Synchronizing Data

Data can be synchronized in WebI from multiple data sources or creating multiple

queries in a document or by merging dimensions.

Multiple queries in a document

� Project data from a single query in different blocks

Create a query in WebI.

If we need to project Annual sales revenue, Revenue from every state and each

product line, we won’t be able to view everything in a single block. We need

multiple blocks within a report.

� Projecting data from multiple queries within the universe

Go to edit query in the same document and start adding another query.

Select same universe, new query tab will appear on the bottom of the query

panel

Rename Query1 as Revenue Query and Query2 as Margin Query

Now run the query

Now the new query result will appear as a new block inside the same report.

� Project data from a merged dimension in to a single block

Create a new report in the document.

The aggregate data to calculate revenue with respect to store and margin per

store has been retrieved by two different queries, even though we are able to

combine both in a single block. Here the WebI automatically merges the

dimension Store name which is used in two different queries. If we don’t need

WebI to automatically merge multiple instances of same dimension in a single

document, one can deselect the option of Auto-merge.

**Dimension Merge is a Union**

� Projecting data from multiple universes

For getting data from different universes/sources and project the data in a single

report. Following the same procedures, create a new query within the existing

document, from another universe.

Here the new Query has Store names, Number of employees and total salary.

Now run the queries.

It’s clear that “Store Name” from Universe1 and “Store” from Universe2 project

same data. To show these two results in a single block, we need to merge these

two dimensions.

Rules for merging dimensions

∗ Merging is possible only with dimension objects

∗ It’s not necessary that merging dimensions should have same name.

∗ The dimension objects should have common data format

∗ Process is case sensitive; any common values must be in the same case

∗ Format of the values must be same
