can u pls help on this
thanks.

Can you please post the logic and the error you are getting?

Error when running allocation logic

I am running the following allocation logic and get the following error:
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
*DIM P_ACCT WHAT=CE0004010; WHERE=CE0004020; USING=CE0004030; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM ENTITY WHAT=A1000; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM TIME WHAT=2009.JAN; WHERE=>>>; USING=BAS(2009.TOTAL); TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
UJP_RULE_EXCEPTION:Missing [] on property name: WHAT=CE0004010. I get this error when executing the script using the program "UJK_SCRIPT_LOGIC_TESTER". I also get a similar error when running it via the data manager package.
Any thoughts on why this error is happening?

Hi Sanjay,
I think you are using formula property for any of the dimension member used in the Allocation logic.
FYI Allocation will not work fine for the dimension members which is calculated using the formula written in the formula Property.
There is no problem with your script it looks fine.
Hope this might help you.

How to Run Allocation in Outlooksoft Everest 4.2 or SAP BPC 5.1

Hello,
Currently we use OS Everest 4.2 and we are in the Process of installing SAP BPC 5.1. We haven't used OS or BPC for allocation. I am trying to find a document that helps us guide through the process of creating a Allocation rules / formulas.
We found a Allocation Manual in Old Outlooksoft Support site and tried using it but it doesn't work or may be I am doing something wrong.
This is a Sample Allocation formula that we were just trying to see if it works.
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/100
*DIM ACCOUNTS WHAT=AMOUNT; WHERE=<<<; USING = COUNT
*DIM ENTITY WHAT=EAST; WHERE=EAST;USING<>EAST
*ENDALLOCATION
*COMMIT
It gives us an error shown below when validating the Logic: shown below
Update Excel file to Server
Getting formulas
Creating LGF file
Validating logic
*ValidateFormula: Invalid instruction: RUNALLOCATION
Error occured
If you have any documents that will show the step by step instructions on how ALLOCATION works and how to implement, please send it. I didn't find any thing in the helpfile. Its very difficult to figure out without any documentation.
I would appreciate any help.. Thanks a lot !!!

First of all, I am feeling for you. It is very hard situation that thousand of users has own local "MyDocument" folder in local PC.
Folder structure between 5.1 and 4.2 is almost identical. Only difference is name of folder in My Documents. It was "Everest" in 4.2 but "OutlookSoft" in 5.1.
And there is couple more differences but it is going to recover automatically. Something like dimension cache, appinfo archive.
So, I like to suggest rename current "Everest" to "OutlookSoft" in My Documents. And do some test. I think biggest issue of here is report functionality between two versions.
At least, simple rename procedure is much easier than copy all reports to correct path.
I'm praying for your luck.

BPC 7.5NW Allocation Logic

Hello Gurus,
Suppose we need to allocate rent 1000(source) to 2 entities A & B ( ex: 500,500).. After send & refresh in input schedule , the source will become zero. Now, for some other purpose, we once agn press send & refresh button to enter some other data. But, when we do so, our allocation logic should not execute. If it is executed, then ZERO will b allocated to both entities as zero is current source value. So, how can we do this in allocation logic. Can I have the code plz. Its urgent

Hello,
You can achieve this by utilizing additional Dimensions in your RUNALLOCATION, like DataSrc. Idea is, that you have your initial value in Account = C, DataSrc = Manual, but when you make Account 'C' zero you post it to DataSrc = Posted.
In report you keep DataSrc = Manual if you need to show the old value or DataSrc = <ALL> if you need to show value zero.
This way RUNALLOCATION will post only values user entered without taking into affect offsets posted.
Hope you got the idea.

Gersh

Error while running allocation: Driver stored in Rate Application

Hi,
I have the allocation driver stored in the Rate application.
I have a custom application which has different dimensions than the Rate application. In the allocation logic I pick up the driver from the Rate Application -
e.g. *APP WHAT=MYPLANNING; WHERE=MYPLANNING; USING=RATE
When I run the allocation I get the following error. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
thx

Script logic - how to use a selection variable within an allocation logic

Hi,
I want to implement a simple top-down distribution to distribute values from a yearly budget (Y20xx.TOTAL) to a quarter budget (Q20xx.Q1, ... Q20xx.Q4) using the actuals of the previous year as reference.
If we hard code the members it works fine:
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN); USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM TIME WHAT=Y2009.TOTAL; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL); USING=BAS(Q2008.TOTAL); TOTAL=<<<
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=SBO; WHERE=<<<; USING=ACTUAL; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
Of course, we want to make this dynamic, using the values inputted in the selection screen of the package: time, entity and category.
So if we start with write the following logic, it does not work anymore:
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN); USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM TIME WHAT=%TIME_DIM%; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL); USING=BAS(Q2008.TOTAL); TOTAL=<<<
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=%CATEGORY_DIM%; WHERE=<<<; USING=ACTUAL; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
So, how to use the selection variables in this allocation logic? %TIME%, %CATEGORY% also did not work ...
regards
Dries
solved it ...
Edited by: Dries Paesmans on Feb 22, 2009 8:31 PM

Hi Dries,
Looks like you solved this, but if I can just add a small point -- when you use syntax like this:
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN);
*DIM TIME WHAT=Y2009.TOTAL; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL);
each time the logic runs, it will scan through the dimension from the FIN and Q2009.TOTAL members, one level at a time, until it reaches the base members (where calc = 'n'). This may happen very quickly, if the dimension has very few levels, but could take a bit of extra time if it's a particularly deep dimension. (By which I mean many levels of hierarchy -- not some 1970's Pink Floyd musical reference.)
You may speed things up by using a member property instead of the BAS(xyz). Flag all the base members using a specific property value, and that way the logic engine can pick up the complete list of members in the WHERE clause, in a single query.
*DIM Account What=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; Where=[FloydProperty]="DarkSideOfTheMoon"; ...
This adds some maitenance work in the dimension, which may be problematic if your admins are changing it regularly (and will cause problems if they forget to update this particular property).
I can't predict how much time this will save you (maybe not much at all), but anyway I figure you'd want to know exactly what work you're asking the system to perform.

Tim

Addition of values after allocation logic instead of overwrite 7.50.05 NW

Hi Gurus
I am writing an allocation logic where I am allocating some values in a ratio of sales. but there is already some value in the fields i am allocating into and after this logic, the new vales are overwriting the existing one. But my requirement is to add those values in exsting values. Please let me know how to do it.
as a work around, I am copying the values into a differnt account, then running the allocation on that one and then adding this into the original account. is there any easier way for this.
Regards
Swathi

Hi Swathi,
Overwriting is the nature of planning. So, not only allocation overwrites results - all planning functions do this. The only exception is if you do multiple calculations in same construct - those will be added. Reason for this is, that user can run same planning function multiple times and you don't want those results to add up.
So, if you want to summarize what was there before allocation and after you have to have additional Dimension, DataSrc for example, and have values in that Dimension different in existing data and in allocated. This will keep them separate. In report, do not show break-down by that additional Dimension and you'll see total of the old value and the new one.
Please let me know if this is not what you were looking for.

Run allocation based on condition matched

Hi SAP friends,
I need to run allocation based on condition matched, is it possible with IIF or another statement?
the logical view is below (syntax is wrong):
*RUNALLOCATION
IIF(BAS(ACCOUNT_01)<>0,
*FACTOR = USING/TOTAL
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT = ACCOUNT_52; WHERE=BAS(ACCOUNT_01); Using=BAS(ACCOUNT_01); TOTAL=BAS(ACCOUNT_01)
*FACTOR = 1
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT = ACCOUNT_52; WHERE=ACCOUNT_10)
*ENDALLOCATION
thanks a lot.

Hi Vadim,

Run Allocation Package - Execute formulasError- updated

Hi Experts,
I have the following allocation script logic:
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
*DIM COPAACCOUNT   WHAT=[EXPORT_ALLOC_BASIS]='Stat Cases'; WHERE=<<<;      USING=COPAVVSCA;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM PRODUCT       WHERE=[CATEGORY]='%PRODUCT_SET%';   USING=<<<;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM CUSTOMER      WHAT=ALC_CG_01; WHERE=[SHPTO_LEVEL]='ALC_CG_01';   USING=<<<;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM DATASRC       WHAT=11_INPUT;   WHERE=11_ALLOC;   USING=11_INPUT;   TOTAL=<<<;
*ENDALLOCATION
*COMMIT
Now on my package I put the following input:
Version: Actual
Entity: EntityA
Time: 2009.MAR
Product: PROD_CAT_001,PROD_CAT_002,PROD_CAT_003,PROD_CAT_004,PROD_CAT_005
After running the package, I get the following error:
Execute formulasError
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string 'PROD_CAT_001'. in:
select [ID] from mbrPRODUCT where [CATEGORY]='PROD_CAT_001
What could be causing this error??
Notes:
1. I don't encounter this error when I only select 1 product member.
2. Actually, there are 500 product members that needs to be allocated. I let the users input the product members for allocation so that they would only input those with values.
3. I tried using a FOR/NEXT which would read all the 500 product members, but my logic hangs when I validate and save it.
Update:
I see now the problem, my logic is processing all of my selection in the DM as one:
WHERE=[CATEGORY]='PROD_CAT_001,PROD_CAT_002,PROD_CAT_003,PROD_CAT_004,PROD_CAT_005'
instead of processing them one at a time. Is there a way to do so? I've tried using FOR/NEXT but it's making my logic hang when I validate and save it since I have to select 500 product members. Allocation logic is repeated 500 times. Is there a way to calculate each member without using FOR/NEXT?
Hope you could help me,
Marvin

Hi Raman,
Thanks for your prompt response.
But I am still facing a couple of problems:
1. First ASIARENT.INPUT is not a dimension member but a member, so I am not sure how to assign it to Expression. Could you please throw some light on it.
2. Second, I haven't changed the ASIARENT.INPUT part, so may be the problem is because of this, but I am getting an error when I am running the DM Pacage. In the formula logic, its says - Missing file. So, please suggest if the package code is correct, esp. when I am calling the script logic.
I would highly appreciate your help guys.
Thanks

Can we run script logic at the time of preparing reports.

Helo Everybody!
I am new to SAP BPC.
Can we run script logic at the time of preparing reports.
Thanks & Regards,
Satish.

If you mean, "Can we run script logic at the time of preparing reports" is equivalent to entering data into the report and sending it to the database, then yes, you may run logic as Marcel indicates. Defualt logic is ALWAYS run for ANY and EVERY set of data that is sent via an input template from the field. You may also run logic when posting a jOURNAL entry as well. But be careful....if default logic attempts to perform to MANY or COMPLEX calculations, the time it takes to complete the process may not be in expectations with the users plans. There is a fine design balance required when planning to run logic at the time of input, as opposed to running in a package or at specific times during the day.
Hope this helps.

MacPro Quad Core 32g Ram running slow Logic using only 9g in Activity Monitor

Well its taken a while, but this is my first foray into the world of forums! I'm so hacked off with this regular problem and havent been able to find anything anywhere to solve it i thought i'd see if anyone has any similiar issues and maybe even a solve to it.
So.... im an orchestrator and producer and after my mid 2008 Macbook Pro with 8g ram started freezing up i invested in this 3 years ago -
Mac Pro 2x 2.4ghz Quad Core intel Xeon and stuck in 32gb of lovely Crucial RAM and 3 seperate internal 1TB drives with one for operating system (10.6.8), one for Audio recording/saving and one for all my sample libraries.
32gb ram - should be enough i thought!
So i regularly run at least 30 VI's - Ni The giant, Spitfire Orchestral librabies (say 12 string instruments up to 0.69g per load) LASS strings, plus perc STYLUS, ABBEY road drums, Trillian basses (acoustic/electric), ominisphere etc etc. So pretty hefty sample instruments. But theyre sooo nice!!
In addition, the 32 bit server will come alive (NOT! So unstable i find) with my Waves plugs etc.
Looking at ACTIVITY MONITOR however i might be not touching 9 gig (and sometimes even less) of usage for Logic, and only say 800MB for 32 bit server and have NOTHING else open - and what do i find .....
- Mouse lag and cant really do anything with the mouse whilst playing the track - cant adjust volume - too slow, zooming problems
- Takes a good 2-3 seconds for track to stop playing
Dont get System OVERLOADS so much, its just that the system goes REALLLLLY slow.
What ive tried- - -
- Running Mountain Lion off another drive (havent had time to install it and wanted to be sure everything worked etc)
- Tried all audio prefs - large/small buffers/threads etc and yes i am on 1024.
in a nutshell how come with 32g RAM everything is so slow when barely using 10g of that???????
I dread getting to the end of a project cos i know im gonna be freezing so much, but with so much editing all the time for the orchestral parts i need everything unfrozen and working.
Sorry if this is long winded but wanted to describe what im experiencing.
Any feedback most welcome! Thankyou in advance.

The 32bit server is a pita: Waves v9 are 64bit compatible (they run fine). 32 bit VI's can be run outside Logic using Vienna Ensemble Pro (see later)

Some of these VI's are extremely CPU hungry: Abbey Rd drums for example, really do hammer the CPU. What does Logic's Performance meter show in the way of CPU load. What does Activity Monitor show regarding CPU load?
With 32G of RAM, this should not be the issue, but you might have general CPU problems (see above), and you may also have Sample disk streaming limitations if all the Loibraries you mention are on the same drive. How does Activity Monitor look regarding disk access? You might find it helpful to add a second drive and split the sample libraries across 2 for faster disk access.
I presume that you have plenty of free space on the System drive?
Logic can get sluggish if the Undo info gets way too big, and also if there are loads of regions in the Arrange: check Options:Project Information.
Many are finding some benefits (me included) by running the VI's in Vienna Ensemble Pro:
Better CPU load distribution than directly in Logic
"Persistant Samples": they can remain loaded whilst you switch Logic Projects
Logic is effectively running much less itself, so generally flies.
32bit Plugs hosted separately in VEP so no 32bit Bridge issues in Logic
Something to consider,though perhaps not yet, would be setting up a Slave computer using VEP.

Using a filter in RUN Allocation

Does anyone know how to use a filter in the WHAT, WHERE clauses in RUN Allocation?
I need to use something like WHERE=%STAT_ACCTS% AND [GROUP]<>"PL" but it dosen't work.
On the contrary, is there a way to get the basemembers of a parent ID based on a filter?
I could also use something like *XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT =BAS(STACCTS) AND [GROUP]<>"PL" but XDIM_MEMBERSET does not support conditions.
Thanks in advance for help!

Thanks for the replies... but my problem is still not solved... if either of the following could work that would solve this:
a) have my xdim_memberset set to only those products which meet the condition [LEVEL]="seg" and are the bas members of the product i pick from the hierarchy. For this i would need a select statement which works like:
*SELECT(%SKU%,[ID],"PRODUCT","[PARENTH1]=%PRODUCT_SET% AND [LEVEL]='SEG' ")
OR
b) a way to create a variable using xdim_filter that i can use anywhere else in my code
c) put a condition in the WHERE clause of the allocation script so i could use something like:
DIM PRODUCT WHAT=something; WHERE=BAS(%PRODUCT_SET%) AND [LEVEL]="SEG";
but none of the above options are working

I have purchased a mac mini only to find I am unable to run Logic pro 9 , is there any way this can be achieved? It has been suggested that I partition the drive and install a copy of an older operating system to run the Logic Pro, is this feasible?

Only with a whole lot of effort and instability. As the new Minis have
hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
running 10.6.8. I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
be enough to be unusable is the question.

Can we run 3 logics at a time through Default logic?

Hi,
I would like to run 3 script logics through Default logic at a time. I mean
all the 3 logics should run, when I import the data through DM. Is it possible
to run 3 logics at a time?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
B.S.RAGHU

Hi,
This is possible. You just have to use the INCLUDE statement in your default logic (INCLUDE FXtrans.lgl for example), and then save and validate both logic scripts.
If you have to launch a logic in another application, by passing it some parameters for example, you can of course use RUNLOGIC statement, as said in the above thread. But the easiest way is to use INCLUDE.
Hope this will help.

Run Script Logic/Package from a different Application

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario here that I need to run a package from a different application. For example, I'm in Finance application and I need to run a package which is in the LegalApp application, is it possible to call that package or perhaps run the logic it was calling without having switch back to LegalApp.
Thanks,
Marvin

To run a package that runs logic on another application, you could copy a package such as "Default Formulas" and put the name of the target application in the new package's name. Then go to Modify Package --> Advanced. Edit the package to set the application as below. The LegalApp (for example) is set on the third Task command. Default logic is called on fifth.
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%CHECKLCK%,"Select whether to check work status settings when running logic.",1,{"Yes, check for work status settings before running logic","No, do not check work status settings"},{"1","0"})
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,%CATEGORY_DIM%%ENTITY_DIM%%TIME_DIM%)
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,LegalApp)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,)
TASK(Execute formulas,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)
