Automate extract of planning forms

Hi all,
I'm struggling with setting up the task of extracting planning forms at a specific time on the server. When I do it manually it does work, it returns a code 1 error. I'm using a windows server. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or if there's any way I can automate this task.
Thanx

Hi,
I assume, you are trying to use FormDefUtil to extract forms definitions.
FormDefUtil uses a password file for the automation purposes. So the steps to define the scheduled task would be as follows:
1. Create a password file.
2. Create a scheduled task with the following command:
<Drive>:\Hyperion\products\Planning\bin\FormDefUtil -f:<address of the password file> export -all <planning server> <username> <application>
Have a nice day.

Automatic refresh of Planning form after HBR calculation is finished?

Let's say that there is a Planning web form in which the user should run a business rule manually.
The business rule contains a runtime prompt where the user selects the member he wants to calculate.
After running the rule, the result of the calculation is not visible until the user clicks the "Refresh" button thereafter.
Is it possible to automate such a refresh in any way, so that it happenes automatically after the calculation is finished?
Planning version 11.1.2.1.

I agree, it would work and the user is then guided through the process. :-)
However ... I am looking for an even "smoother" solution.
We are handling some 20+ applications with several forms containing manual HBRs in each, so I would definitely avoid creating that many task lists or other extra stuff to maintain.
My hope was that there is a way to activate either a "save" or a "refresh" automatically after trigging the business rule. What about java code?

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.

Planning forms with Java API

Is it possible to attach JAVA API with Hyperion Planning forms?<BR>My requirement is<BR>When ever the user saves the form, it should trigger a extract data file to a particular folder in the essbase server.<BR>Pls help me

Leroy -
The forms Java client is only certified currently to work with JDK 1.1.x. Java WebStart requires the use of JDK 1.3 so it doesn't work for now.
The good news is that the Forms team is working towards certifying JDK 1.3 for use on clients and as part of that process are evaluating Java WebStart as a distribution and launching mechanism.
On Netscape 4.x, the native Java VM is a really old one (JDK 1.1.5) and it has bugs in it that prevent the Forms applet from functioning. The Microsoft JVM is much better and is capable of running the Forms applet.
There is a Forms specific forum on OTN that you may want to consider using for Forms specific questions like these - a lot of Forms experts use that, and the actual Forms development teams monitor it as well.
cheers!

Data loading from planning forms into two different essbase application

Hi All,
I have 2 different planning application into 2 different planning and essbase server but the application repository for these applications is same which is lying into 3rd server. Due to this when I add the member into any application it will automatically reflect into another application because the application repository is same. When I refresh the applications the meta data is loaded into there corresponding Essbase server.
My problem is:
When I enter the data figure into the planning form it is going into there corresponding Essbase cube. But I want when user enter the data into 1 planning application form it should be reflected into both Essbase application , LIKE METADATA which is not happening. We are doing this for fail over support.

Hi,
I am sorry but that is not how I look at, the point of failure for a planning application would the web server, repository, essbase database...
If it is the web server element then surely you would have two planning web servers pointing to one planning application and one repository.... then if one web server went down to switch to the other web server?
You won't get a planning application to write to two seperate essbase applications, if you want failover on essbase then you will need to look at alternative methods.

Difference :Automatic Reorder Point Planning and Forecast based palning ?

Dear MM Guru's,
As we See in throtical Concepts that
Automatic Reorder point planning and Forcast Based Planning Used the prevuious Historical Data.
Please explain what is difference Between them.
regards,
A. S.

Hi,
Reorder Point Planning: -
Use: -
In reorder point planning, procurement is triggered when the sum of plant stock and firmed receipts falls below the reorder point.
Features: -
The reorder point should cover the average material requirements expected during the replenishment lead time.
The safety stock exists to cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays. Therefore, the safety stock is included in the reorder level.
The following values are important for defining the reorder point:
- Safety stock
- Average consumption
- Replenishment lead time
The following values are important for defining the safety stock:
- Past consumption values (historical data) or future requirements
- Vendor/production delivery timelines
- Service level to be achieved
- Forecast error, that is, the deviation from the expected requirements
Manual Reorder Point Planning
In manual reorder point planning, you define both the reorder level and the safety stock level manually in the appropriate material master.
Automatic Reorder Point Planning
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.
Forecast-Based Planning: -
Use: -
Forecast-based planning is also based on material consumption. Like reorder point planning, forecast-based planning operates using historical values and forecast values and future requirements are determined via the integrated forecasting program. However, in contrast to reorder point planning, these values then form the basis of the planning run. The forecast values therefore have a direct effect in MRP as forecast requirements.
Features: -
The forecast, which calculates future requirements using historical data, is carried out at regular intervals. This offers the advantage that requirements, which are automatically determined, are continually adapted to suit current consumption needs. The forecast requirement is reduced by the material withdrawal so that the forecast requirement quantity that has already been produced is not included in the planning run again.
Reducing Forecast Requirements
- Reducing forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system also reduces future forecast requirements.
- Reducing current forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system does not reduce future forecast requirements.
- Average reduction of the forecast requirements
The reduction of the forecast requirements is based on average daily consumption. Actual consumption data is not relevant.
The system calculates the average daily requirement first using the formula forecast requirement/number of workdays in the forecast period.
The forecast requirements are then reduced by the quantity resulting from the following formula: number of workdays worked x average daily requirements.
Period Pattern and Forecast Periods
You can specify the period pattern for the forecast (daily, weekly, monthly or per accounting period) and the number of periods to be included in the forecast individually for each material. It is possible, however, that the forecast period pattern is not specific enough for planning purposes. In this case, you can define per material that the forecast requirements should be divided according to a finer period pattern for planning. You can also define how many forecast periods are to be taken into account during requirements planning. The splitting indicator is defined in Customizing for MRP per plant and per period unit and is assigned to the material in the material master.
Example: -
For a monthly forecast, the requirements date would be set on the first workday of the month because, for planning, it is assumed that the total requirement must be available at the beginning of the period. You can then divide this monthly requirement into either daily or weekly requirements.

Automatic Creation of Planned Order in PPDS Horizon

Dear Experts,
Kindly answer my following query.
I have created PIRs before/inside my PPDS Horizon (its also falling outside horizon as SNP horizon is shorter than PPDS Horizon). If I check the PIRs created by me in /SNPAPO/RRP3, it also shows me planned orders corresponding to them. However, if I create PIR outside PPDS horizon then system is not automatically creating the planned order.
Kindly let me know which master data/configuration setting is responsible for automatic creation of planned orders within PPDS horizon.
Best Regards
Rinju
Edited by: Rinju Mukherjee on Sep 26, 2010 10:05 AM

Dear Rinju,
Check in Product Master PPDS view the Planning procedure maintained? if it is balnk check in the heuristic, the palnning procedure maintained.
Since automatic planning procedure(3) is maintained, that is the reason it is creating order proposals, it self.

Can a member be READ-ONLY in a row of some Planning forms?

Hi,
Can a member be READ-ONLY in a row of some Planning forms?
For example, I have a member called Salary as a row in a Form that is used to maintain employees. We allow Planners to update Salary in "Employee Detail" form.
However, in another form , we roll up Salary to "ALL EMPLOYEES IN DEPT" member and we do not want users to update that as it is added up by a calc script.
What is the best way to restrict users from updating in this 2nd form but allow update to Salary in first form.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use Asymmetric Rows and set the member you want to be read only, for more information on how to create them on forms have a read of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/ch06s03s14.html

Automatic creation of planned order in APO

Dear Gurus,
I originally posted this in PP and SD, however, it does now seem to be APO related.
Hence my posting here. Can you help? This is the question:
"How can we prevent that APO immediately creates a planned order when the purchase requisition is put in the system.
(apparently they set up the system as such that a flow then starts and automatically transforms the planned order into a production order).
We want to prevent APO to automatically create a planned order from the purchase req, we only want a planned order at a later stage, i.e. the finalised purchase order.
If a setting like this exists, can we activate this per plant?"
Thanks!

Hello there,
The control that you mentioned can be maintained at a product level, which is more granular than what you have asked for. Refer to the PP/DS tab of the product master and you will find a filed for PP planning procedure, which determines various actions that PP/DS executes for a specifi type of event. There are standard planning procedures (procedures 1-9) and ofcourse you can configure your own procedures as well.
The configurations here define if your dependents requirements have to created immediately or just a planning file entry has to be created or a product heuristic has to be started immediately or no action has to be taken!
Refer to below link for more info:

Display Popup or Dialog Message window when opening planning form?

Is there a way to setup a planning web form to display a dialog box or message when the user opens a planning web form or expands a folder in planning? Or, is there a way to change the background color on a web planning form (input is yellow and would like to change it to some other color (light orange))? We are currently using Hyperion v9.3.0.1 on Unix Solaris. I tried attaching a Biz rule with runtime variables but the form errors with message indicating can not have run time variables on the form load option when opening a form.

Hi,
You can use custom javascript to add an alert message in a web form, you will need to read up on using custom javascript in planning, have a read here
As for the colors used in web forms you can customize the css being used, have a read here
Ok?
Cheers

Copy & Paste data into Planning form in Workspace 11.1.2.2

Hi there!
I'm dealing with a weird problem with Planning 11.1.2.2 over workspace. I cannot paste copied data into data forms (whether I copy from an Excel sheet, a file, or another cell of the same form).
However, when I access Planning directly through :8300/HyperionPlanning/LogOn.jsp (old-styled Planning), pasting data works fine.
I tried using Ctrl + V and menu buttons, and didn't work.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Not sure which web browser you were working on, but this is from the 11.1.2.2 Known issues for Planning
12360405 -- With Firefox, you cannot copy and paste data from Microsoft Excel into a Planning form.
Hope this helps..!!

Planning form not opening at Smart View through Workspace

Hi Gurus,
        I have an 11.1.2.3 environment and I'm trying to open up a Planning form inside Workspace using the following steps : File --> Open in SmartView.
        Right after Excel shows up I've got the following error message :
   "The form /Forms/00 - Income Taxes/MPP1001.00 - Exchange rate is invalid. Verify the log to obtain more details."
       However, I've got to open up this same form directly into SmartView without error.
      Did someone have this issue before ? Do I have to apply some SmartView Patch ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi,
     My SmartView version is 11.1.2.3.300 (build 157)
Thanks
