Virtual Time Hierarchy parameters

Hello
I have a few Virtual Time Hierarchies defined on our BW system.
These are automatically shown in Business Objects webi when accessing a BEx query but they always show only 1 level.
If I define one of the virtual hierarchies on my object in BEx and I set the number of levels manually this is correctly represented in Webi.
Apparently the default level setting for Virtual Time Hierarchies is level=1
Is there anywhere where this can be changed?
I would like to set the correct level of each Virtual Time Hierarchy so these are all usable in Webi instead of the 1 that was defined in the BEx query
Regards
Filip

Hello Jamie
Did you find a solution for this?
I found that it is possible if you activate the hierarchy display in the BEx query.
Then you select the virtual time hierarchy that you want to be shown
Important is to set the option "Expand to level"
Once this is done the hierarchy reflects in Webi
BUT the measures are not correctly shown if you dont have the lowest level of the hiearchy extracted as well in your webi query...
sample
YeaQuaMon
- set expand to level = 3 in BEx
- in the webi report you should also put the Month in the query (lowest level of YeaQuaMon) otherwise the aggregation is not going properly...
I've been looking for a solution on the default level of the Virtual Time hierarchies but I was not able to find...

Virtual time hierarchies

Hello BW expert!
I have problems with virtual time hierarchies. I activated a time-hierarchy related to time-characteristic 0CALMONTH (Cal. Year/Month), and to do so I had no problems.I choose the time hierarchy called 0HYEA1_QUA1_MON which starts from root "Halfyear", goes down with the child "Quarter" and finishes with leaf "Cal. Year/Month".
The problems I have is that when I try to use this hierarchy in a Bex report (I restrict characteristic OCALMONTH), the hierarchy doesn't display month value for year 2005!I mean that, for example, it doesn't display value "April 2005", but in my Infocube this value is stored!
What can I do?
Thank you very much.

There is a tab before the hierarchies - General Settings in transaction RSRHIERARCHYVIRT - increase the time interval in the top range.

OBIEE 11g Time Hierarchy with YTD function problem

Hi all,
Platform: OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0.
We have a Calendar dimension (*time dimension*), that includes the usual time hierarchy (Year > Semester > Quarter> Month > Day).
Creating a Pivot Table with a YTD measure, using also the Calendar Table hierarchy, everything works fine, and we can drill up & down always getting the right YTD values.
But, if we add to this analysis, a year and month prompts (filters), we only receive true YTD values, at the day and month levels of the hierarchy. Above this, values will sum up instead of getting the right YTD aggregated value.
YTD logical column definition = TODATE(Table A.Measure B , Hieararchy.Year)
Example of pivot values returned:
*2011*=1192812 (Sum of the 3 Semester not the YTD value)
Semester 1 = 377305 (Sum of the 4 Quarter not the YTD value)
Quarter 1= 107460 (Sum of the 3 months not the YTD value)
Jan = 18507 (YTD value)
Feb = 35223 (YTD value)
Mar = 53730 (YTD value)
Is there anything that we might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

Ricardo,
You might be aggregatign values twice either at RPD level or at reprot level. Please check on that.

Time out parameters for ABAP and JAVA instance

Hello All,
We are looking for Time out parameters for our ABAP and JAVA instances.
As users are complaining that they are getting time out error
while they are trying to access Cprojects from Portal.
I was able to check/collect the ABAP instance parameters from SMICM Tcode.
Can anybody tell me which parameters we need to look for JAVA instance.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amber S

jstart/shutdownTimeout
(jstartup/shutdown_timeout)
Specifies the shutdown timeout, i.e. the grace period for the AS Java instance to shut down before the Java process terminates itself. Unt is in Seconds. Default is 120
j2ee/ms/connectTimeout
(jstartup/wait_for_scs)
Specifies the timeout for the first connection to the message server. The AS Java instance fails to start if this timeout expires.Unt is in Seconds.Default is 60
j2ee/ms/reconnectTimeout
(jstartup/wait_for_reconnect)
Specifies the timeout for the reconnecting to the message server.The AS Java instance shuts down when this timeout expires.Unt is inSeconds.Default is 3600 (one hour)
Thanks

Time out parameters for java servers

Dear Gurus,
I'm trying to identify if there are any time out parameters/attributes which can be set for the users at Java level.
I'm wondering if it's possible to limit a user from running a report/query for a long period of time.
Or a parameter to limit the number of sessions one user can have.
The reason I'm asking this is because my java server nodes have experience OutOfMemory errors every once in a while, and this is caused by high workload by the users. I'm trying to prevent or decrease the number of these OutOfMemory errors.
Appreciate any feedback on this.
Thanks.
Regards,
Keat

Hi Mark,
Currently, parameter DefaultExpirationTime = 3600, i think this is okay.
I've located other parameters which might be related to user/system timeout settings.
HttpMonitoringCacheTimeoutMillis = 1500
KeepAliveTimeout = 15
SessionTableTimeout = -1
InputStreamAddTimeout = 0
TransactionTimeout = 0
sap.defaultMaxNumberOfConnections = 10
I'm thinking about tweaking these parameters as well.
Any comments???
Regards,
Keat

Computation based on the drilling of a time hierarchy

Hi,
I have a cube with two dimensions A, B and two measures C, D.
B is a date and I have values for each day of year.
I have a classic time hierarchy Year->Quarter->Month->Day for B and A has also some other hierarchy.
The report shows A, B where the user can drill down using the hierarchies and a computation.
The computation that I must do is: the value of C at the beggining of the period plus the sum of D in the period.
My problem is how to get the C at the beggining of the period since I do not know at runtime how far in the time hierarchy the user has drilled down.
When I know the grouping I can do something like
SUM(CASE WHEN B.day = B.Calendar Year Start Date THEN C ELSE 0 END)
or
SUM(CASE WHEN B.day = B.Calendar Month Start Date THEN C ELSE 0 END)
to calculate the value of C at the beginning of the period but i do not!
I cannot use the RANK function because it needs a PARTITION BY and I do not know how far to partition... year? month? day ?
Example data
A B C D
a 1/1/2008 5 6
a 2/1/2008 4 12
a 3/1/2008 8 4
a 1/2/2008 11 1
b 1/1/2008 2 7
b 2/1/2008 7 2
b 1/2/2008 12 31
So, if the user selects Year I sould get as result
a 2008 5 + sum(D in 2008 for a) (where 5 is the value of C for a at 1/1/2008 for a)
b 2008 2 + sum(D in 2008 for b)
If the user drills down to Month I should get
a 01/2008 5 + sum(D in 01/2008 for a) (where 5 is the value of C for a at 1/1/2008)
a 02/2008 11 + sum(D in 02/2008 for a) (where 11 is the value of C for a at 1/2/2008)
b 01/2008 2 + sum(D in 01/2008 for b) (where 2 is the value of C for a at 1/1/2008)
b 01/2008 12 + sum(D in 02/2008 for b) (where 12 is the value of C for a at 1/2/2008)
I just started building reports with Discoverer so I might be missing something. Please help!

Thank you for the information about this. I now have a chart that displays based on a value the user enters into a text box.
It looks like I have to delete a chart and then add it again, this time with the WHERE clause I would like to use. For some reason or other I have had difficulty modifying an existing chart in this way.
Thank you again.

Problem with time hierarchy

Hi gurus,
I've the following problem, i have an input schedule, that has a expansion of two dimensions in rows and the time dimension in column. I'm using the time dimension without changing it I only add more new months, years and quarters for the next years.
When in build an input schedule, the hierarchy of time doesn't work. I mean if i insert 100 in 2006.JAN and 200 in 2006.FEB.
2006.TOTAL stills empty.
But if i insert a value in 2006.DEC, this value appears in 2006.TOTAL
Any suggestions i check everything and nothing seems wrong. Colkeyrange, expansion and refresh options, time properties is some things that i checked.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Do have other schedules with similar layout? Are they working fine?
It looks like you have something wrong with your time hierarchy but check other schedules first.
Then it is easier to pinpoint the issue.
Cheers,
Madis

Last Aggregation Method not getting applied for Time hierarchy(Y, Q & M)

Hi,
OBIEE: 11.1.1.6.2
In my application there is a measure (closing balance) that we wish pick as LAST when ever we associate this measure to time hierarchy. In order to achieve this configuration we have set the Aggregation method as:
Logical Column Window > Aggregation tab > Based on Dimensions (checked) > Under Logical Dimension
Other: SUM(Measure)
Time Hierarchy: LAST(Measure)
Now what happens is that when we see this measure against the time hierarchy the the LAST value is not picked up, Example:
Time-Hierarchy:
2008
2008-Q4
Oct-2008
Nov-2008
Dec-2008
What's happening is, instead of picking the Dec-2008 value, the 2008-Q4 value is displayed as Oct-2008 value. Which means that OBIEE is sorting the months under the Quarter node in alphabetical order (D, N & O) and then picking the LAST value as 'Oct-2008'.
Kindly suggest what can be done to pick the right node value of Dec-2008.
Thanks
Prashant

Hi,
chek weather u have any data for DEC-2008 in fact table
in which level u put the week,month, year hirarchy.chckthe session query weather it is doing any filter or order by
mark helps
thanks

Hi Jairo,
try by deleting the formula on the member Q1.
Just leave the hierarchy to calculate the aggregation for the quarter.
If the months of the Q1 are calculated then use solve_order at the end of the formula, to calculate the quarter after the months.
Solve_order is explained here:

Time Hierarchy in BW

Hello Experts, I am new in BW, I have a requirement to create time hierarchy, extructure (Date, Month/Year, Year). How can I create this Hierarchy with that extructure so I can use in my Query.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
It is possible to use time hierarchy..
I am not sure but any standard hierarchy is available in BW or in Source. Check in business content but.
Else see if you can create the hierarchy manually or you can load it through flat file.
Thanks and regards

Error in uploading time hierarchy data to the cloud

I am having a trouble in updating a dataset with a time hierarchy.
I created a dataset in the local LUMIRA desktop from an excel sheet, add a time hierarchy, and tried to upload the dataset to the LUMIRA cloud. However, the system gave me an error and will not accept the data.
Could anyone having the same problem help me on how you have worked around this problem?
Thank you very much for your help and advice.
Kentaro Kawamoto

Dear Tammy,
Thank you very much for replying. Please let ma attach the screen copies.
It will be nice if you could have a glance at them and provide some feedback if I am doing wrong procedures.
The screens are copied from works in the local LUMIRA desktop.
Excel data looks like below. Year and month data are present
I created hiearchy for year and month, let system create Quarterly data.
As a sample, I created a graph for sales by month.
After composing the graph to a story, I upload the story and dataset to the cloud.
System returns error.

Weird behaviour when drilling down in time hierarchy

Hi Experts,
We have time hierarchy
year--->quarter--->month--->week--->day.
But when im drilling down from Quarter it is showing the week level and not the month level and then again if i m trying to drill down from quarter then it is showing the month.
What can be the issue here?
Regards

Hi,
just check what u have set into preferred drill path tab for Logical level quarter.

I need help regarding measurement of "time domain parameters of Heart rate variability" using labview.

I need help regarding measurement of "time domain parameters of Heart rate variability" using labview.
I am using Labview 8 ... I need to develop a software to accquire the ECG data (simulated enironment ) and compute the time domain parameters of Heart rate variability like "SDNN, SDANN...etc". Can some 1 plllzzzz help me out.Plzz help me if u can.Thanx in advance.

Hi Andy,
Thanx for responding. The input is from a text file. SDNN, SDANN,etc are the timedomain parameters of heart rate variability.
SDNN: the standard deviation of the NN or RR interval i.e. the square root of variance.
SDANN:the standard deviation of the averageNN interval calculated over short periods, usually 5 min,which is an estimate of the changes in heart rate due tocycles longer than 5 min
SDNN index, the meanof the 5-min standard deviation of the NN intervalcalculated over 24 h,
RMSSD: the square root ofthe mean squared differences of successive NN intervals
NN50: the number of interval differences of successiveNN intervals greater than 50 ms, and
pNN50 the proportionderived by dividing NN50 by the total numberof NN intervals.
The problem is dat I am a fresher to the world of Labview. I have jus recently started working on it. Can u please suggest me some some idea as soon as possible.
As i said I have the ECG data in the form of text files..I need to create sort of GUI to calculate the time domain parmeters....I need help urgently. Plzzz help me if u can. If u have and .vi example to calculate the RR interval plzz send it to me ASAP.
Thanku

Create or modify Virtual time hierarchies

I need to create a hierarchie where over the 0CALDAY with the next characteristics:
1. The start day of workdays is Friday and the last day is Thursday.
2. I try with SCAL and Virtual Time Hierarchies but not is posible in the Calendar Factory (SCAL) I can´t flag the first day to workday how Friday
3. In the Virtual Time Hierarchies, only can use standar virtual hierarchies and I can´t modify or I don´t know how to do.
you know other option?
Thanks a lot

There's also "Edit Capture Time" in the metadata window. But a lot of people in this forum are seeing buggy behavior when editing dates in LR 1.1, so I'd recommend using a different tool (exiftool, Attribute Magic, exifer) for this.
