Obiee report across non additive fact tables

I have two fact tables (f1,f2) joined two conformed dimensions d1,d2
d1,d2 have simple hierarchy total and detail levels
f1 --->d1
f1---->d2
f2---->d1
f2---->d2
facts tabel layout
f1 -- c1&c2 are(additive measures)c3&c4 are(non additive measures)
f2----col1&col2 are (additive measures)col3&col4(non additive measures)
I have tried to construct a report with c1,c2,col1,col2 and it works fine
when i try to do c1,c2,c3,c4,col1,col4 second fact table cols are null.
Can someone please guide how to resolve this issue.

there is a rule saying When you are combining multiple fact tables(stars) in a single report, the measures should be aggregated. This is like best practice.
So in your scenario, you have to create 2 logical dimensions from the fact tables.
Create logical dimensions F1D with source physical F1 and add only non aggregated measure(c3,c4), Create a hierarchy with total and detail level.
Create logical dimensions F2D with source physical F2 and add only non aggregated measure(col3,col4), Create a hierarchy with total and detail level.
then for fact table f1 , set level F1d - Detail, F2d - total.
then for fact table f2 , set level F1d - total, F2d - detail.
Update your presentation layer. Make sure these non aggregated columns coming from F1d,F2d instead of logical fact tables.
check for consistency.,Now save,reload/restart server. Check your reports, thats it.

Send a OBIEE report to non OBIEE user (Client) Mail in OBIEE11g

Hi Frenz,
i`m fresher to OBIEE, i need the step for "Send a OBIEE report to non OBIEE user (Client) Mail in OBIEE11g". searched in on-line got only OBIEE 10g Documents that one also followed but no result.Please help Me....the Step to config a Mail for external user.
Thnaks,

Have the SMTP server configured by your admin and create agent privilege given to your role. Then Schedule an Agents to yourself/Testuser with the report to be sent to external user as its Content. Set up the Delivery Profile of the recipient. In the set up for email device - delivery profile specify the external email address. This might be useful

Sending OBIEE reports to non OBIEE users who are external to SMTP server

Hi All,
Hi Nazza,
Would you please help me how you diid send reports to non OBIEE users (external mails)?
I have configured the mail server and able to send reports to internal mails.
I have followed the following steps as mensioned in all blogs:
1. I created a d table called SA_SYSTEM_USER with default columns as mensioned.
2. Imported into Physical Layer
3. Created a view for Dummy table(Dual) with 'DUMMY' column.
4. Joined these tow tables DUMMY fact and SA_SYSTEM_USER as Dimension on DUMMY join Email.
5. Renamed columnsfor Presentaion table as mensioned in Bolgs.
6. Restarted the servers.
7. I noticed the system mail and system delivery profile created with only one email id(where are the other email ids from my SA_SYSTEM_USER table?)
8. But as written in blogs it never sends emails to external mails e.g. [email protected](this is existng mail in SA_SYSTEM_USER)
I am in need of urgent solution please some one help me out....
Thank you so much.....

Hi Deepak,
I followed every single step mensioned in the link you have given.
When save the iBot there was no response.
Would yu please clarify these doubts:
1. Do I need to have any specific settings on our SMTP mail server to send emails to external email-ids ????
2. I can see only one email account appears in My Account-->Active Profile. where I loaded 2 email accounts in my User table. Does it matters while I am choosing 'Specific Devices' on 'Destinations' Tab while deselecting 'Ineractive Dashboard' and 'Active Delivery Profile'?
3. By default the report is going to that mail account (internal only) if I select Destinations--> Active Delivery Profile.
4. As mmy requirement is to send emails to the users external to organization( external to our local SMTP server distribution list), I entered my Gmail account to test.
When save the iBot there was no response.
5. Do I need to set filter on specifc user on a conditional request to send e-mai to that usel??
6. Is there any solution for this please? Thsi is a must requiremnet.
My Thought (I am not sure) : 1. I create those user IDs on SMTP server
2. send reports to this user list.
3. From these user ID mail inbox of SMTP server if possible: forward those reports to external email IDs.
Thank you for your time

How to make OBIEE reports available during the DB tables data refresh?

Experts,
We have our production ETL run for 2.5 days every month. OBIEE reports will not be available during the run. We have a requirement to make the reports available all 24 hrs 365 days. So, what we are trying is to copy all the fact/Dim tables to the new schema running in the same or different DB server and amend the connection pool to point this schema during the run. Here are my questions. Is this a workabale solution (or) is there better approach for meeting our requirement
Regards,
Sarvan

I would suggest this option:
Store the following connection pool values in a table and call them in your connection pool using Connection Pool Scripts
Data Source Name
User ID
Pwd
when ever you want to change db just you need to edit these values that would help your bi with no downtime.
You might have to tweak it little bit if needed.
More or less we have use sometime back to a client where they want to switch dbs dev to test to etc
Try it out.
BTW: 2.5 days load time for Full load or Incr?

Report based on two fact tables

Hi,
i've the same issue, of thread
report based on 2 different Fact tables I've read reply marked as "CORRECT" but I don't understand what to do precisely. Can you explain better?
How Can I create an alias?
What about "If the dimensions are directly linked then mention detailed level else mention the total level which has no direct join b/w fact and dimension... "???
I hope in your help. Thanks
Thanks
Giancarlo

HI Daan,
thanks for reply. Can you explain better point number 2?
I have created an alias for my table (because i use MOLAP approach, i haven't a table but a cube view generated by View Generator Plug-in). Now what i must do with my alias table? Furthermore can you explain better point 2? Finally how i must create complex joins of my new fact table ?
I am newbye of Administration Tool, so i would need of a visual explanation or of a step by step explanation. Can you give me it?
I need of your help, because I must finish a project for my customer
All regards

Reporting that traverses two fact tables

I have searched and am stumped on how to make the work in OBIEE. I can do it with straight SQL on the physical layer, but can't get OBIEE to accept it. I have a customer history fact table that contains several measures and connects to several dimensions. This creates one star. I have a campaign (ad campaign) dim that connects to an Account_Campaign Fact, as one Account may have many campaigns. The Account Dim connects also to the CustHistory fact. When I try and use information from the CustHistoryFact against information in the either the Campaign Dim, or the AccountCampaign fact, I get the following error:"{color:#800000}[nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression . . . Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000){color}"
In the administration tool, everything checks out as consistent, and I have verified that I can get the correct result using SQL on the physical side.
My diagram is roughly
Customer(and other)Dim -< CustHistoryFact >-AcctNbrDim -< AccountCampaignFact >- CampaignDim
Any ideas?

Hi...
From your scenario, there are 2 facts seems CustHistoryFact, AccountCampaignFact.
And dimensions are: Customer(and other)Dim, AcctNbrDim, and CampaignDim
Do one thing, one of good technique to avoid this error is : mention the levels (Hierarchies) in administration tool. i.e. rpd.
For the 2 fact tables, whatever the tables directly connecting to fact tables (or which are having direct joins) need to mention levels in detail level, and for the the dimensions which are not related directly, (or which are not having direct joins to facts) need to mention levels in total level.
I think you might have known about the level mentioning in rpd, go to the particular fact table source in BMP layer, double-click > Content tab, here you find the hierarchies you created, there you need to mention your levels.
For your scenario, For fact CustHistoryFact table source, mention detail level for Customer(and other)Dim and AcctNbrDim
............................................................................, mention total level for CampaignDim
In the same way, for fact AccountCampaignFact table source, mention detail level for CampaignDim and AcctNbrDim
...................................................................................., mention total level for Customer(and other)Dim

Modelling 2 Fact Tables with Non-Conforming Dimension in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have two fact tables (Fact 1 and Fact 2) and two dimension tables (Product and Rule). The Product dimension table is a conforming dimension and is used in both fact tables, but the Rule dimension is a non-conforming dimension which is used only one fact table. I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.0).
====
Fact 1
====
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
Notes for Fact 1:
- One Sales ID can have multiple Product IDs
- Sales Description and Sales Status are the same for one Sales ID (repeating Sales Description and Sales Status for the same Sales ID)
====
Fact 2
====
Sales ID | Product ID | Rule ID | Score
S001 | P001 | R001 | 2
S001 | P001 | R002 | 3
S001 | P002 | R003 | 1
S002 | P001 | R003 | 1
S002 | P003 | R002 | 2
S002 | P003 | R004 | 5
Notes for Fact 2:
- One combination of Sales ID and Product ID can have multiple Rule ID
I'm wondering how best to model these tables so that I can create this report (number of the dimension and fact tables created in the business model, level mapping, aggregation rule, etc)? Any suggestion/advice on how to achieve this?
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R001 | 2
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R002 | 3
S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R003 | 1
S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R003 | 1
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R002 | 2
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R004 | 5
Thank you very much!

Hi Dhar, thanks for the suggestions.
I tested what you suggested, but the result is not as per my expectation mentioned above. Here's what I did:
1. In physical layer:
- I joined Fact 1 table with Product dimension table only
- I joined Fact 2 table with Product and Rule dimension tables
2. In business model layer:
- I created 3 logical tables: Fact, Product, and Rule
- The Product table contains the Product ID and Product Name from the Product dimension table in the physical layer
- I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Product with only ProductTotal level (as the grand total level) and ProductDetail level that contains Product ID and Product Name
- The Rule table contains the Rule ID and Rule Name from the Rule dimension table in the physical layer
- I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Rule with only RuleTotal level (as the grand total level) and RuleDetail level that contains Rule ID and Rule Name
- The Fact table contains 2 logical tables sources: Fact 1 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleTotal) and Fact 2 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleDetail)
- The Fact table contains Sales ID logical column (mapped to both Fact 1 and Fact 2 logical table sources)
- The Fact table also contains Sales Description and Sales Status logical columns (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is the default to None
- The Fact table also contains Quantity logical column (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
- The Fact table also contains Score logical column (mapped to only Fact 2), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
OBIEE returns the expected result when I retrieve the report:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
However, OBIEE returns an error when I retrieve the reports:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID
or
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
The error is:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request FACT.SALES_STATUS. (HY000)
And the Score column is blank when I retrieved this report:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Score
Any suggestion anyone? Please help. Thanks a lot!

Report based on 2 different Fact tables

Hi all
Is it possible to make a report based on 2 Fact tables wich are not linked to exactly the same dimensions?
FactTable1 : linked to Time,Product,Geography
FactTable2: linked to only Time
The FactTable2 will contain only one measure which is a constant value per year and It will be used to be compared to the FactTable2's measure (It's a kind of reference).
So do FactTable2 need to be linked to Geography and product to be able to create this report??
Regards.

I tried to set the level for the metrics...now it doesn't make the CAST anymore, but i get a result set bigger than i need...
BI Server seems to make the union of 2 instead of the intersection...
For example, if i have 5 customers, but only 2 customers have a service request (order) associated, then the server returns the following report
Customer Code | Service Request Code | # asset(Fact 1) | # order (Fact2)
0000001_________NULL_______________ 5____________ 0
0000002_________NULL_______________ 4____________ 0
0000003_____ 700000930______________ 3___________ 1
0000004_____ 700000930______________ 3___________ 1
0000005_________NULL_______________ 3____________ 0
while my goal is to get just the list of customers having at least a service request (order)...
I tried to create a filter on the column "Serve Request Code", but it doen't have effect, cuz the server lunchs 2 different sql queries to create the report:
select D1.c3 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,

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,
Kashi

Fact table usage is not appropriate

Hi All,
I am new to OBIEE 11g, we have 4 fact tables(F1, F2, F3, F4) that shares common 5 Dimensions(D1, D2, D3, D4, D5) and they are joined as below
F1-D1, F1-D2, F1-D3, F1-D4, F1-D5
and similarly all other facts(F2, F3, F4) are joined as above
problem is when we run the report with prompts, let say we created two choice list prompts(P1, P2), P1 with D1.Col1 column and filtering prompt values based on D1.Col12 to populate choice list, find SQL below
SELECT "D1"."Col1" FROM "Sales SA" WHERE "D1"."Col2"='North Zone'
based on the above prompt P1 we are restricting the choice list values of prompt P2 by setting Limit values by as P1, when we select a value from prompt P1 and click on P2 prompt it is showing blank i.e. results is NULL.
What I have noticed is, it is joining F4 fact table to get the data, checked the logical and physical queries of P2 prompt
Logical Query :
SELECT "D2"."COL1" saw_0 FROM "Sales AS" WHERE "D1"."COL2" = 'North Zone' ORDER BY saw_0
Physical Query :
select distinct T560319.CO1 as c1
from
D1 T560319 / Dim_D1 */ ,*
D2 T560407 / Dim_D2 */ ,*
F4 T562764 / Fact_F4 */*
where ( T560319.COL1 = T562764.COL1 and T560407.COL3 = T562764.COL2 and T560407.COL2 = 'North Zone')
order by c1
actually it should join the F3 fact table to populate the values of P2 choice list, but is joining F4 fact table
not sure where the problem is, can somebody help in resolving this problem.
Thanks,
Sumanth

Try by setting implesit fact table. You need to choose any fact table column or measure
Subject area-> properties
I'm assuming you have one logical fact table with 4 Logical Table sources

Logical level for logical fact table sources

it is clear that for fact aggregates, we should use the Content tab of the Logical Table Source dialog to assign the correct logical level to each dimension.
question is : is it mandatory to assign even for non-aggregates fact tables the logical level for each dimension (which normally should be set to the most detailed level of each dimension) ? is it any known issue if "logical levels"in content tab are not set ?
the reason I'm asking this is a strange bug I have (I'm not going to discuss it here) and then only workaround seems to be NOT setting the logical levels (on content tab) for logical fact table sources.
thank you !

If levels are not set: By default levels are considered as lowest level
It should not matter if you set or not
Generally we set for facts explicitly when we are using Aggregate tables.
Your current issue might be a case by case; I would suggest to check implicit fact, any table mapped to the source to force a join etc
Mark if helps
Let me know how it helps

Problem: two fact tables and one conformed dimension

Hi everyone!
I need to solve this situation:
I have two fact tables, let's say F1 and F2, that are both linked to D1, my conformed dimension
I just need to select fields from D1 but I know that, when querying, OBIEE links it to a fact table anyway..how does it choose the fact table? That is, if I only want fields from D1, does the system queries also from F1 or F2? Is it a random choice?
Is there a way to "force" this choice, telling the system for example to choose only from F1?
Is there a workaround to solve this situation? Remember, I only need fields from D1.
Thanks!!

The solution of your problem is "Implict Fact Column"
Go to presentation layer and double click on your subject area. then you will see Implict fact column option. click on set. give corresponding fact column there( in your case give F1 fact column)

Issue with non calculated column in a fact table

Hi All,
With 3 facts(Fact1,Fact2,Fact3) and 2 Confirmed Dimensions my joins work fine in Criteria when I include All calculated columns from facts. If I try to include a non calculated column from Fact1(Which is a number Data type) Columns from Fact2 and Fact3 show Null values. I know it is not recommended to include dimension columns in fact , does OBIEE not support Number type non calculated columns as well? Is there any work around that I can bring in my non calculated column from Fact and still get results for other fact columns.Iam at 11.1.1.7 of OBIEE
Let me know if Iam not clear.
Your help is much Appreciated.
Thanks,
Vineela.

i would like to add 2 fields into my fact tables - LOAD ID (populated by a sequence during each load) and LOAD DATE.
as these fields are not related to any reporting dimensions, it is still possible to add them in OWB ? the fact wizard always ask for a foreign key to a dimension ...
Duncan,
If you want to add non dimensional attributes to a fact by using OWB, you can create additional measures to it and use them as attributes.

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.
