Arranging form folders in hyperion planning alphabetically

Is there a way to arrange the form folders in hyperion planning alphabetically? Can we, and if we can is it the only way, sort the folder names in the relational tables in back-end?
Or is there a way in the planning web to do the same?
I would like to know if there is a second option as I might be adding new folders periodically and would need to re-arrange the folders alphabetically each time.
Thanks,
Pawan.

Hi,
We tried doing it the LCM way - delete all folder and LCM back all in - but it didn't work. mostly it was like the folders were getting in, in the same order they were created. It is only in LCM that the folders are coming in alphabetical order. (LCM is designed to internally sort and show up - i suppose).
Naming the folder with numerals first would need us to rename the folders again and again - but it was the same as creating a new folder and moving the forms manually in alphabetical order by ourselves.
Hope Oracle does something to put in a sort button in the folder administration.
Thanks,
pawan.

Improve web form performance of Hyperion Planning

Hi all,
I am not sure whether anyone has tried the recommended method from Oracle to compress the web forms used in Hyperion Planning so as to improve the network perfromance?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_hp_admin/frameset.htm?/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_hp_admin/hpamin-19-17.htm
Slow Performance When Opening Data Forms Using a Dial-Up Connection
Scenario:
Opening a data form using a slow network connection (for example, with a modem) takes a long time.
Solution:
You can significantly increase the network bandwidth when opening data forms by modifying the web.xml file, as described in this section. This solution compresses by approximately 90% the data stream sent from the Planning server to the client.
Note: If you are using a WebLogic (all supported versions) Web application server, complete the second procedure, which is specific to WebLogic. If you are using any other Web application server, complete the first procedure, which contains general instructions.
To modify the web.xml file to improve performance, for any Web application server except WebLogic:
1 With a text editor, open the web.xml file, located in HyperionPlanning.ear or HyperionPlanning.war.
2 After the tag </description> and before the tag <listener>, insert the following lines:
<filter>
<filter-name>HspCompressionFilter</filter-name> <filter-
class>com.hyperion.planning.HspCompressionFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>compressionThreshold</param-name>
<param-value>2048</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>1</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>HspCompressionFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/EnterData.jsp</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
3 Save the web.xml file.
If you are using WebLogic, you must manually modify the .ear file and redeploy it for the Web application server.
To improve performance with a WebLogic application server:
1 Unzip the HyperionPlanning.ear file to C\:ear, for example.
2 Unzip Hyperion.war under C:\ear to C:\war.
3 With a text editor, open the C:war\WEB-INF\web.xml file and modify it using the instructions in step 2 in the preceding procedure.
4 Compress the content in C:\war to C:\ear\HyperionPlanning.war.
5 Compress the content in C:\ear into C:ear\HyperionPlanning.ear
6 Deploy the new HyperionPlanning.ear for the WebLogic Web application server.

Hi,
Yes we did this with a bank which had branches connected to the servers via dial-up. They were complaining about the amount of data being transferred in between branches and servers. This has worked well over there and increased the data transfer performance considerably. However, nowadays the performance bottlenecks are not generally due to the amount of data being transferred over the network but the javascript components that should run on client and heavy calculation/data and report creation processes.

Web form path in hyperion planning

Hi All,
I am trying to export dataform,but I am not able to find the path of the Dataforms(I noticed the path of the dataforms in some ex like C:Hyperion\Products\planning\Formname.xml).But I didn't find any xml file regrding this.
thanks in advance..

Hello,
The other thing you can try is to export the dataform you need with the FormDefUtil.cmd that is in Planning.
In order to do this:
+formdefutil [-f:passwordFile]import|exportfilename|formname|-all server name user name application+
An example of exporting a form would be:
FormDefUtil.cmd export Form1 localhost admin APP1
"When you export data form definitions, the utility creates an XML file in the current directory and logs errors in FormDefUtil.log in the MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/diagnostics/logs/planning directory. You can copy the utility to any directory and launch it from there to save files to another directory."
Hope this helps.
Regards

Create Filter in Hyperion Planning

I have created a Data Form using Classic Hyperion Planning Application. I want to have few cells in this data form having Read only access while others have Write access. How can I do this?
For ex: I have 10 users, some of them will have write access to some of the "Accounts" and "Period(Q1, Q2)" Dimension members while they will have read access to all the other members.
I have externalised my Essbase Server to Shared Services. I don't know how to assign filters to users using User Management Console.
Thanks in advance.

HI RahulS
Wont this feature will make a particular cell read-only for all the users? My requirement is to make the Data Form Read-Only for some specific users.
Hi John,
I cant find the Assign Access option in my Accounts or Time Period dimension which were created by default.
Is there any way to enable the security for the built-in dimension?
Open Question:
While i was trying RahulS's suggestion i came across an error which i cant resolve myself. Requesting you to help me out in this regard........when i try to open the data form i come across this message "Unable to obtain a connection to Hyperion Essbase. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator".
I checked the hspsys_properties table in the database and the info are correct but when i try to query the table it says "The table or view does not exist"
When i check the Essbase log it says "Database Plan1 does not exist" though i have changed the name of the Plan1 database.
Please help....I am badly stuck.

Not able to see data in Hyperion Planning data forms.

Hi ,
I created Hyperion planning EPMA application and loaded data in to it. But I am unable to see data in my data forms? Please give me solution for this?

Hi,
Here there are 2 things, once your epma heirarchy is ready did you deploy it against your planning App ? and incase if you haven't deployed your planning application, then old outline would be existing in Essbase and if you load data for old outline it will still take into but when you deploy the database gets restructured and older data gets restructured/removed.
Before going onto that level first check if your load data to essbase completed successfully. and did you load data for the combinations on dataform ? ? Try manually inputting a number through data form and submit and do a refresh to see if value comes up. ? Check your data form settings , if you have enables suppress missing rows/blocks.
Thanks

NetRetryCount and netRetryInterval error in Hyperion Planning web form

User is getting this error when trying to save data on a web form. The error happens intermittenly and on different forms. It is difficult to pinpont the problem, as it does not happen consistently on the same form and as the administrator, I have never been able to replcate if on my computer and under the admin role. It actually causes the Hyperion Planning service to crash and we have to restart the service. The most recent time this occurred there was a rule that was running on save. We have removed the run on save for now. Does anyone know what setting need to be adjusted to eliminate this error?

Hi
You can probably try changing the value for netRetryCount and netRetryInterval in Essbase.cfg. Consider changing NetDelay too.
Essbase.cfg file is loacted in:
$HYPERION_HOME/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer/bin/Essbase.cfg
Thank You

Copy and paste cell content of web form of Hyperion Planning

Our end users encountered performance issues in using the web forms of Hyperion Planning. We have some large web form with 60 columns and 100 rows i.e. around 6000 cells. When end user move around the cell they feel a slow response in the web form especially when copy and paste some cell content from one row to another, or a few cells from one position to other position.
Anyone got similar experience in using web form? Also we understand that Hyperion design will check the cell content of each cell and generate a SQL query to the backend metadata database. It is quite time consuming and waste CPU resource because most of the time our end user will not keep the text information under each cell. We have consulted Oracle team and understand that we cannot disable the cell content checking via SQL query.
Any workaround solution exists to reduce or remove the performance issue in cell content copy and paste?
Thanks!

Hi,
We had faced the same issue a few years ago. One of our geeks had done a change in either Enterdata.js or Enterdata.jsp which disabled form cell validation. I don't currently have the code with me but it wasn't a big change really, remarking a function could be doing the trick.
I don't think this is officially recommended by Oracle though.
AlpThanks for your advice. We will try to locate the enterdata.jsp and enterdata.js and found out where the SQL being executed.We found out the Enterdata.js under the deployment directory of Weblogic. However it is over 400KB size and many many lines of codes. We think that it is very difficult to locate where should be customized to remove the SQL checking on cell content.

Hyperion Planning form change not flowing through to Smart View

Hyperion Planning 11.1.2 and Smaer View 11.1.2.
I have a user that installed SV yesterday but has been using planning for years. I made a change on his planning form (just added an account) and he does not see this change in smart view. However, he does see the change when logged into Hyperion Planning in his form.
One strange thing about this is the change shows for all hierarchies except for ones that he has loaded data to. So, for a hierarchy that has no data, it shows the form in SV how it is in planning. If he loads data to the hier, the form automatically switches back to how it was before the change, even when the planning form itself hasn't been changed.
Here is what we have tried:
Rebooted machine
removed user security completely from plannng and added back
checked for ghost instance in task manager or excel
Opened new Workbook and opened form fresh
remvoed connection, closed excel and all instances, new connection and open form fro mblank slate
Nothing seems to be working. And I see the form how it is in planning. HE does not, he sees it the "old way" and ony for hier points that have data submitted to them. So, literally switches the view based on the POV.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Sounds like in the smart list set up you set "#Missing Data Form Label:" to "Data Form Setting" change it to "Drop Down Setting" and it should be alright.

Hyperion Planning customization on getting data from RDBMS posting to form

Hi, gurus,
I am having requirement to retrieve some data from RDBMS and put it on a particular form at Hyperion Planning. We had customized a bit on the same form with modifying its jsp file by adding in some access control upon various user login and add graphic icon. Could anyone share some light on this POC and my understanding is the data will go through ODI and pass to a temporary table and then update to the Essbase table, please comment and point me to the reference on Hyperion planning customization.
Thanks,
Fei

Hi,
You shouldn't need to go down the route of customizing planning, I would say only go down that route if all the options are not feasible.
In theory you should be able to use ODI to retrieve and transform the data from a relational table, then load it directly into essbase.
The planning form will query the data in essbase and present the data in the grid.
Cheers

Forcing use of Supporting Detail in Hyperion Planning data form

Hi everyone.
We're using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.2 and for one particular data form, I'd like force users to HAVE TO use Supporting Detail on specific cells. I think there might be a way to do this using custom JavaScript functions and modifying the form code but I am wondering if there is a way to do this without code on the form. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

A quick simple example
function customCellEnterPre(row, col, cell) {
     if(row == 3 && col ==1)
          doSupportingDetail();
     return true;
Cheers

Strange Hyperion Planning data form bug...

Hi all,
I'm having a very strange problem on a data form in Hyperion planning. When trying to input a number against a percentage type member, after pressing enter it sometimes displays as the number I put in - 0.00000000000000001 !!
So, for example, I input 0.47%, hit enter, and it changes to 0.469999999999999999 in the form. Even after I save the form, it continues to display this way. This only seems to happen for specific numbers - i.e. if I input 0.46%, press enter, it displays correctly as 0.46%. But I have this problem with 0.47% and other specific numbers, across all data forms, regardless of the member intersection where they're entered.
A retrieve in smartview shows it correctly as 0.0047, so I suspect it is not a problem with how the data in being input, but rather how it is being displayed by Planning.
Has anyone ever come across this or anything similar before? Any solutions that come to mind?
I'm using EPM 11.1.2.2. Have tested with Mozilla and IE - problem occurs with both.
Thanks.

Essbase represents numbers as double.
Go through this document to understand data precision (even though it is for 6.5, i think it is still valid)

Hyperion Planning Data form alias issue

Hi,
I am using Hyperion Planning version 11.1.2.2. I created data form and after member selection is over I selected alias in dimension properties. But when I am opened the data form I see member names but not alias. I want to see alias name in the data form instead of member name. Please give me solution to this?

Hi
In the later releases you now as a user override the data form setting with your own personal user preferences.
Navigate to FIle->User Preferences and then Planning. In there within the display properties you will see an area for Alias settings. There is an option for member name/alias display. Make your selection there.
Thanks

Formatting header rows in data form in hyperion planning

Hello Friends,
I want to format header rows in data form in hyperion planning (formatting like Bold, Italic etc...) Is there any way to do that?

I could be wrong. That's why i thought i should post this one.
This is from 11.1.2.2.300 readme
Customizing the Style of Header Cells in Forms
Applying a bold style to all forms
1. From HyperionPlanning.war\custom, open HspCustom.css and insert this class code:
customheaderStyle
Font-family:<font>;
Font-size:<size>;
Font-weight:bold;
For example, to use bolded garamond 14 as the style for header cells you would specify:
customheaderStyle
Font-family:garamond;
Font-size:14;
Font-weight:bold;
You can also change the font and the font size in the same portion of code.
Perform the tasks in "Registering Customized Skins in Applications".
Applying a bold style to one form
Determine the ID of the form to customize by running this query in which ‘<FORM_NAME’ is the name of the form:
Select object_id AS FORM_ID,object_name AS FORM_NAME from hsp_object
where object_name like ‘<FORM_NAME>’
For example, to modify a form called "1.30 Per Payor – Metrics”, you would run this query:
Select object_id AS FORM_ID,object_name AS FORM_NAME from hsp_object where object_name like "1.30 Per Payor-Metrics"
When the ID is returned, create a css class in HspCustom.css using the following format. HspCustom.css is in HyperionPlanning.war\custom.
“customheaderStyle_<FORM_ID>”
Set font-weight in .customheaderStyle as bold as shown below. You can also change the font and the font size in the same portion of code.
customheaderStyle
Font-family:<font>;
Font-size:<size>;
Font-weight:bold;
To use different styles on individual forms, create a css class for each form.
so there is a way to create custom headers

Hyperion Planning forms 11.1.2 Color coding

hi,
I was wondering if we can change the display colors in Hyperion Planning forms. Currently for read only cells Hyperion 11.1.2 forms are displayed in grey but our users would like to display them in green as it is used to do in hyperion Planning 9.3.1.
Please let me know any ideas upon this.
Thanks

You could have a look at the customizing section of the admin guide, maybe the changing the CSS properties :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/frameset.htm?ch13.html

Can't open form and dimension on Hyperion Planning

Hi,
I am working on Hyperion version 11.1.1.3 on my client's environment (Microsoft Windows Server 2003).
There are two servers: one is for database and essbase, the other one is for reporting, foundation, and Planning.
Since a month ago this customer experiences this problem:
when login using admin user to Hyperion Planning (port 19000 and 8300 both can be used), the menu on the top is loaded but the rest are blank.
I tried to open form by using the left menu but also doesn't work, still blank. I also managed to try open the dimension, it also can't be loaded
restarted service and server also done, but doesn't work as well.
nb: this error only occurs on admin id, I tried to create another user account and give the same provision with admin, the id works well, no problem and no blank case.
anyone could please advice what happened and solution, I give my thanks to you.

Hi Rahul,
thanks for your reply. I couldn't find the table you mentioned.
In my planning table schema, there are:
- HSPSYS_ACTION
- HSPSYS_APP_CLUSTER_DTL
- HSPSYS_APPLICATION
- HSPSYS_CLUSTER
- HSPSYS_DATASOURCE
- HSPSYS_PI_INFO
- HSPSYS_PROPERTIES
which one contains the value that you mentioned above?
many thanks.
