Recursive Dimension Hierarchy

Hi everybody,
Is there a way to define a recursive dimension hierarchy in the Oracle BI Administration Tool???
Many thanks in advance!!!
Jorge.

Jorge,
If you are referring to a parent-child hierarchy of the Manager-Employee type then its possible to model it in the BMM layer. It takes a little work but its doable. I have done it but dont recall the specifics.

How to create material group hierarchy ?

Hi,
I would like to know how to create material group hierarchy in ECC 6.0
Thanks in advance for your help,
Kind regards,
Yann

Hi ,
The material group hierarchy and product heirarchy is used in SD of ECC 6.0 . These can be created in Logistics General -> Material Master-> settings for Key fields--> Data Relevant to Sales and Distribution-> 1)
define product categories
2)Define material groups
But If you want to make of use of this in SRM ,I won't think it is available . I guess Probably this is avl for CRM .

How to create a custom Hierarchy in IDT 4.0

Hi All.
I am trying to create a custom hierarchy objects in the Information Design tool, But I am not able to find it here as same sort like the universe designer in 3.1 or 4.0 . I have found the navigational path but I am not sure how I can use it as a hierarchical objects in my reports, Can anyone please suggest how to create a custom hierarchical dimension in IDT 4.0.
Thanks,
Navin

Custom Hierarchy are called navigation path in IDT. I will suggest to go through the navigation path tutorials below
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-22087
Hierarchical objects are no different than any regular objects but they enable the drilling in drill mode in the report and you can create a cascading prompt on top of them..
If after going through this you still have any specific questions just let us know...

How to Create a Dimension Table in OBIEE11g

Hello,
Chapter 9, page 221(if pdf) of the Build Repository manual of OBIEE 11g explains following.
Creating Dimensions in Level-Based Hierarchies
After creating a dimension, each dimension can be associated with attributes
(columns) from one or more logical dimension tables and level-based measures from
logical fact tables. After you associate logical columns with a dimension level, the
tables in which these columns exist appear in the Tables tab of the Dimension dialog.
To create a dimension with a level-based hierarchy:
1. In the Business Model and Mapping layer of the Administration Tool, right-click a
business model and select New Object > Logical Dimension > Dimension with
Level-Based Hierarchy.
Note that this option is only available when there is at least one dimension table
that has no dimension associated with it.I am still learning OBIEE, and I can not see the dimension menu item as per point 1 becuse i do not have dimension table associated with it. All I have done at this point is to create logical tables based on few physical tables in physical layer.
How do I create Dimension Tables? using BI Admin tool?
Thanks,R

Hi Rich,
If you are new to Oracle BI, you would better start with the Oracle Learning Library; http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=9830:41:0::NO:RIR:IR_PRODUCT,IR_PRODUCT_SUITE,IR_PRODUCT_COMPONENT,IR_RELEASE,IR_TYPE,IRC_ROWFILTER,IR_FUNCTIONAL_CATEGORY:,BI,,,,,
You create dimensions based on your logical tables. In a plain star-schema you would have one logical fact table and at least one or more logical dimension tabes attached (joined) to the fact table. Just follow the documentation and you would be good to go.
Good Luck,

How to Create and External Hierarchy and group values of IO in node

Good morning
BI 7:
Please give me guidance on the following?
I need to either to restrict a characteristic in a query to more than 800 values OR exclude values where it contains the pattern 'Z7' and 'Z8'. There are thousands of values which contains the pattern and they are not listed in such a way that I can exclude them as a value range, thus I would have to include all the values I want into the restriction, which is more than 800. An error displays when I check the query:
""In the structural component Warranty Damage Code, characteristic ZWR_DMGC is restricted to 838 values. This number is very large and will probably meet with technical limitations""
The proposed solution is:
""Create an external hierarchy for characteristic ZWR_DMGC and group the 838 values in a hierarchy node. You can then work with the node instead of the 838 individual values.
Alternatively, you can define a corresponding navigation attribute for ZWR_DMGC""
I know where to create the hierarchy, but I am confused how to only include the values of the applicable IO where pattern contains 'Z7' and 'Z8'.......??
The following are some of the steps proposed in a related thread, but I am loosing it at step 7.
5. Confirm your entries. The Maintain Hierarchy screen appears. You can define the structure of a hierarchy here. ok
6. To create a hierarchy node, you first need to choose an insertion mode: Insert as First Child or Insert As Next Neighbor (see Hierarchy Editing Functions). I selected first child
7. Choose the type of node you want to create: Text Node, Characteristic Node, <Hierarchy Basic Characteristic Node> or Interval (see Hierarchy Nodes) *this is where I am lost, which should I select to list values with pattern ' *Z7' and ' Z8' in a node or two
8. Repeat this procedure until the hierarchy structure has been set. For more information, see Modeling Nodes and Leaves.
A hierarchy can contain 50,000-100,000 leaves at most. If your hierarchy is larger, you should insert a level that is used as a navigation attribute or preferably as a separate characteristic in the dimension table.
9. You can use Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes to set how the hierarchy is to be displayed and processed in reporting (see Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes).
10. Save the hierarchy.
Your assistance will be appreciated.

Hierarchy not used in this case. Could not fnd an answer.

How to create a dimension with one level

I created a cube with some dimensions, that have only a level, and this kind of dimensions bring me some problems when I want to use "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In" to consult the cube.
The problem is that I canât create a hierarchy with only a level, so the dimensions are created without a hierarchy.
When I make a query in the âQuery Builderâ of "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In", I have some problems in the step of choosing what levels I want to select for a determined dimension, if that dimension is a dimension without a hierarchy.
What really happens is that, I can see all the values for the level in the left box, but I donât achieve to put one of these values on the right box. I can click in the next button, to jump to the next dimension, and all the process of selection for the other dimensions occurs without problems, except for the dimensions that havenât a hierarchy.
If I select only dimensions that have a hierarchy, all works perfectly, but if I select one or more dimensions that donât have a hierarchy, the following problems occur:
=> I canât select the values of the level that I want to see (only for dimensions that donât have a hierarchy)
=> When I click in âendâ button of the âQuery Builderâ, it doesnât finish and blocks.
The solution is to create a hierarchy, but I canât create a hierarchy with only a level. Is it possible to create a âtop levelâ without a source column in the dimension table? So I will have two levels, and with these two levels I can create a hierarchy that resolves the problem.
What is the solution for this problem?
Regards,
Rui Torres

How I can resolve my problem?
I donât want to use the CWM2 PL/SQL packages, because with these packages I only can create MOLAP cubes.
I only want to create ROLAP cubes, but I can't create a hierarchy with one level.
Why the "OracleBI Spreadsheet Add-In" doesnât work with dimensions, that not have hierarchies?
How I can resolve this BIG problem?
It is very URGENT!!!!

How to create new approval hierarchy

Dear Experts, I want to know if we can create a new approval hierarchy.
I know that there is a existing seeded hierarchy. We create new process and it goes for review and finally it gets approved. But this would happen according to roles assigned to the users and that to for only two steps one is the reviewer and other is the approver, but i want that there be 2 reviewer and 3 approver, than how can i assign any further roles for the same process to be to be reviewed and approved by more people.
1) Can we create new approval hierarchy.if yes then how?
2) what will be there roles assigned to them?
3) if it can be done by rules , than what is the scripts for the same.?
4) If it can be done with perspective hierarchy then how to confirgure and what roles to assign?
Please help me with the above problem.
Regards,
Prince

This can be done, but it will require work using Flow Rules and perhaps Form Rules. This is a complex setup you're looking for, and I would recommend seeking a professional implementer to assist you. People like Oracle Consulting for GRC is available and have had success in these type of setups.

How to create a dimension that will reference another dimension

Im creating a new cube without having a schema or DSV in place yet. Starting from scratch. In my OLTP database I have a table 'Orders' which contains various FK references to other tables, which in turn might reference two other tables.
For example. Orders has a FK to a table called MarketAuthority. This is a table that contains references to two other tables Market and Authority.
How can setup my dimension(s) to capture this, if Im starting with no DSV or schema for a data warehouse.
Correct me if Im wrong, but I think I just setup a new dimension called MarketAuthority and use it from the Measuregroup for the Orders. However, how will I reference the Authority. I assume it will be a dimension as well, but how do I relate
MarketAuthority and Authority?
In other words, say you had these types of tables in your OLTP system
Orders (salesperson, account, department ...)
OrderDetails (references order, many to 1)
Goals (references many of the same attributes eg. salesperson as order)
Im thinking I need 3 separate measure groups?
Im looking over the Adventureworks 2008 SSAS example project for how its setup.

I think im looking at this all wrong.
Again, with the example tables above, I can still create 3 different measure groups, but they all will need to reference some of the same dimensions. This will result in 3 different fact tables when the schema is realized I believe?
What I think i was missing was that something like an OrderDetail table, that refers back to an Order will need references also to the same attributes as the order, at least as regard to the fact table(s).
In other words, if Orders has a SalesPerson key, account key etc, then OrderDetails will as well, IN ADDITION TO the order id as a measure.
Or ... does this sound like the case for a Fact type dimension?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms167409(v=sql.105).aspx
Hi Shiftbit,
As you said, it related to Degenerate dimensions which also called fact dimensions, are standard dimensions that are constructed from attribute columns in fact tables instead of from attribute columns in dimension tables.

How to create Base Dimensions with MaxL and Text File?

Hi,
Doing a scratch rebuild of a cube every month. Don't want to have a 'dummy' outline with base dimensions to copy over every build. Instead want to build from text file somehow. Thus my plan is to: 1) Delete the existing app/db 2) Create a new blank app/db 3) Create the base dimensions in the outline via text file and 4) Build entire outline via a text file. I'm stuck on #3 how to get the 'base dimensions' built via text file. I need:
ACCOUNTS
PERIOD
VALUE
VIEWS
SCENARIO
CUSTOM4
YEAR
CUSTOM3
CUSTOM2
ENTITY
CUSTOM1
I see this MaxL, but it uses a 'rules file' and I never have built a rules file to create base dims so I'm confused if it's possible or not...
import database sample.basic dimensions
from data_file '/data/calcdat.txt'
using rules_file '/data/rulesfile.rul'
on error append to '/logs/dimbuild.log';

We rebuild our Departments and Organization from an enterprise hierarchy master each week.
The way we implemented (what you call #3) was to not do #1 and #2, but to have a "destructive" load rule for each of these dimensions using a text file. (in the "Dimension Build Settings" for the load rule, select "Remove Unspecified" to make it destructive)
The text file just has the dimension name (parent) and any children we needed defined in a parent/child relationship. For instance
"Sales Departments" "0100-All Departments"
This essentially works the same as deleting the app because the destructive load rules will drop all the blocks of data that were unspecified.
Then we run our SQL load rule to build the rest of the dimensions from the Location Master.
We perform a level-0 export prior to this process, then reload the level-0 data and execute all the consolidation scripts to get the data back (now in a current enterprise defined hierarchy)

How to create only heading hierarchy

Hi,
i created hierarchy for the heading level, but it is getting hierarchy at data level also,
How can i get hierarchy only at heading level and not at data level.
Can anyone suggest.
Thanks

Do you know that drill down is happens based on the keys specified in dimension, by keys we get the next level not by heading.
If you want to give a try then unset interaction at Value Interaction and see how it works.
Option is to hide data ;)

Is this something you regular have to do ? what about a MultiProvider ?
did you try "merged dimensions" in the Web Intelligence Report ?

How to create a nested hierarchy of layers in Acrobat X

After researching on line for a few days it appears that AutoCAD 2012 64 bit no longer supports PDFMaker. In the old PDFMaker it would appear that I could select AutoCAD layers to make a layer groups or nested hierarchy. I want create something like the first page of this http://floridadisaster.org/publicmapping/HELP.pdf Multiple groups with nested sublayers to several levels. With no luck on the exporting end I wonder if there is an Adobe product that can do this. Illustrator creates the same structure and then only exports the top layer. InDesign doesn't allow for layer groups or nested layers unless it has the DTP plugin, but then it only exports the top level layers. Any ideas? I have yet to find a product other than ArcGIS which is overkill for just the creation of a layer/sublayer hiearchy and expensive.
Thanks,
Josh

Actually, the "tree" you see on the right panel isn't a layers tree at all. OCGs (aka "layers") in a PDF file are in a simple 1-level stack, but you can define groups of layers, which Acrobat displays using the tree style. While there's no grouping or ungrouping tool in the user interface in Acrobat, you can do it via JavaScript by writing arrays of arrays into the doc.OCGOrder object. To quote the Acrobat SDK:
The simplest order array is a flat array of OCG objects. In this case, the listed OCGs are displayed in the UI as a flat list in the same order. If a subarray is present in the order array and the first element of the array is a string, the string will be listed with the rest of the array nested underneath it. If the first element of the array is not a string, the entire array will appear nested underneath the OCG preceding the subarray.
