Copy Performance Point lists between environments

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to copy paste Performance Point content lists and Data Connexion between 2 SharePoint 2013 environments (different farms)
Actually we use Dashboard Designer to create report, kpi, filter and Dashboard . We actually have many items in our production farm and would like to copy these elements into POC farm (same Active Directory, same Cube, OLAP)
Is it possible ? We already success to copy Performance Point content in the same farm between 2 differents web application or Site collection.
Best regards,

Hi arimaze,
How did you copy PerformancePoint content in the same farm?
Whether you try to use "Export Content" and "Import Content" ribbon button in PERFORMANCEPOINT ribbon. Please do a test, and let me know the result.
In addition, there are two articles about migrating PerformancePoint content, please check if they are useful for you:

Performance Point Services data source pointing towards wrong datasource after production instance copied in development

Hi
We have copied our Project Server 2010 production databases to development server. We have few reports created by using Performance Point Services, but here when we try to open the reports the data source is pointing towards production data source
instead of dev.
We are getting some issue while executing the reports
Request you to let me know what exactly the cause and steps to rectify the issue.
Thanks
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

As you have copied data from Prod to Dev reports are pointing to production data sources and reports are unable to display data. Whenever we copy the data from one environment to other then this kind if issue occurs.
We need to modify the data source of all the reports manually so that report point to dev data source.
You have to open data source for your reports and change it from prod to dev then reports will display correct data.

What is difference between distribution list and share point group? Can we add distribution list into person and group column of share point list?

what is difference between distribution list and share point group? Can we add distribution list into person and group column of share point list?

there is a workaround you can try, create audience and add DL to them and deal with the audience or convert DL to groups

Performance Point - need to limit permissions to Sharepoint lists

I set up Performance Point Dashboard Designer.
And as per Microsoft's instructions, I set up an Unattended Service Account for the Performance Point Service Application.
And I gave this account read permissions under the Web Application's "User Policy".
However, this gives a user access to see all sharepoint lists when they're creating a data source.
When a user is creating a data source in Dashboard Designer, I want to limit their permissions to SharePoint lists to only what they normally have access to on the SharePoint sites.
How can I configure Performance Point service application another way , instead of using an unattended service account?
Please help!
thanks!
Also want to mention that I have Business Intelligence Centre set up as a Site Collection, and I only gave this user "Contribute" permissions, but it still gives them access to see everything in SharePoint sites when they create a data source,
which shouldn't be!!
How can I get it to reflect the same permissions that the user has in SharePoint? They shouldn't see Lists that they don't have access to.

Does anyone know how to limit permissions for Dashboard Designer??
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Color and styles of the performance point scorecard changing between designer and published version.

Greetings specialists!
I'm experiencing a problem with one of my scorecards. I designed the scorecard using performance point dashboard designer and used it to color the top level KPI letter white. The rest of the letters is using a dark grey, but when I use the socrecard in a
webpart in a performance point webpage all the letters appear colored in dark grey including the top level kpi letters which in the designer have been parametrised to use white.
Is it some sort of problem or known bug? It there any reason that can explain this erratic behaviour? Maybe it's inheriting the style from something else??! Any ideas clues or something I can do to help solve the problem?
Thanks in advance!

The first thing will be to determine what is overriding the colors. Follow this guide to select the object that is the wrong color and post a screenshot of the CSS styles that are being applied (in the right panel).

Performance Point Services - Unable to connect to site from Dashboard designer

Recently we moved the Reports site collection from one environment to other. So the Performance point content is also copied.Now I wanted to change the report paths that were deployed using Performance point services. When I try to open the report file from
perforamnce pointcontent list it shows unexpected error. If I am trying to connect to the using Dashboard designer it says URL is not available does not reference Sharepoint Site or you do not have permissions to connect.
Pleasee see the attached file for more details.
How do the reports be fixed when they are to be deployed using Performance point services(Dashboard designer). Unfortunately we do not have the dashboard designer ddwx file with us. Its been developed by vendor and they have not given us.
How should the Dashboard reports(SSRS Report ) be moved from one environment to other.What is the best way to move the performance point dashboards from one environment to other.
Environment- Sharepoint 2010

At both site-collection level and web application level you need to enable SharePoint designer. Did you do that ?
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mcsnoiwb/archive/2010/07/01/locking-down-sharepoint-designer-2010.aspx
Opening site in SP Designer also needs WebDAV to be enabled on the web front end servers. If the problem still persists, simultaneously open up fiddler and see what's the error message you are getting. That may give you some clue to proceed

Managing Datasource specification when migrating between environments

Hi,
We have a Data Services 3.2 realtime job that uses many Base match transforms.
These Base match transforms are used as simple candidate selectors which do not perform any matching and fire native SQL queries.
As we are currently migrating from DQXI 11.6 to DSXI 3.2 we were running this job in our development environment.
So the datasource specified in these candidate selection transforms were pointing to our development database.
We are now migrating to our test environment which has a separate database of its own having the same tables.
So, is there a central place where we can update the database details, so that its reflected in all the candidate selection transforms ?
Or, do we need to manually drill down into each candidate selection transform and change the datasource specification there before pushing the jobs realtime?
In our old DQXI system, each project had a XML file which we migrated between environments and we modified all occurrences of the old datasource with the new one.
Can something similar be done in DSXI ?
Please let me know. Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks,
Saurav.

you can define multiple configuration for the Datastore that you are using in candidate selection, each for DEV, PROD etc env
and Define a System Configuration for each env, in System Config, you can specify which Datastore configuration to use
you can run the job using the System Config of that env
refer techincal manual for multiple Datastore Configuration and System Configuration

Last member based on date in Performance point Scorecard

Hello,
I have a scorecard in performance point with data parameter Month-Year. We have data for few months only like March, Aug and Dec for 2014. On my date drop down parameters, we have last 12 months Month year list. Like May 2014-Apr 2015. Now when user
select June 2014, I need to display data for March 2014 as we dont have data for June 2014. If user selects march 2015, then we need to display Dec 2014 data as we have Dec 2014 data. How can I do that in Performance point? Do I have to write logic in KPI
custom MDX or I have to write logic in connection formula in performance point dashboard? what logic I need to write?
Thank you!

Hi Satish,
Have you tried below:
Create Month1 object as =Month([Month]) and [total]as =Sum([Measure])
Then drag both Month1 and total objects in report block.

Performance Point Services vs Reporting Services

I am using Reporting Service in SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Version.Now i have to create a POC for Performance Point Service.I want to know in which scenerios i can use Performance Point Service instead of reporting service,Please suggest me the article which
differentiate between both the servies

In short, SSRS is great for drill-down (matrix) reports and free-form reports, PPS is great for building dashboards, KPIs and predictive reports. Also see:

Business Intelligence and performance point problem

Hi Everyone,
Please does anyone know why creating a dashboard from a Sharepoint list is such a hassle. I have configured performance point services, a secure store and a business intelligent website that has a data connection library and Performance Point content
list . Unfortunately anytime I try to use dashboard designer to create a new data source and specify the site settings(using unattended account method) I can't save it. It gives me an error claiming that I either don't have permissions or the data source
doesn't exist.
A search around the web for answers doesn't seems to solve my problem as it suggests that the problem is associate with many things which I'm not clear about. Please could someone who is good at this at least tell me the critical things to check and the
clearest way to set this up.
Thanks,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
According to your error " I either don't have permissions or the data source doesn't exist", it should be related to the unattended account permission.
Once the unattended service account has been configured, you must grant that account access to your data sources:
For SQL Server data, the account must have a SQL logon with db_datareader permissions on each database that you want to access.
For SQL Server Analysis Services data, the account must have read access to the cube or an appropriate portion of the cube, depending on your needs.
For Excel Services data, the account must have access to the Excel workbook in a SharePoint document library.
For data in a SharePoint list, the account must have read access to the list.

How to copy and paste formulas between documents in numbers 3.0?

I am unable to copy and paste formulas between 2 documents in numbers 3.0?

Hi Hans,
I can get a reference error here if the destination table does not have that range available while the source table does.
Are you sure your desination table has exactly the same structure and dimensions as your source table?
If it does, copy/paste via the Formula Editor should work. It works reliably here.
Also the formula in your latest post looks as if it might be corrupted-- lots of extra spaces (it seems). Did your orginal formula have those?
To sort this out, suggest turning off 'Use header names as labels' in Preferences.
If you end up with a formula in a cell as just Text (as Ian describes that's what happens when you copy from Numbers 2) you can convert that text to a formula by double-clicking the cell, clicking just before the text so that the insertion point appears in front of it and typing =. That activates the Formula Editor with the formula in it, which you can accept by clicking the green checkmark or hitting return.

How to copy automation curves in between parameters

Is it possible, to copy Specific automation curves between different parameters in Lofic pro X?
I know you can copy and paste automation curves from one track to another, but I can't remember if doing it from one parameter to other is possible.
If I want the exact automation curve that I did for my volume, to be used on the same ( or another ) track, but on a tremolo, How do you do that?
Whenever I try to paste it, it pastes to the same parameter ( Volume Curve to Volume parameter, etc. )
Edit:
I found the answer on another discussion, Use Comand,
Message was edited by: Huanvixo

In project one, open the Automation Event List for the region in question, select all, goto project two, do the same but use paste instead.
Slightly awkward perhaps, but it works. It would have been easier if the automation would just follow the regions when you drag them between projects.
Edit: the Automation Event List is only available as a KC, Ctrl + Cmd + E as default.

Performance Point Filter Scorecard by Time Dimension (without Time Intelligence)

Hello,
I use Performance Point 2010 and want to build a Performance Point Dashboard with Scorecard. My requirement is to provide a List of Years as a Filter for a Scorecard.
In the Scorecard I have a KPI which I want filter by Time Dimension. I can do this when I use "Time Intelligence" and "Time Intelligence Connection". But I want to use the "Member Selection Filter" to filter the Scorecard
KPIs by Years (Selected from a List).
I created a "Member Selection Filter" with certain Time Dimension and put Filter to a Dashboard. In my KPI Mapping Source I added a "new Dimension Filter" and choosed the same Time Dimension as
in the "Member Selection Filter".
When I try to connect the "Member Selection Filter" to my Scorecard, I can only choose the "Curent Date Time". As I know "Current Date Time" have to be used when Time Intelligence Filter is in use.
How I have to connect the Scorecard with the "Member Selection Filter"?
Thank you very much

Hi ShebUK,
I don't think we can achieve this requirement on the front end, but you can discuss this issue at the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=performancepointserver
I'm not familiar with PerformancePoint Services and not sure that we can implement linked dimension to achieve this. A linked dimension is one that exists in one Analysis Services database, but reused in another Analysis Services database of the same version
and compatibility level. For more information, please see:
Define Linked Dimensions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175648.aspx
Hope this helps.

Performance Point Dashboard Designer filter and SSRS parameter problem

I've created reports in SSRS, with parameters, but can't get the filter in Performancepoint to have any affect on the SSRS parameter/reports. My SSRS reports are using shared datasets I've created, with no cubes. My SSRS parameter is text data type.
In the Dashboard Content window, I have the filter in the header, and have drug (at different times) the display value and the member unique name to the report.
In this header area (with filter), clicking the down arrow, there is no Edit Connection option. Should there be? Or would that only be to connect to a higher up filter? When clicking Create Connection, under the Items tab, 'get values from' lists header
and Date and is greyed out, I can put the report name in 'send values to', but under Connect To, there are no options. Why? And the OK button is greyed out.
In the report area, the filter name (Date) is listed underneath Connections. And right clicking the filter for this connection and clicking Edit Connection, under the Items tab, under 'get values from', it says header and Date, and under 'send values to',
zone 1 - and the report name is listed. Under the Values tab, the parameter name (DateNameParm) is listed in the Connect To, and I've tried both member unique name and display value for source value.
There's another thread on here titled "Performance Point - Dashboard Filter Not Working with SSRS Reporting Parameters" (won't let me post link), where someone here says they had to change the filter data type
from GUID, but I see no place to do this.

Hi Roberto,
Dashboard layout and sizing in PerformancePoint is very flexible. This article covers nearly all of the sizing options available, one basic dashboard page scenario and a few common questions.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2008/01/07/performancepoint-dashboard-sizing-explained.aspx
Please go to the last question and answer: “filters are locked to auto-sizing,
so their width will override the size of their parent zone. Minimum filter width may be adjusted in the ParameterTree.css file. See the article
Working with the Monitoring CSS Files to Adjust Settings in Deployed Dashboards on the PerformancePoint team blog for more detail.”
As a best practice, put dashboard filters in a separate zone from where you put reports and scorecards. Otherwise, items such as chart legends or reports might not be displayed correctly.
