TIME dimension no results
Hi all,
I have installed the BI apps 7.9.6.3 and runned the Human Resource of the PeopleSoft ETL. While I create new analytics , I found that most fields were correct except the Time Demension.
The issue is like below:
1) When I just drag one field of Time Dimension , there is no results in the result tab.
2)When I drag more than one field of Time Dimension, the time field value appears.
If you know the reason ,please help me. Thanks

Make sure you got data for the criteria and also disable the cache and see how its working..
Just in case check that implicit fact column is mapped to the subject area, can check with properties..
if you dont see any changes then give us more details..
If this helps pls mark

SPRUNCALCACCOUNT to copy PL results to BS problem with time dimension
Hi there,
I'm trying to copy PL result to BS account using account transformation with a simple configuration without informing source period. I'm running the datapackage informing the time dimension. it works fine for 2008.JAN but if we try with 2008.FEB we get same result. We have tried with several time periods allways getting 2008.JAN results copied to BS destination account.
Any ideas on what we're doing wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Regards, CarlosSorry guys, It's working fine.....it was my fault, we have a SP for carry-forward that has a little bug.

How to know on which time dimension level we are ?
Hello,
I would like to know is there a variable or a mean to know dynamically on which time dimension level we are in order to use that in a CASE WHEN clause ?
By using a sort of aggregation tables in which one of the column contains the name of the level, I could know on which level I am but I can't use that for drill down. What I mean :
Tab1 :
'Year' as typelevel, year
Tab2 :
'Month' as typelevel, year, month
In BMM, I have made one logical table with as Source tab1 and tab2 and as columns typelevel, year and month.
tab1 has in content column the year level
tab2 has in content column the month level.
So when in Answers I retrieve
typelevel, year
the result is : 'Year', 2008
and when I request : typelevel, year, month
the result is : 'Month', 2008, 1
But if I want to drill from year to month in order to have :
'Year', 2008
and then after drill
'Month', 2008, 1
it is impossible as a filter on typelevel='Year' is added on the month level, so it retrieves 0 columns.
If someone has an idea on how to do that it would be very great.
Thanks in advance for your help.Hi Supriya,
OOTB I think you can use SharePoint designer, but I would suggest custom code to iterate to all pages, and get the lists that are associated with these pages.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/633633/sharepoint-how-can-i-find-all-the-pages-that-host-a-particular-web-part
another one would be if those lists were never used and you can check for list with empty data.
I would use Get-SPLists to get all of the lists to check for zero items.

Problem with drill down in time dimension - OBIEE 11G
Hello There,
I have a problem with drill down in time dimension. The hierarchy for time dimension is " Fiscal Year---> Fiscal Quarter---> Month(Name)--->Date". When I select a Time dimension and click results its getting opened in a Pivot table view. The problem here is, when I click the "Total" its getting drilled down to Year ---> Quarter but when I click on "+ sign next to quarter" it should drill down to month for that particular quarter for that particular year but its drilling down to month for that particular quarter for all years.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Harry.1.) Congrats for resurrecting a year-old thread.
2.) Your answer is here: "Check the level key of the quarter level...it should include both quarter and year columns. Since a specific quarter occurs every year, quarter column alone can't be used as the level key." -
Time Dimension, i don´t bind the fact dimension and the time dimension
Well i don´t know why my fact table don´t bind with the time dimension, i create a time table in the data base and change the key to int32 for example year(date)*10000+month(date)*100+day(date), and create to similar in the fact table, and
this attributes binding, when i process the dimension all result without problems, after i process the cube and all result without problems, but when i try to deployment the browser, the measures in all years are equals, please help meHi franciscofelipe,
According to your description, you find the measures shows all same value for all years of time dimension. Right?
In this scenario, since your change the key of your time table into an integer, when pulling this dimension out in Browser, the measure will only regards those members as numeric value instead of date so that is will show an aggregate value. Even
all the members are displayed properly in your dimension. So please change the attribute type into appropriate date type.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Can anyone tell me how to obtain a french dimension from the dimension wizard. Using OWB 10.2.0.36, repository 10.2.0.4, oracle database 10.2 R2. Everything is set to ca_FR(canadian french), the gui for OWB is in french but when I create a time dimension the columns namaes are in english (that is not the problem since Ican change them) but the results are also in english, like the days and months names. If i do «select wb_day_name(sysdate) from dual;» in my target schema the result are in french though. What am I missing here, can anyone help.
Many thanksHi Oleg
Here they are
NAME TYPE VALUE
nls_calendar string
nls_comp string
nls_currency string
nls_date_format string
nls_date_language string

Time Dimension displays End_Date instead of Long_Description in Analysis
I am importing an analytical workspace into a BI repository. At first I was doing it by exporting it from AWM (wherein it was built) with its Export to OBIEE plugin--doing this resulted in the Time dimension properly displaying its Long Description field in an analysis in BI.
Now I am trying to import it into BI following the instructions in the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Developer's Guide (pg. 315 - pg.324). However, instead of displaying the Long Description field in an analysis, it displays the End Date field for all Time Levels. Is there something in the Admin Tool that sets what to display for a given Level?Okay, I finally stumbled on the answer.
Under the Presentation Layer -> Time Dimension -> Time Hierarchy, I needed to double-click on every Level and go to the Display Columns tab and increment Long Description to the top in order for it to display the Long Description. -
Hi experts!
I have a Time dimension with next members:
Year--> INT-----> Exemple: 2011
Quarter-> Char--> Exemple: Q1/11
Month-> Char --> Exemple: January
Day-> Char ------> Exemple: 1 January
Date-> Date ---> Exemple: 01/01/2011
When I try to get a report in answers I don't see all members. I have values in all members of year and only a few rows.
I add in answers all columns and a measure...
I add a picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/580/timeak.jpg/
Any help to see all rows with value??http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/862/acumq.jpg/
I have detected strange error doing a report.
My problem is about Cumulative Year value, if I have a report with Year, Month and Measure Cumulative Value I have good results...but If I add member of dimension DAY I have wrong values...
TIME DIMENSION has fourth herarchies: YEAR->Quarter->Month->Day
Cumulative Value is: TODATE(Measure Periodic, Year)
Any help? -
Display all dates between date range (Time Dimension left outer join Fact)
All,
I have done some searching around this issue but within all the posts regarding date variables, date prompts and date filtering I haven't seen one exactly answering my issue (maybe they are and I just dont have my head around it correctly yet).
My report requirement is to allow a user to select a start day and an end day. The report should show all activity between those two days - AND display 0/null on days where there is no activity. That second part is where I am getting hung up.
The tables in question are:
TimeDim
EventFact
CustomerDim
My BMM is setup as follows:
TimeDim left outer join EventFact
CustomerDim inner join EventFact
If I run a report selecting DAY from TimeDim and a measure1 from EventFact with day range 1/1/2010 - 12/31/2010 .. I get a record for every day and it looks perfect because of the left outer join between TimeDim and CustomerDim.
But .. if I add in a field from CustomerDim, select TimeDim.DAY, CustomerDim.CUSTNAME, EventFact.MEASURE1, OBIEE only returns records for the days that have EventFact records.
This is due to the fact that the TimeDim is still outer joined into EventFact but adding in CustomerDim makes OBIEE setup an inner join between those tables which then causes only data to be returned where EventFact data exists.
There is a way around this in this simple case and that is to define the relationship between CustomerDim and EventFact as an outer join as well. This will give the desired effect (but an outer join between these two tables is not the true relationship) and as I add additional dimensions and add additional logical sources to a single dimension in the BMM it gets complicated and messy.
Ive also messed with setting the driving table in the relationship, etc.. but it has not given the desired effect.
Has anyone ever encountered the need to force display all dates within a specfied range with a fact table that may not have an entry for every date?
Thanks in advance.

Edited by: user_K on Apr 27, 2010 11:32 AMIt worked!!!* Even my time drill downs and date based filtering still work!
That is awesome. Never would have thought of that intuitively.
Now, just need a little help understanding how it works. When I run my report and check the logs I can see that two queries are issued:
Query 1: Joins the fact table to all the associated dimensions. I even changed all the relationships to inner joins (which is what they truly are). And calculates the original measure. If I copy and paste this query into sql developer it runs fine but only returns those rows that joined to the time dimension - which is what was happening before. It is correct but I wanted a record for every time dimension record.
Query 2: Looks like the following:
select sum(0)
from timedim
where date between <dateprompt1> and <dateprompt2>
group by month *<--* this is the time dimension level specified in Query 1, so it knows to aggregate to the month level as was done in query 1
Final Question: So what is OBIEE doing ultimately, does it issue these two requests and then perform a full outer join or something to bring them together? I couldn't see anywhere in the log a complete query that I could just run to see a similar result that I was getting in Answers.
Thanks for all the help .. Id give more points if I could.

Hello all
I think I have a simple requirement but I don't how it works :
I have some dimensions and a fact tables. In my fact table, I have 2 foreign key on my time dimension.
When I import my tables and check consistency, I have errors : "duplicate foreign key. Delete it" (don't remember full sentence)
That is the first point that I don't understand. Why can I not have more than 1 foreign key ?
The second point is how to do to have 2 time dimensions. In the BMM, I duplicate my time dimension. But which join do I choose ? I tested with foreign key and complex join (and 2 or 1 foreign keys in physical) and I always have the same (wrong) result.
So can anyone explain me how to configure both physical and BMM joins to use a dimension more than 1 time (without create a new physical dimension of course)
ThanksHi,
Create Alias tables (since they are playing different roles) for time dimension in the Physical layer and join that with your fact using physical joins.
After Importing to physical layer, if duplicate keys exists, delete the duplicate keys.
In this scenario two keys will be exist on the fact for the time dimension, delete those and create the joins between the aliases.
Thanks,

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 passagecan 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

Macro help on selectin crieteria with time dimension to the user
Hi Experts,
I have some Macro requirement in my input schedule.
We are preparing Head Count Planning report and the time dimension is selected for next five years and category is Budget.
Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015).
I have heard that it can be achieved through Macro. Can some one please provide a piece of Macro sample so that I can make the changes according to my requirement.
Please see the below report format (Time Dimension details).Hi Satish,
What macro are you talking about?
If it's symmetric report then you use context to select YYYY.TOTAL and expand to base members.
If it's asymmetric report then use: Static report in BPC NW 10
"Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015)."
If you want to have report for 5 years and the user select first year with context - then Static report in BPC NW 10
You have to generate TIME members by Excel formula:
Example:
in A10 you have formula =EPMContextMember("ConnName";"TIME"), resulting in 2015.01
Then in column axis you can use LEFT($A$10,4)&".02", LEFT($A$10,4)&".03" etc. for the first year
LEFT($A$10,4)+1&".02",... for the second year

Assigning time dimension in update rule
Hi
I have a fundamental question -
What exactly is meant by creating a time dimension on a cube based on a particular date (eg- Received date)?
We have billing data coming into the cube.. so what exactly happens when you say the billing data should be based on Received date?
Should I assign the billing amount KF to Received date time characteristic in the update rule? What does it do with the data - how does it bucket it?
Also, what does it mean when you say assign calendar month to say, Load date?
Thanks
Riya.Hi Riya
Let me take your question step by step and club similar questions together
1) what does it mean when you say assign calendar month to say, Load date
Well this means that you need to put a routine for 0CALMONTH.
RESULT = sy-datum+4(2).
sy-datum would internally come as system date in the form of 20080327.So this little routine will pick 03.
2) What exactly is meant by creating a time dimension on a cube based on a particular date (eg- Received date)?
This is similar to saying billing data should be based on Received date .
Well this means that all time charecteristics like 0calday,0calmonth,0calweek etc need to be mapped to Recieved Date.This is how data will get bucketed(vitual bucketing) - for example you use 0calmonth so all orders with recieving date this month will be bucketed today and will show up in ur query if u have a variable for getting data for this month.
Automatic time conversion will be done(in BI 7.0 this happens for both DSO and Cube.Perhaps in 3.5 you need to use a formula for the ODS).
Do not map any key-figure to Received date time characteristic .You should get Received date directly from Data-source.
I hope this helps you to understand this.

Populte "holiday" column of time dimension
hi,
i am creating time dimension.
I want to populate the time dimension table.
How do i populate the "holiday column".
structure of my table is:
create table schema_owner.dimension_time (
calendar_date date,
day_of_year_number number,
day_of_week varchar2(9), -- day name.
week_number number, -- accounting week number(also known as period).
week_ending date, -- ends on friday.
accounting_month_end date, -- last friday of month.
calendar_month_end date, -- last day of month.
month_day_number number, -- day of month.
month varchar2(9), -- month name.
month_number number, -- number of month in year.
quarter_number number, -- ends on accounting month end.
holiday varchar(1) -- flag 'Y' is holiday, 'N' is no holiday.
) tablespace time_data ;
i am not able to populate the "holiday" column.
Please help me on this .Hi,
You can use a CASE expression to return one thing for Sundays, and something else for every other day, like this:
CASE
WHEN TO_CHAR ( sd + rn
, 'fmDay'
, 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH' -- If necessary
) = 'Sunday'
THEN 'Holiday'
ELSE 'Work Day' -- or NULL
ENDIf you want to include other holidays, either fixed dates (such as Juanaury 1) or variable dates (such as the 4th Thursday in November), then see this thread:
Re: retrieving 7 business days
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables, and also post the results you want from that data.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as INSERT, the sample data will be the contents of the table(s) before the DML, and the results will be state of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using. -
Disaggregate Periodic Data to Weekly Data (Modeling Time Dimension)
Hi,
We are using BPC MS Version 7.0. Our users plan at period level and I need to disaggregate periodic data to weekly data by looking up weeks from Time Dimension.
Suppose if 2009.Jan has 4 weeks I need the following result
Periodic Data
2009.Jan Acct1 1000$
Weekly Data
2009.Jan Wk1 Acct1 250$
2009.Jan Wk2 Acct1 250$
2009.Jan Wk3 Acct1 250$
2009.Jan Wk4 Acct1 250$
Can we model Time Dimension with two hiearchies to achieves this?
Which is best way to dissaggrate? (Stored Proc or SSIS Pacakge or Script Logic) ?
Thanks
RajAn easy way to achieve this feature is to have the time dimension be weekly and do the spread on the input schedules before sending.
There would be two EVDREs (one refresh only of monthly data and the other send only of weekly data). The data range of the monthly EVDRE would be input and where the user enters data. The data range of the weekly EVDRE would be formulas (pointing to the monthly data and doing the correct division based on number of weeks in a month). The user is inputting monthly data, but the schedule is sending the weekly values.
The allocation will work as well, but I would suggest to create a weekly input node under each month to capture the monthly value and then spread to the weekly members.
