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.

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,

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 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.

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

Can we use two hierarchies off a single characteristic in the same query?

Dear Bwers,
I have a requirement where the user wants to see a query with two hierarchies at the same time on a single characteristic.Is this possible? If so please let me know how to model them in BW?
Thanks for all the help in advance
Raj

Maybe you can create a copy of this characteristic and then create another hierarchy on this one.

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.

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.

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,

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).

Discoverer support for multiple hierarchies

Hi all,
is it true that Discoverer supports only a single hierarchy per Analytic Workspace dimension?
If this is true what is the recommended work-around:
- create an AW dimension per hierarchy?
- forget about analytic workspaces and take a ROLAP approach?
- other?
thank you in advance for any hints
Nikos

I'm not a discoverer user, so what I say might not apply, but in general it usually doesn't make sense to select members from multiple hierarchies. This would give end users of a report the ability to select values that don't accurately represent the total levels displayed.
I guess my questions would be:
a) what business value does picking dim values from multiple hierarchies serve?
and
b) it is possible in discoverer to simply not select any hierarchy and just choose the dimension values without one? Would that solve your problem?
I guess high level this doesn't sound like either a bug or non-functional support issue, it sounds more like intended functionality.
Let us know what your needs are! Maybe we can give a better answer if we know what business problem you are trying to solve.
Thx,
Scott

            } catch (error:Error) {
            imgMc.addChild(image);

        private function onImageLoadFailed(Evt:IOErrorEvent):void {
            trace("Image Loading Failed");
            dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD_FAIL"));
Here I am loading some images using the above class in a for loop, like
            for (var i=0; i < 3; i++) {
                //imgLoader=new ImageLoader;
                imgLoader.addEventListener("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD",onImageLoad);
                var target:MovieClip=videolist_mc["list" + mcCount + "_mc"];
                target.list_mc.visible=false;
                var imgObj:Object=new Object;
                imgObj.FilePath=list[i].Thumbnail;
                imgObj.Url=list[i].Url;
                imgObj.Target=list[i].Target;
                target.list_mc.urlObj=new Object ;
                target.list_mc.urlObj=imgObj;
                imgLoader.loadImage(target.list_mc.imgholder_mc,imgObj);
                target.list_mc.lable_txt.htmlText="<b>" + list[i].Label + "</b>";
                target.list_mc.imgholder_mc.buttonMode=true;
                target.list_mc.imgholder_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onItemPressed);
                mcCount++;
In this case, the ImageLoader.as works only on the last movie clip from the for loop. For example, if i am trying to load three image in three movie clips namely img_mc1,img_mc2 and img_mc3 using the for loop and ImageLoader.as, I am getting the image loaded in the third movie clip only img_mc.
See at the same time, If i uncomment onething in the for loop that is
//imgLoader=new ImageLoader;
its working like a charm. But I know creating class objects in a for loop is not a good idea and also its causes some other problems in my application.
So, help to get rid out of this problem.
Thanks

BAPI to update a single characteristic in IE02

Hi,
I am trying to update a single characteristic in IE02.I am able to do that with the BAPI "BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE",but this BAPI is updating only 1 characteristic and is initializing all the remaining characteristcs.
Any pointers on this is highly appreciable.
Navin

Hi,
the documentation of the bapi says:
Caution
This BAPI only changes the parameters of an existing assignment (or creates a whole new assignment), but it does not delete the assignment to a class and replace it with an assignment to another class. If you want to reassign an object, the old assignments must be read with BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES and deleted with BAPI_OBJCL_DELETE, then the new assignments must be created with BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE.
The information transferred by this BAPI replaces all old information. An empty field means "delete entry!", not "no change".
This BAPI does not change the database. To change the database, call BAPI BapiService.TransactionCommit afterwards.
You can only use this BAPI for objects that are not classes!
This BAPI only processes assigned values for classification - not for configuration
so i guess you have to pass all information you do not want to lose.
i´ve found this as well:
