Qlikview Tutorial - Star Schema Model Part-2-of-40

Qlikview Tutorial - Star Schema Model Part-2-of-40

In this video, we will create Star Schema in Qlikview

1- We have a Star Schema, with a Fact table and 3 Dimension Tables.
The goal to get the Star Schema model, create joins & make it available to crate reports.
Let's take a look at the model in SalesDatabase.
Customer Dimension, Product Dimension, Calendar Dimension & Sales Fact

2- Open Qlikview
3- Click on Edit Script Icon
3- On the lower left side, an option to select multiple data sources is provided.
4- Connect to the database using an ODBC connection. Use OLEDB for MDB.
5- Once the connection is set, the qlikview puts the connection string in the script.
6- Click on the "Select" button to pull the required tables.
7- Click on Reload.
8- Click on the Table viewer (Ctrl + T). 
Please note that Qlikview uses the column names to JOIN / identify relationships.

9- For joining two tables with different columns uses aliases. 
You can specify alias name "as [<column_name>]" e.g: "as [Time]"
Modify the script to add aliases.

10- Press reload & click on OK.
Go back to table viewer & you can see the joins getting created.

11- Add a List Object and display data by Product Category, Country, Year, Sales Amount & Quantity.

SO THATS IT....

Creating a Cognos Transformer cube from DMR

For Details: Visit:  http://www.bharaticonsultancy.in
   http://bharatidwconsultancy.blogspot.com

Creating a Cognos Transformer cube from DMR.
Often in our projects, due to slow performance of the DMR, at times we face a situation to convert the DMR into a physical Transformer cube. Here is a simple method to achieve this functionality.
STEPS:
1- Open a Cognos Powerplay Transformer model.
2- Right click the Dimension Map and Insert Dimension from a Package.
3- Browse to already published DMR Package.
4- Select all the Regular Dimensions and Measure Dimension and bring it in the Cube.
5- You can see a datasource is created for Each Regular and Measure Dimension.
6- Now we need to create cube.
7- Right click Cube Tab Area. Insert Powercube; Give a name DMR-2-Cube. It is stored as .mdc. Set a path.
8- Right click again the powercube and create powercube.
9- The cube is generated successfully. Publish this cube onto Cognos Portal.

SO THATS IT.....

Automating a Cognos Transformer cube generation process.

Often in our projects, we want to automate the cube to refresh process.
Let's understand the cube automation script.

STEPS:
1- Open a Cognos Powerplay Transformer model.
2- Validate the model.
3- Goto the the transformer installation location and locate the bin directory. 
4- Launch the command prompt and execute the following command
cogtr -n "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\Transformer\Models\bdcs_cube.pyj"
syntax: cogtr -n <model name>

5- You can see the cube getting generated.
6- Now we need to create a windows batch file to schedule / automate  the cube refresh process.

7- Open the notepad and create a batch file with the following commands.

cd "C:\Program Files\cognos\c8 Trnsfmr\bin"
cogtr -n "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\Transformer\Models\bdcs_cube.pyj"

8- Now to automate it, you can use windows scheduler. 
9- You can see at the pre-set time the cube gets refreshed.

Please note that this will work only for Window server based Cognos Installation. For Unix / Linux the process is a bit different.

<component name="CQE">
<section name="General Options">
<entry name="KeepModelXML" value="1" />
</section>
</component>
</configuration>

2. Restart the Cognos server.
3. There is a package known as Sales Order in Public Folder; we dont have cpf file for this.
4. Open Cognos Report Studio and create a new report on the same package.
5. Run the report.
6. A new xml file will be created under <Cognos_Installed_location>/data/cqe/RTModels 7. 7. Rename this file as model.xml
8. Open Framework Manager and create a new empty project.
9. Close Framework Manager.
10. Locate this Framework Manager project and replace the model.xml with our xml from RTModels.
11. Open the project and your cpf is generated; have fun.
