Hierarchy columns in prompts

Hi,
When using a hierarchical column (parent-child type) in a prompt the underlying reports must have this column physically included and the hierarchy column must also be included in the graph/table or else it will not be filtered when a value is set in the prompt. This is very frustrating because I don't want to show the hierarchy value in graphs or summary tables, but I want to use the parent-child hierachy col. because it contains the organization and is therefore crucial and highly wanted functionality from users/customers.
I have several times tried to "force" Oracle to look at this as a bug, but they have a hard time to approve this.
Am I the only one that look at this as lack of functionality in OBIEE 11g?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You need to write the below code in the prompt->Choice List Values(11 g)->SQL Results
    SELECT Hier_column_name FROM subject_area_name where rank(measure_column_name)<10
    I had tried this and works. Award points if problem got resolved.

  • No data for Parent-child hierarchy column in Pivot table view

    Hi all,
    I used OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 Version.
    I drag one Parent-child hierarchy column and one measure and show result with a pivot table view.
    But when I click "+" icon to show detail level data,
    It messaged that: "*the layout of this view combined with the data,selections,drills,or prompt values chosen resulted in no data*."
    But it can show every-level data when I used table view.
    It was so strange..
    Did anybody meet this before?
    Thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Anne

    Hi,
    Yes, I have the same problem with pivot table for hierarchy dimension.
    If you use a normal table (not pivot) it seem to work. Unfortunatley with restrictions as normal table view have.
    Same problem still exist in 11.1.1.6.5
    I have logged a SR to Oracle about this.

  • Problem in Hierarchy column

    Hi All,
    Currently working in OBIEE 11g, I have kept product hierarchy column ( Product Total - > Product Group -> Product Sub Group -> Product Detail ) as dashboard prompt,
    created graph with the following columns product hierarchy in report prompt level and In selection steps i have given keep only detail level and
    while running dashboard, when i select group level ini product hierarchy the graph is showing all the products under that group.
    But when i select one group level and another group detail level, the graph is showing only second group detail level Not the first.
    My requirement is to show the detail level in both group.
    Thanks in advance,
    GN

    Hi,
    If you have created the dimension hierarchy then you need to go to the RPD and open the fact table in bmm layer. And go to the third tab 'Content' and see if the dim hierarchy is mapped. And make it as detail or the lowest level for your hierarchy in the drop down.
    Check Consistency and restart services and check the data.
    Hope this helps

  • OBIEE 11g - Navigation from Hierarchy Column

    Hi Experts,
    I have created one Organization Hierarchy (Country --> Region --> State --> City) in the Logical Layer of the rpd and pull that hierarchy with the dimension in the Presentation Layer. In the new analysis I have created dashboard prompt with the Organization hierarchy and created a report showing Total Headcount column and Organization Hierarchy column (using selection steps feature in OBIEE 11g).
    Now when I select Region from the dashboard prompt, in the report it is showing me total headcount according to my region selected in the prompt, but when I tried to navigate from the Total Headcount to see the list of employees in that particular region, I am not able to see the list of employees belonging that particular region rather it is showing me the list of total employees at the Country level.
    PS - In the navigation report I am prompting Country, Region, State and City from the Organization dimension, but I am not able to prompt Country, Region, State and City from the hierarchy column which is there in the Organization dimension.
    Please Help.

    Hi,
    You need to create the drill down report also using selection steps. I tried the drill down was working fine.
    Thanks

  • Hiding a hierarchy column in graph view

    Hi All,
    In an compound layout I would like to have pivot view and bar chart view.
    There are two hierarchy columns in criteria. These column should display in pivot view.
    My requirement is to hide the hierarchy columns in Bar chart view and can we apply separate selection steps for each view.
    Kindly help me..
    Thanks,
    Haree

    Hi,
    Edit the pivot table and graph and at the below you can see the selection steps for the individual components. So that you can give separately for each of the components.

  • OBIEE 11g after expand Hierarchy Columns move the page to where the expand was clicked

    Hi,
    I have a question about expanding the hierarchy columns.
    I have made so that some information are only show when press the + sign to expand extra information.
    The problem I am having is that when the + sign is pressed to expand the content, the whole page get refresh and move back to the top of the page.
    Is there a way to stay where the screen was after expanding, instead of going back to the top of page?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Niraj,
    I think you are on 11.1.1.5 + version here. Now, that you have two security realms configured (one for AD and one default), please add one more parameter virtualize = true in the EM (just the page where you added user.name etc).
    This parameter would help BI Server recognize the two realms set up here.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,

  • Can we have a Hierarchy in the Prompt of webi? promot as key-text?

    Hello all,
    Can we have a Hierarchy in the Prompt of webi? We are using Fund Center hierarchy and the user wants to select the top node to get all the nodes under it in hierarchies?
    Also along same lines can we display the Long text and Key ofthe FUnd center in prompt (hierarchy or not)
    Thanks in advance for all the replies.

    Hi david, Gowtham
    Thanks for the replies. I was able to get a hierarchy in the prompt. I created mandatory hierarchy variable in the bex query which is feeding the universe and it automatically came over as hierarchy. I am still not able to get how would you create cascade on same object, I understand the market and region (2 different object) example. So if you can please explain.
    With that said I still am not sure how you would display your prompt with description of objects rather than technical names. Any insight on that please?
    Thanks a lot

  • Re-sizing hierarchy column in ALV Tree

    Hi all,
    I have created a class inheriting from CL_GUI_ALV_TREE that is used to create a Tree structure for Equipment.....
    Now my requirement is that the Hierarchy column should be re-sized based on the width of the node text.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.....

    You can control the size of the hierarchy column by setting the following field:
    *Set the width as follows
      g_hierarchy_header-width = 200.
    *Reference the g_hierarchy_header structure when calling the following method
      CALL METHOD tree1->set_table_for_first_display

  • How to expand the hierarchy column automatically when delivery reports by a

    Hi Experts,
    In OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0,how to expand the hierarchy column automatically when delivery reports by agent?
    For example:
    In SampleLite RPD, when we drag "Time Hierarchy" and Sales column into the report , and sent it by agent ,it will only display "Total" sales, not show all level value,such as Year,Month,Day.So how to expand the hierarchy column automatically when delivery reports by agent?
    If we expand all levels and save them, it will be ok, however, when we add new data, it will be collpased automatically and not show the lowest level data, requiring Users or Developer to modify this report for expanding the hierarchy. We think it is very trouble, is there any good suggestion or method for achieving our requirement?

    Hi Dpka,
    Is it any difference? I look at the result is same.
    Firstly, you said it is 'Add member of ',
    Now, you said it is 'Keep member of'
    Could you please tell me which options I must select ? Thanks very much.Here is some notes from the documentation to make a better sense of how those two options would work:
    •Selection steps — When you create selection steps, you can add a group or a calculated item in a step. Subsequent Keep Only or Remove steps might reference members that were included in the group or calculated item.
    ◦A group list is affected by members that are kept or removed in subsequent steps, but the group outline value remains the same. For example, suppose the MyNewYork group contains Albany and Buffalo and its value is 100. Suppose Albany is removed in a later step. The value of the MyNewYork group remains at 100, but Albany is no longer listed with the group.
    ◦A calculated item is not affected by members that are kept or removed in subsequent steps, because removals can affect the components of the formula.
    •Groups and calculated items — A step can include a group or calculated item. Groups and calculated items can be used only with Add steps; they cannot be used in Keep Only or Remove steps.

  • Master Detail Link Between Hierarchy column and graph

    Hi all,
    I have created report using hierarchy columns of project dimension.
    Project total -> Project Group -> Project subgroup ->Project Name
    When I click Project Group of hierarchy column , Graph has to change with respect to that column.
    Help me as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance,
    Haree.
    Edited by: Haree on Mar 21, 2012 6:57 PM

    Hi,
    Check if you are using the following types of views for the detail views:
    -Graph
    -Funnel graph
    -Gauge
    -Table
    -Pivot table
    A detail view:
    -Can listen for master-detail events from multiple master views
    -Can be in the same analysis as the master view or in a different analysis
    -Cannot act as a master to another view
    NOTE: Please mention if this resolved your problem/still facing and close the thread to assist others with similar problems.

  • Total levels on pivot with dimension hierarchy column incorrect

    Hi,
    I have a pivot table based on a single subject area, based on an Essbase cube.
    The problem I have is that some of the totals against the collapsed dimension hierarchy column are incorrect, it is as if they remember the pre-updated state, even though I have bounced the services and turned all caching off.
    When I expand the node then the totals appear correctly, but when reverted to the collapsed state it shows nothing again.
    I have turned off caching via EM.
    I have tried all flavours of totals, default, server complex aggregate et al with the same result for all.
    I have double checked the results at source with an identical query in SmartView and the upper level dimension total is populated in its own right, as well as its children carrying totals which do not sum back to zero.
    Any suggestions please??
    thanks,
    Robert.

    Can you validate the query hitting to the database and compare the results?
    Mark if helps.
