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.

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.

OBIEE 11g - Hierarchy

Hi,
My client is on OBIEE 11g. Is it possible to create a tree-like structure (as shown below) from a hierarchy in the prompt?
TestPrompt should show following
Org Level1
------Org Level2a
------------Org Level3a
------------------Org Level4a
--------Org Level2b
--------------Org Level3b
--------------------Org Level4b
Will appreciate your inputs.

I was able to achieve this by dragging the hierarchy from the presentation table into the request and then created a prompt on it. The values in the hierarchy display fine in the prompt selection box - like a tree. But, once you pick a value from that tree it doesn't seem to apply that as a filter. Has anybody else come across this?
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g Hierarchy expanding issue

Hi Experts,
I have an Analysis report which I display hierarchy and I have many reports which contain hierarchy.
But I have a specific report which only expand up to 1 level only unlike my other Analysis reports which display the hierarchy up to the last level.
This report that only expand up to 1 level have many records (about 1.5K).
Can you help me fix/resolve this issue about the hierarchy
My OBIEE version is: 11.1.1.6 (11.1.1.6.0.120104.0152.000 to be exact).
My hierarchy is properly displayed in other reports but one of my reports, the hierarchy is not displaying well.
SCENARIO:
all reports have same hierarchy fields to be displayed:
report 1 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 2 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 3 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 4 (displays more than 1000 records) - not working
Thanks,

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

OBIEE 11g: Hierarchy Drills & Graph Scales

Hi eveyrone,
I have a time-series graph with dates along the x-axis and my measure value along the y-axis.
In the "Sections" portion of the graph I have a node based hierarchy.
I have 4 columns in the report.
Presentation hierarchy (node based hierarchy), Hierarchy Dimension column (regular FK link to the hierarchy dimension but not a presentation hierarchy), Date, SUM( Metric by hierarchy dimension column)
In the graph, I create a line scale marker and set it to be based on my one measure column. I also graph my one measure column.
In therory, since I'm graphing the EXACT same column that the scale marker is tied to, they should ALWAYS appear to overlay. And in fact they do at the first level of the hierarchy.
But when I drill into the hierarchy, the measure column changes, but the scale marker does not.
Why does this happen?
It is the exact same column so they should always be the same value. It's a pretty frustrating bug because as you drill, the scale of the measure changes but the scale of marker does not, so it's basically like you're viewing a flat line because the y-axis is too far off from the actual column measure to see any trend.
Has anyone seen this?

OBIEE 11g Hierarchy and Fact interaction

I have an issue where I don't know if OBIEE functionality will allow for the behaviour requested. I have 2 Fact tables, one at the Date grain and one at the Date Time grain (Hours and Minutes).
We have two Physical dimension tables (Time and Date). The Date snowflakes off the Time. My intention was to create one Logical Dimension (Date Time) and set up the appropriate Levels (Year | Month | Day | Hour | Minute).
The Logical Layer consists of two Logical Facts, each with one LTS. And the one Time Date Dimension. The LTS for the Fact at the Date grain has its Content Level set to Day. The LTS for the Fact at the Date Time grain has its Content Level set to Minute.
The behaviour I am seeing is that when a user runs an Ad-hoc request and selects, lets say Year, Month, Metric from Date grain fact. The default behaviour allows them to drill down from the Month to the Day, which is expected. What wasn't expected was that the default drill-down is still active on the Day column in this request. When the user drills into the Day column it returns the Hours with the metric now NULL. I would expect the metric being NULL as this Fact isn't at this level. What I wasn't expecting was the tool allowing the user to be able to drill past the Day when the Fact being hit has it's Content Level set to Day.
I am missing something here or is this the expected behaviour?

Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

Hi,
I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
Thanks.

By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

Peoplesoft Trees as Hierarchial Columns in OBIEE 11g

Sorry for a duplicate posting. Logged in as a normal user with random number. I know how much people hate it. Logged in as myself now.
Hi,
I have extensively searched using Google or 11g docs but could not find a proper solution to using Peoplesoft trees in form of hierarchial columns in obiee 11g. Can the rpd of obiee 11g be designed to view the Peoplesoft tree structure( as it is in Tree manager in Pplsoft) as hierachial columns in obiee 11g? I am sure hierarchial columns as a 11g feature are not just for visual representation in tree format but also can be viewed in Answers and queried against it,am I right?
Anybody who has worked on trees and OBIEE 11g hierarchial columns? Ahsan/Navin??
Thanks,
Dan

I have not used the 11g hierarchical columns for PSoft Trees but I can think of a glaring reason NOT to do this..PERFORMANCE. If I understand correctly, 11g issues a group by and Union as you traverse this type of structure and PeopleSoft trees have a number of tables to represent the actual TREE. I cannot possibly see how this can be effective especially with a large scale BI Apps DW? This is part of the reason the trees get flattened out via the OOTB ETL adaptors for PSoft.

OBIEE 11g : Unable to see any images while customizing styles and skins

Hi,
I am trying to customize OBIEE 11g style and skin. I followed the steps mentioned at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ and also in oracle white paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/customizing-oracle-biee-11g-176387.pdf.
I am not able to see any images on any OBIEE screens. After login, I can see the name of skin which i have created as the default skin but login page images, header images (after login) are not coming up. Can you please provide solution?
P.S. I have not changed any images or any css files in the custom skin and style directory. I just wanted to know first whether the new skin/style works for me. If it works, then i will apply some sort of customization.

That is correct. Also remember to delete browser cache. Here you have the folders: Re: how to insert the picture in the dashboard of BIEE

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.

Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have an Issue with Implementing Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g. I understand that Filters on Hierarchy Prompts can be applied in Selection steps and cannot be viewed in the Physical Query as such. However, what happens is, the Hierarchy prompt only gets applied when the hierarchy is displayed in the report.It is not applied even when it is present in the excluded section. So, it works only when it is displayed in the report. Is this correct? Is there any workaround for this?
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Regards,
Venkatesh
Edited by: obiapps on May 30, 2012 7:42 PM

If the column set to prompt no matters what (column is present,or not, excluded or hidden) the prompt should work.
Check it again something might gone wrong.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

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.
