digging-out, and analyzing business data, such as sales revenue by products and/or
departments or associated costs and incomes.BI technologies provide historical,
current, and predictive views of business operations. Common functions of business
intelligence technologies are reporting, online analytical processing, analytics,
data mining, business performance management, benchmarking, text mining, and predictive
analytics.
Antivirus / Firewall
I use F-Secure, why ETLS are very slow?
The module "Web Reporting" F-Secure uses FireBird, installed as a "super server".
By default, a "Super Server" does not correctly handle positions with either multi-core
processors or multiple processors. This results in MyReport by slow loading times
during the models ETLS Datawarehouse. Solution: Disable the Windows service "F-Secure
Web Reporting"

Server Classic. It should be added fb_inet_server the list of exclusions in IMON.
IMON -> Setup -> Misc -> Exclusions. Then restart the machine or service Firebird.
Data Base
4D
Select the ODBC (ADO). -> The ODBC driver can handle accented characters. The tab
"SQL Syntax" must be set as follows: -> Text Delimiter left ' -> Right Delimiter
text ' -> Delimiter Date left: ' -> Right Delimiter Date ' -> Date separator: -
-> Date format: DMY or -> Text Delimiter left ' -> Right Delimiter text ' -> Left
delimiter Date: (d ' -> Date Delimiter right: ') -> Date separator: - -> Date format:
YMD.
4D Modeling
In a 4D model, it is best not to join any source models in a matter of time ETL.
As a source model corresponds to a source table and data warehouse models are created
to be able to connect with their joints.
Access
It is recommended to use the ODBC (ADO).
KDP
The delimiters texts left and right '. Delimiters dates left and right '. It is
advisable to use the ODBC driver (EasySoft). If the driver odbcstand takes too many
resources, it is advisable to check the option "Close the connection at the end
of the insertion data" on all models of the connection. For information: http://www.codebase.com/support/kb/?article=C01102.
Informix
It is recommended to uncheck the option "Open queries in a separate Thread. In the
properties of the connection, HostName, do not put the name of the machine hosting
the database but the server name configured in the Informix setnet.

Why do I get an error when I want to condition a field on an InterBase database?
InterBase can not read a CASEWHEN on a digital indicator. Example: CASE WHEN Sum
([Unit]) = 0 THEN 0 ELSE sum ([CA]) / Sum ([Unit]) END.
Progress
There are various ODBC drivers to connect to a data source PROGRESS OpenLink, CLINK,
and MERANT (free). Specificities of different drivers: -> The MERANT ODBC can not
read array of fields. -> With CLINK, uncheck the option "Alias fields" in the properties
of the connection. In MyReport Data in the list of drivers, you can use either ODBC
or ODBC (ADO). If you select ODBC, and you have boolean fields in the destination
field, the first Boolean field must always be placed after a numeric field in the
destination fields. If you select ODBC (ADO), you can have an error message during
an ETL if the date fields have values not filled. When the tables must be prefixed
in SQL queries (eg "pub."), You will need to prefix the tables. To do this: -> Configure
your login Progress, then retrieve the list of tables -> Put yourself in the list
of tables, then ask "Any prefix with" pub. ".

What to do when a join is simple when it works, and not when it is external?
Retrieve each table in a separate model, transforming the field to join it is the
same type in both tables - Join these two models in a data warehouse model. Explanation:
Under Oracle 9, it is impossible to do outer joins between fields of different types.
Why the size of the data warehouse database keeps growing?
From 10g release 2 edition, a basket is added. When deleting a table, it is sent
to the trash to be recovered. In an ELT so that the table is finally abolished on,
you must change the parameter DropTable connection Datawarehouse. * Right click
on the Data Warehouse, Properties. * In SQL Syntax tab, set "PURGE" in "Drop Parameter
Table". * Confirm by clicking OK. In this way, the table will be removed permanently
without being sent to the trash.
Why is the connection to an Oracle database does not work then the connection is

Modeling Techniques
Why does WeekOf may not return the expected week?
The function returns WeekOf week of the year with a value between 1 and 53. WeekOf
uses ISO 8601 to define the week of the year: a week is from Monday to Sunday and
the first calendar week of the year is one that includes the first Thursday of the
year (the first week of the year that includes at least four days). Therefore, if
the first calendar day of the year is Friday, Saturday or Sunday, WeekOf returns
the last week of the year prior to the first, the first two or three days of the
calendar year. Similarly, if the last calendar day of the year is Monday, Tuesday
or Wednesday, WeekOf returns 1 (the first week of the next calendar year) for the
last, the last two or three days of the calendar year . To learn more about ISO
weeks For example, if you want the first day of the year at week 1, you can replace
the formula WeekOf ([Date]) by If (And (MonthOf ([Date]) = 1; WeekOf ([Date] )>
= 52), 1; WeekOf ([Date])).

How to transform N columns of N rows?
There are 2 solutions: SOLUTION N°1 http://myportal.fr/docs/video/faq/colonne_ligne.swf
Problematic How to turn a record with data in columns in many rows? Constraints
The solution proposed here can be applied if and only if the number of columns into
rows and their labels are fixed. Solution Three models will be needed to address
this problem. Model 1: Purpose: Replace the columns into rows. Content: This model
must contain at least N columns into rows. Operations: Create a model with N destination
fields as columns, and other elements of the source table to be used for reporting.
Model 2: Objective: Create a table containing many rows as columns into rows. Content:
This model must include only one field having as value the number of the line. Operations:
* Create an Excel file containing at least as many rows as columns to transform.
Excel * Create a model containing a single field (the number of the line). * Add
a filter in Excel template on the destination field will go to the first N lines,
N being the number of columns into rows. Model 3: Objective: To transform the N
columns of N rows. Content: This model is the final step of this modeling technique.
The N columns will be transformed into N lines, the data initially stored in a column
being a single field. Operations: * Create a simple data warehouse model, and walk
in the mapping models 1 and 2 created previously. No joins must be created to perform
a Cartesian product: the number of rows of Model 1 is multiplied by N lines of Model
2, to obtain the desired number of rows. * Add fields to destination fields of model
1, except those corresponding to the N columns. * Create the field that will contain
the converted values of the column. Each model line has been a duplicated N times,
we recover the first duplicate the first column, the second the second column, etc..
To do this, create the field turned following: If ([(Model 2). (No. lig)] = 1 [(Model
1). (Column 1)] If ([(Model 2). (No. lig )] = 2 [(Model 1). (Column 2 )];(...)))
SOLUTION N°2 http://myportal.fr/docs/video/faq/ligne_colonne.swf A possible solution
to complete the transaction ONEPIVOT is as follows: You must first identify the
fields that used to create the transaction ONEPIVOT: * The key grouping (fields
in line) * field(s) used at the pivot fields (columns) * The value to insert in
the columns. To illustrate the methodology, we will start the next case. A table
contains sales data by year, month, commercial article and the Turnover. The goal
is to create a monthly column. * Key group: Year, Article, Commercial * Field of
Pivot Month * Value: Turnover You will then have to create two models. 1st model
Objective: To create the different columns Handling: create as many fields as calculated
columns to create, affecting the value column via a proper test. 2nd model Objective:
aggregate lines Handling: Create a line for each key together.
How to make a table with floating cummulative ?
Problematic How do to create a table containing floating cummulative. Ex: In a table
containing the turnover indicator and month online: * Line "January 2007" must contain
the turnover February 2006 to January 2007 * Line "February 2007" must contain the
turnover March 2006 to February 2007 * Line "March 2007" must contain the turnover
from April 2006 to March 2007 Constraints The solution described below can be applied
in the case of a modeling star, because the final model (the one used by MyReport
Builder) must be "unloaded". Solution Model 1: Objective: Prepare "axis time" used
in combination. Content: This model must be traceable to a line every couple years,
months, and also include the year / start month accumulation. Ex: In the above example,
it takes a cumulative rolling 12 months, so the entry for January 2007 will also
be a reference to February 2006. Operations: * Create a model DW calling "A Lap
Accumulation", using as source model provided by the time axis Report One. * Select
the field "Year", "YearMonth", then create a field turned "YearMonth-11" (StrToCurr
([YearMonth])-If ([Month] <= 11, 99, 11)). * Rename fields in "Year Accumulation",
"YearMonth Accumulation" and "Accumulation YearMonth-11. * To go back no further
than a line by Year / Month, check the "no duplicates". Model 2: Objective: To provide
users Builder in the final model fields to accumulate. Content: The time axis combination
must be added to the final model. Operations: * Add the model "A Accumulation Lap"
to the final model, without linking it to other fields. * Add fields to destination
fields of the model "A Accumulation Tps. Creating the dashboard: Objective: Display
for monthly online sales accumulated over the 12 months. Content: The operation
carried out in MyReport Builder will allow you to duplicate rows of turnover as
many times as necessary to accumulate. Ex: In the case of a combined 12-month rolling
a line of turnover dated of 05/01/2007 will be used (ie duplicate) for the cumulative
turnover from January to December 2007, but not for cumulative sales from January
2008. Operations: * Add the field "YearMonth Accumulation" line and the turnover
indicator. * Create the filter cover: "YearMonth Invoice" between "YearMonth-11
Accumulation" and "Accumulation YearMonth.
How to convert a TIMESTAMP field in time?
A field (digital) TIMESTAMP stores the number of seconds since 01/01/1970. To create
from the Timestamp field of type date in MyReport Data, using the formula: trunc
([Timestamp] / 86400) 25569. Explanation: -> Timestamp/86400: number of days since
01/01/1970. -> 25569: numeric value of the date 01.01.1970.
Technical reporting
What to do when the result of my operation is null when there are values?
An operation performed by a database returns null if an element of the transaction
is null - Should be tested if the fields are null before the operation - Example:
If field1 is not null and field2 is not null So Field1 + Field2 Otherwise If field1
is not null So field1 Otherwise If field2 is not null So Field2
How to average?
When an indicator is average, totals and subtotals are an average of averages and
not a weighted average. For the weighted average, create a calculated field whose
formula contains the field to be average, then select "Totals calculated from the
formula." Example: To view a postponement by product family and the average quantity
per invoice, create a calculated field called "average amount", which is formulated
in the field "Quantity of the model with the totals calculated from the formula.
Select Then in the main interface aggregation average.
How to make a calculated field in the spreadsheet with references RC?
You have the CA fields and Budget in your table. Want to add a calculated field
= Budget Gap-CA. These two fields from two different queries. You are therefore
obliged to create a calculated field in the spreadsheet. Your indicators are in
column. The formula of the field deviation is therefore: RC [-1]-RC [-2] Explanation
R (Row) corresponds to the line, the deviation is on the same line as CA and Budget
C (Column) corresponds to the column, the Budget is a deviation to the left column,
then it specifies [-1], the CA is two columns to the left of deviation, so we specify
[-2]. If the indicator were online, we have R [-1] CR [-2] C PS: the use of references
RC course is not mandatory. It is quite possible to use the names of the indicators
in the form of deferral
