Referencing two fact keys from one dimension using Dim.Key = Fact.Key1 OR Fact.Key2 possible ?

Hi all
I need your help for an approach to the following problem. Lets say that i have the following dataset
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201301
2.500
201307
201304
600
201307
201305
900
201307
201306
4.000
201307
201307
500.000
201308
201305
500
201308
201307
400
201308
201306
300
201308
201308
400.000
201309
201307
300
201309
201302
500
201309
201309
100.000
201310
201305
400
201310
201309
50.000
201310
201310
200.000
In my cube i want the user to select the Accountmonth from one time dimension, but i want some logic to also apply for the ActivityMonth. For one measure if I for example select 201307 i'll get this amount
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201301
2.500
201307
201304
600
201307
201305
900
201307
201306
4.000
201307
201307
500.000
This is easy - Accountmonth dimension is related to AccountMonth column in the fact table. Now i also need another measure, where the month selected needs to be meet for both accounting and activity month. This is also easy, as i can just reference both
columns in the fact table. Result in this case is then only one row:
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201307
500.000
Now the tricky part comes when I start to select more months, because the amount i need is where month combinations are shared, so if i for example choose 201307, 201308 and 201309 i don't just want
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201307
500.000
201308
201308
400.000
201309
201309
100.000
I actually want the amount from which the months is in either accounting or activity, like this
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201307
500.000
201308
201307
400
201308
201308
400.000
201309
201307
300
201309
201309
100.000
I know how to solve it either by having two time dimensions or using MDX, but user should only have to select from one time dimension. So far, solving it using Non-empty/existing in MDX is not performing fast enough. Feedback will be appreaciated if you
have an idea of how to solve this.

Multiple 'logical joins' between a fact table and one dimension table

It appears that one cannot create multiple ‘logical joins’ between a fact table and one dimension table in OBIEE using the Oracle BI Administration Tool. For example, considering a Business Model with a dimension table TIMES and a fact table FACT containing START_TIME and END_TIME, we would like to create separate logical joins from FACT to TIMES for the START_TIMEs and END_TIMEs? Obviously, the underlying foreign keys can be created, but as far as I can tell the Oracle BI Administration Tool doesn’t support this. The workaround would be to replicate the TIMES table, but that’s ugly.
I seek an alternative approach.

Try this. Create an two aliases for the TIMES dimension (Start & End) in the Physical Layer and then remove foreign key to the "Parent" Times dimension. Create the Foreign Key in the Physical Layer to the new aliases and then create the complex joins in the BMM Layer to the new aliases as well. This will allow you to present both dates within the same table in the Presentation Layer. Not the most elegant solution but it works.

I created two Aperture libraries from one large library. Some of the photos in library

I created two Aperture libraries from one large library. Some of the photos I want to keep in library #2 are in the trash of library #1. If I empty the trash of library #1, will it affect the same photos that were moved to library #2? I moved over 2,000 photos to create library #2. Their names are showing in the trash of library #1.

Are your images referenced or managed? If your partial libraries are referencing the same original files as the library you exported them from, be careful. Deleting the orignal on one library #1can delete it from the library #2. But if your originals are managed by Aperture inside the Aperture library, you can delete them.
I moved over 2,000 photos to create library #2. Their names are showing in the trash of library #1.
If you are not sure about referenced or managed, select one of the images you want to keep in the library where they are not in the Trash, then use the command "File > Show in Finder". If you can reveal them in the Finder, they are referenced and probably are shared between your libraries.
Or turn on "badge referenced files" in the Preferences > Appearance settings. Then your referenced images will show arrow badges.

How to sort two different hierarchies in one dimension

Does anyone know of a way to sort two different hierarchies in one dimension and still make drilling work correctly? We have two hierarchies in our item dimension; one called category and the other origin. Simplified, it looks like this:
CATEGORY
Hardware (100)
..PCs (100.100)
....PC 1
....PC 2
....PC 3
..Monitors (100.200)
....Monitor 1
....Monitor 2
....Monitor 3
Software (200)
..Big (200.100)
....ERP package
....CRM package
..Small (200.200)
....Solitaire
....Mine Sweeper
ORIGIN
Vendor A (10)
..Site A1 (10.10)
....ERP package
..Site A2 (10.20)
....PC 1
....Monitor 3
Vendor B (20)
..Site B1 (20.10)
....PC 2
....PC 3
....Monitor 1
....Monitor 2
....Solitaire
....Mine Sweeper
..Site B2 (20.20)
....CRM package
We have numeric codes at each level above item which I represents the sort order (the number in parentheses at each level), and the items themselves should be sorted according to item number. I have implemented this (level code/item number) as an attribute in AWM making this the default sort order. However, as item is the lowest level in each hierarchy, I have only been able to list the items under the correct level in one hierarchy. As soon as I drill using the other hierarchy, the levels above item are sorted correctly, but the items appear at very odd places...
The AWM documentation states that if default order is not selected on any attribute, hierarchies are sorted in the order they are created. Is there a way to control this order?
Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
thank you for your answer. Yes, now I also find the class CL_SALV_WD_MULTI_CELL_EDITOR which could be used to set different UIE in one cell. But it is quite limited, just the following UIE could be used
- LinkToAction
- LinkToURL
- FileDownload
- Button

How to copy data for certain member from one dimension to another dimension

Dear ,
I want to copy data for certain member ("511102") from one dimension to another combinations of dimensions ,
I have the following combinations for "511102" :
_("Budget2012","FY12","Working.V01","SAR","BegBalance","1011","G_10","custom Grades")_
I want to copy "511102" to "salary"
-salary have the following dimensions :
_("Budget2012","FY12","Working.V01","SAR","BegBalance","General group","All grades","General Employees")_
, I don't know if I could do it by datacopy of cross dimensional , But I don't HOW >>>
Thanks in advance

FIX("Budget2012","FY12","Working.V01","SAR","BegBalance","General group","All grades","General Employees")
"salary"="511102"->"1011"->"G_10"->"custom Grades";
ENDFIX
or
FIX("Budget2012","FY12","Working.V01","SAR","BegBalance")
DATACOPY "511102"->"1011"->"G_10"->"custom Grades" to "salary"->"General group"->"All grades"->"General Employees";
ENDFIX
Key thing in datacopy is to place the dimensions in cross dimension in the same order. Both sides (before and after "TO") should have equal number of dimension members specified.

Data Load into two data targest from one DataSource

Hi,
I want to load data into two data targest from one DataSource. I did full load, then Initialization & delta settings for that DataSource. But I want to load data into one data target using delta InfoPackage & into 2nd data target using Full Load InfoPackage. Can I schedule execution of these 2 infopackges one delta & 2nd Full load InfoPackage for the same DataSource simaltaneously?
Regards,
Pradip

Hi,
In BI, You can achieve this. As thorugh info package, you laod data till PSA only. Then it is being loaded to other data targets.
Create two DTPs, one with FULL load and another one with Detla Load. It will work.
In R/3 Side, As sandeep has mentioned , there might be possibility that if you run full load after delta , your delta may get corrupt. i am not sure about that , but there is a possibility.

How to delete the members in one dimension use the maxl script

i have question that i want to delete the members in one dimension useing the maxl script, but i do not know how to do it. can the maxl delete the members in one dimension? if can, please provide an sample script, thank you so mcuh.

MaxL does not have commands to alter an outline directly, except the reset command which can delete all dimensions but not members selectively. The best you could do would be to run a rules file (import dimensions) using a file that contains the members you want to keepload rule for the dimension. As typical the warning is to test this first before you do it on a production database

One dimension used twice in a cube

I have one dimension, but it has two meanings. How can i use the same dimension twice in the same cube as it was two separate dimension?
Example:
There is dimension "Region". The fact table has two keys. First key means - "region of birth", and second "region of living". So one dimension has two meanings.
I tried put the same dimension twice with two different aliases in one cube. OEM shows such cube as valid, but querrying it through OLAP API, or building analytic workspace based on this cube is impossible (error ORA-1007).
The only workaround i see is to build two separate but identical dimensions.The bad side of this is that i have to create two separate but identical tables of data for those dimensions (i can't create two levels from the same column).

i work with Oracle9iR2

i did the same on Oracle9iR2 with OEM 9.2.0.1.0.
Creating the cube with two aliases for one dimension was ok.
But creating MOLAP cube from that source cube using AWM was impossible .
Also querrying that cube (the one created in OEM) for example through Discoverer or Excel is imposible.
I searched forums on that question, and some people had the same problem, but no answer.

Search help from one field used to populate another on subscreen.

I have a subscreen with 2 fields; Plant & Batch.   Search help MCH1F displays batches for plants. When a batch for a plant is selected in the search help for the batch field, I want to populate the plant field in addition to the batch. The batch number comes back from the search help selection, but I need to get the plant associated with that batch just selected and populate the subscreen plant field. SET/GET doesn't work either in the screen field setup or abap flow logic.   Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dropping business key from existing dimension

A business key needs to be removed from an existing dimension in a data warehouse.
I couldnt locate any documentation regarding this topic, so please let me know of any links to documentation if you know of any.
Im needing to know if this can be done, or will I need to create another dimension (with correct keys), transfer data,
then swap dimensions in the mapping.
Thanks for any input.

I am sure th business key would be a part of the constaint with which u load the data into the table. So its better u make an analysis of how the data is going to affect the load before u make the change.either create a new one with the correct keys test it for the data and then swap the data or take the existing table, make the changes ,test it in DE?V/SIT and once u r confident it is not affecting the load u can move it to quality and production.

How to Allocate Costs from One Dimension to Another

I am attempting allocate costs from the department to the Production line within a location.
I have 8 dimensions in my BSO Essbase cube.
The dimensions are as follows.
Accounts
Period
Scenario
Version
Years
Location
Department
Product
What I need to do is as follows.
i.e.
Department 100 = $1,000 UDA = Variable Expense
Department 100 = $2,000 UDA = Fixed Expense
Line 1 = 30% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $300
Line 2 = 25% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $250
Line 3 = 45% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $450
Sum of Lines = $1,000 where UDA = Variable Expense
Line 1 = 10% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $200
Line 2 = 15% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $300
Line 3 = 75% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $1,500
Sum of Lines = $2,000 where UDA = Fixed Expense
And of course my situation is much more complex as the % will change with each scenario, period, versions, department combination.
I have created distribution % accounts within the accounts dimension to distribute between my 3 main production lines. Which is within the alternate dimension of the Location dimension.
I am on Essbase 9.2.0.3, Win 32 bit.
Can someone suggest how to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

How do I copy a dbsequence key from one entity to another

using the SRDEMO database as an exemple. I created a new table called BOOK. Book is a kind of product. THe primary key of book is the primary key of product. In jdev I created a new updatable entity based on book and a view combining product and book. The product ID gets generated by a trigger, as currently defined in srdemo db. When I run my view in the tester, the product id shows with a negative number, which is the expected behavior for dbsequence ID. The book ID is blank, which is also expected since its value must be copied from the product ID. Book ID is of type NUMBER. So I created a new create method in my viewImpl:
protected void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
System.out.println("in create prodview...");
Number no=this.getProdId().getSequenceNumber(); // get the generated prodid from the sequence
System.out.println("BookId="+no);
this.setBookId(no); // initialise book id with product id
Now when I run the tester I see the same negative number for productID and BookID, as expected. But when I commit my change I get a ORA-02291 on BookID. How do I get BookID initialize with the actual productID ? I'm using jdev 10.1.3.3

How about this?
oracle.jbo.server.SequenceImpl sequence = new oracle.jbo.server.SequenceImpl("<Sequence_Name>(Eg. BOOK_ID_SEQ)", getDBTransaction()); // Name of the sequence in DB that generates your Book ID
        if(sequence != null) {
          int no = sequence.getSequenceNumber().intValue();
          System.out.println("BookId="+no);
          this.setBookId(no); // initialise book id with product id
       }-Arun

Two purchase orders from one purchase requisition

Hi experts,
i'm getting this strange behavior. How is possible to create 2 purchase orders from one purchase requisition ??
If i look to sales order flow i see two purchase orders.
Thank you.

Hello Dan M,
When u enter the material and qty in Item the system might be doing Availability check. Then u might be going to schedule line and then "check mark on "Fix qty/date". Here once again the system might be doing Availability check and then u press "Dely proposal".
I suggest u to check the Purchase Requisition Item No. (the field next to Purchase Requisition No.). Keep watch here after every step u perform. Watch before and after u press every button.
Do carefully analysis step by step u will get the reason.
Any thing required write on the forum.
Thanks & regards,
