IR Apply Filter for OLAP Query (Essbase)

Question

Guys, this is what i am struggling with.
1. First Question - Finding the true level of the filter someone just applied:
- Someone selects product ABC from the filter prompt box in IR against Essbase. Product ABC is built like Products-->Total Products-->Brand A-->ABC. Now, through script, how do i know product ABC is below all the levels i just listed above?
2. Second - I cannot apply a limit THROUGH SCRIPT simply on "Products.ABC". The IR script errors out. The IR script only works if i have the following syntax "ActiveDocument.Sections["OLAPQuery1"].Filters.Add("Products.Total Products.Brand A.ABC");
Any IR / OLAP / Essbase experts out there that can help?
One question ... should i simply find ABC, look for a parent for ABC and keep going up the chain and document the structure and use that?

Hi, Shantanu,
This does what you requested:
SELECT    *
FROM       table_x
WHERE       incidence     = 'N'
OR       (    status               != 1     -- Cancelled
       AND  (   status           != 2     -- Closed
            OR  completion_date     IS NOT NULL
       AND  activity_status          != 'Cancelled'
;Among other things, this assumes that status and activity_status are never NULL. If they can be NULL, the solution is a little messier, but only a little: instead of things like
status   != 1you have to say
NVL (status, 0)   != 1 
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).
