Dimension Members, modifying the formulas

Hello, We want to modify this rule in order to have the "SUM" of fathers, not childrens.
The main problem the calculations are wrong in the column 2008.TOTAL.In otherds words,
the value of 2008.ORC have to be the same in 2008.TOTAL.
'Iif(Isleaf(.CurrentMember),IIF(Ucase(.CurrentMember.Name)="BOB",MIxAcabada*rebTotal,null),
SUM(.CurrentMember.Children)), solve_order=1
If we replace "CurrentMember.Children" for "Current.Member.patern" it´s going to be right?
Thanks

First Solve Order is wrong.
Solve Order should be bigger than 3 because 0 to 3 are used by measures.
I don't understand what you would like to have. Sum of parents? A child can not have more than one parenth.

7.5 NW: Uunable to delete dimension members from the entity dimension

Hi,
I would really appreciate a solution to this. We are planning on implementing an IFRS consolidation using the SAP IFRS Starter Kit. We have created a copy of the IFRS Starter Kit, without any data. In order to customise it for our purposes, we have decided to keep the sample dimension members in Accounts, Flow and AuditID but delete the data in other dimensions. We have managed to delete the sample dimension members from the Time, Inter-company and Conoscope dimensions but are unable to do it for the Entity and RateEntity dimension.
Can anyone please explain why this is happening? There is no data in the application and so, why is this happening? We are on Service Pack 5.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Before going into the BPFs, i am sure you would have already checked, I would do the following:
-Try to process the entity dimension in offline mode. I have seen this happening with some dimenions that i know there is absolutely no transaction action. Just check processing the entity in offline mode. Do not untick 'take the appset offline'.
- You would have done this. Double check for the transaction data.
- Regarding BPFs, its not easy to check this. we had this situation earlier. Please go into the backend and in se16 you will find all the BPF tables with UJB*
There would around 10-12 such tables. Have alook in them. Not all tables need to be looked into. But please have a check there.
- Also check if entity has been referenced to any other dimension. Its good to check if you have INTCO dimension to see if it is referenced there.
Thanks,
Sreeni

How to specify what is displayed for dimension members in the Crosstab

Is there a way to programatically specify what the Crosstab displays for each dimension member. I want to be able to switch between the short label and long label of the member data. Thanks

Hi,
At the moment there is no facility to do this. However, the next version of BI Beans which will be shown at Oracle World in September should have this capability.
Hope this helps

Maintain dimension members directly into the data base

Hi,
We need to update the dimension members directly into the data base.
Instead of going into the administration and entering manually.
I tried just updating the table mbr and dim. but that didn't work.
Any insight on that?

To update the dimension members from the backend tables, update the mbr<dimension>> table and process the dimension either from BPC Admin Console or a SSIS BPC Admin Task. The dimension processing will automatically update the dim<<dimension>> table in the backend.
However, the updated dimension members can not be seen from the frontend in the BPC Admin. To see the updated dimension member sheet in the current client machine, use Export Dimension option in BPC Admin Console.
To see the updated dimension an all client machines and get reflected in the current view, please follow this URL:
Re: BPC 7 MS Update dimension (Make_dim task)
Hope this helps.

Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

Dear Experts,
I have two questions regarding the data manager.
Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
My image of csv file is like below;
ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
(I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
Thanks in advance for your help.
Fumi

Hi Fumi,
In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...
Best Regards,
Patrick

Changes in hierarchy dimension members causes EVDRE Errors retrieving data

Hi everybody,
I am facing the problem while retrieving the data in Evdre this is the following situacion:
1. BPC 7.5 NW SP 08 is used.
2. Suppose that you have a template where you defined SELF,DEP for an account dimension, you expand and refresh normally, and retrieved data OK.
3. Your business case makes that you have to move one of the dependant member of the hierarchy to another parent
then you go to mantain dimension member and change the parent of the member in question, finally you process dimension, and put available set status.
4. Yo re-open Template or refresh dimension members from the server in order to see update hierarchy in account dimension
5. After expanding and refreshing the evdre, shows and error "...while retrieving the data.. "
6. I suppose the way to fix it is to reverse the change in dimension member, so I change for initial parenth but error continue.
What do you recommend for fix it? is there any note which solve it?

Hi Sabine,
Hi Sabine,
Thanks for your answer, we followed all the steps you suggested, but the problem continue,
Could you confirm us what is the the path of that XML file of dimension thought BW - UJFS?
The only thing that correct problem is doing the following but not should be the best way:
1. Supress Account dimension in application
2. Delete dimension
3. Recreate Dimension and process it
4. insert dimension into application
5. Refresh Evdre and then works fine!
Is there any Sap note about it or something else to check?
Thanks For your help

Deleting dimension members

We have an AW with cubes refreshing every day. Fast solve of these cubes with incremental set of data finishes usually within an hour or two.
Our recent requirement needs for us to remove some old facts as well as a few dimension members. The facts can be cleared but we noticed that deleting dimension members (using synch load) is causing a full cube solve due to changed relations. With the amount of data existing in this AW, full solve takes about 2 days to complete. Deleting dimension members for which we never ever loaded any facts also causes the same result as above.
I was wondering if there is any way we can delete these dimension members without triggering a full cube solve.
Another question is if it is possible to update dimension primary keys inside of the AW?
Any help is really appreciated.
Database Version 11.2.0.3

These types of questions have been answered in the past by David Greenfield.
There are two ways to delete a dimension member through commands.
(1). OLAP dml command "REMOVE_DIMENSION_MEMBER" explained here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/olap.112/e17122/dml_commands_2042.htm#OLADM2692
OR
(2). dbms_cube.build command:
exec dbms_cube.build(q'! "TIME" USING (DELETE FROM DIMENSION WHERE MEMBER = 'APR-2011') !');
Take a look at this old post, where David Greenfield explained it.
https://forums.oracle.com/message/9426946
There is no way to rename a dimension member in a standard-form analytical workspace. There is "MAINTAIN RENAME" olap dml command, but it will not work with dimensions created through AWM. You can add the new dimension member, then copy cube data associated with old/existing member to the new member and then delete the old member.
For cube copy data example, take a look at these old (15-Feb-2011, 16-Feb-2011 and 17-Feb-2011) posts by David Greenfield:

Richtx32.ocx not registered when copying dimension members

Hi,
On trying to copy dimension members in the member selector I get an error saying that the Richtx32.ocx is not registered. I read through some of the other threads and it is suggested that I copy the file from the server - I checked and the file doesn't seem to exist there either. We have BPC 5.1 SP06 installed with SQL Server 2005. Once this error occurs I have to close down BPC completely before it will work correctly again.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated,
Kind Regards,
Fiona

This worked for me:
You need to copy Richtx32.ocx from a working client machine to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and register it.
To register:
1. Go to Start/run and type Regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\richtx32.ocx
2. Click 'ok' to the message that the file was registered successfully

Account Dimension not showing all members in the cube in Analysis Services

Hi,
         In SAP - BPC 5.1 after processing account dimension all the members are created under account dimension in analysis services but the same cannot be found in the data cube. Hence the reports generated through SAP - BPC is not showing all the members.
         The issue looks very strange as we can see the members getting created but the same is not getting populated in the cubes. I am not able to visualize what exacly the issue is? Is it with the application or with the analysis services?
Thanks
Sharath

Your sixth sense is correct, there is definitely support in MSAS and BPC 5.1 for multiple hierarchies in the account dimension.
I'm also referring to parentH1 and parentH2, but perhaps we're still speaking of different things.
In the past, I faced a very similar problem as you, and the root cause was because I had one member, let's call it FancyParent, which, in H1, had children Child1 and Child2.
But in H2 it had children Child1, Child2 and Child3. I forget now if that was how I wanted the setup to be, or if it was a mistake on my part, but either way, MSAS doesn't allow this. The admin consol didn't complain when processing the dimension -- this was in Outlooksoft 5.0; perhaps validation has improved now.
But the cube was completely unworkable. Certain things were calculating correctly, but everything in the account dimension in the area around FancyParent (above and below it, in both hierarchies) was quite unpredictable.
By disabling first one, and then the other, of the two hierarchies, and disabling blocks of accounts, I was eventually able to pinpoint the problem. But it took days to figure out what was the problem. (The account dimension had 2500 members and 4 hierarchies, and it was not a pretty sight.)
A parent must have the same definition of children in all hierarchies. It can't, as another example, have children in H1, and be a base member in H2. Each member can have different parents in the two hierarchies, but must always have the same children in both.
To work around this problem, I had to create two separate accounts NetIncomeH1 and NetIncomeH2 (and PretaxIncomeH1, PretaxIncomH2, etc. all the way down to the point where they branched off), to get the two separate aggregations of the P&L in the two hierarchies. Once I did that, it made sense to me why, but I also swore off on frivolous extra hierarchies ever again.

Is it possible to call the members of the CFMapping dimension from a EVDRE?

Hello experts,
I am working with the application Cashflow. This application uses the dimension CFMapping to match the dimension CFAccount with the dimension Account, when the package "Cash Flow Recalculation" is run. I would like to know how could I call the members of the CFMapping dimension from a report. When I try to do this,the EVDRE shows the following error message: #ERR: Invalid CFMAPPING, col# 1.
Thanks in advance,
Álvaro

Hi Mehul,
I have already checked this but it still doesn't work. The dimension CFMapping is not contained in any application, in BPC administration I checked this in the application folders. I think that the CFMapping dimension is only used to support the execution of the package I mentioned in the first message, and that is why I have problems to call it's members from a report using the normal procedure.

Álvaro

Compare two members from the same dimension in HFR

Hi,
Is it possibe to compare two members from the same dimension in HFR? The requirement is to compare Year and Week members from the same dimension. The Week date will be selected from POV. The corresponding Year date should be displayed in the report. Week dates are in the format W2008-03-07 and Year dates are in YTD2008-03-07.
The dates are same except the preceding character.I am unable to compare these two. In my understanding there's no substring or replace functions in HFR.
Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Uma

Hi,
How is your database structured? it may be possible to use the 'RelativeMember' function if it will always be the same number of steps between the 'W' member and the 'YTD' member, e.g. if your hierarchy is something like:
Time
.Weeks
..W2008-03-07
..W2008-03-10 etc.. for 52 weeks
.YTD
..YTD2008-03-07
..YTD2008-03-10 etc.. for 52 weeks
In your report select 'Current Point of View for Time' in one row/column and in the other use:
RelativeMember set up as follows:
Member: Current Point of View for Time
Offset: 52
Hierarchy: Time
RelativeMemberList: Lev0, Time
UseFirstDescendant: leave unselected
Hope this helps

How can I modify the NonLinear curve fit in 7.1 to a new formula?

My problem is something like this.
I am a beginner in LabVIEW and I have been trying to put together a piece of program that would acquire, analyze and display data from dynamic light scattering. I used a Formula Node to create a autocorrelation function which works a lot faster that the function that is on the functions palette and I have my final results in array and graph forms. I tried to look at the examples provided in the software package for some nonlinear fitting and I found the NonLinear Lev-Mar Fit.vi which would do something close to what we needed, but not enough. The autocorrelation data looks as a simple exponential decay, but the fitting procedure needs an extra term in the fitting equation to account for any undesired noise in the solution of interest. That term includes an Exponential Integral which LabVIEW had in its special function section. The problem that I have is to Modify the Lev-Mar fitting vi to account for the change. My formula looks something like:
f = (B*exp(-A*x) + (1 - B )* ExpIntegr (g*x))^2
where A and B are our fitting coefficients and the information of interest is included in A.
Thank you very much for your time.

What is g? A constant? Another fitting parameter?
It is hard work to adapt the old lev-mar fit to a new model. Things are much improved in LabVIEW 8.0+, where the model VI is called via reference and tons of other improvements were implemented.
I made similar improvements in 7.1 and you can e.g. try to modify one of my many such postings. I posted one involving exponential integrals a long time ago.
(Download the example EI_Fit.llb)
To adapt, just change the model and adjust the number of parameters if needed.
For details, check the original thread. Let me know if you have any questions.

Can you modify the dimension of a slide for a project?

Hi,
I'd like to know if you can modify the dimension of a slide within a project?
I am aware you can Modify-> Rescale Project
That does it for the whole project, but what if I wanted to add more length to slide 6 only?
Please advise if that is possible.
Thank you!
Susanne

No, all slides have the same resolution, which is normal IMO for a file that is published as a movie. Maybe if you explained what you want to achieve?

How to modify the text property of a textobject when it contains a formula.

I have a textobject with a text property of

How can I manage access to dimension members in a layout?

Hello,
I have a dimension member list of materials (400) on a "material" dimension. But some people have access to one portion of the whole group and others may have access to other groups. But the materials can be shared between groups so I cannot group them in differents hierarchies.
The problem is in the layout you need to select a hierachy to show various rows (the whole group of materiales). The layout shows all the list of materials. Even if the user only have access to 10 of them. I don't know how is the best way for presenting this to the user? It should presents only the 10 rows corresponding to his materials.
One way that I found (but I don't find it acceptable because of the hard effort that represents the maintenance) is to create differents member access profiles and denied the access to each material (dimension member - 390) that the user cannot modified. Then in excel I have to run a macro that hides all the rows that have an empty description in the cell of the material name.
How can I achive this?
Is there a function in BPC to see if a user have access or not to a dimension member?
The only way to show in a layout various rows is to set in the view a hierarchy?
Thanks & Regards
SU

hi
pl. verify whether this will suit your requirements:
Material           UG1           UG2
MAT1               Y
MAT2                                 Y
MAT3               Y
MAT4                                 Y
MAT5               Y               Y
Now UG1,UG2 diff user groups and property in Material. Assignment of Y is one time job.
At the time of accessing the dimension members can restrict on the basis of UG1="Y" or UG2="Y" property
Here MAT5 is common in both UG1 and UG2
(Hardly may have 3-4 set of users: Accordingly can have UG1,UG2,UG3,UG4 etc.)
