Passing hierarchy node variable in a hyperlink

Question

Hi,
We are on XI 3.1 SP3.
We have a BW summary query with hierarchy active, with hierarchy node variable as "optional" selection variable. Created Universe based on the query and built a WebI report. Have activated "Drill". That way we are able to drill down per the levels. This works fine.
We have another BW detail query with optional hierarchy node selection. Created a universe and a WebI report for the detail report..
When we try to create a hyperlink from the summary WebI report to the detail WebI report in "display" mode, creation of Hyperlink is very intutive. We are able to pass parameters.and the hyperlink works fine.
The only problem occurs when we try to pass the hierarchy node variable value. The value of the hierarchy node gets passed, but the report does not bring over any data,
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround.
Kindly advice.

Answer 1

Hello,
Ingo, thanks for your comment Sorry for the delayed response.
Let me explain my scenario. On my report I have the following:
1. Sales Hierarchy (5 level hierarchy)
2. Product Group (Hyperlink created - want to pass Sales Hierarchy node value + Product group to detail report)
3. Key Figure 1
4. Key Figure 2
I have activated drill which allows me to drill down the Sales Hierarchy.
Scenaio A.  Pass just the Product Group Key. Success
If I just pass the  "Product Group Key", the detail report shows me the data for the specific Product Group as expected. This is a successful test
Scenario B -  Pass the Sales Hierarchy Node key and the Product Group Key Fails
In this case, I am passing the "Product Group key" along with the "L00 Sales Hierarchy key". When I click on the hyperlink, it gives me an empty detail report. I know for sure that values exist for all levels. If I run my detail report stand-alone, I am able to get values for all levels.
However if I drill down to the last level in the Sales Hierarchy, the detail report shows correct value. For last level, the Sales Hierarchy Node value gets passed correctly along with the Product Group key.
URL generated is as follows:

In the URL you can see that correct values are getting passed
Product+Group=11101101
Sales+Hierarchy=B01
Do I need to append any value to the "B01" value ?
I did not understand the part about appending [ ] or 0HIER.
Can you please explain.
Thnaks for all your help.
