Changing dimension types in Hyperion Planning

I have a Planning 11.1.1.3 application and I would like to change the dimension type of a dimension. Dimension Customer is the one that has the country type now but it needs to be changed as dimension Product is the one that now need the country type, leaving Customer without a type. Is there a way of changing the type without having to delete all the data forms, deleting the members, changing the dimension names and the reloading the metadata to the correct dimension? I tried changing the type via Essbase but as soon as I refresh the application, the types change as they are in Planning (expected) and I can't seem to find a way of changing the type in Planning without having to rebuild part of the application! Thanks in advance for your replies.

  • Error regarding plan type in hyperion planning

    Hi,
    I have created a hyperion planning application with 2 plan types namely Plan1 and Plan2.
    Initially i designed my every dimension members in Plan1 alone. Product dimension (User defined dimension) is alone  in both the plan type.
    Now if i go to the edit properties of all other dimensions except my user defined dimension i could not enable the Plan2 in the plan type.
    Can anyone give me suggestions to enable the Plan2 for other dimensions.

    Hi ,
    You cannot modify in front end if you deployed your application already. You can enable if you have Workforce or Capex cube created in you application.
    you cant do it for for the normal cube (Plan1, Plan2, Plan3).

  • Load dimensions' elements in Hyperion Planning 3.5

    Hy all,
    i have a big problem: i have to load a lot (almost two hundred) of elements in account and entity dimension. Of sure you will understand that it is impossible to manually insert every single element. do you have any idea of as is possible to do it? Planning release is the 3.5.
    Tnx
    Antonio

    Antonio,
    You will probably need to install and configure HAL (Hyperion Application Link). This is the ETL tool used for bulk dimension imports.

  • 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

  • Hyperion Planning form change not flowing through to Smart View

    Hyperion Planning 11.1.2 and Smaer View 11.1.2.
    I have a user that installed SV yesterday but has been using planning for years. I made a change on his planning form (just added an account) and he does not see this change in smart view. However, he does see the change when logged into Hyperion Planning in his form.
    One strange thing about this is the change shows for all hierarchies except for ones that he has loaded data to. So, for a hierarchy that has no data, it shows the form in SV how it is in planning. If he loads data to the hier, the form automatically switches back to how it was before the change, even when the planning form itself hasn't been changed.
    Here is what we have tried:
    Rebooted machine
    removed user security completely from plannng and added back
    checked for ghost instance in task manager or excel
    Opened new Workbook and opened form fresh
    remvoed connection, closed excel and all instances, new connection and open form fro mblank slate
    Nothing seems to be working. And I see the form how it is in planning. HE does not, he sees it the "old way" and ony for hier points that have data submitted to them. So, literally switches the view based on the POV.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Sounds like in the smart list set up you set "#Missing Data Form Label:" to "Data Form Setting" change it to "Drop Down Setting" and it should be alright.

  • Loading Attribute Dimension - Hyperion Planning

    Hello Everyone,
    I appreciated a lot informations that I found here. I red the http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/11/odi-series-loading-essbase-metadata.html
    about loading attribute dimension on Essbase, but when I try to execute the same steps using Hyperion Planning Adapter in ODI, I cannot see the option inside the model to reverse also all dimension attribute, hence I cannot load members on my dimension attribute. Do you know how can I develop the attribute dimension load on Hyperion Planning?
    Regards,
    Wallace Galvão

    Hi,
    You first need to create the attribute dimension in planning, ODI does not create dimensions.
    Once you have created your attribute dimension you can reverse the planning application again and the attribute dimension should be created as a DataStore

  • How to Load Dates Data type from txtfile to Hyperion Planning

    I have loaded numeric and string data for especify combination, for example
    soruce Txtfile:
    Year Measures Market Data1 Data2
    "Jan","Sales","New York","120","2013/01/01"
    Hyperion Planning:
    (combinations in my target)
    Jan,Sales,NewYork,E_1011--->120
    Jan,Sales,NewYork,E_1008--->"not loaded"
    E_1011 is defined as Numeric data type in Hyperion Planning
    E_1008 is defined as Date data type in Hyperion Planning
    In my Interface source file, field Data1,Data2 is defined as "String", why ODI is loading only Data1 field?, how can I do for load Data2 field.
    Thanks for your help.

    AFAIK, I don't think you can use the same description for multiple members.
    What i would suggest is to concatenate your member name and alias and use that as Alias. As your account member is the placeholder and would not confuse anyone. Ensure that you maintain the 80 character limit

  • How to delete Hyperion Planning member using ODI

    Hi All,
    Anyone know how to delete Hyperion Planning member using ODI? And how to update account type on Hyperion Planning Using ODI?
    e.g.:
    I have a member with account type Saved Assumption, and I need to change to Revenue, but it cannot change. But if I change to Expense, it can. So what's wrong with the mapping?
    This is my csv file for update a member on Hyperion Planning.

    Hi,
    To delete a member you use the Operation column, the following values can be used.
    Update – This is the default and is used if not populated, it Add, updates, moves the member being loaded.
    Delete Level 0 - Deletes the member being loaded if it has no children
    Delete Idescendants –Deletes the member being loaded and all of its descendants.
    Delete Descendants –Deletes the descendants of the member being loaded, but does not delete the member itself.
    Does the member you trying to change to Revenue have a variance reporting set to "Expense" as it will need to be set to "Non Expense"
    Also in your interface you can add logging options in the IKM, this maybe will give a clearer indication where your problem lies.

  • Help! Hyperion Planning Dimension formula no longer works after name change

    Hi,
    I am having an issue with Hyperion Planning. I recently changed an account's dimension name from ASales & Property Taxes (D) to AProperty Taxes (D). However, the original name was used in a formula of another account. When I ran my refresh I got the following error:      
    Error [1200354] detected in member formula for member "AFacilities Costs as a % of Revenue".
    So I went into planning and went to the referenced account and looked at the formula. The formula still had the old member name ASales & Property Taxes (D) so I changed the formula to the new name AProperty Taxes (D). However, when I went to validate the formula I got the following error message:
    Error compiling formula for [] (line 1): expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["ASales & Property Taxes (D)"]) in function []
    However, my formula has the new name not the old name. Here is my formula:
    ("AMaintenance (D)" + "AMaintenance (SG&A)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (D)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (SG&A)" + "AOperating Leases (D)" + "AOperating Leases (SG&A)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (D)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (SG&A)" + "AProperty Taxes (D)" + "AProperty Taxes (SG&A)" + "ASecurity (D)" + "ASecurity (SG&A)" + "AInsurance (D)" + "AInsurance (SG&A)")/ARevenue;
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please help, as a result of this issue none of my accounts or clients are getting pulled into the Balance Sheet causing it to not tie with Oracle :( Thanks!!

    Hi,
    What happens if you try and refresh with updating the formula to reference the correct name?
    You won't be able to validate the formula because the member does not yet exist in essbase until the refresh has completed.
    If you have problems you could always, remove the formula and store it, refresh so the new member gets created, then put the formula back and refresh again.

  • How to customise the Period dimension in Hyperion planning

    Hi Guru's
    We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2
    We have an requirement to customise the period dimension as follows,
       -Period
         -HalfYear1
           -Q1
           -Q2
         -HalfYear2
           -Q3
           -Q4
    How to add HalfYear in the period Dimension..Please help me with this..
    Thanks

    While creating application what did you choose to have for Period Dimension , is it Periods by default or you did go for custom ?
    Also check hp_admin guide page 104
    Period Dimension Properties
    Period, Parent, Alias: Default, Alias: T1, Data Storage, Two Pass
    Calculation, Description, Formula, UDA, Smart List, Data Type,
    Operation, Type, Start Period, End Period, Aggregation (Plan1),
    Aggregation (Plan2), Aggregation (Plan3)
    Notes:
    . For Period, Parent should be specified for most update operations.
    . Type (such as Base or Rollup) cannot be changed for existing members. You can add and
    update Rollup and Alternate members. You can update BegBalance and Base time periods
    (for example, to add an alias). You cannot add or modify YearTotal time period. The DTS
    Period type is recognized, but is not supported by the Outline Load utility. If you try to load
    DTS information, the utility displays an error in the log file.
    . Start Period and End Period are valid for Rollup Period types.
    Thanks

  • Remove access for each member of a particular dimension from Hyperion Planning Applciation

    We are trying to remove access for groups for each member of a particular dimension( which has more than 1000 members) of a Hyperion Planning application. We are going through Administration->Manage DImensions -> member , Under security click view and select the group and then remove access But the problem is there are more than 1000 members under this dimension , so it will be time consuming to go to each member and then remove access for the group. Is there any other way we can do this?
    Also is there a way to bulk delete native directory groups from Hyperion Shared services, instead of deleting each native group manually one by one?

    The reaso we want to go for Relational tables is that when we did Exportsecurity utility for that planning application  and imported back the SecFile.txt without doing any changes ,still it errored out giving errors like :
    "The following access not imported:-"PLN-ORG-0278-999 Bureau Strtgc & Oprtnl ""PLNning",0278-999,READWRITE,MEMBER due toInvalid user name found in the file."
    It is erroing out even if we did not do any modifications to the secfile.txt.
    Moreover there are more than 1000 members for which we have to remove access permissions manually one by one. It is a tedious process.
    So we are looking at other options like , which relational tables have got Native directory groups information, and the sql queires we can execute to remove the unwanted Native directory groups from Shared Services?

  • ODI - Hyperion Planning  - Plan Type Option Missing

    Hi All,
    Iam not able to see the Plan Type option in the Hyperion Planning Application. For the application we have in planning has 5 plan types. A custom dimension is enabled for 3 plan types. When I reverse engineer the application under that dimension I should view Plan Type and Aggregation of that plan type. Currently Iam able to see only aggregation option of the 3 plan types but not plan type option.
    This plan type option would decide in which plan types members are to be created. "True" would create that member in that plan type. "False" would not create that member in that plan type.
    Any ideas ....
    Thanks,
    Ramesh

    Hi Willasi,
    Thanks for the update. I clearly understand the point you are trying to convey. Here is my scenario is that "Entity" is a standard dimension and "Department" is my custom dimension.
    As per your point
    "Entity" is enabled in "PnL","Capital","Workforce","Balance","Revenue" and when i add a entity i have a option to select in which database this entity should exist.
    "Department" is enabled in "PnL", "Workforce", "Revenue" and in this case when i add a department should that department should exist in 3 plan types is that mandatory.
    Is that any alternate option to enable that department can exist in one plan type ?
    As per my requirement some department should exist in one plan type not in other plan type
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • Making Changes in Essbase & Hyperion Planning

    when we make changes in Hyperion Planning Application they show changes in Essbase Application also but When we make changes in Essbase Application It does not show changes in Hyperion Planning Application. Why?

    Any changes you want to make to the Essbase database for Hyperion Planning must be done through the Planning app. Otherwise direct changes made on the Essbase side will be erase upon the refresh.^^^Not strictly true -- the Essbase UDA_HSP allows Essbase-only properties without reference to Planning. This is the way Planning worked till System 9. You can still use this UDA in Planning -- I used it in Planning just last week for a Scenario member calculation that referenced members in only one Plan Type out of three. It is a pain in the rear and impossible to resolve in Planning member formulas themselves.
