Map dimension on Express database

hi to everybody
my problem regards Express Administrator. I would like Map some dimensions which reside on a relational database (Oracle 8i)
on an Express database.
Can someone help me?
you excuse for my English

Hi,
You need to use RAA (Relational Access Administrator), not Administrator. RAA allows you to map your DW to an Express database and use it with OSA or OEO - type app's.

Problem of Cube data in oracle express database

I am having one problem related to express server database created using relational access administrator. I am using express objects to create some adhoc analysis reports. For that i have created express database using Relational Access Administrator(RAA). I have done the following steps:
     1. Created Dimensions (D1,D2,D3)
     2. Created Variable V1 having dimensions (D1,D2,D3)
     3. Mapped D1 dimension to D1_table (dimension table in oracle schema) and same for the rest two also
     4. Mapped Vaiable to F1_Table (fact table in oracle schema)
     5. Saved this project in RAA.
     6. It will create one Data Cude related to vairable V1.
     7. I have created express database maintenance procedure using RAA
     8. Executed express database maintenance (created above) using Batch manager.
     9. Now I try to access V1 variable in express objects. "It shows me values for all related dimensions in this variable,      But it does not show me value for the fact related to this vaiable. It shows blank information."
     If you have any solution then please let me know.
     Thanks in advance.

Hi Visu,
You can do the selective deletion after carefully making the selections. It may also be a good idea to break up the delete process: Like if you need to delete 2004 data for one company code, then you can do that montt by month.
It is okay to include the compression in a process chain. What we usually do is to compress requests that are eg. older than 15 days. By that time we can be sure that this data is correct. You can also make these settings by number of requests to leave uncompressed.
Hope this helps...

How can I Purge in SQL Express database?

For development purposes, we created a Hyper-V VM running Windows 7 with BizTalk Server 2010 installed running against a SQL Express database. We also installed Visual Studio (licensed) for map development.
Over time, the BizTalk tables grow, and are taking up way too much storage space.
I looked at the "Microsoft recommended" method of purging the BizTalk database/tables, but it requires enabling a DTA job in SQL Agent which is not available in SQL Express (as far as I know.)
How can I purge the BizTalk tables in SQL Express to reclaim storage space?
Since this is a development platform, I do NOT care about ANY historical data being retained, only "system" data (such as parties, etc.)
Thanks!!
Jim Barr

You can use the various cleanup scripts to purge the database. Details:

Of course, you should not be using SQL Express.

How can I use an Express database build with RAA in Express Objects???

Hello, everybody!
I have installed Express Server and Client on my computer. I've build an Express database With Relational Access Manager mapping data from an Oracle database.
Now I want to use this express database in Oracle Express Objects.
I understand that an express database build with understand can be used by defining a connection to Express Server and using the option Relational Access Manager Connection.
But, I didn't understand the settings of this option. I open the settings window and there it is :
- the MASTER DATABASE Box where I have to write the name of the CUBE from the express database build with understand?
- the RDC File Box : what do I have to write here? I've read the HELP but I didn't understood. There is no file with the RDC extension in my computer.
Thank you for your help!

you can extend it, very easly, with an Airport Express.
once you connect the AExpress, on the App Airport Utility, in Wireless tab choose to "Extent a Network", you will be able to select your Network enter your Network Password and it is done
i have 2 AExpress to extend my signal and also to Airplay to Remote Speakers and works perfectly
good luck

Dimension on a database view

Hi,
Can we create a dimension on a database view instead of a table?
Thanks.

For the purposes of ETL within OWB you can use a view as the basis of a dimension, you cannot generate dimension DDL for a dimension based on a view you will get the following error when trying to deploy;
ORA-01702: a view is not appropriate here
CWM2 does support such a dimension.
Cheers

Number of available records in Oracle 10g express database

Hi,
I am facing problems in getting the number of available records in Oracle 10g express database with the following query.
string filename = dbObject.FILENAME;
string vendorID = dbObject.VENDOR_ID;
OracleCommand myCommand = _connection.CreateCommand();
myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ASSET_PROCESSING_OUTPUT WHERE *FILENAME = :filename AND VENDOR_ID = :vendorID*";
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("filename", filename);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("vendorID", vendorID);
OracleDataReader reader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
Using this command how can I get if the record exists in the database with the given value.
Thanks in advance.

It appears you're only executing the statement. You need to fetch the result to see the value returned by the SELECT statement.

Dimension table in database [H1]

Hi Expert,
Can Yours share some info with me about dimension table in database.
Example for my dimension Entity I have 3 parent in this dimension ,
then in database I will have table :
mbrEntity
dim_Entity
dim_EntityH1
dim_EntityH2
dim_EntityH3
The more parent I create in my dimension will generate more table.
I just want to know what is different between this 5 table.
Because some time I query for MDX I will need something like [Entity].[H1]
I just no idea what for need to put this.... [H1]
and some dimension just dunt need [H1]..
Thanks..

actually I want to know how come entity dimension have so many table like :
mbrEntity
dim_Entity
dim_EntityH1
dim_EntityH2
dim_EntityH3
meanwhile my dim category is only 2 table
mbrCategory
dim_Categorry
thanks.

Oracle Express Database to Microsoft SQL

We are trying PCM v13 and when we installed it we choose to go with the Oracle Express database, if i want to install PCM again but this time using a Microsoft SQL database can i migrate or convert the previous database ?
Also I would like to know if there is a method to migrate the database of PCM 13 to be compatible with a PCM v14
Thanks in advance

The dbsetup utility includes options for both migrating from one dbms to another, and also for converting from a prior version, so the answer to both questions is yes.

That single file is like a single piece of the puzzle. It alone cannot be the picture. Nor can you derive what the picture looks like from a single puzzle piece.

AXI memory mapped to PCI Express BAR0 size in Root Complex

I am using AXI memory mapped to PCI express (2.5) IP as a Root complex in my design.
I have selected the maximum BAR0 Size as 2 GB under PCIE:BARS and AXI-PCIe BAR translation as 0x00000000.
I want to access a memory in the host side of the Root complex using an endpoint.
When I tried to access the address more than 0x7FFF_FFFF from the endpoint in my testbench, the transaction is getting lost in the PCIe section of the IP. I don't see any AXI transaction in the output of the AXI.
Any transaction from the endpoint to address less than 0x80000000 goes through.
Is this a limitation in the IP?
What is the solution if we want to access 4GB of memory from the endpoint thorugh the Root complex?

Hi Suresh,
This is a known issue with the core. This is targeted for fix in the next Vivado release, where you will either have the option of selecting a 4G BAR for the RP, or masking out the RP BAR altogether, which will allow the full 4G memory space to accept requests from the downstream devices.

Mapping Dimension with a composite primary key in AWM

Hi, I have a dimension with 3 levels in a snowflake scheme. The Primary key (PK) of one of them is a composite pk.
Let's say: table1 (code_t1 (pk), desc_t1), table2 (code_t2 (pk), code_t1 (pk+fk), desc_t2)) and table3 (code_t3 (pk), code_t2 (fk), code_t1 (fk), desc_t3), being table3 the base level table.
I am using AWM 11.2.0.1.0A
My questions are:
1) can I have a level with a composite PK?
2) if yes, how should I do the mappings using AWM? It seems like you only can have one filed for the source column in the Mapping pane.
3) if no, is there any workaround?
Thank you.

I just tried this in AWM and it is clearly buggy in this area, in part because it is trying to change the underlying representation.
If you export the dimension to XML you should find an entry that looks like this for each level
<HierarchyLevelMap
KeyExpression="..."
Query="..."
JoinCondition="...">
</HierarchyLevelMap>
The 'Query' is the name of the table you are selecting from. For example, your level2 should have
Query="TABLE2"
The 'KeyExpression' is the expression that defines the AW dimension member for that level. For example, your level2 should have
KeyExpression= '(TABLE2.CODE_T2 || TABLE2.CODE_T1)'
The 'JoinCondition' defines how to join the table for a child level to that of its parent. For example, your level3 would ideally look like this
JoinCondition='(TABLE3.CODE_T2 = TABLE2.CODE_T2) AND (TABLE3.CODE_T1 = TABLE2.CODE_T1)'
But in your case it must be something different, probably 'TABLE3.CODE_T2 = (TABLE2.CODE_T2 || TABLE2.CODE_T1)'.
AWM must derive its Parent field from this JoinCondition in some way, and it appears to mess it up when you use concatenated key expressions. The workaround is to hand edit the XML to specify the JoinCondition correctly for your case and recreate the dimension from that XML. I would then avoid editing this particular mapping in AWM since it will mangle it.

Moving an existing SQL Express Database to SQL Server 2008 (included in SBS2011) help!

I have software that uses SQL 2005 right now, but the database is close the max size (4 GB). I have SBS2011 installed and it includes SQL 2008 and SQL 2008R2. I want to move the database to the 2008 version that can that can handle larger databases.
I'm not an SQL expert, but have some experience with it. What I need are some directions on how to make this change without causing any problems with the system, including setting up the SQL server so it will have all the same settings as the old one.
This is a practice management software.
Thanks in advance for any help. Harvey

Hi,
I think you can upgrade SQL Server 2005 to later version of SQL Server rather than moving the existing database to another SQL Server instance.
Upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP2 Express to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and SQL Server 2005 SP4 SQL Server 2012 Express. And you will have maximum 10 GB per database.
Make sure that your operation system is compatible with SQL Server
version which you want to upgrade to. For more information, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.105).aspx#SSE_x64
It is possible to backup and restore the database on another instance and modify the database path in the software.
You need to test it in your test environment first before making changes in the production environment.
In addition, you need to consult with the software developer and see if there is any potential issue.

Replacing a SQL Server 2005 Express Database with a SQL CE 3.5 database

I am just googling for the past few days to find out the answer to this problem..
I have an app developed over few man-years of effort - with vb.net and SQL 2005 Express Db. Now we use VS 2010 sp1 with .net 3.5 sp1. We have used plain T-SQL commands and the app was performing admirably well. The DB has about forty tables. The data
volume is about 200 to 300 mb max - but mainly it stays about 50 to 60 mb in many places. We are also using XML data transfers to backup the data.
Now we want to shift to SQL CE 3.5 or 4.0 - just to avoid the pain of SQL Express download and installation by the users. We have successfully created a 3.5 and 4.0 sdf files. But when we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file in the VS2010 settings
area, it just goes fine - the connection string is accepted and the app starts. But we get the usual error no 26 - unable to locate the database file - and a five line message that it is not able to connect to the sql server.
Are we missing something ? We have included the sqlce dll in the references.. but just not able to make the app connect to the sdf file..
All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app - but just we are not able to connect to the sdf database.
We would appreciate help in this regard and also in doing a build with SQL Ce with Inno Setup which we have been using so long.
Finally there is too much of SQL CEs around - but 3.5, 3.5 sp2 and now CE 4.0 seems to be ones to go in for. Which one is really the best for our app - 3.5 or 4.0 ?
Thanks in advance.

we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file ... All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app...
Agree with Erik, just changing the connection string don't work, you have to use data access components from
System.Data.SqlServerCe Namespace instead of
System.Data.SqlClient Namespace

Mapping dimension table to fact table in admin tool 10g

Hi
I have a criteria when it is run uses fact 1 as fact table and gives result, and when I add new column to this criteria an extra dimension(dim1) gets added to query backend and fact 1 changes to fact2.
The problem I am facing over here is both should result same amount for records. but due to new column from dim1 and new fact table fact2the amount varies and inaccruate results have come.
When I have checked the sources for Fact in logical layer i can find these facts(fact1,fact2) where fact 1 is not mapped with dim 1 and fact 2 is mapped with dim1.
Will mapping dim1 to fact1 will solve my problem.. And what would be the steps to add/map dim1 to fact1.
Please suggest.

I just checked back the setting and here are the changed details again.
I have a criteria where when it is run, the backend query is formed with f1 fact table.
And for the same criteria when I add a column c1, the backedn query is formed with f2 fact table and f1 is no more here and one new dimension d1 consisting c1 is getting added.
In both the cases results are different..the expected thing is same results.
Note:
d1 is connected to f2 checked in physical diagram
d1 is not connected to f1 checked in physical diagram.
when I checked the connection between three table in physical diagram. Only d1 and f2 are connected and f1 is not connected to either of table. How to go about this issue.
Please suggest.
