Defining variables in the Calculation Manager

Hi all,
I'd like to use the Calculation Manager (properly, for the first time).
I'd like to define all my variables in the Variable Designer.
If a create a boolean variable "bIsBaseEntity" (thus, I want to select all the base members in the entity hierarchy), I have a simple question: what's the difference between the scope setting: "Ruleset" or "Rule"?
Let's say I want to use this variable in all the different rule components (e.g., Calculate, Consolidate, Generic).
What's the correct setting for this?
Thanks!

If the execution variable has a ruleset scope, it is passed from one business rule to another business rule within the same ruleset. If the variable has a rule scope, it may be used only in the business rule for which it is created and is not passed to another business rule and are not passed as parameters.

Unable to find the calculation manager option in menu

Hi All,
I configured calculation manager in my machine [version: 11.1.2]. I am unable to find the calulation manager option in the menu[Navigate->Administer->calculation manager].
calculation manager is up and running . Kindly guide me to overcome it.
Thanks and Regards

If calc manager was installed after the web configuration, re-run the web comfiguration step. You may also need to cycle the OHS service on foundation afterwards.

How to get the tag of the User Defined Variables using the Get Tag method%3F

For the cRIO modules under a cRIO Chasis, a tag value can be obtained using the Get Tag method with crio.Type to the TagName input of the method. When it comes to the User Defined Variables, what should be fed to the TagName input?

Problem in picking the system variable value in Calculation Script

Hi All,
We are using a Calculation Script to perform data export. And the target location where to crete the exported output file is given to the environment system variable.
Now I am using this system variable in the calculation script as below:
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
DataExportLevel "ALL";
DataExportOverwriteFile ON;
Fix ( &CurrMiles, &CurrProj, &CurrVer,"No Project","No Version")
DATAEXPORT "File" " " $DEXPORTPATH;
ENDFIX
Here "DEXPORTPATH" is the system variable
I am creating this system variable from the batch script and the system variable value varies at the runtime.
This calculation script works fine for first time and it picks the correct value from the system variable.
But the problem occurs from next execution of calc script. Even if i update the system variable with other value, it picks only the last execution system variable value and it performs execution.
Eg: Suppose for first execution system variable value is "D:\Bkup\PMV.txt"
The calc script works fine with this.
For next execution, system variable value is changed to "D:\Time\temp.txt"
Now the calc script picks the system variable value as "D:\Bkup\PMV.txt"
and performs execution which is wrong.
Please help me on this issue how to handle system variables in calc scripts.
Thanks in advance

SwathiAs of my knowledge system variables will not update immediately...you need to log off the session after changing the value.
Update the system variable..
Log off from the session..
And Re-login with the same username ....and check...

Using user defined variables in SAP BPC 7.0 NW

Hi,
I am using BPC 7.0 SP2 NW version. I want to do some calculatioins and/or comparision in the script logic by using user defined variables.
For Ex: I want to assign the property TIMEID of TIME dimension to a variable and then use this variable in my IIF statement.
I have tried a lot but not getting any solution.
Can anyone guide me in how to use user defined variables in Script Logic.
Your valuable reply is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Manoj Damle

Hi,
Thanks for the valuable reply.
But i want to define variables in the Script Logic and not in the Data Manager.
The scenario is like this:
I want to check the value of the DUMMYACC1 member of GL_ACCOUNT dimension with a constant and depending on the condition i want to update a user defined variable. This variable will further be used in the *SELECTCASE statement for decision making.
The Code is as follows:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET COMP_CODE = COMP_CODE_1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET BUS_AREA = BUS_AREA_1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET VERSION = VERSION_1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CURRENCY = AUD
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC = DATASOURCE_1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET GL_ACCOUNT = SALESREVENUE,PRICE,QUANTITY,DUMMYACC1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=2009.MAY,2009.JUN
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CUSTOMERCATEGORY = CUSTOMER_CAT_1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PROFIT_CTR = PROFIT_CTR_1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET SEGMENT = SEGMENT1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET MEASURES = PERIODIC
*FUNCTION PRO(%VAR1%,%VAR2%)
    [%VAR1%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("%VAR2%")
*ENDFUNCTION
*FOR %GL_ACC% = DUMMYACC1
    *FOR %CV_TIM% = 2009.MAY,2009.JUN
        #CUR_MTH = IIF(([GL_ACCOUNT].[%GL_ACC%],[TIME][%CV_TIM%]) = 1.,1,NULL)
    *NEXT
*NEXT
*SELECTCASE #CUR_MTH
*CASE 1
    #CURRENTMTH = PRO(TIME,TIMEID)
*ENDSELECT
The errors which system gives is:
1. Duplicate formula found
2. Invalid MDX statement
3. #CUR_MTH & #CURRENTMTH is not a valid member
Please give your valuable suggestion.
Thanks and Regards

Using variables in a calculation function in Diadem script

Hey guys,
I'm new to working with Diadem Scripts. I have tried the two different ways below to make the values of a channel equal to the results of a formula containing created variables. I can do it if the formula contains values in place of the variables using the calculator method. I would appreciate any guidance on how to correct the syntax in the below scripts.
Option Explicit 'Forces the explicit declaration of all the variables in a script.
dim a, b, c
a = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef1").Value
b = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef2").Value
c = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef3").Value
Ch ("[2]/ROP (ft/hr)") = a + b* Ch("[2]/Backhead Pressure (psi)") + c* Ch("[2]/Backhead Pressure (psi)")^2
Or
Option Explicit 'Forces the explicit declaration of all the variables in a script.
dim a, b, c
a = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef1").Value
b = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef2").Value
c = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef3").Value
call ChnCalculate("Ch(""[2]/ROP (ft/hr)"")="&a+&b"*Ch(""[2]/Backhead Pressure (psi)"")+"&c"*Ch(""[2]/Backhead Pressure (psi)"")^2")

I think you need to use channel name strings of the format "Group Name/Channel Name" in your ChnCalculate function. I usually use a formula, a symbol array, and a value array to get this done:
Dim a, b ,c, sFormula, aSymbols, aValues
Redim aSymbols(6), aValues(6)
aSymbols(0) = "a"
aSymbols(1) = "b"
aSymbols(2) = "c"
aSymbols(3) = "A"
aSymbols(4) = "B"
aValues(0) = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef1").Va
lue
aValues(1) = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef2").Value
aValues(2) = Data.Root.ChannelGroups(2).Channels("rop regression formula").Properties("ResultNonLinearFitCoef3").Value
aValues(3) = Data.Root.ChannelGroiups(2).Channels("ROP (ft/hr)").GetReference('ref type')
aValues(4) = Data.Root.ChannelGroiups(2).Channels("Backhead Pressure (psi)").GetReference('ref type')
sFormula = "Ch(A) = a + b*Ch(B) + c*(Ch(B))^2"
Call ChnCalculate(sFormula,aSymbols,aValues)

Application not appearing in Calculation Manager

Dear All,
I have created a new application on test environment, but it is not visible in Calculation Manager.
Checked the application process, its the same i use to create applications previously.
I have done the same for creating applications on multiple times with no issues. Any thoughts what can go wrong
Note: A few days back the Calculation Manager stopped responding when we try to open the calculation manager through workspace we raised an Sr, Oracle support suggested to re-deploy the
calculation manager configuration with database schema and increased the jvm xms size from Operating System Registry for calculation manager.
Regards
Ace

Deployed with Default Application Group, And For Rules its deployed with calculation manager,
we have done these all steps, but when we open calc manager to import business rules in new created application, it doesn't show us our new created application.
While Planning shows newly created application.

Planning application is not visible in calculation manager

Hi,
I'm novice to EPMA.
I have successfully created and deployed an EPMA application,but when i'm unable to see the application(s) under planning node.
As per my knowledge EPMA application by default deployes in calculation manager,if so why the application is not visible.
any suggestions on this r helpful to me
thanks

The issue is resolved now.
The calculation manager service was set to automatic, set it back to manual and restarted calculation manager service.
It showed the application in calc manager.

Sequence Quiz Using User Defined Variables - Can See Underlying Variable Name On Move

I have just tested using 1 slide to capture several user defined variables and the next slide to insert those variables as options in a sequence quiz slide.
This works but as soon as I grab an object to begin sequencing them the underlying variable name shows up alongside the variable content.
Am wondering if I am attempting something that shouldn't be possible in Captivate and / or if there is a fix?
Thanks

Sure, I'm using Captivate 8. On a test project I've created:
a slide with 2 text entry boxes, their contents are stored in variables
another slide with a sequence question (using the native captivate question slide)
The labels on the 2 sliders on the question slide use the variables from the previous slide.
This works, so if the variables are as follows:
$$data_sequence1$$ - "blah blah blah"
$$data_sequence2$$ - "blah"
The labels on the sliders on the sequence question will be "blah blah blah" and "blah". as intended.
The issue is when I click one of the sliders to drag it to sequence the variable name will flash up on screen. So if I touch the slider with the label "blah blah blah" $$data_sequence1$$ will flash up on screen.
I have other slides on there but these are the two related to this question. I haven't fully published the project I've previewed it.

Is there any way to know that status of DEFINE variable?

Hi,
I have a list of scripts that is executed to create my baseline database. At the beginning of the script execution, we have a SET DEFINE OFF and at the end we put SET DEFINE ON. During one of the scripts, we deliberately SET DEFINE ON and we forgot to SET DEFINE OFF at the end of the script. Consequently, the following scripts started failing without error notification because they contained '&' in the INSERT query. I have the following queries:
1. Is there any way to know the status of the DEFINE variable at the beginning of the script?
2. Since the oracle gives a user interrupted error, the script execution process does not terminate with error. Instead, it continues executing the next scripts. Is there a general way to capture such errors and terminate the script execution. We already have WHENEVER SQLERROR and WHENEVER OSERROR in our script execution process.

Kunal

SHOW DEFINEtells you if DEFINE is ON or OFF.
If DEFINE is ON, it will produce something like:
define "&" (hex 26)If DEFINE is OFF, it will produce
define OFF
2. Since the oracle gives a user interrupted error, the script execution process does not terminate with error. Instead, it continues executing the next scripts. Is there a general way to capture such errors and terminate the script execution. We already have WHENEVER SQLERROR and WHENEVER OSERROR in our script execution process.Do you really need to capture those errors? Why not just prevent them? It sounds like you want to make sure DEFINE is OFF at a certain point. To do that, just say
SET DEFINE OFFRegardless of whether DEFINE was ON or OFF before you issue that command, you can be sure it will be OFF after that.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a complete test script (or set of scripts) that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
Point out where the scripts you post are not doing what you want, and describe, with specific examples, what you want it to do in those places.

Business rules and calculation manager

Hi ,
Could anyone pls tell me the difference between the calculation manager and business rules?

Calculation manager is a web component that is designed to manage business rules from a web interface. It is enabled to build calculations also using a graphic interface, although this mode is more suitable for simple calculations than for complex ones. Calculation manager allows you also to use complex templates that you can customize with prompts in order to adapt them to each rule without being force to change the code. Basically it is an evolution of the essbase business rules macro function. Once a business rule is created it has to be deployed in order to be used with planning applications. The deploy activity copies the rule on the database, both in the calculation manager tables in and the planning tables.
Business rules are instead essbase artifacts. They aren't available any more from version 11.1.2.2 on.
In versions older than the 11.1.2.2 you were forced to use calculation manager for epma applications, while essbase business rules were used in classic applications. In terms of calculations there is no difference between the two technologies, they behave exactly in the same way. There is only a small difference in the prompts syntax, {} in calculation manager and [] in essbase business rules.
Although i find the calculation manager web editor quite slow and imprecise to use, I anyway advice to use it in order to make eventual release upgrades easier.

Setting a user defined variable at topic level?

RH8 HTML
I want 2 topics to use the same snippet, in this snippet are several variables, and I want to set these variables at the topic level. Because these topics carry the same information, accept for some very minor thing, i.e button names and a screenshot. So I want to single source as best I can.
Though I cant find anyway to set a user defined variable at the topic level.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi Nick
Well, hoping I don't add any fuel to the fire here, but...
Version 8 isn't really version 8. Logically, it's version 16! And that probably surprises you. Maybe even frustrates you! But there's even another twist here. From the Adobe perspective, it's version 3. Adobe acquired Macromedia. At the time, RoboHelp was at version X5. Logically version 13. So seeing the "5" in there, Adobe naturally assumed 6 would seem logical I suppose.
On the Snippet variable thing, I'm thinking you might be able to work around it a smidge by using a bit of JavaScript magick. Define the variable in the Topic using JavaScript and insert some script in the Snippet to dynamically write in the variable content found in the topic.
Aside from that, probably the best we can all do here is to exercise using the Wish Form to ask for these features.
Cheers... Rick

Find and Replace with User Defined Variable

I am in the process of converting some legacy help content to RoboHelp HTML 9 in order to give it some more features and customization for our clients. I have been taking advantage of User Defined Variables in order to customize the content. Up to this point I have been manually going through each topic and replacing each instance of a word ("statements" for example) with a user defined variable saying the same thing but with the possibility of being changed later should the customer want to. Though we only have about 200 topics, this is still relatively time-consuming and I would like to automate this as much as possible.
Is there any way to find and replace content with a User Defined Variable?

Hi there
If you open the Script Explorer pod I believe one of the sample scripts is a "UDV Converter" script. Perhaps you could give that a try.

Can I get multiple User-defined variables in one slide?

I have used the user defined variables in the past to collect identifiying information on quiz results, as well as for quiz certificate. I would like to re-use the variables in a couple of areas. in my project, one slide will prompt the User Name (variable I created), second will prompt for User ID (variable I created). I would like a third screen that reads "Confirm your previous entries", and I want it to show the two variables. I am only seeing the first one. Is there a way to get them both to display?
I would also like to re-use both in the quiz certificate at the end. If I edit the certificate widget in Flash, will both variable display?
This quiz reports to me via email (we have no LMS).
Any suggestions?
Cyndi Nagel

Hi again
Did you shrink the screen shot before uploading? You're right. It's barely legible.
If the variables are being inserted in more than one caption, have you double checked the timing? Perhaps something is pausing the slide before one of the captions has a chance to appear.
