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?

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.

Pre-loading Planning forms after re-start

Is there a way (or two) to mitigate the load time of a Planning form? We have 60+ forms and the application owners realize that once user1 opens a particular form, user2 benefits by the (WebLogic) application server's caching. The owners feel that user2's perceived performance of the forms load is acceptable, but user1's in not.
One of my recent on-site consultants recounted the story of a firm having an admin log into each form very early every morning to effect the caching for performance. Two obvious solutions would be the above (manual process) and using HP LoadRunner (which we do not have available to us in our production environment). Any WebLogic application server settings not used by default for EPM 11 deployed Planning apps applicable here?
Any suggestions, experiences or war stories on this would be very much appreciated.

Automatically refresh the report tabs after selecting the parameters in bip

Hello Everything!!
Is there a way to automatically refresh all the report tabs once we select the parameters? The report are not refreshed automatically in each tab and users have to either hit apply button or refresh button for each report tab . Is this a lacking feature in BI publisher. I am using 11.1.1.6.6.
Thanks,
Uday

(Automatic) Refresh of Cached object after insert/update

Hi,
(I am using Toplink 9.0.3 against an Oracle Database)
I am inserting and updating records in the database through objects registered in a TopLink UnitOfWork. I happen to know that certain database columns will get a (changed) values because of Database triggers.
Is it true that the only way to get these changed values reflected back to the TopLink cache is by explicitly executing a
session.refreshObject();
call for every object changed in the UnitOfWork?
Is there no way to inform TopLink (for example through the descriptors for the relevant classes) that for certain classes after the insert/update an automatic synchronization with the database must be performed?
I have not been able to find such a setting, but I may have overlooked it - I hope I did.
Thanks for your help,
Lucas Jellema (AMIS)

In this case use a postMerge event -- it will get called after the merge of the cache and then you could update the object explicitly.
Ultimately, the way to achieve the behavior you're looking for is events or refreshing.

Automatic refresh failed error message after upgrading to Server 2012R2

Configuration refresh message: The system cannot access one or more event logs because if insufficient access rights, file corruption, or other reasons. The message suggests I look in the ServerManager-ManagementProvider event log which I did. I find a number
event id 85 messages that state "Failed to query the results of bpa xpath: then there are a number of different entries with different location and the end of every message states "the system cannot find the file specified. The system cannot
find the path specified.
The computer is a stand alone root certificate server that was running 2008R2. I have not had this issue with any other upgraded server though this is the first standalone server I have upgraded.
There are also some Event ID 63 WMI errors in the application log indicating that the account being used to register providers is the LocalSystem account which is a security concern.
I searched the forums but no hits.
Thanks in advanced

Hi,
WMI logs a warning event log message when a WMI provider running in the LocalSystem security hosting context is loaded. This is done to inform system administrators about the risk of elevation of privilege attacks. Such attacks are
possible if the provider code is not properly implemented.

And for the error Failed to query the results of bpa xpath...
Can you run the BPA scan for the machine? BPA scan can be run using Server Manager console itself.
For this, go to "All Servers" canvas. Scroll below on this canvas to Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) tile. Click on "Tasks --> Start BPA Scan". Select the machine in opened window and complete the scan.

Automatic Refresh of calling screen after closing Webdynpro Appl

Hi All,
We are on SRM 5.0 and we are launching a custom webdynpro application from the Sourcing Cockpit. We added a custom button on the sourcing cockpit and that button would launch the custom webdynpro application as shown below in the PAI event.
DATA : lv_url TYPE string,
            l_obj type SMENSAPNEW-REPORT,
            l_rep type SMENSAPNEW-REPORTTYPE,
            l_url type SMEN_BUFFI-URL.
    CALL METHOD cl_wd_utilities=>construct_wd_url
      EXPORTING
        application_name = 'Z_SC_UPD'
      IMPORTING
        out_absolute_url = lv_url.
l_obj = 'URL'.
l_rep = 'OT'.
l_url = lv_url.
CALL FUNCTION 'MENU_START_OBJECT_VIA_INDX'
EXPORTING
   OBJECT_NAME         = l_obj
   REPORTTYPE          = l_rep
   URL                 = l_url.
The webdynpro Z_SC_UPD will update the custom fields in the shopping cart. Upon closing of this webdynpro application, we need to refresh the screen of Sourcing cockpit to reflect the changes that Webdynpro just made. Is it possible. Please advise?
Thanks
Abapinator.

Hi
In this case you would probably require to restructure your application. The webdynpro application thats launched in the new window. Need to call a method in the event handler , that finally calls the exit plug. You can from this method call your associated ASSISTANCE CLASS method.
ASSISTANCE class should expose method to refresh you original Application, this may be a simple matter of reexecuting the transaction associated with you MAIN Application
This in effect you call a method before exitiing that would end up reseting/ Refreshing your main app.

UWL: No automatic refresh after completing workitem in iView

Hi,
our system is EP 6 SP2 P4 HF 7 with CM HF 6.
We have configured a workitem launched by an individual iview - this works fine.
For execution of this workitem we call SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT and save values in simple_container. After this SWW_WI_ADMIN_COMPLETE is called to complete the workitem to be cleared from UWL inbox.
If I refresh the tab manual all works fine - the completed workitem is not more there. But with automatic refresh this executed workitem is still listed.
Do you have any idea what we are doing wrong?
Configuration in uwl.standard:
<Views>
<View name="myWorkItemView" selectionMode="SINGLESELECT" width="98%" supportedItemTypes="uwl.task.webflow.DE9_TS99500153" columnOrder="detailIcon, subject, priority, creatorId, createdDate, dueDate" sortby="createDate:descend, priority:descend" tableDesign="STANDARD" visibleRowCount="20" headerVisible="yes" tableNavigationFooterVisible="yes" tableNavigationType="CUSTOMNAV" actionRef="" refresh="60" dueDateSevere="86400000" dueDateWarning="259200000" emphasizedItems="new" displayOnlyDefinedAttributes="yes" actionPosition="top">
I appreciate your help,
thanks in advance,

Hi Ross,
concerning our problem (no WI completion by auto refreshing UWL) we have yet no solution. SAP Support told us to configure the cache lifetime of UWL to smaller size, but alas this does not solve the problem.
As you mentioned the blank webgui screen: I think this behaviour is by design. Calling an ITS transaction there's no other way to end the ITS session as of using the back or return button and get an end of session. The given status (WI new status: completed) indicates that UWL and ITS process the WI correct.
A smarter way to execute the concerning WI ID is to configure it in the xml file as generic decision task. Then you'll get an inline rendered java iview with decision "accept" or "decline" and the new status will be shown in UWL. This will take place of (standard) ITS configuration. Please have a look at the HowTo Guide of UWL.
Hope it helps,
regards,
Thorsten Bingmann

Essbase Variable with more than a value for use after in Planning forms.

I want to now if it would be possible to create a variable with more than a value for use after in Planning forms.
The variable that I want to use is created in Essbase.
Example:
&Years = FY08,FY09,FY10

Hi.
The only workaround I know for the problem is to create parent in the dimension.
In your case, create member “planyears”.
Then you define children that are shard (this are the multiple member for the variables FY08, FY09 etc..)
Create Essbase sub variable that will have 1 member value “planyears”
When you use the Sub Variable in form select function “Children” and in that case it will use the member FY08,FY09 etc on the form.
Limitation: I’m working on version 9.2.0.3 so you can’t create hierarchy in the year dimension, but you can use it in other dimension.

EA2 - after editing schema, columns should automatically refresh

- select a table, look at column view
- click edit, modify the table, click ok
- the column view does not refresh, but must be refreshed manually
please make the column view refresh automatically

We have a bug logged for this.
It might not be feasible to automatically refresh the object viewer in all cases. What we are trying is to provide a popup dialog asking you to refresh.

Input data into dynamic calc in Planning forms

Hi guys,
Have someone tried to combine these two requirements:
1. to have upper level members dynamic calc
2. to give users the ability to input data into those upper level members through Planning forms.
I need to do that in order to pass inputted values into HBR, and allocate those values to the leaf level across multiple dimensions. I need those members dynamic calc because otherwise I would need to aggregate data across 7 dimensions and that takes too long. Those allocations are suposed to happen constantly and are the main purpose of application.
I know you can have dummy stored members that correspond the uper level dynamic members, but then the user will have input forms without current data and will be required to check reports/forms with dynamic calc members prior to updating data.
I wonder if it is a realistic task to change jsp files that generate those forms, so that data can be inputed into the form, but instead of passing it to Essbase cube to send it to relational database.
P.S.
This is related to the thread I opened about optimizing recalculation time:
Recalculatiion takes much longer than initial calculation
I received a lot of valuable advices that would definitely work in other situations, but in my case they seem to contradict either user concurrent access or performance requirements.
Thanks a lot!
Dmitry

Hi Glenn,
I think i found a workaround for this, or may be i am missing something. I will replicate my hierarchies so that one hierarchy will have uper level stored members, and another dynamic calc. Once user loads the form it will run on-load script that will copy data from corresponding dynamic calc to stored slice. The updated data will be alocated to the leaf level, but will never be aggregated. Since reporting is done from ASO cube i only care about the leaf level and current selection in the form.
Thanks!

Automatic refresh the alarm table in oracle bpel 10.1.3.5 on Linux

Automatic refresh the alarm table in oracle bpel 10.1.3.5 on Linux
I have bpel process with wait activity ..those are getting hang during thre processing. when I
refresh the alaram table..they are processing normally.
Is there a way to refresh the alarm table automatically for every few minutes.?
I have checked the Best Practices Guide
Tuning
com.oracle.bpel.expirationAgent.threadCount = 50
and com.oracle.bpel.threadPool.threadCount = 5
Does not help. What I am after is some way for an automatic refresh to be done say every 1hr or so.
Can this be done?? If YES, how??

Hi,
I had a similar requirement a while back, since due to poor system config we also Wait timers not expiring on time. I couldn't find a method within BPEL console to do this automatically.
I'm not a Java developer, but at the time I did use google to and put together the following. I can't tell if it is working since there is nothing written in the BPEL logs to indicate the refresh. My plan was to develop a script to detect waits not expiring, and then to run the java (below).
I used the the following blog as the basis : http://oraclebpelindepth.blogspot.com/2008/09/undeploy-bpel-with-java.html
import java.util.Properties;
import com.oracle.bpel.client.IBPELDomainHandle;
import com.oracle.bpel.client.Locator;
import com.oracle.bpel.client.ServerException;
import com.oracle.bpel.client.BPELDomainStatus;
import com.oracle.bpel.client.Server;
import com.oracle.bpel.client.auth.ServerAuth;
import com.oracle.bpel.client.auth.ServerAuthFactory;
public class DoRefreshAlarmTable {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws ServerException {
          //Properties with BPEL server connection information
          Properties props = new Properties();
          props.put("orabpel.platform", "ias_10g");
          props.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
          props.put("java.naming.provider.url", "opmn:ormi://omv2rrm2:6003:oc4j_soa/orabpel");
          props.put("java.naming.security.principal", "oc4jadmin");
          props.put("java.naming.security.credentials", "pass4bpel");
          props.put("dedicated.connection","true");
          //Get a locator in default domain
          Locator locator = new Locator("default","welcome1",props);
          //Get a handle to the domain
          IBPELDomainHandle iBPELDomainHandle = locator.lookupDomain();
          //Refresh the alarm table
          iBPELDomainHandle.refreshAlarmTable();

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.
Cheers

Text element not gettin refreshed in smart form

Hi
Text element does not get refreshed in the smart form preview.
I have a selection screen on which i have a few selection parameters and three application
toolbar buttons. "Save" , "Preview" and "Print". At the end of selection screen I have a
button "text" which when clicked takes me to the text element editor(FM 'TEXT_EDIT' )
I have to enter a project number on the selection screen, enter all other details and
then click on the "Text" button. I would then change /edit some text etc and come back
to sel screen. Now i click on preview , the smart form shows up and the text gets dispalyed
with the modified text.
I am passing the text name by appending "sometext" + project number to the TEXT_EDIT
and while eiditing and as a parameter to the smart form. In the smart form i have given the variable in the "include text".
Now Herez the problem.
I am still in selection screen and clik on the "text" button and it takes me to the
text editor. Now i add more lines, save and come back. Now i clik on preview
button and it displays the old text data.
When i come out of the transaction and renter , clik on the preview it displays data
correctly. Now if i repeat the steps
1.edit text button , add a few lines
2.preview button, shows data as entered in step 1.
3.edit text button, add few more lines
4.preview button .. the text displays is from step 1 and not 3.
I am not sure if this is lot of info for anybody to write an answer straight away but
if u need more info i can provide. I can do a read_text in the smart form but its toooooo
much of a pain for the data i need to display. million adjustments to be taken care of.
What could be the problem ? I have given all the basic settings like save parameter
in edit_text fm , checked all the print preview options in sdn.
Here are my questions
1. Why is the text element not getting refreshed.
2. After a form is displayed for preview , will it store anywhere in the buffer ? if yes
is there any method to clear it ?

Hi,
The problem is not with text elements, it might be your size of window which you are using to display the text elements. Check your window size and modify that accordingly.
Cheers,
Bujji

Using a different Plan Version in WIP calculation

Hi experts.
I am using version 97 as plan in a wip calculation. The problem is that to recognize plan incomings my system uses version 0 and in the result analysis they always appear as 0 because the version the system is taking to recover the planned incomings is 97 and it is empty.
Is there any standard way to make it take version 97 only for costs?.
Thanks.
Alex

yes. this is true, the predicates are not preserved, I found that out after posting. ok, Im really thinking bug here, I'll explain further.
Im outside of prod time so can run the mview. the plan is pretty big so not going to post just yet, its just behavioural at this stage.
explain for QUERY, = plan good.
create table t1 as QUERY = plan good.
insert to table as QUERY = plan good
create mview as QUERY = plan bad. Not just timings are bad, the plan has completely changed. I stop the mview creation at this stage. good old ctrl+c.
the only thing thats different is Im running MVIEW create. So I hit my ADDM again, can see the bad plan and bad timings. So I get the SQL_ID from the ADDM for the bad plan and run a 10053 on it using the 11.2 sqldiag dump. Im hoping to see why its choosing the bad path
execute DBMS_SQLDIAG.DUMP_TRACE(p_sql_id=>'576wpd5g73q9c', p_child_number=>0, p_component=>'Compiler', p_file_id=>'BAD1');
edit my BAD1 10053 trace file and I see...the plan is GOOD. Its estimated 2 seconds to run for the SQL_ID thats actually bad when running.
This is why Im thinking bug.
