Why you cant assign attributes with dense dim members

Hi Experts,
I have one stupid Q...
Why we cant assign attributes to the dense dim mem,
Is it bcoz
1) Essbase server was designed like this...
2)or else it will take too long time with dense dimension to calculate....
or else some other reasons
Thanks

First thing is Essbase will not support assigning attribute dimensions to dense dimensions.
For why they designed like this is an interesting discussion.
My point is if we directly point attributes to dense dimensions ie we are directly pointing to data blocks for that you need a seperate index.
By Assigning Attribute dimensions to Sparse standard dimensions you are reducing the data volumes and there by increasing the performance.
generally, Accounts and time are dense dimensions.
For those two dimensions there are in built tags like Expense, Time Balance and DTS provided by essbase so that you can meet your functional requirements based on tags.
Any however There is UDAs you can assign to dense members.
By UDAs you can group the dense dimension members and based on UDA tag you can achieve the needed grouping requirement.

  • Why to open Block only with Dense dimension Member ???

    Hi All,
    I want to understand the logic behind opening the block with dense member. Generally we open the block with member of dense dimension by fixing the sparse members
    e.g. below considering C1, P1,Working,Actual are members of sparse dimension customer, product, Version, Scenario.
    Fix(C1,P1,Working,Actual)
    Jan
    IF(Some condition)
    Calculation on Account Member
    ENDIF
    Now if i change the code as below making Jan in FIX and opening the block with Actual. How it will affect the performance. The Number of iterations in total number of datacells will be same in bothe cases above and below then why to give priority to dense dimension member for opening the block.
    Fix(C1,P1,Working,Jan)
    Actual
    IF(Some condition)
    Calculation on Account Member
    ENDIF
    ENDFIX
    I know the logic behind keeping sparse dimension member in FIX but here i think keeping 'Actual' member for opening the block is also a type of fix which will tell the code to do the calculation only for blocks of 'Actual'.
    In 1st case i have fixed the number of blocks containing members C1,P1,Working,Actual and by keeping Jan for opening block means Jan is also fixed for the particular application means code will not run for feb march etc.
    Means code will run for C1->P1->Working>Actual->Jan
    In 2nd case also i have fixed C1,P1,Working,Jan and by keeping Actual for opening block means Actual is also fixed for the particular application means code will not run for other members of Scenarion dimension.
    Means code will run for C1->P1->Working>Jan->Actual
    Then what is the difference??? Why it will effect performance???

    when using an IF statement in a calc script you have to specify a member to associate it with for the calc member block. This is like temporarily assigning it to that member as a formula in the outline. In most cases calculations on dense dimensions can work faster as the block is in memory. Remember that a block statement can have multiple calculation statements in it. When this occurs, having the calculations on a dense member can speed it up as it may not have to swap blocks to do the calculation.
    Also consider that if a sparse combination of members does not exist, the block will not exist and there will be no attempt to do the calculations. If a sparse member is on the calc member block, it will cycle through all of the sparse members looking to do the calculation.

  • Why to use Item Attribute with Event in case of some controls

    A question about Event.Item
    When i saw the example of MenuBar , i observed that we can get the data of the MenuBar clciked   using a Event.Item@label .
    I am having a question here , please tell me why Flex Framework is designed in such a way that getting data from the Controls is different for different controls .
    I mean to ask why is it different in ncase of a MenuBar we have to use Event.item@label .
    CXan anybody please tell me why what significance does an Item attribute have in case of a Event ??
    Thanks in advance .

    It looks like you probably have ProductID setup as your key attribute. The key attribute has to be unique as it defines the granularity of your dimension. So based on the data you have shown ItemID should possibly be the key attribute.

    Hi a, Glad you removed Norton. On Skype, go to Tools & Manage add ons. Find any add ons that pertain to
    Skype and Disable them. Once these problems have been solved then you can always enable any that have been disabled.
    Anytime you lose an Internet connection you will receive those kind of errors. Wireless connections are subject to a loss of signal. I would contact your Carrier and report them.
    Any site or game that tells you to update Flash Player, ignore. You did the right thing going to Youtube. If that works, then disregard anything to the contrary. That site is having a problem, not you. Take care not to disrupt your Flash Player Installation!!
    On Avast not being able to update would most likely be due to the loss of signal. That Avast updated 3 times is not unusual. That is just a sign of additional risks. I had Avast and during some periods that was done also. No problem.
    While you are still in the process of removing programs and troubleshooting, if there are any add ons/plug-ins/extensions that are causing an issue, I would disable them. Once you have your troubleshooting done, then see about them.
    On McAfee, didn't that Install with FP at one time? I think you removed that as I recall. You can refer to the instructions I gave you to remove it and make sure it is not there.
    Thanks,

  • Is there any way to read word or odt files in my alcatel fire e?and a second question,why i cant read emails with attachments?

    i download from marketplace apps like document viewer and web odf for odt files but non of them make the job right.

    Hi j.yiogg,
    Can you please elaborate what you mean when you say that these applications do not make the job right? What issues are you encountering? Is it on only one specific file, or with every file you open?
    Regarding your question about Emails not opening - do you mean that you are not able to read the contents of any email that has an attachment, or that you are not able to view certain attachments?
    The Mail application only supports certain attachment types, so depending on the file type, you may not be able to view or download the attachment.

  • Why does apple sell phones with "INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY" when they cant service the phone in India, which has been bought outside India ? Whats the use of their registered service centers ?

    i got my iphone 5 as a gift from my friend when he went on a business tour to Dubai. i have a got problem with the native camera app and i contacted the customer care more then 3-5 times and they finally gave me a solution to check with the service centers avialble in  my city. i went all the way there from my place and they said you cant service your phone over here since its has been bought outisde India ! then why do APPLE ship phones ? why do they have REGISTERED SERVICE CENTRES in India ? why do they sell apple products with the tag INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY ?

    There is a problem insofar as you did not buy the phone.   Any warranty would therefore apply to the buyer.   What I would suggest is this ...
    With the receipt in your hand, telephone the store where it was purchased.  Explain the situation and ask them how you should proceed.    You may find they'll only deal with your friend but if he/she is willing, it can still be pursued in your friend's name.
    Once you have agreed a way of getting it serviced you will need to return the phone, and as I suggested, by a registered post system that requires proof of delivery.  Most postal services do this.
    Pack the phone, preferably in its original box and surround it with extra packing. You do not want anyone to have grounds to say it was further damaged in transit.
    Include a dated letter stating what the fault is and affix to that a copy of the receipt.
    I hope you are successful.   Thank you for the star.

  • Can you assign attributes via the OutlineLoad.cmd utility?

    I create a attribute dim named 'Project Admin' with base dim 'Project'. I now want to assign the person to the various Project ID's under Project. Can I do this via OutlineLoad.cmd? The examples in the Planning Admin Guide don't give one of assigning these. I tried the below but it just created a new Attribute Dim named 'TextAttrib' for the Project Dimension.
    OutlineLoad.cmd /A:APPNAME /U:admin /M /I:F:\cripts\Automation\scripts\Metadata\ProjMgr\DimBld_Files\ProjMgr.csv /DAT:TextAttrib:"Project" /L:F:\scripts\Automation\scripts\Metadata\ProjMgr\Logs\ProjMgr.log /X:F:\scripts\Automation\scripts\Metadata\ProjMgr\Logs\ProjMgr_Bld.exc /C
    My ProjMgr.csv file looks like. Just trying to get sample to work before I try thousands....
    TextAttrib,Parent
    Davis_William,Proj_12345

    You can assign attributes while loading your project dimension, see below for .csv format
    Project,Parent,Alias:Default,Data Storage,Project Admin
    Project_12345,Project_12345_Parent,,Davis_William

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1771 why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies

    why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies!!!

    HI,
    Apple did not erase iChat.
    Messages in Mountain Lion is iChat +
    The plus bit is the fact you can iMessage iOS devices.
    All the other features that were in iChat are still there.
    If you upgraded Lion to get to Mountain Lion then in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars you probably list all the iChat Accounts (Screen Names and IDs).
    You may need to enable them for Messages.
    They should also show up in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts
    Once those accounts (AIM and Jabber) are Enabled they can be viewed in a Combined Buddy List
    Windows Menu > Buddies (Or using CMD + 1 Keystrokes)
    In the General Section of the Preferences you can Unlink these Buddy lists.
    The Green icons or highlight a Buddy and then using the Buddies Menu or the icons at the Bottom of the Buddy list can be used the same way to start Video or Audio Only chats.
    The iMessage "Account" is only for texting iOS devices or other people using their Apple ID on a Mac in Messages.
    It is an account "in addition to" rather than "taking over from" the services that iChat can join.

  • Why you cannot compress data while attribute change run is active?

    why you cannot compress data while attribute change run is active?
    Also, are there any prerequisites before running a compression.
    Will the aggregates get inactive after running compression?
    Regards,
    Simmi

    Hi Simmi,
    I'm not sure what are u looking for ..???? now u are asking whther if activation starts at the same time for 2 ODS,.. there wont be any problem if the activation starts parallelly..
    but these activation fails if the change run is running for the common master data. So make sure that when ever change run is running the corresponding master data will gets lock. thats the reason why u can see locks in rollup, compressions or any other parallel change runs....
    Hope this helps....
    Assign points if this helps.
    thanks

  • Why iMovieHD? When you cant even burn in HD?

    Theres my question. I plan on getting http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SYDisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=HDRFX1&Dept=cameras&CategoryName=dcc_ DICamcordersHighDefinitionVideo . Which from what I've been reading is great (WILL THAT CAMERA BE compatible with imovie?!) But I been doing a lot of thinking, and just figured something out. Whats the use in recording in HD, and then editing in HD when you cant even burn in HD?

    Whats the use in recording in HD, and then editing in HD when you cant even
    burn in HD?
    I suppose a tougher user question would be this: I have an HDV camera. Why does iMovie force me to edit all my projects in DV instead of HDV? The answer: It doesn't. It lets you shoot and edit your HDV for delivery tomorrow.
    So that's the reason iMovie HD is important to me: When I get an HDV camera, at some time I WILL be able to burn my iMovie HDV project onto an HD DVD.
    We can't expect all the hardware and software for recording, editing and burning HD DVDs to all arrive on the same day. (Even if it were today, there still wouldn't be a way to play the HD DVD on an HDTV.)
    But after spending hours, days or weeks working on an iMovie project, I want to know that my HDV project to be ready for HD when all the other pieces come together. Our iMovie HDV projects WILL be ready, because we're ahead of the product delivery curve. In one, two or three years I won't have to trash all the work I've done and start over.
    What can we do today? Burn a widescreen SD DVD of the HDV project.
    It's a win/win, but some of the winning will be in the future.

    Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
