Multiple facts with shared/non shared dimensions

Hello All,
I have a scenario where we are using multiple facts in OBIEE. Fact1(Inventory Onhand) is joined to all shared dimensions, and Fact2( Forecasting Values) is joined to few shared dimesnions so the joins are like:
Fact1 with Dim1, Dim2, Dim3, Dim4, Dim5, Dim6..
Fact2 with Dim1,Dim3, Dim5
I have given the physical joins in the physical layer, later in the logical layer I pulled the fact2 in to to the fact1(multiple LTS) and then set the aggregattion levels for the non conformed dimensions. This was working fine for me but the customer was not happy with this. He doesnt want to have different levels of data in to a single fact.
What are the allternate possible solutions to implement this in the busines layer?
Any ideas/inputs are highly appreciated.

Hi,
I have done the same as explained above. But here the issue is we are getting duplicate data.
For Ex: if i have one common dimmension attribute and two non confirmed dimension attributes with a measure. For non confirmed dimension have different value and for all these values the common dimension attribute is same. Then the common attribute will repeat for all non confirmed dimensions.so, here automatically the Corresponding measures also repeating.
Common Attr non-Confirm Attr1 non-Cnfirm Attr2 measure
123 abc xyz 1000
123 bac yzx 1000
123 pqr mno 1000
If you observe the above exapmple the confirm dime attr is same for both non confirm dime attrs, so the measure values also repeating here. If i see the data base i have measure data only for ABC record. For Remaining two records it is 0, but here the value 1000 is showing for remaining two records as well.
Please let me know if any one face this issue earlier.
Regards,
Aari

Multiple facts with some non-conforming dimensions

Hi, in our datamart, I have several fact tables. The JOBS fact table includes dimensions of time, employee, org, and job.
Other fact tables include those 4 base conformed dimensions, plus dimensions specific to the fact. For example, BENEFITS includes a "plan type" dimension, etc.
When reporting, I want counts from the basic JOBS fact table to always show up - even if other data in the report contains the "non-conformed" dimensions. For example, I'd like a report that lists time periods, employee counts (from JOBS fact), and enrolled employee counts (from BENEFITS fact), something like this:
Month Benefit Plan Emps Enrolled Emps
Jan 2009 Health Insurance 10,000 8,000
Jan 2009 401k Plan 10,000 4,000
Jan 2009 AD&D 10,000 1,000
When I try to produce this report, because "benefit plan" is not a dimension tied to the JOBS data, the EMPS column comes out blank. Yes, I can add a total row at the bottm to show it...but I really want the 10,000 to show up on each row (also because I want to calculate a % of people enrolled out of the total population).
What's the best way to accomplish this? Also given that I have 4 or 5 other fact tables, and each of them have their own "personal" dimensions in addition to the conformed ones.
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Hi
The problem you describe is similar to mine (I wrote several threads ago).
That is, if there is a non-conformed dimension in a report then the column from the fact table which is not connected with those non-conformed dimensions containes zeros or blanks.
Was this problem solved? I didn't quite catch one of previuos messages... If you can please repeat it more detailed.
What I tried to do is to set Total level in the Content tab (LTS properties). In this example - I could set Total level to JOBS in the plan type dimension. But it didn't help.
So if you know what to do then please describe it here...

Multiple facts with non-conforming dimensions

Hi, I have a question re: using multiple facts in a report, where one of the facts has a non-conforming dimension.
I have two metrics: "PAYROLL" and "UNRECONCILED DIFFS". The payroll metric is at the employee level, but the "UNRECONCILED DIFFS" is not. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Set up a single logical fact table in the business layer
2. Created 2 LTSs. One has "employee" level, one has "all employees" (i.e. the grand total level)
3. Created metrics for PAYROLL and UNRECONCILED DIFFS, each pointed to the proper LTS
4. Set the "employee" hierarchy level for "UNRECONCILED DIFFS" to the "all employees" level
This is working...kind of. If I have three employees with a payroll amount of $1000, and there is a $500 unreconciled diff, the report shows up like:
Employee Payroll UnrecDiff
Emp1 $1000 $500
Emp2 $1000 $500
Emp3 $1000 $500
Total $3000 $500
Here's what I'm wondering...instead of having the unreconciled difference repeated for each employee...is there any way it can just be $0 or (even better) NULL, but then still show up as $500 in the total line?
Thanks!

OBIEE Multiple Facts With Level Based Measures

Gurus,
We have a requirement which we think complex to achieve at OBIEE level. Please help if anyone knows a solid solution for this problem.
Orders, Shipments and Revenue are the fact tables and we have common dimensions like customer, product, time and others. For each fact table there is a corresponding dimension to store the non metric columns like Order Number and Shipment Number.
Now the requirement from the customer is
1. Need to see the Order Information completely even though he is looking at Shipment or Revenue data. Ideally, it is not mandatory for each order to have Shipment or Revenue. This is applicable for Shipment too, if the customer is looking at revenue and shipment data he needs see all the shipments including those that doesn't have any revenue.
2. Non Confirming dimensions should not throw errors. This could be possible by using Level based measures.
Please help with your thoughts here. Thanks in advance.
Siva

Hi,
Create left outer join from Order Number to Revenue Fact and from Shipment Number to Revenue Fact.
Now when you create a report you will get all Orders and Shipments.
It will impact the performance of the reports though.
or you can try creating a union report as
Customer Order Number Shipment Number Revenue Quantity >>>>>>>> This will give you orders which have Revenue
Union
Customer Order Number Shipment Number 0 >>>>>>>> This will give all orders and shipments
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Query across two facts with filter on unconformed dimension

Hi
This question is actually regurgitated from another post as I wrongly tagged it onto the end of an already answered question.
Anyway, I am trying to query across 2 fact tables which have a dimension in common (conformed) and also some dimensions that are not directly joined to BOTH fact tables (seemedly referred to as 'unconformed' in OBIEE).
So in it's simplest form
Fact1, measure1 linked to dim1 & dim2
Fact2, measure2 linked to dim2 only
I have followed the recommended method advertised here and elsewhere of adding the second fact as a LTS of the first in the BMM layer and setting logical levels on measure2 to Total for all dimensions that fact2 is not joined to (in this case dim1).
When a basic query is issued in Answers that filters on the unconformed dimension (dim1), a spurious result set is returned that includes all records for the second fact.
This is quite a standard warehousing reporting query whereby 2 sets of data are queried independently and then joined on their common attributes but in this scenario the BI server seems to always generate a FULL OUTER JOIN and return an unrestriced data set.
Has anyone else come across this strange behaviour?
thanks
Tony

adding the second fact as a LTS of the first in the BMM layer
Could you try without this step? Just have separate facts and separate LTSs and set
Fact1 LTS to lowest for Dim1
Fact1 LTS to lowest for Dim2
Fact2 LTS to Total for Dim1
Fact2 LTS to lowest for Dim2
?

ITunes on multiple computers with shared external library?

Hey guys. I thought I might pick everyone's brain here. I just purchased a MacBook Air with just 128GB SSD but that should be fine as far as local storage. I have an iTunes library that is over 350GB and it grows everyday so even the 256GB storage wouldn't have been enough for me. I have multiple computers and also have an iPod, iPad and iPhone. They all sync via my MacBook through an external hard drive right now and this is the only computer I currently sync to.
Since I have a Mac Mini as well as a iMac, I want to see if there is a way that I can wirelessly share the external hard drive with the itunes library in it and all the computers would be hooked up to it going off that one source and itunes library. I buy music from not only itunes so I import music all the time to itunes and also want to make sure that it will update to the computers that are connected to the library automatically as I wouldn't want any inconsistency's when I need to sync one of my devices to one of my computers.
I hope there is a way to do this, and if there is can you please help me out and explain or point me in the right direction at least to where I can find out about this?
It would be much appreciated. Thank you!

both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

Multiple hierarchies with shared members

Hello,
is it just a common practice to have unique parents for hierarchies built on the same Essbase dimension, or it is a system level restriction?
Only in Hyperion Planning, or this is true also on Essbase level?
Is it right that only the leaf nodes can be shared members?
(automatic shared members are created on higher levels for parents with 1 child, so why other shared members not allowed?)
Thank you for your answer!

I'm not sure I follow your question completely, but for shared member rollups the lowest level of the shared rollup can be a level zero or higher member or another dimension. The requirement is that a shared member can not have descendants in the shared rollup, it would be the lowest level.
For example If I have the following primary rollup
Geography
East
NJ
NY
PA
West
Ca
OR
WA
I could have an alternamte rollup like
Bob's Total
NY (Shared)
West (Shared)
You see thar NY is a level zero member and West is a level 1 member but under the alternate rollup the are both level zero members

Problem with automatic downloads on multiple computers with shared storage

I have a main Windows computer I use to rip my CD's, download Digital Copies from DVD's, buy iTunes movies, and sync my iPhone/iPad. My iTunes library points to a shared location on a MediaSmart Windows Home Server as "\\mediasmart\itunes\music". I have turned on automatic downloads on this computer so it downloads music/apps/books if I buy something on one of my other devices.
I also have iTunes installed on the above mentioned MediaSmart Windows Home Server to serve content to my Apple TV's throughout the house and I point the iTunes library to the same location as the above Windows computer - which is local to the MediaSmart server - as "d:\itunes\music". I do this because the main Windows computer is also used as the main system for the house - quicken, AnyDVD, etc. and I don't want to impact performance on that computer if I decide to watch a movie on one of my Apple TV's. Anyway, to avoid having to manually copy music and books to the MediaSmart server, I enabled Automatic Downloads. In short, it works as advertised. Now, if I buy a song on the main Windows computer it gets automatically downloaded to the MediaSmart server and added to the iTunes library in the Purchased playlist - which is exactly where I want it to go. However, I just noticed last night that I now have multiple copies of those songs that are "Automatically Downloaded".
As an example, on the main Windows Computer I recently bought the song Gasoline. It was placed in a folder named "\\mediasmart\itunes\music\kicking harold" and the song was named "01 gasoline.mp4". Then....within a few minutes the MediaSmart iTunes automatically downloaded the song Gasoline and placed it in "d:\itunes\music" BUT named the song "01 gasoline 1.mp4". I figured iTunes would be smart enough to actually check for the physical song before re-downloading it and creating another copy of it.
Is there anyway to fix this or some setting I am missing? I hope the above makes sense.
Thanks for any assistance.

Yes it makes sense, and no I don't think you're missing some obvious setting. I think iTunes needs to gain some optimisation in this area. For instance if I make a purchase on my iPad I see iTunes downloading an independent copy instead of letting the download complete on the iPad and then copying it over to the PC via Wi-Fi. Hopefully these issues will get tidied up as iTunes in the Cloud meets the real world, though it probably wouldn't hurt to add your feedback.

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Install Arch on multiple machines with shared cache?

Hi!
I would like to install ArchLinux on about 8 machines (all using the same arch). I thought that the best way to do this would be a central shared pacman cache on my server, so that I don't have to download all package twice and thrice.
The only problem I have are during the installation. Am I right, that during the installation Arch expects the packages to be mounted to /src/core/pkg instead of /var/cache/pacman/pkg. The other thing is that I don't know whats up with the /var/lib/pacman/{sync, local} folders. Where are they expected during the install process?
Are there easier mehtods to have a ArchLinux install with local packages?
Thanks in advance

Personally I use a squid cache proxy to keep a copy of the packages that will be used across the various computers.
The interesting sections of my /etc/squid/squid.conf file are;
maximum_object_size 500 MB
refresh_pattern abs.tar.gz$ 0 20% 4320 refresh-ims
refresh_pattern db.tar.gz$ 0 20% 4320 refresh-ims
refresh_pattern files.tar.gz$ 0 20% 4320 refresh-ims
refresh_pattern pkg.tar.gz$ 10080 90% 43200 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-no-store
The patterns will
* Cache all pacman packages for at least a week.
* Check the server if the database has been modified since it was last accessed.

Two facts with joins to all dimensions

I have two dimension tables say D1, and D2 and they are joined to two facts F1 and F2. Now I need a report from one column of d1 and other column of d2 how obiee server will perform query by only one fact or two facts if only one fact which fact it will go through.

OBI will select one fact....I think it's based on the order of the facts in the business model.
But, you can set an implicit fact columns in the presentation layer...this gives you the possibility to add implicitly the fact table that must be used when only dimension objects are selected.
Hope this answers your question.

Filters on non-conforming dimensions when fetching data from multiple facts

Hi,
I would like to confirm my understanding about how OBI fetches data from multiple facts. I have set up the BMM layer. Through Answers I am getting data from multiple facts as expected. However, is it necessary to base filters only on the conforming dimensions? If I do so, I am getting the correct data. But if I filter data on non-conforming dimensions, then I am getting more data which I am not expecting.
Suppose, Fact1, Fact2 and Fact3 share a CommonDim dimension. If I have a filter on CommonDim, then the filter is used on the three fact tables. However, if I filter data based on Fact1's DimTwo which is not shared by Fact2 and Fact3 and I have measurements from all the fact tables, then from the SQL generated, it seems that OBI is fecting all data from Fact2 and Fact3 and data from Fact1 where DimTwo = 'SomeValue'. Then it seems to be merging the data from the three result sets.
Is this expected, esp. a scenario where a filter is based on a non-conforming dimension (DimTwo in the example)? Have I missed anything? What do I need to do, if I want to return rows from Fact1 based on DimTwo's filter and then if there is data on Fact2 and Fact3 based on the value in CommonDim corresponding to DimTwo's filter?
Please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Manoj.

Multiple Facts at the same report

Hello gurus,
How can I use multiple facts at the same report using OBIEE 10g?
I followed the instructions of this website but it's not working...
http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/multiple-fact-reporting-on-non-conforming-dimensions/
Physical Model:
ASSET (DIMENSION) ------------ ASSET (FACT) ----------------- PERSON (DIMENSION) ----------------- CAMPAIGN (FACT) ---------------- CAMPAIGN (DIMENSION)
Business Model:
ASSET (DIM) ---------------- FACT ------------------- CAMPAIGN (DIM)
                           (ASSET - CAMPAIGN)
                                        |
                                        |
                                        |
                                        |
                              PERSON (DIM)
Asset and Campaign: Non conformed Dimensions;
Person: Conformed Dimension;
Note that I want to use at my report some asset and campaign informations to answer questions like:
Wich assets were created after the campaign launch? or List of asset by person and campaigns.
Is it possible to do? I'm trying to change all kinds of column levels (Total/Detail) and it keeps sending an error like:
"Internal error: No matching table for expr Fact_W_CAMP_HIST_F_Teste.SOURCE_WID, File server/Query/Optimizer/SmartScheduler/PhysicalRequestGenerator/Src/SQOSPSimplifyJoin.cpp, line 118."
Thank you in advance.
Ramon Cortez

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Now I'm getting this error: "None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Fact.SOURCE_WID". ---> Fact.CAMPAIGN_WID
I'm actually not sure about the behaviour of the content tab. As I understood, I must use Total for non-conformed dimensions and detail for conformed, right?
In this case I have:
ASSET (DIMENSION) ------------ ASSET (FACT) ----------------- PERSON (DIMENSION) ----------------- CAMPAIGN (FACT) ---------------- CAMPAIGN (DIMENSION)
So, at Asset (FACT) content tab I have to set detail for Asset (DIM) and Person (DIM) and total for Campaign (DIM).
At Campaign (FACT) content tab I have to set detail for Campaign (DIM) and Person (DIM) and total for Asset (DIM).
But at the columns, if I set detail for Campaign(DIM) as total, all the other columns will show only Campaign at content tab. Why is it happening?
My requeriment measure is like:
SUM(CASE WHEN Asset.Date1 BETWEEN Campaign.DateA and Campaign.DateB AND Asset.Product = Campaign.Product and Asset.Status = 'Active' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
How can I do this using person as conformed dimension?
Thanks,
Ramon Cortez

Conformed / nonconfirmed dimensions and multiple facts

Hi all,
There have been plenty of posts on this issue, I've read a lot about it, but still can't get this working. We're looking at a basic marketing process where we can track the links that have been clicked in marketing emails that have been sent out. What I have is two fact tables, with one conformed dimension between them, and one of the facts having a non-conformed dimension:
Fact 1 linked to Dim - Links
Fact 2 linked to Dim - Links; Dim - Email Name;
In Fact 1 i have defined a measure that counts the number of links clicked
In Fact 2 i have defined a measure that counts the number of links
So, I can take fields from Dim - Email Name, and Fact 2 and this will correctly show me the number of links in that email. I can add in the Link Name from Dim - Links to give me the detail of the links in the email. However, when I then add the # of links clicked from Fact 2, this is shown as zero. Removing the Email Name will cause the # of clicks to be displayed correctly for each link.
I've read this post here:
report based on 2 different Fact tables
which seems to contain my exact problem, but the solution listed hasn't worked for me. I've created hierarchies, set the LTS of Fact 1 to be Detail for Dim - Links, and the LTS of Fact 2 to be Detail for Dim - Links and Dim - Email Name. This doesn't work. I've then set the LTS of Fact 1 to be Total for Dim - Email Name. this doesn't work. I've then set the LTS for the dimension tables to be detail in each case, and this doesn't work either. My business question is pretty simple - for each email, list the links and how many times that link was clicked.
I've started from scratch, I'm only looking at these 4 logical tables, I've got to the stage where I'm restarting BI after every change but I still can't see the problem. Can anyone give me any guidance please?
thanks
Matt

Hi Wildmight,
apologies for not posting for a few days, I've been out of the country. I've just tried all these, with no joy. At the moment then, I have one single Fact table, with two logical sources, LINKS_FACT and CLICKS_FACT. I've set the LTS for LINKS_FACT to be Email Detail and Link Detail, and the LTS for CLICKS_FACT to be Link Detail and Email Total. The single Fact table now has two measure columns, one a count distinct on linkid and one a count on the clicksid.
When I go into answers, I select an email title of May Newsletter, choose the link name, and then select the # of links and number of clicks. The log for this query is:
-------------------- SQL Request:

OBIEE report from multiple facts at different levels

Currently we need to develop a report with columns from 3 different facts surrounded with conformed and non conformed dimensions at different levels.
After setting the hierarchial levels and putting the facts into single logical table with different sources OBIEE is generating 2 different queries and does a full outer join.
I would like to know how we can do a left outer join instead of full outer join between the 2 queries based on a common column?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vinod,
The scenario provided in the link above doesnt match to my issue.
We need to develop a report from multiple fact tables at different levels with conformed & non conformed dimension columns.
I have 7 dimensions D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6 and D7 & two fact F1 and F2 tables.
F1 is tied to dimensions D1,D2,D3,D4,d5
F2 is tied to dimensions D3,D4,D5, D6 and D7.
In my report I have columns from D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, F1 and F2.
So OBIEE generates 2 queries with columns from D1,D2,D3,D4,d5 & F1 measure and another query with D3,D4,D5, D6, D7 and F2 measure.
and then does a cross fact join out of box between 2 queries.
But I need to do a left outer join between the 2 queries on a common column instead of cross fact join. I would like to know how we can achive this.
Thanks.
