Can we run approval on custom dimension

Can we run approval on a dimension other than Entity, which is default dimension for it. But can we run it on any custom dimension?

Well,....
The Planning Unit still consists of Scenario, Version and Entity.
Yes, you can take a secondary dimension into the Planning Unit, but it is additional. It does not replace the Entity.
If you do not use the Entity information (Currency) in your model, then you could tag the other dimension as Entity. Planning is using the Tag, not a name.
You might also take the secondary dimension to the Entity, but this likely makes the process unnecessary complex.

Large Custom Dimension

We have a requirement to have an application with forecasts performed at supplier level (in conjunction with accounts). I know that the question of how big can a dimension be is not a straight forward one and depends on several factors. However, I am having to answer it for a client and would like to ensure that I have the right starting point.
My initial view was that a custom dimension of 18,000 (eventual) members is, in itself, not a great design approach. But, budgets and forecasts will be managed at this level of detail (by supplier), so I need to find a way to do it without ending up with a badly performing beast. WFP apps often have large employee dimensions, so I am thinking that (with everything else designed simply and optimally and adequate hardware being in place), maybe we can have a very large custom dimension and not have to endure massive performance issues?
My first question then is, is it achieveable to have such a big, custom, sparse dimension? Has anyone else done this (maybe with a large employee dimension in an WFP app)?
What major issues should I be concerned about? To some extent, I feel that I need to design and build the app to fully know what the issues and performance will be. But, before launching into that and failing due to size, I am hoping that someone here can give me some words of encouragement that it isn't outside of the realms of possibility to manage a very large dim.

Thanks Alp.
I have quite a few Planning implementations behind me, but this is the first time I have needed to go down the route of creating such a large sparse dimension, so your advice is very helpful and comforting!
The "how big" can x be with Hyperion is often an essential and flaky question generally with an even flakier answer. There are obviously many factors involved, but all the same is something that crops up from time to time, so I appreciate your response. Many thanks!
Absolutely, we will be managing this meta-data within it's own database and summarising to the main app. I will also have a think about th move to a single dense dimension and will do some calcs for block size. I assume that you mean to possibly change account and period from dense to sparse and make the custom dimension dense?

Calculating Average across 3 custom dimensions

Hi,
How can we calculate across 3 custom dimensions Entity , Product and Customer ?
I have set the account to TBAvg so that it gives me an average against time dimension.
The below formula works fine to calculate average across Customer dimension but how should I change it to incorporate Entity and Product dimension.
@AVGRANGE(SKIPMISSING,"Margin Percent",@CHILDREN(@CURRMBR("Customer")));
Thanks,
SK

Hello,
what about @MINSRANGE ?
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/minsrange.html
Inventory_MIN = @MINSRANGE(SKIPBOTH, "Inventory" , @LIST("config1","config2","config3"))
should give the result,
if you FIX @RELATIVE("Part",-1) to grab level 1 members.
and you can extend expression something like
Inventory_MIN = @MINSRANGE(SKIPBOTH, Inventory , @CHILDREN(@CURRMBR("Part")))
Hope it helps,
Ahmet

Error while running Webi report that uses Custom Dimension object(SAP BW)

Hi,
I have a universe that is based on SAP BW.I have created a custom dimension object that displays the maximum date.
The object syntax is
<expression>Max(@Select(CPS Online\Calendar day))</expression>
The object parses successfully.
The object 'Calendar Day ' is a defaultobject created during universe creation from the BW query.It is defined as [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]
I tried to create a Webi report using this object and a measure .On running the query it throws the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22] AS ' Max{[0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]} ' SELECT { [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22], [Measures].[4JCOSFOKKCUR3RMBPNROFKQQD] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS DIMENSION PROPERTIES [0CALDAY].[20CALDAY] ON ROWS FROM [ZCCPSONL/ZCPSONLINE] failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with (. (WIS 10901)
I have tried every possible syntax I could think of but I keep getting this error each time.I have set the object type to Number (even though it is actually a Date), I have tried writing the MDX inside the Max instead of the @select , but nothing seems to work.Could anyone please let me know why this error is occuring?Is there anything wrong with the syntax or is there any setting in Webi needed before a custom dimension object can be used on it.

Can you see data for Custom object @ BEx level??
YES, then just try to re-create the same variable and Save the BW query.
Now do View - refresh Strusture @ Universe. And you can see Filter for the same, just Parse it, just whether it is OK or not.
OK -- then Export the Universe and create WebI reports, this will come as Prompt.
Hope it will helps you.
Thank You!!

Can We generate Check report based on Custom Dimension in FDM

Hi All,
We got a requirement in our project to generate the check report based on custom dimension. As far as i know the check reports that got generated in FDM are based on Entity Dimension.
So, will you please let me know whether it is possible to generate report based on any one of the custom dimension.
Thanks.

I guess I am not understanding the question here?
The check report is based on the location/entity that you are running the report for. You can pull values for a specific intersection in the target application with the check report, so you could specify the custom dim in the intersection.

How can I run a custom program ASYNCHRONOUSLY when booting WinPE?

I have a custom application that I want to have running during WinPE for my Litetouch deployments. I had this working in SCCM and now I want to get it working in MDT.
I have the Netcheck.exe application in my Extras folder, it ends up on the root of my X: drive.
Here is my unattend.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

By default, the Litetouch.wsf file is launched synchronously, and so my Netcheck app won't run until the Litetouch wizard closes (this won't work for my needs). Also, synchronous commands are run before Asynchronous commands. Therefore, I need to run
both my custom Netcheck app and the Litetouch wizard Asynchronously.
However, every time I use the unattend file that I pasted above, WinPE boots and then immediately reboots. If I am quick and hit F8 I get a command prompt, and then my Netcheck app and the Litetouch wizard both run (sweet!), but then when I close that cmd
prompt, WinPE shuts down (lame).
The wpeinit.log is shown below. Everything seems to look good, so what is wrong? How can I accomplish this?

Can We Create Custom Dimension ontop of BI Infocube

Hello Guys,
I need help on below questions. i appreciate all your help in advance.
Can we create Custom Dimension ontop of SAP BI Infocube ? Does it support all functions like SQL and ORACLE database supports ? Can any body have list what kind of function it supports ? Does it support If..else ..if condition ??
Ex. If Account = 410000 and Profit center inlist 100,200,500,999 Then u201CSales Revenueu201D else ifu2026.etc., Can we write this kind of condition in Universe on top of SAP BI Infocube ?

Can I run a Unique Clients and Users Summary report customized by both floor area and SSID?

In Cisco Prime, can I run a Unique Clients and Users Summary report customized by both floor area and SSID?

Allright guys. I appreciate the quick responses. I've worked a lot in CR however i am not understanding the solution so I'd appreciate if you can dumb it down for me. If i understand it correctly you guys are suggesting to make a formula, that either return my group by string (which is a formula in my report) or the Quantity. I tried writing a formula like this
if ({@param} = 1 then
GroupName ({@GroupBy})
else
{NetPNL.GrossAfterAdj}
but it seems like CR does not allow you to return 2 different data types. Even if it had worked i would not know what to do from there. Can anyone please dumb it down for me. To make my situation more clear below is an example of how my data is..
MN 100
MN 200
MN 50
CA 300
CA 500
when the data shows in the report, its grouped by state, so it comes out like
MN 350
CA 800
I want the users to decide whether they want it sorted by state (ascending)
CA 800
MN 350
or Total quantity (asc)
MN 350
CA 800

Parent child hierhecy in customer dimension how can select parent gogrphey when we select parent id in MDX

i have customer dimension
CustomerId
CustomerName
CustomerParentID
State
Region
my requiremnt is when i select parent id automatically my parent state select using MDX query.

Hi Manishcal,
According to your description, you want to get parent state based on the parent id, right?
We can use the parent function and member properties function to retrival the dimension attribute. I have tested it on my local environment, the sample query below is for you reference.
with member [measures].[Parent]
as
[Employee].[Employees].currentmember.parent.name
member [measures].[ParentHireDate]
as
[Employee].[Employees].currentmember.parent.properties("Hire Date")
select {[measures].[Parent],[measures].[ParentHireDate]} on 0,
[Employee].[Employees].[Employee Level 06].members on 1

How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX

How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX.

Tom is right, BUT! ...the newest version of Compressor (41.) allows you to do just THAT! ...to export custom sizes.
It's easy. And... once you set it up, you can export DIRECTLY from FCPX, provided you've saved / added this scheme as a "destination" in the FCPX app.

Loading Parent Keys in Customer Dimension

I have a question about how to setup my mapping for my Customer Dimension. A subset of the dimension attributes is below:
Customer_Key (Surrogate Key)
Customer_Number
Parent_Key
Bill_To_Key
My source table has the following fields:
Customer_Number
Bill_to_Customer_number
Parent_Customer_number
I am having difficulty in visualizing this because I can see where the current record may be for customer 10 and its parent is customer 20. Since I have not loaded the record for customer 20, I cannot use a lookup to get the surrogate key for customer 20 as it does not exist. So, my only thought was to load the dimension without the parent and bill_to keys and then run a post-mapping process to update the missing fields. This works, but takes an extremely long time (4 hours) as there are over 300,000 records that it has to update. Maybe my post-mapping process was just inefficient, I am not sure. What I am doing is running an update command on my dimension and looking up the customer-numbers from my staging table, then looking up the surrogate key in my dimension.
Is there a better, more efficient, way to do this?
Thanks,
Jason

I did a little more work with this and have developed at procedure in the post-mapping process that updates the necessary fields in about 3-4 seconds.
Sorry for taking up extra room in the OWB forum with a sql efficiency issue.
Thanks,
Jason

Custom Dimension with multiple children defined as "Never Share"

Hyperion Planning - 11.1.1.3
There is Custom dimension "Appliance" with root defined as a "Never Share". It has multiple level 0 (SubAppl1, SubAppl2, SubAppl3 etc) members with "Store". Data is some times loaded at root level and some times at the lower levels and at times both. What is the expected result?
When POV is Appliance and when it is drilled down?
For Ex:
For Jan -
Appliance is 100, No other members loaded with data.
For Feb -
Appliance is 30
SubAppl1 is 10
SubAppl2 is 10
SubAppl3 is 5
POV
Appliance Jan - 100
Appliance Feb - 30 or 25? and why?
Trying to understand the behavior or "Never share" in this scenario.
Appreciate your feedback.
Edited by: 847514 on Mar 28, 2011 11:17 AM

Never Share has no bearing on your sample. The Never Share flag is to prevent a implicit sharing which will happen when you have one parent with a single child under it. Your structure is not setup such that an implicit share would occur based on your example.
I really do not recommend loading data at upper level members as this means you can never run a normal aggregation on your data. If you were to aggregate your data and you happened to have the AGGMISSG set to true you would see the data in your january example of 100 was removed due to the level 0 members not having any values.
So the question of your February being 30 or 25 is did you load 30 to February Appliance or did you load to the level 0 and then aggregate?

Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files. Says "the Following disk images couldn't be opened". and then say's there "isn't enough disk space" I'm pretty sure it has something to do with apps that are not approved by the app store. How can I turn it off?

Select your hard drive in the Finder and choose File -> Get Info. What is the available space?

Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time?

Dear Friends,
I set up currency translation on our BPC NW 7.0 system and it is working fine ONLY if I run it for any one year at a time. But if I select multiple years in the data package (FX Restatment) selection it only calculates for the first year in that selection.
say if I run the data package for years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, it only performs currency translation for the year 2009.
Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time ?
Note: The year is determined from the YEAR property of the "Time" dimension
appreciate any inputs,
thanks

You can run currency translation for multiple years.
I think the problem it is actually related to how you are sending the parameter to currency translation script.
Just review the script logic log and you will see with what parameters was called currency translation FXTrans.
My expectation is that actually the script is called just with first year and that's the problem.
Log of script logic you can find it into:

Can I run Tiger and Leopard on the same computer

Hi folks.
I've been meaning to install Leopard for ages but have never got round to it (I bought the retail box when it first came out). I have upgraded my RAM to 2GB and my hard drive to 320GB with no problems.
My upgraded hard drive has been partitioned into 2 equal parts of 160GB. These appear on desktop as Mackintosh HD1 and HD2. HD1 is the disk with all my files, music, OS etc and HD2 is empty
I have 2 bootable clones of my present system - one is on a 160GB external and the other is the original 80GB HD that I replaced.
My question is this - can I install Leopard on to my 160GB external HD, then clone it on to the empty HD2. If I do this would I be able to run both Tiger and Leopard on the same Macbook?
Is there any problems with this plan? Would I be able to transfer between the 2 OS and how do I install Leopard on the external drive. Is it just a case of inserting the Leopard DVD and choose the external drive as the target?
As usual thanks in advance
Del

# Original Tiger in the internal HD, New Leopard in the external HD.
# New Leopard in the internal, Legacy cloned Tiger in the external.
# Split internal, one partition with Tiger, another with Leopard.
Leopard is backwardly compatible with older Macs, just make sure yours fulfills the minimum system requirements, both use the same filesystem format, so each can see the other. You can't run both at the same time, unless you purchase the server version of Leopard and run it virtualized. 99.9% of Firewire external HD's are bootable, some USB's are bootable but have to test first. You can choose which system to boot from by pressing the Option key at boot time, before the chime. Just make sure the external HDD is plugged in and turned on if that's where you want to boot from.
When I migrated my PBG4 from Panther to Tiger, got an external FW HDD, cloned Panther onto it, upgraded using Archive and Install, cleaned up, customized and tested it. When I was satisfied all was ok, cloned the original Panther onto another partition of the external HDD, wiped and tested for failure the internal HDD, then cloned the known good and tested Tiger into it. Only thing that died along the way was my old and ancient Photoshop v2.x, that refused to run on Tiger.
