Implementing Logical FACT & Logical dimension from 2 different data sources

Hi Gurus,
Here is my situation. We have 2 Different Data sources. One is SRMW and the other one is a different source. What we are trying to implement here is we wanted to create logical dimensions and logical facts as well in the BMM layer. For ex: w_day_d from SRMW and other time dimension from another source makes a logical table. And similarly a fact from SRMW and and another similar fact (Same data types though) will make a logical fact in the BMM.
I have done the POC of it, but the only problem is that i was able to fetch the data from only one data source not the other source.
Any suggestions ??
Thanks in Advance.

What I already mentioned is that you have to create multiple logical table sources and set the fragmentation content on each logical table source.
When you have two physical tables for the product dimension, for example DIM_PRODUCT_A and DIM_PRODUCT_B, you must add them to your logical table Products as two separate logical table sources and map all columns to the corresponding logical table columns on the Column Mapping tab.
Hereafter you should go to the Content tab of each logical table source and describe what content is in the logical table source.
For example for the logical table source of DIM_PRODUCT_A:
"BM"."Product"."Product Name" <= 'Product 2'
and for the logical table source of DIM_PRODUCT_B.
"BM"."Product"."Product Name" >= 'Product 3'
Then you must also check "This source should be combined with other sources at this level"
When you run a query in Answers only on the product table, two queries will be generated to get values from both tables.

Stijn

How to compute data from different data sources?

All we are doing with data is from one single datasoure, which could be from oracle or sql server or a excel table, the issue is how could we combine these data from different data source with SQL?
Example: i need some data from Sale Table in Excel and some data from Custumer Table in oracle, how could SQL complete this mission? Solutions are welcomed and appreciated.

Can we create one repository from different data Source

Hi Experts
I have one doubt
1. Can we create one repository in OBIEE from different source like..
I have three Database(Oracle) and i want to create one single repository from different source.
2. If my Database are different like(Oracle,DB2,Teradata..)
Thanks in advance
Regards
Frnds

Hi..
Yes It's possible to create a repository from different datasources, provided there should be different DSN for each...
If it's ORACLE, we can import objects from OCI directly.. by mentioning the TNS Name, without creating DSN
Thanks & Regards

Report from multiple data sources

Hello All,
I have a requirement to create a report based on the data coming from XML file and needs to be joined with the data from SQL query extract.
I did research on this and found this link helpful: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/07/multiple_datasources_i.html
But our data source will be FILE for xml files and can any one please suggest me the how can i define XML file in a data template.
Please guide.
Thanks.

To link more than one universe all of them have to have the same connection.
to solve your issue, i think you need to read more about Business Objects DATA FEDERATOR
which allows you to integrate data and create one virtual data source from different data sources
its really helpfull in your case.
your Option 2 i think is still valid, integrate all the information into BW and create one OLAP universe
good luck

Different Data sources for dimensions & Facts

Hi
Here is my scenario. For our POC purpose, we are just trying to access dimensions, & Facts from 2 different data sources.
Dimensions come from db2 and Fact table comes from a different source.
My question here is did any one faced issues like this ? I am wondering whether i need to join these tables physically in the phyical layer or should i have to take care of them in the BMM Layer.
Thanks in advance for any of ur ideas

As mentioned you will need to join across data bases. One thing you will see when you do this is that OBIEE will do a bulk select across those databases then join and filter logically in its own memory process. If you MUST join across databases at least propagate the common dimensions across both databases; that way at least OBIEE can do a semi-filtered grab of the data from each database before it joins the resultsets in memory.

In Answers am seeing "Folder is Empty" for Logical Fact and Dimension Table

Hi All,
Am working on OBIEE Answers, on of sudden when i clicked on Logical Fact table it showed me as "folder is empty". I restarted all the services and then tried still showing same for Logical Fact and Dimension tables but am able to see all my reports in Shared Folders. I restarted the machine too but no change. Please help me out to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Will OBIEE Support creating reports from 2 different data sources

Hello Guys
I am new to BI . Can anybody let me know how to create a report using 2 different data sources .
Ex: Suppose we have 10G and SQL server , can we import tables to rpd and join 1 fact & dimension from 10G and 1 Fact from SQL server to the 10G tables . If so ,
1) Will the repository be consistent ?
2) Is it a best practice to do this kind of modeling ?
3) Will it affect the performance of the reports ?
Your advice is highly appreciated .

Hi,
Dont try to do this at the BI server layer. Oracle has special abilities to do this thing. So use the power of oracle to import the tables from the sql server to oracle and in the bi server just create one data source.
you can browse for *'DBLINK'* in oracle.

Create a logical column with more than one data source

I'm having a problem to create a logical column with more than one data source in Siebel 7.8.
What I want to do is the union of 2 physical tables in one logical table.
For example, I have a "local_clients" table and a "abroad_clients" table. What I want is to have a logical table "clients" with the client data from the 2 tables.
What I've tried is dragging the datasources I need onto the logical column.
However this isn't working because it only retrieves the data from the first data source.

Hi!
I think it is not possible to do this just by dragging the columns to the logical table. A logical table can have more than one source, but I think each column must have just one direct source column.
I'm not sure, but maybe you should do the UNION SQL to get the data of the two tables. In the physical layer, when you create a new physical table, it's possible to set the "table type" as a "SELECT". I didn't try that, but it seems that it's possible to have the union table in the physical layer.
Bye.

Deleting duplicate records from different data packets in BI data source.

Hi,
I am getting same (duplicate) records from different data packets in BI data source, after completion of extraction.
I tried to store key fields of the first data packet in an internal table. But this internal table is not carrying the previous data at the time of extraction of second data packet.
Is there any other way to remove duplicate records after completion of extraction.
Thanks in advance.

I did not extensively worked in BI routenes. But I recon there will be routene which will het executed before data mapping part there will be a start routene in which you can validate the existense of data before beeing passed from data source to cube.
Hope this helps,

How to send data from 4 different data sources to one ODS

Hello Gurus,
There is a transaction called KSB1 in R/3.
It has data related to cost center , cost element, G/L .
In BI, i need to transfer the data from these Data sources to one ODS.
Can any body give me some idea.
Points will be awarded for any kind of response .
Thanks .
Anu

Hi Rupa..
In your requirement some data sources (Cost centre, Cost element) are master data sources.
They are available as info Objects in BI (Content).
So there is no need to create ODS on these.
But the general scenario for creating ODS from multiple data sources in case of Transaction documents
Like :
PO header, PO line items...
For this the Pre-requisite is to have common fields between these data sources (eg PONo).
Hope this gives idea for u....
Cheers...

Two Different Data Sources in EIS

Hi - Can we have 2 different Data Sources in the OLAP model.Example:We have our Fact table in Teradata and Dimension table inOracle.Can we create a model with this kind of scenario?WIll it be a maintenance nightmare if we do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jeeva

Hi Jeeva, Yes you can do this. I have models which use data from Oracle, SQL Server and also Text files! All you need is to setup the appropriate ODBC connections on the box that contains EIS then when you create your OLAP model, you add new data sources by clicking "Connections" then "Add Data Source" Hope this helps.

Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

Hi Experts,
Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Ashok,
Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
[ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
The item status - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Data come from difference data source

In my saturation, my program's data are come from difference data source. For example, the program will retrieve PO balance, material consumption, future consumption and so on. In my program logic, i retrieve all of the material number, the retrieve the PO balance, material consumption... into internal table, then loop the internal table of material number and update this table from internal table of po balance, material consumption..., but i found that the program's running time is long. How to improve the performance or any suggestion for the program logic. Thanks.

Hi,
Few Guildlines:
1. program is slow mainly because Database load is too high, try to reduce it and that load can be shared by ABAP. gotrhough SE30-perfromance tuning.
Also, in Se30 u will get all most important Tips and tricks, follow it,...
2. Try to find out summary table and dont try always to get data from basic tables.
3. Try to use perfect SELECT statemetn with porper joins, which is most important in reduction of load on DB.
4. you can make ABAP part faster, following coding standard like use of Binary search.
5. Use SLIN to find out which part of program is taking too much time, try to reduce it.
Hope this will guide u.

Not able to edit the report created on different data source.....

I have a query regarding Report in OBIEE - reports developed from BI Publisher are specific to data source on which they have been created ??
i have a sample report that was created on different data source, i have the corresponding RPD also. I changed the data source according to my DB and when i try to update/edit the report,
on Analytics for adding a new column, it is generating a seperate new Query from QueryBuilder for that additional cloumn rather than adding up the new query with the previous one(existing report query). Is it because of mismatch of data source on which report had been created and on which it is being update ?? if it is the case, where do i need to make changes related to JDBC connection or others ??
when i try to create a new sample data set and try to update it, it adds up the extra edited things to original query and works perfectly fine. can ny 1 help me for the same ??

Hi Denis,
Normally,what we do is once we provide access to webi users group for each user from BO supervisor module, user(s) will able to refresh/edit the existing report from Full client BO.His colleagues have had no problem editing all his reports from their machines but he is not able to edit any report from his machine and BO is getting freeze.
He also reinstalled BO and cleaned out everything on his Computer and re-built it but the issue is not yet resolved
Can you please tell me how to resolve this issue

Report using two different data sources won't work.

I'm trying to build a report that shows information from a production table and an archive table.
Tables are in different databases, which are defined as their own Data Sources in Publisher.
Two data sets containing the same query but using different Data Sources are defined in the Data Model.
When selecting option 'Concatenated SQL Data Source' the report never completes.
If any of the two Data Sets is selected as the Main Data Set, the report shows information related to that source only.
Any hints on how to make this work would be appreciated.
Thanks.
ccastillo

More details on this issue:
The production database has a synonym pointing to the archive database. I build a query using a UNION ALL statement linking both tables.
For the same set of parameters, this query completes in a couple of minutes outside BI Publisher, but never ends (I cancel after an hour) inside Publisher.
Is there any special considerations for the use of synonyms inside Publisher?
