@allocate function in Essbase Help

Hi All,
We are trying to allocate data from the parent to its children and are using the script below. But it doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong here?
Fix(Year, NorthEast parent location, Account, Scenario)
"jan" = @ALLOCATE(1000,@children("NorthEast parent location"),Scenario,,share);
ENDFIX
There are 5 locations under NE, but only 2 has data. What I'm expecting is that the two locations data will change based on the percent and the total will be equal to "1000". But this doesn't happen.. please see below.
ORIGINAL DATA
LOC1 25 (25%)
LOC2 75 (75%)
LOC3 0
LOC4 0
LOC5 0
TOTAL 100
EXPECTED AFTER THE SCRIPT
LOC1 250
LOC2 750
LOC3
LOC4
LOC5
WHAT I GET AFTER RUNNING THE SCRIPT ABOVE
LOC1 250
LOC2 231
LOC3
LOC4
LOC5
Thank you.

Hi,
Are you sure there is no dynamic calc attached to that ?
Also , refer to this for more info :

6.5 vs 6.2 Dynamic calc member in basis of @allocate function

I just converted from 6.2 to 6.5 and have run across a problem in the @allocate function. It appears that it does not resolve the dynamic calc member. Formula is:"Curr Fcst"=@ALLOCATE("SumInput"->"Curr Fcst", @remove(@descendants(@currmbr(Accounts)),@Descendants(@CURRMBR(Accounts),-1)), "Consolidated"->"Curr Fcst"->&LactlmonTD, ,share); The problem is that &LactlmonTD - a substitution variable is "MAY YTD", which is a dynamic calc member. The formula works fine for a stored member "May" if you want to allocate based on last month only. This formula worked in 6.2, but does not work in 6.5 that I can see. Any ideas short of storing the data for YTD? I am logging it as a bug with hyperion.

OK - Hyperion technical support has solved the issue with an "Undocumented feature". I needed to add the following statement to my Essbase.cfg file:CALCFGDEPOPT FALSEThe explaination was as follows:"This is basically to turn off EVENT 28 in Essbae 6.5. In Essbase 6.2 EVENT28 needs to be turned on manually in the config file, while in Essbase 6.5it is automatically turned on."

To expand the filter functions in essbase

Hi All,
Please help me to expand the filter functions in essbase like @LIST, @ IDESCENDENTS, @DESCENDENTS , @REMOVE. My expected resulted is the member names in the outline that is indicated by the filter.
This is to get the member names to which a filter definition represents.
For example
If A has three children A1, A2 and A3 and i have a function @IDESCENDENTS(A), then i need a result as A1, A2 and A3.
This is just an example, I am trying for complex one.

Go through
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_techref/funcs/funclist.htm
There are many commands to select members in a dimension. You can select particular generation using @genmbs anr level members using @levmbre or you can use @relative. You can tag uda if you want to select members randomly.
Technical reference is the best place to start about calculation commands.

Mass Allocate function and Entity Dimension. Special treatment?

Hello all,
We're having an issue with mass allocate and the entity dimension, but we are not sure if that is the expected behavior or we have another sort of problem.
We are trying to use the mass allocate function in a Planning web form, using proportional spread. Have tested it across several dimensions (both custom and default) and in all of them it works the way we expect to: It increases existing values in proportion to the target values.
However, when it spreads form superior to inferior levels in entity dimension, it is another story. It spreads evenly across all the members, doesn't care if target has missing or has a value. I have tried looking at the code it generates, but I'm not able to spot why it behaves like this. I have read the documentation but do not find any reference to this.
Is this a expected behavior or do we have a problem with some property on entity dimension?
Needless to say, it is the first time we try to use mass allocate.
We are using planning 11.1.1.3
Thanks in advance for you help.

Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when connected to a Visual C++ application

Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when
connected to a Visual C++ application
I use the RH_ShowHelp API command to connect a HTML Help file
(.chm file generated by RoboHelp Word X 5) to my Visual C++
application. My application is able to call up this HTML help file
in context-sensitive mode and everything is working great in the
Contents and Index panels EXCEPT when I click on List Topics (after
I enter a KEYWORD for search) in the Search panel.
I got an error that said “Unhandled exception in
xxxx.exe.(HHCTRL.OCX):0xC00000FD: Stack overflow”
I am able to execute this .chm file by itself and the search
function works well in this case. I am using HHActiveX.dll that is
created on 2/23/04. Is this the correct version?? Any advice what
to do here??

Hi agschin and welcome to the RH forums. The hhactivex.dll
file is not used by the search function so you can rule that our.
Have you tried recompiling and seeing if the problem still happens?
You can also start the Bug Hunter feature in RH - View > Output
View and then select the Bug Hunter button - and see if that throws
up any clues.

Error while creating Custom Defined Functions in Essbase

Hi All, I am trying to create CDF(Custom Defined Functions) in Essbase. Iwant to create a function which take list of child member andreturn the first child. For this, i have created a java file called"ChildAccess.java" which contains the following code: public class ChildAccess { public static char GetFirstMember(char [] members) { return members[0]; } } I have compiled and made jar file called"ChildAccess.jar" and pasted it at"ARBORPATH/java/udf". Then i restarted the Essbase Serverand run the following MaxL command to register the function create or replace function '@ChildAccess' as 'ChildAccess.GetFirstMember' spec '@ChildAccess(memberRange)' comment 'adds list of input members'. Till here i am not getting any error but when i am using thisfunction in my calc script as given below FIX(@ChildAccess(@CHILDREN("Abc"))) it gives the following error "Error:1200414 Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 2)"argument[1] may not have size[6] in function[@CHILDREN]" NOTE: The SIZE[6] is giving the no. of child in member"ABC". Thanks in Advance Arpit

If you want to use the CDF in a FIX statement you need to make sure that it returns a member name rather than a number: public class ChildAccess { public static String GetFirstMember(String[] members) { return members[0]; } } I prefer to define the function against a specific application rather than globally because you only need to restart the application in order to pick-up any modifications to the .jar file. So the MaxL function definition would be: create or replace function appname.'@_GETFIRSTMEMBER' as 'ChildAccess.GetFirstMember(String[])'; and in the calculation script the FIX statement would become: fix ( @member( @_GetFirstMember( @name( @children( "Abc" ) ) ) ) ) This looks a little messy so you can use a macro to simplify it: create or replace macro appname.'@GETFIRSTMEMBER'(single) as '@member( @_GETFIRSTMEMBER( @name( @@1 ) ) )' SPEC "@GETFIRSTMEMBER(memberRange)"; and then the FIX statement could be written: fix( @getfirstmember( @children( "PRODUCT" ) ) )

The InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and where can I find a description of this function?

the InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and what does she do?and where can I find a description of this function? Can i use this function with visualc++ 6.0?

The InitCVIRTE function is in the CVI run time engine (cvirte.dll)..not part of NI-DAQ.
Applications written or using CVI may call this function..
How are you running into this ?
From the CVI help...
This function performs initialization of the CVI Run-Time Engine. It is needed only in executables or DLLs that are linked using an external compiler. Otherwise, it is harmless.
It should be called in your main, WinMain, or DllMain, function. The parameter values you should pass depend on which of these three functions you are calling InitCVIRTE from. The following examples show how to use InitCVIRTE in each case.
If you are using main, your code should be as follows.
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
/* your other code */
return 0;
If you are using WinMain, your code should be as follows.
int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpszCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
/* your other code */
return 0;
If you are creating a DLL, you must call InitCVIRTE and CloseCVIRTE in your DllMain function, as in the following.
int __stdcall DllMain (void *hinstDLL, int fdwReason,
void *lpvReserved)
if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
if (InitCVIRTE (hinstDLL, 0, 0) == 0)
return 0; /* out of memory */
/* your other ATTACH code */
else if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
/* your other DETACH code */
CloseCVIRTE ();
return 1;
NOTE: The prototype for InitCVIRTE is in cvirte.h, not
utility.h.
NOTE: In CVI 4.0.1, this function was expanded from one to
three parameters. Executables and DLLs that were
created using the one-parameter version of the function
will continue to work properly.
/*-------------------- Prototype ---------------------*/
int InitCVIRTE (void *HInstance, char *Argv[], void *Reserved);

I do have a 2008 version of Microsoft Office installed to save money, but that shouldn't affect things. I can't figure out the "rename" function either. Help?

Oh, and I also reset my NVRAM, my computer hasn't frozen again yet, so I'm not sure if it has made a difference.

Try double clicking your HD icon, then click on your HD Volume (under devices in the left side bar), then click on Library you should be able to find StartUpItems there.

HT203175 While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the erro message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call. HELP!!!

While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the error message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.
Help???

Just responded to this in another thread (note we used Captivate 7 so it might be a different error).
We found that when we created files with embedded swf files that existed ABOVE widgets in the timeline, when someone else tried to open our file it broke/we got the runtime error. The original person could still open it for a time, but eventually the cache would clear and they couldn't.
However, if we ensured swf files are BELOW widgets in the source files, it didn't break. In fact, if we found one that was breaking and got the author to move the swf file on the timeline, it would start working for others.
STRANGE! Let me know if this works for you to!

Problem with time series functions against Essbase

Hello all,
I'm having problems with displaying correct results when using AGO function in OBIEE. I'm using Essbase 9.3.1 and OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1. Logical column named MAGO1 is created in repository like this: IFNULL( AGO("Measure01", Time.Month, 1), 0). In Answers when I use columns Measure01,MAGO1,Time.Month with filter just on Time.Month column results are OK. When I put another filter, for example Dim1.Gen2,Dim1, MAGO1 returns zero as a result. But when I put Dim1.Gen2,Dim1 also as a column and as a filter results are OK. I don't want to have Dim1.Gen2,Dim1 as a column but just in a filter. Also hiding column is not an option. I want to have grouped results and not multiple rows for one month if I remove filter Dim1.Gen2,Dim1. Filter is selected on prompt in dashboard and can be some value from Dim1.Gen2,Dim1 or All Choices. Reason for this is that I'm using this answers report as a data source for BI Publisher so additional formatting on answers report isn't helpful.
I am suspecting that something is wrong with hierarchy it time dimension or other dimensions. Or maybe MDX is not generated right ? If you need more details regarding my repository or configuration please feel free to ask. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
D.

I am using BI Publisher and Answers report as data source. Making changes like hiding column or displaying results as pivot table won't help in this case.
Anyway I did discover something else. When I put in report logical columns with ago function they return correct results. But when I add additional logical column with todate function all logical columns with ago and todate function return zero as a result. Also this happens only when result is more than one row. If you have only one row, for example grand total level of dimension, than result is OK, but if you have more rows on a lower level than zero values appear.
Some columns that are used in filter do not appear as columns in report. This is the main problem. If I put all columns that are filtered in report than the result is OK. But I don't want to do this because I want to have option to select values on dashboard prompt on different levels.
Hope this narrows the problem.
Thanks,
D.

Error Using DataExport function in Essbase

Hi there,
I'm using Hyperion Essbase version 9.3.1.
And rite now I'm trying to export data in Essbase by the new CalcScript function DataExport directly to SQL server.
I have 11 dimensions in my Essbase application. I did create 10 fields in SQL server for storing members information and 12 other fields for periodic data. Just, the time when I export data, all the rows returned with only 7 fields for members information and 12 data fields for periodic data.
Can anyone help? Please help!
Best regards,
Antony

Antony,
So when you use a calc script like the below:
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
     DataExportLevel ALL ;
     DataExportDynamicCalc OFF ;
     DataExportRelationalFile ON ;
     DataExportOverwriteFile ON ;
DATAEXPORT "File" "," "b:\exports\jan.txt" "#MI";
Your export works just as you want? (I realize you have lots of other logic, but for the sake of argument use the above).
And then when you take the exact same code except that the DATAEXPORT command now looks like:
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
     DataExportLevel ALL ;
     DataExportDynamicCalc OFF ;
     DataExportRelationalFile ON ;
     DataExportOverwriteFile ON ;
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "cur_sale" "newyork" "admin" "password";
You don't get the same results?
I get the same results regardless. Yes, one is written to a table as defined by the DSN and the other a text file but the contents are exactly the same.
Are you seeing different rows/columns? If so, that would either suggest your table is somehow limiting what gets written to the RDBMS (it would be nice to think that Essbase would log this as an error/fail) or there is a bug in the export. I have not come across this issue.

MONTH and YEAR functions. Please help...

Can anyone tell me why the YEAR and MONTH functions will only accept the format dd-MMM-yyyy (ex. 01-JAN-2009)
The calendar prompt will only retun the format dd/mm/yyy (ex. 01/01/2009). This renders the calender pretty useless.
I am really in need of some help on this. Does anyone know how to get the value returned from the calendar in a prompt into a format that can be used by the YEAR and MONTH functions?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Can you do those things at DB Level.. addition of YEAR and MONTH columns to Table.. because doing CAST to DATE operation will work at DB Level..
Ex: In Answers if you give YEAR(CAST('01-03-2009' AS DATE)), it is erroring out because default allowed date format of BI is different from the one specified.. Though it is issuing correct SQL which is working at DB level.. donno how to change the default format of BI..
So, what I can suggest is an alternative, which is at DB level.. if it is apt for you.. then
Following statement gives you YEAR value..
TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR( cast('01-03-2009' as DATE), 'yyyy'), '9999')
This is the statement taken from Manage Session of BI..
