OBIEE 11g data flow hierarchy

We have a table location which contains data like
LOC_ID,COUNTRY,STATE,CITY
1,INDIA,KARNATAKA,BANGALORE
2,INDIA,KARNATAKA,MYSORE
3,INDIA,MAHARASHTRA,MUMBAI
4,INDIA,MAHARASHTRA,PUNE
5,INDIA,HARYANA,CHANDIGARH
6,INDIA,DELHI,
Hierarchy is defined on COUNTRY, STATE and CITY.
First we want to display the data as
-----------------------------------COUNTRY
-----------------------------------INDIA
After clicking on INDIA it should drill down to state level
-----------------------------------COUNTRY-------------------------------
-----------------------------------INDIA------------------------------------
STATE-------------STATE----------------STATE----------STATE
KARNATAKA-----MAHARASHTRA----HARYANA------DELHI
After clicking on the state level it should further drill down to
----------------------------------------------COUNTRY------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------INDIA------------------------------------------
----------STATE----------------STATE----------------STATE----------------STATE
----------KARNATAKA--------MAHARASHTRA----HARYANA------------DELHI
CITY------------CITY---------CITY-------CITY------CITY
BANGALORE--MYSORE----MUMBAI--PUNE------HANDIGARH
The arrows also should be visible in the report ....
Please let us know how to implement in OBIEE 11g reports?
Is it possible to use any java scripts to implement the same?

guys I found a work around for this problem, I made a logical column and i used the this expression:
"ALM"."Dim Product"."LEVEL_16_NAME" || ' - ' || "ALM"."Dim Product"."LEVEL_16_CODE" , these two columns contains the desc. and the code for the product
and then I made this column as a key and in the display columns.
it works as i want but still considered a work around.
thanks anyway :)

OBIEE 11g - Navigation from Hierarchy Column

Hi Experts,
I have created one Organization Hierarchy (Country --> Region --> State --> City) in the Logical Layer of the rpd and pull that hierarchy with the dimension in the Presentation Layer. In the new analysis I have created dashboard prompt with the Organization hierarchy and created a report showing Total Headcount column and Organization Hierarchy column (using selection steps feature in OBIEE 11g).
Now when I select Region from the dashboard prompt, in the report it is showing me total headcount according to my region selected in the prompt, but when I tried to navigate from the Total Headcount to see the list of employees in that particular region, I am not able to see the list of employees belonging that particular region rather it is showing me the list of total employees at the Country level.
PS - In the navigation report I am prompting Country, Region, State and City from the Organization dimension, but I am not able to prompt Country, Region, State and City from the hierarchy column which is there in the Organization dimension.
Please Help.

Hi,
You need to create the drill down report also using selection steps. I tried the drill down was working fine.
Thanks

OBIEE 11g Parent Child hierarchy

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a parent-child hierarchy dimension. I have setup a new hierarchy dimension using numeric keys but want to display another field in the hierarchical column on a report e.g. employee fullname & not the member_key based on a numeric value. Can this be done & how do you do it? All the examples I have seen use varchar2 type columns as the keys to do this.
Thanks in advance, Phil
My Setup
=============
Dimension - logical level
===============
member key = employee_id
parent-child table source
===============
member key = employee_id
parent key = supervisor_id
relationship distance = levels_removed
leaf node identifier = isleaf
Employee logical folder
==============
employee_id ( number)- primary key
full_name (varchar2) - unique key
supervisor_id ( number)
Closure table
=========
employee_id ( number)
supervisor_id ( number)
level ( number)
isleaf ( number)

Thanks for the link Suresh but the aggregations are working correctly.
My problem is only at the display level. I need to create a dashboard that displays the complete hierarchy.
So for example if I have this hierarchy:
- Steven King
- Adam Frip
Alexis Bull
Anthony Cabrio
Alberto Erraruriz
Den Raphaely
I want the dashboard to display immediately that complete hierarchy. If someone adds a member to the hierarchy in the database, the dashboard should display this new member without having to manually modify the dashboard.
- Steven King
- Adam Frip
Alexis Bull
Anthony Cabrio
- Alberto Erraruriz
Mozhe Atkinson
Den Raphaely
Also, if I just manually open the hierarchy and save the dashboard, if "Steven King" is replaced by "Shanta Vollman", the dashboard doesn't like it and returns a result looking like:
- Adam Frip
Alexis Bull
Anthony Cabrio
- Alberto Erraruriz
Mozhe Atkinson
Den Raphaely
+ Shanta Vollman
So I'm looking for some option that will tell OBIEE to open the hierarchy without having to specify "Drill down on member "Steven King"", "Drill down on member "Adam Frip"...
I hope I'm explaining correctly...

OBIEE 11g Data Download issue

Hi,
One of our user is not able to download data in any format in production in his PC - OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0
When export link is clicked, a pop us comes up saying that "Do you want to save saw.dll? from analytics.xxx.com"
I am not able to save the file and IE hangs.
The user is using IE9.

Hi.
This seems to be a problem related to IE9.
Check this.
2. OBIEE does not support the use of IE9's Document Mode and Browser Mode settings to emulate versions of Internet Explorer other than the installed version.
More info about certification you will find at the following documentation.

OBIEE 11g - Data Fetch Issue.

Hi,
I am facing this weird issue regarding data fetching while executing Reports in OBIEE 11.1.1.5. When I login to the BI user interface and execute any report for the first time, everything is working fine. Bt after that I am not able to execute any report later. Even the report executed for the first time, when I rebuilt and execute it I cannot see the data this time. The Results user interface says - The layout of this view combined with the data,selections,drills or prompt values choosen resulted in no data.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dev.

Hi,
I also encounter the same issue. When I view combined layout, I get the No Results message. But when I edit the table layout, I see that there are records returned. Does anyone had any luck in resolving this issue?
Thanks!

Action Link in obiee 11g for a Hierarchy Drill Down Level

Hi
Requirement is:
We have a Time Dimension Hierarchy with drill down Levels(Year, Qtr, Month, Day). So now i wanted to provide an action link on detailed column(day) which will navigate to other report. I have tried doing it but unable to get the actual solution.
Can anyone throw some ideas on how to achieve this.
Thank You

Hi,
Can u tell me whats the error you r getting over ther,
Use the hierarchy flow, starts with the + symbol,
edit the column properties and go for interaction tab and give action link + drill
check the columns between the 2 reports and assign prompts between the reports then you can get the correct one.
Regards,
VG

OBIEE 11g level based hierarchy

Hi everyone,
here is my problem in brief
I made a level based hierarchy for Products, and I need to show the product name beside the product code in the last level in the hierarchy, the steps i made to reach this is as follows:
1- making the name and the code columns keys in the last level (in business model).
2- making the name and the code as display columns (in presentation).
what happens when i do this it shows only one of them depends on the order in the "display column" area
My OBIEE version is 11.1.1.6
is it a bug or something ?
thanks a lot in advance.

guys I found a work around for this problem, I made a logical column and i used the this expression:
"ALM"."Dim Product"."LEVEL_16_NAME" || ' - ' || "ALM"."Dim Product"."LEVEL_16_CODE" , these two columns contains the desc. and the code for the product
and then I made this column as a key and in the display columns.
it works as i want but still considered a work around.

OBIEE 11g after expand Hierarchy Columns move the page to where the expand was clicked

Hi,
I have a question about expanding the hierarchy columns.
I have made so that some information are only show when press the + sign to expand extra information.
The problem I am having is that when the + sign is pressed to expand the content, the whole page get refresh and move back to the top of the page.
Is there a way to stay where the screen was after expanding, instead of going back to the top of page?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Niraj,
I think you are on 11.1.1.5 + version here. Now, that you have two security realms configured (one for AD and one default), please add one more parameter virtualize = true in the EM (just the page where you added user.name etc).
This parameter would help BI Server recognize the two realms set up here.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

OBIEE 11G with MySql Issue Hierarchy is not working..

Hi,
i am using the OBIEE 11G with MySQL DB. i have sucessfully created the RPD. i created the Hierarchy in the RPD. this is the scerario i have created.
i have only one data column created_at. by using this column i create 3 more logical logical columns, which are Year,Month Name,Week and created Hierarchy by taking the these columns only.
when i am viewing the result by taking the hierarchy it throwing the error systax error"ou have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version".
but we selecting the year column it successfully nagvigating to the month level data but when selecting the Hierarchy directly it is unable to navigate from year to month.
please provide me the solution for this as soon as possbile i have an urgent requirement on this.
Thanks,
Yogi.

Hi,
Thanks for you post..
My Requriement is that we no need to create new columns we need to necessary columns in BMM layer only and we need to use them in Hierarchy.
Thanks,
Yogi.

Parent Child Hierarchy Issue in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I am in OBIEE 11G v6. I have a sales fact table where the grain is one sale. So I have one row for every sale done.
Now I have a ragged employee hierarchy like this with David at the root node.
David >>Richard>>Sean
David >>James
Also, I have a role dimension which gives me what role each employee has performed on a sale. Only one employee can be associated with one sale. This is the way Roles have been asssigned
David = Manager
Richard = Off1
Sean = Off2
James = Off2
Both Sean and James can have same Roles. Now I have created a parent child hierarchy for my employee dimension and the closure table. Defined the member key, ancestor key relationship in the parent child setting etc.
Now in the report when I pull the parent child hierarchy and the sales_amount in the report, it comes out perfect with all the ragged hierarchy resolved. But the issue comes when I try to limit the report on Role = Off2. It gives me an error saying " The layout of this view combined with the data, selection , drills resulted in no data. Undo drill and view prompt values". Basically what i want is to be able to select any role type and then my hierarchy should be adjusted to show me that data. Like when I select Off2, I want to see David at the Top level and Sean and James under him because they are both Off 2 and David is their manager.
Is that possbile? Also, am I getting this error because when I select Off2 though it gets Sean and James but since David is not Off2, I don't get the data?
I hope I was able to explain the issue, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ronny

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 ?

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

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

OBIEE 11g Unable to browse multiple value hierarchy for analysis.

Hi All,
We are using OBIEE 11g Value Hierarchy feature to display GL Segment Hierarchies.
-     We have set the hierarchies to be Ragged and Skipped Levels in the RPD Business Model.
-     We have dragged the hierarchies from Business Model to Presentation Layer.
-     When selecting the hierarchies during Analysis, the first hierarchy that is browsed appears correctly. The next hierarchy when browsed just hangs.
For example:
Step 1: Browse Hierarchy1 (Block). The values show correctly.
Step 2: Browse Hierarchy2 (Account). The hierarchy does not open with a blinking circle remaining forever.
Alternatively;
If we selected, Hierarchy 2(Account) first, the hierarchy shows correctly, but when selecting Hierarchy1 (Block) a blinking circle appears and remains for ever without opening the hierarchy.
The nqquery.log shows correct result. My suspicion is that the issue is on the front end presentation services/javascript side.
Is there any additional setup/configuration required to open multiple value hierarchies during analysis.
Thanks and Regards,
Sasi

I have a pretty good guess at the hanging problem, unforntunitly i have no solutions yet.
I having same type of issue, hangs when building filters on for 2nd or 3rd dim table.. I can see obiee fireing off the query to populate the dropdown by running
select distinct on and joining to the fact table and dimensions that the users usually have selecte prior to start creatinng the filters.
It is sort of like doing a intra dimension filter.. Sounds good but if user does not cut way down on number of fact rows by the time 2nd filtered column is selected the generated query to populate the drop down can run and run.
OBI SE Once and discoverer dd not do this, at least not out of the box.

Deliver data to external web service possible in OBIEE 11g?

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of "pushing" data from OBIEE and out to an external web service, e.g. through executing a scheduled report that instead of delivering the result on screen, it would call an external web service that would consume the generated data for storage in an external system.
Does anyone know if this is possible to implement in OBIEE 11g? (So far, all I've found is how to display data in OBIEE through consumation of web service(s), but I'd like to "push out" data to a web service from OBIEE).
Regards,
-Haakon-

OBIEE 11g Report UI not showing data

Hi,
On Obiee 11g Report, the query hit by the report at the backend shows results for all the columns but on UI only few of these columns show the data. From Query log, when I run the same query in the database I see all columns have data which is somehow not showing up on the UI end. What could be the problem? Can this be resolved or is it a bug in the OBIEE 11g?
Regards
VM

Hi Vanaja M/Gurus,
Is that your problem resolved?
I'm facing same issue here.
I was checking for solution/suggestions in blogs, but unfortunately i couldn't find much information in blogs too....
Can you help me out to cross this hurdle, as this issue is in Production.
