How to Synchronize cube measures with relational fact tables?

Dear all,
I built a simple analysis cube on Oracle 10g R2 using AWM.
The problem is when I change in the column associated with a base measure of my cube and then do cube or measure maintenance using the maintenance wizard of AWM, the measure value does not change and does not reflect the changes i made in the fact table.
Please tell me how to keep the cube measures on sync with the fact table columns
Thanks for helping

Hi there,
if you delete data in your fact table, i would asume that you have to delete the data in the cube, too. This is not done by "maintain cube".
According to your load strategy you have delelete the old data e.g. for the whole cube or just for a given time data (day/month).
You can use the dml command "clear" or just search in this forum for "clear cube".
Maybe this helps you to "synchronize cube".
If not, the questions would be:
Is new data loaded in the cube correctly?
Is updated data loaded in the cube correctly?
Is data in the cube, which is not present in the fact tables?
Good luck!

Designing a cube with two Fact tables

Hi,
I am new to multi-dimensional modeling. I am trying to define a cube with two fact tables which have many to many relationship. so I came up with following schema:-
I want to design a cube so that I can get the count of "FactOne" items which are related to "FactTwo" items having particular status. So, I want to get the count of "FactOne" where they are related to items in "FactTwo"
which have "Status1". Could anyone please guide me how would I do it?
Thanks

Hi Ahsan,
In your scenario, there are tow fact tables on your Data Source View, and now what you want is that "count of FactOne" which are related to "FactTwo" in a particular status, right?
It seem that you have find a blog that describes how to select facts with reference dimension on you another thread. As per my understanding, you can follow that blog to achieve your requirement.

How to create a ROLAP Cube that has two fact tables.

I want to know if it is possible to create a ROLAP Cube with two fact tables.
Suppose that I have these two star schemas:
The first star schema has only a measure and a time dimension. The time dimension has three levels (Year -> Month -> Day)
The second star schema has the same measure of the first schema and a time dimension. In this schema the time dimension has only two levels (Year -> Month). The values of the measure of this schema come from the first schema, this is, the value of the measure for a defined year and month results of the sum of all fact values of the first schema, that have the same year and month.
I want to know if is possible to create a ROLAP cube that can get the information of the two star schemas, according to the level that the user are consulting.
For example, if the user consults the cube with "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In", and if the user is consulting the first two levels (Year and Month), then the ROLAP cube would get the information of the second star schema.
But if the user does a drill down in a month to get information of the days, then the ROLAP cube would get the information of the first star schema.
Is it possible to do this?
Regards,
Rui Torres

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. Sorry if I get this wrong.
You have two fact tables, one with data values at the day, month and year levels and a second fact table with data values at just the month and year levels. If this is the case, in the CWM2 APIs or OWB Paris, you would create a view that joins the two tables together and then map this view to the ROLAP cube.
For CWM2 details, please refer to the Oracle OLAP Reference.

How can build BMM with multiple fact tables

HI Gurus,
I have 4 fact tables and 18 Dimension table. Dimension tables have links with multiple fact tables. i have created physical joins in Physical layer. Now my questions is how can i create Business Model with multiple fact tables.
i mean should i create 4 fact tables as logical tables and logical keys ? Then i have to move all dimension tables in to Business model?
i am new to OBIEE. i gone through tutorial it is showing with one fact and multi dimension table. Should i do follow same style with multi fact tables.
Please help me. Thanks in advance for your support.

Thanks for your response.
I had drag all tables from the phisical layer to Business Model. then i have deleted all links and recreated complex joins with default values.
now i have some revenue amont columns in fact tables.
my question is should i should i create aggregation ( like Sum..) for those columns? is it must ?
please let me know thank you very much

I recomend to configure physical standby database for your production and when ever you requir open standby Using a Physical Standby DB in Read Write Mode and Flashback DB, so that you can revert all the changes back and put the db in sync. Please follow below metalink notes.

Problems with 2 fact tables

Hi.
I use cmw2_ procedures to create dimensions and cubes.
My cube has three dimensions.
I have 2 fact views - one includes 3 dimensions,
another - 2 dimensions.
I tried to map measures to these fact tables - error: exact fetch return more than requested number of rows.
How can i solve these problem?
Sorry for my english.

A time dimension (or date dimension for that matter) are quite independent and you can find N good generic time/date dim structures out there (with proper Y/M/DAGO keys, calendar vs fiscal rollups etc etc).
But if you only want to create a single common time/date dim based on what you have in your facts, you can just follow (as a quick win before thinking about how to structure a physical time/date dim) Stewarts basic example here:

Joins with multiple fact tables

Hi Experts,
i have one doubt in joins
we have two dimensions D1 and D2,
D1 is having A1 and A2 columns
D2 is having B1 and B2 columns
two facts F1 and F2 these are joined like D1 to F1 D1 to F2 and D2 to F1, D2 to F2
D1----->F1
D1------>F2
D2-------->F1
D2-------->F2
if i selected A1 and B1 in a request from which FACT table will get the data and why can you please explain
please help me
reg,

Hi All,
I have a similar requirement where I have 4 multiple fact tables and we can't combine all those facts into one single fact table. In that case how can a query work with multiple common and uncommon dimensions and measures from multiple fact tables, if it doesn't work that way - can you please explain how can we expect a query to work with multiple fact tables.
For eg: D1– Dim
D2 – Dim
D3 – Dim
D4 – Dim
F1 –Fact
F2 – Fact
F3 – Fact
D1 -> F1
D2 -> F1,F2
D3 -> F2
D4 -> F1, F3
In this case if we want to query from D1,D2,D3, F1, F2 or D1,D2,D3,D4,F1,F2,F3. Kindly please explain how it can be modeled in BMM or what are the limitations. I have done with two fact tables in past and didn't had issues but this is kind of a vast implementation. Your help is appreciated.

Model with 2 fact tables

Hi all,
i have a model with two fact tables, both of them containing these columns:
- some measures
- foreign keys for dimensional tables
- column year
- column month
I have to build a model with both of these two tables, including a unique time dimension. Do anyone knows how i can do to make a unique dimension for both of the tables?
Thanks in advance,
Regards

Problem with loading fact table in OWB3i

Hi,
I have a problem while trying to load a fact table using OWB 3i. Let me explain the situation :
I have 2 dimensions: Customer, Product say.
I have loaded the dimension tables separately, successfully using different mappings from source tables.
Now I want to load the fact table with the corresponding warehouse keys from these dimension tables through lookup transformation.
When I try to bring to lookup transformations for the 2 dim. tables, it gives an error--"Source and target are bound to different data providers". Using 1 dim table and 1 corresponding lookup transformation , the fact table is successfully loaded.
How to load a fact table when there are more than 1 dim. tables using lookup ?Is there any other way of solving the same problem?
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
regards
Dipanjan

Simply, try joining source tables with the join operator. In wich way you can create a single source object into the mapping suitable to be connected with yours fact tables.

Measures in the fact table

Hello,
Can i have measures in the fact table in business layer?
I am using obiee 11g.
like i have a fact table where i have a user i applied aggregation rule of count distinct.
Now i would like to add a lower function to it like count (distinct(lower(username)).
But then it becomes like a measure with fx with the name and not the usual yellow colour.
Wanted to know if its good practice?
Thanks

Hi,
You have two measure columns.
one with lower function
other without lower function.
For your information: Distinct is case sensitive.It will show the difference between 'A' and 'a'.

Lakshmipathi.

How many line item dimensions can a fact table have?

Hi,
How many line item dimensions can a fact table have? Is it tht Max of 16 dimensions(13+3) .Does the 16 dimensions include line items dimensions as well .
Pls reply.
Thanks
Praveen

It includes all dimensios, including line item dimensions.
If you have line item dimension, pl note you cant assign any other characteristic to that dimension.

How to Synchronize an association with Database Changes

Hi,
I was wondering if someone has any ideas about how to manage FK changes with the BC associations. In general my questions center around tooling support for re-factoring associations and syncing them with db changes. I have read the following but all these discuss entity attribute related changes which are simple to manage.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcentities.htm#ADFFD169
http://jdeveloperfaq.blogspot.com/2010/02/faq-15-how-to-synchronize-adf-entity.html
Re: How to manage ADF BC components in the case of datamodel changes
I have 4 use cases.
Case 1: When an association is added to the db, how does one bring it to the BC layer.
Case 2: Deletion of an association from db is easy to manage because once it exists in bc layer, it can be treated as a valid one at the model later regardless of its existence on the db.
Case 3: When an association is modeled in BC layer and a corresponding FK does not exist in DB. How does one turn that association into a physical FK in the db if one wants to install a FK. What is the naming convention for installing such a db FK constraint that can sync easily with tooling. I understand that it is not necessary to have a physical FK as the BC layer will take care of enforcing the relationship. But my requirement is that first the modeling at bc layer can go on and then the constraint can be implemented at a later date.
Case 4: When a FK is renamed in db how does one reconcile that with a previously created association at the model layer based on an old fk with a different name.
Thanks,

The synchronize with DB will pick up new FK defined in the DB and will suggest to add them to your ADF BC layer.
You can also generate DB objects from your ADF BC layer.
Drag your ADF BC into an ADF BC diagram, select all of them, right click and select Generate Business Object->Database Objects
This will create the objects in the DB - note though that this will override your DB objects.

Personal recruitment How to do new measure with function call Update IT4000

Hi out there and happy new year to forum,
i want to update to implement a recruitment measure (Transaction PB40). I did it already with batch input, but i guess it's much more comfortable to do with funtion module, bapi or calsses.
After choosing the measure, the infogroup will be processed. So i guess, i just have to use the corresponding function modules to update the infotypes in a given sequence. is this suggestion right?
What are these function modules? How to update f.e. IT4000? Does anyone has a coding snippet?
Is it HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION?
In our Infogroup there are also customer specific infotypes f.e. 9***. Can I use the sap standard function modules for "own implemented" infotypes?
I also appreciate an abap oo pattern or any similar....
Best regards,
T

But I don't think that it's possible to hire an application completly with function modules (there is no PERNR in the beginning so I would keep the BIM).
The applicants already exists in system, i just want to implement a measure with exact one click!
Otherwise there is a BAPI for applicant_create.
I'm not very expierienced focussing the implementation in pa-recruiting. I'm really looking for a good documentation or anything like that f.e. sap press.

What are the alternatives to it. (I'm not looking forward to upgrade releases or using wd4a or webgui). we are on ecc 6.0 There is already a lot of z-coding in recruitment. We are also using an self implemented e-recruiting approach
