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

  • Peoplesoft Trees as Hierarchial Columns in OBIEE 11g

    Sorry for a duplicate posting. Logged in as a normal user with random number. I know how much people hate it. Logged in as myself now.
    Hi,
    I have extensively searched using Google or 11g docs but could not find a proper solution to using Peoplesoft trees in form of hierarchial columns in obiee 11g. Can the rpd of obiee 11g be designed to view the Peoplesoft tree structure( as it is in Tree manager in Pplsoft) as hierachial columns in obiee 11g? I am sure hierarchial columns as a 11g feature are not just for visual representation in tree format but also can be viewed in Answers and queried against it,am I right?
    Anybody who has worked on trees and OBIEE 11g hierarchial columns? Ahsan/Navin??
    Thanks,
    Dan

    I have not used the 11g hierarchical columns for PSoft Trees but I can think of a glaring reason NOT to do this..PERFORMANCE. If I understand correctly, 11g issues a group by and Union as you traverse this type of structure and PeopleSoft trees have a number of tables to represent the actual TREE. I cannot possibly see how this can be effective especially with a large scale BI Apps DW? This is part of the reason the trees get flattened out via the OOTB ETL adaptors for PSoft.

  • Parent Child Hierarchy Issue in OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    I am in OBIEE 11G v6. I have a sales fact table where the grain is one sale. So I have one row for every sale done.
    Now I have a ragged employee hierarchy like this with David at the root node.
    David >>Richard>>Sean
    David >>James
    Also, I have a role dimension which gives me what role each employee has performed on a sale. Only one employee can be associated with one sale. This is the way Roles have been asssigned
    David = Manager
    Richard = Off1
    Sean = Off2
    James = Off2
    Both Sean and James can have same Roles. Now I have created a parent child hierarchy for my employee dimension and the closure table. Defined the member key, ancestor key relationship in the parent child setting etc.
    Now in the report when I pull the parent child hierarchy and the sales_amount in the report, it comes out perfect with all the ragged hierarchy resolved. But the issue comes when I try to limit the report on Role = Off2. It gives me an error saying " The layout of this view combined with the data, selection , drills resulted in no data. Undo drill and view prompt values". Basically what i want is to be able to select any role type and then my hierarchy should be adjusted to show me that data. Like when I select Off2, I want to see David at the Top level and Sean and James under him because they are both Off 2 and David is their manager.
    Is that possbile? Also, am I getting this error because when I select Off2 though it gets Sean and James but since David is not Off2, I don't get the data?
    I hope I was able to explain the issue, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ronny

    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 ?

  • Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
    I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
    For Eg:
    I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
    - *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
    - Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
    - *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
    The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
    Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
    Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
    Regards

    Hi Bala,
    Thank you for your response.
    I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
    I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
    Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
    It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
    Can you please help me in this regard.
    Regards

  • How to set width of a prompt in OBIEE 11g?

    Hi,
    We have recently upgraded to OBIEE 11G.
    In 10g all our prompts were fine. After upgrade, the prompts look distracted. All the prompts are Choice Lists.
    The width of the prompts is varying depending on the width of the values that are coming from the DB.
    Our requirement demands fixed width for the prompts. Is there any way to do it!!

  • Issues with less than and grater than condition in prompts in OBIEE 11g,

    Hi all,
    i am facing the prombles with less than grater than conditions in OBIEE 11g.
    i created two date prompts with presentation variables datefrom and dateto
    and i used these prompts in fileters like this using grater than and less than symbol.
    filters are as below:
    lastupdated date is grater than or equal to @{datefrom}{1/1/1950}
    lastupdated date is less than or equal to @{dateto){1/1/1950}
    and created two prompts
    creation datefrom >=
    creation dateto<=
    when i passing the dates 05/12/2004 and 05/12/2005 in prompts after clicking the apply button in OBIEE 11g it feches all the records but i need records between these dates. and one more thing is after clicking apply button the two date fields getting the same date..
    am i do any thing wrong in the above ???
    please let me know friends..
    waiting for ur replyyyyyy..
    Thanks
    Edited by: BI_user on Oct 12, 2011 2:10 AM

    Hi,
    Create date prompts with operator as = not >= (or) <= as you need to save that value in presentation variable and you are filtering report using those variable filters.

  • Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
    In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
    In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
    Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
    It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
    In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
    Any suggestion? Thanks.

    work for all column values since we do not want to show the state values after clicking column values.
    Any feedbacks are highly welcome.
    region 1

  • Essbase Cube Hierarchy Types in OBIEE 11g

    All,
    Is there any documentation anywhere that explains what the different hierarchy types are for Essbase? I see the following listed, but am totally confused as to what each means and when it should be used.
    1. Fully balanced - Basically a flattened out equal level, no skips, hierarchy
    2. Unbalanced - ?
    3. Ragged Balanced - Isn't this an oxymoron?
    4. Network - ?
    5. Value - I'm seeing in blogs this is basically a Parent-Child; if so, what are 2 and 3 used for then since you can pick Ragged and Skipped Levels on the BMM layer?
    At this point, I'm trying to test out the DMDemo cube from 9.3.3 and have the Fully balanced dims working fine. I'm putting my Accounts as Value, but it won't drill past the 2nd generation. I'm putting Products as Unbalanced, but I'm not sure if this is correct. When I put Products as Ragged balanced it works, but lets you expand past where there actually is a level to the maximum depth (giving you a blank box), which doesn't look pretty at all.
    Any direction on this will be greatly appreciated as the first one is the only type I can get to work correctly.
    Thanks in Advance,

    All,
    After re-reading the documentation, I see that only Balanced, Unbalanced, and Value are supported for Essbase. I went ahead and setup the DMDemo out of our 11.1.1.3 environment the same way I did the 9.3.3 and here's what I found. Unbalanced works when setup exactly the same as it is in 9.3.3, I dont' see any issues with it. Value on the other hand, still doesn't seem to work correctly as I can still only drill down one level. I decided to switch Accounts to Unbalanced to see if it works and it appears my cube is working totally fine in OBIEE finally. To me, it seems as though it's just a version compatibility issue. Has anyone else ran into this so far? Also, I still don't understand what the difference is between Unbalanced and Value besides the fact that Value only gives Total and Detail levels on the hierarchy. Hopefully this helps someone else!
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • How the hierarchy works in obiee 11G

    Hi All,
    Normally in 10g , when we set detail level then it gives data of lowest granularity. but here in 11g i created one dimension in dept table . and took two salary columns of emp and one i set it to total and other as detail .
    when i took two columns i did not get data as expected (The way we get in 10g)
    How it works in 11g??
    Is there any document/blog .. please help.

    check this
    The Port number is the AdminServer Port Number of the domain. This is where the EM app will be targetted and deployed. If you choose all defaults and have like a Simple Installation of BI Software, then you should have one Server named AdminServer running at default Port: 7001.
    To really confirm exactly, open you config.xml file which is under your domain root folder/config/config.xml file. Search for "em.ear" and see to which server it is targetted, generally it will be AdminServer (<target> tag entry). Now from the top search for "AdminServer" in the same file. You should see an entry like shown below. SSL Port is 7002. If you do NOT see <listen-port> tag, it means it is using DEFAULT Port which is 7001. But if you do see this tag, use that port number. Do not get confused with <ssl> port. Every domain have normal and ssl ports and most of the times we use normal port.
    <server>
    <name>AdminServer</name>
    <idle-connection-timeout>1000</idle-connection-timeout>
    <period-length>200000</period-length>
    <idle-periods-until-timeout>20</idle-periods-until-timeout>
    <dgc-idle-periods-until-timeout>21</dgc-idle-periods-until-timeout>
    <ssl>
    <name>AdminServer</name>
    <hostname-verification-ignored>true</hostname-verification-ignored>
    <listen-port>7002</listen-port>
    </ssl>
    <machine>RJEGGA</machine>

    <server-diagnostic-config>
    <name>AdminServer</name>
    <diagnostic-context-enabled>true</diagnostic-context-enabled>
    </server-diagnostic-config>
    </server>
    So, try, http://youradminserverhost:adminserverport/em
    NOW, if you get like Page Not Found, or do not see entry from em.ear file in your config.xml file, this means your domain is not having EM app deployed.

  • Dashboard Prompts in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    I had a requirement:
    In my dashboard page , prompts are YEAR , QUARTER , MONTH , PRODUCT NAME , ORDER NAME .
    Now when i select  YEAR = 2010 , then Quarter should display values related to 2010 .
    If i select Quarter = 2010 Q1 then month should display only related values.
    which is like creating dependency between the dashboard prompts.
    Can some one please help me in this issue .

    In your dashboard prompt properties you need to tick the 'Constrain' box for all the columns that you want be constrained by the other choices, e.g Year, Quarter, Month.
    Only tick Product Name / Order Name if you want these to be constrained also but bear in mind it could cause a performance delay if you are having to join tables to get the constrain.
    Hope this helps,
