Dimension Properties

The Dimension Properties and the columns in Dimension members are Not in match. As I can add my own columns in the Dimension members directly.
Then why should I defined the Dimension peroperties at the first place?

You can add whatever columns into your dimension sheet but they are not going to be a dimension property that you can access from logic or member lookup. That is why you must defined property for dimension independently.

SSRS MDX Query Dimension Properties Missing

I have been stumped on this for a few days thought I'd throw this out here. I've read every related article in the forum regarding MDX Queries and Dimension Properties in SSRS Report Developer and haven't found a case exactly like this with a solution that
works.
Environment is SQL 2012 SP1 Cum update 5
I am doing a rather generic query out of MS Project Servers OLAP cube and I can't get the dimension properties to show up in the flattened output for my dataset. See below.
SELECT
NON EMPTY { [Measures].[FTE est] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {
[Value_Stream_Project].[Value_Stream_Project].ALLMEMBERS *
[Project Status_Project].[Project Status_Project].ALLMEMBERS *
DESCENDANTS([Project List].[Project List Level 02].ALLMEMBERS)*
DESCENDANTS([ProjectManager_Project].[ProjectManager_Project Level 02].ALLMEMBERS) *
[Planner_Project].[Planner_Project].ALLMEMBERS *
[Time].[Month].ALLMEMBERS
DIMENSION PROPERTIES
MEMBER_CAPTION,
MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME,
PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,
LEVEL_NUMBER ,
[Project List].[Project List Level 02].[Start Date],
[Project List].[Project List Level 02].[Finish Date]
ON ROWS
FROM (
SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@FromTime, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@ToTime, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS
FROM (
SELECT ( STRTOSET(@RBSResource, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS
FROM (
SELECT ( STRTOSET(@ProjectStatusProject, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS
FROM (
SELECT ( STRTOSET(@ValueStreamProject, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS
FROM [MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer]))))
My issue is the [Project List Level 02] dimension Properties (below) are not showing up in the Query designer output, aren't being generated as fields in the dataset and can't be referenced as a property in an expression (i.e. Fields!Project_List("Start
Date") )
[Project List].[Project List Level 02].[Start Date],
[Project List].[Project List Level 02].[Finish Date]
The odd part is if I change the above two rows in my query to this :
[Project List].[Start Date],
[Project List].[Finish Date]
The Query designer shows the properties in the output but leads to 2 other issues,
1) I have to modify the generated Dataset field values to remove the [Project list Level 02] in the Level unique name like this
Before<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Field xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="MemberProperty" PropertyName="Project List - Start Date" LevelUniqueName="[Project List].[Project List Level 02]" />
After
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Field xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="MemberProperty" PropertyName="Project List - Start Date" LevelUniqueName="[Project List]" />
2) I have to restrict my cross join to only the current level (Level 02) or it expands the results to the parent hierarchy of the Project List dimension and skews my measure summaries.
I've tested the query in SSMS directly and the properties are showing up just fine for those dimensions using the original syntax.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
Which data source provider are you using? Are the connection strings used in SSMS the same as SSRS? Doing a profiler trace against Analysis Services might point to differences in how the connection is made or query is parsed.
This may help.

Did you try using With clause to make a friendly name for the member properties?

BPC7.5NW: How to increase default Dimension Properties length

Hi Experts,
May I know if it is possible to increase the maximum length of default dimension properties, such as ID and EvDescription? I know we can set the property length in "Modify Dimension Property". However, I don't see those default dimension properties under this functionality, in my case, the ID.
Please advice.
Regards,
Kenneth

Hi,
No! you can not change Ienghts of all properties. If the dimension is standard then you can not change any of the standard properties. If the dimension is user defined then you can not change ID,Description and Scaling.
Default length for ID is 20 chars and Description is 60 chars.
Regards,
Raju

Using dimension properties in LOOKUP

Hi,
I'm trying to use dimension properties in a LOOKUP, but when I execute the script the log tells me that COMPANY, SALESORG, PRODUCT and TRANSCURRENCY is not defined and therefore create a lookup on all members.
THe usage of properties in LOOKUP is described in the documentation, but somehow it doesn't seem to work for me. Can anyone help me?
*LOOKUP ACTIVITYPLAN
*DIM FCIC:ACCOUNT= "FULLCOST"
*DIM FCIC:PARTNER="I_NONE"
*DIM FCIC:COMPANY=PARTNER.ENTITY

Hi Gersh,
I'm getting closer. I have now tried to use the FOR/NEXT logic on 1 property and it works. I know want to include another. In this case it seems as if the LOOKUP works fine, but the WHEN/REC/ENDWHEN is not. It doesn't recognize my LOOKUP(%LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%).
Any suggestions have to solve this problem?
*LOOKUP ACTIVITYPLAN
*FOR %LOOP_CO% = %P_COMP%
    *FOR %LOOP_CU% = %P_CURR%
        *DIM %LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%:TRANSCURRENCY=%LOOP_CU%

Account Dimension Properties

Hi,
I have some questions concerning Account dimension properties:
1. "EnableCustom1Aggr"--->Whether aggregation is enabled for intersections of the Account and Custom dimensions This attribute is used for special totals, not summing. Specify Y if the account can aggregate with Custom dimensions or N if it cannot. does this mean that by default summing is working?
2."EnableDataAudit"---> what does it mean to have an audited account or scenario?
3. did anyone try member name that have space character on oracle database.
4.what is the use of plug accounts.
Thanks,
foksh

does this mean that by default summing is working?
The account rollup is summing by default, but if you do not have the EnableCustomAggr checked, the Custom dimension members will show nothing.
"EnableDataAudit"---> what does it mean to have an audited account or scenario? will allow you to see changes made to that account from the Tasks Folder -> Data Audit option.
what is the use of plug accounts. R/= This are were you usually store the difference between your Intercompanies.
Using spaces in member names is not recommended, try undercores _

Description on Essbase Account Dimension Properties

Hi everyone! I am a newbie on Oracle Hyperion and Essbase. I joined a company as a trainee software developer. And my role is to support my superiors in developing Planning and Budget Applications for Plantations of our company.
I tried my best to find places in internet where I can improve my knowledge in the application but there is no place I found as free since my company is not ready to give good professional training. so I decided to choose the forum where I guess I would get help.
My first question to ask is about Account Dimensions Properties,+_ what they do, what are their uses, what for an account type is used, where time balance is used etc.
Edited by: 930603 on Apr 27, 2012 10:51 AM

Hi,
Welcome to the world of Hyperion first i suggest you to start reading the essbase dbag, it will help you to understand what exactly the product do and also help you to understand the best optimum solution for your design & implementation

Script calculation for dimension properties

Dear Experts,
I am using BPC 7.0NW,
My code in Default.lgf:
*BEGIN
[P_ACCT].[#B] = [P_ACCT].[A]* [P_ACCT].[C]
*END
Now, I want to run this calculation for dimension property wise.
LIke i want to add dimension properties in above calculations.
And how do i put "IF" conditions?
Please help me ...
Thanks alot in advance.....!

Kumar,
follow next steps:
1. Create new logic file and name it "TEST" for example
2. Use next coding in it:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = YOUR_P_ACCT_MEMBER
*IS "YOUR_PROPERTY_VALUE"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,TIME="2010.MAR")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
3. Validate and save your TEST.LGF
4. Insert next coding into DEFAULT.LGF
*INCLUDE ADD.LGF
5. Validate and save DEFAULT.LGF
Put your values insted of "YOUR_P_ACCT_MEMBER", "YOUR_PROPERTY_VALUE"
This coding works for sure.
U can use ABAP in script logic. The mechanism is described here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70sp02/helpdata/en/a1/532226947C49A5B2E2BD32450CB2D1/frameset.htm

Proper formatting for dimension properties in SQL script logic

Hi all,
I'm trying to pass the time member from a property in account dimension. (Post recognized revenue by looking at deferred revenue accounts.) The dimension ACCTREV has a property called DATENAME. DATENAME refers to a valid TIME member. In 4.2 this logic worked fine. In 5.1sp3 it's not passing the correct time period (formula log indicates null value for time member).
For example: ACCTREV = 4101Billing_2008.JUN DATENAME = 2008.JUN (DATENAME is a property of ACCTREV)
Here's the logic: *REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,TIME=ACCTREV.DATENAME,ACCTREV=ACCTREV.ACCT)
I've read the other post indicating brackets are required by SQL when passing parameters that contain delimiters like "." but it doesn't say how to do it!
I've tried TIME=ACCTREV.DATENAME resulting in null time members.
I've tried TIME=ACCTREV.DATENAME resulting in null time members.
I've updated the property value to 2008.JUN with TIME=ACCTREV.DATENAME resulting in null time members.
Also how do you post a thread using a bracket without turning it into a hyperlink?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: Ara Toroyan on Aug 5, 2008 2:24 AM

Thanks Kranthi,
It's still not working.
I believe the problem is SQL 2005 related and the DATENAME "2008.JUN."
ACCT is a property of ACCTREV and the properties refer to valid ACCTREV members.
DATENAME is a property of ACCTREV and refers to valid TIME members-- not TimeID or UserTimeID
The formula log reveals the correct ACCTs but no TIME (null values). The problem is with DATENAME. Closer inspection of the formula log below shows that Query1 doesn't load DATENAME. (Not sure why but this could be because of improper formatting.)
I've validated the existence of all property values with =EVPRO. The values are part of the dimension tables.
Here's the forumula log: (I've deleted some of the product and time members in the log for brevity.)

Xcelsius fileter on dimension properties

Hi,
pls let me know whether it is possible to filter dimension according dimension property in Xcelsius.
If its possible please share the steps for filtering. I want to filter data according to dimension not included in Dashboard row and column domension.
Regards
Raman

Hi,
When you are creating dimensions for your application set, the following for any one dimension is important
u2022 The maximum number of fields in a table (a dimension = 1 table) is 1024.
u2022 The maximum record size is 8064 bytes (a record = 1 row in a table)
In BPC a field equals a property. So there can be maximum of 1024 properties in a dimension. Now, the factors impacting are:
1. The number of levels defined. SQL Server creates a set of properties for each level within the dimension. if you have 10 properties and 4 levels in your dimension, your total number of fields is 40.
2. The size of the record. To determine record size you have to figure out the number of bytes (a byte equals a character) in each level. Since levels are repeated you only need to figure out the number of bytes in the first level and then multiply that number by the number of levels. To come up with the total number of bytes for a level you simply add up the field size for each field and multiply it by 2 (1 character= 2 bytes).
Hope this helps.

Automation of updates of dimension properties/NEWID using Admin_MAKEDIM

We are trying to automate the changes to the properties to the dimension members and NEWID's to existing ID's. We have a SSIS that updates the mbrdimension table correctly but when we run the Admin_MAKEDIM from datamanager it is not applying the updates to the dimension members. But if there are new members they are updating ok.
Does Admin_Makedim process/apply changes to the dimension member properties and ID's ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi there,
Were you able to get this to work?
The properties and new members need to exist in your temporary table.
The contents of the temporary table are then copied to the mbr table and then the dimension is processed.
Please note that the Excel member sheet is not update so you either need to manually export the dimension member sheet (there is an option to do this in the BPC Admin module) or you can create a process in SSIS to extract the contents of the Mbr table to the member sheet in the ADMINAPP folder.
Thanks
John

Updating dimension properties without through Excel

Hi all,
Would anyone know a way of updating dimension members o properties without enetring the Admin Console?
I'm looking for a way of letting no-administrator users change some properties of a dimension with an Excel interface or similar.
Has anyone developped anything?
Thank you all,
Kind regards,
Virginia

Hi,
There are definitely packages available for these purposes and can be executed from BPC excel. You need to define the infoobject name from where you want to import the master data. And mention the dimension name to which the import needs to be done.
Hope this helps.

Can we calculate difference of dimension properties values in script logic

HI
I have 3 products, whose manufacturing process starting perod and end periods are different for three products. Now I want
to distribute total manufactuing cost to those periods only for each product. how will write script logic for this senario.
My system is BPC nw7.5
Mahi

Hi,
So, you want to find the difference between the dates and distribute the cost among them. I dont think this will be feasible using script logic. My suggestion would be use BADI. Script logic cannot do manipulation on the properties. BADI will be much easier. In addition to this, you need to think what should be the destination of the result. Every record is going to generate few records (depending on the number of months).
Hope this helps.

Can't load dimension properties from csv file

Hi all, I work with EPM 11.1.1
I'm trying to load DataStorage dimension property to existed Generic dimension (SKU) of my planning application.
When I create a profile I can't see this property in the Mapping options window using the following file:
!Section=Dimensions
'Name;DimensionClass;DimensionAlias;CustomDimensionID
SKU;Generic;;
!Members=SKU
'Name
Brand1
Brand2
!PropertyArray=SKU
'Property;Name;Value
DataStorage;Brand1;StoreData
DataStorage;Brand1;StoreData
When I use the following file:
!Section=Dimensions
'Name;DimensionClass;DimensionAlias;CustomDimensionID
SKU;Generic;;
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child
#root;Brand1
#root;Brand2
!Members=SKU
'Name;DataStorage
Brand1;StoreData
Brand2;StoreData
I get the following warning:
Import Dimension SKU member section maps to non-dimension global property DataStorage. Data for this column will not be processed.
What I do wrong?
Edited by: Vovanenok on Apr 15, 2009 6:48 AM

Try:
!Section=Dimensions
'Name;DimensionClass;DimensionAlias;CustomDimensionID
SKU;Generic;;
!Members=SKU
'Name;DataType
Brand1;Unspecified
Brand2;Unspecified
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child;DataStorage
#root;Brand1;StoreData
#root;Brand2;StoreData
Tho I would add MemberValidForPlan#;Plan#Aggregation, where # is a number of your application which this member is valid for or even has a specific aggregation, as well
example:
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child;DataStorage;MemberValidForPlan1;MemberValidForPlan2;MemberValidForPlan3;Plan1Aggregation;Plan2Aggregation;Plan3Aggregation;UDA
#root;Brand1;StoreData;Y;Y;Y;+;+;+;
#root;Brand2;StoreData;Y;Y;Y;+;+;+;
Even more as an idea use pipes, maybe.
But you will need to say something about Aliases as well if this is a planning application.

BPC: EvDre filter on dimension properties

Hy, I'm having some problem building an "aggregate" evdre.
I've to produce a report showing data from two or more entity basemembers choosed on the base of the area_manager property value, so I'm trying to generate the members list using EvEne, EvSet and EvPxr
this are my formulas:
EVSET("COAN";"TotSocieta";"EVBAS";;VERO;EVPXR("PDV";"AREA_MANAGER";"TotSocieta") & "=""RIGHINI""")
gives me this filter
Filter({Hierarchize(Descendants([PDV].[TotSocieta],999,LEAVES))},[PDV].[TotSocieta].Properties("AREA_MANAGER")="RIGHINI")
the evene (g10 refers to EVSET("COAN";"TotSocieta";"EVBAS";;VERO;EVPXR("PDV";"AREA_MANAGER";"TotSocieta") & "=""RIGHINI""") )
EVENE("COAN";C30:C31;D30:D31;G10)
EvEne returns TRUE, but when expanding it gives #NODATA.
the property name is correct and there are base members with te value specified.
Can anyone give me some suggestion?
Thankyou in advace!
Letizia

I do not understand how you're trying to do this in an EvDRE, since I see EVENE in your example.
Please see my examples here, which may help you resolve your issue.
Re: Custom EV function
and
here:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=9341550
Please note, if you are trying to "aggregate" you might need to do this with a parent heirarchy instead. Properties are good for to bring back all members that are flagged with a specific property, but not summarize. You likely need a parent heirarcy if you want to summarize.

Outline Build-Move Members in Dimension Properties is grayed out

Hi, I'm very new with EIS and created a sample meta outline. Everytime I add a member name below a Dimension in the meta outline, EIS does not allow me to check "Move Members" in the "Duplicate Member Name" area from the Outline Build tab. When I delete the member names just added to the Dimension, the "Move Members" would be available to be checked (not grayed out).
Any help would be great, thank you!

Hi there
I believe the Fit to Stage button only becomes available if the image is larger than the stage itself. If you insert an image that is smaller than the stage, it will not enable and maximize the image to fill the stage area if that's what you were hoping to do.
Cheers... Rick
