Can OBIEE handle hierarchy built from different dimension tables?

Can I build an hierarchy with values at various levels appearing from other dimension tables in the model ?
Thanks

Hi,
if you want to drill in Answers from an attribute of a dimension to the attribute of anothr dimension, you can use the Preferred Drill Path inside the level of an hierachy.
For example:
Dime Time
-Year
--Month
---Day
Dim Geography
-Continent
--Nation
---City
If you set in the Month level of the Dim Time the Preferred Drill Path to Nation, in Answer when you drill from Month you see Nation.
I hope it helps.

Gianluca

How can I handle global variables from different DLLs created based on VIs that access those variables

My goal is to break apart an entirely LabView created application so I can still use parts of it (builded as Shared DLLs upon on some VIs) in my new .Net application. My problem is that some others VIs (that I am not intending using) are changing those global variables (in the natural data flow of the application). I could , of course, send the values of those global variables as parameters, but I don't know how should I pass those data types (and their size)... There are some clusters there...
Any help is well appreciated

Your
problem is of course the use of globals. That is almost always a bad
idea and asking for troubles once your application gets bigger.
Avoiding race conditions and undesired influences between different
parts of your application will take up more and more of your
development time as your project grows.
You should look into Functional Globals (LV2 style globals) and shift
registers for data storage and queues for passing information between
different parts of your applciation. Using these techniques
consequently, will require you to spend some more time initially but
will allow you to grow your application without increasing the
complexity of managing such things exponentially.

Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?

Is it possible to have Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?
Like 1)Year-Qtr-Month-Weeks 2)Year-Month-Days

Hi,
or if your lowest level is the same like
Day->month->year->Total
Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
Then yes, it is.
Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.
Then when you would add your second base level, there is a special option for it, something like use other hierarchy level/shared level (sorry can't recall and does not have a connection right now) then you select your existing day level under your businessmonth level.
Hope this helps,

Trying to use 2 different Dimension tables and make a hierarchy on some columns which are split into these dimensions .. how do I do that

Trying to use 2 different Dimension tables and make a hierarchy on some columns which are split into these dimensions .. how do I do that

If you need to make a hierarchy in an Attribute view you need to have all relevant fields/columns in the same Dimension table..

Concatenate 2 columns from 2 different dimension tables

Hi,
I have 2 columns one from each dimension table.
Column A from Dimension 1 and Column B from Dimension 2.
In my answers i want the results as "dim1.Col A / Dim2.Col B".
I used the concatenate function and it dint give me the results. Both the columns are Non Numeric columns.
I use 2 fact tables in my analysis and data from both the fact tables are combined in 1 analysis.
There are non confirming dimensions between the 2 facts and hence we used hierarchies and level based measures to overcome the issue of non conforming dimensions between the 2 facts.
Any ideas on how to concatenate the 2 different dimension columns into the report ?
Thanks,
Chandra

never mind, i did it using summary columns, thanks

How to read the hierarchy data from the same table using loop in AMDP method

Hi All,
We have a requirement to get the top partner from BUT050 table.
Here the Top parent is nothing but the top most in the hierarchy of the partners from BUT050.
Example:
For partner 1234 (BUT050-PARTNER1) there is partner 3523(BUT050-PARTNER2) one level above
For partner 3523(BUT050-PARTNER1) there is partner 4544 (BUT050-PARTNER2) last level .
so in this case for the partner 1234 the Top parent is 4544 .
I have created AMDP Procedure method to get the top-parnet and below given is the logic implemented in AMDP method.
Here i have implemented a recursive logic with the WHILE loop to get the top most hierarchy partner from the same table BUT050
IV_Parent is the input partner and ev_top_parent is the output value.
AMDP Procedure Method:
 DECLARE lv_date VARCHAR(8) := TO_VARCHAR (current_date, 'YYYYMMDD');
 DECLARE found INT := 1;
 iv_partner1 = SELECT partner1 FROM but050
 WHERE partner2 = iv_partner
 AND reltyp = :iv_hierarchy
 AND date_to >= :lv_date
 AND date_from <= :lv_date;
 WHILE found <> 0 do
 select partner1 into ev_top_parent from :iv_partner1;
 iv_partner1 = SELECT partner1 FROM but050
 WHERE partner2 in ( select partner1 from :iv_partner1 where partner1 is not null)
 AND reltyp = 'ZBP004'
 AND date_to >= :lv_date
 AND date_from <= :lv_date;
 select COUNT ( partner1 ) INTO found FROM :IV_PARTNER1;
 END WHILE;
This method is working fine, but here it is only taking one single partner and getting the top parent as output.
Now i would like to convert this mehtod so as to accept n number of partners (not one single partner) as input and should process each partner to get the top parent.
Could anyone guide me how can i handle the given AMDP method further so as to work some how it is within another loop from other AMDP method.
Thanks.

Laxman.P

Hi
Go to SE11 and enter the hierarchy table name.
/BIC/H....(infoobject name)...and execute the table and select table entry and delete all....

How to insert data from different internal table into a data base table

hi all,
I want to insert a particular field in an internal table to a field in a data base table.Note that the fields in the internal table and database table are not of the same name since i need to insert data from different internal tables.can some one tell me how to do this?
in short i want to do something like the foll:
INSERT INTO ZMIS_CODES-CODE VALUE '1'.
*INSERT INTO ZMIS_CODES-COL1 VALUE DATA_MTD-AUFNR .(zmis_codes is the db table and data_mtd is the int.table)

REPORT ZINSERT.
tables kna1.
data: itab LIKE KNA1.
data lv_kUNAG LIKE KNA1-KUNNR.
lv_kuNAG = '0000010223'.
ITAB-kuNNR = lv_kuNAG.
ITAB-name1 = 'XYZ'.
INSERT INTO KNA1 VALUES ITAB.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WRITE:/ 'SUCCESS'.
ELSE.
WRITE:/ 'FAILED'.
ENDIF.
Here lv_kunag is ref to kna1 kunnr passed in different name
In internal table .
Try and let me know if this logic dint work.

How to join fields from different internal tables and display into one int

hai i have one doubt...
how to join fields from different internal tables and display into one internal table..
if anybody know the ans for this qus tell me......

hii
you can read data as per condition and then can join in one internal table using READ and APPEND statement..refer to following code.
SELECT bwkey                         " Valuation Area
         bukrs                         " Company Code
    FROM t001k
    INTO TABLE i_t001k
   WHERE bukrs IN s_bukrs.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    SELECT bwkey                       " Valuation Area
           werks                       " Plant
      FROM t001w
      INTO TABLE i_t001w
       FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_t001k
     WHERE bwkey = i_t001k-bwkey
       AND werks IN s_werks.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      LOOP AT i_output INTO wa_output.
        READ TABLE i_t001w INTO wa_t001w WITH KEY werks = wa_output-werks.
        READ TABLE i_t001k INTO wa_t001k WITH KEY bwkey = wa_t001w-bwkey.
        wa_output-bukrs = wa_t001k-bukrs.
        MODIFY i_output FROM wa_output.
        CLEAR wa_output.
      ENDLOOP.                         " LOOP AT i_output

OBIEE Group By on 2 facts and concatenated columns from different dimensions

Hi
I have a different kind of problem involving 2 fact tables with different dimensional attributes.
Fact 1 has Dim Attributes ( Cust,Facility )
Measure - Gross Amount
Fact2 has Dim attributes (Cust,Facility and Risk Group )
Measure : Exposure Amount
Since we have 2 facts with different dimensions,
to exclude the 'Risk Group' dimension column from the group by for the Fact1,
we set the 'Gross Amount' measure to total level (Risk Group Dimension ) in contents tab.
So the values from both the fact tables appears in the same report correctly.
But in the same report we have another requirement where the rating column from the customer dimension has to be concatenated with the ratings column in the facility dimension.
We have to concatenate customer.rating with the facility.rating and display it in the report.
when we just pull the individual columns from the dimensions into the report it works fine.
But when we try to concatenate the 2 columns and show it in the report,
the concatenated column does not appear in the select or the group by in the SQL Fact2.( Generated by OBIEE )
The other fact1 has the concatenated column in the select as well as the group by clause ( Generated by OBIEE )
As a result the report shows the concatenated values only for the results from the Fact1. But the results from Fact2 does not have the concatenated column values.
The report should look like the below:
Custor.Name,     Customer.Id,     Facility.Name,     Facility.Id,     Customer.Rating/Facility.Rating,     Risk Group,     Gross Amount,     Exposure Amount
===========    =========      ===========     =========   ========================      =========     ===========     ===============
JPMC                123                    GROSS               123               08/10                                                  LNL                    45,000               25,000

As suggested you really want to move your none-aggregated fact attributes to a logical dimension (using the same physical table as the logical fact). Map this in the BMM layer as a snowflake, Place a hierarchy on this dimension with (at minimum) Total -> Detail levels, then on the other fact table you want to include in the report, set the content level on your other fact measures to the 'Total' level for your new logical Dim and it will allow them to be present in the same report.

Stored Value from different Dimension

Hi, I am new to Hyperion Essbase and need some help from a kindsoul here.My cube is as follows- Measure - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost- Division - SCN TOTAL - SCN R&D Div Variable Cost and Fixed Cost are Child of Measure and SCNR&D Div is child of SCN TOTAL and SCN TOTAL is Child ofDivision. I use Excel to get data from SCNTOTAL or SCN R&D Div, eg SCNTOTAL SCNR&D DivFixed Cost 34 FixedCost 30Variable Cost 45 VariableCost 40 But now I have a concern. I wish to store data from SCN R&D Div to Variable Cost so I think I need a formula to do this but how? i.e I need to store data from SCN R&D Div (different dimension) to Variable Costso when I use excel to get data from SCN TOTAL, I still able to getSCN R&D Div for Variable Cost. SCNTOTAL Fixed Cost 34 Variable Cost 40 Thank you. 

Hi Hutchia, thanks a lot for your reply. I give you a moredetailed of my cube structure.-Measure - Miscellaneous Cost (+) - Variable Cost (~) - Utilities Cost (+) - Misc Cost-R&D Div(+) - Fixed Cost (~) - Division - SCN TOTAL - SCN R&D Div ("SCN R&D Div 1" + "SCN R&D Div2") - SCN R&D Div 1 - SCN R&D Div 2 Miscellaneous Cost, Variable Cost and Fixed Cost are Childs ofMeasure. Variable Cost and Fixed Cost are newly added. UtilitiesCost and Misc Cost-R&D Div are Childs of Variable Cost In Division dimension, SCN TOTAL is Child of Division and SCNR&D Div is Child of SCN TOTAL. So when my users do a spreadsheet (Lock & Send) method, theywill use this spreadsheet below SCN R&D Div 1 SCN R&D Div 2Miscellaneous Cost 30 20 If user do a spreadsheet display of the Database, it willshow SCN TOTALMiscellaneous Cost 50 or SCN R&D Div Miscellaneous Cost 50SCN R&D Div 1 Miscellaneous Cost 30 SCN R&D Div 2 Miscellaneous Cost 20 So now I need to add in 2 user information, Variable/Fixed Costaccording to my user request. There were some formulas including toget the desired results. Users wants the below report SCN TOTALVariable Cost 100Fixed Cost 50 Problem: In the Variable Cost, Child, Utilities Cost is toget from SCN TOTAL and only Misc Income-R&D Div is to get fromSCN R&D Div which will add up SCN R&D Div 1 and SCN R&DDiv 2 for Miscellaneous Cost ONLY. Sorry to trouble you but I really can't think of a way out.I was thinking of using Calculation Script after loading updata, calculate the value from Miscellaneous Cost which sums up SCNR&D Div1 and SCN R&D Div 2 and pass to Misc Cost-R&DDiv but how should I do that?

Can we create one repository from different data Source

Hi Experts
I have one doubt
1. Can we create one repository in OBIEE from different source like..
I have three Database(Oracle) and i want to create one single repository from different source.
2. If my Database are different like(Oracle,DB2,Teradata..)
Thanks in advance
Regards
Frnds

Hi..
Yes It's possible to create a repository from different datasources, provided there should be different DSN for each...
If it's ORACLE, we can import objects from OCI directly.. by mentioning the TNS Name, without creating DSN

OBIEE 11g - Combine data from two Oracle tables

Good day!
I tried to combine data from two Oracle tables as fact data, but it doesn't work.
My steps: I created SCOTT.EMP2 table from SCOTT.EMP table, update EMPNO and ENAME values of EMP2 table to distinguish data of my tables. Then I imported physical tables DEPT, EMP and EMP2 to BIEE 11g, created joins DEPT-EMP and DEPT-EMP2 in physical diagram. Then I dragged DEPT and EMP tables to BMM, and EMP2 table to EMP as second LTS. In Content tab for EMP and EMP2 I checked "This source should be combined with other sources at this level" checkboxes. Then I renamed logical tables EMP and DEPT to Employees and Departments and dragged them to Presentation area. In Answers I created Analysis with columns DNAME and ENAME.
The problem is that data on results tab is only from one physical table EMP or EMP2 (depending on the order of sources EMP and EMP2 of LT Employees) and not from both.
Can anybody help? Am I missed something?
Al.

Hi Al,
I think you have to define the content of the LTS.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_BusModSetup16.html
You have to specify the content of the different fragments.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_SetUpAggNav3.html#wp1005333
Maybe you have to add an additional column 'Source' ('EMP1', 'EMP2')
Good Luck,

Can't find the topics from the main table of contents

I need urgent help. I am still running RH 8 for Word (2007). I published the entire project. When testing the main table of contents, the books and topics appear as expected, but when I try to go to any of the topics I get the message:
The topic does not exist. Contact your application vendor....
From the individual projects I can see the topics. When I publish them and view the contents all seem to work fine, but it does not when viewing the entire project from the main table of contents.
The main project looks as follows:

Tried that and still have the problem. The RH help lists the following workaround for the error
message :
To workaround this WinHelp viewer limitation, you can either manually insert the Help filename statement on every page of the external CNT file or allow RoboHelp to automatically do it for you:
1 Open the Help file containing the included external CNT file.
2 From RoboHelp Explorer’s File menu, select Project Settings.
3 Select the Contents tab.
4 Select the Include Help filename with pages option. When you save the TOC file, this option automatically places the "@helpfilename.hlp" inside the CNT file on every page.
5 Click OK.
6 Save the external CNT file.
7 Recompile the Help project
I went to the main index project which contains the external cnt file and tried to select the contents tab (no such tab in the project settings). Then I went to the actual project, and again, selected Project Settings there is no Contents Tab. Is there any other way to get that contents tab?
This is how my screen looks like:
