Parent child hierarchy and measure using lookup

Hi,
I'm using OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and I have an issue with a parent child hierarchy, which is setup like case 4 in this example . When I create a simple analysis using the hierarchy and a simple measure, it works fine. But when I try to use a calculated measure using a lookup formula, I get the following error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 46036] Internal Assertion: Condition pTableRef->GetLeftTable() && pTableRef->GetLeftTable()->IsTableReference(), file server/Query/Optimizer/ServiceInterfaceMgr/Src/SQOIDriveJoinGenerator.cpp, line 568. (HY000)
Does anyone know how to get past this error?
Thanks,

Parent-child hierarchy and fragmentation content

Hello,
I've tried to build simple model with OBIEE 11 using Oracle 11r2 as a data source. BMM has fragmentation content for fact table and few dimensions with different hierarchy types. It works fine with all hierarchy types except for parent child.
When I build an answer with parent child hierarchy it terminates with error "Target data source does not support the operation".
Does OBIEE 11 not support parent child with fragmentation content? Or am I missing something?
Greetings

I'm seeing the same issue. I've created a parent-child hierarchy along with two normal level-based hierarchies (one "normal", one skipped-level). The two level-based hierarchies work just fine in Answers. I can include them in the criteria, and data is displayed with the correct drilldowns.
If I include the parent-child hierarchy, I get the same results as noted in the original post: "The layout of this view combined with the data, selections, or drills, or prompt values chosen, resulted in no data." I'm trying to look at the table view, with no filters.
Interestingly, I can explicitly include that dimension's Parent column and Member column in the criteria, and data is displayed just fine.
Here is the XML for the set of criteria that includes the separate Parent and Member columns (the one that works):
SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2, s_3, s_4, s_5, s_6, s_7, s_8, s_9, s_10, s_11 FROM (

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 ?

Parent Child Hierarchy Issue

Guys,
I have a parent-child hierarchy and users would select a randomn level from the prompt (Hierarchical column used in the prompt). So for the level selected I need to capture all the leaves and put a top n function on them.. Any ideas??
Things that i have tried are using Selection steps with hierarchical columns.
Step 1: Start with all Memebers
New step: Step 2 is Selected Members based on hierarchy relation Ship (Keep only members of leaves of hierarchy)
But the problem is I am not able to override the Step -2 with dashboard prompt. I was able to do only fior STEP -1
So any ideas??
If i can atleast capture all the leaves of selecte level from the prompt that would solve my problem to a large extent?/ Thought abt Hierarchical Navigation Functions but didnt succeed?? Any suggestions really appreciated
Thanks..

I have got lot of hierarchies which are atleast 20 levels deep. So its not really feasible for me to create multiple views for multiple levels.
I tried to use hierarchical column functions and it works but not able to override the values from prompts in the selection steps. So still trying few things
Step 1: Start with All members (over ride with prompt checked)
Step 2: Select a level with in the hierarchy and Keep only leaves of the selected level
Step 3: Apply Condition do a TOP 10 and keep only that result set.
This works fine with out any issues from an ad-hoc stand point. Only problem there is no way for me to over ride the dashboard prompt value in Step - 2 as it expects me to select a value from the hierarchy. Any alternativeS?

Parent Child Hierarchy (N Level Hierarchy ) in BI 4.0

Hi ,
We have following table structure . We are trying to create parent-child hierarchy and implement drill on the same .
We are using Oracle database as RDBMS.
e.g.
Child Key    Parent Key
1
2                 1
3                 1
4                 2
5                 2
6                 3
7                 1
8                 5
Now based on this table structure , if we create hierarchy using parent key and child key , we should be able to drill from 1 to {2,3,7} directly.
further when i click on 2 , we should get {4,5 } as resulting rows.
At the same time drill-down should not work on the values which are not parent of anyone (i.e. Leaf Node). e.g. 4, 8, 7, 6.
Can anyone please let me know how can i achieve the same result by building hierarchy or any work around ?
Regards ,
Jeevan Chaudhari

Dear Gowtham ,
I am very well aware of the level based hierarchy available in BO .
The issue that i have raised is all about the Parent Child Hierarchy which creates the recursive query.
I.e Every Parent has a child and that child can be parent of some other . (See the original example for more illustration)

Excluding Datamember from Update in Parent-Child hierarchy

Hello,
I have a Parent-Child hierarchy and writeback enabled measures.
If I make an equal allocation update on a parent element, its datamember gets the same amount as the leaf elements.
How can I override this feature (scope and cell calulation for datamembers would not do...)?
I mean: if I have 4 leaf members and I write on the parent element I want to see 250 on leaves - and null on DataMember -, instead of 200 on each elements (including datamember).
I would not convert the Parent-Child to normalized hierarchy if I have any chance to switch off the datamembers.
Thank you for your answers in advance!

Essbase Studio (parent-child hierarchy + attributes)

There is a problem with the parent-child hierarchy and attributes (for example, structural units of the enterprise).
Composition data (source - table in Oracle):
id (ID of the structural unit - a surrogate key, it is PK)
idParent (ID of the parent structural unit)
code (code of the structural unit - the natural key)
name (the name of the structural unit)
type (type of structural unit)
address (address structural unit)
In this case, parent-child relationship is defined fields idParent -> id, all the rest - should serve as attributes for the various disclosures in the reports.
In all the examples that are found in the network, parent-child built without creating attributes, and it really works. But how "to enrich" the attributes of a hierarchy - and sample solutions are not found.
Most requested help: link, advice, examples from life, either by pointing out that "so definitely not!".

Dear guru of essbase,
I am quite sure that this problem can still be solved by Essbase Studio.
I can not believe that the Studio developers could not include this feature. It is very important to resolve this issue it is through this component, help please both. Thanks

Calculate measure in parent child hierarchy

Halo everyone
I have a requirement about parent child hierarchy namely:
1. see the following picture as a sample.
the situation I got here is every employee has its own measure (Sales Amount). when it rolls up to 'Employee1' so the Sales will calculate all measure (Employee1 and all the descendents) but when it drill down, 'Employee1' will ONLY show its own 'measure' (it does'nt calculate from its descendents).
Any suggestion, Any idea, Any sharing, Any inspiration would be appreciated. thanks alot.

Hi Vin,
We can use Descendants() funcion, which returns the set of descendants of a member at a specified level or distance, optionally including or excluding descendants in other levels.

Except function with parent child hierarchy using mdx query

HI,
I need to remove some items using mdx query in parent child hierarchy.
I tried with below query,it is not removeing ,could you please help me.
SELECT
{[Measures].[Amount]} ON
COLUMNS
NonEmpty([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01],[Measures].[Amount])
ON ROWS
FROM (SELECT
-Descendants({[Account].[Accounts].&[47]},,Leaves)
} ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works])
indu

Hi Indu,
Why do you remove some itmes using
Descendants function? Generally, we use FILTER function to achieve the requirement.
WITH SET [CustomAccounts] AS
FILTER ([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01].Members , [Account].[Accounts].CurrentMember.Name<>'Net Income')
SELECT {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON 0
[CustomAccounts] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
WITH SET [CustomAccounts] AS
FILTER ([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01].Members , [Account].[Accounts].CurrentMember.Name='Net Income')
SET [RemainingAccount] AS
[Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01]- [CustomAccounts]
SELECT {[Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount]} ON 0
[RemainingAccount] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
Results.

Calling drill through report using parent child hierarchy

Hi,
I am using Parent/child hierarachy and I want to open a report using drill through on that hierarchy, whenever i click on column it opens the report but showing whole data. It is not restricing the data.Please tell how can i prompt a heierachial column or parent child column at detail level.
Another issue i am facing is after clicking on + sign at the child column acton link is not working.
Please reply on that issue.

No data for Parent-child hierarchy column in Pivot table view

Hi all,
I used OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 Version.
I drag one Parent-child hierarchy column and one measure and show result with a pivot table view.
But when I click "+" icon to show detail level data,
It messaged that: "*the layout of this view combined with the data,selections,drills,or prompt values chosen resulted in no data*."
But it can show every-level data when I used table view.
It was so strange..
Did anybody meet this before?
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Anne

Hi,
Yes, I have the same problem with pivot table for hierarchy dimension.
If you use a normal table (not pivot) it seem to work. Unfortunatley with restrictions as normal table view have.
Same problem still exist in 11.1.1.6.5
I have logged a SR to Oracle about this.

Parent-Child Hierarchy Show No Data

Hi:
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.5
I created a parent-child hierarchy following multiple examples in books and on the web. I can pull the presentation hierarchy--by itself--into a view and drill up and down. But when I add a measurement from the fact table, I receive a no data found error. I copied the SQL into SQL*Developer and ran it, and it too returned no data. I've tried to read and debug the query in SQL*Developer, but I don't understand what it is doing.
The dimension table I am using for the parent-child hierarchy has a cost_Center_id and parent_cost_center_id. I used the Parent-Child dimension wizard to create and populate the new hierarchy table.
I can create a view by using the cost_center item and a fact table measurement without the presentation hierarchy, so it has something to do with the presentation hierarchy.
I've been at this for a few days now, and I've run out of ideas. Can anyone suggest what I may have done wrong?
Thanks.

check if there is data in the fact table.. Next check also if the join condition between the dimension and fact is valid.

Parent-child hierarchy (Value based hierarchy)

As anyone created a parent-child hierarchy using Oracle Warehouse Builder or Analytic Workspace Manager. I am using Oracle 10g Rel2 (and AWM) and OWB 10g Rel2.
The values in the dimension table defines the hierarchy.
I don't see an option of creating a value-based hierarchy in OWB though it is mentioned that it supports this particular hierarchy.
In AWM, I am able to create the hierarchy but when I try to view the data in the dimension it gives an error BIB-9531 Invalid hierarchy specified.
Can you please let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Maruthi

I've done some work with this, and it hasn't been easy going. There is no built-in ability to form a hierarchy of measure columns, at least nothing that can be predefined as the drill for a fact column. For example: I have 220 details of expense that have an exact arrangement with 5 levels and subtotals. Besides the expense detail there are say 4 dimensions, so the expense detail would be the 5th dimension. I have both arrangements in my rpd: 4D and 5D. They can be used together or separately. The 4D basically has 1000's of measures and there is no relationship between them besides the display arrangement in Answers. The 5D has a 5 column dimension that can drill the expense column from Total_Expense down to the 220 rows of detail expense.

Hide parents in a parent-child hierarchy with dynamic rights

Hi all,
I'm facing the following issue with dynamic rights on a parent-child hierarchy:
scenario:
- a cube with a company parent-child hierarcy
- dynamic security on through a role on dimension data based on a list with user (login names) and their
departments, with Enable
Visual Total is switched ON
- Multiple facts connected to this hierarchy.
When a user connects to the cube (in this case with Excel or through a dashboard in Performance Point services) he/she is allowed to see the facts belonging to theirs departments and all child departments, so far so good. But the totals of the facts are
repeated for all higher parents. Now i know thats nog 'wrong' but our users think thats very confusing in some cases, so is there a way
- to hide the parents in the hierarhcy
- or to set all the parent measures to null/empty?
I prefer to make a solution in the cube so that all client programs can benefit from this solution.
thanx in advance for all input!

so that User A have scope: [Dimension_Name].[Attribute XYZ] and User B: [Dimension_Name].[Attribute ABC] ?
Hi Wilfred,
If I understanding correctly, you want different user can see different dimension attributes based on the different right on role, right?
Based on my research, it seems that there is no a directly way to achieve this requirement. What we can do is that "Deselect all members" for each attribute of the dimension in Dimension Data tab, which will hide all members of the dimension for the role.
Even the dimension metadata is visible in the cube in clients, its members can't be seen. Here are some useful links for your reference.

Tabular - Parent/Child hierarchy - hide duplicated rows problem

Hi All, in all the Tabular parent-child hierarchy examples I could find a measure is created to calculate current node depth. Later that measure [CurrentNodeDepth] is compared with aggregated node depth using MAX/MIN functions. The current node depth measure
uses ISFILTERED DAX functions like
CurrentNodeDepth := IF (ISFILTERED ('Hierarchy'[Level3]), 3,IF (ISFILTERED ('Hierarchy'[Level2]), 2, IF (ISFILTERED ('Hierarchy'[Level1]), 1)))
All works ok until you start filtering the hierarchy - that might happen with very big hierarchies - showing only part of hierarchy to speed up calculations. Once you set a filter there, [CurrentNodeDepth] measure gives wrong output and whole parent-child hierarchy
doesn't work as it should.

Can you provide more info on this, how have you modeled the hierarchy with the fact table, are you rolling up the measures for the child to the parent level (modeling as measures) or each employee is showing its own revenue only (modeled as attribute)? If it is modeled as measures where you join the employee table to the closure table and then that to fact table then are you applying any filters in your report ? If you are applying filters in your report and somehow only parent is filtered (and not its children) then you won't be able to drill down, though you will see the + sign against it.
