how to create a role playing dimension in SSAS. Like If I have a period dimension table with a key named as per_key and fact table which has keys named as from_per_key and to_per_key .Now both the fact table keys need to be connected to the Period dimension per_key.

Hi, dear friends,
Just found that I am not able to ignore the name column property for role-palying dimension even though I only select one of the key columns for this dimension in the mining structure where the role-playing dimension is used? E.g I have a fact table (which is the case table for the mining structure) which is related to the role-playing date dimension. The schema is as following:
Dim_event_day_time_key
Dim_carrier_day_time_key
Dim_domain_day_time_key
.....................................
and other attibutes in the fact table.
When I dragged the 'hours' attribute from the dim_day_time table to the mining structure, if I left the key columns of 'Hours' as the above 3 columns, then I have to select a name column, by then I dont have a name column in the dimension table yet. Therefore I want to jsut select one key column as the key of that role-playing dimension in the mining structure, but then I am not able to ignore the 'name column' property as it still always asks me to select the 'name column' for that.
Therefore my question is: we are not allowed to select only one key columns in the mining structure for the role-playing dimension? And we will have to always go to the data source view to create a named calculation as the new column for the role-playing dimension?
Hope my question is clear for your advices and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
Thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
I am modelling cube in SSAS. Cube has around 20 dimensions and 6 fact tables. Some of the dimensions are common among the fact tables. e.g. Time dimension. Fact_PNL has 3 date columns for those we have 3 role playing dimensions in the dimension usages.
Another fact table has 5 date columns for them as well we have separate role playing dimensions in dimension usage tab. We have a common dimension Company which is foreign key in all fact tables. We might need to combine the data from multiple facts to get final output.
Should i create 6 role playing dimension for each of the fact table or use the same dimension for all fact tables?
Role playing dimensions should be created when we have multiple columns pointing to the same dimension ?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had come across an issue where the icons in the dimension usage tab of the cube are not being displayed properly, for example if you use a many-to-many the little blue infinity sign is missing. It is a little annoying.
SP2 with BIDS helper, not to sure if BIDS helper did it or SP2, sure it was fine before
Anyone know how to fix it?
Cheers

I have a requirement to set Description values for our cube dimensions and attributes.
I've done this for regular dimensions but I cant seem to find a way for role playing dimensions. I can set the base dimension descriptions but not the 'clones'. Is this possible?
Hello:
Very soon my company will be moving to a 4-4-5 reporting schedule. Basically, what this means is that the first month of the quarter will have 4 weeks, the second will have 4 weeks, and the third will have 5 weeks. Therefore, for the 2007 the dates for Jan, Feb and Mar will be as follows:
Jan - 1 - 27
Feb - 28 - 24
Mar - 25 - 31
Currently, I have an SSIS package creating a record for each day in the Time Dimension. Is there any script out there that will help me build a Fiscal calendar such as the one described above?
I realize that this is not a direct SSIS question but I figured that some of you might have encountered this situation and hence my post.
Thank you!
I have a fact table with few flag columns.
What is the best way to bring them to dimension?
Do I need to create dimension(dummy) from fact table for each flag or all flags in single dimension?
I want to create database role which can be used for creating stored procedures like db_SPCreate.
User should be able to create SP on Schema PVR; and should not be allowed to create sP in otherthan schema and he can use any schema tables to create procedure.

Good Day,
I am having a problem with creating databases in MS SQL 2005 Server. When I attempt to assign an User Mapping for my SQL user account to the newly created database, the "dbo" user and schema is already assigned. When I try to drop this user in favor of my own, I receive an error message: Cannot alter the user "dbo" (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15150). I am connected to my database engine through the "sa" account.

I've got a view that creates a parent child relationship, this view isused in Analysis Services to create a dimension in a datastore. Thisquery tends to deadlock after about 10 days of running smoothly. Onlyway to fix it is to reboot the box, I can recycle the services for aquick fix but that usually only works for the next 1-2 times I call theview.This view is used to create a breakdown of the bill-to locations fromContinent-Global Region-Country-Sub Region-State/Province- City-ZipCodeYes, I know that sounds crazy, but it was a requirement.So why would I get a deadlock on a SELECT Query? Is there a way to setthe Isolation level to Repeatable Read for a view?Here is the view code:CREATE View dbo.vwBillToas-- US ZipCodeSelect 'Parent'=z.City+' ('+ ISNULL(RTRIM(z.State_shrt), '0') +cast(IsNull(z.US_Region_wk,0) as varchar) + ')',z.Zipcode_WK as 'Child',z.ZipCode_WK as 'Child_ID'Fromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_US zinnerjoin dbo.FACT_SALES fonz.ZipCode_WK=f.Bill_ToWherez.US_Region_wk IS NOT NULLGroupby z.City,z.ZipCode_WK,US_Region_wk, z.State_shrtUnion--CitySelect 'Parent'=z.State_Long+' ('+cast(IsNull(z.US_Region_wk,0) asvarchar)+')',z.City as 'Child',z.City + ' ('+ ISNULL(RTRIM(z.State_shrt), '0') +cast(IsNull(z.US_Region_wk,0) as varchar) + ')' as 'Child_ID'Fromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_US zWherez.US_Region_wk IS NOT NULLGroupby z.State_Long,z.City,z.State_shrt,z.US_Region_wkUnion-- Canada ZipCodeSelect 'Parent'=z.City+ ' ('+ ISNULL(RTRIM(z.province_shrt), '0') +')',z.Zipcode_WK as 'Child',z.Zipcode_WK as 'Child_ID'Fromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_CAN zinnerjoin dbo.FACT_SALES fonz.ZipCode_WK=f.Bill_ToGroupby z.Province_Long,z.ZipCode_WK, z.City, z.province_shrtUnion--CitySelect 'Parent'=z.Province_Long,z.City as 'Child',z.City+ ' ('+ ISNULL(RTRIM(z.province_shrt), '0') + ')' as'Child_ID'Fromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_CAN zinnerjoin dbo.FACT_SALES fonz.ZipCode_WK=f.Bill_ToGroupby z.Province_Long,z.ZipCode_WK, z.City, z.province_shrtUnion-- Canada ProvinceSelect 'CANADA',Province_Long,Province_LongFromdbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_CANGroupby Province_LongUnion-- CountrySelect t.Region_NK,c.Country_Name,c.Country_NameFromdbo.DIM_COUNTRY cInnerJoin dbo.DIM_WORLD_REGION tOnc.Region_WK=t.Region_WKWherec.Country_Name Is Not NullGroup by t.Region_NK, c.Country_NameUnion-- SubRegionSelect c.Country_Name,sr.US_Region_Name,sr.US_Region_NameFromdbo.DIM_US_REGION srInnerJoin dbo.DIM_COUNTRY cOnsr.Country_wk=c.Country_WKGroupby c.Country_Name, sr.US_Region_NameUnion--RegionSelect sr.US_Region_Name,c.State_Long,c.State_Long+' ('+cast(c.US_Region_wk as varchar)+')'Fromdbo.DIM_US_REGION srInnerJoin dbo.DIM_POSTAL_CODES_US cOnsr.US_Region_WK=c.US_Region_WKGroupby sr.US_Region_Name, c.State_Long,c.US_Region_wkUnion-- ContinentSelect Null,Region_NK,Region_NK[color=blue]>From dbo.DIM_WORLD_REGION[/color]WhereRegion_NK Is Not Null

Hi all,
please help me!! I've downloaded and installed the express edition file (SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services - 234mb) but all I'm getting on the program menu are the configuration tools! Something appears to be missing - can someone shed any light on this??
THanks in advance
Ive been reading over the documentation and some stuff online, but I still dont really understand what the difference is and when you would use one vs the other. Can someone put it in simple terms for this dummy (me) ?
thanks
Hi All,
I have a situation with a table that was created for a transactional
system with a 3 columns key. The table is similar to the following:
countrystatecitydescription
11221City A from country 1 and state 12
11321City A from country 1 and state 13
21422City B from country 2 and state 14
21522City B from country 2 and state 15
Now I'm trying to create a dts package that would allow me to build a
city dimension table with unique codes (keys) for each city. What kind of
transformation should I use to translate the old codes (based on the
country-state-city key) into the new ones and preserving the data
integrity?
Thanks,
Ignacio
In sql server 2000, I created some custom database roles called ProjectLeader and Developer. I would make these roles a member in the fixed database roles so that I would only have to add the user to the ProjectLeader or Developer role once and they would presto-magico have the security I wanted them to have with no unecessary mouse clicking. I'm not sure how to repeat this process in 2005? Management Studio doesn't seem to allow you to add a role as a member in another role. Is there a work around or solution for this?

Need some help building a query that does the following :

In my report/query, if [Time].CurrentMember = [Time].[YMD].[YMD].[2006].[200610].[20061031] I want to FILTER out all ClosedDate < [ClosedDate].[YMD].[YMD].[2006].[200610].[20061031]
Both Time Dimensions are Year -> Month -> Day and have the same Members.
I have every option available, using calculated Members and/or Measures to do this.
The report I'm creating is Aging of Receivables : Balance / 30 days / 60 days / etc.. But for the Aging, I need to filter like explained above.

Hi,
I have SQL server 2005 (Developer edition) installed and I want to add a database role to a database role. It is working on my SQL 2000 server,however, when I tried to do the same thing on SQL2005, It didn't allowed me.
When I go to the Add role and then adding members to the role, the browse screen does not allow me the choice of object type Roles. It only shows me "Users".
Can someone please help me with this and provide me some information of how / what should I set to get the Roles in object types list so I can add a role to a role.
Thanks
Hi , I'm looking for a way that SQL-S7 tells me, what db-role I have.
I want to avoid that the server generates an error message when I'm not
authorized to access an information. So I could give the users only that
information they are authorized for.
May be there is a stored procedure or a template ?
Or is there an other way for controlled checking whether I have the rights
or not ?
Thanks for help
When I assign a role to a user, the user is not actually getting the permissions defined in the role. I am forced to give the permissions directly to the user..any idea why it's ignoring the role which is assigned?
Thanks.
I have set up all new Roles assigned different views, table access to each user i set up.
Whilst setting this up - i could do script to generate the script.
Is there a way to get this script after the effect - some roles i forgot to generate script.
I know im being lazy - i could write the entire script out but thought maybe there a way to get this .
Thanks
Hello:
I have read that giving a User the DB_DDLAdmin role in SQL might causes problems with ownership chains in the future. Since the User will have ownership to all objects created, what preventive measures can one take to help avoid any problems which might loom in the distant future due to ownership chains?
Thank you,

Hi everybody,
The below I posted on SQL 2000 Forum about a week ago.
Any new thoughts................
I would like to get an input from as many people as possible on the following:
In our organization DBA is responsible for 5 servers ( currently NT 4/SQL 7)and is a part of group of a 5 people including manager and 3 developers.
DBA currently has a FULL access to every server.
In a few months we will be replacing the existing system with Windows 2000/SQL 2000.
LAN group will give to DBA only a read rights for the Windows 2000 environment, saying that the AUDITORS, both internal and external, require that. In other words, if DBA needs to run a command prompt, move files from one directory to another in Production environment, he has to fill the request to LAN, so LAN group would do that.
So I guess the main question(s) is:
What is the degree of involmment of DBA with Operating system?
Is DBA suppose to be an NT administrator ( I dont think so, since DBA has a lot of other thing to do?
If DBA accidently makes an unwanted changes to the Operating System, who should be blamed for ( not personally, but in more general terms) and would it be an extra argument to take write rights away from a DBA?
What auditors saying about that?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Andrei
Hi Everybody,
The end users are using VB Applications, there they will be entering datas. Those datas will be stored in the SMS Database.
My Problem is through which Roles (Fixed Server Roles or Database Roles) I should attach these end users. If it is a Fixed Server Roles, Other than sysadmin role in which role I should attach this end user. Like that other than DB_Owner in which role I should attach these end users to the Database Roles.
Can anyone guide me please.
thanks,
Srinivasan.

I am confused . What is considered an application and how SQL would know ?
If I have a web site accessing SQL VIA IIS will SQL Server treat it as an application ? How about MS Excel ?
Also , If I was to use the application of Power builder , using app role , how do control which user can use the app ?
Thanks
