User should drill down up to a certain level in obiee

Hi,
We have a requirement that a user should be able to drill down only up to certain level.
We have hirarchy level region, country, state and city. A user should be able to drill down all the levels and some users should be able to drill down only upto certainlevel.
I understand that there is some index column functionality for this. Apart from this can any one tell me how to restrict a user to drill down up to a certain level.
Thanks.

Hi Amith,
I understand that rowlevel security can be done in admin tool, from the group/user permissions under the filter tab by using the query with where condition.
How to achive this column level security. Can you please tell me.
Thanks.

Hierarchy drill down issue at the lowest level

Hi,
In OBIEE 11.1.1.5 I face an issue with drill down to lowest level of presentation hierarchy (expanded by "+" in report). It happens only for combination of 2 dimensions presentation hierarchies in analytics report (parent-child organizational structure + level based product categorization). Aggregated date comes from OLAP but lowest level product information comes from relational database and this details are not displayed.
First I drill to particular sales rep in organizational structure. Then for that sales rep I need to drill down product hierarchy and it works except lowest level of details. At the lowest level of product hierarchy, query sent to database (I have it from logs) return proper results (checked directly in db) but report behaves the way like there are no details at the lowest level and product details are not displayed.
Both (Organizational structure, Product) dimension presentation hierarchies works ok at all levels when used separately. Also product hierarchy works well at all levels (including OLAP->relational drill) when used togather with other level-based hierarchies in subject area.
I am wondering what I could have done wrong...
Advices are very welcome!

Hierarchy keys are set properly and "use for display" is checked.
Dimension presentation hierarchies does not work only when I use particular two hierarchies togather in one report table. When each of hierarchies is displayed separately it works ok.

Drill down report on Oracle R-Enterprise with OBIEE 11g

Greeting Guru
I see the demo that OBIEE can use the png graphic file produced by R.
Is it possible to produce drill down report that way ?
We are doing statistical analysis and we would like to do a drill down with some of our data visualization results.
Is there demo/example code ??
Thanks for the help

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/advanced-analytics/r-enterprise/ore-trng5-operatnlzgrscripts-1501640.…
The link above shows a graphic generated by R got embedded in OBIEE11g dashboard
e.g. on presentation p.42 there is a graphic of flight delays by airport. top 36 busiest airport
Is it possible that with a double clicks of JFK, it opens up another reports that is related to JFK let say group it by different airline provider of group by different flight destination for the delay reports.

Permission setting - User should not down load the file

Hi,
Can you please tell me how to prevent the users from down loading the files from portal.They should only view it.

Ok lets do it,...
First you need to identify which layout you are using for the view to end users.
This can be known from clicking the Rendering Information link on the iview.
To get Rendering Information , you need to add the admin user id to WDFProxy.
System Administration - > System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Administration - >
Content Management -> User Interface -> (Advanced Settings)Debugging Settings -> WDFProxy
You need to enable Rendering information and enter the user id of the administrator.
After identifying the layout, we need to edit the collection renderer of the layout.
At this point, if you are not using any custom layout set, I would recommend you to do an
Advanced Copy of the layout and edit the settings.
System Administration - > System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Administration - >
Content Management -> User Interface ->Settings->Layout Set
Find the layout set and select it.
Go to Collection Renderer and select the Collection List Renderer attached to it.
In the Displayed Properties remove the (contentLink) modifier for your displayname property.
Thats it

Changing the table name while drill down at the dashboard query

I have a DAY fact table that has about 1B rows.
The purpose of this table is to store on hand quantity for each item per day.
On the presentation layer I have a dashboard that will display average on hand qty per year and then user can drill down to quarter/month/week and then by day level to see the actual value at evey level.
Its hard to run aggregation on fly as all my 3 TEMP tablespace 32gb each filled and then I get error can not extent TEMP file.
So I thought I will do the aggregation at the database level and store the aggregated data in another table. So at first dashborad will read this new aggregated table to display qty at yearly. As soon as user drill down to quarter the dashbord should query the actual DAY fact table by filtering for specific year and quarter.
IS it possible? Can I change the table name while I drill down to lower level?
Thanks in advance.

Hi use,
Yes. This is possible in OBIEE. You need to use Action Links to have navigation between reports. The main idea is to have 2 analysis. One with your aggregated data by year (using your aggregated table), and another one with the rest of the hierarchy and data (using normal fact table)
You add an action link on this report, that can navigate to the second report. showing "the details" (in your case would be the rest of the time dimension).
Please refer to http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-action-framework-and-conditions/ for actions links.
Another way is to create 2 analysis, then go to the 2nd analysis, and filter the column year as "Is based on results of other analysis" and you select there the first analysis. In this case when you click on the year in the first analysis, this value will be passed to the second analysis so you can filter the rest of the hierarchy based on the year you clicked on the first analysis.
If helpful, assign points.

Need help with Group Headings and showing them on drill down.

Hi all:
I think this is a simple question and feel that I should already know the answer but for some reason it eludes me. What I would like to know is the proper way to hide/display group headings and have them show up on drill down BUT not repeat on each group header.
What I have for grouping is as follows:
Group Header #1 u2013 Sales Rep
Group Header #2 u2013 Customer
    Group Header #3 u2013 Product Class
      Group Header #4 u2013 Stock Code
        Details
      Group Footer #4 u2013 summary calculated on this line
    Group Footer #3 u2013 summary calculated on this line
Group Footer #2 u2013 summary calculated on this line
Group Footer #1 u2013 summary calculated on this line
My goal is to have my report show only the lines listed below by default and allow the user to drill down group by group to the details section:
Group Header #1 u2013 Sales Rep
Group Footer #2 u2013 summary calculated on this line
Group Footer #1 u2013 summary calculated on this line
If anyone could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
FatMan

click section expert, then for example of GH3, highlight it, then click on the formula box for suppression, and put in the code....
Drilldowngrouplevel < 3
The result will be that this GH3 is suppressed whenever the report is showing GH1 and 2 but not 3.
In addition to this, you must Hide(Drill-down ok) GH3. This is also done in the section expert.
Then just do the same for GF3, and for GH4/GF4 make sure you use...
Drilldowngrouplevel < 4

Drill down (navigation) to a "hided" report

I have built a report with a navigation on a column to another report... Everything is fine and running.
Trouble is that the user see both reports in the report list (shared list). Pls.. is there a way to "hide" the detailed report from a direct call from the user... so that it is reached just by navigation from the 1st. report ?
Txs. a lot for your help.
Antonio

There is no way that I know to hide it. But I would suggest create another folder and put the detail report in that folder. Ask the business user to drill down to the report that you think the user should click on or the one that has the navigation

Count Invoices without Invoice Drill-Down

I have a requirement to count the number of invoices by posting period and vendor, for invoices that are less than a certain amount (say $500). I intend to get this data from the standard AP line item cube. Seems like it should be simple.
I can do this as long as I list each invoice (reference) in the workbook, and activate an exception. However, there are enough invoices to run out of rows in Excel.
How can I do the count, and only display the subtotals by period and vendor, and the total for the entire time frame?
I tried displaying the Posting Period, Vendor and Reference as a Hierarchy and then setting the expansion level to Vendor, but the 'Calculate Results as' is not invoked with the <$500 Condition activated.
I also tried using a formula variable, replacement path on the reference:
Variable defined as follows:
Type: Formula
Variable Name: ZFA0REFD
Description: Ref. Doc. No. Repl. Path
Processing by: Replacement Path
Characteristic: Reference (0REF_DOC_NO)
Replace Variable With: Attribute Value
Attribute: Characteristic Reference (Constant 1)
For Intervals Use: From Value
Offset Start & Offset Length: left blank
Evaluate as "Boolean" (Value 0 or 1) not selected
Variable used in formula (local to query) to count non-zero amounts less than $500, formula syntax as follows:
( 'Credit amt in LC < 500 ) * ( 'Credit amt in LC <> 0 ) * 'Ref. Doc. No. Repl. Path'
Using the logic as described above, I get correct counts only if I have drill-down to the Reference (0REF_DOC_NO) level.
If I remove the drill-down to the Reference (0REF_DOC_NO) level, leaving rows only for Fiscal Period (0FISCPER) and Vendor (0CREDITOR), then the evaluation on amounts <> 0 and <500 is done at the Vendor (0CREDITOR) level, not at the Reference (0REF_DOC_NO) level.
I have also tried counting with the drilldown by reference number, with a Condition applied, with no suppression of repeated key values, and with no supression of result rows. I was able to then apply Excel Auto Filter to the entire results area, selecting only the rows with "Result" of blank in the Reference characteristic column. This way only the sub-total and total rows appear in the spreadsheet.
I still have problems though with running out of rows in Excel (we process more than 70,000 invoices per month).
Please advise if any of you can think of a better solution that will work. I need to do this in a query -- I cannot modify the infocube.
I did do a forum search, and all I could find is how to add a count calculated key figure to the infocube. I need to do this at the query level.
Any clues will be much appreciated. (BW3.5 SP15 BEx deployment only - no web).

One of the 3rd-party Crystal Report viewers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality (but it requires you add some formulas to the report to enable that behavior).
You can see a video demonstration at: [In-Place Drill Down|http://www.milletsoftware.com/Download/DLV_InPlace_DrillDown.wmv]

Presentation Services crash on Drill Down in a report

Hi,
We are using Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition v10.1.3.4 running on a Windows 2003 server. The underlying database is an instance of Oracle OLAP 11g v11.1.0.6.0.
It has been noticed that for some of our reports, when we click on a data item which is a hyperlink (member of a hierarchy in the underlying OLAP cube), then it is expected that the report should drill down to show the children of the element being clicked on. For some of these elements, the number of children in the drill down is potentially larger than any 'normal' element. A click (drill down) on such an element results in the following error message being recorded in the NQServer.log and the Presentation Services crash at the same time.
*[nQSError: 12002] Socket communication error at call=recv: (Number=10054) An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.*
It seems that at this point in time the report is hitting some threshold of the application (like CubeMaxRecords or CubeMaxPopulatedCells). We have not yet changed the defaults for any of the parameters in the instanceconfig.xml file since some users claim that increasing the limits for the default parameters result in a performance hit.
Any thoughts on overcoming this problem scenario are highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Piyush

Problem creating Drill-Down report

Hi,
I have problem in creating a drill-down report,got confused how to do it. this is my requirement.
The main portion that will be first displayed contains a group on match_code and has its own detail section. now when the user selects one of these match_code it should drill down to give more information about this match_code, so the Drill down should also have its own detail section that will be hide and drilldown ok.
If this the proper way to do it. I will be creating a drill down report for the first time.
Thanks,
Reena

Hello Reena,
If I understand your situation correctly you have a group on match_code and a details and b section. You want the Group Header and Details a sections to appear on the first "page" or drilldowngrouplevel 0. When the user drills down you want the Details b section to appear.
You can do that using the drilldowngrouplevel function.
Set the details b section to suppress when drilldowngrouplevel = 0, this section will only appear after drilldown.
I am not sure if you still want the details a or group sections to appear after drilldown, if you do then there is no need for conditional suppression. If you don't then use a conditional suppression formula for those sections of drilldowngrouplevel <> 0

Dynamic hierarchy-level entering dashboard & drill-down

Hi there,
I have a requirement to create a report which, depending on the user that opens the report, needs to start at a specific level within an organisation hierarchy. Once the user has opened the report (which will be part of a dashboard), he should be able to drill-down the organisation hierarchy from his entry-point down. I've been able to create that report but when drilling-down it doesn't quite work. No matter at which level a user opens the report, when drilling it will drill-down immediately to the lowest level of the hierarchy, skipping (= not showing) intermediate levels.
Here are the details:
Organization hierarchy:
- Org_Level_0
- Org_Level_1
- Org_Level_2
- Org_Level_3
- Org_Level_4
- Org_Level_5
- Org_Level_6
- Org_Level_7
- Org_Level_8
Using an InitBlock each user is assigned it's a session variable ENTRY_LEVEL which contains the user's organization hierarchy level (i.e. '5'). For Testuser5 the session variable contains '5'.
I've created the report containing two columns:
- A dimension column called 'Organization'
- A measure column called 'Availability%'
In the dimension column I've entered the following formula:
CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='0' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_0"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='1' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_1"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='2' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_2"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='3' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_3"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='4' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_4"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='5' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_5"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='6' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_6"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='7' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_7"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='8' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_8"
END END END END END END END END END
In the Column properties/Column Format tab for the dimension column I've disabled Column Heading Interaction but I've set Value Interaction to 'Drill'.
When opening the report as Testuser5, the Dimension column shows the correct dimension object from that user: Org_Level_5. However when then clicking on the dimensionvalue, the next dimension displayed is Org_Level_8, instead of Org_level_6.
Any suggestion on how to obtain the desired result?
Thanks!
Edited by: The_Dutchman on Oct 7, 2009 5:31 PM

Check in the RPD in the BMM in the dimension wheater all levels have a key that is set to use for drill down. It seems that only Org_Level_8 (the last level, detail) has key - use for drill down checked. This allow columns on the level to be displayed when driiling from up level to the current one. So maybe this is a reason that you get only Org_Level_8 data when driiling from any level from the case statement.

Hyperlink on fields to be enabled only after drilling down

Hello,
I am facing a issue with drill down on OBIEE 10g. The issue is as below:
We have a geography hierarchy - Theater -> country -> state -> city.
Summary report for Orders will have the total $ value for the entire month. The summary report starts from the theater level and user can drill down to the city level Total $.
User wants a hyperlink on the total$. When user clicks on the $ value it should take the user to a detail report, that will show the individual orders that make up the total $.
But the User wants the hyperlink to be enabled only when he has drilled down to the city level.
Is there a way to achieve this? Please let me know.
Thanks
Vin

Hey,
there is a way to achieve that but it's not pretty instead of drill down create four reports top report only theater and total second theater,country and total third report theater,country,state and total and the final report all the 4 and total and keep navigate option on each reports in the final report hyper link total if the user is ok with this way try it.

How to drill down another one report on one field value of one row

Hi,
I have two reports that can link together on one field of respective database query command. The effect i want to reach is that when user clicks this field value on some row of one report, which i call source object, another report, target object, would use this value as input parameter and the page would jump to this linked report. I can see Format Editor provides Hyperlink feature when one field is edited, but i don't know how to associate another report as what i described here.
What if one the following conditions is met:
1.one of two objects, source object, is one chart object
2.target object is one chart object
3.two objects are both chart objects
Note: two objects is separately from different reports.
Additionally, is it possible to code for hyperlink functionality under both .NET WinForm and WebForm? what if under RDC?
Thank you
Zhi

I don't know if you can use the hyperlink to call a subreport but the following has worked for me in Crystal 10:
1. In your main report create a group on the field you want to pass to the subreport.
2. In the Group Footer, use the "Insert Section below" menu command so that you have a Group Footer 1a and a Group Footer 1b.
3. Put your table fields in the Group Footer 1b section (this would be similar to your Details data).
4. Put the sub report in the Group Footer 1a section. Set up the links to the subreport from a table field in your main report.
5. Right-click on the sub-report, select "Format Sub-report". Click on the "x-2" button to the right of the Suppress option and enter "DrillDownGroupLevel = 0" in the "Formula Workshop-Formula Format Editor-Suppress" window and save it.
When you double-click on your data field (i.e. the field in Group footer 1b) it should drill-down and run your subreport.

Drill down on Hierarchy with Text and Key

Hello Experts,
I have created WebI report on top of Bex Query. I have hierarchy, by default report will show Level1 for hierarchy and then User can drill down to lower levels, but I want to show Key for that hierarchy as well next to hierarchy.
For Example
Profit Center Hierarchy Level 1 (Name) Profit Center Hierarchy Level 1(Key)
If I drill down on Level 2 for Profit Center Hierarchy Name, Profit Center Hier with Key is not changing to Level 2, it is still showing Level 1. I want Key to change dynamically with Name.
If I drill on Level 3 with Name then Key also should change to Level3.
Any ideas???

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your reply. If I combine two objects in one objects then I cannot use that object for drill down in my report.
I want to drill down for both Key and Text.

Drill down ( Collapsible Row ) Report in BEx query designer ?

Dear Friends!
I am supoosed to create a report drill down report for Purchasing History to be precise, I know that we can have drill down feature using heirarchy but is it possible for Us to have PO & PO item heirarachy ? or any other way to do drill down reporting in SAP BEx Query designer ?
like my current report is : -
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
Now I am supposed to create a report in which
normal view
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | |> PO Number| .... ( keyfigures) | Payment |
drill down or collapsible view ( please consider the heading as data I am not talking about dynamically change of headings ).
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | V PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
is there anyway to design the report in above mention manner ? you any input will be appreciated greatly.
Thank you so much!
Regards
Naim

Hi Naim,
usually we don't do the transactional data as hierarchy. not sure the reason behind your requirement.
we can do one of the below :-
1. To have the default view as
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | | PO Number| .( keyfigures) | Payment |
and then user can drill down on rest of the characteristics for detailed view later on.
2. or if they don't want to drill down on characteristics;-
we can build 2 reports , one for header level information and then jump to second query for detailed information(item level) using RRI.
first query:
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | | PO Number| .( keyfigures) | Payment |
second query:
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
Let us know if this works out?
Regards,
Sakthi.
