Single Element in Multiple hierarchies

Hi ,
Is it possible to have single element in multiple hierarchies in OBI EE .Lets say I have an prebuilt hierarchies
Programs-->Campaigns and Offer--> Treatment?
Can i create one more hierarchy Programs--> Campaigns --> Offer.It doesnot allow me to drag the offer_name to any other hierarchy since offer--> treatment hierarchy is present.
Any pointers?
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav

Hi YSS,
Thanks for yopur reply.
The example which u sent to me is different to the requirement which iam looking for.Here is the more detailed abt my scenario.I have a cost element and under this cost element i have for example 4 hierarchies.under each hierarchy there are several sub nodes.in my query i want to disply like this.
Hierarchy 1       Kf1 Kf2 Kf3
    sub node 1
      sub node 2
       Result
Hierarchy 2
    sub node 1
      sub nde 2
       Result
I hope now its more clear.please let me know if its possible and also can u explain how we can create Hierarchy variables to enable end user to select required hierarchies while running the query.
Thanks,
Vaka

Dimension Design - Single Dimension with Multiple Hierarchies

Morning,
the purpose of this discussion is to understand how we should design a specific dimension with 3 levels and multiple hierarchies for optimal performance.
We have an institution dimension with the following characteristics:
Characteristics
Dimension: Institution
Levels:
1. Total Bank (TB) Level
2. Peer Group (PG) Level
3. Institution Level
Hierarchies:
1. Some of the hierarchies have 3 levels and others have only 2 levels (Skip Level)
2. ALL the hierarchies have a TB level and an Institution level
3. None of the hierarchies have the same leafs
4. Some of the hierarchies leafs can overlap
Design:
We are considering two approaches for the institution dimension levels:
a)
Levels:
Hierarchy 1 TB Level
Hierarchy 1 PG Level
Hierarchy 1 Inst Level
Hierarchy 2 TB Level
Hierarchy 2 Inst Level
Hierarchy 3 TB Level
Hierarchy 3 Inst Level
Note:
This approach is working and the resulting dimension and cubes are used by OBIEE, but some of the OBIEE analysis takes a long time (more than a minute) to return the results.
At this point, we are not sure whether this approach will result in an optimal design from a performance perspective and are looking at restructuring the dimension to represent only the three conceptual levels as indicated below.
b)
Levels:
1. Total Bank (TB) Level
2. Peer Group (PG) Level
3. Institution Level
The rest of the dimension i.e. hierarchies, attributes and mappings are defined in the same way.
The cube associated with this dimension have approximately 80 million records.
Please advise on any best practices or design considerations that we need to take into account.
Thanks

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.
Cheers,

How to use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query

Hi,
Is there any way that we can use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query. I tried and it just allows me to select one hierarchy even if I use hierarchy variable.
I have a requirement where user wants to see information related to a cost center with different cost center groups in different hierarchies (every year has different cost center group hierarchies).
Suppose I want to see information related to a cost center from year 2001-2004.in these four year cost center may have been associated to different groups depending upon that year hierarchy. How can I do that?
Thanks
Jona

Nope. Now way to do this.
There is always just one hierarchy assigned to a characteristic. And even if the hierarchy was time dependent, it only reads it for one key date and not according to transaction data.

Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?

Is it possible to have Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?
Like 1)Year-Qtr-Month-Weeks 2)Year-Month-Days

Hi,
or if your lowest level is the same like
Day->month->year->Total
Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
Then yes, it is.
Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.
Then when you would add your second base level, there is a special option for it, something like use other hierarchy level/shared level (sorry can't recall and does not have a connection right now) then you select your existing day level under your businessmonth level.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
D

Multiple Hierarchies on single characteristic in BEx

In BEx 3.5 Is there a way to display multiple hierarchies/groups on one characteristic? For example, reporting by a Cost Element with several child hierarchy subgroups from differnt parents. An orphanage if you will.
I try that and the fisrt group displays but the rest are in Not Assigned area.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of. I'm finding that to be true as well. I tried building a custom hierarchy based on sub-groups of other hierarchies. Not possible either. That would be a nice feature to have, so that the sub-groups are maintianed as they are from the source.

Multiple hierarchies single dimension single report

I am trying to add multiple hierarchies from a single dimension in a single report. To create the hierarchy in BI admin I followed the instructions found here
Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.3/2 &#8211; One Dimension &#8211; Multiple Hierarchies &laquo; Business Intelligence &am…
and here
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2440305
My Patient hierarchy looks like the this
All Patients->Gender->Patient ID
All Patients->Age Group->Patient ID
When I drag and drop the second hierarchy in the Criteria Oracle BI Answers says the following "...you can only add one hierarchy per dimension to a report". I deduct that what I am trying to do is not possible!:-)
Q1: Is this feature indeed not supported or am I doing something wrong?
Q2: If this is not supported can someone explain why?
Version Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.6.0

a) Reporting across levels of 2 hierarchies is not supported. As explained below, you cannot use OLAP to get aggregate values at cross combination of levels from hierarchies: H1 and H2.
However if you wish to, you can report at the lowest level, Patient, common to both hierarchies and display the Age Group as well as Gender attributes corresponding to each patient. This becomes reporting at Patient/lowest level. You can of course use the capabilities of the reporting tool like obiee to use a Pivot object (say) and exclude Patient columns like Id, name etc. and get obiee to perform localized summaries within the reporting layer and get summarizations of interest. OBIEE Pivot measures allow for aggregation using Min, Max, Sum, Count, Running Sum etc. OLAP facilitates this solution but does not particularly help in the aggregation (since aggregation is now being done in obiee and not as per cube definition rules in olap aw). It acts as a source for information at the lowest level stored in the cube. Some performance degradation would result but it may be acceptable/manageable depending on the data volumes/report criteria.
NOTE: For workaround/solution, use the regular fields, not hierarchical columns, from OBIEE presentation layer.
b) Not supported: OLAP Cubes contain pre-calculated (or dynamically calculated) summaries at various level of each hierarchy. This aids in faster reporting performance. Allowing 2 hierarchies at the same time defeats this feature/goal. A cross combination of levels across different hierarchies requires a dynamic recalculation of the detail records to get the right values for, say, Age Group: 30-39 and Gender: Male. H1 summaries at AgeGroup level for Age Group: 30-39 cover all genders and cannot be split up into male/female w/o recalculation. Similarly H2 summaries at Gender level for Gender: Male cover all age groups. Splitting it up is not possible except via workaround/ solution explained in (a).
Hope that helps.

Defining multiple hierarchies for single dimension in Administrator?

Hello,
We are attempting to define multiple hierarchies in a single dimension in Administrator. The following two examples are representative use cases for what we're trying to do:
DateDim
----By Calendar Quarter
--------By Calendar Month
------------By Week
----------------By Day
----By Fiscal Quarter
--------By Fiscal Month
----By Calendar Month
--------By Week
Note that "By Calendar Month" can't really be a shared level because we do not want to include "By Day" in the third hierarchy.
ServiceLocationDim
----By Sales Region
--------By State
------------By City
----By State
--------By City
------------By Zip
----------------By Store
Note again that "By State" can't be a shared level because its children differ in the two hierarchies.
The goal is to have multiple drilldown paths supported. If there is a different way to do this in Administrator that does not use hierarchies, that would be acceptable.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Matt Warden

Hi,
when defining multiple hierarchies in a dimension, the lowest level needs to be the same for each hierarchy...that's a prerequisite.
But I think you can define them this way...and restrict your 'drill' level on your fact table...as I think you will have a different aggregation level overthere.
So for your dimension you'll set the logical level on the lowest level and in your fact you can play with the logical level depending on to the drill level?
Can that help you?

How do you assign multiple values to a single element in an array?

I'm probably not wording the question right.
I have an array, let's call it M[], and for each element in the array (we'll say M[1]), I need assign three integers: row, col and value.
I need to set it up so I can do something like this:
A.row = M[i].col;
A[i].col = M[i].row;
A[i].value = M[i].value;
The algorithm isn't what I need help with, it's assigning .col, .row and .value to an index of an array.
Please help if you can.

You are right. You did not word your question perfectly, but I still think I get what you want.
First of all: A single element in an array always has exactly one value. No more, no less.
But that's not a problem. The element in an array is either of a primitive type (boolean, byte, char, short, int, long, float, double) or it's a reference (to a Object, String, MyClass, ...).
You can simply write a class that holds your three values and create an array of that type:
public class SomeData {
public int row;
public int col;
public int value;
// somewhere else:
SomeData[] a = new SomeData[10];
a[0] = new SomeData();
a[0].row = 10;
a[0].col = 5;
a[0].value = 42;Note how you only assign a single value to the element (a[0]) itself. All other assignment actually go to fields of the object refered to by that element in the array.
Also note that in Java types (such as classes, interfaces, ...) should start with a upper-case letter, while variables (local variables, members, parameters) and method names should start with a lower-case letter.
Edit: I'm getting old ...

Multiple hierarchies in one dimesion

Hi all,
I am new in using AWM. I have problem when using two hierarchies in one dimension. This is sample of dimension.
A
---+B
-----+B1
-------+B2
---------+B3
---+C
-----+C1
-------+C2
---------+C3
Dimension is A and it has two hierarchies B and C. Maintaining the cube is succesfull. But when "add" this cube in OBIEE and try to make request using B1 and C1 we are getting error. How we can have mulitple hierarchies in one dimension and combine columns from hierarchies? We are using database 11g, AWM 11.2.0.2 and OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
Thanks all

Maybe you need to join the generic dimension view A_VIEW with the fact-cube view in the physical layer of rpd on the basis of the key corresponding to the (common) lowest level of the dimension.
Regd your dimension hierarchy setup:
A
---+B
-----+B1
-------+B2
---------+B3
---+C
-----+C1
-------+C2
---------+C3It looks like you have column/level B3 as leaf level of hierarchy B and C3 as leaf level of hierarchy C.
Is this distinction piurely logical and the same physical column is used to represent both B3 and C3?
Then A_VIEW and Fact view should be joined on basis of this single common level key column.
Generally a dimension A with multiple hierarchies B and C will work fine when you have a common lowest level D, say, which acts as the leaf level for both hierarchies of the dimension.
Can you model the hierarchy as
A
---+B
-----+B1
-------+B2
---------+B3
-----------+D
---+C
-----+C1
-------+C2
---------+C3
-----------+D NOTE1: Same level/column D acts as leaf level of Hierarchy B as well as Hierarchy C. We should not use 2 different columns D1 and D2 even if they contain the same data
NOTE2: Dimension A is joined to Fact F1 via level/column D.
In that case, you can issue a query against Fact F1 which uses both level columns B and C from different hierarchies of A against a measure defined in Fact table F1.
You can even add a filter (where clause) on columns B/C/both B and C as required.
Result will be at the granularity of level D (not summarized to either level B along HI_B hierarchy or level C along HI_C hierarchy) -- 1 record per distinct member at Level D of default hierarchy with the corresponding values for columns B and C available as part of the output since they are ancestor fields and availble at level D. A smart reporting tool like OBIEE or BO can even exclude the column corresponding to D locally within a pivot and create ad-hoc, report level, pivot table based local summaries (aggregated results for each combination of values in columns B and C).

Discoverer support for multiple hierarchies

Hi all,
is it true that Discoverer supports only a single hierarchy per Analytic Workspace dimension?
If this is true what is the recommended work-around:
- create an AW dimension per hierarchy?
- forget about analytic workspaces and take a ROLAP approach?
- other?
thank you in advance for any hints
Nikos

I'm not a discoverer user, so what I say might not apply, but in general it usually doesn't make sense to select members from multiple hierarchies. This would give end users of a report the ability to select values that don't accurately represent the total levels displayed.
I guess my questions would be:
a) what business value does picking dim values from multiple hierarchies serve?
and
b) it is possible in discoverer to simply not select any hierarchy and just choose the dimension values without one? Would that solve your problem?
I guess high level this doesn't sound like either a bug or non-functional support issue, it sounds more like intended functionality.
Let us know what your needs are! Maybe we can give a better answer if we know what business problem you are trying to solve.
Thx,
Scott

Multiple Hierarchies display in BW report

Hi All,
I am having issue regarding multiple hierarchies display in BW report, not all levels are displayed, but i can see them in their respective hierarchy maintenance.
i have a report like project definition hierarchy then WBS hierarchy then followed by Order info object into rows and then some KFs in colums.
when i drill down project definition hierarchy i coudn't able to see some middle nodes, but few at the bottom which have orders in next WBS hierarchies. and same as in WBS hierarchy i can see ony few WBS which have orders.
But i want to display all project definition nodes and WBS hierarchy nodes. even though there are no ordes for WBS elements.
there are no zero supressions neither in Hierarchy attributes nor in KF structures.
what could be the problem, how can i resolve it. I have been searching in SDN but couldnt find suitable solutions. Please let me know the earliest.
Thanks
Robyn.

Hi,
The problem that you have explained generally comes because of two problems.
1. If you do check for zero suppression
2. You don't go for full expansion level of heirarchy.
Any way you mentioned first case is not applicable for you, check for second case. Expand heirarchy upto maximum level. Your problem will be resolved.

Reg- Single invoice for multiple delivery docs

Dear All,
WIth the suggestions from the below given thread, i have changed the routines in copying control for item level as 03.
SAP ERP Sales and Distribution (SAP SD)
Using delivery duelist(VF04) , I selected 2 pending docs and tried to create billing doc , but it got created as separate invoice. what is the actual process to create single invoice from multiple delivery document.
Rgds

Those deliveries having same criteria like,
1. Payer
2. Payment Term
3. Incoterms
4. Destination country
5. Billing date
6. Actual Goods issue date
7. Foreign data trade
8. Billing doc type
9. Shipping conditions
10 Account assignmment group
11. Exchange rate
12 Billing relevance field in the item category
13 Sold to party
will be combined into one Billing document automatically and this controlled from the copy control table. and it VTFL choose your delivery header and in that at item level VBRK/VBRP should be 001
In VF01 you can input three or more such deliveries and execute then those will be combined in to a single bill and you can do that in VF04 also
Regards

Single invoice for multiple orders with different divisions

Dear All,
while I am trying to do single invoice for muliple orders with different divisons invoice is gettting splitted..In copy control vbrk routine I tried with 003 and 007 etc..but result is same..what configuration need to be done for getting the single invoice
Thanks In advance
Regards
CNRNAIR

Hello
single invoice for multiple orders with "different divisions" invoice is getting split
FYI - Different Division means different Sales Area.
So, sales doc (whether sales order, Delivery & Billing) is applicable to EXACTLY one sales area.
Thus, combining docs with different sales area is practically impossible.
Provided, you are using common division.
Hope this assist you,
Thanks & REgards

Single invoice for multiple deliveries STO PO

Hi All,
Need to create single invoice from multiple deliveries. These deliveries are created from STO PO and not from sales order...
VF04 will not work..
Please let me know if there is any standard t. code for creation of single invoice out of multiple STO PO deliveries...
Thanks
Vishwas

Hi
The considerations are equal. The question is check in copy rules (for instance, in VTFL you must check the pair IV-NLCC, instead F2-LF). See note 1561427 - Billing document split and related notes.
I hope this helps you
