Multiple Hierarchies in Single Forest

Hi,
I’m really struggling to understand how SCCM 2012 would work in this scenario.
We have a single forest with 3 child domains. In the first of the child domains we have a SCCM 2007 hierarchy and in the second we have a SCCM 2012 hierarchy. We’d like to install a new hierarchy in the parent domain which will support clients in the third
domain (and longer term the other two).
If we install a primary server in the parent domain and allow it to publish it’s MP to the Sys Man container, will the SCCM clients in the existing child domains (with SCCM installations) query AD and attempt to use the primary server in the parent
domain?
Thanks,
Gareth

The answer is both yes and no. It will all depend on how you setup your boundaries. If the clients are not withing the boundaries then they will not try to use it.

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,

Facing issue while provisioning to AD which is in multiple domain in single forest

Hi All,
I am facing issue while user provisioning to AD which is in multiple domain in single forest.I can Synchronize the OU and Groups from Global Catalog i.e. root domain,but unable to Synchronize OU and Groups from child domains.Following is depict of my domain.
Root -------   example.com
         |_______doamin1.example.com
         |_______doamin2.example.com
         |_______domain3.example.com
My global catalog is example.com where I have configure my connector.Following is the snippets of it.
Parameter
Value
ADLDSPort
BDCHostNames
Configuration Lookup
Lookup.Configuration.ActiveDirectory.Trusted
Connector Server Name
Active Directory Connector Server
Container
DC=example,DC=com
DirectoryAdminName
DWPTEST\adm
DirectoryAdminPassword
DomainName
example.com
IsADLDS
no
LDAPHostName
GlobalCatalog server name -> where my root domain is present
SyncDomainController
SyncGlobalCatalogServer
GlobalCatalog server name -> where my root domain is present
UseSSL
no
Above configuration I am using to Synch my OU and Groups using scheduler Job.Following changes I have made in connector configuration.
1. Set the value of the SearchChildDomains entry to yes in one of the following lookup definitions:
For trusted source reconciliation: Lookup.Configuration.ActiveDirectory.Trusted
For target resource reconciliation: Lookup.Configuration.ActiveDirectory
2. Specify the name of the domain controller that is hosting the Global Catalog Server as the value of the SyncGlobalCatalogServer IT resource parameter.
For provisioning purpose I am trying to find following configuration which is mentioned in connector document,but unable to locate it.
In the connector, the referral chasing option is set to All, which means that all referrals are chased when any referral is provided by the domain controller
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nitin Natekar

Hi All,
Thanks all for the reply.I was not getting an error,but once I changed the connector configuration,It started working. I Kept the LDAPHostName parameter blank in connector configuration.
Thanks all for reply

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 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.

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.

Multiple hierarchies single dimension single report

I am trying to add multiple hierarchies from a single dimension in a single report. To create the hierarchy in BI admin I followed the instructions found here
Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.3/2 &#8211; One Dimension &#8211; Multiple Hierarchies &laquo; Business Intelligence &am…
and here
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2440305
My Patient hierarchy looks like the this
All Patients->Gender->Patient ID
All Patients->Age Group->Patient ID
When I drag and drop the second hierarchy in the Criteria Oracle BI Answers says the following "...you can only add one hierarchy per dimension to a report". I deduct that what I am trying to do is not possible!:-)
Q1: Is this feature indeed not supported or am I doing something wrong?
Q2: If this is not supported can someone explain why?
Version Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.6.0

a) Reporting across levels of 2 hierarchies is not supported. As explained below, you cannot use OLAP to get aggregate values at cross combination of levels from hierarchies: H1 and H2.
However if you wish to, you can report at the lowest level, Patient, common to both hierarchies and display the Age Group as well as Gender attributes corresponding to each patient. This becomes reporting at Patient/lowest level. You can of course use the capabilities of the reporting tool like obiee to use a Pivot object (say) and exclude Patient columns like Id, name etc. and get obiee to perform localized summaries within the reporting layer and get summarizations of interest. OBIEE Pivot measures allow for aggregation using Min, Max, Sum, Count, Running Sum etc. OLAP facilitates this solution but does not particularly help in the aggregation (since aggregation is now being done in obiee and not as per cube definition rules in olap aw). It acts as a source for information at the lowest level stored in the cube. Some performance degradation would result but it may be acceptable/manageable depending on the data volumes/report criteria.
NOTE: For workaround/solution, use the regular fields, not hierarchical columns, from OBIEE presentation layer.
b) Not supported: OLAP Cubes contain pre-calculated (or dynamically calculated) summaries at various level of each hierarchy. This aids in faster reporting performance. Allowing 2 hierarchies at the same time defeats this feature/goal. A cross combination of levels across different hierarchies requires a dynamic recalculation of the detail records to get the right values for, say, Age Group: 30-39 and Gender: Male. H1 summaries at AgeGroup level for Age Group: 30-39 cover all genders and cannot be split up into male/female w/o recalculation. Similarly H2 summaries at Gender level for Gender: Male cover all age groups. Splitting it up is not possible except via workaround/ solution explained in (a).
Hope that helps.

Exchange 2003 migrate to Exchange 2010 - single forest multiple domain. Active Sync problem

Hi All,
I have AD single forest and multiple domain. for example, the forest domain is jakarta.co.id, and the other domain is bali.co.id.
Exchange 2003 deployed in jakarta.co.id, User mail enabled in domain jakarta.co.id and bali.co.id.
Then, I upgrade to Exchange 2010 (deploy in jakarta.co.id) and move mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.
All users in bali.co.id are able to access email from Owa, BlackBerry (BIS), Outlook, but cannot access from Android, Windows Phone. (Active-Sync).
I got error information generated from https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com, as following:
Attempting the FolderSync command on the Exchange ActiveSync session.
The test of the FolderSync command failed.
Tell me more about this issue and how to resolve it
Additional Details
Exchange ActiveSync returned an HTTP 500 response (Internal Server Error).
Active-Sync still not work even I check option "Include inheritable permissions from this object" in security tab.
any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks.

Single Element in Multiple hierarchies

Hi ,
Is it possible to have single element in multiple hierarchies in OBI EE .Lets say I have an prebuilt hierarchies
Programs-->Campaigns and Offer--> Treatment?
Can i create one more hierarchy Programs--> Campaigns --> Offer.It doesnot allow me to drag the offer_name to any other hierarchy since offer--> treatment hierarchy is present.
Any pointers?
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav

Hi YSS,
Thanks for yopur reply.
The example which u sent to me is different to the requirement which iam looking for.Here is the more detailed abt my scenario.I have a cost element and under this cost element i have for example 4 hierarchies.under each hierarchy there are several sub nodes.in my query i want to disply like this.
Hierarchy 1       Kf1 Kf2 Kf3
    sub node 1
      sub node 2
       Result
Hierarchy 2
    sub node 1
      sub nde 2
       Result
I hope now its more clear.please let me know if its possible and also can u explain how we can create Hierarchy variables to enable end user to select required hierarchies while running the query.
Thanks,

SCCM 2012 AD Publishing in a Single Forest Multiple Domains

Hi there,
Let me explain the situation first so that you get the idea. We have a single forest, multiple child domains AD environment. For some reasons each domain is being managed separately by their geographic location IT.
Forest has been extended for SCCM by the site who holds the forest root domain. Since everyone wants to manage their own domain and systems, each child domain have their own primary site server.
In one of the domains I have installed brand new SCCM 2012 R2. I haven't done anything yet, havent turned on any discovery except Heartbeat. Now I see one device, which belongs to another domain with totally separate IP address, shows in my SCCM site. I dont
know why.
From here question arises for me. Correct me if I'm wrong and please advice what to do domain/forest wide.
1. System Container is needed in each child domain, not in the forest, right?
2. Where does/should each SCCM primary site publish information; in each domain or in the forest root domain?
3. Under Administration > Overview > Site Configuration > Sites > Properties > Publishing I see forest root domain name and its checked.
Under Administration > Overview > Hierarchy Configuration > Active Directory Forests > Properties > Publishing my site is checked and its the only one in there. In that same window I went ahead and specified my own domain hoping
to cure the possible problem.
So, why would that one device show up in this site? I have disabled Heartbeat together with other discoveries for now till I make everything ready.
Thanks for your help in advance.

1. Under Administration > Overview > Site Configuration > Sites > Properties > Publishing If I uncheck forest root domain will devices on my child domain still be able to find my site server?
2. Under Administration > Overview > Hierarchy Configuration > Active Directory Forests > Properties > Publishing my site is checked and its the only one in there. In that same window I went ahead and specified my own domain
hoping to cure the possible problem. Is this a good practice?
3. "When clients look for ConfigMgr info, they use GC lookups meaning they return objects from every System Management container in the forest." So, which one do clients choose and how?
4. "For that one device, have you opened its properties and examined it?" Yes, what abou it? Its found based on Heartbeat Discovery agent (when heartbeat was enabled).
5. "Have you reviewed the boundaries and boundary groups set up for site assignment?" Yes, as I mentioned this device belongs to different domain and totally outside of my AD site and SCCM boundaries.
This is fresh install and not in production yet. I have disabled Heartbeat temporarily so that I fix this problem. I will enable it after.

Understanding Lync 2013 Deployment for Single forest multiple domain Infrastructure

Hello Everyone,
I have an issue in understanding a deployment scenario of Lync 2013 Enterprise edition.
We have a single forest multiple domain infra.
My My question here is, while AD prep, do we need to run Domainprep on every domain in the forest.
Thanks!
Thank You!!! BR, Ammi.

Hi Ammi,
To prepare Active Directory Domain Services for your Lync Server 2013 deployment, you must perform three steps in a specific sequence.
1.
Preparing the Active Directory schema in Lync Server 2013
Extends the Active Directory schema by adding new classes and attributes that are used by Lync Server.
Run once for each forest in your deployment where Lync Server will be deployed.
2. Preparing the forest for Lync Server 2013
Creates global settings and universal groups that are used by Lync Server.
Run once for each forest in your deployment where Lync Server will be deployed.
3. Preparing domains for Lync Server 2013
Adds permissions on objects to be used by members of universal groups.
Run once per user domain or server domain.
Hope it can be helpful.
Best regards,
Eric

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

How many ADFS farms can you have in a single forest/single domain?

Hi
I may have some terminology incorrect...please let me know if I do. :)
My question is, how many ADFS farms can you have in a single forest/single domain? If you want to know why I am asking...please read on.
We have 1 ADFS Farm and we are looking adding services to it. However not every cloud vendor provides a "Identity Broker" with there services.
We have a consultant that is advising that we need to enable a SAML-based IdP-initiated single sign-on (SSO) ie using "IdpInitiatedSignOnPage"
However to do this we need to modify the ADFS website to have "drop down" list so the user can select the "Relying Party" and then authentication with them.
This means we are exposing a list of every company/party we have federated with. The exposure of this information, is deemed a security concern by our company....which I agree with.
So the consultant advises that we need a separate ADFS farm. I have searched online, but haven't found any information that confirms multiple ADFS farms can be implemented in a single forest/single domain.
Thanks for reading and if you have any other suggestions...I'd appreciate it.
Nyobi

This is not exactly FIM related question - there is ADFS forum available on Technet. However - technically there is no limit of ADFS farms in a forest \ domain. It is just a service which uses AD and is not altering it in any way or storing some forest-wide
information like Exchange. So you can setup two ADFS services in single forest - no problem.
If it is a best solution to your problem? I can't say with that limited information but maybe just customization of pages on ADFS side would be enough?

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.

Multiple hierarchies in one dimesion

Hi all,
I am new in using AWM. I have problem when using two hierarchies in one dimension. This is sample of dimension.
A
---+B
-----+B1
-------+B2
---------+B3
---+C
-----+C1
-------+C2
---------+C3
Dimension is A and it has two hierarchies B and C. Maintaining the cube is succesfull. But when "add" this cube in OBIEE and try to make request using B1 and C1 we are getting error. How we can have mulitple hierarchies in one dimension and combine columns from hierarchies? We are using database 11g, AWM 11.2.0.2 and OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
Thanks all

Maybe you need to join the generic dimension view A_VIEW with the fact-cube view in the physical layer of rpd on the basis of the key corresponding to the (common) lowest level of the dimension.
Regd your dimension hierarchy setup:
A
---+B
-----+B1
-------+B2
---------+B3
---+C
-----+C1
-------+C2
---------+C3It looks like you have column/level B3 as leaf level of hierarchy B and C3 as leaf level of hierarchy C.
Is this distinction piurely logical and the same physical column is used to represent both B3 and C3?
Then A_VIEW and Fact view should be joined on basis of this single common level key column.
Generally a dimension A with multiple hierarchies B and C will work fine when you have a common lowest level D, say, which acts as the leaf level for both hierarchies of the dimension.
Can you model the hierarchy as
A
---+B
-----+B1
-------+B2
---------+B3
-----------+D
---+C
-----+C1
-------+C2
---------+C3
-----------+D NOTE1: Same level/column D acts as leaf level of Hierarchy B as well as Hierarchy C. We should not use 2 different columns D1 and D2 even if they contain the same data
NOTE2: Dimension A is joined to Fact F1 via level/column D.
In that case, you can issue a query against Fact F1 which uses both level columns B and C from different hierarchies of A against a measure defined in Fact table F1.
You can even add a filter (where clause) on columns B/C/both B and C as required.
Result will be at the granularity of level D (not summarized to either level B along HI_B hierarchy or level C along HI_C hierarchy) -- 1 record per distinct member at Level D of default hierarchy with the corresponding values for columns B and C available as part of the output since they are ancestor fields and availble at level D. A smart reporting tool like OBIEE or BO can even exclude the column corresponding to D locally within a pivot and create ad-hoc, report level, pivot table based local summaries (aggregated results for each combination of values in columns B and C).
