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

  • Design a dimension with skip-level hierarchy and its ETL

    Hi gurus,
    I'm trying to understand how to set up and use a skip level dimension and its corresponding mapping in OWB 11.2.
    A simplified version of my hierarchy would be like Total-Brand-LOB-Product where Some Products connect directly to Brand and others connect to LOB.
    My first question is about designing this kind of dimension in OWB. Is it better to create a single hierarchy with the Product level skipped to Brand level or 2 hierarchies - one Total-Brand-LOB-Product and the other Total-Brand-Product?
    My second question is about creating its corresponding ETL mapping. Selecting each option above result in 2 FKs for Brand and LOB in Product level. What is the correct design to fill these 2 FKs?
    Any help/guidance would be truly appreciated!

  • Issue with Weblogic services in Linux OBIEE 11G

    Hello All,
    I have a OBI 11G set up on a linux OS.I am facing a issue with weblogic service.
    Whenever I am trying to start the Admin server from command line using its .sh , it is starting successfully.
    But whenever I am closing that Linux session or coming out of the Admin server log , this service is getting stopped on its own.
    OBI is working perfectly when that Linux session and Admin server log is intact, but as soon as i close either of them Admin server shut itself down.
    Please any help on this will be appreciated.

  • OBIEE 10g - Ragged & Skip Level Hierarchy

    Hi Frnds,
    I'm aware of the fact that OBIEE 11g supports Ragged & Skip Level Hierarchy. But I'm looking for some heads up while implementing the same on OBIEE 10g using Oracle DB as source. I have done this before for Essbase Data Source but now waiting for my Oracle dataset for design.
    Has anyone actually implemented in Real Time Project? Pls share your challenges like:
    - Dimensional Hierarchies Challenges
    - Drill Down Challenges
    - Report Challenges
    Thanks,
    Deepak

    Deepak,
    10g does not handle the idea of Skip hierarchies and the ragged hierarchies definitely has its limitations.
    We've implemented several projects using Essbase and SAP BW for Oracle BI 10g. The biggest issue is that in Answers creates a new column for each drill down selection when attempting to navigate down a hierarchy. Though this is klugy it does work and provides the data the user is looking for. It is however, not aesthetically please when compared to other tools or now Oracle BI 11g which satisfies this issue with a native drill-down tree folder structure.
    My opinion and advice would be to upgrade to 11g as soon as possible to enjoy these new features.

  • OBIEE Essbase skip-level hierarchy

    Is it possible to setup OBIEE and Essbase to be able to model skip-level hierarchy? It is obvious with connection to the relational database. How the essbase should designed and populated with data to faciliate this type of hierarchy?

    Refer this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/overview/obiee-essbase-modeling-guide-130897.pdf for Modeling. And for any Essbase releated question post it in Essbase forum Essbase

  • 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 ?

  • How to provide Responsiblity level security in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    Can any one tell me how to provide the responsibility level security in OBIEE 11G.

    Hi,
    You need to create group of users and then apply filters over that groups.
    you should establish an additional filter for group1 (user1 belongs to group1 in your example). Follow next steps:
    - Manage -> Security...
    - Groups -> click right group1 and select propierties.
    - Select button 'Permissions...'
    - Select tab 'Filters' -> add new filter.
    - On the column name select the metric you need filter, in your example, customer sales. On the column 'Business model filter' put table.division=division1
    you should add the Customer table to your Sales-fact LTS add apply the filter to this combined LTS as well

  • URGENT HELP PLS :  Issue with Multi Level Master Detail block

    This is an issue someone else had posted in this forum few years back but there was no solution mentioned, I have run into this same issue , The problem is as explained below.
    Any help on this is appreciated.
    Scenario:
    There are 3 Blocks in the form : A (Master Block)
    : B (Detail of A )
    : C (Detail of B )
    There is master detail relation created between A and B and B and C. So initially when we query for a record in Master A, it shows all records properly in B and C.
    Now if i navigate to the first record of B , and then second record of B , records corresponding to that record shows up properly in C block.
    Till now everything works fine.
    Issue 1:
    But in case after querying initially on Master Block A,If I go directly to the second record of B block, it clears the whole B block and C block.
    Issue 2:
    Same thing happens if I am on C block ( corresponding to second record of B block) and then navigate to first record in B block , it again clears the whole B block and C block.
    Please Help !!
    Thanks !

    Thanks Xem for Your reply , I tried those settings but it did not help..here is the original link that to the thread that talks about the same problem ,
    Issue with Multi Level Master Detail block
    The last update to this was the following :
    "I figured out that this is happening because Block Status is set to 'Changed' and this is causing it to clear out the blocks.

  • 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.

  • Content level setting in OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    i am new to obiee 11g.i have an doubt in setting up the content level setting in BMM layer.i have given details level in fact LTS content tab with help of physical join,i dont get any error but while trying to generate reports i am getting an error "None of the fact table is compatible with the requested level".where i am commiting mistake,do i need to set content llevel based on physical join or logical join scenario.kindly help regarding this.
    thanks in advance!
    Edited by: Nandha on 10 Jan, 2012 10:55 PM

    Hi Nanda,
    We set the content level of logical source based on the granularity of the source.
    Say, a product hierarchy is like
    Category -> Sub Category -> Product
    Say one of your dimensions has Product information, for this source set the level as 'Product'
    Say there is an aggregated source which has Category information, set the source level as 'Category'.
    Hope this helps you to set your levels.
    Thank you,

  • Modelling 2 Fact Tables with Non-Conforming Dimension in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    I have two fact tables (Fact 1 and Fact 2) and two dimension tables (Product and Rule). The Product dimension table is a conforming dimension and is used in both fact tables, but the Rule dimension is a non-conforming dimension which is used only one fact table. I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.0).
    ====
    Fact 1
    ====
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
    S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
    S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
    S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
    S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
    Notes for Fact 1:
    - One Sales ID can have multiple Product IDs
    - Sales Description and Sales Status are the same for one Sales ID (repeating Sales Description and Sales Status for the same Sales ID)
    ====
    Fact 2
    ====
    Sales ID | Product ID | Rule ID | Score
    S001 | P001 | R001 | 2
    S001 | P001 | R002 | 3
    S001 | P002 | R003 | 1
    S002 | P001 | R003 | 1
    S002 | P003 | R002 | 2
    S002 | P003 | R004 | 5
    Notes for Fact 2:
    - One combination of Sales ID and Product ID can have multiple Rule ID
    I'm wondering how best to model these tables so that I can create this report (number of the dimension and fact tables created in the business model, level mapping, aggregation rule, etc)? Any suggestion/advice on how to achieve this?
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
    S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R001 | 2
    S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R002 | 3
    S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R003 | 1
    S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R003 | 1
    S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R002 | 2
    S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R004 | 5
    Thank you very much!

    Hi Dhar, thanks for the suggestions.
    I tested what you suggested, but the result is not as per my expectation mentioned above. Here's what I did:
    1. In physical layer:
    - I joined Fact 1 table with Product dimension table only
    - I joined Fact 2 table with Product and Rule dimension tables
    2. In business model layer:
    - I created 3 logical tables: Fact, Product, and Rule
    - The Product table contains the Product ID and Product Name from the Product dimension table in the physical layer
    - I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Product with only ProductTotal level (as the grand total level) and ProductDetail level that contains Product ID and Product Name
    - The Rule table contains the Rule ID and Rule Name from the Rule dimension table in the physical layer
    - I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Rule with only RuleTotal level (as the grand total level) and RuleDetail level that contains Rule ID and Rule Name
    - The Fact table contains 2 logical tables sources: Fact 1 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleTotal) and Fact 2 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleDetail)
    - The Fact table contains Sales ID logical column (mapped to both Fact 1 and Fact 2 logical table sources)
    - The Fact table also contains Sales Description and Sales Status logical columns (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is the default to None
    - The Fact table also contains Quantity logical column (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
    - The Fact table also contains Score logical column (mapped to only Fact 2), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
    OBIEE returns the expected result when I retrieve the report:
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
    However, OBIEE returns an error when I retrieve the reports:
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID
    or
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
    The error is:
    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: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request FACT.SALES_STATUS. (HY000)
    And the Score column is blank when I retrieved this report:
    Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Score
    Any suggestion anyone? Please help. Thanks a lot!

  • Help with Skip Level dimensions in OWB 10.2 (Paris)

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to understand how to set up and use a skip level dimension in OWB 10.2. A simplified version of my hierarchy would be:
    Plant - Equipment - Assembly - Item
    Where Some Items connect directly to equipment and others connect to assemblies. How sould I define this in the Dimension wizard or editor in OWB?
    Can I create a single dimension hierarchy and in the Item level put Skip Level as "Equipment"?
    OR
    Do I need 2 hierarchies - one Plant-Equipment-Assembly-Item and the other Plant-Equipment-Item?
    There is an example in the Users guide that created 2 hierarchies -
    TOTAL-GROUP-PRODUCT and TOTAL-PRODUCT
    In the example, they show the PRODUCT in TOTAL-PRODUCT setting the skip level field. I don't understand why that is necessary if it is 2 seperate hierarchies.
    Any help/guidance would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Donna,
    Perhaps JP can expand on his answer. In my case, I did go the route of seperate hierarchies. It is a bit of work defining multiple hierarchies and my example was much simplified. We actually have about 8 levels in the primary hierarchy and 6 levels in the second. It does work well with the cubes by using 2 roles for the dimension - one for each hierarchy.
    I saw that truly "ragged hierarchies" or "level hierarchies" can be defined in OWB and deployed as MOLAP but MOLAP has quite a few drawbacks - no SCDs and requires analytic workspaces etc. I haven't done anything with these yet.
    Our data is a classic manufacturing Bill of Material so the level hierarchy would be the easiest to manage, though I'm not sure how easy it would be to report on! I do want to shield my end-users from CONNECT-BY madness.
