Snow flaked structure issue.

Hi all,
I have this kind of snow flaked structure.
http://rapidshare.com/files/189136860/BMM.JPG.html
I need to some how make it compatible with OBIEE.
The concept of dimensional hirarchies is bit confusing to me in this situation. can you please throw some light & some tips over how i can make it work..
Thanks.
pankaj

Hi Stijn,
Thanks for the promt reply, The first thing is clear about combing dimensions.
I have one more basic question. Would changing the joins from one DIm to fact in BMM effect the results it gives???
For ex if we have 2 tables where Table A is in relation with Table B in 1:N. A-->B & if we make physical join between 2 tables in Physical layer.
And in BMM we represent it as A>--B.. would it be a problem in geting results???
My idea is to make a single fact in the structure we are having just to avoid the complexity in creting heirarchies...
Please refer the orginal diagram @ http://rapidshare.com/files/189136860/BMM.JPG.html
And now the moidified one @ http://rapidshare.com/files/189632380/BMM.JPG.html .. i have marked the changes i have done in Blue.
Please see if this can help us... My team mates say that we would be changing the cardinality/relationships in BMM would get us wrong results but i feel the queries generated wuld be the same & should work in this way we will get a simplified structure with single fact.
If the idea i am having works then we can strt combing tables in a dimensiion & link it directly with Fact this would avoid the complexity again in the structure....
I hope i am clearly explained my query. Please do let me know if any more explanation needed.
Please give ur advice on this.
Thanks a lot,
Pankaj

  • Org structure issue

    Hi,
    I have a question related to an org structure issue. Let me explain by taking an example:
    The Org set up we have goes like this, let A1 be the VP of a particular division, he has a director B1 reporting to him. B1 has four different employees C1, C2, C3 and C4 reporting to her. The interesting part here is, C1 and C2 belong to a different cost center (say CC1) and C3, C4 belong to a different one (CC2). Both CC1 and CC2 are managed by B1. The tricky part is CC1 comes under the VP 'A1' while CC2 does not have any supervisior above. B1 is the final supervisor.
    The problem is, when I run the Org report to find all the employees coming under A1, C3 and C4 also show up. How to correct this?
    In our system, the org structure is driven by position of the employee and not by the cost center. However we have an relationship record (A011) in HRP1001 between the Org unit of the employee and the cost center but it does not serve the purpose because B1 is placed in one cost center CC1 and manages the other cost center CC2 too. Since she can be in one cost center at a time say CC1 there is no record pertaining to CC2 for her.
    How to resolve this? what kind of config change needs to done?
    Any leads or suggestion would be helpful.
    Thanks in advance,

  • When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue??

    When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue?
    I am growing impatient not being able to use cross dissolve or titles.
    Its going to be a pain having to back out to OS 10.5. This is beginning to be like Windows Vista.

    You don't say what "..Snow Leopard Compatibility issue.." you're having.
    My titles and Dissolves - and everything else - work perfectly with iMovie HD 6 and with iMovie '09 in Snow Leopard.
    Perhaps you need to revert to QuickTime 7 ..just in case you over-wrote QT 7 with Snow Leopard's own QuickTime X when you upgraded to SL.
    QT7 and QT X both sit happily alongside each other in Snow Leopard ..you might want to give that a try.
    But I have no problem with any aspect of iMHD6 nor iM09 (..and no trouble with "stills"..) using Snow Leopard on a "late '08" MacBook Pro.
    I haven't yet installed SL (Family Pack) on my Mac Mini ..I'll let SL throw away my QT7 on that, and will see if that causes any problems with iMovie. If it does, I'll then download and re-install QT7 and see if that fixes any problems. But don't hold your breath ..I may report back tomorrow, but today I'm pretty busy! I'll do my best, though..

  • Unable to launch several applications in Snow Leopard/ iDVD issues

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard 4 days ago and am having trouble launching several applications. The list includes:
    -CuteFTP for Mac
    -Adobe CS3: illustrator, flash, InDesign
    -Cisco VPN client
    I've tried selecting the "use rosetta to open" option in "get info" on the affected applications with no luck.
    Additionally, while burning a DVD I was unable to switch applications when iDVD was multiplexing and writing (~ 30 minutes total.) After the disk was done, the Finder toolbar was gone, and I couldn't re-launch Finder. I had to do a hard restart.
    Did I miss something during installation? This ranks with the original OSX (10.0) transition in terms of disruption.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eddie

    CuteFTP hasn't had an update since June 2008. CyberDuck is free and there is a new 64 bit version in beta here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14426
    Adobe said they haven't tested CS3 with SL - you can try their support forums for better info: http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/creativesuites_macintosh?view=d iscussions
    Cisco VPN - There is a thread with a lot of information, and some solutions here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2131308&tstart=0&messageID=100 89199
    I don't know about an iDVD problem like you had. I've been burning fine with Toast 10, although I do miss my contextual menu's. I have to launch the program first now instead of just right clicking on a file and choosing Burn with Toast. Apple removed almost all of the contextual menu's in favor of an improved 'Services' system that I never used in the past.
    Leopard caused as many programs to quit working when Apple dropped support for OS9. There were hundreds of complaints. SL does change the basic structure to support 64bit apps, and seems to have caused minor problems with a wide range of programs, while other programs of the same type seem to work great.
    The worst problems I'm seeing are related to HP Printer driver issues. Luckily I switched to Brother Printers a couple of years ago. Brother had their drivers ready months before SL's release date and they download as soon as you install the OS and run 'Software Update'.

  • Report structure issue

    EPM 10 SP15
    I have a requirement to build a asymmetric column axis and dynamic row expansion input form to be done. If i can do this, that would avoid unnecessary building the same structure with 7 different reports to construct the asymmetric columns. But i am facing an issue that the rows not expanding.
    Based on Vadim static report blog i am convinced that we can have a static asymmetric col axis and have a dynamic row axis but looks like in my report build it is not expanding on the row.
    Here is what i did
    1) Build the column axis as below resulting in EPMOlapMemberO cells referring to other excel cells. Basically I wanted to show i have a asymmetric column axis need.
    ACTUAL        PLAN           PLAN            ACTUAL
    PROD1         PROD2        PROD1          PROD3
    2013.JAN      2013.FEB     2013.JAN       2014.JAN
    2)  Row axis should expand based on parent node like
    Customer Group
    ---Customer 1
    ---Customer 2
    ---Customer 3
    3) Of course i need some page axis overrides
    What i did:
    By enabling member recognition i created the col axis cells referring to the cells i already constructed manually
    I manually entered a dummy member in row axis cell with member recognition on
    It automatically recognized col and rows and created a default report
    So far so good.
    Now i went to row axis selection and made the member selection to Customer Group (member & children selection).
    Then i refreshed the report assuming it would expand on row  but it didn't do anything
    Am i doing something wrong?  Is it possible to have a static col axis with dynamic row axis?
    I also want to ask if this is a safe approach to build a report with static col axis and dynamic row axis. Would it prevent me from inserting local members in col axis later?
    Any help is appreciated..
    ~Dilkins

    You are doing something incorrectly. If you have row axis Customer member definition as:
    Context (Member and Descendants)
    Then if you change context to some parent and refresh - your row axis will be expanded to Member and Descendants of the context parent.
    You can also use =EPMDimensionOverride for Customer.
    "If I follow this construction, can I add local members in between the columns at later time?" - yes, you can insert local member columns.
    "I plan to do PageAxis override" - what do you mean by override? EPMDimensionOverride is applicable only for row and column dimensions! You can use Excel formulas as it's described in the blog.

  • CS4 in Snow Lepard Action Issues

    Snow Lepard 10.6.1 /  illCS4 14.0.0
    I have a collection of actions (CS3) which are essential to my work. In particular, actions which call up Layer and Colour Palette functions which are not included in Keyboard mapping.  These actions are triggered by Function keys. When I started on CS4 I have re-created these actions and saved a new set - specifically for CS4. When launching CS4 these new actions load in, but appear as "containers" only - action header, but no contents: (blanks).
    When I replace actions through Action side Menu, my new set is restored but Function Key assignments are missing and have to be re-defined.
    I have eliminated what I think are all Keyboard assignment conflicts in illustrator, as well all Keyboard services in System Preferences.
    I would appreciate any help.

    Maybe not a cs4/snow leopard issue but an overprinting issue?
    Is the white text that goes away set to overprint?

  • Framework Structure Issue

    I am creating Distributed App outside the Mac App Store on Mac osX 10.9.5 with XCode 6. I have used Developer ID Application certificate, custom Framework which was Developed by me. I have signed this framework with same Developer ID Application certificate which used for Mac App. I have Export a Developer ID signed Application in my Mac.
    Now, The Problem is when I download ".app" from mail in my Mac and double click, It display Alert Message " App can not be open because identity of developer can not be found". I have attached Image of Error.
    When I run codesign command on terminal, It shows "WSBluetoothFramework.framework/: bundle format is ambiguous (could be app or framework)".
    So I checked and found that after export signed app "Headers" folder is missing. But before archive and export Framework contain Proper structure of Framework.
    Before Archive Framework Structure
    After Archive Framework Structure
    I want that When App double click it should ask for Open Permission instead of the Error Message.
    So Can anyone now about this issue?

    You have to structure your workspace properly if you want an embedded framework to work. It should look something like this:
    Project/
         Application/
              Application/
                   Application.xcodeproj
         Application Workspace/
              Application.xcworkspace
         Framework/
              Framework/
                   Framework.xcodeproj
    Hopefully I have the indentation correct, but this is the general idea. Replace "Project" with your project name, "Application" with your app name, and "Framework" with your framework name. It may be possible to get it to work using some other structure, but I know this works. If you have it setup properly, when you add your embedded framework, Xcode should setup all of the copy files and run script build phases to properly embed and code sign your framework.
    In your example, missing the Headers is normal. It the the code signature that you need. It looks like you have code-signed your development version. That won't work. You have to let Xcode do it the way Xcode wants. If you try to fight Xcode, you will always lose.

  • Printing Structure Issue

    Hi Folks!
    I am writing a report and I am printing the days of the week,
    school day periods and the rooms that are empty on any period. To
    print my structure I do the following:
    <cfif
    StructKeyExists(roomStruct,Periods.PERIOD_CODE[period])>
    <cfif
    StructKeyExists(roomStruct[Periods.PERIOD_CODE[period]],CycleDays.DAY_CODE[day])>
    #StructKeyList(roomStruct[Periods.PERIOD_CODE[period]][CycleDays.DAY_CODE[day]])#
    </cfif>
    </cfif>
    The issue is that I am getting the following set of rooms
    (example):
    ,Room1,Room2, Room3
    Please note the comma before room 1. The customers do not
    want that. Did I miss a step?
    I'd appreciate any feedback!
    Apocalipsis!

    Start with a empty string and use listappend.

  • NWDS import RFC interface for the structure issue??

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm working on the SAP NetWeaver BPM with NWDS 7.3 SP12 rite now and got confused about the RFC interface structure stuff.
    I have a mapping activity defined in the process and the receiver interface needs a RFC. So I go to "Process Modeling" -> "Services Interfaces", right click and choose "Import RFC",type the correct RFC/BAPI name connecting with the SAP ECC system. The issue is that when I finished importing the RFC, went to the "Data Types", the RFC interface namespace shows out but the structure shows seperately with individual segment, so the whole nested RFC interface structure messed up in parallel which is incorrect for the data object and output mapping for later process activities.
    Anyone has ran into such kind of issue or experience the same, any solution or suggestion?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rajesh

    William,
    Another two questions relates to NWDS BPM development:
    1. Sometimes after I import the service interface into NWDS, the structure displays differently from it defines in ESR, I mean the fields sequence. I dont know why
    2. Refer to your screenshot,
    Assume the occurence of node HEADER and item is (0..1), when I want to map a blank constant to them to generate the target structure, the editor not allows and display error which is very different with ESR mapping tool, could you please help to advise? Tons of thanks!
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Rajesh

  • Ilustrator CS4+Snow Leopard Profile issues

    Seems like something is not working in Cs4 Illustrator with Snow Leopard. Can someone give it a try to verify.
    When I print to my Epson 3800 from Illust. It's not matching the same image printed via PS Cs4. ( It should if you follow a controlled workflow--which I do)
    At first thought it was a color management issue, but everything is synchronized via Bridge, and I am using the same print settings, paper profiles , etc in both apps.
    I then tried saving as a pdf in Illustrator. Same thing is occuring. Seems like the profile is not "sticking".
    I did not have this issue before Snow Leopard.
    If I open the Illustrator created PDF via Photoshop, then everything is ok....what is happening?
    ( have the newest drivers from Epson)
    Norbert

    No advice?
    I have resorted to saving as eps from Illustrator and then creating a PDF from the eps using distiller. Then the profile for images seem to be recognized. Otherwise if I save as pdf directly from Illustrator to pdf, images are too overexposed--as are colors too light. (same issue occurs if directly printing via Illust,)

  • Snow Leopard - Latency issues when waking from sleep

    I own two macs ('09 mini and unibody macbook), both of which connect wirelessly to an airport extreme N router. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have been dealing with terrible latency issues when the computers wake from sleep. Ping times from local servers increase from around 23ms to 220ms and webpages load slowly. A quick reboot solves the issue. Connecting directly to the airport extreme with a patch cable also solves the latency issue so I know it's just with wireless.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem since upgrading and, if so, what are you doing to solve the issue?
    Edit: Samples of ping times...before and then after a reboot:

    I use Ethernet so I cannot comment but have you tried trashing the airport pref.plist and removed the preferred networks in the network set up in System Preferences and then set up the wifi connection again?

  • Anyone using Logic 8 with 10.6 Snow Leopard ? issues ?

    Using Logic 8 with 10.6, I'm aware there is an issue quitting Logic without first closing the current project.
    Are there any other issues? any performance boost/ benefit?
    I'm running an 06 Macbook Pro 17" 2 Gb Ram 10.5.8 currently and considering an upgrade to 10.6
    Audio units I use: Revalver MKIII and Amplitube

    (blushes embarrassedly)
    No, my coffee was still too hot...
    There are quite a few issues running L8 and L9 with Snow Leopard. My (and also from some of the pro's here) standard answer is hold off Snow Leopard until it has stabilized a bit more. Try to wait until 10.6.4 or 5 at least. Leopard only became reasonably stable with L8 at version 10.5.4, 0-3 were problematic.
    Just check this forum for user reports when SL gets updated.
    Since SL was released, the number of Q's on this forum seems to have more than doubled. That is strong circumstancial evidence for SL-Logic stability/reliability problems. It may be the price to pay for the price we pay.

  • Need help with Snow Leopard compatibility issue

    We have a new iMac in (with Snow Leopard) and have loaded all our programs. Due to budgets, we have not made the jump to CS4 and are still on CS3 (waiting for 5). We work in an InDesign/InCopy workflow.
    In launching InDesign on the MAc with Snow Leopard, we have noticed that the assignment folders are nonexistant and within the program you can't even open an assignment window. When you reopen on a system without Snow Leopard, the individual assignments are there, but the program states it can't find the main assignment, so it's cancelling out the assignments if opened on the Snow Leopard unit.
    Does anyone have any info on compatibility issues with Indesign CS3 and Snow Leopard? My tech guy found nothing on this before we ordered the new system.

    First things first. CS5 was announced today and preorders are being accepted.
    I believe if you upgrade to CS4 you'll get a free copy of CS5. This is important because if you're upgrading a suite, tiered pricing makes CS3 to CS4 $200 less than waiting til CS5 comes out.
    That out of the way, is everyone fully patched to CS3 5.0.4? Is Snow Leopard fully updated to 10.6.3? Do you have full read/write permission on the server?

    Hi,
    Go to Allocation Structure which you are using for this and see what is the cost element group or range you entered in the Allocation structure.
    Once you find the range or cost element group, you need to include the above cost elements into the Ranges or cost element groups.
    Your issue will be solved..
