Ora-00942 when creating time dimension

hi All,
I am new to data warehouse, i have created a date dimension " date_dim " in a target location, it has created a corresponding mapping "date_dim_map" in mappings section.
But when i try to deploy the dimension i get error ora-00942 table or view does not exist.
I get the same error when i try to deploy the corresponding map created by this dimension.
any ideas what the problem could be.
regards

oops got it had to deploy the corresponding table first.\

ORA-00942 when creating external table under 10g with AQ

I have an application that runs with AQ. The front-end queues up batch-type
tasks in a queue. When one particular kind of message is dequeued, it
initiates a data load. That load requires the creation of an external
table.
The schema in question is owned by user BL (bulkload). The queue
is owned by BLB (bulkload batch), primarily to simplify some of the
rules needed by the resource manager in order to limit the total CPU
a batch process can consume. The BLB user has full access to the
BL schema, along with the following rights:
CREATE TYPE
CREATE TABLE
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE VIEW
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE SEQUENCE
ALTER SESSION
CREATE SESSION
QUERY REWRITE
CREATE ANY CONTEXT
EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
CREATE ANY DIRECTORY
DROP ANY DIRECTORY
The table creation works fine under 9.2.0.8 (our current required
version). However the application generates an ORA-00942 table or view does
not exist when run under 10g (10.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.3).
The following statement is the problem:
CREATE TABLE bulkload33 (
          field1 VARCHAR2(2000),field2 VARCHAR2(2000),field3 VARCHAR2(2000))
          ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
          TYPE oracle_loader DEFAULT DIRECTORY EXT_100
          ACCESS PARAMETERS ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY "\r\n"
          CHARACTERSET 'WE8ISO8859P1'
          BADFILE EXT_100:'bulkload_bad.csv'
          LOGFILE EXT_100:'bulkload_log.csv'
          FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
          OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS (
          field1 CHAR(2000),field2 CHAR(2000),field3 CHAR(2000),field4 CHAR(2000)))
          LOCATION ('bulkload.csv')
          ) REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED PARALLEL;
To clarify, the preceding statement, when handled by the process
for a queue message, failes with an ORA-00942.
Note that I can issue the command directly, as BLB or SYS, against
the BL schema with no problems. Further, as user BLB or SYS, I can do
the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE dotest
IS
     l_sql varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
     l_sql := 'CREATE TABLE bulkload33 (
          field1 VARCHAR2(2000),field2 VARCHAR2(2000),field3 VARCHAR2(2000))
          ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
          TYPE oracle_loader DEFAULT DIRECTORY EXT_100
          ACCESS PARAMETERS ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY "\r\n"
          CHARACTERSET ''WE8ISO8859P1''
          BADFILE EXT_100:''bulkload_bad.csv''
          LOGFILE EXT_100:''bulkload_log.csv''
          FIELDS TERMINATED BY '',''
          OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY ''"'' MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS (
          field1 CHAR(2000),field2 CHAR(2000),field3 CHAR(2000),field4 CHAR(2000)))
          LOCATION (''bulkload.csv'')
          ) REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED PARALLEL';
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql;
END;
show errors
EXEC dotest
Does anyone have any ideas of why this doesn't work under 10g? Metalink
has yielded no clues so far.
Thanks.

Define "has full access to the BL schema" given that it is impossible to grant access rights, in Oracle, by schema. What was done and how was it done?
My guess is that the privs were granted in a role, rather than explicitly, as is required for PL/SQL.

Create time dimension table in repository without data warehouse

Hi,
I want to implement only BI repository solution in my customer (not datawarehousing). Is it possible to transform the data by repository tools, so that the times columns in fact tables are categorized by the "time dimension" table?
To be more explanatory:
The "Sales" table has the "time of sale" column. It contains the timestamp when the sale was performed. I have imported this table in "physical layer" of the repository. Now I want to create a new "time dimension" table, something like:
CREATE TABLE dimension_time (
Day_Key INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Day_Timestamp DATETIME NOT NULL,
Day_Name NVARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
Day_Text NVARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
INSERT INTO dimension_time VALUES (20110101, {d '2011-01-01'}, '1/1', 'January 1', 'Saturday', 0, 6, 1, 1, 185, 1, 201052, 'W52', 'Week 52', 52, 201101, '01', 'January', 1, 7, 1004, 'Winter', 'Winter', 20111, 'Q1', '1st Quarter', 1, 20103, 'Q3', '3rd Quarter', 3, 20111, 'S1', '1st Semester', 1, 20102, 'S2', '2nd Semester', 2, 2011, '2011', '2011', 2010, '10/11', '2010/2011', 0);
INSERT INTO dimension_time VALUES (20110102, {d '2011-01-02'}, '2/1', 'January 2', 'Sunday', 0, 7, 2, 2, 186, 2, 201052, 'W52', 'Week 52', 52, 201101, '01', 'January', 1, 7, 1004, 'Winter', 'Winter', 20111, 'Q1', '1st Quarter', 1, 20103, 'Q3', '3rd Quarter', 3, 20111, 'S1', '1st Semester', 1, 20102, 'S2', '2nd Semester', 2, 2011, '2011', '2011', 2010, '10/11', '2010/2011', 0);
and after to add a new column in "sales" fact table for "time dimension ID" and through the repository populate this column based on the "time of sale" column and the corresponding "time dimension ID".
I know that the ETL process might perform it, but I do not want to go for Data Warehousing (it is not real - time, needs more resources, etc).
Is it possible to perform such action only on repository?
Thank you.

Hi,
I can do it, but this would be usefull only to create "time dimension" table. But also the "sales" fact table needs to be altered (thus, the "time" column will not contain the value of the time, but the ID of the corresponding time in the "time dimension" table).
I know that on DW this procedure is done automatically by the ETL process.
My question is that does the repository has any tools similar to this?
Thank you.

Duplicate attribute key found when creating a dimension

Good Afternoon,
I created a cube with dimesnions and all is working fine. I created three dimension ZONE,BLOCK and STREET and these are reltated to the FACT table and all is well. But i was thinking since these 3 dimensions are related and coming from the same table, why
not just create one dimension with ZONE as the primary key and the heirarchy as zone>block>streetname. In the DSV i created a named query.
SELECT DISTINCT ZONE, BLOCK, STREET
FROM dbo.MYTABLE
group by zone,block,street
order by zone,block,street
Please see the sample dataset as well, where when i process the DIMENSION fails with an error that the "Duplicate attribute key was found, column name:Zone, value:1). I know zone and also the other two columns when processed are repeated more than once
and hence this, is there a way to get what i want.
ZONE BLOCK STREET
1 0 Chesapeake
1 0 East Market
1 0 East Maryland
1 0 East Washington
1 0 North Capital
1 0 North Delaware
1 0 North Illinois
1 0 North Meridian
1 0 North Penn
1 0 South Delaware
1 0 South Illinois
1 0 South Meridian
1 0 South Penn
1 0 Virginia
1 0 West Georgia
1 0 West Jackson
1 0 West Market
1 0 West Maryland
1 0 West New York
1 0 West Washington
1 100 East Washington
1 100 East Market
1 100 East Maryland

Thanks
SV

Thanks Richard and SS. This is what i did.
1) In the DSV i created a new named query, the same one i used.
2) Set Primary Key on Street.
3) Created a dimension STG_ZBS_DIM and while creating the heirarchy , i draged and dropped the fileds in the following order (zone>block>street).
4) Tired to process , but getting the same error, except this time at the street level.
What else i did was changed the primary key back to Zone, went into the attribute relations and set the relation from Zone to Block and then Block to Street, saved and processed and this time i got the error at the block level :-(
Thanks

Creating Time dimension in BW data model. - like seen in logical data model

Hello all,
I have been struggling with this thing and I am looking for some help from anyone on this forum.
We are trying to create a logical data model of our bw system. We are going live next month with Student module for universities. We have multiple Infocubes and DSO and since there is so much crossing over in between them most of the reporting is done on infosets.
One of the thing we were thinking; is it possible to create something like a common time dimension table for every infoprovider. Basically when we are providing the reports to the end user can we give them a drop down menu which gives a time frame for reporting rather than selecting.
Example: Like can we create something which looks in the drop down like current month data, last months data, three months ago, four months ago, five months ago, one year ago, two years ago. Can we make like these data slices in our cube and deliver it to the end user?
We have in our cube a few date infoobjects, like receipt date, decision date, cancellation date and like wise.
Please let me know if any one has done any similar thing, it will be very helpful.
Thank you so much in advance.

if you add your common time dimension to your data model, first identify for each infoprovider the time against which 'current month' and other frames should be applied and map them to your dimension.
just a question... are you not using time dimension in cubes ? ideally this should be your time dimension llinking all.
when you use time dimension which uses 'current month' , 'current year' , you will have to address their historisation as well. (because current month now will not be so current after 2 months).
so in data load procedure every day these values need to change (meaning drop and reload).
and routines to populate these values based on reporting date.

OWB 904 - problems creating time dimension

I'm using Oracle9iR2 DB and OWB 904. I have not much experience with OWB 904 yet and problems with creating the time dimension.
I tried to figure out the example which comes with OWB 904 and did everything as it is written in the readme.txt file:
1. loaded the time table functions owb_time_seq.sql and owb_time.sql in my runtime user schema
2. imported the owb_bp_time.mdl file into my design repository, which created the demo project 'OWB_BP'
The problems which I have with this demo are:
1.) I get warnings when I validate the mappings (TF_TIME_MAP):
VLD-1002: Mapping object T_TIME is not bound to a repository object.
VLD-1004: Column length of L_DAY_NAME is longer than the target column length.
VLD-1004: Column length of L_MONTH_NAME is longer than the target column length.
VLD-1004: Column length of L_QUARTER_NAME is longer than the target column length.
VLD-1004: Column length of L_YEAR_NAME is longer than the target column length.
VLD-3260: No Output Attribute name is specified. In this case, the attribute’s physical name will be used.
VLD-1123: Missing location information for Module WAREHOUSE.
VLD-1115: Commit frequency is defaulted to Bulk Size.
I know how to solve the errors VLD-1002, VLD-1004, VLD-1123 and VLD-1115 but I have no idea how I should solve VLD-3260 and VLD-1002, because reconcile outbound is not possible for the T_TIME dimension.
2.) When I try to import the table function
TIMEDATA (IN VARCHAR2, IN NUMBER) return TABLE
from the runtime user schema into my design repository I get the error message: Argument Data type is not supported.
3.) I cant deploy the mapping TF_TIME_MAP.
Is it possible to use the table function from the demo to create a time dimension and to import it into my own project? My aim is to create a bean compliant time dimension and I want to know what I have to bear in mind to accomplish that. The OWB904UsersGuide didn't give me enough information, therefore I'm asking if you can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Dirk

Dirk,
The way you should approach the time dimension is following:
- Run the SQL scripts into your target schema (you already did).
- Import the MDL file (you already did).
- Copy and paste the times dimension into your own project to be able to use it.
- Copy and paste the mapping you want to use to your own project.
- If necessary, modify the times dimension according to your needs; change the mapping accordingly.
- Open the mapping, do a right mouse click on the time dimension and select 'Reconcile inbound'. Select matching strategy to match by bound name.
We do not currently support the table function as an object in the metadata repository. I.e. if it exists at runtime then you can call it (as the time dimension load mappings do).
With the objects in the target schema you should be able to deploy the mapping.
Thanks,
Mark.

Error in creating time dimension

Hi,
I created a simple time dimension with two levels: year and month, and each level has one element that serves as chronological key. This is the error I got when checking global consistency:
"The physical table 'my time table' , which is part of a time dimension table, is also used in the logical table 'my time table', which is not part of any dimension".
What does it exactly mean?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi ,
Please provide details about how you are bringing in the table into presentation layer , its seems like the table is taken as a fact table by the tool , its very important how you are defining the relationship in the logical diagram.Some times its easier to bring a dummy table along in the physical layer and make a sensible logical diagram, since you are trying to create a time dimension you want it to have drillability , so you have to create a hierarchy on the same table.The key here is to make sure the tool understands what you really want ,sometimes you have to work around since the logical diagram is the only way the tool makes sense of the tables brought in.
Thank you,
Mohammad Farhan Alam

Creating Time Dimension from date columns in fact tables.

I remember watching a demo from a BI Tool a couple years ago, wich I swear was OBIEE, and the presentator stated it was possible to create a Time Dimension in the admin tool, based on a date column in other table.
Can you guys tell me if there's such functionality in OBIEE?
If so, how could I achieve that?!
Thanks in advance!
Marcos

hi,
You are trying to make Fact table as Dim table ???
Fact table has some dim columns??
We can do this by making a fact table as dim table ,create a dim hierarchy on that table
Year level :Extract(year from fact_date_column)
Month and year level:CAST (Extract(month from fact_date_column) As CHAR(5) ) || CAST (Extract(yearfrom fact_date_column) As CHAR(5) )
Like this
But,be careful while doing this make sure that all joins and content levels are good
As per my knowledge this is not a good way,Experts can add some words lets see!!!!!! :-)
thanks,

ORA-02263 when creating Report on Web Service Result

Hi,
I'm using Application Express 4.2.1.00.08 and I'm having problems creating a report on web service result.
This is the tutorial I'm using: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/web_serv.htm (yes, I realize it's intended primarily for APEX 3.2).
I am able to create the web service, but when creating a report on web service result, I get the following error in the last step:
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
I have tried creating a report on the same web service result on apex.oracle.com (Application Express 4.2.1.00.08) and I don't get the error, and I am able to create the report.
The same thing happens with another web service, so I'm puzzled.
What could be the problem?
Thank you.

I wasn't able to solve the original problem, but I was able to recreate the process manually, using APEX_WEB_SERVICE.PARSE_RESPONSE function, documented here:http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_web_service.htm#autoId10

Blink cursor when create timer

Hi all.
I create timer in form9iDS when open a stacked canvase,
When the mouse is over this canvase the cursor blink until delete timer.
please help me.
thanks.

Hi!
May try the following:
Create for example a parameter or a package variable of type number with initial value 0 in your form.
In your when-new-form-instance trigger create a repeating timer lets say ticking every 20 seconds.
In your pre-item/post-item and may a when-mouse-click trigger set the variable back to 0.
In your when-timer-expired trigger, add 20 to your above created number variable
and if your timeout is reached, what means for example the variable is above 100, clear the form.
btw: everytime you create a timer, first check if it is already there.
DECLARE
timer_id Timer := find_timer ( 'emp_timer' );
BEGIN
if
id_null ( timer_id )
then
timer_id := CREATE_TIMER ('emp_timer', 10000, REPEAT);
end if;
END;Regards

The table i am inserting into using the DB adapter does exist in the subscribing DB. The only thing i can think of is some table/view is missing within the hub repository itself.
Please help.
Thanks!
-MB

Initially I would try calling the subscribe package standalone in SQL*plus or TOAD just to check its not somekind of config problem...
The subscribing adapter trys calling the subscribing package passing in the message as an oracle data type.
I would write a small pl/sql wrapper that calls you subscribing package outside of the runtime Interconnect environment. If this all works and you can insert data into the table then it maybe something to do with the metadata in the repository and then i'd go along with Ian's suggestion.
But usually if you can successfully use iStudio to edi things then usually the repository is OK.
Also from your log you can see that it has picked up the message and is trying to call the packaged/procedure so it looks like the adapter is working OK.
Cheers Stuart.
