Slicer Time Dimension Issue with Cube Functions

Hi,
Hoping someone can help me figure out right approach here.
Summary:
Using Excel 2013 connected to a SSAS cube as data source, and cube functions with slicers to create a dashboard.
Have following time dimension slicers; Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Fiscal Month, Fiscal Week & Date, that are used to slice data based on user selection, along
with a sales measure.
Below is example of Slicer name and CubeMember function for each:
Slicer_Fiscal_Year:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Year].&[2015]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Quarter:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Quarter].[All]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Month:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Month].&[201408]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Week:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Week].&[201509]")
Slicer_Date:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Date].[All]")
Problem:
What I am trying to do is to build a table with cube functions that takes the lowest grain of the slicer time dimension selected, shows the current member, plus
the prior 7 so I can have an 8 period trending view table that I will build a chart from. In the above example that would mean that it would look at Slicer_Fiscal_Week since that is lowest grain that has an attribute other than All, and then show me the prior
7 periods. In this case 201509 means Week 9, so I would want to show in table Week 9 back to Week 2. But if Slicer_Fiscal_Week was set to All, along with Slicer_Date, then Fiscal Month would be lowest grain, so I would want to show Fiscal Months from August
(201408) back to January 2014. I know how to use CubeRankedMember to pull the value from what is selected in the slicer, the problem is figuring out how to pass the lowest grain time dimension so that I can use lag or some other MDX function to get the previous
periods.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

Issue with Duplicate FUNCTION

Hi Guys:
I am experiencing some issue with DUPLIATE FUNCTION. What happen is that I have create some BUTTONS on the stage that was used througth out difference scence.....those buttons has same action that point page to particular scence. And this is when I found the DUPLICATE FUNCTION issue.
I found that I could get away by changing the name of the FUNCTION, but as I have quite a lots of those buttons so I really don't think this method is very pratical and organized. So does anyone have any better idea how this can be solved?
Many Thanks!

Thanks so much, this did solve the problem. Studpid me that were trying to add same FUNCTION on each Scene that has the same button. Initially I thought it's more complex in AS3, but seems AS3 is actually trying to make thing easier and more praticler.
Not really good at previously AS, but decided to spend some time on learning AS3.0 now. Hope I could help people like me on the forum with question about AS3.0 soon. Just like the favor you did for me.
Many Thanks!!

Some issue with the Function Module u0093'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY' in a BW ECC6.0

Hi All,
Need some urgent help..
Iam facing some issue with the Function Module 'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY' in a BW ECC6.0 system.
As shown below, in the function module, the Table IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT gets populated with some values based on inputs like IT_CLASSES, IT_QUERY, and L.
This updation of IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT table is happening for some of the services sent through IT_QUERY and is not getting populated for some.
call function 'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY
exporting
CONNECTION_SPACE         =
    OBJ_TYPE                 = 'L'
PTYPE                    =

     RESULT_OBJECTS           = IT_LOIO
PROPERTIES_REQUEST       = PROPERTIES_RESULT        = IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT.
The values are as follows:-
Values getting populated in IT_CLASSES BW_LO_TRAN               Values getting populated in IT_QUERY 1) BW_QUERY, 2) /BIC/ZSERVICE
I would like to know whether any Standard Customizing BW transaction is present that is maintaining IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT table properties and fetching through this Function Module.
Also, suggest how this issue can be resolved
Thanks & Regards,

As FI consultant, What are critical issues with other Functional Consultant

Hai, Masters
Can you express about Critical issues with other functional consultant with exmples
Regards
Ramesh K

Hi Ramesh K,
I think the critical issue should be the definaition cross application should be consistency( Ex in FI, CO, MM or SD).
And the Main issue is the result updated from FI to other applications or from other applications to FI is correct or not!

Time Zone issue with 7.0 and DB2

Hi,
We are having a time zone issue with weblogic server 7.0 and DB2 database. I would really appreciate if somebody provides a solution for this issue.
Our db2 DB is located in PST time zone and weblogic server is located in EST time zone.
When we access current timestamp from db2, we are getting PST time converted to EST and EST time zone attached with timestamp value.
I tried to use resultset.getTimeStamp (1,<calendar>), unfortunately this method is not supported in the DB2 driver version I am using.
We want to get same value as returned by db2 with db2 time zone not weblogic server time zone.
And also when we add new record with timestamp column through web service, regardless the time zone value sent by web service client ".Net" ,
Weblogic server converts the java.util.Date value to weblogic time zone and stores in the db.
For example, client sent 17:00 hours CST, but when it gets stored in db through weblogic ws, weblogic converts 17:00 to 18:00 EST and stores in database as 18:00 hours without any time zone. When we read this value back, we are getting it 18:00 EST only not 17:00 CST.
This is fine as long as writing and reading by same weblogic server. If another weblogic server instance in PST time zone read this value, it takes as 18:00 PST.
Due to this our application always shows timestamp hours differently.
Could some body help me to fix this problem, we are getting this problem in production after we moved our DB2 location to different time zone.
Thanks
Balaji

Month Sort Order Problem in Time Dimension(Essbase with Obiee)?

Hi All,
I am facing issue with month order in answers.
First I created BSO cube using Essbase Studio. When i exposed cube in answers, months were sorted in alphabetical order. So i used RANK function with evaluate to arrange month members in proper order. But if i use RANK function it pulls all missing records and it is effecting performance.
Then i created Time dimension(dimension loading) in essbase from FLAT file,initially it was coming in proper order. But after some time again it sorted in alphabetical order!!!

Please advice...

Hi user10300020,
That's a fairly common problem with months that happens regardless of database source.
In the logical layer of OBIEE you can specify the sort order on the month name column. Just double click on the month name column and look for the option to set sort order based on a different column. I typically sort the month name based on the month number.
Give that a shot and tell me if it works.

Oracle 11gR2 use the time dimension wizard---the cube didn't show any information!

I created a Time Dimension with the Time dimension wizard , a category dimension, and a rel_expense cube in OWB 。what I do is following the oracle 11g r1's turtoial
The rel_expense cube has two forigen keys, one is refrence the category dimension's dimension_key(primary key in the category dimension), and the other one refrence the time dimension's start_day_date(bussniess key in the time dimension).
The result I get is the rel_expense_tab had datas, but the rel_expense cube had nothing.
.I delete the category dimension , it is the same result(cube rel_expense had nothing).
But if I only delete the time dimension, it is ok(both of them had datas)!!!
So I think is the time dimension's problem ,because the 11g r2's time dimension wizard didnt' generate the dimension_key for time. Is the forigen key(time dimension) i refrenced in the cube is error,so if it is, what should I do?
SEEK FOR YOU HELP!!!!!
ps:my mother language isn't English ,so it has many erros in the passage

can anybody help me? the measures in my cube were round to integer, i doubt it came from time dimension. did anyone encounts such a senario

Two time dimensions in one cube

Hi all,
I have the requirement to create a cube for customer mgmt reports. People want to report on registrations and terminations of customers.
So in my cube I need two references to my time dimension (called dim_time). I tried it out and owb accepts the two references to dim_time, automatically renaming the second dimension to dim_time_1. Deployment and loading is also fine.
So from a testing perspective this seems to be the right way of doing it. Has anyone else done something like this and did you see any problems later on?
I want to be save before I go to production.
Another question is about outer join of the second dim_time reference for termination date. All people have a registration date, but most (hopefully) don’t have a termination date. But all of them shall be loaded to the cube. I have not seen a possibility to influence the joins at the cube operator. What’s possible there ?
Regards,
Knut

In order to do two references to the same dimension, you could create two roles in the time dimension. Then, in the cube you can refer to each role. Actually, it's the same you have done, the only difference is using roles make the model easier to understand, because you can give a friendly name to each role.
The second point is about referencing a null date. I think there is no way to do that using the cube object. In these cases, I use to create a date like '31/12/9999' and doing a reference to that. Inside the map you can use an expression with something like that: to_date(NVL(your_date, '31129999'), 'ddmmyyyy'). And, of course, do not forget to insert this date in the dimension.
It's not common to have null data in DW. Any exception should be identified and documented, for example, "Not Available", "Unknown", etc.

My USB drives have "Disk Repair" issues, with "limited functionality."

The only way I can transfer files between my PowerMac G4 with OS X v10.5.2 and my PowerMac 5500/225 with OS 8.6 is with Iomega Zip drives. My 100 MB disks work perfectly in OS 8.6 but they seem to get corrupted when I open them on the G4. I've had this problem with other USB drives on the G4, including an external USB hard drive and my USB SD card reader. Things will seem to work fine transferring files but then I'll get the following message:
*+Disk Repair+*
+The disk "disk" was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible.+
Then I drag the files over with the Zip drive until everything blows up and I have to reformat the disk. I'm scared what might happen with the SD cards, if that will have any effect on the camera or if the disk will stop working entirely. The external hard drive was the first to blow up but we didn't know that this was going to be a trend so we had returned that to Best Buy. It had worked beautifully under OS X v.10.3.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on here and how to fix it? I do not have vast sums to upgrade hardware and software nor do I even really want to. I'm quite fond of the old Power Mac 5500 and OS 8.6.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Have you tried backing up again by manually running a Time Machine backup? Unfortunately, if your backup is corrupted I don't know of a way to fix it except to start over.

Authorization issue with upload functionality

Hi,
I have issue with authorization with upload functionality.
we have country as authorization relavant field. if we are giving some country authorization to user it is giving authorization error at upload functionality.
But if we give all country authorization than it is working fine.
Could you guide me how to avoid this situation. We can not give all country authorization to all the users.
Thanks,
Naman Shah

Hi Naman,
For SAP BPS
Here while defining a variable you can set the user authorization and can determine which all records can be seen by the user.
For eg. Create a variable for country with replacement type User-specific values. Here you can assign values to a particular user id.
Please check for more details:

Time Dimension Population with ODI 11.1.1.5

Hi All,
I am planning to build a time/Date dimension to use with the HR Fact tables (sourced from Oracle HRMS).
Customer would like to supply start and end dates (01-JAN-05 TO 31-DEC-11) and i should be able to generate and load the time data between these dates.
Down the line, if the customer to append the Time Dimension for future data, he should be able to specify the new start and end dates (01-JAN-12 To 31-DEC-15), i should be able to incrementally load the new time data, instead of truncating and regenerating all the time data.
Any ideas on implementing this requirements using ‘Oracle Data Integrator 11.1.1.5’?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Venkat

This is what I did recently,
Download the 'SQL_as_source' knowledge module from the Oracle ODI Blog here : http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/entry/odi_11g_simple_flexible_powerful
Used a temporary interface with the following simple query :
with row_generator as (
SELECT to_date('01011980','ddmmyyyy') + LEVEL - 1 DT
FROM sys.dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <=
/* End Date in here -> */ to_number(to_date('31122030','ddmmyyyy') -
/* Start Date in here -> */ to_date('01011980','ddmmyyyy')) +1 )
SELECT DISTINCT
'YEAR' as TIME_LEVEL,
NULL as YEAR_MONTH,
NULL as YEAR_QTR,
to_char(DT,'YYYY') as YEAR
from row_generator
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT
'QUARTER',
NULL,
to_char(DT,'YYYY')||' / '||to_char(DT,'Q'),
to_char(DT,'YYYY') from row_generator
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT
'MONTH',
to_char(DT,'YYYY')||' / '||to_char(DT,'MM'),
to_char(DT,'YYYY')||' / '||to_char(DT,'Q'),
to_char(DT,'YYYY')from row_generator
order by 1,2,3,4
As you can see in the above code, it would be possible to pass in ODI variables as the start and end dates , you could either allow the user to type these in at run time or read them from a control table.
Use the temporary interface as the source data for your Time dimension interface (you might want to add more Time Attributes - Mine was very simple) , then use an IKM Incremental update approach (Im using IKM Oracle Incremental update (Merge)).
Hope this helps

p.s - my time dimension is loading multiple levels (Years, Quarters, Months) into the same table - the SQL contains a row for each day though so easily adapted to report days.

Time Machine issues with OS 10.6.8

Hi all,
after updating to 10.6.8 I noticed a Time Machine issue.
Backup takes very long but only a few MB were backed up.
And after it was finished, Finder crashed and I had to do a hard reset.
There´s also a "in progress" file on my USB Backup HDD after finishing.
Checking my HDD´s and repairing it wasn´t the problem.
Today I tried a new USB HDD to make a fresh Backup via Time Machine.
After a few hours it was finished, but only 7,8MB were backed up and still there is an "in progress" file on my new Backup HDD.
Here´s a troubleshoot:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/My Book/Backups.backupdb
Ownership is disabled on the backup destination volume. Enabling.

Can anyone help me?

A whole lot about Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.
There are two important errors noted in the backup:
I-O error -36 « fuzzybrain|daisychain|blogdrain
The following comes from the LaCie web site but is applicable to any other external drives whether home brew or commercial.
Getting error -50 when copying data in OS X.
Some LaCie drives ship out formatted FAT32 so they will be ready to use on either a Mac or a PC. If you are getting error -50 when copying to a LaCie drive, or any drive formatted for PC, it is because of the following:
Certain characters that can be used in a Mac OS X filename are not allowed in MS-DOS filenames. This can prevent the file from being copied, and can occur when a filename contains non-printing ASCII characters, or any of these characters: ? / \ < > " | > *.
Either copy the data off of the drive and use Apple's Disk Utility to erase the drive in Mac OS Extended format, or change the filenames of the documents that cannot be copied.
