FSG Reports using Parent/Child relationships

All,
We have recently progressed to using Parent and Child values with our Cost Centres (segment1) and we now are looking at the use of these with FSG Reports.
Is it possible, or has anyone got any experience with using, an FSG report which picks up the Parent Value description without the need for manually typing it into Row Sets when totalling all the child values (inc child value descriptions).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Gary Lythgoe

Hi Gary,
Account assignments level we are selecting Accounts whether it is parent or child, but not at row line level, there is no builtin functionality as per your request.

Function to get the path using a parent-child relationship

Hello,
I have a table which uses parent-child relationship to store the options available. I need a function to give me the full path given the id of a particular option.
I have two different functions. One of them uses the Oracle built in function and the other uses simple queries with a loop.The code of the functions are given below.
Now, the problem is with their "performance". The difference in their performance is significant. The function using the Oracle function takes more than 2 hours to run a query whereas the other function takes less than 2 minutes.
I am having trouble trusting the other function. No matter how many tests I perform on the output of both the functions, it always comes out to be the same.
Any thoughts to help me understand this ??
Function 1
=====================
FUNCTION Gettree (opt_id IN NUMBER,i_app_id IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
path VARCHAR2(32767);
application_no NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT ABC.APP_OPT_ID INTO application_no FROM ABC
WHERE ABC.APP_ID = i_app_id AND ABC.PARENT_ID IS NULL;
SELECT LPAD(' ', 2*LEVEL-1)||SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(app_opt_name, '=>') "Path" INTO path
FROM ABC
WHERE app_opt_id = opt_id
START WITH parent_id =application_no
CONNECT BY PRIOR app_opt_id =parent_id;
path := SUBSTR(path,INSTR(path,'>')+1,LENGTH(path));
RETURN path;
END Gettree ;
Function 2
======================
FUNCTION GetOptPath(opt_id NUMBER,app_id NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
string VARCHAR2(900);
opt VARCHAR2(100);
pid NUMBER(38);
BEGIN
SELECT ABC.parent_id,ABC.app_opt_name INTO pid,string FROM ABC WHERE ABC.app_opt_id = opt_id;
IF pid IS NULL
THEN
RETURN 'root';
ELSIF pid IS NOT NULL
THEN
LOOP
SELECT ABC.app_opt_name,ABC.parent_id INTO opt, pid FROM ABC WHERE ABC.app_opt_id = pid;
EXIT WHEN pid IS NULL;
string := opt || '=>'|| string;
END LOOP;
RETURN string;
END IF;
END;

Hello Frank,
The parameters taken by gettree & getoptpath are app_opt_id and app_id and both the functions return only one string i.e. the path of that particular option (app_opt_id) starting from its root and not all the descendants of that option/root node of that option.
So, does that mean that gettree first fetches all the descendants of the root node of the given option and then returns the required one ??Yes. It's a little like the situation where you need to meet with your co-worker Amy, so you send an e-mail to everyone in the department telling them to come to your office, and then, when they arrive, tell everyone except Amy that they can leave.

And if that is the case, then won't it be better to use the bottom-up approach to fetch the required path just for that particular option ?? 'coz my requirement is that only.. given an option_id get the full path starting from the root.Exactly!
I have used explain plan also for both the functions.. but since I did not know how to anlayze the output from plan_table so I just compared the value in the fields and they were exactly the same for both the queries.If you'd like help analyzing the plans, post them, as Centinul said.
I am attaching a sample data with the outputs of both the functions for the reference.
(tried attaching the file but could not find the option, so pasting the data here)

You seem to have all the PL/SQL skills needed for this.
Another approach is a revised form of gettree, like I posted earlier. Does it do what you want or not?
If you'd help, then post a little sample data in a form people can actually use, such as CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements. Post a few sets of parameters, and the results you need from each set, given the sample data posted.

How to output the outline parent-child relationship using a report script?

I'd like to extract the outline's dimension members with it's parent-child relationship using a report script. Anybody can provide a sample script? Thanks.
Example:
DimensionX
-----MemberX
----------ChildX
Output:
Dimension X MemberX
MemberX ChildX
Edited by: obelisk on Jan 11, 2010 5:16 PM

Sorry a report script won't do it. You have two options
1. Use at Essbase Outline API to walk the outline and get it for you
2. Use the Outline extractor available from Applied Olap (it is a free download). It can be run interactively of as a bat file.
Frankly, I would rather use 2 since I don't have to code it myself

Implement Parent child Relationship using SSIS

Could you please suggest the best way which should not impact the performance of data loading, to implement parent child relationship using SSIS.
We have a flat file RECON80.dat which need to be loaded into the database into 2 tables.
Parent Table JobMaster and Child Table RECON80 .
In the flat file we have a fields Jobphase which will get inserted in JobMaster table and the remaning details like EIN, DATE etc will get inserted in RECON80 table.
The Parent table JobMaster has JobId as an identity column which is the Pk of the table and it will get inserted into the child table i.e RECON80 JobId as FK of the child tale.
Please suggest the best possible way to achieve it.

Hi SubhadipRoy, I think you might need to create a procedure for this task.
Because in SSIS, we cannot directly get the Identity ID.
As my experience, there were serveral ways to do. But all are workaround.
So, My suggestion is.
In SSIS:
1. Create a DataFlow
2. Drag a flat source and load the data from dat file
3. Create a procedure which receive the parameter from your data of each row.
4. Drag a OLEDBCommand to the Panel and Invoke the Procedure also don't forget to pass all your rows to the Procedure in OLEDBCommand control.
5. In Procedure, after insert 1 row you could get the Identity ID throuth SCOPE_IDENTITY()
That's it, hope it works for you even this may not the efficency way.
Althrough, I expect someone can give the best way if there is.

Simulate 1-N relationship as N-N by using Parent-Child structure

Hi,
i have a 1-N relationship between SKILL and USER tables meaning 1 skill can be applied to several users. A skill can have a parent skill meaning that a ParentSkill inherits all privileges of it's child.
I would like to simulate a N-N relationship between users and skills by building a view which goes through the parent-child relationship... Can this be accomplished by building a view?
Current structure:
|USERID | USERNAME | SKILLID |
+-------+----------+----------+
|   1   | Jack    |      1   |
|   2   | Simon   |      1   |
|   3   | Fred    |      3   |
+-------+----------+----------+
|SKILLID | DESCRIPTION   | PARENTSKILL |
+--------+---------------+--------------+
|   1    | Mechanic     |      2       |
|   2    | Inspector    |      3       |
|   3    | Supervisor   |      null    |
+--------+---------------+--------------+Preferred output (ordering of skillid is not important):
|USERID | USERNAME | SKILLID |
+-------+----------+----------+
|   1   | Jack    |      1   |
|   2   | Simon   |      1   |
|   3   | Fred    |      3   |
|   3   | Fred    |      2   |
|   3   | Fred    |      1   |
+-------+----------+----------+

Hopefully this meets your needs:
WITH
users as
    SELECT 1 as USERID, 'Jack' as USERNAME, 1 as SKILLID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT 2 as USERID, 'Simon' as USERNAME, 1 as SKILLID FROM DUAL UNION ALL

Help needed in retrieving parent child relationship values

Hi,
I have a requirement to get parent child relationship values as below.
Ex: Address table
cont cont_code state state_code
C1 10 S1 1
C1 10 S2 2
C1 10 S3 3
C2 20 S4 4
C2 20 S5 5
C3 30 S6 6
C3 30 S7 7
C3 30 S8 8
I want a result of country/state and corresponding code like below.
corresponding states should be displayed under each country with some space appended to it.
Geography code
C1 10
S1 1
S2 2
S3 3
C2 20
S4 4
S5 5
C3 30
S6 6
S7 7
S8 8
I am using oracle 10g version.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you post formatted text (like your output) on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
I think you're saying that you want this output:GEOGRAPHY CODE
C1 10
S1 1
S2 2
S3 3
C2 20
S4 4
S5 5
C3 30
S6 6
S7 7
S8 8
If so, UNION, as Hoek suggested, is a good way.
GROUP BY ROLLUP is more efficient, but harder to understand:SELECT     CASE
          WHEN GROUPING (state) = 1
          THEN cont
          ELSE ' ' || state
     END          AS geography
,      CASE
          WHEN GROUPING (state) = 1
          THEN MAX (cont_code)
          ELSE MAX (state_code)
     END          AS code
FROM     t
GROUP BY cont
,      ROLLUP (state)
ORDER BY cont
,      state          NULLS FIRST
By the way, this looks like a bad table design.
In a relational database, the fact that the name 'C1' belongs to cont_code 10 should only be stored in one place. You have the same information on 3 separate rows.
Also, if 'C1' and 'S1' are both names, they should probably be in the same column, so that (to give just one example) you can find the information about 'x1' without knowing if it is a cont or a state.
A better design would be.NAME     CODE     PARENT     DSCR
====     ====     ======     ====
C1     10          CONT
S1     1     10     STATE
S2     2     10     STATE
S3     3     10     STATE
C2     20          CONT
S4     4     20     STATE
S5     5     20     STATE
C3     30          CONT
S6     6     30     STATE
S7     7     30     STATE
S8     8     30     STATE
If the data is this simple, then the dscr column isn't needed. Whether parent is NULL or not tells whether the rows represents a cont or a state.
To get the results you want from a table like this, you could use CONNECT BY. Using either UNION or ROLLUP, you have to know, at the time you write the query, how many levels there will be in the parent-child tree, and the length of the code is proportional to that depth, and the table has to be changed if you ever need to add another level. CONNECT BY can handle any number of levels, and the length and complexity of the code is the same whether you have just 2 levels (countries and strates), or 7 levels (continents, regions, countiries, states, districts, cities and neighborhoods) or 72 levels. The table doesn't need any more columns, no matter how deep the tree gets.

Parent child relationship is not displaying for IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS (PO)

Hi,
Can somebody help me the reason why parent child relationship not displaying properly for ORDER05 basic type?
If we go in details about the problem, a purchase order is creating in R/3 through EBP. To modify my requirement I am using userexit EXIT_SAPLEINM_002. Here I am appending the records in the segment for E1EDKT1 and E1EDKT2. IDOC is creating with an error of status record 26.
When I check in the transaction WE19 for the respective IDOC the data is showing correctly for all the segments including e1edkt1 and e1edkt2 segments and also I check in the table EDID4 segment number is showing correctly and the for the segment E1EDKT2 PGNUM also showing correctly, but when I see the IDOC in the transactions WE02 unable to see parent child relationship between E1EDKT1 and E1EDKT2 segment. Simply the data is displaying one below other like other segment.
I don't know the reason why it is displaying like that?
If anybody is having the solution is highly appreciable.
Regards,
Noorul

hi hassan,
When you are appendng the REcods which belong to the purticular segment..
all the segment needs to be appended in in the proper order as in the WE30..
I think you are appending the segment E1EDKT2 at the end of the EDIDD.. or IDOC_DATA in the user exit.. .. eventho no eerror will be displayed but idoc will generted with sataus 26 .. if check the STATUIs Recored u ewill find the SYNTaX ERROR.
Sollution for ur probelm is... don append the E1EDKT2 at the lastr instead you ahve to insert the segment E1EDKT2. only afer E1EDKT1....
Tehn you r problem will be solved.. I had faced the Same proble when i worked on material maser idoc..
Close this thread if when u r problem ise solved
Reward if helpful

Parent-Child Relationship between app

Hi,
I am trying to deploy 2 applications, which needs to have a parent-child relationship between them.
One option is i should driectly change server.xml, and put parent tag in this Xml file and restart the container.
Another option is i can use my Ant Target to invoke command line argument which uses admin.jar and which has parent attribute... so when i give the command to put parent-child relationship, the container gives the message that app2 has parent app1 but actually it doesnt put the required tag in server.xml and nor does it put the relationship in place.
So any workaround for this... how can i put that relationship in place without modifying server.xml.
We are running 9ias 9.0.2.3 on True64
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Has anyone done sumthing like this before... even after trying everything i am still not able to do parent- child relationship between applications.

Parent Child Relationships between Drop Down Menus

I have a request for additional functionality. Parent child relationships between drop down lists.
for example,
the first dropdown, could contain North, South, East, West & assign values of 1, 2, 3, 4.
the second dropdown, could contain a filtered set of data depending on the option from the first dropdown,
so the data could look like this in the second drop down:
Manchester 1
Leeds 1
London 2
Southampton 2
Norfolk 3
Newquay 4
so if I select North in the first dropdown, the second drop down would contain all the items with a value of 1, so Manchester & Leeds.
I have managed to get round this using conditional show & hide, but it is much messier on the design screen & also the way in which the data
will be returned is very very messy - seems like a simple addition which would improve the functionality no end.

How to model parent child relationship with DPL? @Transient?

Hello All,
I want to model a parent entity object with a collection of child entities:
@Entity
public class Parent{
@PrimaryKey
String uuid;
List<Child> children;
@Entity
public class Child{
@PrimaryKey
String id;
I know that the DPL won't support automatic persistence where it'll recursively go through my parent bean and persist my children with one call. Is there a way of applying the equivalent to JPA's @Transient annotation on "children" so I can persist the children manually and have the engine ignore the collection?
If not and I want to return to the user a Parent with a List named "children," do I have to create a new object which is identical to Parent, but doesn't have the BDB annotations and manually assemble everything? If possible, I'd like to avoid defining redundant objects.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Steven,
The definition of persistence is here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/persist/model/Entity.html
And includes this: "All non-transient instance fields of an entity class, as well as its superclasses and subclasses, are persistent. static and transient fields are not persistent."
So you can use the Java transient keyword. If that isn't practical because you're using transient in a different way for Java serialization, see the JE @NotPersistent annotation.
In general a parent-child relationship between entities is implemented almost as you've described, but with a parentId secondary key in the Child to index all children by their parent. This enables a fast lookup of children by their parent ID.
I suggest looking at this javadoc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html
as it describes all types of entity relationships and the trade-offs involved. The department-employee relationship in these examples is a parent-child relationship.

Question about File Content Conversion and parent-child relationships...

Hello!
 I have read probably every blog, article and SAP Help document on the topic, but I am stuck on this one. I am trying to convert a General Ledger flat file to an IDoc using the classic file --> IDoc scenario. The setup is done and working, but the IDocs are formatted incorrectly and I believe at least part of the reason is how I am converting the file content.
The root of my problem is that the flat file has a parent-child relationship between the document header and the document item and I want to maintain that since the IDoc type (FIDCCP01) has the same structure in the BKPF and BSEG segments.
Here is the flat (non-XML) file layout that is coming into the file adapter:
FileHeader
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
and so on (until the number of documents is complete
I would really like the content to be converted so that the line items stay under their parent document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
 <ItemHeader>
 </ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
 <ItemHeader>
</ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
But I keep getting this, where it lists the document headers first (one after another), and then all of the line items after the document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<ItemHeader></ItemHeader>
Is is possible to maintain that parent-child relationship from the flat file and pass it over to the XML?
Thanks,
John

Custom IDoc Type missing segment parent/child relationships

Hi.
I copied the standard ORDERS05 IDoc type to a custom type and cut out quite a few segments. My new IDoc type is setup with parent/child segment relationships, similar to many of the original relationships in ORDERS05.
When I use the standard FM IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP to generate an IDoc, it's not creating with parent/child segment relationships. It's placing the children at the same level as the parent.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Cal

figured out the problem. was missing a required segment used to establish the parent/child relationship.

Re: Circular Parent-Child relationship amongwidgets.

Alaiah,
Setting the parent to NIL is the proper thing to do to remove
a widget from a panel. Why don't you try just setting it
to NIL and not adding the new chart to the window to make
sure that it gets removed. If that doesn't work, maybe
Window.UpdateDisplay, but you shouldn't have to do that.
As far as the parent-child relationship issue, when you set
the widget's Parent to NIL, that is actually invoking a virtual
attribute that does more than just NIL out the reference. One
of the things that happens is that the child is removed from
the parent's Children array. Do a task.lgr.putline(<parent>.Children.Items)
to see how many items are in the array, then do the NIL, then
do a second putline and you'll see the array has one less item.

window. I have a situation that every time the panel is resized I need to
scale the Bar Graph in accordance with the new panel size and draw it. But
before drawing the newly scaled Bar Graph I am clearing out all the children
of the panel ( I am doing this just to refresh the panel) and then drawing
the newly scaled Bar Graph. But this does not work!!! I still find some
left over from the previous Bar Graph!!! Any help in this matter is greatly
appreciated.
Also I don't understand this circular parent-child relationship. If I assign
a NIL to Parent attribute of all the children of the panel, what will happen
to the Children attribute of the panel? Won't there be any memory leak by
adopting the above procedure of disconnecting a child from its parent? If
so, how do we take care of it?
Thanks in advance!

The following is the segment of the code which could be useful for clarity:
// Draws the Bar Graph for the first time.
self.ShowChart(TestData);
self.Open();
event loop
when task.Shutdown do
exit;
// When the window is resized
// I am scaling the Bar Graph for the new
// panel size.
when self.window.AfterReSize do
self.ClearChartPanel();
// self.window.UpdateDisplay();
self.ShowChart(TestData);
end event;
self.Close();
Method ClearChartPanel is as follows:
for child in self.<ChartPanel>.Children do
child.Parent = NIL;
end for;

Alaiah,
Setting the parent to NIL is the proper thing to do to remove
a widget from a panel. Why don't you try just setting it
to NIL and not adding the new chart to the window to make
sure that it gets removed. If that doesn't work, maybe
Window.UpdateDisplay, but you shouldn't have to do that.
As far as the parent-child relationship issue, when you set
the widget's Parent to NIL, that is actually invoking a virtual
attribute that does more than just NIL out the reference. One
of the things that happens is that the child is removed from
the parent's Children array. Do a task.lgr.putline(<parent>.Children.Items)
to see how many items are in the array, then do the NIL, then
do a second putline and you'll see the array has one less item.
