VSDT 2010 DSV pane in dimension designer not displaying table

Hi,
I'm using VSDT 2010 with SQL Server 2012 on Win 8.1 64 bit.
I've found that in some of my dimensions the DSV pane of the dimension designer no longer
display the table.
Furthermore, the KeyColumns window shows the wrong table for the columns selected and
it can't be changed. Better said it can be changed but the changes are not saved after clicking on the OK button.
Has anyone seen this kind of behavious before?

Hi Mario1,
According to your description, you find the dim tables are not appearing in DSV, and the source table shows improper table in SSDT. Right?
In this scenario, it seems like the month table is not existing so it changes into the balance_structure table. Please test connection in data source. Right click on the DSV pane in dimension, select all tables to see if the month table is existing. Refresh
the Data Source View to check all tables. If you still can't see the tables related to Month dimension in Add/Remove tables, please go to database engine and restore the source database if necessary.

SSAS Date Dimension attribute not displaying all members when browsed singly

I have an SSAS Cube database that holds data from 2009 to 2013 (5 years)
There is a Date Dimension in the database which holds a "Calender Period" Hierarchy with the attributes CalenderYear >> Quarter >> MonthYear >> Day .
I am connecting to the cube via Microsot EXCEL
Whenever i try to browse this hierarchy alone in the spread sheet, the first attribute as per the hierarchy shown above i.e. Calender Year does not display all the members, that is confusing the users to assume that the cube is not processed with the latest
data, which is not the case. However as soon as i try to browse any measure with this dimension, the data automatically shows for the latest dates of 2013 as per the expectations.
The perspective that is selected while connecting to the Cube in this case is the one that is by default the one including all the Cube Objects.
Whenever i try to browse the same cube for the same Dimension Hierarchy but in a separate user perspective i get the latest three Calender Years i.e. 2011,2012 and 2013 but not the complete years 2009 to 2013.
When i was browsing this earlier by the original base perspective (which has all the cube objects visible) the Calender Years displayed were 2009,2010,2011&2012 but not 2013 which should be there.
I checked the base view in the DB that is used to create this Dimension, that is fetching the complete data for 2009 to 2013.
I have also verified that this issue is still there if i try to browse the cube from the SSMS.
Can anyone help me to get all the years from 2009 to 2013 (the years for which my cube has data) become visible as soon as i drop it alone into the Spreadsheet?
Thanks

Thanks for your response Muthukumaran.
I did not know about this default measure property of the SSAS cube, it would be nice if you could also tell me how to check which is the default measure for a cube.
I understand your point that if a particular measure group does not have data for a year then that particular year will be skipped as per the default excel settings, which when disabled allowed all the years to be displayed, but in that case every time the
users connect to the cube via excel, they will have to configure this property.
I would like to share the way i resolved this issue:
I went ahead and simply did a Process Full for the Date dimension. The years started to display by default as per the expectations. Now after observing this change, as per my understanding I believe this issue was due to the CACHE of the cube not being updated
for the date dimension. As after each incremental load of the DWH we processed the cube & while processing the cube the dimensions were set for a Process Update and the Measure Groups were set for a Process Full. This caused this issue, and we could resolve
this once the Date Dimension was processed full.
Thanks

The left navigation pane (index tree) is not displaying in last Google Chrome version (Version 28.0

I'm publishing my RoboHelp 9 projects in IIS (Windows Server) and the index tree is gone if I open them in Chrome version 28.0.1500.72 m
If I apply the fix (WebHelp TOC does not display using Google's Chrome Browser) suggested here http://www.grainge.org/pages/snippets/snippets.htm#browsers
it looks like it fixes the problem for European languages but it breaks the search functionality for Asian languages.
Any idea?
Thank you

The fix does say it is only for Rh7.
Could it be like Item 6 at http://www.grainge.org/pages/snippets/snippets.htm#webhelp. You haven't said if the problem is only with Chrome.
Try publishing from the sample projects. That will identify whether it is a general or project issue.

DB Connect after BI 7 Upgrade - can extract but not display table contents

Hi,
After an upgrade from 3.1 non-unicode to BI 7 unicode on Windows OS, SQL Server 2005 DB, the DB Connect connection to another SQL Server 2005 database is still established and passes all checks. We are also able to load data from the datasources previously established. However if we right-click the source system -> additional functions -> Select Database Tables (3.x), list the tables/views, double-click a view known to contain data, click 'Display Table Contents' and nothing happens. We can run a load from the datasource connected to the same view.
I have seen one unanswered post with the same issue. If anyone else has come across this problem and has some suggestions, it would be appreciated.
Note we have checked the normal issues on the SQL user having created the views and don't believe this is an authorisation issue. There is no authorization issue posted in SU53.
Support pack level is 16 on Basis and 18 on BW.
Thank you,
Ken

Hi Ken,
The problem has happened in the past because fields in the table/view had lower case letters. This is not allowed. Please check the following documentation:
->http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw320/helpdata/en/58/
54f9c1562d104c9465dabd816f3f24/frameset.htm
->Modeling ->Source System ->Transferring Data with DB Connect
     ->Requests to Database Tables and Database Views
        ->Naming conventions for fields
If the above is not the cause please check the note 512739 again to make sure everything is configured correctly:
Please make sure in particular that the section III (d) of the note entitled 'Authorizations and visible objects' has been correctly
followed.

JTable does not display table column header

I create a JFrame with a JScrollPane in which I place a mainPanel (=JPanel ) consisting of a leftPanel (=JPanel ) and a rightPanel (=JPanel ). I add to the rightPanel a JTable using constructor JTable(tableModel dm). I overrode method dm.getColumnName(int coulmnIndex) and verified that this method is being invoked. The JTable is being placed in the rightPanel but without column header.

        // Using BorderLayout
        JTable table = new JTable(tableData, tableHeaders);
        add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        add(table.getTableHeader(), BorderLayout.NORTH);

Why not displayed new member in dimension sap bpc?

Good day guys
I have the following problem:
Add new members to a dimension but not displayed.
example: DIMENSION(inputcurrency) added MEMBER: MXN (Mexican Pesos); when I excel interface I can not see the new member, before this process the dimension and active AppSet.
that could be?
Use SAP BPC 7.5 SP8

Hi Bish,
Without processing a dimension the data should no go to the database. If you modify the the dimension and you want those new members in report you have to process that dimension. And if you save that dimension after modification its save the members in application sever. while retrieving the data it pick up from the database layer not from application layer, So the on fly calculation are stored in application layer( Like conversion files, Transformation files, script logics and Member formulas). So if you want the new members in report you have to process. Its by SAP design it self.
After modification of dimension no need to logoff and login every time. In order to avoid that option we have a anothe solution that is Activate Metadata Cache option.
In order to use that go to EPM--> User OPtions---> Activate metadata Option
You can clear the metadata cache. When the cache is cleared, the structure of the data source you are connected to is synchronized with the structure copied locally; which means that the members of dimensions that have been added, modified or deleted in the data source are loaded.
For more details related to Metadata option go to the EPM 10 Office Addin User Guide document which is available in google free of cost

RH Window not updating / topics not displaying after repositioning

Hi,
I'm running RH8.0.2 on a 32-bit version of Windows 7. In the last few days I've had peculiar problems with the RH Window itself (not compiled help) not refreshing properly.
For example, I want to compare a Word document to a help topic, so I resize the RH window and position it next to the Word document. I open several topics and do what I need to do. Now I'm done with the Word document, so I maximize the RH window again. This is when the problems start:
The navigation along the top (including the topic tabs) does not refresh.
If I double-click a topic in the left pane, it is sometimes not displayed on the right side, although the cursor movements indicate that RH thinks the topic is displayed. (This is hard to explain, and crazily enough I can't even get a screenshot of this to show what I mean.)
If I reduce the window size back to its previous, smaller size, things look normal again and I can see the topic I just double-clicked. But if I want to use RH in a maximized window again, I have to close and reopen the RH project.
Yes, these problems can be dealt with. But this has been going on for several days now (after a Windows update, perhaps?) and it's getting annoying.
Is anybody else experiencing these problems? Is there a solution?
Thanks
Eileen

Thank you for those suggestions, Peter!
You were right - I was dragging the two windows to where I wanted them.
I haven't yet tested your suggstions extensively (I don't spend a lot of time with RH side by side by side with other applications). However, I haven't seen the problem since I started using Windows key + arrows to position the windows.
BTW, RH is the only application where I was having this problem.
I will post again (or edit this post) if I come up with any new information. Even if no one else has posted about this problem, I'm betting that others are experiencing it. As I said, it's relatively easy to work around. Just annoying.
Thanks again!

Proj Server 2010 Dashboard Designer Not Reporting Future Capacity

With information from Project Server 2010 (PWA) and using Dashboard Designer I’ve designed a time-phased report (by month) to show past effort (Measure - Actual Regular Work) against capacity (Measure – Capacity) which displays accurate information.
I’ve designed a similar report to show future planned work (Measure – Remaining Work) against capacity (Measure – Capacity).
Planned work reports accurately but for some reason this report does not show future capacity.
Resources in the pool have latest available dates. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to report future capacity in Dashboard Designer?
Thanks in advance!

Resource Capacity Settings are set to:
Months behind : 1
Months ahead: 12
The report uses Portfolio Analyzer Cube.
The OLAP cube builds every 24 hours. Database date range is “Use the earliest project start date and the latest project finish date”.
Thank you for your help.

Star schema design, metrics dimension or not.

Hello Guys,
I just heard from one of my colleagues that its wise to
have an "KPI" or "metrics" dimension in my DWH star schema (later used in OBIEE).
Now, we have quite a lot of data 100 000 rows per day (botton leve, non-aggregated, the aggregations are obviously far less then that, lets say 200 rows per day) and
we have build pre-aggregated data marts for each of the 5 very static reports (OBIEE Publisher).
The table structure is very simple
e.g.
Date,County,NumberofCars,RevenuePerCar, ExpensesPerCar, BreakEvenPerCar, CarType
One could exclude the metrics "NumberofCars","RevenuePerCar", "ExpensesPerCar", "BreakEvenPerCar"
and put them into a metrics dimension.
MetricID Metric
1 NumberofCars
2 RevenuePerCar
3 ExpensesPerCar
4 BreakEvenPerCar
and hence the fact table design would be simpler.
Date,County,MetricID,Metric, CarType
Disadvanatages: A join is required
We would have to redesign our tables
tables are not aggregated anymore for specific metric types
if we notice performance is bad, we would need to go back to the old design
Advantages : Should new metrics appear, we dont have to change the design of the tables
its probably best practice
Note: date, country and cartype are already dimensions. we are just missing one to differentiate the metrics/KPI's
So I struggle a bit, what should I do? Redesign, or stick to the way I have done it, having
performance optimization in mind.
Thanks

"Usually the date is stored in sales table or product table.
ut here why they created separate Dimension table for date(Dim_date)? "
You should provide the link.
A good place to start with the basic concepts is :

Pick up some of his books and start going through them.

How to design a fact table to keep track of active dimensions?

I would like to design a classic OLAP facts table using a star scheme. The SQL model of the facts table should be independent of any concrete RDBMS technology and portable between different systems.
The problem is this: users should be able to select subsets of the facts based on conjunctive queries on the dimension values defined for the facts. However, the program that provides the interface for doing this to the user should only present those dimensions where anything is still selectable at all. For example, if a user selected year 2001 and for dimension contract code there is only a single value for all records in the fact table for that year, this dimension should not be shown to the user any more. This should be solved in a generic way. So for n dimensions in total, if the current set of facts is based on constraints from j dimensions, I want to know for which of the remaining n-j dimensions there is still something to select from and only show those.
The obvious way is to make a count(*) query on the distinct foreign keys of each of the dimensions on the fact table, using the same where clause. That means that one would need (n-j) such queries on the whole facts table and that sounds like an awful waste of resources given that the original query for selecting the facts could have done it internally "on the fly".
How can this be achieved in the most performant way? Is there a "classical" way of how to approach this problem? Is there tool support for doing this efficiently?
Any help or pointers to where one could find out more about this would be greatly apreciated - thank you!

>
Did you get the counts for each value of each dimension by doing a separate query with the current "WHERE" clause on each dimension?
>
My method doesn't apply to your use case. I wrote a Java class to create my own bit-mapped indexes on CSV files. So each attribute value was a one million bit binary raw.
I don't know, and don't want to know, what your particular requirements are. But I can show you a basic process that will work for large numbers of rows. Get a simple process working and then explore to see if it will meet your particular needs. Not going to answer questions here about anything but about my example code
1. Assume a single fact table with one primary key column and multiple single-value attribute columns.
2. The table is not subject to DML operations AT ALL - truncate and load if you want apply changes. Meaning it will be useful for research purposes on archived data.
3. The purpose of the table is to select the fact table ROWIDs for records of interest. So the only value selected is a result set of ROWIDs that can then be used to get any of the normal FACt table data and other linked data as needed.
Create the table - insert some records, create a bitmap index on each dimension column and collect the statistics
ALTER TABLE SCOTT.STAR_FACT
DROP PRIMARY KEY CASCADE;
DROP TABLE SCOTT.STAR_FACT CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;
create table star_fact (
    fact_key varchar2(30) DEFAULT 'N/A' not null,
    age      varchar2(30) DEFAULT 'N/A' not null,
    beer    varchar2(30) DEFAULT 'N/A' not null,
    marital_status varchar2(30) DEFAULT 'N/A' not null,
    softdrink varchar2(30) DEFAULT 'N/A' not null,
    state    varchar2(30) DEFAULT 'N/A' not null,
    summer_sport varchar2(30) DEFAULT 'N/A' not null,
    constraint star_fact_pk PRIMARY KEY (fact_key)
INSERT INTO STAR_FACT (FACT_KEY) SELECT ROWNUM FROM ALL_OBJECTS;
create bitmap index age_bitmap on star_fact (age);
create bitmap index beer_bitmap on star_fact (beer);
create bitmap index marital_status_bitmap on star_fact (marital_status);
create bitmap index softdrink_bitmap on star_fact (softdrink);
create bitmap index state_bitmap on star_fact (state);
create bitmap index summer_sport_bitmap on star_fact (summer_sport);
exec DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('SCOTT', 'STAR_FACT', NULL, CASCADE => TRUE);Now if you run the 'complex' query for the example from my first reply you will get

SQL> select rowid from star_fact where

----------------------------------------------------------------Notice that at line #6 the new index was used. The VIRTUAL column itselfl doesn't create data for the fact table; the definition only exists in the data dictionary.
The YOUNG_DIVORCE_NDX is real and does consume space. The tradeoff is additional space for the index but you make the query easier because you don't have to recreate the complex condition every time.
Oracle can work with the complex condition and combine the indexes so this really only helps the query writer. Your UI should be able to hide the query construction from the user so I would avoid the use of VIRTUAL columns and an additional index until you demonstrate you really need it.
If you provide users with their own RESULT table to store custom query results you could just store the query name and the set of primary keys from the result set. I used ROWIDs in the example but don't use rowid for a real application - use a primary key value that won't change.
So your UI would let users construct complext dimension queries for 'young_sportsters' and get a result set of primary keys for that. They could save the label 'young_sportsters' and the primary keys in their own work table. Then you can let them run queries that use the primary keys to query data from your active data warehouse to get any other data it contains.

FlashHelp files not displaying in topic pane

I have generated FlashHelp using RoboHelp 7. I then copied
the FlashHelp folder to a server via FTP.
When I view the ...index.htm file in the !SSL! folder on my C
drive, the system displays correctly. When I view the ...index.htm
file in the FlashHelp folder on the server, the .htm files are not
displaying in the topic pane. It states "Internet Explorer cannot
display the webpage. On the first page of the FlashHelp wizard, I
have the output folder and start page designated
(...!SSL!/FlashHelp/Index.htm). The default topic is
GettingStarted\home.htm.
Any suggestions?

If the toolbar and left pane are loading, the scripts must be
working correctly. Do you have a way to view a list of the files
that are actually on the server and verify that all your HTML
topics are present?
The reason I ask is that I had trouble recently with one
project in which I was getting application (Java "FileNotFound")
errors in my topic pane when accessing the help through the
application. I use version control, however, and once I had deleted
my files from the repository and then checked them in again, the
problem seemed to be fixed. But if you are doing FTP directly to
the server, you are probably not dealing with application builds.
In any case, the problem appeared to be that the server was not
recognizing that the files were actually there.

Detail sections not displayed with Crystal Reports 2010 Runtime (SP1 also)

I have migrated a VB app from RDC 9 to Crystal Reports 2010 and I'm experiencing a very strange issue.
In a report with 6 nested groups, the detail part is splitted in 7 section, and the whole detail has the "keep together" flag activated. At runtime, some detail sections are not displayed. There is no suppress condition on the detail section. The missed sections are those near bottom of the page. I suppose that when there is no room to print the section on the page and it should go on the next page, Crystal forget to display it.
I exported the report in Crystal format and reopened with Crystal Reports designer and the missed section are displayed.
The same report is displayed correctly using RDC 9.
If I show the group tree and select the missed section group, the section is correctly displayed on a separate preview page.
I've some screenshot to better demonstrate the problem.
I hoped SP1 will resolve the issue but unfortunately it didn't.

        MsgBox("Done")
7) Same issue print to printer using code:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
crReportDocument.Load("C:\Crystal\Test\Forum tests\Alberto missing detail section\Crystal Issue\Distinta di Taglio CR 2010.rpt")
Dim rcd As ISCDReportClientDocument
        rcd = crReportDocument.ReportClientDocument

"Define query parameters" popup in Dataset properties - Refersh field, not displayed for Sps in SSDT 2010 (Works fine in BIDS)

When we upgraded our SSRs projects to 2012, we are facing an issue in Data tools environment.
When we click REFRESH FIELDS button in Dataset properties, With query type as SP (For all our sps), the "Define query parameters" popup is not displayed.
When we checked the SQL Profiler for queries executed at back end , NULL values are used for parameters.
But when we Used the QUERY DESIGNER button, and clicked execute for sp, the popup comes.
For User defined Functions, the Popup comes correctly.
In BIDS, still we can open the RDLs and do the operations correctly
Please advice

Dear Wendy Fu
My Scenario is different.
In Query Designer, Every thing is fine (Parameter Popup is coming, and fields are populated under data set)
But what we need to do is
1, Select Query Type As SP
2, Select the required SP
3, Click Refresh Button
4, A "Define
query parameters" window popsup
5, Provide values and click Ok
6, Fields will be populated under the dataset
The issue we face is that, we are not getting the Define query parameters popup,
Hence NULL values are passed to execute the sp, to retrieve the fields set.
The Work around we are using now is editing the sp, and use
set @Parameter = Value
for each parameters in sp, and then we get the fields populated under dataset, when we click refresh.
The issue exists in both MSDT for
Visual studio 2010 & MSDT for Visual studio 2012.
But every thing is fine in BIDS with VS 2008 Shell for the same RDL

WebHelp not displaying content in left nav pane

Any suggestions for why WebHelp is not displaying contents in
the left navigation pane? When Help is called, it displays the
frame (including buttons such as glossary, search, contents, etc)
and the work area, but does not show the TOC in the left navigation
pane.
I have also tried generating FlashHelp, with the same
results. This time, only the work area displays. Any suggestions to
fix this?
This is a new project, where RoboHelp is being deployed for
the first time. Any suggestions for making this a simpler
transition would be much appreciated. I have used RoboHelp for many
years with a different company and do not recall ever running into
this many problems.
Help!

Sorry, I haven't used the CSH method which, by the way, was
designed to show only the topic at first, I think.
I give my developers a list of path/filenames for topics, and
they use this form:
.../helpdirectory/myproject.htm#targettopic.htm
There are some shortcomings to this method, which leaves the
window open and, when you call another topic, another new window
opens. In other words, you have to close the help window manually
to avoid windowmania.
A solution is a little js that checks to see if a window is
already open, closes it and opens a new one. (If no help window is
open, it's a harmless js error.) It's fast enough that you wouldn't
notice.
The downside here is losing the browser history. Forward and
back buttons work only so long as the help window stays open.
In my opinion, this is not a major concern, since many Web
based applications these days tell users not to use the back
button. Production users won't mind so much.
For ordinary people doing e-shopping and online banking, the
browser back button is anathema.
The bottom line is, if you have a decent set of navigating
options built into the design -- TOCs, left or right rail lists,
useful links at top and/or bottom of the topic page, the back
button can become superfluous.
Browe sequences work fine from any point in the lineup (I
know, it's not the same as browser history -- unless you give them
a really useful set of sequences).
The forever-loading left pane is gone in RH 7.
Hope this is useful.
