Unbalanced BW hierarchies in Webi

Hi all.
I have an issue with interpreting unbalanced hierachies from BW in WebI.
The issue occurs when importing a SAP Bex Query, containing an Infoobject
bearing a hierarchy - in this case 0ORGUNIT. The problem occurs when trying to
show 0EMPLOYEE per Organizational Unit. The employee should only be
displayed when they are directly linked to the orgunit (as known from Bex) however in WebI all employes are shown at the highest levels in the hierarch. This obviously returns a long list of employees per hierachy level.
It ought to be possible only to show 0EMPLOYEE when they are directly
related to the Organizational Unit in the hierarchy.
I tried to built a hierarchy in the Universe, where the hierarchy
dimensions are listed chronologically, and placed 0employee at the
buttom. This didn't work either as the hierarch is unbalanced and not
all branches have the same amount of nodes.
Anyone know of a fix to this. I'm aware that WebI traditionally was intended to report on non-dimensional data however I would expect that there is a workaround for this issues or do I really have to move to an OLAP based client (Pioneer or Crystal) ??.
Steps for Reconstruction    
1) Create a Bex query containing an Infoobject with a hierarchy
2) Create a universe based on Bex Query
3) In the universe create a hierarchy (Tools -> Hiearchy) based on the
hierarchy level dimensions from the infoobject
4) In Webi create new web intelligence report based on the universe
5) Add a keyfigure, ex. Employee and the first level of your hierachy.
6) Run query and enable drilldown
8) How to show orgunit (and employee when the employee is directly
related to a given orgunit)?

hi,
please can you send me the screen shot of universe how you have design and also let me know hierarchies and infocube you are you are using

  • Hierarchical Filter Web Item causes validation warning.

    When I validate my web template which contains a hierarchical filter web item agianst the server I get the following warning (W1):
    Mapping for Service item_validation_service for Object HIERARCHICAL_FILTER_ITEM missing
    Maybe this also relates to my problem of not having the possibility to choose a characteristic for the hierarchical filter (see my post <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=209968&tstart=0">https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=209968&tstart=0</a>)
    How can I fix this mapping issue?
    Thanks to any answers in advance.

    Hello,
    Your first problem is that ABAP SP does not equal Java SP. This is not a valid scenario.
    Please update both to <b>the same SP level</b>.
    After it, please retest your problem. I think that the problems will be solved (at least this one with validation service).
    Short explanation to validation service:
    Every template created in WAD will be validated before saving it. We have two validations:
    1. one is locally with the meta data this checks if:
      - all used parameters are on its place,
      - all parameter values are valid,
      - all defined items are existing...
    2. second one is extended validation on the Java Server: this one checks i.e. following:
      - are all used data providers valid
      - are all used characteristics valid
      - item dependent validation (e.g. if one item needs a dependency between to setting - this can be checked here)
    The first one will be executed in Front-End and in ABAP Back-End. The second one in Java. Because your Java stack is /probably/ lower than ABAP, this validation does not work.
    I hope I have explained it clearly.

  • Hierarchies on web

    Hello gurus,
    I have a bps planning layout with a bw hierarchy, and it works fine on tr. bps0. But on web it doesn´t show as hierarchy.
    Do I have to costumize something to make it works?
    Thks.
    Vitor
    P.S. Points it will be regarded.

    hi....when you open WAD, on the left hand side you have different web items. Check in that for hierarchy list.
    On query designer, When you click the characteristic, you can see on the right hand pane......tab page called hierarchy.

  • Unbalanced hierarchies in OBIEE+

    Hi everyone,
    We're starting to research and learn OBIEE+ in an effort to see if it can compliment what we're currently doing with the Hyperion toolset and the first stumbling block that I've encountered is with unbalanced (ragged) hierarchies. Does OBIEE+ natively support building a business model with unbalanced hierarchies? My data model is basically a star schema and my dimensions are stored in parent / child relationship tables rather than generational tables. Second question is if there is any native functionality within the product to handle parent / child relationship tables.
    Thanks!

    do search - There're few excellent blog posts describing in detail how to implement rugged hierarchies...

  • BW hierarchies issue with BOBJ Reporting tools

    Hi All,
    Brief about the requirement:
    Our client was using Mainframe and other tools for their reporting. Now as they have planned to go for SAP, purchased SAP BW 7 and SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 for warehouse and reporting purposes.
    Initial Road map planned for implementation was
    o     to use Crystal for operational and formatted reporting
    o     to use WebI for Ad hoc and interactive reporting
    o     to use Xcelsius for Dashboards
    Once we started analysing the requirements, we observed that client requires hierarchies extensively for reporting and they donu2019t want to compromise in that for reporting. At this situation we have explored the options and came to know from the SAP sites that BO got limitations in case of BW hierarchies. But we not able to articulate the what is the exact issue. Is it with only WebI or Crystal also?
    What we have articulated is we cannot report the hierarchies in BO in terms of nodes - > Sub nodes -> sub nodes instead we can do as fixed columns. Please add me if i am missing anything else.
    And also please let us know options. Options that we were thinking are Implement with BO XI 3.1 considering Advanced analysis tool then upgrade to BO XI 4.1.
    Please suggest us, what is the BW & BO hierarchy issue and right tools to use.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bala

    Our client uses XI 3.2 but is experiencing issues with Hierarchical BEX queries returning blanks - the mdx is fine - just webi that seems to have a problem and I'm also trying to determine in exactly which instances this occurs.
    XI 4.x supposedly resolves mots issues but here again details are not known.
    I.e. hopefully someone can point to an info source that describes in more detail what issues are likely to occur re hierarchies and webi.

  • WebI issue with hierarchy display and aggregation

    Trying to wrangle what looks like a defect in WebI's handling of hierarchy display and aggregation. We just completed an update cycle and are running BOBJ 4.1 SP4.
    The hierarchy is a standard FM Commitment Item hierarchy in which both the nodes and leaves are Commitment Items (i.e. it uses InfoObject nodes, not text nodes). An example of one of these nodes looks like this in BW:
    Cmmt_Item A - Node
        Cmmt_Item B - Leaf
        Cmmt_Item C - Leaf
    Let's pretend Commitment Item A has $50 posted to it, B has $20 and C has $30. Analysis for OLAP handles this by adding a virtual leaf line to distinguish postings that are on the parent node like so:
    Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
        Cmmt_Item A - Leaf    $50
        Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
        Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
    So you see both the total for the node ($100) and a line for each Commitment Items with KFs posted to them. Our users like this. They can easily see the aggregation and the breakdown.
    WebI, on the other hand, will display it like this:
    Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
        Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
        Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
    It doesn't create a separate line for the value of the parent node, but it does add it's value into the aggregate. Twice. Modifying the table with the 'avoid duplicate row aggregation' checkbox yields output like this:
    Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Node        $50
        Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
        Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
    We're about halfway there. While the top row now shows the correct aggregation and it creates a new line to show the distinct amount on the parent node, that new line appears on the same level as the parent. It's no longer clear that there's an aggregate and a breakdown. And attempting to expand or contract a node will now crash the report with one of those 'Error 16' messages.
    Has anyone encountered this issue with hierarchies in WebI? This report was built from scratch in 4.1, so I'm not sure if this affects older versions or not. Or if it would affect any hierarchy that uses InfoObject nodes instead of text nodes.

    Without a fix, the simplest workaround I can think of would be to restructure the hierarchy. It can't use postable nodes, so Cmmt_Item A  - Node from my example would need to be converted into a text node and the postable characteristic added as a child on the same level as the B and C leaves.
    This looks like it would affect anyone using hierarchies with postable nodes in a WebI report.
    Another oddity in WebI's behavior here - even though the postable nodes show incorrect sums the sum at the root node is correct. So extending my examples from the original post:
    Root Node                    $100
        Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
            Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
            Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30

  • Issue with hierarchy node variable and multiple SAP hierarchies

    Hello experts,
    We are currently facing an issue when using two SAP hierarchies in Web Intelligence and one of them is restricted with a hierarchy node variable.
    The systems we use are a SAP BI 7.01 (SPS 05) and a Business Objects Enterprise XI R3.1 SP2 (fix pack 2.3). I want also to point out that the fix pack 2.3 has been applied to all BOE related components: the SAP integration Kit, client tools, and enterprise (server and client).
    The universe used in our scenario is based on a BEX Query with two hierarchies (non-time dependent hierarchies, intervals allowed) loaded on their corresponding characteristics. One of these characteristics is restricted with a hierarchy node variable (manual input, optional, ready for input, multiple single values allowed). 
    Prerequisites for replicating the problem:
    1)     When building the web intelligence query select several levels from both hierarchies (they have seven levels each) and    the   only amount of the InfoCube that the BEX query (that was used to create our universe) relies on.
    2)     In the hierarchy node variable prompt select a hierarchy node entry (not an actual InfoObject value that exists as transactional data in the InfoCube )
    By executing the query built above, all characteristics are returned null (no value) and the key figure with value u201C0u201D. No error messages, no partial results warnings.  Now if we go back to u201CEdit queryu201D and select levels of only one of any of the two hierarchies the query runs normally (by selecting the exact same value for the hierarchy node variable prompt).
    Any ideas on the matter?
    Regards,
    Giorgos

  • Suggestion for web module

    My workflow of capturing, editing, managing and publishing images on the web could be greatly enhanced if Lightroom's web module had the capability of creating and managing hierarchies of web galeries. Since this is not possible at the moment I still have to use another software to create my online photo gallery. Isn't this an obvious feature that's missing?

    I second this idea.
    This is especially important for the situations when I have a hierarchy of the directories with photos. In this case I would like to be able to tell LR to produce web galleries with preserved hierarchy, instead of making a web gallery in each directory, and then designing the "top" gallery(ies) separately.

  • Hierarchy variables in UDT

    Hi all,
    We have a User hierarchy ... in that we have User Group,User Territory,User Terr in User names.
    These User Group,Terr are populating through Customer exit.
    This hierarchy is working fine Till Bex but when i create Universe on top of this in UDT, they should come as Prompt for the user to
    select Which user hierarchy he want.
    Ex:If user selects User group as part of User hierarchy then again he can be asked to choose User group.
    Please tell me how to do this.

    Hello Farzana,
    in the XI 3.1 OLAP Universes (UNV) a hierarchy variable is supported but keep in mind that the Universe will generate the Universe based on the model at the time when you create the Universe and there will always be limitations when it comes to hierarchies in Web Intelligence.
    The recommended approach to connect to BW for Web Intelligence is to use the direct link to the BEx queries.
    If you really want to use the hierarchies from BW you should look at the Analysis products and not Web Intelligence

  • Overview City Model, Dashboards, Reports BW and Ad-hoc reporting

    Hello everyone,
    We have different informations views from CCLM.
    Overview City Model, Dashboards, Reports BW and Ad-hoc reporting.
    I would like to know Which cubes and tables are Involved in each one of theses reports.
    I know Ad-hoc reporting (RAGS_CC_REPORTING) use the next tables: AGS_CC_QUALITY, AGS_CC_OBJECTS, AGS_CC_ATTRIB, AGS_CC_VERSION. AGS_CC_LAST_USG, AGS_CC_USAG, AGS_CC_SIMIL,  any more?
    About City Model, I think It use table AGS_CC_CRIT and AGS_CC_QUALITY and Cube 0SM_CCITY, but I am not sure if its totally true or there are more.
    About DashBoards I think it use Cube 0SM_ESRSG, cube 0SM_CCLM ??, table AGS_CC_QUALITY ?? but I am not sure....
    The goal is to know, for example ATC quality in table AGS_CC_ATC_SYS you can´t view in the ad-hoc reporting...
    thanks and regards.

  • Authorized Roles

    Authentication type: JAAS
    Use Role-based Authorization: checked
    Authorization Type: JAAS
    We have an application that will be accessed by users with role A in "Edit mode" and users with role B in "Query Mode". Role A also has sub role C. (meaning all users with role C will have access to role A as well)
    What we have done so far:
    OID is set up with all three roles A, B, C in the hierarchical order
    web.xml has all three roles defined
    Application Definition editor for the view has the following values:
    Authorized Roles/Permissions A, B
    Insert Allowed EL Expression #{jhsUserRoles['A']}
    Update Allowed EL Expression #{jhsUserRoles['A']}
    Delete Allowed EL Expression #{jhsUserRoles['A']}
    When a user with role "C' logs in they are not able to see the page. But when I include C in the Authorized Roles/Permissions like this
    Authorized Roles/Permissions A, B, C it works.
    My question is since role C is a subrole of A won't it automatically pick up that permission? Is hierarchical role structure not supported in Jheadstart?
    Thanks,
    -Sree

    Sree,
    Hierarchical role structure is not supported in Oracle's JAAS implementation, and subsequently not in JHeadstart (all we do is using the JAAS API's for this type of security).
