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!
R.

To Be Honest there is not one straight Cmdlet that atleast I have come across
The best way would if you have Lync monitoring server
Using the Lync Server 2013 Monitoring Server
If you have the Monitoring Server role configured in your environment, and for Lync Server 2013 everyone should!, you can use information contained in the LcsCDR database to pull back the last time a user signed in. You can run the following query* to
pull back the user's SIP URI and their last login time:
USE LcsCDR
SELECT dbo.Users.UserUri, dbo.UserStatistics.LastLogInTime
FROM dbo.UserStatistics
JOIN dbo.Users ON dbo.Users.UserId = dbo.UserStatistics.UserId
ORDER BY UserUri
Which produces the following output:
The advantage to using the Monitoring Server to obtain this data is that unlike the information contained in the rtcdyn database, the information from the LcsCDR data will persist even when the user isn't signed into Lync.
To get approx count of users enable for Lync Server in your organisation
Get-CsUser -Filter {Enabled -eq $true} | MeasurE
Please not the above command let will give you an approx number not exact
From the Monitoring report yet the SIP account that signed in and then from count find out how many user havent signed in this is manual task
Hope this is helpful

If someone messages my iphone 6 with the new quick video option when I get it I do not get the option to keep. Therefore it never vanishes. If I send a quick message video to them it has keep listed below the video on theirs.

1. Every iPod, since the first generation model back in 2001 (of which I am proud to be an original owner) has always scratched on all surfaces – front, back, you name it, but basically everything scratches and this is nothing new. If you toss your shiny new cell phone into your pocket with your car keys it is also bound to be scratched. Just because the iPod costs about ten times more than your cell phone doesn't mean that the iPod is scratch-proof or will stop a bullet.
If you go out and buy a brand new, scratchless BMW are you going to expect it to never get a scratch or fingerprint on it? Excuse me, but get real or get a case for it.
2. Transferring video to the iPod was meant to be "easy" for videos that you have purchased over iTunes. It gets more complicated when you want to "back up" your DVDs or avi files that you have on your computer. Unfortunately, QuickTime Pro is not the fastest option for converting to m4v format. There are dozens of applications out there that will rip your DVDs to your hard drive and a handful more which will take this file and convert it to an iPod-friendly format.
3. It's possible to use your iPod with more than one computer without it being erased. When you connect the iPod to a computer which isn't the first one you used it with, it will say that the iTunes library is not the same one on your iPod and whether or not you want to overwrite the iPod. Obviously you can click no. In the iPod's preferences (found in iTunes), click "manually transfer songs and playlists". You can now take single songs or entire albums from your secondary computer and put them on your iPod.

Dear Freinds
 As per my requirement when the user enters value Ansal it should get defaulted to Amount field (bet01 ) based on the wage type
i have written calculation ( q0008-bet01 = ansal/100) before it getting defaulted to bet01, i found that value is not getting default on the screen for bet01 once i enter value for Ansal , please any body correct my code
in ZXPADU02 i have written the code as below :
data : wa_p0008 like p0008,
 i0008 like p0008,
 l_v_ANSAL type ANSAL_15,
 l_v_amount type PAD_AMT7S.

when '0008'.
CALL METHOD cl_hr_pnnnn_type_cast=>prelp_to_pnnnn
EXPORTING
prelp = innnn
IMPORTING
pnnnn = wa_p0008. -- HERE I GOT ALL THE DATA EXCEPT BET01
if wa_p0008-lga01 = 'MFPY'.
l_v_ansal = wa_p0008-ansal.
l_v_amount = l_v_ansal / 100.
move l_v_amount to wa_p0008-bet01.
CALL METHOD cl_hr_pnnnn_type_cast=>pnnnn_to_prelp
EXPORTING
pnnnn = wa_p0008 --- HERE I CAN SEE EVEN THE BET01 IS FILLED
IMPORTING
prelp = innnn. --- HERE I CAN SEE LGART BUT NOT AMOUNT VALUE
endif.
when others.
endcase.
IN ZXPADU01 I HAVE WRITTEN AS BELOW:

 i have entered the value for Ansal (ex: p0008-Ansal = 1000) ..........and i say enter then i should found the calculated value for the ansal through my coding
and it should display in bet01 as 10 ( q0008-bet01 = p0008-ansal /100)
but i dont find the value 10 being displayed for the field bet01 on the screen when
user enters Ansal as 1000 .........even then i have saved it to test the scenario......
now i came in displayed mode (pa20 ) for the infotype 008 for the same personnel no for the same dates .....where i created the record........i found that the value
bet01 is there i.e i can see the value bet01 as 10 ( my requiremnt here matching)
but when the user say enter during the time of creation of the record the value
bet01 is not getting defaulted with 10 .........why iam not able to understand
PLEASE ANY BODY HELP ME IN THIS REGARD

Can not get the Cisco TSP to show UP - 2003 64bit

Can not get the Cisco TSP to show up on the list of Providers in Phone and Modem Options- Advance tab. Installed ver. 4.1, it seems to install correctly, with no errors but when I restart the server, there is no Cisco TSP001.tsp in the providers list. It works perfectly on my Windows 2003 servers, but will not work on this new Windows 2003 64 bit server. Any tricks to getting this to load?
Thanks
Keith

Hi
There is no 64-bit TSP yet. Whilst 32-bit apps will work OK for the most part on 64-bit via the WoW function, drivers tend to not be so flexible, and that's what TSP is...
You'll have to bother your Cisco accounts folks to get this prioritised, it is upsetting a lot of people...

PAYABLES NOT GETTING THE REPORT OUTPUT IN PDF AFTER APPLYING RUP5 R12

Hi All,
RDBMS:10.2.0.3.0
Oracle Apps :12.0.4
OS:AIX 5.3
Problem Description:
We are presently facing an issue in Payables not getting the report output in PDF esp for the reports "Invoice Register", Invoice Hold Report and also other reports. We were able to generate the reports till our last test performed on last Thursday. This instance was cloned over the last weekend and probably the new upgrade to RUP5 R12,would have impacted it.
Concurrent Programs submitted are completed normal but on clicking "view output" results in Blank PDF output.
The error message what was shown is as below:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'AcrC.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)".
Where could we locate ther above 'AcrC.tmp' of Adobe Reader..
could anyone please share such an experience encountered for resolution..
Would appreciate an early response..
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

I suggest you speak to your DBA/sysadmin. This is not likely to be a reports problem.
Check that you can see the output from apps through the viewer (the report may not hav output anything)
Check whether you can print anything on that printer from apps.
May also be worth checking to see if you can print to another printer from this report.

I have an iPad 2 and the newest apple tv. I do not get the option on my iPad to mirror on AirPlay. I've tried all the suggestions I've seen. Does anyone have a new idea?

I have an iPad 2 and the newest apple tv. I do not get the option to turn mirroring on in the AirPlay function. I have tried the suggestions I've seen on here so far, but nothing has worked. Has anyone come up with a fix to this problem?

Your Apple TV and iOS device (iPad) need to be on the same network subnet. If they are you can verify when playing that the ATV is set as the output device by clicking the icon to the the right of the fast-forwrd button. Or you can double-click the home button and swipe left twice to see this.

When I go into More 4 Catch up TV I do not get the bar that allows you to pause, enlarge, scoll forward when I click onto a programme is this Firefow or More 4? Can you help me fix?

When I go into Channel 4 website to catch up on tv programmes on any of their channels I do not get the task bar to be able to pause, select point in programme to start from etc. Happens in both play and play in pop up. So if I play I can not make large screen.
Don't know where problem lies but others in house who acces same web site do not have this problem and I am the only one that uses firefox.
We all have different computers

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

I Just received the update to iTunes, when I I look at the screen I do not see the normal icons. When I select movies I do not get the new downloads unless i select the list in the sub file. How do I get backto the old method of seeing and using iTunes??

I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account? I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

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