Moving  Business Model Contents

Hi.
I need to move a business model content into another one without affecting presentation catalog.
I moved the fact table, the dimension tables, and the dimensions (except one that is already present in the destination busienss model).
I've got an error ...
Which is the best way to do it ?
Thanks,
Andrea

You can write click your business model , and choose to duplicate , with or without corresponding Pres. Catalogue.
Otherwise you should be able to shift select, right click copy and paste. You may want to do this in smaller groups, ie fact tables, then logical dims, then hierarchies.
I've also see some joins not get copied before, and importantly, the content levels on LTS's and measures - I've seen those not get copied also.
Hope this helps.

  • New Business Model: What kind of consultant will arise?

    Some evangelists predict the 'death of the consultant' as is there. To what extent we will be affected by this revolution?
    "With the availabilty of the HANA technology, exisiting business processes become real-time, process steps become obsolete, new process will evolve that were not possible so far and companies will invent new business models based on new products and services - all that requireed consultants who support that transition!"
    Michael Lamade (OpenSAP Team)
    "Future does not have to be an increment of the past."
    Dr. Vishal Sikka, quoting Alan Kay in "An Introduction to SAP HANA"
    What do you think?

    I don't believe BW is really dying as a "modeling environment".
    What might probably happen is for BW to disappear as an additional persistence layer (the BW Box), i.e. the Embedded BW scenario tends to gain more and more visibility. With virtual infoproviders and transformations being pushed down to the HANA layer, you can get pretty much the same results than a persistent BW with very good performance and 1/10th of the data footprint (zero replication).
    This is already true today. Check for example the details on the analytical applications on top of SFIN (Smart Financials) 1.0. SFIN is the new FI module (aka HANA GL), rebuilt from scratch on top of HANA. i.e it is the first piece of ERP that was not adapted but born on top of an in-memory architecture. It was what HANA was developed for in the first place (i.e. the next-generation SAP ERP architecture). And its analytical applications, for example the new SAP Smart Cash Management app, are completely built on top of Virtual Infoproviders in Embedded BW (i.e. BW as a LDW, Logical Data Warehouse). This means the modeling skills of BW Consultants are not gonna disappear, they'll still be required since BW infoproviders on top of VIPs, Composite Providers, BEx Queries etc. are all gonna be there for a long, long time.
    More details on SFIN analytical apps:

    BI Content for SAP Smart Cash Management - SAP Library
    Adaptations for Smart Financials Planning Applications - Integrated Business Planning - SAP Library
    SAP delivers the following planning applications:

    Internal order planning on years and periods
    Market segment planning on years and periods
    Profit center planning on years and periods
    Functional area planning on years and periods
    P&L planning on years and periods
    These applications consist of “local” BI content. “Local” means that this BI content is shipped with the Smart Financials system and not with the “central” BI content. Local content runs on the ERP system directly using the “Embedded BW” and does not need a separate BW installation. The content for Smart Financials planning consists of HANA views, InfoProviders, MultiProviders, Aggregation Levels, Queries, Filters, Planning functions, Planning sequences, and Analysis Workbooks.
    Another point is that this means that the investments that SAP customers have made on top of BW are also going to be protected.
    They just need to adapt the Data Source layer to the new ODP (Operational Data Provisioning) concept and the rest will pretty much work as is.
    The same adaptions are being made by SAP in the standard BI Content.

    Hi.
    Either this is a mistake (which to be frank would be very bad if it's the case), or perhaps something else - even dodgy.
    May I assume that the email address this was sent to was in the "To" field ? Typically business email addresses end in btconnect.com
    Did the email contain any links such as "Login here" - indicating that the email could actually be a "phishing" email, with the link not going to any bt.com website.
    If you know how to get email headers and can post them (removing any personal details first), then that would be handy to determine if it was genuine or not.

  • How can I use Server level variables in a business model based report

    hi gems..
    I have declared one server level variable in the BI Analytics repository.
    Now I have made one business model based report.
    In one column I want to use that server level varible.
    I go to the formula tab of that column and then clicked on variable--> session --> put the name of the variable and click ok.
    But when i viewed the report, it is not showing the dates, rather it is showing the date format I chosed i.e DD-MMM-YYYY.
    please help..

    actually the previous problem got resolved...
    Now when I am trying to apply a filter on a particular column using that server variable, then it is showing that the varible has no value definition.
    I have clicked on the filter tab of that column-->add-->variables-->session variables-->then I put the name of the variable-->click OK.
    the following error is comming-

  • OBIEE 10g repository - Business model - logical table to physical table, column mapping is empty

    Hi, I am really new to OBIEE 10g.
    I already set up a SQL Server 2005 database in Physical and import a view vw_Dim_retail_branch.
    The view has 3 columns: branch_id, branch_code, branch_desc.
    Now I want to set up the Business model to map this physical table (view).
    I created a new Business model
    Added new logical table Dim_retail_branch
    In the sources, added the vw_Dim_retail_branch as source table.
    But in the Logical table source window,  column mapping tab, it's blank. I thought it should be able to identify all the columns from vw_Dim_retail_branch, but not. The show mapped columns is ticked.
    What should I do here? Manually type each column?

    HI,
    Just you can drag and drop the columns from physical layer to BMM layer.
    Select the 3 columns and drag and drop it to the created logical column in BMM layer.

  • How to copy one Analysis/Report in Business Model A to Business Model B?

    I have created a Business Model, Presentation layer in my RPD. I have many subsequent reports/analysis for that BM. Now, i have created a second BM/Presentation layer, in the same RPD, which uses a new set of identical tables (columns and table names, etc... all the same, but different data). So, without re-created each report in Analysis, i just want to copy some of those reports/analysis so they will use my 2nd BM instead of the first. Can this be done, and how?

    I'm retracting my comments for now -- this may be due to a column ALIAS which isn't present.
    I will re-post after I investigate that a bit.

    Kalyan,
    Not sure if you had any difficulties in this method. When i try it, i get the following error below. I've checked my names - the names "Periods" and "PERIOD_ID" are identical in both my subject areas. They refer back to aliased tables which ultimately point back to the same physical table. It's unclear to me why i am getting the unresolved column error, but i'm still trying to sort that out.

  • How to export an entire model content (tables and charts) to pdf

    Hello,
    I would like to export a complete model, which includes tables and charts, to pdf.
    I am already familiar with [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123] tutorial but it explains how to do it for a single table and doesn't deal with charts. What I would like to do is take like a screenshot of the entire iView/model content to pdf.

    Hi, rbish-
    Not for the entire stage.  The only thing you could do is to highlight everything and convert it to a symbol, then ensure that you move your triggers and labels to the new symbol.  Then you could export an individual symbol, which will also package all of the dependent symbols.
    Hope that helps,

  • How to add a stand alone table from Physical layer to Business Model

    Hi,
    I have tables from 2 different database sources in my Physical Layer.
    My Business model currently uses only tables from one database. from my second database in teh physical layer I need only one table and that will be a stand alone table, to my Presentation layer.
    1. Does it have to go through my Business layer or can it be directly added to the Presentation layer. What are the steps?
    2. Can I restrict the permissions on that stand alone table only to the administrator?
    Thank you.

    1)create a view with single column using the sql (select 1 from dual) in physical layer and join it with the table using complex join in physical layer (1=1).
    Move that to BMM, set the column as key in both physical and bmm layer.
    2) You can restrict the access for the table presentation layer
    Double click the presentation layer table -> Permission -> there you can restrict the access by user or group
    Thanks,
    Vino

  • Business Model and Mapping layer

    I am trying to create a logical dimension table by dragging the corresponding table from the physical layer. However, in the business model layer it shows up with a yellow icon indicating it is a logical fact table. Please help me how I create a logical dimension table in the business model layer. Not sure what I am doing wrong here.
    Thanks.

    Hello Saichand,
    No I did not. Do I have to create joins even when I am dragging this object from the physical layer? Let me read and learn how to create the joins. I will get back if I will have more questions.
    But, thanks for the quick response. As you can see this is the first time I am trying to modify the business model layer.
    Thanks.

  • Alternative approach to tree business model

    Hi JHS Team,
    When generating tree-forms with JHeadstart, we need two VO instances in the model for each node we want to present: one for rendering the Tree and another to show on the form, after the user selects a node.
    I understand that this is necessary for the case when the user clicks on one node which father node isn't the current row of its corresponding View Object, and so in such case the form couldn't find the current row and show the correct data.
    I'm still using the 10.1.2 version, but I checked the 10.1.3 documentation and this model requirement is still there.
    I tried another approach to this issue, which consists of using the very same VO instance for trees and forms: in every level, I render the node with every Iterator used in the previous levels and each corresponding row key for every previous levels. When the user selects a node, in that node link I have every Iterator I need to seek and every primary key I need to search for, so I can really reconstruct the path used by the user to seek that node.
    So, the benefit is that I don't need a root VO in the AM for every node I need to present as a form. In huge trees, this really simplifies the model construction and its maintanance.
    In 10.1.2, the runtime library (JhsDataAction) is already prepared for this, so I would like to know, if possible, the reasons why this is not used already by default (maybe performance?). If there is a reason to mantain the two VO instances in 10.1.3, could it be changed to allow us use the same instances as an alternative to simplify models, and generate the JSF pages working accordingly?
    Thanks a lot!
    Eduardo

    Hi Steven,
    Many thanks for the explanation. I agree with you that the current implementation is easier to understand, but I think it is only from the point of view of a programmer who understand some concepts of ADF business model. When you're a beginner, it's more difficult and less intuitive (or at least it was for me some time ago :-))
    I can say that in our project we have 4 very large trees in the same Application Module (since they need to be present on the same project as they're all related), and in each level we have at least 3 or 4 "details" VOs we present in the form, so the final model is really huge and really difficult to maintain. It was surprisingly easy to change the UIXs to the other approach, however, so I asked myself if this was tried already. Thanks for warning me of the unpredictable problems, I'll see if we have any.

  • Link Join Concept In Physical and Business Model Layer

    Hi,
    As we know that we could make join relationship in physical layer and also business model layer in obiee 10g. This is what makes me confuse.
    First of all, I tried to follow the tutorial in the oracle learning library center with schema SH as an example.
    In the beginning, it is stated that we must make join relationship first in physical layer for all imported tables which are consist of dimension tables and fact tables.
    Then, in the business model layer, the tutorial said that we must also make join relationship for the logical dimension table and logical fact table.
    So, what's the purpose actually we must make join relationship in business model layer ?
    All objects in business model layer are actually mapped from physical layer. So automatically the relationship in business model layer should be available automatically as they are mapped from physical layer.
    Maybe for you guys who know the concept well about this difference of relationship, could tell me so I could get the idea of what it is actually about.
    Thanks

    Physical layer does represent datamodel joins as is in almost all cases.
    Federated queries are a best example why joins are implemented in both (Physical & BMM layer) places.
    Business model mapping layer is modelled according to your business requirements.
    This is where your model MUST be a simple star schema, also where you model your hierarchies based on logical tables in bmm layer, & do appropriate aggregate navigation.
    Hope the view points presented will put you in right direction.
    mark answers promptly.

  • Probelm Addind new Table in Physical Layer, Create Dim in Business Model ..

    I have completed a task for a dash board, that is running sucessfully.
    Now I added a new table in "physical layer", (file->import->from database), table added successfully
    Now, I droped this table in "business model", but when I want to create its dimension, there is no any option (when I right click on this table)
    there are two cases
    case 1:
    I did not added modified fact table (with foreign key of new table) in "physical layer" and not in "business model and mapping"
    case 2:
    I added new table and modified "fact table (with foreign key of new table)" in "physical layer" and "business model and mapping"
    but in both cases there is no "create dimension" button to create dimension
    Please let me know the how to solve this problem, kindly define it in steps
    thanks

    Hi thr,
    Create Dimensions is only available if the selected logical table is a dimension table (defined by 1:N logical joins) and no dimension has been associated with this table.
    In you case, once you have imported the table successfully in physical layer, then join your table to fact table. Drag n drop in BMM under a new logical table and then join it to BMM Logical fact using complex join. Now, if you right click, you see the last option as 'Create Dimension'
    Hope you find it useful..

  • How can i call a business model function?

    Hello!
    I have a simple problem
    A gui view-backing - function call the setUsername by FacesContext und operative Buinding - it works well.
    Now i want to call the the function getUsername from a function inside the class EntityImplEx - both classes are in the business model in different class-pathes.
    How can I call the function getUsername from AppModule?
    package model.app;
    public class AppModuleImpl extends ApplicationModuleImpl implements AppModule {
        public String username                = "init";
        public void setUsername(String ss) {
            username=ss;
        public String getUsername() {
            return(username);
    package model.entity;
    public class EntityImplEx extends EntityImpl {
    ***************************

    You probably don't want to call a function in your UI from your AM.
    Doing this will break the MVC design pattern and will make your AM depends on a specific UI page.
    The way to communicate between the two is through service methods on the AM that are invoked from the UI layer.

  • Building data model using business modeler in demantra

    Hello.
    During this week I've been trying to build a data model using the business modeler but i keep getting an error during the process. My main problem is that I don't really know if i am making the mistake or it is a configuration problem with my demantra install. To begin with I'm trying to build the most simple of the models, 3 files or tables (tryed both) sales, items, and location, all joined by their respectives id's. So If anyone could be so kind to direct me to a tutorial with an example (besides the implementation guide) or a anything like that will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Data tables estructure:
    Sales table:
    Item_Id|Item_Name|Org_Id|Org_Name|Site_Id|Site_name|sales_date|Quantity
    Items table:
    Item_Id|Item_Name
    Location table:
    Org_Id|Org_Name|Site_Id|Site_name
    So far I've tryed building the model with one record on each table.
    this is the error that i'm getting:

    We currently don't support DataControls based on the ADF BC technology. We will consider such support if there is a strong interest in that use case.
    Independent of the IDE's you use, there are ways to expose services based on ADF BC that can then be consumed by the view layer. A Google search will point you to some of the approaches.
    HTH. Thanks for your interest in OEPE.

  • Business Model with 2 fact tables

    http://www.rittmanmead.com/2008/08/resolving-fan-traps-and-circular-joins-using-obiee/
    However I keep getting this: [nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail:
    the tables are:
    Incident (dimension)
    PK Sequence
    Incident Detail (fact table 1)
    PK Sequence
    FK Problem #
    Order (fact table 2)
    PK Sequence
    FK HDNum
    I cant figure out why this doesnt work like the rittman mead example? do they need to have the same column name?
    Thanks
    Tim

    It says the model doesnt contains a fact table.Fact table will have foreignkeys and Measure columns.That link shows the circular joins between tables.There fact table is not there.
