I had to figure this out for the .NET side of things. It may help, not sure.
I started by creating an instance of the client object seen below. In that client object there is an event that tells users when new data is available to be displayed. To subscribe to that event I register for the Event callback from that object. There is a lot more on this in the NI example finder if you search for NET Event Callback for Calendar Control. This is where I learned how to do most of this. I had to create a separate VI for the VI Ref and wired up a Reference to the data cluster as the user parameter. Next I create a dynamic event for that data cluster. If the value changes I want the event structure to do something for me. I use the NewVal and OldVal for comparison. At this point my front panel display is updated with any new information.
I am not sure if this will help but I know what it was like trying to figure out how to use an event from a DLL to trigger my LabVIEW VI. Let me know if this helped or if you need me to clarify anything.

Unable to Access Data Form with Users Provisioned as 'Planner'

Hello,
I am currently experiencing an issue that I can't seem to resolve. I was hoping someone else might have some insight and/or have come across this issue.
I created two data forms. Users have been assigned permissions to the dimensions included in the data form. I have also assigned users access to the data form. The model is a single currency model.
Upon logging into the application, the user is unable to open the data form unless he/she is provisioned as an 'Administrator'. Provisioning the user as a 'Planner' or 'Interactive User' does not allow the user to open the data form. The following message appears:
*"Security and/or filtering has resulted in a required dimension not being represented on this data form."*
My data form uses the following dimensions:
POV: ELEMENT
PAGE: SCENARIO, YEAR, VERSION, ENTITY
ROWS: ACCOUNT
COLUMNS: PERIOD
We are currently implementing Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.0. The operating system is Windows Server 2008 64-bit R2.
Any advice/suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Corey

I went ahead a created a data form that just used level 0 members and confirmed that the user had access to the members defined in the form. Still no luck.
I also checked to make sure the filters existed in Essbase. Here is what I found in Essbase:
Access: None
Member Specification: @IDES("Account"),@IDES("Scenario"),@IDES("Version"),@IDES("Entity"),@IDES("NTTA_ELEMENT")
I have no issues accessing the data through the Essbase Add-in.
I did notice some additional items in my Planning setup:
1. Task>Manage Process - Sub-Status states 'Failed' when I attempt to validate
2. Task>Manage Process - Status changes from 'Not Started' to 'Under Review' when I start the cycle.
3. Dimension Security - Users are attached to a group that has write access at the Descendent(Inclusive) level.
4. In the Account, Department, Scenario and Version dimensions I also setup the user to have write access at the member level.
As for my earlier post with the data forms, that was just my way of showing the dimensions used. I do have two data forms, 1) with top level and descendants/children and 2) with level 0 members only.
I checked the logs and there isn't really much info there. I have a case open with Oracle and a webex scheduled for tomorrow.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Corey

Can I hide data forms from users in Smartview?

I thought the "Allow offline usage" option was what controlled whether or not a form could be accessed in Smartview, but I appear to be wrong. Is there a way to limit the forms that users can see in the Open Forms option in Smartview?
We have a small set of forms we are thinking of allowing users to use Smartview to enter data in, but do not want to have them all visible. I can't find this topic in the documentation or in any of the other posts.
11.1.1.3.
Thanks.

Go to Display Properties and check the box "Make data form hidden". Before that you could export the form to Excel as a Smart View worksheet and keep that for distribution to your users.

Forms end-user guide

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is an end-user guide for webforms anywhere? I am looking for something that describes how the user-interface works and also features such as how an end-user can do a query-by-example.
Thanks,
Pierre.

Hi,
The options that user can set or customize are all in the FormsCentral 'Options' tab. The options that you listed above are currently not supported, Sorry.
Thanks,

What is the recommended approach to create XML input for forms service

Context:
As part of our development project, we need to retrieve data (eg. Policy details) from different modules and using this data we need to generate PDF document using a particular template (what we have uploaded to live cycle)
Solution we have tried:
We have created Java classes from XSD (for a particular template) using JAXB complier. Using these Java classes we instantiated all the parameters using data from different modules and got XML after marshalling. We send this XML as a byte array to forms service to get PDF. No issues in this context.
After displaying the PDF, under writer will modify some of the data and submit back to the application. Application again uses forms service to retrieve XML back as a byte array. This is where we had issues. We tried un-marshalling using same JAXB classes but we are loosing data for all the rich text fields.
Can you please guide us to handle this issue ASAP, because we are completely stuck in the development stage. We really appreciate if some one can respond to this issue.
Thank you

Hi jaya,
What do you mean by creating URL for a word document?
You can display all the files in ABAP by giving the location(u mean URL!).
call function 'CALL_BROWSER'
        exporting
          url = 'http://www.sap.com'.
or
call function 'CALL_BROWSER'
        exporting
          url = 'c:/test.doc'.

I have created one form using screen painter displaying text boxes and bind them to the table.
This form is working absolutely fine when there are some data in table (i.e. Browse using navigation)
My problem is, when I click add button from tool bar the "OK" button turn to "Add" that means the form is set to Add mode, but when I click "Add" button after entering some data nothing happens and input data is not stored in Table. The same "OK" Button turned to "Update" when I do changes in loaded data, but my changes are not reflected to table after I click "Update".

Thanks Nagarajan,
None.
There is no such query. The table fields is directly linked to Edit Box or Combo Box in form.
From the examples I learned that I have to do something like this to get my table updated
Dim oUsrTbl As SAPbobsCOM.UserTable
Dim Res As Integer
oUsrTbl = oCompany.UserTables.Item("DRIVERMST")
oUsrTbl.Code = oBPC.Value 'Item Specific of Driver Code Edit Box
oUsrTbl.Name = Left(oBPN.Value, 30) 'Item Specific of Name Edit Box
oUsrTbl.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_FullName").Value = oMFN.Value
oUsrTbl.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_FatherName").Value = oFTHN.Value
oUsrTbl.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_BirthDate").Value = oDOB.Value
oUsrTbl.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_PhoneNo").Value = oPHN.Value
(Similar For rest ofthe fields)
Res = oUsrTbl.Add()
Just let me know that is this necessary to do like above.. To be frank there are few more fields and matrices on the form which I didn't mentioned. I am just trying to get recovered from first step to proceed further.

Data Forms in Smart View - Add Members

We have data forms with Add Member functionality. When opening that data form using Smart View it puts red border around top member but then instead of allowing user to select a member it lists all of them in the rows. A good example is ICP data form where user can select partner to report balance. The data form online allows selection of individual partners but when same data form opened in Smart View it lists all 1,000+ ICP True entities.
Is syntax different when data form to be used with Smart View?
We have V11.1.1.3.

You have to suppress no data/zeros in SmartView and refresh the form to see the rows collapsed. I had created an enhancement request for this and it is currently under review by development. I would suggest you do the same if you'd like to see this fixed.
The bug is listed as 13878488 - SUPPRESS ROWS IS NOT ENABLED WHEN OPENING FORM IN SMARTVIEW

Dynamic period columns in data forms?

Hi,
We are running HFM v11.1.1.3
I have some input data forms that shows some different periods and scenarios, however the periods sometimes needs to be changed, so I was wondering if anyone knows a way in doing this dynamic?
For January we would like it to be:
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
and in March it should be:
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C4=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR-2
in June and September it should be
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C4=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR-3
so basically this would require 3 different forms, and with linked forms as well it will be many forms. So if there could be build in some kind of if statement?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,
Nobody is answering you because there is no way to do that with Data Forms.
If you are skilled with Excel, and if you understand the implications of going that path, you can create dynamic Excel grids that send data to HFM using HFM functions.
Depending on your needs and your budget, you can also create a custom web application that would replace data forms.
If you want to stick with data forms, then you will need to create 3 forms (+the linked forms you mentioned).
Not sure that helped...

Data form is coming as non editable

Hi
I am using hyperion planning 11.1.1.3 when i am creating data form by default it is coming as non editable i.e. all the cells are coming as green.
to give you more input in the my dataform -> other option-> make data form read only is unchecked.
so kindly help how to create a editable data form.

Hi John,
Thanks for the quick reply,
My version was standard bottom up which i changed to standard target
workflow was started that was also changed .
Maybe they not level 0 members- you are talking about the members is row and column dimension in the data form
Currency issue- there is no currency conversion script only the application is created as currency application to suit future enhancement, default currency is INR
year/period is not open- not sure about this what you are pointing to
but still my data form is showing as non editable
Kindly if you can help further , i will be great full.

Data Grid vs Data Form

Hi,
I can't remeber the followings:
When we should use a Data Grid instead of a Data Form?
what are the different features?

Data forms are meant for Data input. Though data can also be inputted in the Data grid. We use Data grid for running the consolidations. Further, in data forms the user has restricted POV while in case of Data Grid the user can select any members from the dimension heirarchy.
These are some of the differences..

Madhavi
