Formatting for cubes and dimensions

Is it possible to use different formatting on the cubes and dimensions in the subject area in OBIEE? We're on 11.1.1.6.2. Our report writers want to easily be able to differentiate between the 2. Can we make the cubes bold or use a different font or text/background color than the dimensions?

It must be a security issue.

Import metadata cubes and dimensions

I have defined a set of dimensions and cubes using AWM in a 10g r2 database.
I want to import these definitions to OWB 10.2. I use the import wizard and connect to the database and schema where the AW is defined, the cubes and dimensions are not listed in the import wizard for importing. Why is these objects not listed?
Under the tables I can see the aw$ tables of the AWs defined using AWM.

I remember reading it's still not possible in OWB current version, but it'll be possible in future releases.
In the OWBRel2 FAQ doc. there's some significant info:
"Is it possible to import OLAP dimensions and cubes built using Analytic Workspace Manager?
There will be no Out of the box functionality to support this. However, there will be an Expert than can be downloaded from the Warehouse Builder exchange on OTN. For more information visit the Exchange website at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/OWBexchange.html
All utilities posted on the Exchange are not part of any Warehouse Builder production release and are, therefore, not supported
Is the OLAP support consistent with the AWM interface. i.e. if I create a mapping in OWB, can I see / edit it in AWM?
Currently, if OLAP objects are modeled and deployed from OWB, the mappings are not visible within AWM. This will be resolved by the 10.2.0.3 database patchset, which will be out shortly."

Create Cubes and Dimension Help

Hi Experts,
I am using +11.1.0.7.0 version of Oracle Databse and OWB Client+. I am trying to create Dimensions and Cubes using the OWB tool but everytime unsuccessfull.
1. I tried using the exisiting Dimesnions and Cubes in the SH Schema as a base. However when i deployed it gave me the error.
2. I tried to use the examples from the Oracle Library website
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/11g/r1/owb/owb11g_update_extend_knowledge/less5_modeling_target/less5_modeling_target.htm
But trying that too produce me some errors.
So the other way round i have now installed AWM (Analytic Workspace Manager) which is easily makes Cubes and Dimensions and also exports to the OBIEE Repository. But for some reasons i have to again switch back to OWB. Is there more documents which describes each and every step while preparing the Dimensions.
Regards,+
Ravi Remje+

Hi Ravi
There are OBEs which include dimensional object creation (the 10gR2 one is applicable to 11gR1);

Can't view my Cube and Dimension Data with the Cube Viewer

I'm new in using OWB, i'm using Oracle 10g release1 with OWB R2 also Oracle WorkFlow 2.6.3.
When studying with the steps from the OTN pages (start01, flat-file02, relational-wh-03, etl-mappings, deployingobjects, loading-warehouse and bi-modeling)
the loading was success, i guess...
But when I want to see the data in the cube and dimension, an error occurs.
It says

How to get Cube and Dimension ID from SSAS Database programatically

Hi All,
I am processing one SSAS cube from SSIS package and processing the cubes dynamically .For this am putting the Cube ID ,Cube name, Dimension ID, Dimension Name in a table and generating the XML programmatically.
I can right click the properties of the dimension and cube and will get the ID information. But is there any way we can get the ID information programmatically .So that On the fly I will get the information and create the XML without storing
the these information in table.
We are using 2008 R2
Thanks in advance
Roshan

Hi,
Here is the C# code you want. Try it and see.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using AMO = Microsoft.AnalysisServices;
namespace ConsoleApplication4
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
AMO.Server oServer = new AMO.Server();
oServer.Connect(@"Provider=MSOLAP.5;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorksDW;Data Source=DEVWKS6\MSSQLSERVERMDX");
foreach (AMO.Database db in oServer.Databases)
foreach (AMO.Cube cube in db.Cubes)
Console.WriteLine(System.String.Format("Cube Name : {0} Cube ID : {1}", cube.Name, cube.ID));
foreach (AMO.CubeDimension dim in cube.Dimensions)
Console.WriteLine(System.String.Format("Dimension Name : {0} Dimension ID : {1}", dim.Name, dim.ID));
System.Console.WriteLine("");
System.Console.WriteLine("");
oServer.Disconnect(true);
oServer.Dispose();
System.Console.ReadLine();
If you know your target SSAS Database Name, then you could use LINQ to narrow your search. Take a look into the following Code.
AMO.Database db = oServer.Databases.Cast<AMO.Database>().Where<AMO.Database>(SSASdb => SSASdb.Name == "AdventureWorksDW").FirstOrDefault();
foreach (AMO.Cube cube in db.Cubes)
Console.WriteLine(System.String.Format("Cube Name : {0} Cube ID : {1}", cube.Name, cube.ID));
foreach (AMO.CubeDimension dim in cube.Dimensions)
Console.WriteLine(System.String.Format("Dimension Name : {0} Dimension ID : {1}", dim.Name, dim.ID));
System.Console.WriteLine("");

Where does one manage date formats for display and input

the user specification is that dates be displayed as YYYY-MON-DD. Is there a config or properties file which contains the date format for display? Is there a calendar drop-down that can be positioned next to a date input field for a question on a screen?
Thanks,
Allan

Hi Allan,
Curious why the rule project wasn't created with "English (Canada)" initially? If your project is English (UK) with the default configurations for that locale, then I assume your currency values are appearing in OWD with the GBP symbol (£) instead of a dollar sign ($)?
As for the impact of switching… I highly recommend getting confirmation from the OPA Dev team before doing it, but in the meantime, if you wanted to experiment on your own with a separate test rulebase (as opposed to whatever formal rulebase you're working on), here are my observations from an initial look… (FYI, I'm an experienced OPA rulie, but I'm non-technical and not in the Dev team, so best to check with them!)
I poked around the language parser files and saw that English (UK) has an English (UK) verb list, whereas English (Canada) uses the English (US) verb list. The vast majority of verbs are identical in all the variations of English, however, there are a couple which differ. So if you've used any verbs which have a different spelling between the 2 lists, there may be some attribute text to tweak, e.g.
- English (UK): the person travelled to Australia
- English (US): the person traveled to Australia
- English (UK): the person cancelled the reservation
- English (US): the person canceled the reservation
I saw some other different files between English (Canada) vs English (UK), but didn't notice anything in them which I'd expect to impact the rulebase.
As for how it might impact other components:
* screens file and the properties file – May be some tweaking depending on how you addressed the verb spelling issue above.
* regression test files – May be some tweaking depending on how you addressed the verb spelling issue above.
* messages.(locale).properties – The default messages.(locale).properties file appears to be based on the Language setting of the Project. I just tested this and OWD used a different messages.(locale).properties file when I changed the Project Language (OPM | File menu | Project Properties | Common Properties | General | Language).
* Siebel Connector – don't know what the impact would be.
OPA Dev team – Can you review what I've said here? And add any relevant further detail?
Cheers,
Jasmine

Bi 7.0 for cube and master data steps

hi friends,
can u give me step by step comparision between bi 7.0 and bi 3.0 for cube ods and master data, ple explaing me what are the steps difference for those in bi 7.0 .
and reporting is same or any difference in bi 7.0 .
other than sap.help.com material, if u have any other or any screen shots. ple send me.
Thanking u
suneel.

what abt master data, in master data we are using only transfer rules, here also we are using transformation and dtp again.
Yes we would be using transformations and DTP's on the masterdata too. but the system would prompt to make IO a infoprovider in order to use the new functionality. There is another work around for it, but we can discuss it later, orelse search the forum for that option, i have replied to couple of questions regarding that.
what abt reporting any things other than calculated kf restricted kf, filters rows columns, free chaststics, variables, any chnages in screen.
The basic functionality of all the above mentioned objects havent changes, and the query designer itself, there are hell a lot of changes in the appearance and it will take a while to get used to it and find your way with all the functionalities.
i have doubt bps menas businees planning simulation what is this, bec i have idea we can use transactional cube and transactional ods for write accress for planninmg also
BPS is something I have no clue abt... (you dont see me answering in Business planning forum)

Format for Macintosh and Windows

Is it possible at all to have my iPod formated for macintosh but still be able to use it as a hard drive on a windows machine?

Mark, I have some questions about this. I just installed a new unformatted 60GB drive into my old 4G iPod. I am on a Win XP Pro platform so I did not want to use the NTFS formatting option before running Updater. I installed a trial copy of Macdrive, but when I try to Mac format that drive it says "An error occurred while examining Removable Disk (J:): Unspecified error". The LCD says it's in Disk Mode but I don't have the checkmark; it still shows the flashing Do Not Disconnect. If I try to Reset and put it manually into disk mode while it's connected via USB to my computer that doesn't work either. I have do disconnect it. I can then get the checkmarked Disk Mode symbol, but the moment I hook it back up via USB I get the Do Not Disconnect.

Formatting for mac and windows

Is it possible to have mi iPod formatted for both mac and windows? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks

Now you can be 100% sure, StarDeb!
As another of the old windows guys, I had the same question when I made the change. Windows format works just swimmingly with Macintosh computers. Can't say the same for the other way around.
In fact, the iPod I had at the time, a 15 GB 3G (the one with the red buttons, and still the best looking of the lot), is still formatted for windows even though I have not had a Windows computer for several years now.
So enjoy the Powerbook (just bought a new to me G4 iBook, myself) without fear that the iPod will be a stumbling iBlock.

A universal video format for iOS and Android?

Hello
I have open the Folio that I have originally made for the iPad on a Samsung Galaxy Tab and I see a lot of differences in the way videos are played.
It seems that for the iPad I need to always use the H264 codec, but on a Samsung galaxy tablet this is not the good way to do it. After various tests I see that I must use the F4V format (which uses the H264 codec) in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5
The problem is that F4V with the H264 codec can't be read on the iPad.
Thus...
- Or there is only one method to create video files that can be read on iOS and Android and it would be great if somebody can tell me which app and which presets to use...
- Or we must always create two different video exports, one for iOS and the other one for Android.
In DPS' s user manual, this issue is not covered.
Thank you.

What do I need to do to have an answer to a basic question and a necessary issue ? To buy and Adobe DPS Pro licence ? ;-)
Well, you should also know that in addition to getting your questions answered more promptly, Adobe has top secret 'DPS Pro/Enterprise Lounges' in several major cities. These are not unlike 1st Class Lounges that can be found in airlines. You get free beer, pretzels, and free wifi.
Okay, now getting serious:
1. HAVE YOU TRIED HANDBRAKE TO ENCODE THE VIDEO? If not, stop whatever you're doing and give it a try. Conversion software is not all the same. Adobe's H.264 is better than it's ever been, but it's a pretty well-known fact that Handbrake is the BEST encoder out there for mp4/H.264. Relying on Adobe to always give you satisfactory results for video conversion is FOLLY.
2. I've read in several places the Galaxy has trouble with mp4 files. There's not a million threads with this news; actually only a handful. Nonetheless, the news is out there. I created mp4 files for viewing on a Motorola Xoom and they played FLAWLESSLY. That's the trouble with the Android platform - every manufacturer is free to mess with the code and put their own wrapper over the OS. Things get messed up, and consistency of platform becomes a problem.

IPhone number formatting for Ireland and the UK now supported!

I was pretty impressed to discover that the iPhone 2.2 update now supports telephone number formatting in Ireland and the UK.
So, for example an Irish mobile number will be displayed as (086) XXX XXXX instead of just 086XXXXXXX. Seems to work flawlessly for any number I've tried, including special rate like freephone 1 800 etc.
The same is now also true for the UK, it displays the numbers correctly formatted now too!
It certainly makes things easier to read!

Best file formats for graphics and photos for iWeb

What is the best format to transfer files from PDF's, JPEGS, Illustrator CS3 & InDesign for best resolution display in iWeb

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. JPEGS should have the sRGB color profile. I don't know of anything special for PDFs. You might compress them to make them load quicker when viewed but those that I've added I've not done anything to them. For Illistrator and InDesign it probably would be best to take screenshots of them and use those. I don't think iWeb can import those formats but since I don't use either I could be mistaken. All graphics in web sites are displayed at 72 dpi so having large graphic files are not needed. Resize to approximately the size you want to display on the web page at 72 dpi and use that.

Best format for UK and USA viewing

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I have to film the same 25 minute instruction video for 2 different country viewings, UK and USA. Client has requested that they wish the footage to be viewable EITHER in the maximum amount of players i.e DVD players, PC's and Macs, OR just for PC & Macs.
Q: would this alter my choice of finished format?
My plan is to export to DV PAL for the UK and then convert the PAL version to NTSC (as per some previous threads. This I assume would be the normal workflow for the "maximum" viewing option and will play in DVD players and Pc's etc.
If the content is for viewing on PC & Mac, should I be considering a non region specific format like Quicktime or Window Media Player which will play in UK and USA? or am I being daft?
Filmed in HDV 1080 on Sony Z1, video with separate VO for UK and USA added after. Lastly re the VO would it be best to convert the video footage to NTSC and add the VO after or VO while it is still in PAL and covert afterwards. ? sorry for the multi questions in one thread, but I am confused by what seems a basic requirement!
Message was edited by: mr bluefin

Export your finished PAL master and have it converted to NTSC at a facility. You can do it yourself with a variety of software, but it takes ages and is often poor quality if you don't have much experience.
Make two DVDSP projects, 1 for PAL, 1 for NTSC and burn standard DVDs from each. You can't have both on the same disc. Don't put region coding on the discs.
Don't be tempted to increase the bit rate, just because you have the space on the discs - this can cause some players to stutter. Stick with the Compressor default values.
Computers don't care if a disc is NTSC or PAL.
Most stand-alone PAL players -but not all, will play NTSC discs.

HDD formatting for OSX and Windows

How can I format a HDD so that it is readable and writable from under both windows and osx?

My "problem" is fairly simple.
My brother gave me 2 200GB SATA disks from his Windows machine with his data and a new 500GB WD MyBook external HDD and asked me to move stuff from his 2 200GB disks onto the new external 500GB drive. I copied the data from his 200GB disks onto my Mac, then formatted the 500GB drive like I would for OSX and copied it. He could not read it. I re-formatted it to FAT32 and could not copy much. Then I formatted it to NTFS using some very very old laptop I found but could not copy anything onto it. HAHA. So now I am stuck with 400GB of his data on my HD and I need to not only give him his data, but also rid my HD of 400GB of his stuff.
I tried doing the MacFuse and NTFS-3G but it did not work. I don't have access to his computer so I can't install anything onto it.
