EPMA for Planning & HFM
Hi All,
I have a requirement where by I have to create Dimensions for HFM and Planning via EPMA. Now my question is how do i do it?
I used the EPMA generator excel facility to generate a ADS file to be loaded to EPMA. But now it carries all the properties which planning application carries. Now since most of the members and dimensions are same on HFM I want to share those members across applications.
But would I have to set the properties on HFM manually or do I have a way to import the file for HFM as well.
If so does it mean I have to import it twice?
Please let me know your views and suggestions or alternatives on the same?
Cheers
HI Graham,
I have a question here. I have an ADS file which is for HFM which I load and it loads to the master library. Now for planning I have another ADS with planning set of of properties and with different hierarchy as I have in HFM.
How do I solve this issue through import as it overwrites the existing hierarchy. Is that the application view for HFM and Planning needs to be created manually? Also how does the properties like dynamic calc and other planning attributes show up ?
Cheers

Hardware recommendations for Planning & HFM
We currently have Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 running on three servers (one dedicated for RDBMS, one dedicate for Essbase, and another that is running everything else (EPMA, Planning, Financial Reporting, Shared Services, Workspace, Calc Manager, etc).
We are going to implementing HFM and upgrading to 11.1.2 for our current components and I have reviewed the server sizing for 500 users (175 active) for Planning and HFM. I was wondering if anyone had any experience running both Planning and HFM together and if I need to bump up the server specs for anything to run both smoothly?
The EPMA Installation Start Here recommends the following for Planning for Windows Servers:
Web Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
Essbase Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 8 GB RAM
Other Services Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
RDBMS Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
And recommends for HFM:
Web Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
Financial Management Server: 8 x 3 GHZ + 16 GB RAM
Other Services Server: 2 x 3 GHZ + 8 GB RAM
RDBMS: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
The Essbase server for Planning will be dedicated, and the Financial Management Server for HFM will be dedicated, but if we wanted to share the Web Server and Other Services Server for both Planning and HFM, do you think we need to size these servers a bit more robustly to handle both HFM and Planning?
We are looking at 8 x 2.66 GHZ with 32 GB of memory for our Web Server, Other Services Server and Financial Management Server (essbase and RDBMS are sized fine for now), so I just wanted to get some input from the community before we make the recommendation to go ahead with that hardware.
Thanks!Depending upon your Essbase/Planning Application you might need to increase the Ram. Remember you plan the architecture for 3 - 5 years in mind. Its a good practice to have variable like number of users increase per year, new applications, evolving data-set etc into consideration.
In one of the post, one of the expert suggested to have 2Gb per essbase application.

If I create a planning app in EPMA, can I bypass EPMA for building dimensions and just use Essbase load rules to build the dimensions?
JzJust to expand
The metadata is stored in the Planning/EPMA relational database and when you do a refresh database .... your essbase metadata... e.g dimensions gets overwritten

Using common shared services for Planning & HFM
Hi All,
I've already installed Planning and shared services in one server. Now i would like to install HFM on other server, but would like to use the shared services on the first server. In this case, during the installation on the second server, do i need to uncheck the Foundation services ? What other products that i've to uncheck. How about Reporting & Analysis Framework ? Pls. advice
Thanks,
PVRYou will need to only carry out the following step in regards to foundation on the HFM server
"When you configure in a distributed environment, you must configure the Shared Services database on every machine. On the first machine, you are setting up the Shared Services Registry. For configurations on subsequent machines, choose “Connect to a previously configured Shared Services database.” In this case, you are letting the machine know the location of the Shared Services Registry."
Then configure the HFM components.
Cheers

Planning & HFM Certifications - Advice Appreciated
Hello All – For those on the board that are certified Hyperion professionals (Planning and HFM). I’d really appreciate your input as to the value of these certifications both from the perspective of
1) Getting onto projects
2) Being able to perform on the project. Does studying for and completing the certification provide you with the skills to be successful on projects.
I’ve currently been using Planning since 3.0 but don’t have the certification. My knowledge is functional - not a developer.
I’m also looking at getting the HFM certification as well but have never used this tool so I’m wondering if it’s worth getting since I’d like to get onto these types of project.
I do have an accounting background and understand consolidation etc.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.Hi,
I will agree with that point only in 50%.
You are talking about 3 different situations:
1. When You are a technical administrator
2. When You are a business administrator or a Planning/HFM user
3. The most important: when You are a consultant
You can use planning or HFM for 5 years and have no knowledge about the system.
I see that kind of situation when I go to customers (accontants,managers and so on) and they have no idea how exactly system is working. In example what is the difference between Contribution Total and Parent Total. How to put data correctly. How to set correct POV.
Study for cert gives You a huge knowlegde and understanding how system is designed.
I'm not saying that it gives You everything. I'm saying that it really helps You to understand the system.
If you have such kind of possibility try to prepare Yourself for cert.
regards
Karol

Planning, HFM Problem throught Worspace
Hi,
I was intalled the Hperion Planning, HFM (both 9.3.1) in my server(windows 2003) and the Sharedservices & Workspace 9.3.1 also on the same server and deployed with Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3.1, I am able to open the workspace but while trying to create planning application or trying to open HFM application I am getting the error like
Please make sure that the Application you are trying to launch is registered with SharedServices.Shared Services must be running for the feature you are trying to access.Close the current browser window and try logging into workspace again after a little while.Contact your administrator for further information.
I have created the Projects undre the SharedServices and given the sufficiante privialges.
Please help on this. Thanks in advance.
Regards
KumarKHi,
Try starting up just the following services
Hyperion S9 OpenLDAP
Hyperion S9 Shared Services
Hyperion S9 Apache 2.0
Hyperion S9 Planning
Hyperion S9 BI+ 9.3 Core Services 1
Hyperion S9 BI+ 9.3 Workspace
And maybe the essbase service, then try logging into the workspace and accessing planning, do you still get the message ?

Use the BAPI : BAPI_PLANNEDORDER_CHANGE
Or use the function module MD_SET_ACTION_PLAF for Schedule planned order.
and the transaction MDAC Execute action for planned order
This function module includes the following actions:
Explode BOM
Explode BOM, check availability
Check availability, only explode BOM in the case of a requirement
Check availability, do not explode BOM
Reset availability
Change planned order data
Schedule planned order
Delete planned order
Assign the key for the respective action control to the materials in the material master (MRP 4 view).
Please refer this thread,

Variance report for planned vs actual 261
Hi Experts,
Is there a variance report for planned v/s actual raw material consumption for an order when the order is still running? I mean when only the partial quantities are confirmed (PCNF, PDLV)?
Regards,
SachinHi,
Always the plannig is done for ordered quantity and the actual quantity is what actually used.
Pl. use T code CO02/CO03 - Goto - Cost Analysysis, you will get the details which you are looking for. If the layout doesn't suits your requirement, change layout with change options.

Questions on Commands for planning application
Hi,
1. Where can i get the information on commands for planning functions?
2. What is the difference between
---Execute planning function simple and -
Execute planning function
3. I create planning layout with few buttons
a. Copy: I clicked on the copy button and can see the data in the layout
b. Save: Clicked on the save icon, Data saved into the planning cube
c. Change. : clicked on the change and changed few values and then clicked on SAVE button. Data got saved into my planning cube.
Now I my requirement is when user open the planning layout, It should only be in display mode. But currently automatically all the keyfigures are in change mode (Is it because in query designer, I checked "Start query in the change mode?)
When user opens the planning layout, he should run the copy function, then should save the data into the planning cube and then should be allowed to chagne. Change button should be in active until data is saved into the plannigng cube. IS this possible?
Thanks
AnnieHi Deepthi,
Thanks for your reply.
I did as you mentioned and its working as expected.
User wants something like this
1. Execute the planning layout.
2. Click on the copy function
3. Save the data
4. Click on the change button so that data can be changed now.
As per your solution, without have change button its working perfectly. But now i want to have change button on the layout. Initially change button should be disabled. When i save the data then it should get active.
I did the following things but didnt work
1. Save button i have two commands
a. Save data
b. Set_item_parameters
2. Change button> disable>set_data_entry_mode.
After executing the layout. I could copy the data and save it. BUT after saving it change button is not getting active.
I think i did do something in save button (B). I just mentioned button group but didnt mention the change button. Can you please help me?
Thanks

Dear S&OP community,
I am getting following error while creating a planning ares in a newly installed sandbox. "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level".
This what I did...
1) Created new attributes and master data objects and activated them successfully.
2) Time profile created and activated successfully
3) Trying to create planing area by assigning time profile in step 2 and assigned master data from step1..Unable to save the data and system returns
this error - "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"
My understanding is time profile needs to be active but doesn't have to have values...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
KrishnaYS,
Here are my time profile settings
Level Name Display Horizon - Past Display Horizon - Future
1 Monthly -6 11
2 Quarterly -2 3
3 Yearly -1 2
Time profile is active and but time profile data is not loaded
