Multiple hierarchies in BPC

If an has 3 hierarchies, which hierarchy will be shown in the Member selector dialog box when we click on the dimension to select a different member for the current view?

Hi,
It is related or linked to your Security, if you have total access, you can see all the members of that particular dimension
with the hierachies. You have a radio button to choose " Hierarchy" and "Table". You choose according to your requirement.
I hope this will help you.

Reporting on Multiple Hierarchies (with EvDRE)

Hi all,
I have a question regarding multiple hierarchies in one dimension. So if we have one member that belongs to different hierarchies:
1) can we access it with EvDRE? (I've tried it without success).
2) if not, how can we report accessing the appropriate value (that is, accessing the appropriate hierarchy?)
I would like to be able to access its value and setting up an expansion based on both hierarchies.
Regards,
Rafa

Dear All,
I am New to SAP-BPC.
I am working on financial budget Appication. I created dimensions and uploaded successfully.
I and generated reports.
Now iam prolbem is. I am preparing below reports in BPC-Excel-->Drag & Drop EvDRE Grid.
My report is showing something like below:
BudgetItems   |    Yr-2007 | Yr-2008 |
Publice_Sector|    200     |   220     |
Pvt_Sector      |    400     |   440     |
But i need some thing like below
BudgetItems    |    Yr-2007 | Yr-2008 | Change | % Change |
Publice_Sector |     200     |     220     |      20       |           |
Pvt_Sector       |     400     |     440     |      40       |            |
Here i think i have to write formulas with EvDRE.
Can anyone help me...
Thanks a lot in Advacne..!

Multiple hierarchies in Work Status settings

Hi,
I have datasouce dimension with more than one hierarchy and I need to set work status using multiple hierarchies but Work Status Settings in Admin console allow to specify only one hierarchy in Base Hierarchy.
A possible solution could be to create a new hierarchy that includes the others but I don't like.
Do you have any other idea?
I'm working on SAP BPC 10 MS
Many thanks
Dina

Hi Dina,
as per note 1339135 - How to set dimension hierarchy on work status settings
<If you set "Base Hierarchy" to 2 for a dimension has 3 hierarchies, you cannot set work status for members included in hierarchy 1 and 3 on BPC for Web. Only you can set work status for members of hierarchy 2.>
so I think the only solution is yours.

How to use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query

Hi,
Is there any way that we can use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query. I tried and it just allows me to select one hierarchy even if I use hierarchy variable.
I have a requirement where user wants to see information related to a cost center with different cost center groups in different hierarchies (every year has different cost center group hierarchies).
Suppose I want to see information related to a cost center from year 2001-2004.in these four year cost center may have been associated to different groups depending upon that year hierarchy. How can I do that?
Thanks
Jona

Nope. Now way to do this.
There is always just one hierarchy assigned to a characteristic. And even if the hierarchy was time dependent, it only reads it for one key date and not according to transaction data.

Beat

How to handle Multiple Keyfigures in BPC

Hi,
My BW cube is Keyfigure based, have 0quantity and 0amount. BPC cube is Account based it just has only one keyfigure,however there is a way to post multiple keyfigures to BPC by using MVAL keyword. Not sure how I can use this. Can someone throw more inputs on this.
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks,
Vara

Surya - Is it really requred to ADD new dimension? May be, but better to understand the req and provide advise.
Let us analyze a simple scenario:
Example: BW Cube data
GL ACOOUNT     0AMOUNT     0QUANTITY
Sales                              500             50
Material Cost                              200             20
Labor Cost                              150
Reneeth's Solution: Creating New Dimenstion
ACCOUNT         ZKEYFIGURE     signdata
Sales         ZAMOUNT                           500
sales         ZQUANTITY        50
Material Cost         ZAMOUNT                           200
Material Cost         ZQUANTITY        20
Labor Cost         ZAMOUNT                           150
My Advise: Manage with Existing "ACCOUNT" Dimension. rather adding a new dimension.
ACCOUNT                       Signdata
Sales.Amount     500
Sales.Quantity     50
Material Cost.Amount     200
Material Cost.Quantity     20
Labor Cost                         150
Having more dimensions, in my opinion is addl pain while creating reports and Input Templates.
Thanks

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

Andy

Using HLEVEL Property with Multiple Hierarchies

Hello,
I am trying to use the HLEVEL property on a dimension to indent the rows different amounts. Easy stuff, except I'm doing a row expansion on hierarchy 3 (H3). Using EVPRO(AppName, MemberID, "HLEVEL") always returns the HLEVEL from H1. If you select the same member ID in the member selector under different hierarchies and click the Properties button you can see a different value for HLEVEL, but I can't figure out how to get that in a report using EVPRO.
Is there a way to tell EVPRO specifically which hierarchy to use when returning the value for HLEVEL?
Thanks!
Paul Petersen
Akili

Mike,
please check the answer in this other post:
EVPRO with multiple hierarchies
It's for the MS platform, but it's the same for Netweaver.
EVPRO can only retrieve the HLEVEL for the first hierarchy. You need to maintain further custom properties if you want to get the level of a member within multiple hierarchies.

Multiple Keyfigures in BPC

Hi,
Is there a way to handle multiple keyfigures in BPC in one application?
Please help me understand
Thanks

Navin,
in SAP BW there r 2 main approaches in modilling infocubes:
1. Account Model
2. Keyfigure Model
Account model as u know is an approach when there is only 1 keyfigure in a cube.
Keyfigure model is as approach to create multiple keyfigures in a cube.
In different situations it might be useful to implement 1 or another approach. SAP BPC automatically creates cubes with only 1 keyfigure and there is no possibility to create standart multiple keyfigures via frontend.
Hope that info will be useful for u,
Dzmitry

Drill with multiple Hierarchies

Hi,
I have defined multiple hierarchies in an OLAP universe (like state>region>customer>product or state>region>customer segmentation>Product or state>region>product ...) in order to use the drill functionnality in webi.
In our scenario, each webi report should use only one hierarchy and we don't want the user to have the choice between the different hierarchies when he drills down. So is there a way to define in a webi report what hierarchy should be used?
Thanks,
Gabriel

hi,
As 'State' object is the starting point for both the Hierarchies,
Please duplicate the state object and place it in other class. (as two objects with same name shouldn't exist in same class)
Now edit the second hierarchy such that new State Object will be the starting point.
Also , please ensure that 2nd WEBI report uses new State Object in Query Pane.
This will prevent 1st hierarchy in 2nd webi report.
I tried this out and it's working.

Vamsee

Support for Multiple Hierarchies defined for the same GL Segment

Hi,
In our eBS setup, we have multiple hierarchies defined for a GL Segment.
OOTB, BI Apps 7.9.6.3 provides support for 10 Segments, and it's corresponding Hierarchies (1 Hierarchy for each Segment).
My question here is whether OOTB BI Apps 7.9.6.3 supports Multiple Hierarchies for the same Segment?+
Thanks,
Ab

no it is not supported OOTB as of today
you need to customize ETL mappings and OBIEE metadata to include hierarchy identifiers from the EBS segment definitions.
Then you have to consider that filtering a hierarchy identifier becomes mandatory during query execution to avoid aggregation of duplicated values.

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,
D

Using HLEVEL with multiple hierarchies

Hi all,
Is there a way to pass a parameter to the HLEVEL keyword to specifiy which hierarchy (Parent H1,H2, H3, etc.) to use when pulling the HLEVEL?
We would like to use HLEVEL for report formatting however we need the ability to choose the hiearchy.
Thanks!
Mike

Multiple hierarchies with a shared higher level in OBIEE

Hello all,
I'm trying to create multiple hierarchies for a shared dimension in OBIEE. I have gotten these to work in the past when each hierarchy for the dimension all shares the common “grand total” level at the top, but I now I'd like multiple hierarchies that share a common higher level that isn't the grand total level.
Here's what I'm trying to do with a Customer Geography hierarchy. I want to give the user the option to drill from the customer "Country" and go either into "Cities" or "States":
Grand Total level
--->Country level
------> State level
---------> Customer detail level
------> City level
---------> Customer detail level
So "Country" is the common parent of "State" and "City", and "State" and "City" each have" Customer detail" as the lowest level. The Admin Tool let's me build exactly this in my RPD (with no errors/warnings), but when I go to drill on Country in an Answers report, I don't get the option to navigate down to State or City; it just automatically drills into the underlying states -- never shows cities.
I guess I was hoping there'd be a pop up option to ask the user which path I wanted to drill down on (kind of like what shows up for multiple navigation targets in an Answers request).
Am I missing a setup step in my RPD for this multiple hierarchy? Is a shared higher level multiple hierarchy even possible in OBIEE?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Thanks mma for the help. I thought I saw in your reply this link as well to RittmanMead, but it's not showing up now?
http://www.rittmanmead.com/files/Advanced%20Development%20using%20OBIEE%20(ODTUG%202008).pdf
Anyway, on slide 37 of Rittman's presentation, that screen shot he has of Country, City, and State is exactly what I am attempting to do. I was hoping my issue would be a bit more straightforward than the recommended ragged hierarchy work arounds, but I may still have to do something like that in the end.
This issue just seems more simple than ragged hierarchies, because I start from the same level and end up back at the exact same level (instead of different destination levels as can be the case in ragged hierarchies). I don't know -- maybe my example is ragged as well.
If Rittman got that hierarchy in his screen shot on slide 37 to work like I'm trying to, then that would be perfect. :)

Dimension Design - Single Dimension with Multiple Hierarchies

Morning,
the purpose of this discussion is to understand how we should design a specific dimension with 3 levels and multiple hierarchies for optimal performance.
We have an institution dimension with the following characteristics:
Characteristics
Dimension: Institution
Levels:
1. Total Bank (TB) Level
2. Peer Group (PG) Level
3. Institution Level
Hierarchies:
1. Some of the hierarchies have 3 levels and others have only 2 levels (Skip Level)
2. ALL the hierarchies have a TB level and an Institution level
3. None of the hierarchies have the same leafs
4. Some of the hierarchies leafs can overlap
Design:
We are considering two approaches for the institution dimension levels:
a)
Levels:
Hierarchy 1 TB Level
Hierarchy 1 PG Level
Hierarchy 1 Inst Level
Hierarchy 2 TB Level
Hierarchy 2 Inst Level
Hierarchy 3 TB Level
Hierarchy 3 Inst Level
Note:
This approach is working and the resulting dimension and cubes are used by OBIEE, but some of the OBIEE analysis takes a long time (more than a minute) to return the results.
At this point, we are not sure whether this approach will result in an optimal design from a performance perspective and are looking at restructuring the dimension to represent only the three conceptual levels as indicated below.
b)
Levels:
1. Total Bank (TB) Level
2. Peer Group (PG) Level
3. Institution Level
The rest of the dimension i.e. hierarchies, attributes and mappings are defined in the same way.
The cube associated with this dimension have approximately 80 million records.
Please advise on any best practices or design considerations that we need to take into account.
Thanks

No, it is not possible to have multiple hiearchies in a PC logical dimension.
The concept of the Parent-Child (PC) hierarchy is completely different from the level-based hierarchy. Specifically the PC hierarchy expects a predefined / architected table with corresponding PC column/value structuring with or without attributes.
Short story even shorter it is not possible.
Longer...
In the RPD the BMM actually prevents you from adding a new logical level, child level, or parent level when you have selected that the logical dimension be a parent child logical dimension with Parent-Child hierarchy.
On another note...
Have you tried architecting/building your PC source table so that it represents the roll-up and bottom child-levels like you are seeking? That is, that same member in the child column more than once having a separate parent value. That should be doable.
That was a great question, please award points if this answered your question or it was helpful.
Cheers,
Christian

Multiple Hierarchies on single characteristic in BEx

In BEx 3.5 Is there a way to display multiple hierarchies/groups on one characteristic? For example, reporting by a Cost Element with several child hierarchy subgroups from differnt parents. An orphanage if you will.
I try that and the fisrt group displays but the rest are in Not Assigned area.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of. I'm finding that to be true as well. I tried building a custom hierarchy based on sub-groups of other hierarchies. Not possible either. That would be a nice feature to have, so that the sub-groups are maintianed as they are from the source.
