Parent-child measure calculations

Hello guys
I have requirement about parent-child hierarchy.
Here is the example:
Head Office: 800 (sum up from its descendants)
     1.Branch A 200
               1.1 Reprentative Office A 100
     2.Branch B 300
               2.1 Reprentative Office B 150
               2.1.1 Representative Office BB 50
Here is the situation, If i want to drill down from Branch A to Representative Office A so the measure of Branch A is original measure (200) and measure of Representative Office A is 100. and if i want to drill up to Branch A so the measure is sum up from Branch A and Representative Office A.
Any advice or best suggestions.

Do a combine similar request.
One criteria for Branch, do appropriate group by in fx and second criteria for Rep office. Pivot it
Thanks
Aj

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.

Does anyone know how to get past this error?

Rollup calculations in Account hierarchy (parent-child type)

Hi,
I want to create a parent-child relationship type Account hierarchy using Universe. The hierarchy has to support different set of calculations for roll ups action for different branches in the same level.
Eg.
      Balance Sheet
          (+)Assets
          (-)Liabilities and Owners Equity
      Net Income
       (+)Operating Profit
       (+)Other Income and Expenses
       (-)Taxes
Balance Sheet = Assets -Liabilities and Owners Equity
Net Income = Operating Profit + Other Income and Expenses - Taxes
Regards, Sujeev

Measures automatically roll up.
Whether you define your measure with an aggregate or not, if the projection is set to Sum, it will roll up.
Measures that are to be summed should have Sum() wrapped round them at the universe level though.
What you may have is a lot of positive values in your database and no negatives.
If that's the case, you will need to use a case statement to determine the sign of the value.
E.g.
Sum(CASE WHEN Type='Asset' THEN table.value WHEN Type='Liability' THEN -1*table.value ELSE 0 END)

OBIEE11g - Hierarchy parent-child with a factable measure(poor performance)

Hi
I have a star model with a hierarchy parent child, joined to the fact table.
Creating a new analysis, and adding the hierarchy column with any other field from any dimension (on selected columns or filters) all works fine, and the hierarchy displays every level very fast.
But adding a measure from the fact table, the hierarchy performance drops dramatically and I have to wait 20-30 seconds to see each new level displayed.
Taking a look at the SQL launched, seems to be all right:
The measure is a COUNT(DISTINCT factable.field) and the group by is done by Parent,Child fields in the hierarchy table.
Is there any other way to set up this hierarchy? Why the measures are reducing the performance?
Any comment will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Try these
Use Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM) URL to monitor end to end OBIEE real time performance: http://<server>:7001/em
In Oracle Business Intelligence 11g, the perfmon URL is still valid to use i.e. http://<server>:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Perfmon

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.

Distinct members in parent child hierarchy

Hi I have got parent child hierarchy set up on a cube in one of my projects.
Now i have a requirement to show distinct objects in that hierarchy i.e distinct parent + distinct child
can some one help me for MDX that i can use for calculated measure to give me desired result?

Inclue children and exclue children in a single hierarchy in parent child dimension in mdx

hi,
include children and exclude children in a single hierarchy in parent child dimension in mdx
*12-parent
**20-parent
- 9-parent
--250-child1
--210-child2
--240-child3
aggregation of 12-parent only
aggregation of 20-parent only
aggregation of 9 with children
regards,
Manish

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]

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.

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.

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)

Navigation in Parent Child Hiearachy is a bug in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 ?

Hi All,
Please look into one of my earlier posts
OBIEE 11g - Navigation in Parent Child Hiearchy not working
One of my friends Ram told me that this is an Oracle Bug in 11.1.1.6. It's I just wanted to know if anybody has faced the same issue and reported this as a bug in Oracle. Unfortunately, i don't have the privileges to log a bug or see the bug information, can anybody please provide any information on this ?
Thanks,

Hi,
Bug 14406555 : 11.1.1.6.2BP1 UPGRADE : ACTION LINK INTERACTION FAILS WITH GETLEVELINFO ERROR
FYI: MOS
What actually did happen?
After the upgrade, when they expand the parent-child hierarchy and click on the measure column to navigate through the Action Link, nothing happens and they see error in the IE browser at the bottom - Message: 'getLevelInfo(...)' is null or not an objectLine: 1Char: 11175Code: 0URI: http://nyfsqla105.ny.fw.gs.com:9704/analytics/res/b_mozilla/answers/selectionsmodel.js It does not show any error in FF but it does not do anything. Inspite of checking "Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime" for Action links, it does show pop up after the upgrade.

Parent-child relation

hi,
i create parent and child values for a segment in GL
how can i create a automatic calculation of the amount of all the child values for a parent value?
thanks a lot,
best regards

Hi
If you set up "Parent Child" Relationship in Oracle, the system will not sum up the child values at the parent level. However if you use the parent value in FSG the system will sum up the child values and show the same in FSG report.
If you want automatic summing up, you must use summary accounts and rollup groups feature in Oracle.
But I suggest that if you are using a small sized Chart of account (350-400 items), I suggest using parent child relationship since it is intutive.

Parent/Child Master Data Type

I recently created a new master data type in my model, which included one attribute with the 'parent' check box checked - to signify that it was to be used as the parent.
Upon activating the master data type - the system auto generated several other attributes within the master data type. My question is, what is the purpose of these additional attributes and how are they to be used?
Before Activation:
Attribute
Description
Notes
ID
ID
<< marked as key and as required
DESCR
Description
<< no special check boxes checked
PID
Parent ID
<< marked with parent check box
After activation:
Attribute
Description
Notes
ID
ID
<< marked as key and as required
DESCR

Hey JJ,
The purpose of these attributes is for parent-child hierachy relationship.
In addition to above mentioned attributes, you should also notice (via HANA studio), that another Planning object gets generated automatically. The new planning object should be the name of your parent-child object plus "_ANC" prefix at the end.
If you take a look at this planning object, you will notice that the object contains all the generated attributes (your attriubute plus "A" prefix at the end) in the definition.
Once you load data into your parent-child hiearchy object the "_ANC" object will automatically get populated with parent-child node relationship.
"A-prefix" attriubutes essentially represents the attributes of ancestor in this case.
In addition, in order to do Ancestor rolllup in your calculation you will also need to create an ancestor planning level which contains all the attriubutes of your base planning level as well as these "A-Prefix" attributes.
Please take a look at the document we created for "How to configure Parent-Child Hiearchy" from the share link
It has more detailed information.
Thanks.
Daniel.

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.

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.
