Extracting Planning Outline

Hi John,
I know that extracting the outline directly from Planning is not possible with ODI but it is easy with essbase.
But All the properties will not get extracted when doing it from essbase outline extractor. For example, the datatype property.
In my application we have 6000+ account members and there are many members with Percentage datatype. If i extract using the outline extractor or ODI the datatype property is not extracted and it will be a very tedious appoach to manually editing each and every member's datatype.
So please let me know if there is an alternate method and if yes the steps to do to extract the outline from planning with all the properties.
Thanks,
Sravan Ganti

Hi,
When I need to extract data from planning, I go to shared services, select my dimension, right click and select "export for edit".
It provides you with a flat file containing all properties, and since there is a clear seperator (usually "pipe" character if I remember correctly), it makes it quite easy to manipulate (typically I use the text to column excel function with the seperator, and get an excel file with one column for each property).
Hope this helps !

Cannot select Planning outline in Business Rules

Hi Everyone,
I am not being able to select the planning outline while developing business rules (but I can select the Essbase Outline). Whenever I expand the Planning node, an error pops up the details of which says "Error connecting to Essbase server machinename/testapp." There is a details button which says: "Could not log into Planning "Detail:Could not log in to Planning Server".
Can anyone help me out. I am not being able to view the rules in the planning UI (and consequently cannot attach them to Forms)
Thanks

First Get Struture name for Transaction CJ40
Goto SE11, and enter your structure name.eg. RKPLN
Goto the field that holds your data (e.g.WKGXXX), and double-click on the element name. Once inside the element, do a where-used list for that element, searching tables only.
Then go into each table, and see if you can find the one holding your data.
E.g COEJ,COEP,COSS

Dimension order in planning outline and consequences on FR Reports

If dimension order is altered in a planning outline, does it affect the usability of Financial Reports made with the previous order?

One other thing to keep track of -- you didn't specify what dimensions you are changing the order of, but there is a slight possibility that you will change the order in which dynamically calculated members are evalulated. In turn, this may impact your results.
There's a whole section in the DBAG that goes over stored and dynamic calc order.

EAS 9.3.1 Can't choose planning outline when creating new variable

I need to develop a new business rule for production but I can't choose a planning outline for my new variable. Nothing shows up under planning. I can see the prod planning server in prod, but I can't see the dev planning server in dev. Does anyone know how to fix this? I just recycled and there was no change.
Thanks

Once you have restarted eas, planning services, make sure you log into the planning application first, then open EAS and try again.

Hi
Try it:-
First logout from EAS and Planning. Try to login with Planning application owner ID (if you have access):
Login to Planning App with AppOwner ID and then login EAS with same ID and PW, then goto EAS---> Business Rules---> Repository View----> New Rules----->Associated Outline and try drill to PlanningApp.
Be sure If your all services are running properly.

Unable to clear all security from 9.3.1 Planning outline

Hi,
I am trying to clear all security from Planning outline. I have only one line in secfile.txt
HP_groupId,Gross Profit,READWRITE,@IDESCENDANTS
Then I ran
D:\Hyperion\Planning\bin>importsecurity "PLAN2,admin,password,,,SL_CLEARALL"
But there is still security in Planning outline. What am I doing wrong?
I even restarted the Planning service.
(hp_admin.pdf is not clear how this works)
Alternatively, should I just clear all data in HSP_ACCESS_CONTROL table? I have a backup of that table.

Hi,
What happens if your secfile.txt is empty, what is logged to the command window, it should be something like
Mon May 11 18:58:44 BST 2009 :: Logged in successfully
Mon May 11 18:58:44 BST 2009 :: SL_CLEARALL flag set....
Mon May 11 18:58:44 BST 2009 :: Delete all the existing Access Control.
Mon May 11 18:58:45 BST 2009 :: Setting Access controls....
I know there was some problems with earlier versions of 9.3 though it was meant to be fixed in the first release of 9.3.1
Security access is not deleted if ImportSecurity is run with this argument: SL_CLEARALL.
(8-523251655)
Is your version of planning patched to the latest patch release?

Members in Essbase outline but not Planning outline

We currently use Planning v3.5 and Esssbase v6.5.5 We want to add a member only to Essbase. It would not exist in Planning. Here are the specifics: We have a 3 generation outline and want to insert a member between generation 2 & 3 only in Essbase. The result would be that Essbase would have a 4 generation outline and Planning would have a 3 generation outline. We've tested this and done a refresh with no problem. Do you know of any problems with this approach? Also, we plan on upgrading to version 4.x in the near future. Would this be a problem if we upgraded? Ex. Current Outline: CONS_GAAP 00004 00004DIST 00004TRANS Essbase outline after change: CONS_GAAP 00004 00004TOT - add this member only in Essbase 00004DIST 00004TRANS Planning outline after change: CONS_GAAP 00004 00004DIST 00004TRANS

Okay two things if 00004TOT is going to be a parent to 00004DIST/TRANS in Essbase, then absolutely not. If 00004TOT is going to be on the same level as 00004DIST/TRANS (in other words also a level 0 member) then in theory you could do it, but it would not be considered best practice or a supported solution. The problem is when you refresh planning you would run the risk of losing the member, having the database corupt, etc.. If this was somehting you really wanted to do, you would have to thinking it through and build a lot of preocedures around it, so that after every Planning refresh an Essbase dim build would kick in and add the memebr, then relaod your data, yada, yada, yada. You really don't want to go down this road. Either add the member in Planning or let the users do the math in Excel/Report writer. Don't forget Planning does support alternate rollups with shared members. So you can create an alternate roll up with 00004DIST and 00004TRANS as shared members that roll up into 00004TOT. That would be the supported/best practice solution to your problem. HTH

Can't associate Planning Outline to Business Rule in EAS

Hi all
I've searched through this forum but can't seem to find a solution to my issue on any of the existing threads, I have tried what has been suggested to others who seem to have the same problem. My issue is this ... When I have a Business Rule open in EAS, and I try to associate the outline to my Planning Application, I can't see my Planning app. This problem goes both ways ... I can't associate an outline to my Planning App from EAS, and in Planning I can't see the BR's that are added to my forms.
Some history to the issue and what I've tried so far:
This is happening in a test environment, we used this environment a while back to test the changing of the Admin password and what the impact would be. The Admin password was changed successfully and all the components seem to work (EAS, Planning, Workspace, Shared Services) to be honest I didn't test the Business Rules at the time so I don't know if this is causing the problem that I have now. The test environment hasn't been used in a while (besides the testing of the admin password) so I'm not sure at what point this problem started and if the changing of the Admin password is the cause.
I'm not sure if I've messed up something with the RMI Registry because EAS and Planning can't seem to see each other??
I have tried: (without success)
- Changing the password back to what it was originally
- Running the Planning configuration tool
- I have created a new Planning application and can associate a BR in EAS to the new App but still can't see the existing App.
- From within Planning, I have selected 'Administration' -> 'Manage Database' and recreated the Application (selected 'create' rather than 'refresh')
- From within Workspace, when I selected 'Navigation' -> 'Administer' -> 'Classic Application Administration' -> 'Planning Administration' The existing Application does not show up
on the list, only the new test application that I created.
The environment that I am working in:
Planning Classic Application
Version 11.1.1.3 (EAS, Planning, Workspace, Shared Services)
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (32-bit)
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I know that I mentioned that this is on a test environment but I need this environment to set up user training and I need to be able to simulate the business process which means running a Business Rule from a form in Planning.
Kind Regards,
Fraser

No need to reply, I sorted it out by changeing the EDIT_DIM_ENABLED property to true, now I can change the Calculation module option from 'Calculation Manager' to 'Business Rules'

Business Rule issue: Not connecting to Planning outline

Hi,
We have recently installed EPM 11.1.2. We created a planning application and we now want to create BRs for this application. However when I tried connecting to the outline it is not able to see the plantypes. I have followed the following steps to troubleshoot:
1. Opened Planning application through web and then open EAS to create the BR. This doesn't resolve the issue.
2. Restarted Planning, EAS and RMI services. This also doesn't work.
Am I missing something here?
Regards,
Amol

Hi Seb,
Thanks for replying. I was creating the rules using Admin and it has necessary access rights. Following are the entries that I found in the HBR logs that seem to point to the cause.
Exception occured: 25:1065:Invalid value admingroup for identity.

Copy Planning Outline

I am new to planning, I am currently working on Planning 11.1.2, can anybody tell me how to copy the sample planning application outline to the new application i created. Is it possible, what is the procedure involved?
Regards,
SG

You can use LCM to migrate the dimension structures from a source to a target planning application.
If you have never used LCM have a read of http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/tutorials/pln-lcm-obe-095602.html
You won't need to do everything in the example but it should give you a good idea of what you need to do.

Can we use SSIS to extract Essbase Outline

Hi
I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to raise this question.
I am working with Essbase and SSIS. In SSIS there is no way where we can connect to Essbase as source or destination.
Is there any way where we can connect Essbase as data source to extract data or matadata from Essbase using SSIS.
If anyone has tried it out then please give some guidelines to implement the same

Hi user,
There is no way to conduct an Outline extraction using MS SSIS by itself. There was discussion a while back on using XMLA to do so but that is not possible either.
Depending on what exactly you need from your Essbase outline, you can use MS Reporting Services to report on an Essbase Cube. This is very possible.
So, if you are trying to get dimensionality, etc you could possible pull in this data into reporting services and then export to a CSV file, etc. However, you wouldn't be able to get all of the possbile metadata from the outline that you wish. I really depends on how complex the request/requirement of what you doing actual is.
Your best best is really going to be to use one of the popular outline extractors like Razza or AppliedOLAPs.
Don't forget to award points.
Cheers,
Christian

How to extract planned independent reqmts allocated quantity ref MD73

Hi expert,
I am looking for a hint that I could share with our developer on how to get the unallocated/or allocated portion of a planned independent requirement (we are developping a kind of multilevel shortage report). For exemple, report MD73 provide this information and in MD04 we see the unallocated portion.
Is there anyone who was able to program this using function module, tables or anything else? The standard BAPI like BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_GETDETAIL doesn't provide this information.
Someone recommended to use tables MDKP,MDPS but not sure if could achieve my goal. Some other recommended fm REQUIREMENTS_ALLOCATION but I'm not convince eigther. I hope there is a simpler way.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
FP

Tks Raymond, thank you for sharing your experience.
I maybe tempted by MD_MRP_LIST_API since the report we develop will be generated after our daily MRP run. This FM provides right away the information for scenarios with MPN-MRP set (materials with interchangeabilities). I don't see yet how to get this with MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST.
Could you explain why you used Requirements Allocation module? Are you refering to the fm REQUIREMENTS_ALLOCATION ? Is it to know which items have PIR (we are currently using BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_GETDETAIL for this)?
By any chance would you know what is the parameter INPER wich is passed to the fm MD_MRP_LIST and MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST ?

Extracting Outline from Planning using ODI

Hi John,
I would like to extract the outline from my Planning application using ODI.
When i did the extraction from the essbase, most of the properties of the members are differing wrt the Planning properties.
Is there any way to extract the outline directly from Planning.

The properties have a different name but they are the same thing, you just need to transform the name into the planning equivalent.
There is currently no adaptor to extract,usually a utility it can be done by the outline loader in version 11.1.2.1
