Workspace Manager & Slowly Changin Dimension in Data Warehouse

Has anyone used Workspace Manager in a Slowly Changing Dimension to keep history in a Data Warehouse.
What issues have you come across?
What are advantages?
What are disadvantages?
Thanks
Uli

Hi Ben,
thanks for getting back on this and sorry for not updating earlier.
I had a brief scan through the documentation and Workspace Manager seems to be quite powerful. When I was reading through the docs originally I had the idea that this might be useful to reduce coding and improve performance in a Slowly Changing Dimension (type 2) DW scenario. I would hope for a performance improvement in both loading and querying data. So I thought before I get my hands dirty and do some tests I would check with the community to see if this is something that has been done before.
To answer your specific questions: I would like to keep every change. I would not need the primary workspace functionality for merging and version control etc. It would just be to keep history.
Again thanks for your efforts.
Uli

Service Manager 2012 R2 UR4 new Data Warehouse server

The instructions for SCSM 2012 R2 UR4 say that the Data Warehouse needs to sync with SCSM at least once prior to upgrading. How is this possible if I already have all management servers at UR4 and am now trying to add a new Data Warehouse server?

I recently did the same thing. Installed a Management Server to UR4, used it for a while and after i wanted to add a Data Warehouse-server. I just installed the DW-server added it to SCSM waited for all the syncs to be completed and then upgraded.
Do you have any errors in the operations manager log on the SCSM mangement server and on the DW management server?

Imported sealed Management Pack and its not showing up in Data Warehouse Job MPSyncJob

Hello,
When i try to Import a sealed Management Pack (with defined new Dimensions for Data Warehouse) it works fine, and it shows up under Management Packs under the Administration Pane. But its not showing up in the Data Warehouse Job "MPSyncJob".
No errors in the Eventlog on the DW Management Server and cant see any errors in failed Data Warehouse Jobs either.
I imported the MP three Days ago and still nothing.
Now what?
/Maekee

I have a smaller SCSM Lab that i can import this MP in and the classes are created in the DW. Now is the question why its not working in my PreProd env and why i dont get any errors in the Event Log? Anyone that can Point me in the right direction for
this?

Exchange 2010 Management Pack Data Warehouse Synchronization Fails

Hi Everyone!
Has anyone had success with importing the Exchange 2010 management pack into Service Manager 2012?
When we try to import it, it fails.
Upon further investigation, the 'System Center Core Monitoring' management pack (which is not included with Service Manager 2012) is a dependency of the Exchange 2010 management pack but
after we import it from the OpsMgr 2012 media, we still get the following warning when we import the Exchange 2010 management into Service Manager 2012...
"The management pack was imported successfully.
Warnings (1):
Override verification failed, cannot find Management Pack Element : : Cannot find ManagementPackElement [Type=ManagementPackRule, ID=Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent.MonitoringHost.PrivateBytesThreshold] in management pack ManagementPack:[Name=Microsoft.SystemCenter.2007,
KeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, Version=6.0.6246.0]."
...and, the Exchange 2010 management pack status in the Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse 'Management Pack' view indicates 'failed' after the MPSyncJob completes.
We have a few 'Business Services' which depend on the Exchange 2010 management pack that we are trying to synchronize from OpsMgr 2012 and we are stuck until we can get the Exchange 2010 management
successfully imported into Service Manager 2012 and have it show a status of 'Completed' the Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse 'Management Pack' view.
Nothing useful in the
Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse and Management servers events logs that we could see.
Any help or guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!
Regards,
JJ

Update: I Just tested with CU2 installed for SrvMgr 2012 and OpsMgr 2012 and version 14.3.38.2 of the Exchange 2010 management, but the management pack still fails to deploy to the SrvMgr 2012 data warehouse (the management pack status shows
up as 'failed' and the MPSyncJob shows the management pack as 'pending association'). The only clue I have for this problem is the folllowing warning which occurs when I import the management pack into SrvMgr 2012...
I also get the following 33519 Event ID warning in the Operations Manager event log on the data warehouse server...
~~~~~
Management pack association ignored. This does not require any action. If you continue to frequently see this warning, contact your administrator. This process will continue to retry.
Management pack ID: e2296ed5-ddbc-ebc7-3881-c5288adaa7cf
Management pack name: Microsoft.Exchange.2010
Management pack version: 14.3.38.2
Data source name: SRV
Message: Either the MP has failed deployment Or any of its references has failed deployment
~~~~~
Has anyone had success with getting the Exchange 2010 management pack imported and successfully deployed to the SrvMgr 2012 data warehouse?
The good news is that even though the Exchange 2010 management pack has a status of failed, the distributed applications in OpsMgr 2012 that depend on the Exchange management pack now show up under Configuration Items/Business Services including
all related service component objects which was what I was trying to accomplish in the first place, so for now I'll just leave the Exchange 2010 management pack in the data warehouse with a failed status.

Workspace Manager Wrong Aggregation

Hi to all,
I've created a cube under Analytic Workspace Manager with its dimensions, hierarchies and measures. But when I view cube data, it aggregates only first row of fact table. For example:
I have following fact table:
User Sales
John 15,30
John 18,30
and when I see cube data the result is the following:
John -> 15,30 indeed of John ->33,60
Why?
Thanks
Giancarlo

hi!
you're in the wrong forum, this is about the Oracle Workspace Manager (OWM), not the Analytical Workspace manager (AWM).
Correct forum goes here:

Syntax for WriterLoginName in Data Warehouse DB

Hello
I'm having a few issues with our management servers writing to the Data Warehouse DB. I've checked the 'Management Group' table and can see the WriterLoginName is set to
DOMAIN\sv-scom-dw - however, i'm just querying whether that field should read
sv-scom-dw
The account is in fact a domain account. It's listed as the 'Data Warehouse SQL Account' & 'Data Warehouse Action Account' (under Administration > Run As configuration > Accounts).
We have two entries in the database security (rights over OperationsMangerDW), one as DOMAIN\sv-scom-dw & a local SQL login called sv-scom-dw. Both accounts have the following permissions: apm_datareader, apm_datawriter, db_datareader, db_owner, OpsMgrReader,
OpsMgrWriter, public.
We're a SCOM 2012 R2 environment. All servers are 2012 R2, SQL is also 2012 standard.
Anyone faced a similar issue before? I'm seeing a lot of alerts in the Monitoring section for the Data Warehouse. One in particular:
Data Warehouse failed to discover performance standard data set. Failed to enumerate (discover) Data Warehouse objects and relationships among them. The operation will be retried.
Exception 'SqlException': Management Group with id ''5F201AB2-4B10-7FCC-C716-B2361102248D'' is not allowed to access Data Warehouse under login ''sv-scom-dw''
One or more workflows were affected by this.
Workflow name: Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Discovery.StandardDataSet
Instance name: Performance data set
Instance ID: {B81C47FB-A80D-0FE5-A8DB-DC4544FC8DA6}
Management group: ******
As you can see from the alert the account referenced is 'sv-scom-dw' and not 'DOMAIN\sv-scom-dw'. Which is why I originally asked, should the field in the management table be updated?
Thanks, David.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the responses, I shall provide an event ID shortly. In response to Mai, I've followed the link you've posted and I'm now checking the 'data source and related settings', so i've gone to http://localhost/reports on the Warehouse server (which
also hosts the reporting), and i've got the following error:

Oracle11gR2 Workspace Manager and table consistency after merge

Hi folks,
     I'm working with Oracle Workspace Manager in order to get data inserted and validated into workpaces before they become available to the LIVE workspace.
     Doing some tests I found a problem about data consistency after I merge the data from a child workspace to the parent workspace.
     To be able to explain and reproduce the problem I create a simple test case:
--Create table TB_LINK
create table TB_LINK
CD_LINK NUMBER not null,
DS_LINK VARCHAR2(30)
--Create primary key
alter table TB_LINK add primary key (CD_LINK);
--Create table TB_GUD
create table TB_GUD
CD_GUD NUMBER not null,
DS_GUD VARCHAR2(30),
CD_LINK NUMBER
-- Create primary key
alter table TB_GUD add primary key (CD_GUD);
-- Create foreign key
alter table TB_GUD
add constraint FK_TB_LINK foreign key (CD_LINK)
references TB_LINK (CD_LINK);
-- Create sequences
create sequence SEQ_TB_GUD

         7           DS1
         8           DS2
We can see that the CD_LINK got new values after merge and that was not expected.
select * from tb_gud;
   CD_GUD      DS_GUD                  CD_LINK
         6           GUD3                       3

         5           GUD4                       4
We can see that the CD_GUD got new values after merge and that was not expected.
Now, the values for the CD_LINK column does not have corresponding records at the TB_LINK table, as the foreign key does not exist anymore.
Could you please help me understand what is going on?
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Luis,
The reason for the difference is that the trigger is being run during the MergeWorkspace operation. The inserts into the child workspace(TEST_WKS) translates into an insert into the LIVE workspace during merge as the rows do not yet exist. As a result, the trigger is fired and the sequence is evaluated. Ideally, we should not allow the PK to be modified by a sequence in this case.
You have 2 options:
(1) Check for :new.CD_GUD being null prior to using the sequence. Any dml coming from a merge/refresh operation will have a non-null value.
(2) Turn off the trigger during dbms_wm procedures. This can be done using dbms_wm.SetTriggerEvents. I would assume you would only want this trigger being run for DML events.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Ben

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.

Foreign keys in SCD2 dimensions and fact tables in data warehouse

Hello.
I have datawarehouse in snowflake schema. All dimensions are SCD2, the columns are like that:
ID (PK) SID NAME ... START_DATE END_DATE IS_ACTUAL
1 1 XXX 01.01.2000 01.01.2002 0
2 1 YYX 02.01.2002 01.01.2004 1
3 2 SYX 02.01.2002 1
4 3 AYX 02.01.2002 01.01.2004 0
5 3 YYZ 02.01.2004 1
On this table there are relations from other dimension and fact table.
Need I create foreign keys for relation?
And if I do, on what columns? SID (serial ID) is not unique. If I create on ID, I have to get SID and actual row in any query.

Are you still designing your system? Why did you choose NOT to use a Star schema? Star schema's are simpler and have some performance benefits over snowflakes. Although there may be some data redundancy that is usually not an issue for data warehouse systems since any DML is usually well-managed and normalization is often sacrificed for better performance.
Only YOU can determine what foreign keys you need. Generally you will create foreign keys between any child table and its parent table and those need to be created on a primary key or unique key value.

I have no idea what that means. There isn't any way to tell from just the DDL for one dimension table that you provided.
It is not clear if you are saying that your fact table will have a direct relationship to the star-flake dimension tables or only link to them through the top-level dimensions.
Some types of snowflakes do nothing more than normalize a dimension table to eliminate redundancy. For those types the dimension table is, in a sense, a 'mini' fact table and the other normalized tables become its children. The fact table only has a relation to the main dimension table; any data needed from the dimensions 'child' tables is obtained by joining them to their 'parent'.
Other snowflake types have the main fact table having relations to one or more of the dimensions 'child' tables. That complicates the maintenance of the fact table since any change to the dimension 'child' table impacts the fact table also. It is not recommended to use that type of snowflake.
See the 'Snowflake Schemas' section of the Data Warehousing Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28313/schemas.htm
>
Snowflake Schemas
The snowflake schema is a more complex data warehouse model than a star schema, and is a type of star schema. It is called a snowflake schema because the diagram of the schema resembles a snowflake.
Snowflake schemas normalize dimensions to eliminate redundancy. That is, the dimension data has been grouped into multiple tables instead of one large table. For example, a product dimension table in a star schema might be normalized into a products table, a product_category table, and a product_manufacturer table in a snowflake schema. While this saves space, it increases the number of dimension tables and requires more foreign key joins. The result is more complex queries and reduced query performance. Figure 19-3 presents a graphical representation of a snowflake schema.

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!

Service Manager data warehouse management server Installation fails

Service Manager Data Warehouse Install - Analysis Server Configuration For OLAP Cubes Fail

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with my installation of the Data Warehouse for System Center Service Manager 2012 SP1.
My install environment is the following:
Windows Server 2012 – System Center Service Manager (Successfully Installed) - Virtual
Windows Server 2012 – System Center Data Warehouse (Pending) - Virtual
Windows Server 2012 – MS SQL Server 2012 – Physical, Clustered 1<sup>st</sup> of Four Servers
The SQL Server is a clustered installation with named instances, specifically for SharePoint and Service Manager. Each instance has its own IP address and dynamic ports are turned off. I’m installing using the domain administrator account and I also chose
to run the installer as administrator. The domain admin has sysadmin rights to the service manager server and instance I’m trying to install on. However, the account does not have sysadmin rights to some of the other instances.
The install is smooth up until it needs to connect to the Analysis server database. I have tried connecting to the analysis servers on other SQL servers on site and all were successful. The only difference between the older SQL servers, the SQL 2012 development
server and the SQL 2012 Production server I’m trying to install to is that the that the domain admin account doesn’t have sysadmin access on all the databases on the new production server. The SQL server is being installed and configured by a contractor so
if you all have troubleshooting suggestions, I’ll need to coordinate with the contractor.
Starting with the screen below, I began searching for help online. There seems to be no one else with this issue or it is not documented properly. I opened a ticket with MS, called the contractor and troubleshot with him, troubleshot as far as I could on
my own and I’m still at a loss as to what is preventing the installer from connecting specifically to the analysis server.
I first thought the installer was at issue or that the data warehouse sever was at issue. But all signs are pointing at the SQL server. The installer is able to connect to all the other SQL servers – including other 2012 servers (same versions) – so it can’t
be the installer. I’m pretty sure the SQL server is going to be at issue.
After looking at this error, I opened the resource monitor and clicked the dropdown to see if it was trying to connect to the correct server and it was. I then connected to the old and new test and development servers successfully. Then connected to the
SQL 2008 R2 production cluster successfully. I then compared the two servers. The only difference other than the version numbers is that the admin account doesn’t have sysadmin rights on all the SQL 2012 database servers. But the database servers are not the
problem. The analysis servers are.
I then checked the event logs and they are empty as far as this issue is concerned. Actually, there are no errors on the SQL 2012 production box and the Data Warehouse box. I then checked the log that the installer creates during every step of the installation
and this is what is created when the dropdown is clicked for the analysis server configuration screen. The log file location is:
“C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\2\SCSMSetupWizard01.txt”
In the file is the following text.

Service manager console can't connect to Service manager data warehouse SQL reporting services

When I start Service manager console, it gives this kind of error:
The Service Manager data warehouse SQL Reporting Services server is currently unavailable. You will be unable to execute reports until this server is available. Please contact your system administrator. After the server becomes available please close your
console and re-open to view reports.
Also in EventViewer says:
cannot connect to SQL Reporting Services Server. Message= An unexpected error occured while connecting to SQL Reporting Services server: System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

We have a four server set-up where SCSM, SCDW, and sqls for both are on different servers. Also I have red that this could be a SPN problem, but this has been worked on last week without the SPNs.

On the computer you get the "SQL Reporting Services server is currently unavailable" message please open the Internet Explorer and try to connect to the URL <a href="http:///reports">http://<NameOfReportingServer>/reports
This should open the reporting website in IE. If this isn't working you should check the proxy settings in IE. If the URL doesn't work in IE it won't work in the SCSM console as well (and vice versa).

Actually I can't access to the reporting website. It asks me credentials 3 times and then return a blank page. Also error message comes to the EventViewer System log with id 4 and source Security-Kerberos.
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server "accountname".
The target name used was HTTP/"reporting services fqn". This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client.
This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using.
Ensure that the target SPN is only registered on the account used by the server.
This error can also happen if the target service account password is different than what is configured on the Kerberos Key Distribution Center for that target service.
Ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both configured to use the same password.
If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (domain.com) is different from the client domain (domain.com), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains,
or use the fully-qualified name to identify the server.
I can access the website directly from the server which hosts Reporting Services.
Also I query "setspn -Q HTTP/"reporting services fqn" whit result NO SUCH SPN FOUND.

I am getting the error "Unable to connect to data warehouse management server" when I try to register it DWMS

I have a Data Warehouse Server that appears to be functioning but is running System Center Service Manager 2010 (w/ out SP1), Also have a functioning Configuration Management Server with Reporting Services Point installed the is running System Center
2012. Both systems are VM's running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise w/ SP1 fully patched. Both systems are running SQL Server 2008 R2 as well. When I try to register the Data Warehouse Server via the GUI using the console or in Powershell it errors
out. Particularly on the GUI with the error "Unable to connect to data warehouse management server". I can browse to it, ping it, get the configuration management reports to run and show my AD assets, etc... but it will not register the DWS. I have
tried every suggestion TechNet has to offer and I am hitting a wall. Can someone please, please, please help!?!

unplug modem and router and reboot.
check setting for network, verify password.
sign in. Enter computer information.
let me know if this works.

Management Data Warehouse Data Collection fails due to login failure

Hello,
I am trying to set up a Management Data Warehouse on a server other than the one I want statistics of. Unfortunately, each upload fails because the data collector upload job cannot log onto the warehouse server. For some inexplicable reason the process is trying to log on using domain\serverName. Obviously no such user exists, and the process fails. Below is the error message I see in the logs:
Description: An error occurred with the following error message: "An error occurred while verifying the result set schema against the output table schema. The data collector cannot connect to the management data warehouse. : Login failed for user 'domain\server name$'.".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zachary

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677211.aspx says
The data warehouse is installed on a different computer from the data collector. Probable causes are network connectivity problems or an unavailable host server. This error only affects upload packages.
Handling: Because there is no advance notification about a server shutdown, this error cannot be anticipated and handled automatically. The error is logged and after a brief interval, the upload is restarted. After four unsuccessful upload attempts, the collection set is disabled and its state is written to the execution log.
Note:
Any data that is collected while the collection set is running is kept and accumulated. If the upload package can connect to the data warehouse, the accumulated data is uploaded.
