Drilldown on structure with hierarchy display shows additional result rows

Question

Hi all,
difficult problem to explain, but I'll try:
- a structure for the rows axis
- the structure contains hierarchical elements
- each leaf node in the structure is defined as a characteristic C, restricted to certain values from a hierarchy
- additionally characteristic C is on the rows axis below the hierarchy (for detailed drilldown)
- for the row axis, "display as hierarchy" is selected (initial drilldown until structure only)
- on the columns some key figures
- zero suppression set to active for rows
So in Query Designer it looks like this:
1) Structure S
---> Subnode S1
> Element 1 (Characteristic C restricted to value V1 and V2 from hierarchy H)
---> Subnode S2
> Element 2 (Characteristic C restricted to value V3 and V4 from hierarchy H)
2) Characteristic C
Now what happens at runtime:
1. The user opens Subnode S1 and sees 1 row with cumulated values for V1 and V2
2. The user drills down further to Characteristic C
3. He sees 2 result rows below "Element 1": row 1 with value V1, row 2 with value V2
All fine.
4. Now the user opens subnode S2 and drills down to Characteristic C.
5. => The user gets 4 result rows for "Element 2":
    - one row with value V3 (as expected)
    - one row with value V4 (as expected)
    - one row with V1 and empty values (empty values OK, but complete row not expected!)
    - one row with V2 and empty values (empty values OK, but complete row not expected!)
So, apparently the OLAP processor has some issues when mixing structures with restricted elements, hierarchies and drill downs
Note: this is exactly the same behaviour as the last poster in this thread noticed:

Does anyone know about workarounds / solutions?

Answer 1

Advice from SAP so far is to go to BI Frontend SP11, which should solve the problem.
