Weird behaviour of OBIEE 11g hierarchy columns

Hi,
I'm facing this weird issue when i implement the OBIEE 11g new feature called hierarchy column.The issue is that the last value in the hierarchy is reporting
Example
Store Heir-achy
->Store Country
->Store City
->Store name
->Store Name
->Store name (And the level goes on and on).
I don't know why this weird thing is happening.Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunny.

Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour. IN regards to the Logical Dimension, yes it is set with two LTS with the applicable content levels set. I even tried that as just 1 LTS doing the join through the General tab. Still the same behaviour with the drill-down. I am assuming it will always go through the full drill path regardless of what level the Fact you are hitting is at.

Obiee 11g hierarchy columns download into csv format.

When using hierarchical columns, Is there a way to download the results as the user see it on the view (be it table or pivot view) into a CSV format.
Excel format works, but if the user drill down on the hierarchy column and then export in CSV format... the data gets exported to the level the report was originally set.
Is there any way to change this behavior?
One option we can recommend to users is to download in excel format and then convert to CSV....if needed.
FYI, we just starting looking into 11g 11.1.1.5 version... planning to migrate from 10g to 11g...
Thanks

OBIEE-11g Double columns question

Hi guys, on my pc i've installed business intelligence suite 11.1.3 and now I need support about double columns feature. In the business model I've this hierarchy
Region -> Province -> Municipality
where the keys for each level are represented by the name of the element, the problem is that this keys are used to map geometric shapes to enable the map views features and the Municipality values are ambiguous in their domain (could exist two municipality with the same name but different province) in the official documentation is wrote that to unique identify a shape should be used a double columns field but when I 'apply the double field feature to the hierarchy levels the drill feature doesn't work properly and I get a strange filter error (seems that the system filter the value by id on the wrong field). Somebody could help me to understand if I can define a hierarchy where the keys have a descriptor id associated ?
Thanks a lot Regards

I 've also come up with the same issue. I am using OBIEE 11G (11.1.1.5.0) and Oracle Mapviewer Ver11_1_1_4_B110225.
On the RPD, My hierarchy is defined as: District -> Quarter -> Neighbourhood.
For each hierarchy level I am using:
District Logical Level keys:
District Id: Primary Key
District Name: Use for Display
Quarter Logical Level Keys:
Quarter Id: Primary Key
Quarter Name: Use for Display
Neighbourhood Logical Level Keys:
Neighbourhood Id: Primary Key
Neighbourhood Name: Use for Display
I need to associate each Mapviewer theme's ID (District ID, Quarter ID, Neighbourhood ID) with a relevant BI column, because the theme names are not distinct.
I have set the double column (Descriptor Id) feature: (District ID, Quarter ID, Neighbourhood ID) on each BI name column (BI Distict Name, BI Quarter Name, BI
Neighbourhood Name) of the business model and associated the layer key (ID) of each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI name column.
On the map view, drilling down from District to Quarter works properly, but I get the following action error while drilling down from quarter to neighbourhood:
An error occurred while trying to generate drill down query.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError:
46036] Internal Assertion: Condition rowValues.size() == numColumns, file server\Query\Src\SQNavigatorAccess.cpp, line 495. (HY000)
SQL Issued: {CALL NQSGenerateDrillDownQuery('SELECT District Name saw_0, Quarter Name saw_1, DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(District Name) saw_2, DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(Quarter Name)
saw_3 FROM "Subject Area" WHERE DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(District) = 5','1','''5'',''31'',31','-1 -1 -1 -1 -1','0,2,3')}
However, if I add a table view on my analysis and click on the table view's quarter link, drilling down works ok both for the table and for the map view.
Moreover, I tried removing the double column (descriptor Id) feature from the business model while maintaining the hierarchy as described above.
I then associated the layer key (ID) of each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI ID column instead of the BI name column.
On the map view while drilling down from District to Quarter, a filter to a specific District is applied, but the associated Quarters theme is not displayed.
Finally, if I enable the "Use for Display" checkbox for each hierarchy level's primary key on the RPD, and maintain the association between the layer key (ID) of
each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI ID column, drilling down works correctly but only on the ID.
I need drilling down to work while clicking on the each name BI column of the hierarchy while defining the association on the layer key ID of each mapviewer
theme. Is this possible? Any ideas?

OBIEE 11g hierarchy drilldown custom headings

In an OBIEE 11g report, have a column which is in a hierarchy. Can use the properties and change that column heading from "Level 3" to more descriptive name in the Criteria.
When report is opened/run and that column is clicked, the next column is labelled "Level 2" and then "Level 1".
Because what is in the levels depends on what else is connected, cannot hardcode the text in the rpd.
If the Level 2 and Level 1 columns are pulled into the Criteria and either hidden or not put in the Results, the drilldown is removed from the Level 3 column.
How can the drilldown columns' headings be customized, changed for that report?

Try using Presentation variables, if the column is formatted in the reports.

OBIEE 11g - Hierarchy

Hi,
My client is on OBIEE 11g. Is it possible to create a tree-like structure (as shown below) from a hierarchy in the prompt?
TestPrompt should show following
Org Level1
------Org Level2a
------------Org Level3a
------------------Org Level4a
--------Org Level2b
--------------Org Level3b
--------------------Org Level4b
Will appreciate your inputs.

I was able to achieve this by dragging the hierarchy from the presentation table into the request and then created a prompt on it. The values in the hierarchy display fine in the prompt selection box - like a tree. But, once you pick a value from that tree it doesn't seem to apply that as a filter. Has anybody else come across this?
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g: Hierarchy Drills & Graph Scales

Hi eveyrone,
I have a time-series graph with dates along the x-axis and my measure value along the y-axis.
In the "Sections" portion of the graph I have a node based hierarchy.
I have 4 columns in the report.
Presentation hierarchy (node based hierarchy), Hierarchy Dimension column (regular FK link to the hierarchy dimension but not a presentation hierarchy), Date, SUM( Metric by hierarchy dimension column)
In the graph, I create a line scale marker and set it to be based on my one measure column. I also graph my one measure column.
In therory, since I'm graphing the EXACT same column that the scale marker is tied to, they should ALWAYS appear to overlay. And in fact they do at the first level of the hierarchy.
But when I drill into the hierarchy, the measure column changes, but the scale marker does not.
Why does this happen?
It is the exact same column so they should always be the same value. It's a pretty frustrating bug because as you drill, the scale of the measure changes but the scale of marker does not, so it's basically like you're viewing a flat line because the y-axis is too far off from the actual column measure to see any trend.
Has anyone seen this?

Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour. IN regards to the Logical Dimension, yes it is set with two LTS with the applicable content levels set. I even tried that as just 1 LTS doing the join through the General tab. Still the same behaviour with the drill-down. I am assuming it will always go through the full drill path regardless of what level the Fact you are hitting is at.

OBIEE 11g Hierarchy and Fact interaction

I have an issue where I don't know if OBIEE functionality will allow for the behaviour requested. I have 2 Fact tables, one at the Date grain and one at the Date Time grain (Hours and Minutes).
We have two Physical dimension tables (Time and Date). The Date snowflakes off the Time. My intention was to create one Logical Dimension (Date Time) and set up the appropriate Levels (Year | Month | Day | Hour | Minute).
The Logical Layer consists of two Logical Facts, each with one LTS. And the one Time Date Dimension. The LTS for the Fact at the Date grain has its Content Level set to Day. The LTS for the Fact at the Date Time grain has its Content Level set to Minute.
The behaviour I am seeing is that when a user runs an Ad-hoc request and selects, lets say Year, Month, Metric from Date grain fact. The default behaviour allows them to drill down from the Month to the Day, which is expected. What wasn't expected was that the default drill-down is still active on the Day column in this request. When the user drills into the Day column it returns the Hours with the metric now NULL. I would expect the metric being NULL as this Fact isn't at this level. What I wasn't expecting was the tool allowing the user to be able to drill past the Day when the Fact being hit has it's Content Level set to Day.
I am missing something here or is this the expected behaviour?

OBIEE 11G - Double column (Descriptor Id)

Hello All,
I have a problem in implementing Descriptor ID functionality. I have a time dimension, for which i am using Year, Period Name and Period Number.
I have placed Period Number as Period Name ID column and in the report i am using the period Number to be filtered out. I created a dashboard prompt with Year and Period with limit values on Period Name.
After selecting the year, when i select the period, its getting the months only for that selected year, its fine. once I click on apply, the period prompt is changing to another value but report filtering is fine.
for Ex: Selected Year is 2012 and for that i got all the periods from Jan-12 to Dec -12. When i Select Mar-12 and click on Apply, the report is filtering for Mar-12 but, I prompt value is changed to Mar-14 (why 14 is because i have records in time dimension till 2014) .
I verified the log, and see that... year is not passing for period as i have year and period filters report is fine. but after population
SELECT DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("<table>"."Fiscal Period") saw_0, "Time"."Fiscal Period" saw_1 FROM "<Subject Area>" WHERE DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("<SA>"."Time"."Fiscal Period") = 8 ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
I am using OBI 11.1.1.5 version
Any help is gr8ly appreciated..
Thanks in Advance...

KN

Hi,
Did you enabled check box on your perod prompt and select “Enable user to select by Code Column”
Note: filter option will not work in case of Operator other than is equal/not equal/between

OBIEE 11g Hierarchy expanding issue

Hi Experts,
I have an Analysis report which I display hierarchy and I have many reports which contain hierarchy.
But I have a specific report which only expand up to 1 level only unlike my other Analysis reports which display the hierarchy up to the last level.
This report that only expand up to 1 level have many records (about 1.5K).
Can you help me fix/resolve this issue about the hierarchy
My OBIEE version is: 11.1.1.6 (11.1.1.6.0.120104.0152.000 to be exact).
My hierarchy is properly displayed in other reports but one of my reports, the hierarchy is not displaying well.
SCENARIO:
all reports have same hierarchy fields to be displayed:
report 1 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 2 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 3 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 4 (displays more than 1000 records) - not working
Thanks,

Issue with OBIEE 11g measure columns

Hi,
Recently one of our application got migrated from 10 to 11g. post migration we had patched 6.1 and 6.2.
measure column defined in RPD were working fine in 10g and 11g(after patching) as well. Suddenly all measure columns are behaving abnormal.
Even though the measures are defined at particular level, the values are getting summed up and displaying the same for each and every dimension entity.
Simply bifurcation is not happening according to the dimension in all the reports.
c1 c2 c3
a x 2
b y 2
c z 2
Any guess?
Warm Regards

Check the physical query for group by clause cols, and check for those columns levels.

OBIEE 11g Calculated column problem

Hi Gurus,
I want to convert to below condition to obiee.
Database Condition like below:
ZEROIFNULL(CAST((CAST(COUNT(CASE WHEN END_output<=.033 and END_output>='-.117' THEN END_output END) AS FLOAT)/
CAST(NULLIFZERO (COUNT(In_PUT)) AS FLOAT)) AS DECIMAL(10,1)))*100 AS Real_Time
In Database output is = 48
I have converted to OBIEE like below.
IFNULL( CAST ( COUNT(CASE WHEN "- Order Fact"."END_output" <= .033 and "- Order Fact"."END_output" >='-.117' THEN "- Order Fact"."END_output" END) AS FLOAT ), 0) / CAST(IFNULL (COUNT("- Sales Fact"."In_PUT"),0) AS FLOAT ) *100
In OBIEE output is = 45
Note: I am getting two or three count difference in OBIEE.
I guess the problems is Decimal, how to apply decimal in obiee like (DECIMAL(10,1)))..
Please help on this.
Thanks

OBIEE 11g: Freeze Column Headers?

Hello experts,
I am still new to 11.1.17 and my boss wants me to have the report’s panes frozen, just like in excel. Does anyone if there is an easy way to do this besides going through the instanceconfig.xml? Just through analysis
I was thinking from 11.1.1.6 may be things have improved. Anyone with a full step by step instructions?
Will surely appreciate the help

If that is the case you can follow 10g style of paging in table view to achieve both

Peoplesoft Trees as Hierarchial Columns in OBIEE 11g

Sorry for a duplicate posting. Logged in as a normal user with random number. I know how much people hate it. Logged in as myself now.
Hi,
I have extensively searched using Google or 11g docs but could not find a proper solution to using Peoplesoft trees in form of hierarchial columns in obiee 11g. Can the rpd of obiee 11g be designed to view the Peoplesoft tree structure( as it is in Tree manager in Pplsoft) as hierachial columns in obiee 11g? I am sure hierarchial columns as a 11g feature are not just for visual representation in tree format but also can be viewed in Answers and queried against it,am I right?
Anybody who has worked on trees and OBIEE 11g hierarchial columns? Ahsan/Navin??
Thanks,
Dan

I have not used the 11g hierarchical columns for PSoft Trees but I can think of a glaring reason NOT to do this..PERFORMANCE. If I understand correctly, 11g issues a group by and Union as you traverse this type of structure and PeopleSoft trees have a number of tables to represent the actual TREE. I cannot possibly see how this can be effective especially with a large scale BI Apps DW? This is part of the reason the trees get flattened out via the OOTB ETL adaptors for PSoft.

Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

Hi,
I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
Thanks.

By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

OBIEE 11g - Navigation from Hierarchy Column

Hi Experts,
I have created one Organization Hierarchy (Country --> Region --> State --> City) in the Logical Layer of the rpd and pull that hierarchy with the dimension in the Presentation Layer. In the new analysis I have created dashboard prompt with the Organization hierarchy and created a report showing Total Headcount column and Organization Hierarchy column (using selection steps feature in OBIEE 11g).
Now when I select Region from the dashboard prompt, in the report it is showing me total headcount according to my region selected in the prompt, but when I tried to navigate from the Total Headcount to see the list of employees in that particular region, I am not able to see the list of employees belonging that particular region rather it is showing me the list of total employees at the Country level.
PS - In the navigation report I am prompting Country, Region, State and City from the Organization dimension, but I am not able to prompt Country, Region, State and City from the hierarchy column which is there in the Organization dimension.
Please Help.

Hi,
You need to create the drill down report also using selection steps. I tried the drill down was working fine.
Thanks
