Transportation issue: Dimension table

Hi
While transporting an infocube i am getting following error( RC#8).
Key field /BIC/EABC-KEY_ABC05 missing. Specify maintenance status 'read only'.
View /BIC/VABCF could not be activated
This infocube was added with a new character and assigned to a newly created dimension.
where ABC is my cube name and ABC05 is the dimension.
Any help on this?
Rgds,
Ilyas

Hi,
Is your Cube in Active version, when you Transporting?
When you adding new Fields, you have to activate update rules and also map the fields.If not you have to write routine for that particular Field.

Issue using one 2 Fact tables with one dimension Table.

Hi,
I have 1 Dimension table X and 2 Fact tables A and B
X is joined to Both A and B for Loan Amount ( with A) and for colleatral amount (with B) when I am selecting the X.Product_Name, A.Loan_Amt, B.Collateral Amount, it is giving an error message
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 15018] Incorrectly defined logical table source (for fact table EIP Collateral FACT) does not contain mapping for [EIP Reporting FACT.PD ID]. (HY000)
Any clues???
Is there a Inner or Outer join which needs to be created or set in the RPD to get the desired results???

Ok..
I have one table which is Porfolio Details which has Portfolio name, Product Category , Product Name, Product ID, Product sources code.- This is my Dimension table.
I have another 2 set of fact tables : EIP Reporting FACT and EIP Collateral FACT..
These two tables are joined to Portfolio Details table.
EIP Reprting FACT gives portfolio wise Loan Amount
and EIP Collateral FACT gives Portfolio wise Collateral Amount details for same set of customer..
Now, I am selecting Portfolio Name, Product Category, Product Name,SUM( EIP Reporting FACT.LOAN_AMOUNT), SUM(EIP Collaetral FACT.Collateral_Amt) in a report
Now, on selecting these columns I am getting that error message which is related to mapping.
If I take any column from Portfolio details table and any column from EIP Reporting FACT- It works.
If I take any column from Portfolio details table and any column from EIP Colletral FACT- It works.
But if I take any column from portfolio table and columns from both FACT tables it gives mapping error...
Hope I am able to explain the issue in a better way now..

One Dimension Table Deletion issue

Dear Guru's
Query run's very long time to execute in prod system
In our production system, we have a Cube in which one dimension(Eg:- /BIC/PC_17 which show 38% when i run report SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS ). Due to the performance issue of the Query, i am thinking to delete data from SE11 only for this dim table...What will happen with the Factable?
Since Dim table has reference to Factable...Is it correct if i delete the entries for this Dimension table for the perfomance issue?
PLease suggest me i am very much confused, also this is a prod system....so pls give me only good answers..no gess please...
Also ....suppose if this Dim17 is not used in Query Does it make sense to delete entries from this Dim 17 for Query performance, since this exist's in cube...
Thanks in adv,
Dev

Hi,
you should not do that. In no case. There are some ways to speed up a query. Use them: e.g. building aggregates, running rsrv to check the cube and possibly have unused entries of dimensions deleted, compress the cube....

Urgent-Issue in the Dimension tables

Hi Experts,
Question1:
I have a flat file load to a cube.this flat file has 1.5 mil records.One of the dimension created has a 2 dates(original date & current date) assigned.
When i look at dimension table for # entries is 30million.And when i look at the table i see the sids as 0,0 ( for 2 dates) and dim id's being creted.
When i did a search on the dimension table with current date & original date as not equal to 0.I see only 76,000 records.
Question 2:
we have an ODS which loads to the cube.In the process chain we have program that deletes the data in ods which does not match some conditions and then loads it tot he cube.
My question is,since we are not deleting contents from the cube and reloading it from the ODS(Full update).Will i not be seeing same records coming in with Full update which get agrregated in the cube.
Ex: i have a record in ODS.
A   X Z 100 1000
After full update to the cube,the cube would have
A   X Z 100 1000
When i run the process chain and data is dleeted from ODS on some condition and i still have hte same record in ODS and when this loads into cube wont this be aggregated with the previous record.
A X   Z 200 2000
Would appreciate,if anyone could explain if i am missing anything.

Hello,
If you can't see the SID means you have not loaded the master data, that why there is no reference to the SID table and the values are 0.
InfoCube by default will have aggregated values, when there are duplicate records on the Keyfigures will be aggregated.
For example I have a Material Dimension and Customer Dimension
In the fact table, it will be like this
DIM1     DIM2    KF1   KF2
Mat001 Cust1 100    10
Mat001 Cust2 200    5
for this there will be 1 entry in Material DIM table for Mat001 and 2 entries for Customer DIM table for Customer Cust1 and Cust2.
Material Dimension
DIM ID    SID
1             Mat001 (Here it will be SID from Material Master)
Customer Dimension
1             Cust1 (Here it will be SID from Customer Master)
2             Cust2 (Here it will be SID from Customer Master)
Note : DIM ID is the combination of one or more SID in the dimension table.
So the exact fact table will look like
MATDIM    CUSDIM       AMT      QTY
1               1                  100        10
1               2                  200        5
If you load the data again with same characteristics values then the key figure will be aggregated
Example if you load
Mat001 Cust2 25 5
then the fact table will not have a new entry instead the it will aggregates and looks like (bolded one)
MATDIM    CUSDIM       AMT      QTY
1               1                  100        10
1               2                  220        10
Hope its clear
thanks

Change dimension tables for an infocube

hello all,
we have an existing cube where a few of the dimension tables are quite big compared to size of fact table. we understand enough about getting the correct dimension table sizes, our question revolves around the existing cube.
meaning, when we make the dimension table changes in dev and transport to val, will the transport be successful with data in the cube (so it will be stored in a format of old dimension table structure)? do we have to dump the cube before transport and then reload after transport successful?
thanks so much!

In Answers am seeing "Folder is Empty" for Logical Fact and Dimension Table

Hi All,
Am working on OBIEE Answers, on of sudden when i clicked on Logical Fact table it showed me as "folder is empty". I restarted all the services and then tried still showing same for Logical Fact and Dimension tables but am able to see all my reports in Shared Folders. I restarted the machine too but no change. Please help me out to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Consistency Warning: [39008] Logical dimension table ... has a source ...

Hi and many thinks for reading,
I have a problem (which is quite common as I saw, though I could'nt find a solution which resolves my issue yet) with the consistency.
My physical layer looks like this:
Table_A
Table_B
Table_C
Table_D
Table_E
In the Business Model I have just the same tables and the following joins in the Logical Table Diagram:
Table_A -> Table_B
Table_C -> Table_A
Table_D -> Table_A
Table_E -> Table_A
The consistency check is delivering the following two warnings:
Warning
Logical Table Source
Table_A
[39008] Logical dimension table Table_A has a source Table_A that does not join to any fact source.
Warning
Logical Table Source
Table_B
[39008] Logical dimension table Table_B has a source Table_B that does not join to any fact source.
While working in BI answers I manage to retrieve all data from Tables C, D, E. But for tables A and B I can retrieve just the columns which are defined in the join Table_A->Table_B. All other columns deliver the following error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: Table_A.Column_X. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000)
If i retrieve one Column from Table_A and one from Table_E, I have the following error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

(yes its Table_B not a)
I would like to fix this errors but am not sure where the problem is hidden.
Any help is kindly appreciated.

Hi Goran,
thanks for you help.
I tried to create the BMM in the two way but, it doesn't work out neither way. The Administration tool is recognizing the repository as consistent, thought it has some warnings, but in BI Answers I cant retrieve even a single column from one table.
I am also not sure, how does it work, that you just add TableB to the logical TableA, who would the programm know which rows belong together? I assume one must establish a logical connection between TableA and TableB to make it compatible?
About my tables:
Actually TableA, TableB and TableC are recognized dimensions (white) and TableD and TableE are recognized as facts (yellow) in the Administration tool. Though I dont agree with this assignment. TableA is definitly a fact table (it is also the center of the star schema) while the other tables are the dimension tables. Not sure how the Administration tool is distinguishing between facts and dimensions...
Here are my warnings:
BUSINESS MODEL TAB: (with two logical tables)
[39008] Logical dimension table TableA has a source TableA that does not join to any fact source.
[39008] Logical dimension table TableA has a source TableB that does not join to any fact source.

[39008] Logical dimension table LT2 has a source TableD that does not join to any fact source.

[39008] Logical dimension table has a source that does not join to any fact

Dear reader,
After deleting a fact table from my physical layer and deleting it from my business model I'm getting an error: [39008] Logical dimension table TABLE X has a source TABLE X that does not join to any fact source. I do have an other fact table in the same physical model and in the same business model wich is joined to TABLE X both in the physical and business model.
I cannot figure out why I'm getting this error, even after deleting all joins and rebuilding the joins I'm getting this error. When I look into the "Joins Manager" these joins both in physical as well as logical model do exist, but with consistency check it warns me about [39008] blabla. When I ignore the warning and go to answers and try to show TABLE X (not fact, but dim) it gives me the following error.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

SQL Issued: SELECT TABLE X.column X saw_0 FROM subject area ORDER BY saw_0
There is one *"special"* thing about this join. It is a complex join in the physical layer, because I need to do a between on dates and a smaller or equal than current date like this example dim.date between fact.date_begin and fact.date_end and dim.date <= current_date. In the business model I've got another complex join
Any help is kindly appreciated!

Hi,
Have you specified the Content level of the Fact table and mapped it with the dimension in question? Ideally this should be done by default since one of the main features of the Oracle BI is its ability to determine which source to use and specifying content level is one of the main ways to achieve this.
Another quick thing that you might try is creating a dimension (hierarchy) in case it is not already present. I had a similar issue few days back and the warning was miraculously gone by doing this.

None of the dimension tables are compatible with the query request

Hi,
i am experiencing the below error while querying columns alone from employee dimension (w_employee_d) in workforce profile SA. There is only one column in my report which is employee number coming from employee dimension. when i query other information like job, region, location etc i am not getting any error. the below error appears only when querying columns from employee dimension. the content tab level for the LTS of employee dimension is set to employee detail.

hi user582149,
It is difficult to answer you question with such a little amount of details. Could you specify:
- how many facts/dimensions are you using in the query?
- what is the structure of your Business Model?
- which version of OBI are you using?
- what does your log say?
I hope to tell you more having the information above

Event trigger on transport of ABAP table entries

Hi Experts,
I have an issue with respect to the scenario mentioned.
Scenario is that I have a Z-table in Dev which is maintained through SM30 once the data is saved ,the event"02 After saving the data in the database" ,I have linked a include program to this event which triggers a abap proxy to send data to SAP PI Java stack cache,this scenario is used in value mapping replication from Z-table.
The problem is the QA and PRD Client has status 'not modifiable'.
So can these Z-table entries when transported to QA or PRD ,trigger an event which can call my proxy program to send the full load to the SAP PI system.
Thanks
-Alok

Hi I can try to give the information for the z-table entries to be transported to QA or Prod environment?
Ans) Yes, we can transport these Z-table entries to the the QA and Prod system environment, but the z table 'devliery and maintenance" table defines the technical attributes for this Z-table.
in the delivery and maintenance tab, you can define the deliver class. Suppose if your delivery class type is C, G, E, S: The data records of the table are copied to the target client.
Hope this information can be useful.
thanks

Having more LTSs in logical dimension table hit the query performance?

Hi,
We have a logical table having around 19 LTSs. Having more LTSs in logical dimension table hit the query performance?
Thanks,
Anilesh

Hi Anilesh,
Its kind of both YES and NO. Here is why...
NO:
LTS are supposed to give BI Server an optimistic and logical way to retrieve the data. So, having more Optimistic LTS might help the BI Server with some good options tailored to a variety of analysis requests.
YES:
Many times, we have to bring in multiple physical tables as a part of single LTS (Mostly when the physical model is a snowflake) which might cause performance issues. Say there is a LTS with two tables "A" and "B", but for a ad-hoc analysis just on columns in "A", the query would still include the join with table "B" if this LTS is being used. We might want to avoid this kind of situations with multiple LTS each for a table and one for both of them.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Fact table without dimension table

is it possible to build a fact table without any joining dimension table?
I found that in this case an error is issued.
thanks !!

Yes, you can but you must create a fake join with another table.
OBIEE ask always in the Business Model Layer minimum a fact table and a dimension.
In the presentation layer, you drag only the fact table column and it will work.

Distinct Count Measure on Dimension table via Bridge table.

Hi Team,
I have Dim_Devices Table, which is linked to other dimension like Dim_User and Dim_City.
All these table has many to many relationship defined in bridge table i.e. B_Devices_User_City using referential keys.
I want to derive measure such as
Select Count(Dim_Devices[Device_Id])
where Dim_Devices.Validity_End_Date is null
Note : Device_Id and Validity_End_Date are present in Same Dim_Devices Dimension Table.
Could you please help me to define cube structure and how to create such measure out of dim_table.

Hi Charlie,
Now, I have define DistinctCount Agreegation on Dim_Devices table which will use reference Relationship on B_Devices_User_City. My Count is correct.
But, I came across one more issue, i.e. From Processed and deployed cube, I am trying to create off-line Cube/or Global Cube (I have given syntax below) which is for limited set of dimensions and measures, I found that It shows me error due
to such relationship.
Does it mean that, For Global Cube, Can't we use DistinctCount/Count agreegation?
CREATE
GLOBAL CUBE [Device OLAP_Cube_1_3]
Storage
'C:\Exportcube.cub'
FROM [Device DATA CUBE]
-- Measures
-- Cube

Question on Dimension Table

When we delete a request on a InfoCube, the information not necessary on the Dimension Table does not canceled. For example if we delete all the data about year 2003 on a InfoCube, the information about 2003 continuous to alive on time dimension table.
Do you know if exists a program or some method to delete the information from the Dimension Table not used on FACTTABLE?
Best regards,
Nicola Commari

Nicola,
Navigate to transaction RSRV, there exists a test which you can run
"Entries not Used in the Dimension of a cube" which will help you repair the issue you are currently experiencing.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Fact columns in dimension table

In OBIEE, Can we use a fact column in related dimension table in case this column is just an description column? Yup I know that use fact columns in fact and dimension in dimension.. But what exactly will be issue if we do this? I observed it in one model.. No data connection was there to test..

Hi Hari,
Why can't you create two tables in BMM one is as FACt and DIM and place all description columns in dim and measures in fact?
this way you would achieve Star Schema in BMM
