Question on DataSource dimension

When I execute a package to post inter-company eliminations, I want the new entries to post to a particular DataSource member (say, IC_ELIM). What is the configuration that needs to be set to make this happen?
I have a similar need to post allocations to a particular datasource member (I_ALLOC).
I see there are properties in the DataSource dimension like DATASRC_TYPE and IS_CONVERTED that may need to be set-up for this to happen. I  could not find much documentation on this.
Can anyone provide some info on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

That is how attribute dimension in planning forms behave, you can not pull attribute heirarchy in to the forms.
It will only pull the base members associated and level 0 attributes.
You might want create an alternate heirarchy with shared members if you need the heirarchy in the forms.

  • Question about the dimensions of a multiprovider

    Hi all,
    I need to create a multiprovider based on 2 infocubes. They have 22 dimensions altogether, without taking the default ones in account.
    I'm able to group 6 dimensions into 2 because they have characteristics in common, but after this action there will still be 16 dimensions.  
    My question is: is there any problem in putting unrelated dimensions together? Would there be some problem related to the multiprovider design?
    Thanks and regards,
    Tiago.

    HI,
    This mainly depends on the reporting requirements you have. If you want to do better on the reporting performance since the requirement is on the two cube with more number of characteristics. While design the cube take only those char which are useful for reporting. Group the char in dimension as per the reportign requirements like the two char collectively used in a query can be used in one dimension.

  • Question on MDX Dimension Formula.

    Dear Experts,
    Can any body explain me wht is MDX & importance in BPC.
    And how can i execute this below code.
    IIF(Account.H1.CurrentMember is Account.H1.[All Account.H1] And
    Account.H3.CurrentMember is Account.H3.[All Account.H3],
    (Account.H2.IFRSTRATE/Account.H2.WKSYR)*Account.H2.WKSCURMTH, NULL)
    And Where i can see output.
    I saw in a Function "AvgBal(FSA200)" in Formula Column of Account Dimension in a Sample Application. From where i can call this function & see out put.
    Please explain.
    Cheers,

    Hi Vadim,
    okay, let me explain the full Excel sheet in detail. It contains several reports all based on the same rows (accounts) and with the same dimensions in columns (datasource and entity). The difference is the members selected for datasource and entity. The whole report on one screenshot doesn't work, so here is the top left part:
    The yellow columns are the first report, the grey column to the right is my local member. Then follows the next report with a few columns, then another and so on.
    If we look at the local member in detail:
    you can see the formula is a sum listing individual members. In my options, the local member recognition is on and the option to use the position in axis is off.
    This is the definition of the local member
    My first attempt was to replace the formula with the one given above.
    the result is
    the sum now has only one element.
    I then tried to change the local member to this.
    which made the column disappear completely.
    Thanks,

  • Simple Design Analysis Question before designing dimensions and facts

    Hi I have a simple question ... (I think its simple)
    Suppose that i have the following staging table with the following columns:
    Student_Name | RollNo | Test_Date | Subject-Taken
    with data such as
    Kevin |123|12-4-2010|Physics
    now suppose that I want to design a cube on the basis of the above table so that I can succesfully get the result of a query such as
    List the names of all those students who took the test b/w 12-4-2010 to 12-5-2010 of the Subject Physics
    Here what i need to know what dimensions/Levels would u set and what would be our fact?
    I think that one dimension would be time ( but i am not sure how i would  accommodate and handle duration... any idea )
    would it be wise to make each column a dimension ??? for example the student_nanme a dimension and details of the student its attributes??
    Anyways the main thing is what bothers me is looking at the query we see that we are required 3 things the name of the student , the TestDate and subject taken so if i make the 3 columns the  dimension i am still not sure that i would be able to acomodate the query properly...any ideas on how to approach and handle these situations

    Yes I mean Time dimension, however in a DW you will have many Time dimensions, instead of creating a physical object for each you use a ROLE. If you edit a dimension in OWB you'll see that you can specify a ROLE on the first tab.
    Thanks for the great explaination... could you explain the process of roles a little more that will really save me some time... furthermore u stated
    + "instead of creating a physical object for each you use a ROLE" +
    The way i create dimensions is right clicking dimensions and selecting dimension.... for a standard dimension
    however incase of a time dimension i use a wizard... I am still a bit confused about "Physical objects" ... Id really really appreciated it if you can clarify this up...
    as discussed before one dimension would be Student and other would be subject
    and 3rd one would be TEST_DATE with role ?? and should that be a time_dimension or a standard dimension with a role defined ???

  • Question on DataSource

    Hi All:
    Two questions pl.
    1.  Is it a good idea to load an InfoCube directly from a DataSource?  Or is it good to load an ODS first and then load the InfoCube from data in ODS?
    2.  I was trying to load an InfoProvider from a DataSource.  There were two options when I created the Transformation.  Option 1 was to use the DataSource available in the APO system and Option 2 was to use the same DataSource in the BW system that was replicated into the APO system.  Question is, does it makes any difference in terms of data and efficiency of which DataSource I use?
    Pl. help.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    Hi,
    i)
        1).Through the Data load from Datasource to Infocube,
          a).we cannot get the detaild reports(additional functionality).
          b).summarised data
          c).performence issues will arise.
       2).Throuch the Data load from DSO to Infocube,
         a). you can get the detaild reports.
         b).you can maintain the delta records.
    ii).It doesnot make any difference in terms of data and efficiency of which DataSource you used.it have the same functionality  in   APO system and BW system.

  • Question about DataSource

    Hi,
    when i read the JDBC 3.0 specification, i found that there should be a set of
    properties and a set of "getter" and "setter" methods such as "getServerName" in the interface DataSource.However, i could not find these fields and methods in the java 1.4.0_01 api doc.there are only a few methods and no fields in the interface. Can anybody be kind enough to tell why? thanks in advance.
    simeon shi

    The getter and setter methods are specific to the DataSource implementer.
    For example a Microsoft SQL Datasource may have a setServer, setPort and setMicrosoftOnly setter whereas a MySQL Datasource my have setServerName, setTCPPort and some other MySQL only setters (and getters). They are kind of like beans (technicly they are beans) in which the setter and getter methods are treated like properties.
    The next question that usually comes to mind is "How do I use this then? It is no longer generic if my app needs to know the specific properties of the DataSource?"
    Datasources are usually used in J2EE applications which typcially have a configuration file that you would put the name of the DataSource Class and the name and values of each property for that DataSource (They are treated like Java Beans). Again, these properties are vendor specific.
    A good way to use a DataSource in a standalone application is to use the DBCP library in the Jakarta-Commons project. Its a nice DataBase Connection Pool library. Tomcat 4.1 and forward seems to use this library over Tyrex.

  • A Question Related to Dimension Hierarchy

    Hi All,
    While going through some hierarchies, i found that some columns were associated with the levels in hierarchy but these columns were not part of level keys.
    I want to know that what is difference between the result when columns that are not level keys are associated with a logical level and when such columns are not associated with a logical level ?
    Does such columns affect the result when selected in BI Answer?
    For exp -
    Suppose i have below time dimension hierarchy -
    Time
    ->Grand Total Level 0
    ---> Year Level1
    Year (Level Key)
    Year Start Date
    Year End Date
    ---> QuarterLevel2
    Quarter(Level Key)
    Quarter Start Date
    Quarter End Date
    ---> MonthLevel3
    Month(Level Key)
    Month Start Date
    Month End Date
    ---> Day Level4
    Day (Level Key)
    Day Start Date
    Day End Date
    These start date/end date columns are not part of level keys.
    The same thing i have observed in other hierarchies too.
    I want to know that what would happen, if these columns are not present at these levels?
    So When should we associate columns those are not part of level key to levels and when we should not associate ?
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Hi ,
    The non key columns used in each of the levels help in faster retireval for that aggregate level .
    If you look closely at these columns you will find these to be unique ,now having said that another point is that these levels are also used for aggreagation
    as we all know.
    For ex at the month level the key identifies all the unique moths but if data has to be shown for one particualr month then with the start momth date and end month date the retrieval would be still better :)

  • Performance Question on Time dimension.

    Hi all,
    I have a cube with a date dimension, which represents a snapshot date for open orders on the system ( 5 other dimensions apart from this one ) - this is updated daily.
    Should I:
    (1) build all dates for the foreseeable future
    (2) add each new snapshot date in day by day.
    Each seems to have pros & cons, 1 doesnt need to restructure every dimension build, but the calculation seems to take longer, 2 seems to restructure the outline every time which takes longer but the calculation is quicker.
    I'd value anyone's thoughts or experience on this.
    Essbase 11.1.1 on redhat LINUX.
    Thanks

    Why not just build the dimension (every two years?) and incorporate a defrag routine in your data load -- I'm guessing that something is fragmenting your db although a sparse restructure shouldn't be fixing that?
    This would be easy to test -- try the first approach and look at PAG file size, then try the second and look at the same. Again, a sparse restructure causes Essbase to rewrite the .IND file -- the .PAG file just gets added to as new sparse member data comes in. That should be the same behavior to .PAG whether the members exist or not -- Essbase doesn't create or rewrite to existing blocks until there's data.
    Or is it possible that you're using Intelligent Calc and Essbase is only calculating the dirty blocks? That sort-of, kind-of makes sense although I have to wonder why the number of dirty blocks would be different between the two approaches.

  • Question about extending dimension and fact tables

    We have our data warehouse completely loaded with several years of historical data. We now want to extend one of our dimension tables by performing a type 1 customization to add an additional column to that dimension table.
    Is there a way for the ETL to update all of the historical records in the dimension table by filling in the data for the new column? Assume that we made the necessary changes in the database and updated the ETL mapping accordingly. We want to avoid having to truncate the table or doing a full load again -- even just for that table and the corresponding facts.

    Remove the last refresh date for the table in the DAC repository...that will force an ujpdate of the whole table without you needing to reload everything.
    Oh yeah and you're in the wrong forum: Business Intelligence Applications

  • Newbie Question: How Freeze Dimension Settings work?

    Dear all:
    For some reason, I couldn't figure out how "Freeze Dimension Settings" of dynamic template work on overriding members. I looked into both row and column EVEXP function and in the data region EVGTS, and none of the Current View column under Freeze Dimension Settings was ever selected. 
    Can someone clue me out? Thanks a bunch!
    Sincerely,
    Brian

    Hi,
         The "Freeze dimension section" is getting all the dimension values from CV. This information is used into "Expansion Settings" for the Member definition (using VLOOKUP function - freeze dimension is view as an array of dimension and values and the value is taken according with the dimension selected into Dimension field).
    Hope this can help you to understand better how dynamic templates is built.

  • Question about creation dimension items

    It is possible to load items from a dimension in the logical layer?
    Like this : I have a dimension of Vehicles and have this items:
    Cars
    Motorbikes
    Trucks
    Is possible to create in logical layer a new member of dimension like Cars/Motorbikes?
    In presentation layer I would see if I click on this dimension:
    Cars
    Motorbikes
    Trucks
    Cars/Motorbikes
    Thank you!!

    I assume you're using Portal 3.0. There's not much you can do to control the sorting in the category or perspective portlets. In Portal Release 2, the custom search portlet replaces the category/perspective portlets and gives you additional control, including control over the sort order if you don't have Oracle Text enabled.
    As a workaround, you could write a custom report or dynamic page using the content area views to display content anyway you want.

  • Question to Datasource transport

    I repulicate one datasource from R/3 to Production BI system using 3.5 version. However I used this datasource as 7.0 version, also created transformation based on the datasource in BI development system. Quesiton is if I transport request from BI development to BI production system, does this datasource with 3.5 verison will be changed automatically to 7.0 version? Are there any risk on it. Thanks!

    Once u migrated Datasource to 7.0 in Dev, after transport it will appear as 7.0 datasource.. No need to migrate there in Production...
    in prod system, after replication datasource will have the inactive status..
    Now U have to transport same datasource from BI DEV to BI PRD... And this will overwrite the replicated inactive datasource

  • Quick question about movie dimensions

    I've got a movie that is 776 x 592 and encoded as H.264. The movie does not have an audio track. I want to cut this movie up and sync it up to a voice over file that I have as a WAV file. I want my end file to have the same dimensions (776 x 592) and hopefully not lose any quality in the video since it is a screen recording and a loss in quality will make any text appear blurry.
    So, can this be done in either Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro?
    PS - My first idea was to use iMovie but I quickly realized that iMovie converts all to DV and scales the video to DVD dimensions which is not what I want.

    First off, you've got to get out of the h.264 codec to something you can properly edit with. (Why in heavens name did you record in that?)
    Secondly you've got to edit a sequence preset to match your screen size.
    If you've got the drives to handle playing it back, I'd suggest 8-bit uncompressed. Or dvcpro50. Make sure you match the framerate. Is it progressive (probably!) or interlaced? Make sure you match that.
    Drop the file into compressor, set up your parameters and give it a shot. Check back in with any issues.
