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?

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 - help formatting graphs / trellis displays

Hi, in OBIEE 11g I'm trying to display a simple trellis graph of win % for various baseball teams over a 10 year period. On the trellis - I would like to NOT show the vertical scale or horizontal scale. I.e. vertical currently showing 20%, 40%, etc. up to 100%, and horizontal showing 2001, 2002, etc.
Is there any way to turn off the scales on the various axis? I can turn off the "labels" so that it doesn't put the word "Year" under the horizontal axis, but I haven't been able to figure out how to actually turn off the year values.
This pretty much holds even on a "normal" non-trellis graph - I can't see how to turn off the axis values there either.
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.

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.

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 HOLAP( drill through) from ORACLE OLAP to Relaltional table

Hi Experts...
I have some idea that the drill through from an essbase cube to an relational cube can be possible with few limitations in OBIEE 10g. I am looking for the same feature with ORACLE OLAP option . I have OLAP cube built in 11g (leve5 - granularity to one of the dimension) , and relational has 7 levels. In OBIEE once drill down to the level 5 it has fetched data from OLAP , and going beyond to level 6 -7 then it should get the data from relational table.
Do anyone had gone through such solution, Please kndly share your inputs and documents which would be helpful.
Thanks
S

This is very easy. It's really no different from setting up OBIEE to drill from one table to another. Let's assume that you have your cube mapped in OBIEE using the OBIEE plug-in for Analytic Workspace Manager. Here is an outline of the steps:
1. Add the dimension table and fact table to the OBIEE physical layer.
2. Add the new level to the OBIEE dimension object in the business layer.
3. Add the dimension table as a new logical table source to the existing dimension table in the business layer.
4. Add the fact table as new table in the business layer.
5. Define joins in the physical and business model as appropriate.
6. Set set keys in the tables and the dimension as appropriate.
7. Set the level for the new dimension table to the appropriate level in the dimension.
Again, it's really best to just think about this as drilling from one table to another.

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 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 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?

Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour.

OBIEE 11g - Line-Bar Graph problem

Hi,
I am trying to build a Line-Bar graph where the line represents target. My data is as follows:
Dim1 Dim2 Fact Target
A Z 10 2
A Y 5 2
B X 6 3
B W 7 3
Please note that, the target is same across same Dim1. Like A has same target, B has same target.
Now if I create a stack chart with stack based on Dim2 (Dim2 is in the Vary by Colour), then I get mutiple line for target with the same value for each Dim1.
I am not sure if I could explain it clearly.
I want to show one line for the target since its same for Dim1. How can I do that?
Please help.
My chart config is as follows:
Group By (Dim1)
Vary Coulor by (Dim2)
Bars (Fact)
Lines (Target)

Not yet, and I've been too busy with some SEV 1 issues to goof around with it. I also need to open a ticket about default pivot table formatting - i.e. removing the background colors under the non-data areas, and they also seem to have some sort of gradient fill at the bottom. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

OBIEE 11g - change bar graph result to "rectangle" instead of "gradient"

Hi, I'm a big believe in Stephen Few's theory that anything that adds extra ink and/or causes visual distraction is poor design for presenting information. I've already figured out how to remove the shadow effect from all graphs (by setting visualEffects="NONE" in the dvt-graph-skin.xml).
I've noticed that simple bar graphs default to using a "gradient" fill (a.k.a. extra visual distraction), instead of just being a flat rectangle. I can change this on a graph by graph basis by setting the graph data style to "rectangle", but I have to do this every time. Is there a simple way to change the default to be "rectangle" instead of "gradient"?
Thanks!
Scott

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.

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
