Parent-Child Dimension in a Report

Hi,
I saw some threads about using parent-child dimensions in a reporting
services report on an OLAP cube in this newsgroup. I have the same problem
that I didn't get the nesting, I want, because reporting services didn't
render it. I tried with the UniqueName and ParentUniqueName properties, but
I only get a hierarchy of Level2 and no deeper. Does anyone knows a solution
in the meantime?
Thanks
HansI have managed to get round this problem by creating a virtual
dimension of level 3 and then doing a cross join on the 2 dimensions.
This will get you your nesting

partitioning a table question...

Hi,
I have to plan a datawarehouse structure where the primary reporting usage
is to list detailed information about customers.
And also, we have OLAP cube for analysis purpose.
I'll have 100 000 customers and a fact table containing between 35 to
45millions of rows by year. (we also have 2 other fact table with 5 to
6millions of rows by year)
Generally, this fact table is filtered for a particular organizational unit
and for data in 1 year. (for report generation using report server)
So, I plan to partition my fact table by organizational unit and by year.
But I have 180 units.
Does the partitioning will works fine with 180 * 5 years = 900 tables?
on this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ndw.
htm
there is a note that the maximum number of tables is 256.
But the performance gain can be very high!
The estimated size of the DW is 10gb / year (maybe more with additional
indexes)
My DTS package is ready to support partioning table loading. (the package
automatically create the new table, indexes and update the view for each
detected partition in the staging source table)
My users access my reportserver interactively, scheduling anything is not an
option.
For higher analysis, my olap cubes are ready.
thanks for your feedback.
Jerome.Hi Jerome:
I have some kind of "rule". Just make a partition for each 1 GB of data.
Or doing it for a year, would be great. If you need more granularity, give
it a try to month partitioning.
Tell me if you need some help on this

I don't need help about this, I just want to plan correctly.
and I don't want month partition but only year + organizational unit
Because I don't do sum or count aggregation in SQL (or just a little sum
compared of what my cube provide).
Generally my reports contains SQL statement like this:
* Last kown value at a specific date (subquery required) (by customer)
* events which start before and end after a specific date (between
statement) (by customer)
Its the reason of not using monthly partitions, because I never know when
these dates appear in the database.

Parameters in SSRS with OLAP

Hi - I have a report that uses an OLAP cube. I cannot figure out how to pass
parameters into the report using URL. I've tried setting the parameter to
the value I desire, but that doesn't work. Here's an example:
http://mysite/reportserver/report.rdl&rc:toolbar=true&rc:LinkTarget=_top&DimParameter=301
When I look at how OLAP passes parameters into reports, it's not the same as
when I use straight SQL tables. So I tried:
http://mysite/reportserver/report.rdl&rc:toolbar=true&rc:LinkTarget=_top&DimParameter=[DimParameter].[MEMBER].[301]
but then I get an error message saying that the text is too long. Any help
would be appreciated.What is the MDX of the statement you are trying to execute based on the
parameter?
This has to be set up as a concatenated string in the DS for the report.

I pass several parameters into the statement. I thought I'd figured it out
by using the codes that represent the [, ] and &. But I'm still getting the
same issue when it tries to pass the parameter in the URL.

Parameters - get last minus one

I have a list of parameters, and they are months. This list is dynamic, and
is based on a query to an OLAP cube.
I want my default parameter to be the last month minus one, so that when the
last month is December, I want to have November as default.
How can I do this?
All help appreciated!

Parameters

Hi !
How come i pass olap parameter to my subreport?
I have two reports and i'd like link these reports by parameters, but when a
put parameter to link the value doen't pass to subreport.
I use SSAS 2005 and my parameters are dimension of my cube.
Help me !!!!
Thanks.

MattosCreate a custom member in your "parent" report. Example:
If you had the ReportDate attribute of the [Time] dimension in your report
and it needed to be passed to the sub-report, you'd create a custom member
with the definition
'[Time].[ReportDate].CurrentMember.UniqueName'
This would return something like
'[Time].[ReportDate].&[2006-05-26T00:00:00]'.
When you've added the sub-report, make sure you set up the parameters for it
too. They can be either parameters in the primary report or they can be
field values.
