Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?

Is it possible to have Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?
Like 1)Year-Qtr-Month-Weeks 2)Year-Month-Days

Hi,
or if your lowest level is the same like
Day->month->year->Total
Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
Then yes, it is.
Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.
Then when you would add your second base level, there is a special option for it, something like use other hierarchy level/shared level (sorry can't recall and does not have a connection right now) then you select your existing day level under your businessmonth level.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Defining multiple hierarchies for single dimension in Administrator?

Hello,
We are attempting to define multiple hierarchies in a single dimension in Administrator. The following two examples are representative use cases for what we're trying to do:
DateDim
----By Calendar Quarter
--------By Calendar Month
------------By Week
----------------By Day
----By Fiscal Quarter
--------By Fiscal Month
----By Calendar Month
--------By Week
Note that "By Calendar Month" can't really be a shared level because we do not want to include "By Day" in the third hierarchy.
ServiceLocationDim
----By Sales Region
--------By State
------------By City
----By State
--------By City
------------By Zip
----------------By Store
Note again that "By State" can't be a shared level because its children differ in the two hierarchies.
The goal is to have multiple drilldown paths supported. If there is a different way to do this in Administrator that does not use hierarchies, that would be acceptable.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Hi,
when defining multiple hierarchies in a dimension, the lowest level needs to be the same for each hierarchy...that's a prerequisite.
But I think you can define them this way...and restrict your 'drill' level on your fact table...as I think you will have a different aggregation level overthere.
So for your dimension you'll set the logical level on the lowest level and in your fact you can play with the logical level depending on to the drill level?
Can that help you?

Multiple Joins from one Dimension Table to single Fact table

Hi all,
I have a single fact table with attributes as such:
Action_ID
Action_Type
Date_Started
Date_Completed
and a Time Dimension to connect to the fact table. Currently the 2 Date columns in my fact table are in the format of 20090101 (which is the same as my key in the time dimension), if it means anything. I've tried to create multiple joins but have been getting error messages. What is the easiest way to link the time dimension with the two date columns in my fact table? Thanks.

hi..
it seems to be, you need to use between operator to join time dimension with fact (i.e. Non-equi join)
If it's then you should create complex join in physical layer by connecting dimension with your fact.
select columns and operators in such a way that it resembles something like the below.
timeDimension.timeKey BETWEEN FactTable.Date_Started AND FactTable.Date_Completed

Can OBIEE handle hierarchy built from different dimension tables?

Can I build an hierarchy with values at various levels appearing from other dimension tables in the model ?
Thanks

Hi,
if you want to drill in Answers from an attribute of a dimension to the attribute of anothr dimension, you can use the Preferred Drill Path inside the level of an hierachy.
For example:
Dime Time
-Year
--Month
---Day
Dim Geography
-Continent
--Nation
---City
If you set in the Month level of the Dim Time the Preferred Drill Path to Nation, in Answer when you drill from Month you see Nation.
I hope it helps.

Multiple Hierarchies in one dimension - comments?

multiple hierarchies
Hi Experts,
I'd like your comments on my implementation of multiple hierarchies in one dimension.- especially if this can be done in a way that:
a) still enables users to choose the hierarchy in a dashboard prompt
b) reduces maintenance to a minimum
The dimension groups ages into several different groups like the example below:
Hierarchy1 Hierarchy2
Age......Groups........Groups.....
0........0-2...........0-5
1........0-2...........0-5
2........0-2...........0-5
3........3-5...........0-5
4........3-5...........0-5
75.......70-75.........70-80
76.......76-80.........70-80
Right now I've implemented this by defining one dimension having one hierarchy:
Total
....Hierarchy
.......Group
.........Age
The underlying logical table is based on several logical table sources (LTS) - one for each hierarchy as shown in the first example(Hierarchy1, Hierarchy2).Every LTS has a fragmentation definition filtering on values on 'hierarchy-level'.
Columns in the logical table (and of course in the underlying LTS) are:
Column               mapped to hierarchy-level
- Hierarchy          Hierarchy
- Hierarchy_id          Hierarchy
- Group          Group
- Group-id          Group
- Age               Age
Advantages:
A answers / dashboard user can select one or more hierarchies by using a dashboard prompt.
Adding a new hierarchy (a new grouping) doesn't need changes in the dimension itself
Disadvantages:
A new grouping needs manual steps to implement
- a new physical table
- a new LTS attached to the logical table (including the fragmentation content)
Thanks for your time and comments

RE: Accessing multiple Env from single Client-PC

Look in the "System Management Guide" under connected environments page
72. This will allow services in your primary environment to find
services in your connected environment. However, there is a bug
reported on this feature which is fixed in 2F4 for the HP and H1 for all
other servers. The following is from Forte:
The connected environments bug that was fixed in 2F4 is #24282. The
problem
was in the nodemgr/name server source code and caused the following to
occur:
Service1 is in connected envs A and B.
Client has env A as primary, B as secondary.
Envmgr A dies before the client has ever made a call to Service1.
Afer env A is gone, client makes a call to Service1 which causes Envmgr
B to
seg fault.
You should upgrade your node manager/env manager nodes to 2F4. The 2F2
development and runtime clients are fully compatible with 2F4 servers.

Subject: Accessing multiple Env from single Client-PC
Hi, All!
Is there anybody has any idea to access multiple environments from
single client-PC? I have to have multiple environments because each
environment resides geographically remote node and network bandwidth,
reliability are not good enough to include all the systems into single
environment.
Using Control Panel for doing this is not easy for those who are not
familiar with Windows. The end-user tend to use just single application
to access all necessary services.
I could consider two option to doing this:
1. Make some DOS batch command file to switch different environment
like, copying back/forward between environment repositories and
set up forte.ini for changing FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. After then, invoke
proper client partition(ftexec).
2. Duplicate necessary services among each environment.
But, these two options have many drawbacks in terms of system
management(option 1), performance(option 2) and others.
Has anybody good idea to implement this? Any suggestion would be
appreciated.

Can we call multiple Smartforms from single Driver Prog?

Hi all,
Can we call multiple smartforms from single Driver Program. Here Driver program is custom Program.
I want to give Print Parameter only once and output should get printed one after the another smartform in same order of smarforms were called.
If yes, then how?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can do this in your Smartform driver program.
Each time you call you Smartform function module you will need to change the values in structure OUTPUT_OPTIONS slightly.
On the first call set TDNEWID to X.
After this, set it to space
On the last form set TDFINAL to X.
This will put all of the output into one spool request, in the order they are called in the program.
Regards,
Nick

Regarding two Dimension Hierarchy from Single Dimension

Dear Experts,
I had to develop drill down reports.
We have a CustomerDim which contains columns: Region,Country,State,City,CustomerID,CustomerName
Case 1: Some reports should have drill down levels: Region->Country->State->City->CustomerName
Case 2: Other reports should have drill down levels: Region->Country->City->CustomerName
Case can be achive by creating Dim Hierararchy of CustomerDim with levels Region->Country->State->City->CustomerName.
But how to achive case 2, in which we do not want level *'State'*?
Thanks in advance...

Avi....

Hi,
I think you can find your answer in another post Query selected levels of multiple hierarchies of one dimension

Hyperion Planning : multiple hierarchies for a dimension ?

Hi,
Is it possible into planning 9.2 to manage multiple hierarchies for a dimension ?
I didn't found that in the documentation but I had already listened that there is a workaround to do that.
Regards

Hi,
I would like for the entity dimension used two differents hierarchies (two differents relation Parent/child), one for example used by the accounting service and an other used by the sale service.
The level0 member are the same but parents are differents in these two hierarchies.
It's something possible to do into OFA or EPB and I would like to do the same into Hyperion. planning.

Mask multiple movieclips from single mask

Hi,
h have big movieclip 450X350 and there are many small thumbnails i need to mask those from big movieclip, I need to animate those so that i can't put those in a single movieclip, Is it possible to mask multiple movieclips from single movieclip...?

If you want to mask them using Actionscript then you should be able to place them inside a movieclip/sprite as separate animations/movieclips and then assign the mask to the container.
You can mask multiple layers under one layer if you use the timeline

Multiple dimensions from single logical table

Hi,
I cannot seem to create multiple dimensions based one one single logical table. For example, I have a Time table from which I'd like to create a calendar time dimension and a fiscal time dimension. However, as soon as one dimension is created, I cannot create another dimension from the same logical table.
Is it possible?
Thanks

Jlin,
If I understood your requirement correctly you need to create multiple Hierarchies out of a single Logical Dimension table, this is possibe the base rule for creating a hierarchy is you should have a common starting point( Grand Total Level) and a common ending point( Detail Level), first create this and create sublevels and share the Detail Level as a child. This will allow you to create multiple hiearchies out of a single dimension. One level will have drill down on the Calendar dimension and one one the Fiscal and both will have the common detail key like day key.Hope this helps.

Query selected levels of multiple hierarchies of one dimension

Hi to all.
I have created through AWM 11 a customer dimension with two hierarchies as follows.
SLM_HIER: All Customers -> Salesman -> Customer
GEO_HIER: All Customers -> State -> City -> Customer
I have also created a SALES_CUBE (measures: QUANTITY, VALUE, aggregation: SUM) that is dimensioned with Customer dim.
I'm using OBIEE to query the OLAP engine (through the relational views that AWM created automatically). I have followed the OTN OBE tutorials.
I would like to have the following query on the cube:
Give me QUANTITY where SALESMAN=S1 and CITY in ('Athens','Rome').
Is it possible to have such a query? As far as I understand there are no ready aggregated data for selected levels of both hierarchies.
Thank you very much.
Chris

I think OBIEE would also give you your answer from OLAP.
This query has filters defined from both the hierarchies and hence OBIEE would (should) automatically service this query from the highest common level b/w the hierarchies (in this case: base/leaf level - Customer). As a result of this, if CUST is your Customer dimension, OBIEE (at least, the older style of obiee modeling with olap) would introduce the security filter CUST_LEVEL = 'Customer'. Granularity of the resultset returned would be per individual Customer. 1 record per Customer satisfying the criteria SALESMAN='S1' and CITY in ('Athens','Rome').
Ideally you should include the Cust Id, Quantity columns in your obiee answers report and use an internal answers object/view like a Pivot View to hide Customer details column and get a localized aggregation performed over the resultset returned from OLAP to get the consolidated Quantity. Answers table has data at Customer level, Answers Pivot can show the required result.
Note1: The Cube cannot have this result pre-calculated since its a contradictory combination of filters across hierarchies. Level specific aggregate values calculated (or pre-calculated) in the cube for Salesman level (h1) would contain Customers from all cities (h2) and similarly City level (h2) Aggregates would contain Customers of all Salesmen (h1).
Note2: I believe OBIEE modeling with OLAP suffers from some issues relating to multiple hierarchies (e.g: if you have filter from non-default hierarchy CITY in ('Athens','Rome') alone, i think it would still fetch the results from lowest common level Customer instead of from City level directly).

Dynamically sourcing a table from 2 tables in obiee 11g

Hello,
I am a rookie trying to learn OBIEE and I really need your help in creating rpd from the Oracle_Bi_Sample_app.
It has 2 tables Time_mth and Time_day.
How can I source those 2 tables dynamically into one table as a single logical table in the physical layer itself?
Also it is suggested to create that table in physical layer itself right? And should it exist as a separate table / view or ALias?
Please help.
Thanks
Sai

How can I source those 2 tables dynamically into one table as a single logical table in the physical layer itself?
You have to do it in BMM layer by adding these two as LTS to one Logical table..
Also it is suggested to create that table in physical layer itself right? And should it exist as a separate table / view or ALias?
Best way is to import the physical tables once and create as many Alias tables as much depends on your Requirement..
