Define Multiple Hierarchies For The Same Dimension in OBIEE Repository

This document describes how to define multiple hierarchies for the same dimension in the OBIEE repository. It involves creating a new child level under an existing hierarchy level to branch it, then sharing that level to create a second hierarchy. This allows grouping the products dimension by both quality and type, with the shared "Product Total" level as the common point between the hierarchies.

Define Multiple Hierarchies for the Same Dimension in OBIEE Repository

Sometimes we need to have more hierarchies on a Dimension


Logical Table. In this case we need to create a hierarchy
and at one moment we need to create a branch for an existing
hierarchy.
 
Supposing we have a hierarchy which group the Products by
quality.
Take a look at the following screen:
 
 

 
We need to group the products by "Product Type" as well.
The 2 hierarchies must have a common point. This point in my
case is "Product Total".
For this reason, we have to right-click on the "Product
Total" hierarchy level, choose "New Object" and after that
"Child Level". In this way you will add a "Product Type"
level under "Product Total".
Take a look at the following screen:
 
 
 
Drag and drop the "PRODUCT_TYPE" column on the "Product
Type" hierarchy level and you will see something like this:
 
 
Right-click on the "Product Total" hierarchy level, choose
"New Object" and after that "Shared Level as Child".
The following screen will appear:
 
 

 
Choose "Product Details" and click on "OK" and you will see
the OBIEE Repository modified with the new product details
added:
 
 

 
Now add the key for the "Product Type":
 
 
 
Click on "OK" and you will see something like this:
 
 
 
At this point you have 2 hierarchies for Product Dimension.
Save and check the consistency for your repository.
 
When you run the report, you must see something like this:
