Dimension with Parent-Child Hierarchy - not working

hi,
i tried making "Dimension with Parent-Child Hierarchy" as described in your tutorials.
i finished with the admin tool and database changes and with no errors.
when trying to create a new answer, by only puting the hierarchy column in the answer.
the result show "no result" exist.
i am not sure what i am doing wrong. maybe you can point me to the problem?
thanks

Mirit.Hi Mirit,
What is the table that you created hierarchy on?
Which column in the hierarchy you pulled into your reports to see the No Result message?
Please query the table and see if has data.
Thanks,

Script populate parent-child hierarchy not running

Hallo guys
I have problem when running script populate Parent-Child Relationship Table.
Here is the script.I don't even change the script.just run it in PL/SQL
declare
v_max_depth integer;
v_stmt varchar2(32000);
i integer;
begin
select max(level) into v_max_depth
from V_D_BRANCH
connect by prior BRANCH_KEY=PARENT_BRANCH_KEY
start with PARENT_BRANCH_KEY is null;
v_stmt := 'insert into DM_ANALYTICS.BRANCH_HIERARCHY (MEMBER_KEY, ANCESTOR_KEY, DISTANCE, IS_LEAF)
            select BRANCH_KEY as member_key, null, null, 0 from V_D_BRANCH where PARENT_BRANCH_KEY is null
            union all
            select member_key,
            replace(replace(ancestor_key,''\p'', ''|''), ''\'', ''\'') as ancestor_key,

Except function with parent child hierarchy using mdx query

HI,
I need to remove some items using mdx query in parent child hierarchy.
I tried with below query,it is not removeing ,could you please help me.
SELECT
{[Measures].[Amount]} ON
COLUMNS
NonEmpty([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01],[Measures].[Amount])
ON ROWS
FROM (SELECT
-Descendants({[Account].[Accounts].&[47]},,Leaves)
} ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works])
indu

Hi Indu,
Why do you remove some itmes using
Descendants function? Generally, we use FILTER function to achieve the requirement.
WITH SET [CustomAccounts] AS
FILTER ([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01].Members , [Account].[Accounts].CurrentMember.Name<>'Net Income')
SELECT {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON 0
[CustomAccounts] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
WITH SET [CustomAccounts] AS
FILTER ([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01].Members , [Account].[Accounts].CurrentMember.Name='Net Income')
SET [RemainingAccount] AS
[Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01]- [CustomAccounts]
SELECT {[Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount]} ON 0
[RemainingAccount] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
Results.

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)

EJB Mapping Parent child persistance not working in javax.persistance

Hi,

Container managed injections can only work in resources that are container managed. You mention RESTEasy so I assume JAX-RS - that was added to the JEE spec since JEE6, which JBoss 5.1 does not service (it is a JEE5 server). If you want this to work you likely have to upgrade to JBoss 6.x, in which case I advise you to go all the way to JBoss 7.1 which is an awesome piece of tech.
When you crosspost, do mention that you do that. Otherwise you are wasting people's time when they try to answer in one site and the answer was already given in another:

Security on Parent-Child Hierarchy

Problem Statement: In Parent Child Hierarchy say with Manager - Employee relationship, if we apply security using Siblings function in the Dimension Data Security (Allowed Member Set) then it displays children of peers at
same level as current employee.
Scenario:
Create Employee Dimension with Parent-Child hierarchy with steps below -
1) add data
===============================
(EmpKey|Name|Position| loginId| level| MgrKey)
1|Scott King|CEO|sking|level1|null
2|Rick Peters|VP|rpeters|level2|1
3|Steve Parker|VP|sparker|level2|1
4|Matt Jones|Dir|mjones|level3|2
5|Doug Blanc|Dir|dblanc|level3|2
6|Jay Lawson|Dir|jlawson|level3|3
7|Lance Roberts|Dir|lroberts|level3|3
============================
2) Create Parent-Child hierarchy on MgrKey with its Usage = Parent
2a)set ValueColumn of Login_ID attribute to EmpKey.
2b) Also set ValueColumn of MgrKey attribute to Login_ID. Rename Parent-child hierarchy to Employees
3) Create Security Role and configure Dimension data security.
In the allowed member set write the below MDX statement.
{ StrToMember( "[Employee].[Employees].&[" + CStr(StrToMember("[Employee].[Login ID].&[" + UserName( ) + "]").MEMBERVALUE) + "]"), StrToMember( "[Employee].[Employees].&["
+ CStr(StrToMember("[Employee].[Login ID].&[" + UserName( ) + "]").MEMBERVALUE) + "]").SIBLINGS }
Expected Result:
Using Siblings function - Ideally if Steve Parker connects to SSAS Cube then he should see his totals, only his subordinate totals, only his Peer's totals(not their subordinates) and his manager's totals.
Actual Result:
Due to above Dimension Security configuration, if Steve Parker connects to SSAS Cube then he will see his totals, his subordinate totals and his manager's totals. However due to Siblings function "Steve Parker" is also able to see
Rick Peters's subordinate details.
Query: Is there a way to achieve the Expected Result by restricting the children of Siblings?

Parent-child hierarchy and fragmentation content

Hello,
I've tried to build simple model with OBIEE 11 using Oracle 11r2 as a data source. BMM has fragmentation content for fact table and few dimensions with different hierarchy types. It works fine with all hierarchy types except for parent child.
When I build an answer with parent child hierarchy it terminates with error "Target data source does not support the operation".
Does OBIEE 11 not support parent child with fragmentation content? Or am I missing something?
Greetings
Marcin

I'm seeing the same issue. I've created a parent-child hierarchy along with two normal level-based hierarchies (one "normal", one skipped-level). The two level-based hierarchies work just fine in Answers. I can include them in the criteria, and data is displayed with the correct drilldowns.
If I include the parent-child hierarchy, I get the same results as noted in the original post: "The layout of this view combined with the data, selections, or drills, or prompt values chosen, resulted in no data." I'm trying to look at the table view, with no filters.
Interestingly, I can explicitly include that dimension's Parent column and Member column in the criteria, and data is displayed just fine.
Here is the XML for the set of criteria that includes the separate Parent and Member columns (the one that works):
SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2, s_3, s_4, s_5, s_6, s_7, s_8, s_9, s_10, s_11 FROM (

Parent Child Hierarchy

I am new learner for using OBIEE 11g, when I try to create the Parent_Child_Hierarchy in the repository, BI answer in the web shows the errors:

According to the help web "http://www.adivaconsulting.com/adiva-blog/item/22-obiee-11g-hierarchical-table.html", I have created the relational Parent-Child-Hierarchy table in the database that is imported into the physical layer, and finish every steps, but when I drag the hierarchy in the presentation layer into display scope, which shows the errors mentioned above.
If you known the method for solving it,please help me and share your idea, thanks!

Hi Leo,
Did you configure closure table? http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/11/oracle-bi-ee-11g-parent-child-hierarchies-multiple-modeling-methods/
Also make sure to perform the hierarchy changes in offline mode.

Parent Child Hierarchy - Display other dimension fields against parent

Hi,
I have a Dimension for Customer with a parent child hierarchy. The problem I have is with additional fields within the dimension. See data below:
Row Labels
Customer Group Description
Value
500116 - OOO "Starline"
30
   500116 - OOO "Starline"
A - Dealer
5
   818781 - OKNO
Direct / End User
10
   400464 - OKNO TV
Other
15
500123 - VIDAU SYSTEMS
300
500123 - VIDAU SYSTEMS
A - Dealer
100
400396 - VIDAU SYSTEMS
Other
200
Grand Total
330
I want the Customer Group to show "A - Dealer" for the parent of the first row (against "500116 - OOO "Starline"), but its shown blank. Also, I would like other fields to do the same. As the parent relates to a row in
my dimension table, this should be possible?
Thanks in advance,
Dominic

Hi,
Sorry it took me a while to come back to this.
My dimension has the following columns:
ID
Customer
Customer Group
Parent
1
500116
A - Dealer
NULL
2
818781
Direct / End User
1
2
400464
Other
1
My measure has 3 rows:
customerKey
value
1
5
2
10
3
15
So when this is presented in the cube, the 3 items with values are correctly presented but my problem is that the "Customer Group" doesnt show against record 1 (the parent). In usual circumstances my users will not expand the hierarchy, i
just want the associated row value shown.
Does this make more sense? I hope so, and i hope somebody can help me resolve it.
Thanks,
Dom

Filtering Parent-Child Hierarchy in SSAS Dimension

Hello,
I have a parent child hierarchy in ssas dimension. Parents level can be vary. As an example, I have 4 levels and parent may exist in level 1, level 2 or level 3.
What I need to do is filter those parents using one of the attributes in that dimension. I can't do it as normal, because once I apply a filter to parents, that will be affected to its children as well.
what normally happens
Parent1(attribute=true) - > Child 1(attribute=true) -> Child 2 (attribute=true)
Parent 2(attribute=true) -> Child 3 (attribute=true)
what I need
Parent1(attribute=true) - > Child 1 -> Child 2
Parent 2(attribute=true) -> Child 3
How can I achieve this?

Finally descendant function worked for me. I had to filter necessary properties first.
WITH SET ParentCodes AS (
Descendants(
FILTER(
[DimX].[Code].members,
[DimX].[Code Parent].currentmember.Properties("Area")
= "Northern"),,
SELF)
SELECT
{[Measures].[TotalAmount]} ON 0,
{ParentCodes } ON 1
FROM [Cube]
Hope this helps

Insert Record with Parent/Child Tables doesn't work with Oracle - unlike AC

Hi,
I just Migrated a MS Access 2010 Database to an Oracle 11g Backend with the SQL Developer Tool.
The Migration went fine, all the Tables and Views are migrated.
I'm working with MS Access as Frontend.
The application has some Datasheets with Subdatasheets with Parent/Child Relationship. (1-n Relationship)
After changing to Oracle, it's not possible, to Insert a new Record in a Subdatasheet I always get the following Error Message:
"The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find a record in the table 'xxxx' with key matching field(s) 'zzzzz'"
It used to work perfect with the MS Access Backend, do I need a trigger which first adds the child Record ?
Or what should I do?
Thank you

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for your answer. I still haven't solved my problem. The only way would be to use a singel 1:n Relationship, but in fact I need a n:m Relationship.
I tried the same scenario with a new Access Application, same result.
To clearify my problem.
Goal: Parent Form with Parent Records, Linked Child Form with Child Records in a Datasheet View => Insert of a NEW Child Record.
I have 3 Tables (table1 = Parent tabel, table2 = Child Table, table12 = n:m Tabel with PK and two FK)
The Recordsource of the Parent Form is Tabel1
The Recordsource of the Child Form is Table2 joined with Table12.
In my Old Access Project, Access Triggered the Insert and filled Table12 with the NEW PK of Table2.
It seems like Access can't do that anymore....
I'm pretty desperate and I'm sure it is just a litte thing to fix.....

Hide parents in a parent-child hierarchy with dynamic rights

Hi all,
I'm facing the following issue with dynamic rights on a parent-child hierarchy:
scenario:
- a cube with a company parent-child hierarcy
- dynamic security on through a role on dimension data based on a list with user (login names) and their
departments, with Enable
Visual Total is switched ON
- Multiple facts connected to this hierarchy.
When a user connects to the cube (in this case with Excel or through a dashboard in Performance Point services) he/she is allowed to see the facts belonging to theirs departments and all child departments, so far so good. But the totals of the facts are
repeated for all higher parents. Now i know thats nog 'wrong' but our users think thats very confusing in some cases, so is there a way
- to hide the parents in the hierarhcy
- or to set all the parent measures to null/empty?
I prefer to make a solution in the cube so that all client programs can benefit from this solution.
thanx in advance for all input!

so that User A have scope: [Dimension_Name].[Attribute XYZ] and User B: [Dimension_Name].[Attribute ABC] ?
Hi Wilfred,
If I understanding correctly, you want different user can see different dimension attributes based on the different right on role, right?
Based on my research, it seems that there is no a directly way to achieve this requirement. What we can do is that "Deselect all members" for each attribute of the dimension in Dimension Data tab, which will hide all members of the dimension for the role.
Even the dimension metadata is visible in the cube in clients, its members can't be seen. Here are some useful links for your reference.
