Parent Child Dimension Not displaying Name value.

I have a parent Child attribute in my dimension.  It show the correct ID value in the reports but when I change the value from the NameColumn to be something else it still only shows the ID value. 
I have an identical case in another dimension and it is working correctly.  However this dimension for some reason does not seem to work and I believe they are built the same way I must be missing something.  I have tried to show the OrgNodeID
and tried to display the OrgNodename but neither displays all it displays is the intdimParentOrgNodeID.
My dimension table looks something like this
intdimOrgNodeID int Key (surreget key)
intOrgNodeID int (Actual ID)
intDimParentOrgNodeID
intOrgNodeName
In the Propertys I have set
KeyColumns  = tbldimOrgNode.intDimParentOrgNodeID
NameColumn = tbldimOrgNode.intOrgNodeID
Parent-child values
=NonLeafDataVisible
=*(Direct)
=
=ParentIsBlankSelfOrMissing
=(none)

I have been pulling my hair out for days to find this and what I finally found that resolved this shocked me and I am still not sure why it would matter.  You can see below my table and then dimension info.  Although I agree my OrgNode ID attribute
is really not needed in AS and could be removed.   In places where that is used we could instead rename the key column Dim OrgNode ID to OrgNode ID.    However why the key attribute must have the name column set to intOrgNodeID
instead of just using the Key value of intdimOrgNodeID is what I am lost at. 
Outside of this parent dimension I have never seen issues with this.  I want to say sometimes in the past I have seen duplicates if I use the surreget key to display the actual ID so I have normally left that as a key and just added another attribute
to house the actual ID, like I did below. 
Can someone explain to me this and what is the best suggested practice here.
My table is like this
intdimOrgNodeID int Key (surreget key)
intOrgNodeID int (Actual ID from source and used by customers)
intDimParentOrgNodeID (ID used for parent child (it is the Parent intOrgNodeID surreget
key intdimOrgNodeID))
intOrgNodeName (Source Name)
My AS dimension is like below
Dim OrgNode ID
AttributeHierarchyVisible=False
KeyColumns = tbldimOrgNode.intDimOrgNodeID (Integer)
NameColumns= tbldimOrgNode.intDimOrgNodeID (Integer)
OrgNode ID
AttributeHierarchyVisible=True
KeyColumns = tbldimOrgNode.intOrgNodeID (Integer)
NameColumns= tbldimOrgNode.intOrgNodeID (Integer)
OrgNode Hierarchy ID
Usage=Parent
AttributeHierarchyVisible=True
KeyColumns = tbldimOrgNode.intDimParentOrgNodeID              
NameColumns= tbldimOrgNode.intOrgNodeID (WChar)
Change I had to make was this
Dim OrgNode ID
From     NameColumns= tbldimOrgNode.intDimOrgNodeID (Integer)
to           
NameColumns= tbldimOrgNode.intOrgNodeID (Integer)

  • MDX: Selecting specific dimension member and its descendants from parent child dimension where dimension member names can be same in dimension hierarchy

    I'm creating a SSRS report using SSAS cube as a source.
    When creating a dataset for the report, I'm having trouble with MDX to select a specific dimension member and its descendants from parent child dimension where dimension member names can be same in dimension hierarchy.
    Lets say for example that I have an account dimension where,
    In level 02 I have company ID:s 101, 102, 103 and so on...
    In level 03 I have Balance sheet
    In level 04 I have some account groups, Assets, Liabilities and so on... and In level 05 I have individual accounts
    How can I select for example company 102:s Assets from level 04 and its descendants?
    Normally in adventure works I would do this if I've wanted Current Assets and its descendants:
    SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Amount] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
    { (DESCENDANTS([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 03].[Current Assets]) ) } ON ROWS
    FROM [Adventure Works]
    But in my Account dimension at level 04 I have Assets member as many times as I have companies in level 02.

  • OBIEE Parent-Child Dimension with multiple hierarchies

    Is it possible to have in a parent-child dimension multiple hierarchies? I want to have the same botom childs to aggregate to different parrents. example.
    Account Dimension
    HR1-total
    HR1-parrent1
    CHILD1
    HR1-parrent2
    CHILD2
    HR2-total
    HR2-parrent1
    CHILD1
    CHILD2
    Thanks in advance.

    No, it is not possible to have multiple hiearchies in a PC logical dimension.
    The concept of the Parent-Child (PC) hierarchy is completely different from the level-based hierarchy. Specifically the PC hierarchy expects a predefined / architected table with corresponding PC column/value structuring with or without attributes.
    Short story even shorter it is not possible.
    Longer...
    In the RPD the BMM actually prevents you from adding a new logical level, child level, or parent level when you have selected that the logical dimension be a parent child logical dimension with Parent-Child hierarchy.
    On another note...
    Have you tried architecting/building your PC source table so that it represents the roll-up and bottom child-levels like you are seeking? That is, that same member in the child column more than once having a separate parent value. That should be doable.
    That was a great question, please award points if this answered your question or it was helpful.

  • Incorrect totals from cache with CustomRollupColumn and non-parent-child dimensions

    Hello. Before I start let me apologise for my English :)
    We have a very complex cube, with 2 (actually more, but only these 2 are important) parent-child dimensions.
    One of them has CustomRollupColumn defined.
    Not long ago we have decided to make refactoring of our cube. This also included making these dimensions non-parent-child.
    All our old reports started to work much faster after that... but we have mentioned that sometimes they show incorrect totals, or no totals at all.
    We spend a lot of time trying to figure out what's wrong and finally we had found that if we clear cache before next refresh of the report - the totals are always correct!
    If we don't clear cache - we get wrong totals second time, and each next time after that. If we see wrong totals - we could clear cache and get correct totals once again.
    If we use "Real Time Olap=True;" connection string parameter - the totals are always correct because cache is not used.
    But we don't like this workaround.
    Is there any fix for this bug? Google shows that this problem exists from SQL2005, and still we have it :( Also, there is adivice to set CalculationCoverPolicy to 9 - we have tried - but it was fruitless.
    And if we revert these 2 dimensions back to parent-child - all working fine again, but as slow as it was before the refactoring :(

  • Load Parent-Child dimension with attributes by rule file

    Well, I've cracked my head open while banging against this wall.
    Task is plain & simple:
    How can I load build dimension from such table, using rule file?
    Data
    ProductParent ProductChild ProductAttribute
    Balls Ball_8 Round
    I want to load both product dimension and attribute by single rule file (neither of these dimensions exists in database before load), so I do the following:
    1) Set dimension build settings, creating dimension Products (marking it P\C generated, sparse), having an attribute dimension AttributeDim
    2) Mark the fields as Parent, Child and AttributeDim of dimension Products
    After loading rule file a get three types of errors:
    a) "Base member (Balls) association level does not match base dimension association level" -- does this mean that I cannot assign attributes in P\C way?
    b) "Record #327 - Can not uniquely identify member by Balls (3335)
    Balls     Ball_8     Round" -- That's strange, I thought member should be identified by Ball_8 (and this column is unique)
    c) "\\Record #418 - Error in association transaction [Ball_8] to [Round] (3362)"
    I've read all I could find on topic from this forum, network45 board and going to start my way through metalink3, but maybe some kind soul will rescue me from drowning in information ocean?

    Hi,
    Outline is blank at the start of load and I expect dimensions Product and ProdAttribute to be added.
    Generations are unapplicable, since I can't turn this parent-child dimension (it's ragged) into generation one.
    And, by the way Integration Services manages to do this somehow, why rule files wouldn't?

    Hi manishcal16PPS,
    According to your description, you have a parent child dimension in your cube. Now you want to use one measure use show aggregation value including/excluding child member based on different parent level member. Right?
    In this scenario, we could use IIF() in the calculated measure to apply different calculation depends on the current dimension member. Please refer to query below:
    with member [x] as
    IIF([Dim].[Hierarchy].CurrentMember is [Dim].[Hierarchy].[Parent].&[9]
    sum(Descendants([Dim].[Hierarchy].CurrentMember,
    [Date].[Calendar].[Parent]),
    [Measures].[Amount])
    sum([Dim].[Hierarchy].CurrentMember,[Measures].[Amount])
    select [x] on 0,
    [Date].[Calendar].[Parent].members on 1
    from
    [Cube]

  • Parent-child dimensions limitations

    Hi eb
    It is very convinient to develop complex heirarchized dimensions as parent-child especialy when they retain historical
    changes in members.
    I know one reason to not using such dimensions when they contain some 200,000 members or more due to performance issues (no aggregations on parent attributes???).
    Are there any other reasons to not using parent-child heirarchies in ssas MD cubes???
    TIA!
    Rea

    Hi reapeleg,
    According to your description, you want to know weakness of using parent-child dimension. Right?
    In Analysis Services, a parent-child dimension is distinguished by fact that it contains a hierarchy based on a recursive relationship. So it can only cause some performance problem. But the main reason of using a parent-child dimension
    or not depends on the relationship between the attributes in your dimension. And there's workaround for the performance issue. Please see:
    Parent-Child Dimensions in Analysis Services – Performance Walkthrough
    Reference:
    Parent-Child Dimensions
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • How to create a parent-child dimension in EIS?

    Does anyoe know how to create a parent-child dimension in EIS? Helps.

    It's easy but there are a few things to know.
    -The underlying dimension table must be a 2 column recursive design. It can also have additional aliases and property columns.
    -in the OLAP model you must do a "self-join". select the table properties | physical joins. then join the parent to the child within the same table
    -in the metaoutline drag only one column, not both (i like using the child only) to the dimension in the metaoutline panel.
    If you need more help email me ([email protected]) and I'll do a webex demo for you.

  • Security on Employee Parent Child Dimension with SCD 2

    Hi
    I am looking for a solution for how to get all child members of a Parent employee including the one in the history. I tried multiple ways the problem which I am facing are
    Scenario 1: When I am using this approach, since the Employee with 'Jump' as employee id do have a history record with no children under him I am getting 'Null'. But there are new records (last 3 SCD changes) where he has employees under him.
    SELECT descendants(
    // Check if current employee is a manager
    iif(hierarchize(exists([Employee].[Manager Employee Dim ID].members,
    (strtomember("[Employee].[Employee Login ID].&[SIC\jump]"))),post).item(0).item(0).parent.datamember is
    hierarchize(exists([Employee].[Manager Employee Dim ID].members,
    (strtomember("[Employee].[Employee Login ID].&[SIC\jump]"))), post).item(0).item(0),
    // End of check if current employee is manager
    hierarchize(exists([Employee].[Manager Employee Dim ID].members,
    (strtomember("[Employee].[Employee Login ID].&[SIC\jump]"))),post).item(0).item(0).parent,
    hierarchize(exists([Employee].[Manager Employee Dim ID].members,
    (strtomember("[Employee].[Employee Login ID].&[SIC\jump]"))), post).item(0).item(0))) ON 0,
    [Measures].[Aggregate Count] On 1
    FROM [Data Ware House]
    Scenario 2: When I put a filter (as a set) to check if the record is current then I am getting the latest record for employee 'Jump'. But here the problem is that the employee under him I am only getting the [Measures].[Aggregate Count] of the latest
    change only.
    SELECT descendants(
    // Check if current employee is a manager
    iif(hierarchize(exists([UW Employee].[Manager Employee Dim ID].members,
    (strtomember("[UW Employee].[Employee Login ID].&[SIC\flew]"),[UW Employee].[Current Flag].&[Y])),
    post).item(0).item(0).parent.datamember is
    hierarchize(exists([UW Employee].[Manager Employee Dim ID].members,
    (strtomember("[UW Employee].[Employee Login ID].&[SIC\flew]"),[UW Employee].[Current Flag].&[Y])), post).item(0).item(0),
    // End of check if current employee is manager
    hierarchize(exists([UW Employee].[Manager Employee Dim ID].members,
    (strtomember("[UW Employee].[Employee Login ID].&[SIC\flew]"),[UW Employee].[Current Flag].&[Y])),

    ) ON 0,
    [Measures].[Contract Change Aggregate Count] ON 1
    FROM [Data Ware House]
    If any one can help me out with this that will be helpful.
    What I need is all the members under the employee 'Jump', including the Old scd records for 'jump'

  • Display extra values not displaying extra value

    Hi,
    I have a SQL query that returns a LOV. I have "Display Extra Values" set to Yes. However, I don't see my "extra value" in the Select List. ?? Yet, when I check the session state, the value in the session state is the extra value. So how come I don't see it in my Select List?
    Thank you.

    This is from the on-line docs:
    To define a value that does not display in the list of values:
    a) From Display Extra Value, select Yes.
    The extra value is used if the actual column value is not part of the LOV. In that situation, the actual value is shown. If you do not display extra values, you may end up with the wrong value and unintentionally update your data incorrectly.
    b) In Null Value, specify the value that displays.
    c) If you have not selected a Named LOV, enter the query used to display a select list in the LOV Query field.
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    How can i take care of this limitation?
    Regards

    Hi Shweta,
    if u r using condition for ascending then ur zeroes should come in that range , if it not then u have to increase  your value limit . But this will depend on your requirement ..

  • 0vendor is not displaying name attribute when I maintained master data.

    0vendor is not displaying name attribute when I maintained master data.
    Details: I have four records in the 0vendor infoobject (sand box). I have to show these four records to the client. As i have free hands I maintained master data in the name field and finally activated master data. But when I add the name attribute to the vendor charecteristic in the query designer; it is displaying name attribute as # . Any idea how to display the names of the four vendors in the zquery.
    Also do you know the transaction to copy standard query to Zquery?
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Les
    For 0VENDOR, Set Property as Key & Text, try once again.
    Yes, you can copy the standard query very well.
    Open the Standard query & using SAVE AS, you can copy to "Z" queries.
    Hope, now you will get some idea

  • Phonebook not displaying names in groups.

    Hi
    I just got a new macbook pro and when I connected my iphone to it, it erased all my contacts. So I manually put them in but now instead of displaying them by letter, eg-A-NAMES,B-NAMES,C-NAME,D-NAMES. It just shows one single list of people.
    Does anybody know what I can do to fix it.
    Thanks
    Aditya

    It depends on if your iphone is not displaying your contacts alphabetically or is address book not displaying names alphabetically.
    If it is the iphone, go to home screen > settings > phone and check the contacts section to see how the names are supposed to be sorted and displayed.
    If you have the settings correct, try power-cycling or resetting the iphone.
    Both shut the power down so you can turn back on. This link will help.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305740
    If the reset does not resolve the issue, you might think about restoring the iphone. This link will help.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744
    If it is the address book that is having the issue, check the address book preferences to see how the names are supposed to be sorted and displayed.
    If these are set correctly, you can rename your address book preference file.
    To rename the file:
    Make sure you quit out of address book.
    Open finder and drag the following file to the desktop.
    ~\library\preferences\apple.com.AddressBook.plist
    This will reset any preferences you have set in address book.
    Hope this helps out.
