Cannot clear contents of an accounts dimension member

Hello.I am trying to clear some data that was calculated - because our calculation script currently isn't correct, and the result is misleading.I need to clear the data associated with an accounts dimension member.I tried "CLEARDATA mymbr;", "CLEARDATA Actual->mymbr;", "FIX(@IDESCENDANTS(Units)) CLEARDATA mymbr; ENDFIX", ""FIX(mymbr) CLEARDATA Actual; ENDFIX", but none works.The outline is as follows :Acc - Accounts, denseMonths - Time, dense, Dynamic calc, #MissingCum - Dense, Dynamic calc, #MissingYear - Sparse, Dynamic calc, #MissingScenario - sparseUnits - sparseA - sparseB - Sparse, dynamic calcAnd some more, which are sparse (and some dynamic calc).The member I'm trying to clear has a dynamic calc parent and is a two pass calc member, with an associated calculation formula.Any idea why I can't clear the data ?Thanks.

Thank you for your suggestion. But I doubt it would have solved my problem.The CLEARDATA did remove the values, but I had to switch the dynamic sparse dimensions to "store" to achieve my result.Thanks for your help :-)

Essbase API - Account Dimension - Account Type

Hello all,
I'm connecting to a cube that has an account dimension and I need to extract the account hierarchy for a given member name. What I did to get the member information is:
mbrSel = cube.openMemberSelection(null);
mbrSe.executeQuety("<OutputType Binary <SelectMbrInfo(MemberName, MemberAlias, ParentMemberName )"
, "@IDESCENDENTS (\"" + s_member + "\", 0)");
Now what I'm trying to get from this query is the account type(or the account aggregator). Is this information queryable?
Many thanks!
Rafael

In BPC, "Account" can be interpretted fairly generic. Yes each application requires an account dimension and each account dimension member must be assigned a valid account type (Asset, Liab, Equity, Rev, Cost) property. But that is the extent of the restrictions. So in is not uncommon to see the account dimension be used to represent the vendor, the customer, the material, or a key figure. That last option may be necessary if you want to track "statistical key figures" or various types of quantities in your application. Just be sure to utilize the right account type attribute assignment to result in the correct sign handling and accumulation logic for your data.

How to hide member Account dimension from BPC Administrator for Reporting

Hi experts, i need to hide some members of the Account dimension for reporting, because those members dont use it anymore, but i dont want delete them.
The question is: Does it exist any propierties for this dimension type that allows hiding members in reporting without set members in the BPC for Excel?
I can create a report which contain the members i want to show, but if any change occurs (client desire) the report is outdated.
Thank you in advance
Ignacio Vazquez

Ignacio,
There is no function like that.
You can choose below two options.
1. Create a property like 'NOUSE' and set a value 'Y' for unused member
When you create EVDRE report, set a filter against that property that has value 'N'
then those members will not be shown at the report.
2. Create 'NOUSE' parent member and put members under this parent member.
Maybe option 1 is more easier to do that.
I hope it will help you

Problem with add new Member in Account Dimension

Hi Expert
I want to add new member in account dimension but occured some Error about a member count of a circular reference. Please help me for solve this error. Thank you so much
Best regards,
Bank

Hi,
This kind of error indicates faulty dimension formulas. There must be at least 2 formulas referencing each other. For example:
1. A=B+C
2. C=A*D
The above 2 formulas are dependent on each other. On one hand, you need C to calculate A. On the other hand, you need A to calculate C. So, causing a cross reference. Try to remove all the dimension formulas in your account dimension and process it. See, if its successful or not. If yes, then the formula was the definite reason. Now, try to add the formula one by one, till you get the error.
Hope this helps.

BPC Error: Cannot fine dimension member sheet file

Hi experts,
I'm getting below error when I try to process the dimension.
"Cannot fine dimension member sheet file; use the export dimension feature to restore it from the member file".
Can anybody help me to resolve the error.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Hari,
When you select your dimension, there will be an option "export dimension". Click on that.
Hope this helps.

Not sure where it is documented, but you can not calculate what you are fixing on. To me it seems a bit odd, but I believe the logic is, if it is sparese and you are fixing on it, how can you fix on what might not be there? If it is sparse, fix on all the other sparse dimensions thenFix (....) CYG_BILAN ( CYG_BILAN = ....; )EndFiX;Also, if it sparse, make sure the block exists (either datacopy data into it or set 'CREATE BLOCK ON EQUATION' on - I tend to copy data into it).If it is dense, you wouldn't want to fix on it anyway.Rich SullivanBeacon Analytics

Account Dimension not showing all members in the cube in Analysis Services

Hi,
         In SAP - BPC 5.1 after processing account dimension all the members are created under account dimension in analysis services but the same cannot be found in the data cube. Hence the reports generated through SAP - BPC is not showing all the members.
         The issue looks very strange as we can see the members getting created but the same is not getting populated in the cubes. I am not able to visualize what exacly the issue is? Is it with the application or with the analysis services?
Thanks
Sharath

Your sixth sense is correct, there is definitely support in MSAS and BPC 5.1 for multiple hierarchies in the account dimension.
I'm also referring to parentH1 and parentH2, but perhaps we're still speaking of different things.
In the past, I faced a very similar problem as you, and the root cause was because I had one member, let's call it FancyParent, which, in H1, had children Child1 and Child2.
But in H2 it had children Child1, Child2 and Child3. I forget now if that was how I wanted the setup to be, or if it was a mistake on my part, but either way, MSAS doesn't allow this. The admin consol didn't complain when processing the dimension -- this was in Outlooksoft 5.0; perhaps validation has improved now.
But the cube was completely unworkable. Certain things were calculating correctly, but everything in the account dimension in the area around FancyParent (above and below it, in both hierarchies) was quite unpredictable.
By disabling first one, and then the other, of the two hierarchies, and disabling blocks of accounts, I was eventually able to pinpoint the problem. But it took days to figure out what was the problem. (The account dimension had 2500 members and 4 hierarchies, and it was not a pretty sight.)
A parent must have the same definition of children in all hierarchies. It can't, as another example, have children in H1, and be a base member in H2. Each member can have different parents in the two hierarchies, but must always have the same children in both.
To work around this problem, I had to create two separate accounts NetIncomeH1 and NetIncomeH2 (and PretaxIncomeH1, PretaxIncomH2, etc. all the way down to the point where they branched off), to get the two separate aggregations of the P&L in the two hierarchies. Once I did that, it made sense to me why, but I also swore off on frivolous extra hierarchies ever again.

Account Dimension Properties

Hi,
I have some questions concerning Account dimension properties:
1. "EnableCustom1Aggr"--->Whether aggregation is enabled for intersections of the Account and Custom dimensions This attribute is used for special totals, not summing. Specify Y if the account can aggregate with Custom dimensions or N if it cannot. does this mean that by default summing is working?
2."EnableDataAudit"---> what does it mean to have an audited account or scenario?
3. did anyone try member name that have space character on oracle database.
4.what is the use of plug accounts.
Thanks,
foksh

does this mean that by default summing is working?
The account rollup is summing by default, but if you do not have the EnableCustomAggr checked, the Custom dimension members will show nothing.
"EnableDataAudit"---> what does it mean to have an audited account or scenario? will allow you to see changes made to that account from the Tasks Folder -> Data Audit option.
what is the use of plug accounts. R/= This are were you usually store the difference between your Intercompanies.
Using spaces in member names is not recommended, try undercores _

What's 'Process dimension member' and 'Refresh dimension member'

We're using BPC 7.5 NW SP8 patch 001.
I often have confusion about these two buttions of dimension library on BPC admin console.
When clicking 'Process dimension member' and 'Refresh demension member', clearly we see BPC is performing some activities.
If I switch tracing in ST05, some tables, such as UJD_DIMENSION, UJD_DOC and temperory tables. were accessed and updated.
For my understanding, table UJD_DOC is using to find sheet template in UJFS and table UJD_DIMENSION is using to control versions between file service and BW infoobject tables.
But I cannot understand what's necessarity for 'Refresh dimension member'.
Does this activity will fetch data from BW infoobject tables and refresh files in UJFS ? But I cannot see 'Update' action in ST05 tracing file.
The other one - 'Process dimension member': does that mean syncroniization between files in UJFS and BW infoobject tables ?
If so, why temperory table /1CPMB/B_* is storing some records?
Could BPC expert guide me the way to understand? Appreciated.

Hi Brad,
Refresh Dimension members is to update client infomration.
When you log on to an application set whose structure has changed (there are changes to dimensions and templates stored on the server), the system automatically updates your client information. You can also initiate this procedure manually, which you should do only when instructed by your administrator. Hope this helps.

Mail cannot clear Drafts in .OfflineCache but can save to Drafts on server

OK, I've been chasing this problem (and other related issues) for three days now and I'm at wits end.
I see that I am not alone with the the Mac Mail app getting stuck with messages in its .OfflineCache folder for an email account that it can not process. The common response is to quite Mail, and delete the contents of .OfflineCache, if not the whole directory.
In the case in front of me now, I have 7 versions of a draft message (destined for "Drafts"), a delete of that draft message and a copy of that message destined for "Sent Messages". Obviously, for a while Mail could not execute these commands to the IMAP server at SpamArrest.
What I don't understand is why can I continue to save new files to Drafts and Sent Messages but the .OfflineCache cannot clear itself?
I don't want to just delete the files in .OfflineCache (partly because I need the one in Sent Messages) but I because that is just treating the symptom and not fixing the recurring problem of messages ending up .OfflineCache on a fairly regular basis.
Why can't Mail clear the .OfflineCache?

I keep looking at the IMAP protocol output from the Connection Doctor and I'm stymied at why I'm getting a time out. In tracing the log, I see us connect on port 993 with thread 0x187564f0:
CONNECTED May 24 23:00:28.046 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL] -- host:mail.spamarrest.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x1917bbc0 -- thread:0x187564f0
We then start a new thread 0x191581a0 which performs all the subsequent actions including the APPEND:
WROTE May 24 23:00:29.286 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL] -- host:mail.spamarrest.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x1917bbc0 -- thread:0x191581a0

+ OK

X-Uniform-Type-Identifier: com.apple.mail-draft
From: Chip Roberson <[email protected]>
The next thing I see is a timeout on thread, 0x191581a0:

* BYE Disconnected for inactivity
It would seem that my client is in a wait state, waiting for a response from the WRITE which it does not get a response. Given that I have written to this Drafts folder before, I know it can be done but right now I can't.
SpamArrest swears they don't see anything on their side and that the problem must be on my Mac but what could it be?
The only other clue is that immediately after the Disconnect message, I get the hashtable error:
READ May 24 23:01:29.437 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL] -- host:mail.spamarrest.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x1917bbc0 -- thread:0x187564f0
BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: INTERNAL ERROR: Keyword hashtable memory corruption: Input/Output error
That seems to be a direct result of the timeout but it's hard to know for sure. I wish I knew what "keyword hashtable".
I've done all the standard stuff (e.g. rebuilding, reindexing, permissions, etc.) so I'm struggling to find something else to do. I just wish I could get some more visibility into the problem. Given the symptoms I'm seeing in other threads in this forum, I don't think I'm on the only one with this problem. Am I?

Drop down across account dimension

By any way is it possible to have a drop down infront of the account items. Our requirement is that we have an account member for which i have to put data through a drop down.

Our requirement is that we have an account member for which i have to put data through a drop down.The requirement is to allow user to select the value for that account item from a smart list. So, say I have an account member expense, i can associate it with a smart list which has newspaper, telephone etc. so it becomes that kind of expense and also i can put currency data across it.
Drop down is newspaper/telephone/x/y/z
account is expense
Also add data at year level
so in such a case it is either newspaper expense or telephone expense and amount is some number.
The problem is the smart list can be only in account dimension and expense is also account member.
I hope its quite clear now

Account dimension logic

Hi,
I've hit an issue with the length of my calculation exceeding 255. I'd like to add functions to the mdx logic library, but can't seem to figure out the best way to edit the file. I can see that there are logic files in the adminapp folder for each application, however I'm not sure how to edit and validate it. Is there an easy way to edit the files in this folder through the BPC Administrator tool?
Kind Regards,

Great - thanks. I've actually created a copy in my LegalApp and edit it through the Script Logic section and after validating I copy back into the AdminApp Folder - possibly not the best method, but it works at the moment.
Can anyone tell me how to include a calculation in the Account Dimension that is based on another calculation? As far as I am aware the solve_order is only for across dimensions. How do you manage solve order within a dimension? I have a Tuple that I want returned and I then use that account member in another account calculation. When reviewing the results the first calculation returns the value that I expect, but it seems that at execution time the first calculations result does not exist when calculating the second calculation so I get a zero result.
Any ideas? At the moment I am creating a fairly large calculation that recalculates the tuple in the second calculation, but I'd like to avoid this.
Kind Regards,
Fiona

How to use the FORMAT property of an account dimension

Hi Experts,
I tried my best but I just can't find any information about the format property of an account dimension. I know that it is a reserved one and I have seen something such as #,##0. In detail I want inc member to look like 1.000.000 and exp member like -4.000.0000.
This is probably a stupid question.
Thanx in advance,
Cora

Hi Cora-
These are Excel custom formats..please review the following link for detailed information:
[Custom Number Formats in Excel|http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/CustomFormats.htm]
For your specific example: ###,###,### for INC and -###,###,### EXP should be sufficient.
