Aliases for shared members in Smartview

Hi All Gurus,
I am using Oracle EPM 11.1.2.3. I migrated an EPMA planning application from 11.1.2.2 to 11.1.2.3. The Alias for Shared members are not getting displayed When I access through Smartview ,instead it is showing as [Parent].[child] . But When I access the same application in 11.1.2.2, I can see the Alias.
How to fix this?

It is been identified as a bug have a read of this Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: Smart View issues with alternate Hierarchy - Surprises in Essbase Part V

Is there any API for Shared Members

Hi All ,
Can any one let me know whether there is any API function for Shared Members? I could not find anything from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_api/api_c/mac/tocmacfa.htm
Please do help...Thanks in advance

I am assuming you are on 9.2 as that is the link you posted, all the details you need are in the docs - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_api/topapilist.htm

ASO - Time Functionality - MDX for Shared Members

Hi
I have create an ASO cube with two time hierarchies and I am currently trying to get the WTD To Date Functionality working.
The hierarchies are as follows
Hier1: Year->HalfYear->Quarter->Month->Week->Date (Date is stored)
Hier2: Year->HalfYear->Quarter->Month->Date (Date is shared)
In Hierarchy 1 the month of Jun contains the following days 27/05 - 30/06 due to the way the weeks fall.
In Hierarchy 2 the month of Jun contains the following days 01/06 - 30/06 as this shows the actual days in the month of June.
My problem is, in hierarchy 2, the shared members are taking on the WTD to values of the hierarchy 1 and my MDX is not recalculating for shared members.
Is it possible to recalculate for shared members?
Hierarchy1
Hier1 Value - WTD
Hierarchy 2
Hier2 Value - WTD

Jun-Wk1-02/06/13
700
Jun-02/06/13
700 (This should be the sum of 01/06 +02/06 but instead it is taking the value of Hierarchy 1)
Below is a sample of the MDX I have
WHEN IsLeaf([Calendar].[ReportingYear].CurrentMember) AND Count ( Intersect (Descendants([ReportingYear]) ,{ [Calendar].[ReportingYear].CurrentMember })) > 0
THEN
sum((ANCESTOR( [Calendar].[ReportingYear].CurrentMember,1).Firstchild: [Calendar].[ReportingYear].CurrentMember), [View].[Periodic])
WHEN IsLeaf([Calendar].[CalendarYear].CurrentMember) AND Count ( Intersect (Descendants([CalendarYear]) ,{ [Calendar].[CalendarYear].CurrentMember })) > 0
THEN
/*1*/
sum((ANCESTOR([Calendar]. [CalendarYear].CurrentMember,1).Firstchild:[Calendar]. [CalendarYear].CurrentMember))
Thanks

If you use the IsUda function within an IIF statement then you would have to specify a true part and a false part.IIF (Search condition,true part,false part)

Aliases on Shared Members not in Essbase

<p>I used HAL to create alternate rollups using shared members inmy Accounts dimension and in a custom dimension (Customers). The aliases for the shared members appear in Planning, butafter refreshing Essbase, the aliases are not in Essbase; only themember names. When I add a shared member manually inPlanning, the alias is populated in Essbase. Does anyone havean idea of how to get the aliases in Essbase?</p>

<p>I realize that the alias will display when reporting on it. The reason it came up is because you can't see the alias whenperforming a member selection. It's an inconvenience, not ashow stopper. I just thought it was strange that the aliaswould go into Essbase when the shared member was added manually,but not when added using HAL. Seems like a bug to me.</p>

Essbase Error log issue for Shared Members

I am loading Shared members for a custom dimension in Essbase.
Error log is getting created as below.
\\Record #1 - Warning: Account Only attributes cannot be set in non-Accounts dimensions

But that specific member is getting loaded.
I am loading only shared member in this load and all records are shown as getting rejected even though most of them are getting loaded.This is causing issues in finding out real rejects.

Shared Members Alias

Hello,
I am facing problems while creating / removing aliases of shared members in Essbase outline.
1) What is the best possible way to create aliases for shared members (already present in the outline not new ones) ?
2) What is the best possible way to remove aliases for exisitng shared members in the outline ?
Any leads greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Neetesh

Hi.
The Easiest Way of Doing it is by Parent-Child References..
COnstruct a Data File using Parent child Reference and then Add a Third Column in which you provide Alias name.
In the Field Property of Third Column make is as Alias and tag it to proper dimension and in Dimension build Setting go to Dimension Build tab and check "Allow property changes".
In case of Removing Alias just create Another Column in Rule File And Leave it Blank
Then in its Field Propety Check "Delete When Field is Empty".

How can I create a new iCloud account for a familiy member having a new iDevice and reuse one of my aliases for it

Hi there,
I moved into iCloud from the very beginning and started with one iCloud account for me and my family, making use of email aliases for family members. Now the number of personal iDevices grows and I want to create a new and separate iCloud Account for my son. The pity is, that I reserved his full name already as alias address on my initial iCloud account. If I now delete this alias, can I create a new account with the former alias as new primary email address?
Or is there at least any transfer procedure supported for aliases between different accounts?
Thanks for your help, lauterbachj

Couldn't agree more... the folks who are getting penalized for this are the early adopters of .Mac/iCloud dating from the days when the only way to implement a "family" account was to use aliases. Now all my kids' / my wife's name aliases sit in my account, unable to move. I guess the good news is that if I delete them nobody else will get them, but this seems a pretty poor consolation.
Would it really be so difficult to implement a "move this alias to another iCloud account" option that requires the "sender" and "receiver" to exchange some sort of code to implement the transation in order to prevent fraud?

Shared members' properties not flowing automatically

Hi,
We are developing hierarchies in Drm11.1.2.2
Wherein we have primary members and also shared members in our hierarchy to be built on ...for the properties part let's say for ex I have description-lob as a local property that inherits a global property description-input ...note:values at global properties not to be changed...hence lob ...when the members are created as primary members with their respective properties... The shared members do not inherit the properties from the primary member... How do we get inherit it automatically... Note: description-lob is a overridden property... Please help me asap with your ideas...
Thanks

Hello Scorp,
I've tried to understand and here's what i understood.. The Description-LOB is a defined Inheriting or probably a Overridable derived property. Now taking each case differently -
Note- The Shared members will not "Inherit" the values from their primaries unless they are among its descendants and which typically doesn't make sense from an alternate structure view.
If it is a defined property it will not reflect on the Shared member automatically, if my memory serves me right the Leaf property is the only one which is common.
Now having said that, the only possibility is that of a overridable derived property, now for that you need to put in a condition in your formula to check for Shared members separately, Check for the Core.SharedFlag_MDM which is True for Shared members and False for Primaries you can do something like this.
If(PropValue(Core.SharedFlag_MDM),
NodePropValue(PropValue(Core.PrimaryName_MDM),Custom.YourProperty),
PropValue(Custom.YourProperty))
Let me know if I have deviated from your question.
Thanks

How to load shared members into a duplicate outline using load rules

Hello, I am trying to load an alternate hierarchy into the same dimension in an outline that accepts duplicate members using EAS load rules ... there is no property for shared members so i can't specify it in the load rule .. i tried using parent child and it is not working - no shared members are loaded in the alternate hierarchy .. any ideas? would another utility make it happen?
thx

Load rule to update alternate hierarchy with shared members more than once

I have a aso cube with an alternate hierarchy that is not stored because the shared members appear more than once. Below is how my alternate hierarchy looks.
Dept
Class
VolumeLevel
StoreNum
where StoreNum is the shared member.
I build the cube using eis every weekend. The VolumeGroup changes everyday, so I was thinking of using a sql load rule to update the outline everyday. Assuming that the data and the aggregation does not get cleared. Is it possible to do it using sql load rule?
Thanks,

You can check here if you are satisfying the conditions for creating shared members under the Hierarchy (refer to Alternate Hierarchies). Plz note that rules for shared members are different in ASO world.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?acrtapdb.html
Otherwise there is no reason why you should not be able to create a shared member.
I am able to create a hierarchy using a sample file like this ->
EN_MAIN, EN_500000
EN_500000, EN_49999
EN_ALT, C_500000
C_500000, EN_49999
ENTITY (Multiple Hierarchies Enabled)
|-EN_MAIN (Stored)
|--EN_500000
|---EN_49999
|-EN_ALT (Stored)
|--C_500000
|---EN_49999 (Shared)
The rule file has only "Allow Property Changes" on.
Thanks,
Sunil

Smartview: shared members on level o has a prefix of level 1

Hi,
I'm using smartview 11.1.2.3. I have a dimension with multiple parallel hierarchies: level1a->level0, level1b->level0, level1c->level0,
as a result the level 0 members which apears below level1b and level1c are shared members. when I'm "zooming in" in"smartview" from
level1b/level1c, the shared members apears as level1a.level0 or level1b.level0. (zooming in from level1a gives a correct result ->level0),
did someone encounter this issue?
thanks,
Yuval

Yuval check this Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: Smart View issues with alternate Hierarchy - Surprises in Essbase Part V
Seems like something changed (maybe from a patch in 11.1.2.2, not sure about the patch because I've a vanilla 11.1.2.2 with this issue) from 11.1.2.2

Shared Hierarchy for DTS members

Hi,
Is it possible to create alternate hierarchy (Shared Member) for DTS members in planning application.
I am using Hyperion 11.1.2.1 version.

Hi Amit,
Thanlks for your reply. But Iam facing some problem while creating it as below.
Whan I am creating a DTS shared member directly under period dimention (Sibling to YearTotal) I am able to create it. But when I am trying to create under alternate hierarchy, I am getting the following error.
"You cannot add or modify the main hierarchy members to the alternate hierarchy under time periods. Check the Administrator's Guide for more information"

Best practices for sharing iPhoto libraries across multiple Macs

I have a pair of iMacs running 10.6.x. and iPhoto 11 connected via Ethernet to an Airport Extreme. I am looking for a way to share my iPhoto library between the two Macs.
I found an Apple Support note on the topic (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198) which states that a disk image is a supported location for a shared iPhoto library (with limitations acceptable to me) and it strikes me that this would be a way of hosting a shared iPhoto library onto a NAS device.
Am I missing a simpler solution or, more importantly, am I missing any blindingly obvious caveats? I'd love to hear from anybody who has tried this (successfully or otherwise) or anybody who has a better idea. I haven't bought a NAS device yet, so I'm open to alternative suggestions.
Specific requirements:
Members of my family use either one of a pair of iMacs.
The only user who edits the iPhoto library is me and I only need read/write access from one machine.
iPhoto library access limited to one user at a time is acceptable and practical in my case.

Easiest:
If the other users only get to see the Library then just use iPhoto Sharing.
Enable sharing in the iPhoto Preferences on the Host machine, then go to the other macgine and in the same location enable 'Look for Shared Libraries'
Other forms of sharing will give the users read/write access to the Library.
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
Regards
TD
