InfoCube Data Modeling "Or" combination Result Set

Hi All,
I am new to BW so please let me know if this is something that can be done without too much complexity.
How would one go about tackling an issue like this.
Below is the sales ODS data.
Sales ODS Data
Customer -
Sales $ - Rebate Indicator-----Refund Indicator
Apple -
1000--True--
False
Apple -
500----
False -
True
Apple -
2000--True--
True
How would one design an infocube such that when a user selects the following BEX inputs, the result should bring back all the rows. I would like the input to be an "OR" combination instead of an "AND" combination. Thanks.
QUERY INPUTS #1 :
Customer Site = Apple
Rebate Indicator = True
Refund Indicator = True
QUERY RESULT :
Customer -
Sales $
Apple -
1000 + 500 +2000 = 3500

Hi nigel,
if i understood your requirement
you would like to see your result as
CUSTOMER SALES
appel>>>>>500
appel>>>>>1000
appel>>>>>2000
but try to have the other two fields Rebate and Refund in the rows of the Query then you will get all the three line items.
becoz cube will aggregate when the key is common.
Or else if your requirement is to display the result when one of the Column is true either Rebate or Refund.
then you have to add one more field to your Infocube and fill that in the update rules saying
If Rebate eq true or Refund eq True.
Result = True.
Else
Result = False.
Then while displaying the query result you can filter on this Field then you will get the correct result.
thanks and regards

Combining result set of two services into one result set

Hi,
I have a model where I am getting one result set (6 Fields) from BI query and another result set (3 Fields which gives real time values) from OLTP system. I want to show the output of these two result sets into single result set (7 Fields). I have a common field in both the result sets as key field.
I tried this using UNION operator but I am not able to set the Key fields and also in the table view of UNION operator I am getting any field to be added to table.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
in this case, you have to use the combine-operator. However, this operator needs a key-field in each of these sets. E.g. Combine set (customer-id, order-id, week, delivery-state) with set (customer-id, city, client-class).
The combine operator might not be available when compiling to webdynpro, I did not check that.

What To Do About Chatty Data Models?

I'm working on a legacy app that has some DAOs that are "chatty". There are multiple methods, each with different SQL, that bring back primitive values (e.g., double, String, etc.) This DAO is written in such a way that assembling one DTO to return to the client takes 70 distinct calls, each with its own network roundtrip.
What's the best way to go about correcting this?
Combining those disparate SQL queries into one big JOIN is a daunting task, made complicated by some other features in the implementation.
Is a stored procedure a possible solution? We're using Oracle 8i as the data store.
%

Then to use one stored proc you would need one of the
following...
- Stored proc that returns several result sets (which
I have never tried with Oracle)
- Or a combined result set that allows you to
seperate out the different collections from a single
row (probably with empty fields.)I was thinking the latter.
This sort of thing is one of the cases where MS SQL
Server is a lot easier than Oracle, you create some
temp tables, fill them and then just select them to
get the values. In one case I had to use a 'temp'
table for a complicated collection process in Oracle,
but for Oracle that means that a real table must
exist.Oracle is the platform here. I'm not at all knowledgable re:M$ SQL. Sounds like it could be a fine solution.
Obviously you could create several procs as well.There's some push back on that, too. Views are in vogue. But if I could write a single SELECT to create the VIEW I'd be able to rewrite the Java to bring all the database back in one go, too. It's not that easy.
Why does it need 70 calls? Something like getting
all of the telephone numbers they first get the list
(1 call) then get each tn with a seperate call rather
than using a single select in the first place? That
sort of thing is easily reduced and there is no need
for procs.Sometimes that's what they're doing. (JOINing on the middle tier.) There are other idioms in play, too.

Loading the different result sets in the same sequence for the target table

Dear all,
I have 5 tables say A,B,C,D as my source and i made 3 joins P,Q,R .the result sets of these 3 joins are loading into a target table X but with 3 different targets with same table name.
I created one sequence say Y as my target table has primary key and mapped to three different targets for the same target table which i need to load.
But after deployed and executed successfully ,i am able to load the data from three join result sets with differeent sequence numbers.
I am looking to load data like this.
If First Result set P has 10 Records,SEcond Result Set Q Has 20 and the third result set has 30 records then while loading data into first target it creates the seq for the 10 records from 1..10 and while loading the data for second result set ,it creates the sequence from 11 ...20 and while loading the third target with the third result set it creates the sequence from 21 ----30.
But i am looking to load the three result sets in the sequence 1to 10 but not like creating fresh sequence for each result set.
how can we achieve this in owb?
any solution for this will be appreciated.
thank you
kumar

My design is like following
SRC1
---->Join1--------------------------->Target1( Table X)<-----Seq1
SRC2
SRC3
----> Join2----------->Target2(Table X)<----Seq1
SRC4
-----> Join3 -------> Target3(Table X)<-----Seq1
SRC5
Here the three 3 targets are for the same Table X as well sequence is same i.e seq1
If the First Join has 10 rows ,Seq1 generates sequence in 1 to 10 while loading target1
But while loading second target,Same Seq1 is generating new sequence from 11 but i am looking to load target2 and target 3 starting from sequence 1 but not from 11 or so.
As per your comments :
you want to load 3 sources to one target with same sequence numbers?
yes
Are you doing match from the other two sources on first source by id provided by sequence (since this is the primary key of the table)?
No
can you please tell me how to approach for this?
Thank You
Kumar

Calling function in data model

Hello All,
I am having 1 issues in a report.
Here is what i am doing.
I created a type of varchar2 and created a function which will return me the output of type.
this runs fine in sqlplus but when i put the same query in data model and join another set of tables,the data model is not able to determine the output of the colums.It shoes me a question mark and not the varchar field.
Due to this my generation to xml is failing.
Pls help

Core Data, how default value is set @ XCode 4

Hi,
I updated XCode to 4.
Then, in core data modeling mode, I cannot set default value.
I couldn't find "default value" column. (only "Attribute" and "Type")
Where has it gone?

In the upper right corner there is a set of buttons with the label "View" and three buttons, the one on the right has a tooltip, "Hide or show the Utilities", and this is a quick way to slide the panel you are looking at in and out. I can't figure out if I can include a picture.

Enforcing use of class word as naming standard via data modeler preferences

Using data model preferences, I have set both the "attribute" and "column" naming standards to have mandatory name parts of both "prime word" and "class word". I have also used data model preferences to specify a glossary that has several terms of type "class word" defined.
My assumption is that if I set a column naming standard preference to have class word as a mandatory name part, then I can apply the default design rules in my relational model and it will list an error "column with wrong naming standards" if any of my column names don't have a name part that is on the list of class words in the specified glossary. Is that assumption correct? If so, it doesn't seem to be working for me...
How does SDDM determine if a class word is missing? I.e., how can I enforce a naming standard that all attribute/column names must have a class word from our approved list of class words?
Thanks!

My assumption is that if I set a column naming standard preference to have class word as a mandatory name part, then I can apply the default design rules in my relational model and it will list an error "column with wrong naming standards" if any of my column names don't have a >name part that is on the list of class words in the specified glossary. Is that assumption correct? yes it's correct.
If so, it doesn't seem to be working for me...one of the settings cannot be changed - it's "Abbreviated only" in "Preferences>Data Modeler>Naming Standard". So only abbreviated part from glossary is taken into account - I logged bug for that.
You can change it - it's in dl_settings.xml file in your design's directory - find - abbreviated_only="true".
How does SDDM determine if a class word is missingIt needs glossary and separator setting.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge to SPSS data files - Result Set Type is not supported

Hello,
As mentioned in the subject I am trying to read SPSS data files using the SPSS 32-Bit data driver, ODBC and the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
Using this SPSS Driver I manged to read the data directly into an MS-SQL Server using:
SELECT [...] FROM
OPENROWSET(''MSDASQL.1'',''DRIVER={SPSS 32-BIT Data Driver (*.sav)};DBQ=' SomePathWhereTheFilesAre';SERVER=NotTheServer'', ''SELECT 'SomeSPSSColumn' FROM "'SomeSPSSFileNameWithoutExt'"'') AS a
This works fine!
Using Access and an ODBC System DNS works for IMPORTING but NOT for LINKING.
It is even possible to read the data using the very slow SPSS API.
However, when it comes to JDBC-ODBC the below code does only work in part. The driver is loaded successfully, but when it comes to transferring data into the resultset object the error
SQLState: null
Result Set Type is not supported
Vendor: 0
occurs.
The official answer from SPSS is to use .Net or to use their implementation with Python in their new version 14.0. But this is obviously not an option when you want to use only Java.
Does anybody have experience with SPSS and JDBC-ODBC??? I have tried the possible ResultSet Types, which I took from:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/rjvdsprp.htm
and none of them worked.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and input & stay happy!

Thank you for your reply StuDerby!
Actually the above script was before, as you suggested, leaving the ResultSetTeype default. This did not work...
I am getting gray hair with SPSS - in terms of connectivity and "integratebility" none of their solutions offered is sufficient from my point of view.
Variable definitions can only be read by the slow API, data can only be read by Python or Microsoft Products... and if you want to combine both you are in big trouble. I can only assume that this is a company strategy to sell their Dimensions Platform to companies versus having companies developping their applications according to business needs.
Thanks again for any furthur suggestions and I hope, that some SPSS Developper will see this post!
Cheers!!

Merge data/result sets that are't parent/child?

Hi:
I've seen a few examples of making a data template so that a BI report can have master/detail data. They make a Q1 data set and a Q2 data set with a bind variable to link the two in a parent/child relationship.
But what I need is effectively a UNION. I have the same table on multiple database instances and I want to show the grouped results in one report as if it all came from one table. The master/detail examples have a section defining grouping but they group by Q1 (see here)
http://blogs.oracle.com/BIDeveloper/data_template/
and I need to group by a column that is in Q1 and Q2 to "merge" the two data sets.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks.

I've messed up what I had! lol
I'll try and recreate things tomorrow and get it to you, thanks.
I seem to be having some quirks with all this (or I'm just confused). I initially had a data model that selected a few columns and a count(*) an grouped the results. I modified the data model to not have the count but every time I do "insert table/chart" in RTF the count column shows up as a possible column to move over with >>. I've re-opened the document so it should have the latest data model. Is this normal? A bug? Am I just lost?
Thanks.

SCROLL_SENSITIVE result set can't see the data inserted.

hi all ,
I am trying to display all the latest data available in the table through SCROLL_SENSITIVE and UPDATABLE result set after inserting a new record in the table.
But the result set obtained after executing the query initially is not able to see the newly inserted record in the table and hence same result is getting printed out in both the cases.
Can u explain me what's happening in this case ?? And how can i get the updated record also without executing the statement query twice to get the latest result set.

Sure - but you could have answered your own question if you had read the doc link I gave you in your other thread and next time you post code use \ tags on the lines before and after the code - see the FAQ for info
17076 : Invalid operation for read only resultset
{quote}
•Internal INSERT operations are never visible, regardless of the result set type.
{quote}
See •Seeing Database Changes Made Internally and Externally in the JDBC Dev doc I pointed you to
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31224/resltset.htm#i1024720
Did you notice the words 'never visible'? You won't see them as part of the result set unless you requery.

Query Error Information: Result set is too large; data retrieval ......

Hi Experts,
I got one problem with my query information. when Im executing my report and drill my info in my navigation panel, Instead of a table with values the message "Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration" appears. I already applied "Note 1127156 - Safety belt: Result set is too large". I imported Support Package 13 for SAP NetWeaver 7. 0 BI Java (BIIBC13_0.SCA / BIBASES13_0.SCA / BIWEBAPP13_0.SCA) and executed the program SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN (in transaction SE38), with the object and the value like Note 1127156 says... but the problem still appears....
what Should I be missing ?????? How can I fix this issue ????
Thank you very much for helping me out..... (Any help would be rewarded)

You may ask your basis guy to increase ESM buffer (rsdb/esm/buffersize_kb). Did you check the systems memory?
Did you try to check the error dump using ST22 - Runtime error analysis?

WAD : Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration

Hi All,
When trying to execute the web template by giving less restiction we are getting the below error :
Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration
Result set too large (758992 cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum = 500000 cells)
But when we try to increase the number of restictions it is giving output. For example if we give fiscal period, company code ann Brand we are able to get output. But if we give fical period alone it it throwing the above error.
Note : We are in SP18.
Whether do we need to change some setting in configuration? If we yes where do we need to change or what else we need to do to remove this error
Regards
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
the standard setting for web templates is to display a maximum amount of 50.000 cells. The less you restrict your query the more data will be displayed in the report. If you want to display more than 50.000 cells the template will not be executed correctly.
In general it is advisable to restrict the query as much as possible. The more data you display the worse your performance will be. If you have to display more data and you execute the query from query designer or if you use the standard template you can individually set the maximum amount of cells. This is described over [here|Re: Bex Web 7.0 cells overflow].
However I do not know if (and how) you can set the maximum amount of cells differently as a default setting for your template. This should be possible somehow I think, if you find a solution for this please let us know.
Brgds,
Marcel

Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration

Hi,
While executing query for a given period, 'Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration' message is getting displayed. I had searched in SDN and I had referred the following link:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d047e1a1-ad5d-2c10-5cb1-f4ff99fc63c4&overridelayout=true

1) Transaction Code SE38
2) In the program field, entered the report name SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN and Executed.
3) For OBJECT, entered the following parameters: BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_MAX
4) For VALUE, entered the value for the size of the result set, and then executed the program:
After the said steps, the below message is displayed:
OLD SETTING:
OBJECT = VALUE =
UPDATE failed because there is no record
OBJECT = BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_MAX
Similar message is displayed for Object: BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_DEF.

Result Set Too Large : Data Retrieval restricted by configuration

Hi Guys,
I get the above error when running a large dataset, with a hierarchy on - but when I run without a hierarchy I am able to show all data.
The Basis guys increased the ESM buffer (rsdb/esm/buffersize_kb) but it still causes an issue.
Anyone any ideas when it comes to reporting large volumes with a hierarchy?
Much appreciated,
Scott

Hi there
I logged a message on service marketplace andg got this reply from SAP:
' You might have to increase the value for parameters
BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_DEF and BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_MAX as it
seems that the result set is still too large. Please check your
parameters as to how many data cells you should expect and set the
parameter accordingly.
The cells are the number of data points that would be send from abap
to java. The zero suppression or parts of the result suppression are
done afterwards. As a consequence of this, the number of displayed
data cells might differ from the threshold that is effective.
Starting with SPS 14 you get the information how many data cells are
rejected. That gives you better ways to determine the right setting.
Currently you need to raise the number to e.g. 2.000.000 to get all
data.
If BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_MAX is set to a lower value than
BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_DEF, it would automatically cut the value of
BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_DEF down to its own..
Please note that altough this parameter can be increased via
configuration, you should do a proper system sizing according to note
927530 to ensure that the system can handle the number of users and
resultset sizes you are expecting."
Our basis team have subsequently apllied these changes, and I will be testing today.
Thx

How should i use the two results sets in one single report data region?

Hi frnz,
I have to create a report using the below condition...
Here my given data set query gives you the two result sets ,so how should i use that two result sets information in single report....when i accessing that data set query it will take the values off the first result set not for the second result set.
without using sub report and look up functionality..... if possible
is there any way to achieve this.....Please let me know..
Thanks!

You cant get both resultsets in SSRS. SSRS dataset will only take the first resultset
you need to either create them as separate queries or merge them into a single resultset and return with ad additional hardcoded field which indicates resultset (ie resultset1,resultset2 etc)
Then inside SSRS report you can filter on the field to fetch individual resultsets at required places. While merging you need to make sure metadata of two resultsets are made consistent ie number of columns and correcponding column data types should be same.
In absence of required number of columns just put some placeholders using NULL
