Multiple Logical Table Sources vs Single Logical Table Source

OBIEE 11g. I am totally confused. Can someone help me with the following for me.
I have seen logical table sources being used in 2 ways. I have a 2 sources tables: CUSTOMER & ADDRESS. In physical layer these 2 tables are linked by CUSTOMER _ID in a 1:M relationship. i.e. A customer can have many addresses.
Scenario # 1: In BMM the two tables form a logical table called CUSTOMER with 2 different logical table sources which are CUSTOMER & ADDRESS.
Scenario # 2: In BMM the two tables form a logical table called CUSTOMER with 1 logical table source called CUSTOMER only.
What is the difference between the above 2 scenarios and which one is better to use when creating the logical table source.
Regards.

Scenario # 1: In BMM the two tables form a logical table called CUSTOMER with 2 different logical table sources which are CUSTOMER & ADDRESS.
-->In this case; based on the columns select source is defined in the physical query
possible case would be CUSTOMER , ADDRESS, and CUSTOMER & ADDRESS
-->Used in DE-normalized scenarios
--> BI uses intelligence based on content tab settings
Scenario # 2: In BMM the two tables form a logical table called CUSTOMER with 1 logical table source called CUSTOMER only.
-->In this case; CUSTOMER properties->General tab used both CUSTOMER & ADDRESS, in your physical query both tables present irrespective of column selection
-->Used in normalized scenarios
-->Forcing BI to follow our way, since we wont set content tab settings
Hope this helps

MVC: Create a view which populates two (or more) joined tables in a single view table

I am beginner in MVC and I would like to create a view which populates two (or more) joined tables in a single view table as described below.
I have two tables:
1 - Bloggers: - bloggerID (int);
                    - bloggerName (string)
2 - Blogs: - blogID (int);
bloggerID (int);
                - blogTitle (string);
                - blogImage (string)
A blogger can have one or more blogs while one blog must be related to only one blogger.
I would like to have a view table on my webpage as the following:
Blogger Name
Blog Title
Blog Image
Noris Gang
Virus

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
From your description, it is not very clear that what you mean about the View, if it means the View concept in database as SQL Server, your required view should be as below:
Create view
as
Select Bloggers.bloggerName, Bloggers.blogTitle, Bloggers.blogImage
From Bloggers join Blogs on Bloggers.bloggerID = Blogs. bloggerID
If it means the UI view in MVC concept, I suggest you could ask it on the MVC forum:

Using multiple physical tables in a single logical dimension table

I have two physical tables that are related on a 1 to 1 basis based on a natural key. One of these tables is already part of my RPD file (actually, it is the W_EMPLOYEE_D from the Oracle BI Applications). The second table contains additional employee attributes from a custom table added to the data warehouse. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to display ANY data from this newly added custom table! I'm running on OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
Here's what I've tried to do. Lets call the original table E1 and the new one E2. E1 is part of the repository already, and has functioned perfectly for years.
- In my physical model, I have imported E2 and defined the join between E1 and E2.
- In my logical table for E1, I've mapped E2 to E1 (E2 appears as a source), set up an INNER JOIN in the joins section for E1 and added the attributes from E2 in the folder
- In the SOURCES for this logical table, I've set the logical level of the content for E2 appropriately (detail level, same as E1)
- In my presentation folder for E1, I've copied in the attributes from E2 that were included in my logical table
Consistency check runs smoothly, no warnings or errors. Note: E2 contains hundreds of rows, all of which have matching records in E1.
Now, when I create an analysis that includes only an attribute sourced from E2, I get a single row returned, with a NULL value. If I create an analysis that includes one attrribute from E1 and one from E2, I get all the valid E1 records with data showing, but with NULL for the E2 attributes. Remember, I have an inner join, which means that the query is "seeing" E2 data, it is just choosing not to show it to me! Additionally, I can grab the query from the NQQuery.log file - when I run this SQL in SQL*Developer, I get PERFECT results - both E1 and E2 attributes show up in the SQL - the query engine is generating valid SQL. The log file does not indicate there are any errors either; it does show the correct number of rows being added to cache. If I create a report that includes attributes from E1, E2 and associated fact metrics I get similar results. The reports seem to run fine, but all my E2 attributes are NULL in Answers. I've verified basics, like data types, etc. and when I "Query Related Objects" in the repository, everything looks consistent across all 3 layers and all objects. E2 is located in the same (Oracle) database and schema as E1, and there are no security constraints in effect.
I've experimented with a lot of different things without success, but I expected that the above configuration should have worked. Note that I cannot set up E2 as a new separate dimension, as it does not contain the key value used to join to the facts, nor do the facts contain the natural key that is in both E1 and E2.
Sorry for the long post - just trying to head off some of the questions you might have.
Any ideas welcomed! Many thanks!
Eric

Hi Eric,
I would like you to re-check on the content level settings here as they are the primary causes of this kind of behavior. You could notice that the same information might have written down in the logical plan of the query too.
Also, as per your description
"In the SOURCES for this logical table, I've set the logical level of the content for E2 appropriately (detail level, same as E1)"
I would like to check on this point again, as if you had mapped E2 to E1 in the same logical source with an inner join, you would get to set the content level at E1 levels themselves but not E2 (Now, that E2 would become a part of the E1 hierarchy too). This might be the reason, the BI Server is choosing to elimiate(null) the values from E2 too (even you could see them in the sql client)
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Combine 2 internal tables into a single internal table

Hi
I need to replace the following join statement by splitting it into 2 select statements and then combine them into a single internal table
SELECT vbak~waerk
vbapvbeln vbapposnr vbapnetwr vbapbrgew
vbap~erdat                         "IM152805
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE l_t_orders
FROM vbak INNER JOIN vbap ON vbakvbeln = vbapvbeln
FOR ALL entries IN t_mchb
WHERE vbap~vbeln = t_mchb-vbeln
AND vbap~posnr = t_mchb-posnr.
Need to replace the above with separate select statements and then combine the result into a single internal table...
could anyone please help me...
thanks in advance

Hi,
Check the code below,
select vbeln waerk
from vbak into table it_vbak for all entries in t_mchb where vbeln = t_mchb-vbeln.
select posnr
     netwr
     brgew
     erdat "IM152805
INTO TABLE it_vbap
for all entries in t_mchb
where vbeln = t_mchb-vbeln
and posnr = t_mchb-posnr.
loop at it_vbap into wa_vbap.
read table it_vbak into wa_vbak where vbeln = wa_vbap-vbeln.
if sy-subrc = 0.
l_t_orders-waerk = wa_vbak-waerk.
l_t_orders-vbeln = wa_vbap-vbeln.
l_t_orders-posnr = wa_vbap-posnr
l_t_orders-netwr   = wa_vbap-netwr.

Multiple dimensions from single logical table

Hi,
I cannot seem to create multiple dimensions based one one single logical table. For example, I have a Time table from which I'd like to create a calendar time dimension and a fiscal time dimension. However, as soon as one dimension is created, I cannot create another dimension from the same logical table.
Is it possible?
Thanks

Jlin,
If I understood your requirement correctly you need to create multiple Hierarchies out of a single Logical Dimension table, this is possibe the base rule for creating a hierarchy is you should have a common starting point( Grand Total Level) and a common ending point( Detail Level), first create this and create sublevels and share the Detail Level as a child. This will allow you to create multiple hiearchies out of a single dimension. One level will have drill down on the Calendar dimension and one one the Fiscal and both will have the common detail key like day key.Hope this helps.

Subject Area not showing for Single Logical Table Repository Schema

Hi
I'm trying to create a very simple OBIEE repository schema for a sales proof of concept. The schema consits of a single physical table, single BMM (logical) table and a single presentation table.
I have created all the layers OK. However, when I check for global consistancy i get an error message 'Logical table SALES_POC does not join to any other logical table'. Now i understand this error, but in this case this is how the design is intended. However, if ignore this error i'm not seeing the new subject area after bouncing BI server & BI presentation services.
Anyone know a way round this, or do i need to have at least 2 logical tables?
Thanks
James

Yes I think RPD is in the correct folder & NQSConfig.INI is set correctly.
RPD is called ethreeCustomv1.RPD & saved in /ora/biee/10.1.3.4/OracleBI/server/Repository
NQSConfig.INI has the following definition:
[ REPOSITORY ]
BIEE = ethreeCustomv1.rpd, DEFAULT;
[ CACHE ]
ENABLE = NO;

Load into single target table frm multiple source table in single interfac

Hi
I have four source table and a single target table.
I need to move data from either of these tables into a target table , and we have to decide the source table based on user input.
Example :
Lets say there are four tables A,B,C,D and one target table T.
If user input says A
then the data from table A will move to table T
And again , if the user says table C then data from table C will move to table T.
And we have to create only one interface for achieving this in oracle Data Integrator ( ODI ).
You can take assumptions in source and target table.

Hi ,
In ODI 11g , there are new feature callled dataset. It allows to use UNION , MINUS etc.
Google it , you will get many tutorials on Dataset. check the link
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/06/odi-11g-new-mapping-and-interface-features-part-1/
In your case , you can provide filter conditions on your tables i.e.
Say My target table is EMPLOYEE , My source tables are EMPLOYEE and DEPARTMENT
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE(CUSTOMER_ID , CUSTOMER_NAME) SELECT CUSTOMER_ID , CUSTOMER_NAME from employee where 'EMPLOYEE' = :EMP
UNION DEPARTMENT_ID , DEPARTMENT_NAME from departments where 'DEPARTMENT' = :EMP ;

Multiple similar sources to single destination?

I'm on Oracle 10.2.0.3 and am looking to replicate table changes being captured in multiple sources into a single destination. Let's say LCRs from source databases A and B are propagated into destination database C. In the destination, the LCRs from A and B will go into separate queues and be processed by different apply processes.
This is all good. However, is there an example or "best practice" of doing this if sources A and B are separate occurances of the same application? For example, the schema FU exists with table BAR in source A and in source B, and the BAR tables contain different data.
Obviously, you can't create two FU schemas in the destination. Also, I can't replicate both source BAR tables into a single BAR table in the destination, as it would violate primary/unique keys required by Streams (not to mention double the size of the destination BAR.)
Thanks for any ideas, and I hope I've explained this clearly enough to get a response.

I'm sorry I posted a cross-posted a question regarding Streams Replication to the "Streams" and "Replication" forums.
I thought the question was on-topic for both forums, and users who saw both postings could just ignore one of them.
I didn't see any info about cross-posting in the [forums etiquette|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=885] , [forums FAQ|http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Oracle+Discussion+Forums+FAQ] , or [terms of use|http://www.oracle.com/html/terms.html] .

How to use single buffered table with FOR ALL ENTRIES KEYWORD

Hai,
I'm Using TJ02T Database table, It is single buffered table but at the same time I want to use FOR ALL ENTRIES KEYWORD , Please Help me.
Regards,
S.Janani

Hi,
FOR ALL ENTRIES will not depend on the buffering nature of the table. The single buffered table will only only buffer one record into memory. You can still use the statement to query the values, but it may have performance problems if the data volume is high since the records are not completely buffered into memory, the time will spent in getting data from DB.

Filter on the same logical table source on two logical tables is not working properly

Hi,
In the RPD, assume that I have a physical table named Employee_fact, created an Alias called D0 Employee Fact
In the BMM I've two logical tables called Employee_fact_Type1 and Employee_fact_Type2
Each of these logical tables has the same Logical table source - D0 Employee
But in each logical table source, I've a filter in where clause
such as, for Employee_fact_Type1 employee_type = 'XXX'
for Employee_fact_Type2 employee_type='YYY'
These two facts are present in the same BMM and each of them are connected to two dimensions
such as
Dept_type1 <- Employee_fact_type_1 -> Tenure_type1
Dept_type2 <- Employee_fact_type_2 -> Tenure_type2
In analysis, When I query the columns from Dept_type1 and Tenure_type1, the database query generated shows the condition employee_type='YYY' instead of employee_type='XXX' .
But, adding the columns from Dept_Type1, Employee_fact_type_1, Tenure_type1 it shows proper filter.
I checked the relationships, presentation layer for the sources of presentation tables and everything looks good.
Can anybody tell me what goes wrong here?

did you set the content level as well?

Creating Source systems in two same logical BW systems from single R/3 sys

Hi All,
We are facing an issue while creating Source systems in two same logical BW systems, from single R/3 systems. Our Basis team is telling that if we want to connect the single R/3 system into 2 BW systems with same logical name, we will need to delete the source systems from one BW systems and create in another system. Also they told by doing so it will delete all the transfer rules and PSA table existing in the current BW system, which has the source system connectivity with the R3 system now.
Is this anyway to create the same source systems in two same logical BW systems, from single R/3 systems without deleting the transfer rules?. Also please help us to get anu OSS note or document explaining this in details.
Regards.
Muruganand.K

Hi Muruganand,
I dont think it is possible as connecting one R/3 Source System to two BW Systems.
If you could get the possible solution, please do reply to the post.

You could use SQL*Loader to load the data into a staging table with a varray column, then use a SQL insert statement to distribute it to the destination table, as demonstrated below.
SCOTT@orcl> host type test.dat
