Oddball source dimensions and FPS

I have a video source provided by a vendor that has the following attributes:
1884 pixels wide
924 pixels high
15 frames per second
pixel aspect ratio 1.0
This video is the product of a computer-based rendering of 3D point data (i.e.surveying), so is not true video in that sense.
My question is -- how do I set up a project to edit this without losing quality in a final product. The final product would be used in a presentation via laptop and projector at a technical conference.
Essentially I just need to extract some clips from the source video and combine them with other source video.
New user to Premiere Elements, so assume nothing.
Thanks,
JayInReno

Welcome to the forum.
As Steve says, PrPro can handle that "footage." Also, if you had to mix things, say full HD Video, with it, CS 5.5, with full MEP and CUDA hardware, can make handling the mixture pretty simple.
In PrPro, you would choose a Custom Sequence Preset, that matches your source footage.
Good luck,
Hunt

Hello wildmight.
I followed this tutorial:
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/04/30/obi-ee-time-dimensions-and-time-series-calculations/
Why should this layout not work?
Do you have a better idea?
When you say "it has to be one table" do you mean
that quartermonthday and year need to be ONE?
I just rememered that Oracle Hyperion Planning has to have
time and months seperated.
Hello mod100.
What do you mean hierachy over the time dimension?
Is it not obvious from the screen print that I have a hierachy
i.e. yeartotal - years and
quarters - months- days.
I read that by default the LEVELS are set to the lowerst. so thats fine. I set them by myself to the lowest as well but the ERROR is still the same.
no, I have not set the levels as in

Script to open, set dimensions and save

Hi All,
I'm a newbie in Illustrator. I'd like to find a way to open a pdf file, set its new dimensions and after that, save the file in .AI format. Is that possible ? How could i achieve this ?
Thanks in advance.

OK, so here's another version of a script I posted the other day. Copy and paste into the ESTK or a text editor that will save as plain text. Save with a .jsx file extension. Place it in Adobe Illustrator CS4>Presets>Scripts and restart AI (or you can run it from the ESTK).
#target illustrator
Place_PDF_to_AI.jsx
DESCRIPTION
This script gets files specified by the user from the
selected folder and batch processes them and saves them
as AIs in the user desired destination with the same
file name.

Fact - dimension and Fact Join

Hi ,
I have a issue in OBIEE 11g here ,
I am trying to query two columns from 2 different fact tables F1 and F2
the join between these tables is F1 - D - F2 , where D is the confirmed dimension.
so when i am querying for
f1.c1 , d.c1 , f2.c1 , its throwing me up with error
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
Can you please help me with this issue , am i doing the correct join ??, can we query two columns from two diff fact tables?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Thanks for your responses , I have tried creating hierarchy dimension and assgned levels to the fact sources but i still see the error
and
Combining 2 facts will resolve the issue but its not the case here as each fact table has about 25 dimensions connected to it , but there are only 2 confirmed dimensions between both facts and the problem here is user wants to see both the fact tables in the same subject area
I have been trying but unable to get the solution.
Can you guys please suggested any other way of achiving this task
Thanks a lot

Summary Report with 4 Dimensions and 5 Facts

Hello OBIEE Czars:
I have a problem.
I am trying to make a summary report with 4 Dimensions and 5 Facts.
Out of that only 2 Dimensions are Confirmed.
Now when I try to bring in all the facts, I get view display error.
I searched forum for similar issues.
So I have tried following so far.
1) Add other dimensions as source and set level to Total for those dims.
- After doing this, I dont get view display error, but I get blank rows for couple of facts.
2) I am already aggregating all the measures.
Please help me out.
This forum has been very helpful so far.
Thanks.

Hi
This method seems fine until you run a request that includes a filter on an unconformed dimension.
The SQL itself should be quite straightforward (see below) but the BI Server instance does not seem to be joining this data correctly after posting the 2 separate queries to the database.
SELECT
x.dim1, x.dim2
x.fact1_agg_measure
y.fact2_agg_measure
FROM
SELECT
dim1, dim2
SUM(fact1.measure) fact1_agg_measure
FROM
dim1,
dim2, --UNCONFORMED+
fact1
WHERE
.... .... join fact1 to dimensions as normal
AND dim2 = 'BUSINESS_IDENTFIER'
GROUP BY
dim1, dim2
) x,
SELECT
dim1
SUM(fact2.measure) fact2_agg_measure
FROM
dim1,
fact2
WHERE
.... .... join fact2 to dimensions as normal
GROUP BY
dim1
) y
WHERE
x.dim1 = y.dim1
The result set returned in Answers is firstly a correctly aggregated record plus ALL rows from the second query above ??
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue?

How to find all intersections of children of currency dimensions and currentmembers of all other dimensions where data exists

Hi all, I have a requirement where I need to find all intersections of children of currency dimensions and currentmembers of all other dimension wherever data exists for them.
Its a ASO cube with and version is 11.1.2.2.
If I try to write the formula in a the below way to test, I get an error that 'Currenttuple can only be used with a named set'. But when I try to create a named set with the 'WITH' keyword, it not able to recognize the 'WITH' keyword. I think I am missing something obvious and this may not be the correct way to achieve this. Please help.
1st try with just Currenttuple - error 'Currenttuple can only be used with a named set'
iif(
(isgeneration([Time].currentmember,4)),
CASE
WHEN NOT ISEMPTY(
Crossjoin([Currency].Children,
{([Time].currentmember,[Org].currentmember,

THEN Missing
ELSE Missing

2nd try to create a named set with 'WITH' keyword - syntax error at WITH

Hi Tim,
Thanks for you reply and sorry for my delayed response. Actually there is one more requirement in this, which makes it a bit complicated. There are another set of members in the Measure dim called FXDirrate and FXIndrate. The logic is :
1. If data exists for the combination of a Currency.children, FXDirrate and current member of all other dims
then convert the value for Currency.children by diving by FXDirrate
2. If data exists for the combination of a Currency.children, FXIndrate and current member of all other dims
then convert the value for Currency.children by multiplying by FXIndrate
3. Then value of the calculated members will be sum(all FXDirrate converted + all FXIndrate)
Currency does roll up but as the data for its children can either be in Dirrate or Indrate and the sum needs to be taken after the conversion, there I am not able to proceed as I am not able to check the existence of data in individual children of currency as Isempty isn't working on a set . Thanks a lot for your help.

Analysing Dimensions and assigning the char

Hello Experts,
I have the following requirement

I am using standard data source 0fi_gl_4 and stadard ODS 0figl_O02 and this does'nt have Standard cube (please tell me if it has standard cube) as i could'nt find any.
Could any one tell me what dimensions i need to take and which characteristics should be assigned under specific Dim for the above requirement. As i don't have knowledge on FIGL i am unable to analyse the things.
i have loaded the data till ODS and now gng for creating Z cube .please do the needful in analysing the dim and assigning the char,
Points are assured..

How to identify the source column and source table for a measure

Does anyone have a query that I can use to positively identify the source column and source table for a cube measure in an SSAS cube? Visual Studio shows ID, Name, and Source, but it is nearly worthless in a large cube and database.
Also - the same for a dimension would be great.
If no query exists for this, can someone please explain how to find the source column/table for a measure and for a dimension?
Thanks.

DMVs don’t expose the DataSourceView content. AMO is much better suited for object model operations like
this than the DMVs. PowerShell is also sometimes an option, but in this case C# code would be much easier because analyzing the contents of the DataSourceView is much easier using the .Net DataSet class.
Hope this helps.

Filling of Dimension and Fact tables

Hello every one,
Basically from the training guide from net. I have come to know that when you make Dimenions or facts you put every column to the source as seperate level e.g 'emp_no' column from the source will be a level in OWB and will convert into 'id and emp_no'. Now the problem arises that how can i populate them both when data will come in emp_no from source, should i link a sequence with every level's IDs.
I am pretty much confuse and then at the time of making OLAP Cube, will i call the IDs of every level or what. Please guide me.
Thanks

Dimension level can have more than one attribute (except ID), so if you have a customer dimension, and customer is at the lowest levelof your hierarchy, this level can have multiple attributes like first_name, last_name, address, age etc. On the next hierarchy level you can have, for example, customer_type, where you will have customer_type_id and again multiple level attributes (customer_type_name, income_bracket etc.).
For OLAP you indeed have to have a unique id across all the levels (you cannot have a customer_id that is identical with a customer_type_id). You can achieve this for example by loading each level id in a separate mapping ssequentially from the same sequence (this would not be particularly efficient, but can be acceptable in some cases) or by having one sequence per level. These sequences start with different numbers and you take care that the sequence numbers they generate will never overlap. For example you can have a cust_s sequence that populates the customer_id, and you know that you will probably never ever have more that 100 thousands customers. In this case, this sequence will start with 1. As for the customer_type_id, you can have the sequence cust_type_s that starts with 10 million and progresses from there (always take some slack in these cases). This way the values generated by cust_s and cust_type_s will (probably) never overlap.

Many to Many relationship betwee dimension and fact tanle

Hello Gurus,
I have a little question about many to many realtionship between fact and dimension table. The situation is as follows.
Consider there is a fact table F1 and two dimension tables D1 and D2. D1 is joined to F1 with 1 to many relationship. D1 is joined to D2 with again one to many relationship ( Note: D1:D2 = 1:N and D1:F1 = 1:N). I am able to model this by merging D1 and D2 into one dimension table in BMM layer by adding them as logical table sources and creating logical table source join. I have built simple reports and the data returnned is fine. However, I would just like to know what could be the drawbacks of such a model.
We have many other dimesions joined to the fact table and users have access to the answers that means they would could what ever report they feel like. Hence, would just like to know in what cases this model could break which means reports would give wrong data because of a many to many relationship between one of the fact and dimension table.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Copter,
Even I had modeled it by reading this link before. In the situation explained by me dimension D1 is doing the job of table Rules ( as explained in link). The model is fine.
However, my point is to undersatnd in which scenerios this model will break. As already explained, the fact table is joined to various other dimensions, there could be situations in which users select columns from various dimensions and facts randomly.
Hence, which are the scenerios where I might get erroneous counts of meassures. Further, if someone feels this model is correct and would not break in any scenerio then please reply.

Dimension and Fact out of Daily Extract File

Hi Folks,
We have a third party vendor which provides us with a daily extract of data in an excel file with about 40 columns. Some of the columns are a typical detail info like "State Name", "Payer
Name" etc. and some are numerical columns like "Billing rate", "Amount Paid" etc.
Now for long term reporting I want to setup a proper datawarehouse with Dimension and Fact Tables. The issue is that the third party vendor is not giving us access to the database source of these excel extracts. So, If I want to design a Dimension
like Dim_Payer, I have only those Payer which are available in the daily excel extract file.
I was thinking of doing a reverse ETL process to load Dimension and Fact Table. So I read the daily excel extract file for unique Payer names and then load the Dimension table with unique keys for Payer. Going forward I only add new Payers. I then load the
Fact tables with these keys.
Let me know if my approach has any issues.
Thanks!

The approach looks fine.
What you could do is to have a SSIS package using data flow task. In it use a excel source and have a set of lookup tasks to see if payer, state etc exists and link the no match output to OLEDB destinations to insert missing values to the table. Finally
have a data flow task to insert data to fact table after having lookups with relevant dimensions to get the reference ids.

Thank you for your reply.
With your help, I can verify it easier rather than creating dataform to verify it.
I have resolved the question now, the root cause is I had used the wrong parameter, shouldn't add '/N' in the command. for /N is a dry run to check whether there are error in CSV file, it won't perform metadata load.
If no error occured, run the command without /N, then the metadata load will be performed.

Creating scenario dimension and loading data

Hi all,
We have two fact tables. The first one is sales that include quantity and subtotal columns. The other one is budget that include quantity and subtotal. We are working with hyperion essbase 9.3. First of all we are creating two model. For sales model we create 7 dimensions (product, chanell, time, company, currency, customer, account) and 3 attribute dimension and for budget model we create 4 dimensions (account,company,customer,product) in metaoutline. And we create 2 application for each metaoutline. We plan to report sales vs budget but we don't know how to join sales and budget data. Everybody recommends scenario dimension. we don't know how to create sceneraio dimension and in which application Essbase integration or Essbase administration services.
thank you.

I agree with Cameron. The best way is to put them into one cube. Since you are using a SQL source you can manulate it to have your budget load to the same time level as your actuals. For example suppose you load actuals daily and Budget is Monthly. for consistancy, you could load the budget data into the 15th day of the month. At the Monthly level where you would compare budget to actual, the numbers will be correct. Loading into dummy members for the dimensions that don't exist for budget is a common practice when trying to sync up data. If you really want to make it easy, you could union a view to make it look like you have a single fact table (based on the combo of budget and actual) and have a single metadata outline to load everything. I prefer having two because of different load requirements, but this is an option.
If you don't want to go this way, the next option is to partition your budget data into the actuals cube. this would keep them seperate but allow you to see them togeter. Between the two option, I prefer the single cube approach better

I got an EarlyWatch that said my dimensions on one of cube were too big. I ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS in SE38 in my development box and that confirmed it.
So, I redesigned the cube, reactivated it and reloaded it. I then ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS again. The cube doesn't even show up on it. I suspect I have to trigger something in BW to make it populate for that cube. How do I make that happen manually?
Thanks.
