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 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: Navigation on Presentation hierarchy

Hi everyone,
I've got a presentation hierarchy column setup on a parent-child node based hierarchy. It works fine in terms of drilling but the navigation on the column only works at the top level. The drills don't get the click action.
The same is true for the measures themselves. If I have a navigate on a measure, it works at the top level but not at the detail level.
Anyone know if this is a bug or just a "feature"?
-=Joe

Hi, i have the same problem. The hierarchy is correctly mapped, as i can see expandind the values of the hierarchy in tab results>subject area, but when i click on the root of the hierarchy in the report nothing happens. Does anyone knows what is the problem?
Thanks

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 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 - usins Query as column

hi all,
I have a requirement to convert this SQL as a column value in OBIEE level
select count(*) from (
SELECT SUM(quantity),SUM(quantity_received),po_header_id FROM F_ERP_PO
group by po_header_id
having SUM(quantity) = SUM(quantity_received))
as a column value in OBIEE level . I am not sure how to proceed
either in rpd level or answers ...
I have similar sql conditions in my report for various columns of it .
Pls help
Reg ,
Niv

Hi,
In the Logical Fact table of F_ERP_PO,
1. First, create a logical column i.e measure SUM(quantity) as QUANTITY and another measure SUM(quantity_received) as QUANTITY_RECEIVED
2. Then create a new logical column - HEADER_COUNT
- Double click on it, Click on Column Source
- Click on the radio button "Derived from existing columns using an expression" and click on edit expression
- Under Category Click on Expressions -> IfCase -> Case
- Enter CASE WHEN QUANTITY = QUANTITY_RECEIVED THEN PO_HEADER_ID ELSE 0 END
Aggregation for this measure should be Count

OBIEE 11g - Navigation in Parent Child Hiearchy not working

Hi All,
I have a employee parent child hierarchy and I want to show revenue for each employee in the report. I have modeled my revenue as a measure like case 4 shown in the following link
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/11/oracle-bi-ee-11g-parent-child-hierarchies-multiple-modeling-methods/
So for example this is my report ,
--David (30)
---Sandra (15)
-----Joe (10)
Joe'e revenue is 10, Sandra's is 5 (showing her 5 Joe's revenue) and David's is 5 (showing his 5 Sandra's revenue)
Issue :
Now what I want is to provide action link on the revenue column so that when user would click on revenue for any employee it would direct them to a detail report showing the bifurcation.
For ex, I want that when user click on 15 which is Sandra's revenue, he would be redirected to a detailed report for Sandra and similary for Joe and David
MY ISSUE IS that the navigation is NOT working for sandra and Joe. It is only working for David (who is the ancestor of sandra and Joe). When I click on 15 to see sandra's detail report, it doesn't do anything and in the bottom left corner of the browser status bar below I see an ERROR saying
(same for Joe but David work's fine)
Message: 'getLevelInfo(...)' is null or not an object
Line: 1
Char: 11142
Code: 0
URI: http://localhost:7001/analytics/res/b_mozilla/answers/selectionsmodel.js
Why is that happening? Is that because I have modeled the revenue as an measure and not attribute. Is navigation not possible in this case?
Anybody has any solution or workaround for this, it will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Ok, so let me explain this in detail and give the structure of my tables and the data,
There are three tables.
1.Parent Child relationship table - pctable
2.Closure table which OBIEE creates through a script - reltable
3.Fact table which contains the revenue - facttable
This is the data
pctable
personid | managerid
David | NULL
Sandra| David
Joe|Sandra
reltable
memberkey | ancestorkey |distance |is_leaf
David|NULL|NULL|0
David|David|0|0
Sandra|Sandra|0|0
Joe|Joe|0|0
Sandra|David|1|0
Joe|Sandra|1|1
Joe|David|2|1
facttable
personid|revenue
David|5
Sandra|5
Joe|10
and my joins conditions are, I join pctable to reltable and then reltable is joined to facttable like this.
pctable.personid = reltable.ancestorkey
reltable.memberkey = facttable.personid
and then in the report, when I pull up the pchierarchy build from pctable and revenue , I get as below and like I said, when I click on Sandra to see the revenue she contributes, I am not able to navigate. Can you let me know what modifications needs to be done?
---David(20)
----Sandra(15)
------Joe(10)

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.
thanks anyway :)

OBIEE 11g - Navigation

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to create a navigation link on the grand total in the pivot/table view.
Edited by: user10720630 on Jan 1, 2013 4:02 AM

Assuming you have dimension hierachies defined in your implementation; by default measure at grand total when you pull it alone and with no other column from dimensions. If you pull any other column you may not get the grand total level value. Try to create a measure and set the content tab level to Grand total or all (top most level) for required hierarchies, in this case when you pull any other columns value will not change and can go for navigation.
If helps pls mark

Hi,
You can create one viewset. In one view set you can place any number of views.
According to your question
1. create viewset
2. place the views in viewset
3. place outbound plug in the first view amd place the inbound plug the second view. connect those two views witg navigation link.
4. place the outbound plug in secondview and place the inbound plug in thirdview. connect secondview and thirdview with navigation link
5. create two actions through actions tab.
6. create two buttons. Go to properties of the first button and bind the first actions. Similary second button.
7. go to implementation of that actions.
wdThis.wdFirePlugToDisplayView();
this is the sample code in section view to display view.
here we are passing the parameters from one view to another view.
wdThis.wdFirePlugToDisplyView(wdContext.currentContextElement().getOptions(),wdContext.currentContextElement().getSecondLevel(),wdContext.currentContextElement().getThirdLevel());

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

Prompt to Report navigation - OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I've three tables (3 different requests) to be displayed in a page. Each of these tables has one identical column eg. project_name (but from different database tables).
My requirement :
1.I should have only one prompt to select the project_name at the first page
2.Only after selecting the project_name, the page should navigate to another page which displays all the three tables
Kindly let me know how can I get the prompt to report navigation done.
Thanks!
Dinesh

Hi ,
Only after selecting the prompt you have to show the reports means use the guided navigation.
Only after selectiing the Project_name , you can show your tables.
But this can be done on the same page not on other page as you needed.

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: Disable interaction in Graph

Hello,
Does anyone know how to disable interaction in graph in OBIEE 11G, apart from the normal way of disabling the interaction in Column Properties -> Interaction.
Is there any other way.
Thanks

In 11g unlike 10g the Interaction tab is disabled at graphs.
You can add it globally (column level)
thanks,
