How to Model this?

Hello experts,
Need help modelling the below data into Cubes:
Sales Extractor:
Has 30 fields including:
Sales Doc: Sales Order Item: Config no.: Plant: Material: Customer Group: etc
85252            10 1                4525           0001   Engine     10
Options Extractor:
Sales Doc: Sales Order: Item Config No.: Characteristic Name: Char Value:
85252         10                 14525                Alternator                   ALT
85252         10                 14525                Alternator                   ALT02
85252         10                 14525                 Valve                         3
(there maybe up to 100 characteristics for each Sales Doc)
I have each extractor going into an ODS.
Now I am not sure what to do next?
For example I would want to run a report to see what Characteristics where sold to which customer group, so I need to bring both the ODS's together and then combine with a Cube (for Territory management from CRM).
Do you have any ideas how I could design this
Any help is much appreciated
Many Thanks
Helen

Hi there,
Thanks for your responses but I am still trying to get my head around how I would bring both extractors together
These are the extractors:
Sales Extractor
Has 30 fields including:
Sales Doc: Sales Order Item: Config no.: Plant: Material: Customer Group: etc
85252 10 1 4525 0001 Engine 10
Options Extractor:
Sales Doc: Sales Order: Item Config No.: Characteristic Name: Char Value:
85252 10 14525 Alternator ALT
85252 10 14525 Alternator ALT02
85252 10 14525 Valve 3
Want to bring both together so that I can see the sales details per option
eg How many ALT's are sold in Plant 0001?
At the moment both are coming into ODS? do I build another ODS? use Infoset?etc
Many Thanks for looking at this, really appreciate any advise
Helen

How to model this data

In the sample data below, there are rows that contain header names, followed by a row with the data.
The problem is that some of the "header" column values change. They represent "sizes" boxes.
Name | BoxType | Color | Qty | 45 | 11 | 13.5
Compx | F | Red | 32 | 1 | 0 | 34
Name | BoxType | Color | Qty | 75 | 11 | 12.5
QuickMartZ | G | Blue | 68 | 13 | 7 | 77
Name | BoxType | Color | Qty | 75 | 11 | 45
QuickMartZ | F | Blue | 22 | 17 | 72 | 12
How could I model this data or re-shape it into a schema such as
Table
=========
AccountName
BoxType
Color
Qty
Size
Ultimately I need to be able to extract a "rolled up" count of the boxes by size and their quantity
Something like this
AccountName
BoxType
Color
Qty_Size1
Qty_Size2
Qty_Size3
Qty_Size4
Qty_Size5
Qty_SizeN...

Without some value which links the two rows together (other than the order of rows how do we know the box in the line above Compx belongs to it?) I don't think this is going to be possible as a set based solution.
You could use a cursor to move through the rows RBAR:
DECLARE @table TABLE (name VARCHAR(20), boxType VARCHAR(20), color VARCHAR(20), qty VARCHAR(4), col1 INT, col2 INT, col3 FLOAT)
INSERT INTO @table (name, boxType, color, qty, col1, col2, col3)
VALUES
('Name', 'BoxType', 'Color', 'Qty', 45, 11, 13.5),
('Compx', 'F', 'Red', '32', 1, 0 , 34),
('Name', 'BoxType', 'Color', 'Qty', 75, 11, 12.5),
('QuickMartZ', 'G', 'Blue', '68', 13, 7 , 77),
('Name', 'BoxType', 'Color', 'Qty', 75, 11, 45),
('QuickMartZ', 'F', 'Blue', '22', 17, 72, 12)
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(20), @boxType VARCHAR(20), @color VARCHAR(20), @qty VARCHAR(4), @col1 INT, @col2 INT, @col3 FLOAT,
@pname VARCHAR(20), @pboxType VARCHAR(20), @pcolor VARCHAR(20), @pqty VARCHAR(4), @pcol1 INT, @pcol2 INT, @pcol3 FLOAT
DECLARE @products TABLE (name VARCHAR(20), boxType VARCHAR(20), color VARCHAR(20), qty VARCHAR(4), size1 FLOAT, size2 FLOAT, size3 FLOAT)
DECLARE @boxes TABLE (name VARCHAR(20), boxType VARCHAR(20), size1 FLOAT, size2 FLOAT, size3 FLOAT)
DECLARE c1 CURSOR
FOR SELECT *
FROM @table
OPEN c1
FETCH c1 INTO @name, @boxType, @color, @qty, @col1, @col2, @col3
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS <> -1

END
IF @name <> 'name'
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @products (name, boxType, color, qty, size1, size2, size3) VALUES (@name, @boxType, @color, @qty, @col1, @col2, @col3)
INSERT INTO @boxes (name, boxType, size1, size2, size3) VALUES (@name, @boxType, @pcol1, @pcol2, @pcol3)
END
FETCH c1 INTO @name, @boxType, @color, @qty, @col1, @col2, @col3

Need advise on how to model this rule

Hi,
I got stuck in modelling some rule. I will try to paint the picture using some example:
Assume the following entities (and relations)
the child (the children)
the toy (the childs toys)
the cupboard (the cupboards)
I would like to construct a boolean saying that all children can store their most favorite toy in the best cupboard
What I have tried so far:
I have inferred a relation for the best cupboard.
I also inferred a relation for the most favorite toy of a child.
Now I get stuck. What should be the way to do this? Is it possible? I have the feeling I am missing something. It might be versy simple, but I am relative new to OPA.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Han Joosten

Hi Han,
When I first had a go at this, I had several inferred relationships and it got complicated, so I tried to simplify it down to minimal inferred relationships. Here's what I did...
Entities and Relationships
Containment Relationships
Global --> one-to-many --> the child (relationship text: the children)
the child --> one-to-many --> the child's toy (relationship text: the child's toys; reverse text: the toy of the child)
Global --> one-to-many --> the cupboard (relationship text: the cupboards)
Inferred Relationships
the cupboard --> many-to-many --> the child's toy (relationship text: the cupboard's toys)
Note: Before you can write rules associating two different entities, you need to set up a relationship between them in the Properties file.
Rules
Determine the best cupboard...
I made up a number attribute 'the cupboard's priority'. The best cupboard is the one with the lowest priority number, i.e. the cupboard with priority 1 beats the cupboard with priority 2.
the cupboard is the best cupboard if
the cupboard's priority = the priority number of the top cupboard
the priority number of the top cupboard = InstanceMinimum(the cupboards, the cupboard's priority)
If you wanted to reverse the priority logic so that the highest number is the 'best', use InstanceMaximum instead.
Determine the favourite toy...
Similar approach with the toys:
the child's toy is the favourite toy if
the child's toy's priority = the priority number of the child's top toy
the priority number of the child's top toy = InstanceMinimum(the child's toys, the child's toy's priority)
Put the favourite toy of each child in the best cupboard...
Write a membership rule to associate the child's toys and the cupboards:
the child's toy is a member of the cupboard's toys if
the cupboard is the best cupboard and
ForScope(the toy of the child)
the child's toy is the favourite toy
Procedural rules to tie it all together...
The rules above do all the tricky logic work. If you want a Global level rule which ties it all together, you could add procedural rules, e.g.
the appropriate cupboard has been determined for all the favourite toys if
ForAll(the children, the child's favourite toy has been determined) and
ForAll(the cupboards, it is known whether or not the cupboard is the best cupboard)
the child's favourite toy has been determined if
ForAll(the child's toys, it is known whether or not the child's toy is the favourite toy)
Test case
I tried the following test scenario, which worked as expected.
Inputs
Child: Bart
Toys: Krusty Doll (priority 1), Television (priority 2)
Child: Lisa
Toys: Saxophone (priority 1), Malibu Stacy (priority 2)
Cupboard: Cupboard A (priority 1)
Cupboard: Cupboard B (priority 2)
Results
Cupboard A is the best cupboard
Instances of 'the child's toy' associated with Cupboard A: Krusty Doll, Saxophone
Cupboard B is not the best cupboard
No instances of 'the child's toy' associated with Cupboard B.
Further comments
If each child can have multiple 'favourite' toys (all of which can go in the best cupboard), then make 'the child's toy is the favourite toy' a base level attribute. Any toy where 'the child's toy is the favourite toy'=true will be associated with the best cupboard, i.e. Cupboard A in the scenario above.
Depending on what else you need to do, it may be worth creating an inferred relationship for 'the child's favourite toys', e.g.
the child's toy is a member of the child's favourite toys if
IsMemberOf(the child's toy, the child's toys) and
the child's toy is the favourite toy

Jasmine

How to model this situation?

Hi experts,
I am BW 3.5. I am working with PS. I need to model the next example:
Project 1
Hs. % (Hs*%) % Real
Phase 1 37.2
Sub Phase 1 37.2
Sub Sub Phase 1 42.8
Ítem 1 10 0% 0(10 * 0 / 100) 0%
Ítem 2 5 100% 5 (5 * 100 / 100) 100 %
Ítem 3 20 50% 10(20 * 50 / 100) 50 %
Sub Sub Phase 2 0.33
Ítem 1 15 10% 1.5(15 * 10 / 100) 1.5 %

Ítem 4 15 30% 4.5(15 * 30 / 100) 4.5 %
This is a hierarchy!!!
The Sub Sub Phase X percentage is: ((Hs*%)/100) / Hs
Hs (Hs*%)
Item 1 10 0(10 * 0 / 100)
Item 2 5 5(5 * 100 / 100)
Item 3 20 10(20 * 50 / 100)
Total 35 15
Sub Sub Phase 1 % = 15 / 35 = 42.8
The Sub Phase X percentage is: ((Hs*%)/100) / Hs
Hs (Hs*%)
Item 1 10 0 (10 * 0 / 100)
Item 2 5 5 (5 * 100 / 100)
Item 3 20 10 (20 * 50 / 100)
Item 1 15 1.5(15 * 10 / 100)
Item 2 25 12.5(25* 50 / 100)
Item 4 15 4.5(15 * 30 / 100)
Total 90 33.5
Sub Sub Phase 1 % = 33.5 / 90 = 37.22
and so on....
Help me please and thanks.

How to model this scenario?

hi experts,
i want to extract hr person administration infomation to bw, i have 2 idea and cann't determine which one is suitable.
1. extract each infoType(such as pa0001, pa9001...) into seperate cube in bw, and join these cube by infoset(the customer view info cross infotype).
the point is now i have put 8 cubes/infoObjects into the infoset and i am very worry about the performance.
2.create a generic dataSource from the infoset based on the HR logical database PNP, and extract the data to BW, that sounds better.
but i want to make the dataSource delta enable, and how to set the delta field in the infoset? which field should i set? for example, the infoset join the pa9001,pa9002, pa9003. each of these pa tables has the field of update date, which one should i set for the delta field?
thanks a lot in advanced, any advice will assign point

Have you checked personnel admin objects e.g. 0PA_C01, 0PAPA_C02 etc? In my opinion these cubes give maximum information.
Check following:

How to model a conversion table for unit of measures?

Hi
I am looking for some input on how to model a many-to-many relationship.
The situation:
A fact table with columns:
Product
Unit of Measure
Date
Value
1 product is stored with 1 and only 1 unit of measure - e.g. Product = Oil, unit of measure = m3
The fact contains several products, each having its own unit of measure.
A dimension 'Unit of measures' with columns
Unit Of Measure
Unit Of Measure Name
Measure System
While reporting on the facts it should be possible to chose the unit of measure I want to see my facts in. E.g. I want to be able to show Oil-production in m3 or barrels or liters, etc.
My challenge:
How to model this requirement?
Right now I tend to go for a bridge table between the fact and the dimension.
But I was wondering:
a) are there other ways to model it
b) are there pitfalls in using Bridge tables?
c) Can I re-use the bridge table in combination with other facts as the model grows?
c.2) do I need to create an alias on the bridge table to re-use it?
Thanks for your help
regards
Andy

Hi Kart,
ok let's say my model looks like this (columns below the tables names, sample in brackets) - again ignoring a date dimension:
Dim_Product --- 1:n --- Fact ----- n:1 ----- Dim_UOM
Id (1,2) Prod_id Id (1,2,3)
Name (Oil, Gas) UOM_id Name (m3, Barrel, Litre)
Value
So the products are coming from the Dim_product, Unit_of measures coming from Dim_UOM.
Fact values would look like this
Prod_id UOM_id Value
1 1 10
1 2 84
1 3 10000
etc
If I need to report in a new measure, I would be forced to add a new record to the fact table
Prod_id UOM_id Value
1 1 10
1 2 84
1 3 10000
1 4 150
with 4 being the new measure id.
What I am looking for is a way to be more flexible when it comes to converting values to different measures.
Thanks
Regards
Andy

IPAD 6.0 (MD519C/A) wifi,cellular - how good is this model?

I would like to buy Apple iPad with Retina display (MD519C/A), 16GB, WiFi, Cellular 4G, White from Staples.ca. I would like to know if anyone has used this model and how good is this. Also, whether it's unlocked or not? I want to send the ipad to Bangladesh and the customer representative at Staples was not sure whether that is unlocked or not. I would like to know if it would work there.
I have pasted the URL for this ipad. Thank you.

Without checking myself, just be aware that the iPad OS generally only provides error signals that are relevant. It wouldn't seem relevant to report on a missing SIM with Cellular turned off, and I'd therefore expect that you wouldn't see that message after having done so.
Don't turn on Airplane Mode, however (that's what's shown by the "little airplace icon") as that also shuts down your wifi.
And yes, with Cellular off it just says "iPad" there on the status bar, exactly as described in your User's Guide and other locations.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can someone tell me how to fix this error in 10.4.11 on a G5 Quad Core 2.5GHz Tower...A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]

Can someone tell me how to fix this error in 10.4.11 on a G5 Quad Core 2.5GHz Tower...A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]

That's an error reported from DVD Player I believe...
kDVDErrorMissingGraphicsDevice = -70017, // A valid graphics device is not available.
There's some conjecture it has to do with HDCP, or Video Card problems, but the only 2 cures/fixes I found were Software related, one was cured by updating the OS, another by replacing the Video kexts.
I think this error also shows up if trying to use DVD player in Safe Mode, (too much research isn't good! ).

What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?

My keyboard is no longer lighting up on my macbook pro...does anyone know how to fix this issue manually?

My backlight on my macbook pro unibody is not working. The lights do not come on. Does anyone know how to fix this manually? Im also missing screes to the back of my computer holding it in shape. My battery needs to be replaced as well. How do i do all of this? Id also like to replace my RAM.

For the keyboard backlight:
Have you tried pressing the "lights on" F-key, that has like a half-round rays of light over a bar symbol (currently F6 on my Mac, but may be different on other models)? If it doesn't work, does anything show on the screen?
If a crossed-out symbol pops up onscreen when you press the F-key, that means that automatic keyboard lighting is enabled and the Mac thinks surroundings are too bright already. Go to System Preferences / Keyboard and uncheck the "Automatically illuminate keyboard..." item, then try again.
For the screws:
Visit www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com and see in their Mac parts section for a replacement screw set. You will need to know your Mac's model, printed on the bottom lid, to ensure you get the correct parts for that particular computer.
For the RAM:
While in either of the two places I mentioned above, visit their How-To / DIY section for instructions on how to replace RAM on your Mac. Then visit www.crucial.com, www.corsair.com, www.kingston.com, www.otherworldcomputing.com or any other RAM maker, use their RAM advisor together with your Mac's model to select the correct RAM upgrade kit for your Mac.
