Chart on parent child hiearchy

Hi All,
I am trying to create chart above the table . The table has parent child relationship. However, in chart I want to display only the child values and on table I want to show parent child relationship.
Is there a way to create filter for chart only in obiee report not on table?
Thanks,
Virat

The relation column sits in chart prompts and rest columns you can put in chart.

OBIEE 11g - Navigation in Parent Child Hiearchy not working

Hi All,
I have a employee parent child hierarchy and I want to show revenue for each employee in the report. I have modeled my revenue as a measure like case 4 shown in the following link
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/11/oracle-bi-ee-11g-parent-child-hierarchies-multiple-modeling-methods/
So for example this is my report ,
--David (30)
---Sandra (15)
-----Joe (10)
Joe'e revenue is 10, Sandra's is 5 (showing her 5 Joe's revenue) and David's is 5 (showing his 5 Sandra's revenue)
Issue :
Now what I want is to provide action link on the revenue column so that when user would click on revenue for any employee it would direct them to a detail report showing the bifurcation.
For ex, I want that when user click on 15 which is Sandra's revenue, he would be redirected to a detailed report for Sandra and similary for Joe and David
MY ISSUE IS that the navigation is NOT working for sandra and Joe. It is only working for David (who is the ancestor of sandra and Joe). When I click on 15 to see sandra's detail report, it doesn't do anything and in the bottom left corner of the browser status bar below I see an ERROR saying
(same for Joe but David work's fine)
Message: 'getLevelInfo(...)' is null or not an object
Line: 1
Char: 11142
Code: 0
URI: http://localhost:7001/analytics/res/b_mozilla/answers/selectionsmodel.js
Why is that happening? Is that because I have modeled the revenue as an measure and not attribute. Is navigation not possible in this case?
Anybody has any solution or workaround for this, it will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Ok, so let me explain this in detail and give the structure of my tables and the data,
There are three tables.
1.Parent Child relationship table - pctable
2.Closure table which OBIEE creates through a script - reltable
3.Fact table which contains the revenue - facttable
This is the data
pctable
personid | managerid
David | NULL
Sandra| David
Joe|Sandra
reltable
memberkey | ancestorkey |distance |is_leaf
David|NULL|NULL|0
David|David|0|0
Sandra|Sandra|0|0
Joe|Joe|0|0
Sandra|David|1|0
Joe|Sandra|1|1
Joe|David|2|1
facttable
personid|revenue
David|5
Sandra|5
Joe|10
and my joins conditions are, I join pctable to reltable and then reltable is joined to facttable like this.
pctable.personid = reltable.ancestorkey
reltable.memberkey = facttable.personid
and then in the report, when I pull up the pchierarchy build from pctable and revenue , I get as below and like I said, when I click on Sandra to see the revenue she contributes, I am not able to navigate. Can you let me know what modifications needs to be done?
---David(20)
----Sandra(15)
------Joe(10)

Parent Child Hiearchy - Expand/Collapse problems

Hello,
We are on 11.1.1.6 and have built a parent child hierarchy on one of our dimensions. Navigation of the hierarchy works just fine if no measures are included. When a measure is added, the hierarchy becomes nearly unnavigable. That is to say clicking on the plus/minus signs doesn't work. Clicking in various locations of the screen can sometimes get it to work but it is ridiculously hard to get anywhere. The fact table from which the measure is pulled is very small, approx. 100,000 rows so we don't see that as the problem.
Has anybody else seen such a problem?
Thanks.

Can you provide more info on this, how have you modeled the hierarchy with the fact table, are you rolling up the measures for the child to the parent level (modeling as measures) or each employee is showing its own revenue only (modeled as attribute)? If it is modeled as measures where you join the employee table to the closure table and then that to fact table then are you applying any filters in your report ? If you are applying filters in your report and somehow only parent is filtered (and not its children) then you won't be able to drill down, though you will see the + sign against it.

Navigation in Parent Child Hiearachy is a bug in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 ?

Hi All,
Please look into one of my earlier posts
OBIEE 11g - Navigation in Parent Child Hiearchy not working
One of my friends Ram told me that this is an Oracle Bug in 11.1.1.6. It's I just wanted to know if anybody has faced the same issue and reported this as a bug in Oracle. Unfortunately, i don't have the privileges to log a bug or see the bug information, can anybody please provide any information on this ?
Thanks,
Ronny

Hi,
Bug 14406555 : 11.1.1.6.2BP1 UPGRADE : ACTION LINK INTERACTION FAILS WITH GETLEVELINFO ERROR
FYI: MOS
What actually did happen?
After the upgrade, when they expand the parent-child hierarchy and click on the measure column to navigate through the Action Link, nothing happens and they see error in the IE browser at the bottom - Message: 'getLevelInfo(...)' is null or not an objectLine: 1Char: 11175Code: 0URI: http://nyfsqla105.ny.fw.gs.com:9704/analytics/res/b_mozilla/answers/selectionsmodel.js It does not show any error in FF but it does not do anything. Inspite of checking "Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime" for Action links, it does show pop up after the upgrade.

Parent/Child Master Data Type

I recently created a new master data type in my model, which included one attribute with the 'parent' check box checked - to signify that it was to be used as the parent.
Upon activating the master data type - the system auto generated several other attributes within the master data type. My question is, what is the purpose of these additional attributes and how are they to be used?
Before Activation:
Attribute
Description
Notes
ID
ID
<< marked as key and as required
DESCR
Description
<< no special check boxes checked
PID
Parent ID
<< marked with parent check box
After activation:
Attribute

Hey JJ,
The purpose of these attributes is for parent-child hierachy relationship.
In addition to above mentioned attributes, you should also notice (via HANA studio), that another Planning object gets generated automatically. The new planning object should be the name of your parent-child object plus "_ANC" prefix at the end.
If you take a look at this planning object, you will notice that the object contains all the generated attributes (your attriubute plus "A" prefix at the end) in the definition.
Once you load data into your parent-child hiearchy object the "_ANC" object will automatically get populated with parent-child node relationship.
"A-prefix" attriubutes essentially represents the attributes of ancestor in this case.
In addition, in order to do Ancestor rolllup in your calculation you will also need to create an ancestor planning level which contains all the attriubutes of your base planning level as well as these "A-Prefix" attributes.
Please take a look at the document we created for "How to configure Parent-Child Hiearchy" from the share link
It has more detailed information.
Thanks.
Daniel.

Parent Child Hierachy Revenue Rollup Issue

Hi All,
I have modeled my parent child hiearchy in such a way that revenue for each parent is equal to sum of his revenue and all his descendents. So If this my table
Empname|Revenue
David|100
James|25
Terry|30
this is what my hierachy shows
--David(155)
---James(25)
---Terry(30)
Now this is working perfectly fine and this is how users want it to be. To roll up the revenue for all the descendents uptil the top level.
The issue is, users also want to see what revenue David contributed. Because, as per the above example, when they try to add 25(James) + 30(Terry), it comes to 55 and the revenue contributed by David (100) becomes implicit and David straightaway shows 155. So they want to have a small pop up or any other column in the report which bifurcates David's revenue with others just to add more sense to David's revenue of 155.
Is there any workaround which could be done in the same report or do I have to create a separate detail report ?
Thanks,
Ronny

Thanks Dpka, I did exactly that, there is a small issue. Let's say my hierarchy is (I have just dded one more level under David). So James and Terry reports to Thomas and Thomans reports to David.
--David(165)
----Thomas(65)
------James(25)
------Terry(30)
David is the top level and Thomans the next level. Now when I click on David, it takes me to the target report and shows me the revenue as expected but when I click on either Thomas, James or Terry, it doesn't take me to the target report. At the bottom left it shows me an error. This is what the error is
Message: 'getLevelInfo(...)' is null or not an object
Line: 1
Char: 11142
Code: 0
URI: http://wmdwm100a.midlandls.int:7001/analytics/res/b_mozilla/answers/selectionsmodel.js
So It is working only for the top level managers whose doesn't have any anscestor. Any ideas why is tha so?
Thanks,
Ronny

Parent-child relation

hi,
i create parent and child values for a segment in GL
how can i create a automatic calculation of the amount of all the child values for a parent value?
thanks a lot,
best regards

Hi
If you set up "Parent Child" Relationship in Oracle, the system will not sum up the child values at the parent level. However if you use the parent value in FSG the system will sum up the child values and show the same in FSG report.
If you want automatic summing up, you must use summary accounts and rollup groups feature in Oracle.
But I suggest that if you are using a small sized Chart of account (350-400 items), I suggest using parent child relationship since it is intutive.

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 ?

Empty parent-child hierarchy if a date attribute is "1800-01-01 00:00:00.000"!

I have an Employees dimension that contains a parent-child hierarchy as the supervisor->employees (Org. chart. starts from the CEO to the lowest level of employees). The hierarchy is built on a relation between the employee_id (as the primary and
surrogate key) and supervisor_id (as a foreign key). There are many other attributes in this dimension one of them is the Termination_Date. The value for Termination_Date for the current employees in the source
system is "1800-01-01 00:00:00.000" (which is also the default value). The weird thing is that keeping this value in the employee dimension will cause the previously mentioned parent-child hierarchy to show nothing! if I change it to any other
value or NULL, the hierarchy works fine and shows the expected tree of employees!
I can change "1800-01-01 00:00:00.000" to Null in the ETL stage and solve the problem, but I want really to know what causes this ? why ?!

Parent Child Hierarchy causes numbers to be different

Hello,
We have a parent child hierarchy in our chart of account dimensions. When the hierarchy is included in an analysis, the numbers are correct. If the hierarchy is not included in the analysis and a column from the dimension with the hierarchy is included, the numbers are very different. They are overstated by a large amount.
For Example, I have two analysis:
-In the first analysis the hierarchy is included and the grand total is 2,383,080,784.
-The second analysis has simply excluded the hierarchy from the analysis and the total shoots all the way up to 6,901,729,527.
I have screen shots but don't know how to include them in this kind of a post.
Has anybody else seen such behavior? This seems like it would be a big deal so either we are doing something wrong or this is a bug that needs fixed.
We are on 11.1.1.6
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I'm actually using snapshots. But even with the Type 2 Dim I don't think it will work.
When OBIEE generates the very first sql against the Parent-Child table the fact table is not included in the query. It seems to create 2 queries - one to find the top level parent (ancestor key is null) and then one to find all the leaf nodes.
It does not have any join to the fact table when it does this. So if you have multiple rows in the table (with date stamps) for a single row (person in this case) - it picks up both rows. Therefore, when you have a person who was, say, promoted to manager, and WAS a leaf node, and is now a manager, they show up in the leaf query and don't display in the hierarchy as a manager.
Once it has the leaf nodes and it joins to the fact table everything works (ie the surrogate key join).
I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to influence those initial queries against the parent-child table.
Hopefully that made sense.
Thanks,
Tori

Parent-child hierarchy - Values not showing

Hi all,
I've created an Account Dimension based on the account dimension in Adventure Works Cube.
What I need to know is how to show account's values when I drag the Account Number to the grid. When I drag the Accounts chart to the grid, all the accounts are shown and their values are shown as well, but when I drag only the Account Number to the grid
only the leaves' accounts are shown. Any ideas?
Rafael Fontana

Hi Rafael,
According to your description, you created a Parent-child hierarchy using account dimension in Adventure Works Cube, and now you want to query out the members on that dimension, right? If in this case, here is a blog which give out some sample query about
how to query dimension members, please see:
Querying dimension members in MDX
If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out and elaborate your issue, so that we can make further analysis.

Re: Circular Parent-Child relationship amongwidgets.

Alaiah,
Setting the parent to NIL is the proper thing to do to remove
a widget from a panel. Why don't you try just setting it
to NIL and not adding the new chart to the window to make
sure that it gets removed. If that doesn't work, maybe
Window.UpdateDisplay, but you shouldn't have to do that.
As far as the parent-child relationship issue, when you set
the widget's Parent to NIL, that is actually invoking a virtual
attribute that does more than just NIL out the reference. One
of the things that happens is that the child is removed from
the parent's Children array. Do a task.lgr.putline(<parent>.Children.Items)
to see how many items are in the array, then do the NIL, then
do a second putline and you'll see the array has one less item.

Merge data/result sets that are't parent/child?

Hi:
I've seen a few examples of making a data template so that a BI report can have master/detail data. They make a Q1 data set and a Q2 data set with a bind variable to link the two in a parent/child relationship.
But what I need is effectively a UNION. I have the same table on multiple database instances and I want to show the grouped results in one report as if it all came from one table. The master/detail examples have a section defining grouping but they group by Q1 (see here)
http://blogs.oracle.com/BIDeveloper/data_template/
and I need to group by a column that is in Q1 and Q2 to "merge" the two data sets.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks.

I've messed up what I had! lol
I'll try and recreate things tomorrow and get it to you, thanks.
I seem to be having some quirks with all this (or I'm just confused). I initially had a data model that selected a few columns and a count(*) an grouped the results. I modified the data model to not have the count but every time I do "insert table/chart" in RTF the count column shows up as a possible column to move over with >>. I've re-opened the document so it should have the latest data model. Is this normal? A bug? Am I just lost?
Thanks.

Query Help with Parent, Child, Child's Child

Hi all,
Need some help with a query. I'm trying to create a stored procedure that is sort of like a Customer, Order, Order, Details. In my situation the tables are different but nevertheless, I want to grab all the fields from the Parent, Child,

@ProjectID int = 0
AS
SELECT *,
(SELECT *,
(SELECT *

Problem with saving Parent - Child View Objects in ADF 11g.

Hi Every one,
I have a requirment, something like I will be displaying some data on my jsff screen based on one Transient View Object. Whenever user clicks on Save button, I have to do following steps in my AMImpl.
-> Preapre dynamically Parent View Object Rows based on some logic
-> Prepare dynamically Child View object Rows and invoke insertRow method on respective child view object.
When I say commit() First Parent ViewObject data need to be saved and then Child View object data has to be saved. I am having Parent - Child Key relation ship btw these two ViewObjects. Some how I am populating the Parent Primary key in the Child View Object. Please suggest me If there is any other alternative to this.
Thanks

I got the solution, Enabling the check box option for Master - Detail Entity association (CompositionAssociation -> Cascade Update Key Attributes) resolved the issue.
Thanks
