Creating an Aggregation Layer

I am trying to create an aggregation layer which is to built off a multi provider which has a real time info cube. When I try and create the aggregation layer I get the message:
Aggregation Level <level name>: Infoprovider <Info provider name> cannot be used for definition
Why am I getting this message and how can I resolve it? Thanks

At least one key figure and one characteristic have to be included in the aggregation level.
●     The key figures used have to have the database aggregations SUM, MIN or MAX. With MIN or MAX, key figure values can only be displayed. They cannot be changed using manual planning or planning functions.
●     For key figures of type date or time, only the data type u2018DECu2019 is supported.
●     Referencing key figures (and thus also non-cumulative key figures or elimination of internal business volume) are not supported in aggregation layers.
●     If a characteristic is compounded and used in an aggregation level, the aggregation level must also contain all compounding "parent" characteristics.
●     If a key figure is used in an aggregation level and does not have a fixed unit of measure or currency, the aggregation level must contain the associated characteristic for the unit.
●     If a key figure with exception aggregation is used in an aggregation level, the aggregation level must also contain the characteristic for exception aggregation if it occurs in the underlying InfoProvider
●     The aggregation level inherits a navigation attribute from the underlying InfoProvider if it includes the basic characteristic of the navigation attribute. Note that the navigation attribute for an aggregation level is not visible in the Planning Modeler. It is only visible in the Query Designer.
●     An aggregation level cannot be created on MultiProviders if a characteristic of an InfoProvider contained in the MultiProvider supplies two different characteristics in the MultiProvider.
●     If a characteristic on the InfoProvider that serves as the basis for an aggregation level is constant, this characteristic has to be included in the aggregation level.
Hope this helps.

Create entry for characteristic which is not in aggregation layer

Dear all,
I have an realtime cube with an aggregation layer on top for a planning application. For some reason I can not include one characterisctic in the aggregation layer.
Although I need a value for this characteristic, e.g. after each saving within the planning application.
Is there a way to create entries (constant) for specific characteristic which are not part in the aggregation layer.
We are running NW 7.1.
Any help would be great.
Best regards,
Stefan from Munich/Germany

Hi,
As tilak has mentioned above, you can use characteristic relationships to derive a characteristic data based on another charactereistic value.
The following are thr things are the things to be kept in mind whn using characteristic relationships,
1. Load the master data properly for the required characteristics if you are using relationship of type, either attribute or hierarchy.
2. If you want to derive rthe data based on your own requirements, use relationship of type DSO or Exit.
3. Make sure that the particular characteristic relationship after creation, inorder to use it in your planning application.
For more details, you can refer to the link, [Re: IP: Characteristic derivation during Transfer values|Re: IP: Characteristic derivation during Transfer values]

How can I create a new layer that is a gradient?

Hi, i'm very new to photoshop scripting and am having some trouble.
I'm looking for a way to take an image i have and set it to have a gradient opacity as it approaches the middle, my thought on how to do that was to just create a layer that is a gradient from top left to bottom right and then attach that as a vector mask.
Any ideas on how I could create this gradient layer in script, or a better method of doing this opacity gradient?
Thanks in advance,
Levianth

You could try this:
// 2012, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;
if (theLayer.isBackgroundLayer == true) {theLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false};
// create gradient layer;

LACK OF FULL PEN TOOL FUNCTIONALITY WHEN CREATING A SHAPE LAYER

Hello, I'm going through Chris Meyer's video course on being an AE apprentice and have spent over an hour on the following issue.
Here is what I know.
I know I am trying to create a shape layer, not a mask, to create a frame to surround the video of the green field on the attached screenshot. Therefore, I pressed "F2" to make sure I am doing so.
I want to define the borders of this picture frame by using the pen tool to draw a path on the layer entitled "Windy Peak".
I have highlighted that layer in my timeline.
This video was pasted on to a placeholder shape that I had created using Command Option "/" on my Mac.
I do have limited use of the pen tool, because it displays properly when I hover it above the borders of the video to be framed.
But I lack access to the toolbar controls I want to complete my assignment.
For example, I would like to create a gradient to define the internal coloration of this frame, but I have no use of the eyedropper when I click on the Color Picker.
Also, I am unable to access or manipulate any of the standard fill or stroke options for use of my pen.
This is what I know.
Thanks for your help! Matt
Message was edited by: Matt Dubuque to add the fact that the video had been pasted on to a placeholder shape image by pressing Command Option "/" on my Mac.

Thanks for pitching in Todd and Rick, I appreciate it very much.
As previously stated, I do have use of the pen tool, but it only has limited functionality as demonstrated by the path I created on the green meadow. My Tools Panel remains activated .
My core problem remains that I am unable to adjust the fill or stroke settings for my pen.
I have tried changing and resetting various work spaces and this has not helped.
I'm scratching my head here.

Creating a New Layer Using Icons in Adjustment Palette

When creating a new layer using the icons in the adjustments palette and holding ALT in CS5 a dialog box would appear before creating the new layer. At this point you could rename the layer change the blending mode etc.
In CS6 I do not get the dialog box to appear the new layer is just created. I've tried to reset my preference twice and this has not help. Any ideas?

Your memory has failed
On the contrary, your memory may have failed.
ACJ81 is correct (at least as far as Ps on OS X is concerned) and the problem was mentioned in the forum not too long ago. In CS5, Alt-clicking an icon in Adjustments panel does cause a New Layer dialog to pop open and the dialog fails to appear in CS6.
In CS6 and CS5, the dialog will appear if you pick an Adj Lyr from the Layer > New Adjustment Layer submenu, both with or without Alt modifier. (That lack of control over the appearance of an optional dialog when picking from a menu is an inconsistency in the interface.)
In CS6 and CS5, the dialog will appear if you Alt-click the black and white circle at bottom of Layers panel then pick an Adj Lyr from the menu, as Noel said.

Creating a new layer request...

Does anyone know of a plugin that when creating a new layer, the name of the layer is immediately editable or which brings up a dialog window prompting you to name it, as in photoshop and illustrator?
This would really speed things up.
Thanks,

Yeah I knew that but it means you gotta use the mouse to click on it which just a pain all the time. I avoid using the mouse whenever possible.
I was hoping a new layer with the name immediately editable could be done with one gesture.
For example in photoshop, you do the short cut for new layer which is ⌥⌘N and that brings up a window with the layer name immediately editable. No mouse needed.
Thanks for your help anyway!

Problem with Photoshop Elements 11 - I am trying to create a fill layer

I am trying to create a fill layer. I am really missing something but I don't know what it is. I bring up a photo, go into Expert. i click layer at the top then click new fill layer and solid colour. It all works but then that is all that I can see and I cannot make it a background and put the picture in it.

Elements has its own forum Photoshop Elements
Element most likely has more the one way to do that. Photoshop does. In Elements advance mode in the layer palette the is an Icon the can be use to add different types of layers and the layer menu also has items to add different type of layers.

I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

Cannot create a new layer when opening a gif

Using Photoshop Elements 8, I open a gif that I want to change the text for. I open the file and the first thing I want to do is create a new layer, but I am not able to. the New Layer button in the layers area is disabled, as is the Layers menu. How do fix this?

Since, animated .gif has got changed when opening in PSE9 so here is the alternative
You can always save your layered psd file which you convert to animated gif so in case you want to modify anything you can do it in .psd file and then create another animated .gif for your use.

Unable to create Business Foundation Layer in XI4 IDT using OLAP connection

Hi,
I have created a BICS connection against an SAP BW cube and want to use this connection in order to build a Business Layer in XI4 Information Design Tool. When I try to map this connection to the business layer, it errors out "Error occurred during connection selection - Connection is not supported".
I'm currently using BO XI4 SP1 and SAP BI NW Eh1 SP6.
Can anyone throw some light on how to create a Business Layer/Universe against an SAP BW cube?
Also, can we query ECC systems using the new semantic layer in XI4 from WebI?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm getting the same error. Did you already solve the problem?
Kind regards,

How to create a "dummy" layer to link other layers to the dummy.

Here is my problem:
I have a bunch of Layers, I want to behave the same way (here scaling, but I had also rotation before). My approach (as used formerly with my 3D applications) is to create a "dummy" layer, where the channnels of the other layers are linked to. For this I used the "Placeholder" item, but rendering obviously got me an error message, because the "placeholder" is intended for other use.
So my question: How do you solve such a situation the intended way?
L.

Found the possible answer by sniffing on other peoples problems: The dummy is called "Null" here!
Unfortunetly, I cannot offer to myself the 10 points!

How do you create a new layer in a specific group layer?

I'm trying to work within a particular group and every time I click the new layer button or paste a jpg image into the document, the new items appear at the very top of the layers panel and I have to move it down the list and place it in the group I'm working in. Is it possible to paste an image or create a new layer so that it appears in a specific layer group?

Yes, but you need to from your layers palette flyout menu remove the check in front of paste remembers layers.
Or else the bitmaps in your clipboard have no illustrator layer assigned, therefore Illustrator creates or adds to an existing layer 1.
