Dimensional hierarchy in OBIEE 11g
Hi guys,
I have are quirement to build a pivot table using a star schema.
I need to drill down from one dimensional table column to another dimensional table column.
lets say
D1, D2, D3 are the dimensions and F is the fact table.
in D1 there are columns location_name and location_id and in D3 there are columns team_id, team_name and agent_name. and fact table has location_id and team id.
my requirement is to drill down from location_name>team_name>agent_name (Dimension D1 tp Dimension D3)
i can drill down from team_name to agent_name, but the main problem is from location_name to team_name.does anyone know how to solve this issue.
your help is appreciated.
thanks,
rahul

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.
ThanksSo 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 ? -
Issue with Skip Level Hierarchy in OBIEE 11g
Hi,
I have implemented Ragged and Skip Level Hierarchy as explained in the links below in OBIEE 11g RPD.
(checked the 'Ragged' and 'Skipped Levels' check boxes)
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-support-for-ragged-skip-level-value-based-hierarchies/
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/e10540/dimensions.htm#BABFBBFG
When the Presentation Hierarchy is dragged in the OBI Answers, the leaf level beyond the skip (null) levels is not shown in the report.
When any level finds intermediate null values, OBIEE is failing to show the existing value of the leaf level (Most Granular Level) or any values after Skipped Levels.
For example, following is the values in database for different levels of department hierarchy.
A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F
The OBIEE Presentation Hierarchy can only drill down till C, not beyond that. (does not show the leaf level value 'F').
Could you please suggest whether I am missing any step?
Thanks.Hi, My problem is that in my report it is showing me that levels as -- A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F, however I want to show data as A -> B -> C -> F, i.e the null valus(columns) should be skipped. Please help.
Thanks and Regards,

Issue with Presentation Hierarchy in obiee 11g
Hi Guru's
I am using a presentation hierarchy in obiee 11 g, but it is behaving weirdly when expanding the hierarchy
for example i have a hierarchy for languages when i expand one country in the hierarchy all the countries which has similar childs are getting expanded
for Example Parent A B C D
under A i have 1, 2,3,4, under B i have 5,6,7,8 under C i have 9, 10 ,11, 12 under D i have 1, 13, 14, 15
so when i expand A in answers D is also getting expanded as i have 1 as common value in both the parents.
can some please help me how to fix this, as the user does not like this expansion
Thanks in advance,That is strange... I downloaded the files from the left hand side of this page:
[Sample Application site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html]
... the title states quiite clearly that the Sample Application (Build 825) applies to OBIEE release 11g.

Hi All,
we have a to create a hierarchy for the below type.
H1-->H2-->H3-->H5
-->H4
H1
|
H2
| |
H3 H4
|
H5
How to create this type of hierarchy..?
When we click on H1, H2 will display, when we click on H2, H3 and H4 should display, then clicking on H3 should disply H5.
Also how to restrict to either H3/H4 when we click on H2..???
Thanks.Hi,

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,

Dashboard prompt on a Dimension Hierarchy in Obiee 11g
Hi All,
I have created a hierarchy (parent-child) on a dimension 'A'. I am able to create a dashboard prompt for the dimension hierarchy. However I am not sure how to create a report that is to be filtered on this dashboard prompt. I tried using the attribute name that the hierarchy uses but that does not work. Can some one please let me know how i can filter a report by a hierarchy dimension prompt.
Thanks,
Nikita
Edited by: user12438396 on May 8, 2011 1:16 PMHi Nikita,
For your requirement, you need to go for Selection steps pane in the analysis(report). Click on steps link and then add the hierarchy column that you want to use and expand the hierarchy to the lowest level. Now select all these and all the attributes will now appear in the other side.
If you dont expand the hierarchy to the lowest level, then only the highest level values will appear in your selection at prompt.
Also make sure to check the 'override' checkbox in the bottom, this helps in filtering the values.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,

Level Based Hierarchy in OBIEE 11g
Hi,
When i am creating a simple level based heirarchy, i am getting error. My Logical table is DIM_EMPMAST and it is having two logical table
dim_empmast and
dim_dept_mast
I have created a logical heirarchy EMPLOYEES and dragged columns from DIM_EMPMAST as follows
Organization-->Emp Status --> Emp Type -->Dept.
I wanted to add one more level for Empno at the end after Dept. But when i adding that ,we are getting error in Analysis window.
[nQSError: 14070] Cannot find logical table source coverage for logical columns: [Deleted]. Please check more detailed level keys are mapped correctly.
Please advise me.
MaryI checked in physical diagram, there is proper link defined between dept_mast and empmast. Actually i have added dim_dept_mast to the logical table of dim_empmast. Means logical table of dim_empmast is having two LTS, one is Dim_empmast and Dim_dept_mast. So should i create any other joins ?

Thanks,
Satya Ranki Reddylooks like there is a way to recover the lost passwords for RPD's using listcred() method of wlst
look at the following doc http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/04/oracle-bi-ee-11g-migrating-security-credential-store-part-3/
Listing the Credential in Dev Environment:
All the Credential Keys are generally stored in an encrypted format (the passwords). So, to migrate we will need to first extract these passwords and then do the migration to Production. The passwords can be extracted through the listCred() method of WLST. We need to be connected to the Admin Server for this method to work. The exact command is given below
connect(“weblogic”,”welcome1″,”localhost:7001″)
listCred(“DevMap”,”DevKey”)
This will show the encrypted password entered inside the key as shown below
And this is what we see in the enterprise manager.
As you see, with listCred we are able to extract the full credentials. Now, lets try to see what is the default password for the BISystemUser.
listCred(“oracle.bi.system”,”system.user”)
In the same way lets extract the passwords of the SampleAppLite repository.
listCred(“oracle.bi.enterprise”,”repository.SampleAppLite”)
With this we can even extract the lost Repository passwords."
i am going to try it out now -
Display dimensional hierarchy...
Hi All,
I have Time dimensional hierarchy.i want Display Month level to Date.
Time Dimenssion haveing
Year----quater--month---week--day--- lavel
but i want display month-------week---Day
it is possible to display Useing same hierarchy
Thanks,Provide some more details.
Like which OBIEE version you are using OBIEE10 or OBIEE 11g.
Do you mean to say you want skip Quarter and drill down from Year to Month to Day. If yes, then at Year level in Hierarchy you can set preferred drill path as Month.
If you are using presentation hierarchy in OBIEE 11g. You can delete the Quarter level from the presentation hierarchy itself.

Stop a dimensional drill for a particular value of a column in obiee 11g
Hi,
I have dimensional drill been setup for Supervisor Hierarchy Table.I need to stop the dimensional drill for a particular value of the column in obiee 11g.
Example: I have two columns
1.Supervisor Level 1 Name
2.Supervisor Level 2 Name
Supervisor Level 1 Name Columns have these values.(Ram,Higher,Sam)
Supervisor Level 2 Name Columns have these values.(Ravi,Higher,Raghul).
If we pull Supervisor Level 1 Name Column in report which has a dimensional drill(It will navigate to Supervisor Level 2 Name).It will show
1.Ram
2.Higher
3.Sam
I should not drill on Higher value but the rest of the values(Sam and Ram will drill to Supervisor Level 2 Name) should be drillable.The same should happen for Supervisor Level 2 Name.
Please Suggest.
Thanks,
AzimAzim,

OBIEE 11g Unable to browse multiple value hierarchy for analysis.
Hi All,
We are using OBIEE 11g Value Hierarchy feature to display GL Segment Hierarchies.
- We have set the hierarchies to be Ragged and Skipped Levels in the RPD Business Model.
- We have dragged the hierarchies from Business Model to Presentation Layer.
- When selecting the hierarchies during Analysis, the first hierarchy that is browsed appears correctly. The next hierarchy when browsed just hangs.
For example:
Step 1: Browse Hierarchy1 (Block). The values show correctly.
Step 2: Browse Hierarchy2 (Account). The hierarchy does not open with a blinking circle remaining forever.
Alternatively;
If we selected, Hierarchy 2(Account) first, the hierarchy shows correctly, but when selecting Hierarchy1 (Block) a blinking circle appears and remains for ever without opening the hierarchy.
The nqquery.log shows correct result. My suspicion is that the issue is on the front end presentation services/javascript side.
Is there any additional setup/configuration required to open multiple value hierarchies during analysis.
Thanks and Regards,
SasiI have a pretty good guess at the hanging problem, unforntunitly i have no solutions yet.
I having same type of issue, hangs when building filters on for 2nd or 3rd dim table.. I can see obiee fireing off the query to populate the dropdown by running
select distinct on and joining to the fact table and dimensions that the users usually have selecte prior to start creatinng the filters.
It is sort of like doing a intra dimension filter.. Sounds good but if user does not cut way down on number of fact rows by the time 2nd filtered column is selected the generated query to populate the drop down can run and run.
OBI SE Once and discoverer dd not do this, at least not out of the box. -
Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g
Hi All,
I have an Issue with Implementing Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g. I understand that Filters on Hierarchy Prompts can be applied in Selection steps and cannot be viewed in the Physical Query as such. However, what happens is, the Hierarchy prompt only gets applied when the hierarchy is displayed in the report.It is not applied even when it is present in the excluded section. So, it works only when it is displayed in the report. Is this correct? Is there any workaround for this?
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Regards,
Venkatesh
Edited by: obiapps on May 30, 2012 7:42 PMIf the column set to prompt no matters what (column is present,or not, excluded or hidden) the prompt should work.
Check it again something might gone wrong.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful -
OBIEE 11G with MySql Issue Hierarchy is not working..
Hi,
i am using the OBIEE 11G with MySQL DB. i have sucessfully created the RPD. i created the Hierarchy in the RPD. this is the scerario i have created.
i have only one data column created_at. by using this column i create 3 more logical logical columns, which are Year,Month Name,Week and created Hierarchy by taking the these columns only.
when i am viewing the result by taking the hierarchy it throwing the error systax error"ou have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version".
but we selecting the year column it successfully nagvigating to the month level data but when selecting the Hierarchy directly it is unable to navigate from year to month.
please provide me the solution for this as soon as possbile i have an urgent requirement on this.
Thanks,
Yogi.Hi,
Thanks for you post..
My Requriement is that we no need to create new columns we need to necessary columns in BMM layer only and we need to use them in Hierarchy.

Parent Child Hierarchy Issue in OBIEE 11g
Hi All,
I am in OBIEE 11G v6. I have a sales fact table where the grain is one sale. So I have one row for every sale done.
Now I have a ragged employee hierarchy like this with David at the root node.
David >>Richard>>Sean
David >>James
Also, I have a role dimension which gives me what role each employee has performed on a sale. Only one employee can be associated with one sale. This is the way Roles have been asssigned
David = Manager
Richard = Off1
Sean = Off2
James = Off2
Both Sean and James can have same Roles. Now I have created a parent child hierarchy for my employee dimension and the closure table. Defined the member key, ancestor key relationship in the parent child setting etc.
Now in the report when I pull the parent child hierarchy and the sales_amount in the report, it comes out perfect with all the ragged hierarchy resolved. But the issue comes when I try to limit the report on Role = Off2. It gives me an error saying " The layout of this view combined with the data, selection , drills resulted in no data. Undo drill and view prompt values". Basically what i want is to be able to select any role type and then my hierarchy should be adjusted to show me that data. Like when I select Off2, I want to see David at the Top level and Sean and James under him because they are both Off 2 and David is their manager.
Is that possbile? Also, am I getting this error because when I select Off2 though it gets Sean and James but since David is not Off2, I don't get the data?
I hope I was able to explain the issue, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
