Dynamic Time Series problem
I have three measures and three Orgs set up in the following way-
Measures
M1(~)<2>(Two Pass)
|
---M2(+)(Two Pass)
---M3(+)(Two Pass)
Orgs
O1(~)<2>(Two Pass)
|
---O2 (+)
---O3 (+)
I have formulas for members M2 and M3 such that M2 is calculated only for O2 and M3 is calculated only for M3 and the formulas are such that I need the two pass on O1.
Now here is my problem: When I retrieve the data using Y-T-D(04) as my time period, all data (i.e. for M1,M2 and M3) for org O1 shows up as #missing. All other data (i.e. M1,M2 and M3 for O2 and O3) shows up as it should (sum from jan to apr). If I retrieve for individual months everything works perfectly. Can anyone give me some pointers as to why this is happening?
Two pass won't effect dynamic time series. If the member was dynamic and you needed it two pass as well, that might make the order of the calculations different than you'd anticipate.
Dynamic Time Series will be calculated last so in your case, if you were selecting Y-T-D (Feb), the result would be M1->Jan + M2->Feb. I don't know if that will yield the correct result. I think you need to make sure the formula is correct for a given month and then see if the math should be calculating this way.

Dynamic Time Series Alias Problem w Parens
When I have "Use Aliases" turned on, My Y-T-D function doesn't work if the time member alias uses the parenthesis character (I can't retrieve on a spreadsheet - the member isn't recognized).member: 2002_27 ... works greatalias: Week_27 ending 8/2/02 ... works greatalias: Week_27 (w/e 8/2/02) ... FAILSI can't find any documentation that you shouldn't use parentheses in alias names w/ the Y-T-D member.

How to use Dynamic Time Series YTD on a calc script / member formula?
Hi,
I activated Dynamic Time Series on Essbase and would like to use the YTD function of a measure for a certain month.
I tried to use
MeasureName->YTD(Dec)
MeasureName->Y-T-D(Dec)
But couldn't use it to syntax problems. How can I call this function instead of using @Accum or @SumRange?
Thank you
Edited by: Icebergue on 10/Ago/2011 11:07I could be wrong, but I don't think you can use DTS members in calc scripts or member formulas. As you probably know, they can be used in Financial Reports, SmartView and Excel Add-in.
You can create an alternate hierarchy in your Time dimension though:
Jan (YTD): Jan ->Jan is being a shared member
Feb (YTD): Feb+Jan (YTD) ->Both Feb and Jan (YTD) are being a shared members
Dec (YTD): Dec+Nov (YTD) ->Both Dec and Nov (YTD) are being a shared members

Using PeriodToDate MDX function in an ASO cube (Dynamic Time Series)
Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2
Since ASO doesn't support Dynamic Time Series (DTS), I am trying to use the "PeriodToDate" MDX function to get MTD and YTD totals. Below is my Time dimension:
Time (Time - Stored)
...I---> 2007
......l---> Q1-2007
.........l---> Jan-2007
............l---> 2007-01-01
............l---> 2007-01-02
............l---> 2007-01-03
.........l---> Feb-2007
.........l---> Mar-2007
......l---> Q2-2007
......l---> Q3-2007
......l---> Q4-2007
Syntax:
PeriodsToDate ( [layer [, member ]] )
I tried many different ways to get the right syntax but it didn't work when I set the formula on member "2007" for YTD totals or on months to get MTD. Any help would be appreciated.

user597443ASO does not have Dynamic Time Series at all (unless something just recently changed)
Period to date functionality has to be managed via MDX formulas and/or alternate roll ups in your time dimension.
Time Balancing does have to be a stored hierarchy, which is what you generally want anyway. The issue you have with Time balancing is that some times if you have an alternate roll up in your time dimension, it can cause problems with Time balancing.
If you want to use Time balancing, I would sugest a single stored time heriarchy and use an anakytic view dimension for the period to date functionality.
You can see a post I have on my blog that talks about this: garycris.blogspot.com
One other thing to mention. If you wan to use built in time balance functionality, you must tag a dimension as Account Type and it will have to be a dynamic dimension. -
Excel dynamic time series errors
Has anyone bumped into the problem recently that the Dynamic Time Series is not being recognized on some pc's but works fine on another? I have seen this a couple of times and I can't figure out if it is the Excel version or a problem with the add-in. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What do you mean it won't retrieve on some machines?Does it give you an error or just come up with #missing or blank. Or does it calculate but the numbers are wrong.What version on Essbase and Excel are you using. What is the error message and number.Is the client add-in the same patch as the server. Just to check:Do they have the check mark turned on in the Essbase / Options / Display tab to indicate what the lastest time period is.Regards,Corey BidmeadClarity Systems

How to set Dynamic Time Series in Planning application
Dear All,
I am having an issue by setting up dynamic time series (Y-T-D). I have set up at generation level 4. In our application the hierarchy of dimension Period is as follows.
Yeartotal -> HY1 -> Q1 -> Jan, Feb, Mar
Consider the following example
Jan -> 100
Feb -> 200
Mar -> 300
If I want to retrieve "Y-T-D Feb" the result should show me the sum of Jan & Feb in this case it should be 300. What is the syntax of retrieving YTD in smartview.
In our application "Year" dimension name is "Year". How can I rename this dimension name if this is the requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
SamiThe format in Smart View would be Y-T-D(feb) more info at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/sv_user_11121102/ch17s02s02.html
you will need to rename Year to something like Years, it depends if it is a classic or EPMA to how you rename it.

How to use dynamic time series in formula
I have Time dimension with active Dynamic Time Series for Y-T-D.
I'd like to use it in member formula - e.g. IF (@ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)")) - but this doesn't work as I get error message Unknown variable or member name.
Any idea how to work with dynamic time series members in formula?
Still using Essbase 6.5 X-(.As Glenn mentioned, I also don't believe you can reference a DTS member in a formula, you would have to calc the YTD. Take a look at the @PTD function to calc Period to date numbers, I believe this function was available in v6.
Having said that, we're assuming you want to calc a ptd number, but your example was based on an IF @ISMBR(). So the question becomes what are you trying to do? Given what I assume your time dim looks like, what would be the difference between @ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)") and @ISMBR("Aug") -
How to build dynamic time series for the time dimension
I am planning to build dynamic time series using rule file instead of manually.Please let me know if there is any property need to assign to enable DTS property for TIME dimension.
Edited by: 844104 on Mar 14, 2011 3:37 AMIn the load rule in the dimension build settings you would need to go to the tab dimension definition, choose the time dimension and right click on it. Select Edit properties. If you have not done so, set the dimension to be the time dimension. Then go to the generations/levels tab and set the generation names you need. For example if you want YTD, you would set the generation name to Year, if you want QTD set it to Quarter. You would set the number to the generation number that coorisponds to the generation. The DBAG has the list of names for all of the DTS members.

Is it possible to drive your Dynamic Time Series from LEVEL 1 of the Time dimension? I ask because ALL our data is supplied at level 1 (Month) EXCEPT our Adjustments, which are at level 0. Any Dynamic Time Series retrieves (such as Y-T-D) are coming back with #Missing. Time is a dense dimension so there is no sharing blocks of non-Adjustment data. So, any ideas would be appreciated. We are using Essbase 6.5p1Thanks
Not that I'm aware of.Is it possible to load your adjustments into a different database and just transfer the higher level values in this one (using partitioning maybe) so that you can use DTS?

Issues using two-pass with dynamic time series?
Is there any issues with using Dynamic time series [Q-T-D(May)] on a dynamic calc account which is defined as two-pass and has time balance property associated with it.
The account is defined as "Dynamic Calc"+"Two-pass"+"TB First" and it works fine, but does not fetch result when used with DTS as Q-T-D(May). But, the same seems to work fine without the two-pass calc option on.
Thanks in advance,
cheers,
revatiHi Revati,
Yes u r right, I also tried with same scenario as you mentioned.
Y-T-D values are not fetching with Twopass,but in that case Twopass is not required because of that member already having "Dynamic calc".
so you can proceed with Dynamiccalc without twopass.

Dynamic Time Series in Essbase =/= Workspace
Hi all, I have a question regarding DTS.
I was trying to make changes to Dynamic Time Series to Period dimension in Workspace. I enabled DTS, assigned a generation #, and gave default an alias. After making the changes, I deployed as usual from Application Manager. 100% completed, no errors, all clear in the log.
When I try to retrieve, the change did not take effect. I also checked in EAS, the change wasn't taken place.
I suspected that DTS wasn't installed properly between Workspace and EAS. So to prove that, I went directly into EAS and made the change to DTS. Guess what? It worked!
So in conclusion, does that mean DTS wasn't installed properly? Was my suspicion correct?I'm assuming that it is an EPMA application.
I've seen DTS not working (was that you?) for an EPMA application earlier.

Dynamic Time Series in Essbase
Hello All,
I am new to Hyperion planning and Essbase development. I would like to implement Dynamic Time Series in Essbase. I could not find any materials where I can understand the concepts of DTS.
So I know I have an Essbase application created in EAS console with Period and Year dimension. How can I implement the DTS for PTD, QTD and YTD?
It would be really helpful If someone could help in understanding and implementing the DTS.
Thanks in Advance

How to enable Dynamic Time Series?
Hi expert,
I tried to enabled Dynamic Time Series for an application, by go to Dimension Library, right click, select "Dynamic Time Series", then selected both YTD and QTD for generation 2 and 3 respectively, then refresh database.
But found seems the DTS is not enabled, tried to use in in Smartview, but cannot retrieve anything. Is there any further steps I need to take to enable DTS? Please help!
My HP application is on 11.1.2.1 and we use EPMA. Thanks!You should really only have to do what is documented at - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_admin/epma_dts_members.html
This may be useful as well in Oracle Support - "Clarification on the Generation Level when Setting up Dynamic Time Series (DTS: YTD, QTD,..) for Hyperion Planning [ID 1334732.1]"

Has anyone figured out a way to rename a dynamic time series member?
Our client uses trimesters instead of quarters or halfs in their financial reporting. We need to use dynamic time series but do not want to use Q-T-D or S-T-D members because they don't quite make sense to the client. We attempted to rename Q-T-D to T-T-D in the planning app repository unique names table but received an error. Has anyone figured out a way to rename a dynamic time series member or is it just not possible and we will have an alias that doesn't jive with the member name?
I think the option is probably to use an alias, you shouldn't really be trying to hack the planning tables as it is essbase that controls DTS.
Cheers

Hi,
I have just tried to activate dynamic time series members in the outline.
In the outline I can now see "Active time series members: Y-T-D behind the dimension name "Periode".
I was in the assumption that new Y-T-D members would be created. But this is not the case.
I want to use the YTD functionality in financial reporting. But am unable to select DTS members.
What is the proper way to set up DTS?Hi,
Proper way of setting-up Dynamic time Series is: -
1- Define one dimension as 'Time' in outline.
2- Select any eight predefined Dynamic Time Series members like Q-T-D, Y-T-D and associated it with any generation. For example, if you want to calculate quarter-to-date values, you enable the Q-T-D member and associate it with the generation to which you want to apply the Dynamic Time Series member.
3- Dynamic Time Series members are not displayed as members in the database outline. Instead, Essbase lists the currently active Dynamic Time Series members in a comment on the time dimension. For Ex. Y-T-D is showing after dimension 'Period' in yourcase.
4- When you retrieve a Dynamic Time Series member, you need to tell Essbase the time period up to which you want to calculate the period-to-date value. This time period is known as the latest time period and must be a level 0 member on the time dimension. For. Ex - For example, Q-T-D(May) returns the quarter-to-date value by adding values for April and May.
Hope it answers you.
