Building hierarchy trees (ragged hierarchy) in OBIEE

We want to build a hierarchy tree to drill into the different levels of our organization. (ragged hierarchy) In OBIEE Answers or like product is there a way to expand down the page in a tree format? I am looking for what others have done to display that UI drill down similar to how the Windows registry/file system expands. Building filters across the page will not work for us. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I did read it and was helpful, but I am trying to solve a UI formating problem. All the BI products seem to go across the page with filtering, not down the page in a tree format.

Issue with Presentation Hierarchy in obiee 11g

Hi Guru's
I am using a presentation hierarchy in obiee 11 g, but it is behaving weirdly when expanding the hierarchy
for example i have a hierarchy for languages when i expand one country in the hierarchy all the countries which has similar childs are getting expanded
for Example Parent A B C D
under A i have 1, 2,3,4, under B i have 5,6,7,8 under C i have 9, 10 ,11, 12 under D i have 1, 13, 14, 15
so when i expand A in answers D is also getting expanded as i have 1 as common value in both the parents.
can some please help me how to fix this, as the user does not like this expansion
Thanks in advance,

That is strange... I downloaded the files from the left hand side of this page:
[Sample Application site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html]
... the title states quiite clearly that the Sample Application (Build 825) applies to OBIEE release 11g.

Parent Child Hierarchy in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
I am working on the parent child hierarchy in OBIEE 11g Source ESSBASE ..followed some of the blogs.
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-enhancements-to-essbase-support/
I followed the following steps.
1.Imported the Cubes from ESSBASE.
2.Selected Accounts Hirearchy and changed the Hierarchy type to Value.
3.Dragged the subject area to BMM and to Presentation.
4.Now when i checked the Account Hierarchy from in the dashboard its not drilling down.
If i change the Hierarchy type to Unbalanced ...then the Account hiearchy is working fine.
Is there is any settings or process i have to follow..inorder to implement the Value based Hierarchy in OBIEE 11G source ESSBASE.
Thanks

So basically this means that if I build a parent child hierarchy on table A having the stucture like
--David (Manager)
-----James (Off1)
--------Bill (Off2)
and in my sales fact table for let's say today, I have only rows for Bill (Off2) because he is the only officer who did the sales today. Now when I will join my fact table to parent child hierarchy table A I will NOT get any data ? because there is no James who is the parent of Bill. So obiee need to have parent pulled off in the data (ANCESTOR) to be able to roll up the child.(IS_LEAF = 1)
I testes this and if my data only contains only rows for Bill (or I limit on ROLE = Off2) then it won't show the hierarchy. The query which OBIEE fires is to look for either ANCESTOR_KEY = NULL OR (DISTANCE = 1 AND ANCESTOR KEY IN (Bill). Therefore it doesn't I am wondering then what is the use of builiding the parent child hierarchy when we need to pull in all the ancestors (like in this case James for bill and David for james) because in real scenarios there can be cases wherein we would want to filter the data based on other dimensions to which the parent child hierarchy joins ?

How to update a parent child hierarchy in OBIEE

Hello All
Quick question about updating parent child hierarchy in OBIEE.
As we know, OBIEE 11G allows us to create value based hierarchy by generating table creation script and insert script. In the typical example of employee dimension, the parent child relationship table will be created with the following 4 attributes:
MEMBER_KEY, ANCESTOR_KEY, DISTANCE, IS_LEAF
So, what if later in the years some of the employees got promoted, retired or transferred? The value based hierarchy is going to change because person 1 reports to manager 2 now instead of 1. Obviously, the records in employee dimension is going to be updated. When that happens, how to update the parent child relation table with the same information? Do we have to rerun the insert script? How do we keep the history of employee changes and hierarchy changes?
Please advice
Thank you

I guess it will update when the structure changes,Let see the response from other gurus.
Thanks,

Help needed in building a tree without duplicating the nodes

Iam trying to construct a tree, ID name as the parent node and channel name & channel values as its corresponding child nodes.
I had constructed the tree, but the problem i have is with interfacing that with in my main program. In the main program say suppose I have 5 Id's, each Id has some X number of channel's. And each channel has a value.
Each Id is indexed and passed to the for loop. And since this for loop is inside the while loop each ID will be executed for every 5 iterations.
Id, channel names will be constant each time it gets executed, but the channel value's will be updated during run time.
If I directly feed the Id, channel names and values, replacing the constants in the vi, the tree is duplicating the messages, each time a ID is received inside the for loop, it is creating a new parent and child nodes.
Please help me in fixing this issue, and constructing the tree, where the ID and channel names are not not duplicated.For better understanding Iam attaching a snapshot shot, which tells at what point the ID, channel name array and value is received.

channel_info.vi ‏31 KB
channel.png ‏60 KB

Caleb Harris, the arbitration ID is not the same each time. Cluster has several different id's, this can be seen in the attached screen shot. Attached sreen shot shows the cluster information, a sample ID unbundled from the array and the list of channels in that Arbitration ID. I got an idea how to construct the tree but for that,
1)Need to store all this arbitartion Id's,channel's , and values in 3- different arrays (Channel array and the values array must have the same size).
2)Channel array must be in synchronus with the Value array say like the first index value of the value_array should represent the value of the first element of the channel
array, similarly the second index value of the value_array should represent the value of the second element of the channel array and so on.
3) When ever the channel value gets updated, that particular element of the value array should be updated.
If I can do this 3- steps I think I can succesfully build a tree. Can you please take a look at the snapshot and help me out in doing this.

Problem in building swing tree

I am trying to build a tree with the values obtained from the database.
I have clearly explained the steps i have followed and the problem i am facing
Please look at the below code, where i have given step by step explanation
can any one help me i n solving my problem?
//global variables
String ioGlobalDesc = null;
TransferObject transObj = null;
ObjVO[] ioObjVO = null; //holds the values to build the intial tree
ObjVO[] ioObjExpTree;//hold the child value of the every expansion
pv.jfcx.PVNode root;
1) I have a root node PVNode which inturn extends DefaultMutableTreeNode
pv.jfcx.PVNode root;
2) createIntialTree()
This is the first method i call to obtain the values from the database .This method inturns
call the setRootNode method to build my initial tree where i am passing the root and the ioObjVO[] which has the
values obtained from the database
/******************createInitial Tree starts here****************************/
public void createIntialTree(TransferObject poTransferObject)
          Hashtable output = poTransferObject.getResponseData();
          ioObjVO = (ObjVO[]) output.get("ObjVO");
          setRootNodes(root,ioObjVO);
3) After the setRootNode method is called from the createIntial tree,I am setting the values obtained
from the database to the root node.Here i am using my own class called MyNode which extends the PVNode,
This i am creating to set the desc and id for the particular node.
If you see the setRootNode method, I have created a node called ioCategory where i am setting the id and
description for the particular node. i have added ioCategory Node to the HashMap where desc is set as key and ioCategory itself is the value.
Now ioCategory node is added to the root node.
I am finiding the childcount for the obtained values from the database.while building the intial tree itself,if the child count is greater than zero,i am creating a subNode with empty values, this i am creating to denote that the particular node has the child.
i am adding the subNode to the ioCategory.
Now i am able to see the intial tree and also if node has childcount>0 then i am able to see the node handle.
Now if i click any of the node which has the childcount>0,it has take the particular node id and fetch the relavant child values
for the id i send,This is done when i expand my tree
Now i have expanded a node Which has childcount>0 and retrieved the values from the database
please see the treeExpand method,where the Expansion event is triggered and every expansion i am sending the
id to the database.
Here i have a global vairable called [ioGlobalDesc = e.getPath().getLastPathComponent().toString();]
where i am holding the current event triggered.
In the expandTree method , this is the method which is being called for every expansion i make ,
Here i will be gettig the values for the node expansion.Now i am setting this value to the
subnode where i am tryting identity the same parent to fix all the child to the same.
for this i have stored my current expansion path and made that as node so that i can fix my childvalues to
this.temp node should actually denote my ioCategory node for which i need to fix the child values.
MyNode temp =(MyNode) loHashMap.get(ioGlobalDesc);
I have another method called createnode to set my child values to the parentnode.Here i am passing the temp as the parameter
which holds the current parent for which i have to fix the values that i have already obtained in the
expandTree method.ioObjExpTree[] holds the childvalues for every expansion i make
My problem is, i am unable to find the same parent for which expansion is made and unable to fix the child nodes.Is there any way to do this?
How do i create both the parent and the child as a dynamic node?
ie is the way i proceeded is right or wrong???????????? i am totally confused.
can any one please help me in solving my problem??????????????
Tell me where i have misunderstood???????????????.or my approach itself is wrong in creating the dynamic tree??
if so how should i do it??????????????????????????????

Hi,
I have used Tree Node type to get the nodes.
The model that I use has the following structure:
There is a top node called <b>Ot_Publ_Details</b>. It has 3 child nodes <b>RepObjects, Subagenobjects and Subscrobjects</b>. These child objects internally has two attributes each.
The tree that i have created has Four Treenode types and 3 TreeItem types.
I have bound the data source of the tree node to Ot_Publ_Details. The first TreeNode is also bound to Ot_Publ_Details. The second tree node is bound to the RepObejcts, the third node to the Subagenobjects and the fourth node to Subscrobjects. The 3 treeitem types are mapped to the corresponding child attributes.
when i execute this application, I get a tree with the topnode taking the value from the first treenode while the other 3 nodes doesnt come as node. instead they come as leaf attributes and they display the values present in the attributes.
Hope the model structure and the UI structure is clear.

Chander

Building netui:tree from XML

          Hi,
          I am trying to build a Tree in Workshop 8.1 using netui:tree tag (for data in
          an XML file).
          The BEA docs say that we have to assign the TreeNode object to the 'tree' attribute
          in the netui:tree tag.
          What is the best way to translate the XML doc into a TreeNode object(s)?
          Thanks,
          Ajay

Building swing tree

is it possible to build a tree with the tree coordinates
i have a tree cordinates field and the description of the co-ordinate in my database
tree-coord description
1.1.2         AAA
1.1.3         aaa
2.1.2         VVV
2.2.3         TTR
I have build a tree according the co-ordinates.can any one give me a clue how to build tree with the given tree cordinates?
is there any API for this?

you can use swings to display data in a hierarchical manner. javax.swing.tree package would do that for you.

Build a tree with recursion

I need to Create a tree and with recursion (not to use SAP FM)
and i have a tree like the following
assume i have a root like
root is level 1 -> customer
child level 2 -> like contact person & address
child level 3 like visiting hours (contact person ) & Email address (adress )
e.g. of the table that i need to provide as output is
item              parent_key   child_key
customer                 0001
contant person         0001         0002
address                   0001         0002
vist                        0002         0003
email                      0002         0003
etc...
let say i get as input always the root and i check for his child and for this node i
look for his child etc how can i provide a table like the above table
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
build your tree step-by-step:
-root node is always shown -> initially add it to the node table of your alv-tree
->user expands root node
->event expand_no_children has to be handled
->check which node threw that event
->if root node, select all persons
->add the person nodes to your alv-tree node-list, as parent use the root node
->refresh alv tree
->user expands person-node
->event expand_no_children has to be handled
->check which node threw that event
->if person node, select all visiting hours
->add the visiting hour nodes to your alv-tree node-list, as parent use the person node
->refresh alv tree
Greetings,

Issue with Skip Level Hierarchy in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have implemented Ragged and Skip Level Hierarchy as explained in the links below in OBIEE 11g RPD.
(checked the 'Ragged' and 'Skipped Levels' check boxes)
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-support-for-ragged-skip-level-value-based-hierarchies/
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/e10540/dimensions.htm#BABFBBFG
When the Presentation Hierarchy is dragged in the OBI Answers, the leaf level beyond the skip (null) levels is not shown in the report.
When any level finds intermediate null values, OBIEE is failing to show the existing value of the leaf level (Most Granular Level) or any values after Skipped Levels.
For example, following is the values in database for different levels of department hierarchy.
A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F
The OBIEE Presentation Hierarchy can only drill down till C, not beyond that. (does not show the leaf level value 'F').
Could you please suggest whether I am missing any step?
Thanks.

Hi, My problem is that in my report it is showing me that levels as -- A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F, however I want to show data as A -> B -> C -> F, i.e the null valus(columns) should be skipped. Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Deepak

Hi All,
we have a to create a hierarchy for the below type.
H1-->H2-->H3-->H5
-->H4
H1
|
H2
| |

|
H5
How to create this type of hierarchy..?
When we click on H1, H2 will display, when we click on H2, H3 and H4 should display, then clicking on H3 should disply H5.
Also how to restrict to either H3/H4 when we click on H2..???
Thanks.

child product1--level 2
child product2--level 3
child product3 ----level 4
and
root2----level 1
child product4----level 2
child product2----level 3
child product3 ----level 4
If u see we have child product2 belongs to two diff hierarchies.
My report req is i want to show all the levels of product in single row.Some thing like
Mb no. level 1 level 2 level 3 level 4

In RPD i have clicked on "convert measure dimension to flat measures" in physical layer.
Now measures are showing up as
                                              Meas1
                                              Meas2

                                              Meas4
But i want meas2,meas3,meas4 to be child of Meas1 and Meas1 is "level only" .
How to achive this in obiee?
Thanks,
