Currencies in Hyperion Planning

Hi, I'm working with Oracle Hyperion Planning, and I'm trying to create an application with multiple currencies. From what i read in the users guide there is an automatic calculation that should be created, as well as the dimension for manage the currencies.
I see the dimension but where can i see this calculation?? and if it doesn't appear why could it be?
Thanks a lot!!!
Nidia

Hi Nidia,
Multiple-currency applications store exchange rates with the HSP_Rates dimension, which includes these members and others that store currency rates:
HSP_InputValue: Stores data values
HSP_InputCurrency: Stores currency types for data values
For that matter you can create :
1) Select Administration, then Manage Exchange Rates.
2) Select Administration, then Manage Currency Conversion.
If multiple currencies are enabled for the Planning application when you create a currency
conversion, a currency conversion calc script is created, based on selected scenarios, versions,
and currencies. A second calc script is generated by Planning. It copies appropriate exchange
rates to the account, based on account rate types. For currency conversion, the Account type
always takes precedence. Data type evaluation order is not considered. The copy calc script is
named HspCrtB.csc for bottom-up versions and HspCrtT.csc for target versions. Running
the copy calc script enables the currency conversion calc script to run in BLOCK mode, which
is more efficient than CELL mode.
For more information check out planning Admin guide.
Cheers...!!!

Transactional Currency Budgeting in Hyperion Planning

Does Hyperion Planning support transactional currency budgeting? For example, I want to be able to prepare entries in my budget for a EUR functional currency entity in USD, GBP, and BRL. Is this possible? I am on 9.3.1. If this is not possible, does this functionality exist in version 11?

Hi,
There is nothing like Transactional currency budgeting "out of box" solution in planning.
You will have to devise your own functionality. One way of doing it: --
First way: --
1. Create a transactional currency dimension, similar to Currency dimension. Obviously, the names of transactianal currency will be T_USD etc, if you have currency duimension.
2. load numbers in transactional currency, convert currency from transactional to functional, and then from functional to reporting currency.
there might be other solutins depending upon your requirements complexity.

Using hsgetvalue function to retrieve Hyperion Planning Data

Hi All,
Lots of discussion about hsgetvalue, but still I do not succeed in using this function. Maybe someone can help.
Is this function work for HFM or also Hyperion Planning? Currently we are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 with related Essbase. This is what we've tried in Excel:
=hsgetvalue(“";”Scenario#BudFin;Year#FY12;Period#Begbalance;Partner#NA_Partner;Product#A251;Account#BOM Weight;Version#Working;Misc#R-SBDA;Entity#No Entity;Currency#Qty") ===> the result is syntax error.
=hsgetvalue("","Scenario#BudFin","Year#FY12","Period#Begbalance","Partner#NA_partner","Product#A251","Account#BOM Weight","Version#Working","Entity#No Entity","Currency#Qty","Misc#R-SBDA") ===> the result is No Connection.
Actually I'm still confused about the Connection parameter, which connection name we have to use?
Thanks.
Gajah

Hi,
HsGetValue
Data sources: Financial Management, Hyperion Enterprise, Essbase
HsGetValue retrieves data from the data source for selected members of a dimension. When HsGetValue retrieves no data, the value specified for the #NoData/Missing Label replacement option is used.
When users select Refresh or Refresh All, only HsGetValue is called. When users select Submit, HsSetValue is called first, HsGetValue is then called only if HsSetValue returns successfully.
Syntax
HsGetValue(“Connection”,”POV”)
Connection parameters can have these values:
Empty: the default connection
HsActive: the active associated connection
The user-defined name for a private connection
You connect to data sources through shared or private connections.
_# Shared Connections_
Shared connections are stored in a central location and are available to multiple users through the Smart View Panel. You cannot add, edit, or rename shared connections, but you can save them as private connections, which you can edit and rename.
_# Private Connections_
Private connections are those that you create by saving a shared connection to your local computer or by entering a URL to a provider that is not configured for shared connections. When you create a private connection, it becomes the active connection.
Creating Private Connections
You can create a private connection from a connection that is not listed in Shared Connections if you know the URL.
To add a connection using a URL:
1. From the Smart View ribbon, click Panel.
2. From the Smart View panel, click the arrow next to "Home" Icon, and then select Private Connections.
3. In the text box, enter the URL or the local storage directory for the data source to which you want to connect. The URL syntax for the various data sources is as follows.
Financial Management: http(s)://servername:port/hfmofficeprovider/hfmofficeprovider.aspx
Hyperion Enterprise: http://servername:port/heofficeprovider/heofficeprovider.aspx
Planning: http(s)://servername:port/HyperionPlanning/SmartView
Essbase: http(s)://servername:port/aps/SmartView
Reporting and Analysis: http(s)://servername:port/raframework/browse/listxml
Financial Close Management: http://servername:port/fcc/servlets/smartview/fcmsvservlet
Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance: http://servername:port/StrategicPlanning/SmartView
4. Click Next Button
5. Enter the Name of the connect as "Essbase_Conn"
6. Enter username, password and connect the worksheet.
Now you can create functions by two methods -
1. Using Function Builder
2. Manually (Which you have opted)
To create a function manually:*
1. In Excel, click the cell in which you want to enter the function.
2. Enter = (equal sign).
3. Enter the function name, HsGetValue, for example.
4 Enter parameters for the function,
HsGetValue(“Connection”,”POV”)
Connection parameters can have these values:
# Empty: the default connection
# HsActive: the active associated connection
# The user-defined name for a private connection
so the function looks like this:
HsGetValue(“Essbase_Conn”;"Year#Jan;Measures#Sales;Product#100;Market#East;Scenario#Actual")
5. To refresh the worksheet, from the Smart View menu, select Refresh. Functions are validated only when you refresh them.

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.
Parent,Account,Default Alias,Operation,Data Storage,Two Pass Calculation,Account Type,Time Balance,Skip Value,Data Type,Exchange Rate Type,Use 445,Variance Reporting,Source Plan Type,Aggregation,Member Formula
Account,Statistics,,Update,,,,,,,,,,,,
Account,Meal,,Update,Store,,Expense,,,,,,,,,
Account,Test1,,Update,Never Share,,Saved Assumption,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
Account,Test2,,Update,Never Share,,Revenue,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
Account,Test3,,Update,Never Share,,Saved Assumption,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sumardi
Edited by: Sumardi Wijaya on Mar 31, 2009 10:57 PM

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.
Cheers

Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issue

It was suggested I post this in calc manager as well, so I hope cross posting is allowed!
We are trying to migrate from Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
Our business rules were migrated to Calc Manager by our IT team. The rules run (for the most part).
Our main complaint about this migration is that it excluded our comments inside the business rules and added it's own!
When we first open the rule it is in graphical mode. But on the Script Tab I can see our orignal Business rule, but it's missing comments. Not all comments -- those at the top of the rule are intact, but after it starts getting into the meat of the rule, it loses many, but not all of the comments. When I chose to edit this rule in script mode, then calc manager adds tons if its own comments, making the code very junky to read.
So, multiple questions -- how do we get the migration of business rules to calc manager to stop losing our important comments. Is it possible to get the newly migrated rules to initially open in script mode rather than graphical mode so that it doesn't add it's own comments. Or is there a way to turn off the added commenting?
This is a snippet of our rule in 11.1.1.3:
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
/* FIX on account members that should be rolled up in the AGG statement below. */
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it comes up in graphical mode in Calc Mgr 11.1.2.2 (note that comment is already missing):
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it switches from graphical to script (bonus comments are added):
FIX ( /*DIM:Entities*/"D0P000 Pushdown")
/*STARTCOMPONENT:FORMULA*/
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
/*ENDCOMPONENT*/ ENDFIX
FIX ( /*DIM:Accounts*/@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
Thanks for any help.
Brenda

You might learn to appreciate graphical mode in Calc Manager, we do. It is not like the old Business Rules in EAS. I am an old school calc script person, and have NO love for drag-and-drop coding ... I need control. ;-)
Insert a blank script object and paste your code into the 'Script' tab for that object. Set up your prompts and use the {} notation in your code. All of the comments will stay put ... as long as you DON'T USE EDIT, SCRIPT! We make a fair number of generic, reusable pieces of code and save them as shared scripts. These can be dragged into Rules. Click on the Rule's Begin object and choose the Script tab ... you will see how the bits are assembled into complete calc script. We've even come up with a way to use LOOP ... ENDLOOP as though it were a procedural IF statement so we can control whether or not a chunk of code is active or not.
Shared scripts are especially good for currency translation components since we occasionally add new currencies and want to make a change in one object that is used in dozens of business rules.

Cannot Initialize Sample Application in Hyperion Planning

Hi,
I am new to Essbase and Hyperion EPM System 11.1.1.1.0, and I am currently trying to test Planning functionality. I have installed and configured the EPM system, and when I run the EPM System Diagnostics, everything is Successful except Connecting to Essbase Studio Server (which is a seperate issue for another thread).
I am trying to work with the sample Planning application included with the install. I followed directions here from John Goodwin's blog, but I encounter an error when I try to initialize the sample application. I have also tried creating the application through the Workspace, which is documented here. I get the same error when initializing the sample application.
The error message I'm getting says: "Failed to initialize Sample Application. Please see log for details." Where is this Planning log located? I am running on Tomcat.
When I try to create the database, following John's blog, through Administration > Manage Database > Create, I also am getting an error on step 18 of 21: [Consol] Verifying member formulas. The error reads:
com.hyperion.planning.olap.HspVerifyOutlineException: Verify Outline failed with the following errors:

     Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "511800".
What do I need to do to get this sample application up and running so I can see what it does?
How do I initialize the sample application?
Why can't I create a database correctly (without the error above) so I can then load data into the Consol database via the Essbase Administration Services Console? Currently the outline in EAS does not verify (it gives me the same list of member error messages above), and so I cannot load the sampleapp_data into the database. If anyone has any insight, please help. Thank you.
-Scott

Thanks Seb,
This was very helpful, but my problem of initiliazing and creating a functional Sample Applicaiton is not quite solved. I checked my outline in Essbase Administration Services, and received the same member errors I mentioned in my first post. It seems that my outline has member formulas that reference unknown member names (as you suggested), so these members with invalid member formulas are returning errors. I went in to all these members and manually changed the formula scripts to ; (semi-colon) and verified them.
After I fixed all the errors, the outline verified successfully. However, I still am getting an Error when trying to load data from sampleapp_data.txt file. The first couple times, my error was related to unknown members names that were in the datafile but not in my outline, like "FY08", "Plan", "BAS" (i'm guessing this is a currency?), and "Working". It gave me these errors one at a time, so for example, the first time when loading the data the error would read "Unknown Member in File [FY08]", then after i added that member to the outline it would go through a list of other unknown members one by one. Finally, when I manually added them all, I am currently getting this error message after attempting to load the sampleapp_data.txt file:
Parallel dataload enables; [1] block prepare threads, [1] block write threads.
Incorrect Number Of Column Members In Asymmetric File After [1] Records Completed.
Unexpected Essbase error 1003005.
I have the Oracle guide that describes what Essbase error 1003005 means, but the information isn't very helpful to me. The guide simply seems to suggest that I check to see that my datasource is valid. Since my data source is the sampleapp_data.txt file included with the installation, I myself did not create the data so I really don't know how to ensure that it is valid. Is it possible that when I downloaded the files, I got a bad version of the Sample Application database outline or datafile? I am unsure of how to fix this problem, as my goal still remains to test the functionality of Essbase and Hyperion Planning. If anyone can point towards a solution or towards another way to test out applications in Planning, please help. Thank you.

How exactly can I load TEXT DATA to a Hyperion Planning application?

I have a data file that has TEXT data that I want to load to planning. I do not wish for this text data to be displayed in a Smart List, rather I want to use the new Planning data type "Text"
In chapter 5 of the Planning Admin Guide in the Matrix for Data Load Tools, it says the Planning Outline Load Utility can load Text Data values.
I can't make sense out of the the instructions to load data with this utility. Can someone please help me?

Hi John,
I like your idea of flipping the Data Load Dimension and the Driver Dimension. Unfortunately Planning won't let me set Period as a Data Load Dimension.
I only get Account, CCCC, Employee, SCCC, and SAU_CAU_Facility (5 of the 11 dimensions in this application).
So that's why I set the Data Load Dimension and the Driver Dimension as I did. It ran but with some kickouts on missing members. So 16 of the 19 records I sent processed and I understand why these three kicked out in the error file:_

FDM Drill through capabilty from Hyperion Planning

Hi,
I have currently some questions regarding the Drill through capability from Hyperion planning.
I successfully loaded a multiperiod excel file into FDM with the interface with this property :
Account     Centre     Description     Legal Entity     BU Product     Currency     Version     Application     Customer     Supplier
A     C     D     UD1     UD2     UD3     UD4     UD5     UD6     Default Supplier     V     V
ROYALTIES          Default_Site     SOI - Prime - 4 - 3400/4000 Å -     COMPANY_INC     4.PRO.RD0003.PF     USD     Sales Initial     App_1     Customer1     Default Supplier     100     200
When i did the drill back I could see all the info except the description. It is true that description field is not present in Hyperion planning but I thougth I could see it in the drill back.
On top of that I have been to my FDMApplication directory to see the file that is used in the drill back (SAMPLE0748.dat) and open it with notepad. I can see all the information except the description column.
Does anyone know how I can keep in FDM all the informations I want from my first excel file ?
Thank you,
David

I understand what you explain to me and I agree.
Only one problem is that I don't think in my Hyperion Application I use the account description or Description 2 that would explain the fact I can not use it in the drill back.
So my next question on this topic is, how do I make sure that I can copy attributes values in FDM into Planning.
For your info I check on the workbench and "Account description" & "Description 2" are under my application "Attributes dimensions"
By the way I have an other question wich is not far from the last one.
Regarding the drill back if do an import like this :
CUST1     (Mapping)     GROUPCUST1      100
CUST2     (Mapping)     GROUPCUST1 200
Will I be able to see in the Drill back CUST1 & CUST2 ?
by the way do you agree with this discussion Dimensions/Fields Displayed on Drill through screen ? Because it is something I wanted to do in FDM...
Thanks again,

Error WHile creating a User in Hyperion Planning

HI,
Please someone guide since im facing this problem for a longtime.
I created a user in Planning webpage and refreshed the security filters.
When i tried to login using planning webinterface, it showed an error "User priscila_monsanto does not exist in the domain or the password is incorrect"
And i could able to find an exception in the file"Hyperion Planning-err.log" present in Jrun path of the planning server.
And when i logged into the admin console for the plannng cube, i found user anme in the security-->users field and there is no filters assigned to the user.
Please help me.
Thanks,

at com.thortech.xl.adapterGlue.ScheduleItemEvents.adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.implementation(adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.java:49)
This is definitely a Custom Adapter because OOTB Adapter name is adpADCSADDUSERTOGROUP and NOT adpADDUSERTOADGROUP
So, it is your custom code and in the code you are passing incorrect value of the Active Directory Child process form...
The correct name is UD_ADUSRC and the Group Name column name is UD_ADUSRC_GROUPNAME.
While you are passing UD_AD_CHILD as the child process form and UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME as Group Name column name..
Use OOTB Adapter... Correct these discrepancies... Your addition of group will work
And since you are creating custom adapter, you need to be more careful and remain consistent throughout..
Then if you want to use UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME, use it everywhere consistently... Pass only this value in the adapter...
And even in lookups, if any... Search everywhere... Keep things consistent... They will work... Because good news is that you are able to create user in AD via Java Code...
And if any post is even slightly helpful, it is a good habit to mark it with helpful or correct ... And also mark the entire question as answered so that other people also are benefited.

Not able to see data in Hyperion Planning data forms.

Hi ,
I created Hyperion planning EPMA application and loaded data in to it. But I am unable to see data in my data forms? Please give me solution for this?

Hi,
Here there are 2 things, once your epma heirarchy is ready did you deploy it against your planning App ? and incase if you haven't deployed your planning application, then old outline would be existing in Essbase and if you load data for old outline it will still take into but when you deploy the database gets restructured and older data gets restructured/removed.
Before going onto that level first check if your load data to essbase completed successfully. and did you load data for the combinations on dataform ? ? Try manually inputting a number through data form and submit and do a refresh to see if value comes up. ? Check your data form settings , if you have enables suppress missing rows/blocks.
Thanks

How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.

HI,
How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.i.e., how to find license limit in hyperion planning 11.1.2.1.
In Essbase propreties, the system is showing maximum planning users could be 65535.
what would be the number for concurrent scenario?
Thanks
Giri
Edited by: Giriprasad on Jun 18, 2012 2:18 AM

The number of users would be based on your license agreement with Oracle, the system is not aware of your license agreement so it is up to you to stick to it.
Cheers

Please help me on this issue...
Thanks
GTS.

Those are just warnings and shouldn't be an issue.
What browser are you using, have you tried to go directly and through workspace to the application creation wizard.
Cheers

I think the installation of planning on Vista is difficult. As some of the files doesn't support even i am tired of doing that.
But tell me one thing have you installed all other products , I mean Essbase, (server, client) , AAS and Shared services.
Are they working good .
I have formatted my system to XP and installed everything , but the problem is when i install planning it prompts me that IIS 5 should be greater other wise EPM will not install...
there are lot of things with planning 1) i can't datasource as it is not highlighting when we configure with Shared services
2) It does not create product instance .
If any one can fix this thing by giving me a suggestions.
Advance Thanks

Hyperion Planning Classic vs. BPMA 9.3

Hi,
We are on Hyperion Planning 9.3 (including all latest patches). We are in the process of building a new Planning application. Currently we donot have an ETL tool and it doesnt seem we will get one for the next few months until our new Planning application is deployed into production. So in a nutshell we wont have an ETL to solve the below problem.
I have used Planning Classic along with an ETL tool to build my meta-data in past implementations, and havent had a chance to use BPMA. Lately I have started getting aquinted with BPMA and understand some of its advantages. However, I still have a few specific questions;
1. I know Planning Classic allows manual creation of members, does BPMA allow the same? Or does BPMA have to have flat file or interface table to create or add members? Our business users would be manually creating some members, or for instance change the start or end month of a 'Scenario'. So, does BPMA allow manual editing and pushing of meta-data?
2. If an application is created via BPMA, they would have to interface via BPMA and not Planning Classic anymore. Is that true?
3. I understand it is possible to convert a Planning Classic application into BPMA but "NOT" vice versa. Is this true?
4. Finally, a more difficult question, a more specific question which kinda of dictates the choice for us.
My client would like individual departments do their respective budgeting (noting unusual there). However, most of these departments budget per 'Project' and more specifically like to budget based on 'Project Name' (which are unique and not generic) as opposed to 'Project Numbers' (there isnt a Project number standardization as such yet). The challenge is getting the 'Project Names' into Hyperion Planning (sadly it doesnt exist in ERP/GL yet because these are new projects).
So, though the Finance Team ultimately approves each department's budget, they would like each department be able to create their respective 'Project Names' in Hyperion Planning. And Planning capabilities like supporting detail, etc wouldnt work as they would like variance based on 'Project Names' and be able to slice-n-dice based on 'Project Names'.
Now if we had an ETL tool the above would have been simple, I would have just created an automation to say pick-up a file with 'Project Names' from a pre-determined folder location. However, because we donot have an ETL, I was wondering if BPMA could do the same, i.e., automatically pick-up a file from a folder and create members and refresh Hyperion Planning? Could the 'Batch Processing' in BPMA handle this?
Appreciate all your responses...

Hi,
First of all I wouldn't recommend using EPMA until version 11, 9.3.1 was riddled with issues.
To try and answer some of your questions
1. You can manually maintain members in EPMA if you choose to do so, you need to push it down to planning/essbase if you do make changes.
2. If the planning app is in EPMA mode then you can't edit/add/delete member information through the classic route, you can view. You still can design forms, task lists etc through planning web.
3. It is possible but no you are not meant to.
Sounds like you could do with ODI it would make your life easier, are you sure you are not licensed to use it, you may be entitled to use it.
Cheers

Create and Populate a Hyperion Planning Cube using Hyperion Data Integratio

Friends,
I am new to Essbase and have worked extensively in Informatica. Hyperion DIM (OEM version of Informatica) is chosen to create and populate a Hyperion Planning System (with Essbase cube in the backend).
I am using Hyperion DIM 9.3.
Can someone let me know (or share a document) how I can do the following
1) Create a Planning application with a Essbase Cube in the backend using Hyperion Data Integration Management
2) How to populate the Essbase outline and the actuals Essbase cube with data using DIM.
Thanks a lot for all help.

Hi,
You cannot create planning applications using DIM.
To load metadata have a look at :- http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hyp_fp/DIM_Planning/OBE_Dim_Planning.html
You can refresh planning database in DIM by
To enable the Refresh Database property for a session:
In Workflow Manager, right-click the session and select Edit.
Click the Mapping tab.
Select a Planning target.
Check the Refresh Database box.
Ok?
Cheers
John
