In Document Properties, ensure ‘Auto-merge dimensions’ and ‘Extend merged dimension values’ are ticked.

Create a [Flag] variable, something like =If([Serial Number DP1] = [Serial Number DP2]) Then 1 Else 0

Finally add the [Flag] object to your report and filter the report where [Flag] = 0.

I’m working with webi report having 2 data providers pointing to 2 different universes (connected to 2 different Database, one is oracle 9 and other is oracle 10g)

Issue: we have to compare the serialnumbers available in the DBs using the 2 data providers and fetch only those records that are not matching in to the webi reports.

I was using the filter object in the first data providers as equal to the object from the other query (data provider2) but as this list going more than 1000 objects (Oracle DBs have limit on the list objects ) report is throwing the DB exception.

Limitation:
1) i cant go for the subquery as i’m having 2 different universe getting data from 2 different databases.
2) for query spliting using the rownum also impacts because the data will be dynamic not sure how many records we get in real time.

Request you to please guide me or suggest an alternate approach for this issue.

Many thanks

I have 3 queries in my report,& all contains ‘Client_id’ as a dimension object & also a separate prompt object ‘Client_id’[actually, the report should run for a specific 'client_id' value].

In the report,i created a section based upon ‘Client_id’ that is also the merged dimension & drill down is enabled on the ‘Client_id.

Now, the problem is when i refresh all the 3 queries,it looks like below:

Client_id : BB002874

col1 col2 col3 col4
|——-|———–|——–|——-|
|——-|———–|——–|——-|
|——-|———–|——–|——-|
|——-|———–|——–|——-|

The block should produce data for client_id=BB002874 & as per universe hierarchy [there are several group under the client BB002874] if i click on ‘BB002874′, drill down up to group level should be shown.

now problem is drill down is not working though drill down is enabled upon ‘Client_id’.

pls suggest.

Thanks,

Am calling result set of data provider in one of the union and other am not calling at all. According to my condition data provider wont fetch any data and obviously one of the union should not give any data.Since other union am not calling result set of data provider it has to give the result but i dont find any single row fetched in the cube.

Is it any thing i missed in the data provider.

Thanks

In some cases where you might have a dimension object for order number and another dimension object for order date, and you know there is exactly one order date per order number, then you can use the technique you suggested. Create a detail variable for Order Date and link it to the Order Number dimension. In this scenario everything works because of the one-to-one relationship between the two pieces of data.

Measure objects can be projected to details. About the only thing you can’t do with detail objects are drill and rank. You can do a break or sort or filter on a detail object.

The biggest issue I have with details is that once you have the report defined, the data should be available at that level. Meaning, if you add a detail to a report and it is listed as a field it should be available to project as an aggregate. I realize today that the engine is only working with the base, separate Data Providers, but a nice enhancement would be to allow the combined report dataset to be used as the source of the calculation context.
