Mix source data with different granularity into the same fact table?

I have two transaction tables "Incident (157 columns)" and "Unit (70 Colums)". For every "Incident" that happens there could be one or more records in the "Unit" table.
As part of my data mart design, I have merged both the tables into a single Fact "Incident Fact (227 Columns)" and inserted the records from both the tables with a join condition between them [incident.IN_NUM = Unit.IN_NUM].
Is this correct, is my question? or am I mixing source data with different granularity in the same fact table. Appreciate your help.
Best Regards

Bees,
Are the measures from 'Incident' , repeated for a given incident where it has more than one record in the Unit table ? If so, then the sum(indicent.measure) will give an incorrect result, no ?
What requirement is there to physically merge the tables together outside of OBIEE? With OBIEE you could have one logical 'fact' table to present to report users, which sourced from seperate Incidents and Units tables and would stop the incorrect aggregations occuring. A common modelling piece in the same way would be Order Headers and Order Lines, quite common in OBIEE to have a logical 'Orders' fact which contained both Order header measures and Order line measures, this translates to your Incidents -> Units relationship.
To do what I've mentioned, is relatively straight forward, you need a 'Dim - Incident' with two levels, Incident and Unit, mapp the unique identifiers in as the level keys and then use these levels to set the content levels correctly in your 2 logical tables sources for logical 'Fact' , ie Incidents LTS at incident level, Units LTS as units level.
Hope this helps, let us know if you get stuck.
Cheers
Alastair

Ability to process several raw files with the same content but with different exposure into the single picture

Can you add to the Lightroom an ability to process several raw files with the same content but with different exposure into the single picture?
Base raw files can be given with exposure bracketing during shooting, for example.
The goal - to get maximum details in darks and lights (if we use the "ligths recovery" or "fill lights" we lose the quality because raw file just have no all required information).
The similar (but not the same, only the idea) thing - is High Dynamic Range Photography in Adobe Photoshop
Thank you

The plugin LR/Enfuse does this already. And of course Photomatix have a plugin available for Lightroom. This essentially amounts to pixel editing, which is beyond the range of Lightroom's metadata editing.

Can we write data to different sheets in the same excel output file ?

Hi,
I am using XML publisher and generating output in the excel sheet format.
Is it possible to write the data to different sheets on the same excel file using XMLP?
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Raj.

Hi,
No, it's not possible with 5.6.2. Excel based templates are supposed to be coming but I don't know when the release date will be.
Thanks

Data from different databases in the same report.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to build a reconciliation report in which I need to show the data from the source and target, side by side.
Source and target are both different databases, although being oracle only
Whenever a new data model is created, it gets attached to a data source and in the report we need to choose a specific data model.
Can we have data from different databases in the same report ?

Yes, it is possible.
One way Is to use dataTemplates. There you can make queries from any number of different databases (The max I have done is 5).
It looks something like that:
<dataTemplate name="NameOfTemplate">
<dataQuery>
     <sqlStatement name="Q1" dataSourceRef="Connection1">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table1]]>
     </sqlStatement>
     <sqlStatement name="Q2" dataSourceRef="Connection2">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table2]]>
     </sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
     <group name="RESULT1" source="Q1">
          <element name="P_FIRST_NAME" value="P_FIRST_NAME"/>
     </group>
     <group name="RESULT2" source="Q2">
          <element name="P_DATE" value="P_DATE"/>
     </group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>dataStructure is very important when you get data from different places, if you don't define those elements, then only the result from Q1 is shown.
The second possible way is to make as two different data models, each containing their own query and then set Main Data Set as concatenated SQL Data Source.
Best of luck,

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

Unable to copy database with different name in the same instance

I had a huge database and wanted to try some change optimization changes.
So wanted to make a copy of the database along with data in the same instance.
I have tried copy database wizard several times but always see the error as in attachment.
Can someone let me know how to troubleshoot further?
If this is not the correct way please suggest how do i copy a database with different name in the same instance along with data.

Hi Nandu,
From the screenshot, the error 1813 happens when corrupt database log is attempted to attach to the SQL Server. To work around this issue, please preform the following steps, for more details, please review this
blog.
1. Create a new database with same name which you want to recover. Make sure that the MDF file and LDF file have same name with previous database data and log file.
2. Stop SQL Server. Move original MDF file from old location to new location by replacing just created MDF file. Delete the LDF file of new location just created.
3. Start SQL Server. At this point, the database is in suspect status.
4. Make sure that system tables of Master database allows to update the values. Please note that you will be performing this in query window.
Use Master
go
sp_configure 'allow updates',1
reconfigure with override
go
5. Change database mode to emergency mode.
SELECT *
FROM sysdatabases
WHERE name = 'DatabaseName'
BEGIN
UPDATE sysdatabases
SET status = 32768
WHERE name = ' DatabaseName '
COMMIT TRAN
6. Restart SQL Server. Then execute the following DBCC command in query window to create new log file.
DBCC TRACEON (3604)
DBCC REBUILD_LOG(databasename,'c:\yourdatabasename_log.ldf')
GO
7. Reset the database status using following command.
sp_RESETSTATUS yourdatabasename
GO
8. Turn off the update to system tables of Master database running following script.
USE MASTER
GO
sp_CONFIGURE 'allow updates',0
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO
9. Reset the database status to previous status.
BEGIN
UPDATE sysdatabases
SET status = (value retrieved in first query of step 5)
WHERE name = 'DatabaseName‘
COMMIT TRAN
GO
Make sure that you have done all the steps in order and restarted SQL Server where it is mentioned. Also run SQL Server Management Studio as administrator.(Right click-> Run as Administrator)
Thanks,

Invoice posting with different currency for the same PO

Hi,
Can we post the the Invoice with different currencies for the same PO.
For example.
PO has Qty 100 pcs. amount 100 USD
GR Qty 100 pcs.
Is it possible to post Invoice of 50 pc with 50 USD, and 50pcs with some other currency.
Any sugggestions pls.
Thanks,
Satya

Hello
As per my knowledge, that is not possible.
And in whjat scenario, we need to do that?
In MIRO header itself we have the vendor currency, so it is not posbile to maintain different currency in different line items in MIRO.
If you want, you can do MIRO in different currency that what is in PO.
In the example given, you have o post 2 invoices, one for 50 qty in USD and the other 50 in different currency in other invoice transaction by giving the currency in basic data-invoice header and then only press ENTER after giving the PO number.
Hope this helps
Regards

Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
(Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
The second is a bit trickier.

How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?

Hi, here's a question:
How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
Thanks for you answers,
Doug

Your apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others.

Apex mixes applications working with two windows at the same time

Hi all, while developing in Apex I have found the following problem:
Working with two different applications at the same time, the browser goes from one to another indistinctly.
To reproduce the problem:
1. Open the same application builder in two different Firefox windows
2. Open a different application in each window (In my case: application 103 in window1 and application 105 in window2)
3. Go to shared components in both windows (window1 first)
- window1 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application 103 > Shared Components
- window2 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application 105 > Shared Components
4. Click in any shared component in window1 (Templates, Authentication Schemes...)
- window1 breadcrumbs show: Home > Application Builder > Application *105* > Shared Components > Templates (Application 105 instead of 103)
Is it a bug? I have read the known issues [[Here]|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/apex402knownissues-189793.html] but it does not appear.
Related Data:
Application Express version 4.0.2.00.07
Firefox 3.6.15
SO: Windows XP
The error is not reproduced with IE7. I have not tested any other browser.

Molina

If you tried opening up two pages in the same application each of which modifies the same page items, you would notice the same issue.
This is because, in a session there is only one set of values for page items(or application items) and every parallel call to the same page would update the same bind variables.
Now the development environment or Apex Builder is also an apex application , and when try and open up the pages as you mentioned, they both access the same Application Builder page and sets/resets any existing values for those variables(and maybe cookies too if they are being used) , hence the 'mixing up'.
If that didn't convince you, check the URL of both the pages when you load them, they should show the same page number ( f?p=APP_ID:PAGE_NUMBER syntax). Imagine if the same approach was done with one of your application pages, say an edit form opened from a report with multiple records in multiple tabs like what happened with this case: {message:id=9346663}
So this really isn't a bug in a way, because that is how session states in apex is/was maintained. Ofcourse if they used another kind of development platform for building pages, it may have been avoided, but thats an altogether different point in itself.
