Sub-tables/Flow dimension - NETVAR

Hi all
Does anybody know what it means if a particular value in the the Sub-tables/Flow dimension has a FLOW_TYPE of NETVAR ?

Hi pmyahoo,
According to your description, you want to use T-SQL to create a relational view contains fact table with dimension tables. Right?
In Analysis Services, a data source view (DSV) is an abstraction of a relational data source that becomes the basis of the cubes and dimensions you create in a multidimensional project. It contains the logical model of the schema used by Analysis Services
multidimensional database objects—namely cubes, dimensions, and mining structures. It is the metadata definition, stored in an XML format, of these schema elements used by the Unified Dimensional Model (UDM) and by the mining structures. So it's a virtual
table like the View we create via T-SQL. Please refer to links below:
Data Source Views (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data)
Defining a Data Source View (Analysis Services)
When designing data source views, to determine if using a bridge table depends on the relation ship between dimension table and fact table. If it's a many-to-many relationship, it's better to use a bridge. Please refer to an article below:
SSAS/KIMBALL: modeling a N:M relation between dimensions (part I)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
How can this be achieved?

Tyr to do like this,
1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing assign the multiline container element name in the for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
&COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& --------> &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

Fact Table and Dimension Tables

Hi Experts, I'm creating custom InfoCubes for data coming from non-SAP source systems. I have two InfoCubes. Tha data is coming from like 10 tables. I have 10 DataSources created fo this and the data will be consolidated in Standard DSO before it will flow into 2 InfoCubes.
Now client wants to know before how much data will be there in InfoCubes in Fact table nad Dimension tables in both the InfoCubes. I have the total size of all the 10 tables from the sources given to me by the DBA. I wan not sure how I can convert that info for Fact table and Dimension table as I have not yet created these Infocubes.
Please help me with this on how I should address this.

hi,
The exact data will be hard to give however you can reach at a round figure in your case.
You are consolidating the data from the tables that means that there is relation between the tables. Arrive at a rough figure based on the relation and the activity you are performing while consolidating the data of the tables.
For example, let us say we want to combine data for sales order and deliveries in a DSO.
Let Sales order has 1000 records and Delivery has 2000 records. Both the tables have a common link (Sales Order).In DSO you are combining the data that means the data will be at the most granular level consist of Delivery data, so the maximum no of records which the consolidated DSO can have is 2000.

Arvind.

How to display sub table and NOT repeat each detail line?

I am going nuts trying to get this thing to display correctly, so I am someone can help me. I am trying to display a sub table (not subreport - tried that and it doesn't work) for detail records. For Example on an invoice items may have child items.
I am using Crystal 11
I have two tables iDetail and iSubDetail
My detail section looks like this:
D   iDetail.itemNum                              iDetail.price
           iSubDetail.itemNum
I have a Left Outer link from iDetail.itemNum --> iSubDetail.itemNum
I should see something like this:
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemOne
     subItemTwo
     subItemThree
     subItemFour
itemTwo                $25.00
itemThree              $30.00
etc...
Instead, my Crystal report displays this:
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemOne
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemTwo
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemThree
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemFour
itemTwo                $25.00
itemThree              $30.00
etc...
and of course the total for the invoice is wrong.
I have tried all the different links and a subreport, but I cannot get it to display correctly. Does anyone have any ideas??

I tried subreport but I can't figure out how to turn it OFF for non-relative items; from the above example data I would get with a subreport:
itemOne $50.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
itemTwo $25.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
itemThree $30.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
Looks great for itemOne, but I can't turn it off for itemTwo and itemThree. I have tried hiding the subreport if iDetail.itemNum =
iSubDetail.itemNumi, but if SubDetail table is accessed it repeats the iDetail record like the original post.
I tried hiding it in the subreport, but it does not know what the main report record is. I couldn't find anyway to PASS the itemNum from the main report to the subreport. If I could pass it as a variable, I could just hide the subreport when it is NE to iSubDetail.itemNum.
I kind of got it working by grouping the iDetail record by itemNum. However, the problem with that is when there really is multiple iDetail records, the invoice only shows one!! So, I would still like to find a better solution,
Thanks for your reply.

Join multiple fact tables and dimensions and use all tables in report issue

Hi,
I have a report requirements and need to use multiple fact tables and unconformed dimensions as described below
Fact table: F1,F2,F3
Dimensions tables: D1.....D9
F1:(joined to) D1,D2,D3,D4
F2::(joined to)D1,D2,D5,D6
F3::(joined to)D1,D2,D7,D8
D7::(joined to)D9,D8 (dimension D7 joined to two other dimensions D9 and D8
I'm trying to use columns from almost all the fact and dimension tables but getting "Unable to navigate requested expression. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings."
Repository is consistent and no errors and warnings.
How can I configure the repository to develop reports using all fact tables and dimensions?
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.
Thanks

Reg: Fact table and Dimension table in Data Warehousing -

Hi Experts,
I'm not exactly getting the difference between the criteria which decide how to create a Fact table and Dimension table.
This link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9362854/database-fact-table-and-dimension-table states :
Fact table contains data that can be aggregate.
Measures are aggregated data expressions (e. Sum of costs, Count of calls, ...)
Dimension contains data that is use to generate groups and filters.
This's fine but how does one decide which columns to consider for Fact table and which columns for Dimension table?
Any help is much appreciated.
Pardon me if this's not the correct place for this question. My first question in the new forum.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranit Biswas

But my main doubt was - what is the criteria to differentiate between columns for Fact tables and Dimension tables? How can one decide upon the design?
Columns of a fact table will often be 'scalar' attributes of the 'fact' data item. A dimension table will often be 'compound' attributes of a 'fact'.
Consider employee information. The EMPLOYEE table can be a fact table. It might have scalar attribute columns such as: DATE_HIRED, STATUS, EMPLOYEE_ID, and so on.
Other related information that can't be specified as a single attribute value would often be stored in a 'dimension' table: ADDRESS, PHONE_NUMBER.
Each address requires several columns to define it: ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, COUNTRY. And an employee might have several addresses: WORK_ADDRESS, HOME_ADDRESS. That address info would be stored in a 'dimension' table and only the primary key value of the address record would be stored in the EMPLOYEE 'fact' table.
Same with PHONE_NUMBER. Several columns are required to define a phone number and each employee might have several of them. The dimension tables are used to help 'normalize' the data in the employee 'fact' table.
And that EMPLOYEE table might also be a DIMENSION table for other FACT tables. A DEVELOPER table might have an EMPLOYEE_ID column with a value that points to a 'dimension' row in the EMPLOYEE dimension table.

Missing most detailed table for dimension tables

Hi ,
I am getting this following error
Business Model Core:
[nQSError: 15003] Missing most detailed table for dimension tables: [Dim - Customer,Dim - Account Hierarchy,Dim - Account Region Hierarchy,Fact - Fins - Period Days Count].
[nQSError: 15001] Could not load navigation space for subject area Core.
I got this error when I tried to configure # of Elapsed Days and # of Cumulative Elapsed Days by following way-
1. Using the Administration Tool, open OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd.
Configuration Steps for Controlling Your Data Set
Configuring Oracle Financial Analytics 5-51
The OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd file is located at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_
obisn\repository
2. In the Business Model and Mapping layer, go the logical table Fact - Fins - Period
Days Count.
3. Under Sources, select the Fact_W_DAY_D_PSFT logical table source.
4. Clear the Disabled option in the General tab and click OK.
5. Open the other two logical table sources, Fact_W_DAY_D_ORA and Fact_W_
DAY_D_PSFT, and select the Disabled option.
6. Add the "Fact - Fins - Period Days Count" and "Dim - Company" logical tables to
the Business Model Diagram. To do so, right-click the objects and select Business
Model Diagram, Selected Tables Only.
7. In the Business Model Diagram, create a new logical join from "Dim - Company"
to "Fact - Fins - Period Days Count." The direction of the foreign key should be
from the "Dim - Company" logical table to the "Fact - Fins - Period Days Count"
table. For example, on a (0,1):N cardinality join, "Dim - Company" will be on the
(0/1) side and "Fact - Fins - Period Days Count" will be on the N side.
8. Under the Fact - Fins - Period Days Count logical table, open the "# of Elapsed
Days" and "# of Cumulative Elapsed Days" metrics, one at a time.
9. Go to the Levels tab. For the Company dimension, the Logical Level is set to All.
Click the X button to remove it. Repeat until the Company dimension does not
have a Logical Level setting.
10. Make sure to check Global Consistency to ensure there are no errors, and then
save the RPD file.
Please help me to resolve.
Thanks,
Soumitro

Could you let me know how you resolved this. I am facing the same.

Is there a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!

Yes ! My Task Hierarchy has 3 dimension tables that form a hierarchy :Execution Plan -> Tasks -> Detail
All the 3 levels in the hierarchy are 3 different dimension tables.

Error editing flow dimension

Hello xperts, when i tryediting FLOW dimension in SAP BPC 7 NW, the following error triggers up:
Exception from HRESULT:0x800a03EC , , what could i check ?
thaks in advance

Hi,
This error might occur while procssing dimensions. You can implement the SAP Note: 1471431 for the same. Here are the excerpts:
"This problem was resolved by reinstalling the Primary Assembly Interop for Office 2007. This can be downloaded from the following Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=59daebaa-bed4-4282-a28c-b864d8bfa513
Do not use the interop.excel.dll which is in the BPC installation folder."
Hope this resolves your issue.

Make table flow

I have tried to follow the help to make a table flow, but something went wrong and the table is not flowing.
I would appriciate if someone could take a look at my file and see what went wrong?
It is the table on the bottom of the page that is supposed to flow if more than 1 row is needed.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I changed settings of your form to Dynamic form and preview version 9.0 Also I added button which is adds new rows to table and saved it as a dynamic form.

Fact table and dimension table

what is the difference b/w fact table and dimension table

A fact table contains numeric values and also contain composite key(i.e collection of foreign key) e.g.. sales and profit. Typically has two types of columns: those that contain facts and those that are foreign keys to dimension tables.
Dimension tables, also known as lookup or reference tables, contain the relatively static data in the warehouse. It contains character values E.g Customer_name,Customer_city.
Dimension tables store the information you normally use to contain queries. Dimension tables are usually textual and descriptive and you can use them as the row headers of the result set.

Sizeof fact table and dimension table

Hi Experts ,
Can you tell me how to measure the size of dimension table and fact tables and how to find the ratio of size of dimension table to the size of fact table.
Thanks in advance,
Thanks and Regards
Ram Kommineni

Hi,
The ratio of size of fact table to dimension table is ideally should be 10:1. That means the size of the dimension tables should be 10% of the size of the fact table. This serves better in terms of performance.
Whenever you load any cube, you can easily find out the number of records in fact table (E and F table) and the dimension tables. Based on that statistics you can determine the ratio of size in fact and dimension tables.
Hope this info helps you.
Regards,
Yogesh.

To find the size of the fact table and dimension table

Hi experts,
Can anyone plz tell me if i want to find size of the fact table and size of the dimension table to find cardinality and line item do we first build statistics then find size by transaction DB02 or any other method we have?
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
Please go to Tcode DB02 >Space>Table and Indexes.Give your table name or pattern (like /BIC/F* for gettinf all the Fact tables)
.This will give you sizes of all the table.
Also if you want to get list like TOP 30 Fact tables and Dimension Table.Please use TCode ST14, this will give a desired output with all the required details.
