BPC - Dimension Owner - How to use a Team as a dimension owner

BPC 7.0 MS
I have a dimension with an OWNER property. I can define the OWNER property for a dimension member to be a User by using the syntax of:
<domain name>\<username>
for example, we have an Active Directory domain of CORP and a username of L123456. I can use
CORP\L123456
as the OWNER property value and the dimension with process successfully.
I have added a Team in BPC, for example called MyTeam. I try to set the OWNER for a dimension member to
MyTeam
and when I process the dimension I get the error that:
"Invalid user or team names found in the OWNER property"
I also tried these syntaxes:
BPC\MyTeam
BPC \MyTeam
These do not work either. Does anyone know the correct syntax to get this to process properly?

Carlos,
Thank you for the reply. That solved my problem. I used MyTeam enclosed by square brackets
as the value in the OWNER property of the dimension and the dimension processed successfully.
Thanks.

How to use the RateEntity dimension in SAP BPC?

Hello everbody,
I am implementing a consolidation process using SAP BPC. I want to use the RateEntity dimension, to translate a same currency into different exchange rates depending on the company.
I want the company which ID is GFU (which is from Brazil) in LegalEntity dimension is converted using a special exchange rate. I have added a GFU member in RateEntity dimension, and I have entered the exchange rates for the member GFU and for the member Global in RateEntity dimension.
But the problem is that after I run the FX Restatement package, converted data for this company is not the proper one, because Global exchange rates have been used instead of GFU exchange rates. Does anybody know why? Do I have to do anything else?
Thank you very much for your time

How to use EvLST and EvSET in BPC NW 7.0

I would like to list the members of dimension "Entity" by putting a filter on one of the property.
In 5.1 I used EvLST and EvSET, which was working fine.
But in NW 7.0 , I am not getting the list of dimension members eventhough the function returns TRUE.
Any idea on how to use EvLST in NW 7.0 version?
Thanks

I regret to have to tell you that EVLST and EVSET are functions which are not supported currently in BPC 7.0 NW despite these being shown in the function list available from the action pane. The explanation given by development was it is not possible to pass the MDX SetExpression to the shared query engine from the client front-end.
I suggest you please try to use EVDRE and filter your entity dimension using properties in the Expansion MemberSet cell. For example you could use CURRENCY='USD" AND CALC="N" to produce a list of entities which report in USD and are also not parent members.
Hope you find a sufficient work around.

How to Use Dimension Operator

Hi
I'm trying to implement SCD Type 2. I have done so using conventional methods.
I have read in some blogs that dimension operator can be used for SCD. Can any one provide me material on how to use Dimension Operator. I tried OWB User guide. But its not useful.
I have seen that we need to create levels. But i dont need levels.
Can somebody please tell me how to use it.
Regards
Vibhuti

Hi Vibhuti,
using dimensions with OWB 10g R2 isn't that difficult. You just create a number of attributes like an ID, a business key and probably a description and then associate each of the attributes with a level. You need at least one level that all the attributes are associated to. Then you can use the slowly changing dimension wizard (SCD) to track changes. In the SCD settings you can determin for which attribute you want to trigger history and which attributes contain your effective date and your end date (if you want to use SCD type II). Obviously you would need two additional attributes in every level for that purpose.

Jörg

How to use Solve Order in Dimension level formula

Hi All,
Can anyone explain me how to use "Solve order" in formulas defined in dimension?
Regards,
Kapil

Hi,
Let us consider the following:
There are 3 members in your account dimension, Amt, Rate, and Prod. The data looks like
               Jan     Feb     Mar     Apr     May
Amt        100     10       20       30       40
Rate       10       20       10       20       30
Prod       1000 200     200      600     1200
The above values of the Prod will be displayed if the measure in CV is set to periodic. However, if you change the measure in CV to YTD and change the time dimension to dec, then you should get the below result.
              Dec
Amt       200
Rate      90
Prod      3200
This value is nothing but the total of the entire year.
Hope this helps.

How we use Surrogate Keys for snowflake dimension

Hi All,
my question is - How we use Surrogate Keys for snowflake dimension
i heard from some body Surrogate Keys only work with star schema.
please correct me if i wrong.
Regards,
Manish

Hi manishcal16PPS,
According to your description, you can only create natural key in your dimension. But it's not working when using surrogate key. Right?
In Analysis Services, the snowflake schema of the dimensions are represented by more than one dimension table in other words its takes multiple dimension tables to define a dimension. Surrogate key are just some extra, redundant, unique key based on the
natural key. So there's no direct relationship or some limitations between surrogate keys and snowflake schema.
In this scenario, since there's relationship between the two dimensions, you should create natural key. For using natural key or surrogate key. Please refer to an article below:
Surrogate Key vs. Natural Key
For understanding star/snowflake schema, please see:
Understanding Star and Snowflake Schemas

Analysis service cubes - Utilisation report, how to extract resource, team assignment information

Hi,
I am using Excel 2013 and attached an external data source from analysis services OLAP cube that Project Server 2013 builds.
The cube I am using is portfolio analyser.
I would like categorise the resources by which team they are part of firstly, i.e. Project Management, Technical Services, Delivery
I have created a PowerPivot table and would like group each user by team and then by resource name, capacity, work and availability. Time across the top, so I can see this for Year, month, and weekly utilisation.
How can I get the team that each is resource is assigned from this cube?
Thanks.

Hi Guillaume,
I think the field I require is listed in the Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables section of PWA, however I believe it was a default field that came pre-configured OOB after install. The exact field I require is located if you go to; PWA Settings
> Security >Manage Users > Select User> Team Details > Team Name.
As you can see by the description next team name, there are instructions advising on how to populate the team names for your organisation. So it was a pre-configured field.
Team Details
Team Details are optional and are used to define team membership and the team resource that represents a team. Before you set these options use "Server Settings"/"Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables" to create a lookup table that
contains your team names, and edit the "Team Name" resource custom field to use this lookup table.
Team Name is used to indicate team membership - each resource in a team will have the same value for Team Name.
The Team Assignment Pool check box is selected for the team resource, used when assigning tasks to the team. Often a generic resource will be used with the assignment owner field set as the team manager.
So I have entered in all my appropriate organisation team names in the Lookup Table for Custom Field; Team.
I have assigned each resource to one of the team names.
Now I would like to create a PowerPivot Table and incorporate the resource team to be able to create a utilisation report based on each team within my organisation.
After receiving the link from you above I have gone to central admin > Service Application > Project Server Service Application > OLAP Database Management > Configuration of Cube > Cube Dimensions > Resource >
I have added "Team_Resource" to the selected dimension list. Then I completed a "Build Now".
When I go back to my PowerPivot Excel sheet and refresh data I am able to see the new field however, it is not the field that I need.
Can you confirm which field I would need to add?
Is this field a multi field?
Appreciate your assistance.
Thanks

Integration BPC-BW: BPC Dimensions = CHAR 20

Hi,
When creating BPC dimensions, by default they are created as CHAR 20 info objects. This could give problems when loading from a BPC cube to a BW cube having info-objects with less number of characters ...
- I presume this cannot be changed (but confirmation is always nice to know)
- Did anyone already came accross this problem and how did you solve it
- Is there a way to insert a validation in BPC that the length of an ID of a dimension member should not exceed a certain length when creating these members manually in BPC ...
I know the situation above will be rather be exceptional, but we have a case where we faced this issue ... Anyone has a best practise for this
D

Hi Dries,
Oddly enough we came across the same issue yesteday when loading WBS elements from the regular Info Object into a BPC dim. To prevent issues on the front-end we normally add pre-fixes to Dim Members to ensure all members are unique e.g. WBS_ for WBS elements. Unfortunately the WBS elements can be up-to 18 characters long in our ECC system.
Unfortuantely I don't have a solution in this case which makes this response pretty useless, we took the risk that no WBS Elements would ever be identical to other Dim Members in the same Application i.e. removed the pre-fix. Push comes to shove we could have used W_ or W, but if a longer WBS comes along we'd be stuffed.
Our BW developer was wondering whether we could manually change the 20 character limit without impacting any functionality elsewhere. Has anyone tried this?
Cheers
Stuart

Use of Teams Folders?

Hello,
Can someone confirm the proper use of "Team" folders in BPC? My customer would like to use a Team Folder concept to allow power users to create and store standard reports for their individual teams. So under each folder, reports pertaining directly to that Team would exist, and one of the Team members would be able to change/upload new reports for that team.
Is this a proper and recommended use of Team Folders?
Thanks for all help,
Valerie Dixon

Each Team in security is provided with a Team folder. Each User in the team will have access to the folder. Access to the content in the folder is managed by security tasks. So if you create a team and store templates for the team, those assigned have access to the team folder and possibly data manager packages, depending on security rights. In additoin you may select 1 or more team leaders to manage the content as well.
So, to your question, I think that what you describe is correct and how the team folders are used by most implementations. Just remember, they still have access to th ecompany folders as well.
Hope this helps.

How to use count sql statement?

i've never used the count function and i'm not sure how to use it to print it onto a html page...my code is below...

You cannot cast a ResultSet object (or any other object for that matter) to a primitive (such as an int)
Replace the following line of code:
int position = (int)SQLResult2 + 1;with this:
int position = 0;
if(SQLResult2.next())
position = SQLResult2.getInt(1) + 1;
}Additionally I noticed that you have put single quotes around total in the following line:
String Query2 = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM userteam WHERE total > '"+total+"'";Are you sure that the total column in the userteam table is of string type? If not, you don't need the single quotes.
