Report level filter impact on non-merged dimension

Hi Experts,
I have a problem in Webi 3.1 sp4.
We have three dataproviders from same universe. two dataproviders are linked with merged dimensions and third one is from independent table which has only one value (not related to other two data providers).
Created report with one block(block1) contained objects from first two dataproviders. Object from third dataprovider is placed on report body above block1.
Everything working fine.
If we create a report level filter with detail objects from first two dataproviders, value from third dataprovider disappears.
I don't have problem if create filter at block level.
Please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Akshara...

That is a previous XI version. I meant within XI 3.1 - between Support Packages, is it a change from SP03 for example?
If it is (b/ween SP03 - Sp04 ) then you should log a support message

Display Report Level Filter value and Input Controls Value

Hi,
Please let me know how to display Report Level Filter value and Input COntrol values in the report.
I have 2 tabs in the WebI Report. The first tab has the summary details about the other tabs like reprot desc, prompt values, reprot filter values,etc.
In the 2nd tab I have the actual report which has input controls defined, prompt values and global level report filters.
Can anyone please tell me how to display the Report level filter values and the Input Control values in the first tab report.
For ex: Tab 2 has a Report level filter: Region = NA
I need to display in Tab 1 in as Region: NA
I used the function ReportFilterSummary but that is giving me other details, I want only the object name and the value.
Also how to dispaly the Input Control values in the tab 1.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for this issue.
Thanks

did you try
=ReportFilter([Year])
if you are making report filter over the year, it will return the value of the filter
by the way, the filter should be applied over all the report not to a specific block to be able to get the correct value
the Input control also considered as report filter, only if you're applying them on the level of the report, if you applying an input contron over a specific block or chart, you will not get the values for ReportFilter
good luck

Report level Filter

Hi All,
I Have small Requirement like i have created reportlevel filter (Reporting Date) if i need select any date it display their corresponding values now .
if select any date it display their corresponding values now. ok
but when ever i select Reporting Date(ALL Values) so i need to display the values of the last date values i.e(08/19/2014) date value how will achieve this
PLEASE URGENT REQUIREMENT.

Hi Saurabh,
Thanks for your reply but as per Requirement when report opens it will be in default filter value which will be as below
and when it is in the above value i need to display data in the table corresponding to the last date i.e (08/19/2014) and not sum of data for all the dates as it usually shows.
and regarding input control i can select a default date but the default date changes dynamically and we cant pick the last date i.e(08/19/2014) on the next day of refresh.........

OBIEE 11g: Non conformed dimension filter

Hi,
I have two fact tables and some confromed and non conformed dimensions between the fact tabels.
The hiearchies being built and proper levels were set for the fact tables. The measures of the fact were set to the total level of the non confromed dimension tables.
The fact also hold some non aggregated columns (baseline columns), all the base line columns where moved to a logical dim table.
The report involves both the fact tables, conformed and non conformed dimension columns.
When we built the report with all these columns the report is showing fine. But when we add the filter with the non conformed dimension the report is throwing some error.
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

The above functionality was working fine with OBIEE 10g and have implemented it many times before.
There is one patch available for this issue but it is available only for windows 32 bit enironment.
Patch details
Patch 14210864: OBIEE 11G: CONFORMING DIMENSION SETTINGS FROM 10G NOT WORKING IN 11G
Can anyone give some suggestion or workaround? I can't do any change in Datamodel.
Thanks,

Hi Vinod,
In OBIEE 10g, we are running into similar error when we add filter from non conformed dimensions in a report, so can you please share patch download details like where to download or if we have to raise a SR for the Patch 14210864.
Thanks in Advance!!

Filters on non-conforming dimensions when fetching data from multiple facts

Hi,
I would like to confirm my understanding about how OBI fetches data from multiple facts. I have set up the BMM layer. Through Answers I am getting data from multiple facts as expected. However, is it necessary to base filters only on the conforming dimensions? If I do so, I am getting the correct data. But if I filter data on non-conforming dimensions, then I am getting more data which I am not expecting.
Suppose, Fact1, Fact2 and Fact3 share a CommonDim dimension. If I have a filter on CommonDim, then the filter is used on the three fact tables. However, if I filter data based on Fact1's DimTwo which is not shared by Fact2 and Fact3 and I have measurements from all the fact tables, then from the SQL generated, it seems that OBI is fecting all data from Fact2 and Fact3 and data from Fact1 where DimTwo = 'SomeValue'. Then it seems to be merging the data from the three result sets.
Is this expected, esp. a scenario where a filter is based on a non-conforming dimension (DimTwo in the example)? Have I missed anything? What do I need to do, if I want to return rows from Fact1 based on DimTwo's filter and then if there is data on Fact2 and Fact3 based on the value in CommonDim corresponding to DimTwo's filter?
Please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Manoj.

Hi
The problem you describe is similar to mine (I wrote several threads ago).
That is, if there is a non-conformed dimension in a report then the column from the fact table which is not connected with those non-conformed dimensions containes zeros or blanks.
Was this problem solved? I didn't quite catch one of previuos messages... If you can please repeat it more detailed.
What I tried to do is to set Total level in the Content tab (LTS properties). In this example - I could set Total level to JOBS in the plan type dimension. But it didn't help.
So if you know what to do then please describe it here...

#Multivalue error with merged dimension

Hello Experts,
I have a report which has two queries 1 and 2. Query 1 has Year,Month,DB,UserID and NOQ(measure) obejcts. Query 2 has User ID and Username Objects.
The requirement is to display Username along with UserID and other objects in Query 1.
I have merged UserID from both queries and the merged object is named as "LANID" and non merged dimensions are created as Detail Objects for year month and DB with associated dimension as LANID.
If I drag year-detail,month-detail,DB-detail,UserID (from LANID) and Username,I get #MULTIVALUE error in month column for User IDs which have multiple records for the same year,different months and same DB.
I came across a similar thread,http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=856502 where Dave Rathbun mentions that merged dimensions work only where there is unique record or same level of granularity between two dataproviders which is not the case here.
Request you to share any workarounds (asap) to achieve this.
Thanks,
Sowrabha

Is there some sort of aggregation occurring that's causing multiple values for one row?
Check the table settings and select "avoid duplicate row aggregation" and see if that helps.
Also, with merged dimensions when you're missing individual query objects with merged objects, dimensional context becomes unknown or the wrong context is assumed, so you may be able to clear up the error by adding in a dimensional context (such as [Month-Detail] In ([User ID]).
I hope that helps,
Carly

Merged dimensions

hi
I have made a report that is using 2 querys designed this way:
query 1: object 1, indicator1
query 2: object 1, object 2 -->object 7,indicator1
in my repot the object 1 is the object that is merged.
I ve made an object X in the report that uses some objects from query 2.
I ve also made an object Y that uses object X, object and indicator 1 from query 1 but when I design my table , I ve a serious problem.
I have a #datasynch error in all cells .
I ve tried to make a new Dimensions of type information for all the dimesions that are in query 2 but not in query one to resolve this issue.
this idea gives me a better result but not the best: i have many multi values . this returns to that the dimension that is commun to both of he querys is a dimension that have been defined in the universe that Im using and that this dimension is a Grouping of an other company.
any idea?? thank you

query 1: object 1, indicator1
query 2: object 1, object 2 -->object 7,indicator2
you can not include indicator1 with any other none merged dimension
simple answer, wats the relation in your business between the indicator1 and object2, there is no relation, so that indicator1, can only be used when you put merged dimension with all objects , or with objects which exist in both queries,
but once there is an extra objects exist in query2 and not exist in query1, you can not add measures from query1 to the reprot, it will gives you #[DATASYNCH] or something like that.
good luck

Webi report looses merge dimension and block filter during Universe Change

Hi All,
I have come across a weird behavior in BOXI 3.1 SP3. Please find below the details for the same:
1. I have a report which has a varible built on formula using a merged dimension.
2. When i migrate the report from development to acceptance environment and change the universe from report properties, formula using merged dimension object gets corrupt.
3. Same issue is available with block level filter also.
Please let me know if there is a solution for this and this looks to be a bug in the BOXI tool.
Please let me know if I need to provide additional details.
Regards,
Chetan Dodiya

Greetings,
I am not sure what you mean by changing the universe from report properties. Do you mean that you edit the report and go to the Query Panel and change the universe from there?
If this is your workflow, then this is not a product defect. You will have to revalidate your formulas. As the Merged dimensions will be recreated.
Normally when migrating from one test to dev and dev to Prod, the only change should be the connection that points to the correct database. The connection of your universe should be the only thing that change.
Please note that the connection name remane the same. But you edit the connection and change the database to which your universe is pointing to.
Provided that the tables name and columns name are identical between your different environment, there should not be any issue.

BOXIR2 FP4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Incorrect data

Issue: BOXIR2 FP 4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Max value of an object from second query is displayed in the report even when the formula is based on the object from the first Query.
Data displays properly on BOXIR2 SP2.
Steps to reproduce.
1.Use u2018Island Resort Marketingu2019 Universe to create a WebI report.
2. Create a Query with objects u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/1/2001 an Run the query.
3. Add a second Query with the same objects i.e. u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/12/2001.
4. Create a report variable MaxDate using the syntax "=Max([Query 1].[Reservation Date]) In Report"
5. Use the objects u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019, u2018Future guests Query 2u2019 and u2018MaxDateu2019 variable to create a table in the report.
You will find the Maxdate column displays Max date values of u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019 instead of u2018Reservation Date Query 1u2019.
Could you please advice me on this issue.

Hi Hiteshwar,
MaxDate variable returns a maximum of Reservation date from Query 1 i.e. 1/15/01 which is correct. If you put that variable separately it will display that date correctly but you are grouping it along with objects from the query2 thatu2019s why it is displaying correct value for Query 2 where it finds 1/15/01, but for other values WEBI canu2019t group this value as it refers its formula which contains Query 1 reservation date.
Hence we canu2019t say it is displaying values from Query 2 it is taking values from Query1 itself for 1/15/2001 and for remaining values it is taking non matching values from Query 2 with which it is grouping.
If you put that variable with objects from Query1 it wonu2019t display 1/15/01 but all values reservation date from query 1 contains because it is grouping based on reservation date though it is single max value.
Even when you write "=Max(Query 2.Reservation Date) formula and use it with objects from query 1 though it contains so many values it matches (Groups) only the values from reservation date from Query 1.and displays only those values i.e. 1/1/2001 and 1/15/01.
MaxDate returns 1/15/01 as Maximum Date value from Query 1 but Query 2 contains value far more greater than 1/15/01 hense that will be more incorrect data if WEBI displays maxdate as 1/15/01 along with Query 2 objects.
Here we can avoid this behavior by Custom SQL but MaxDate is a report level variable hence we canu2019t edit SQL.
If your data contains some duplicate values WEBI will repeat MaxDate value like
Reservation date     Restaurant           Future_Guests    Total Guests
1/1/01                          ABC                         3                   3
1/15/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
1/16/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
By default, WEBI Groups Total Guests based on the Restaurant and Reservation Date, but if we want we can group those values based only on Restaurant which will duplicate Total Guest values for Restaurant XYZ. But you report contains only one dimension with all unique Values we canu2019t group those.
I hope this is clear.
Thanksu2026

Report on non conformed dimension

Hi All,
I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.5
We have 2 facts and 4 dimensions out of which only 1 dimension is conformed. We have a report requirement of using the conformed dimension and filtering based on 2 non conformed dimensions and include the measure from both the facts. When the report is created it is throwing error as
"None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request"
for eg : Let say
F1 --> d1,d2
F2 --> d1,d3,d4
the report has d1.c1,d2.c2,d3.c3,F1.M1,F2.M2 and filter by d2.c2 and d3.c3
Thanks in advance.

Check out patch (bug# 11850704)
Also have you set the level for the non conforming dimension at the highest level of granularity

Filter and non-conforming dimensions

I have a model design which includes three fact tables with non-conforming dimensions. This causes BI to create multiple queries for a report and finally bring the results together using a full outer join at the end. When I attempt to filter on a field from one of the non-conforming dimensions, that filter is not applied at the full outer join step but during an earlier step related to the chosen filter field. This results in more data returning then desired. I need to move the filter to the full outer join step. Here are two sub-optimal methods that I have found to work around the issue.
1. Build the logical query in answers. Then, wrap that query with an outer query and apply the filter to the outer query.
2. Build a minus query in answers that removes the records you don't want to see.
I have seen this issue discussed in other threads, but I haven't found a good solution. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thank you,

Here is a decent description of the problem
http://siebel.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/siebel-analytics-l/two-fact-tables-and-nonconforming-dimensions-3297052
and this is a better solution than the two I stated above. However, even this solution is not going to be very intuitive for the users
http://siebel.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/siebel-analytics-l/two-fact-tables-and-nonconforming-dimensions-3298529

i know this is a bit old thread but thought it might be helpful to someone who came across the same issue...
when using Degener@teDimen$ion ( this is !nner joned to FACT tables in BMM) and if any of the dimensions {other than theDegener@teDimen$ion (Let us say Dim X) } have an ()uter join to any of the fact tables, and you were doing your analysis using Degener@teDimen$ion, Dim X, Measure value you will face the following issues.
when filtering the analysis on the ()uter join dimension ( Dim X), the IN filter will not work. Reason is that the filter is getting applied to both the Dimension and FACT tables and the values that exist in Dimension Dim X but not in FACT table wont show up.
The above issue can be fixed by changing the join between the fact and Degener@teDimen$ion from inner to outer.
Please mark if you found this helpful.

Can't subtotal on measure variables from Query 2 in merge dimension report

I use a query identifying customers (Query1.HH_ID) sold by each salesperson. A second query identifies a subset of those customers who are longtime customers. I merge these queries using the dimension, HH_ID. I project Query1.HH_ID onto the report and create a variable via =If([Query2].[HH_count]=1;1;0) to get a measure which is either 1 or 0 depending on whether a record is retrieved from Query2 with a value for Query2.HH_ID that matches Query1.HH_ID. The report is fine at the detail level, but when I insert a break and try to subtotal the measures, the variable from Query 2 produces a subtotal of 0 even though I can see a mixture of detail records with 1s and 0s. It appears that one cannot subtotal on measures from Query2 in a merged dimension report, or at least not if the merged dimension is not projected onto the report but rather only the dimension from Query1. Is this a known principle?

Hi Michael,
I think the issue is that they Query2.HH_Count is being summed first. So if you have a mixture of values, say
rownumber, value
1,1
2,0
3,1,
4,0
you will get 0 as your HH_count will equal 2.
Try
=If(Query2.HH_count>=1;1;0)
Alternatively try
=If(Average(Query2.HH_count)=1;1;0)
Hope this helps

Query level filter not working in Webi report

Hi All,
I am using BOXI R3.1 (SP3), m facing one problem when refreshing Webi report on daily basis. I am using three query level filter as a prompt, but i checked one filter is not working then i need to reapply this filter and rest 2 filter is working fine.
Can anyone suggest me why problem is coming?
Regards,

Hi,
Prompts are interactive, and come from the query panel. Filters are not interactive, and are set on the report or block. There are also input controls, which are interactive filters
1. Select the universe in the list of universes to open the Query Panel.
2. Drag the Year object to the Result Objects pane.
3. Drag the Number of Guests object to the Query Filters pane and create a report filter that restricts Number of Guests to greater than n.
4. Click Combined Query.
The Combined Query pane appears in the bottom left of the Query panel with the two queries joined by UNION.
5. Click on the second query and remove the Year and Number of Guests objects.
6. Drag the Reservation Year object to the Result Objects pane.
7. Drag the Future Guests object to the Query Filters pane and create a report filter that restricts the future guests to greater than n.
8. Click Run Query.
