Using HLEVEL with multiple hierarchies

Hi all,
Is there a way to pass a parameter to the HLEVEL keyword to specifiy which hierarchy (Parent H1,H2, H3, etc.) to use when pulling the HLEVEL?
We would like to use HLEVEL for report formatting however we need the ability to choose the hiearchy.
Thanks!
Mike

Mike,
please check the answer in this other post:
EVPRO with multiple hierarchies
It's for the MS platform, but it's the same for Netweaver.
EVPRO can only retrieve the HLEVEL for the first hierarchy. You need to maintain further custom properties if you want to get the level of a member within multiple hierarchies.

  • SSM7.5 - Dimension with Multiple Hierarchies

    Hi all,
    I'm facing here one problem in the SSM front-end when I'm trying to use one the possibilities that PAS database offers, in this case the use of a dimension with multiple hierarchies.
    As you can see in this image, the dimension is created in PAS and works without problems in the dataview.
    Hierarchy one:

    Hierarchy two:
    [http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/2586/pas2.jpg]
    In the SSM front-end, when I try to use that dimension, by default appears the first hierarchy:
    [http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/4043/hier3.jpg]
    In the dimensional selector the dimension appears fine for the first hierarchy:

    But when I select the second hierarchy...
    [http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1722/hier2.jpg]
    The Internet Explorer crashes and close all the open windows. This happens in the scorecard and also in the reports.
    Is not possible to use dimensions with multiple hierarchies in SSM? Did anyone had this problem before?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Shashi,
    first of all, thanks for your answer.
    But I don't understand when you say that "we cannot have two hierarchies on the same dimensions"?!?!?
    I already have some years of experience with PAS database and it's not the first time I create a dimension with more than one hierarchy. I use also that in a productive system (before this SSM front-end) without problems. And in this latest version of PAS (version 7.5.6) it's still possible to use that feature. As you can see in my initial post, I put two screen shots of the dimension with two hierarchies in PAS dataview, and works fine, without problems in the drill-down/up.
    From PAS online help:
    HIERARCHY is a Dimension command that defines the members and levels that comprise a particular hierarchy level within a dimension. It also allows multiple consolidation structures that stem from a central root of inputs. Use hierarchies when the input members are consolidated into more than one output member. When a dimension has hierarchies, members can have more than one path for rolling up into output levels. If a dimension has only one hierarchy, no HIERARCHY statement is necessary.
    Based on this, I create my example of a dimension (named MULTI) with two hierarchies (REGION and TYPE). Maybe the name I use for the second hierarchy create some confusion to you, because of the TYPE dimension that can exist in SSM. I just hope the problem I'm having in the SSM front-end is not related with the name I used for the second hierarchy!!!!
    I will rename that and test again.

  • Using HLEVEL Property with Multiple Hierarchies

    Hello,
    I am trying to use the HLEVEL property on a dimension to indent the rows different amounts. Easy stuff, except I'm doing a row expansion on hierarchy 3 (H3).  Using EVPRO(AppName, MemberID, "HLEVEL") always returns the HLEVEL from H1.  If you select the same member ID in the member selector under different hierarchies and click the Properties button you can see a different value for HLEVEL, but I can't figure out how to get that in a report using EVPRO.
    Is there a way to tell EVPRO specifically which hierarchy to use when returning the value for HLEVEL?
    Thanks!

  • ASO Time balancing with multiple hierarchies

    Hello,
    I have an Essbase 9.3 ASO cube with multiple hierarchies in the period dimension (set as type = Time), and I'm trying to set one of my Measures to Time Balance Last with SkipMissing.
    When I validate the outline, I get:
    "This prototype must have all its shared members as siblings of previous sibling."
    on all the leaf level members in my period dimension.
    any ideas?

    We are on Essbase 9.3.0.1 and also tried to use ASO Time balance functions in conjunction with multiple hierarchies enabled.
    I recommend you not to use the ASO time balance functions. We did and had to revert everything after complaints from our user base.
    If you still use it, please test cases where you retrieve TB Last as well as flow values together with ytd and periodic values.

  • APD using Query with multiple structures as a data source

    All,
    I want to set up an automatic process which executes a query and exports it to a shared drive as a csv file. I have tried various options , when I try to use APD to set up the extract, I get an error and this is because the query that I am trying to use has Strucutres in both rows and columns. Hence, I am unable to use this option. I tried RSCRM_BAPI, It works well, but there is an issue with scheduling this in Process chain. I created an event and scheduled this as a job to trigger after "event" as per SAP instructions, but the job does not exist and it is not possible to trigger it through the Process chain unless the variables are hard coded in the query which I do not want to do.
    Can any one tell me if there is a way to deal with APD using Query with multiple structures?
    Would really appreciate if some one can give me the right solution...
    Thanks

    Hi Tanu ,
    APD is an option but its not very good with large amount of data or hiearachies or if you have attributes in you query structure .
    One more option for this requirement is use of report program using function module RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA .
    This will work fine with multiple structure etc .
    There are some overheads with this FM  ex: if amount of data is too much then program will give dump .Solution for that is we call the FM in LOOP by diving amount of data need to be fetched .ex:  we can read data quarter wise.
    For using this function module what you can do is write an ABAP program (At SE38 ) .which will call this FM and then write the output into a flat file which you can save at application server (AL11) .From there other system can read it .
    To automate this whole process you can further add all the report programs into a process chain (RSPC) which can be schedule as per requirement .
    To pass input parameters you can use variants that will pass the values to the report .
    Check thi link for sample code :

  • Drill with multiple Hierarchies

    Hi,
    I have defined multiple hierarchies in an OLAP universe (like state>region>customer>product or state>region>customer segmentation>Product or state>region>product ...) in order to use the drill functionnality in webi.
    In our scenario, each webi report should use only one hierarchy and we don't want the user to have the choice between the different hierarchies when he drills down. So is there a way to define in a webi report what hierarchy should be used?
    Thanks,
    Gabriel

    hi,
    As 'State' object is the starting point for both the Hierarchies,
    Please duplicate the state object and place it in other class. (as two objects with same name shouldn't exist in same class)
    Now edit  the second hierarchy such that new State Object will be the starting point.
    Also , please ensure that 2nd WEBI report uses new State Object in Query Pane.
    This will prevent 1st hierarchy in 2nd webi report.
    I tried this out and it's working.

  • Bug in Aggregate Persistence Wizard with multiple hierarchies

    Hi,
    Let's say you have a dimension with 2 hierarchies. In example:
    product -> subcategory -> category -> all products
    product -> subtype -> type -> all products
    Then you run the "Aggregate Persistence Wizard" and generate the code for 2 aggregations, one for each hierarchy.
    Then you execute the generated code wiithout errors.
    But no aggregate fact table is created, not inside the rpd, neither in the database.
    You only found the aggregated dimension tables (both in rpd and database), which btw generate consistency check errors due to the missing fact table.
    Workaround:
    The code generated by the Persistence Wizard contains a single "create aggregates" statement.
    Multiple aggregation are separated by commas inside the same statement.
    Instead create multiple "create aggregates" commands, one for each aggregation, each separated by a semicolon.
    OBIEE 11.1.1.5
    Hope it helps,
    Corrado

    Cosimo,
    If you've built your business model correctly with the complex joins and the dimensions relating to your fact, then the wizard will pick them up normally and will allow you to generate a script like this:
    prepare aggregates
    "ag_Fact_Budget"
    for "Core"."Fact - Budget"("Budget Amount")
    at levels ("Core"."Conformed Date"."Fiscal Year")
    using connection pool "Siebel Data Warehouse"."Data Warehouse Connection Pool"
    in "Siebel Data Warehouse"."Catalog";
    Check that your BM is consistent and sound (stars in physical and BM layer built right).
    Documentation-wise, refer to the Oracle Business Intelligence Server Administration Guide Version 10.1.3.2, page 189 f. or the Server Architect course, module 9 "Using Aggregates".

  • 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.

  • How to use OSD with Multiple DPs to remote locations

    Hi
    My SCCM 2012 R2 Primary site is located on my corporate office but i need to use OSD for multiple branch locations in different subnets.in My Organization there is network level DHCP server rather than Windows DHCP...
    What would be the complete configuration in this case .. can some one provide the steps..
    Shailendra Dev

    Hi,
    The best way to forward the PXE boot requests to the DP/PXE server is to use IP Helpers in the routers/switches. I assume that the branch locations are without a DP. You can use DHCP scope options in the DHCP servers as well but you will end up with problems
    when PXE-booting machines that run UEFI becuase it is not the same bootfile used and it is not really supported.
    Maybe standalone media could be an option where you have the most of the TS on a USB stick/Drive.

  • Windows XP Using iTunes with Multiple Identities

    Hi. I'm using Windows XP and iTunes 7. I have my music files on an external drive, but all my library files are in My Music folders. I'd like to share all the music with other users of this PC (my kids) from their own identities. I was able to import the music, but album artwork that iTunes does not have that I imported on my own does not shows up on the new identity.
    Also, I am guessing that, if I add a song with the original identity, it will not show up in iTunes with the new identity unless I add the library, folder, song, etc.
    Is there a proper way to share iTunes music on the same PC with multiple identities?
    In advance, thanks for your help.

  • Creating Training manuals using FM with multiple SME's authoring

    Greetings from Norway!
    I am currently considering switching from an InDesign/InCopy workflow over to TC2. Our manuals are heavily dependent on SME input and participation, in fact they write a good deal along with the tech writers.
    Is is possible to have SME contribution using Frame if only the techwriters actually have Frame on their workstations? I have read alot and see that if you use WebDAV you can save the Frame file as a .xml file. Can the SME's write content in an xml format and then have the tech writers import it into the long document in Frame?  If my SME's want to write a new chapter outline for me to follow, is this possible with WebDAV?
    To get 2 licenses in Norway is going to cost us $4,500, so I want to make sure that I can still have the SME input without any problems. We have been using InCopy for this purpose, but are having too many little problems and I would like to move towards Frame.
    ANY input on working with Frame with multiple authors, some of which are not using Frame on their workstations, would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi, Kathryn:
    If you're currently outputting your manuals from InDesign - whether to paper or PDF - there's probably no immediate or compelling need to convert to FrameMaker.
    You'll have the same problems with SMEs maintaining strict style usage, whether in InCopy or Word for import into InDesign or FrameMaker, and you'll have the same problems with SMEs working in FrameMaker directly, even if your company should win a FrameMaker site license in a lottery.
    Even in departments whose members are experienced technical writers, maintaining rigorous style requirements isn't automatic or easy.
    One key reason to consider the Technical Communications Suite is its ability to create help systems. A related reason is its ability to create single-source material for reuse and/or multiple outputs; FrameMaker can work with content management systems, XML, and DITA. All of these are not trivial to implement.
    RoboHelp can work with Word files, if help systems ability is important to you. FrameMaker wouldn't be necessary.
    Though InDesign can work with XML, it currently isn't suited to the kind of XML authoring that FrameMaker is. It's not easy to author for XML in InDesign or InCopy, as it is in FrameMaker, and even in FrameMaker, it's not without problems. InDesign can't do DITA.
    It might be worthwhile to create a small-scale trial in which your SMEs work in Word or InCopy, or some other application whose output maintains style names. Import that material into you InDesign templates, then analyze the problems.
    One major problem will undoubtedly be inconsistent tagging of material with proper styles. A close second will be attempts by the users to apply custom formatting (overrides) to the content, rather than using styles. Other problems include inconsistent use of lists of items, and inclusion of items in running text.
    If you can define a simple set of styles and requirements that the SMEs agree to follow, importing their material to any style-conscious application will require less manual effort.
    If the SMEs will need to revise material that the technical writers send back, you'll want to experiment with round-tripping from your publishing application via RTF or Word file format and reimporting from whatever editing application the SMEs use. If SMEs will agree to edit in Acrobat, this is one way to avoid the inevitable round-tripping artifacts, though it requires manual attention from the technical writers.
    Using a single-flow layout - "single story" in InDesign terms, "single text flow" in FrameMaker terms, rather than the kind of discontinuous graphic-designer's visual layout of pasted page objects and separate stories, will make it easier to reflow revised content. This is the usual way that FrameMaker users work. InDesign's improved long-document tools make it possible to work the same way.

  • Update firmware to use iTunes with multiple speakers

    I updated iTunes today to the new version 6.02.23 mainly because I was anxious to use the new "multiple speakers" feature. When I went to try it, though, I found no option...just My Computer and AirTunes.
    All I had to do was update the firmware on my AirPort Express. Once I had done that the multiple speaker option appeared, and it works great. Now I am listening on my computer and my wife has it on the speakers upstairs.

    Hi Friday56,
    that's exactly what I would like to do. I have itunes 6.0.4.2. installed on my pc notebook and just updated the Airport Express firmware. The result is the same as before: i can see only the remote speakers and "my computer", but no option "multiple spaekers".
