Hierarchy Prompt In 11g

How can I pass values from Hierarchy prompt to report?
If I do not want to use Hierarchy in report.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For your requirement, you need to go for Selection steps pane in the analysis. Click on steps link and then add the hierarchy column that you want to use and expand the hierarchy to the lowest level. Now select all these and all the attributes will now appear in the other side.
If you dont expand the hierarchy to the lowest level, then only the top values will be appeared in your selection at prompt.
Also make sure to check the override option, this helps in filtering the values.

Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have an Issue with Implementing Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g. I understand that Filters on Hierarchy Prompts can be applied in Selection steps and cannot be viewed in the Physical Query as such. However, what happens is, the Hierarchy prompt only gets applied when the hierarchy is displayed in the report.It is not applied even when it is present in the excluded section. So, it works only when it is displayed in the report. Is this correct? Is there any workaround for this?
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Regards,
Venkatesh

If the column set to prompt no matters what (column is present,or not, excluded or hidden) the prompt should work.
Check it again something might gone wrong.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

Parent Child Hierarchy in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
I am working on the parent child hierarchy in OBIEE 11g Source ESSBASE ..followed some of the blogs.
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-enhancements-to-essbase-support/
I followed the following steps.
1.Imported the Cubes from ESSBASE.
2.Selected Accounts Hirearchy and changed the Hierarchy type to Value.
3.Dragged the subject area to BMM and to Presentation.
4.Now when i checked the Account Hierarchy from in the dashboard its not drilling down.
If i change the Hierarchy type to Unbalanced ...then the Account hiearchy is working fine.
Is there is any settings or process i have to follow..inorder to implement the Value based Hierarchy in OBIEE 11G source ESSBASE.
Thanks

So basically this means that if I build a parent child hierarchy on table A having the stucture like
--David (Manager)
-----James (Off1)
--------Bill (Off2)
and in my sales fact table for let's say today, I have only rows for Bill (Off2) because he is the only officer who did the sales today. Now when I will join my fact table to parent child hierarchy table A I will NOT get any data ? because there is no James who is the parent of Bill. So obiee need to have parent pulled off in the data (ANCESTOR) to be able to roll up the child.(IS_LEAF = 1)
I testes this and if my data only contains only rows for Bill (or I limit on ROLE = Off2) then it won't show the hierarchy. The query which OBIEE fires is to look for either ANCESTOR_KEY = NULL OR (DISTANCE = 1 AND ANCESTOR KEY IN (Bill). Therefore it doesn't I am wondering then what is the use of builiding the parent child hierarchy when we need to pull in all the ancestors (like in this case James for bill and David for james) because in real scenarios there can be cases wherein we would want to filter the data based on other dimensions to which the parent child hierarchy joins ?

Problem on a table with hierarchy prompt

Hi experts,
I have an unusual error when I'm using hierarchy prompt.
I make an analysis that it has two hierarchycal columns (One of this is to show on rows of my table, another is to get filter when I choose options with hierarchycal dashboard prompt)
My table looks like this:
+Level1
...+Level1.1
...+Level1.2
+Level2
...+Level2.1
etc.
If I drill down by Level1.1, it's drilldown fine and it shows childs of Level1.1, now comes my issue... With Level1.1 Opened (seeing childs of level 1.1), if I click to drilldown level1.2 I have an error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Syntax error in input MDX query on line 8 at token 'filter' (HY000)
So...My problem exists when I want to drilldown with diferent ways.
If I delete hierarchycal column that is prompted in my dashboard...I can drill down perfectly... but I can't to delete this hierarchycal column because my customer needs that hierarchycal prompt.
Anybody can help me???
Thanks!

Sure,
Can u send a test mail to this user id
[email protected]...will look into ur issue.
Thanks

How to use Hierarchy Prompt

Hi all,
I want to filter my request based on the value chosen from a hierarchy prompt. I know that a filter on a hierarchy prompt can be applied in selection step by selecting "Override with Prompt". However, the hierarchy prompt filter only seems to be applied as long as the hierarchy object is displayed in the request itself. Even when moving the hierarchy to the Excluded section, the filter is no longer applied.
In my case it really is useless to expect the user to select a value from the hierarchy prompt and then again display the value they've just chosen in the report.
Is this expected behavior? Is there any workaround?

Hi,
We faced same issue in our previous project. I dont remember if we retained the same.
It is really a problem as we can't assign a presentation variable also to Hierarchy prompt.
Try this: Place the hierarchy column in prompt section of your view. You can apply master detail event from the prompt to report. Hide the view prompt(If you click on the drop down, you will have the option called hidden).

OBIEE Issue with Hierarchy Prompt

Hi,
I am using a Hierarchy Prompt to select a member from a Hierarchy column whose members come from a essbase cube.
I set a presentation variable *"Select_Cliente"* to the prompt and set the filter to a column like "Gen3,Cliente - Default is equal to / is in *@{Select_Cliente}*"
The issue occurs when someone enter to the dashboard and select a member in the Hierarchy Prompt and clicks in "Apply". The Analysis shows the following error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

The problem is that the selected member is filter with a lot of caracters that not apply. The selected member is underlined.
The version of the OBIEE is 11.1.1.6.9.
Thanks for the help.

Switch the filter in the criteria part of the target report into Advanced SQL Filter, then type your filter with that kind of syntax : "Period"."Period - Default" = '@{var_per}{P3}' and it should work
P.S. if you want to have multiple elements in the prompt selection, then use instead this syntax : "Period"."Period - Default" IN (@{var_per}['@']{'P3'})

System-Wide Formatting not applied to Dashboard Column Prompt in 11g

In OBIEE 11g, I have a dashboard column prompt with a date column. I use this column in the analysis and have made the column properties (formatting) a system-wide default for that column.
When I use the column in a dashboard column prompt, it does not show this formatting.
Any ideas why it might not work?

So from what I understand about your question, the system wide default data format you have set for the date column is not following the same format when you use it as a dashboard column prompt. The system wide format only applies for analysis purposes and not for prompts in 11g.

BO 4.0: Hierarchy prompts

Hi,
We are currently trying to schedule reports using the dsws api.
We have problems with reports containing hierarchy prompt. We are able to retrieve information about the first level can't go any deeper.
The only information we found concerning hierarchy prompts is outdated : http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxir2sp2/en/en/WS_SDK/wssdk_consumer/doc/wssdk_dg/DevelopingConsumerWebApps54.html
Any suggestion why promptsToBeFilled would always be empty after the first prompt level?
Thank you.

Hello.
Did you find a solution for this?
We have the same issue: promptstoBeFilled is not returned when a report data provider is using UNX universe and exists when report is using UNV universe.
Thank you

No data returned when optional hierarchy prompt is filled in.

Hi,
I have created a query in Query Designer with an optional hierarchy node variable on Profit Center in the characteristic restrictions.
When I create my report in Crystal, the prompt on Profit Center arise with the option Set To Null marked on. When I keep this option marked, I get the correct data.
But when I enter a Profit Center node into the prompt, I receive no data, even when the entered data exists in the database.
What do I have to enter in a hierarchy prompt? I've tried with the key, the name, the node ID, the parent node ID...
Are there any special options or things I have to focus on in query designer or CR to get this thing working?
Lieven

Hi,
what i was trying to say -run the query in sql developer or whatever ide u r using.
If u get data for both null and value entered then check in database expert(in reports) if there is any link..
I hope u got the right meaning previously.

Dashboard prompt on a Dimension Hierarchy in Obiee 11g

Hi All,
I have created a hierarchy (parent-child) on a dimension 'A'. I am able to create a dashboard prompt for the dimension hierarchy. However I am not sure how to create a report that is to be filtered on this dashboard prompt. I tried using the attribute name that the hierarchy uses but that does not work. Can some one please let me know how i can filter a report by a hierarchy dimension prompt.
Thanks,
Nikita

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 .

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.
Thanks,

Issue with Skip Level Hierarchy in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have implemented Ragged and Skip Level Hierarchy as explained in the links below in OBIEE 11g RPD.
(checked the 'Ragged' and 'Skipped Levels' check boxes)
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-support-for-ragged-skip-level-value-based-hierarchies/
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/e10540/dimensions.htm#BABFBBFG
When the Presentation Hierarchy is dragged in the OBI Answers, the leaf level beyond the skip (null) levels is not shown in the report.
When any level finds intermediate null values, OBIEE is failing to show the existing value of the leaf level (Most Granular Level) or any values after Skipped Levels.
For example, following is the values in database for different levels of department hierarchy.
A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F
The OBIEE Presentation Hierarchy can only drill down till C, not beyond that. (does not show the leaf level value 'F').
Could you please suggest whether I am missing any step?
Thanks.

Hi, My problem is that in my report it is showing me that levels as -- A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F, however I want to show data as A -> B -> C -> F, i.e the null valus(columns) should be skipped. Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Deepak

Issue with Presentation Hierarchy in obiee 11g

Hi Guru's
I am using a presentation hierarchy in obiee 11 g, but it is behaving weirdly when expanding the hierarchy
for example i have a hierarchy for languages when i expand one country in the hierarchy all the countries which has similar childs are getting expanded
for Example Parent A B C D
under A i have 1, 2,3,4, under B i have 5,6,7,8 under C i have 9, 10 ,11, 12 under D i have 1, 13, 14, 15
so when i expand A in answers D is also getting expanded as i have 1 as common value in both the parents.
can some please help me how to fix this, as the user does not like this expansion
Thanks in advance,

That is strange... I downloaded the files from the left hand side of this page:
[Sample Application site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html]
... the title states quiite clearly that the Sample Application (Build 825) applies to OBIEE release 11g.

Preaggregation across value based hierarchy dimension in 11g

Hi All,
I have created a cube with 6 dimensions in olap 11g. One of those six dimensions has only one hierarchy which is value based hierarchy. I have chosen level based aggregation as I know at what levels exactly users are going to query. When I was going through the dimensions to choose levels to preaggregate I noticed there were no options available for my value based hierarchy dimension ( I could see "all" option for the same case in 10g) then I tried to look for definitions of underlying objects just to make sure it will preaggregate data across my value based hierarchy dimension.
I found value set corresponding to my value based hierarchy dimension in <CUBE NAME>SOLVEAGGMAP object , which AWM uses to decide which dimension values to preaggregate but if I do rpr on that value set (rp r<CUBE NAME>SOLVE<DIMENSION NAME>_PVSET) it shows NA so my question is can I pre aggregate across value based hierarchy dimension in olap 11g?
Olap Version: 11.2.0.1
AWM version: 11.2.0.1
Thanks

Even if you know exactly which levels your users will query, percent based precompute (e.g. 30%) may still be faster in practice because queries are returned using 'sparse looping' instead of 'dense looping'. This was the single biggest performance advantage of 11g over 10g.
But if you still want to use level based precompute, then you should look at the XML template for the cube (as saved by AWM, for example). In it you should find something called PrecomputeCondition. This defines the set of members that are precomputed. Here is an example I just created using the GLOBAL schema
<PrecomputeCondition>
<![CDATA[
"TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH", "TIME".CALENDAR_QUARTER, "TIME".CALENDAR_YEAR),
CHANNEL LEVELS (CHANNEL.TOTAL_CHANNEL, CHANNEL.CHANNEL),
CUSTOMER LEVELS (CUSTOMER.MARKET_SEGMENT, CUSTOMER.REGION, CUSTOMER.SHIP_TO),
PRODUCT LEVELS (PRODUCT.CLASS, PRODUCT.FAMILY, PRODUCT.ITEM)]]>
</PrecomputeCondition>The PrecomputeCondition is also visible through the USER_CUBES view.
SELECT PRECOMPUTE_CONDITION
FROM USER_CUBES
WHERE CUBE_NAME = 'MY_CUBE';You can hand modify this condition in the XML to specify an alternative 'non level based' precompute condition for any dimension. For example, if you define an attribute named 'SHOULD_PRECOMPUTE' on your PRODUCT dimension that is 1 for members to be precomputed and 0 for all others, then you can change the condition as follows.
<PrecomputeCondition>
<![CDATA[
"TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH", "TIME".CALENDAR_QUARTER, "TIME".CALENDAR_YEAR),
CHANNEL LEVELS (CHANNEL.TOTAL_CHANNEL, CHANNEL.CHANNEL),
CUSTOMER LEVELS (CUSTOMER.MARKET_SEGMENT, CUSTOMER.REGION, CUSTOMER.SHIP_TO),
PRODUCT WHERE PRODUCT.SHOULD_PRECOMPUTE = 1]]>
</PrecomputeCondition>If you recreate the cube from the XML with this condition, then the PVSET valueset you discovered should contain all dimension members for which the attribute value is 1.   This gives you complete control over what is precomputed.   Note that AWM doesn't support this form of condition, so it won't show up if you go to the Precompute tab, but it is valid for the server. The PL/SQL below will modify the PrecomputeCondition (for the cube named MYCUBE) without going through AWM.
begin
dbms_cube.import_xml(q'!
<Metadata
Version="1.3"
MinimumDatabaseVersion="11.2.0.2">
<Cube Name="MY_CUBE">
    <Organization>
      <AWCubeOrganization>
        <PrecomputeCondition>
          <![CDATA[
           "TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH","TIME".CALENDAR_QUARTER, "TIME".CALENDAR_YEAR),
           CHANNEL LEVELS (CHANNEL.TOTAL_CHANNEL,CHANNEL.CHANNEL),
           CUSTOMER LEVELS (CUSTOMER.MARKET_SEGMENT,CUSTOMER.REGION,CUSTOMER.SHIP_TO),
           PRODUCT WHERE PRODUCT.SHOULD_PRECOMPUTE = 1]]>
        </PrecomputeCondition>
      </AWCubeOrganization>
