Drilldown in answers without creating dimensional hierarchy in BMM layer?

Hello All,
HELP! I have a main report like this:
title: Region EAST (prompted field- user entered: North, South.... )
heading: Departments Total Sales
rows: Meat (01) 500,000.00
Produce (02) 100,000.00
Organic Items(03) 250,000.00
Users wanted to ClLICK on either Meat, Produce or Organic Items field to get the detailed report on that particular dept. and would prefer to Click on the desired field than using department as a prompted field. :(
I did try to use the navigate function on Departments column to get to the detail report, but the results came back with ALL departments. Is it possible to drill down in answers without creating the dimensional hierarchy in BMM layer? If so, please show me how to create the link that would navigate to the detailed report when users CLICK on desired department, ex: Meat (01)? BTW, detailed report may came from different resources (data is in the detailed table...) and I still need to pass the region variable to the detailed report.
I really need a big help on this.
Thanks All in advance!

Hi Matt,
thank you for looking into this problem.
I did use the Navigate function on the 1st report, create a prompted filter on the depatment column (second report) but user can only click on the high lighted Department column header (on the first report) which navigated to the 2nd report and it displayed detail of all departments. Since users cannot click on a particular deptpartment, therefore I cannot pick up the value (01) for Meat department to pass thru the 2nd report. Is the Navigate function just works only when you click on the header column not on the data values in that column? do I need to set any other function to the department column on the 2nd report beside the filter?
thanks for your help!

  • Problem creating hierarchy in BMM layer

    Hi,
    We are trying to create hierarchy for one of the dimension which contains 10 LTSs, each LTS represents Bridge-->Dimension join in physical layer. So, each LTS contains inner join between Bridge and Dimension tables.
    We performed the following.
    Right click on Dimension and select Create logical dimension--> Dimension with Level-Based hierarchy.
    The error is "Admintool is unable to create the structure for the dimension <<Dim name>> "
    Can anybody help..
    Thanks,
    Anilesh

    Hi,
    Here we have created 10 LTSs for supporting 10 bridge tables. We are joining same dimension table with multiple bridge tables in physical layer. And each bridge is joined with corresponding fact table. when id comes to BMM layer, we created single dimension which contain LTSs for each bridge table, and we joined the dimension to fact.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to create logical dimension in bmm layer

    Hi all,
    I am not able to create a logical dimension hierarchy in the bmm layer of the rpd.
    when I right click on the table I am not able to find the create logical dimension option in the popup window.
    could you please help me out in this?
    In the logical table we have data from sql statement also.
    Thanks!

    Create Dimensions is only available if the selected logical table is a dimension table (defined by 1:N logical joins) and no dimension has been associated with this table.
    To create a dimension automatically, the Administration Tool examines the logical
    table sources and the column mappings in those sources and uses the joins between physical tables
    in the logical table sources to determine logical levels and level keys.
    Hope you have defined the Logical join in BMM before looking for this option. If joins are not defined, this option won't come.
    Refer http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31770.pdf

  • Creating one dimensional hierarchy using columns from 2 different dimension

    Hello guys
    I have a case here.. The way our business is set up is that we have one dim table called channel dim, and another one call customers. Customer ID should be the child of channel ID. In other words, the measures at each Customer ID level should rollup to its parent channel ID level..
    So I am creating a hierarchy in my BMM which is named channel sales Dim:
    channel sales Dim--
    -- Grand Total Level
    -- Channel parent
    channel ID (Key)
    --Customer Details
    Customer ID(Key)
    Account (Sum)
    Both channel_ID and Customer_ID are the primary keys of Channel Dim and Customer Dim, both dim are joined to the sales fact table..
    So the hierarchy is created in such way, however when I check consistency it is giving me errors: nqserror15003: missing most detailed table for dimension table (Channel_Dim, Customer_Dim)
    Any advice of how to deal with this error?
    Much thanks

    Hi,
    Yes the fact table has the keys to the date and customer dimension. Is there any other column or information needed to create the constraint prompt?
    Thanks.

  • Is Dimensional Hierarchy always created for a Dimension?

    Hi! In my data model there are dimensions but, they do not follow any hierarchy i.e. everything is at the same level. In such a case do I still need to define hierarchy? I know that a Dimensional Hierarchy will have at least two levels, Grand Total and Detail, what happens when everything is at Detail Level?

    there is no need to define any level based measures as everything will be at the primitive level.
    It is just like having no hierarchy defined, but only at grand total you can associate measures from multiple fact tables & get grand totals.
    let me know if that resolved your doubt!!

  • Number of elements - Dimensional Hierarchy

    Hi,
    In a *'Dimensional Hierarchy'*, while creating a new *'Parent level'*, a 'Logical Level' dialogue box prompts for entering *'Number of elements at this Level'*+. What is its significance ?
    What is achieved by+ *'Number of elements at this Level'* +?+
    Thanks in Advance & Regards,
    Deeba

    Hi deeba,
    Its not mandatory to specify the number of elements in hierarchy....if you wont mention also by default it takes the value of 1.....Above vino gave you the link for explanation.
    Hope it helps you...Award points and close the thread.

  • 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
    (target_guid='199F0B201A3D71A63040BADFAA4F9E90'
    or

    AND
    metric_name='Load'
    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 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 ).

  • Dimensional Hierarchy - Organizational unit

    Hi all,
    I have the following queries related to Dimensional hierarchy.
    1. Why we associate logical columns in the dimensional hierarchy?
    2. For a particular organization unit there is no dimensional hierarchy, i mean data is at detailed level..
    How to display data? ....i mean is it required to build dimensional hierarchy.
    Please clarify.
    regards
    chandra kanth

    1. Why we associate logical columns in the dimensional hierarchy?
    Dimension hierarchies establish levels for data groupings and calculations in your report, they also provide paths for drill down.
    2. For a particular organization unit there is no dimensional hierarchy, i mean data is at detailed level..
    How to display data? ....i mean is it required to build dimensional hierarchy.
    Data will always be at granular level for any dimension in a typical data warehouse. In order to report the fact at higher level for business users we create this dimensional hierarchy in the BMM. So, if you want to create your report that shows measure at specific level of organization then create it, else no need.

  • "Drilldown characteristic" not permitted for display hierarchy

    Hi Experts,
    I want to display the hierarchy in my BEx Analyzer for which i tried to activate the hierarchy for the same and got the below error.
    "Default values "Drilldown characteristic" not permitted for display hierarchy"
    Also I have used a standard variable for this infoobject and it is used for user input in the selection screen of the report.
    Eventhough we proceed further with this message, in the Report display, it is not showing the hierarchy in the display.
    Please respond ASAP.

    Hi,
        I don't know why you are getting this error. But we can create hierarchy either by using herarchy name or else by creating hierarchy variable......In characteristics for which you are creating hierarchy, in display tab of properties give DISPLAY AS KEY, SORT CHARACTERISTICS -- AS IN THE QUERY  and RESULT ROWS --- ALWAYS SUPPRESS....
    In HIERARCHY TAB --- Give Hierarchy name select use hierarchy setting check boxand select always show radio buttons......
    Do in this way and it may work......

  • Dimensional Hierarchy DOUBT

    Hello Experts
    I have an requirement were i have to create a report with time dimension and a hierarchy is defined for this time dimension from Year till Seconds .
    My Question is : I HAVE TO USE THE SAME DIMENSIONAL HIERARCHY AND WANT THE REPORT TO DRILL ONLY TILL THE DAY LEVEL (COULD ANYBODY PLEASE SUGGEST WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IF YOU FACED THESE EXPERIENCE BEFORE)

    Not much you can do here. If you data really is at the seconds level, and the hierarchy really needs to go from year clear down to seconds, then you might be out of luck - I don't know any way to allow users to drill to only a given level in one report, but a different level elsewhere.
    Having said that, maybe it would be easier to define a "date" dimension that has years -> quarters -> months -> days, and then have a "time of day" dimension that has hours, minutes, and seconds. Create drills within the dimensions, but don't create a drill between the dimensions (so if users ever want to drill from day to hours, they manually have to add in the hours component)
    I think 11g may (?) be able to help - I believe you can pick a hierarchy to drill through in that version, in which case you may be able to have one hierarchy that goes from years -> seconds, and another that drills from years -> days only. If so, that would meet your requirement (haven't played with 11g yet, so not certain this is possible)
    Thx,
    Scott

  • Print data without creating a report

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle and Forms 10g. I have a table in tabular view with 10 records. I want to print those 10 records without creating a report. I have used the print button on the smartbar but it prints the entire form.
    Is there a way I can print only the data in the datablock without creating a report?

    Thank you very. A report is the solution to my problem. I was looking for something easier to implement but I see that there is not such a solution. I was hopping for example that you can press the print button, and get the data that are displayed in the data block. Your solutions work fine but are not easier to implement compared to the report solution.
    Thanx very much for your trouble.

  • Schedule Webi (and Crystal) report without creating a new instance

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for the way to not create a new instance of the report when we schedule a report? Is it any actions on the InfoObject object? Or is it just impossible to do?
    Thanks in advance !
    Edited by: jerome.vervier on Nov 21, 2011 11:40 AM

    Hi,
    With regards to your query, whenever a report is scheduled an instance of it will be created.
    Therefore, it is not possible to schedule a report without creating an instance.

  • How to use migration assistant without creating dual user accounts

    I want to use migration assistant to transfer apps, software & files on my macbook pro to my new macbook air. How can I do this without creating two user accounts for myself on the m-book air -- my account from the m-book pro & the one that the air makes me create as soon as I do start-up? Can I just use the same name & password for both? or will that make things go badly awry?
    Thanks!

    If you have not booted the MBA for the first time and gone through the Setup Assistant, then I would use the Setup Assistant to make the transfer before you even create another user account. However, if you've already created the new user account on the MBA, then create a new admine one with a different username than the account you will migrate. Log into this new account, delete the first account you made, then use Migration Assistant to transfer your account from the MBP.
