Difference between UDA & User-Defined Dimension

Hi all,
I need to know what the difference between UDA and User-Defined Dimension and when can i use each one??
thanks in advance

UDAs are descriptive words that you can use to categories members of a dimension.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/uda_tab.html
Using UDA, For ex: in Customer Dim you can divide customers into CAT A, B or C and then can use these UDAs in calc scripts, query them later in reports etc.
User defined Dimension: Is any new dimension that you add to planning application apart from default ones.

Difference between two user & single user Apps 11i install

What is the difference between TWO user and single user Oracle Apps 11i install.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of these two.
Thanks

You'll need to switch between oracle homes, if you
plan to use single username.And need to source the proper environment file
I prefer having 2 different accounts, especially on
linux/unix, where user privileges are well defined.Agree

Maximum number of User defined dimensions in Planning v11.1.2

Hi guys,
I am new to Hyperion Planning version 11.1.2, just wanted to clarify what is the maximum number of User defined dimensions that can be added in a planning application.
I've also learnt that the number of Alias tables is more than the previous versions. What is the maximum number of Alias tables in Planning version 11.1.2 ?
Regards.

Maximum number of alias tables is 10 including the default alias table
As for custom dimensions then I wouldn't expect you to hit a maximum unless you want to design a planning application destined to fail.
Cheers

Difference between Data staging and Dimension Table ?

Difference between Data staging and Dimension Table ?

Data Staging:
Data extraction and transformation is done here.
Meaning that, if we have source data in flat file, we extract it and load into staging tables, we take care of nulls, we change datetime format etc.. and after such cleansing/transformation at then end, load it to Dim/Fact tables
Pros: Makes process simpler and easy and also we can keep track of data as we have data in staging
Cons: Staging tables need space hence need memory space
Dimension Table:
tables which describes/stores the attribute about specific objects
Below is star schema which has dimension storing information related to Product, Customer etc..

Hi,
This is a very generic Error.
u2022You can try re-booting the server.
u2022Prior to re-boot log-in to the server and verify that the +COM objects are working or all started
u2022You may also get this error if a dimension has not processed, which means the application is not processed
u2022Another problem that can cause this problem is that the password for the installation user has been changed or that the installation user is locked out.
u2022Do you see error in BPC Server Manager -> Diagnostic?
There are several SAP Notes also available for this Error u2013 1246092, 1223846

PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ...) and user defined dimensions

Hi,
I created a custom package that should enable the user to select members of the TIME, Account and Category dimensions and also members of some user defined dimension called "Costcent". After that, a scriptlogic file should be called.
I tried:
1)
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... %TIME_DIM%%ACCOUNT_DIM%%CATEGORY_DIM%"Costcenter")
which doesn't work, bc. compiler doesnt seem to like %var%"fixedexpression"
2)
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... "Costcenter")
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... %TIME_DIM%%ACCOUNT_DIM%%CATEGORY_DIM%)
running the package only allows to select a costcenter, 2nd prompt ignored?
3) similar, the other way round.
Any ideas?
Moreover, I need to be able to access the selection of the Costcenter members in the script logic. For the std. dimensions, there is %TIME_SET%, %CATEGORY_SET% etc.I am using successfully, but how to define or access the set (or list) for the selected members of user-def. "CostCent" dimension ?
Thanks for your help!

Clear Bug: Using the DataManager to modify the .dtsx file sometimes modifies the prompt lines in an unpredictable way... So the file that is safed doesn't get the content it is intended to get... - Guess "this should never happen", but it is...

Numbers assigned to user defined dimensions

Dear Experts
I have created application set from APPSHELL and created three user defined dimensions viz., A, B and C
Then removed all not required dimensions including 'P_ACTIVITY' which was a User defined dimension.
System has assigned numbers as U4, U8 and U9 to these dimensions on its own (I do not know what is the logic system is following to assign numbers to these dimensions)
Questions:
1. What is the logic system is following for assignment of the numbers to User defined dimensions?
2. Can I change these numbers to U1, U2 and U3 (for ease in ad-hoc reporting). If YES how can I do that?
Thanks

Hi,
The userdefined dimensions are named Sequentially as they are created and these are not constant for them, the same dimension may have different names in different applications.
Also the user defined dimensions are named as Ua to Ux in NW.
For example, in App1 some dimension X may be named as Uc, the same dimension X in App2 may be named as Ud or some other.
We need to manually work betweeen "a to x" with the below macro to find the exact name for the user defined dimension in the application.
"MNU_eTOOLS_MEMBERSELECTOR_X"
Eg:
MNU_eTOOLS_MEMBERSELECTOR_Ua
Also as suggested in earlier replies i dont think this naming can be changed.
Hope this helps,

How to Manage index of user define dimensions

When I create a new rate application,The BPC system throw the message"Index was out of range:must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection parameter name :Index".
I searched oss notes:1323195 saying :"A user can change the index of user-defined dimensions by clicking a button named "Manage Index" in "Modify application". The button will be shown if**
*there are user-defined dimensions already assigned to an application or at*
*the moment of assigning a user-defined. If the button is clicked a windows*
*will popup, and the user can maintain a user-defined dimension index from*
*the window."*
But i can't find the menu "manage index" .
could someone tell me how to find it?
thanks

Just go trough Manage application and Modify application and use reindex and full process.
This normally should fix your issue.

Need help: unable to change user defined dimension

Hi,
I have a problem with BPC. I installed BPC Server and BPC Client NW7.5 SP9. I can duplicate, create and modify all standard dimensions (Account, Category, Entity, Time) in my own application as also in appshell.
I can duplicate or create a user defined dimension, but I cannot modify that user defined dimension. I change the elements, then I process my changes. But after I have refreshed the dimension all changes are reverted.
I looked in UJFS and can see that .xls and .xlt are uploaded on NW correctly. Even on my local machine it is changed, but BPC does not recognize that.
Has anyone an idea what to do? I need not only the standard dimensions but also user defined dimensions.
Regards

We've got this problem on non-unicode system on SP08, as Frank. Corrected with SP09.
Maybe you have to check if all components patched well (NW, .Net and client):
- In NW Go to System-Status-Component Information. CPMBPC must have level 0009.
- On .Net Server check Server Version in Planning and Consolidation Server utility (.09)
- In client for Excel check ETools-About Planning and Consolidation (7.50.09).
If that's correct, first check, if new records occur in BW object for your dimension (in rsa1). Or maybe that info-object somehow become inactive.
And did you mark checkbox "Process members from member shett" during processing the dimension?

Difference between Real User Experience Insight and Webalizer?

Dear All,
Can u tell me that is there any difference between Real User Experience Insight and Webalizer?
If both are functioning almost same then why RUEI is expensive
Please must reply

Webalizer uses Web Server logs however RUEI does not use web server logs it monitors Network Traffic without interfering in application which does not affect application performance...
For using Webalizer Application code is modified but not in the case of RUEI
The most important one is that Webalizer does not provide Sufficient and Efficient information as does the RUEI because it can replay the whole session called FULL SESSION REPLAY, Which helps finding errrors on specific pages. Also helps finding delays in transactions.
RUEI is deployed either by copy port or Tapping which create duplicate copy of each request to web server and pass it to RUEI for Analysis

Difference between PDF user's password and PDF owner's password?

What is the difference between PDF user's and owner's passwords? When creating a document, which one to use?

The user password, if set, is what you need to provide in order to open a PDF. Acrobat/Reader will prompt a user to enter the user password. If it's not correct, the document will not open.
The owner password, if set, controls permissions, such as printing, editing, extracting, commenting, etc. Acrobat/Reader will disallow these things based on the permission settings. Acrobat will require this password if you want to set/change permissions.

User defined dimensions in planning

hi all can any one tell me where are the user defined dimensions in planning are stored in the backend realtional tables ? I am learning about the worlkflow of the backend tables and how will they react to any changes that are made in the front end. I got the tables where pre defined dimensions are stored but i created a dimension called "CUSTOM" and checked it in the HSP_OBLECT, HSP_DIMENSION tables but did not find it. Can any one tell me whats actually going on in the backend ??
thanks in advance,
Ranjith Kumar. P

You can find the dimension name in HPS_Object under Object_Name column and for the dimension Id you can check HSP_Dimension.
Something like:
Select Object_Name from HSP_OBJECT WHERE (Object_ID in (Select Dim_ID from HSP_Dimension))
and just for finding the object_id of dimension name "Custom":
Select * from HSP_OBJECT where Object_Name like 'Custom'

The Difference between "Cell Data" and "Dimension Data"?

What is the difference between the tab "Cell Data" and "Dimension Data" in SSAS?

Article quote: " SSAS provides the way to secure analysis services database/cube data from unauthorized access. Analysis services provides secure access by creating object called "roles". After creation of role, user's windows login credential can be used
to enroll into particular role because analysis services identifies user from their windows login credentials . You can protect your data in roles at two levels:
1) Dimension level
2) Cell level
If user has been assigned more than one role, analysis services loop through all assigned roles after login. Analysis services finds all permission level for the particular user and union all the permission levels.
If two roles has contradictory access for user then particular access will be allowed. Suppose role1 says Australia data access and role2 denies Australia data access then access to Australia data will be allowed. "

What is the difference between variable and Define

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
these different declarations when it is done using the keyword "variable" and "define"
and both of these are done OUTSIDE "DECLARE"
VARIABLE g_monthly_sal NUMBER
DEFINE p_annual_sal =5000
-- I understand that p_annual_sal will be taken as a CHAR.
-- ALSO IF DEFINE variable acts as macro variable, SO is it necessary to give it some value whenever we define it.
if not what value would be substituted for it?
OR does that mean whenever we want to specify data type for a bind varible we should use VARIABLE and
when we do not want to specify type we use DEFINE?
THANK YOU

Both are SQL*plus commands. In a real programming environment you will not use such constructs (except a few rare scripting cases).
The difference is how the construct is later used. DEFINE is more like a copy&paste string. Whereever the name of this substitution variable is found it will be pasted into the sql*plus session.
VARIABLE creates a real variable. You can change the value and if follwos the usual principles of variables (including binding).
Example can be found the docs:
from the docs
Where and How to Use Substitution Variables
You can use substitution variables anywhere in SQL and SQL*Plus commands, except as the first word entered. When SQL*Plus encounters an undefined substitution variable in a command, SQL*Plus prompts you for the value.
You can enter any string at the prompt, even one containing blanks and punctuation. If the SQL command containing the reference should have quote marks around the variable and you do not include them there, the user must include the quotes when prompted.
SQL*Plus reads your response from the keyboard, even if you have redirected terminal input or output to a file. If a terminal is not available (if, for example, you run the script in batch mode), SQL*Plus uses the redirected file.
After you enter a value at the prompt, SQL*Plus lists the line containing the substitution variable twice: once before substituting the value you enter and once after substitution. You can suppress this listing by setting the SET command variable VERIFY to OFF.
Using Bind Variables
Bind variables are variables you create in SQL*Plus and then reference in PL/SQL or SQL. If you create a bind variable in SQL*Plus, you can use the variable as you would a declared variable in your PL/SQL subprogram and then access the variable from SQL*Plus. You can use bind variables for such things as storing return codes or debugging your PL/SQL subprograms.
Because bind variables are recognized by SQL*Plus, you can display their values in SQL*Plus or reference them in PL/SQL subprograms that you run in SQL*Plus.
Creating Bind Variables
You create bind variables in SQL*Plus with the VARIABLE command. For example
VARIABLE ret_val NUMBER
This command creates a bind variable named ret_val with a datatype of NUMBER. See the VARIABLE command for more information. (To list all bind variables created in a session, type VARIABLE without any arguments.)
Referencing Bind Variables
You reference bind variables in PL/SQL by typing a colon (:) followed immediately by the name of the variable. For example
:ret_val := 1;
To change this bind variable in SQL*Plus, you must enter a PL/SQL block. For example:
BEGIN
:ret_val:=4;
END;
