Error "Parent Member is found in dimension from selection"

Hi,
while running the export transaction data package we are getting the error " Parent Member is found in Dimension from selection".
We cannot manually select each member as there are around 64K records which will have to manually selected. Is there a work around for the same?
Regards
Varun

Hi Varun,
The first thing is that if you are using the standard export DM package, then you should not be able to select any parent members. If you look at the advanced script of this package, the first statement will be SELECTINPUT. This will restrict the selection only to base level members. Technically, you should not select the parent members, because, the parent lelve members doesnt hold any data.
Hope this helps.

Remove access for each member of a particular dimension from Hyperion Planning Applciation

We are trying to remove access for groups for each member of a particular dimension( which has more than 1000 members) of a Hyperion Planning application. We are going through Administration->Manage DImensions -> member , Under security click view and select the group and then remove access But the problem is there are more than 1000 members under this dimension , so it will be time consuming to go to each member and then remove access for the group. Is there any other way we can do this?
Also is there a way to bulk delete native directory groups from Hyperion Shared services, instead of deleting each native group manually one by one?

The reaso we want to go for Relational tables is that when we did Exportsecurity utility for that planning application and imported back the SecFile.txt without doing any changes ,still it errored out giving errors like :
"The following access not imported:-"PLN-ORG-0278-999 Bureau Strtgc & Oprtnl ""PLNning",0278-999,READWRITE,MEMBER due toInvalid user name found in the file."
It is erroing out even if we did not do any modifications to the secfile.txt.
Moreover there are more than 1000 members for which we have to remove access permissions manually one by one. It is a tedious process.
So we are looking at other options like , which relational tables have got Native directory groups information, and the sql queires we can execute to remove the unwanted Native directory groups from Shared Services?

BPC75NW: Error Loading Master data for BPC Dimensions from BW InfoObject

Hello Gurus,
I'm trying to load master data for BPC Dimensions from BW Infoobjects.
The ID thats used in BW is 32 char long. When I run the load, the ID is truncated after 20 chars and the records are reported as duplicates.
Due to this the load is failing.
I cannot use any other ID as the texts will not be loaded in that case.
Is there any work around to handle this?
I cannot load the transaction data either.
I looked at some posts and blogs in sdn, but nothing really helped.

Thanks Everyone.
" you can write a transformation file and give a new name to those IDs who have values more than 20 characters."
Poonam - Could you explain more?
I tried using a additional Dimension property to hold the 32 char ID. But I cannot access this in the transformation.
Is there a way to refer the dimension property in the Transformation file or in the UJD_ROUTINE BADI implementation?
Thanks,

Error -43 file not found when exporting from QT Pro 7.5

I get the error -43 (a file could not be found) when trying to export into any format from within Quicktime Pro 7.5 (861) which i believe is the most current version. I also cannot perform a simple "save as" to save my video into another name, i dont get an error message for that one, but it just doesnt do anything. Im not sure if there is any point placing this on this forum, but maybe someone at Apple is interested in offering a little support...?

OK so i found the solution myself - seems apple programmers have been not doing their jobs properly, to get this working the file name of the video that i want exported cannot be anything other than in 8.3 format (like old MS-DOS) but it's more than that, even if you do have the file in 8.3 format it still cant be in a directory that has a name longer than 8 characters, or which has spaces in it etc. so in my case i copied my video to c:\temp and renamed all of them to the old MS-DOS 8.3 format, now the export works... amazing I wonder how long i would have waited for apple support if i hadnt resolved this myself.

SSIS is not running in 64 bit production server - Error Class cannot be found while running from c# web application

Full error message:
An Integration Services class cannot be found. Make sure that Integration Services is correctly installed on the computer that is running the application. Also, make sure that the 64-bit version of Integration Services is installed if you are running a 64-bit
application
I have developed SSIS package in my development machine where the OS is 64 bit and sql server 2012 is installed.
The package has excel source and oledb destination. Excel files can be both .xls and .xlsx format. Since i want to run both xls and xlsx format i have installed
32 bit Microsoft Acess database engine form the below link, then both xls and xlsx format worked.
.xls - 32 bit
.xlsx - 32 bit and 64 bit is available. So in common i have to run it in 32 bit.
I have set Run64BitRuntime to False and ran package. it is working fine. I cannot set Run64BitRuntime to True and run the packages. Because i have office products installed on my machine which is 32 bit. if try to install 64 bit Microsoft Acess
database engine redistributable pacakage from below link , it is throwing error saying that, already office 32 bit product is installed so uninstall 32 bit product and install 64 bit.
Excel connection string is Ace database engine only. everything works fine.

Now i am trying to invoke package from c# code by using Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll and it is also working fine in my dev machine.
When i deploy the web application in production am getting the error while invoking package. the full error message is posted in 1st line of this thread.
Then i tried to execute the package in production server by using dtexec utility, it is working fine. I tried both 32 bit and 64 bit dtexec utility by going to specific path (program files(x86) and Program files) via command prompt.
It is all working fine. So the error coming when i invoke from web application. My guess is ManagedDTS causing problem.
Where can i find 64 bit Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll
or is it because of any other problem. i have checked below links, still problem not resolved.

1) "I have set Run64BitRuntime to False and ran package" -> this is not valid outside of your development environment, it is made for simulation purposes as all the dev tools are 32 Bit
2) "Where can i find 64 bit Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll " is basically SSIS. It is quite possibly the culprit. I am inclined to think you attempt to run the package where there no SSIS installed.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.

Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.

Hi Milena,
The report is in session so you don't want to dispose of it. Only when you are done with the report then close it and dispose.

How to hide member Account dimension from BPC Administrator for Reporting

Hi experts, i need to hide some members of the Account dimension for reporting, because those members dont use it anymore, but i dont want delete them.
The question is: Does it exist any propierties for this dimension type that allows hiding members in reporting without set members in the BPC for Excel?
I can create a report which contain the members i want to show, but if any change occurs (client desire) the report is outdated.
Thank you in advance
Ignacio Vazquez

Ignacio,
There is no function like that.
You can choose below two options.
1. Create a property like 'NOUSE' and set a value 'Y' for unused member
When you create EVDRE report, set a filter against that property that has value 'N'
then those members will not be shown at the report.
2. Create 'NOUSE' parent member and put members under this parent member.
Maybe option 1 is more easier to do that.
I hope it will help you

Error 7: File not found occurs in 8.2 from transition of 4.1. Specifying the file in file dialog returns error although file is in the directory.

Copied a program from 4.1 to 8.2 recently and receive an error 7: File not found at open file+.vi. The program is built so a file dialog will pop up and ask for the destination of the file. Eventhough there is a file in the specified directory, an error is returned. Running open file+.vi by itself returns no error with the same file designation. Any clues?

noviceak,
Welcome to the NI Discussion Forums.
I created a quick VI in LabVIEW 4.1 that displays a file dialog and then passes that file path to "Read Characters from File.vi" (which in turn calls Open File+.vi). I then opened this file in LabVIEW 8.2 and ran it successfully (see code screenshot below).
When you say there is a file in the specified directory are you using the file dialog to browse to the directory or to select the specific file? Open File+.vi expects the path to a file rather than a directory - that is C:\folder\file.txt rather than C:\folder. You might also want to create an indicator or probe to see what path is being passed to Open File+ to ensure it is what you expect.
I feel like I should also say that in the days (years) inbetween LabVIEW 4.1 and 8.2 the file operation VIs have changed significantly. While the old Open File+.vi still lives in vi.lib for compatibility purposes we no longer recommend using it for new applications.
I hope this helps and again, welcome to the community.

How can I create a dimension member formulas involving parent member?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to learn BPC- Planning and I've got the following issue:
Behind each key figure is a calculated formula which will not be calculated in the aggregated parent member ( Energie Kosten). It's a IF formula based on percentage. As far as I understood it's not possible in BPC NW 10. to store values at parent level and parent member doesn't aggreagte child values that are calculated members. What can I do to solve the problem? The only solution will be the logic scripts?
Any input is appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Vadim,
thank your for your answear.
Here it's my formula:
IIF([KENNZAHL].[S_PSTROM] = 0 , [KENNZAHL].[E_PSTROM] ,[KENNZAHL].[S_PSTROM] * ([KENNZAHL].[BELGES] *[KENNZAHL].[TAGEMON] ))
where: S_PSTROM = percentage key figure
         E_PSTROM = manual input key figure
         BELGES = allocation
         TAGEMON= days per month
The formula is used to calculate the energy. If there are adjustments used then will be calculated using the percentage if there are no adjustment needed that should take automatically the manually entered values.
It's used only a hierarchy- PARENTH1. And only the dimension without calculated members are calculated in nodes.
Thank you a lot!

Have upgraded to 6.0.2 on my MacBook and get error message "Server Not Found" everytime i use Firefox; however, if i then click on my Gmail or other sites from bookmark toolbar it connects. means an extra step and that never happened before

when i first click on Firefox the URL: www.27yhbnhy6tfgvrbcfre3.com shows up and the error message "Server not Found". but i can connect to any website by just clicking on a bookmark from the toolbar (or typing in a url). this never happened with previous versions of Firefox

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:

Call SAP function from VB - Structure member not found " unknown "

Hello,
(I don't know if this is the appropriate forum, but I didn't find any which seem to match my topic ...)
I use the following VB code to call the SAP function ARCHIV_PROCESS_RFCINPUT:
    Dim bapiControl As SAPBAPIControl
    Dim logonControl As SAPLogonControl
    Dim functions As SAPFunctions
    Set bapiControl = New SAPBAPIControl
    Set logonControl = New SAPLogonControl
    Set functions = New SAPFunctions
    Set bapiControl.Connection = logonControl.NewConnection
    ' do login
    Set functions.Connection = bapiControl.Connection
    Dim myFunction As SAPFunctionsOCX.Function
    Set myFunction = functions.Add("ARCHIV_PROCESS_RFCINPUT")
    Dim myStructure As SAPFunctionsOCX.Structure
    Set myStructure = functions.CreateStructure("OARFCIN")
    ' the following values are just examples
    myStructure("ARCHIV_ID") = "01"
    myStructure("ARC_DOC_ID") = "1234567890123457890"
    myStructure("AR_OBJECT") = "TIF"
    myStructure("DOC_TYPE") = "FIIINVOICE"
    myStructure("BARCODE") = "1"
    myFunction.Exports("DOCUMENT_ENTRY") = myStructure
At this point execution stops with the following error message:
Err.Number: 1006
Err.Description: Structure member not found "<unknown>"
Err.Source: wdtfuncs
What is wrong? The function ARCHIV_PROCESS_RFCINPUT needs one input parameter called "DOCUMENT_ENTRY" which is of type OARFCIN ...
ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT, which has only Strings as input parameters (no structures), works fine ...
I tried all variations I could think of:
myStructure.Value("ARCHIV_ID") = G_csDefaultRepository
instead of myStructure("ARCHIV_ID") = G_csDefaultRepository
declaring bapiControl, logonControl and functions as Object, and instanciating them with CreateObject(...)
myFunction.Exports(0).Insert "DOCUMENT_ENTRY", myStructure
instead of myFunction.Exports("DOCUMENT_ENTRY") = myStructure
(which gave me a "Collection member not found" error) ...
Nothing worked ...
What is wrong with this code??
Thanks for help!

Steffi

Hi Ralf,
try substituting following code:
' the following values are just examples
myStructure("ARCHIV_ID") = "01"
myStructure("ARC_DOC_ID") = "1234567890123457890"
myStructure("AR_OBJECT") = "TIF"
myStructure("DOC_TYPE") = "FIIINVOICE"
myStructure("BARCODE") = "1"
myFunction.Exports("DOCUMENT_ENTRY") = myStructure
with that one:
Set myStructure = myFunction.Exports("DOCUMENT_ENTRY")
' the following values are just examples
myStructure.Fields("ARCHIV_ID") = "01"
myStructure.Fields("ARC_DOC_ID") = "1234567890123457890"
myStructure.Fields("AR_OBJECT") = "TIF"
myStructure.Fields("DOC_TYPE") = "FIIINVOICE"
myStructure.Fields("BARCODE") = "1"
Let me know!
Enjoy!!

Call failed. Error: An unexpected 'PrimitiveValue' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'StartObject' node was expected.

Hi All,
I am trying to add a new task to a Tasks list called CATasks. The list was created via Visual Studio “Add > New Item > List” process and not by custom code. The code I am using to add a task is shown below.
What I have noticed is if I use my code to add a Task to a Task List created by Visual studio “Add > New Item > List” process, I get an error. Error message when adding an item:
Call failed. Error: An unexpected 'PrimitiveValue' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'StartObject' node was expected.
But if I create the same list using custom code I don't get an error.
Am I missing something in my custom code or is this a bug?
I hope you can help.

Script cast member not found

Can anyone tell me why the %^$& I get a "script cast
member not found"
error?
I've been working in Director for 17 years and I get this
from time to time.
I generally just copy the code from the behavior, paste it
into a new
behavior, name the new one the same as the old on, then copy
the new cast
member over the old one and it solves it. But it happened
rarely enough
that I didn't bother questioning why. I know it's not a
syntax error
because the code runs fine after the above process. But it
does only
happens when I've made a change to the code in that behavior.
Now I'm working with a simple movie with one parent script
and a
prepareMovie handler that instantiates one child object and
I'm getting this
darn error all the time. My above solution isn't working
anymore. The
error points to the first line of a particular handler. That
first line was
a comment. So I got rid of the comment and the new first line
of the
handler is code and the error points to it. If you see where
I'm headding,
no matter how many lines of "errored" code I get rid of the
error alert will
always point to the first line of that handler.
I'm sure many have seen this because it's happened in almost
every version
of Director I've owned. And by the way, I'm in MX on a PC.

Dean, I might do that. No, this has been going on long enough
that I sure
it's not any definable user error.
But, I did, after all of these years, discover something last
night. In one
case, I did get a legitimate script error that I fixed. When
I ran the
project again, I received the same script error, even though
it was a simple
fix and I was sure I corrected it. I recompiled several times
and ran it
again and received the error again. Then it dawned on me that
since parent
scripts remain in memory until disposed of, Director must
have been, for
some reason, referring to the old parent script. I had
already set the
object's global variable to 0 in my stopMovie handler and
even though that
handler might not always run when errors occur, I ran it from
the message
window to insure that the object's global was 0. But that
still didn't
solve the problem. Then I used clearGlobals in the message
window and
voila, the issue went away. Dare I say that this is a
shortcoming of
Lingo's design to allow variables to persist/linger after an
error?
But what still baffles me is that most of the time when I get
that
particular error,, even though I seemed to have found a
workaround, it is
not an actual issue with any code.
When it happens again, I'll send you the code. Obviously, if
I'm correct
about the scripts lingering in memory, then you won't receive
the error when
you run the movie.
I just find it interesting that there haven't been a bunch of
"Yeah, I get
that darn thing too" here.
