Cannot delete members in a planning application with version 9.3.0.1

Hi Gurus, this is a planning 9.3.0.1 version.
One of our dimension completely changed (Entity Dimension). We are planning to completely delete Entity in the Planning web and re-create with the new entity members.
I have developed the HAL integration and its working. However, When I try to delete the members from the entity Dimension, it takes a long time and comes with a error page. Sometimes it deletes... sometimes it just doesnt get deleted. We will be doing this in Production this Friday and I want to be absolutely sure that I can delete the dimension and also to find out why is this causing the issue.
please help asap...
regrds,...

Hi,
You will need to provide more information on the errors you are getting, HAL will be producing an error log.
Cheers
John

  • Cannot delete or reassign tasks or assignments with protected actuals

    I am working on Project server 2013 and trying to update one of the projects which gives an error: "cannot delete or reassign tasks or assignments with protected actuals".
    I need to change the entire plan (please note that this project is published to EPM and already has actuals in it), NOw I have checked out the project in MPP and trying to remove some tasks and I get this error"cannot delete or reassign tasks or assignments
    with protected actuals".
    Please suggest how these tasks can be deleted and how I can update the project plan back to EPM.
    Is there anything that we need to turn off in the server settings to allow changes to the project plan. and Also unprotect the actuals in the project plan.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It might be that you have the option "Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets" enabled in the "task settings and display" under the "protect user updates" section. This prevents the project owner (project manager) from
    updating (adding, deleting) any actuals directly in the project plan. It enforces actuals to come from the timesheet/task updates once approved. 
    Thus it is normal that you cannot modify an entire task with some actuals. The best practice would be not to modify any actuals, just updating the remaining work, eventually reassigning it to another resource. But in case you do need to make changes to some
    past activities, then you have to disable the option I mentionned above.
    See reference
    here (for 2010 version bu still applicable).
    For reassigning a task with actuals, you can for example open the project build team dialog box, select the new and the old resources from left and right side and click on "replace". Here is another
    method from the task tab.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to remove duplicate members in Hyperion planning Application.

    Hi,
    I have the 11.1.2.1 Planning Application installed on Windows OS and I have the employee dimension in it with many duplicate Employee members.Now this time I just wanted to remove those duplicte members to make sure that there is no redundency/any duplicate employee exist in Employee Dimension and moreover it is help us to increasing the performence of the application.
    So can you please advise how can I achieve this.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Do you mean you have shared members in the hierarchy and you want to remove them, anyway one way is to export the dimension, clean the export file, then import it back it in but drop all the members from the dim first.
    or maybe the delete shared members util - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40248_01/epm.1112/planning_admin/ch12s07s05.html

  • Planning application with partitions

    Can anyone give some outline about how the partitions work on planning. Usually I guess we dont have partitions in planning...Do we? correct me if I am wrong... if we do ..then how we will create parttions for planning applications...? the same way like essbase applications
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You create them the same way you would for essbase, but if you are using transparent partitions whenever you are refreshing the planning database you need to remove the partition and recreate it after the refresh.
    If you use replicated partitions, you can create the partition definition at replication time, run
    the partition, and drop the partition definition. You need not remove the partition definition
    during refresh because it is created when the partition is run.
    Cheers

  • Cannot Delete / Validate / Deploy Essbase (BSO) application [EPMA]

    Hi All,
    I deployed a Essbase BSO application from EPMA (11.1.2.1) and got a successful result. I have made a minor change and want to deploy the application again but all the options for Duplicate / Delete / Validate / Deploy / Compare are disabled.
    I have tried this on two separate instances with the same result.
    - I have restarted the services already.I also ensured that no ESSSVR service was running when I had shutdown all the services.
    - I have also checked the timeout period to ensure that it is not a timeout issue.
    Does anyone have any clue as to why this might be happening. I was given a suggestion that the Relational Schema for EPMA might have certain flags that may be blocking this. Any ideas on which tables / columns I should look at?
    Shehzad

    First check the application diagnostics to see if anyting is amiss. Go to Application Library, right-click on the application and selecxt "Diagnostics".
    Run all the diagnostics. If a diagnostic test fails, Performance Management Architecxt provides an automated solution or manual steps to resolve the problem. Your security role must be EPMA Administrator to run them. Which also makes me think that it's possible that your security has been changed so you no longer have access to the app. Has someone changed your security? Did you create the app under a different ID?

  • I'm finding Ios7 exceeding frustrating having to spend hours reinstalling and looking for last data. For example I cannot delete photos I have synced, applications are missing. Where can I get clear instructions to fix the mess?

    Where can I get clear instructions to clean up a mess that Ios7 has made of my data and info on my iPad. I can't delete photos, apps are missing, it's crazy and so frustrating. I have spent hours on this.

    How did the photos get onto your iPad ? If they were synced from a computer then they can't be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - instead they are deleted by not including them in your next photo sync from your computer's iTunes.
    For your apps, as long as they are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad, and via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you had backed up to your computer's iTunes before starting the update then you could redownload them to your computer's iTunes and then retry restoring to your backup and see if that copies the apps and their content back (the actual apps aren't included in a backup, just their content/settings, so for a restore to work fully you need to have the relevant apps in the Apps part of your library).

  • Im using iphone 4, it was locked in japan, and i had it open line here in the philippines using gevey sim. the problem is there is no option to update the software and i cant download applications with version 4.2.1.

    I want to know if I can update my software connecting my phone to laptop, there was a message that ios 6.2.1 is available to download and update my software that there will be no problem with signals and connection. thank you.

    Well yes, of course your phone will have been locked in Japan because the Japanese phone companies do not offer unlocking to anyone, so you have effectively jailbroken your phone and can't get any help here.
    Use Google instead.

  • Deleting members from Planning application

    Hi everyone,
    I need to delete about 600 members from a planning application. I dont want to clean up the load file and do the reaload once again. Is there a way I can delete load a file with just 600 members and they get deleted from the outline?

    Thanks John for sharing your opinion. One of the senior consultants helped me out with this. The solution was fairly simple -
    All the 600 members were children of different parents. So it was difficult to cherry-pick all of them. What we did is, we created a load file with 600 members (to be deleted from outline). We put those 600 members under one parent; somewhat like this
    TempParent    member1*
    TempParent    member2*
    +.+
    +.+
    TempParent    member600*
    Once I loaded this file to through load utility, it grabbed all those 600 members from their previous positions and placed them under TempParent*. Then I deleted TempParent.
    Although I would like to know more about the solution you suggested. Is there an example on web that you can refer me to ??

  • How can we delete a dimension from the classic planning applications

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to delete a dimension from the planning classic application but i am unable to find out the delete option to delete a dimension. I created the dimension from the Administration -->dimensions --> Add dimension.
    If we want to delete a dimension how we can delete that dimension, I heard meta data is stored in the RDBMS so that why if we want delete dimension we need to delete in RDBMS so please tell me the location in RDBMS to delete dimension. i am using sql is RDBMS.
    Thanks in advance......

    As John mentioned, it is not supported and advisiable to delete a dimension from Planning application. but yes you can take a chance with some risk if you need to do so.. this opertaion is tested in 9.2 but i never tried in EPM V11.
    You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
    BE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR APPLICATION BEFOREATTEMPTING THIS PROCEDURE.
    You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
    If you have the dimension in forms, you may also need to (after step 5) go into the hsp_formobj_def_mbr table and delete all references of that object ID. Then delete the dim id in thehsp_form_layout table. Recycle services of Planning.
    Procedure: If you create a custom dimension in planning and wish to delete it, here is how you might remove it from SQL manually.
    it is recommended that only someone familiar with relational databases attempt this.The following assumptions are being made about the dimension: No forms have any references to thedimension. Any and all attribute dimensions have been removed from the dimension. Any and all members have been removed from the dimension. All security access has been removed from dimension. Any Alias associated with the dimension has been removed.
    1. Open the Enterprise Manager for SQL server
    2. Open the database that has your planning application
    3. Open the table HSP_OBJECT
    4. You need to find the row that has the dimension name you want to delete:
    5. Take note of the OBJECT_ID in my example it is50051, don't delete it yet.
    6. Open the table HSP_MEMBER
    7. Find and delete any rows that have a MEMBER_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    8. Close the Table HSP_MEMBER
    9. Open the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
    10. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    11. Close the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
    12. Open the table HSP_DIMENSION
    13. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    14. Close the table HSP_DIMENSION
    15. Also delete it's reference from the HSP_UNIQUE_NAMES table.
    16. Delete the row in the HSP_OBJECT table that you found in step 4.
    17. Close the HSP_OBJECT table.
    18. Open Essbase Application Manager for the application and remove the dimension from the necessary Essbase outlines
    19. Restart the application server.
    good luck!!!

    With your help, I can verify it easier rather than creating dataform to verify it.
    I have resolved the question now, the root cause is I had used the wrong parameter, shouldn't add '/N' in the command. for /N is a dry run to check whether there are error in CSV file, it won't perform metadata load.
    If no error occured, run the command without /N, then the metadata load will be performed.

  • EPMA Shared Members not reflecting in Planning application post deployment

    Hi,
    I have added a member in 'Entity' dimnesion. The same member is also added in an alternate hiererchy as shared member (Using Insert member option in dimension library). When I refresh the application view, I do see both the original member and shared member in application vieiw. But post deployment, only the base member is reflected in planning application and not the shared member.
    I have redeployed the application multiple times now, but i am still not able to see the shared members reflected in Planning application.
    Kindly let me know if you have any idea on the same or faced a similar issue?
    Regards
    Meenal

    Hi,
    Have you patched up EPMA with patches from Metalink3
    9.3.1.1 Patch includes -
    6897835 SHARED MEMBERS IN ENTITY DIMENSION CAN NOT BE DEPLOYED TO ASO/BSO APPS
    It is advisable to keep a look out for patch fixes with EPMA
    Hope this helps
