Adding a dimension in planning app

Hi,
I just wanted to know if it is possible to add another dimension in an already existing planning app. The application has years of data.
Is this logically possible ?
Thanks in Advance!

Is it possbile? Yes it is
Is it logically possible? No. How can you get a new dimension for history years!!!!
How to make it work. You'll have to map all your existing data to a member or members of the new dimension and change all the rules/logic to include the new dimension so that the change is mapped correctly to history years.
Or you can start fresh by moving your history data to a different cube and then make the new dimension addition from current year or next year onwards.

Cannot find Version, Year, Period dimension while reversing Planning App

Hi
I am using Planning application as target for dimension loading.
When i try to reverse the planning app using RKM Hyperion Planning.
On reversing i could not find Version, Year & Period as datastores after reverse.
Is it dependent on planning application version or ODI version.
I am using 10.1.3.5 for ODI & 11.1.1.3 for Planning.
Just to update, i was able to get Version as datastore on reversing, but didnt do anything special in that case.
Now i am facing the problem, that on trying to reverse, i could not get Version, Year, Period as datastores.

Hi,
I believe if you are using 11.1.1.3 then it should reverse the extra datastores by default, as far as I am aware the core java files for planning were updated in 11.1.1.3 for this to happen.

EPMA Planning App Issue

We have a deployed EPMA planning app....in EPMA shared libraray the begbalance of period is deleted...
So when we validate the planning app..its throwing out error abt begbalance...when we add begbalance to period n validate we get following erors:
Error Details
=============
Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'BegBalance' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed.
Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'BegBalance' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed.
Error : Period dimension 'Period' contains a Base Time Period member 'BegBalance' that has been added since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be added once the dimension is deployed.
how to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Period dimension in an EPMA Planning application must have "BegBalance" member - you may choose not to use it by unchecking "Use Beginning Balance" checkbox in the Planning properties of each relevant "Scenario" member - then BegBalance will always be read-only in that scenario and you just don't include it in any data forms.

How to lock a period in Essbase but the app is Planning app?

Hi!
I am using Planning v11.1.1.3 and have a Planning app.
The requirement is that user can read/write data directly to Essbase via Smartview. I lock a particular period, e.g. Oct, in Scenario dimension so the user cannot write data to Oct in Planning, but how do stop user to write data to Oct via Smartview?
The user has 'Server Access' for Essbase, 'Interactive User' and 'Analytic Services Write Access' for Planning.
If I create a additional filter to lock 'Oct' in Essbase, it seems the user can still write to 'Oct'.
Appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this.
Thanks.

First Smartview is 2 things. Its a planning interface and an Essbase interface.
So users can access Planning forms and still have the right security. I assume you mean users are interfacing Essbase directly to the same cube that is your planning cube so basically bypassing Planning that controls things
you can push the filters from Planning to Essbase but Planning controls the periods from the scenario. And If I remember correctly this is not passed to Essbase.
So your options are 1
1) dont let users access Essbase directly and force them to use Planning forms in Smartview
2) don't push Planning security filters to Essbase and try to replicaate all the security again in Essbase. But the tools is not design for this and refreshing will wipe out all your hardwork so be very very careful
3) push Oracle/Hyperion to finally fix the way they do security to make it more unified process once and for all

Unable to reverse Hyperion planning app in ODI

Hi,
The following error is coming up in ODI while reversing planning application. I could see only Account dimension but i dont see any other columns and other dimensions.
java.sql.BatchUpdateException: ORA-02291: integrity constraint (PLANAPP4.FK_TXT) violated - parent key not found
Please let me know if anyone have come across this issue and its resolution.
Thanks,

Hi John,
ODI version is - 10.1.3.5
Planning version is - 11.1.2.0
I tried many times before but it did not work.. just before posting this message i wanted to give a try and to my surpise it reversed the planning app.. not sure what was the problem earlier?
Thanks,

Can't open a Planning App as a non-admin user..

All,
I am having trouble getting a non-administrator to open/view a Planning application. I have a Test_User in Shared Services, and as long as I provision him to be an administrator for my Planning app, he is able to access it fine, view dataforms etc. But as soon as I change him to an interactive user or planner , he is no longer able to access the app. In the latter case instead of opening up the app and displaying the list of available dataforms, I get an error message saying, "An error occured while processing this page, please check log for details."
I get the above problem both while trying to access the app in workspace or directly thru the Planning URL.
This problem doesn't extend to opening dimension or application libraries. I.e. i can get all user types to access these EPM libraries, as long as they are provisioned to be 'Dim Editor' / 'App Creator' in Global Rules.
I think I am making some basic error with the app access, but can't put a finger on it.
Appreciate any help.
thanks,
Akshay

Hi,
Did you check if your app is set to maintenance mode in planning web console?
-Go for Administration-->application settings--->Application maintenance mode-->make sure the application is enabled for "all users".
If this happens for the first time after you create users, the security might not have refreshed to planning from shared services.
-Go for Administration-->Dimensions-->select a member-->assign access-->choose" Migrate Identites" ( this should refresh the security from shared services to planning).
Hope this helps,

Unable to See Planning App in EAS

Planning 11.1.1.3
New application created today. Native user in local Shared Services. Provisioned with all access to Planning. Created dimensions, created first form. Cannot see users to give access to form. New BR cannot see new Outline. Admin cannot see Planning cube in EAS at all. Cannot assign new owner to application. No users are seen by Application (registered) in Shared Services.
Other planning apps exist, and such objects are visible. Copied provisioning from one app to the new app. Synchronized security in EAS. Still invisible.

If other application are working without any problem, can you not delete the planning application and try again, something may have gone wrong.
If not can you refresh planning? Can you provision any users against the application in Shared Services
Cheers

Don't see the created planning app in workspace

Hi all,
I have very similar problem to this one:
Hyperion Planning Installation - error
I succesfully installed and configured shared services, essbase, workspace, planning.
In EPM Architect I created my planning app. I see it in application library, I'm able to edit it in dimension library.
But I can't see this application in workspace (neither under "Applications" at home page nor at others workspace menus)
I can only deal with it in http://<planningmachine>:8300/HyperionPlanning/
I checked my system database, HSPSYS_APPLICATION table exists there and there is a record for my app.
Then I tried to reconfigure planning database (just in case), but it still doesn't appear in workspace. Also, HSPSYS_APPLICATION table now is empty.
Need your help...

didenko wrote:
I checked web server configuration, and planning has default port 8300Did you run through all the configuration process for the workspace web server or just check? If you just checked then you will need to run through all the config process.
I'll remind that after reconfiguring planning database HSPSYS_APPLICATION table now is empty. Maybe I should return a record for my app somehow?If you can access your planning application I can't see how the table would be empty unless you have run the config utility and select the planning database config and dropped the tables.
If you can access the planning application directly then you don't need to worry about the table.

Currency UDA in EPMA Planning app

Hi All,
Version 11.1.2.0;
I've just upgraded a Classic multi currency Planning app to EPMA. The currency conversion is a manual HBR rule and was working fine in Classic.
Now after converting the rule to Calc Manager, I get the validation error for the part where it looks for the Entity members currency UDA.
( @ISUDA("Entity","NZD") )
I believe that Business Rules (HBR) validate the code against Essbase application while Calculation Manager does it against Planning. Can someone point out how I may resolve this issue. I haven't worked with Calc Manager before.
Cheers,
Abhishek

I was pointed to the below bug, which I believe was fixed in some patch for 11.1.1.3. Due to this one would have believed that 11.1.2.0 would have been fine.
Hsp_Rates dimension members other than Hsp_InputValue and Hsp_InputCurrency (for example, HSP_Rate_USD) do not validate successfully against Planning in Calculation Manager. To work around this, deploy these rules to Planning and launch them without validating them in Calculation Manager (7163027)
I did deploy the rules without validating and they run successfully when launched from Planning. I'm pretty sure now that this bug has somehow remained in 11.1.2.0
Thanks for your responses
Cheers,
Abhishek

HELP - 11.1.2 Planning app not rolling up on blank values (#missing)

Stumped looking for avenues. On 11.1.2 with critical patches applied on Windows 2008 SP1 environment
We have a simple planning app with not much data. We have a dimension called 'Funding Source' example shown below:
Funding Source (Level 2)
DME (Level 1)
DME Resources (Level 0)
When I enter in numeric values into DME Resources (i.e. 15.53) then DME and Funding Source are properly updated. When I blank out the DME resource cell, the Level 1 and Level 2 STILL show 15.53
We have tried various BRs/Calc Scripts, but to no avail
Funding Source/DME is at Never Share, DME Resources is at Store, Unspecifiied is the type for all, Addition is the selection for all. These do not have any security on them
Looking for avenues to troubleshoot this
It simply doesn't like to clear out the upper levels when the level 0 cell is blank

ODI: Load metadata into EPMA ("non-classic") Planning app

Hi all, I know about loading metadata to classic planning/essbase application, but tell me please if its possible to load metadata to non-classic planning app (I mean created in Architect (in application library) and see it in dimension library?
maybe there is some workaround for this situation
thanks in advance

Version 11.1.1.0.0. We have successfullly used EPMA Interface Tables to manage our planning metdata. We went this direction to avoid introducting another ETL/ELT tool (ODI) into our clients infrastructure. At the time, we didn't realize that ODI was not supported for EPMA (only Classic). I'm thinking of logging an SR to confirm if this limitation will be addressed in a later version of planning. The EPMA administrators guide provided enough detail to help us get started with Interface tables. The one area that created an issue for us was how EPMA ordered the load of members in the EPMA Interface Hierarchy table. Parent members need to be loaded before children. If this ordering is not followed , you will get "Orphan" errors. We could not find a documented process to control the load order, so we need to devise a workaround. Our workaround involved creating a view against the EPMA Interface table to order the retrieval of members so that parents appeared before their children. The Oracle CONNECT BY clause works well to handle this requirement. To make this view visible to EPMA you'll need
to replace the base hierarchy table with the view by updating the EPMA IM_DIMENSION table. EX:
update IM_DIMENSION set C_HIERARCHY_TABLE_NAME = 'HS_Entity_Hierarchy_VW' where C_DIMENSION_NAME = 'Entity';
Alternate hierarchies also require separate EPMA Import profiles. Since only one set of EPMA Interface tables can be used to load a single dimension, you'll need a process that does the following for each alternate hierarchy.
1) Clear EPMA Interface Tables
2) Load EPMA Interface Tables
3) Execute EPMA Import Script
Finally, it's not clear how the I_LOAD_ID column (i.e. load id) is initialized in EPMA Interface tables (by default it's NULL). A load id is somehow assigned each time a Import profile is executed. A load id can be used (among other critiera) to clear EPMA interface tables. However, when I execute a Import profile, EPMA did not assign a load id (I_LOAD_ID was still null). Not sure if I_LOAD_ID is user assigned and is static? Again, very little documentation on how to manage the load id (what is user defined verses what is managed by EPMA).

Adding additional dimensions in HFM

Hi Experts,
Need your advice.
Present scenario: we have an HFM application which is pulling data from Peoplesoft transactional system. for the current application we have created 4 custom dimension and based on it all the mappings were done.
Required:there is a requirement for adding additional custom dimension.
i just want to know if it is possible to add additional custom dimension in the present application without affecting the previous data within the application.
please advice the steps and the precautions to be taken.
will such addition affect the previous period data?
Thanks in advance.

What version of HFM are you running?
If you are at 11.1.2.2 (or higher I would imagine), then following link seems to provide some basic instructions on this process:
http://blog.topdownconsulting.com/2015/01/adding-custom-dimensions-hfm/
I would think about:
(1) Is an additional dimension necessary - could you possibly split up an existing custom dimension (in the past, when only 4 custom dims were allowed, many times a dimension would serve dual purposes),
(2) If you do decide to add a new dimension, this would be a major change that would effect all aspects of the application (data loading, reporting, historical data, consolidation rules, forms, grids, etc) - so, do you have a test system you could experiment with? At the very least you would want to make a copy of the current app and convert the copy as a test,
(3) probably you would want to do a thorough analysis of your consolidation rules before hand to see what the implications are of adding the new dim.

While adding/Changing member in planning it gives the error "The SQL operation failed with an error code: 0"

Hi, While adding/Changing member in planning it gives the error "The SQL operation failed with an error code: 0" and not allowing any of the changes. I am not able to open the forms giving the error as "Fiscal Days Input - is invalid". Interestingly one form was opening, when the Page selection is changed it also started giving error as like "Fisacal Days Input(form name) - is invalid check log for details". Pls advice us that what is this error and how to resolve this. And Which log is to be referred for the details. Thanks Ravi

If a form is invalid it generally means that one of the dimension references is missing. Can you get in to edit the form? If you can, see if you can preview it. I suspect you will not be able to. If not, check all dimension boxes have at least one member against them. If you have multiple rows and/or columns check all of them too. I've had a couple of forms in dev "drop" a dimension reference but only once or twice so not enough to reproduce or find out what is causing it. Each time I got the "form invalid" error message and managed to fix it. Hope this helps.

Import Essbase Dimensions into epma app

Hi All,
We are working in EPMA Planning Application.We have created the Planning app and deployed it successfully.we struck with importing dimensions...that is..
1) Is it possible to dump the essbase dimensions into epma application?
or
Is it possible to covert the essbase app into epma application?
Please let us know .
thanks in advance.

You can transform an essbase application into an EPMA one - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_admin/epma_app_upgrade.html
