Show name field for two columns Fact Table joing by one Dimension

Hi all,
My question is about physical joins in Oracle BI EE.
Task is:
In a relational fact table "star" there is two columns Entity 1, Entity 2 and a table dimension Entity witch have two filds: ID and NAME. By loadind data fact table is filled with id for Entity 1 and Entity 2.
In a report made in Answers i need to show ID_Entity_1 NAME_Entity_1 ID_Entity_2 NAME_Entity_2
Question is: how to do physical join between two columns fact table and one dimension table entity so, that i can show name field in a report for both columns Entity 1, Entity 2.

You must Create an alias in the physical layer of your table dimEnsion and use it as a second dimension table.

Resource name field for target oracle table

Hi,
I want to build a generic interface that takes data from different similar structured flat files and loads to different target table (similar structure).
I thought I will use the resource name field for both source and target and use variables to determine the source and target names during runtime.
the problem is it runs fine at the source when i change the file names to load from but it fails at the target when i use variable to determine the target name.
Did anyone try this earlier? if yes, can you please help? The error I got was 911 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00911: invalid character
and the query generated was
insert into      SCHEMANAME.#PROJREP."v_generic_interface_target_name"
     COL1,
     COL2,
     COl3
select
     C1_COL1,
     C2_COL2,
     C3_COL3
from     STGSCHEMA.C$_0DEMO1

Hi,
Which KM you are using ?
Try to use #PROJREP.v_generic_interface_target_name into Resource name of the table in the data models.

WHERE clause creating a join for two or more tables

The CS3 Dreamweaver book says that the WHERE clause can
create a join for two or more tables. The join was created, but the
data is repeating. I have searched the web and this forum and have
not found the answer.
My Master page filters the recordset by Style No and when a
customer clicks on a particular style, it sends him to the Detail
page. All the records are showing from all tables on the detail
page from the Dynamic List, except they are showing multiple times
(ex. Size table has 4 sizes and Color table has 2 colors - my Size
Drop Down list is showing 8 options and my Color Drop Down List is
showing 8 options) I have a Master Page with a recordset pointing
to a Detail Page using the same recordset.
Master page works perfectly.
Master Recordset SQL:
SELECT products.itemID, products.category, products.styleno,
products.name, products.description, products.ourprice,
products.imageTH, products.image, coloroption.color,
sizeoption.size
FROM products, coloroption, sizeoption
WHERE category = 'chefcoats' AND
products.styleno=sizeoption.styleno AND
products.styleno=coloroption.styleno
GROUP BY products.styleno
ORDER BY styleno ASC
The Detail Recordset:
SELECT products.itemID, products.category, products.styleno,
products.name, products.description, products.ourprice,
products.imageTH, products.image, sizeoption.size,
coloroption.color
FROM products, sizeoption, coloroption
WHERE itemID=colname AND products.styleno=sizeoption.styleno
AND products.styleno=coloroption.styleno
I tried using the GROUP BY on the detail page, but then it
only showed one size and color from the dynamic drop down list. I
tried changing the field name "styleno" in the other tables to be
unique, however, I was using the table identifer. I tried using the
JOIN command instead of the WHERE clause and that didn't help
either.
On the detail page, the customer is supposed to click on the
Size box and see sizes XSM - 6XL ONLY ONE TIME. and then be able to
click on the Color option and see White, Black, Red ONE TIME.
Is this possible?
Thank you for giving your time to read this.!

Design patterns for updating a fact table

I have a fact table and about 10 dimensions.
One of these dimensions can be missing values, so the fact table row will link to an UNKNOWN value.
When the correct value is finally entered in the dimension table i want to update any associated fact rows.
Whats the most efficient way of doing this?

I know i have to use a lookup transformation ;-)
I wouldnt be at teh stage of even having a fact table if i didnt know that! I was looking for a design pattern, not the name of a shape!
The solution i went with was to take a hard line on any rows with unknown values. If when importing the data there are unknown values for two of the most important dimensions, those rows are not inserted into the fact table, but instead pushed to an ErrorLog
table.
Users run a report that shows what this table contains and if they really want those rows, they insert the correct dimension values and rerun the import, which will only import any rows not already in the fact table.
This way:
1. all sorting & filtering issues are resolved as there will be no unknown rows for the most important dimensions used in sorting and filtering.
2. we can quickly see any rows with unknown values and figure out whats wrong. its always missing reference data that the client didnt think to give us. a quick insert of the dimension data and import and the rows get imported.
thanks for the replies.

Best way to connect two fact tables when no conformed dimension exists

Can anyone please elaborate how would I connect two fact table without any conformed dimension. Let say FACTA, FACTB. FACTB is related to a dimension "StatusDim". I want to select the count of all FACTA item which are related to FACTB items with
a particular status. I have found the following article but just wondering whether it is the best practise to connect two fact tables directly.
http://bifuture.blogspot.com/2011/11/ssas-selecting-facts-with-reference.html
Thank you

Hi Ahsan,
After read the blog you posted, I think it's a pretty good solution to create a view in the relational database or a named query in the Data Source View containing as the the columns in FACTA and FACTB. Then build a dimension from it, setting the "Null processing"
property (you have to click the "plus" two times for the "Key Columns" property of the attribute in BIDS to access this property) to "UnknownMember". And then use this dimension for the many-to-many relationship. Dimensions from FactA can benefit of the reference
relationship between FactA and FactB and therefore a powerful solution it is.

Default value for a column in Table Control

Hi friends, can i set dinamcally a default value for a column in table control?, this column is check type. This default value must appear in empty rows,
thanks

ADD A MODULE AS Module yyyy In ur PAI.
as
In PAI.
LOOP at itab.
Module YYYY
ENDLOOP.
Module YYYY.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF SCREEN-NAME = 'ITAB-VAL.
      ITAB-VAL = 'XXXXXXXX'        "(DEFAULT VALUE)
      SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
End module.
*note
make this event work only if the previous column is filled okay.
the display will be in display mode on the screen as screen-input = 0.
see that in the table control u can get the table field for all the rows even though you are processing on some fields .
so what u do is make that particular filed masked(no i/p field and populate the field that will be better instead of populating all the columns okay.
hope this helps you out ,

Missing comments and notes fields for view columns

Hello,
I am missing the comments and notes fields for view columns in the relational model of DM. For the table columns these fields are present, so it would be nice to make this available for views too. The Designer import should be adapted too to import those fields.
Joop

Hi Joop,
My question is about the import of Designer for those fields. This is still not solved, even not in rel 4.0
In fact even DM 3.3 imports comments, notes and comments in RDBMS from Designer repository. Though comments and notes are not accessible through UI they are there and you can include them in custom report.
Comments and notes are accessible through UI in DM 4.0

Same dimension in two different fact tables

Hi,
I have one same dimension in two different fact tables. I would like to know how BI server choose the fact table when I do a request in this dimension.
I know that is always using the same fact table, but I would like to know why choose this table and not the other.
Thanks

Sorry,
But it doesn't seem to me.
I reorded the tables in the BMM layer and it continues to use the same table, regardless this table is in last.
After, I droped that table in the BMM layer and it continued to use the same.
Thanks for your reply

JTable - One Column Heading for Two Columns

Can you adjust the default JTable to have one column heading for two columns of data? Is there a simple span command? I've looked at the api for JTable and JTableHeader and didn't see anything, is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.

What i am trying to accomplish is have column 'E' span 2 columns.
This is my code thus far, however it give the error from my pryor message. I am pretty sure it is because I'm using and Object[][] and a String[] instead of Vectors. What corrections do I need to make in order for my goal of:
[ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ][ E ][ F ][ G ]
[ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ][5][6][ 7 ][ 8 ]
Object[][] data = new Object[ROWS][COLUMNS];
String[] columnNames = {"A","B","C","D","E","E","F","G"};
table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
table.setBackground(Color.white);
table.addKeyListener(this);
DefaultTableCellRenderer d = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
d.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
table.setDefaultRenderer(table.getColumnClass(0),d);
for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount(); i++){
TableColumn aColumn = header.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
TableCellRenderer renderer = aColumn.getHeaderRenderer();
if (renderer == null) {
renderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer(){
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column){
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
if (header != null) {
setForeground(header.getForeground());
setBackground(header.getBackground());
setFont(header.getFont());
setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
return this;

Change the content of a field for a record in table

Dear guru ,
i know that there is chance to change the content of a field for a record in table using SE16 for the table involved and debugging.
Can you explain me the flow to run this ?
Thanks.

Hi CONS SAP,
You can use se16n transaction. This is very user friendly trnasaction. You may use it like this:
1) Start transaction SE16n.
2) Type the table name and press ENTER.
3) Type the string "&sap_edit" into the command line and press Enter.
4) Enter your selection criteria and press F8.
Now you can easily change/delete/add the lines you want and then save.
All Changes are recorded in the tables SE16N_CD_DATA and SE16N_CD_KEY.
But I would request you to keep in mind the suggestions from Vijay Babu Dudla

Modelling 2 Fact Tables with Non-Conforming Dimension in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have two fact tables (Fact 1 and Fact 2) and two dimension tables (Product and Rule). The Product dimension table is a conforming dimension and is used in both fact tables, but the Rule dimension is a non-conforming dimension which is used only one fact table. I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.0).
====
Fact 1
====
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
Notes for Fact 1:
- One Sales ID can have multiple Product IDs
- Sales Description and Sales Status are the same for one Sales ID (repeating Sales Description and Sales Status for the same Sales ID)
====
Fact 2
====
Sales ID | Product ID | Rule ID | Score
S001 | P001 | R001 | 2
S001 | P001 | R002 | 3
S001 | P002 | R003 | 1
S002 | P001 | R003 | 1
S002 | P003 | R002 | 2
S002 | P003 | R004 | 5
Notes for Fact 2:
- One combination of Sales ID and Product ID can have multiple Rule ID
I'm wondering how best to model these tables so that I can create this report (number of the dimension and fact tables created in the business model, level mapping, aggregation rule, etc)? Any suggestion/advice on how to achieve this?
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R001 | 2
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R002 | 3
S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R003 | 1
S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R003 | 1
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R002 | 2
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R004 | 5
Thank you very much!

Hi Dhar, thanks for the suggestions.
I tested what you suggested, but the result is not as per my expectation mentioned above. Here's what I did:
1. In physical layer:
- I joined Fact 1 table with Product dimension table only
- I joined Fact 2 table with Product and Rule dimension tables
2. In business model layer:
- I created 3 logical tables: Fact, Product, and Rule
- The Product table contains the Product ID and Product Name from the Product dimension table in the physical layer
- I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Product with only ProductTotal level (as the grand total level) and ProductDetail level that contains Product ID and Product Name
- The Rule table contains the Rule ID and Rule Name from the Rule dimension table in the physical layer
- I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Rule with only RuleTotal level (as the grand total level) and RuleDetail level that contains Rule ID and Rule Name
- The Fact table contains 2 logical tables sources: Fact 1 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleTotal) and Fact 2 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleDetail)
- The Fact table contains Sales ID logical column (mapped to both Fact 1 and Fact 2 logical table sources)
- The Fact table also contains Sales Description and Sales Status logical columns (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is the default to None
- The Fact table also contains Quantity logical column (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
- The Fact table also contains Score logical column (mapped to only Fact 2), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
OBIEE returns the expected result when I retrieve the report:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
However, OBIEE returns an error when I retrieve the reports:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID
or
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
The error is:
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. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request FACT.SALES_STATUS. (HY000)
And the Score column is blank when I retrieved this report:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Score
Any suggestion anyone? Please help. Thanks a lot!

Spry validation text field across two columns in a table?

I have a table with two columns. I can easily insert a spry validated text field into the left cell but when I drag the box over so that box is in the right column and the label is still in the left column then that breaks the widget.
Is this even possible for me to do or do I have to put the widget in just one column?

Think I figured it out.

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

Blank page showing when changing from two column to one column pages

This is the scenario:
Document with two master pages - Page1 has two content areas - left column and right column, Page 2 has one content area the full page width named 'FullPage'
One page set named PageSetOne - with multiple subforms, each with Pagination setting of Following Previous and Continue filling parent.
Second page set named PageSetTwo - this has a single subform with Pagination setting of place on Page2. The child subform has itself a subform with Pagination setting of Place in Content Area 'FullPage'.
     This page set is initially set to be Hidden.
Third page set named PageSetThree - this has a single subform with Pagination setting of place in Page 1 and a child subform with Pagination setting of Following Previous.
[Obviously I am simplifying names and content here].
The problem is this: when in design mode, there is a blank page showing at the end of the document whenever there are sufficient subforms in PageSetOne such that subforms are displayed in the right hand column.
When subforms are removed so that nothing is showing in the right hand column then the blank page goes away.
I have put a marker subform immediately after the last subform in PageSetThree and can see that the blank page is showing after this.
Also, the following problem:
     When in preview mode, the extra blank page at the end does not display (which is good)
     BUT if the hidden PageSetTwo is made to be visible AND there is content showing in the right hand column prior to it,
     THEN a blank page is displayed just before the newly displayed PageSetTwo page (a single column page on Master page Page2).
I have tried every combination of Pagination Place before and after settings and can find no way to avoid the blank pages.
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on and how I can avoid these blanks showing up?

I have finally managed to solve this problem.
The issue was not a subform extending too far out, it was a pagination setting, as Niall suggested.
I created a blank document to analyse the issue closely, and lo, my new blank doc with all default settings, worked perfectly.
So I revisited my forms and compared the pagination settings subform by subform.
This is what I had to change to ensure that all pages flowed with no extras:
PageSetOne (which is supposed to show using the two column master)
set the top page Place = ‘In Content Area Leftcolumn’ and After=Continue filling parent
All child subforms each with Pagination setting of Following Previous and Continue filling parent.
PageSetTwo (to show in the full page column Master)
set the top page Place = ‘In Content Area FullPage’ and After=Continue filling parent
All child subforms each with Pagination setting of Following Previous and Continue filling parent.
PageSetThree ( back to two column master)
set the top page Place = ‘On Page1’ and After=Continue filling parent
All child subforms each with Pagination setting of Following Previous and Continue filling parent.
I discovered that the critical setting was for PageSetOne. The After setting needed to be Continue filling Parent
Once I had those settings in order then the form performed as required.
This has been a frustrating learning experience but at least ultimately successful.
