Hierarchy Level Limit in BPC 5.1 Reports

Hello,
We are currently running BPC 5.1 SP7 and have a Account Hierarchy that has 15 levels. In the standard trend report, the control panel contains a drop-down list for rows and columns but is limited to 9 levels.
So we found the following formula in the row/column expansion and changed cell F21 which references the drop-down list of levels to "15".
=IF($F$26="ON",EVEXP($C$17,$F$19,C47:C58,D47:P58,TRUE,$C$2,$F$21,F22,$E$2),"OFF")
1. Is it ok to retrieve data at 15 levels down?
2. Does it slow down reporting? Is there any negative impact of doing this?
3. Is there a limit on the number of levels that a hierarchy can have?
We understand that we need to re-save all of these templates again in the wizard folder and increase the template version to trigger a download of the update.
Thank You,
Nikunj

Limits of Hierarchy Levels for the dimension are bound by the size of the table (at least in the SQL version). So, if you have many levels, this plus the number of properties and their size will determine the amount of space taken up in the SQL table, which if exceeded, will drop the information.
So, the answer is; No there isn't a limit, and it should not slow your performance, but "YES" the is a limit depending on the size of the dimension components. There may still be a dimension calculator for size in the HELP files in the Admin console in version 5.1.
Hope this helps.

Hierarchy Level in report

Hi GURUS,
I have a requirement in report i.e. I need to display the Hierarchy level from the 4th level only, I do not want to see the first 3 levels, where do I do the settings for that in reporting.
I was told that there can be some settings done in Hierarchy tab of that info object in report level in Values of Posted Nodes. But even that option is disabled. If this is the way I need to do it then how to enable that option or if there is a different option then would appreciate if you explain me in detail. Thanks in advance.

Hi ganesh,
for this same as normal procedure.. but in BEX analyser.. in the query designer window properties.. I mean select ur hierarchy and right click and > select Ristrict-> and there you can select particular level of nodes only...
so, there you can select all fourth level nodes..and drag and drop it into right side window... and save it.. and execute the query..
so, now you can get only Fourth level nodes only in the reporting level...
i think this will helpfull to u..if it's ok ... Reward me points..
Thanks

Group a report based on a hierarchy level

Hi,
I'm struggling with a query that I'd like to group a report based on the selection of a hierarchy level.
Here's the situation: I've got a table with a "normal" hierarchy, say the EMP table from SCOTT with its EMPNO and MGR columns. What I'd like to have is a report that gives me the sum of the SAL column group by all members on a given hierarchy level. So fi, if I choose LEVEL = 1, Id like to see the overall total, if I choose LEVEL = 2, I'd like to see the sum of salary of all employees managed by this respective manager etc.
I know that there are possibilities to denormalize the table first and try to solve it from there, but what I'd like to know is whether anybody is aware of a more generic way to achieve that? What I could accept is a hard coded limitation of the number of nested levels, as this seems to be very hard to achieve in SQL.
In the real scenario, I'm using only balanced trees, so from that point of view, the reports will be consistent.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Jürgen

select l, sum(salary) from (SELECT last_name, employee_id, manager_id, salary, LEVEL l
FROM employees
START WITH employee_id = 100
CONNECT BY PRIOR employee_id = manager_id) where l > :input_level
group by l;

Drill in BW hierarchy level in webi based on input control selection

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in Webi. The Webi report is based on BW hierarchy and it is using hierarhcy both in the report output block and also in the report prompts. We are are BI 4.0 SP5,Patch 6. The report has input controls in it based on the BW Hierarchy. When the report is first executed,the user can drill down the hierarchy by clicking on the "+" nodes to the max level as shown in the screenshot below.
Now, when the user selects an input control, the data gets filtered but the hierarchy level automatically expands. In other words, when they select a data hierarchy showed in the input control the hierarchy in table is shown expanded and they want to see the hierarchy in the table close automatically.
So ideally its like this when a value from input control is selected.
Whereas the user wants it to be like this automatically on selecting a particular value from the input control and not in expanded form.
I'm aware of the Hierarchy depth function but that only takes us to a particular node based on depth and then doesn't allow further drilling after that.
Is there any setting in webi/bex about always keeping all sub nodes closed to prevent this expansion on selection of input control?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek

Just did some research on on this and the SAP best practice: The question itself is logically incorrect.
A report/table filter where there is a hierarchy may remove rows without respecting the hierarchy structure. For this reason, a filter can remove a parent node currently expanded and keep leaves or
nodes collapsed. To avoid returning an empty table in this case the system automatically expands the hierarchy in the block to shows the resulting members
Thats why it automoatically expands the hierarchy.
Closing this thread. Thanks.

How to only display specific members from dissimilar hierarchy levels?

Hi,
I have a Business Partner that routinely wants to build a report that displays members from dissimilar hierarchy levels. For example, she wants to display member "210_UNASSIGNED EXP/ACC" from level 8 and member "E090_ADVISOR SERVICES" from level 1. When she filters on just those two members, the reports displays as such:
She then must manually expand the "E020_CORPORATE AND EXECUTIVE" member 7 times to see "210_UNASSIGNED EXP/ACC":
Is there anyway to make her life easier and have the report display only the "210_UNASSIGNED EXP/ACC" member and the "E090_ADVISOR SERVICES" member, even though they are from different levels?
Thanks,
Michael J Titera
BI4.0 SP8.3
SQL Server 2012

Hello Michael
Displaying information from mixed hierarchy levels without the context of the parent members is a reporting workflow best suited to WebI and CR. The AOLAP content can be exported as an Analysis View and then this becomes a data source for WebI and CR.
Our previous product Voyager used to allow member selection from mixed levels without the context of parent members but it caused a lot of confusion and misinterpretation of the data, which is why we deliberately do not have it in AOLAP.
Worth noting that BI4.1 was a big release for AOLAP with many enhancements. One is "Expand to Level". So instead of having to click 7 times to expand the hierarchy, it now just requires one mouse right-click to do the same thing.

Ian

Hi Kart
thanks for your reply.... i have tried it but i am getting dim_level column blank ....
see the steps which i have followed:-
1) i have created three views on top of my times view( which is being created using my main time dimension ), i have created join on d_year of my d_date_year_level to times_view.d_year, d_quarter to d_date_quarter_level, d_monthno to d_date_monthno_level
2) after creating join in my physical layer with times_view... then i dragged all my three views to my fact table in BMM layer and removed all columns except dim_level.... in fact table source i created one inner join with time_view... in content tab i set the aggregation level to ltimes_view detail logical level.

Hierarchy Level value displayed in BEx Query

Is there a way to display the Hierarchy Level value (0, 1, 2, etc...) associated with each hierarchy level in BEx Query as a characteristic?
we are currently using the Crystal Reports function HierarchyLevel(GroupingLevel(GL Account Node id)) to display the level of the node (0, 1, 2, etc...). Is there something similar to this in BEx Query.
We would like to use this Level value to do groupings in Crystal Reports. When we try to create a Group, we can only create the groups on fields that are brought over in the BEx Query results.
Thanks --

Hi ,
Hierarchy level can be defined in Bex query as well.
In the query property there is option where you can say hierarchy active for that particular object.
Also you can define level upto which it can be active in initial display say 3 level
Also when you want to drill down further level 4,5 you can right click and select that particular level say 4 or 5 or 6.
If you want to display hierarchy flat there is no option in BW then to right code,but I heard in crystal report it will automatically display in fl;at version as well means
Level 0 level 1 ......KF1 KF2 etc.
Thanks and regards

Totals not Displaying at hierarchy Level.

Hi All,
There are 2 questions.:
1)I have a report G/L a/c wise profit center hierarchy report which shows as for this G/l ac this is the profit center hier and hence there corresponding currency key figure values.
I am nt able to c the total for each G/L account..The Totals Row gets displayed randomly after Some G/L Accounts.
Why is this??
2)When i drill down the hierarchy, it shows the Currency value only for the expanded level but in result row it displays as * (Star) ..I can C the Currency value as it gets Expanded, but in the totals i c as *..Please advice me on this to resolve this issue. Asap
Thanks

Dynamic hierarchy-level entering dashboard & drill-down

Hi there,
I have a requirement to create a report which, depending on the user that opens the report, needs to start at a specific level within an organisation hierarchy. Once the user has opened the report (which will be part of a dashboard), he should be able to drill-down the organisation hierarchy from his entry-point down. I've been able to create that report but when drilling-down it doesn't quite work. No matter at which level a user opens the report, when drilling it will drill-down immediately to the lowest level of the hierarchy, skipping (= not showing) intermediate levels.
Here are the details:
Organization hierarchy:
- Org_Level_0
- Org_Level_1
- Org_Level_2
- Org_Level_3
- Org_Level_4
- Org_Level_5
- Org_Level_6
- Org_Level_7
- Org_Level_8
Using an InitBlock each user is assigned it's a session variable ENTRY_LEVEL which contains the user's organization hierarchy level (i.e. '5'). For Testuser5 the session variable contains '5'.
I've created the report containing two columns:
- A dimension column called 'Organization'
- A measure column called 'Availability%'
In the dimension column I've entered the following formula:
CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='0' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_0"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='1' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_1"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='2' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_2"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='3' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_3"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='4' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_4"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='5' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_5"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='6' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_6"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='7' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_7"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='8' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_8"
END END END END END END END END END
In the Column properties/Column Format tab for the dimension column I've disabled Column Heading Interaction but I've set Value Interaction to 'Drill'.
When opening the report as Testuser5, the Dimension column shows the correct dimension object from that user: Org_Level_5. However when then clicking on the dimensionvalue, the next dimension displayed is Org_Level_8, instead of Org_level_6.
Any suggestion on how to obtain the desired result?
Thanks!
Edited by: The_Dutchman on Oct 7, 2009 5:31 PM

Check in the RPD in the BMM in the dimension wheater all levels have a key that is set to use for drill down. It seems that only Org_Level_8 (the last level, detail) has key - use for drill down checked. This allow columns on the level to be displayed when driiling from up level to the current one. So maybe this is a reason that you get only Org_Level_8 data when driiling from any level from the case statement.

Changing the dimension hierarchy level keys in RPD online mode caused issue

Hi,
We tried to correct the dimension hierarchy level keys and remove prefered drill path settings in the business model layer in RPD in online mode. However this caused all the reports and dashboards based off of this subject area to show incorrect, and/or restricted data. The physical query generated by the answers requests were also incorrect.
Even restarting the server and presentation services could not resolve the issue. Can someone please help us to understand what could have caused this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am not sure why the existing reports throw an error when I change the RPD dimension hierarchy level keys. Does anyone know how I resolve this issue.
This is urgent. Any help will be most appreciated.

Activated Hierarchy Level

Hi Everyone,
Need to show the Activated Hierarchy Level in the reporting header (Upper left corner of the Excel Sheet). Is there any way. I tried out the option of activating the display option if the "Value of Nodes" in the properties of the hierarchy. Do give me a suggestion.
Thank you,

Hi Marc,
In the query designer screen when you choose an hierarchy. In the Properties below it you have the option of choosing 'Expand to Level'. It gives a number by default. But you can change that also. so I want this number to be displayed in the Excel sheet with the Hierarchy 'Text' or 'Key' which ever option we choose. Hope I am clear.
Thank you..

Defining hierarchy level keys

Hi,
What is the best practice regarding the level keys (used in the hierarchy level for dimensions)?
I had a problem with the numbers shown because the level key contained values with a mix of letters and numbers. If the level key only contains letters or numbers it worked as it should, but once there was a mix like this
0101
X010
the numbers for the balance sheet came out wrong (combined with a level based measure though).
To me it seems like the level keys ALLWAYS should be in Numbers but this is not stated anywhere. Only by experience. I have searched the forum for this but could not find any exact hit.

Hi,
I am not sure why the existing reports throw an error when I change the RPD dimension hierarchy level keys. Does anyone know how I resolve this issue.

Displaying all GL accounts according to hierarchy level(Based on ERGSL)

Hi all,
I have a requirement to display balance sheet and PL account for the given period...
1. I have to select all G L account numbers (BSEG-HKONT) with their amounts which belongs to same group (i.e. for those ERGSL value is same).
2.Display sum at each hierarchy level with respect to company codes.
From table FAGL_011ZC we can find the range of GL account (lower limit-VONKT upper limit-BISKT) and ERGSL using VERSN.
In T-code FSE2 we can see the hierarchy levels.
The table FAGL_011PC will get parent ane child relation ship for ERGSL.
I have to display all these GL accounts according to hierarchy leve.
please help me out in this regard.(if there any similer code it would be a great help).
Thank you all in advance!!!!

Hi Bhanu,
thanks for your fast response, but this did not help. To make it more clear:
Lets assume, I have the following hierarchy:
<Root>
|
+- Good Customers
| |
| +- Customer_A
| |
| +- Customer_B
|
+- Bad Customers
    |
    +- Customer_C
    |
    +- Customer_D
I have the customer in the free characteristics of a more complex query. I restricted it to the hierarchy node "Good Customers".
In the web template i use a "Dropdown Box" with the customer as the assigend characteristic and read mode "Dimension".
In this example the dropdown box would show the entries
- All values
- Customer_A
- Customer_B
But I would like to see the entries
- All values
- Good customers
I already tried various settings in the query definition concerning the display hierarchy of the customer char with no success yet.

Philipp
