OBIEE Multiple Employee Organisation Hierarchy Version update - duplicating workforce totals

Question

Hi,
On creation of a new version of the Employee Organization hierarchy, some of the OBIEE dashboards & analyses that were oracle seeded function show ...
Total Employee headcount  =   total employee headcount from hierarchy ver 1 + total emp headcount hierarchy ver 2
Which is incorrect and misleading in the reports. (Similar issues for FTE..... )
Firstly, is this normal ----- or has the versioning been implemented incorrectly, or is there missing aggregation at the Ebusiness, BI rpd or dashboard level?
Secondly, what is the best solution to display the relevant hierarchy based on the report dates?
If there is further aggregation needed, how can this be added without needing to update it every time a new employee organization hierarchy version is copied?
Thanks,

Answer 1

For my solution it was done through a button with 2 commands.  These commands are SET_HIERARCHY and then SET_AXIS_HIERARCHY.  These 2 commands seem to be necessary as the SET_HIERARCHY simply sets the level of where the hierarchy is expanded to and the SET_AXIS_HIERARCHY enables the display of the expanded hierarchy on the axis you choose, usually  in the rows.
SET_HIERARCHY:
Data Binding
Characteristic: Organisation Unit
Command-Specific Parameters
Active: On
   Heirarchy Identifier
Name of Hierarchy: ORGEH (ORGEH)
Version: 01
Key Date: 0DAT
Initial Drill Level: 16 (Note: this is the maximum level anticipated in Organisation Unit, so fully expanded)
SET_AXIS_HIERARCHY
Data Binding
Axis: ROWS
Command-Specific Parameters
Active: On
Description: Default
Initial Drill Level: 1 (Note: this is the level of the characterisitic Organisation Unit from the query Rows axis, not the hierarchy level)
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Joe
