Infocube Dimension Design Help

Hi All,
We are working to design an new infoCube.Unfortunately we donot have the luxury to use Line Itme Dimension.So we have decided to use the characteristics in a dimension which are most accessed order.Please suggest a way to find out the most used charactoristic in a dimension
Regards,
Ravi

Hi,
Out of my knowledge, the only way to see which characteristic is being mostly used is to see the queries on that data target.
Hope the following points helps you:
1. The order of characteristics in a dimension does not effect the performance, its the characteristics used in the dimension which effects the performance.
2. See the relation i.e (1:1, 1: Many, Many:1, Many:Many, etc) between the characteristics in the dimension, and then decide whether to keep all the characteristics in the same dimension or keep them in different dimensions.
3. Once you know the relation between these characteristics, you can judge, what will be the size of the dimension table if we keep all the characteristics in the same dimension and what will be the size if we keep them in different dimensions.
4. Also, functionally know why that cube was built? what data this cube holds? what kind of reports are bulit on this cube? How much data will this cube hold? If we have answers for all these questions then you can derive the answer for yor question.

Dimension Design Help

I need some help correctly defining a dimension for use in SSAS 2008r2 as I tend to believe there is a more proper way to then what I have. My existing dimension data is below. The dimension data is static. The SalesTypeID is actually just
a bogus ID I added. It does not exist in my source system and I have to actually join this dimension to the source fact data on the text values as the source system does not have any interger based ID's related to each SalesType. The source query
has a CASE statement to derive each SalesType as the values shown in the dimension below. The SalesType Key is my surrogate key, with the 0 key my unknown. I also need to create a hierarchy in the dimension that would allow the drilldown of TypeA to TypeB
to TypeC to TypeD.
With the data I currently have in the dimension, will I be able to create the proper attribute relationships to have this hierarchy? What changes would I need to do to in order to make this work as expected?
I can change my source query as needed.
Thanks!

Hi,
you'll be able to create attribute relationships with current data if you'll create composite keys for lower levels in hierarchy. Eg. SalesTypeD would have composite key SalesTypeA,SalesTypeB,SalesTypeC,SalesTypeD and Name column SalesTypeD

Unable to toggle between LiveCycle Designer & Help

If we opened the LiveCycle Designer Help window, we are unable to switch to the Designer util the help window is minimized. This is slightly annoying the developers.
It would be better if it can behave like other applications (e.g. Adobe Workbench ES)

I am unable to duplicate the problem you are experiencing. I was able to use Acrobat Pro 9 and X, to apply the Reader Extension permissions (to the sample form I posted earlier) and open and sign the form in both Reader 9 and X.
What is the exact version of Acrobat you are using to apply the Reader Extension rights. The dialog I see when doing so with Acrobat 9 Pro is...
If you are using Acrobat Standard, it seems there is a limitation (save data only) on the Reader Extension permissions that you can apply.

An Index can improve the reading performance when data is searched for values of fileds contained in the index.
The fact whether the Index is used or not depends on the database optimizer, which decides it after taking the following under consideration:
- Size of the table
- Fields in the index compared to the fields in the statement
- The quality of the index (its clustering factor)
One backdraw of Index is that they decrease writing performance, as they are maintained during the write to the table.
Hope it helps you,

VSDT 2010 DSV pane in dimension designer not displaying table

Hi,
I'm using VSDT 2010 with SQL Server 2012 on Win 8.1 64 bit.
I've found that in some of my dimensions the DSV pane of the dimension designer no longer
display the table.
Furthermore, the KeyColumns window shows the wrong table for the columns selected and
it can't be changed. Better said it can be changed but the changes are not saved after clicking on the OK button.
Has anyone seen this kind of behavious before?
Regards,
Mario
Mario Techera all-BI GmbH Germany

Hi Mario1,
According to your description, you find the dim tables are not appearing in DSV, and the source table shows improper table in SSDT. Right?
In this scenario, it seems like the month table is not existing so it changes into the balance_structure table. Please test connection in data source. Right click on the DSV pane in dimension, select all tables to see if the month table is existing. Refresh
the Data Source View to check all tables. If you still can't see the tables related to Month dimension in Add/Remove tables, please go to database engine and restore the source database if necessary.

Non-profit needs Dreamweaver design help

Small non-profit serving homeless veterans and veterans in crisis needs design help with Dreamweaver website. The website was created as a school project by university students but there are some design issues that we are not able to correct.

It appears to be template driven so the basic layout is inside your site folder's Templates directory -- main.dwt. This file drives the site wide elements such as navigation, common headers, footers and sidebars.
Child pages created from that main.dwt file contain editable regions for content that will change from page to page. Only content in these editable regions are editable from child pages.
Whoever will be responsible for updating content should get familiar with CSS & HTML code. This is required knowledge to work with Dreamweaver.
Start here:
HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
Code validation tools
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
http://validator.w3.org/
Also thoroughly read DW's Help docs (F1) under working with DW Templates.
It looks like the students did a pretty fair job of building the basic site for you. Now it's up to your org to swap out the generic stuff with relevant content. I don't advise you to alter the basic layout or structure. It's all there. You just need to get up to speed on how to work with it.

Need some design help

Well "overall" design help. This project MUST be open source so it does ensure i am very efficent in my design
Basically my system is going to be a bunch of work stations that tunnel into a server to send the data.
Now the big issue is, each work station must encrypt its own data and save it on its HD, but it must send data to the server for the server to save it and encrypt it (redundency).
The big issue is sending data to the server. the keys, how do i securely send them to the server so they can decrypt the stream? everything will randomly generate its key whenever the user (or the system) decides it is time to for the sake of not resuing keys.
basically we are going to use linux, lock down all ports but one to use sockets to communicate with the server (and vice versa). this adds an extra layer just so we can authenticate with the server machine (and client machines when the server sends it a request)
help? more info needed?

I know (next to) nothing about system security (well,
not enough to be advising people, anyway) - but the
key distribution problem is typically solved by using
Public Key Cryptography to exchange a Session Key.
Have you thought about using an existing system like
SSL or Kerberos?eh SSL won't really work... i a mgoing to pick up "Cryptography Decrypted" apparently it is a good book to pick up some of the things i need

Design help to the forms

Hi gayes
I need your help in designing help to any any working screen such that when the user push F1 buttons , click the right buttons of the mouse and choose help from the popmenu,or choose help from the menu bar . It must give him the correct help.
Also this "help screen" how could I make it,and connect it to the help of windows98 to work.
Thanks

Hi Kimberg Howe,
You have several alternatives to generate a .hlp file. You can do it manually in words and save the file as a rich-text-format (.rtf), and then use the Microsoft Help Workshop (a Free Program obtainable from www.microsoft.com site) but realize that you will have to code all the Winhelp engine commands and that's some task. However, you can investin some WYSWYG winhelp file generators. I guess it is not appropriate to suggest any in this forum, but you can do a search on any search engine for keyword "Winhelp", or you can also search on www.download.com
What this program will do for you is to allow you design your help file and then generate the .hlp for you, some of these programs can also allow you to generate html files that is suitable for web forms.
I hope this help.

Design Help! Add new lines

Hi All,
I need a design help for adding extra lines on an existing order.
I have a page with 2 subtabs, first one is for order header info inputs and second one is for line info inputs. The line subtab base on user selection may generate mutile lines in lineVO (multiple rows). After user clicked an apply button on line subtab, a header row will be committed into header table and line row(s) will be in line table.
I was trying to have another button to allow user enter extra lines after committed existing header and line VO. After user click the "add extra line" button, I retain AM to keep header VO but flush out line VO, with this way, framework will try to delete lines in line table.
Since there are lots logic requirements, I can't keep adding lines after line VO.last() without committing first round line entering.
How can I keep Header VO, clean line VO, then enter new line(s) info as ADD but not DELETE/UPDATE? any suggestion??
Thanks & Regards,
KJ

Hi Shreya,
I am not sure about giving new line in each and every page, but there is an alternate. You can show all data in one single page. That is how much ever records you have, they will be shown on one single page, instead of spanning across multiple pages. You can achieve this by changing the property "Number of Data rows displayed at once" from default 100 to 0.
Hope it helps.

2 facts and 1 dimension design in RPD

Hi All,
Approach 1:
I have a Fact which I am creating as a dimension and there is another fact which is joined to the same dimension.
The same process I am following in BMM layer and trying to work by setting content level.
But when I am dragging column all the 3 tables I am getting no results. Individually I am getting data.
Approach 2:
I made only one with 2 facts as a sources of that fact and tried to join with dimension in BMM layer setting the apprpriate content level.
Even in this case also I am unable to get result in the answers with all the 3 tables no results is what it is displayed.
Approach 3:
This is 3 approach I made. Like instead of creating join in the physical layer between same 2 aliases of the same table I have duplicated in the BMM layer and made a join there but still I get no results with all the 3 tables.
Any help will be appreciated on this issue. As early as possible.
Thanks

Dimension Design - Single Dimension with Multiple Hierarchies

Morning,
the purpose of this discussion is to understand how we should design a specific dimension with 3 levels and multiple hierarchies for optimal performance.
We have an institution dimension with the following characteristics:
Characteristics
Dimension: Institution
Levels:
1. Total Bank (TB) Level
2. Peer Group (PG) Level
3. Institution Level
Hierarchies:
1. Some of the hierarchies have 3 levels and others have only 2 levels (Skip Level)
2. ALL the hierarchies have a TB level and an Institution level
3. None of the hierarchies have the same leafs
4. Some of the hierarchies leafs can overlap
Design:
We are considering two approaches for the institution dimension levels:
a)
Levels:
Hierarchy 1 TB Level
Hierarchy 1 PG Level
Hierarchy 1 Inst Level
Hierarchy 2 TB Level
Hierarchy 2 Inst Level
Hierarchy 3 TB Level
Hierarchy 3 Inst Level
Note:
This approach is working and the resulting dimension and cubes are used by OBIEE, but some of the OBIEE analysis takes a long time (more than a minute) to return the results.
At this point, we are not sure whether this approach will result in an optimal design from a performance perspective and are looking at restructuring the dimension to represent only the three conceptual levels as indicated below.
b)
Levels:
1. Total Bank (TB) Level
2. Peer Group (PG) Level
3. Institution Level
The rest of the dimension i.e. hierarchies, attributes and mappings are defined in the same way.
The cube associated with this dimension have approximately 80 million records.
Please advise on any best practices or design considerations that we need to take into account.
Thanks

No, it is not possible to have multiple hiearchies in a PC logical dimension.
The concept of the Parent-Child (PC) hierarchy is completely different from the level-based hierarchy. Specifically the PC hierarchy expects a predefined / architected table with corresponding PC column/value structuring with or without attributes.
Short story even shorter it is not possible.
Longer...
In the RPD the BMM actually prevents you from adding a new logical level, child level, or parent level when you have selected that the logical dimension be a parent child logical dimension with Parent-Child hierarchy.
On another note...
Have you tried architecting/building your PC source table so that it represents the roll-up and bottom child-levels like you are seeking? That is, that same member in the child column more than once having a separate parent value. That should be doable.
That was a great question, please award points if this answered your question or it was helpful.
Cheers,
Christian

Query chart design: Help on design

Hi,
i have a query which has every information regarding sales and deliveries !
Now i need to design a chart where in it can show the chart as columns for the sales documents delivered whether early, late or on time!
I do have promised date as a char used in the selection in the query.
i aslo need to differentiate the deliveries ( of how early or how late)
range clusters to deferentiate the results
in other words, -5 to +2 is one range          ( on time range )
                       -8 to + 5 is one range
                       -11 to + 9 is one range like that
Can any body help me of how can i build query chart ?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hello VC,
    Thanks for your reply, and now the problem is in almost finished state, but im facing another problem.
      As you explained 100 Contract Account are selected based on the specific creteria.if i put the variable of defination (Count(1)) in column, instead of showing 100 in result it is showing more than that.
      And Here in my Cube Contract Account is a Dimension (you might be knowing, just mention for the sake of info).
      And my report looks like
Contract Account(row) | Formula (Count(1)) (Col)| Contract Account selection creteria1 (Col) | Contract Account selection creteria2 (Col)|..............
Hope this will give you clear picture. if no let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Umashankar

Roaming and 2.4 vs 5.0 on 1250 series AP design help

Hello,
I will be upfront and honest and state that although I am familiar with some wireless technologies, most of this stuff is a mystery to me. I have done some homework and have researched quite a bit, but have ind of hit a wall.
I have been handed four Aironet 1250 series AP's all with the dual radio modules (2.4 and 5.0). I really need to use only one of the modules so that we can power it via POE and not enchanced POE (long story).
So, I need help with a design. Here's what I'd like to see.
1. I would like to setup "roaming" so that when a wireless client goes from one AP to another it is seamless to the user and the users NIC will associate with the strongest AP signal. Can I do this by simply setting the same SSID and security on each AP, or must I have a controller to do this?
2. Also, I cannot seem to get older legacy clients to communicate with the 5.0 Ghz radio module (they can’t even see it) but they work fine when I switch it out for the 2.4. I know this is a very noob question, but can the older clients (non N) work on the 5.0 module)
I have looked through a ton of documentation but there doesn’t seem to be a configuration guide that I can find for what I need to do.
That’s it. Can someone please have mercy on me and point me in the right direction? I will be looking in the mean time but I have a lot of unknowns. I think if I can get the two questions answered above, then I can mark as resolved and run with it.
Thanks a bushel,
dt

Hi Dave,
1. Yes, the conditions for a proper roaming are : same SSID, same security settings, and the APs serving the same client subnet (so that client doesn't have to change its ip address).
This is sufficient for data, Fast roaming is required for applications like voice and you can then look into using cckm as key mechanism and configure one AP to act as WDS to centralize the roaming keys.
2. This is not related. 11n is available on both 2.4 and 5 ghz band. The question is if your old adapters are capable of 802.11a or not. 11a is the 54Mbps speed in the 5ghz band. I would guess they are not capable of it.
Adapters that are on laptop now are often "abgn" meaning they can do N speeds on both 2.4 and 5ghz band. An adapter that would be "bg" or "bgn" would typically be restricted to only 2.4 Ghz.
Hope this helps,
Nicolas
