How to retrieve data from a dimension that is not directly joined to a fact

Hi,
In my case I have 2 dimensions and one fact. I need to runa report collecting data from all the three tables.
I need to do the following.
DIMA DIMB FACT1
FACT1 is joined with DIMA
DIMA is joined with DIMB
FACT1 is not Joined with DIMB.
My report should still retrieve information from DIMB by connecting FACT1 with DIMA and retrieve corresponding data from DIMB.
Please suggest how can I do this .
I am using 10.1.3 version of OBIEE
You help will be much appreciated.

Hi,
I think your data model is snow-flake schema,we can get the data from snow-flake schema also.Pull the columns from both fact and DIMB into criteria.It will display the result.
mark if helpful/correct...
thanks,
prassu

    How to do write a sql to retrieve data matching values in a varray?
    I have the following:
    declare
        v_ct          NATURAL := 0;
        type t_cur is  REF CURSOR;
        v_cursor t_cur;
        TYPE t_array IS VARRAY(100) OF NUMBER;

  • How to retrieve data from a jsp page

    I have created a page with some text boxes, file, submit button. In my Ist jsp, i am dynamically add Text boxes and File (for Uploading).
    In the 2nd jsp, i am used Jakarata FileUpload API. I am able to retrieve all data and files except that value of dynamicall added text boxes. That is, I cannot retrieve data from dynamically added text boxes.
    Using Jakarata FileUpload API, i can retrieve values of form data using
    getString() method.
    I want to know that there is any way or method for retrieving form data values into String Array.

    Use parseRequest(request) to get the file information as you already are doing. However, I dont know how you can use request.getParameter("textField1") to get the other fields from the page. My work-around is as follows:
    Change your submit button to an ordinary button and add an onClick event to it. Then in the javascript function that supports the onClick, add the textField1 as follows:
    <form name="fileUploadForm" method="post" action="someAction" (((more code code here)))))
    function submitButtonClick(){
    document.fileUploadForm.action=
    document.fileUploadForm.action+
    "?textField1="+document.fileUploadForm.textField1.value"+
    "&textField2="+document.fileUploadForm.textField2.value"+
    "&textField3="+document.fileUploadForm.textField3.value";
    document.fileUploadForm.submit();
    As you can see in the above code, I append the textField1 name/value pair to the end of the action. Now in the server, you can use getParameter("textField1");

  • How to Retrieve data from database into another form ?

    Good Day!
    Am currently new at JSP. I've been studying it for awhile and still getting the hang of it. We are working on a project.
    Editing a given data. We have to retrieve the given data and post it to another form "Editing form".
    Since we can retrieve data using JSP but how are we going to post it to another form? I mean how are we going to transfer data from one form to another?
    Can anyone help me with codes please..

    The client is a web browser.
    The client submits a request (click a link, visit a form)
    The server gets to respond to this
    - look at request parameters from the client
    - access database
    - produce resulting html page
    - send page back to client.
    The standard pattern is to retrieve data from the database in java code, and then load that data into a bean.
    You then make that bean available as an attribute
    It is then available for use in your JSP - either <jsp:useBean> tag or using ${ELexpressions}
    All you can pass from the client to the server is request parameters - which are always strings.
    Draw a picture of where the information is, and the information flows. Very rarely does it go directly from one "form" to another.

  • How to retrieve data from virtual infotype?

    Hi.
    I'm trying to write an ABAP program that's retrieving data from infotype 2501.
    If i'm looking at this table PA2501 from SE16, i can see that it's empty, but...
    I have an HR program that's using the PNP and i can see in debbuging mode allot of data over there.
    So, my question is: how can i get this data with a simple SELECT command? where is the data?
    Thanks!
    Barak.

    There may be no data physically stored in table PA2501, it may reside in other tables but programatically pulled by the infotype into internal tables. Surender has given a good example, there are many more examples like some fields are stored in another table. Like for infotype 105, some fields are stored in PA0105 and some are stored in PA0106 which are pulled and displayed on one infotype screen i.e. 105 and hence we do not have a screen for 106. It may be same situation.
    If you have to have a SELECT access, then only way is to debug the code and see how it is pulling the data, which tables etc.

Maybe you are looking for
