Help - Deploying SNOWFLAKE dimensions to Discoverer

Hi all,
Have any of you been able to deploy snowflake dimensions to Discoverer? I am consistently getting a validation error that I cannot work around.
I have a multi level dimension implemented as a SNOWFLAKE (and I do not want to implement it as STAR for reasons in my other posts).
When I derive the dimension I get several item folders (i.e. MY_DIM, MY_LEVEL1TAB, MY_LEVEL2TAB, MY_LEVEL3TAB).
I can deploy the *TAB item folders without problem but when I try to deploy the MY_DIM item folder, I get a validation error message stating:
VLD-3565: The Join used to link Item Folder MY_LEVEL3TAB to other dependent Item Folders is no longer available.
If I check the MY_LEVEL3TAB item folder, there is a valid join defined there.
I have an SR entered also but would love to know if anyone is using SNOWFLAKE dimensions successfully with Discoverer.
Thanks in Advance,
Mike (who misses Informatica more everyday)

Thanks for the reply. I am able to deploy as snowflake to the database with few problems. I had to recreate my fact tables and then manually delete and readd them to the mappings to get them working (synchronize didn't work - it would leave some internal "junk" in the mapping that prevented the mapping from validating).
My only problem is deploying to Discoverer which seems like its going to be awhile before the bug is fixed by Oracle.
I went to the Snowflake primarily because updates to the STAR version of the dimension actually corrupted the data in many circumstances. Whenever I applied updates to any of the middle levels of the hierarchy, the parent columns would often get nulled out.

Create a snowflake dimension

Hi, how could I create a snowflake dimension based over more levels? In AWM there is the appropriate option in the mapping window but in OWB I can't find a similar solution, the creating dimension wizard just create a single table for my dimension...

Are you wanting to bind the dimension to an existing table?
OWB can generate a snowflake implementation, if you edit the dimension you have created and change the implementation to Snowflake in the Storage panel, and then perform and 'Object/Unbind' and then a 'Object/Bind' the (auto) bind will generate a snowflake based implementation if you have the Snowflake option selected. The wizard as mentioned is dumbed down and always creates a star based single table. It is also possible to manually bind your own tables to the OWB dimensional model.

Help - Dell 8300 Dimension Soundcard driver

+\ok, i have?this old Pc Dell 8300 Dimension. I recently upgraded my os to 32bits-win7 and it's working great except i have no sound.

How we use Surrogate Keys for snowflake dimension

Hi All,
my question is - How we use Surrogate Keys for snowflake dimension
i heard from some body Surrogate Keys only work with star schema.
please correct me if i wrong.
Regards,
Manish

Hi manishcal16PPS,
According to your description, you can only create natural key in your dimension. But it's not working when using surrogate key. Right?
In Analysis Services, the snowflake schema of the dimensions are represented by more than one dimension table in other words its takes multiple dimension tables to define a dimension. Surrogate key are just some extra, redundant, unique key based on the
natural key. So there's no direct relationship or some limitations between surrogate keys and snowflake schema.
In this scenario, since there's relationship between the two dimensions, you should create natural key. For using natural key or surrogate key. Please refer to an article below:
Surrogate Key vs. Natural Key
For understanding star/snowflake schema, please see:
Understanding Star and Snowflake Schemas

Hi Pavithra123,
As Saurabh said, the issue is related to user 'NT Service\MSOLAP$MEENA' is not able to access 'Adventure Works DW2012' database.
By default, the default account for AS services has only public permission to few databases. If you haven't change the AS services account, or haven't grant the permission for this account, then you cannot deploy the AS project to server.
So in your scenario, to avoid this issue, you can grant the SELECT permission for the default account for AS services to data source DB (Adventure Works DW2012). Or you can change the services account to this domain user who has the corresponding to the
data source DB.
Hope this helps.

Hi Gaurav,
Other applications used the same the datasource, which I used for this application,
are running fine.
I think there is some bug in the wlserver 6.1 to create the join table. I think
it is the time I should ask the bea wlserver 6.1.

Hi Siriam,
how did you build that ear? I hope you did not just import it from weblogic and then use it from the studio. You should open new projects and import the files to the studio and thenbuild a new ear.
There is an article about prtong here at SDN: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/porting a j2ee application to sap web application server.pdf
Please check there for details.

Benny

SSAS 2008 snowflake - dimensions with one-to-many relationship (NOT fact table) and hierarchy?

Hi, below is my data model for SSAS 2008 on snowflake schema.
Below is SQL Server DW tables:
DimStudent - StudentID [primarykey], StudentName, DateOfBirth, AddressID
DimStudentAddresses - AddressID [primarykey], StudentID [foreignkey], ddressLine1, AddressLine2, AddressType
FactEnrolment - StudentID, EnrolWeek, EnrolFees
So here FactEnrolement.StudentID is joined to DimStudent.StudentID column,
and relationship between DimStudent & DimeStudentAddresses is one to many I.e. one student can have multiple addresses like primary or secondry address.
To design snowflake schema in SSAS 2008 BIDS project :
[Question-1] how to join one-to-many dimensions (NOT fact table) Like DimStudent & DimAddresses?
[Question-2] At the end I want to have a single dimension only I.e. Student which should have both DimStudent & DimStudentAddresses tables attributes init. So I can create hierarchy from these two table into a single dimension? How
to do this?
Please reply with feedback particular to my above scenario as I refereed other MSDN forums but nothing solid I found.
Any STEP-BY-STEP guideline please. Many thanks.

I do not 'get' the basic snowflake / dimension / fact thing....

Hello,
sorry for total newB question, but if I have a table that is the most detailed level of data, do I have to create a datawarehouse copy of this that summarises it, or can OBIEE do that for me???
I have read the documents / by example stuff but I am struggling with this most basic thing, even though the more complex areas seem easy.
So what I am asking is, if I have a table, say 'user_trans' - do I have to write something in OWB or similar to turn this into a number of heavily summarised tables, say - user_trans_by_state, user_trans_by_period OR is there a way with the tool itself that I can take the basic table, import into the physical layer in the inventory and get OBIEE to do these summarisations for me - by generating dimensions??
So to illlustrate, say user_trans has =>
amount, user name, period, state
Do I have to write something in a DW to generate
sum(amount), user name - for user_trans
sum(amount), state - for trans_by_state etc
Or is there a way in the repository to do this, if so can someone please talk me through it in basic terms???
Thanx

Try the links detailed on an earlier answer....
Tutorials of OBIEE?, Oracle By Example OBIEE?
And on basic principles you are looking at a 1 => Many join in a star structure, the 1 being the centre or base of your star.
In terms of the rest, install yourself a test area and work through the Oracle By Example stuff - if you do not get the concept maybe it will sink in with the practise....
hope this helps - and good luck!

Hi,
As you are getting class cast exception try to include prefer-web-inf option with in weblogic.xml file and check again whether you are still facing similar issue or not.

Any tool to help deploy with Exploded Directory Format

I read through the "Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE" Getting Started document and saw the section on "Deploying with Exploded Directory Format". I would like to take the Petstore1.1.2 code and put it in exploded directory format so that OC4J can easily pick up changes to servlets and EJBs. But the codebase for Petstore is complicated enough that I would like to have a tool (possibly ant) that can automate the process of going from either the source directory or even ear file to the "exploded directory format".
Are there any tools available to help automate this process??

Never mind. This stuff is a lot simpler than I initially thought. There is no need for a tool because it is easy enough to do by hand.
Sorry for bothering everyone

Error in deploying a dimension

konw i'm trying to deploy the dimentions one of the dimensions was created successfully and the other one gave this error
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "OLAPSYS.CWM2_OLAP_TABLE_MAP", line 1384
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 18
any idea ????

Have you deployed the dependent table? Looks like you have not. Or it was changed from when it was last deployed and needs redeployed.
Cheers
David

Help deploy flash builder 4.5 project

I need help.
I am trying to deploy my first Flash Builder 4.5 project using the Zend framework. My application runs fine on my localhost (on my home computer). I am having trouble deploying it to my remote server.
The error I receive is ‘Send failed Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.BadVersion: : url:’…’
In the instructions it says that I need to modify the amf-config.ini file as follows:
    Uncomment zend_path and enter the absolute path for zend_path
    Set amf.production to true
    And update webroot with absolute path to the root on the server
Here is the contents of my amf_config.ini file:
[zend]
;set the absolute location path of webroot directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\www
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/www
webroot =/home4/hiddenp6/public_html/HPD/
;set the absolute location path of zend installation directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\PHPFrameworks\ZendFramework\library
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/PHPFrameworks/ZendFramework/library
zend_path =/home4/hiddenp6/public_html/HPD/ZendFramework/
[zendamf]
amf.production = true
amf.directories[]=HiddenPointeAdmin-debug/services
Thanks for any help you can offer...

You can disable the asdoc hover by toggling Preferences -> Flash Builder -> Editors -> ActionScript Code -> Show in text hovers.
