Problem with a multisourced dimension

Hi Guru's
I have a problem with a multisourced dimension. Some of the values that are in the tables are not visible when I create a filter and choose all choices, but when facts are set against the dimension these values do show.
This is the situation: In my physical layer I've got 3 tables that are all pretty similar, structure is like year, quarter, amount. From these three tables I create 3 fact tables and 1 dimension, where the dimension is YearQuarter with two columns (year and quarter) and 3 sources. One of these tables has a quarter 0 (zero). The DimYearQuarter table is innerjoined in the BMM wit all 3 facttables. Changing to right or left outer doesn't change the results.
In answers when i create a report just with the dimension columns , quarter 0 is not visible. When the measure (where the quarter 0 associated to) is added to my request it shows the values for quarter 0. When applying a filter, the quarter 0 is not visible with "all choices", but a filtercondition works with Quarter is equal to 0.
Any suggestions are kindly appreciated. If more info is needed, I'm very willing to provide.
I'm on 10.1.3.4.1 on windows server 2003 (server side) and XP professional as a client.
Kind regards,
Gilles

You should alias the physical tables such that you can then physically join the aliases one to another. Then you should be able to use the dimension table on it's own - for prompting purposes and such.
(Aliasing of physical tables is an OBI best practice)

Journal Problem with Replicating another dimension on User Defined

Hi experts,
A curious thing is happing on development, I follow the HTG "SAP Business Planning and Consolidation for NetWeaver - Journals.pdf"; and this generate fine the journal, but when I was testing, doing a simple journal entry, a trouble occurred, the template has the structure below:
Header:
Category
Time
Group
Row:
DataSrc
Entity
Account
Intco
Flow - SubTable
CLucro - User Defined
CCusto - User Defined
So when I fill all the information to every dimension and put the amount, I save, and don't get any error message, but on CLucro and CCusto appears the value of flow, and if I consult the Infocube on listcube I get this dimensions in blank.

Problem with number datatype dimension in BIB

Hi,
I've got a problem. When I create dimension with number datatype and I assign it to my cube, I cannot use my cube with my BIB presentation object - such as Crosstab. Is this possible only with varchar dimensions?

It should work, but it would be helpful if you could specify more information, for example which errormessage you are seeing and where.

Problems with multiple Attribute Dimensions

Hello Guys,
when i try to get data from an Essbase database using the Grid API with more then one Attribute Dimension,
the server needs a very long time to response or doesn't response at all.
I encounter the same behaviour when i perform a query using the Excel Query Designer.
Here is a sample query log output:
<subquery>
<cluster size="1">
<dim size="1"><member>MEASURE</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>PERIOD</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>YEAR</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>CATEGORY</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>CURRENCY</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>CUSTOMER</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>PRODUCT</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>Business</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>black</member></dim>
<dim size="1"><member>Attribute Calculations</member></dim>
</cluster>
</subquery>
<elapsedtime>94.217 seconds
Any help would be appreciated.

Martin Brandl

Thanks for the swift response. Always ideas are useful.
As of now , Middleware cannot split the file.
Thing is SAP is creating two Idocs with different message types. Problem is First IDoc contains ORDERS message type but also DELIVERY segments as well. Second IDoc with DELIVERY message tyoe but ORDERS segments as well... This is the problem... I think we are missing some field activation in file for EDIDC record.
As far as I know file port supports the number of IDocs in one file.. Hope TRFC port also supports that

Problems with root ( / ) partititon dimension

Everything is on the subject, using conky as a system monitor or scanning my file system with baobab (gnome utility) i see that my / partition has 7.8 GB of files but if i try to search "phisically" these files i can find only 5.5 GB...where are the remaining 2.3 GB?
The partition is formatted with XFS filesystem...
thanks
p.s. Baobab sees 7.8 GB but when i look at the files detail below this number i can find only 5.5 GB like i said before

Filesystem blocchi di 1K Usati Disponib. Uso% Montato su
/dev/sda1 15347840 8182668 7165172 54% /
/dev/sda2 125205652 17447956 107757696 14% /home
There are some words in italiana but i believe you know the layout of the output so it won't be too difficult to understand it.
However it seems that i'm using 54% of my root partition and this is 7.8 GB, 8.182.688 KB

Please Helps me
Regards,
Nayadeth

Hi Nayadeth,
It looks like the account for which you are getting the value like this is a balance sheet account. The balance sheet accounts will have the ACCTYPE property as AST or LEQ. Both these type of accounts have this behavior. The BS always represent year to date figures. That's the reason, in the TOTAL, you are getting the value of DEC. In Q1 you will be able to see the value of MAR. If you change the ACCTYPE to INC or EXP, then the TOTAL will have the sum of all the months.
Hope this helps.

EPM add-in problem with input data,retrieve dimension or members

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use data write back (input data) function with EPM add-in in Dashboards. I managed successfully bringing results of an EPM report. I've created a local connection at EPM, and created a connection at data manager for"Planning and consolidation, version for SAP netweaver platform". And i could get the values via refreshing connection at preview mode, so far so good. Now i want to add a connection which will serve as data write back function to a specific BPC cube. The problem is, I can retrieve data source name and environment name. But when i click to retrieve model names, it retrieves empty results. The problem exist in, "retrieve dimension" and"retrieve dimension members" functionalities too. I realized that i could retrieve model names for only one specific environment, but even i could get these, when i try to retrieve "cell definition" i am facing an error. You can see related screenshots below.
I am using Dashboards 4.1 SP2, EPM connector 10 SP 17. I created two connections as local and business planning and consolidation for netweaver. I selected same environment and model name for these connections. Neither did work. Any ideas?
Update: The reason i could see some model names and some others not was i didn't specified the model as data source at:
Enable BPC Model as reporting data source
Logon to BPC 10.0 NW web client -> Planning and Consolidation Administration -> Dimensions and Models -> Models -> Select the Model -> Edit -> Features Used with the Model -> mark check box 'Use as Source of Data' -> Save.
I will update here if i could find a solution for the other issue. (First screenshot).
Update_2: The problem was occuring because i wasn't connecting to transient cube, created automatically by applying the step at Update_1. While creating a local connection, you shouldn't connect to the original cube, but to the transient one instead to use input data functionality.
Regards,
Onur

Problem with drill down in time dimension - OBIEE 11G

Hello There,
I have a problem with drill down in time dimension. The hierarchy for time dimension is " Fiscal Year---> Fiscal Quarter---> Month(Name)--->Date". When I select a Time dimension and click results its getting opened in a Pivot table view. The problem here is, when I click the "Total" its getting drilled down to Year ---> Quarter but when I click on "+ sign next to quarter" it should drill down to month for that particular quarter for that particular year but its drilling down to month for that particular quarter for all years.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Harry.

1.) Congrats for resurrecting a year-old thread.
2.) Your answer is here: "Check the level key of the quarter level...it should include both quarter and year columns. Since a specific quarter occurs every year, quarter column alone can't be used as the level key."

Obiee 11g problem with dimension time DATETIME

Hi experts!
I have a problem with a column of my time dimension. In my database I have a column called "DATE" and it has this format "01/12/2009 00:00:00" (property column is DATETIME) when I import this table in Oracle Administration I see the same format that my database but I want to see without any Hours,minutes...like this: "01/12/2009"
How can I fix this??
Thanks!!!

Hi alex,
check the column name your passing and then cast it....the error is not related to that i suppose as it is internal assertion.
chk this http://tipsonobiee.blogspot.com/2009/06/error-nqserror-46036-internal-assertion.html
UPDATED POST
You can alternatively use oracle trunc function in the physical layer to trunc the timestamp.
1) go to the table where the date column is coming in physical layer
2) go to the general properties and select SQL and write the SQL of all the columns needed from that table like
select x,y,z,trunc(date) from table_name.
3) this truncates the timestamp
UPDATED POST-2
By the way which database are you using,if its oracle trunc works out....other databases it wont work
select trunc(sysdate) from dual in your TOAD and check out.
hope helps you,
Cheers,
KK

Problems with dimensions after upgrade to 11gRel2. VLD-0917 and ENT-06921

Hi Gurus
We´re testing the upgrade path from 10.2.0.5 to 11.2.0.2 and ran into a problem with the dimension-objects (ROLAP).
When we open the dimension editor, the Structure window shows the correct relationship between the dimension levels and attributes. However, when we look into the details for each level, no attributes are checked, and validating the Dimension gives the following error stack:
VLD-0917: An unknown error occured while generating DIM_ANSATT.
An unknown error occurred while generating DIM_ANSATT. Error details: ENT-06921: Level Attribute NAVN does not refer to any Dimension Attribute.
Translation:
DIM_ANSATT => DIM_EMPLOYEE
NAVN => NAME
We´ve found a workaround, but it´s a bit scary that the objects get corrupted during an upgrade, so we would really like to find the cause and "a real solution" for this problem.
We can reproduce this in both 11.2.0.1 on Windows and 11.2.0.2 on AIX.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards
Helge

Hi there,
We have a similar issue.
Diid you get a solution and what was your workaround?
Many Thanks

Problems with SB Live Dell Version for the Dimension 8200

I recently spent almost 6 hours looking in and out of forums looking for a driver because none of the ones supplied on dell were working

BPC NW 7.5 Problems with dimension ID member "Item has already been added"

Hi experts,
I have a problem when mantaining the dimension members in SAP BPC 7.5 in the administration console.
I try to introduce numeric values for the ID like for example 971048000011001 and 971048000011002, but when trying to save them, I get the error "Item has already been added. Key in dictianary: "9.71048E14" Key beeing added: "9.71048E14". It seems that BPC transforms the format into a text format before saving. Am I wrong? Is thera a solution?
I tried modifying the number format in the excel sheet, but nothing worked. Can anybody help me, please?
Thanks in advance,
Àlex

Hi Àlex.
Try to put an simple quote before de member value, for example '1234567890

Problem with dgraph.bins in descriptor dimensions

Hi Everyone,
We are using presentation API to retrieve the count of selected refinements(getDescriptorDimensions()),and facing issues(The values are null) accessing the dgraph.bins from the PropertyMap but we do not have any issues when we access the refinements available i.e getRefinementDimensions().
Also,the same code when we connect to MDEX 6.4.1,we are getting the count of selected refinements but the issue we are facing is w.r.t MDEX version 6.1.3.
In MDEX version,6.1.3,the propertyMap is becoming null but in the other it contains {Dgraph.Bins=10}
Any suggestions please?
Regards,
Shreyas

I believe refinement counts being returned with the descriptor dimensions was added in MDEX 6.2.0, and was not available previously.
