Asking a question twice owing to a business rule

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have to ask for the new value of a Number attribute in the same interview as soon I have already answered it depending on a business rule.
e.g. consider the following
The application form is complete if
The applicant's age is known
{The applicant's age is a Number}*(but a hypothetical business rule is: if the age is under 18, ask the question again)*
i.e.
Interview 1:
What is applicant age: *20*
The application form is completeInterview 2:
What is applicant age: *15*
What is applicant age: *13*
The application form is completeInterview 3:
What is applicant age: *12*
What is applicant age: *12*
The application form is completeIs there a suitable workaround.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Idea 1:+ Use a warning rule like:
Warning("You've stated that your age is under 18.  If this is correct, press the Submit button.") if
the applicant's age < 18
This will cause a warning message to appear on the screen, but (unlike an error event) it will allow the user to continue the interview.
Idea 2:+ Create a second age attribute. If the value of the first age attribute is under 18, ask the second. Of course, this creates a risk of having inconsistent data (like your scenario 2), so you would need additional rules to resolve the inconsistency.
I'd go with the first approach, personally.

  • Needs to consolidate twice after updating a business rule

    Hi All,
    I created a business rule to pull an nonconsolidated entity to an consolidated entity without realizing an existing rule is doing the same thing but using the parent instead. This cause the consolidation process to do it twice.I stopped the rule, added a new nonconsolidated entity and a new rule going to the same consolidated entity. This way the history data wouldn't be impacted. I would assumed that because I stopped the first rule that causing the data to impact twice I don't have the same problem but once I tested it, it is still doing the same thing. I am using HS.ImpactStatus on the BR. Please see below:
    Old to stop the rule:  
    'case "global_chain"
         'HS.ImpactStatus "E#Global_Chain_Corp"
    New rule:
    case "global_chain_corpnc"
         HS.ImpactStatus "E#Global_Chain_Corp
    any ideas why still need to consolidated twice?
    thanks
    sandy

    Hi Sandy,
    HFM is calculating the entities based on the order in the hierarchy structure.
    I assume that you have this issue because entity global_chain_corpnc is calculated after entity Global_Chain_Corp and as a result Global_Chain_Corp will end up as impacted.
    Based on my understanding HFM will:
         On the first consolidation:
         1.1) Calculate Global_Chain_Corp
         1.2) Calcuate global_chain_corpnc which will result in Impacting Global_Chain_Corp
         On the second consolidation
         2.1) Calculate Global_Chain_Corp but not calcuate global_chain_corpnc because it is already calculated from the first consolidation

  • Cannot select Planning outline in Business Rules

    Hi Everyone,
    I am not being able to select the planning outline while developing business rules (but I can select the Essbase Outline). Whenever I expand the Planning node, an error pops up the details of which says "Error connecting to Essbase server machinename/testapp." There is a details button which says: "Could not log into Planning "Detail:Could not log in to Planning Server".
    Can anyone help me out. I am not being able to view the rules in the planning UI (and consequently cannot attach them to Forms)

  • HOW TO ADD BUSINESS RULES

    HI EVERY ONE,
      I HAVE A REQUIREMENT WORKING ON MM , I HAVE SOME BUSINESS RULES IN FUNCTIONAL DESIGN DOCUMENT AND I NEED TO WRITE THE TECH DESIGN . MY QUESTION IS HOW TO ADD BUSINESS RULES IN TECH SPEC. EXAMPLE I HAVE FINAL DUE DATE AS BUSINESS RULE i.e,
    Final Due Date = Baseline Date + Maximum Day Term
    If Clearing Date is = Final Due Date = Invoice is Paid-On Time
    If Clearing Date is < Final Due Date = Invoice is Paid Early.
    If Clearing Date is > Final Due Date = Invoice is Paid Late
       I have the data available for Final Due date from R3 .
    So after creating the Info Object( characteristic), where can I add this formula for that Z INFO OBJECT ?  I have total of 5 business rules like this in my funtional doc
    Help will be appreciated . Points will be assigned if my problem solved...
    thanks

    Hi Harish,
    With the assumptions:
    1. You are using a BI 2004s system
    2. The fields Baseline Date, Clearing Date & Maximum Day Term are being sourced from R/3
    The rules can be coded into the End Routine in the Transformation.
    If you are using a BW 3.x system, this logic can be coded in the Start Routine at the Transfer Rules or the Start Routine at the Update Rules.
    Hope this helps.

  • I want to ask a question but is it supposed to go in this "Ask Your Question" field or should this really be a synopsis or a tersely worded teaser, like a "subject" line?

    Oh.
    When I pushed the "Ask your question of the community" I got this empty box. But I've already asked my question. Should I copy and paste it into this box?
    > I want to ask a question but is it supposed to go in this "Ask Your Question" field or should this really be a synopsis or a tersely worded teaser, like a "subject" line?<
    There. Now I have asked the same question, which is of questionable value, for sure, twice. So, if someone answers it, they will get twice the points. Right? Or is there another box for that? Should I paste the question into another box? Twice? 
    I've been around here for a l-o-n-g time, longer than ol' BenB by several years, so you'd think I'd know better.
    Maybe I do.

  • Ask your question.APPLE WEB SITE IS SLOW

    I'm on apple support page,I ask a question,10sec later the page comes up. I click on a question and 5 sec later the tiny circular spins letting me know it's looking for the page and then 5 sec later the page opens. Anything and every thing I do the apple web site takes about 10sec or longer every time I click go.
    A lot of times if I click twice and some times just once I get a pop up telling me Apple is not responding. 
    I thought it was verizon service but I just got charter and it's the same way. Any Ideas?? 
    I just went down this page to find out where the best place on apple is to put my question and I clicked the box WiFi and 5 sec later the check mark showed up.

    I actualy had Verizon shut off and removed there security from my p/c and I'm in awe. My p/c is fast and I no longer have trouble with turning pages. I was wrong about charter.com it's who I have now and I'm not haveing trouble with slow int and clicking on the next web page is fast.
    At first it was the same thing w/charter but I still had verizon. I wanted to see if charter was better before I got rid of Verizon but I got speed only after I called Verizon and had them shut me off and then I got rid of there security. 
    I HOPE THIS HELPS.

  • Would like to ask 2 questions to a member of

    Hello, I am a client of the Adobe Creative Cloud and I have 2 websites made by “Muse” and hosted by Business Catalyst (http://hymenoptera.businesscatalyst.com/ and http://cpnsittelles.businesscatalyst.com/). I would like to ask 2 questions to a member of the staff:
    1/ I would like to change my email address of subscription, so Adobe told me that I have to cancel my present account and create a new one : would it be still possible to access the websites with the new account and the new email address ?
    2/ The websites are limited to 1 Go. It is enough for one of my websites but it will quickly be insufficient for the first one (hymenoptera) whose principal purpose is to put all my courses to download for my students (I am a teacher). I would like how it is possible to increase the storage space.
    Thank you very much.

  • HT1933 new computer authorized asking security questions have 25.00 ready to buy now!!!!

    I have deauthorized newer PC and authorized $25.00 can't buy online via store asking security questions tried twice locks out>>>>>

    You will be asked 2 of your security questions the first time that you try to buy something on a new computer or deive. If you don't know their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Question about Business Rule Naming

    Hi,
    As we know that there is a restriction on number of characters you can enter to name a BR - is there a way that I can have two different names assigned to the same BR in EAS and Planning? Something like an alias? Or if that's something that cant be done then is there a way to make the description show up in the left pane when the Business Rule is associated with the dataform?
    We have rules/scripts that have short names but since the users might not be able to understand them by just looking at those names, was just wondering if we could make it a little simpler for them but either giving it another name (alias) or atleast show up the description?
    Please let me know your thoughts on this.
    ~ Adella

    Hello John,
    The naming restriction on BR is 50 characters. Honestly I didn't try it before until I saw your response and the question you asked me. :)
    I think you pretty much answered my question. Since I can enter upto 50 characters to name a BR I can give longer names which will be easier for the users to understand as well. I just hope that it should not create any other problems.
    I am glad you asked me the question. I always thought that the same restrictions apply on the BR too as with calc scripts.
    Thanks a lot John !

  • What is Ask a question... about?

    It seems that every page in every forum and every thread now has a separate box at the top saying Ask a question...
    Now what is that about, and where will the question appear, if anywhere?
    I dare not try it.

    Tried this with multiple forums, same results.
    OKAY, found what causes my problems.  It is how I use the box.
    When I  enter text the first time no asterisk is added and a list of threads are added below the search box, but before the forum Discussion.  If I click on a thread all search results dissapear.
    IF I HIT ENTER THE SECOND TIME, rather than clicking on a thread, an asterisk is added and then another window is opened with the entire the list of search results.  Clicking on thread here works as normal.
    It does not seem logical to hit enter twice to bring up list. Seems more logical just to click on the thread you want to read.  And if you do, the search function does not work.
    If this is normal to push Enter twice, then a note should be added to make this clear.

  • How do I ask a question to Toshiba?

    I am unable to order a customized U500 laptop (no matter if in US or FR version):
    on Toshiba FRANCE site, they don't sell, they don't show resellers, of course there is no customization.
    French resellers are, either large stores (that never customize anything), or "professional" resellers who sell only to large companies (and who, for reasons none dares to speak about, actually sell at about twice the normal prices and thrice the normal delays)
    Toshiba US site has full and up-to-date customization (and good prices BTW), but doesn't ship to France
    Unfortunately on Toshiba sites I found no way to ask a question to them - this is why in the last 15 years I finally never bought Toshiba, even when they had products that filled my needs and wants.
    Note: For 32 years now I have worked on Standard US systems (US keyboards, US OSes, US programming languages and SDKs, US apps), and I highly prefer US, but I can accept a FR one now that anything US has slowly become harder and harder to buy from France (please don't talk me about UK or "EN" or "International English" or any other actually non-standard system).
    The version I am interested in now is a Toshiba Satellite U500-ST6322 with P8700, Win7 Pro 64bits, 4GB, 500GB, G 210M 512MB DDR3, Realtek b/g/n wireless LAN, Bluetooth® 2.1 EDR, Fingerprint Reader, total price in USA: $1206 (811 EUR). Of course I am prepared to pay a (reasonably) higher price to have it delivered in France.
    The problem is: I found no way to speak to Toshiba. Are they really willing to sell something?

    Have you tried the Corporate Offices at (949) 583-3000?
    But the sales aspect of this is only part of the problem you will encounter.  You will essentially be purchasing a laptop with no warranty as they won't honor the USA warranty over there.  You would have to ship it to the USA for any warranty work PLUS you would need to have an address in the USA for them to send it to afterwards as they will NOT ship if overseas.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

    Beware,  after updating to the new version of itunes and trying to purchase a song it thinks it is a new computer and asks security questions that you never setup.  Real bad! Still do not know how to reset security questions with new version of Itunes.
    Any Ideas?

    You don't need to buy only from the App Store. If only you knew how to change settings in the security pane of your Mac... You would know that you can change this setting. But of course, you don't need a "babysitter" to make things easy for you.
