Unable to create dimension in Analytic Workspace manager

Hi all,
I am trying to create dimension using Analytic Workspace Manager(AWM) and it throws the following error.
*"The transaction is not committable: "java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Missing XML attribute: Attribute for tag: <Metadata><StandardDimension><Organization><AWPrimaryDimensionOrganization><AttributeOrganization>"*
Kindly share your comments.
I am using Oracle 11g r1 client to connect with oracle 11g R2 database.
Please let me know the steps to create a OLAP cube using AWM
Regards
Mukhil

It sounds like a mismatch between an old version of AWM and a new version of the server. Please try a more recent version of AWM.

Creating a DWMQY DIMENSION using Analytic Workspace Manager

Hi everyone,
I need some help creating a "time aware" (DAY, WEEK, MONTH, QUARTER, and YEAR) dimension using Analytic Workspace Manager.
Let me give you some background. I'm coming from a traditional "Oracle Express" OLAP background where all our data is stored in cubes and these are defined, populated and operated on using OLAP DML, there is no SQL or traditional relational tables involved.
I now want to pull data from relational tables into some OLAP cubes and am using Analytic Workspace Manager to do this (maybe this is not the best way?)
Let me explain what I'm trying to achieve. In OLAP worksheet I can type the following DML commands:
DEFINE MY_DAY DIMENSION DAY
MAINTAIN MY_DAY ADD TODAY '01JAN2011'
What this will do is create a "day dimension" and will populate it with values for each and every day between 1st Jan 2011 and today. It will be fully "time aware" and thus you can use date functions such as DAYOF to limit the MY_DAY dimension to all the Fridays etc. Similarly if I define a "month dimension" there will be an automatic implicit relationship between these two dimensions, this relationship and time aware cleverness is built into Oracle.
However, a dimension defined using DML commands (and indeed all objects created using DML language) is not visible in Analytic Workspace Manager (as there is no metadata for them?) and for the life of me I cannot work out how to create such a dimension using AWM. If I create a "Time Dimension" then, as far as I can tell, this is not a proper time dimension but merely a text dimension and I, presume, I have to teach it time awareness.
Can anyone help me? I have no issues creating, and populating cubes from relational tables using Analytic Workspace Manager, the only issue I have is creating a "proper" time aware dimension.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Ian.

When a dimension is of type "TIME" in AWM, then for each member of that dimension, you need END_DATE and TIMESPAN attributes in addition to the key column and description column.
So in your case, if there are 5 levels: DAY->WEEK->MONTH->QTR->YEAR
then you will need atleast 15 columns in your source sql table/view
or 20 columns if you have separate column for description.
For example the columns in your source table/view could be:
DAY_ID,
DAY_DESC,
DAY_END_DATE, (which will be that day's date)
DAY_TIMESPAN, (which will be 1)
WEEK_ID,
WEEK_DESC,
WEEK_END_DATE,
WEEK_TIMESPAN,
MONTH_ID,
MONTH_DESC,
MONTH_END_DATE,
MONTH_TIMESPAN,
QTR_ID,
QTR_DESC,
QTR_END_DATE,
QTR_TIMESPAN,
YEAR_ID,
YEAR_DESC,
YEAR_END_DATE,
YEAR_TIMESPAN
Just "map" this table/view to the 5-level time dimension in AWM.
NOTE that behind-the-scenes lot of useful structures are automatically defined to support time-series measures,
and there are lot of calculation templates available also.
Since you came from Express background, I have to say that try to use new OLAP Expression Syntax when creating calculated measures instead of OLAP DML.
Its very rare these days that we need OLAP DML.

Can you check if these 3 files exist in %SystemRoot%\system32:
- JavaAccessBridge.dll
- WindowsAccessBridge.dll
- JAWTAccessBridge.dll
These are libraries for JAWS (for screen readers). Not sure where you can download these libraries from but this might be the issue.
Hope this helps

Invisible structure in Analytic Workspace Manager after importing from EIF

Hello,
I got problem with migration OFA structure (6.3.4) to Oracle OLAP. My Oracle Database is 11.2 Enterprise Edition
1. I've exported OFA database do eif file.
2. I've created user in Oracle database, grant olap_user and created directory
3. I installed Analytic Workspace Manager 11.2.0.3.0A
4. After connection on Analytic Workspaces I run 'Create Analytic Workspace from EIF file ...' -> The import was succeeded
Here is the problem - there is no visible imported structure in the tree under Analytic Workspaces. I think that structures were properly imported. That Analytic Workspace is in the sql results:
select dbal.owner||'.'||substr(dbal.table_name,4) awname, sum(dbas.bytes)/1024/1024 as mb, dbas.tablespace_name from dba_lobs dbal, dba_segments dbas where dbal.column_name = 'AWLOB' and dbal.segment_name = dbas.segment_name group by dbal.owner, dbal.table_name, dbas.tablespace_name order by dbal.owner, dbal.table_name
I've also tried using Analytic Workspace Manager Worksheet.
AW CREATE OFA_TEST
IMPORT ALL FROM EIF FILE 'c/baza.eif' DATA DFNS
UPDATE
COMMIT
The results are the same :(
What else should be done ? can anyone pls help me on this??
Grzegorz

Grzegorz,
OFA to OLAP is not an easy thing if you are trying to do it by hand. That is why we built an OFA conversion utility into our product. Example time for Full OFA to OLAP/Escendo conversion is about three days for an OFA system of 300-400Gb, including data, processes (Solves) reports, saved selections etc.)
Part of the problem is that OFA is an application which uses a ton of back end catalogs which drive everything. It also makes very heavy use of saved selections internally which makes straight export and import tough.
The overall process is that all of the visible structures need to be created within OLAP so that they are visible. We support both 'public' (ergo visible, metadata based) objects as well as 'back end' structures which are not visible to the front end. If you need business logic translated over it can get complicated to do by hand as well, since things don't map directly into the way Oracle does things in AWM now, due to some differences between the architectures.
One of the great things about putting your OFA into OLAP is that everything becomes available to any standard SQL reporting application.
Our IDE is a full mulit-developer environment which allows multiple developers to work even within the same AW, for any operation, including creation of dimensions, measures etc. as well as the editing of code in programs & models.
Are you just trying to get the data in? or are you wanting to use the system like you would use OFA?

ETL with OWB and Workspace Manager with Analytic Workspace Manager?

I already created my dimensions and cubes with "warehouse builder", as a tables, so can I map them in the dimensions and cubes defined with "analytic workspace manager?
please somone help, becasue I can't found this information on a manual "OLAP application's developers guide".
also, whichis the manual that I have to follow to create things in AWM? i think is this that I use "OLAP application's developers guide"
Someone can tell me something?
Thanks.

Hi,
I.m using OWB 10.1.0.4.0 and choosing "Project" then "Metadata Export" and finally "Bridge" I can lanch a wizard that allow me to choose between 3 kind of export.
If you choose OLAP the wizard will ask you which collection of metadata to export and other options, after succesfully running this wizard (which is not so easy) you can open the AWM and see the export of your dimesion and cube iside an AW.
I'm finding lots of problems using this feature due to the limited options I can set to the cube and the dimension (type of aggregations, calculated measures, limit on the number of measures in the cube, etc.).
Waiting for the new OWB Paris if you can post your experience it will be very appreciated.
Good luck,
Franco

Analytic Workspace Manager vs Warehouse Builder

When is it best to use Analytic Workspace Manager over Warehouse Builder to create the OLAP? Please advise.

We are using OWB to create OLAP because you have your metadata properly defined in the design repository of OWB from where you can deploy to different databases and schemas. We are also using OWB to create tables and other relational objects instead of using SQL Developer or Toad to do so.
Nevertheless there are some restrictions when using OWB: You cannot create programs with OWB (e.g. for limiting access to certain objects), not all aggregation operators are supported (e.g. the weighted aggregation operators like WSUM are not supported by OWB), you cannot create models, ...
If you come to these restrictions you could write "after-deployment scripts", i.e. you deploy your dimensions and cubes from OWB and let the scripts do what you could not model with OWB.
Hope this helps!

Analytic Workspace Manager 9.2.0.4

Hi
When I attempt to create a workspace in Analytic Workspace Manager an error message is displayed saying that the database I am using is not a 9.2.0.2 compatible database and the DBMS_AWM package cannot be found.
I have, however, patched my database to 9.2.0.5. Is Analytic Workspace Manager version 9.0.4 incompatible with Oracle DB version 9.2.0.5?
My environment setup is as follows:
Analytic Workspace Manager (9.2.0.4)
Oracle DB 9i Rel 2 (9.2.0.5)
Windows XP Professional SP 2.
Thanks
Ryan

AWM 9.2.0.4.1 is forward compatible on the 9.2 code stream. It works with the current 9.2.0.5.0 and 9.2.0.6 patch sets. My guess is that the Post Installation steps for the 9.2.0.5.0 patch set were not performed. For example, did the catpatch.sql script run? A lot of people overlook this required step in the readme.
In order to check to see if your patch set was installed correctly, perform the following query:
SQL> select comp_name, version, status from dba_registry;
You should see 9.2.0.5 and VALID for the OLAP components.

Analytic Workspace Manager 10.2.0.1.0A available

Analytic Workspace Manager 10.2.0.1.0A is now available. You can find it on MetaLink as PS# 4656244 or OTN at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/index.html.
What is AWM 10.2.0.1.0A? It is a patched, stand-alone client that supercedes the version found on the Oracle Database Client CD for 10gR2.
What's the background on AWM 10.2.0.1.0A? It was initially created to fix issues while connecting to Oracle OLAP 10.1.0.4.0 but over time picked up some other fixes.
Which Oracle OLAP versions does AWM 10.2.0.1.0A work with? It works with Oracle OLAP 10.1.0.4.0 and above on the Oracle Database 10gR1 code stream and Oracle Database 10.2.0.1.0.
Does AWM 10.2.0.1.0A require a corresponding Oracle OLAP 'A' patch to the database? No
Is there scheduled an AWM 10.1.0.5 or any other future 10gR1 version? No, AWM 10.1.0.4 users can move to AWM 10.2.0.1.0A.

Analytic Workspace Manager

Hi
I am completely new to Oracle OLAP.
I have installed Oracle 10g(10.1.0.2) with OLAP option enabled.
I would like to create some cubes using Analytic Workspace manager. When I look into Oracle HomeIntegrated Management Tools, I wouldn’t find Analytic Workspace manager.
Do I need to install Analytic Workspace manager separately? If it comes along with the oracle suite, what did I want to do to have analytic workspace manager in my machine?
Please help me.
Thanks,
Deepa

Hi
Thanks for the info.
I like to get more information regarding the same in version 10.1.0.2

How to user Analytic workspace manager in Oracel 9

Hi All,
I am new to OLAP, I want to know how to configure/use Analytic workspace manager in my database for creating OLAP. I am using oracle 9.2.0.1.0.
Regards
Ananth

The first version of Analytic Workspace Manager came with Oracle 10.2, it does not support Oracle 9.2. If you are new to Oracle OLAP, you really want to be using Oracle 11.1 or 11.2 (11.2 if possible). If your organization uses 9.2 for your apps, consider using an 11.2 instance of OLAP and accessing the 9.2 version as the data source to your cubes. The advantages to 11.x are too numerous to cover here. I can send you some papers that describe 10.2 and 11.x if you send me ([email protected]) your email adress.

Analytic Workspace Manager Release date

Does anyone know that release date for the analytic workspace manager?

I'm reluctant to start having a go at Oracle, because there's probably good technical reasons why AWM didn't come out last year, most probably due to 9i OLAP API changes invalidating much of the work the product team had done with the prototype of AWM. However, it's been about 18 months now, by my reckoning, since AWM was first talked about and it's still not generally available.
Of course, the features announced for the first version of AWM are only part of what we need 'out in the field' when working with 9i OLAP. We also need graphical tools to load analytic workspaces directly, rather than having to write OLAP DML dataloaders or go through an intermediate step of loading an Oracle star-schema, and in addition, migration tools for Express databases to help with the creation of OLAP Catalog metadata.
It's worth contrasting this with the release of OLAP Services when SQL Server 7.0 was released. There, Microsoft provided tools from the outset to create and manage OLAP cubes, which meant that users could get up and running immediately, not have to wait the best part of two years to get the most basic of tools to enable them to create OLAP databases.
As there's no doubt been quite a few technical challenges in delivering the 9i OLAP tools over the last couple of years, what would probably help the situation would be a more proactive communication strategy from the Oracle product team, in the way that the OWB team regularly post on their OTN forum and keep us all informed on how the product is progressing. Part of the frustration with 9i OLAP is the lack of any communication or updates on the product, leaving us guessing as to exactly when elements such as the AWM will actually come out. In addition, from what I can glean about OLAP support in 10g, there's some excellent news coming out, such as Multiwriter support, an XML interface for OLAP, Parallel support for aggregation and so on, which would be great news to hear and might make people 'hang on' rather than give up on the product.
Hopefully, as the last announcement from Oracle suggested, the AWM will be made available this month, and we can get on then with helping our customers and clients start taking advantage of the 9i OLAP platform.

Analytic Workspace Manager possible bug: Maintain Cube hangs

Hi All,
I am a newbe, I have been following the tutorial "Building OLAP 11g Cubes". http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/olap_cube/buildicubes.htm
After the step "Maintain Cube SALES_CUBE", I got the information box "Loading facts for cube SALES_CUBE"...on the screen for the last 4 hours.
Is this normal? Should I kill the process and start again?
I am running Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 on a Virtual Machine with Windows Server 2008 Standard SP1 with 1GB RAM.
The Analytic Workspace Manager is 11.2.0.1.0 running on a Windows XP SP3.
Any help is much appreciated

I'm getting a similar problem, I cannot maintain cubes that worked fine yesterday:
An error has occurred on the server
Error class: Express Failure

It all started after I tried to add a calculated measure to an existing cube (something I have done before in 11g...a feature I love).
This is too bad, so far I've been loving 11g Olap as compared to 10g Olap. But now 11g is starting to crop up these bullshit bugs as well. I guess OLAP is still too crappy to rely on for production....good thing I won't recommend a rollout of this product to my clients. It's a great tool for having fun with development, but using Oracle Olap + AWM in a real company is career suicide.
