Extract dimension member in 11.1.2.0 hyperion planning

Hi there,
Can you please help me on this.
We are using |Hyperion planning 11.1.2.0.0.
I need to extract my all entity dimensions members which has attributes attached with them.
There i no extraction tool in this version.
Is it possible to use mdx query ? if yes can you please help me with some hints.
Thanks

Have a read of http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/stupid-planning-queries-9-entity_3054.html
Alternatively you could have a look at using the essbase outline extractor.

How to migrate dimension member text files from ODI to Hyperion Planning

Hi
We are having an issue with ODI that it was not connecting to planning.
Later with some instructions from oracle, we have tried to set some RMI path in websphere and we tested the RMI connectivity test.
It was successfully connecting to planning.
Then we want to test that ODI is connecting to planning or not.
For this I think if anyone can send the doc relating to dimension member upload thru ODI to hyperion planning using text files, it will be helpful.
Appreciate if anyone can help us on this.
Please communicate to [email protected] for doc sending.
Thanks
Rajesh Reddy

Go through His(John's) earlier blogs which very clearly explains how to get connected & keep the ball rolling.
If you're so scared to use the existing connections, you may want to-
i) Set up new Master & work repository;
ii) Do few quick configurations from Topology Manager;
iii) Create your project, models, Interface;
Let us know if something isn't still clear.

Dimension Member

Hi All,
I am having an issue with one dimension member which is not accepting any data from the dataform. So if the users try to submit a number it just goes back to zero. I tried copying data from another member and that works but if I try to again delete/update the number it again doesn't happen. I also check the property of the dimension member and it is no different from other dimension members.
The application is on Hyperion Planning 9.3.0.1.
Thanks in advance,
Amol

From the DBAG
Understanding Implied Sharing
The shared member property defines a shared data relationship explicitly. Some members are shared even if you do not explicitly set them as shared. These members are said to be implied shared members.
Essbase assumes (or implies) a shared member relationship in the following situations:
A parent has only one child.
A parent has only one child that consolidates to the parent.

Which table containes dimension member names in planning database

I want know which table in Planning database contains dimension member names. I have tried looking at the HSP_ACCOUNT and HSP_ENTITY tables but those have member IDs only and not the member names.
Any help on this please

Might be worth having a look at http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/stupid-planning-queries-9-entity_3054.html and the related posts on extracting planning metadata.

How to get the ID of a dimension member in script logic?

Hi everybody,
I am working in some logic scripts and I wonder if exists any option to get the current member ID of a dimension in order to concatenate a string using the member referred and an additional set of caracters such as: MEMBER_ID&"_ccccc".
Moreover, I would like to use this ID dimension member in order to filter members of another dimension whose attribute is equal to the ID of the desired member. Is it feasible?
In conclusion, is it possible to get a variable which is referred to a member ID of a dimension, and using it in order to filtering other dimensions?
Many thanks in advance,
Antonio

Hi Antonio,
You ask if it is possible compare a dimension id with a property value.. yes it is posible , for doing that you will have to do something like this,
*FOR %ACC1%=ThisA,ThisB,ThisC
      *WHEN DIMENSION.PROPERTY=%ACC1%
              *REC(............)
       *ENDWHEN
*NEXT
if you want to concatenate using a filter theres a posibility, like this example using the time dimension.
*xdim_memberset time=%year%.jan -
>2011.jan
hope it helps

Error: Invalid dimension member with special character / in BPC NW 7.5 SP7

Hi experts,
We are encountering the following problem in our Financial Planning application.
We are migrating our existing BPC solution from one server to another through backup and restore. The existing solution was on BPC NW 7.5 SP 5. The profit_centre dimension in the existing solutions has several member ids with special character '/' (forward slash). The dimension never threw an error when processed in the existing solution and there is planning transactional data against these member ids.
While the entire configration , appset , files were successfully restored through UJBR on the new system (BPC 7.5 SP7) through UJBR (backup and restore), the masterdata could not be restored only for this Profit_centre (masterdata for other dimensions were processed successfullu). All the member ids with / are rejected for this dimension. The same error is thrown if processed through the admin client from the member sheet.
Error: Dimension member PC_FF/WS/NT is an invalid member ID
Error in Admin module
Is there any setting which need to be made to allow / character in member ids? Any suggestion to get around this problem would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Abhiman

Hi Abhiman,
Yes, you need to maintain the transformation file to correct all dimension member IDs. Can you please refer to the following link with a similar issue:

How to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS

hi,
would any one please help me how to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS
THANK U IN ADVANCE

In your OLAP model, view columns for the base dimension table. Go into the column properties and for the columns that have Attribute values highlight them and click the Attribute button.
Go into Metadata Model and those fields will be available to drag into your outline as attribute members.
Once in the outline, go into the properties of the attribute and assign the level of the base dimension they associate with.

Reading data from a text file into PAS - Dimension member names truncated

Hi,
I created a procedure to dump variables and data into a text file to load into another model. I used a semicolon as a field seperator.
The data, measures and dimension members are dumped properly into a text file and no dimension member names are truncated .
However when I read the data into a measure, and I issue a peek command, dimension meber names are read in truncated
and remain full names in the text file. Any reason for this? What do I need to do to prevent this from happening?
THanks.
Lungile

Hi Lungile,
The problem that you're likely having is that you haven't created a file description for the file from which you're reading. When loading data into Application Server from a text file, you would normally go through three steps:
1. Enter the ACCESS EXTERNAL subsystem
2. Specify the name of the file to be read
3. Specify the format of the file field names, types, widths, and positions.
If you go into the Application Server help, select "Application Server Help", then "Application Server at the command level", then "Variables and reading in data", and then "Reading an external file", you will have the process of the steps you need to follow outlined for you, including links to the help topic for each command you need to issue.
So what I think you need to do is use the DESCRIPTION command to specify the names of your fields, their type, and also their width, in order to ensure no truncation of data on the load.
The same DESCRIPTION statement is required if you want to use your text file as the source of a dimension.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Error selecting a dimension member in BPC EPM report - The given key was not present in the dictionary

Hi,
We are currently running SAP BPC 10.1 NW on Hana
Version:
CPMBPC 810 SP 4
SAP_BW 740 SP 9
HANABPC 810 SP 4
EPM Excel Add-in 10 SP 21 .NET 4 build 9094.
On my embedded model. I have a BEX query on a aggregation level which I access in a report using the EPM Add-in Excel .
When I edit my report in EPM Add-in Excel , and I try to select the dimension members for a selected dimension member, I get the following error.
"The given key was not present in the dictionary"
Any assistance to help resolve the problem will be appreciated.
Regards
Gavin

Hi Shrikant,
I had a look at MBR_SEQ , it is a attribute on the dimension member in BW , this relates to a past version of BPC 7.5. We are currently on BPC 10.1 Embedded model , and the MBR_SEQ does not exist on any of the characteristics I have in my info cube.
When I create a web report I am able to access the dimension members using the select dimensions options, the problem seems to be on the EPM Add-in Excel client only.
Thanks

Why to open Block only with Dense dimension Member ???

Hi All,
I want to understand the logic behind opening the block with dense member. Generally we open the block with member of dense dimension by fixing the sparse members
e.g. below considering C1, P1,Working,Actual are members of sparse dimension customer, product, Version, Scenario.
Fix(C1,P1,Working,Actual)
Jan
IF(Some condition)
Calculation on Account Member
ENDIF
Now if i change the code as below making Jan in FIX and opening the block with Actual. How it will affect the performance. The Number of iterations in total number of datacells will be same in bothe cases above and below then why to give priority to dense dimension member for opening the block.
Fix(C1,P1,Working,Jan)
Actual
IF(Some condition)
Calculation on Account Member
ENDIF
ENDFIX
I know the logic behind keeping sparse dimension member in FIX but here i think keeping 'Actual' member for opening the block is also a type of fix which will tell the code to do the calculation only for blocks of 'Actual'.
In 1st case i have fixed the number of blocks containing members C1,P1,Working,Actual and by keeping Jan for opening block means Jan is also fixed for the particular application means code will not run for feb march etc.
Means code will run for C1->P1->Working>Actual->Jan
In 2nd case also i have fixed C1,P1,Working,Jan and by keeping Actual for opening block means Actual is also fixed for the particular application means code will not run for other members of Scenarion dimension.
Means code will run for C1->P1->Working>Jan->Actual
Then what is the difference??? Why it will effect performance???

when using an IF statement in a calc script you have to specify a member to associate it with for the calc member block. This is like temporarily assigning it to that member as a formula in the outline. In most cases calculations on dense dimensions can work faster as the block is in memory. Remember that a block statement can have multiple calculation statements in it. When this occurs, having the calculations on a dense member can speed it up as it may not have to swap blocks to do the calculation.
Also consider that if a sparse combination of members does not exist, the block will not exist and there will be no attempt to do the calculations. If a sparse member is on the calc member block, it will cycle through all of the sparse members looking to do the calculation.

How to export data from Elimination Value dimension member by HAL HFM adapter?

Good day! Is it possible to export HFM 4.0.5 data with HAL from the <Elimination> Value dimension member? In 3.* versions it wasn't and there is Known Issue in the "HFM 3.* Adapter Read Me" file: "The Hyperion Financial Management Adapter exports data using the <entity currency> Value dimension member. The documentation erroneously states that there is a port available for the Value dimension" But there is not such point in the same file for HFM 4.0.5 AND there is Value port in the HFM 4.0.5. Adapter. Thanks! Regards, Georgy 

In the first approch, try to change the exporting parameter type REF TO DATA.

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?

Use short description on OLAP dimension member in disco for OLAP

Hi All,
I've noticed in the spreadsheet add-in you can decide under "query options" whether to use the Long or Short Description when displaying a dimension member. How do you do the same in discoverer PLUS for OLAP ? I cant find it anwhere.
Cheers,
Brandon

This feature is not available in Disco :-( Logged as an enhancement request.

Creating UDA for a dimension member

Hi All,
when I am creating UDA for a dimension member in my planning application I get the following error.
The associated dimension ID has not been set for this property. Do you want to create the association now?
Can anyone please let me knwo wahts this error?
Thanks

I take this is an EPMA application, you have to create dimension association between the UDA property and the UDA dimension.
Have a read of :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_admin/epma_create_assoc.html

Performance issue:Show id and Description for same dimension member

Hi,
I am connecting a cube to another reporting system and i need to show the id of member resulting of a query.My first thought was to use this kind of code (bellow) however when i do the same thing with many dimension (many cross join ),it slow down a lot
my query.So how can i have in the same DImension member showing a description and id ? I also have a lot of statement,so i can't have just two columns in the dimension or i will need to duplication the mdx and i could drop down the performance.
So i am trying to get as a result
Dim1 | Dim2| Dim3| Measure
1 50
32 25.2
and also be able to get
Dim1 | Dim2 | Dim3
| Measure
NameElement1Dim1 NameElement50Dim2
NameElement32Dim3 25.2
Thanks in advance
with MEMBER [Measures].[IdElement] as
<element>.currentmember.properties("KEY")
select
CROSSJOIN({[Measures].[IdElement]},{[METRIC].[Description].[All]}),
CROSSJOIN({[Measures].[value]},{<listmetricmdx>})
} on columns,
<pointofview>
<element_and_function>
<TimeBreakdown>
} on rows
<list_filter_clause>
) as list
where ((ElementName is null AND IdElement=0) OR (ElementName is not null))
<list_condition_metric>
but i have multiple

Hi Vincent,
In your query, you use CrossJoin in it. Crossjoin function will cause the performance issue if there are a lot of properties that need to be displayed. If you cross-join medium-sized or large-sized sets (e.g., sets that contain more than 100 items each),
you can end up with a result set that contains many thousands of items—enough to seriously impair performance. For the detail information, please see:
http://sqlmag.com/data-access/cross-join-performance
In your MDX query, ensure only retrieval the required data. Here are some useful links for your reference.
