ASO Time and Periods combined - Dynamic Time Series?

I am looking to do period-to-date calculations in ASO using the method outlined by Gary Crisci but I have Time and Periods combined into one heirarchy.
I have seen suggestions that this can be done, but I cannot find any example code for the calculations.
My MDX skills are not up to the challange yet so I was hoping someone is doing this and could shed some light.
I am exploring the options of hard-coded alternate heirarchies, but data is stored at the day level and users want
the same capability they have in BSO.
Thanks,
Kenneth

You can create the calculated members within the existing time dimension, but it get ugly and probably won't perform great. For starters you will have to create a calculated member with a formula for every stored time member you have. Not too bad for 12 months, but if you ahve years and months in same dim or daily model, its not realistic. That is the beauty of View dimension, a single formula goes a long way.
Other option is to not have alternate roll-ups in time dim - perhaps you can use Attribute dims to simulate the alternate groupings you need.

Using PeriodToDate MDX function in an ASO cube (Dynamic Time Series)

Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2
Since ASO doesn't support Dynamic Time Series (DTS), I am trying to use the "PeriodToDate" MDX function to get MTD and YTD totals. Below is my Time dimension:
Time (Time - Stored)
...I---> 2007
......l---> Q1-2007
.........l---> Jan-2007
............l---> 2007-01-01
............l---> 2007-01-02
............l---> 2007-01-03
.........l---> Feb-2007
.........l---> Mar-2007
......l---> Q2-2007
......l---> Q3-2007
......l---> Q4-2007
Syntax:
PeriodsToDate ( [layer [, member ]] )
I tried many different ways to get the right syntax but it didn't work when I set the formula on member "2007" for YTD totals or on months to get MTD. Any help would be appreciated.

ASO does not have Dynamic Time Series at all (unless something just recently changed)
Period to date functionality has to be managed via MDX formulas and/or alternate roll ups in your time dimension.
Time Balancing does have to be a stored hierarchy, which is what you generally want anyway. The issue you have with Time balancing is that some times if you have an alternate roll up in your time dimension, it can cause problems with Time balancing.
If you want to use Time balancing, I would sugest a single stored time heriarchy and use an anakytic view dimension for the period to date functionality.
You can see a post I have on my blog that talks about this: garycris.blogspot.com
One other thing to mention. If you wan to use built in time balance functionality, you must tag a dimension as Account Type and it will have to be a dynamic dimension.

Time Balance and Time series in ASO

We are building an ASO application and we need Time balance and dynamic time series functionality.
If I go and use the TB functionality in ASO, my Time dimension has to be stored and I cannot put mdx formulas on my members (YTD,QTD,MTD)
I see various threads here and the recommendation is to have a new dimension to view the time series members (gary's blog...tnx for him)
However we cannot afford to have a separate dimension. The time series should be under Time.
How can we go with this?
Please help me with your suggestions/ideas. Thanks for your time.

Any ideas guys?
John, can you please shed some light on this.

ALternation hierachy for Period ROll DYnamic time series.

Hi
What is custom dynamic time series in period dimensions.
How it is to be build ?any insights that would help me to build in the planning application to build custom dynamic series capability.
Please guide me how can this be achieved.
Thanks

Thanks Mehmet that was really helpful.!!
Not sure if you can call it better, but I have developed the following alternate hierarchy at a client and it worked with no issues:
YTD(Jan): Jan (Shared Member)
YTD(Feb): YTD(Jan)+Feb (Both shared members)
YTD(Dec): YTD(Nov)+Dec
We didn't have a QTD hieararchy, but you can use the same logic.
Cheers,
Mehmet
YTD(JAN)+Feb (both are shared members) can you explain this.
SHared member is like a pointer to primary instance of member.that would be great if you can explain this what does both are share members mean?
and alos do these members needed to be set to dynamic ?

Creating Dynamic Time Series in Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management

I am creating Dimensions in Dimension Library for Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management. Please let me know if we can set Dynamic Time Series for HPCM.
I can see DTS Manager option for Period Dimension in Hyperion Planning but this option is not available for Period Dimension in HPCM Application.
Is there any other way to drill down upto weeks level or day level data in Time Series.

I am also facing the same issue. Does we have any option to create Dynamic time series in HPCM. Please let me know.

To build CD's???
What problem does Encore have with DL?
If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

TB Average and Dynamic Time series

Hi,
In our outline, we have Time dimension tagged ad Dynamic Time series.
There few measures which have member formula attached, they are dynamic calc, two pass.
Among these measures which are tagged as TB average and skip missing, we get zero for QTD,YTD on retrieval.
But for other measures which do not have TB average and skip missing, we get values for QTD and YTD.
Please help !!

Just an update on the above query,
I was able to see numbers when I used the attribute dimension.
For eg.-
we have 5 standard dimension and 2 attribute dimensions which are attached to LOB standard dimension.
In excel addin when i retrieve withour taking the attribute dimension, i dont see numbers and when i put the attribute dimension as header, i see numbers.
Why this attribute dimension is making diffrence

Smartview and Dynamic Time Series

All,
I just heard this:
Dynamic Time Series is used in other applications on reports and works as expected in Financial Reporting. However, it does not work correctly with SmartView.
Is this true? You can't pull DTS reports in SmartView? Version 11.1.2.1

Have a read of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/sv_user/sel_dts.htm
or are you saying FR reports in Smart View does not work
Cheers

How to use dynamic time series in formula

I have Time dimension with active Dynamic Time Series for Y-T-D.
I'd like to use it in member formula - e.g. IF (@ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)")) - but this doesn't work as I get error message Unknown variable or member name.
Any idea how to work with dynamic time series members in formula?
Still using Essbase 6.5 X-(.

As Glenn mentioned, I also don't believe you can reference a DTS member in a formula, you would have to calc the YTD. Take a look at the @PTD function to calc Period to date numbers, I believe this function was available in v6.
Having said that, we're assuming you want to calc a ptd number, but your example was based on an IF @ISMBR(). So the question becomes what are you trying to do? Given what I assume your time dim looks like, what would be the difference between @ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)") and @ISMBR("Aug")

Dynamic Time Series in Essbase =/= Workspace

Hi all, I have a question regarding DTS.
I was trying to make changes to Dynamic Time Series to Period dimension in Workspace. I enabled DTS, assigned a generation #, and gave default an alias. After making the changes, I deployed as usual from Application Manager. 100% completed, no errors, all clear in the log.
When I try to retrieve, the change did not take effect. I also checked in EAS, the change wasn't taken place.
I suspected that DTS wasn't installed properly between Workspace and EAS. So to prove that, I went directly into EAS and made the change to DTS. Guess what? It worked!
So in conclusion, does that mean DTS wasn't installed properly? Was my suspicion correct?

I'm assuming that it is an EPMA application.
I've seen DTS not working (was that you?) for an EPMA application earlier.

Dynamic Time Series in Essbase

Hello All,
I am new to Hyperion planning and Essbase development. I would like to implement Dynamic Time Series in Essbase. I could not find any materials where I can understand the concepts of DTS.
So I know I have an Essbase application created in EAS console with Period and Year dimension. How can I implement the DTS for PTD, QTD and YTD?
It would be really helpful If someone could help in understanding and implementing the DTS.
Thanks in Advance

Excel dynamic time series errors

Has anyone bumped into the problem recently that the Dynamic Time Series is not being recognized on some pc's but works fine on another? I have seen this a couple of times and I can't figure out if it is the Excel version or a problem with the add-in. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What do you mean it won't retrieve on some machines?Does it give you an error or just come up with #missing or blank. Or does it calculate but the numbers are wrong.What version on Essbase and Excel are you using. What is the error message and number.Is the client add-in the same patch as the server. Just to check:Do they have the check mark turned on in the Essbase / Options / Display tab to indicate what the lastest time period is.Regards,Corey BidmeadClarity Systems

Set-up Dynamic time series

Hi,
I have just tried to activate dynamic time series members in the outline.
In the outline I can now see "Active time series members: Y-T-D behind the dimension name "Periode".
I was in the assumption that new Y-T-D members would be created. But this is not the case.
I want to use the YTD functionality in financial reporting. But am unable to select DTS members.
What is the proper way to set up DTS?

Hi,
Proper way of setting-up Dynamic time Series is: -
1- Define one dimension as 'Time' in outline.
2- Select any eight predefined Dynamic Time Series members like Q-T-D, Y-T-D and associated it with any generation. For example, if you want to calculate quarter-to-date values, you enable the Q-T-D member and associate it with the generation to which you want to apply the Dynamic Time Series member.
3- Dynamic Time Series members are not displayed as members in the database outline. Instead, Essbase lists the currently active Dynamic Time Series members in a comment on the time dimension. For Ex. Y-T-D is showing after dimension 'Period' in yourcase.
4- When you retrieve a Dynamic Time Series member, you need to tell Essbase the time period up to which you want to calculate the period-to-date value. This time period is known as the latest time period and must be a level 0 member on the time dimension. For. Ex - For example, Q-T-D(May) returns the quarter-to-date value by adding values for April and May.
Hope it answers you.

Enable Dynamic Time series

hi,
I am trying to look for dynamic time series option in planning web and i m not able to locate it. I am on planning 9.2. .
Can anybody let me know where can i enable it on web and if i need to enable it via essbase as well once i refresh the outline??
Thanks!

To add on to John's comments beginning in 9.3.1 you have the ability to set this up in EPMA as well. A caveat is you should make sure to rename your Year dimension Years and your Period dimension Periods as these begin to be reserved words with DTS enabled.
Regards,

Dynamic Time Series problem

I have three measures and three Orgs set up in the following way-
Measures
M1(~)<2>(Two Pass)
|
---M2(+)(Two Pass)
---M3(+)(Two Pass)
Orgs
O1(~)<2>(Two Pass)
|
---O2 (+)
---O3 (+)
I have formulas for members M2 and M3 such that M2 is calculated only for O2 and M3 is calculated only for M3 and the formulas are such that I need the two pass on O1.
Now here is my problem: When I retrieve the data using Y-T-D(04) as my time period, all data (i.e. for M1,M2 and M3) for org O1 shows up as #missing. All other data (i.e. M1,M2 and M3 for O2 and O3) shows up as it should (sum from jan to apr). If I retrieve for individual months everything works perfectly. Can anyone give me some pointers as to why this is happening?

Two pass won't effect dynamic time series. If the member was dynamic and you needed it two pass as well, that might make the order of the calculations different than you'd anticipate.
Dynamic Time Series will be calculated last so in your case, if you were selecting Y-T-D (Feb), the result would be M1->Jan + M2->Feb. I don't know if that will yield the correct result. I think you need to make sure the formula is correct for a given month and then see if the math should be calculating this way.
