Best Practice - HLevel for Alternate Hierarchy

Good morning,
Our Account dimension contains both a standard and alternate hierarchy.  We currently use the HLevel property to drive a variety of formatting (hierarchy indentations, outline for "data bottom", bold for "parent", etc.).  The formulas we've developed for the standard hierarchy work well, but they don't always work with the alternate hierarchy.  I'm considering the creation of a new "Alt_HLevel" property that would contain the associated numerical hierarchy levels for the alternate.  This would provide a level of simplicity in reporting as it would allow us to use consistent formulas.  Downside is the added maintenance.  Before proceeding, I'd like to know if anyone has a better solution.  Thanks!

Hi Kim,
As far as my understanding says, HLEVEL will work with the 1st hierarchy of your dimension. So, if you want, you can definitely go ahead by adding another property for the second hierarchy. But yes, as you have already figured out, the cost would be at the maintenance. If you are having regular additions to your dimension, it might be difficult to maintain this property. If the addition of members is not frequent, then I dont see any challenge.
Alternatively, you can try using H2 when you are calling the HLEVEL property. I have never checked this, so not sure whether it will work or not. But worth trying.
Hope this helps.

  • Best Practice on Moving Standard Hierarchy (Cost /Profit)  into production

    Hi,
    What is the best practice to move standard hierarchy into production? Is it better to move it as a transport? Or is it better to upload into production with LSMW?
    Thanks,
    Santoshi

    Hi,
    Best practices applied to all developments whether it is R/3, BI modelling or Reporting and as per the best practice we do development in Development system, testing in testing box and finally deploy successful development to production. yes for user analysis purpose, user can do adhoc analysis or in some scenario they create user specific custom queries (sometimes reffere as X-query created by super user).
    So it is always to do all yr developement in Development Box and then transport to Production after successful QA testing.

  • Best practice guide for Batch Load utility in Oracle UCM.

    Hi,
    Is there any best practice guide for Oracle UCM Batch Loader utility.
    We are looking for information regarding batch size in terms of number and size of contents. Also is there any loading time standards considering the contents are uploaded in filesystem where filestore provider is configured?
    Thanks,
    Krishnendu

    Hi ,
    There are no specific set of steps / practices for batch loading contents to ucm . It would be very much dependent on how many contents does the user have to load to UCM and how well the server is configured in terms of performance .
    You can get more details from the following documentation link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/doc.1111/e10792/c02_settings009.htm

  • Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR

    What is the Oracle Best Practice for install/deployment and configuration of ODI 11g for Disaster Recovery?
    We have a project that is using Oracle ODI 11g (11.1.1.5).
    We have configured all the other Oracle FMW components as per the Oracle DR EDG guides. Basically using the Host ip name/aliasing concept to ‘trick’ the secondary site into thinking
    it is primary and continue working with minimal (or no) manual reconfiguration. But will this work for ODI? The FMW DR guide has sections for SOA, WebCenter and IdM, but nothing for ODI.
    Since ODI stores so much configuration information in the Master Repository..when this DB gets ‘data guarded’ to the secondary site and promoted to Primary…ODI will still think it is at the ‘other’ site. Will this break the actual agents running the scenarios?
    Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR ODI properly?
    We are looking for a solution that will allow a graceful switchover/failover with minimal manual re-configuration.

    The only resource I have is this website and the only binaries seem to be for Linux OS.You have one other HUGE resource that, while it won't answer your current question, you'd better start getting familiar with if you are going to use Oracle. That is the complete and official documentation, found at tahiti.oracle.com

    Hi
    There's no 'best practice' as such, but there are a few that I think should be default:
    Enabling CDR, On-Hook Pickup, CFwdAll Override... but really the settings are specific to the requirements of the deployment.

  • Best practice document for ACE30

    Can someone point me to a best practice document for the ACE30.  I am specifically looking at best practices as they relate to resouce allocation, logging, FT, and snmp.  I am migrating from CSM so the VIP/Server configuration is basically set.  I am looking for areas that pertain to the ACE as a whole.
    Thank you

    Good afternoon,
    I'm afraid there isn't a best practices document as such, however, I would suggest you to have a look at the ACE section in doc-wiki (http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Application_Control_Engine_%28ACE%29_Troubleshooting_Guide).
    This document can give you some useful insights on different topics, including (but not limited to) resource allocation.

  • Best Practice Analyzer for Exchange 2013

    Greetings,
    I have upgraded the messaging infrastructure from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
    I want to test the Health of the system through ExBPA for Exchange 2013.
    But i don't find any setup for Exchange 2013 like it was in 2010.
    I went through an article by Office365 community, according to which for In-premises Exchange also we need to have office 365 account (can use trial account also) to get the downloader file for ExBPA 2013.
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/deploy/office-365-best-practices-analyzer-for-exchange-server-2013.aspx
    But to run the setup the servers needs to be connected to internet.
    And, i don't want to expose my environment to internet in any condition.
    Somebody, please suggest me if there is any setup available so that i can install directly without exposing to internet.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,

    Welcome to Exchange 2013.
    Exchange Server 2013 doesn't come with ExBPA for health check. This might help

    Does anyone have any Best Practice Tips for publishing Captivate 8 projects?  Is HTML5/Flash the most universal?

  • Any best practice recommendations for controlling access to dashboards?

    Everyone,
         I understand that an Xcelsius dashboard compiled into a .swf file contains no means for providing access control to limit who can or how many times they can run the dashboard. Basically, if they have a copy of the .swf they can use it as much as they'd like. To protect access to sensitive data I'd like to be able to control who can access the dashboard and how many times or how long they can access it for.
         From what I've read it seems the simplest way to do this is to embed the swf file into a web portal that requires a user to authenticate before accessing the file. I suppose I can then handle how long they can access it from the back end.
         If I do this, is there anyway a user can do something like <right click - save as> on the flash file to save it on their local machine? Is there a best practice means for properly protecting the dashboard?
    Any advice would be appreciated,
    Jerry Winner
