Multiple Alias tables in FR

I have a report where I am using MemberAlias in my title. I have 2 alias tables and want the report to work with the second Alias table. I have set the report in the grid with alias table2 in the properties.
Unfortunately MemberAlias keeps picking up Alias table 1. Any thoughts on where I set this correctly to take the correct alias table?
Thanks in advance

That's what I am doing (based on your syntax).
I am referring to the Grid1. But really its the POV that the memberalias is refering to. so Memberalias (Grid1, CostCenter) is what I have in my title - Where CostCenter is a POV for Grid1 . It just refers to the wrong alias table. It gives me alias table1 even though the grid1 is refering to alias table2

Alias table update errors

Hi,
I am trying to update an alias table using rules file. I am trying to update members of multiple dimensions in one single rules file. the column structure is as below:
(Dim1, Lev 0) (Alias) (Dim2, Lev 0) (Alias) (Dim3, Lev 0) (Alias)
But the above rules file is failing at column 3. It says "\\column 3 validation failure". Can you please help?
Thanks!

Hi,
Have you read this post? Alias Update
I know it was you that raised it but did it not answer the question?
LEVEL0,Dim1 ALIAS0,Dim1 LEVEL0,Dim2 ALIAS0,Dim2 LEVEL0,Dim3 ALIAS0,Dim3
should validate if each of the dimensions is set up as a level build type
You can quickly test it by creating a file with say the following.
dim1val,dim1alias,dim2val,dim2alias,dim3val,dim3alias
Create a new load rule.
Set it to dimension build.
Open the text file
Set the properties for each column as
LEVEL0,Dim1 ALIAS0,Dim1 LEVEL0,Dim2 ALIAS0,Dim2 LEVEL0,Dim3 ALIAS0,Dim3
set the dimension build properties for dim1,dim2,dim3 as level build type.
validate
Cheers

Alias Tables and Duplicate tables in Physical Layer

Hi all,
I have a small doubt in physical layer. We have two options when we right click table, 'Alias' and 'Duplicate'. To create another instance of a table, can we use any one of these. Does it make any difference
Thanks & Regards,
Jagi

Hi,
If u duplicate any table the join conditions will carry with respective tables , same name appending (TableName#1)
In case of alias u need to specify joins conditions explicitly
We can use same table with different constrains to the same table
Aliases used, if you need to replicate a physical table and not create multiple tables with the same data
If you delete any column in the Original table automatically deleted in alias
table and Its not reflected in Duplicate table.
Steps:
Right Click the original table. Choose New Object and choose Alias.
The mistake most people make is try to bring in the same table again and rename it or choose Duplicate by right clicking the original table.
Thanks,

Alias table

Hi All,
I have a situation where I have four tables having one to many database relationship.
There is no defined fact or dimension table.
X(1)-->A(N)
A(1)-->B(N)
B(1)-->C(N)
Can we create an alias for A and B to act as confirmed dimensions so we can pull all the
records from all the tables without any errors? I apologize for any confusion.
Thanks,
Virat

Hi,
No need for aliases, your describing one branch of a snowflake, simply flatten the snowflake (in your Physical model) to a star-schema in your BMM model (add the tables together in one or multiple Logical table sources).
Phy Layer :
X -> A -> B -> C
BMM Layer :
Logical Fact (X?) -> Logical Dim (A,B,C)

Duplicate table and Alias Table

Hi,
What is the Differnce between duplicate table and Alias table?which Situation we use these table ?
Plz tell me .
Thanks

Hi,
If u duplicate the table the join conditions will carry with respective tables , same name appending (Table_Name#1)
If you duplicate a table in metadata, then that new table (with its new name) must map to a table in the physical database that has new name. If it doesn't exist, the SQL issued will generate an error.
An alias is a reference to a table that already exists, not a separate database object.
In case of Alias you need to specify joins conditions explicitly, we can use same table with different constrains to the same dim/fact table
Alias used, if you need to replicate a physical table and not create multiple tables with the same data or schema

To fetch Data from multiple database tables!

How to fetch Data from fields of multiple database tables!
Give me one example!

use join....
c the SAPHELP docs...
FROM tabref1 [INNER] JOIN tabref2 ON cond
Effect
The data is to be selected from transparent database tables and/or views determined by tabref1 and tabref2. tabref1 and tabref2 each have the same form as in variant 1 or are themselves Join expressions. The keyword INNER does not have to be specified. The database tables or views determined by tabref1 and tabref2 must be recognized by the ABAP Dictionary.
In a relational data structure, it is quite normal for data that belongs together to be split up across several tables to help the process of standardization (see relational databases). To regroup this information into a database query, you can link tables using the join command. This formulates conditions for the columns in the tables involved. The inner join contains all combinations of lines from the database table determined by tabref1 with lines from the table determined by tabref2, whose values together meet the logical condition (join condition) specified using ON>cond.
Inner join between table 1 and table 2, where column D in both tables in the join condition is set the same:
Table 1 Table 2
A
B
C
D

Example
Output a list of all flights from Frankfurt to New York between September 10th and 20th, 2001 that are not sold out:
DATA: DATE LIKE SFLIGHT-FLDATE,

 AND FSEATSOCC < FSEATSMAX.
WRITE: / DATE, CARRID, CONNID.
ENDSELECT.
If there are columns with the same name in both tables, you must distinguish between them by prefixing the field descriptor with the table name or a table alias.

How to use non-default Alias Table in Analyzer report

Hi,I defined many alias tables in Essbase. I would like to use a different alias table other than the "default" in Analyzer 6.5 report. In the on-line help, it said I can modify in "database connection properties" when first defining a new report to use a specific alias table. It tells me to do the following: Click the "New" toolbar button. Select a Display Type or Layout, and click OK. Right-click a database connection name in the "Select Database Connections" dialog box, and select Modify from the right-click menu.So I did this, but as I did the last-right click, there is no "Modify" option available. Only has "Add New..", "Database Connection Properties.." However, if I defined a new personal database connection using the login user, I can select to use other alias table. But this will go to personal database connection properties.Is it possible to specifically tell Analyzer to use other alias the global level in database connection? What I use to do is to have certain reports to use the default alias, and another to use another alias table. These reports should be able to share across all users.Sam

In deed it is fix in the GA.Another way to set the alias table is to do it in the Admin client. If you add a connexion to a user there is a new 6.5 button "set alias" that allow you to set the default alias table for this specific user. But, it does not exit on a user group level.

Multiple Main Table Question

I am new to MDM 7.1 & Multiple Main Tables. I have a very basic questionu2019
My Requirement is that I have to keep Two Main Tables,
1. Manufacturer Parts Master Table and the key is Manufacturer Name + Manufacturer Part No (Two fields)
2. I have another Main Table called Manufacturer Parts Table and key will be Manufacturer Name + Manufacturer Part No (Two fields)
My requirement is that when I load data in to the 2nd Main table (Manufacturer parts Table) I have to validate against the Master table (Manufacturer Parts Master Table) with the key combination of Manufacturer Name + Manufacturer Part No and that this key combination must exists in the 1st table.( Manufacturer Parts Master Table.). If not then it is an error.
I know we can use the 1st table as lookup main table for the 2nd table but do we need to combine the key fields Manufacturer Name + Manufacturer Part No for both the tables to validate against the Manufacturer Parts Master table with the same key combination?.
Anyone explains how I can do this?
Also, Qualified tables still exits in MDM 7.1? OR we have to use Tuples?

Hi,
1. Manufacturer Parts Master Table and the key is Manufacturer Name + Manufacturer Part No (Two fields)
In Console: Say your 1st main table has Manufacturer Name + Manufacturer Part. No two fields which are Display fields. For this 1st Main table you should have your Edit Key mapping = Yes.
In Import Manager: Your Remote Key in your MDM import Manager should be mapped with combination of these two fields using Partition Concept with some delimiter say ,
e.g. for 1 record in your 1st main table when you right click on your Edit key mapping using MDM data Manager it has values as:
RemoteSystem Key
ABC MANF1,123
So here Key is combination of Manufacturer Name + Manufacturer Part No (MANF1,123) which has delimiter ,
2. I have another Main Table called Manufacturer Parts Table.
In Console: For this 2nd Main table first of all, you will create a Field of type Lookup Main which is lookup to 1st main table say X. You will have some other field too in 2nd main table which is Display field and using it you can import data.
In Import Manager: For 2nd Main table, your source fields again should be combination of Manufacturer Name + Manufacturer Part No using partition field concept with delimiter say , and map this Partition field here with field X which is lookup to main table. when you will do this you will see all your source values for this partition field gets mapped automatically for the records which are present in 1st main table and if there is any value which is not mapped it means that that manufacturer name + manufacturer Part no does not exist in 1st main table.
You must set this property in Import Map, if you are importing data through Import server by right clicking on target mapped field X Set MDIS Unmapped Value handling = Fail which will take care if record exists in 1st main table then only record imported in 2nd main table else give error. As if record exists in 1st main table then while importing data through 2nd main table his value automatically gets mapped.
Also, Qualified tables still exits in MDM 7.1? OR we have to use Tuples?
For most of standard Master's e.g. Material SAP Note 1355137, Customer SAP Note 1412742: Tuple has been replaced using Qualified table. But if you want, you can model data as per your requirement. You can still use Qualified table if business demands.

Using multiple EIM tables in single process section

Hi ,
Often we come across a situation where in some required columns are mapped in one EIM table and some mapped in the other EIM table mapped to a given base table.
Is there a way wherein we can utilize multiple EIM table having mapping of a base table under the same process section with only base table parameter poiting to the target table.?
Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi,
May be I have misinterpreted what has been mentioned in the EIM admin guide.In the page 41 chapter EIM Configuration File the following has been mentioned for the TABLE paramter.Therefore i was wondering if we can use more than one table in a given process section in IFB file.
[TABLE           Required. Specifies the name of an EIM table used in this process.
                     *Multiple TABLE parameters may be used to define a process using*
                     *more than one table*.
                     Example:
                     TYPE = EXPORT
                     BATCH = 101
                     TABLE = EIM_ACCOUNT
                     EXPORT MATCHES = S_ORG_EXT, (NAME > A)
NOTE: For performance reasons, you should limit the number of
tables to export or merge in a single process section to five tables or
fewer.]

Ashutosh

Collect data from a dynamic XML file into multiple internal tables

I need to convert the XML file into multiple internal tables. I tried many links and posts in SDN but still was facing difficulty in achieving this. Can some one tell me where I am going wrong.
My XML file is of the following type.It is very complex and the dynamice.
The following tags occur more than once in the XML file. The "I" and "L" tags and its child tags can occur ones or more than once for each XML file and it is not constant. i.e in one file they can occur 1 time and in another they can occur 100 times.
"I" and "L" are child tags of <C>

 <J>10</J>
 <K>EN</K>

<L>
 <J>20</J>
 <N>BB</N>
</L>
Tags <C> and <F> occur only ones for each XML file. <C> is the child tag of "A" and "F" is the child tag of <C>.
I need to collect <D>, <E> in one internal table ITAB.
I need to collect <G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
I need to collect <J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
I need to collect <J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
Below is the complete XML file.
?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<A>
 
 <C>
 <D>RED</D>
 <E>999</E>
 <F>

 <N>BB</N>
 </L>
 <L>
 <J>30</J>
 <N>CC</N>

With the help of SDN I am able to gather the values of <D> <E> in one internal table.
Now if I need to gather
<G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
<J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
<J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
I am unable to do. I am following XSLT transformation method. If some one has some suggestions. Please help.

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,

SAP Query Alias Table in Info-set not working

Hi Guys,
I'm having a bit of trouble with a query I'm writing in SQ01.
I am trying to create a standard margin report between two different costing variants that we use.
n order to do so I have had to employ the use of alias tables.
I have named the alias tables KEKO_2 and KEPH_2 accordingly and joined them in the info set with the same joins as the original tables (Left Outer to MARC on MATNR and WERKS)
However, when I have come to test the query in SQ01 I get a runtime error which states the following:
The following syntax error was found in the program
AQA0MASTER_DATA=STANDARDMARGIN :
"Field "KEPH_2-KST001" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified
tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement . . . . . . . . . ."
But it is in a specified table! My alias table.
How can I make this query work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Join multiple fact tables and dimensions and use all tables in report issue

Hi,
I have a report requirements and need to use multiple fact tables and unconformed dimensions as described below
Fact table: F1,F2,F3
Dimensions tables: D1.....D9
F1:(joined to) D1,D2,D3,D4
F2::(joined to)D1,D2,D5,D6
F3::(joined to)D1,D2,D7,D8
D7::(joined to)D9,D8 (dimension D7 joined to two other dimensions D9 and D8
I'm trying to use columns from almost all the fact and dimension tables but getting "Unable to navigate requested expression. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings."
Repository is consistent and no errors and warnings.
How can I configure the repository to develop reports using all fact tables and dimensions?
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.
Thanks

Best approach to join multiple statistics tables into one

I have read different approaches to join multiple statistics tables into one, they all have a column "productobjectid".
I want to get all data for each product and put it to excel and output a jpg statistic with cfchart.
How would you do this, the sql part?
Thanks.

A couple suggestions:
1) when joining tables, its best to list both table/fields that you are joining in the FROM clause:
FROM shopproductbehaviour_views INNER JOIN shopproductbehaviour_sails ON shopproductbehaviour_views.productobjectid = shopproductbehaviour_sails.productobjectid
2) You add tables to a SQL join by placing another join statement after the SQL above:
SELECT *
FROM TableA INNER JOIN TableB on TableA.myField = TableB.myField
INNER JOIN TableC on TableA.anotherField = TableC.anotherField
3) If you have columns in the tables that are named the same, you can use column aliases to change the way they appear in your record set:
SELECT TableA.datetimecreated 'tablea_create_date', TableB.datetimecreated 'tableb_create_date'
4) Certainly not a requirement, but you might want to look into using <cfqueryparam> in your where clause:
WHERE shopproductbehaviour_sails.productobjectid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#all.productobjectid#">
You might want to consider checking out one of the many tutorials on SQL available online. Many of the questions you posed in your post are covered in pretty much every basic SQL tutorial. Alternately, a good SQL book is worth its weight in gold for a beginning web applications developer.
