BPF Workspace context overrides EPM report Context

Hi Experts,
I am encountering a strange issue, where I am unable to refresh the report for a different context member. For example I have access to two entities A and B and the workspace context in BPF shows A.
Scenario1
1) Open the BPF Activity(with workspace context set to entity A).
2) Report opens with the entity selection as A.
3) When I try to change the entity A to B (in Epmselectmember) and refresh, the report rollsback to entity selection A and refreshes for Entity A.
Scenario 2
1) Open the BPF Activity(with workspace context set to entity A).
2) Change the context to B in workspace context. (refer to screenshot1)
3) Open the report, refresh the report refreshes the data for entity B. (means i have access to the member B as well)
4) Again if I try to change from B to A in the report , it is defaulted again to entity B.
So what ever the context is in the workspace context that is overriden on the report context and doesn't allow to change. Context defined in hyperlinks
Thanks,
Rohit

Dear,
This is how it should work. If there is a need to change the value of a dimension then context should not be set in BPF.
It looks like your design is wrong here.
While designing BPF, you need to identify the context dimensions and driving dimensions. These are the dimensions, which will be set from the BPF & Activity. Rest of the dimensions can be changed by user through EPM Context.
Hope this helps!

  • EPM Report Query

    Hi Experts,
    I have a few queries on creating EPM report:
    1. Sometimes, when I create a report, the report did not start on the first line / row of the excel sheet even though my cursor is on the first cell (column A, row 1). The report will start at a few lines below and I can't remove the empty lines above. No page axis selection is selected. Why is it happening?
    2. The EPM context contains default selection. In my sheet options, I have selected "Remove Empty and Zeros Values". 
    When I put selections of the dimensions in the EPM pane, the report on what I have selected will be displayed. If my selections does not exist (empty values), I am expecting nothing will be displayed in my report. However, the default selections of EPM context is displayed. Some more, in the report, the line contains the EPM context data is being hide. I am expecting nothing as the default selections of EPM context does not exist too (empty values). It should not display as I have selected "Remove Empty and Zeros Values".
    Appreciate if anyone can provide some feedback.
    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Ng

    1. No issues with first line (EPM SP17)
    2. Looks like it's by design - at least one column and one row of the report has to be present (even hidden).

  • Inserting titles between multiple dynamic EPM reports

    Hi,
    I am currently working on some templates where there are multiple dynamic EPM reports with shared column dimensions and multiple dimensions in the rows.  I am using EPM Add-in SP21 patch 1.
    We would like to have a section title appearing between the reports, I have tried a number of methods but have not found a solution that produces quality results.
    Methods tried:
    1. A local member on the row inserted at the start of the second report.  The local member text appears in the right most row dimension column which is not the right place for a title.  Also the titles for the dimension rows are not copied.
    2. Insert a dummy member and override the member name.  There are a couple of problems with this method, subsequent dimension ID's are populated and local members are also applied to this member.
    3. EPMInsertCellsBeforeAfterBlock.  I only managed to get this to copy a single cell into the data columns, not the row dimension columns.
    4. Use VBA to add a title.  The API GetDataTopLeftCell will return the starting position of data in a specific report.  This can then be used to insert text into the previous line as a title.  The disadvantage here is that VBA is being used but it can be used to produce the required results though you need to handle formatting and any password protection within the VBA.
    I imagine that this is quite a common requirement.  Ideally I would like to solve this without resorting to VBA or some exotic workaround.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Mark

    Dear Vadim
    I want results similar to what I have achieved using VBA.  Where I have one row for column titles, which I am copying using Excel formulas, these should appear on every column including the dimension columns.  On the row above this should be a subsection title, in this example this is "Bezüger"
    The screen shots contain two reports, one below the other with shared column axis.  The second report has been shifted down by a couple of rows to introduce a break between the reports.
    Using VBA I inserted titles onto two rows, with a section title above a repeat of the original column header.
    The best that I have achieved using local members resulted in a title being on the right most column, and there being no way to put title column header above the dimension columns.
    I have played around with all the options for the local member but find no way to make the title appear in the left most column.
    In this screen shot, the local member is disabled, because I have replaced it with the VBA solution.
    I hope that the updated screen shots make this clearer to you.

    Mark

  • Empty rows, Columns  in EPM reports

    Thru the EPM new report creation ICON,  I am selecting rows and columns to create new report.
    I am selecting nearly 20 accounts in account selection most of them are parent account.
    However while displaying the report inbetween some of the accounts I need to leave empty rows and put some summation totals.
    Is it possible to leave many blank lines in between some of the accounts? How to do it?
    Similarly in the column I have selected time dimension and inbetween some months I need to put some local member formula.
    Does the EPM report works like that? Or do I have to go for EPMretrievedata based  reports.
    Appreciate inputs.

    Please, search forum about static reports, I have explained this approach number of times.

  • EPM report question

    I have EPM report created dynamically for all base level member of the hierarchy.However in the left most coumn, I need to show the top most parent of these base level account.How to achieve this in reporting? For example ....my current state is Account 1: Amount Account 2: Amount My future requirement is Parent of account 1: Account 1: Amount Parent of Account 2: Account 2: Amount Is it possible to achieive this in report. I have nearly 500 accounts depends on which parent Iam running the report for.How toachieve this in dynamic repot(not the EPM retrieve formula) based report. Appreciate inputs

    Hi there,
    I understand the set up of the report, but fail to understand the reason for the structure of the report being the way it is - especially because the folks who run the reports know the account structure.
    Anyways, as you know, in BPC reports we cannot have the same dimension show up more than once in the same axis.  You may however use a local member (for example, to retrieve the description for "Assets") and insert this local member before the column axis.  Hope this helps.

  • The efficient way to repair broken EPM report

    Hi experts,
    I'm looking for the efficient way to repair broken EPM report.
    In following cases, the relevant EPM reports are broken and I can't push "Edit report" (gray out) and lose connection to model...
    i) In removing dimension from a model (ex. rename dimension ID, add & delete it)
    ii) in removing member which is located on page axis of EPM report.
    To avoid the situation, I make a point of taking following measures:
    i) - clean up the dimension that I want to delete from axis of EPM report before remove it from relevant model
    ii) - clean up the member from EPM report before removing it.
    However these measures terribly bothered me if number of relevant EPM reports is too large... If these reports can connect to model or be able to "Edit report", the work will be more efficient.
    Do you mind if you tell me a good idea?
    Regards,
    Masa

    Hi Vadim,
    Here's the example in appearing issue ii).
    No i) is my misconception, sorry...
    in opening the broken EPM report:
    This dialog appears if the member that has already removed is located in pase axis. Unfortunately, this broken report isn't able to execute "Edit Report".
    My question is how I can repair the report by something to do. Please help me...
    Best regards,
    Masa

  • Overriding sub-report queries in CF8 with function calls

    There is not enough information in the documentation about
    overriding sub-report queries using functions. I can not figure out
    how the function call is to be passed.
    Here is the page and quote from the livedocs:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_r-s_07.html
    "Note: You cannot specify a subreport query that depends on
    arguments from the master report. Instead, you can define a CFML
    function or CFC method that returns the subreport query given the
    arguments from the master report. ColdFusion calls this code when
    it executes the subreport."
    If I send over just the function call as a string it throws
    an error that it must be a query. If I evaluate it with # then it
    appears to make the call once before creating the report and uses
    the same query for the sub-report for every single master report
    record.
    My example report is simple. Retrieve a query of contacts
    records. The contact records have a state field which is the
    parameter for the sub-report. The sub-report performs a query and
    presents related information.
    I am trying to optimize this by pre-processing the queries
    for each state into memory, then pass a function that is to be used
    to get the correct sub-report query from memory.
    I have tried all variations that I can think of with no
    success. If I try to pass variables to the function that exist in
    the report, such as query and param, errors are thrown. I can only
    access variables already created earlier in my code which makes me
    think that the function is being evaluated once in the cfqueryparam
    tag. I can not find a way to delay evaluation so that it is
    evaluated for each call to the sub-report instead.

    I'm following the instructions laid out in the livedocs for
    advanced queries with CFML :
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=reportBuilder_17.html
    However the Report Builder won't save the CFML I enter.
    Everytime I go back to the Advanced query there are just blank
    query tags. Most of the time it doesn't even show that any changes
    were made to the report at all. The little asterisks does not
    appear next to the report name tab which indicates if there are
    unsaved changes. At some point I got it to save some code but it
    had a mistake and I couldn't get it to save the corrected code.
    This is very frustrating. I'm putting in a bug report for at
    least the saving of CFML in the advanced query section.

  • BPF Instance could not open Report

    Hi All,
    I have created some reports in "ADMIN" folder in BPC. After that I created a BPF and BPF instance to call the report. I put the path "..\..\Team Files\ADMIN\eEXCEL" before the report name after selecting the report in Step Action area.
    But when I am performing the BPF step thorugh web interface, it gives me error - could not open "HTTP://BASISFT8.IN.IBM.COM/TeamA/SALES_PLANNING/Team Files/ADMIN/eEXCEL/REPORTS/XXXXX/xlt".
    Do I have to compulsory store the reports in "LOCAL" folder for BPF to call it ? As when I keep the report in "LOCAL" folder, BPF displays the report successfully.
    Request your inputs.
    Regards
    Sagar Karale

    Hi All,
    My user ID is memeber of ADMIN team and ADMIN team is assigned in Access to BPF.
    I have created reports and saved in ADMIN folder in BPC
    Under Step Action, I am able to browse and select my report. Once selected it updates the parameter value.
    When executed the instance, it shows error message "could not open "(report path and name)"
    The path on the error message is correct path, still it says could not open. Somehow it only opens reports in COMPANY folder. For reports from ADMIN folder I used ..\..\ to arrive at correct path, it didn work. I just selected report from browse window, it also didn work. Got the same error both times.

  • Does workspace work with EPM only?

    I didn't install performance management architecture, but I installed workspace, however, when I want to open the default workspace URL(http://localhost:80/workspace), a screen pop up and let me save the unrecognized file instead of popping up a login screen?What could be the reson I get this error. I use Windows XP?

    Hi,
    1. No, workspace works without EPM too.
    2. Any more information in logs or so would be helpful to resolve your issue. But, you can defintely install workspace without installing performance management architect.

  • EPM report - sum by property

    Hi Experts,
    Just to be sure - is it possible to create EPM report in excel addin and show values by property of dimension? Let say, report which summarize values into account types: AST, LEQ, EXP and INC, only 4 rows and sums?

    Hi Michal,
    As suggested by Vadim use Hierarchy to aggregation data, by using property you can do subtotal in template but displays the grouped members.

  • Changing Workspace context URL

    I am on Oracle BPM 10g3 Standalone.
    I am wondering if there is a way to change the default workspace URL from http://server:8686/workspace to http//:server:8686/NewWorkspace.
    thanks

    For Standalone server, here is what needs to be done:
    In TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost,
    1. rename the workspace.xml to newWorkspace.xml
    2. edit newWorkspace.xml and change the path in the Context to "/newWorkspace"
    old workspace.xml
    <Context path="/workspace" docBase="../../webapps/workspace" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
    </Context>
    new newWorkspace.xml
    <Context path="/newWorkspace" docBase="../../webapps/workspace" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
    </Context>
    Now the URL http://server:port/newWorkspace will take you to the Workspace

  • Font override in Report Header

    I have a quirky issue. I am trying to add a set of headers on top of the typical report column headers in a report. I inherited this from another long gone developer..
    What they did was build a div wrapped around a table to get the formatting they wanted, but the table cells have a span trying to override the body's css tags..
    I have looked at it for a few hours today and spent enough time trying...
    Hopefully there is a css guru who can offer some input!
