Combines Hierarchy

Hi All,
I have recuirement to change the hierarchy vakue at run time to match it with the other source system. We currently load cost center hierarchy from two source system and combine them now I need to change the cost center element value at extraction time based on my other system hierarchy.
I know we can use user exit to change the hierarchy content but I am not sure if thats the process to do it or is that a valid thing to do?

If you rewrite the cube in Tabular, usually it's better using a different approach in calculation. By its nature, DAX always performs leaf-level calculations. If you need to change calculations at different hierarchical levels, you should consider doing
that in measures by using iterations. For example, if I have to compute the average at monthly level, and I have to sum the data at the month level, I'll write something like:
AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( 'Date'[YearMonth] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Amount] ) ) )
If you just try to translate MDX in DAX, you might create more complex calculations that are useless because no longer get any advantage by the hierarchical nature of cache system you have in Multidimensional.

  • SAP BW Query Combine/ Hierarchy

    Hi All,
    I do have a umbrella/Combine hierarchy and I want users to be able to select sub node text node and not the main node.
    Hierarchy design below
         --c
    H--
         --b
    How do I get users to see and select the sub node and not the main node in a report. I have created variable however I can see sub node.
    Have anyone come accross this issue before
    Regards Jon

    If I understand you correctly, you want to restricted the user so that the user can only see some sub-nodes and not all nodes.
    You may maintain proper authorization for the user and give the user only these nodes which you want him to see.
    For BW7.x, you use analysis authorization. The Tcd is RSECADMIN.

    Hi Mikhail, this behaivour is normal. Because the hierarchy is built in the universe on the original dimension. Merged dimensions only exist in the webi scope.

    Does the SAP BW 3.0 Administrator Workbench support SAP Web & SAP Java GUI?
    SAP BW 3.0 is not actively supporting Web & Java GUI or investing into making the SAP NetWeaver BI Administrator Workbench run 100% on Web & Java GUI. However, general Backend (Basis/WAS) and Adminstrator Workbench functionality is working via these GUIs. Customers may use Web & Java GUI if the amount of functionality that works meets their requirements.
    The following restrictions for the Admin Workbench are known today : Process Chains, InfoSet maintenance and Dataflow diagram.
    There are also general basis restrictions concerning these GUIs, e.g. Drag & Drop is not supported by the Web GUI. Basis notes dealing with this topic are e.g. notes 314568 & 419297.

    How can SAP NetWeaver BI and MS Analysis Services be integrated?
    SAP supports 4 ways of integrating MS Analysis Services cubes into SAP NetWeaver BI:
    MS Analysis Services as data source
    MS Analysis Services can provide cube data as a flat file which can be uploaded into SAP NetWeaver BI.
    MS Analysis Services as a remote InfoProvider
    It is possible to define an external MS Analysis Services cube as a remote InfoProvider which accesses the data from the cubes in MS Analysis Services at query runtime. Customers can implement this currently in a pilot project which you can apply for with BI Product Management.
    MS Analysis Services and SAP NetWeaver BI Open Hub Service
    SAP NetWeaver BI InfoCubes can be extracted through the Open Hub Service to a file or DB table on MS SQL Server. MS Analysis Services can pick the data and store it in cubes.
    MOLAP Bridge
    SAP NetWeaver BI uses the MS Analysis Services MOLAP capabilities as a sort of DB feature to improve performance for specific scenarios. Using aggregates on a MS SQL Server database/MS Analysis Services, they can be defined either as ROLAP or MOLAP (cube in MS Analysis Services). This MS Analysis Services integration is completely transparent; the SAP NetWeaver BI frontend interface looks exactly like in the ROLAP case. The InfoCube itself is still stored in a relational table in MS SQL Server; the aggregates are stored as cubes in MS Analysis Services.
    These cubes cannot be accessed directly by any 3rd party tool; you have to use the interfaces of the SAP NetWeaver BI OLAP processor.
    Hope this helps

  • Crosstab Data Loss

    Hello All
    I need help with  a Crystal Reports 2008 crosstab linked to BW. The problem is as follows:
    When reporting data on two Hierarchies within a Cross Tab I get correct result as follows:
    _______________Region 1  Region 2 Region 3 Region 4
    Article Group 1.....       100......         2000.....       300.......        400
    Article Group 2.....       6000.....       200.....        3000.......       500
    When adding a third Hierarchy to the cross tab I lose data for Region 3 and 4.
    __________________________Region 1  Region 2
    Article Group 1   Department1.....     50.....         1000       
    .................            ..         .       Department2.....     50.....         1000
    Article Group 2   Department3.....   3000.....        100       
        .................... ..                       Department4.....   3000.....        100
    Please note that Regions, Article Group  are grouped by specified order.
    This seems like I have hit a data limit on which the Cross Tab can report upon. Can anyone suggest how I could fix this ?
    Thanks

  • Use of action links in combination with hierarchy object in analysis

    Hi All,
    From OBI 11g release hierarchy objects are available in the presentation layer of OBI. We make often use of these hierarchy objects. We also make use of action links to drill down to a analysis with more detailed information. This more detailed analysis should inherit the values of the higher-level analysis. In combination with the hierarchy objects this can give problems.
    An example:
    Let's say we have the following atttributes:
    Hierarchy object date (year, quarter, month), a product column and # of units shipped measure. On the column # of units shipped we have defined an action link to a more detailed analysis.
    Now, let's say the user clicks on the year 2011 in the hierarchy object. The quarters for 2011 are shown. The 'normal' product column attributes contains 'Product A'. The user makes use of the action link that is available by clicking on the measure value of # of units shipped. He clicks on the value that is based on quarter 2 of 2011 and 'Product A'. The detailed analysis is set to filter the analysis on the product and date dimension. In this example the analysis is filtered on 'Product A' but not on the value Quarter 2, 2011. Hierarchy object values are not passed through on clicking on a action link.
    Is there any workaround for this issue? We want to make use of the hierarchy object but users expect to also pass the hierarchy object value to the underlying detailed analysis

    I am facing the same issue...
    First check it out:
    http://prasadmadhasi.com/2011/12/15/hierarchicalnavigationinobiee11g/
    http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/10/oracle-bi-ee-11g-navigation-passing-parameters-using-hierarchical-columns/
    I solved it by using Go URL link. I pass value of hierarchy level (whichever level it is). For Year it is 2012, month: 2012-03.
    Now ugly part: in url I pass 2 parameters that refers to the same value : "Time"."Year"="2012", "Time"."Month"="2012"
    In target report I apply filter: "Time"."Year" "Is Prompted" OR "Time"."Month" "Is Prompted"
    This way in target report only one of filters will work : depending from which level you navigated from source report.
    If you decide use this approach be carefoul with URL syntax, remember about double quotes etc. In my case it was:
    Parameter : value
    PortalGo : [LEAVE EMPTY]
    path : %2Fusers%2Fweblogic%2FMIS%20EVAL%2FT_Target
    options : dr
    Action : Navigate
    col1 : "Time"."Year"
    val1 : [SELECT TIME HIERARCHY COLUMN]
    col2 : "Time"."Month"
    val2 : [SELECT TIME HIERARCHY COLUMN]
    Remember to:
    Remove “=” after PortalGo
    Surround value attribute with double quotes - e.g. @val1=”@{6}”
    After you "adjust" your URL text manually (unfortunatelly it won't be done automatically) it should look like:
    http://10.10.10.100:7001/analytics/saw.dll?PortalGo@{1}&path=@{2}&options=@{3}&Action=@{4}&col1=@{5}&val1=”@{6}”&col2=@{7}&val2=”@{8}”

  • Code combination based hierarchy

    Hi,
    I am wanting to overlay a code combination based alternative reporting hierarchy in Finance against budgets, balances and journals.
    The nature of the overlay is that the first contact is from code combination id (all of the used segments in the chart of accounts) to a parent code / description. Each parent code then has a level number and may have a parent of its own, only linked to the original gl codes through the total chain of parents.
    From initial analysis I do not think this is possible using standard functionality - but if anyone thinks overwise - let me know!
    My question is, is there a document that I can utilise to perform the analysis on how this could be linked into the existing physical table structure? (i.e. I need to understand the current PK -> FK links in the physical layer to scope the extent of the work)
    thanks,
    Robert.

    Hi,
    my requirement is that the hierarchy is multi-leveland joined on all of the six live accounting segments.
    So; -
    Level 1 - 101.10222.8554.0444.000.00000 (accounting segments) joins to; AAAAA - My analysis code level 1
    Level 2 - AAAAA (parent) joins to BBBBB - My analysis code level 2
    Note it is the total combination of all the segments which is the requirement, so just because the first segment is 101, this does not mean that all entries with first segment 101 will be this parent, only when in combination with the rest of the segments exactly as above (so one code combination id effectively)
    regards,
    Robert.

  • Combine presentation hierarchy and display hierarchy

    Hi,
    We have a query with GL account and cost center in the rows.  We have a custom-built hierarchy on GL account and next to that we want to display our rows as a display hierarchy.  So far so good.
    But next we would like to show our GL account hierarchy upside down, meaning with the lower-level nodes above.  This setting however is not working in combination with the display hierarchy.  I guess the solution would be to also mark the display hierarchy as being "upside down", however as far as I know this is not possible.
    Anybody has a solution for this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    1: To add a new char, add the info object as external chars in the Info object maitainance scree --> hierarchy tab. Then go to create hierarcy option. Now it will add you to insert the info object as a node.
    2: Here you are mixing the Units in calculation.So you are getting the error as defined in TCODE RSCUSTV4. So as others given the idea, you can use the Data Function in a Formula (NO Dim).

  • Combining 3 descriptions in a hierarchy as one description for a Row

    Hello Expert,
    If a hierarchy has levels 1, 2,3,4 with descriptions
    Level 1 --- Brands
    Level 2 --- Colors
    Level 3 --- Flavors
    In BEx, I showed row as Brands and users can drill down on this hierarchy to see the volume and then drill further down to see the Flavor.
    Our users are looking for a way to see in the row “Brand Colors Flavors” as a single description without drilling down before seeing colors and brand.
    I am thinking of a way to concatenate 3 different nodes in a hierarchy as a single description for row.
    Any help on this will be appreciated

    This might sound far-fetched but try this out....
    U can write a texts extractor (generic extractor using function module) that reads the leaf nodes in the from the hierarchy tables. (/BIC/H<infoobject>) This leaf node will give u a concatenated master data entry.
    Now, using this concatenated entry, u will need to search for the individual descriptions in their text tables (/BIC/T<infoobject>)... and this would be returned as the new description.
    Problem is, you would probably have to create a copy of the base infoobject (flavours) to store the new description and use this wherever u want the concatenated descriptions...
    dunno whether i made sense there,

  • Possible to combine Value and Hierarchy Authorizations?

    Hello Experts!
    Could anyone please tell me something about the interaction between value and hierarchy authorizations for the same info object?
    I created an authorization for an info object which makes use of both in some queries. But if you activate a hierarchy in query designer, the value authorizations seem not to work anymore. Instead the hierarchy authorizations restrict the analysis result. I get datasets in the result without having the corresponding value authorizations.
    Is there a way to ONLY use value authorizations which also work if you activate a hierarchy on an info object???
    Thanks in advance.....
    Bye,

    No you can't. GRE is only designed to carry routing protocols and multicast traffic over VPNs.
    It is also bad design practise to design a network that carry's L2 vlan's over a WAN or internet link.
    You have to ask yourself why you would want to carry VLANs over VPNs?
    Hope this helps.

  • MDX Query to combine different hierarchy levels

    I have a cube that contains a dimension called "FirmBranch" that contains "Branch Name" as the leaf level attribute. It also contains an attribute called "Market" which is the market a branch rolls up to. My measures are "Firm"
    (the value for the host firm's branch at the lowest level), "OtherFirm" (the value for all other firms excluding the host firm - think of this as the host firm's peers), and "AllFirm" (Firm and OtherFirm combined). If I have a particular
    host firm on the slicer (which is another dimension called "SubjectFirm" related to "FirmBranch" via a many-to-many bridge table), Branch Name as part of the rows and I put Firm and OtherFirm as columns I always get
    NULL for OtherFirm. When I'm looking at the lowest level a branch either belongs to the host firm or it belongs to one of the "other" peer firms. Since I have the host firm on the slicer all of the branches belong to this firm so it does not display
    anything for OtherFirm.
    My question is - how can I get the higher level "OtherFirm" totaled at the Market level to display alongside the Firm value when looking at it at the Branch level?

    sorry, try switching the calculated measure
    ([Customer].[Customer].[All],[Measures].[Internet
    Sales Amount])

  • BI IP-Characteristic Relationship- invalid combinations are shown

    Dear all,
    we need to create a query ready for input but we need to avoid that the invalid combinations of two characteristic on wors are shown.
    In fact the system presents the inconsistent combination as not editable.
    Could you please suggest how to avoid this?
    Many thanks in advance for help!

    Hi
    the link is ueseful, but I try to explane what we really need.
    We have in the level two chars (ZC1 and ZC2; ZC2 is attribute of ZC1) and here you can see the values
    ZC1               ZC2 
    PREVAI     AI    
    GUASAI     AI    
    PREVBT     BT   
    GUASBT     BT   
    The requiremet is that the user can plan by ZC1 and ZC2, but that he has a total row by ZC2 (not editable).
    That's why I defined a structure on the rows with restrictions for ZC1 and ZC2, according to the master data relationship, and put the structure on the rows.
    I defined a hierarchy for ZC1 where nodes are values of char ZC2 and I set this in the characteristic relationship for the provider. here is the hierarchy.
    AI
        PREVAI
        GUASAI
    BT
        PREVBT
        GUASBT
    The result is that in the best option I see in the query invalid combinations such as BT PREVAI.
    Any suggestion?

    Yes, with the BICS connection,  you are getting a native hierarchy, as it would be displayed in an OLAP environment.
