Obiee 11g hierarchy columns download into csv format.

When using hierarchical columns, Is there a way to download the results as the user see it on the view (be it table or pivot view) into a CSV format.
Excel format works, but if the user drill down on the hierarchy column and then export in CSV format... the data gets exported to the level the report was originally set.
Is there any way to change this behavior?
One option we can recommend to users is to download in excel format and then convert to CSV....if needed.
FYI, we just starting looking into 11g 11.1.1.5 version... planning to migrate from 10g to 11g...
Thanks

Weird behaviour of OBIEE 11g hierarchy columns

Hi,
I'm facing this weird issue when i implement the OBIEE 11g new feature called hierarchy column.The issue is that the last value in the hierarchy is reporting
Example
Store Heir-achy
->Store Country
->Store City
->Store name
->Store Name
->Store name (And the level goes on and on).
I don't know why this weird thing is happening.Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunny.

Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour. IN regards to the Logical Dimension, yes it is set with two LTS with the applicable content levels set. I even tried that as just 1 LTS doing the join through the General tab. Still the same behaviour with the drill-down. I am assuming it will always go through the full drill path regardless of what level the Fact you are hitting is at.

Converting excel source into csv format

Hi,
I have to convert excle source into csv format.
my excel source has around 40000 records.
Please give me the suggestions how to do it.
Thanks,
Venkat

Or, if this is going to be an ongoing issue with new files needing to be converted, there are several utilities out there of various quality and price which can be considered. A quick google turned up a whole host of options for various platforms.
I can't comment on any of them as I haven't used them, but clearly there are several converters with command-line interfaces which should be capable to be utilized as an external command in your process flow.
Like: http://www.softinterface.com/Convert-XLS/Features/Convert-XLS-To-CSV.htm
Heck, if you really want to have fun and DIY, I know that there are native Perl Excel modules, so you could always build your own and make it cross-platform!

Loading into CSV format file

I'm trying to load data into csv format file, by adding "," at the "Text Delimiter" at the "Files" tab. However, it adds several commas as:
,aaaaaa , ,aaaaaaaa , ,aa,
,bbbbbb , ,bbbbbbbb , ,bb,
,cccccc , ,cccccccc , ,cc,
Can anyone confirm if it's right way to load into csv file?

There is too many commas!
You should not use a comma in your text delimiter but a quote' or double quote"
and put a comma in the field separator to have something like
"aaa","aaaa","aa"

OBIEE 11g hierarchy drilldown custom headings

In an OBIEE 11g report, have a column which is in a hierarchy. Can use the properties and change that column heading from "Level 3" to more descriptive name in the Criteria.
When report is opened/run and that column is clicked, the next column is labelled "Level 2" and then "Level 1".
Because what is in the levels depends on what else is connected, cannot hardcode the text in the rpd.
If the Level 2 and Level 1 columns are pulled into the Criteria and either hidden or not put in the Results, the drilldown is removed from the Level 3 column.
How can the drilldown columns' headings be customized, changed for that report?

Try using Presentation variables, if the column is formatted in the reports.

Issue with downloading in CSV Format

Hi SDN,
i used the FM's SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT - to convert 2 CSV Format and
                        GUI_DOWNLOAD - to download the data 2 presentation server.
i'm able 2 open the file in CSV format,but the data is displayed in single column only.
how 2 display in different columns ?
for example the ITAB contains empno, empname and designation.
I want it 2 display as :
   EMPNO      EMPNAME     DESIGNATION
     1                xxxxx              Developer
     2                 yyyy               TL
with tab delimiter.
now the values are displaying as:
EMPNO;EMPNAME;DESIGNATION
1;xxxx;Developer
2;yyyy;TL
pls suggest.
awaiting ur early response.
Regards,
Suman.

Hi Max,
the issue is when opening the CSV file.
all the contents are coming in a single column. for ex.,
                Col 1                                                 Col2          Col3
Row1      Heading1,Heading2,Heading3
Row2      a1,b1,c1
Row3      a2,b2,c2
Row4      a3,b3,c3
I'm not sure whether this format is correct ?
what I'm expecting is like the one below, with a tab delimiter.because after runing the ALV report when I export 2 Excel in CSV format it is displaying like this.
                    Col1                Col2               Col3
Row1          Heading1      Heading2          Heading3
Row2             a1                    b1                c1
Row3             a2                     b2               c2
Row4             a3                     b3                c3

OBIEE-11g Double columns question

Hi guys, on my pc i've installed business intelligence suite 11.1.3 and now I need support about double columns feature. In the business model I've this hierarchy
Region -> Province -> Municipality
where the keys for each level are represented by the name of the element, the problem is that this keys are used to map geometric shapes to enable the map views features and the Municipality values are ambiguous in their domain (could exist two municipality with the same name but different province) in the official documentation is wrote that to unique identify a shape should be used a double columns field but when I 'apply the double field feature to the hierarchy levels the drill feature doesn't work properly and I get a strange filter error (seems that the system filter the value by id on the wrong field). Somebody could help me to understand if I can define a hierarchy where the keys have a descriptor id associated ?
Thanks a lot Regards

I 've also come up with the same issue. I am using OBIEE 11G (11.1.1.5.0) and Oracle Mapviewer Ver11_1_1_4_B110225.
On the RPD, My hierarchy is defined as: District -> Quarter -> Neighbourhood.
For each hierarchy level I am using:
District Logical Level keys:
District Id: Primary Key
District Name: Use for Display
Quarter Logical Level Keys:
Quarter Id: Primary Key
Quarter Name: Use for Display
Neighbourhood Logical Level Keys:
Neighbourhood Id: Primary Key
Neighbourhood Name: Use for Display
I need to associate each Mapviewer theme's ID (District ID, Quarter ID, Neighbourhood ID) with a relevant BI column, because the theme names are not distinct.
I have set the double column (Descriptor Id) feature: (District ID, Quarter ID, Neighbourhood ID) on each BI name column (BI Distict Name, BI Quarter Name, BI
Neighbourhood Name) of the business model and associated the layer key (ID) of each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI name column.
On the map view, drilling down from District to Quarter works properly, but I get the following action error while drilling down from quarter to neighbourhood:
An error occurred while trying to generate drill down query.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError:
46036] Internal Assertion: Condition rowValues.size() == numColumns, file server\Query\Src\SQNavigatorAccess.cpp, line 495. (HY000)
SQL Issued: {CALL NQSGenerateDrillDownQuery('SELECT District Name saw_0, Quarter Name saw_1, DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(District Name) saw_2, DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(Quarter Name)
saw_3 FROM "Subject Area" WHERE DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(District) = 5','1','''5'',''31'',31','-1 -1 -1 -1 -1','0,2,3')}
However, if I add a table view on my analysis and click on the table view's quarter link, drilling down works ok both for the table and for the map view.
Moreover, I tried removing the double column (descriptor Id) feature from the business model while maintaining the hierarchy as described above.
I then associated the layer key (ID) of each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI ID column instead of the BI name column.
On the map view while drilling down from District to Quarter, a filter to a specific District is applied, but the associated Quarters theme is not displayed.
Finally, if I enable the "Use for Display" checkbox for each hierarchy level's primary key on the RPD, and maintain the association between the layer key (ID) of
each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI ID column, drilling down works correctly but only on the ID.
I need drilling down to work while clicking on the each name BI column of the hierarchy while defining the association on the layer key ID of each mapviewer
theme. Is this possible? Any ideas?
