How to Drill Down Between Queries

Hi Experts,
I am fairly new to developing reports, so at the current system there are 2 queries Summary(on a Cube) and Detail(on ODS). These are independent queries rt now. I want to pass Cost center and fiscal Period as parameters from Summary to Detail queries and make it a drill down report so that for each cost element we can get the document details. I have read the other posts relavant to how to drill down while passing parameters but dint understand much out of those.
Can anyone please lay down a step - step approach in doing this? Or share any kind of explanatory documents.
Thanks
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Each response you have received so far is recommending the Report-Report Interface (RRI). It is a powerful and useful technique. It is simple to do (minutes) and it works in all current and future front-end environments.
The problem with using is that users need a little bit of training. And the results they get are ALWAYS exactly as the "receiver" query is displayed in its Global Definition.
If your users are using Excel and you want them to use a standard template workbook for the receiver, this is difficult (not impossible) to obtain because you need to "touch" each of their PCs and ensure that they have the correct settings on their PC each time you have an upgrade of the front-end (either BW upgrade or PC upgrade).
In most peoples' opinion, the benefits of RRI outweigh the disadvantages.
There is another option if you are using Excel. You can put both queries in a single workbook and use the Business Explorer Analyzer's API functions to create a "Jump" from query 1 to query 2.
You can set this up to occur every time that query 1 is refreshed. Or, your user can select one (or several) results from query 1 to make the jump to query 2.
The great disadvantage of this alternative approach is that it requires use of both Visual Basic and the BEx API functions. Not very many people are good at either one of these. But, they are simple to learn and once you do, there is no end to the amount of customization that can be obtained.
If you want more information about this approach, post again. Or, do a search on previous posts that I have made (from these you will find the names of others who are very knowledgeable in this approach as well.)
Also, here is a link to some examples of BEx API functions that accompany an article written by Joerg Boeke

How the Drill down functionality works if the source is Bex Query

Dear All,
How the Drill down functionality works if the source is Bex Query through the query browser in Dashboard 4.1
Please let me know process.
Thanks

Hi sai,
Drill down can be done by two ways.
1. you need to bring all the data in one shot to the spreadsheet and then by using the components you can achieve it. Below given link explains in detailed about that.
Filtering Through Combo Box
2. you can use different set of query to pass the value from one set to another to fetch the data using the prompt. please check the below which explain them.
Difference between "When value Becomes & When value Changes"

Hi Srinivas,
I'm using label based menu "filterd rows" only but i couldn't bind the drill down with the 1st stacked column chart.
for mor details:
1) i'm having 2 stacked coumn charts & 1 lebel based menu but eventhough i couldn't able to achieve.
if i select the lebel based values then the 2nd stacked column charts is giving detailed valus but if i keep my mouse on the 1st stacked column chart the there is no changes on the 2nd chart..
somewhere i'm mising the binding data between 1st stacked coumn chart & lebel based menu on drill down part.
Becoz i'm having multiple rows. so can you please try your and send me the xlf file using your concept.

How to drill down and keep all my pivot table...

Hello experts!
I have a question about how to drill-down in pivot table. If I drill-down I can see the result in the same place...but it dissapear other bins or measures...
Example:
Pivot table:
A
B
C
If I click in A I can see:
a1
a2
a3
But I don't see B and C.
I would like to see when I click on A:
A
---a1
---a2
---a3
B
C
In my example I have a lot of bins to do drill-down...so it doesn't work for me to create three pivot tables and to do a union...
Is that possible? If you need more details you can post here...
Thank you!

Alex, this isn't another question. It looked like you were asking something different. That's why I said to start another thread. The bottom line is that OBIEE can't do what you are looking for.
But I think what is more important is not necessarily how to do what the OP wants, but what is the best way (read: most efficient, simplest, viable) to achieve the goal.
In this case, I think a better approach to your reporting is to use to Dashboard prompts. The first would be like Vehices (which has Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, etc. in the drop-down window) and the second, constrained on the first, called Models/Brands (which has values dependent on what is chosen in the first prompt). With "All Choices" checked off in the prompt design, you have all the combinations a user needs to see in the pivot table. If the user chooses "Cars" from the first prompt, and "All Choices" in the second, then he/she will get all the car models displayed in the pivot table. Or, the user could select one particular moded from the start.
In fact, this is how many product web sites are set up. This gives the flexibility to the user and the report looks clean and efficient. You can have the drill down on the particular model (value interaction) if you wish to supply extra data on the particular model chosen.
I think this is the "correct" answer, Alex, though not the answer to the question you posed. Good luck.

How to drill down the cause of "SQL*Net message from/to client"

Pretty frustrated with my tune up using suggestions from many papers for Oracle 10g R2 on AIX 5.3 L system. My users told me that the system (including Baan 5c) still responds slowly in some processes, some even worsen.
Using both queries such as
SELECT sid, schemaname, status FROM gv$session ORDER BY 2;
SELECT inst_id, seq#, event, p1, p2, p3, wait_time FROM v$session_wait_history WHERE sid=<sid from above>
INST_ID SEQ# EVENT P1 P2 P3 WAIT_TIME
1 1 SQL*Net message from client 1413697536 1 0 6419
1 2 SQL*Net message to client 1413697536 1 0 0
and others similar, I found very large numbers (almost 97%) of the sessions have events as “SQL*Net message to client” and “SQL*Net message from client” on their wait_time even the sids are in inactive status. After checking the meaning of those messages in Oracle Performance and Tuning document, the document states that mainly they are probably network problems. So How can I drill down to what status of network from my client (the users) to server by Oracle or AIX? In Baan, it has its own parameter sets in its db_resource file controlling the connectivity. In average, there are 4000 “opened cursor current”, but most of them inactives.
So my colleague asked me rollback all th changes I did on OS level such as minperm%=5
maxperm%=90
maxclient%=90,
lgpg_regions lgpg_size,
sys0 maxuproc=512,
aio0 maxservers='260'
and many ioo parameters to system defaults.
I even removed the mulitplex copy of the redo log.
I tried to proof them that there maybe the problem of the Baan/Oracle connectivity, ie due to message above,

http://docs.oracle.com ... read them for configuration information.
http://tahiti.oracle.com ... read them for recommendations.
http://otn.oracle.com ... find the best practices docs.
http://metalink.oracle.com ... look for similar issues to yours.
People that change things, on production boxes, without first determining that metrics indicate they are a good idea, and then determining their impact on a test box, should be sold to zoos as leopard food.
PS: Slowly likely has absolutely nothing to do with anything you touched. First you tune the application. Then you tune the database. Then you tune the operating system. Get out of the way and make the DBAs do their job.

How to drill down from summary report to detail report using RRI?

Dear all:
A problem about RRI. Please help me!
1.I create a BEx query 'Q1' to show summary data.
2.I create a BEx query 'Q2' to show detail data.
3.In Q1, all the products are shown each row.
       The 1st coulmn is 'Balance in the begin', it shows how many customer claim cases are opened before this week.
       The 2nd coulmn is 'New', it shows how many customer claim cases are initalized in this week.
       The 3rd coulmn is 'Close', it shows how many customer claim cases are closed in this week.
       The 4th coulmn is 'Balance', it shows how many customer claim cases are still opened now. And this column is calculated by this fomula as follow:
         'Balance in the begin' + 'New' - 'Close'
   4.In Q2, it lists each customer claim case. Include ClaimNo, Sold-To Party, ProductNo...
   5. I set Q1 as sender, Q2 as receiver.
   6. If I focus on the value of 'New' or 'Close' and then go to 'Q2', the correspond detail calim information in 'Q2'. But it is fail if I focus on the value 'Balance'.
   Why?
Thanks,
Jolin

I don't know if you can use the hyperlink to call a subreport but the following has worked for me in Crystal 10:
1. In your main report create a group on the field you want to pass to the subreport.
2. In the Group Footer, use the "Insert Section below" menu command so that you have a Group Footer 1a and a Group Footer 1b.
3. Put your table fields in the Group Footer 1b section (this would be similar to your Details data).
4. Put the sub report in the Group Footer 1a section. Set up the links to the subreport from a table field in your main report.
5. Right-click on the sub-report, select "Format Sub-report". Click on the "x-2" button to the right of the Suppress option and enter "DrillDownGroupLevel = 0" in the "Formula Workshop-Formula Format Editor-Suppress" window and save it.
When you double-click on your data field (i.e. the field in Group footer 1b) it should drill-down and run your subreport.

How format drill down column?

Hi all,
We can format the column in report , but when drill down to another column2, how can i format column2?
Thanks!

Bring the second column into the Criteria Tab and Edit the Column format as per your needs. Once you ar done at the bottom Save the column 'as the system wide default for that column'. After saving remove the column from Criteria tab.
Next when u drill down to column 2 the formatting would appear automatically. Hope this helps!

How to drill down another one report on one field value of one row

Hi,
I have two reports that can link together on one field of respective database query command. The effect i want to reach is that when user clicks this field value on some row of one report, which i call source object, another report, target object, would use this value as input parameter and the page would jump to this linked report. I can see Format Editor provides Hyperlink feature when one field is edited, but i don't know how to associate another report as what i described here.
What if one the following conditions is met:
1.one of two objects, source object, is one chart object
2.target object is one chart object
3.two objects are both chart objects
Note: two objects is separately from different reports.
Additionally, is it possible to code for hyperlink functionality under both .NET WinForm and WebForm? what if under RDC?
Thank you

I need to build a 3d pie chart. For example, a department 3d pie chart. It has number of employees on math dept, physics dept, cs dept. When I click math dept from the chart, it will drill down to a report which has the detail of math dept: employee name, salary etc.
Is this a way to achieve this?

How to drill down into specfic row?

I am new to this website and to APEX, I have a question about having a report and when clicking on a row, it drill down to a page which only shows the row data about the clicked row.
Would be grateful if you tell me how to do that? I really need to know that..

Hi,
first i would create a master table and afterwords a detail table incl. foreign key (i.e. dept, emp). And then create a master detail form as i mentioned before. Further i recommend the documentation '2 Day + Developer's Guide' - see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/documentation/index.html

How to drill down the values in ADF

Hi.,
I am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.5

When i Click the Gayb_acct it must be drilled down to get the values of Gapb_acct
How can i get this., could any one please help me!!

Hi Wilhelm,
You can create associations for EO's and viewLinks for VO's to link the two.
Use the viewlinks to implement master detail behavior.
Create the association and viewlink based on the attribute that links yearly and periodic.
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for because your post isn't that descriptive.
Good luck

How to drill down event in a speedometer

Hi all,
How can I implement the drill down event in a speedometer? This objet doesn´t have that optioin and
I need that appears a column graph when I click on the gauge with the mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Diego
Edited by: OB1 on May 28, 2009 4:11 PM

HI,
WORK AROUND:
PLACE A SELECTOR COMPONENT (ICON OR TOGGLE BUTTON) OVER THE SPEEDOMETER AND MAKE IT INVISIBLE (CHANGE TRANSPARENCY TO 100%), THEN CHANGE BEHAVIOUR OF THE COMPONENT TO MOUSE OVER. NOW MAKE SOME GRAPH VISIBLE BASED ON THE SELECTOR COMPONENTS SOURCE DATA.
WHENEVER A USER MOUSES OVER THE SPEEDOMETER, YOUR GRAPH WILL BECOME VISIBLE

QM data: how to drill down to individual measurements?

Hi,
I have installed 6 of the QM-cubes from business content - so far, so good. Now, I have been asked if it is possible to drill down to the individual measurements in the quality inspections. I am trying to assess if it is possible. As far as I can see it is not possible with the business content.
Apparrently it has been done before (in an other SAP installation), but the person who claim that it is possible, cannot give further details...
My best idea is to use the 'Quality Management - Statistical Data Interface'
(https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/services.sdn?page=statistical_data_interface.htm and http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/a6/b49fa7538c11d189570000e8323352/frameset.htm). All the data sources seem to do some kind of aggregation; I guess 2LIS_05_QE2 is the datasource that is closest to what I need.
Also I cannot find any usefull info on QM-STI other than the two links above...
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Christian

You have two alternatives:
1. Enhance the business content with fields that identify the required level of detail
2. Define a RRI target to your R/3-System
I would prefer loading detailed information to ODS objects.
