Hierarchical columns drill path in 11g

Guys,
I am working on a simple graph with one dim attribute column, another dim hierachy column(Parent-Child Hierarchy) and few measures.
Attribute column is on slider and hierarchical colum is the BAR that makes up the measures.. so far good
Since the graph bar is made up of this parent child hierarchical column, users will drill down to children level if that bar has childer (and It works fine)
Now my question is when drilling hierarchical columns in Graphs, Is there a way to see the path of the Hiearchical column traversed??
Also once it reaches bottom, there is no way to go back in the graph (Even back space doesnt seem to work)
any ideas guys?

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.

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 .

Display drilling path at granular level of report title in BAM 11g

Is it possible to show drilling path at report title location at the granular level of drill-down?consider that i have a report zone wise distribution of total price in a barchart.Once i click on say east zone it will show office wise distribution once i click on say canada-office bar it will show the details of the canada office.in the canada office details lavel i want to disply total driling path in the report title location at run time.so i can have at the report title location of the granular level eastzone-->canada office-->like this.if you have any solution on that please help me.thanks in advanced.

Different drill paths for a common Essbase Dimension with varied depth

Hi,
Need a solution to a problem that I have come across where in I have two Essbase cubes, In both the cubes there exists a dimension A, the dimension has different number of levels in each of the cubes. How do I associate the dimension drill path to match their existing structure in the respective cubes? I want to have only one dimension in the BMM Level.
An example scenario would be :
Cube 1: Product -> Product Category -> Product Sub-Category -> Product Name
Cube 2: Product -> Product Category
I want to have only one Product Dimension in the BMM layer and have multiple Hierarchies on it. My Problem is how do I associate the drill path specific to the cube on which it should work? The cubes are identical to each other in every other aspect other than this one difference.
Thanks and Regards,
jboy

@user3879025: No-one mentioned SAP and ragged hierarchies work perfectly fine for Essbase and MS Analysis server for example.
@jboy: Well ok, so you will have logical table and one hierarchy.
Physically, you will have to define a complex join (physical ones won't work...we discussed that lately here) where Cube1.Country = Cube2.Country.
The logical table will have four logical columns "World", "Region", "Country" and "City". You create those by starting off with the logical table from Cube1. The you pull Cube2.Country onto the Cube1.Country column to get a double mapping for that column. The you pull the Cube2.City column onto the Cube2 logical table source.
Now go through the LTS and columns and make sure they have the correct levels set. LTS for Cube1 will be at level "Country". LTS Cube2 will be "City".
For the hierarchy, you'll also start off with the one which has been created from Cube1.
Since there's now only one column called "Country" remaining, you're already in the green down to that level. Now add a new child which contains the "City" column. That's your hierarchy taken care of.
Now the thing missing is the measures of course. Here you will need to get the levels right again. Cube1.Measure1 and Cube1.Measure2 will be at content level "Country" while the Cube2 measures will be at level "City".
Best thing to do would be to confine that model in an own business model (at least an own presentation catalog) to eliminate problems coming from other (unconforming) dimensions that you will most likely have and hence potential errors thrown for users which are unaware of the actual structure in the background.

Deactivate the drill path selection

Hi everybody!
When more than one hierarchy starts with the same dimension object path but diverges at a lower level of the hierarchy Web Intelligence prompts and asks for the applied drill path!
In the universe documentation I found the sentence: The default path in the user module will be the one that is higher in the custom hierarchies list.
But Web Intelligence is always prompting and never chooses the default path.
Is there a oppertunity to disable the prompt and just use the default drill path?
Thank you in advance,
Sebastian

Hi,
thank you for the answort, but this is not, what I mean.
It is good If the user gets prompted if the drill requires additional data.
My hierarchy starts with the same dimension object path but diverges at a lower level of the hierarchy Web Intelligence prompts and asks for the applied drill path, although there is defined a default path in the BO Universe.
Can I hide this additional prompt?

Sebastian

Dynamic Filter on Hierarchical Column

I have a parent-child hierarchy in my 11g Subject Area. I know it is possible to filter the hierarchical column using the Selection Steps and the “Select Members based on Hierarchy” option. But is it possible to dynamically filter the column using a Session Variable?
My hierarchy is set up using the company’s department structure. The business need is for a line manager to have access only to data for their own departments, and any departments below in the hierarchy where applicable. A session variable in the repository knows who has logged onto OBI, and returns the relevant departments. Is it possible to use this variable to only display the relevant portion of the hierarchy?
Thanks.

Yes this is possible through external table authorization. Lets say you have hierrarchy table with different nodes in data warehouse. Lets consider w_hierarchy_d table for instance which has different columns like hier1_code, hier2_code etc. Create an external table with three different columns, username, hierarchynode, hierarchyvalue. Hierarchynode, gives the information on what level of hierarchy the user should be restricted, and the hierarchyvalue gives the actual value of the node user belongs to. Lets take a simple geography hierarchy as example;
username hierarchynode hierarchyvalue
user1 hier1_code Asia - Region
user2 hier3_code florida - Office
Using init block populate this data into session variables and create a filter on group/role like below:
case when valueofnqsessionhiernode='hier1_code' then officetable.region
when valueofnqsessionhiernode='hier3_code' then officetable.office
end = valueofnqsessionhiervalue.
I am positive the above model works as we implemented this before.

Choose Drill Path

Hi,
Can anyone help? I have set up a dimension containing the hierarchy and drill items. However the user in answers does not see the drill path and cannot choose from which item they wish to drill from.
For example, I have 4 levels:
Market
Sales Person
Introducer
Customer
The user can only drill across these levels to reach customer, is there a way where the user can choose to drill from Market to Customer without having to go through each level? Please note that these levels should exist but just allow the user some flexibility in choosing the drill path
Thanks

You can set up 'prefered drill path' in Market level in dimesional hierarchy.Set prefred drill path as Customer level.Then if you click on Market it will go directly to Customer.
But then user wont be able to navigate to Sales Person level from Market level.Another way is to create a report with Market and Customer columns in it.Then give navigation path to this report from Market column in parent report.This will also serve the purpose.

Preferred drill path

Hi,
I created a dimesion on three of my dimension table. I gave a preferred drill path from one dimesion to another. So if I click Account from first table it should dispaly values of Portfolio in the second dimension and if I click name then it should display secuirty code from third dimension. I gave a preferred dill path to do this. and I selected the columns, I want to drill thru and enabled the drill down key. My question in now when I select ay column from the any dimesion table it is giving me option to click and it is drilling to the columns to which I enabled drill down. For example in my first dimesion I chose 'Account numbe'r and second dimension I chose 'Name' . Now when I select any column from first dimension it let me drill thru and it displays Account number. When I click Account Number it displays name. I want only the drill thru feature to be enabled on Account Number, Name. All other columns should not let me drill thru. Is this possible or do we ahve to live with this.

Your question is eerily exactly like the original OP's question of this thread and after reading this post...
User with 78 series - something fishy
...it got me thinking about why your handle is a "number" rather than a name like most handles?
If you are not the same person, please open your own thread, but I would still like an answer to the questions above (in bold).

Setting a condition for preferred drill path.

Is there a way we can set a condition for preferred drill path in hierarchy?
Our requirement is to skip levels if they have no values..
Thanks in advance.

No you can't (90% sure)
But may be you have ragged hierarchies, have you seen this blog on how to model it ?

Limit hierarchical columns

Is there a way to limit the depth of hierarchical columns in an analysis?
I have a product group hierarchy, very basic:
total > group > subgroup
Using this hierarchical column in an analysis, I get the default behaviour in which one can drill all the way to the lowest level:
+ total
    + group 1
        subgroup 1
    + group 2
However, the requirement of the report is only to support this behaviour to the group level, thus showing only the total and group level.
+ total
    group 1
    group 2
I tried to fix this changing the Column Properties of the hierarchical column. Halas, setting the interaction to None removes the +'es of all levels in the report, while changing the column property interaction to none on group level (still in the criteria, unfolding the hierarchical column gives access to a Column Properties dialog for every level separately) seems to have no effect at all.
I suppose this could be done by creating a second hierarchy in the business layer that excludes the lowest level. But one would expect this to be implementable as well in the analysis itself.

Hello Vj,
I guess 11.1.1.5.5 is a bug.

Conditionally setting drill paths in RPD

Hi All,
Have any one worked on designing a repository which provides GL information and can drill to subsequent Sub-Ledger(AR,AP,Inv,Assets,...etc) information. Based on Je_Source and Je_category in gl_je_headers user should conditional drill to sub-ledger dimension tables.
Can conditional drill paths be set in RPD level or is there any way of accomplishing this by data warehouse designing.
Can any one help me on this.
Thank you

When you are using the metadata(rpd) drill you cant do that. Unfortunately the easy way to do that is to navigate but you will end up creating more reports and if your drill down is deep then I understand it will real mess. I heard that this is also addressed in 11g but as far as i know compound layout cannot be changed in the drill downs.
I will be glad if i am wrong.
Thanks

How to make column range based on a column in Oracle BI 11g

Hello everyone!
I want to know, how to make column range from a column in oracle bi 11g.
for example!
I have a column amounts and I want to build on this with other values of quantity, other column range 1-9,10-49,50-99,100-249, 249 o more.
regards!
when I try to make the range I have error.
Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT CASE WHEN "CUBO_DEEE_TAB"."CANTIDAD" BETWEEN 1 AND 9 THEN 1 a 9 ELSE "CUBO_DEEE_TAB"."CANTIDAD" END FROM "DM_DEEE"

You cannot add columns dynamically. But you can define a maximum number of numbers and then hide unused columns in your form useing SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(..,VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);

Collapse action doesn't work when several hierarchical columns in a report

Hello everyone!
I have an analysis which contains 6 hierarchical columns. And the problem is that for the 5th and 6th columns collapse doesn't work. I can easily expand the column, but I can't collapse it back. The first four columns are collapsing fine. Is there a bug which describes this?
I'm using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7. Tried to check this issue in Mozilla and IE - collapse didn't work in neither of them.

It doesn't work here either. After checking the italicized bit below, I see that it doesn't work when called by an application either. It looks like a bug.
Here's the fix I found here. Put it in the automator action "run Applescript"
http://bbs.applescript.net/viewtopic.php?id=15292
on run {input, parameters}
--Pop Box
display dialog "Automator hosed me with a bug, so I'm making you wait for 5 secs with delicious Applescript." giving up after 5
return input
end run
The non-working solution :P
One suggestion - split the workflow into two (or more) parts.
1. Open Finder Items with Default Application
2. Ask for Confirmation
3. Run Workflow
4. Wait for User Action
5. Open Finder Items with Specific Application
Save the first as an app, the second as a workflow.

Sort order and hierarchical columns

I have a report with a hierarchical column (say total, country, city), another dimension (say outdated, actual, undecided) and a measure. In the report should show the results grouped, sorted by the hierarchical column. So i configured the report to be sorted by column one.
But if i click on the + in front of total, i get
+ total actual 200
...... outdated 400
...... undecided 700
+france         actual          150
+germay        actual          50
+france         outdated     300
+germany      outdated     100
+france         undecided    300
+germany      undecided    400
instead of
+total actual          200
...... outdated 400
...... undecided 700
+ france actual 150
...... outdated 300
...... undecided 300
+ germany actual 50
...... outdated 100
...... undecided 400
Is there a possibility to get the second version?
Thanks
Martin

Ok, this one is on me. The reason for this behaviour is:
The country field has a sort field defined, but (we are still in development) this is allways zero, therefore OBI sorts by zero and assumes, the column is sorted now...

Error when including hierarchical column in repot

Hi All,
I am getting following error [nQSError: 42039] Columns in BY clause of REPORT totalling function must be in select list. (HY000) when i include the Hierarchical column, Is it something i should set for it.
Thanks,

Hi,
Problem was not with hierarchy column, but with another column which i used to sort the entire report on (fiscal_priod_number), and fiscal_period_number column was in excluded section in the pivot, once i dragged the column to pivot section and hide it from colum properties hide property report is functioning normally, This is something intresting behaviour, and this happens only with reports which use hierarchy column.
