Number of Elements at this level --------------( 1 for Dimension Total)' ?

Hi All,
If we check the Dimension Hierarchy Property ..there is option like ‘Number of Elements at this level --------------( 1 for Dimension Total)’
‘Number of Elements at this level --------------( 1 for Dimension Total)’ ? in Dimension Hierarchy
What is the use of it ?

Reg Number of elements at this level and Variables

Hi Experts,
What is the purpose of Number of elements at this level in the dimensional hierarchy of BMM layer on what basis default it will show 1 if we change this value into 2 what happens .
Difference between non system session variables and dynamic repository variables in which scenarios we will use these bth variables.

Hi Rafi,
Sorry for delay response.
Nonsystem Session Variables :-
The procedure for defining nonsystem session variables is the same as for system session variables.
A common use for nonsystem session variables is setting user filters. For example, we could define a nonsystem variable called SalesRegion that would be initialized to the name of the user’s sales region.
We could then set a security filter for all members of a group that would allow them to view only data pertinent to their region.
2. difference between dynamic repository variables and non-system session variables?
Dynamic Repository Variables:-
We initialize dynamic repository variables in the same way as static variables, but the values are refreshed by data returned from queries. When defining a dynamic repository variable, we will create an initialization block or use a pre-existing one that contains a SQL query. We will also set up a schedule that the Oracle BI Server will follow to execute the query and periodically refresh the value of the variable.
Note: When the value of a dynamic repository variable changes, all cache entries associated with a business model that reference the value of that variable will be purged automatically. Each query can refresh several variables—one variable for each column in the query. We schedule these queries to be executed by the Oracle BI Server.
Hope this help's
Thanks,

What is the purpose of Number of elements at this level and ..?

Hi,
What is the purpose of Number of elements at this level an how it influences the obi server to optimize the query?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Number of elements at this level, specify the number of elements that exist at this logical level.By mentioning this levels we are telling to the BI Server that it is a parent and the next level is a child.
Mark if helps.

Number of elements at logical level / odbc driver

Hi everyone,
I'm new in BI area and I cannot understand one basic thing.
I study documentation about BI server, exactly chapter about "creating dimensions" and I'm confused about setting "number of elements at logical level"
It looks for me that "number of elements at logical level" is static.
What will be when someone update data in the table and number of elements will be different than number of elements in our logical level?
example:
current column with distinct values:
channel_desc:
direct sales
tele sales
catalog
internet
partners
in this case I set number of elements at logical level 5.
after a while some update data in the table and our column looks (see below)
column after update with distinct values:
channel_desc:
direct sales
tele sales
catalog
internet
partners
others (added value)
Does it mean that I have to change it to current numbers of elements?
I'm sure that this is misunderstanding in my case, but I don't know where?
Second problem which I have:
BI with oracle database is on linux
client software on windows
I can import data from database like sybase or flat files to the physical model, I can view data, but when I create whole model (physical, bussines model and mapping, presentation) and I try access data from "Answers" I have this error:
"Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
regards
Bart

Number of elements is just an indication used by the BI Server (e.g. when generating LOV's in Answers). It won't cause any problems when it doesn't hold the exact number of elements available in the dataset.

WMS cycle count using 'this level' cost for valuation

Hello all,
I have a client on 12.1.3
They have reported that in their system, WMS Cycle count is using 'this level' cost for valuation instead of their stated desired valuation of 'total cost'
Could anyone guide me on perhaps profile values necessary to make this happen for them or pertinent questions to ask as to why this is happening?
My Very Best Regards,
Mallory

Hello,
You can do cycle counting with Rf transaction LM59 for the serialised material.
1.My experience says when you have HUM activated then to track material HU & serialisation profile works together.
2.You can do cycle counting of serailised & non serialsed material through Rf gun but clearance of this material will be issue. You may have to create one more transaction to clear the difference of serialised materials like LI20
Hope this input helps.

Prashant

Number of elements to be defined at logical level

In the Business Model and Mapping layer, dimension >Logical Level >> number of elements at this logical level
I have come across two different version of how to deal with this
First version - From the OBE and the admin server guide it says "The number does
not have to be exact, but ratios of numbers from one logical level to another should be accurate".
Second Version - a question from asked about what defines the number at the level as best practices
To set the number of elements at each level of a dimension, which number would you use?
A. the number of columns in a logical table
B. the number of levels in a dimension
C. the number of dimensions in a business model
D. The number of tables in a physical model
E. the number of distinct rows in physical column
Question is
what is the rule to set the number of elements at this level?
If its been set depending upon the rows in the table . what will happen if the rows gets added every hour ??
Edited by: ZSAM on Jun 8, 2011 7:06 AM
Edited by: ZSAM on Jun 8, 2011 8:22 AM

The ratio between the levels is what is important I believe. BI Server will use this information to determine which aggregate source to use. You should use the number of distinct rows as the value.
You can also right click the hieracny and use "Estimate Levels" to auto-populate the numbers for you.

In OBIEE RPD hierarchy,while defining levels Number of elements count?

Whats the importance of NUMBER OF ELEMENTS AT THIS LEVEL (count) while defining the hierarchy level.Does I need to enter the MAXIMUM distinct values of any element in that dimension table.If Yes how will that value gets updated when data in DB changes.Or can I mention depending on level count too like Level 1(1),Level2(2) ...

use search functionality of the forum

Number of elements - Dimensional Hierarchy

Hi,
In a *'Dimensional Hierarchy'*, while creating a new *'Parent level'*, a 'Logical Level' dialogue box prompts for entering *'Number of elements at this Level'*+. What is its significance ?
What is achieved by+ *'Number of elements at this Level'* +?+
Thanks in Advance & Regards,
Deeba

Hi deeba,
Its not mandatory to specify the number of elements in hierarchy....if you wont mention also by default it takes the value of 1.....Above vino gave you the link for explanation.
Hope it helps you...Award points and close the thread.

Number of Elements - What is it?

Hi,
I am trying to ramp up on OBIEE, and I am going through the OBE tutorials.
In creating levels in the dimensional hierarchies, the tutorial has you specify a field called "Number of elements at this level". It doesn't really explain what it's used for, or give guidelines on what to enter for this field. Could someone please explain it a little further? I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Kevin

From what I know , it is number of distinct values at that level in physical table.
E.g. at region level it is
select count distinct region from physical table.
Not sure how this information is exactly used by BI server. The number does not have to exact but the ratio has to be approximate.

Iterating through every other (or specified number) of element in an array using a for loop

I am trying to go through an array but instead of autoindexing I want to skip every other element or maybe a number of elements that will be specified for the user.
Basic functionality that I want to acheive is the following in C code.
int temp_var = 10;
int i=0;
for(i=0; i<=1000; i=i+temp_var)
I am very new to LabVIEW and I did not know how to use internal variables.
Can this be acheived using shift registers?
I am attaching the code I currently have for this. Let me know what you think.
Thanks guys.
Solved!

See here.
I wouldn't say there aren't many people for it. The idea you linked to was one of a half dozen of basically duplicate ideas, including another one of your own.
These two ideas have a fairly large number of kudoes showing people want the idea.

Trying to install Elements 13 and it asks for a serial number. The instructions say the number should start with 1057 but there is no code on the disks, box or envelopes the disks came in that start with 1057. I cannot activate the software without this code and it is a Christmas gift to my wife. HELP!

I had this problem. There are actually two boxes. The outside one with the photos and stuff and glued into it is another box containing the disks. That box has the serial number. Adobe was NO help with this as if no one else ever could not find it. I had to rip open the outer box.

How to configure Level Number of Elements in Dimensional Hierarchies?

http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/bi_server/design/dimension/level_number_dimension
Above mentioned link mentions the value to be placed in Level Number of Elements in Dim Hierarchies.But being New to Obiee I am unable to understand.I would appreciate if So one explains in detail.Example would be better.
Thanks in advance for the cooperation.

Query optimization is based on the order of the tables in the FROM clause of the generated SQL. Tables with many rows appear before tables with fewer rows. This order can be important especially for RDBMS that lack an optimizer feature.
It's no more the case with the actual databases.
Example for Oracle : Query optimizer
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/query_optimizer/start
By modifying the number of element, you can change their order in the FROM clause but I never test it.

Have had Elements 9 on a laptop for several years, would like to install on new laptop. Have no account info other than my Adobe ID. How do I do this?

You can find the download locations at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
You will need your serial number to activate it on your new computer.

After some serious hunting I finally found a link for live chat (that hunting also included switching to Internet Explorer where I had been using Chrome; I don't know if that's what made the difference). I gave the person at chat my redemption code; soon they came back and told me they had validated the code.
I went to the code redemption page and put in the code, and AGAIN it came back invalid! A second visit to chat yielded a similar promise, but with instructions to go to my Adobe ID page and check for the serial number there, under Products and Plans. I went there, checked Products and Plans, and found no serial number.
I was borderline homicidal at this point.
Still on the ID page, out of desperation I clicked on the Other Products link, and there, FINALLY, I found the serial number. It worked when I ran the install program, and now PS 11 Elements is up and running on my computer.
I would compare getting a serial number to PS 11 Elements to trying to find the Ark of the Covenant, except that finding the Ark is a cinch by comparison. I'm sure the difficulties I encountered were not of your making, but were the result of some horrible brain farts of those above you. Thanks for your help.

Bought Premier Elements 13 yesterday. EVERY time I try to open a set of clips with Editor, I am told I have to sign into my Adobe first. I do this and wait for several minutes for the password dialogue box to open, enter my password. then wait and wait until my pw is recognized. Accept agreement. Agreement screen disappears and I'm back where I started. Try to open video clips with editor again and get the same demand to log in. Please advise asap. thx

Please do not duplicate a thread. The threads are answered as soon as possible. We are not Adobe. Just user to user.
I have answered your most recent of the duplicates
Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work
It is uncertain just how far we can go to help you since you do not appear to have Premiere Elements any
longer.Seems you demanded a refund from Adobe Chat, got it, and now are left with a non purchased program which I
am not sure can be used.
Duplicates tend to confuse the person asking the question as well as those attempting to reply. As I suggested in the
above mentioned thread, try to sort out your situation with Adobe via its Adobe Chat.
