Pierce in OBIEE

Hi, I set to 6 levels dimension hierarchy in the repository of a table.

I have a flat table in the database that represents the hierarchy and who is as below:

some levels have none, and some have. the maximum levels is five, let.
When a level has no sup level, there is a value zero in the field.

the top 5 of most and level being the lowest level is level 1. as below:

http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/2531/29116555.jpg





I have a table, where I have the employee name, employee number. I joined these two tables and

I did a dimension hierarchy combining these two tables.
In the report, I must see, employee details as child to the last existing level.
So, I've included the name used as detail for this hierarchy.

Now my problem is,
Is no overtime at particular level level, noted as null in the table, so I should see the name used after this level.

In other words, when a level is finished and has no more additional levels, it should display the name used as the level of the child and followed by the value of measure for that.

For example, in the report, I must see it as:

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/5760/43637216.jpg





When I drill A, he should show me levels a, b, c and d, empname

When I click again on c, since c has no sup level, he must retrieve the name used as exploration down.

I hope I am clear. I am not able to implement

Please help me.

Your describing a ragged hierarchy that is not natively supported in OBIEE 10 G

Your options:

(1) Flatten the hierarchy within your ETL process, your 2 'c' level could be filled completely to the bottom of the hierarchy, treat any big really, just more columns in the report until you get on the employee's behalf + number or what you have on your detail / the leaf level.

(2) use a function nvl() everything that sustains your the source db and return a 'no child' or literal string of similar value, at least people will know they have hit the bottom of the actual data (level 2 in this case) and are now Pierce at the level of detail. You could get clever and use instruction box on the value and offer a form of GOURL another report to stop the drilling (but it will not break up on the dashboard, there will be a new window)

(3) 11 G is out since yesterday, I think that this supports unbalanced hierarchies now it does not work? I have not had a good play again, my colleague has been beta-testing, but some of us are to charge the good days ;-)

  • Operation "Pierce" in OBIEE

    Hello

    Can someone let me know how the "Drill Through" operation works in OBIEE?

    Kind regards
    Jitendra

    Thank you for the invitation.
    The following options of drilling:

    1 - drill Down: when we are at a higher level of aggregation and want to go to a lower level within the same size. Time dimension ex: year quarter-monthly...
    2 - drill UP: when we are at a lower level of aggregation and want to go further in the same size. Time dimension ex: trimenstre for months to years.
    3-drill through: when we are at a lower level of aggregation and want to go to a minor or vice versa, in different environments. Ex Dimenao time: quarter of the year in a Data Mart for Essbase Dimension at the time: month in a DW in a relational database.
    4 extract: when we're at a level of aggregation within a dimension of this level and go to the other in another dimension. Ex the dimension product: name of the product to the Customer Dimension: name of the client, or you want to know what products or those that customers have purchased.

    If you need an example of use of OBIEEe, send an email which will answer containing the repository I created on extract.

    Thanks again and I'll be available for any questions!

  • OBIEE - navigate to "Pierce" effect

    Hello


    I have developed on OBIEE for a month now and have written that some reports with navigate a dashboard in order to coordinate the multiple reports on another page of dashboard.

    It works very powerfully, simply by putting filters 'invite' on all the fields of the target report and for the navigate to the dashboard page - not a single nice - very nice - report - impressed - love it!


    BUT -I was not able to reproduce this when trying to achieve the same effect with linked folders, based on tables, with the same field names and data values - when I want to move from one reports based on folder has another report, based on the folder B - works to navigate, but the content of the report is the complete set of data not limited by the "prompt" filter and the value one clicked to start the navigation.

    Is there a trick to this, can anyone help please?



    Thank you

    Robert.

    Know that OBIEE is primarily a BI tool - not a forms 9i, Java swing or equivalent same asp.net (sorry!)-, but the solution only includes features of publication (postback) standard - and I've seen dealing with XML for easy insertion and put messages updated to allow a simple web form style feature.

    Yeap it's writeback I mention. You can build things around him, but Oracle says explicitly that there are very limited ways: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31766.pdf (page 93f).
    So, you're dead on your judgment ("post in a field of comment or a similar feature"). Regarding the "sophisticated data entry" for me, the question arises: why would you do the data entry sophisticated in an analysis-oriented database? Forecasting and planning tasks, there are applications purpose-built from the Hyperion product stack.

    In all cases, you should monitor and keep the distinctions between 'normal' analysis of data and that you write in the clear. Users normally get confused with the analyses that pull data from sources of refresh cycles for example.

    provide style budget reports to users

    Now you're in territory Hyperion Planning: http://www.oracle.com/appserver/business-intelligence/hyperion-financial-performance-management/hyperion-planning.html

    tell you what I have described is beyond the scope of the intended OBIEEs feature?

    Usual answer: "it depends." Of course, you can do OBIEE do all this. The question is: is this really the right tool to do? It is worth the effort and hassle? Wouldn't be easier, cheaper and more advantageous for the company just to buy an app that is specifically designed for this and therefore offers you 100 times the functionality that you can build in the time it takes to implement a standard set?
    Therefore, as always... make or buy. Just keep in mind that if you choose a standalone application he won't say that the link with your Analytics data is lost... OBIE can simply connect to what it is and still represent consolidated reports between the systems.

    See you soon,.

  • Flatened Hirarchy in obiee

    Hello

    more info about flattend hirarchy, what one needs. What is the concept behind this


    Thank you

    Stabilization of a hierarchy is to repeat the value of the absolute of the lowest level, up to the level of the leaves.

    So if I have 5 levels max, I might have two nodes in the hierarchy that resemble:

    A-> B-> C-> D-> E
    X-> ARE-> Z-> Z-> Z

    If Z is 'flattened' so you can guarantee 5 levels to Pierce. Its more about a minor deficit OBIEE who would not break you into a null value if the value 'Z' ended at level 3 in my example above

    Hi G_N_P_HL,

    1. did you other changes on the computer?

    2. when the problem occur?

    3. when and how does the ear piercing rumbling stops?

    First, make sure you don't have any programs or applications or in the course of performance when the problem occurs.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Thanks in advance!





    Hello Vinay,

    You can't use template security BI Publisher when the BEEP is integrated with OBIEE. You must use the Oracle Fusion Middleware security model in this case because OBIEE manages access. Security model BI Publisher can be used when you use a Simple installation, no installation of the company.

  • Essbase Calculated Member retreival OBIEE reporting takes time

    Hello

    My OBIEE version is 11.1.1.7.0 years have a cube ASO in Essbase 11.1.2 as my source.

    There is a calculated member ASO which retreival in reports is time consuming.

    Optimization measures proposed to reduce the wait times in OBIEE.

    PS - We have integration Hyperion OBIEE in place already.

    The heads-up on the improvement of the performance would be a great help.

    Thank you

    Hello Sam,.

    OBIEE has many ways optimized:

    1. you can use the OBIEE cache management, hitting the first time the ESSBASE CUBE and the second time the OBIEE hit the cache, it improve your processing time.

    2. in your maybe views that you have limited the main information, I mean, OBIEE is a web application bi and if you try to pretend to get a lot of lines, this might give you some problems, as a work around you could limit your opinion, in your 'LINES PER PAGE' properties, and as a work around if you want to get a large amount of data that you download it.

    2. If points 1 and 2 shall not apply to your needs, perhaps to think, to use the cache of essbase optimization

  • Connect OBIEE Admintool to hive: problems with ODBC. Any option?

    We are facing a blocking problem when you try to connect to an instance of hive Admintool using an ODBC driver.

    For a CEP, we are trying to set up a domain of hive to analyze in OBIEE. Everything seems to work OK

    until we try to load the metadata. In this case, the schema is found but not table under him. We can add the

    Physics of table by hand, and then we can successfully launch the number of lines. We then try to load the lines, but to

    the point that we have faced a strange behavior. But summarize the steps we have taken.

    (1) we downloaded ODBC drivers to connect to the hive (we tried with Hortonworks, Cloudera, Microsoft and)

    MapR, but the results are the same);

    (2) we have set up the connection to the hive on port 10000 and successfully run the ODBC test (BTW: to)

    SQLDeveloper we can connect to the same server via the JDBC driver and query the tables here);

    (3) then we start Admintool. Once we have defined the name and the password, we then select the ODBC connection.

    in fact there aren't strictly necessary user name and password, but we offer them anyway;

    (4) the next step is to load the metadata; and here is the first issue, because we can see the patterns but not

    the tables.

    Connection_OBIEE_BigData.PNG

    (5) anyway we are going on and insert a schema (we read there could be problems with more than one schema, then)

    We simply select one); in a blog (by Rittman, who really is 'THE' guru OBIEE) it is said that the tables are not

    loading directly, so we tried simply adding a physical table in the physical layer as the default schema.

    making sure the table exists;

    (6) once we have added 'physically' table that we proceed with the number of lines; and we get correctly the number of

    ranks once we overview the name of table after that;

    (7) then we try to retrieve the lines and the question; We get the following error message:

    ErroreSQL.PNG

    We also dug a bit little and concluded that the request received by hive instead of being

    SELECT * FROM trucks

    it becomes

    SELECT FROM trucks

    If the ' *' is passed to the SQL statement sent. If we run the same query on the Beehive, we get

    exactly the same exception ParseException error, it really seems that there is a problem in the

    construction of the SQL statement.

    Any idea about this problem? (if a fix exists, because after so many attempts, we are convinced

    This is a bug that can only be fixed by a new version of Admintool)

    BTW: we have tried almost all the possible options for the ODBC driver (such as 'native of use request',

    ("Use Unicode" and so on) and in regards to the Admintool, we have not seen what option

    or preferably (at the physical layer) can influence this anomaly.

    Any help is really, really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    OK, I got what you're saying. I mean, to focus on the bigger picture. If you can make a data view or list Table to import metadata is a bit unrelated to the final goal. Annoying, but irrelevant. What you try to do, is get OBIEE to build queries dynamic SQL based on the logical requests which will submit your users via presentation against the presentation layer Services.

    Continue to build your SPR (ignorant that display data does not work) at a very simple level, with a single fact/Sun in the business model, single domain - and then run an appropriate query generated in answers through it. The point of all this is to see how OBIEE SQL query then generates, and if it's worth a one hive.
