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.

Cognos Powerplay Transformer - Automate cubes generation refresh script - Part-16-of-30
For Details: Visit: http://www.bharaticonsultancy.in
http://bharatidwconsultancy.blogspot.com
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.
SO THATS IT.....
