Physical layer is required?

Hello

If we can create the star schema, appropriate joints and all that physical layer is made in the database itself. Can avoid us / is it possible to avoid the PHYSICAL LAYER in the repository. Is there a meaning to the physical layer?

In the layer MDB in a similar way also can avoid us this... because everything is done in the database itself.

Kind regards

Séverine.

Mandatory? Yes

But if everything is really done (once again: REALLY well done) in the DB when you import the objects from the database, you can also import the indexes and relationships and you end up with a physical layer to work without doing anything by hand. If it is perfect as it just slip & fall to MDB and there still no need to do any work by hand.

But be realistic: if I can imagine your physical layer from the DB itself because you have the correct definition of keys and links in the comic book, just keep in mind that if the layer MDB is called 'business' layer is because this isn't like the DB.

In the MDB, you are supposed to have commercial names, with spaces, lower case names. The logical keys aren't IDS used in the DB, etc.

Another detail: what about the dimensions, aggregations and hierarchies?

You can't them to DB, SUM, AVG, or any other rule of aggregation for your facts does not come from the DB. Hierarchies and levels of content related settings cannot be in the comic book.

If you guess, you have nothing to do in MDB, because it's done in the comic book you'll likely read again what is the MDB layer that is supposed to do.

    VVr,
    Again, you go ahead with the method described above, but be sure that you will do something weird here. You may face erros while creating a simple report based on 3 tables independent Sun for which I am not sure abt the granularity. Always do a test and for simple indicates it shud work well as BI server will automatically choose this made a model for SUN - SUN.

    A small question, why are you so stressed out creation made in the physical layer?

  • Advice in the physical layer

    Hello

    I am using clues in the imported tables of physical layer.

    I am specifying an index as an INDEX (INDEX_NAME TABLE_NAME) indicator

    When the BI server generates a query, the physical motion omits the name of the index but use an indicator like INDEX (TABLE_NAME)

    No sound reason to omit the name of the Index?

    How to solve the problem of problem BI server and check the indicator as entered when generating the query?

  • When I click on "Show data" in the physical layer, the system throws an error of that connection failed

    Hello experts.

    I've download a RPD on my local machine. I have already imported all of the tables used in this RPD on my local machine. I created the DSN (obiee_reports), and the test connection is successful.

    I created a pool of connections with the DSN (obiee_reports). However, when I try to "view data" in the physical layer, the system throws an error "connection failed". Also, I am unable to create any analysis.

    I m do not know what I missed. Please notify.

  • Unable to update the number of lines in the physical layer... connection failed in OBIEE 11 g

    Hi guys,.

    I am not able to make the number of rows updated in the physical layer, I get an error message failed to connect. It comes to OBIEE 11 g Linux approx.

    I put the tnsnames.ora file in the following path:

    / * / pkgs/linux/intel/OBIEE_DIT/MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1/network/admin /.

    I have no admin under

    / * / pkgs/linux/intel/OBIEE_DIT/MW_HOME/oracle_common/network /.

    But if I enter all TNS in Data Source name, I am able to connect:

    (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = xxx.xxx.com) (PORT = 1671)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = US1OBIEE)))

    I am not able to understand the question...

    Thank you

    Amit

    It seems that the RPD is looking for local tns config... try to use as hostname: port / ServiceName

    It should work, just in case where does not! stop to do so since it is question.

  • limitation of complex enter the physical layer

    Hi all

    Is there a limit on the modeling of MDB when we use the complex join in the physical layer. I have 1 and 4 Dimension table with more physical table relation.


    F-> D1-> D2-D3-D4 > >

    F.Col1 = D1. Col1, D1. Col2 = D2. Col2, D2. COL3 = D3. COL3 and D3. COL4 = case when D4. Col5 is null then D4. Another Col6 D4. End Col5)

    I use a complex join D3 - D4. In the report, I get the error [nQSError: 12002] communication to the Socket call = recv error: (number = 10038) an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket

    If I create the new calculated column CalCCol in D4 table in sql, containing the same logic (case when D4.) Col5 is null then D4. Another Col6 D4. End Col5) and using this join column in physics D3-> D4 (D3. COL4 = D4. CalcCol) in the physical layer, the report works without error.

    Should we do differently modeling in MDB layer or just this is a limitation with complex join in the physical layer?

    Fact table is joined with the D1 dimension table that has four (D1, D2, D3, D4) logic Table Source (LTS).

    Thank you

    Virat

    I don't think that there are limits for complex joins in MDB and physical layer. Correct me if I'm wrong...
    NQSError reg. : error 12002--> may be reason for cache currupted can see when it changes the online mode...
    Remove the cache and re-start the services that can help you.

    Assuming that you have mapped D2, D3, D4 tables D1 by add, button seems good.

    Send me your RPD record if you have any questions...

    Hello

    You can search in the administration tool > repository queries.

    Select Type = physical Table
    Click on filter > operator = OR > select item index = > contains > reference name

    If your meeting PARALLEL RPD, REWRITE, STAR_TRANSFORMATION advice in several tables, then mix with OR conditions such as

    Hi Experts,

    How should I do the between operator features in the physical layer if it looks like my needs?

    TABLE_1.COLUMN_1 = TABLE_2 is with COLUMN_2, COLUMN_3


    Here's the syntax for BETWEEN the function of the operator when I try to insert them.
    < < Expression > > BETWEEN < < upper limit > > AND < < minimum > >


    Thank you

    Try this

    'TABLE1 '. "' COLUMN1 ' BETWEEN 'TABLE2 '. "" COLUMN2 "AND"TABLE2 ". "" COLUMN3 ".

    This will return all the records where the value of Column1 is located between Column2 and Column3.

  • Close the connection to the physical layer

    Hello

    I would like to know how to turn off the connection to the source that I do not in my physical layer to avoid obiee server check at startup?

    As if I had a lot of connection to the source due to the installation of apps Olivier how can I disable them (outsourced metadata string, forecast...)?


    Thanks in advance

    because I found outsourced for example of metadata strings but not peoplesoft OLTP?
    This means - it is not verified by obiee server at startup

    I only need connection "oracle data warehouse.

  • Can we do the task from physical layer to the MUDE

    Hello

    Can we join tasks such as create alias, physical layer made with Dims in environment of MUDE. Because MÜDE is based on projects. Projects are created to layer MDB.

    Thus, when we check the project to the MUDE, can you see the tables imported into the physical layer, but not of joints between them and still make layer MDB?

    MÜDE means for the development of BMM layer and presentation only
    ?
    Thank you

    Please check - select them any project - connect on join env - table new import - extraction to the existing fact table. (or) Import all new fact and dimension tables and create a new datamodel in the physical layer.

    If you can do above steps means that you want to join the tables in the physical layer.
    When you create projects? Discover version or müde offline environment (in general, you need this)

  • How to create the hierarchy account ESSBase in OBIEE physical layer

    After you import the EssBase cube in RPD, the hirerchy account is created not by default (others are created automatically as period, currency, year, etc.).

    What should I do after clicking the Add button? and how can I define the hierarchy?


    Thanks for the help.

    Hello

    Could be faster if you duplicate your cube in the physical layer, change the Essbase cube properties, and uncheck the account that the hierarchy of the measure hierarchy, it should ask to be displayed in the physical layer with all hierarchies, attributes as if it where any other. You can then copy this into your cube duplicated in your original.
