Custom dimension change

Hi guys,
I have a dimension of 100 000 elements. The client asks to have a possibility to change properties of some elements. Without accessing Admin Console and waiting for hours until the end of the reprocess.
So, I developed a package that updates the dimension.
What I do is:
1) updating mbr
2) updating dim
3) updating Excel file
4) updating .DIM file
5) updating admin_cache.zip
6) incrementing the versions in the tblDefaults
7) dimension process (and also full application process to be sure)
When I update the versions BPC for Excel does not manage to download the dimension and I end up with BPC working with an empty dimension (BPC gives this error: DimensionInformation::LoadMemberCache => {Subscript out of range})
When I don't update the version, BPC does not update the APPINFO.ZIP in my user's PrivatePublications and thus downloads an old dimension cache.
My question is how to make a custom update of the dimension and make it work correctly. What is missing in my afore mentioned flow?
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Valeriy Shylin

Hi,
thanks for your suggestions.
I managed to discover the problem, though, there is still no solution.
It seems that the standard SSIS way of generating the text file <dimension>.DIM is not liked by BPC.
Indeed, when I generate the .DIM, BPC for Excel goes in error on showing the dimension elements. Consequently, BPC thinks that the dimension is completely empty.
When I simply make the modifications in the .DIM file by means of Notepad everything works perfectly well.
As of now the only difference between the BPC generated .DIM file and my .DIM file that I managed to discover is the BOM mark at the beginning of the BPC generated file.
So I tried to update the SSIS package to force the insert of the BOM mark to my .DIM file too. Unfortunately, BPC for Excel continues to go in error.
Therefore, I can confirm that the general procedure of updating the dimension is correct, the only problem to solve is the way to generate the .DIM file.
I'll give feedbacks as soon as I manage to overcome this problem.

Large Custom Dimension

We have a requirement to have an application with forecasts performed at supplier level (in conjunction with accounts). I know that the question of how big can a dimension be is not a straight forward one and depends on several factors. However, I am having to answer it for a client and would like to ensure that I have the right starting point.
My initial view was that a custom dimension of 18,000 (eventual) members is, in itself, not a great design approach. But, budgets and forecasts will be managed at this level of detail (by supplier), so I need to find a way to do it without ending up with a badly performing beast. WFP apps often have large employee dimensions, so I am thinking that (with everything else designed simply and optimally and adequate hardware being in place), maybe we can have a very large custom dimension and not have to endure massive performance issues?
My first question then is, is it achieveable to have such a big, custom, sparse dimension? Has anyone else done this (maybe with a large employee dimension in an WFP app)?
What major issues should I be concerned about? To some extent, I feel that I need to design and build the app to fully know what the issues and performance will be. But, before launching into that and failing due to size, I am hoping that someone here can give me some words of encouragement that it isn't outside of the realms of possibility to manage a very large dim.

Thanks Alp.
I have quite a few Planning implementations behind me, but this is the first time I have needed to go down the route of creating such a large sparse dimension, so your advice is very helpful and comforting!
The "how big" can x be with Hyperion is often an essential and flaky question generally with an even flakier answer. There are obviously many factors involved, but all the same is something that crops up from time to time, so I appreciate your response. Many thanks!
Absolutely, we will be managing this meta-data within it's own database and summarising to the main app. I will also have a think about th move to a single dense dimension and will do some calcs for block size. I assume that you mean to possibly change account and period from dense to sparse and make the custom dimension dense?

Calculating Average across 3 custom dimensions

Hi,
How can we calculate across 3 custom dimensions Entity , Product and Customer ?
I have set the account to TBAvg so that it gives me an average against time dimension.
The below formula works fine to calculate average across Customer dimension but how should I change it to incorporate Entity and Product dimension.
@AVGRANGE(SKIPMISSING,"Margin Percent",@CHILDREN(@CURRMBR("Customer")));
Thanks,
SK

Hello,
what about @MINSRANGE ?
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/minsrange.html
Inventory_MIN = @MINSRANGE(SKIPBOTH, "Inventory" , @LIST("config1","config2","config3"))
should give the result,
if you FIX @RELATIVE("Part",-1) to grab level 1 members.
and you can extend expression something like
Inventory_MIN = @MINSRANGE(SKIPBOTH, Inventory , @CHILDREN(@CURRMBR("Part")))
Hope it helps,
Ahmet

Error while running Webi report that uses Custom Dimension object(SAP BW)

Hi,
I have a universe that is based on SAP BW.I have created a custom dimension object that displays the maximum date.
The object syntax is
<expression>Max(@Select(CPS Online\Calendar day))</expression>
The object parses successfully.
The object 'Calendar Day ' is a defaultobject created during universe creation from the BW query.It is defined as [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]
I tried to create a Webi report using this object and a measure .On running the query it throws the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22] AS ' Max{[0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]} ' SELECT { [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22], [Measures].[4JCOSFOKKCUR3RMBPNROFKQQD] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS DIMENSION PROPERTIES [0CALDAY].[20CALDAY] ON ROWS FROM [ZCCPSONL/ZCPSONLINE] failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with (. (WIS 10901)
I have tried every possible syntax I could think of but I keep getting this error each time.I have set the object type to Number (even though it is actually a Date), I have tried writing the MDX inside the Max instead of the @select , but nothing seems to work.Could anyone please let me know why this error is occuring?Is there anything wrong with the syntax or is there any setting in Webi needed before a custom dimension object can be used on it.

Can you see data for Custom object @ BEx level??
YES, then just try to re-create the same variable and Save the BW query.
Now do View - refresh Strusture @ Universe. And you can see Filter for the same, just Parse it, just whether it is OK or not.
OK -- then Export the Universe and create WebI reports, this will come as Prompt.
Hope it will helps you.
Thank You!!

When I move a shape or text in Photoshop, the dimensions/size changes. How do I fix this? ex) moved a 20px x 40px rectangle, and rectangle's dimensions changed to 20px x 40.16px.

When I move a shape or text in Photoshop, the dimensions/size changes. How do I fix this?
It's always a decimal point too.
ex 1) moved a 20px x 40px rectangle, and rectangle's dimensions changed to 20px x 40.16px.
ex 2) moved a 124pt text to the right (Shift + arrow right a few times) and text changed to 14.06pt.

Customer Recon Change(FX impact) @ the time of F101.

Hi Gurus,
I had a query regarding change of Customer's recon account and the impact of FX .
After checking few threads i found that through Tcode:- F101 the amount from old recon account will be reclassed to a new GL account(Adjustment GL) and after closing again it will be reversed.The same process will continue till collection of payment aginst those old items(old recon balance).
The amounts are getting reclass from old recon to new gl (Adjustment gl)by taking the fx value which is creating problem.The user needs to transfer only the closing balance(open items) at the month end without taking the FX impact.
Please suggest what is the exact process to proceed in the above situation.
Secondly i request a tutorial for the process of "Vendor/Customer" recon change process from starting to end.
Points will be rewarded.
Regards,
Ramakanta

Dear expert
use this t: code T.Code: FAGLF101
or try below
1. Go to FS00 -Enter the Recon accounts (Old and New) and tick the field "Ready For Input"
2. Assign the New Recon account against the Old recon account
IMG > FI > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business Transactions > Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account > Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts....
3. Now make a transfer posting from F-02, Dr and Cr the same customer... In the Dr Line item, change the Recon account and in the Cr Line item, do not change the same

Roll up hierarchie in custom dimension

Hello,
I'm trying to add the cost of materials so the node member could collect the total cost of the group.
I have a dimension P_Material where materials are organized in groups by hierarchie:
ID         Descr                              PARENTH1
matA    Materials class A
0001     xudud                             matA
0002     yszysy                           matA
Every material has a cost, represented by a member in a custom dimension P_Ratio.
The problem is, once I have the cost of every material in the group, I don't get the subtotal cost rolled up.
I made a BEX query and I got the subtotals but with a BPC report it seems to have no data.
Could you please help me with this issue? give me some ideas?
Thank you!

Custom Net Change Booking Report

Friends,
I am in the process of creating a Custom Net Change Booking Report.
The Report should show the changes that affect the sale order Bookings.
The Audit history capture the changes but it stores two lines for each change.
Main Constrains are:-
* Order Lines getting splitted should not be consider since it will not affect the total quantity.
* Qty Change, price adjustment and the New lines created to the sales order should be considered.
Following is the query i tried.
The main issue in the query is if an order line is getting changed for qty and price at the same time it is not showing the changes correctly.
Any help is appreciated.

Can We generate Check report based on Custom Dimension in FDM

Hi All,
We got a requirement in our project to generate the check report based on custom dimension. As far as i know the check reports that got generated in FDM are based on Entity Dimension.
So, will you please let me know whether it is possible to generate report based on any one of the custom dimension.
Thanks.

I guess I am not understanding the question here?
The check report is based on the location/entity that you are running the report for. You can pull values for a specific intersection in the target application with the check report, so you could specify the custom dim in the intersection.

How to force updatedisplaylist in a skin when custom property changes

Hi Folks,
I have created a custom component based on a Spark Button. In that custom component I have added a single, public, bindable property - let's call it Fred.
I also have a custom skin, based on the Spark Button skin. It's basically just like the delivered skin, just a bit different graphics stuff. I have applied the custom skin to the custom button component. So far, so good. However...
When a user action causes the Fred property to change on a custom button instance, I need my custom skin to re-draw something. It appears that I need the skin's updateDisplayList function to fire. Unfortunately, it appears that the only time that it fires is when "real" properties are changed, like 'left' or 'width'. How can I get the custom skin to updateDisplayList when this fake, custom property changes?
p.s. - the custom skin can 'read' the custom Fred property just fine. And, if I set the Fred property and then 'mouse over' the custom button instance, the updateDisplayList fires...too late of course, but it does fire.
I have read the docs, but there is not much written about updateDisplayList, or when it fires, or how to make it fire.
Thanks,
-David

Good question...in my skin's 'creationComplete' event I call a function in the skin. That function 'evaluates' the host component's Fred propertey, and based on what it finds, it draws some stuff:
protected function doSpecialDrawing():void
     var hostFred:String = hostComponent.Fred;
     if (hostFred == "certain_value")
          //set some property in one of the path objects in my skin to a certain value
     else if (hostFred == "other_value")
          //set some property in one of the path objects in my skin to some other value
When I created the skin, I did not anticipate the need to dynamically respond to setting the Fred property/value.
I've placed a call to the 'doSpecialDrawing' function inside the skin's updateDisplayList, but unfortunately, the updateDisplayList does not seem to get called in real-time when I set the Fred property in a custom button instance.
I'm all ears here... still a beginner/novice with Flex...
Thanks,
-David
