Load cube data at multiple levels

Hi All,
I have a time dimension with following hierarchies.
all_time --> Year --> Quarter -->Month
all_time -->Week
My fact table contains data at week and month level. I mapped my fact table time_key to both levels(Week and month) in AWM but when I load data into cube AWM loading data only at week level and ignoring all moths facts rows in facts table. How can I load data at both levels?

Thanks
Dileep.

I am trying to wrap my mind around your design. It appears that you have a fact table with two levels of granularity. Why not just have one hierarchy with a granularity at the week level?
All Time --> Year --> Quarter --> Month --> Week
Do you have some facts that relate only to a month level? If so, can you just relate the month total to one of the weeks in the month? Or is it acceptable to just have data at the month level and eliminate the week level?
If your week and month data are mutually exclusive, you could run into problems. When you look at data rolled up to the year level, for example, it would exclude the data that was inserted at the week level.
When I think of multiple hierarchies of time, I first think of calendar years versus fiscal years. The two hierarchies are completely unique due to a business requirement, yet they are clearly related as measures of time (years, months, etc.). But a fiscal month never rolls up into a calendar quarter, or a calendar day into a fiscal week or year, because the hierarchies are distinct. But the fact table is at only one level of granularity (day or week or month), no matter how it rolls up into the separate hierarchies.
At first glance, your two hierarchies look like they should be one.

Load ODS data into multiple cubes

I have an ODS that has global data. I need to load the ODS data to multiple cubes based on region and year. The delta is setup between ODS and cubes. How do we go about doing this in 3.x and 7.0 and is there any difference in the procecure between these two versions.
Regards,
Ram.

Hi Ram.
In BI 7.0, you need to create separate Transformations from your Data Store object (DSO) to all the Multiple cubes. For each transformation you then have to create a Data transfer process (DTP). In the DTP you can select data based on the Region and Year.
DTP data selection
1. Open the DTP
2. Goto the Extraction Tab
3. There will be a "Filter" button opposite to the Extraction mode.
4. By using this Filter button you can do data selection on different fields.
In BW 3.x you need to create update rules instead of transformations. The following link should give you more details

Loading cube data

Hi Exprets
We have a cube in production from which we would need to use data for a new cube.
How do we load the entire cube data (including compressed data) to the new cube?
Thanks Much
Jason

Hi Jason,
1.) Create update rules for the new cube from the old cube.
1.2) In update rule give the old cube name and maintain mapping.
2.) In infosource -> Create InfoPackage under the Data marts for the infosource with name 8XXXXXX(8Source cube name)
3.) Perform full load.

How can I load a data in multiple period with a rule files?

Hi!
I need to create a rule file the permit me to load a record with multiple period.
How can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
Bye

As Glenn said, these two types are the typical input files.
two ways that I can easily think of, but there are more.
1. Have a row memberwith the period so for sample basic, the row would look lik
cola,ny,actual,sales,Jan,100
First case in the rule file you have to map all the member fileds with the dimension name and the data column with the data field.
2. Have the data for each month as as the column members
Here is the header followed by a data sample(again for sample basic)
Product,Market,Scenario,Measure,Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec
1oo-10,NY,Actual,Sales,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,010,122,111,222,333
Second case in the rule file you have to map all the member fileds with the corresponding dimension name and the multiple data columns with the corresponding member names for that dimension.

How to load text data from multiple source systems.

Hello Gurus,
I am facing an issue of loading master data text into 0Material. I have loaded attribute data from 2 source systems. But i am not able load text data from the same 2 source systems as i am not able to see 0logsys in transfermation rules of 0MATERIAL.
Please gimme some inputs to proceed.
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi,
I dont think that you need the source system info here, texts are mapped to attributs and attributs to source systems.
so try to load simply:
material key, text, lang (optional)
Hope it helps.

Thanks in advance !

Hello,
Do you need to do this tranformation through OWB mapping only? And can you please tell what type of source you are using? Is it a flat file or a table?

Can we load data for all levels in ASO cube

Hi All,
Can we load data for all levels of members in ASO cube in 9.3.1.
Regards

Yes you can load data for all levels in an ASO cube in any version HOWEVER, none of the upper level data in any cube will be there when you look for it. You will get a warning message in the load because ASO cubes don't store data at upper levels. It is the same as loading data into dynamic calc members in BSO cube. It will do the load without compalints, but there will be no data there (At least you get the warning in ASO)

Loading facts at multiple levels

Hi
I have a cube with six dimensions. For one of those six dimensions I get data at all levels so what I want to do is load data at all levels and choose no aggregation for that particular dimension. I need levels in that dimension because I have other cubes in same AW for which I get only leaf level data for all dimensions. How can I load data at all levels for a given dimension?
olap version: 11.2.0.3
Thanks
Dileep.

In AWM you should be able to drag the dimension key column from the fact table to multiple levels of the hierarchy.
At the XML level you should see elements in the cube map like this:
<CubeDimensionalityMap
Name="MY_DIM"
Dimensionality="MY_DIM"
MappedDimension="MY_DIM.MY_HIER.LEAF_LEVEL"
Expression="MY_FACT.MY_DIM_COLUMN">
</CubeDimensionalityMap>The MappedDimension attribute instructs the server to load data at the LEAF_LEVEL only. To get it to load at all levels you can simply delete the MappedDimension line and recreate the cube. If you then look in the AWM mapping screen you should see MY_FACT.MY_DIM_COLUMN mapped to all levels within MY_DIM.MY_HIER.
There are a few cases where this will not work, so be warned! Here are some that I can think of.
(1) If you have an MV on the cube
(2) You are partitioning by the dimension
(3) The expression for the CubeDimensionalityMap comes from the dimension table.
Case (3) sometimes happens because users map to a dimension table column instead of to a fact table column wwhen they are different sides of the table join. For example if the table join condition is "MY_FACT.MY_DIM_COLUMN = MY_DIM_TABLE.KEY_COLUMN" then some people map to the expression MY_DIM_TABLE.KEY_COLUMN instead of to MY_FACT.MY_DIM_COLUMN. If this is true, then you can just change the expression to point to the fact column. A legitimate case of (3) happens where the fact table contains data at a lower level (e.g. DAY) than what is loaded into the AW (e.g. MONTH). A solution there is to create a VIEW that does the correct join and then map the cube to the VIEW.

Can we load data for all levels in ASO?

Hi All,
Im creating cube in ASO
can i load data for all levels in ASO
we can load data for all Levels In BSO but in ASO i need confirmation????
and one more
wat is the consider all levels option in ASO is used for ? wat is the purpose?
Can any one help ,it would be appriciate.
Thanks

In an ASO cube you can only load to level zero
The consider all levels if used for aggregation hints. It allows you to tell the aggregation optimizer to look at all levels when deciding if aggregation needs to be done on the dimension

In ASO cubes you can only load data at level 0 (=leaf level). Every upload to aggregated dimension members are ignored. The warning message "ignore update to derived cells" is meaning that you are trying to load data at node level. As this is not possible with ASO cubes, essbase ignores that data.

Is it possible to load data at aggregated level directly

Hi All,
My question may sound vague but still would like to clarify this.
Is it possible to load data at some higher level than the leaf level? The reason for asking this question is that we are facing severe performance issues while loading the cube.
We are trying to reduce the number of members which inturn can reduce the loading time. On this attempt to reduce the number of members client said that there are 3 million leaf members(out of 4.3 million total members) for which they do not bother if they appear on report or not but they want to see the total value correct. i.e. the dimension will be only loaded with 1.3 million(4.3 - 3) members but the total can still be correct(including the 3 million leaf members).
Is it possible to have two loads one at leaf level only and other at parents and above levels.
DB - 10.2.0.4
Also I want to know when do we use allocmap? how does this work?
Regards,
Brijesh

Hi Carey,
Thanks for your response.
I worked on your suggestion and I could able to load data at higher level for a value based hierarchy. But I met with a other problem while doing this.
I am describing this as a level based but while loading we are converting to value based hierarchy.
we have following levels in the customer dimension having two hierarchy
hier1
lvl1
lvl2
lvl3
lvl4
lvl5
prnt
leaf
hier2
level1
level2
level3
level4
prnt
leaf
so prnt and leaf is common levels are common in both the hierarchies but we were facing multipath issues in second hierarchy and we work around it by concatenating the level name.
In attemp to decrease the number of this dimension member(currrently 4.3 million) business suggested that there are some kind of customer for which they dont want to see the data at leaf and prnt level instead the level4 or lvl5 should have the total consisting of those members. So by this way we need not to load those members and they were making up 2.4 million out of 4.3
To implement above I did following.
1. Created six hierarchies.
one to have members from level4 till level1
second to have members from lvl5 till lvl1
third to have all members of hier1
fourth to have all members of hier2
fifth will have leaf and prnt of hier1
sixth will have leaf and prnt of hier2
In fifth and sixth hierarchy leaf is common but prnt is different due to the concatenation.
In the cube I am selecting the aggregation hierarhies as first,second,fifth and sixth. hierarchies third and fourth will be used for viewing the data.
Fact will have data corresponding for leaf level data,level4 and lvl5.
The challenge I am facing is that if there is some fact value for leaf level loaded through relational fact but no value being loaded through fact for lvl5 or level4 I am not seeing the total value as leaf value is aggregating till prnt level and no value at level4 or lvl5 so same is propagated till lvl1 and level1.
I tried to be as clear as possible but still if there is any confussion pls update the thread. I understand that the approach is vague but I am not seeing any other way.
Thanks

Loading data at parent levels

I have actuals data available at the day level but plan is available only at month level. Month is level 1, and I'm thinking about loading plan to this level. Are there any problems with doing this? What are the things I need to be careful about? I will be doing a nightly level 0 export of the data, clearing the database, reloading the export, then loading new data and calc-ing the cube.Thanks for your help.

Well, there are a few problems to worry about. First, you must ensure that your database is not set to Aggregate Missing Values (database seting) - otherwise your upper level values will be made #Missing if all of the children are #Missing.Second, if you want to write back to level 1 of Time, you cannot make those members Dynamic calc, which takes away a big optimization tool. It is probably easier (from a cube admin perspective) to either create dummy members to load the plan to, or chosing one month in each quarter in which to input the plan. At the upper levels of time, the data will look the same as if you input it at that level.Regards,Jade----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Cube to cube data loading

hi all
i am trying to reduce the no of records in the cube
let me explain in detail
i am trying to load data from 0sd_co2 where i got data at week level <i got the records for every week>
i want to use the data for monthly the same records
to do that i am trying to load the data to other cube for monthly transactions
how do i do that
pls explain me in detail
<or even if i got transactions every day level then how do i change to weekly level so that i can reduce the num of records >
thanks in advance

Hi Shiva,
1. Create an export datasource on your cube 0SD_C02.
2. Create a cube similar to 0SD_C02 with one chnage. Use 0CALMONTH instead of 0CALWEEK.
3. Now in the update rules for the new cube convert the 0CALWEEK to 0CALMONTH.
