Drilling Limits

We have tried to find this and so far we have not been able to but is there a limit to how many times/levels you can drill to in Discoverer 4.1?
We have tested it down to 7 levels from the main level and it worked fine.
Thanks!
Michelle

The problem was that I needed to wrap a G type repeating group for US, around the the specification repeating group. And I needed to modify the Gen Variant rating/validity to include a line item for region US.

Drill Down Error / Report Builder Limitations

I have been having alot of problems recently with the new
version of 7.0.2. A few things that i have noticed is that i can't
do drill downs anymore. I don't think it's a coding issue since it
was working in the previous 2 releases of Report Builder(7.0,
7.0.1).
Another problem is that I have reports that return around
1,000 pages. Now, I know there is a limitation on Flash Paper/Flash
Player, whoever i was wondering if there is a work around or
something i can do to get this reports to finish. Right now I get
the error roughly stating "A script has cause this flash movie to
become unstable and if you continue it might make the computer
unresponsive". Currently the only work around that i have is to
offer the same report in PDF format, however 90% of our customers
want to run it in flash paper, and my boss wonts it to work using
flash paper aswell.
Any sugguestions that you might have or anything please email
me. If you have any questions please email me aswell.
Thank you,
Daniel

Yeah, still having this issue... Can't get the links working
in Flash Paper. A temp fix is to have the report in PDF instead of
Flash.

Limits the PerformancePoint Analytic Chart drill down dimensions

Actually my requirement is, how to limits the Performance Point Analytic Chart drill down dimensions.
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. Is it possible to achieve it in SQL Server 2008 R2 without
Perspective?
I should not change my system from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 for
Perspective.
Is there any other way to achieve it.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi Poomani,
In your scenario, you create a Performance Point Analytic Chart, now the requirement is that limit the Performance Point Analytic Chart drill down dimensions, right?
As you know, to limit the drill down dimensions, we can created a perspective in the cube that limited the visible dimensions to those couple of dimensions. In your scenario, you said that you need change my system from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012
for Perspective, right? We can create a Perspective on SQL Server 2008 R2 version. The links below might help.

Drill-Down limitations

I would ask about an specific drill-down case where I am losing drill-down capabilities:
is it possible that using combined requests disable the drill-down options? On my case, I have a parent report (using combined requests) linked to a second one using *"Navigate to"* option. The problem is that choicing a value on first report does not filtering by this value on the second report. In the second report, the field is filtered using "is prompted" option.
Is that a normal case?
Thanks everybody.

Yeah, still having this issue... Can't get the links working

OBIEE 11G HOLAP( drill through) from ORACLE OLAP to Relaltional table

Hi Experts...
I have some idea that the drill through from an essbase cube to an relational cube can be possible with few limitations in OBIEE 10g. I am looking for the same feature with ORACLE OLAP option . I have OLAP cube built in 11g (leve5 - granularity to one of the dimension) , and relational has 7 levels. In OBIEE once drill down to the level 5 it has fetched data from OLAP , and going beyond to level 6 -7 then it should get the data from relational table.
Do anyone had gone through such solution, Please kndly share your inputs and documents which would be helpful.
Thanks
S

This is very easy. It's really no different from setting up OBIEE to drill from one table to another. Let's assume that you have your cube mapped in OBIEE using the OBIEE plug-in for Analytic Workspace Manager. Here is an outline of the steps:
1. Add the dimension table and fact table to the OBIEE physical layer.
2. Add the new level to the OBIEE dimension object in the business layer.
3. Add the dimension table as a new logical table source to the existing dimension table in the business layer.
4. Add the fact table as new table in the business layer.
5. Define joins in the physical and business model as appropriate.
6. Set set keys in the tables and the dimension as appropriate.
7. Set the level for the new dimension table to the appropriate level in the dimension.
Again, it's really best to just think about this as drilling from one table to another.

SmartView 11.1.2.1 - Limitation on Rows?

Hi,
In the Excel Add In we are unable to drill into any dim if it needs to go past 65K rows. Is this limitation the same with Smartview? We have a customer dim that has 400K members in it and sometimes they want to drill to that level. I can't test as I can't get smartview working in my test environment and client won't allow to install unless I find out beforehand. Also, I realize Dodeca would resolve this but not sure client will pay for Dodeca etc....
Just hoping Smartview will allow drill to 400K if needed.
Thanks

You are not limited by the 65k rows, though the default is only set to 5000 which can easily be changed - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/aps_admin/ch03s01s08.html

Poor performance with WebI and BW hierarchy drill-down...

Hi
We are currently implementing a large HR solution with BW as backend
and WebI and Xcelcius as frontend. As part of this we are experiencing
very poor performance when doing drill-down in WebI on a BW hierarchy.
In general we are experiencing ok performance during selection of data
and traditional WebI filtering - however when using the BW hierarchy
for navigation within WebI, response times are significantly increasing.
The general solution setup are as follows:
1) Business Content version of the personnel administration
infoprovider - 0PA_C01. The Infoprovider contains 30.000 records
2) Multiprovider to act as semantic Data Mart layer in BW.
3) Bex Query to act as Data Mart Query and metadata exchange for BOE.
All key figure restrictions and calculations are done in this Data Mart
Query.
4) Traditionel BO OLAP universe 1:1 mapped to Bex Data Mart query. No
calculations etc. are done in the universe.
5) WebI report with limited objects included in the WebI query.
As we are aware that performance is an very subjective issues we have
created several case scenarios with different dataset sizes, various
filter criteria's and modeling techniques in BW.
Furthermore we have tried to apply various traditional BW performance
tuning techniques including aggregates, physical partitioning and pre-
calculation - all without any luck (pre-calculation doesn't seem to
work at all as WebI apparently isn't using the BW OLAP cache).
In general the best result we can get is with a completely stripped WebI report without any variables etc.
and a total dataset of 1000 records transferred to WebI. Even in this scenario we can't get
each navigational step (when using drill-down on Organizational Unit
hierarchy - 0ORGUNIT) to perform faster than minimum 15-20 seconds per.
navigational step.
That is each navigational step takes 15-20 seconds
with only 1000 records in the WebI cache when using drill-down on org.
unit hierachy !!.
Running the same Bex query from Bex Analyzer with a full dataset of
30.000 records on lowest level of detail returns a threshold of 1-2
seconds pr. navigational step thus eliminating that this should be a BW
modeling issue.
As our productive scenario obviously involves a far larger dataset as
well as separate data from CATS and PT infoproviders we are very
worried if we will ever be able to utilize hierarchy drill-down from
WebI ?.
The question is as such if there are any known performance issues
related to the use of BW hierarchy drill-down from WebI and if so are
there any ways to get around them ?.
As an alternative we are currently considering changing our reporting
strategy by creating several higher aggregated reports to avoid
hierarchy navigation at all. However we still need to support specific
division and their need to navigate the WebI dataset without
limitations which makes this issue critical.
Hope that you are able to help.
Thanks in advance
/Frank

Hi Henry, thank you for your suggestions although i´m not agree with you that 20 seconds is pretty good for that navigation step. The same query executed with BEx Analyzer takes only 1-2 seconds to do the drill down.
Actions
suppress unassigned nodes in RSH1: Magic!! This was the main problem!!
tick use structure elements in RSRT: Done it.
enable query stripping in WebI: Done it.
upgrade your BW to SP09: Has the SP09 some inprovements in relation to this point ?
use more runtime query filters. : Not possible. Very simple query.
Others:
RSRT combination H-1-3-3-1 (Expand nodes/Permanent Cache BLOB)
Uncheck prelimirary Hierarchy presentation in Query. only selected.
Check "Use query drill" in webi properties.
Sorry for this mixed message but when i was answering i tryied what you suggest in relation with supress unassigned nodes and it works perfectly. This is what is cusing the bottleneck!! incredible...
Thanks a lot

Getting error while drill through a report

Hi,
I am getting this following error when I drill through a report and the OFA application freezes. I hope this is problem with the OFA installation.
(MXMSERR) S does not exist in any attached database.
What does it mean and what could be the problem ?
Please let me know how to rectify the problem?
Thanks

Hi,
If it's not the universe limits, then I think you've hit the "MDX result contains too many cells" (more than 1million) problem.
So, I suspect a long running query, no filters/variable restrictions, and You've probably got a dump in ST22.
I don't know what BW you have, but if it is BW 7, do you have Enhancement Pack 01 and SP05<->10 ?
You should check out all the latest corrections from component BW-BEX-OT-MDX
the final proof of the pudding would be to enable MDA / SOFA log , capture the MDX SELECT statement and test it in BW MDXTEST - i bet you get the same error there.

Javascript Problem for Drill Down Action in SSRS Report when integrated to PPS 2010

Hi all,
I have a SSRS report which is integrated to PPS 2010(Performance Point Services) and it is having a drill down action through Go to URL action(I wrote javascript:void(window.open('xxxxx')) to open drill down report in new window).
This report has 5 parameters and all are multiple valued. Drill down report is opening very well when I open the report form Report Manager for any number of parameters values selected. But when I integrate the same report is PPS and deployed to SharePoint
then it is working only for 23 parameter values selected in PPS filters. If I select more the 23 values in PPS filters then the drilldown report is not opening.
But it is working well in Chrome, I verified in IE and Mozilla, both browsers are having problem.
When I look at Error Console of Mozilla, it is showing a javascript error as "Error: uncaught exception: ReferenceError: window is not defined" but the same report is working well if I select less than 24 filter values.
Please provide me the solution
Thanks in advance

Hi Vasu,
The issue might occur due to the Microsoft security update MS11-100 which limits the maximum number of form keys, files, and JSON members to 1000 in an HTTP request. Here, I suggest that you modify the Web.config file of the SharePoint site as follows:
<appSettings>
<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="10000" />
</appSettings>
If the SharePoint site uses the port 80, the web.config file of the SharePoint site is located in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 folder.
Reference:
An ASP.NET request that has lots of form keys, files, or JSON payload members fails with an exception
If the issue persist, please check whether there are any related errors in the Reporting Services log file which is located in <Drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRSXX.<Instance Name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles.

FGI0 "New GL" Receivables by Profit center- Drill down/Call-Up report

Dear all,
I am using S_AC0_52000887 to view receivables by profit center as we have activated New GL. FBL5N is not possible to see since we have multiple profit centers per customer and FAGLL03 which is a New GL report has no selection by customer on selection screen.
However, S_AC0_52000887 has limited information- I want to see the line items in the report. I use FGI0 and copy a new report using 0SAPRECIEV01 and want to drill down by line items to the FAGLL03 view. So i go to Extras menu > Report Assignment and assign to FAGL_ACCOUNT_ITEMS_GL program. However, the report parameters are not being passed in.
Can anyone assist how to pass the parameters in the main report, to the call-up report?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Huimin

If you are trying to view such a report through transaction code FBL1N, then I would suggest you follow the solution described in this thread below:
Re: Add field Net Due Date at the selection field in FBL1N t.code
Also to view profit center wise, use the dynamic selections in FBL1N to select profit center.

Essbase Studio Drill-through for Recursive Hierarchy - Generation 1

I'm using Essbase Studio 11.1.2.3 to build an ASO cube. All my hierarchies are recursive (parent-child). I would like to define a drill-through report and I understand that I have to use the Advanced Settings option to specify my intersections. Now one of my dimensions is optional for the users - they don't have to specify a member (they can leave it at the highest level - dimension name on the spreadsheet). Under 'Advanced Settings' for DT report in Studio I have to specify a Generation value of 2 or greater than 2. How do I enable drill through in cells where one of the dimension is at Gen1 ? Specifying the level number didn't work. I think if you specify Level in 'Advanced Settings', drill through is allowed only if that specified level of the dimension is chosen, if Gen 2 is specified, then drill through is allowed as long as the dimension-members specified are at or above Gen2. But what about Gen1?

Yep, this is a limitation. I suggest you create two reports one that takes your "optional" dimension out and a second one that has it in. if they don't need the dimension, select the first report and if they need the filter then the second. I m always a little leery with recursive hierarchies and Gen 2 or 3 sine they create a list of level 0 members under the selection in the query and there are limits to the number of members in an in clause and at high levels in the hierarchy it is easy to surpass it (In Oracle it is 1000 members)

Bubble Chart drill down issues

I have a filter and a bubble chat with 7 series. The chart is showing up bubbles with different size and colors as per the settings when I chnage the filter
The problem is with drill down
I want to drill down to a Bar chart when I click on bubbles. Each bubble click will drill down data into that bar charchart as a pop up. I know how to do it as I have done it in the past with other components.
But when I use drill down with bubble chart, I have to assign separate destination area for each series which makes it difficult to drill down into a chart. What i want is the bubbles to drill down data into a single row so that I can map the Y-axis of chart component to that row and X axis as fixed labels. But I am not able to do that. Moreover once inserted there is no way to clear the destination cells.
However if I use data in range options in bubble chart then I can use drill down as I get only one series in that case. But that method also has limitations.
1. I am not able to display series name on the bubbles. It doesn't make any sense to show bubbles without any labels.
2. All bubbles are of same color.
Is it possible to overcome above two limitations when using data in range option?
Thanks

Hi Tarun,
as a workaround you could define a special area as mapping area for the X-Y-chart.
This area is filled via excel formulas from the bubble chart drill down destinations. You can concatenate the values from the drill down target areas, like "=A4&A5" etc. Make sure to clear all cells except the actual drill down target cells.
Hope this helps,
best regards
Heiko

Master detail view with drill down

I am trying to develop a simple app for my Ipad. This app is supposed to have a Master/details look and should behave similar to the native Mail app (2x levels of navigation and the last level updates the details view).
My problem is that I am not familiar to Apple IOS development so tend to get stuck all the time so I prefer to follow a tutorial or start with a sample project. I have searched for hours but I always either get a pure navigation drill down project without the details view or a pure master/details project with only a single level of navigation. I tried to take these projects and modify them but my knowledge sadly is very limited and I did not succeed.
So can anybody direct me to a tutorial or a sample project where a Mail like app is being built with more than 1 level of navigation ?

I have a GridBagLayout panel with a jtable and some jtextfield Well, we don't know exactly what constraints you have set up to its hard to say exactly why its happening.
In general, you should create your JTextField using new JTextField(int) and I think the problem will go away.
An easier solution would also be to use different LayoutManagers to achieve the desired layout.

Two questions about possible limitations in the Trial version

1) I'm unable to format Date and Time using the Inspector/Table/Format option - is this because I'm using the Trial Version?
The thing I'm trying to do is lose the day of the week in the default, so instead of "Sunday, August 26, 2007" it would read "August 26, 2007".
Can I do this in the full registered version?
2) I'm unable to change the top margin of a document in the trial version. I've gone into File/Page Setup/Paper Size/Manage custom sizes and changed the margins to no avail. It prints out exactly as it did before I made the changes. Is this also a limitation of the trial version that works fine in the full version?

Hi Walt:
Thanks for the quick reply.
Re: the date format, I know I can change it manually by control-click, but I was trying to change the default, so that it always gives me "Month Date, Year", instead of "Day of week, Month Date, Year". My problem with the "Automatically Update on Open" option is that yes, it will give me what I want when I CREATE a new document, but anytime I open an old document to read it, it will change the date from the date it was created to the date it was re-opened.
Is there ANY way I can insert date and get the format I want each time without having to manually change it?
As for the top margin, thanks. I see that the only way to change a document's margins is by going into the Inspector and changing them under "Document Margins". I was changing them under File/Page Setup, and drilling down to Printer Margins. Since that didn't seem to change anything ... what are Printer Margins and what does changing them actually do (since I couldn't tell any difference when I changed them)?

Issue with Drill Through Reports in Essbase Studio.

Hi,
we are using essbase studio to drill through to the source table in Oracle.In drill through definition the query is like , select * from source where (Project IN ($$PROJECTS-VALUE$$)). Project column is located in source table and PROJECTS-VALUES are located in Essbase under project dimension and we will select the values in smart view. we are using smart view to check drill through reports.In smart view, If i select one member at gen-2 level which contains 1450 level-0 members,It is saying as error in executing the report in line 1972. Is there any limitation with IN condition , such that oracle takes only limited values like count of 999.we are facing issue only at gen-2 of project and it is working good from gen-3.
Please let me know is there any kind of certain limitation.

It is possible you are overloading the parser. If the projects table/view is a recursive join, when Studio creates the $$Project-value$$ is actaully returns all the level zero members under the member selected(at least in 11.1.2.X. If the list is huge, it might have problems. I would open an SR to see if there is a limit. It might be number of characters or values
