Cannot change category dimension members
Hi,
I am trying to change the year property value for member budget in the category dimension but once i change the value and save and reload back, i cannot see the new value i entered. It still shows the old value.
I have read&write access for category dimension. What is the problem then?
Hi,
Did you process the Category dimension after saving it on the server?
If yes, I suggest that you reprocess your application (Modify application, and check both options there), and then on the Excel side, you should go under eTools and click Refresh dimension members.
Now, you should be able to see your new value for the YEAR property.
Hope it helps.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

BOFC : vailidating the category scenario after some changes of dimension
Hi all.
I cannot vailidate the category scenario right now. the problem probably happend after adding the characteristics of account and flow dimension on the definition mode of dimension builder.
Now, when I try to validate the category scenario, it's said "Failed to validate some items." and can't vailidate any of the Category scenario. However, on the validation report of category builder, there are no items displayed.
I would be appreciated if anyone could tell me the trigger of this problem and if there are any step I can take for the solution.
Thank you.
HitomiHello Vijay:
Take a back-up of your dimension member list and goto UJFS and delete XML of the dimension member.
Once deleted , go to Admin and click on the Dimension and execute "Refresh dimension member". Now , maintain new dimension members
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Changes in hierarchy dimension members causes EVDRE Errors retrieving data
Hi everybody,
I am facing the problem while retrieving the data in Evdre this is the following situacion:
1. BPC 7.5 NW SP 08 is used.
2. Suppose that you have a template where you defined SELF,DEP for an account dimension, you expand and refresh normally, and retrieved data OK.
3. Your business case makes that you have to move one of the dependant member of the hierarchy to another parent
then you go to mantain dimension member and change the parent of the member in question, finally you process dimension, and put available set status.
4. Yo re-open Template or refresh dimension members from the server in order to see update hierarchy in account dimension
5. After expanding and refreshing the evdre, shows and error "...while retrieving the data.. "
6. I suppose the way to fix it is to reverse the change in dimension member, so I change for initial parenth but error continue.
What do you recommend for fix it? is there any note which solve it?Hi Sabine,
Hi Sabine,
Thanks for your answer, we followed all the steps you suggested, but the problem continue,
Could you confirm us what is the the path of that XML file of dimension thought BW - UJFS?
The only thing that correct problem is doing the following but not should be the best way:
1. Supress Account dimension in application
2. Delete dimension
3. Recreate Dimension and process it
4. insert dimension into application
5. Refresh Evdre and then works fine!
Is there any Sap note about it or something else to check?
Thanks For your help -
Cannot change dimension type in EAS - 11.1.2.1
Hello,
I was trying to change a dimension from sparse to dense in the outline properties' tab in EAS 11.1.2.1. But when I click in the drop-down and change it to Dense, all the buttons (Save, Verify, Help, Close) are grayed out and I cannot seem to make the change and have to close EAS altogether.
Has anyone encountered this before?It happens only when you select sparse or dense and leave option selected.
try to select something else or you can use file->save

Year property for category dimension
Since year property is the Required Properties for Category Dimensions, if I need to have actual and budget for multiple year, is this mean that I need to create id for every year?
Like following:
ID year
actual_2010 2010
actual 2011 2011
budget_2010 2010
budget_2011 2011Hi,
Actually, maintenance of the category dimension is an admin activity. The admin has to change the year value every year. This is similar to the Time dimension. Every year, the admin has to add members for that particular year. Its just once in a year.
Hope this helps. -
Deploying app.view in BPMA does not add dimensions/members to application
Hello,
I've searched the forum for a solution to this problem, but I couldn't find any.
Problem:
I'm working on Hyperion Planning 9.3.1.0.66, EPMA version is 9.3.1.0.0.73, Workspace version is 9.3.1.0.0.248. I've created a classic application that was later upgraded. Now, I need to make some changes to dimensions (add some generic dimensions) and add some members to an existing dimension. Everthing is set in workspace and added to the application view. Validation of the application view is successful, so is the deployment (both create outline and refresh outline were tested, in all combinations), however when I open the application, or verify the outline in Essbase, there is no changes in the outline (no new dimensions/dimension members added, etc.)
Does anyone know the reason for such application behaviour?
Is there any solution/fix to solve the problem?
Best regards
Marcin StawnyHi,
I would definitely recommend patching EPMA and Planning to the latest patches, many issues have been addressed with EPMA and it is should always be the first steps if you have issues.
You can download the following patches from Metalink3
8211868 - System 9 Release 9.3.1.1.10 Service Fix
7305465 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.5 Service Fix
7272558 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.4 Service Fix
7209507 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.3 Service Fix
7161248 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.2 Service Fix
7227802 - EPMA 9.3.1.1 Service Pack
7110941 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.1 Service Fix
They include readmes instructing on how to patch.
This maybe related to your issue which was fixed in patch 9.3.1.1.6
7117173 - You cannot incrementally deploy Oracle’s Enterprise Performance Management Architect (EPMA) applications to Planning.

How can I manage access to dimension members in a layout?
Hello,
I have a dimension member list of materials (400) on a "material" dimension. But some people have access to one portion of the whole group and others may have access to other groups. But the materials can be shared between groups so I cannot group them in differents hierarchies.
The problem is in the layout you need to select a hierachy to show various rows (the whole group of materiales). The layout shows all the list of materials. Even if the user only have access to 10 of them. I don't know how is the best way for presenting this to the user? It should presents only the 10 rows corresponding to his materials.
One way that I found (but I don't find it acceptable because of the hard effort that represents the maintenance) is to create differents member access profiles and denied the access to each material (dimension member - 390) that the user cannot modified. Then in excel I have to run a macro that hides all the rows that have an empty description in the cell of the material name.
How can I achive this?
Is there a function in BPC to see if a user have access or not to a dimension member?
The only way to show in a layout various rows is to set in the view a hierarchy?
Thanks & Regards
SUhi
pl. verify whether this will suit your requirements:
Material UG1 UG2
MAT1 Y
MAT2 Y
MAT3 Y
MAT4 Y
MAT5 Y Y
Now UG1,UG2 diff user groups and property in Material. Assignment of Y is one time job.
At the time of accessing the dimension members can restrict on the basis of UG1="Y" or UG2="Y" property
Here MAT5 is common in both UG1 and UG2
(Hardly may have 3-4 set of users: Accordingly can have UG1,UG2,UG3,UG4 etc.)

Automatic creation of new dimension members
Hello all,
Bit of a long post so please bear with me.
I am about to embark on only my third BPC project after having spent several years implementing solutions using BusinessObjects Planning (formerly SRC software), and am still struggling to come up with an elegant solution to the fact that I cannot save data to dimension elements unless they are already explicitly defined in the dimension member list (presumably due to cube architecture).
Those of you who have used BOP/SRC will remember this as unvalidated dimensions.
I find having to first go to admin and pre create members before being able to use an input schedule to save data against them is very restrictive.
I'm hoping one of you guys can help me improve on the workaround I currently use.
For example I have a 'bid submission' input schedule that is used by the user to submit bids for increased budget, capital or revenue, capturing basic costs and commentary. The user selects a bid number from a combo box which is populated by using an EVLST formula to read in pre created dimension members. I have to save a flag to the db which I then use to exclude already used numbers when feeding the combo box on future submissions.
Which works ok but if I have a hierarchy on bid number based on say, cost centre, how do I get around the fact that number ranges have to be pre-assigned to cost centre, Cost Centre A = 1 to 1000, Cost Centre B = 1001 to 2000 etc. What happens if I go over the 1000 on Cost centre A? I then get non contiguous ranges per cost centre.
Is it possible for the bid number to be dictated by the user when they start to fill in the bid submission? Or give the impression that they are?
Or if the client has a bid number format that cannot be pre created? Eg incorporating things like year or person etc. This information could be save separately but not within the bid number. Is it possible to save data to dimension property columns from an input schedule?
Hope you guys can help
Many thanks

How to auto-update of script logics after adding new dimension members?
Hi Experts,
Just wanna ask if BPC has a functionality that would automatically update/validate and save my script logic whenever I add new dimension members. I've added new PL accounts but they are not automatically added to my calculated BS Net Income. I had to re-validate and save my logic for it to be included in my logic and for the amounts to be computed correctly.
Thanks,
MarvinHi Marvin,
There is no functionality as such. we need to configure the script as and when we make any changes in the dimension members.

Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager
Dear Experts,
I have two questions regarding the data manager.
Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
My image of csv file is like below;
ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
(I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
Thanks in advance for your help.
FumiHi Fumi,
In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...

Cannot change Valuation Class although no Open-PO
Dear Gurus,
I try to change Valuation Class in Material Master but I cannot after I created PO and still after MIGO and MIRO.
We are using PS and Material Master is set as below;
Ind./Coll in MPR4 = 1
Since requirement comes from PS, PO is created with account assignment category Q.
Once we execute MIGO and MIRO for the PO, still we cannot change Valuation Class.
If you know the way to change Valuation Class, would you tell me how?
Best Regards,
AKHi,
The change of the valuation class will impact on ML (material ledger), if the ML
is active. Is ML active on your system?
The note 575632 explains partly the effects on CCS. The
valuation class is used to allocate the plan costs to the related cost
element. Therefore, it is advisable to create new materials instead of
changing the valuation class. This would be straight forward and easy to
follow-up. The CCS does not a change history. Consequently, the previous
periods can not be explained with current CCS. That may lead
inconsistencies under circumtances. It is up to your decision. You can
change, test the impact and decide on. The proposed solution of SAP
would be avoiding that change and creating new materials.
When you try to change the valuation class, what is the details of the
error?
In order to change valuation class in the material master, you have to
make sure that none of the following exist in you system:
1 Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period
2 Open purchase orders or delivery schedule lines
3 Production orders for which a goods movement has already taken place
The system checks the stocks (storage loc. stocks and special
stocks) of the same period in which the valuation class will be changed.
If the valuation class of current period will changed, check in
transaction code MMBE for zero stocks, or in SE16: MARD/MBEW;
MCHB/MKOL/MSKA/MSKU/MSLB/MSPR.
The system checks all dependant purchase documents without delete flag
and error M3368 occurs when it finds at least one non deleted po item
(not only when stocks exist).
1. First be sure that no stocks exist in current AND previous period!
see note 30656, with an example how to get zero stocks.
2. SE16 ->table EKPO. Select all po items of the related material.
If you found items with LOEKZ <> 'L', you have to delete them in ME22
3. SE16 ->table AFPO. Select all items of the related material/plant.
If you find at least one item, change of val.clss. is not possible.
You have to these production order(s) !
These hard restrictions are necessary as inconsistencies in account
assignment will follow after change of val.class, when proceeding
follow up functions of a PO item before and after changing valuation
class. Also attached is 146241.
In customizing for the Material Master, you can switch the check for
open purchase orders and/or for production orders to a warning.
You do this in Define Attributes of System Messages by assigning
the message type Warning to message MM 326 and/or MM 327 respectively.
Please refer to note 160970 for more information.
I hope this will help you in resolving the reported issue.

SSCHi,
The Activity Auditing tracks Administrative and User tasks at the Appset level.
This will be controlled by the Administrators to check whether activity auditing is enabled or not.
To enable this future go to -> Administration for the Web, choose Manage Activity Audit -> then choose one or both types of activities to audit.
