Hi
I am strugglinh since last 2 days .SSIS is giving me torrid time
I am getting error while loadding the fact table

Please help
I have already googled for this error and appied whatever tips were given.
I have delta loaded all the dimension tables now and each dimension table is related to fact table through a surrogate key, How do i further load a fact table. Please tell me I am stuck up here.. :( .
If any one has an example to refer please do tell me
Say you have a fact table with a few columns that all reference the same key column in a dimension table, you want to write a view to return the information for those keys?
USE MyTestDB; GO SET NOCOUNT ON; IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.FactTemp' ,'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.FactTemp;
[Code] ....
I'm using very small data at the moment, and the query plan and statistics don't really say which way.
I have to load my fact table using data from my stage table and joining it against dimesnsions, most of my dimesions are straight joins that I can implement using Lookups , howevere in one join I am using something like this
SELECT T.Dim_Time_ID ,
SUM (Measure)
FROM [dbo].[Stage_Table] S
INNER JOIN Dim_Time T
ON SUBSTRING(T.MonthYear,1,3) = SUBSTRING(S.Time,1,3)
AND SUBSTRING(T.MonthYear,6,2) = SUBSTRING(S.Time,6,2)
Currently I am using a copy column transformation to make a copy of this column, and then using substring function in my SQL code and the Lookup Transformation joining the data to get the desired output, was wondering if there is any other (better) way of accomplishing this inside the data flow.
I'm loading a fact table that has several geographic attributes - some are at the state level, some are at the county level, and then some are drilled farther in that that. I understand the basic concept of the dimension with the ragged hierarchy, but unsure of how to load to the fact table using lookups based on these geographic units. For example, if my geographic dimension contains 200 records for the state of Wyoming, basically a record for each fine-grain place (i.e. city/town), then how do I go about doing a county lookup. Wyoming only has 23 counties, but because of the repetitive nature of the dimension attributes that are not at the finest grain, I'll get more records in the lookup than I need. This activity repeats of course while I move up the geographic scale to state, then country. How do I configure/fill my dimension to handle these differing scales of data?
My time dimension has date mm/dd/yy 00:00:00 where as the source has mm/dd/yy and some time not 00:00:00 I am sure the iserts in fact table are failing. I do not want the time part to come anywhere in data mart. what should i do in SSIS.
I have  a large fact table about 500 million rows, and I am using 2008 r2, thus I am having the file system error, I have browsed online and tried all the fix , but I am still having the error . I tried taking only about year data (which was still around 200 million records) and  I was still having the error.

We get this error when we try to check the properties of an analysis server using SQL Server Management studio. We have resolved this issue twice by Stopping the SQL Server analysis service,removing db folders from Analysis Server Data folder and starting the services back on. The db folder that we removed was advised by the BI team.
I cannot create a measure that returns results for dates that do not exist in the fact table despite the fact that the components included in the measure contain valid results for these same dates.Creature a measure that counts the number of days where the "stock qty" is below the "avg monthly sales qty for the last 12 months" (rolling measure).Here is the DAX code I have tried for the measure (note that filter explicitly refers to the date table (called Calendar) and not the fact table):
Below you can see the sub measures (circled in red) are giving results for all days in the calendar.Highlighted in yellow are dates for which the StkOutCnt measure is not returning a result. Having investigated these blank dates, I am pretty confident that they are dates for which there are no transactions in the fact table (weekends, public holidays etc...).why I am getting an "inner join" with my fact table dates despite the fact that this is not requested anywhere in the dax code and that the two sub measures are behaving normally?
I am working on a model where I have a sales fact table. Each fact record has four different customer fields (ship- to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer). I have one customer dimension table that joins to the sales fact table four times (once for each of the customer fields above). When viewing the data in Excel, I would like to have four hierarchies (ship -to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer) within Customer.Â
Is there a way to build hierarchies within my Customer dimension based on the same Customer table? What I want is to view the data in Excel and see the Customer dimension. Within Customer, I want four hierarchies.Â
I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.Â
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.Â
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.Â
We need to Insert/Update a Fact Table from staging Table. currently we are using a SP which update Fact Table for Each region. this process is schedule, every 5 min job is run and Update fact table.but time of Insert and Update too long from staging to Fact, currently we are using merge statement for Insert and update.in my sp we are looping number how many region we need to update and at a time single Region we are updating using while loop in current SP.
I would like to know how to use a fact table so that when I insert or update a row with a word that the table will reference the fact table to make sure that the word I'm using is correct.
for example I have a table with column Fulltext and Abbreviation in the fulltext column I have a a word "Windows Server 2008" now in the abbreviation I would like to abbreviate this to "Win Srv 08" Now the Fact table would have to columns Fulltext and Abbreviation under Full text the full words would be in it like Windows, Server, and 2008 and under the Abbreviation column Win, srv, and 08
So I want it so that everytime the word Windows comes up and I need to type an Abbreviation for it that it will reference the fact table which is using the Abbreviation Win. To avoid different ways of abbreviating the word windows.
Is there a way to do this automatically so that I don't have to manually go back and forth between the fact table and the table that I'm updating?
we have a problem with "one-to-many relations between fact table and dimension table". Take the example of table "LOGGEDFLAW" which is related one-to-many to the table "LOGGEDREASON. "LOGGEDFLAW" includes the column "FLAWKEY" and "LOGGEDREASON" includes the column "REASONKEY" and essentiallay the column "FLAWKEY" as foreign key. Now assume that we have the following records in there:
Now assume, that "LOGGEDFLAW" is the facttable and "FLAWCOUNT" is the measure with the source column "FLAWKEY" in which we want to count the number of FLAWs. As you see in the example the number of FLAWs is 1 for "FLAW1" and "FLAW2". Microsoft Analysis Server generates the value of 2 for the number of FLAWs "FLAW1" because of the one-to-many relationship to the table "LOGGEDREASON". In the attached ZIP File you find :
- a MDB File with the described example - a screenshot from the cube constructed in AS - a screenshot from the result table generated with AS.
The question: How is it possible to calculate the measure "FLAWCOUNT" correctly, ignoring the records generated by the one-to-many relationship?
In my data modell I have defined the 2 tables "Person" and "Category":
Table "Person" ---------------- [PersonID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL [CategoryID] [int] NOT NULL [FirstName] [nvarchar](50) [LastName] [nvarchar](50)
Table "Category" ---------------- [CategoryID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL [CategoryName] [nvarchar](50)
Now I like to read my first row from the source and lookup a value for the CategoryID "sailing". As my data tables are empty right now, the lookup is not able to read a value for "sailing". Now I like to insert a new row in the table "Category" for the value "sailing" and receive the new "CategoryID" to insert my values in the table "Person" INCLUDING the new "CategoryID".
I think this is a normal way of reading data from a source and performing some lookups. In my "real world" scenario I have to lookup about 20 foreign keys before I'm able to insert the row read from the flat file source.
I really can't belief that this is a "special" case and I also can't belief that there is no easy and simple way to solve this with SSIS. Ok, the solution from Thomas is working but it is a very complex solution for this small problem. So, any help would be appreciated...
I have a large flat file that comes to me. I first import the flat data in to a SQL table for ease of use. Then i put it into a more permanent table with the proper references to dimension tables. I want to build a dimension table out of information from my flat file. I have a dimension table with columns, [Org Client], and [Client#] where [org client] is the name of the client. Both of these columns appear in my flat file but i want to use only the client# in my permanent table. How extract distinct values of client # and [org client] into a dimension table?
My idea was to select distinct values of client# and use some type of foreach loop to go through each client# and use a query to select the TOP(1) values of [org client] where client# = x. Would this work and if so how do I go about setting this up?
I'm really hoping there is a simpler way than this. Thank you all for your time.
I am writing a BI solution for a recruitment company. In their business, the can be n number of participants from different dimensions linked to the same fact record. For example, a client can be sent the CV of 50 candidates. That's my first problem. My second problem is the variety of dimension participant types for a given fact record. This results in the need for nullable dimension FK's - which I'm trying to avoid. For example, consider the following two business events. In the first one, a candidate fills a job. Easy, we have a record in the fact table where the fact table has the following columns: DateKey, EventType, CandidateKey, VacancyKey. No nullable columns, great. But there are other events that I want to store in the fact table too. Let's go back to my first example: The client is sent CV's of 50 candidates in one transaction. So there is one client linked to the fact, but 50 candidates. So now I need to extend the fact table and add another column: CandidateGroupKey (which links to and Intermediate Fact Table). But in this case there was no vacancy involved. So do I now have to make the VacancyKey column nullable? That doesn't seem like a good idea... Or do I have to go for a completely different approach and have different fact tables instead of just one?
Now I have to populate the fact & dimension tables by writing sql scripts. Now I have already populated the dimension tables by writing sql script, But I have to populate the fact table taking into account, here I am facing problem in wriring sql script
(i) unit_price is taken from the book base table with reference to the isbn (ii) sales_quantity is taken from the order_detail.quantity with reference to table cust_order(via orderid & orderdate) (iii) discount_price is determined dependent on the quantity. if the quantity > 20 then discount 20 %(i.e discount_price = 0.8 * unit_price). if quantity < 10, no discount i.e normal price. if quantity between 10 and 20, discount 10%. Note that the quantity is determined based on each order of each customer, thus if the same book appears at multiple positions in an order, those positions shall be grouped together. This could happen because the pk of the order_detail table is order_id + item no, not order_id + isbn (iv) sales_amount is sales_quantity * discount_price
Hi,this is easy with OLAP tools, but I need to do it just with MS-SQLserver:fatTableyeartypeval97a197b297c398a498b598c6....yeartype_atype_btype_c971239845699...The problem is number of different types - not just 3 like a,b,c butmore than 100, so I don't want to do it manually likeselectyear, a.val, b.val, c.valfrom(select year, val from factTable where type='a') afull join (select year, val from factTable where type='b') bon a.year = b.yearfull join (select year, val from factTable where type='c') con a.year = c.yearis it possible somehow with DTS or otherwise? I just need to presentthe data in spreadsheet in more readable form, but I cannot find anyway how to export the result from MS-SQLserverOLAPservices to Excel...Martin
l've a fact table DEVICE with following structure,
DEVICE_NAME VARCHAR(50) DEVICE_DATE DATETIME DEVICE_NUMBER INT Where DEVICE_NAME and DEVICE_DATE form a PRIMARY KEY
So l would like to import a text file with same information into this table.
My problem is, text file contains records which will violate my primary key constraint. In that case, l would only insert the record with DEVICE_NUMER not equal to ZERO and discard and log the others.
In case of the records violtae primary key constraints have DEVICE_NUMBER not equal to ZERO, discard both and log it.
hello, Iam trying to build OLAP cubes in MS SQL Server 2000.But all the tutorials/docs mention about fact tables & dimensions. Can I get some good tutorials on how to create fact tables to build OLAP cube ? Also, which OLEDB provider to be used for MS SQL Server while creating OLAP Datasource ?
Thanks in advance & wishing u a prosperous new year too.
Hi I have two tables, the first table contains the actual time value, and the second table contains the time master. The time master is a dimension table and it has the records of all the date with 1 hour time interval. In other words, the for a given day, there would be 24 rows with one hour time interval. I want to update the timeid in table1 with the corresponding timeid in table2
how to write an update statement to acheive this. i have given the sample two tables.
I have heard from my client that they are facing duplicate data issue on one of the fact table.
Basically there is a view built on fact table and client access the data through the views.
There warehouse is loaded daily through SSIS packages. The duplicate records issue is only when the views are queried during the data loading process. The duplicates are gone when the data load is completed.
Now I create datawarehouse for my client, I have SSIS a lot for ETL process, I a problem that some fact table need to be updatetable and there is a lot of data of this, I need some efficent way to load this data to data warehouse. I have read your article about SCD in SSIS (Slowly Changing Dimensions in SQL Server 2005). I think the purpose of SCD for Dimension table. If I have some fact table that need rows to be updatetable can you give me an example, best practice, the efficient way or fastet way to load fact table that can be updatetable? If you have link or link about this problem please reply my email. Thanks My datasource from ORACLE and my datawarehouse in mssql2005
I had used lookup on DIM table to get my SUK and if I use union transformation to get the out put from each lookup and then loading the data with some condition the data in my fact is not loading in a proper format.
The union transformation is splitting the out put in to different records
Please do inform me about which transformation should be used to get the data from lookup tables.
Or please do inform me the approach to load the fact table in SSIS.
I€™m basically INFORMATICA resource and I€™m implementing in terms of INFORMATICA
Is there a way to define measure group on fact1-details-table using TimeDim. Date info is only in fact1 table and not in details table.
Is namedquery joining the 2 fact tables the best solution in this case? There is so much redundancy using one fact table, so underlying sqldb uses 2 tables.
What is the best way to move data from Online system tro data warehouse? I have created 3 dimension tables(product,date and customer tables) and I wanna create fact table and get foreign keys from dimension tables. What is the best method to do that in SSIS?
Is it correct to say that for each cube you can have only one Fact Table? I am having a funny dispute just now.Â
According my experience I never built cubes with more than one fact table, if I want take data from more than one table I write a view and I use it as Fact table...but a cube with two or three fact tables? Never tried..
