Using infoobject in cube

I am trying to use the same infoobject in two or more infocubes
can we do it, if yes kindly tell me how

Of course you can, no particolar procedure; create your cube and choose the IO to be putted in cube.
Hope it helps.

How to identify empty InfoObjects used in a Cube

Hello Gurus!
I need some help. How do I find empty InfoObjects used in a Cube?
I have 20+ Cubes and I need to identify those objects in the cubes, which are empty /not filled/. Statistics
Except writing an ABAP
Thanks in advance
Martin

Thank you for such fast response!
@Tarak: unfortunately in the TX: LISTCUBE /or display data via RSA1/ you cannot display all characteristics for 'larger' cubes. Additionally you would have to select filter on each characteristics separately.
@Aduri: could you please give me a more detailed hint? I know cube statistics for load requests, for storage space, for DB time, for IO in report use, but not for IO data, no data.
@Analyst: Transactional data. Well, to check each mapping for 20+ cubes is a possibility. I have hoped to find a faster way, however.

Use of virtual cube 0FIGL_V10 for reporting on Financal Statements

Dear all,
I am new to the GL reporting and I have a question about the usage of the virtual cube for reporting on Financial Statements.
On the content site I see that you can report your Balance Sheet based on the infocube 0FIGL_C10, where you can use the infoobject 0GLACCOUNT to display the balances.
I also installed the Virtual Cube 0FIGL_V10, which has the infoobject 0GLACCEXT to show the Financial Statement Item hierarchy.
My questions are:
- to create a Balance Sheet Report, is it advisable to use the content query 0FIGL_C10_Q001?
If I run that query now, it is showing the data on seperate G/L accounts, where I would like to see a hierarchy display.
For reporting on the capital expenditure however the requirement is that some G/L acoounts don't have to be taken into account. How can I exclude those then from the hierarchy for that report?
- to create the P&L, advice on the content site is to use the virtual cube because you have the Financial Statement Item hierarchy available there and you can report on specific financial statements.
Can anyone tell me the added value of using the Virtual Cube? Or can I skip it and just add the Financial Statement Item hierarchy in the 0FIGL_C10 cube and create a report where I select the nodes of the hierarchy that are only applicable for the P&L? Will that corrupt the figures or have any other effect?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Sundar,
As ravi said the VC can be used when we have leass number of users, basically in VC the structure will be available. And moreover when you generetae a report based on Multiprovider which is based on the VC then it will pick up the data directly from the source to which it has been connected..
Hope it helps..

Delta from infoobject to cube

Hi All,
I need to load a cube from an infoobject. I know it is a wierd requirement. But if i create a transformation from infoobject to cube, is it possible to have a delta load from an infoobject to cube using transformation ?
Regards,
Satya

Hi,
Yes, this is possible. What you should do is:
Select the InfoObject. Right mouse click and select Additional Functions -> Generate Export DataSource
Go to datasources and select the material datasource. Right mouse click and choose Create Transformation and choose the InfoCube as target. Create the rest of the rules.
Go to infoproviders and select the InfoCube. Right mouse click and select Create Data Transfer Process. On this screen you can choose Delta.

Using dimension and cube operator

hi
I am facing problem in using this dimension and cube operator..
Actually I want to create a sales data with dimensions as time,customer and product
After creating a dimension in owb I get a table created attached with it same is the case with cube operator
so where should I store my measures in the cube or the table created and where to store the data about dimensions in the table created.
and finally how to use them in mapping to retrieve the data stored
Thanks

It sounds like you are not getting any matching keys for loading into the cube.
Do you have a time dimension created by OWB in the cube? The key used by the cube operator for an OWB time dimension is a formatted number. The time dimension keys are stored as follows;
Day Level - YYYYMMDD
Month Level - YYYYMM
Week Level - YYYYWW
Quarter - YYYYQ
Year - YYYY
If you have a source that has a SQL date datatype for example and want to construct the key for a cube's time dimension at the day level something like the following expression can be used to construct the time reference from a SQL date...
to_number(to_char( time_key, 'YYYYMMDD'))
It may not be this but just a thought.
Cheers
David

Is 0VENDOR infoobject used in Sales Cubes?

Dear BW Backend gurus,
A simple question for you:
Is 0VENDOR infoobject used in any Sales Cubes? If yes, then which one?
Which cubes is 0VENDOR mainly used in?
Thanks

Hi,
0vendor is directly not used as an info object in any cube. However it is used in 0FIAP_IO : Accounts Payable : Master Data.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.

Adding new infoobject to cube with data

Hi experts
Our cube contains data and is fully compressed (E-table), there is are no requests in F-table.
We need to add 2 key figures and 2 characteristics.
The characteristics get a new dimension table.
We don't use the remodel technique. We add these new infoobjects.
There is no need for a reload of historical data for these new objects.
We only need data starting from the first load date after the changes occured.
Are there any errors in this approach?
Thanks

Thomas,
When you are adding a new dimension to your cube - you are adding a primary key to your E and F Fact tables - therefore when your transport goes it - it will reorganize your cube tables.
For this - assuming that you are collecting the changes in the normal way and not changing any settings ....
1. Check the UNDO table space in target system , the UNDO table space should have enought free space available that will be greater than the size of your E and F Fact table sizes - because , the way the transport moves is that a copy of the table is taken in the undo table space in the database and then the tables are adjusted - if your undo table space is insufficient - the transport will fail after some time
2. If this is a big cube - then the transport will take time to go in - if BASIS imports transport requests in sequence - then this transport will hold the queue and might delay others whi have smaller transports.... make sure that your transport goes in last if there are others waiting for you to complete
3. Also inform BASIS that the transport is going to take time - sometimes long running transports can get the BASIS team excited :-)
These are not technical but some bases that can be covered in advance...
Hope this helps.,...

Why we need to use 0Recordmode in Cube?

Hi to all,
Actually we r using 0Recordmode in ODS , which is for Delta update for ODS.But in our prj in one of the cubes 0Recordmode is using, i dont why? pls can anybody clarify me abt this
Regards
Linda

Linda
0Recordmode is an infoobject for laoding data into ODS. The value indicates how the data should be updated and which type.
Field 0RECORDMODE is needed for the delta load and is added by the system if a DataSource is delta-capable. In the ODS object the field is generated during the creation process.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Using an SAS2008 Cube as a data source for BI Publisher errors

Hi All,
I am trying to use a SAS 2008 cube as a data source for a report in BI Publisher. When I defined the data source under the admin section I gave it the following details:
Data Source=ntsasqa01;Provider=msolap.3;Initial Catalog=WWPR_SMG
With a username / password that has access to the cube.
When I try and test the connection the OC4J instance stops running and the test does not finish or error. If I use the data source and then setup a report and then try and view data I get an error like the one below:
/app/oracle/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/DataSource/msmdacc.dll ( 0509-022 Cannot load module /app/oracle/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/DataSource/msmdacc.dll.
0509-103 The module has an invalid magic number.)
I am not sure if the error is related to the initial issue of not being able to complete the test.
I need to find a solution though as I have to make use of MDX to access the cubes.
Please could someone give me some advice.
Thanks,
Kim.

Hi Kim
1. SAS cubes are not currently supported - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf. Unless SAS cubes can use the MS drivers?
2. If you try and pursue it you might check the permissions on the ddll in the error to ensure you have rights over it.
Either way you are not supported with a SAS cube so you are kinda on your own. Sorry I dont use SAS so Im not going to be much help other than stating the obvious :0)

Dimension with 2 roles and 2 hierarchies used in 2 cubes

Hi,
I have a dimension in which there are two dimension roles (roleA, roleB) defined as well as two hierarchies (hierarchyA, hierarchyB). Currently hierarchyA is set as default. (Not because that is in fact the default one, only because OWB forces one to choose a default)
I need to define two cubes (cubeA, cubeB). CubeA will use the dimension with roleA and cubeB will use the dimension with roleB.
Is it possible to tell cubeA to use/see/make available only hierarchyA and cubeB only hierarchyB? HierarchyA makes no sense in cubeB so I want to "specify" hierarchyB for cubeB.
Thanks,
Juanita

A different issue but possibly related:
I have a ROLAP cube with one of the dimensions containing multiple hierarchies. If I deploy this with deployment option set to "Deploy data only", it works 100%. As soon as I change the deployment option to "Deploy All", I get a VLD-0398 error.
I need to choose "Deploy all" since the cube metadata must be deployed to the OLAP catalog in order for Disco OLAP and BI Spreadsheet Add-In to see the cube.
First question:
Is it possible to deploy to the OLAP catalog if the cube has a dimension with multiple hierarchies?
Second question:
If it is not possible, what is the workaround?
Thanks,
Juanita

Slow query using view on cube

I have created a cube using Analytic workspace manager (oracle 10G R2) which is to be used (via a view) in OBIEE.
One of the dimensions (event_dim) is extremely sparse (it has been marked as sparse and is at the appropriate level in the cube's dimensional hierarchy).
In general, when I query the cube (via the view) at high levels of aggregation, the performance is good, but when I query the cube at the lowest level of granulrity for the event_dim dimension, the performance is extremely poor (more than a minute to return).
The problem seems to be that the view is returning data for all possible rows in the cube even if most of the measures are NA (i.e null since there is no data present).
For example if I run a query against the cube with no filter on the measures I get around 20,000 rows returned - obviously this takes a while. If I then put a 'my_measure > 0' clause on the query I get 2 rows back (which is correct). However this still takes more than a minute to return - I assume that this is because the query is having to process the 20,000 rows to find the two that actually have data.
Is there any way to control this - I never need to see the NA data so would like to be able to disable this in either the cube or the view - and hence improve performance.
Note: I cannot use the compression option since I need to be able to override the default aggregation plan for certain dimension/measure combinations and it appears that compression and overriding the plan are incompatible (AWM gives the error "Default Aggregation Plan for Cube is required when creating cube with the Compression option").
Thanks,
Chris

I have seen this in some examples/mails. I havent tried it out myself :)
Try using a OLAP_CONDITION filter with an appropriate entry point option (1) on the OLAP_TABLE based query and achieve the goal of restricting output from query to value with meas > 0. This condition can be added as part of a specific query or as part of the OLAP_TABLE view definition (applicable to all queries). Hopefully this way there is no need to customize the limitmap variable to suit the cube implementation internal details like compression, partitioning, presummarization, global composite etc.
NOTE1: The olap_condition entry point 1 pushes the measure based dimension filter within the cube before fetching results from cube. Hopefully this will help speed up the retrieval of results. This should work well if we want the restriction to apply across 1 dimension.. Time or Product alone.. only 1 olap_condition is sufficient.
SELECT ...
FROM <olap_table_based_view>
where ...
and olap_condition(olap_calc, ' limit time KEEP sales_sales > 0', 1)=1
--and olap_condition(olap_calc, ' limit time KEEP any(sales_sales, product) > 0', 1)=1
NOTE2:
For cases where both time and product (and more dimensions) need to be restricted then we can use 2 olap_conditions to restrict data to set of time and products where some data exists but you could still end up with a specific row (cross combination of product and time) with zero value. You may want to bolster the pre-fetch filtering by olap_condition via a regular sql filter referencing the external measure column (and sales_view_col >0) which is applied on to the results after it is fetched from the cube.
E.g:
SELECT ...
FROM <olap_table_based_view>
where ...
and olap_condition(olap_calc, ' limit product KEEP any(sales_sales, time) > 0', 1)=1
and olap_condition(olap_calc, ' limit time KEEP any(sales_sales, product) > 0', 1)=1
and sales_view_col >0

Why to use a Basic Cube?

Hi All, I have a doubt,
If with a transactional infocube is possible to made the same things (and more) than with a basic cube, why not define always all the infocubes as transactional?
Tks for your apreciation

Hi SSap
Transactional InfoCubes can be filled with data using two different methods: Loading planned data via SEM or via BW Staging, where no planned data can be loaded. You have the option to convert a transactional Info Cube Select Convert Transactional InfoCube using the context menu in your transactional InfoCube in the InfoProvider tree. By default, the Transactional Cube Can Be Planned; Loading of Data Not Permitted is selected. The system then fills the cube using the SEM functions. Switch this setting to Transactional Cube Can Be Loaded With Data; Planning Not Permitted, if you want to fill the cube with data via BW Staging.
Transactional InfoCubes differ from Basic InfoCubes in their ability to support parallel write accesses. Basic InfoCubes are technically optimized for read accesses to the detriment of write accesses.
Use
Transactional InfoCubes are used in connection with the entry of planning data. The data from this kind of InfoCube is accessed transactionally, meaning data is written to the InfoCube (possibly by several users at the same time). Basic InfoCubes are not suitable for this. You should use Basic InfoCubes for read-only access (for example, when reading reference data).
transactional infocubes can be filled with data using two different methods: using the transaction of BW-BPS to enter planning data and using BW staging, whereas planning data then cannot be loaded simultaneously.
Anyway, the data from this kind of infocube is accessed transactionally, meaning data is written to the infocube (possibly by several users at the same time); basic infocubes are not suitable for this. I think this is the only proper use of this type of cube...
Hope your doubt is clear, and it help you
Atul
We have an option to switch the Tranasaction cube such as "Loding allowed and Planning not allowed" and "Planning allowed and loading not allowed".

Using Aggregate storage cubes to aggregate and populate DWHSE

Has anyone ever used aso cube to aggregate data and put it into a datawarehouse? We are exploring the option of using essbase ASO's to aggregate data from a fact into summary form then loading the required data via dataexport in version (9.3.1) OR (9.5)
whatever version supports aso AND dataexport.

Hi Whiterook72,
Heterogenous data sources -> ETL -> warehouse -> essbase/OLAP -> MIS and analyses
Conventionally, in an enterprise , we have essbase or an OLAP engine after the warehouse .As a level of aggregation happens in warehouse ,and for the multidimensional view ,we push it into OLAP.
Contrariwise , in your case ,
Heterogenous data sources -> ETL ->essbase/olap -> warehouse -> MIS and analyses
you want to bring essbas before you load the data into warehouse .This would make essbase to feed from the operational data sources, where we have a lil problem.
Ex: for a bank ,operational data has information at customer level i.e you have individual customer name, and their respective info like addres,transaction info bla bla bla.
So,to feed this info into essbase cube ( with an objective of aggregation) , you got to have millions of members ( i.e all customers ) in your outline .
Which i see is not the objective of essbase .
Just my thoughts , hope they help you
