Analytic Workspace Manager - Hierarchies within hierarchies

Hi,
We have six levels of Sales Groups (SG) and two levels of Sales Personnel (SP).
- SG1
SP1- Sales Manager
SP2- Sales Rep
- SG2
SP1
SP2
- SG3 ... so on and so forth
We want to have drill down capability on SG1 so that we see SP levels underneath followed by the next level Sales Group i.e. SG2.
My question is can we have hierarchies within hierarchies using Analytic Workspace Manager and can this be queried using Discoverer Plus for OLAP. If there is another way to do it, can someone please explain?
Thanks again,
-Esther

I am not totally sure what you are trying to achieve as I think you might be confusing members with levels. From an OLAP perspective we support two basic types of hierarchies
- Level based
- Value based (Parent-Child)
Within level based we additionally support:
- normal
- ragged
- skip level
Normal implies that you have a hierarchy where the each member for each level always has a parent at a the next level up in the hierarchy. Ragged hierarchies are where data is loaded at different levels within the hierarchy and skip level is where parents within a specific level are themselves defined at multiple levels.
I am not sure if this answers your question, but you can find more information on how to manage hierarchies in the
Oracle® OLAP Application Developer's Guide
Section 3 Creating an Analytic Workspace

  • Invisible structure in Analytic Workspace Manager after importing from EIF

    Hello,
    I got problem with migration OFA structure (6.3.4) to Oracle OLAP. My Oracle Database is 11.2 Enterprise Edition
    1. I've exported OFA database do eif file.
    2. I've created user in Oracle database, grant olap_user and created directory
    3. I installed Analytic Workspace Manager 11.2.0.3.0A
    4. After connection on Analytic Workspaces I run 'Create Analytic Workspace from EIF file ...' -> The import was succeeded
    Here is the problem - there is no visible imported structure in the tree under Analytic Workspaces. I think that structures were properly imported. That Analytic Workspace is in the sql results:
    select dbal.owner||'.'||substr(dbal.table_name,4) awname, sum(dbas.bytes)/1024/1024 as mb, dbas.tablespace_name from dba_lobs dbal, dba_segments dbas where dbal.column_name = 'AWLOB' and dbal.segment_name = dbas.segment_name group by dbal.owner, dbal.table_name, dbas.tablespace_name order by dbal.owner, dbal.table_name
    I've also tried using Analytic Workspace Manager Worksheet.
    AW CREATE OFA_TEST
    IMPORT ALL FROM EIF FILE 'c/baza.eif' DATA DFNS
    UPDATE
    COMMIT
    The results are the same :(
    What else should be done ? can anyone pls help me on this??
    Grzegorz

    Grzegorz,
    OFA to OLAP is not an easy thing if you are trying to do it by hand. That is why we built an OFA conversion utility into our product. Example time for Full OFA to OLAP/Escendo conversion is about three days for an OFA system of 300-400Gb, including data, processes (Solves) reports, saved selections etc.)
    Part of the problem is that OFA is an application which uses a ton of back end catalogs which drive everything. It also makes very heavy use of saved selections internally which makes straight export and import tough.
    The overall process is that all of the visible structures need to be created within OLAP so that they are visible. We support both 'public' (ergo visible, metadata based) objects as well as 'back end' structures which are not visible to the front end. If you need business logic translated over it can get complicated to do by hand as well, since things don't map directly into the way Oracle does things in AWM now, due to some differences between the architectures.
    One of the great things about putting your OFA into OLAP is that everything becomes available to any standard SQL reporting application.
    Our IDE is a full mulit-developer environment which allows multiple developers to work even within the same AW, for any operation, including creation of dimensions, measures etc. as well as the editing of code in programs & models.
    Are you just trying to get the data in? or are you wanting to use the system like you would use OFA?

  • How to install analytic workspace manager?

    I have Oracle 9.2.0.1 running on Windows. I have installed 9.2.0.3 database patch. I couldn’t see analytic workspace manager tool? How to get the tool?
    I will greatly appreciate if you can guide me with some links or steps.

    Few days back I went to a Oracle Demo and there I used Analytic Workspace Manager, which is running on Windows 2000 (both database and the tool on same machine).
    It was located in
    Start menu --> Oracle home --> Integrated Management Tolls Folder.
    I couldn't see that on my 9.2.0.1 installation. So I installed the new patch 9.2.0.3, still I am not able to see that tool.
    Am I missing anything? Any other patch?

  • Analytic Workspace Manager 9.2.0.4

    Hi
    When I attempt to create a workspace in Analytic Workspace Manager an error message is displayed saying that the database I am using is not a 9.2.0.2 compatible database and the DBMS_AWM package cannot be found.
    I have, however, patched my database to 9.2.0.5. Is Analytic Workspace Manager version 9.0.4 incompatible with Oracle DB version 9.2.0.5?
    My environment setup is as follows:
    Analytic Workspace Manager (9.2.0.4)
    Oracle DB 9i Rel 2 (9.2.0.5)
    Windows XP Professional SP 2.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    AWM 9.2.0.4.1 is forward compatible on the 9.2 code stream. It works with the current 9.2.0.5.0 and 9.2.0.6 patch sets. My guess is that the Post Installation steps for the 9.2.0.5.0 patch set were not performed. For example, did the catpatch.sql script run? A lot of people overlook this required step in the readme.
    In order to check to see if your patch set was installed correctly, perform the following query:
    SQL&gt; select comp_name, version, status from dba_registry;
    You should see 9.2.0.5 and VALID for the OLAP components.

  • Does  Analytic Workspace Manager 11.2.0.3.0A  work with oracle database 12c?

    hello,
    i would like to know if AWM 11.2.0.3.0A works against with oracle database 12c in pdb mode or not .
    regards
    jm

    I have attempted to connect 11g versions of AWM to 12c and get this error:
    'This version of Analytic Workspace Manager is incompatible with the database instance. The Analytic Workspace Manager version is 11.2.0.3.0 and the database compatible version is 12.1.0.0.0'
    So unfortunately it is not compatible, and there is currently no AWM for 12c
    I also contacted Oracle support and they wont give me any information about a release date or any information on the xml template specification for 12c.
    I guess we will just have to wait till they release a version of AWM that supports 12c...

  • Analytic Workspace Manager 11.2.0.3.0a and Oracle11g 11.2.0.4

    Hello!
    I'm trying to connect from Analytic Workspace Manager, version 11.2.0.3.0a (latest one), to Oracle server ver. 11.2.0.4. Connection fails with following message "This version of Analytic Workspace Manager is incompatible with the database instance.". Is there a way to make this work? The solution I'm aware of is to downgrade a server. Maybe someone knows other solutions?

    What is AWM 10.2.0.1.0A? It is a patched, stand-alone client that supercedes the version found on the Oracle Database Client CD for 10gR2.
    What's the background on AWM 10.2.0.1.0A? It was initially created to fix issues while connecting to Oracle OLAP 10.1.0.4.0 but over time picked up some other fixes.
    Which Oracle OLAP versions does AWM 10.2.0.1.0A work with? It works with Oracle OLAP 10.1.0.4.0 and above on the Oracle Database 10gR1 code stream and Oracle Database 10.2.0.1.0.
    Does AWM 10.2.0.1.0A require a corresponding Oracle OLAP 'A' patch to the database? No
    Is there scheduled an AWM 10.1.0.5 or any other future 10gR1 version? No, AWM 10.1.0.4 users can move to AWM 10.2.0.1.0A.

  • Unable to create dimension in Analytic Workspace manager

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create dimension using Analytic Workspace Manager(AWM) and it throws the following error.
    *"The transaction is not committable: "java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Missing XML attribute: Attribute for tag: <Metadata><StandardDimension><Organization><AWPrimaryDimensionOrganization><AttributeOrganization>"*
    Kindly share your comments.
    I am using Oracle 11g r1 client to connect with oracle 11g R2 database.
    Please let me know the steps to create a OLAP cube using AWM
    Regards
    Mukhil

    It sounds like a mismatch between an old version of AWM and a new version of the server. Please try a more recent version of AWM.

  • Analytic Workspace Manager

    Hi
    I am completely new to Oracle OLAP.
    I have installed Oracle 10g(10.1.0.2) with OLAP option enabled.
    I would like to create some cubes using Analytic Workspace manager. When I look into Oracle HomeIntegrated Management Tools, I wouldn’t find Analytic Workspace manager.
    Do I need to install Analytic Workspace manager separately? If it comes along with the oracle suite, what did I want to do to have analytic workspace manager in my machine?
    Please help me.
    Thanks,
    Deepa

    Hi
    Thanks for the info.
    I like to get more information regarding the same in version 10.1.0.2
