Alternate Hierarchy in same version

HI,
I have a requirement to create an alternate hierarchy in the same version.
In a current version, we are having a hierarchy named as HN_Managerial.
Our requirement is to have an alternate hierarchy named HN_Managerial_Mgmt which should be the exact replica of the original hierarchy in the same version.
Currently, I am performing this manually as I am not sure of the Automation process.
As manual creation is taking too much time and due to stringent deadlines, it would be greatly helpful if I could know whether this process can be automated.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Shankar S

Every node in a version exists once and only once. If the hierarchy you have is identical in every way and all you want is the top node to be different, then create a local property called HierNameAlt and give it a formula such that if the level is greater than 1 use the name otherwise use the alternate name you want. Create a second export that is identical to the one you are using except use the new property for the name. Since the top node is level 1, it will use the name you have hard coded for the top naode and all the others will have the name as they appear in the hierarchy.

BPC Alternate hierarchy rollup issue - require help

Hi All,
We are seeing a rollup issue on Alternate Hierarchies. We had set-up alternate hierarchies on our Country Dimension (DC) to assist some managerial reporting that is only relevant to one of our Operating segments.
To show the problem, I am listing an example of our Country dimension member sheet. I have put "**" delimiter between the pertinent values to show which columns the values land under.
ID*DescriptionPARENTH1PARENTH2FORMULAH1*FORMULAH2
MAIN_HIER*Main Hier* ** ** ** **
D1*DC EuropeMAIN_HIER* ** ** **
A*Country AD1SG1* ** **
B*Country BD1SG1* ** **
C*Country CD1SG2* ** **
D*Country DD1SG3* ** **
D2--DC India*MAIN_HIER* ** ** **
E*Country ED2--ALT_HIER* ** **
C1*Calc Eur* ** *DC.H1.D1+DC.H1.E* **
ALT_HIER*Alt Hier* ** ** ** **
SG1*Sub Reg 1* *ALT_HIER* ** **
SG2*Sub Reg 2* *ALT_HIER* ** **
SG3*Sub Reg 3* *ALT_HIER* ** **
We have our main Country hierarchy that comes under the root parent MAIN_HIER. In addition to that on our main hierarchy we had a calculated node for Calc Europe (C1) which is supposed to be a summation of DC Europe (D1) + Country E (E). We had created an alternate hierarchy to represent a breakdown by more subregions (SG1, SG2, SG3 and Country E) within DC Europe so basically the root node of the alternate Hierarchy (ALT_HIER) should show the same amounts as the calculated node C1 on the main hierarchy.
If we take a higher level Account dimension member like NET_SALES the values tie out but if we take a base member in the Account Hierarchy (e.g one representing Customer Sales), the values don't match with the ALT_HIER values seem being the wrong ones. It almost seems like the rollups of the Alternate Hierarchy are not accurate.
Could you pls. shed some light on if the dimension member set-up above is wrong from any angle.
BTW, we are on BPC 7.0M SP04 Patch 2 and SQLServer version is SQLServer 2005 EE SP3.
Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abhay Shanbhag

Abhay:
Please try below...
Add "RollupChildren(Account.Hx.CurrentMember,"+") to all non-base members who don't aggregate properly under FORMULAHx. For instance, I have below hierarchy PARENTH1 for Balance Sheet Total Asset
BALSHEET
TotalAsset
-CurrentAsset
-NonCurrentAsset
If CurrentAsset and NonCurrentAsset all roll up fine but TotalAsset doesn't add up. In your Dimension, put MDX formula RollupChildren(Account.H1.CurrentMember,"+") for TotalAsset and BALSHEET under FORMULAH1.
We have this issue when we created additional hierarchies, and it took us a while to debug before I got this hint from SAP Support. Ever since it works like a charm =)
Hope this helps

Having issues when creating alternate hierarchy in time dimension

Hi Everyone
I used How to guide of MS version 7.5 to build 2 hierarchies in time dimension.
It worked in MS version.7.5
But when i copied the same dimension members to NW version the alternate hierarchy (parenth2) doesn't work.
I mentioned all the required properties for both roll ups (like parenth2,timeid,usertimeid,ISBEGINNING).
Any idea?
thanks

"This sounds confusing to me as to how a stored hierarchy can contain a shared member from a dynamic hierarchy"
You just need to understand how things are stored in ASO for this to make sense.
A level 0 member with no formula, even though it is in a dynamic hierarchy is still a stored member.
-- All level 0 members that do not have formulas are stored in ASO.
Upper level members are all "dynamically calculated".
-- Upper level members of dynamic hierarchies are pure dynamic.
-- Upper level members of stored hierarchies are candidates to have their values pre-aggregated and stored in a view.

DRM Alternate Hierarchy Best Practice

What procedures and best practices are suggested for implementing Alternate Hierarchies for DRM reporting purposes?
Thank You.

In two ways you can set up alternate hierarchy in DRM
1) Across the hierarchies but within same version (Linked Nodes)
2) Within the hierarchy (Shared Nodes)
Insert and AddInsert actions in DRM will let you to create shared hierarchies either within Hierarchy or across hierarchies.
If you are creating shared hierarchies across the hierarchies you don't see suffixes such as ":Shared-001" at the end of node but if you are using Insert within the hierarchy then you will suffixes, to have second one implemented first you need turn on one system preferences "SharedNodeMaitainanceEnabled".

Essbase Studio Alternate Hierarchy Creation error

Hi All,
I'm using Essbase Studio to create an alternate hierarchy. I have a dim which has shared members and I'm getting the following error msg during cube deployment:
1. Record #1- Member Name (SKU) already used i.e. the member for which I m trying to create shared member
     I m following the same procedure mentioned in the user guide i.e.
        Step1: create a copy of the dimension element that you want to designate as a shared member(Renamed SKU_copy with SKU_Diet). By making a copy, the binding expression for this element is the same as the original dimension element (SKU_Diet).
       Step2: when you create the second hierarchy in the chain, which is the alternate hierarchy, add a user-defined membas the parent and add the new dimension element (SKU_Diet) as the child, which will be the shared member.
     Even I m able to see the shared members (SKU_Diet) under user defined member "Diet" under the preview window (both by key binding and caption binding) as wel..
     But I m unable to see the shared members in EAS console after deploying the cube from Essbase Studio to EAS Console.
I m not able to understand what I m missing exactly,.and suggest me other ways as well for creating alternate hierarchies in Essbase Studio.
Thanks in advance..!!

Alternate Hierarchy Load into BI

Hi,
I have an alternate hierarchy created on Profit Center in COPA. When trying to load the same into BI, I have the following issue:
In the infopackage, under Hierarchy Selection tab, i do not see the specific hierarchy to load, although I can see other alternate profit center hierarchies.
I can see the hierarchy in ECC 6.0 in KES3 (active ). Since it is created under profitability analysis master data, the alternate hierarchy was created with a variant.
Any help is high appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks,
Sree

Hi,
In order to load the Customer hierarchy first of all check if 0Customer info object is available in BI system, if not install it with dependent object like Info source and Transfer structure from BI content. Activate the data source "0CUSTOMER_LKLS_HIER" in R/3 Replicate the data source in BI. Activate Transfer structure. Create Info Package and load the data in Hierarchy.

Alternate hierarchy with only the Leaf nodes

Hi,
I have an account hierarchy with multiple levels in it. Now I want to make an alternative hierarchy with only the leaf nodes of that hierarchy with using the same nodes. Can anyone please explain the steps how to do it.

Unless you have any special requirements it will be straight forward, get an export of all the leaf members in an action script format and execute the INSERT action on your alternate hierarchy, you can create your alternate hierarchy with only the TOP node and insert the leaf members under it, in case you have thousands of them, you can split them by introducing dummy parents, also if you wish to maintain any local properties, please have them updated accordingly.

Difference between Standard Hierarchy and Alternate Hierarchy

Hi
Can anyone explain the difference between Standard Heirarchy and Alternate Hierarchy in Controlling.
Thanks in Advance,
Deepthi.

Standard Hierarchy: It is a hierarchy of cost center groups / profit center groups in which all cost centers / profit centers are gathered together in a controlling area.
In order to create cost centers, you require a structure in master data maintenance to which you can assign cost centers. You create this CO structure, the standard hierarchy, when you create a controlling area. If this hierarchy is not present during controlling area maintenance, the system automatically creates the highest node there.

Alternate Hierarchy: The alternate hierarchy setting in the controlling area enables you to name up to two more alternative hierarchies (according to fiscal year), which can be used for the authorization check in the same way as the standard hierarchy (meaning, that inheritance logic is used). You can also deactivate the standard hierarchy as an authorization hierarchy, and use only the alternative hierarchy.

I had the same version of firefox before. but dueto a problem i uninstalled it. now i installed it again and i want to recover my old passwords.

i had the same version of firefox. but after adding yahoo messenger to my computer, it added a toolbar in my firefox and i was unable to remove it even after whatever i did. now, i got the same firefox and i very barely want all my lost passwords. is there any way for it? (i had a master password and i remember it)

Did you remove your personal data when you previously uninstalled Firefox?
If you did then your Firefox profile folder with your personal data including saved passwords was removed. 
If you kept your personal data then Firefox should have picked up that profile automatically.

How can I open multiple instances of the same version of FF?

I understand that if I have multiple profiles, I can run different versions of FF side-by-side (like 3.6 and 4).
However, what I'm interested in is how I can launch multiple instances of the same version of FF (4, for instance) using the same profile. In other words, I want to be able to double-click the desktop icon for FF, and open a new instance, and keep doing that as many times as I want. I don't want to have a different icon and profile for each instance (too much overhead to keep a dozen+ profiles in sync).
I can always launch one FF window instance, and then keep clicking ctrl+N to launch new instances from inside it, which they all share the same profile (as I want). So, basically, I want to be able to do that from my desktop icon, rather than by having to do it with the keyboard ctrl+N sequence.

But I don't understand why whatever Firefox does when you click ctrl+N can't also be done (with some sort of command-line switch) from a desktop icon?
In other words, I clearly can create many FF instances (even if they are the same FF.exe process) by doing ctrl+n a bunch of times. Why then can't this behavior be done from a desktop icon with some parameters?
As far as I know, FF is the only browser that doesn't directly allow multiple browser instances from desktop icons. IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc... all let me launch a new instance (even if they are all single process and the instances are shared within the process).

Why can't I restore the same version IOS that's on my phone?

My iPhone 4s has apps on it that are not iOS 6x or even 7x compatible. iTunes/Apple won't let me restore the same version of iOS 5 that is currently on my phone that won't boot up. I have no options anymore except to pay.
1. I can pay a developer to migrate the app I use for work to iOS7 and eventually run into the same problem later and pay AGAIN.
2. I can ditch Apple (because there is no logical reason for this) and pay to go over to a Google phone and pay to migrate my app over to android but have the peace of mind that I won't be forced to do what android wants me to do anymore.
I bought an iPhone, an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4S. I don't like using the latest and greatest because I only really care about doing what *I* want to do with *MY* phone. I don't like being told I can't have what I've been using for the past 2 years because Apple has changed a policy or something.
Is Apple doing ANYTHING for people like me or are we just screwed? Can anyone explain why Apple would disallow reinstallation of an iOS i've been using for years now?

if you're saying the default function of 'restore' has always been update to latest for your device you'd all be correct.. but that's not what i'm talking about. shift+click restore and you'll be prompted to browse for your firmware. since the dawn of the iphone (ask anyone that's actually used this feature) you have always been able to use this feature to install same-version ios as to what version is on the device. in the past it was more open, allowing you to update to any version above the one you're on, but that was taken away back in IOS3.. for example.
i'm sure for the average user who has no idea what version ios they use or want this would be completely transparent so i don't really blame you for not knowing or using this feature. for others like me this is a big deal. hopefully someone else who is on the same page as i am will chime in..
i think it's a little crazy to force your users to only use the specific version ios you want them to. have you tried ios7 on an ipad2? hello lag. there are more reasons than mine to want to be able to control what software runs on YOUR hardware.. think about it.

How can I see different results for alternate hierarchy?

I have an outline with an accounts dimension with the following members (amongst others):
Total Expenses
Exp1 +
Exp2 +
Exp3 +
Exp31 + (child of Exp3)
Exp32 + (child of Exp3)
Exp33 + (child of Exp3)
I also have another dimension, let's call it DIM, with the following primary and alternate hierarchies (shares upper levels with primary):
Primary
A
A1 +
A2 +
A3 +
B
B1 +
B2 +
B3 +
Alternate
A + (shared member)
B + (shared member)
I want to be able to do the following:
When I select something from the primary hieararchy, I want to see the original values in Exp31, Exp32 and Exp33. When I select a member from the alternate hierarchy, I want to see these 3 expenses zeroed out. Is this possible? I can't find a way to do this since the values for shared members are taken from primary members. Is there another way to do this?
Thanks for your help.
Bela

I did think of creating an alternate hierarchy in the accounts dimension which excludes the expenses I do not want to include in the total, but I have 3 different categories of expenses I want to exclude depending on the members I'm viewing, so I'll have to create that many alternate hierarchies in accounts, each excluding a specific category of expenses.
If you have a brainwave, please let me know!

Plugins that i know are compatible in version 7.0.1 are reporting as not compatible when i try and install then in the same version running inside of VMware.

Greetings ..
I am trying to run Firefox inside of VMware Workstation V8 in Widows 7 and Fusion V4 in Mac OS X 10.7.2.
I first tried to restore a working profile backup of Firefox made with FEBE in windows inside of VMWARE, when I load Firefox more that half of the plugins that were working in Windows and OS X natively, are reporting as not compatible with this (V7.0.1) Firefox and will not update to a working version, as in many cases they are the latest version anyway.
Also it is inconsistent, as i have tried several times to install Firefox and restore the profile and each time it is not all the same plugins that are disabled and reporting as incompatible.
I have also tried to do a clean install of Firefox and going to the website and installing the plugins directly, and while i have not tried all of the disabled plugins, I am unable to install plugins that i am currently using in the same version of Firefox outside of VMware that are working and or can be installed when I am not running Firefox inside of VMware.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
