Attribute Dimension members in Planning Data form

Hi All,
Can we see Attribute dimension members in Planning data form ? Pls. help

Yes it is possible in 11.1.1.3, for example in your row select a dimension that has attributes associated with it. select dimension properties next to the down drop.
Tick "Enable custom attribute display (setting applies to all dimensions with associated attributes): "
Select the attribute dimension
Cheers

Attribute dimension in the planning Web form

Hi All,
Is there any option to populate attribute dimension as a drop down in the Planning web form, I see option to show attribute dimension in the Other Properties page in the web form, But attribute dimension is not showing in the drop downs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
KGP

I don't think there's anything specific one does to make the attribute dimension show up on the form.
When I look at the Member Selection Entity window on my form, in the upper left hand side I see a box labelled "Members in Entity".
Directly below that is another box labelled "Attributes".
Are you sure that you really have the attributes assigned?
You can check in Classic Planning, by managing dimensions, selecting Entity, and then clicking on the Custom Attributes button. You should then see the attribute dimensions/members assigned to Entity.
You can also check in EAS.
I believe the association also appears in EPMA but it's been a while since I looked at it.

Adding Members to Planning Data Forms

<p>I have a form with Periods as the column. If I have threemembers chosen all is fine. If I add a fourth member of Period, theform won't display. I have checked and have write access and allelse looks fine.</p>

Hi,
I am not totally sure what you are trying to achieve but if you create an essbase application in EAS it is a totally seperate entity from a planning application, so you can't just access it directly.
The are many options on what to do but it needs to be clearer why you have to access the data from a seperate database.
If there is a commonality in the dimensions then it would have been possible to create an extra plan type when you created the planning application, this creates an extra database as part of the planning application.
The other options are to use XREFs to access data from one to cube to another.
Another option would to use partitions.
You could extract the data from one cube using an export or DATAEXPORT command and then load it into your planning database or use ODI to extract from one database and load it into the other.

Arrange members in hierarchical order in planning data form

I am trying to hierarchically arrange the dimension members in row of a data form.
Assume the following hierarchy
Parent1
--- Child 11
--- Child 12
Parent2
--- Child 21
--- Child 22
When I place this dimension in the row of a Hyperion planning data form and select "honor hierarchy", the members are arranged in reverse order.
--- Child 11
--- Child 12
Parent1
--- Child 21
--- Child 22
Parent2
How do i arrange them such that the parent appears above the child ?

We had a similar issue with & in smarlist and patch .502 fixed it. However i put in your memeber "Cost per Minor Suite Turn (< 5K)" in the .502 environment and i saw the same issue: where "Cost per Minor Suite Turn (< 5K)" cuts off to Cost per Minor Suite Turn (
and i tried just "Cost per Minor Suite Turn < 5K" and it provided this Cost per Minor Suite Turn.
We also have a 11.1.2.4 environment i tried it in there and the same issue exsits. And i guess the only work around is spelling it out because that is what they told us regarding the & in smarlists.

How to add a mm-dd-yyyy date field type in a Planning Data Form

Hi John,
pls, I have one question regarding the possibility of adding a date field type for example 03-03-2009 in a cell of Planning Data Form application.
for example, I created:
- 2 members in Period dimension: StartProject and EndProject and I need to enter and track date for these fields;
- one Account member called Project;
- and a simple form with these collumns and row;
Trying different settings for my members - seems that I cannot input date in the cell and rcvd errror: "you have entered invalid value".
Pls, can you confirm me if it's possible to enter date type in a form?
If yes, what is the specific setup for the Account and Period properties: Data storage, Time Balance, Data type, Account type etc
many thanks,
Robert

Many thanks John!!! that's it!!!
I had to change it in Data Type evaluation Order because I'm using EPMA and it's working now!!
Thanks again!!!
Rgds,
Robert

How to show two different aliases in planning data form

I have two alias members in the Alias dimension-Default,alias-1.
Alias is associated with all the dimensions.
For ENTITY dimension i have values for both the aliases.
Now my requirement is to show Default alias member in one planning data form and alias-1 member in another data form.
How can this be achieved ?

If this is a consistant requirement, you could create another alias table and assign the aliases as a concatenation of the two aliases you need to see at the same time.
IOW, export both tables, and in excel or a text editor, concatenate the two existing aliases for each member into one string, then import that list into yet another alias table.

Planning Data Form Lock

Hi,
I am wondering whether the Excel Lock & Send mechanism can be implemented in Hyperion Planning data form. I am using 9.3.1 of Hyperion Planning. This means that when one user is working (writing) on the data form with the specific page members, the other users can only read the data form (or get some sort of notification) for the same combination only.
Of course, one possible solution is to use the custom javascript to do so (I am not so sure how difficult this can be,either). Anyone got any experience on that?
Thank

Like you said this would require custom java script. Additionally you would need a central location to store user states to be able to flip the read switch.
Unless you are very good at javascript or someone provides you a custom script this is a non-trival exercise.
Likely you would use the xmlphttprequest function, setup a custom web service and have it interact with a database to store user state.
Implenting process, communication, and appropriate security is the manner to avoid people over-writing other values.
Good Luck,

Selecting a member range on Planning Data Forms?

Hi all,
Can somebody confirm it is not possible to select a range as a member on a Planning Data form?
Here is my situation:
Description: On a planning form we would like to populate forecast months. Currently planners can input data to six months: Jul-Dec. In October, we will change it to Oct:Dec.
Issue: For each data form, we need to manually add/remove members.
Failed attempt: Created a SubVar and assigned the following range: &CurFstMo:Dec. Of course it failed :)
Work around: I think the easiest solution is to display 12 monts and change the start and end date for Forecast scenario. I need to check with the planners if they'd be ok with displaying all 12 months other than just the input months.
Can you think of another solution?
Thanks,
Mehmet

Maintain attribute dimensions in Hyperion Planning, via ODI

How can I move/maintain attribute members in Hyperion Planning, preferably via ODI?
I have been loading an attribute dimension into Hyperion Planning, via ODI. The problem is that some children have been previously loaded to incorrect parents. However, a reload does not seem to move the children to their rightful place in the hierarchy.
There are no errors being generated.
Cheers

Are you definitely sure it is not on the planning side the issue lies, I would create a file and then use the outline loader to compare load times to see where the issue is first.

Sorting Attribute dimension members

Other then reloading attribute dimension members in a different order. Is there a possbility with ODI or the SortMember.cmd utility to perform such a task?
I ask since I know presently while reloading the attribute dimension with ODI it drops the latest member to the bottom. This is not the order I need it in. I tried to mess with the load in ODI and still no fix. I tried to use the SortMember and it only appears to work on all dimension but currency, period, and years as it reads in the planning admin guide. This is for 11.1.2.1.
Does anybody have any input? If so please reply.
Thanks,
DjSmeadly

It is one area that has never been addressed so sorting attribute members is not so easy, as far as I aware the sortmember utility does not work on attribute dimensions.

How can I fix the 1st column width (member) in Planning data forms

Hi all,
does anybody know a trick, how I can fix the first column width in planning data forms? I need a composite data form (Planning 9.3.1) and the problem is, that in the first form the member names are longer. So Planning sizes the column as it is needed to display the full member name. The member names of the second data form are shorter, so the data entry cells are not exactly among each other for both data forms and that looks terrible....
Thanks and kind regards
André

There are 3 ways of setting the width in webforms:-
1. There is a global setting for input box length which has a syntax of FormInputBoxLength=30.
2. When you specify the format for each of the dimensions you can choose to select the width of either a column heading or a row heading. In the following example, each time you specified the dimension ‘Account’ a format would be applied to its header. The syntax for this would be something like… HeaderOptionAccount=Length:50,Style:font-size: 12pt;font-family: calibri
3. Each column can have its own width specified. The syntax for this can be setting in each of the column’s code. For example C6=Blank,Style:Background-color:rgb(203,218,231);width:3 would just show a thick vertical line as the width is so small.
You can not set widths in data grids through the normal settings. You can manually change the widths and save the grid though. This can be done in the xml directly. For example… <HDRWIDTH idx=”0″ width=”50″/>.
Then load the amended xml file back into the system.

Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

Hi Everybody,
if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
Thank all guys
Bye
Maurizio

Thanks EW for your answer,
YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
I have 500 account members.
For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
{Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
"PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
endfix
So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
Thank you Ew, thank you guys
Maurizio

Error during the save process with Planning data form

Hi,
When in Planning web-client, I am trying to make changes to data on a data form. The cells are level-0 members (Yellow and writeable in a bottom-up Working version). When I save, it takes a while to process the request, then gives me the following error message: "There was an error during the save process."
The data form is fairly large, could this be causing the problem? I am a able to save data on other forms that correspond to the exact same set of members and dimensions with no problem. What are possible causes of this error? I have tried stopping and starting planning and the entire EPM system. Thank you.

Hi,
I believe you are using V11, I would stop planning, clear out log \Hyperion\logs\services\HyS9Planning-sysout.log, start planning, replicate the error and then going in look if the log has any more detailed information.
Cheers

i have created a application in eas called "blue " in eas console and loaded the data and retrieved in excel , iam able to see the data . mean while i have created planning application called "gt" and its created sucessfully, i can able to "gt" see in the eas console . i wanted to get the data from "blue" in eas into planning "gt" dataforms i created a user called "blue" in shared services console , i decided to give the privilege to "blue" in eas , i clicked on the default application to blue application but was nt there ,but it showing separtely , i clicked on that and assigned roles like "administrator" and cube creator and planner
my doubt is that
1: when i logon "gt " planning application and created dataform folder i want to access the essbase application "blue" data, but there is no user available in that dataform
iam confused whether i should give privileges to default application or "gt " i find both of them in shared services console
clearly my doubt how to link eas "blue" with planning "gt " and datas form blue should be retrived in gt dataform
iam using epm11

Hi,
I am not totally sure what you are trying to achieve but if you create an essbase application in EAS it is a totally seperate entity from a planning application, so you can't just access it directly.
The are many options on what to do but it needs to be clearer why you have to access the data from a seperate database.
If there is a commonality in the dimensions then it would have been possible to create an extra plan type when you created the planning application, this creates an extra database as part of the planning application.
The other options are to use XREFs to access data from one to cube to another.
Another option would to use partitions.
You could extract the data from one cube using an export or DATAEXPORT command and then load it into your planning database or use ODI to extract from one database and load it into the other.
