Creating a hierarchy to drill-in from fiscal years to fiscal months

Hi All,
TRYING TO IMPLEMENT:-
Creating a hierarchy to drill-in from fiscal years to fiscal months
METHOD THAT I FOLLOWED:- (It worked for Calendar Years)
I have a table fiscal years which has the columns
fiscal_year,fiscal_months.....
I have created a Logical Table"Time" which has the columns fiscal_year,months
I am trying to create a hierarchy(Time Dimension) so that I will be able to drill-in from the fiscal years to fiscal months.
While checking the global consistency , it throws me the following error:-
ERRORS:
BUSINESS MODEL LEDGER_PROD:
[nQSError: 15001] Could not load navigation space for subject area LEDGER_PROD.
[nQSError: 15019] Table TIME is functionally dependent upon level FY, but a more detailed child level has associated columns from that same table or a more detailed table.
Could anyone please assist me in resolving this issue or implementing this hierarchy would be really helpful!
Thanks,

Check your PK of the dimension table. Also check the dimensional keys.
Also, I'm not sure if you're doing a separate hierarchy, or combined one with calendar year. If you're making a combined one, make sure that the child level is the same (usually Calendar Day or raw time key ).

SSRS Matrix report. Variance expression by Month. Need to compare month from prior year to current month of current year VS2010

Please help. I have a matrix report. In the report I have row group PO Type. One the Column groups I have a parent group by Fiscal Year, and then a child group by Month. When I run the report, I get two years of data back broken
out by month. Please see below.
Now here is where I am getting stuck. I need to take the variance between the current month of the current year, from the same month of the prior year. So I need to show the difference between Oct , 2014 from Oct, 2013. November, 2014 from November
2013... etc. etc.
In the example below, how do I create a column or row showing the variance for Contracts for October 2014. I need to take the contracts for October 2014 which is 3 and subtract that from October 2013 which is 8. Any suggestions? How do I do that
for each month? Then I need to do it for the quarter... then the year? But I'll be happy if I can just get the month working first.
Any help will be appreciated.
here is what my rdl file looks like.
Here is what my report looks like when I render it.

Hi Adrian_s2012,
According to your description, you want to compare values for the month of current year with the month of prior year and get the variance. Right?
In Reporting Services, we don't have any function to get this "Year to Year" Growth. In this scenario, if you data source is a cube, we suggest you use Analysis Services to achieve your requirement. If this data source is just from database, it will be hardly
to calculate the variance because we need to compare the values within every two different column group and matrix generate adjacent columns one by one. Even we make it by using custom, every time executing the long code when generating result
in a cell will reduce a lot of performance, we really don't suggest to do that in SSRS. Here is a thread with much easier requirement, please take a reference of that:

How to create an Hierarchy from 2 tables in Essbase

Hi,
Currently We have 5 dimension tables and one fact table in Star Schema Model.We have requirement to create an hierarchy which pulls from multiple tables
For Eg:
Table:1 P1 P2
Table:2 Q1 Q2
Expected Hierarchy :
P1
Q1
While we try to implement it shows inconsistent results.Can some one let me know the alterante solution to fulfill this requirement.
Thanks,
SatyaB

Your JOIN doesn't work?
You'd have to post what the tables look like, what you're joining on, etc., etc. You aren't supplying enough information.
I am (to put it kindly) a SQL hack. I have found that if I go to a company's dba with my childlike SQL and ask, "Can you improve this?" almost 100% of the time they take pity on me and improve my code to no end. I know that's not what a dba is really for, but they tend to like well formed SQL touching their databases. Failing that, is there someone at your firm that is good with SQL who can help? You're on an Essbase board, not a SQL board, so you are likely not going to get the help you need here.

Cannot drill down from 2nd lowest level to lowest level of hierarchy

In my item master hierarchy, I cannot drill down from the 2nd lowest level (Product Class) to the lowest level (Item Detail).
When I add another level between these 2 levels, then I can drill down from Product Class to this new level, but I cannot drill down from this new level to the lowest level.
Also, if I set the preferred drill path at any level to drill down to the lowest level, it instead drills down to next level down intead of of drilling to the lowest level.
Any thoughts as to why I would not be able to drill to the lowest level of this hierarchy?
Thanks,
Travis

OK, next check, any security in place on the presentation columns which would make the lowest level column unavailable to the user account?
Are you running the report as Administrator?

Create a Hierarchy

I am having a sql which has invoice date and has a index on it. I need to put parameter on this column but the user wants to enter only period name.
So if you create a hierarchy on this date column I know that performance will be really bad.
I read that if we create a dimension table and attach this to that the performance retains. Can any body explain how to create dimension folder and create a hierarchy on that, how to attach that to complex folder and make a parameter on that.
thanks in advance.
thanks

Hi Kiran
I have been waiting to answer this one so that I have some time to devote to the answer, not because I don't know what to do but because the answer will be time consuming.
Basically, the steps involved are:
1. Determine what your fiscal periods are
2. Determine what time components you want to report on
3. Build a table that would store those components
4. Populate the table using a script to fill in the appropriate fiscal components
5. Build a primary key on the date or some other user-defined unique key
6. Build a series of non-unique keys on the components required within your hierarchies - typically fiscal month, fiscal quarter and fiscal year
7. Import this table into Discoverer as your master time folder
8. Create lists of values on all of the indexed items
9. Copy the folder, using CTRL-C, once per transaction date, and paste it using CTRL-V into the appropriate business area
10. Move the new folder up under its designated transaction folder
11. Rename the folder and the items within it to reflect the date that it is going to manage - E.g. for a ship date the folder could be called SO Ship Date, with the main items being called Ship Date, Fiscal Shipped Month, Fiscal Shipped Quarter and Fiscal Shipped Year
12. Create a Discoverer hierarchy on Ship Date, Fiscal Shipped Month, Fiscal Shipped Quarter and Fiscal Shipped Year and name it Ship Date Hierarchy
13. Build a 1:N join from the calendar date in the copied folder to the transaction date - you probably also want the date in the underlying transaction table to be indexed for maximum performance
14. Hide the date in the transaction folder
Ok, now that the basic workflow has been outlined let's talk about some of the steps. Step 1 asks you to determine your fiscal periods. What this means is that you need to know the start and end date for your organization's fiscal year, and all of the fiscal periods in between.
If you are using Oracle E-Business Suite you can use the GL_PERIODS table to get this information. This table stores information about the accounting periods you define using the Accounting Calendar form in Apps. In other words, GL_PERIODS is the Apps table that contains your organization’s fiscal calendar. However, because you can have recursive joins between the elements of this table, report performance can be seriously impacted. Each row includes the start date and end date of the period, the period type, the fiscal year, the period number, and other information. There is also a one–to–many relationship between a row in the GL_PERIOD_SETS table and rows GL_PERIODS.
You can now write a simple script that will pull out the fiscal period information. Then, after you are certain that your algorithms are working, you should create a materialized view of your GL_PERIODS date hierarchy. After you have created the materialized view, you should place a unique index on the calendar date, with non-unique indexes on the months, quarters, and years. After you do this, inside your view you can now join your transaction date to the date in the materialized view and read off the hierarchy.
Most DBAs are rightly concerned about adding materialized views to E-Business Suite. In this case, because GL_PERIODS is only updated only once a year, you have a perfect candidate for a materialized view. You just need to make sure that you refresh the materialized view after you add the dates for the next year.
Now, GL_PERIODS only has information concerning fiscal periods, or months. You have to get the individual dates in there as well. Once again, if you are using Apps and you are using BOM (Bills of Material) you may well be using a table called BOM_CALENDAR_DATES. This table contains one row per date within your year. In order to join this table to GL_PERIODS you need to be able to determine which fiscal period a certain date falls in to. Having worked that one out you now join to the previous script adding a clause such as DATE >= GL.PERIODS.START_DATE and DATE <= GL_PERIODS.END_DATE where the PERIOD_TYPE is 'Month'.
Here is a script that might give you the basics:
SELECT DISTINCT
gl_mth.period_name month,
gl_mth.period_set_name set_name,
gl_mth.start_date mth_start_date,
gl_mth.end_date mth_end_date,
gl_mth.period_num mth_number,
gl_mth.last_update_date mth_last_update_date,
(gl_mth.end_date -
gl_mth.start_date) +1 mth_timespan,
gl_qtr.period_name quarter,
gl_qtr.start_date qtr_start_date,
gl_qtr.end_date qtr_end_date,
gl_qtr.quarter_num qtr_number,
gl_qtr.last_update_date qtr_last_update_date,
(gl_qtr.end_date -
gl_qtr.start_date) + 1 qtr_timespan,
gl_yr.period_name year,
gl_yr.start_date yr_start_date,
gl_yr.end_date yr_end_date,
(gl_yr.end_date -
gl_yr.start_date) + 1 yr_timespan,
gl_yr.last_update_date yr_last_update_date,
gl_yr.period_year period_year,
gl_qtr.entered_period_name actual_qtr
FROM
apps.gl_periods gl_mth,
apps.gl_periods gl_qtr,
apps.gl_periods gl_yr
WHERE
gl_mth.PERIOD_SET_NAME = 'your data set name'
AND gl_mth.period_type = 'Month'
AND gl_mth.start_date >= '01-OCT-1998'
AND gl_qtr.quarter_num = gl_mth.quarter_num
AND gl_qtr.period_year = gl_mth.period_year
AND gl_qtr.period_type = 'Quarter'
AND gl_yr.period_year = gl_mth.period_year
AND gl_yr.period_type = 'Year';
Does this help understand the logic behind creating fiscal date folder?

How to drill through from Essbase to Oracle in BIEE?

How to drill through from Essbase to Oracle in BIEE?
Edited by: Aaron Zhong Zhenhua on Oct 21, 2008 11:19 AM

Physical layer:
- Create a complex join between the Essbase generation and your detail table. E.g.: Gen6,Market = ATTRIBS.CNTRY
BMM layer:
- Go to the logical table "Market" (for example) and drag the ATTRIBS.CNTRY column on to the Gen6,Market column.
- Now pull over the other attributes from your Oracle table into the Market logical table...this will result in a second LTS within the sources.
- Drag and drop the logical columns you just got from Oracle on the lowest level of the Market dimension hierarchy. In this example, onto Gen6,Market.
- Alternatively, create levels below Gen6.
- Make sure your LTS have the correct content levels set
Presentation layer:
- Pull your chagnes through to your presentation catalog(s).
Should be all.

Drill-Down from several Charts to Same Target

Hi,
we have built a dashboard with 3 (soon to be 6) column charts and one line chart below. The colum charts represent 6 KPIs aggregated for a year for different warehouses. Each warehouse is a specific series (because we want them to have a individual colors). When the user clicks on a warehouse in one of the column charts, we want the line chart above to show the
For this purpose, we have all column charts store drill-down values to the same two cells:
- One cell stores the series name (warehouse selected)
- One cell stores the name of the clicked line chart (we use a single cell with the chart name as source for the first series of each chart. After the first series is selected as the default drill-down, this source and destination seems to be used for every series selected, which might be a bug)
Our problem is, all queries for the charts are loaded at startup. The default drill-downs for all charts are done, and we have a random chart in the drill-down destination. If the user clicks the same chart again, we do not notice this as the value of our target cell does not change. We have tried several solutions for this, but nothing is really satisfactory.
Does any of you have an idea, or a similar dashboard maybe, where the drill-down of several charts (preferably with several series per chart) is stored into a single target chart?
Thanks & Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
You cannot have drill downs from different charts to the same target.
As per your scenario you have 3 column charts with warehouses displaying their respective 3 KPI's values. I believe you would have created a series each for available warehouses. If you have selected drill down on load for all the column charts with one single target then at load all the three column charts will try to place the destination of their selected series(based on warehouse selected) to the same target.
And also as you mentioned when the user tries to select the same chart again the target doesn't change, the reason is the same as all the charts are trying to put the destination of the series in the same cell.
Instead of doing it this way, what you could do is to name the series of all column charts the same and have the series name put into one cell. Then based on this series name you can lookup the data for that warehouse and display it in the line chart.
Here again the user has to select the same warehouse in all the three column charts else it wont work.
Hope this was useful =]
Thanks & Regards

Creating a hierarchy based on a remote database link

I am trying to create a hierarchy based on a synonym for a remote database table. The hierarchy wizard works correctly, and the table columns do appear as choices in the drop boxes. However, when I try to run the application, I get the error "No data found. This data does not exist or you do not have privileges to view it". Does anyone know how to resolve this error? Or how to work around this?
I can successfully create and query a form based on the remote table. And, I am able to create a hierarchy from other tables (which do not use a database link) without a problem.
Thanks for your help!

This is the query which I am using to build a report
SELECT
rollup_timestamp "Date",
max(decode(target_guid,'199F0B201A3D71A63040BADFAA4F9E90',average,0)) host1,
max(decode(target_guid,'3FB1329F59339C07E11304B69DC4E594',average,0)) host2
FROM "sysman.MGMT$METRIC_DAILY"
WHERE

or
target_guid='3FB1329F59339C07E11304B69DC4E594')
AND

metric_column='memUsedPct'
AND
rollup_timestamp >= to_date('01-10-2009','dd-mm-yyyy') and rollup_timestamp <= sysdate
GROUP BY rollup_timestamp
ORDER BY "Date"
And for your previous question I couldn't even create a page.

Creating a Hierarchy Viewer query

Hello,
I'm having huge difficulties creating a Hierarchy Viewer Query. I've looked through the source code contained withing the demo, but it seems to require great knowledge regarding the component. I'm using a three-node model, each node grouped within it's parent.
So I created a custom View to be used as a result list for the query and this part is working just fine. I can pick the unique ID for the node I want from the search results when the user selects one, but I don't know how I can make that specific node my "anchor", my "current node", after that.
Since I'm looking for a specific "contact_id" selected from the search results, I think the correct way of doing it is finding it's node on the TreeModel, and then setting it as my current anchor.
Please, any tips, directions or suggestions on how can I go about doing this?
Thanks!!

Hi!
Thanks for the attention, but I've been through all the basic stuff. The HV documentation only teaches the most primitive part of it. I searched all blogs related to HV, all articles I could find, I've meddled with the demo source code and all I can think of, but I couldn't find anyone who would give much insight on the mechanics of the component or how to build a really powerful search engine for it.
As a sugestion for the developer team, it would be great if the query for this component allowed us to specify actions to be performed on all levels of the tree, instead of only the root node, since most of the time people use HV as a multi-root tree.

Create different hierarchy based on Dimension values

I have a dimension called period. This dimension is having 4 different types of periods. The period table looks as below. I need to create 4 different hierarchies for these 4 types of periods based on l1 to l5 values. But all these values are in the same
table. Is it possible in SSAS? If so please let me know how can I do it.

If i understand it correctly, you want one hierarchy for one row, then you need to flat the table in the view and then you can create those hierarchy. But it is no different from having one hierarchy with the table you have. your hierarchy is going to look
like "Priod5" <- "Priod4" <- "Priod3" <- "Priod2" <- "Priod1". this hierarchy will have all the values. Don't forget to use the composite key for each attribute except key attribute.
hope this is helpful.

Time characteristic hierarchy in drill down report

Hello Experts,
I try to modify the standard drilldown report in CJE2 - 001/12KST1C. It contains selection characteristic Period/year. Is it possible to add hierarchy to this characteristic? Ie. I want to be able to select year and drill down to period, simlilar like with WBS elements in the project. Currently it is possible to select one period but not the whole year.
Regards
Jiri

To bring the WBS elements drill down,include object type in the chracteristics of the report.
Regarding the year, I am not sure of bringing it in charaterisctics of report.But you can do awork around by including From period/year and To period/Year as characterictics in the form of that report and making it as entry in the initial screen.By this way you can get each year's report, only thing is you have to exit the report screen for different years.

Create product hierarchy & category in CRM

Hello experts,
I need to write a program that create product hierarchy & category in CRM 5 from flat file.
As anyone know how to do it?
I couldn't find any bapi, and when i tried to debug the program that transfer this data between R3 to CRM i got to dead end.
I realy dont know how to attack this...
regards,
Ronen.

USE LSMW. Even i am working on a similar thing though i need to create products in CRM from excel file. Category and hierarchy ar supplied to me. Actually there are a couple of options.
Basically do research in SE37 with search term COMCATEGORYCREATE*    and similarly for COMCATEGORYsav*   for category and for hierarchy replace category with 'hier' . You can then shortlist which FM is good for you and try to construct structure in your program that u can pass to the FM to get desired output.
Thing to remember is that you first create   and then do save.

Dimension Hierarchy - preferred drill down in 11.1.1.5

Hi
I am using the preferred drill down to navigate from one dim hierarchy, to another hierarchy but, it works for some time, then it fails to some.
here is the clear explanation:
dim h1 = region -- > area--->shop number->id1
dim h2= room number ->id2
dim h3= m/c number --> m/c id3
i am trying to build drill down to region - >area-> shop number - > room number - > m/c number
for this i added the preferred drill path from id1 --> room total
and then i added the preferred drill path from id2 --> m/c number
this works for some of them and not for all.
why is this behaviour? does any one face this problem at all...or is that just me...
Please help, little urgent...
Thanks in advance.

Its working...all times....
we dont have data related to that....so it got failed....
Cheers,
Mani.
