OBIEE Multiple Fact Tables

I have following situation.
DIM A
DIM B
FACT A
FACT B
FACT A will have a record of columns which matches to the key column from FACT B.
I created a physical joins between      DIM A -> FACT B
                                                            DIM B -> FACT B
                                                            FACT A -> FACT B
I used DIM A, DIM B and FACT B in my logical tables and dragged required columns from FACT A to Logical source of FACT B.
I am getting cartesian sum for the columns FACT A.  How can I restrict not to get the cartesian sum from FACT A.

Do it like this if FactA share Dims A and B:
DIM A --> FACT B
DIM B --> FACT B
DIM A --> FACT A
DIM B --> FACT A

  • How can build BMM with multiple fact tables

    HI Gurus,
    I have 4 fact tables and 18 Dimension table. Dimension tables have links with multiple fact tables. i have created physical joins in Physical layer. Now my questions is how can i create Business Model with multiple fact tables.
    i mean should i create 4 fact tables as logical tables and logical keys ? Then i have to move all dimension tables in to Business model?
    i am new to OBIEE. i gone through tutorial it is showing with one fact and multi dimension table. Should i do follow same style with multi fact tables.
    Please help me. Thanks in advance for your support.

    Thanks for your response.
    I had drag all tables from the phisical layer to Business Model. then i have deleted all links and recreated complex joins with default values.
    now i have some revenue amont columns in fact tables.
    my question is should i should i create aggregation ( like Sum..) for those columns? is it must ?
    please let me know thank you very much

  • 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

    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

  • Can a measure map to multiple fact tables

    Hi Experts,
    Can A Measure in an Universe map to multiple fact tables? For example, we have sales detail table by day and store and product, and have sales summary table by day and region and (product) department. We like to create a measure to map to both detail table and summary table. When I run query includes store and product,  the query will automatically use the sales detail table; and query can automatically choose the summary table when it only includes region and department. Our database table could be in  Teradata and Oracle. Can we achieve it and how? If a measure can't achieve this (dimension awareness), what the other option we can have and how to do it?
    Thank you,
    Richard

    Hi Sion,
    After I make the tables incompatible with the dimension objects on different levels, the measure can point to the right table if my query only include Store and Product or only include Region and Department. But in some scenario, the business could ask to include both Store and Region or Item and Department in same query. The current approach doesn't work on this further request. In our database, we have store table including Region with other higher level organization information, Product table including Department with other higher level product information, and we also have separated Region table and Department table. Could we make the objects more flexible u2013 query will be against aggregation sales table if dimension objects in query are only on higher level and will against detail sales table if some of dimension objects are on high level and some on low level? 
    Many thanks,
    Richard

  • BMM issue for multiple fact tables

    Hi All,
    I have three facts F1,F2, F2 and two confirmed dimension D1,D2 in my sample rpd.
    In BBM layer , I tried to do the modeling as follows instead of creating one logical fact table. There are many fact tables to come
    in future.
    F1<----D1--->F2<----D2--->F3
    When I deploy this sample rpd and run the report from F1 andF2, I get an error No fact Table exists at requested level of detail.
    I have not created any hierarchical dimension to set up the content in the fact table.
    I am very much thanksful for any advices.
    Thanks,
    Vishal

    Hi,
    Please refer the below link.
    http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2012/07/implementing-multiple-fact-tables-in.html
    My suggestion would be bring both the facts to the same logical table sources and have a single fact table in the BMM layer joined with multiple dimensions.
    Build a dimension hierarchy for the dimensions and then in the content logical layer mapping, map the dimensions to the fact tables with detailed level/Total
    Refer the below link-

    Hi All,
    I have a similar requirement where I have 4 multiple fact tables and we can't combine all those facts into one single fact table. In that case how can a query work with multiple common and uncommon dimensions and measures from multiple fact tables, if it doesn't work that way - can you please explain how can we expect a query to work with multiple fact tables.
    For eg: D1– Dim
    D2 – Dim
    D3 – Dim
    D4 – Dim
    F1 –Fact
    F2 – Fact
    F3 – Fact
    D1 -> F1
    D2 -> F1,F2
    D3 -> F2
    D4 -> F1, F3
    In this case if we want to query from D1,D2,D3, F1, F2 or D1,D2,D3,D4,F1,F2,F3. Kindly please explain how it can be modeled in BMM or what are the limitations. I have done with two fact tables in past and didn't had issues but this is kind of a vast implementation. Your help is appreciated.

  • Multiple fact tables in Essbase studio schema

    Hi all,
    Can we pull data from multiple fact tables in the single schema using essbase studio ? Also is it advisable ?
    Please advice.
    Thanks

    Hi Glenn,
    Thanks for the prompt reply.
    Do you mean direct joins between fact tables ? or we can have indirect joins through Dimension tables ?

  • Multiple Fact Tables or Circular Joins?

    I'm using OE schema to build an rpd, I'm importing foreign keys and I'm unable to decide which tables to be joined additional to the imported foreign key joins. If I'm not making any new joins I'm getting multiple fact tables and if I do make some joins I'm getting circular joins, some one please throw some light on this.

    It is not a good idea to bring the OE schema tables as it is. The ideal approach would be to create a view that would represent the Fact table. For e.g this view could comprise of OE headers and OE line information and the reference id to the other dimensions.<br>
    <br>
    Similarly create views from customer table, item tables etc and then create a star schema surrounding the fact view with all these dimension views.<br>

  • Merging Multiple fact tables and creating a BIA target

    Hi Folks
    We are  using Dataservices with BIA.
    We want to merge mutliple fact table and create a sinvglc cube on BIA.
    when we tried to do that we get a error message that we cannot merge multiple fact tables.
    any pointers ?
    Poonam

    You could have the cubes individually on the BIA and then have a multiprovider which you can use..?
    or create separate universes on the cubes and then merge the universes in BO and then you could hit the BIA for the same..?

  • Multiple Fact Tables and Dimension Tables

    I have been having some problems trying to model the data from Oracle E-Business Suite maintenance. I will try to give the best description of how the data is held in the tables. The structure is such that a work order can have multiple operations and an operation can have multiple resources as well. I believe the problem comes in the fact that an operation doesn't necessarily need to have a resource. I could not attach an image so I have written out an example below. I am not saying this is right or that it works, but just to give you an idea of what I am thinking. The full dimension would be Organization -> WorkOrder -> Operation -> Resource. Now, the fact tables all hold factual data for the three different levels, with the facts being at each corresponding level. This causes an obvious problem in combining the tables into one large fact table through the ETL process.
    Can anyone tell me if they think this can be done? Am I way off? I am sure that there is a solution as there always is but I have been killing myself trying to figure this one out. I currently have the entire solution in different Business Models. I would like however to be able to compare facts from multiple areas such as the Work Order level and the Resource level.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. I realize that the solution may also require additional work on the ETL side so I am open to any and all suggestions.
    Thank you in advance for anyones time. :)

    Hi,
    Currently the dimension table is taken as a simple logical table in rpd as it does not have have any levels or hierarchy.
    Its a flat dimension. Can you guide me how can I implement a flat dimension in OBIEE? Because this dimension is taken as simple logical table
    I am not able to set appropriate level for fac tables. This dimension does not appear in the list of dimensions.

  • Multiple fact tables

    Hi All,
    I am using OBIEE 11g. In my requirement, I have 1 Fact table and 3 Materialized Views of fact table. Now, these 3 MV have same columns as actual fact table 1 barring a couple of additional columns in each of them. Imported these 3 MVs and 1 Fact table in Admin tool. In Physical Layer I joinedmy dimensions to each of the Fact (table and MVs). In BMM I created one Fact table with 4 LTS coming from these fact table and MV. Now, all the dimensions are conformed. Still when bring in a column from each of these facts I am getting incorrect results. e.g. when I find sales from years, the data is correct. As soon as I add another fact column from a different MV/fact table the values from first sales column gets changed.
    I have check LTSs and Content levels and do not see any problems.
    Does anyone have some similar experience?
    Thanks,
    D

    Hi Dcole,
    It should not be a problem,you are going in right direction but i want you to check the joins established in the physical layer once again.
    But you mentioned a point above saying all the columns are same as actual fact with MV's.I suppose it is assuming as 1 column only.Can you change the column names..

  • Reg: Using Multiple fact tables in the RPD!

    Hello everyone,
    Can I get some help with the following scenario?
    We use OBIEE 11g.
    We have a report that uses only 1 fact table to retrieve the data and it takes hell lot of time to bring up the data in the report.
    My question here is is there a way to bring up the performance of the report if we split the data in 1 fact table to 2 fact tables and make the report use the 2 fact tables.
    Are there any other ways of tuning the report for better performance.
    Thanks for the help in advance!
    Ajay.

    Hi Ajay,
    Follow the following steps for the tuning;
    1. Try to tune the SQL query first generated by the report, and make necessary changes. (Put indexes on required column so that your query is scanning the index instead of entire table)
    2. You can try to create agg fact table and use the agg navigation for improving the performance. (Idea is to reduce the data set on which sql is fired)
    3. You can try to create partitions on the FACT table in the DB and so that required partitions are queried as per filters.
    4. In the Last if all the above doesn't tune your query you can try splitting the FACT table in to TWO or More as per your decision and then use fragmentation content in the BMM layer of the RPD so it will hit appropriate tables as per you report.
    Mark Correct/Helpful if it helps.
    Best of Luck,

  • How to fetch data from multiple fact tables from a normalized schema?

    Hello everybody,
    I am working on a normalized schema to build my repository. I have categorized the tables into dimensions and facts. I have 3 fact tables in my schema and they have a 1:m:1 relationship i.e. if I have table A, B, and C; A has 1:m relationship with B and C also has 1:m relationship with B. How can I use measures from these tables to create a star schema. If A = Sales, B = Transaction, C = Payment_Amount
    Sales(Sales ID, Amount, Tax pct, ...)
    Transaction(Transaction ID, Sales ID, Payment ID,Transaction Amt, ...)
    Payment_Amount(Payment ID, Check ID, Payment Made, ...)
    Please give me some direction to pursue.
    Thank you!
