Data Forms segments - hide , unhide - automation

Hi,
Is it possible to automatically, hide and unhide segments in data forms (maxl?).
Thank you very much
lubos

Hi,
Maxl scripting relates to essbase and not planning.
Are you saying to want to run a script to change the properties of a web form, the answer I would say not really.
Yes you can import form definitions in by command line but you would have to keep updating the xml of the form.
Cheers

Hide dimension in data form also hide the data

Hi all,
It might sound simple, but i still could not found a workaround for this problem.
so here is the problem:
1. example i have dimension lineItem with member line1, line2, line3
FY13
Jan | Feb | ...
line1 | 1 | 1
line2 | 2 | 2
line3 | 3 | 3
2. i want to hide the line information so i choose to hide dimension for dimension LineItem. but instead hiding the dimension, it hide all the row (so no data shown).
3. i try to hide dimension that is used as column but everything is fine as the following:
FY13
line1 | 1 | 1
line2 | 2 | 2
line3 | 3 | 3
Anyone have this experience or method about how to hide dimension in row but still keep the data?
(i'm using hyperion 11.1.2.2)
Best Regards,
Feri

Hi SM,
Thank you for your help, actually i have another dimension in row as the following:
FY13
Jan | Feb | ...
new sales | product A l line1 | 1 | 1
l line2 | 2 | 2
l line3 | 3 | 3
i already test it again and i get the following result:
1. if i only have 2 dimension in row: product and LineItem (hidden) i get the following:
FY13
Jan | Feb | ...
product A | 1 | 1
product A | 2 | 2
product A | 3 | 3
(it work fine)
2. if i have 3 or more dimensions in row, i get the following:
FY13
Jan | Feb | ...
new sales | product A | 1 | 1
(it only show one row which is the line1, it seems like it cannot handle if we put more dimensions)

HBR sequence on data form does not execute when Planning data form is saved

Has anyone experienced this issue before in Planning? Below I have included the scenario and what has been attempted to correct the situation.
We are using Hyperion Planning/Essbase 9.3.1, sequence contains 3 business rules - 2 executed on the Workforce Cube and 1 transfers totals from Workforce Cube to Main cube. 2 of the BR's contain run-time prompts - 1st BR in the sequence (calculation in Workforce) and 3rd BR in the sequence (transfer of Workforce totals to Main). We are using Projects to assign access priviledges to the BR's and sequences. All 3 business rules, as well as the sequence itself, validate successfully in the admin services console.
In Planning the data form contains BR Properties to "Save on Exit", "Use members on data form" and "Hide prompt". Have tried removing BR from data form, then put BR back on data form. Also tried building a new sequence in EAS console and attaching that BR to the existing data form. Neither of these attempts were successful. Tried building an entirely new data form with the newly created sequence, still unsuccessful. Was able to execute the sequence successfully when processed from the Tools -> Business Rules menu. Sequence was once again successful when I tried modifying the data form to remove property "Hide prompt". Problem with leaving the form in that state is, our users would not know which Planning server they were on as they access the Planning application through Workspace and we currently have 2 application servers in this environment - so essentially they have a 50/50 chance of selecting the correct server.
We have this same setup in another environment where the execution of the sequence on the data form works successfully. We have compared everything that I can think of and it all appears the same in both environments - in fact this used to be successful in this environment, but all of a sudden stopped working earlier this year - we have not applied any patches or upgrades to either environment. Do not know if this is relevant or not, but we do currently utilize Netscaler in both of these environments.
Any experiences with this type of situation or suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have a solution for you but more steps to solve the problem
You are ultimately on the right track in some ways but break it down into it's components.
The problem could like in the business rule, the form connection, the variables, even the order of operations could all be in play.
So I would strip this baby down to its bare bones then build it back up.
1) Run the business rule. Each one separately and only after the previous ones is complete without variables and without touching the form
Is it successful: go to 2
If it isn't successful: trouble shoot the calc and or try running in EAS natively to see if that gives you ideas
2) Run the calc outside the form but with variables included. Did it prompt you correctly.
Is it successful: go to 3
If it isn't. What is wrong with the variable
3) Now attach it to the form but don't hide the prompts
Still good go to 4
4) hide the prompts and run on save
And if it fails on step four then it's not picking up the right variables in the prompt. And you need to look at why it wouldn't grab the right item.
This will isolate your problem for you and give you steps to fix it. Ultimately 99% of the time something did change in the structure for example that is impacting the calc. And when you isolate the problem this will reveal itself quite quickly.

Hide/Unhide Button on a Custom Form?

Hello! I am looking for some ideas regarding the ability to hide/unhide a button on a custom form. Ideally, I would like to create an authorization group, if a user is a member of the authorization group, they can see the button, if not, the button is hidden. Is this something that can be done? If not, does anyone have another way of doing this? Thank you.

Are you asking specifically for Smartforms, SAPforms, Interactive Adobe forms? Or generally about UI programming?
Generally yes, this is possible and is also often done to give the user a more friendly interface to work with (without having to click on buttons, only to discover that they cannot use it anyway).
Many standard transactions are developed in this way.
Cheers,
Julius

Hide run-time prompt in composite data form in 11.1.2

Hi, I am using Planning 11.1.2, and the rule with run-time prompt I attached to a composite data from can't execute successfully when I selected "Hide Prompt" and "Use Members on data form". It says "An error occurred while attempting to run the following business rule on save". But if I set this rule to be run on save in a single data form, not a composite one, the rule could be run successfully. Is this a bug or does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you.
Regards,
Jerry

Hi, I had the same problem and I did a Service Request to Oracle. This is a bug. Unfortunatly, I do not think there is a solution to fix this problem.
The 11.1.2.1 version fixes this bug.

Data forms new requirement, Members need to hide for diff combination

Hi All,
I have a new requirement
I have created asymmetric forms and created a extra member in period dimension as per required.(Extra member name is ABC)
In layout page view i have given scenario dimension with members called budget,Actual,Forecast.
now when open data form combination to budget scenario Extra member has to appear,
if you select Forecast Extra members should not appear in the form.
am in mess how to achieve this requirement can any one help me out in acheiving this requirement.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sm

Hi,
Assuming you have accounts on the rows and periods on the columns, try this solution:
Create two account members called RowSuppresser (store) and RowSuppresserDyn (dynamic). Retrieve RowSuppresser in Excel combined with ABC (period) and Budget (scenario) along with one default member from all other dimension (i.e. no entity, no year etc). input a flag amount (0 or 1) and lock and send to Essbase. Member formula in RowSuppresserDyn should point to this particular input (i.e. RowSuppresser->"No Year"->"No Entity" etc.
Add a row on top of all other rows in your form and select (RowSuppresserDyn) account member. You can even hide this row if you wish. In the column where you added ABC period, enable suppress missing data. So when Budget is selected, this column appears, otherwise is gone.

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.

How to Dynamically Hide-Unhide Report Details

Is there a technique to hide/unhide data?
I am creating a report that summarizes transaction data. The users want the opportunity to review the details behind the summary as the report is being reviewed.
Is there a way to hide the detail data while providing a mechanism for the reviewer to view the detail as desired?
TIA

I have implemented this in BI Publisher enterprise and using the desktop version and I don't get this error..
I did come across another thread that discusses this error. R12: Namespace prefix 'dhtml' used but not declared.
Not sure if that addresses your setup and issue.. You can send me your template to [email protected] if you would like me to take a look.
Thanks!

Collection Data Form in invisible mode.

Hi,
We are using zcm 10.3 installed on SLES 11. Our clients are XP SP3. I have configured a collection data form with autofill and checked "Invisible mode for autofill only" In the autofill settings I have entered a environment variable. I have configured a Collection data form schedule to run "When a device is refreshed". The collection data form never pick up the environment variable value when running a refresh. When I right click on the ZenWorks notify icon and choose "Collection data form" the environment variable value configured in autofill is picked up.
Autofill worked well when refreshing a device in zcm 10.2.2.
Does anybody know if this is a known "bug"?

Order Planning data form by column value

Hi,
i have a big problem for sort the dataform with the value of a column.
I need to sort the rows in the data form using the value of a column. Today you can do it with the right mouse option, but I need this on load of dataform.
With javascript is possibile? I do not know javascript, can someone describe the methods to be used or has a code example.
thanks

Hi,
I've come across similar requirements in the past. The way I'd handle is to change the dimension structure slightly for it to cater for the requirement.
Your current structure must be like below:
+Activity 1
---Sub Activity 1.1
---Sub Activity 1.2
+Activity 2
---Sub Activity 2.1
---Sub Activity 2.2
What you might think of converting this to could be like below:
+Activity 1
---Activity 1.0
---Sub Activity 1.1
---Sub Activity 1.2
+Activity 2
---Activity 2.0
---Sub Activity 2.1
---Sub Activity 2.2
By this way as both activity and sub activity remains at level 0, you will not need to fiddle around the target version. Plus you can still rely on suppressing missing data if there is a requirement to hide sub activities in certain accounts but show only activities. Another advantage of this is that it allows inputting data to both activity and sub activity without worrying about data override.

Alp

Dynamically hide/unhide elements?

Hello
I have generated dynamic controls on form through XML, now I want to hide/unhide the elements based on click of particular item.
Also i have added the click event on the desired elements and trying the following in function
this["sampleElementID"].visible = false;( in sampleElementid i am passing the id of the element which needs to be hidden)
Is there is any method like document.getElementbyId in action script???
( also tried get getChildByName("sampleElementID").visible = false; but it does not work)
Help needed....
Thank in advance!

Hi Vibhor Seth,
please find the working code below:
    var sampleForm:Form = new Form();
    var sampleFormItem:FormItem = new FormItem();
    var sampleTextInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
    sampleTextInput.id="smpleTxtIpt";
    sampleTextInput.name="smpleTxtIpt";
    sampleTextInput.text = "sample Text Input";
    sampleFormItem.addElement(sampleTextInput);
    //adding in form
    sampleForm.addElement(sampleFormItem);
    addElement(sampleForm);
    sampleFormItem.getChildByName("smpleTxtIpt").visible = false;
In the code you have posted you have used different names for id and name....Try to use the same names for both id and name ...however it is not compulsory...but its good practice...
Also you have used sampleForm.getChildByName("smpleTxtIntName").visible = false; But you should be using the below line of code:
sampleFormItem.getChildByName("smpleTxtIpt").visible = false;
In your code you are trying to use the getChildByName() method on the Form tag but you should be using on the FormItem container.
Note: Remember you can access the child elements by using the getChildByName() only for the elements which are direct childs of a container but not the from the parent of parent container.
So by the AS code you created the following structure is created:
<mx:Form id="sampleForm">
     <mx:FormItem id="sampleFormItem">
          <mx:TextInput id="smpleTxtIpt" name="smpleTxtIpt" />
     </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
So if you want to make TextInput visible false..then you need to use ..... sampleFormItem.getChildByName("smpleTxtIpt").visible = false;
but not sampleForm.getChildByName("smpleTxtIpt").visible = false; since smpleTxtIpt is direct child of sampleFormItem.
Hope now things are clear for you...
If this post answers your question or helps, please kindly mark it as such.
Thanks,
Bhasker Chari
