Security, Consistency Check, Physical Model

Hi experts,
just THREE questions:
1- the following object-level security configurations: "Assign users to a web catalog group" and "Create a Web catalog group" could be done in the BI Administration Tool?
2- a consistency check can be performed over a selection of multiple dimension hierarchies?
3- is it possible modify the physical model of a repository for add a derived metric column, and define this column as a value like "dollar divided by units"?
I think it's possible only through database manipulation and not Administration Tool. Is it right???
Thanks a lot.

You can do it in BMM layer ..as a logical column without manipulating DB.

Error BM311 during Model Consistency Check in APO

Hi APO Experts
I find error BM311 - Units of different dimensions cannot be converted during Model Consistency Check in APO.
How can I get to know the code or Unit of Measure, where the inconsistency is there to rectify?
Please suggest.
Thank you.

Check constraint generation in physical model in 3.1.1.

My question: Is it possible to set Use Domain Constraints ticked as default (or another way to get them in DDL) if the Domain with Check constraint is set for the column. I assume it's logical as if I bind a column to the domain then use the domain constraint as default policy. It's not a big deal if you have a few but in my case I do re-modelling just for physical model level and I have tens column in the tables based on a domain. So, I have first to set the domain as a column type and then in another screen tick Use Domain Constraints
Thank you

Hi,
Is it possible to set Use Domain Constraints ticked as default (or another way to get them in DDL) if the Domain with Check constraint is set for the column.No it's not possible I logged bug for that.
So, I have first to set the domain as a column type How do you set domain as data type? Do you have more than one columns using the same domain? In such cases you can use domain dialog (in the browser) and "Used in" page in order to assign domain to several columns/attributes at once.
You can use the script below to set use domain constraints on columns that use domain as data type
Philip
var model;
tables = model.getTableSet().toArray();
for (var t = 0; t<tables.length;t++){
table = tables[t];
columns = table.getElements();
for (var i = 0; i < columns.length; i++) {
     column = columns;
     if(column.getUse() == 0 && column.getDomain()!=null){
          if(!column.getUseDomainConstraints()){
               column.setUseDomainConstraints(true);
               table.setDirty(true);

Frequency of Model Consistency Check

Whats should be the ideal frequency of taking a model consistency check considering the fact that the check taken a long tim for execution.

Hi there.
You should run the cons_check after every major change in master data and prior to your SNP planning run. So the answer really depends on whether or not:
a) Your data model remains consistent (in which case you will only need to check after each update)
b) You do Monthly or Weekly SNP planning runs. (in which case you will need to do it weekly or monthly)

Exchange 2010 "event id 403/401 The physical consistency check" Backups does not work...Critical!!

Hi,
At this moment our backups does not work. We have two error on the event viewer;

Model Consistency Check

We have run the model consistency check (SCM 4.1), but experienced the following problem:
If the products are flagged for deletion at client level (the highest level) the system pops-up a warning: <i>"Product X flagged for deletion, but not in location Y".</i>
As far as I know, if we flag products for deletion at client level the lower levels will be flagged automatically. Right?

That was a bug. We installed OSS note 1039639 and the problem was solved.

Importance of Global Consistency check

Hello,
I have always checked my rpd for global consistency without knowing the actual meaning behind it. But last night I created a logical column with the following expression:
max(VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION......))
basically i created an aggregation over a logical column that obtains its value from session variable. I know that if we need to use a column as an aggregation column we should use the aggregation tab in the column properties. When we choose an aggregation it disables the editable column formula field.
I put the above formula which violates the rule. The result is perfect so long as I don't check for global consistency. It throws an error that looks something like this:
[38083] The Attribute 'Acceptance Rate Target' defines a measure using an obsolete method.
The question is.. what is the significance of global consistency check.. and what is the consistency criteria.. and is it ok to save the rpd without checking for global consistency (yes this does not cause the BI server to crash when trying to start)
Thanks

First, forget about the variable approach.
Now you need to do the following steps:
1) Import the table to the physical layer
2) Create logical table in existing Business Model in BMM layer with the imported table as logical table source
3) Create another logical table in existing Business Model in BMM layer with the imported table as logical table source
4) Create complex join between both table, now you will get one logical dimension table and one logical fact table
5) In the logical fact table you need to select the column ("Target") and add an aggregation rule, like MAX or MIN
6) Assuming you have a hierarchy for every dimension in your BMM layer, you need to set the logical levels of the new measure to the Grand Total Level of each dimension hierarchy.
By doing this, you get a "level based measure", for more info: read this:
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/oracle-bi-ee-101332-level-based-measures-lbms/
By setting all logical levels to the grand total level, the measure will be "immune" for all dimensions used in your report.
So when you have a report like
Month__Actual___Target
The BI Server will create two queries:
select month, sum(sales) from calendar, sales_table where calendar.id = sales_table.calendar_id
and
select max(value) from target_table
The BI Server will then stitch both results together.

Repository Consistency Check 39008 "does not join"?

I'm using Administration Tool 11.1.1.6.0 with a Repository version of 318.
I have imported my star schema metadata from the database using an OCI connection. All the joins were included, so I can go to Physical->Fact Table->Physical Diagram->Object(s) and Direct Joins and it shows my fact table linked to all my dimension tables. I then clicked-and-dragged my schema to the Business layer. I created my dimension by right-clicking on my logical tables in the Business layer and choosing Create Logical Dimension -> Dimension with Level-Based Hierarchy. This worked for all the dimensions that had only one level (a base level and a grand total level), but resulted in some odd errors when done for dimensions with more than one level. I got around these errors by manually creating these dimensions, clicking-and-dragging the logical columns in, and setting up the keys.
Only now when I do I consistency check, I get three of the following warnings, one for each dimension that has more than one level:
WARNINGS:
Business Model [Business Model]:
[39008] Logical dimension table [Logical Table] has a source [Physical Table?] that does not join to any fact source.At least, I think it is referring to the Physical Table, but changing the name of the Physical Table doesn't change the error message, though changing the Logical Table name does, so I'm not really sure what it is referring to. Here is what one looks like precisely:
[39008] Logical dimension table Time has a source TIME that does not join to any fact source.Now, each of the three multi-level dimensions have a base level with a key that is present in the Fact Table. I can even right-click on the Fact Table on the Business Layer and go to Business Model Diagram or Physical Model Diagram and get a diagram of my fact table linked to all of its dimensions, including the three in question. Analysis made in OBIEE work so long as I don't use those three dimensions.
Does anybody have any idea what I'm missing here?

Thanks, it looks like the field for those three logical dimensions was left blank for some reason. So it was because the Logical Dimensions weren't joining to the Fact Table, rather than the Logical Tables?

Obiee 11g RPD consistency check error after upgrade

Hi,
got below error in RPD consistency check after upgrading from obiee 10g to obiee 11.1.1.6.
*ERRORS:
Business Model Core:

above is formula for logical column "Age" and data type for that is varchar in physical
few more erros similar to above.
how can I fix the issue? appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

HI,
As I said, Age has valid datatype in physical layer but datatype is showing as "Unknown" in logical layer after upgrade to 11g. many other columns got same issue just for this logical table. I rebuild the logical column mapped to physical sources but it didn't fix the issue.
I hope you understand the issue.
Thanks

Consistency check error 38011: Logical tables from multiple subject areas..

I received multiple 38011 errors when performing a consistency check after merging repositories:
For example:
Logical tables from multiple subject areas associated, OHRP and Enterprise Warehouse
(OHRP and Enterprise Warehouse refer to different business models)
I'm really not sure what this means, and Metalink and Google aren't turning up anything.
Thoughts?
-John

John,
Does it say anything about Assertion Failure? Also, this is straight up from help regarding import (through file menu) "Use this option when the objects you import are unrelated to objects already in the repository such as when the business model and physical layer objects do not exist. If an object of the same name and type exists, the import process overwrites the existing object with the new object. When you import objects from one repository into another, the repository from which you are importing must be consistent."
Sometimes Merge does bring unexpected (and unwanted results) - especially if there're presentation aliases, duplicate business models, or naming conflicts. If it's not too late, I suggest you use Import,rather than Merge, also, preferably starting with a new RPD file. This would enable you to bring items piece-by-piece and hopefully would allow you to isolate the problem.
Also, depending on the size - it's sometimes preferable to just reproduce missing part(s). I hope this is helpful.
Also, I forgot to say - the Import is deprecated and not supported. They suggest you use Project Extract and Merge. If Merge isn't working out for you and Import isn't an option - maybe you could try Project.

Windows Server 2012 - Backup failing with Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed

Hi
We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
i am stumped, any advice would be great!

Hi
Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:

How convert spaces in logical model to underscores in physical model

Hi,
in Oracle Designer we used spaces in logical model objects (entities, attributes, relations) which were automatically converted to underscores when the physical model was generated from the logical one. Is there any way how do this conversion in Data Modeler? So far I have been able to convert mixed case in logical model to uppercase in physical model (with the exception of foreign keys) but changing space to underscores still eludes me.
Why I think this is important: the logical model should use "normal" language if possible, i.e. spaces, mixed case etc. But the physical model should have uppercase only and definitely no spaces. Having objects in Oracle defined with spaces leads to many difficulties since any reference to the object must use "" around the name of the object...
Thanks
Jakub

Hi,
but the problems continues (even when the model is reduced to no entities at all!)
The error you reported (in engineering and import) cannot be reached if there are no entities and attributes - it's a specific error probably related to usage of distinct types that are removed from design.
You can use search functionality in order to find attributes/columns (logical/relational model) with incorrect data type definition based on distinct type.
And it's better to move to Data Modeler 4.0 (833).
So what to search (example is on logical model - it's the same for relational model - column):
1) Activate search window (CTRL-F when logical diagram is active, or Find icon), switch to advanced mode
2) for "Object type" Attribute:
- check "Data Type kind" line and put DT as search text
- check "Distinct type" line, don't put search text - it'll search for attributes without distinct type
- change the operand for expression from OR to AND
3) press "Find" button
If you find some attributes, then you need to decide what to do with them - to set data type or to delete them.
The same for columns in relational model.

Difference between OBIEE Logical Modelling and physical modelling

HI.
what is the difference between logical modeling (BMM) and physical modelling(Physical layer) in obiee admin tool
please narrate it in definition format
thank you
rakesh

Hi rakesh,
Administrator tool consists of 3 layers
Physcial layer:-It is typically first layer built in the repository.Contains objects representing the physical data sources to which the BI server submits queries.It may conatin multiple data sources.The common way is to import metadat from different databases.You can define joins after import if they are not defined.
Business model and mapping layer:-It is defined as business or logical models of data and specifies the mapping between the physical and business layers.This is where the physical schemas are simplified to form the basis for the end user.We can say data is seperated into facts and dimension tables
Presentation layer:-simplifies and organizes the business model to make it easy for users to understand and query
go through the user guides for all the definition and subject
Hope it helps you.my points?

Logical and Physical Models

Hi All,
I'm new to Designer. I need to produce a logical data model in Oracle Designer 10g. I have created a few tables in the RON and have used Design Editor to add these to a Server Model. I think this is giving me the physical model rather than the logical model.
Can you please tell me if I'm going about this the wrong way ? I need the logical model to confirm with the non-technical people before I produce the physical model for the techies.
Thanks

Hi,
John - yes I have already checked all this, all looks ok. Also, I'm only using the REPOS_MANAGER account for now so permissions should not be an issue.
Mark - when you say create an entity in the RON, I can create tables, how would I create an entity in the RON ? I can go to Diagrams in the RON and see my ERD.
When I installed the repository I do remember having to go to the SYS account to grant an execute on a package to the REPOS_MANAGER user because one of the REPOS_MANAGER packages required it.
Any direction would be appreciated ?
Thanks
BillyAh, but that IS the issue. You shouldn't use the repository owner account for your day to day work. Create another Oracle user and grant it privileges through the RAU. Then connect as that user to work in Designer. Oddly enough, the repository owner doesn't have the privileges that it needs - the privileges are stored in the repository, not database privileges.

Consistency check error in OBIEE 10g

Hi
I have the below error while doing consistency check.
I was trying to join two fact tables by complex join, but getting below error
NQSError:15009 Could not load navigate space for subject area
NQSError: 15009 Multiple paths exist to table Plans.Circular joins schemas not supported
Please suggest

If you have to join fact tables in physical, make sure your logical layer remains a star.
Either add both fact tables to one logical fact table source , or create two logical stars, where both facts are joined to all conformed dimensions.
Note: if both facts are not at exactly same granularity, your reports will show incorrect results most definitely. So avoid fact to fact joins.
