Problems working with different types of aggregation in two facts table

Hello every Body!! Greetings from Brazil..
At fisrt I'd like to say that I've tried to find some thead with the same problem, but I've foud no answere. That is why I'm typing this new post.
Here we go ...
I've a Fact table with one metric and two degenerate dimensions..
For exemple:
Invoice_number
Puschase_Date
Purchase_Value$
When I model it at Business Model Mapping, I used the Aggregation's type below:
Invoice_number - None
Puschase_Date - None
Purchase_Value - Sum
So far it works fine at Answeres area.. Since I use only values from this Fact..
But... if I try to join values from two different Facts Table (both of them sharing the same Dimensions) and the Second Fact has an aggregated value, it does'nt work... I get 'null' as values (metrics) of the second Fact Table...
I think that it is caused because I'm working whith different types of aggregation, but I don't know the solution.
By the wat, the second Fact I've told has only one metric, aggregated whith 'SUM'.
Is there a solution? Any hint?
Tks.
Vettore

int x = (int)(7 + 3.0 / 4.0 * 2); //the variable will do the math bracket first. then the va type will still be an int because int was never changed.
Following the standard order of operations, 3.0/4.0 will result in a double, then 2 will be converted to a double before being multiplied to the result, then 7 is converted to a double before being added to the result, and then the (int) cast will force a conversion
back to an int.
Console.WriteLine((1 + 1) / 2 * 3); // 1 + 1 will be done first then 1 / 2 then * by 3
Correct.
I THINK THATS ALL WRONG ^ =/ like the comments
Why?

Cubes with different dimensions based on the same fact table

I have a fact table (f_a) with three dimensions (dim_a, dim_b, dim_c) and a one measure (m_a).
Is it possible to create cube with only one dimension (dim_a)?
Data for other two dimensions (dim_b, dim_c) should be aggreagated together.
Of course i can create second fact table with only one dimension, and then creating that cube would be no problem.
But is it possible doing this directly from the primary fact table (without creating second fact table)?
Raf
PS:i use AWM 9.2 to create target cubes. Source cubes i create with OEM 9.2

At the beginning i was confused by the numberous kind of cubes...
for example when i created cube in MS i just designed cube, picked fact table, and that's all. In Oracle firstly i create project of cube (first cube) in OWB. Then i export it to the OLAP Catalog (second cube). That cube in OLAP catalog is a source cube for the AW cube (third cube). Then i need to enable AW cube for OLAPI by creating another cube in OLAP Catalog (i use 9iR2, so OLAPI doesn't have direct access to AW cubes).
I spent much time until i could see my first sample cube in Discoverer or Excel as a final user should see it. :-)
Now i'm facing another problem - when you redesign cube (for example add another dimension), you can't just "refresh" it as it was in MS. You have to delete old cube and create new one. And deleting cube isn't so simple (i'm not sure which elements i should delete).
For testing and learning purposes i just create every cube in seperate AW. deleting whole AW is much simplier that deleting one cube.

Working with NUMBER types in ASP

Hi,
We are having big problems working with Oracle from a ASP application. We return data from the Oracle (8i) database using Oracle ODBC driver (9.2). However, whenever Oracle returns NUMBER columns (Number(8)), we cannot work with them in ASP because of an ASP VBScript bug that prevents adNumeric from working withouut explicitly casting to numbers (see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q195/1/80.ASP&NoWebContent=1&NoWebContent=1 for more info).
I was wondering if there is any other way to get round this in ORacle - can I set somethign in the ODBC driver that instead of returning the data as adNumeric, it returns it as some other number type that wont exhibit this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone :-(

Is it possible to work with different languages in different applications?

Hi,
is it possible to work with different languages in different applications?
To have f.e. Photoshop in English and Indesign in Dutch??
Thanks!

I am not sure about it that you can use different apps in different language in the same computer, however you can check the following links:

ASP application has problems working with oracle database 8.1.7

ASP application has problems working with oracle database 8.1.7 through both oracle ODBC driver and Microsoft ODBC driver
We have an ASP application running on Windows 2000 server, and with 8.1.7 Net8Client and MDAC 2.6 SP1.
The application worked fine with an Oracle 8.0.5 database.
After upgrading oracle database to 8.1.7.0.0, our ASP application works fine except when updating the same data record more than once. The application is not saving our updates.
We tested our application using Oracles ODBC driver v8.1.7.5.0
and experienced more problems. We had problems just bring up our data entry pages. In either case, we are returned with some 505 errors in our browser, problems with the ASP pages and IIS, the page is not displaying.
If anyone has some suggestions on how to fix my problem, please advise. Thanks in advance.

thanks...i saw one article with this approach..but the document did not present the detailed process...do you have one? i am still searching for a good procedure to follow...since it is an old database and focusing/studying old versions like this is a pain in the a**... :(

Joining two fact tables with different dimensions into single logical table

Hi Gurus,
I try to accomplish in Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.3.0:
F1 (D1, D2 and D3)
F2 (D1 and D2 and D4)
And we want to build a report F1 F2 D1 D2 D3 D4 to have data for:
F1 that match only for D1-D2-D3
and data for
F2 that match only D1-D2-D4
all that in one row, so D3 and D4 are not common dimensions.
I can only do:
F3 (D1, D2)
F4 (D1, D2 and D4)
And report
F3 F4 D1,D2,D4 (all that in one row, and only D4 is not a common dimension)
Here is the very good example how to accomplish the scenario 1
http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/08/joining-two-fact-tables-with-different.html
But looks like it does not work in 11.1.1.3.0
I get
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail: [,,Clients,,Day,ROI,,,,EW_Names,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,]. (HY000)
I am sure I set up everything correctly as advised in the blog but it works with only one not a common dimension
Is it a bug in 11.1.1.3.0 or something?
Thanks,
Kate

Thanks for all your replies.
Actually, I've tried the solutions you guys mentioned. Generally speaking, the result should be displayed. However, my scenario is a little bit tricky.
table Y's figures are not the aggregation of table X for D dimension. Instead, table Y's figures include not only D dimension total, but also others (others do not mean A, B, C dimension). For example, table Y stores all food's figure, while table X stores only drink's figure. D dimension is only about drink's detail. In my scenario, other foods' figure is not provided.
So, even if I set D dimension to all/total for table X, table X's result is still not the same as table Y.
Indeed, table Y does not have a column key to join to D dimension's key. So, if I select D dimension and table Y's measures at the same time in BI Answer, result returns no data. Hence, I can't compare table X and table Y's results with selection of D dimension.
Is there any solution to solve this problem?

Two Fact tables with Different set of Dimension Tables

Here is my scenario:
I got two fact tables: X and Y (actually, they are the same tables, but with different level of data)
and four dimension tables: A, B, C, D
X joins relationship to all dimensions (A, B, C, D).
Y joins relationship to only A, B, C, but no D.
When I select dimension A, B and C together with fact tables X and Y in BI Answer, result is displayed and compared.
However, if I select dimension D together with fact tables X and Y, only data from fact table X is displayed. There is no result displayed for fact table Y. I know that this is because fact table Y does not join to dimension D.
If the above relationship unchanged, how can I display both X and Y's result in BI Answer when dimension D is selected?

Thanks for all your replies.

Problem querying over two fact tables

The business requirement is that we want to be able to see sales for two different periods of times, over different brands, different Items' years and seasons per periods.
So for the different dimensions I created alias having two tables in the physical layer
for Brands, Shops and Items (tables) [These are the tables where I query for different brand, Item's year and different season]. The Business Model Schema looks like this:
Items-----> SALES <------Brands Items 2-----> SALES 2 <------------Brands 2
^ ^
TIMES TIMES 2 (TIMES JOINED WITH SALES AND TIMES 2 WITH SALES 2)
and VENDORS connected to both SALES & SALES 2 left outer joined
The need is that I need to query over two indepedent periods of time with independed dimensions but for a common dimension (Vendors).
The presentation data simplified looks like this:
Answers
Vendor Sales Qty Sales 2 Qty
1092 234 123
The problem is that when a vendor doesn't exist in one period it doesn't come and in the other although there are sales. So when I query with the same filters (same period of time, Brands, Items' years and seasons) over these two fact tables I get the same sales and correct data. When there are different criteria then I lose data.
The Query fired in the database is the following:
select distinct case when D2.c4 is not null then D2.c4 when D1.c4 is not null then D1.c4 end as c1,
D1.c3 as c4,
D1.c1 as c5,
D1.c2 as c6,
cast(D1.c2 / nullif( D1.c1, 0) * 100 as DOUBLE PRECISION ) as c7,
D2.c3 as c8,
D2.c1 as c9,
D2.c2 as c10,
cast(D2.c2 / nullif( D2.c1, 0) * 100 as DOUBLE PRECISION ) as c11

Problems querying over two fact tables

I have a problem! could anyone help???
I have two fact tables (coming out from two select statements in the physical layer).
SALES 2 is an alias of SALES. These two tables join with some dimensions. The schema is this:
DIMENSIONS 1 >SALES <---COMMON DIMS----> SALES 2 <-- DIMENSIONS 2
SALES has three separate dimensions joining only with it.
SALES 2 the same.
The problem is that there are two common dimensions between them. When I run a query for the same criteria the results are correct. But when I am running the query for different criteria SALES are affected by SALES 2 messing up the results. Probably the problem occurs by inner joining via the common dimensions. Can anyone help me please???? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Thank you very much for your patience....Here is the SQL:
SELECT VE04_TBL.VE_NAME saw_0, SALES.qty_1 saw_1, "SALES 2".qty_2 saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY )
FROM lpvemprofit
WHERE (TIMES.trans_date BETWEEN date '2009-01-01' AND date '2009-01-10')
AND (EI04_TBL.EI_YEAR = '2009') <-----(Item's Year)
AND (EI04_TBL.EI_SEASON_CODE IN ('R', 'Ε', 'Χ')) <----- (Item's Season)
AND (GE_SHOP_TBL.Brand = 'Καλογήρου') <-----(Shop's Brand)
AND ("TIMES 2"."trans_date 2" BETWEEN date '2008-01-01' AND date '2008-01-10')
AND ("GE_SHOP_TBL 2"."Brand 2" = 'Καλογήρου')
AND ("EI04_TBL 2".EI_YEAR = '2008')
AND ("EI04_TBL 2".EI_SEASON_CODE IN ('R', 'Ε', 'Χ')) ORDER BY saw_0

Querying against two fact tables with non conformed dimension

I have two fact tables and I have this set up in RPD :
Fact1 joined to DimA and DimB
Fact2 joined to DimA
On Front end I build two analysis:
Analysis 1:
DimA.A, Fact1.1, Fact2.2
Analysis 2 :
DimA.A, DimB.B, Fact1.1, Fact2.2
In the results of Analysis 1 , I am seeing correct values for Fact2.2
In the results of Analysis 2, I am seeing Fact2.2 as empty column. I think the reason is that Fact2 is not joined to DIMB.
Is it possible that I should be able to report against both dimension tables (DIMA and DIMB) columns for FACT1 and FACT2 measures.... Even though I don't have join between DIMB and FACT2.
Any response would be helpful!!!
Regards,
Annu

Hi,
Go to the LTS-- Content Level of the fact which does not have join with Dimension and put Total level for that Dimension and total level on Column(Measure also)(Double click --Levels)(Assume Dim Hierarchy is already set up)
Pull everything(D1,D2,F1,F2) You will see results.
Update Me
Thanks

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)

Two fact tables with same dimensions

Good Morning,
I am just assigned to a new project. This is my first maintenance request: two fact tables F1 and F2 that shares same set of dimemsion tables D1 and D2. In the Answers report, if I use a foreign key in either F1 or F2, for example F1.k1, I get an error of meta data inconsistency. But if I use same column from dimension table D1.k1, then no error.
Your help is very much appreciated.

Designing a cube with two Fact tables

Hi,
I am new to multi-dimensional modeling. I am trying to define a cube with two fact tables which have many to many relationship. so I came up with following schema:-
I want to design a cube so that I can get the count of "FactOne" items which are related to "FactTwo" items having particular status. So, I want to get the count of "FactOne" where they are related to items in "FactTwo"
which have "Status1". Could anyone please guide me how would I do it?
Thanks

Hi Ahsan,
In your scenario, there are tow fact tables on your Data Source View, and now what you want is that "count of FactOne" which are related to "FactTwo" in a particular status, right?
It seem that you have find a blog that describes how to select facts with reference dimension on you another thread. As per my understanding, you can follow that blog to achieve your requirement.

Type of vpn that will work with different manufacturers

hi,
I will be using cisco ASAs to offer a service.
I need to know what type of VPN I can build that will work with most manufacturers and be easy to manage.
I know site to site that works with everything.
I've used easyvpn and dmvpn but these are cisco vpn solutions.
what would you recommand if you have to offer a service where vpn connectivity is required to different manufacturer hardwares?
thanks.

As you already mention, it's pure site-to-site IPsec which should be your choice. And differently to the situation years ago, this works normally also in combination with other vendors.

Problem Working With Framemaker 9 Dita XML Files in Framemaker 10

I just upgraded to Framemaker 10. I am encountering a number of problems when I try to work with my Dita XML help topics, which were last saved in Framemaker 9 format.
1. Using the Default Dita Template
When I open one of my documents in Framemaker 10, the Dita 1.2 template ditabase.fm is automatically applied. Everything seems fine. But then when I convert the XML to Eclipse help (which is essentially html, so we're going from XML to HTML) using Dita Open Toolkit ant scripts, I see this message:
[pipeline] [DOTJ013E][ERROR] Failed to parse the referenced file 'html\c_licensing.xml' due to below exception. Please correct the reference base on the exception message.
[pipeline] c_licensing.xml Line 25:Attribute "xmlns:ditaarch" must be declared for element type "dita".
I then opened the xml file in a text editor, and I saw this on line 25:
<dita xmlns:ditaarch = "http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/">
Line 25 looks fine to me. Am I missing something?
2. Switching to a 1.1 Dita Template
I tried to work around the above problem. In Framemaker, I tried to set a different structured application as the default one. I closed all files and chose the default Dita 1.1 structured application (it defaults to the Dita 1.1. Composite app.)
Then I tried to open my file: I got this message inside Framemaker:
"Validation of XML failed. Continue?
Error at [FILE PATH], line 25, char 72, Message: Attribute '{http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/}ditaarch' is not declared for element 'dita'
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
I switched from the default Dita 1.1. Composite structured application to the Dita 1.1. Topic structured application. Then I dirtied the source file and saved it. The messages I got in FrameMaker log window included the one above, plus I got a variety of Unknown Element messages, things like this:
Unknown element dita,
unknown element concept,
various attributes are not declared for concept,
unknown element conbody.
If I switch back to the Dita 1.1 Composite application all of these messages diappear except for this one:
Attribute '{http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/}ditaarch' is not declared for element 'dita'
My ant conversion scripts from the Dita Open Toolkit are still unable to process this file. They give the same message as is listed in (1) above and the file is not converted to HTML.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I've also posted this question to the Dita Users Group on Yahoo Groups. If I get an answer in one place, I'll post it in the other.
Thanks,
Nina P.

I really appreciate all the help you are providing with this, Scott. I tried your latest suggestions. Here's what happened:
Application Mappings:
I figured out how to add my "BigPage" structured application to the Applications Mappings dialog. I made a new "BigPage" mapping type, then figured out the non-intuitive part: how to add my individual BigPage topic types to it. I closed and reopened FrameMaker opened my test document, and, as before (before I did the application mappings) I saw my BigPage applications listed in the Structure Tools > Set Structured Application drop-down. I selected the appropriate application (in this case it was DITA1.1-BigPage-Reference-FM and clicked the "Set" button.
It is at this point in Framemaker 9 (and also once, in FrameMaker 10, early in this process, but I haven't been able to replicate it since) that the page size would change to tabloid size, indicating that the document was using the template from the BigPage reference structured application, not the regular DITA1.1 reference application. But this did not happen.
I tried saving the document, closing it, and reopening it. Once again the default structured application assigned to that document was "reset" to DITA1.1-Reference-FM. But the fact that the page size did not immediate refresh to tabloid size told me that although I did select the BigPage application in the drop-down, it wasn't being applied.
Public IDs:
The public ID in my test reference XML file is: <!DOCTYPE reference PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Reference//EN" "reference.dtd" [
The four public IDs in the DITA1.1-BigPage-Reference-FM entry in structapps.fm (in the Entity Locations section) are:
-//OASIS//DTD DITA Reference//EN
-//IBM//DTD DITA Reference//EN
-//OASIS//DTD DITA Composite//EN
-//IBM//DTD DITA Composite//EN
Do you see anything wrong with the above? .
Directory Structure:
Maybe I cloned the application incorrectly? Here's what I did:
1. In C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker10\Structure\xml, I copied the folder called DITA and pasted it into the same directory. I renamed this folder DITA-BigPage
2. Inside DITA-BigPage, I opened the app folder. Inside each subfolder in app, DITA-Reference-FM, for example, I opened the edd file in Framemaker. In this case, the edd file name was reference.edd.fm.
3. I edited the top line of reference.edd.fm. It originally said:
Structured Application: DITA1.1-Reference-FM.
I changed it to say:
Structured Application: DITA1.1-BigPage-Reference-FM
4. I saved the EDD file. Then I opened the template file in the same folder. It was called: reference.template.fm.
5. In reference.template.fm, I first changed my page size: Format Menu > Page Layout > Page Size > Tabloid > Set.
6. Then I imported the element definitions from the corresponding EDD file: File > Import > Element Definitions > reference.edd.fm > Click Import > Click OK to dismiss verification message.
7. I repeated the above process for all topic-type folders. For the maps types, I did not change the page size, as these will never display as topics in my online help. I did nothing to the dtd folder.
8. Once all this was done, I opened structapps.fm. I did the following to all Dita1.1 elements in the structure tree.
Selected the Dita 1.1 XMLApplication element, for instance, the one named Dita1.1-Reference-FM, copied it, and pasted it underneath the original element.
The original first few lines in the clone looked like this:
Application Name: DITA1.1-Reference-FM
      Template:              $STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA\app\DITA-Reference-FM\reference.template.fm
      DTD:                       $STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA\app\dtd\reference.dtd
      Read/write Rules: $STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA\app\DITA-Reference-FM\reference.rules.fm
      DOCTYPE:              reference
I changed these lines to look like this, using your suggestion to create a variable for the first part of the URLs to enable speed and accuracy:
       Application Name:      DITA1.1-BigPage-Reference-FM
               Template:                    $STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA-BigPage\app\DITA-Reference-FM\reference.template.fm
               DTD:                            $STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA-BigPage\app\dtd\reference.dtd
               Read/write Rules:        $STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA-BigPage\app\DITA-Reference-FM\reference.rules.fm
               DOCTYPE:                    reference
I also changed the "Filename" URLs in the "Entity Locations" section of this XMLApplication clone from $STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA\app\ to $STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA-BigPage\app\. Applying the "BigPage" variable I'd created for this purpose made this go quickly.
Finally, after this didn't work the first few times I tried it, I got suspicious that the structapps.fm file in my AppData folder (in my case, it was in the Roaming subfolder under the usual Adobe directories) was overriding the modified structapps.fm file in the Framemaker program directory so I replaced the one in AppData (it had all the original settings) with my modified version. This had no effect, unfortunately.
That was my process. After doing the above, the Dita1.1-BigPage applications all listed in the Set Structured App drop-down. They just didn't work,when applied to my XML documents. Nor did the application "remember" what structured application I had set when I opened a new xml document or closed/reopened the current document or closed/reopened the application. Did I place the directories correctly for Framemaker 10? This is the way I did it for FrameMaker 9 and it worked successfully.
As much as I'd love to solve this mystery, I've thought of a workaround I can fall back on that doesn't involve using a cloned application. I will change the page size of a few of the original Dita1.1 sturctured application templates to tabloid size, but leave the Topic structured application at letter size. I'll then apply the Topic structured application to my PDFs and use the others for my help topics. I'll set this up now. If this doesn't work, then I'll know there's a much bigger problem at the base of this, perhaps even something to do with changing page sizes in templates.
