Function to verify if member exists in outline?

Hi guys,
Need your suggestions on Essbase Excel VBA functions. We have a report built in Excel that is using some Essbase VBA functions. Now in this report we want to add an extra functionality
where the report when ran should check if the member entered is there in hierarchy. Do we have any function or logic to get this result. I am thinking like using EssVCell and retrieve the value.
if we get #VALUE, the member dont exist in hierarchy.
Thanks,
PM

Okay, this is not me writing, but MMIC, Glenn Schwartzberg whose dedication to OTN is so great he IM'd me and asked me to post the following:
1) First ask if he is using smart view or the add-in. If the add-in then the easiest way would be to use the outline API.
2) I can't get to the specific calls, but you do something like open the outline read only and then search for the member
3) I did something like it in my 2008? kaleidoscope conference presentation in New Orleans (Glenn, yes, you did do this at Kaleidoscope 2008).
4) He could probably search and find it.
Glenn's right, naturally -- go to www.odtug.com, then under Technical Resources, then search for one of Glenn's presentations -- he's presented a bunch of them, but I think this one has "API" in the title.

not really. I mean you could set the dimension build rule to not allow moves or property changes which in essence would not allow chances to existing members so only new ones would be added. Or you could use remove unspecified and it the member does not exist in the load file it would get removed, but that is about it unless you write something custom just one of the APIs.

How to check if the member exists in essbase cube using IF cond.

Hello,
I have a requirement to validate certain accounts and if they exist or not and use them in calc. We have certain list of percent accounts which have some driver amounts. If the user selects the parent account, it should automatically calc with percent accounts to generate the values for all its children.
The issue is we have lots of accounts and lots of percent accounts, its not that all accounts have the percent accounts. thats the problem.
When I Fix at a high level of accounts, am getting this error which says that member doesnt exists and return empty member set.
Error executing formula for [Revcnt] (line 49): attempt to cross a null member in function [@X]
Its the same even if I use Set Emptymembersets ON;
The script is below,
FIX(@Relative({SelectAccount},0),
"Revcnt"(
IF(@ISMBR(@MEMBER(@CONCATENATE(@NAME(@CURRMBR("Account")),"%"))
Condition ;
ENDIF);
ENDFIX
Is there a command to validate if the member exists in the cube or not???
We are using 11.1.2.1 Essbase on Windows 64bit.

The silly question first:
Why not user dynamic calc for the members you need? When updating the structure, you create the formula. Your verification if a member exists will be done in, for example, a select statement that create the dimension.
Now the complex idea:
Is it possible in your application recreate the script every time you update the dimension?
My example:
Here we have a cube that change the account dimension very often. So the cube have an CalcScript that need to be updated every time the dimension changes.
For that purpose, we have a process that read the database and recreate the calc with the correct members.
I never tested that solution with calc manager, but i think it's less complex than recognize the member itself during calculation.

Issue adding Child member to the outline in 11.1.2.2

Hi ,
We have any Issue with adding the member to the Outline. Details mentioned below.
Server locked up when i was updating the outline. I was erasing lower level structure.. This has been a chronic problem..
http://gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com:9000/easconsole/console.html
Need this server reset asap.. this is holding up important forecast work. Many people are depending on this getting done.
However to make it work you have to change the name of an existing member.. then add to the data base outline.. which disappear when you put it in.. save it. close and reopen and the structure add will be present. Do not copy, and delete siblings.. this will cause the server to lock up.
We had this issue before and what I have done is
just add the Child Outline and when we saved it it’s not saving the cursor keeps on browsing and rotating and it will not save. So in order to save just rename some other child member and save it then it saves. And when we close and reopen the outline we can see the child Outline was added. And again rename the other child member what we renamed to its original name.
The above one is just a temporary fix what we did but can any one help me on Permanent Fix for this.

Naveen

Hi Naveen,
I think this issue is related to JRE version. As per support matrix for 11.1.2.2, JRE version version should be 1.6_29+. (that does not mean Java 7 is supported)
Check whats the Java/JRE version you have on the system from which you are accessing EAS link.
If its Java 7, uinstall it & install supported 1.6 version.
Hope this resolves the issue.
Thanks,

Change member names in Outline

I have in the outline:Dept dimension with a member Marketing and Account Dimension member name Mkt. When I changed the member name in Dept dimension to Total Marketing and Account Dimenstion to Marketing I lost all the data.Any suggestions to update the outline?Thanks,Jenny

It's been my observation that Essbase thinks you deleted one member and created another. Data (especially level zero data) is generally tied to member names, not outline position.If you are renaming an upper level member, it may or may not disappear. You can recreate your data by forcing a calc.If you are renaming a level zero member, you have to do it in two steps. First create the new member and save the outline. Second, run a calc that only sets NewMember = OldMember. Third, delete the old member.Good Luck,Tim

Getting all level 0 member in a outline

what is the best way to get all the level 0 member in a outline
Please advise

ok so you're doing a one-off exercise to identify non-level 0 data and you have a lot of members.
I would still probably just dump it into Excel and then load it to a database to compare against the data.
What you can do in Excel is turn on 'Navigate without Data' which gets you the list of members without retrieving data (a LOT faster). In Smartview it is under the Data Options tab. (Zoom In Level is under the General tab but you probably knew that)
An alternative is to use OLAP Underground Outline Extracter and use a method other than Parent Child format.

Calling a remote enabled function module which does not exist in caller sys

Hi,
I have a a system ABC from which I am trying call a rfc enabled fm(Test) present in system XYZ.
The fm(Test) does not exist in the system ABC so I am getting generation errors and dumps.
Is there a way for me to call these remote enabled function modules which does not exist in the caller system without the obvious errors etc.
Is there any special way.
Thanks

Hi,
please check this sample:
REPORT zcallfm                                 .
DATA: xv_return TYPE sysubrc.
CALL FUNCTION 'DOESNOTEXIST'
DESTINATION   'NOWHERE'
EXPORTING     caller                = sy-sysid
IMPORTING     return                = xv_return
EXCEPTIONS    system_failure        = 1
              communication_failure = 2
              OTHERS                = 4.
It shouldn't throw any generation errors in your system!

Function to get Family Member Details and Addresses

Family Member details are stored in pa0021 and their addresses are stored in pa0106. I can find lots of BAPI's/Functions to read and create new Family Member details, but nothing that deals with both their Details and Address Information (pa0021 and pa0106). Is anyone aware of some type of function that exists to read/create/change this information?

Hi Janice,
perhaps you could user
BAPI_FAMILYUS_GETDETAIL
Regards Bernd
Ps. i haven't uses thsi so far because in germany infotyp 106 is not "allowed" in standard systems.

Hyperion Business Rules - Updating to use New Member in Essbase Outline

We have a business rule that needs updated to include a new cost center.
"Allocated Account" = ("Account 1"->CC1->Product->Project->"Channel 1" + "Account 1"->CC2->Product->Project->"Channel 1") / ("Account 5"->CC_3->Product->Project->"Channel 1" + "Account 5"->CC_4->Product->Project->"Channel 1");
CC2 is a cost center that we just added to the Essbase outline and does not have data yet. When I try to validate the business rule, I get an error:
Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200497): Error compiling formula for [Allocated Account] (line 33): unknown member name [CC2] in function ...
I am new to business rules and have no clue why it doesn't like the new cost center.
Thanks.
Terri T.

Yes, I can find the member name in the outline. I don't understand what you mean by "refreshing" the outline. I have saved the outline.
