Hierarchy functions and OLAP

Hi,
In 11.1.1.5, did anyone succesfully use hierarchy navigation functions "IsDescendant" or "IsChild" in derived logical column mapped to OLAP dimension?
What works for me:
- "IsLeaf" function for both OLAP and relational db
- "IsDescendant" / "IsChild" only for relational db
I tried to use "IsDescendant" / "IsChild" in column formula ("Derived from existing column using an expression") and refer to value based hierarchy in OLAP cube. My expression is:
CASE WHEN Ischild("OLAP_TEST"."ORG_STR" , 18158) Then 1 Else 0 End
In Analytics I get error message: ORA-34492: Analytic workspace object MAIN_HIERARCHY does not exist.
Correct me if I'm wrong but error message seems irrelevant, because I can succesfully use "IsLeaf" function on the same OLAP logical dimension.
I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or it's a bug.

WebI issue with hierarchy display and aggregation

Trying to wrangle what looks like a defect in WebI's handling of hierarchy display and aggregation. We just completed an update cycle and are running BOBJ 4.1 SP4.
The hierarchy is a standard FM Commitment Item hierarchy in which both the nodes and leaves are Commitment Items (i.e. it uses InfoObject nodes, not text nodes). An example of one of these nodes looks like this in BW:
Cmmt_Item A - Node
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf
Let's pretend Commitment Item A has $50 posted to it, B has $20 and C has $30. Analysis for OLAP handles this by adding a virtual leaf line to distinguish postings that are on the parent node like so:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Leaf    $50
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
So you see both the total for the node ($100) and a line for each Commitment Items with KFs posted to them. Our users like this. They can easily see the aggregation and the breakdown.
WebI, on the other hand, will display it like this:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
It doesn't create a separate line for the value of the parent node, but it does add it's value into the aggregate. Twice. Modifying the table with the 'avoid duplicate row aggregation' checkbox yields output like this:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
Cmmt_Item A - Node        $50
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
We're about halfway there. While the top row now shows the correct aggregation and it creates a new line to show the distinct amount on the parent node, that new line appears on the same level as the parent. It's no longer clear that there's an aggregate and a breakdown. And attempting to expand or contract a node will now crash the report with one of those 'Error 16' messages.
Has anyone encountered this issue with hierarchies in WebI? This report was built from scratch in 4.1, so I'm not sure if this affects older versions or not. Or if it would affect any hierarchy that uses InfoObject nodes instead of text nodes.

Without a fix, the simplest workaround I can think of would be to restructure the hierarchy. It can't use postable nodes, so Cmmt_Item A - Node from my example would need to be converted into a text node and the postable characteristic added as a child on the same level as the B and C leaves.
This looks like it would affect anyone using hierarchies with postable nodes in a WebI report.
Another oddity in WebI's behavior here - even though the postable nodes show incorrect sums the sum at the root node is correct. So extending my examples from the original post:
Root Node                    $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
        Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
        Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30

Hierarchy function could not complete coz of missing space

Hi All,
Iam having a issue "<b>Hierarchy function could not complete because of missing space</b>" when iam expanding a hierarchy( with 37k lines) in report, rest of the hierarchies( with 34k, 36k lines) are fine.
Even that hierarchy in question working fine after i refresh query, its giving that problem after few refreshes again.
Can any body please advice me why this one happening like this.
Regards
Robyn.

Hi,
A couple of things I would check here :
Try the same thing using the web and see if the behaviour is the same. This is to elimate that the excel is causing the problem. Second try to observe the system activity in both cases, when its working fine and the other when its not refreshing properly. Hierarchies do tend to take time in reporting depending on the data.
Also check the cache settings and temp table space. You can work with basis to see if the temp table space needs to be extended.
In addition, have multiple users try running the report and check how the hierarchy is behaving.
Cheers,
Kedar

Hierarchy drag and drop

hi,
according to sap note 314568, the hierarchy Drag and Drop in the web gui does not work now and there are no plans for it in the future, as
of now.
however, The application provides equivalent keyboard operations
for all mouse operations (including Drag & Drop), which is
supported by ITS / SAP GUI for HTML.
would anyone know how this is done? what's an alternate way for drag and drop in the web gui.
thank you

This is not possible using Standard BI web functionality.
If you are an expert with JavaScript and BI Web APIs you can probably write JS code to do this.

Does Information Designer Tools's aggregate awareness function support OLAP

Hi...
Does Information Designer Tools's aggregate awareness function support OLAP ??
Thanks

To see which ODBC function DG4ODBC is looking for and unixODBC isn't supporting it would be best to get an ODBC trace file. But as your unixODBC driver (unixODBC-2.2.11-10.el5) is outdated and these old drivers had a lot of issues when being used on 64bit operating systems (for example wrong sizeofint etc). So best would be to update the unixODBC Driver manager to release 2.3.x. More details can be found on the web site: www.unicodbc.org

BW-Query with hierarchy variable and webi-prompt

Hi,
I think I've got a quite simple question.
I've got a SAP-BW-Query and a hierarchy variable, and some none hierarchy variables.
All Variables work in the webi-prompt.
For the none hierarchy variables I've got the chance to search for values in the LOV, but I can't search for
values in the hierarchies.Can I enable this function to search?
Kind regards
Lars

Hi
I post the error once again. I made an easier query and i saw that last time the forum did some strange things.
A database error occured. The database error text is: Die MDX-Abfrage
SELECT { [Measures].[DC59N8GR349ETCCV3ZHIFFWGC] } ON COLUMNS
FROM [ZTESTM01/Z_ZTESTM01_TEST5_VARIABLE]
SAP VARIABLES [!V000002] INCLUDING [0FISCPER].[V62009001]
konnte nicht ausgeführt werden. Fehler Specify a value for variable
MMEP_FISCPER. (WIS 10901)
The query runs perfect in RSRT.
When i put the statement
SELECT
{ [Measures].[DC59N8GR349ETCCV3ZHIFFWGC] } ON COLUMNS
FROM [ZTESTM01/Z_ZTESTM01_TEST5_VARIABLE]
SAP VARIABLES [!V000002] INCLUDING [0FISCPER].[V62009001]
in MDXTEST, it gives a result.

OLTP and OLAP

Hi,
If I have a OLTP DB and also a DB for Datawarehouse and I want to generate
reports on daily basis, why is it beneficial to bring the data to the datawarehouse and then generate the report and not directly from the Oltp?
I do not require any significant bulk transformation of the data.
Thanks,
MD

Hi there,
The answer to the question you ask very much depends upon your individual situation.
Sometimes, it is possible to do reporting directly on top of the OLTP if the reporting requirements are simple and the performance of the OLTP is not a critical factor.
However, in many organisations, the OLTP is a critical part of the function of the business and it's performance cannot be compromised by having additional users running reports. Also, most OLTP systems do not structure the data optimally for analytical type queries meaning that such queries either perform badly (and therefore effect the performance of the OLTP even more), or cannot be performed at all.
Datawarehouses and OLAP cubes do structure the data optimally for analytic query meaning the performance and range of functions available are greatly improved.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

I have just sought to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

Hi there
I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these. Instead it just took me to the
adobe page with nowhere visible to update. I then sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
functionality It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe.
I have since remedied the problem as my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that. I do feel that this is a bit
of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.

Hierarchy Function Modules (or Methods)?

I am trying to retrieve all hierarchies, and their children nodes, below a main node. Is there a function module in SEM/BCS for doing this?
Are there other function modules that come in handy with hierarchies?
      Thank-You.

There isn't a single FM that I'm aware of. You can piggy back the standard BCS functionality and acheive something similar.
You need to know period, year, version and fiscal year variant.
Then...for this structure:
CG1
- CG2
- CG3
- - CG4
you can pass CG1 as your "parent" and retreive CG2, CG3, and CG4 as selections (according to date-from date-to in your CG master data).
I'll try to include the relevant section for this (it's from a number of methods in a class I created for an outbound interface)....I'm sure I don't have all the data declarations, and I might have a few unnecessary sections.

Hope that helps...if not, you might be able to do a find for some of the sections of the code to find exactly how SAP is doing (I can only say that this functionality worked in my situation, not sure it works in all consolidation scenarios). FYI - I was using this to read from the virtual cube in a custom task in order to outbound consolidated results.

HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match. i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain. is this going to screw my wifes account up?

If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

I would like to put Dreamweaver 8 on a new computer. There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this?

There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this? How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer? Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version. What are the killer features I'm missing?

If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

Hello Kumar,
Have you uploaded the SAP text and object files? Upload them first and then try to upload functions.
