Data Starts To Repeat When I Add A Dimension.
Jun 27, 2006
Hello, I€™m creating a cube with Analysis services 2000 and SQLServer 2000 that has the following structure:
The fact table has a primary key and some measures:
Fact_Table
PKFact (the primary key)
Measure 1
Measure 2
And I have some dimensions, but I€™ll put here the one of interest, this dimension has a foreign key to the fact_table, this is because it is really a €œdetail€? of the fact table, the interesting thing here is that this dimension not only has a foreign key to the fact_table, but also is a parent-child dimension:
Dimension_Table
FKFact (the foreign key to the €œPKFact€? field of the fact table)
PKId (The id of the field for the parent-child relationship)
FKParentId (the foreign key to this same table, this is, the parent of the field)
TheLevel (the data€¦)
So, if I create the cube without the Dimension_Table (of course, I have more dimensions), the cube shows the data correctly, but when I include this dimension, the data of the fact_table starts to be repeated once for each row in the dimension table (once for each row that has the relation PKFact €“ FKFact of course), Somebody knows how I can avoid this data being repeated? I€™ve tried a lot of things but none works.. Please help!!
Thanks in advance.

I have a table. In that table I have a list by student number that lists the entry dates into a particular grade. When trying to list only the first time entered, there is no unique way to identify one row from another other than the date. Is there a way to use max or min to only pull one date per student number? I have done a series of case when statements and I am able to get it down to 1 to 2 entries per student number, but I need to get it down to only 1 date per student number.
Thank you for your help
SELECT DISTINCT mx.stu_num,
CASE WHEN er.STU_NUM = ep.STU_NUM
THEN er.enterdater
ELSE CASE WHEN ea.STU_NUM = ep.STU_NUM
THEN ea.enterdatea
ELSE CASE WHEN eb.STU_NUM = ep.STU_NUM
THEN ep.enterdatep
ELSE eb.enterdateb
END
END
END AS entrydate
FROM dbo.mx AS mx LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.v_EntryDate9_R AS er ON mx.stu_num = er.stu_num LEFT OUTER JOIN

Hi,
I have one data driven task set up in my DTS package. for some reason the connection to data source is not available when my package is scheduled to run,which fails the package.
is there a way, I can set the task to try to execute again after a couple of minutes or 5 mins, maybe a predefined number of times before it fails the package?
Thanks & Regards

I've never attempted to use the "Repeat Report Item with Data Region on Every Page " feature before. I'm trying to use it on text boxes with the data region being a matrix. I have a report that is two pages, and the text boxes are only appearing on the first page. Also, the matrix is appearing with zero space between it and the header. Any ideas?

W2k3 server, SQL 2005.
@@version = Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2
(Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.
I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...
One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.
The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.
Example:
Incoming data is:
1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3
4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim
5
6 White,Debra
Data inserted into the table is:
1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3 Brown,John
4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
6 White,Debra
I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Thank you.

I'm still fairly new to cubes, so bear with me. I'm trying to figure out if I should include aggregate data (e.g. total employees per facility) in a dimension table or if I should use the finished cube to get the counts (MDX?). Thanks for any help that you can provide.

We have a set of cubes and dimensions, and we're experimenting with data mining against the cubes (primarily for forecasting applications). We have a custom time dimension (which we call calendar), not generated by the BIStudio wizard. The dimension has year/month/day/hour/... attributes. But when I try to add this Calendar dimension to the mining structure as a nested table using BI studio, it only shows the Year attribute, not the others. Other dimensions seem to show all the attributes.
Is there something we've done wrong in defining our time dimension? What determines which attributes show up as available for selection in BI studio?

I have a table that is increasing quite largely each day. By now, I have average 300 million of records over 2.5 years. Before we received our new interface, the data we received was aggregated and thus not that big.The problem is that the table is so huge that I cannot use the Slowly Changing Component. I was thinking about making a temp table where I load the incremental data before I load it into the final data mart table.Based on this temporary table I use a script to compare the temp data with the already existing data in the data mart. However, this requires a compare of each records (300 mil records).

I have 5 cubes, and hierachy defined for all cubes. for example:geography database with 5 continents as cubes and contries as dimensions.Now when i am doing security restrictions on my dimension ex: In USA dimension if i want only to give access to texas region then i should be able to see only texas cities. But i cansee all the states under USA even after selecting only Texas region under Dimension data tab inside ROles section in SSMS.I have tried security at database ,cube level as well as dimension level.But still not working.is that because of some wrong design of cubes or something related to database design.? I am not able to undersand that except roles everything in my cubes or datawarehouse is working fine without and defect in data.

I have an Integration Services package that loads new data into tables that are dimension tables wi my cube. The same situation exists for my fact table. If I perform an "Analysis Services Processing Task" for the dimensions ,cube and measures, will that move the new data into my cube or do I need to perform the "Dimension Processing Destination" data flow task prior to this? Is the initial processing task good enough?
thx,
-Marilyn

Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.
I have never seen this error before... When I click on DTS to either open an existing package or create a new one I get the following errors: Error in the DLL, DTS Design Error. When I try to create a new DTS it gives me the errors but still opens but I'm missing all of the connection objects except for MS data link and other connection. I had no problems designing and executing the packages from a development box. I'm not even refering to the typical scheduling problems that exist when SQL Agent is configured incorrectly!

In SQL 2000 you can schedule a job to run each time the agent starts. I don't see that option now in 2005.
Does anyone know what happened to that or how to achieve that. I could do a stored proc with the proc option I guess but why did they remove that functionality or maybe I am not seeing it.
Thanks

How do I correctly populate a fact table with the surrogate key from the dimension table?

I have a Fact table that contains several degenerate string values that I have pulled into a Fact Dimension.
When I browse the cube and cut one of the measures by an attribute from the Fact Dimension, I am getting incorrect data.
In other words, when I query the fact table directly via SQL and apply the same filters, I see the data I am expecting to see. But cube browse with same filters yields different results.
How can this happen since the fact dimension has a 1:1 relationship with the fact table.
I do have the Dimension Usage configured properly.
Is this an aggregation thing? Attribute key thing? What am I missing?

I am trying to move SQLMail from a standard SQL 6.5 server to a virtual clustered SQL Server. The exchange profile has been set up and the services are running on a domain login. Exchange is also running as a clustered service which is being used successfully from the standalone SQL Server with SQL Mail.
However, when the SQL Mail service is started on the Clustered SQL Server, the service starts for about 5 seconds and then stops. The logs report that SQL Mail started but no messages are recorded to state that why the service has stopped again.
Any clues anyone please?

How would I write a query on a table containing a column of ints, where I want to retrieve the rows where that int value starts with a number? I know that you can do this with strings by using "....WHERE thisfield LIKE ('123%')", but if 'thisfield' is an int, how would I do this? Thanks!

I have a laptop with vista and sql 2005. When i start my computer, after it boots up and is ready to go, I look in the task manager at the process tab. Some sort of SQL Server component is running and eating up about 50k's worth of memory. What is it and how do set either Vista or SQL Server to not start whatever this is unless I do it manually(oh yeah...how would I turn it on?)and what are the ramifications of not having it start up when i start my laptop?
I know it is a rather rambling question, but its the best I can describe it. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have just installed SQL Server 2005. The machine had an expired version of SQL Express on it which I removed. Now when i go to open the Management Studio it says it can't connect. When I check the service, it is set to automatic using the local account but is not running. When I start it, it throws an error stating that it started and then stopped. The first error record in the log file states:
Server TCP provider failed to listen on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1433]. Tcp port is already in use.
Could this be causing the problem? How do I check to see what is using 1433? In general, what the heck did I do wrong during the install? One article said something about the new installation thinking it was still the expired version. Could there be something left in the registry from the old version of Express causing this?
Thanks in advance for the help

SQL Server 2005 installed on Windows Vista Ultimate
When I try to start the agent, it return with the message that the service started and then stopped. On investigation I found that the Windows Event Log service won't start, returning the error:
"error 4201: the instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI
data provider"
(I have posted this on Windows Vista forums but had no response).

I've created a FullTextCatalog on one of my Databases and added a full text index on one of my text columns.
The first time I run a query against the data it takes roughly 40-45 seconds to return data. After that it blazes and runs in under a second. If I don't query it for 20-30 minutes, it will take 40-45 seconds again and then fly until the next break.
Is there a configuration setting somewhere that I'm missing on this? Currently the Index is only about 5MB so it should take that long to read in when I'm querying it.
I don't think it has anything to do with size because the actual return can contain anywhere from 10-80K rows and the speed is about the same.
I'm using Standard edition on a 2003 Standard Server if that plays into the potential problem at all. We're currently downloading and installing the new Service Pack to see if that fixes it, but for some reason I'm not holding my breath. I'm assuming that there is something we need to change in the configuration.
Let me know if I'm missing any pertinent information. Thanks.

Hello,
I tried deploying a Report Model Project and received an error:
"TITLE: Microsoft Semantic Model Designer
------------------------------
A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/ReportServer.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The request failed with HTTP status 405: Method not allowed. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.SemanticQueryDesign)
------------------------------
When I checked services I realised that Reporting Services wasn't started. I tried starting it and received a message:
"The Sql Server Reporting Services (MSSQLServer) started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do.........."
I also tried to start the service from Configure Report Server and received an error:
"System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)"
Any idea why this is happening? Should I install SP2?
