Choose Drill Path

Hi,
Can anyone help? I have set up a dimension containing the hierarchy and drill items. However the user in answers does not see the drill path and cannot choose from which item they wish to drill from.
For example, I have 4 levels:
Market
Sales Person
Introducer
Customer
The user can only drill across these levels to reach customer, is there a way where the user can choose to drill from Market to Customer without having to go through each level? Please note that these levels should exist but just allow the user some flexibility in choosing the drill path
Thanks

You can set up 'prefered drill path' in Market level in dimesional hierarchy.Set prefred drill path as Customer level.Then if you click on Market it will go directly to Customer.
But then user wont be able to navigate to Sales Person level from Market level.Another way is to create a report with Market and Customer columns in it.Then give navigation path to this report from Market column in parent report.This will also serve the purpose.

Sandeep

Deactivate the drill path selection

Hi everybody!
When more than one hierarchy starts with the same dimension object path but diverges at a lower level of the hierarchy Web Intelligence prompts and asks for the applied drill path!
In the universe documentation I found the sentence: The default path in the user module will be the one that is higher in the custom hierarchies list.
But Web Intelligence is always prompting and never chooses the default path.
Is there a oppertunity to disable the prompt and just use the default drill path?
Thank you in advance,
Sebastian

Hi,
thank you for the answort, but this is not, what I mean.
It is good If the user gets prompted if the drill requires additional data.
My hierarchy starts with the same dimension object path but diverges at a lower level of the hierarchy Web Intelligence prompts and asks for the applied drill path, although there is defined a default path in the BO Universe.
Can I hide this additional prompt?

Issue with the drill path in Hierarchy in OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
We have upgraded to 11g(11.1.16.6) and an issue we are facing is that the drill path for the time hierarchy is not same.
In 10g its Year >Quarter >Month>Date.
BUt in 11g its rendering as Year >Quarter >Month>Week Number >Date.
The week number is present in the hierarchy defined in the RPD, but the week number has "Use for Display " unchecked.
Not sure why it then is coming up in the drill .

Hi,
You try to make the changes in the hierarchy as per required,and clear the cache then reload the rpd and then restart the services.
its just a try, and reward me if it correct.
Thanks,

Display drilling path at granular level of report title in BAM 11g

Is it possible to show drilling path at report title location at the granular level of drill-down?consider that i have a report zone wise distribution of total price in a barchart.Once i click on say east zone it will show office wise distribution once i click on say canada-office bar it will show the details of the canada office.in the canada office details lavel i want to disply total driling path in the report title location at run time.so i can have at the report title location of the granular level eastzone-->canada office-->like this.if you have any solution on that please help me.thanks in advanced.

Any FM to choose the path on Presentation server while GUI_Download

Hi Friends,
Is there any FM to choose the folder path while downloading a file on to presentation server.
I am using GUI_Download with a fixed path to store but user wants to choose the path where to store.(functionality similar to what we use if we download any thing form our lotusnotes mail or downlaoding anything from net)
I fixed it to c:/ but user wants it to control, so is there any FM for this.
I need a FM like KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4 but while downloading.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.

Preferred drill path

Hi,
I created a dimesion on three of my dimension table. I gave a preferred drill path from one dimesion to another. So if I click Account from first table it should dispaly values of Portfolio in the second dimension and if I click name then it should display secuirty code from third dimension. I gave a preferred dill path to do this. and I selected the columns, I want to drill thru and enabled the drill down key. My question in now when I select ay column from the any dimesion table it is giving me option to click and it is drilling to the columns to which I enabled drill down. For example in my first dimesion I chose 'Account numbe'r and second dimension I chose 'Name' . Now when I select any column from first dimension it let me drill thru and it displays Account number. When I click Account Number it displays name. I want only the drill thru feature to be enabled on Account Number, Name. All other columns should not let me drill thru. Is this possible or do we ahve to live with this.

*@787565, are you user4683504?*
Your question is eerily exactly like the original OP's question of this thread and after reading this post...
User with 78 series - something fishy
...it got me thinking about why your handle is a "number" rather than a name like most handles?
If you are not the same person, please open your own thread, but I would still like an answer to the questions above (in bold).

Different drill paths for a common Essbase Dimension with varied depth

Hi,
Need a solution to a problem that I have come across where in I have two Essbase cubes, In both the cubes there exists a dimension A, the dimension has different number of levels in each of the cubes. How do I associate the dimension drill path to match their existing structure in the respective cubes? I want to have only one dimension in the BMM Level.
An example scenario would be :
Cube 1: Product -> Product Category -> Product Sub-Category -> Product Name
Cube 2: Product -> Product Category
I want to have only one Product Dimension in the BMM layer and have multiple Hierarchies on it. My Problem is how do I associate the drill path specific to the cube on which it should work? The cubes are identical to each other in every other aspect other than this one difference.
Thanks and Regards,
jboy

@user3879025: No-one mentioned SAP and ragged hierarchies work perfectly fine for Essbase and MS Analysis server for example.
@jboy: Well ok, so you will have logical table and one hierarchy.
Physically, you will have to define a complex join (physical ones won't work...we discussed that lately here) where Cube1.Country = Cube2.Country.
The logical table will have four logical columns "World", "Region", "Country" and "City". You create those by starting off with the logical table from Cube1. The you pull Cube2.Country onto the Cube1.Country column to get a double mapping for that column. The you pull the Cube2.City column onto the Cube2 logical table source.
Now go through the LTS and columns and make sure they have the correct levels set. LTS for Cube1 will be at level "Country". LTS Cube2 will be "City".
For the hierarchy, you'll also start off with the one which has been created from Cube1.
Since there's now only one column called "Country" remaining, you're already in the green down to that level. Now add a new child which contains the "City" column. That's your hierarchy taken care of.
Now the thing missing is the measures of course. Here you will need to get the levels right again. Cube1.Measure1 and Cube1.Measure2 will be at content level "Country" while the Cube2 measures will be at level "City".
Best thing to do would be to confine that model in an own business model (at least an own presentation catalog) to eliminate problems coming from other (unconforming) dimensions that you will most likely have and hence potential errors thrown for users which are unaware of the actual structure in the background.

Setting a condition for preferred drill path.

Is there a way we can set a condition for preferred drill path in hierarchy?
Our requirement is to skip levels if they have no values..
Thanks in advance.

No you can't (90% sure)
But may be you have ragged hierarchies, have you seen this blog on how to model it ?

How to provide drill option dynamically using Preferred Drill Path?

Hi,
I have three dimensions viz., JE_Category, Transactions and Receipts.
How can I drill to Tansactions or Receipts based on the value selected by the user from JE_Category.
I tried Preferred Drill Path concept by adding Trx_Number from Transactions and Receipt_Number from Receipts.
But it is taking only one path and getting error when I select the other one in JE_Category..
Any other way to implement this concept or please guide me if it is possible with Preferred Drill Path..
Thanks in Advance

It is possible to use the Preferred Drill Path only in Dimension (hierarchy). Then only we can drill down to other dimension hierarchy(i.e., feature of Preferred Drill Path).
My problem is how to drill down to the other dimension when I have multiple dimesions available..
I think u got my problem..

Conditionally setting drill paths in RPD

Hi All,
Have any one worked on designing a repository which provides GL information and can drill to subsequent Sub-Ledger(AR,AP,Inv,Assets,...etc) information. Based on Je_Source and Je_category in gl_je_headers user should conditional drill to sub-ledger dimension tables.
Can conditional drill paths be set in RPD level or is there any way of accomplishing this by data warehouse designing.
Can any one help me on this.
Thank you

When you are using the metadata(rpd) drill you cant do that. Unfortunately the easy way to do that is to navigate but you will end up creating more reports and if your drill down is deep then I understand it will real mess. I heard that this is also addressed in 11g but as far as i know compound layout cannot be changed in the drill downs.
I will be glad if i am wrong.
Thanks

SQL Loader choosing conventional path when direct path is requested

We have a mystery regarding SQL Loader choosing to load with conventional path even though direct path is requested.
We have a control file that produces direct-path loads and one which does not. The difference between them does not seem to account for the difference in behavior.
The following control file does not give us direct-path:
OPTIONS (
     SKIP=0,
     ERRORS=0,
     DIRECT=TRUE,
     NOLOGGING
LOAD DATA
INFILE "[file path]" "STR x'0A'"
BADFILE "[file path].bad"
DISCARDFILE "[file path].dsc"
DISCARDMAX 0
INSERT
INTO [schema name].[table name]
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'2C'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '?'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
     C1_ACD_LINE_CD     CHAR(2000),
[column specifications continue]
)When running with this control file, the log shows:
Number to load: ALL
Number to skip: 0
Errors allowed: 0
Bind array:     64 rows, maximum of 256000 bytes
Continuation:    none specified
Path used:      Conventional
Table [schema name].[table name], loaded from every logical record.
Insert option in effect for this table: INSERT
TRAILING NULLCOLS option in effectIf we use a control file that is modified as follows:
OPTIONS (
     SKIP=0,
     ERRORS=0,
     DIRECT=TRUE,
     PARALLEL=TRUE,
     NOLOGGING
     )Then we do get direct-path load:
Number to load: ALL
Number to skip: 0
Errors allowed: 0
Continuation:    none specified
Path used:      Direct
Table [schema name].[table name], loaded from every logical record.
Insert option in effect for this table: INSERT
TRAILING NULLCOLS option in effectSo there is nothing about the table (constraints, triggers, etc.) that is preventing direct-path loads.
Now, we stumbled into this PARALLEL thing by accident - we are not really trying to do parallel loads.
In my reading of the Utilities guide (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/ldr_modes.htm#autoId64 ), the PARALLEL option lets SQL Loader tolerate multiple sessions loading to the same segment at once, but does not perform parallel processing itself. So, is it possible there is some other lock on the table is causing SQL Loader to block direct-path loads to the table (because of a previous SQL Loader direct-path load, perhaps) unless the PARALLEL option is invoked? If so, how do we recognize that state and how do we resolve it?
Version information:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE     11.2.0.3.0     Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

From the same link
>
To use a direct path load (except for parallel loads), SQL*Loader must have exclusive write access to the table and exclusive read/write access to any indexes.
>
So I suspect that when using only DIRECT=TRUE, Oracle is not able to get an exclusive lock on the required objects, so it uses the conventional mode.
From a later section
>
- Segments to be loaded do not have any active transactions pending.
To check for this condition, use the Oracle Enterprise Manager command MONITOR TABLE to find the object ID for the tables you want to load. Then use the command MONITOR LOCK to see if there are any locks on the tables.

Would be interested in knowing what you find

Hierarchical columns drill path in 11g

Guys,
I am working on a simple graph with one dim attribute column, another dim hierachy column(Parent-Child Hierarchy) and few measures.
Attribute column is on slider and hierarchical colum is the BAR that makes up the measures.. so far good
Since the graph bar is made up of this parent child hierarchical column, users will drill down to children level if that bar has childer (and It works fine)
Now my question is when drilling hierarchical columns in Graphs, Is there a way to see the path of the Hiearchical column traversed??
Also once it reaches bottom, there is no way to go back in the graph (Even back space doesnt seem to work)
any ideas guys?

Hi,
You try to make the changes in the hierarchy as per required,and clear the cache then reload the rpd and then restart the services.
its just a try, and reward me if it correct.

Create/choose folder path

So far I'm able to choose a file path, but not just the folder. I use LV2010. Is there some vi I haven't found which allows you to browse to a folder instead of choosing a file?
I want the user to choose the folder to save files in the beginning of the program, and then the program will create a file with a datestamp and the read data. So the first part is missing
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I used the express VI for user dialog as a starter, and edited it a little bit. So right now it's a bit messy I know.
What I want is for that user dialog to just prompt for the folder path, and not have to choose a file.
Further, for the file name creation I use the image attached (it is part of a greater program, which is too huge to post right now).

Direct Selection Tool will not choose individual "path" anchor points

Photohsop CS4, 11.0.1
Mac OSX 10.4.11, MacPro, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz, 9GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT-256 MB VRAM, 500GB Startup HD, 500GB HD (wlhere file resides and scratch disk), OpenGL enabled
I am unable to select individual anchor points and line segments of a path, although the anchor points appear to be individually highlighted, copying them copies the entire path, not just the selected points, and deleting them deletes the entire path, not just the selected points. In effect the "hollow arrow" direct selection tool is working like the "solid arrow path selection" tool.
I ran Disk Warrior, repaired disk permissions. I deleted old preferences by renaming file with Photoshop closed, and then restarted photoshop.
After calling Adobe Tech Support, they are recommending I reinstall the entire CS4 suite, which I am hesitant to do. At the least I will lose all of my menu preferences in all programs. Should I just follow their advice and reinstall CS4?
Thanks.

When you click on it with path selection tool (black arrow) which option is enabled in options bar at top - add, subtract, intersect, or exclude?
Can you combine paths?
Have you tried drawing a new path and selecting points on it?
Can you still add and subtract points?
Edit: Can you pull on the bezier handles?
Edit: is it a vector mask or a standalone path?
I'm trying to simulate your problem – in the meantime I'm brainstorming, not sure how else to help. It seems like something restarting the program would fix.
What about quitting the app. Then going to User: Library: Prefs: Adobe Photoshop CS4 paths, trash it then restart?

Re-connecting files chooses wrong path

I had to reconnnect all my files after a complete reinstall.
And PSE organizer selected C:\Documents and Settings\<user> as root path, instead of C:\Users\<user>
Why does it do such a stupid thing, and what can i do to remap all the paths?
Search and replace? But i can not find something like that.
/Matt

The organizer has already mapped most of my files using the non-existing Documents and Settings folder.
So the damage is already done.
And I see no way to reconnnect files that has a mapping.
To cancel the mapping and browse for the folder might be useful if there's just a few files.
But for tens of thousands of files and several hundred folders ... Nope.
The organizer's missing a simple replace function. There must be lots of people that need to rearrange thier folder structure.
For example add a level with year. Change "something to "something\2012"
(Or change "documents and settings" to "user")
A "hint path" should be useful when automatically search for files.
"Start the search from MyPictures, and not from the root"
