Prompt based on Dimension Hierarchy

Hi there,
We have a Organization dimension built with 5 levels : All, Company, Operating Unit, Division, Site.
eg
All
Company A
Operating Unit 1
Division 1
Site1
Site2
Division 2
Site3
Site4
Operating Unit 2
Division 3
Site5
Site6
Division 4
Site7
Site8
Company B
Operating Unit 3
Division 5
Site9
Site10
Operating Unit 4
Division 6
Site11
Site12
Division 7
Site13
Site14
Users access is determined via the security model where users are given access depending on which level they are allowed to see.
My requirement is to give users that have access to more than one level, a prompt where they can see data for any individual level they wish eg
If user1 has access to Company A, when she logs in, thh prompt must display Company A (for aggregated data) as well as all the Operating Units withing Company A and all Divisions in those Operating Units and all Sites in those Divisions...ie as per example above, she should see:
Company A
Operating Unit 1
Division 1
Site1
Site2
Division 2
Site3
Site4
Operating Unit 2
Division 3
Site5
Site6
Division 4
Site7
Site8
If user 2 with access only to Division 4 logs in, she should see data for only:
Division 4
Site7
Site8
I have tried doing this and have achieved it using 5 different prompts using the constrain option.
Is there any way that I can consolidate this into one parameter/ prompt; whereby when the user logs in, he/she can see a list of all the levels that he/she has access to in a single prompt / list of values???
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks alot,
Ash.

Yes, this can be done.
but there is little work around.. Using guided navigations
1. Create a report with column fx as case when 1=0 then markets.region else user() end
2. apply filter on this column is equal to User_1
3. Create another report with column fx as case when 1=0 then markets.region else user() end
4. apply filter on this column is equal to User_2
5. Now add all your prompts to dashboard, but each prompt should in each section object of dashboard.
6. For first section click on section properties, go to Guided Navigation...
7. Browse Source Request as first report.. and keep If request returns rows selected.
8. Repeat above step for another section.. but this time browse 2nd report.
9. Just save dashboard.
Check now..
Hope you understood..

  • Dashboard prompt on a Dimension Hierarchy in Obiee 11g

    Hi All,
    I have created a hierarchy (parent-child) on a dimension 'A'. I am able to create a dashboard prompt for the dimension hierarchy. However I am not sure how to create a report that is to be filtered on this dashboard prompt. I tried using the attribute name that the hierarchy uses but that does not work. Can some one please let me know how i can filter a report by a hierarchy dimension prompt.
    Thanks,
    Nikita

    Hi Nikita,
    For your requirement, you need to go for Selection steps pane in the analysis(report). Click on steps link and then add the hierarchy column that you want to use and expand the hierarchy to the lowest level. Now select all these and all the attributes will now appear in the other side.
    If you dont expand the hierarchy to the lowest level, then only the highest level values will appear in your selection at prompt.
    Also make sure to check the 'override' checkbox in the bottom, this helps in filtering the values.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Value based dimension hierarchy in OBIEE 10G

    Hi,
    I am a user of OBIEE10G. I have to create a value based dimension hierarchy in my RPD. My hierarchy should be such that when I click on any VP Name, the respective employees working under him/her should be shown. But my columns of VP Name and Employee_Name are present in separate dimensions. Hence when I drag the column of VP Name to Employee dimension and then create the dimension hierarchy, I get an error of illegal cross join .
    Is value based hierarchy possible in 10G?
    Pls reply.
    Thanks

    Edited by: 848789 on Sep 28, 2011 8:40 PM

    Hi Ankita,
    As per my Understanding the VP column did't map to any LTS .
    When ever u have multiple LTS in Dim Admin tool won't create Dimension Hierarchy manually we need to create that.
    Follow these steps to resolve your Problem...
    1) give the simple join in physical layer for that two tables.
    2) Create one Dim table in to BMM layer drag all columns in 2 tables in to BMM Dim table so u can able to see all the columns is mapped in to their respective LTS.
    3) Now u can create hierarchy manually step by step.Like Grand total Parent ----> Child level .
    4) If u have any fact table joined with these dimension in physical layer give the logical joins in BMM layer and set the content levels properly.
    Let me know need any detail clarification.
    Thanks,
    Satya

  • Total levels on pivot with dimension hierarchy column incorrect

    Hi,
    I have a pivot table based on a single subject area, based on an Essbase cube.
    The problem I have is that some of the totals against the collapsed dimension hierarchy column are incorrect, it is as if they remember the pre-updated state, even though I have bounced the services and turned all caching off.
    When I expand the node then the totals appear correctly, but when reverted to the collapsed state it shows nothing again.
    I have turned off caching via EM.
    I have tried all flavours of totals, default, server complex aggregate et al with the same result for all.
    I have double checked the results at source with an identical query in SmartView and the upper level dimension total is populated in its own right, as well as its children carrying totals which do not sum back to zero.
    Any suggestions please??
    thanks,
    Robert.

    Can you validate the query hitting to the database and compare the results?
    Mark if helps.

  • Report totals with dimension hierarchy column on pivot table incorrect

    Hi,
    I have a pivot table based report that has one dimension column, a dimension hierarchy column and various measures.
    The row totals do not match, detail to total, and I have tried both complex server based aggregate and report based aggregation, but neither are giving me the correct answer.
    I have also tried adding the column that is the same as the top level as the hierarchy, but hidden, but this does not help.
    I have also tried adding the lowest level of detail column, but hidden, but this does not give me the solution I need as all of the figures then appear at detail not aggregated level.
    Any ideas please?

  • Changing the dimension hierarchy level keys in RPD online mode caused issue

    Hi,
    We tried to correct the dimension hierarchy level keys and remove prefered drill path settings in the business model layer in RPD in online mode. However this caused all the reports and dashboards based off of this subject area to show incorrect, and/or restricted data. The physical query generated by the answers requests were also incorrect.
    Even restarting the server and presentation services could not resolve the issue. Can someone please help us to understand what could have caused this issue?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I am not sure why the existing reports throw an error when I change the RPD dimension hierarchy level keys. Does anyone know how I resolve this issue.

  • Dimension hierarchy creation

    Does exist best practices for creation of dimension hierarchy based on table like
    CAT_ID,PARENT_CAT_ID,CATEGORY_NAME where hierarchy tree might have different number of levels:
    level1-level2
    root -- level1-level2-level3
    level1

    Thaks for your answer, I already read those articles. Actually question was about creating in OBI of hierarchy which has different number of child levels like this:
    Organization - Division1-> Division1.2->Division1.3
    - Division2-> Division2.1->Division2.2->Division2.3
    Number of parent divisions under Organization is unlimited (Siebel model) and in table on which hierarchy is based not denormalized.

  • Display two members of same dimension hierarchy using mdx on 2 diff columns

    Hi,
    Is it possible to print the parent of a member that belongs to a certain level in the hierarchy. For this example, the Dimension hierarchy is a Variable hierarchy based on a Row Source, - BOM - Bill of Materials.
    Let say there is a BOM hierarchy with 4 levels.
    Finished Good - Comp1 - Comp2 - Comp3.
    Then we want to display in the IOP report as follows.
    Finished Good Supply Chain--These are the column headers

    The question is wrong ...
    MDX helps you to construct cross-product of indices for the underlying cube and then it tells the system to find whether there is any cell with that index, and if so, returns a value for that combination.
    If you put two dimensions next to each other, what does it mean? There is no such combination in the underlying cube as each dimension is uniquely represented. We will throw an error as follows:
    You cannot mix-up display semantics with the syntax/semantics of MDX.

  • A Question Related to Dimension Hierarchy

    Hi All,
    While going through some hierarchies, i found that some columns were associated with the levels in hierarchy but these columns were not part of level keys.
    I want to know that what is difference between the result when columns that are not level keys are associated with a logical level and when such columns are not associated with a logical level ?
    Does such columns affect the result when selected in BI Answer?
    For exp -
    Suppose i have below time dimension hierarchy -
    Time
    ->Grand Total Level 0
    ---> Year Level1
    Year (Level Key)
    Year Start Date
    Year End Date
    ---> QuarterLevel2
    Quarter(Level Key)
    Quarter Start Date
    Quarter End Date
    ---> MonthLevel3
    Month(Level Key)
    Month Start Date
    Month End Date
    ---> Day Level4
    Day (Level Key)
    Day Start Date
    Day End Date
    These start date/end date columns are not part of level keys.
    The same thing i have observed in other hierarchies too.
    I want to know that what would happen, if these columns are not present at these levels?
    So When should we associate columns those are not part of level key to levels and when we should not associate ?
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Hi ,
    The non key columns used in each of the levels help in faster retireval for that aggregate level .
    If you look closely at these columns you will find these to be unique ,now having said that another point is that these levels are also used for aggreagation
    as we all know.
    For ex at the month level the key identifies all the unique moths but if data has to be shown for one particualr month then with the start momth date and end month date the retrieval would be still better :)

  • Dimension Hierarchy

    We are in the process of creating a dimension hierarchy. We see multiple options here
    There is Logical Level. Each logical level can have multiple keys. Each key (*Logical Level Keys* ) can have multiple multiple columns. Each column has a check box. The Logical Level Key dialog shows Use for drill down option.
    What is the significance of
    keys
    Logical Level Keys
    The check boxes

    Any thoughts on this please ?

  • OBI EE 10g: Bridge tables and Based on Dimensions Aggregation

    hi experts,
    i am working on OBI EE 10 g (10.1.3.4)
    The BM&M layer consist of:
    1) Logical fact table "Sale_Indicators"
    Fields: SALE_ID (PK, FK),
    D1_ID (FK),
    D2_ID (FK),
    Indicator1 (measure, level of granularity: SALE_ID),
    Indicator2 (measure, level of granularity: SALE_ID),
    Indicator3 (measure, level of granularity: SALE_ID)
    2) Logical dimension table
    "Sales" (PK: SALE_ID),
    "D1" (PK: D1_ID),
    "D2" (PK: D2_ID),
    "Customers" (PK: SALE_ID, CUST_ID) - bridge table!
    "Products" (PK: SALE_ID, PROD_ID) - bridge table!
    3) Dimensions: SalesDim, D1Dim, D2Dim, CustomersDim, ProductsDim
    If fact table is joined with bridge table, the number of rows in fact table is multiplied, for example:
    D1_ID | SALE_ID | CUST_ID | Indicator1
    777 | 1 | 14 | 10
    777 | 1 | 17 | 10
    777 | 2 | 15 | 12
    888 | 3 | 16 | 20
    888 | 3 | 17 | 20
    888 | 4 | 19 | 30
    I need to get report:
    D1_ID | Indicator1 (SUM)
    777 | 22
    888 | 50
    and with filter by customer, for example (CUST_ID = 17):
    D1_ID | Indicator1 (SUM)
    777 | 10
    888 | 20
    i am trying to use "based on dimension" aggregation, for example (Indicator1):
    Dimension Formula
    CustomersDim MIN
    ProductsDim MIN
    Others SUM
    The generated physical SQL performs joining EVERY dimension to the fact table, even though they are not included in the final result set.
    Is there any way to tweak logical or physical model in order to eliminate excessive joins?
    Thanks in advance!

    I found this text on the help, but I didn't understand, because when I check the "based on dimensions" check box, I can choose aggregation rules for each dimension, not only the time dimension.
    Also, I found in the help menu:
    "In the Aggregation tab, select the Based on dimensions check box.
    The Browse dialog box automatically opens.
    In the Browse dialog box, click New, select a dimension over which you want to aggregate, and then click OK.
    In the Aggregation tab, from the Formula drop-down list, select a rule."
    I did the same steps suggested by the text above, but it didn't work.

  • Default value of prompt based on another request

    Hello:
    I have a requirement where I need to set default values of prompts based on another request.
    The prompt is a Date Prompt.
    I tried it using presentation variable, and writing sql query, where is says " WHERE promo_id= @{variable}"
    but it is still not working.
    Please let me know the workaround for this issue.
    Thank you.
    - Vinay

    How is the End Date determined for your BETWEEN operator? I would assume that is variable. Also, is the second report on another dashboard page or on the same page? Assuming both reports are on the same page, do the below. If not, you can use the same prompts on the second dashboard page. Set the scope to "dashboard" and the selection the user makes carries to the second page.
    The easiest way is to have 3 Dashboard prompts: Promo_ID, Start_Dt, and End_Date. Set these prompts to PVs: pvPromoID, pvStartDate, and pvEndDate, respectively.
    Filter report one on pvPromoID and pvStartDate.
    Filter the second report on pvPromoID and use pvStartDate in the filter of the Date column of report two. Assuming the BETWEEN values are variable, then you can write the following on the Date column of your second report:
    "Table Name"."Date ColumnName" <= '@{pvStartDate}' AND Table name"."Date Column Name" <='{EndDate}'
    And on your Promo column, use the filter "Table Name".Promo = '@{pvPromoID}'
    When the user selects the Promo ID, Start Date and End Date from the prompts, both the first and second reports will be filtered accordingly.

    year........count...month......revenue
    2001........ 1........ jan............100
    .................2.........feb............200
    .................3......... mar...........300
    .................4......... apr............400
    2002.........1...........jan..........500
    .................2..........feb...........600
    .................3..........mar..........700
    If you are expecting the same format, first break the report deportment wise. Create the variable count with bellow formula.
    =RunningCount([Month];Break)
