Dynamic EVDRE expansion

Hi All,
we have a requirement of dynamic expansion of evdre based on the user selection.
Out of 6 dimension, user may select as many as he wants, and based on the selection we need to expand the evdre and generate the report in a different sheet.
We tried to give the dimension from the excel reference, but due to the unselected dimension in selection sheet, we received EVDRE error.
When we tried to restrict the the EVDRE range cells, we received the below error:
"runExpand: RowKeyRange<>RowExpandOptions wks:Sheet1".
Please suggest on it and provide a workaround to achieve the requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Umesh Jethwani.

Hi Umesh,
This error usually means that the rowkeyrange is not matching with the expansion options. If your row key range is set to do an expansion on 3 rows, then you should have 3 rows in the expansion options.
You have specified some specific number of expansions in your EVDRE, lets say 3 dimensions in rows. You are passing the expansion dimension members from another sheet. If you dont get all the 3 expansions in the sheet 2, then the expansion option will not match with the rowkeyrange.
So, even if the user doesnt select any dimension member, you need to pass some member (may be the highest node) to that dimension.
Hope you got my idea.

Evdre error using "dynamic hierarchy expansion" option

Dear all,
I'm trying to expand the evdre using the option "dynamic hierarchy expansion", but I get an error in function EVDRE(). This is the error:
#ERR: Consolidation Mode ON - Only keyword ""Blank"" is applicable for dimension ENTITY when with dimension GROUPS.

Dynamic EVDRE, Drill Down insserting and a formula

Hi,
I need your help.
I need to do a dynamic EVDRE report, where the customer can see the details of the accounts (Drill Down option: expand by inserting news accounts), and between the dynamic rows I have rows with formulas.
I've got this RangeOption:
PageKeyRange     Sheet1!$I$3:$I$13
ColKeyRange     Sheet1!$H$15:$I$16
RowKeyRange     Sheet1!$F$19:$F$24;Sheet1!$F$26:$F$37
The ExpansionOption:
ExpandIn     COL     COL     ROW
Dimension     TIME     CATEGORY     ACCOUNT
MemberSet     SELF     SELF     LDEP(1,A_111),A_111,A_112,A_113|DEP(A_114),A_114
In the rows represented by pipes (' | ')     I've got a formula like this: =R1/R2 (R1,R2 are references to the fields)
All this is ok when I do this:
- I expand the report
- I do doble click in a field to see the detail account
- I do doble click in the same field to hide the detail account
- I expand again the report
This dont work if I do this:
- I expand the report
- I do doble click in a field to see the detail account
- I expand again the report... I loose the reference to the fields!!
Some idea about what can I do??
Thanks
BR.

I checked than the problem was because I loose the expansion.

What is PROPLINK and can you use a dynamic FLOWAN expansion?

Hi Experts,
Everybody is familiar with the notorius FLOWAN property in the Account dimension.
I wonder if anybody has found a way to dynamically expand ACCOUNT & FLOW dimension in an assymetric way.
Example Account dimension:
Account
FLOWAN
601000
F05 F06 F07
602000
F20 F30
Desired EPM-addin row expansion should then dynamically form like this:
601000     F05
                 F06
                 F07
602000    F20
                 F30
You have the option in the EPM-addin row definition to use an expansion based on a property of another dimension.
That works perfectly fine for one member, but not for multiple members.
Has anyone found a good way to work around this?
In the EPM-addin user guide, you can find a reference to a certain PROPLINK function (I guess migrated from EVDRE).
I wonder if this was able to perform this kind of expansion.
Thanks for you comments!

I'm keen to know if this is possible too - with or without PROPLINK.
It seems that it works fine with single values in the FLOWAN property but reverts to the Context member if more than one value is present. Comma, semicolon or space-separated values ssem to make no difference...
Anyone seen a work-around or different way of achieving this?
Thanks

EVDRE Expansion depending on Property of members

Hi All,
I am developing a report which will give me data for specific property of the members and at different levels. Let me explain it more... We have a dimension PROJ which has one property Bill_to. This property is set to child projects only. So now EvDRE should give me data if Bill_To = "X". I could get this working by putting the condition in MemberSet in Expansion range.
Now, i want to populate the data depending on the hierarchy. Like, if i want to query for Level 0 member then it should only give me data rolled up to parent for ONLY those child members which have Bill_To property set to 'X'.
Depending on the desired levels, i tried this condition in MemberSet: Bill_To = 'X' and HLevel = 1 (varies depending on the level). But it didnt work.
I would really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
Mandar

Thanks for the reply Nilanjan but it didnt work like i tried earlier. It gives me data for level 1 even for all the projects which doesnt have Bill_To property set.
Let me explain it a little more... we have around 400 prjects of which many have different parents and they are at different levels of hierarchy. So i want to fetch the data like
At Level 0 --> Only projects with Bill_To = 'X' (Rolling up to Parent Projects in Hierarchy)
At Level 1 --> Only projects with Bill_To = 'X' (Rolling up to Parent Projects in Hierarchy)
At Level 3 --> Only projects with Bill_To = 'X' (Rolling up to Parent Projects in Hierarchy)
At Level 'BAS' --> Only projects with Bill_To = 'X' (i could get this data set by simply putting the condition in MemberSet.)
Thanks Again,
Mandar.

Evdre expansion question

Hi,
I have a requirement to create an evdre input schedule with two dimensions in rows, ACCOUNT and INTCO.
The account dimension should expand using a MEMBERSET of SELF,ALL with the appropriate member set in the CV.
The intco dimension should be selected depending on the account per row with an IF statement (IF(evpro(LEGAL;account;PINTCO)="Y";"INTCO.TOTAL";"I_NONE")
Is this possible? In a non expanding input schedule I can do it, but is it also possible to have the input schedule expand along the account dimension?
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi Arnold,
One possible workaround is to use that formula in a CellKeyRange.
In the evDRE keyrange set the CellKeyRangevalue to =EVRNG(P8)
In cell P8, place your formula
=(IF(evpro(LEGAL;"account";PINTCO)="Y";"INTCO.TOTAL";"I_NONE")
You need to change the "account" word to use an Excel key reference which is dynamic. Test it out and you'll see what I mean.
In my test I had the following in cell P8
=IF(J8="CE0001000","Europe_IN","NA_IN")
Give it a try and you'll see what happens in the evDRE range just to right of the data range.
Note that using CellKeyRanges are a drag on performance so please use them carefully.
You can also use an evGET report to do what you want as well but they perform poorly as well.
Goodluck,
John

Identity Sever Dynamic Group expansion

I have few dynamic groups defined based on 'dynamic filter' (example:- ldap:///dc=abc,dc=com??sub?(myRole=Helpdesk)). All these group's have 'dynamic member only' attribute set to true.
I always have to expand it manually from configuration to refresh the static users in this group. Is there a way to make this process automatic ? for example:- automatic expansion every 1hr?
Thanks!
Kabi

There is no timing thread built into OAM - so you have to work this out outside of the product.
I have, for example, used Quartz and an HTTP client library to 'click' the expand button on a regular schedule. You can also bring in the Access SDK if you need an ObSSOCookie to get to the Admin interface.

Dynamic volume expansion

Hi,
We are looking to buy a storage array (eg. StorEdge 6130).
As we require near 24/7 storage availability, we need to know if it is possible to expand a RAID 10 or 5 volume during run-time (that is, we do not want to umount/reboot etc) and then be able to resize the file-system (eg. VxFS).
Do we require extra software eg. VxVM or can we do this with the software which optionally comes with the above array?
We would run any OS (Solaris) on any type of Sun host which we will need purchase as well.
Any help or pointers much appreciated!

Formula/Function Retention in Expansion Area of EvDRE

Hi,
Is there any way I can retain excel formula or function within the area of EvDRE expansion, in an input schedule?
Structure of my input schedule is fixed columns and dynamic rows.
Many thanks,
Shabba

Hi Petar,
Looks like a very helpful answer, thanks for that.
But the issue is bit more complex, I've two dimensions in rows i.e. Country and Account. For each Country a block of Account members is repeated. For example:
Country A, Account 101 - user input
Country A, Account 102 - calculation a
Country A, Account 103 - user input
Country A, Account 104 - calculation b
Country A, Account 105 - calculation c
Country B, Account 101 - user input
Country B, Account 102 - calculation a
Country B, Account 103 - user input
Country B, Account 104 - calculation b
Country B, Account 105 - calculation c
As you can see that within block of accounts each calculation is different from the other. Here it is, also, important to mention that countries in the Country dimension are also not fixed - change with respect to the CV selections. So number of rows can't be fixed.
I would appreciate your response.
Many thanks,
Shabbar

EvDRE Sheet Expansion

Anyone having any luck using EvDRE expansion across sheets?
My sheet expansion seems to be working, but the results in each sheet are the same. The CurrentView isn't changing.
I have Paolo Ferreri's documentation, and I have attempted to set up a second CurrentView on Entity that is referenced in the EvDRE MemberSet.
The CurrentView, however, never changes across the sheets that have been dynamically added. What am I missing?
Thanks...Marv

Petar --
Thanks for your response.
To clarify...my EvDRE setup sheet is the only sheet in my workbook. I am using the EvDRE quick-build wizard to build my expansion.
My process IS EXPANDING the sheets correctly. Each sheet is correctly named with the child member.
The problem is that after the expansion each sheet has values for total entity rollup (i.e.the static CurrentView). The EvDRE on the setup sheet has the sheet expansion option (expansion #3), while each of the expansion sheets have only row (#1) and column (#2) expansions.
The CurrentView for each of the child members has not changed, although their respective sheetnames have.
I am afraid I am missing something...

EVDRE Column expansion: Auto hide column following expansion

Hello All
I have an EVDRE expansion question please. If i set my column to expand on BAS members of Entity, and i have say 10 entities that are a part of my selected parent entity, i notice that the 11th column auto hides in excel. I assume this is caused by the fact that the page key range definition requires the colkeyrange to include a minimum of two columns.
Does any one know how to stop this? Perhaps as one of the OptionsRange?
The context of my question is that i have 4 EVDRE's in my sheet - if one of them results in a column being hidden, it hides results from the EVDRE results that appears below it.
Naturally, the same applies to a Row expansion.
Thanks for any assistance
Glen

Hi Glen,
I cannot decipher the way your template looks like. As far as I understand your statement, you have a "DYANMIC" expansion in column in which you use BAS as your flag for column member set.
This is how it works, if you're using flags (e.g. BAS, SELF, DEP) as your member set. It highly depends on your current view. Meaning, if the member in your current view has only 1 BAS level member, then the column next to it will automatically hide. Therefore, the case where you are in is not usual in BPC wherein the current view on that dimension has 10 BAS level members and the column next to it automatically hides.
Possible cause/reason, I suppose is that you are using "HIDECOLKEYS" in your option range tagged as "Y" in your 2nd or 3rd or 4th EvDRE which is PROBABLY LOCATED under the ranges of EvDRE where you have 10 BAS level members.
I hope my statements are easily comprehendable.
Thanks! Hope this helps... _
I'm sorry I forgot to highlight this:

Glen
So what I want to suggest is that check all your column and row ranges if it overlaps each other in each EvDRE. It would be best to relocate other EvDREs OR remove the "Y" tags on your option range at "hidecolkeys" and/or "hiderowkeys" and just group the IDs manually through MS EXCEL.
Thanks!

EvDRE: Design Questions

A couple of "best practices" questions regarding for a simple EVDRE report.
1. Whis is a better design for performance:
A. Five single DREs on one worksheet, or
B. One DRE on one worksheet that uses five pipes (|)?
2. I have a 1x1 report where column IDs need to be dynamically updated and rows are static. Which is better:
A. Use a dynamic EVDRE with column expansion for column IDs and data, or
B. Use an EVEXP for the column IDs and a static EVDRE for the data.

I'll answer your questions using your numbering after covering the basic difference betwee EVDRE & the legacy queries.
EVDRE is superior for performance and scalability over other legacy query functions (EVGET,EVGTS,EVSEN,EVSND) for a number of reasons:
      - EVDRE executes as a single query. Legacy functions execute as individual queries. So, if you have a 10x10 data area you'll have 1 query
          to populate the cells wtih EVDRE and 100 queries to populate with the other functions.
      - EVDRE can query either the relational database or the OLAP cube depending on which is most efficent for the given request.
           The other functions can only access the OLAP database.
      - EVDRE is the only function that will be enhanced in future releases. Others are only for backwards support. This would include all supporting functions such as EVEXP,EVNXP, etc.
     - The EVDRE data range only contains values that get populated by the query versus actual functions so you have more flexibility if you need to put XLS functions within the range and also cannot run into issues if someone into the data cell.
1. It depends on the query. If you have various specific combinations of data that you're querying, you're generally better off to split them into separate EVDRE's. For example, if you have two blocks of data: Actuals/ 2008, Budget/2007. You're better off making these separate because of the query that would be formed. If you do it as a single EVDRE, your query would be selecting the categories Budget & Actual and the years 2007 & 2008. this means you'd get Budget 2007 & 2008 and Acutal 2007 & 2008. Then after all that data is returned the values for Actuals/2007 & Budget 2008 would be discarded. But by breaking them into two EVDRE's (that would execute in series) you would only query the data you actuall want. Separate example, you want Actuals 2007 & 2008 and Budget 2008. You would want to have two EVDRE's in one of two (equally performing) setups: Actuals/2007 & 2008, Budget 2008 or Actuals & Budget/2008, Actuals 2007. I would probably use the first just for clarity.
2. Use the EVDRE to perform the column expansion. It is poor practic to mix EVDRE and the legacy functions. You can get both performance issues and execution ordering issues if you mix them.

BPC - Multiple Dimensions in Row Expansion - NOEXPAND issue

I have an EVDRE report in BPC where I am expanding on two different dimensions in the row (Entity, Geography). I want the Entity Dimension to dynamically expand. However, I want the Geography dimension to be static so I am using a NOEXPAND. The issue I am having is that now Entity won't expand when I change my CV.
Does anyone have a solution to this issue?
Thanks.
-Keith

Marvin,
Thanks for the response. Let me start by saying the opposite is true. There can be many entities under one geography which is why I made the Geography a property of Entity so I think we are ok there.
I think I am still a little unclear how that code you provided will only give the Geography that is associated with a particular Entity on the Row Key.
Let me explain:
Ihave an Entity Dimension [E1, E2, E3] and a Geography Dimension [G1, G2]. I also have a property in the Entity Dimension that tells me which GEO_ID each Entity belongs to (i.e. E1->G1, E2->G1, E3->G2).
If I have an input schedule with static rows, I can use an EVPRO in the second column of the row key to pull out the proper Geography key. However if I have a dynamic row expansion I will get the following:
E1, G1
E1, G2
E2, G1
E2, G2
E3, G1
E3, G2
But what I really want is just
E1, G1
E2, G1
E3, G2
Because those are the proper mappings. Does this make more sense? Is there a way to accomplish this dynamically? The only way I have been able to do it thus far is by use a cell key range In which I take out geography from the row expansion and use an EVPRO in the cell key range to provide the proper Geography ID.
Thanks for the help.

How to get Total of Manually added row in Report

Hi everyone,
I have a Input Schedule where user can add a row to the existing oneu2019s. The account member ID which is added to the existing entry manually should be able to display total of the account memberu2019s Rate X Quantity in the report. I have put Y in the Insert Member of EvDRE expansion on Account dimension and datasource dimension. User chooses the account and manual from datasource. The problem that I face in the report is u2013 datasourcetotal which is the hierarchy in datasource dimension is doing total (datasourcetotal) after every Upload and Manual entry. The reason why I chose datasource to do this task is that there is comment addition in every account row and comment for the manual entry need not be overwritten for the same account, so manual entry will segregate the comment in report display for the same account.
In my datasource dimension it is like this u2013
ID | Hierarchy
Manual | Datasourcetotal
Upload | Datasourcetotal
Datasourcetotal
Before Range and After Range with SUM and SUB functions I believe cannot work in my situation as user can add rows anywhere in the EvDRE layout.
Is there anyway that I can restrict Upload to display total in the report, whereas only total from Manual is displayed.
Also if there is any other way to display dynamic row total in the reports aside from what I have tried above that will be wonderful , my mental faculties are not giving me any creative help, also I have looked around on SDN for anyone else facing the issue u2013 none found.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Ben Ramos

Hi,
Evsub() function along with After Key range should help you adding the data from manually inserted data and displaying in your report.
Please check my info on steps for how to implement evsub funtion in a report.
BPC REPORTING
In addition to what i have mentioned there for your case include Y for insert member in the member expansion range for Accout Dimension.
Hope this helps,
