throw few lines on left outer join and its usage ?
Thanks,
Sri

Remodel your tables that might be a partition or any other way and follow in BI as per your new model.
Simply: Go for ETL kind of solution

How to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

how to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

Looks like the presentation column got Alias before your BMM changes, so in your case renaming logical column and deleting alias is not good to go.
Keep Alias

Tables icon displaying yellow in BMM layer.

Hi all,
When i was tring to drag drop tables from physical layer to BMM layer it's showing yellow icons.....
Scenario is as follows:
tables: EMP, DEPT, BONUS, SALGRADE.
I have created complex join in Physical layer between EMP and SALGRADE (condition is "EMP$".SAL BETWEEN "SALGRADE$".LOSAL AND "SALGRADE$".HISAL). Samething i have taken into BMM layer. 4 table icons showing yellow and checked for consistency..giving errors like there is no join of logical tables.
i have created join Physical layer will it not carry to BMM layer? Do i need to create same complex join in BMM layer? After creating the complex in BMM layer will those errors come again??
Please aswer to my questions..asap.

1. I have created complex join between EMP and SALGRADE in physical layer and i also manually created complex join in BMM layer....it did not come when i drag drop the schema from physical to BMM layer. Do we require to create manually again the complex join in BMM layer?Yes.

2. After creating complex join in BMM layer EMP table icon shows white others are yellow. Will complex join not suffice to make error free (Consistent) in BMM layer?
Is it require to join all tables (to maintain a star schema)?
You need to create complex joins to create a star schema in BMM layer. This is needed to create an error free BMM layer.
3. As per the requirement i dont require to join other two tables (DEPT, BONUS).
What is the purpose of these tables?

Please advice if i am wrong in the above cases....and also please answer to all my questions.
