(Urgent) issue of Using Aggregate table in the BMM layer (Thanks)

Hi,
Let's say, I have 2 fact tables, "F_Region_Goal" and "F_Store_Goal"; and 2 dimension tables, "Dim_Date" and "Dim_Store_info".
"Dim_Date" has hierarchy as "day-month-year" and "Dim_Store_info" has hierarchy as "Division-Region-Store".
"F_Store_Goal" has the most detailed goal info data in it;
"F_Region_Goal" aggregate all the goal on "Region" level. (For Data dimension point of view, these 2 Fact tables are the same, "day-month-year")
We create the BM, I have set the "Logic level" info in LTS, to let BIEE server to point to "Region_Goal" when we choose the Level: Region.
However, i have tried several times, in the log, it always goes to "F_Store_Goal".
Can anyone here tell me what I missed in the configuration?
You help will be greatly appreciated.
BTW: What if I want the BIEE server go to "F_Region_Goal" to do SUM() function to get the Goal for "Division" level, when I choose the criteria "Division" and "Month", How can i realize this ?
Many many thanks for any reply.

It seems to me that you are missing the aggregate dimension "Dim_Region_info" ... currently you are trying to get obiee to use a lower level dimension with a higher level fact and it's designed to take what it believes is the most effiicient way to do things.

How should I deal with it in the BMM Layer

Hi all,
I need a suggestion in a problem.
Here is the scenario,
In the physical layer, There are some fact to fact joins.
ProductFact ----< PolicyFact ----< PolicyCoverFact ----< ClaimFact ----< ClaimPaymentFact ----< CorrespondenceFact
There are some conformed dimension tables given below
Geography is joined to ProductFact, ClaimFact
Organisation is joined to PolicyCoverFact, CorrespondenceFact
Currency is joined to PolicyFact, ClaimPaymentFact
Also there are non-conformed dimensions such as,
ProductType is joined to ProductFact
PolicyCoverType is joined to PolicyCoverFact
and there are many more......What I know is when there are fact to fact joins, we should make a logical table in the BMM layer and add both fact tables to the same LTS, But in this case, almost all the fact tables are joined directly.
How should I deal with these fact to fact joins in the BMM layer? Any suggestions?

I have to create many LTS for the fact table......
1 LTS for ProductFact
1 LTS for ProductFact & PolicyFact (which contain ProductFact and PolicyFact as sources)
1 LTS for ProductFact , PolicyFact & PolicyCoverFact ........
and so on.....
have I understood correctly? Is that what you mean?Yes, the reason why I said to "keep" the firsts fact table in each source is to make the dimension work.
For example, if the "product dimension" is only linked to "product fact", but not "policy fact" then you won't be able to do a report based on "product dimension" and "policy fact". Right ? To be able to do this report, OBIEE must do a join with "product fact" (this fact table become an intersection table). That's why you will add product fact in the "policy fact" source. Same for others source.
But the name of "ProductFact & PolicyFact" source can be "policy fact". Because each row of this source is a policy fact.
For the 3rd table, each row is a "policy cover fact". But to be able to join with "product dimension" and "policy dimension", you need to integrate "policy fact" and "product fact" tables in the logical source.
and so on.

Duplicate table and Alias table in the physical layer

Hi,
I want a clear information regarding the duplicate tables in the physical layer of the rpd.
I mean what is the purpose of the duplicate tables in the physical layer.........
thanks,
chinna.

what do you mean by duplicate of physical table? is it Alias table?
if then,
-> aliases are created to break the circular joins (which are not supported by obiee)
-> and, as per apps standards no operation can be done on base tables which are imported directly to physical layer. Only aliases are joined and will be used in BMM layer
-> useful to re-use the table more than one time , best example: W_DAY_D in apps rpd

Union of more than 2 fragments/Logical Table Sources in BMM Layer

Hi,
I have come across many blogs which explain how to union two fragments/physical tables in a logical table source.
Currently, i have a requirement where i have to combine/union 4 fragments/physical tables in a logical table source, say T1, T2, T3, T4 dimension tables.
All have the same table structure, but differ in data.
The requirement is to define dashboard prompt on the union of these tables and populate the values from all the tables.
I am able to union two of the tables using a '>' and a '<' condition on a key column.
But, am not able to union the other two tables.
If i try to put more than 2 LTS, then the union fails.
Please share your thoughts.
thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
What do you mean by the Union fails?
You can have a logical table source in your business layer with 4 different tables as a source.
Import the tables in the physical layer and create your joins.
Then create a logical table in the Business layer and go in the table properties you will see that you can add as much tables as you want into the source (Map to these tables).there you can add all of your 4 tables and specify what type of join you want to have between them (inner, outer...)

Why do we need to Join in the BMM Layer

Hi,
Somebody asked me the following questions
*"If the joins are already defined in the Physical Layer and ultimately the query will pass thru Physical Layer to the Database and will take the joins defined in the Physical Layer then why do the joins in the BMM layer". This can be a Complex join or a Foriegn Key Join*
Under what conditions do we use Foreign Key Joins in BMM layer ?
How do we use Stored Procedure in OBIEE?
Any answers.
Rgds,
Amit

This is most likely because the copy's licence has not been verified, and to verify it you need to log in so it can check that you account contains the license.

How to use nested tables with the inner table in a separate row

Hi,
I am having a problem when changing our existing Adobe printform delivery note so that serial numbers are written for each item line.
I've searched the forum and found many posts relating to nested tables, but none that had exactly my situation.
Currently I print item lines like this (this uses the complete width of the form):
Pos....Quantity...Material..........Description..................................................Date
99.........99.........ABCDEFGH....alksdalksjdlkasjdlsajdlkjasldjaslkdjakslj........9999.99.99
.................................................fskdjflsdfljsdflkjsdlkfjsdlkjfdfsf
.................................................asdkadsfdkfhsdkfhskjdfhks
but I want to add serial numbers after that for each item like this:
Pos....Quantity...Material..........Description...................................................Date
99.........99.........ABCDEFGH....alksdalksjdlkasjdlsajdlkjasldjaslkdjakslj.........9999.99.99
.................................................fskdjflsdfljsdflkjsdlkfjsdlkjfdfsf
.................................................asdkadsfdkfhsdkfhskjdfhks
.................................................Serial numbers:
.................................................9999999999..9999999999..9999999999
.................................................9999999999..9999999999..9999999999
I have added serial numbers to my the current table in the interface/context/data view so it look like this:
TTYP - ITEM_FIELDS
...DATA structure
......POSNR
......QTY
......MATNR
......TTYP - ITEM_TEXTS
.........DATA structure
............DESCRIPTION
......DATE
......TTYP - SERIAL_NOS
.........DATA structure
............SERIAL_COL1
............SERIAL_COL2
............SERIAL_COL3
In my Hierarchy I currently have this hierarchy and binding:
Table - ITEM_FIELDS
...Body Row - DATA
......Cell - POSNR
......Cell - QTY
......Cell - MATNR
......Subform - ItemTexts
.........Table - ITEM_TEXTS
............Body Row - DATA
...............Cell - DESCRIPTION
......Cell - DATE
Now I am trying to add the SERIAL_NOS table into the ITEM_FIELDS/DATA body row right after the DATE cell - but I am not allowed to drag anything into the table structure.
Does anybody have an ida how I can achieve this, please?
Kind regards,
Claus Christensen

HI,
Set the body page as flowed and set the tables also flowed.
go to bodypage>object->subform-->select flowed option.
I thihnk this will work..if u are getting all the records properly into the tables 1 and 2.

Using ALV table inside the WD CHIP

Hi,
I am trying to display the internal table values using alv component in WD CHIP. But, not able to add the component usage as SALV_WD_TABLE.
Can anyone please confirm how can we use the ALV component inside the WD chip.
My requirement is that based upon the selection parameter provided by the user in the CHIP, i need to display the resource id in a table in the same CHIP.
Thanks,
Jayaprakash

Hi Kabil,
You mean in WD CHIP. It seems that it is behaving differently when working with CHIP.
It is not allowing me to add other components like SALV_WD_TABLE.

Issues while joining two tables as the joining column has duplicate values - Please help!

Hi,
I have a table A -which has few columns including a Amount column - I am joining this table A to Table B. The joining column in B has duplicates. So, the number of records are getting more after the joining. As per the requirment when I create a table
after joining the tables and count the salary clumn, there is a difference in the counting. How can I solve this? Can you please help me?
Here is the DDL and sample values
create table #student (sid int, name varchar(10),salary int)
create table [#address] (sid int, city varchar(10),grade char(1),lineneumber int)
insert into #student values (1,'sachin',8000)
insert into #student values (2,'Dhoni',2000)
insert into #student values (3,'Ganguly',7000)
insert into #student values (4,'Kohli',1000)
insert into [#address] values(1,'mumbai','A',1)
insert into [#address] values(1,'mumbai','B',2)
insert into [#address] values(1,'mumbai','C',3)
insert into [#address] values(1,'mumbai','D',4)
insert into [#address] values(2,'JARKHAND','D',3)
insert into [#address] values(2,'JARKHAND','D',4)
SELECT S.SID,NAME,salary,CITY ,grade,linenumber
into #FINAL
FROM #STUDENT S
LEFT JOIN #ADDRESS A
ON S.SID=A.SID
SELECT SUM(salary) FROM #FINAL
--44000
Final result should be 18000 , but it is coming as 44000. can you please help me to get the correct result - what do i do in the joining?
In my real project, i have 5 tables joining, each table have more than 30 columns and few joining tables joining column have duplicates. I have simplified the issue so that i can ask the question clearly. So,while answering, please consider that also in mind.
thanks in advance for your help!

SELECT S.SID,NAME,salary,CITY
into #FINAL
FROM #STUDENT S
LEFT JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT sid,city
FROM #Address) A
ON S.SID=A.SIDthis will do a join on student table and city table with unique sid and city name so adddress selection will be sid city1 mumbai2 jarkand

Hello there.
I can't find a way to to that. In Pages '09 it is indeed possible and very simplie and intuitive. The very same approach doesn't work for me in Number. Is it possible at all?

Issue with using Multiple Tables in Join

Post Author: dwessell
CA Forum: .NET
Hi, I'm using the Basic version of Crystal Reports that shipped with Visual Studio 2k5.I'm doing a report with three tables, CQ_HEADER, SO_HEADER and SALESPERSON. Both the CQ_HEADER and the SO_HEADER tables link to the SALESPERSON table via a SPN_AUTO_KEY field. However, I always receive duplicates in my result set, due to the joins made. Here's the query that's produced by CR. SELECT "CQ_HEADER"."CQ_NUMBER", "CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE", "CQ_HEADER"."TOTAL_PRICE", "SALESPERSON"."SALESPERSON_NAME", "SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE", "SO_HEADER"."TOTAL_PRICE" FROM "CQ_HEADER" "CQ_HEADER" INNER JOIN ("SO_HEADER" "SO_HEADER" INNER JOIN "SALESPERSON" "SALESPERSON" ON "SO_HEADER"."SPN_AUTO_KEY"="SALESPERSON"."SPN_AUTO_KEY") ON "CQ_HEADER"."SPN_AUTO_KEY"="SALESPERSON"."SPN_AUTO_KEY" WHERE ("CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE">={ts '2007-12-01 00:00:00'} AND "CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE"<{ts '2007-12-18 00:00:00'}) AND ("SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE">={ts '2007-12-01 00:00:00'} AND "SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE"<{ts '2007-12-18 00:00:00'}) ORDER BY "SALESPERSON"."SALESPERSON_NAME" There is no link between the SO_HEADER and the CQ_HEADER. Can anyone make a suggestion as to how I could go about structuring this such that it doesn't return duplicate values? ThanksDavid

Addendum: I've partially been able to solve it.. The information that I'm after is: Salesperson # of Quotes # of Sales #Total Sales (Sum(Total_Price)) #Total Quoted Salesperson is what I group after, and I was able to get correct numbers for # of Quotes and # of sales by changing COUNT to DISTINCT COUNT. However, for the summations I'm still getting duplicate rows. ThanksDavid
