BPC10 / BPC7.5 NW: the use of US ellimination business rule for matrix elim

In tryuing to make the US Elim business rule work:
-     Can the US elim procedure support the elimination between an entity and intco AND a segment and partner segment in the same app ? So basically the need is to eliminate intercompany transactions between the management structure (entity and interco) and the segment structure (or LOB structure as you will) that are in two different dimensions ( in other words an entity can belong to more than one segment and therefore they cannot have the segment in the same entity dimension and need to have a second dimension for that). Now the problem is that I have one entity dim and an intco dim, and two user defined dimensions (one for segment and one for partner_segement, aka the intco belonging to the segment). I believe this cannot be done since the US Elim procedure will look for a dimension of type entity and of type intco and therefore will only work on those two dimensions. It will not work with the user defined dimensions.
-     Meaning, that if that is the case, you have to move your segment dimension into your entity dimension as an unrelated second hierarchy. Ofcourse the downside is then that you will clutter the entity dimension with this segment information and you have to enter your data twice (as ideally you wanted to enter the data for entity XYZ and then distribute the number over the various segments, that now becomes a bit more chunkier). What is a best practice if you need to eliminate on two different axisses like legal entity and management structure or Lobu2019s etcu2026
-     If using the US elim procedure, do you technically need a GROUPS dimension in your application ? The documentation mentions it in its example, but since it is not used anywhere in a typical application that uses US eliminations (as it is more for legal consolidation applications where you need it), I was wondering if you can leave it out.
A quick answer is highly appreciated. Short words/clues or simple yes or no are more than enough. No need to write prozau2026.
Thanks,
*edwin

Jianbai-- when you see 0 submitted 0 success 0 fail..
it just means that there is no data tht suits the us-elim criterion.
For the package parameters...
1)make sure that there is data for the CATEGORY
2)The CURRENCY has its reporting property set to Y
3)There are INtercompany transaction entries between 2 ENTITIES and their ELIM property(ENTITIES involved) is NOT "Y".
4)In 3, make sure the ACCOUNT being used for the intercompany transactions have their ELIMACC property NOT BLANK.
then you shld be all set !!!...if you configured your DATASRC (is_consolidated property(it shld be eith I/M) dimension correctly ...
you don't even need any business rules to have your ICELIM working..
Best luck

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

How to use Java objects in business rules 11g

I have made one business rule with two XML facts and then follow one doc to create the java facts.But I am unable to use the facts.

No Java Facts are created,but as I have mentioned XML input and output facts at the time of creation of business rules,so I am not able to use java fact in business rule.

Unable to use DIMLIST property in business rules

Hi Team,
We have updated Account dimension with TYPELIM(10), DIMLIST(20) properties and in AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT DETAILS in the SOURCE ACCT when we update it with valid account ID or TYPELIM property value, it validates sucessfully.But, when we update it with Valid DIMLIST property value, it throws an error <Property Value> value does not exists in ID,TYPELIM of Account dimension. We are able to see the DIMLIST property values in the list of available options.
We are unable to use the DIMLIST property in other business rules and for FLOW dimension also.
Server Details : BPC MS 7.0 SP3 patch level 2
Appreciate if you can give your inputs on this.Please let me know if I need to provide any other information.
Kranthi

Hi Kranthi,
Based on my observation the source account column specification in the Automatic Adjustment Details business rule allows only to specify a member of either account id or TYPELIM property from account dimension. Other properties not available for the selection.
Hope this helps.

Badrish

Using Global variables in business rules

In EAS after expanding the Business Rules section there is a Global Variables section. I have created some global variables in this section and I am trying to use them in the Rule editor and not having much luck. Are they retrieved differently to local variables...Currently this is how I am calling them within a FIX....
FIX([Global_Varaiable])
calculation;
EndFix
Please correct me if I am wrong, also can any one provide some good documentation and some gd links for writing business rules. I'm just starting out to create some business rule which runs on save on some input forms I am creating and finding it rather difficult.... :-(..
Many Thanks
Stephen

Hi,
Global variables will work in the same way as local variables so you are using them correctly.
Business rules are just really glorified calc scripts, if you want to know about calc script commands have a read of the tech ref :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/frameset.htm?launch.htm
It will have all the calculation commands and functions and descriptions on how they work.
Cheers

Use CardScan to read business cards for Mac?

Cardscan is a very useful device to scan business cards for address details with one drawback, it is not compatible with Mac software.
Judging from the cardscan website comments, this will not be the case in the foreseeable future. However, the optical character reader in that program is excellent and eats data correctly most of the time.
There are ways to use Cardscan via a windows machine and then with all sorts of intermediate steps get address details into Mac AddressBook, but that process is so cumbersome that in real life I do that once every 3-6 months.
Is there an alternative to Cardscan (which is just as good) for a Mac, or alternatively, is there someone out there who would like to take up this challenge and make some software to let cardscan communicate direcyly with a Mac?
I would love to pay for such software and I bet I am not alone in that.
If we identify such a person and I get enough responses here, we could set up a fund via http://www.fundable.org/ to get it financed at no risk (i.e. if we do not raise enough $$ everybody gets their money back).
Would love to have some feedback here.

This is mostly speculation or brainstorming.
Use cardscan with a PC. Then use Plaxo (with Outlook if you like) to collect the cards to a central server. There is a beta version of Plaxo integrated with the Address book. The beta is not perfect. Once it goes live I would expect a smooth process for keeping both a PC and a Mac in sync when it comes to business cards.
Plaxo also supports a web interface if you need to access the data that way.

In the tranformation i have deleted a rule for an info object material?

Hi all,
In the transformation i have deleted a rule for an info object material and then moved into quality. The number of columns is 10 after the material is excluded.
And the same transport moveed to production with warning messages.
the number of columns is 11 and it is not 10 when i check in the quality!!
Can anyone help me on this!!
thanks
Pooja

Hi,
As you said you removed the rule in transformation for an object (attribute) in matreila master data object.
Number of column/attrbute will remain same when you will see data in master data object (material). It is just the mapping from source is removed so you will not see any data in that attribute/column for whihc you have removed the rule/transformation.
For removing column you need to remove attribute/Info Object from Master data object (Material) attribute list.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

Using dataexport in a business rules and define the filename with a sub var

Hi,
I have created a calc script to export data using DATAEXPORT, and to define the filename an essbase variable.
Here all right
I copy this code to a business rules to run it from a business rules, but I have a problem with the essbase variable, when I validate it, it gives me the error:
Detail:Encountered "&FileNm" at line 28, column 26.
Was expecting:
My essbase variable is set to:
"e:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\app\TMPGB\dataexportCustomerY2.txt"
in double quote
How anyone use in a Business rules with the command dataexport an essbase substitution variable

Just tried:
Script: DATAEXPORT "File" " " &Filename "#Missing";
SubsVar: "c:\DataExtract.txt"
it worked with no issues.

Garageband - does it allow for the use of software like "ILIO Origins for EXS/GIGA?"

I am completely new to the modern world of iOS (just bought a Apple iMac ME089LL/A 27-Inch Desktop), and Garageband, and recording music and such. I've watched enough tutorials now to know that Garageband has virtual instrument libraries. I want to know if Garageband will allow for the use of more sophisticated sounds, specifically those in the ILIO Origins for EXS/GIGA

I am also baffled. I tried to find this "default Captivate quiz" in the help section of Captivate with no results. When I again contacted the representative, he closed the conversation before speaking with me.

User Variable Options: How can I use them in a Business Rule?

How can I use a "User Variable" set in File / Preferences in a Business Rule? It doesn't seem to appear as an Essbase Substitution Variable or as a Global Variable of Business Rules. The only way I know how to use it is to place the dimension on the POV or Page dimension of a data form, then use a Global Variable in a run time prompt to pick the member and run a BR against it, or some function of it.
What do I do if I want to have that dimension in Columns or Rows? How can I set a BR to directly reference the member chosen under User Variable Options?
J

Thanks Alp, but I can't seem to reproduce what you are writing below. I want to refer my Business Rule to address the value set in File / Preferences / User Variable Options; no matter what members I show elsewhere in the data form.
My other workaround is through a run time prompt and hope the user selects the appropriate user variable at the very bottom of the selection list in order to calculate the appropriate list of members.

Using URL Alias in "main rule" for a new portal desktop.

Hi
I am having a scenario :
I am having two different business functionality. For accessing them separately i have to create to different portal desktops. Each one will have there own iviews and roles.
BUT
They can have similar user ids.
I.e. same user can access both the deskops based on option selected by him.
Supposed Implementation which i am thinking :
i will create a html page with 2 buttons :
1st button : Application 1
2nd button : Application 2
I will map these buttons/Links to following URL.
Application 1 : irj/poral/application1
Application 2 : irj/poral/application2
On clicking either of these buttons/Links user will get a login screen for SAPNETWEAVER PORTAL.
After login which desktop to be displayed will be decided using following MASTER RULE :
Now i will create a master rule with "URL ALIAS" in IF condition.
My Master rule will look like this :
IF URLAlias = irj/poral/application1 THEN desktop = Application1
IF URLAlias = irj/poral/application2 THEN desktop = Application2
Now I am having 2 questions in mind :
Is this possible ?
How to create URL Alias for a desktop ?? (Or do i need to create a URL alias for desktop !!)
I cant try it until and unless i am sure !!
Please comment on my scenario....
Or tell me if there are some other options.........!!

Saurabh,
yes this should work, you have to create the aliases application1 & application2 in the web.xml (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/de/48/1d5d0171364269e10000000a421937/frameset.htm)
I think, the initial page with the buttons shouldn't be located in the portal, because then the users would be already logged on (but you can place it on the java-stack at the plain http anyway)
but keep in mind, that you have to create an alias in web.xml & a master rule for each alias you want to have.

Whether I can create the substitution according to some business rule in WF

Hi ,guys,
    now I have a problem in creating the workflow business workplace substitution ,my scenario is that we want to create a substitution , the condition of creating shall follow certain rule(for example:production group ,or industry and so on ). that is to say ,manager A is genuine task A's agent .but he is on vacation .so he will create the substitution .assign his task to his office clerk A and clerk B .the clerk A is responsible for production group 0105 's approving task,and the clerk B is responsible or production group 0610's approving task . the clerk A can not receive the clerk B's work item ,and the clerk B is the same as .it is seem like resolve manager A's approving authorization to two person .
    and I have checked the SAP standard substitution function . it is only work for assign the substitution without the any rule ,isn't ?
    how can i realize the above the scenario ?can you give me detail solution ? thank very much .
    sorry ,I have post this topic already yesterday,but I have not understood it how to do yet,so post it again .thanks .

Hi,
You're not the only one,
The same issue came up on the workflow forum (SAP netweaver --> Business Process Management)
WQF builder: Wizard fails on the generation of a start form
So you can tell your client, that if they want this to happen, they should "bother" SAP ( you can lobby to change this in Standard SAP if your company is in a SAP User group, but this will take a long time and you're never sure if they will do it)
Kind regards, Rob dielemans

Excel 2010 locks up when using Smartview to run Business Rule

I've been testing Smart View 9.3..3 with Excel 2010.
If (from within Smart View) I navigate to Hyperion>Calculation Options>Business Rules, Excel locks up and only an 'End Process' will close it down.
As a workaround the Rule that the user needs to run has been attached to a Form & this works correctly, wondered if anyone else had seen this ?
Thanks

re: more excel crashing
Well you asked about other ideas so...
1. Turn off Auto-Save
2. Turn off file-sharing
3. Locate the XLSTART directory, move everything there someplace else.
4. You disabled all add-ins, but does that include Com add-ins and the other flavors.
5. Does the user have an anti-virus app installed - disable it.
6. Doug Robbins (Word MVP) has an exhaustive list of problems/solutions for crashes in Office 2013.
There will be overlap with Office 2010...

Do I use Service Catalogue or Business Services for this?

Hi
I'm just looking at implementing System Centre Service Manager - I'm an ITIL expert but not a Microsoft techie so bear with me!
I need to represent 130ish Services within SCSM which are different products we sell and support for our clients. Incidents, changes, releases etc will then be logged against these services, not the individual chunks of hardware.
How and where do I set these up in SCSM?? I had assumed it was setting up Business services? Is that correct?
Do the business services initially have to be associated with hardware held in SCCM or can we have a POC with a standalone service?
A bit fat pointer would be usefu right now!
Thanks

You are right: Business Services can be used for this.
You only need to specify a Display Name for the new Business Service. No other information are mandatory or requiered to create a Business Service in SCSM.
