Dynamic/Stored calculations in BSO

Hello Guys,
(Rephrasing the question)
I've below queries in respect to Storage for a BSO member calculations,
first consider 3 two dimensions,
Measures
-Source
---A(~)
---B(~)
-Cals
---D(~)
---E(~)
Product
--P1(+)
----P11(+)
----P12(+)
----P13(+)
Customer
--C1
---C11(+)
---C12(+)
Here
1) For Measure 'D', I want data for Measure A to be aggregated only for P11 and P12 products,
Calculation based on Single Dimension members.
2) Measure 'E', I want data to refer to only particular Combinations sum like D = (B -> P13 --> C12) + (B -> P11 -> C11)
Calculation based on combinations of Dimensions
I have several KPIs and different rules needs to be implement across dimensions, so using Fix is not so easy.
For now I'm using member formulas with dynamic cacls.
As data is increasing then I'm facing the following challenge
dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than [100] blocks from the heap. Please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry
I've increased the CalcLockBlock to 500, restarted Essbase service and tried but still facing the same problem. Hence I made calc members to Stored Type
What I want to know is
1) Any suggestion for calcs, as the levels and dimensions are different for several measures
2) What is the difference for Calculation process and result for Dynamic Calc over Stored across dimensions.
Thank You

Thank you for your responses.

I was just giving an example, to increase the complexity here, I've some 5 other dimensions as well and hence you can understand it is not just 2 blocks.
I've few Dynamic Cal members with outline formulae which refer to different block combinations.
When I pull data from Add-in, I get Essbase Error
Dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than [100] blocks from the heap. Please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry
From the Application log, I get to see the following error

I've tried to resolve this by
1) Adding 'CALCLOCKBLOCK HIGH 500' in essbase.cfg ( as I did not see CALCLOCKBLOCK in the config file)
2) Increased my Datafile cache to 505416KB as per existing Blocks & Block size
Block Size is 1792 B, Existing Blocks 577619
3) Restarted Essbase service and application
Guys, Am I following the correct steps ? How can I make this to work.

Dynamic Date Calculation for Current Date - 1

I am trying to create a variant with a dynamic date calculation attribute.
I am following the instructions as they are posted to the web but I get an error message.
I want to get all data EQ to the current date -1
In the object for selection screen I enter a D for Selection Variable, for Name of Variable I enter an I to include specific values and the option EQ for current date +/- ??? days. Then I enter 1- for the number of days. I have tried to enter this many times and in many ways but it doesn't work. I keep getting this message "lower limit of interval is greater than upper limit"

Hi,
Welcome to SDN.
Selection-screen has four values -
SIGN
OPTION
LOW
HIGH
Pass your date value in the option low for the screen.
Sign you have already pass as I and option as EQ.
Regard,
Amit

How to use Dynamic date calculation in some transactions.

Hello everyone.
I have to create some dynamic variants using the dynamic date calculation. The problem is that in some transactions it´s not possible to use some variables that can round a value. For example: in transaction /SAPAPO/MC90, I need to fix 3 months in the horizon like this: From date: 01.01.2009 To date 31.03.2009. The current month is 01.01.2009. Next month the current month will be february, so the horizon would be 01.02.2009 to 30.04.2009.
In 5.1 version, it´s impossible to fix the months, because the options that appear in the match code are:
Current Date
Current date +/- ??? days
current date +/- ??? work days
First day of current month
nth working day of current month
First day of next month
First day of previous month
Last day of previous month
Last Day of the Current Month
Does anybody knows how to do this? This is happening in other transactions to.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Angela

I am not sure where you are looking for..but here is what I can do it in MC90 Tcode:
1. when you try to save the variant, in the variant screen check the two boxes under "Current date" field for Selection Variables attributes "L"
2. Then click on Selection variables option and click on the "D" variable so that it turns to green
3. Drop down in the first current date field, select "Current +/- ??? days. here if you want to start from today's date maintain 0 days
4. In the second Current date field maintain 90 days in "Current +/- ??? days.
5. save it
please let me know if I misunderstod the issue

Fiscal Calendar in Report Variant Dynamic Date Calculation

We are switching from the standard calendar to a 4/4/5 calendar for our fiscal calendar. We have a number of batch reports that use dynamic date calculation in the variant to get Month-To-Date or Previous Month date ranges. Is there a way to convert these variants to use the new FiScal calendar instead of the regular calendar?

thanks to answer , praveen.
I know, VARI has name of FM , but not has Calendar ID.

D: Dynamic date calculation

Hello,
In BEx, when creating a variant, is it possible to use "Selection variable = D: Dynamic date calculation"?
I have created a variable for 0calmonth and in the Variant Attributes screen, Selection variable field, the only option is T: Table Variable from TVARVC.
BW version 3.5
Thanks for any information you can provide.

Enable "dynamic date calculation" variable type

When saving reporting date/period in a report variant, we may use "dynamic date calculation" to specific date as selection parameter. But the "Dynamic date calculation" is not visible in some ABAP reports - only "Table Variable from TVARVC" type is available for selection.
For those reports that are missing that variable type, how can we enable the "Dynamic date calculation" variable type to be visible?

Hi Paco:
Yes, they are z-reports, both have the same almost everything, created by the same ABAPer, for the same application SD, just grouping the data differently.
It seems a screen (#100?) is missing, In the old version, it's screen 100 where to activate the "D" and "B" variable types. Now it goes to screen 281.

Dynamic Date Calculation

Hi all,
Currently, i need to run a background PO report daily. As i only want today's PO data everytime the background job runs, i set the PO date dynamically using dynamic date calculation choosing current date, save it as a variant then schedule daily run.
Howerver, for the next run day, the report was ok but subsequent running, the report is not the current date data.
Any idea where i have miss out?
Kindly assist and advise, points will be rewarded.
Regards,
Eric

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I am looking for ways to create a variant with changing date for daily run so that i do not have to daily modify the date.

Dynamic date calculator

Hi all
In Variants we can give dynamic date calculator to calculate date as we required. Does there is a option to add more selection option (ie if I have to add a selection last day of next month). Where I can do this
Please comment
With Regards
Arun

check the LSVAVF01 program for enchancement. or dynamic date selection you can select " nth working day of current month " with calender option to select the last date of month.

Activating dynamic date calculation in variant

Per the link below, I used to be able to activate "dynamic date calculation" in variant.
<link to blocked site removed by moderator>
Our system has been upgraded to 6.0 and now we do not the same variant attribues screen where I can activate the "D" variable. It brings me to program/screen SA38/281.
Any suggestion how I may activate the "D" dynamic date calculation variable in a variant?
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Oct 14, 2011 11:34 AM

Actually I meant the relevant code of your custom report, you just provided me with the info of the standard variant screen.
You can go to SE38, enter your custom report name, display the code, and paste the definition of that parameter. (It would be something like
PARAMETERS: P_DATEHG TYPE XXX_TYPE.
What I am interested in is to know which data type is being used, since this functionaliy will only apply to date type fields. So, bottom line: this field must definitely be a date, which makes me think that either something has changed in the custom report or after the upgrade to ECC 6.0 this data type might have changed as well.
Best regards.

Variant with Dynamic Date Calculation

I have a variant that includes a dynamic date calculation. I'm using the Current day -1 date calculation. Does the dynamic date calcuation use the time zone of the system or the time zone designated on the user id for the calcuation?

time zone of the system.. if you want to use the user time use Sy-timlo

DAX Dynamic Banding | Calculated Member based on Calculated Field

Good morning,
I've created a Power Pivot model that measures the blood glucose levels of clinical patients at specific times of the day. The requirement is that this metric, let's call it GlucoseLevel, is always averaged as it wouldn't make sense to sum up the values.
To meet this first requirement, I set the "Summarize By" property of the GlucoseLevel column to "Average".
The second requirement is to band the GlucoseLevel values so that groups of people can be measured by this band rather than by the individual measure values. I created a banding table in Excel and then imported it into the Power Pivot model. The banding table
has three columns (BandName, MinValue and MaxValue) and has the following values:
VERYLOW: Min Value = 0; Max Value = 3.99
OK: Min Value = 4; Max Value = 6.99
WARNING: Min Value = 7; Max Value = 10.99CRITICAL: Min Value = 11; Max Value = 30.00
It is at this point where I face my challenge. I have a GlucoseLevel measure and I have a banding table. Great. The challenge is: How do I create a calculated, dynamic
member that will look at my GlucoseLevel measure (at whatever level), do a lookup to my banding table, and then return the "BandName" column from the Banding table at that specific level? So to clarify what I mean by level: I want to be able
to view the bandings at Year level, or a Month level, or even at a week level. Then depending on what level I am at, my measure should have a Band associated to it.
I've tried to solve this issue in a couple of ways:
Attempt 1
Create a calculated column in my fact table that contains a nested IF statement to manually band my GlucoseLevel values. This works fine if I view my data at the lowest level of granularity, however
it does not work if I start looking at my data at the day, week, month etc. levels
Attempt 2
1.) Create a calculated field (not a calculated column) that averages my GlucoseLevel measure. This is cool because it will average my measure at whatever level I am viewing it at. Let's call
this field Bob...
2.) Band my measure Bob by creating another calculated field (called PatientBand). This field uses my banding table (described earlier) in conjunction with my calculated field Bob. This works perfectly, except for one big flaw: Excel sees this banding field
as a measure, and not as something that I can use as a column / row...
So my question is: Can I trick Excel into viewing my PatientBand calculated field as an attribute, and not as a measure? And if not, how do I get around this challenge? Here is the DAX formula that I used to create my second calculated field "PatientBand":
PatientBand:=CALCULATE(
VALUES (Bandings[BandName]);
FILTER (
Bandings;
Test[Bob] >= Bandings[MinValue]
&& Test[Bob] <= Bandings[MaxValue]
Thanks!

So there are 2 ways that I can think of for doing that.
1) if you are only using MDX clients like Excel or Reporting services you can create a text based measure that returns the banding name. (Note that this sort of approach does not work at the moment with PowerView as it only displays numeric measures). This
would effectively let you show a label next to a reading as opposed to moving the reading under a given banding column.
Banding Name :=
CALCULATE (
VALUES ( Bands[BandName] ),
FILTER (
Bands,
[Average of GlucoseReading] >= Bands[BandMin]
&& [Average of GlucoseReading] <= Bands[BandMax]
&& NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Average of GlucoseReading] ) )
2) This next approach will show the results exactly as you had them in your sample screenshots. It just takes a slight bending of the DAX. I'm using a SUMX here, not because I want to sum anything, but because the "X" version of SUMX basically loops over
every row in the specified table and sums the expression in the second parameter. I have setup the second parameter so that it only returns a single value for the average if it is in the appropriate banding.
Banded Average:=IF (
HASONEVALUE ( Bands[BandName] ),
SUMX(
'Bands',
IF (
NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Average of GlucoseReading] ) )
&& [Average of GlucoseReading] >= MIN ( Bands[BandMin] )
&& [Average of GlucoseReading] <= MIN ( Bands[BandMax] ),
AVERAGE(Readings[GlucoseReading]),
BLANK()
,AVERAGE(Readings[GlucoseReading])

Date Based Dynamic Member Calculation Performance (MTD, YTD, PeriodsToDate)

I'm working on an SSAS 2012 cube and I have defined several dynamic calculations based on a Date (MTD, YTD, TD, Thru Previous Month, etc.).
The cube has a well defined Date dimension and I have set up a DYNAMIC calculated set in the cube as shown below.
CREATE DYNAMIC SET CURRENTCUBE.[Latest Date]
AS TAIL(EXISTS([Payment Date].[Calendar Date].[Date].Members,[Payment Date].[Calendar Date].CURRENTMEMBER,"Claim Payment"));
... and here is an example of one of my calculations.
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Face Amount Paid MTD]
AS SUM(MTD([Latest Date].ITEM(0).ITEM(0)), [Measures].[Face Amount Paid]),
FORMAT_STRING = "$#,##0.00;-$#,##0.00",
//NON_EMPTY_BEHAVIOR = { [Claim Payment Fact Count] },
VISIBLE = 1 , DISPLAY_FOLDER = 'Face Amount' , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Claim Payment';
This calculation returns the correct results, but performs horribly. I've noticed that changing the [Latest Date] set to STATIC, performance greatly improves, but numbers are no longer accurate as they are based on the Tail of the Claim Payment measure
group without considering the filtered dates. This is because the date is evaluated at process time, but needs to be based on users date selection to be accurate. Therefore, STATIC does not appear to be an option. Is there a better way to
perform this calculation dynamically based on the filtered or unfiltered date dimension?

Typically I would just do YTD/MTD/etc off the date the user has selected. It seems like you want to do it based on the last date with data within the range they have selected. Why not just give the user what they are asking for?
In other words, why not
YTD([Payment Date].[Calendar Date].currentmember)

Direction Needed: Storing calculated values from datagrid column in order to call values into graph

Hi all,
I am new to Flex/Flash Builder, actionscript, and mxml, so please be kind.
I have developed a small program that has a component that displays a datagrid fed with information out of a mysql db via a php data services connection. Within that same component (page), I have a graph that charts the dates via a plot chart. I am interested in adding a line series to the graph, but the data I want to use is a calculated field in the datagrid which I used a custom lable function to derive and display. Can someone steer me to the correct method to store such values and how to call them into a chart?
Some addition information
Custom label function:
/* Custom label function for the Delta1 column. Calculates the number of days between the planting date and 10% flower. */
                              private function calculateTo1stFlower(item:Object, column:GridColumn):String {
                                        var tempDate1:Date = new Date(item.dflower10 - item.dplanting);
                                        return Math.round((tempDate1.time / MS_PER_DAY) + 1).toString();
/* Number of milliseconds in a day. (1000 milliseconds per second * 60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes per hour * 24 hours per day) */
                              private const MS_PER_DAY:uint = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
Within my spark datagrid
<s:GridColumn width="30" headerText="Δ1" labelFunction="calculateTo1stFlower" ></s:GridColumn>
I assume I need to store the array of values for this column and then chart the saved values as the xField within the LineSeries. Should I use a class based model?
The following link seemed like it may be an appropriate path; I am not sure though.

Thanks for trying to post DDL, but you have no idea how to do a data model. You do not know that tables have to have keys, what ISO-11179 is, etc.
You have a table that is supposed to model companies. Your singular names says that there is only one company! There is no company identifier (the industry standard is the DUNS). A customer is not a company. We do not use numeric data types for identifiers;
do you do math on them? NO! The attribute property comes after the attribute name (you never heard of ISO-11179).
Think about how silly VARCHAR(1) is.
CREATE TABLE Companies
(company_duns CHAR(9) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
company_name VARCHAR(30)NOIT NULL,
margin_oil INTEGER NOT NULL,
margin_hangar INTEGER NOT NULL,
margin_cleaning INTEGER NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO Companies
VALUES (1, 'AviatKorea', 100, 125, 200),
(2, 'AXHollande', 50, 40, 30),
(3, 'BFXNorway', 60, 80, 600),
(4, 'EEEFrance', 10, 25, 60);
CREATE TABLE Company_Tariffs
(company_duns INTEGER NOT NULL
REFERENCES Companies(company_duns),
tariff_type CHAR(1) NOT NULL
CHECK (tariff_type IN ('A','B','C','D'),
PRIMARY KEY (company_duns, tariff_type));
INSERT INTO Company_Tariffs values (1, 'A'), (2, 'C'), (2, 'D'), (3, 'A'), (4, 'A'), (4, 'C'), (4, 'D')
SELECT * -- do not use * in production code
FROM Companies AS C,
Company_Tariffs AS T
WHERE C.company_duns = T.company_duns;

Prob. in Executing dynamic stored procedure inside a function where S.P....

Hi,
My Stored Procedure is
create or replace procedure concatname(a varchar2,
b varchar2,
c out varchar2)
as
begin
c := a || b;
end;
My Function is
create or replace function ex(sp varchar2)
return varchar2 as
v varchar2(100);
begin
execute immediate 'begin '||sp||'(''test'','' procedure'',:o); end;'
using out v;
return v;
end;
Iam using PowerBuilder 8 as a FRONT END Tool ( connecting to ORACLE db - 10gR2 through ODBC driver) for executing the above function where i will pass the stored procedure name ( CONCATNAME ) as an argument.
The function is executing fine when i execute through ISQL interface.
While executing this function from the front end tool( POWER BUILDER ) iam getting the following error.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
I dont know, why this error is coming ? As the function is executing fine
through ISQL ?
I think this error will come if you execute the above function from any front
end tool( like .Net etc. ).
Can anybody help me ? How to avoid this error ( ORA-03113 ) ?
For Your Information: All other simple functions are executing fine through POWER BUILDER in my application.

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel is a client driver error. It is a symptom of a problem - it is not the problem itself.
This error message simply says that your client was still talking to the database service process servicing your client session, when that (TCP/IP socket) connection was unexpectedly torn down by the server.
This is often caused by that database service process crashing due to an internal (ORA-0600) error - and taking the TCP/IP connection down with it.
You need to ask your DBA to have a look at the alert log file for the Oracle instance. The crash will be recorded there. In addition a trace file should have been created.
Using the 1st parameter of the ORA-0600 message for the crash in the alert log file, the DBA should lookup the possible causes of the crash on Metalink note 153788.1

Hi,
I always find a post by John Booth's a useful guidance when you are wanting to run calculations with dates, have a read at :- Calculations with dates
If you are using Version 11 you also have a look at the new date functions e.g. @DATEDIFF - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/calc_datediff.htm
