Help with Time Dimensions

Hi,
I am trying to create a Time Dimension using the Wizard, but I want to add certain fields to the dimension like Month Ago, Week Ago, Quarter Ago, etc. What are the steps to do this?
Also, is it possible to combine Fiscal and Calendar year into the same dimension?
Thanks

Gurus, anybody anything on this one??
I haave done a small adjustment in the dimension order by which I have eliminated the following error:
Record #40 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member xxxxxxxxx (3320)
Record #40 - No time dimension defined
But, I have the following new error/warning (cube build successfull in this case) when I made this adjustment:
Record #427 - Error adding Attribute to member PATB4_ADJ-PDA (3320)
The adjustment I made is... I moved TIME dimension up and ACCOUNT dimension below that...so the order I have now is TIME,ACCOUNT,SCENATRIO,XXX,XXXX instead of ACCOUNT,TIME,SCENARIO,XXX,XXXXX ..*would this create any performance issues?*

Problem with Time Dimension generating

Hello, everybody.
I have a problem with Time Dimension generating with the help of the Standard Wizard.
1. I choose Dimensions -> New -> Using Time Wizard
2. Set Name as "Time"
3. On the next screen I choose ROLAP: Relational Storage
4. On the next screen set Start year: 2003, Number of years: 3
5. On the next screen choose all levels of the Normal Hierarchy
On the 6-th step Wizard complete 60% of job and hang up doing nothing (buttons "Cancel" and "Help" is active).

New to Mac, Help with Time Machine! Partition External HDD or not?

Hey Guys I'm a new mac user
I need help with time machine
I wanted to know how time machine works and what all does it back up?
I have 2 hard drives one is of 1TB and one is of 320gb
In the 1TB hard drive i store all my music videos and work stuff it is windows formatted
The 320gb hard drive is mac formatted and I was thinking of making a partition on it one with 250gb for time machine and the remaining 70 gb for mac softwares and files. The ssd of my mac has a capacity of 256gb. I have read for time machine you need at least 2x the space of your ssd on your external hard drive but i don't understand if my ssd is only 256 and can store files worth 256gb why do i need double the space? Secondly if I choose to use the complete 320 gb for time machine will that be okay or even if i choose to partition it to 250gb for time machine will that be fine too? Or will I need to format my 1TB hard disk out of which currently only 300 gb is empty and partition that to 500 gb for time machine?
I'm really confused every tells me to use time machine but do I need it? And what does it exactly do?
Your input will be really appreciate thanks

The reason that you want a partition (or drive) of 2-3 times the size of your boot drive for Time Machine is so that you can keep backups further back than just the current boot drive state - for that you'd need to make a clone of the drive rather than using Time Machine (see -> http://pondini.org/TM/Clones.html).
For more information for backups in general, see -> Most commonly used backup methods.
Note that you can't use Time Machine to backup a Windows partition.
Good luck,

Macro help on selectin crieteria with time dimension to the user

Hi Experts,
I have some Macro requirement in my input schedule.
We are preparing Head Count Planning report and the time dimension is selected for next five years and category is Budget.
Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015).
I have heard that it can be achieved through Macro. Can some one please provide a piece of Macro sample so that I can make the changes according to my requirement.
Please see the below report format (Time Dimension details).

Hi Satish,
What macro are you talking about?
If it's symmetric report then you use context to select YYYY.TOTAL and expand to base members.
If it's asymmetric report then use: Static report in BPC NW 10
"Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015)."
If you want to have report for 5 years and the user select first year with context - then Static report in BPC NW 10
You have to generate TIME members by Excel formula:
Example:
in A10 you have formula =EPMContextMember("ConnName";"TIME"), resulting in 2015.01
Then in column axis you can use LEFT($A$10,4)&".02", LEFT($A$10,4)&".03" etc. for the first year
LEFT($A$10,4)+1&".02",... for the second year

Help with Time Machine Backups not working..

Let me preface this by saying I have spent the last day scouring the internet for solutions to my problem. I have tried every option that I have run across and have had no luck in resolving my problem. As a last resort, I'm turning here in hopes that you can be of help.
I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running Moutain Lion. I use an external HD for my time machine backups. I am having an issue with Time Machine not functioning. The initial error message I receive when I attempt to use TM to backup is: "Time machine couldn't coplete the backup to Rick's backup disk". "Unable to complete backup. an error occurred while creating the backup folder".
I searched the forums and net and found several things to do to try and resolve this issue. My computer will freeze out and not let me erase, or re-partition the the hard drive, so I switched it over to an older macbook of my girlfriends and am successfully able to erase, and re-partition the drive (using disk utility) as suggested by several forum postings I have read. I am able to run disk verify and disk repair and both say the disk is "ok" with no issues. The moment the erase and partition is done, her computer prompts a message : "Would you like to use this disk for Time Machine Backups" which tells me it is working properly. When I move it back to my macbook pro and attempt to run TM backup, it will now work and copy about 10g of my 120g before shutting down with this error message:
"Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Rick's Backup Disk". An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk."
If i attempt to re-run TM at that point, I get the original error message:
"Time machine couldn't coplete the backup to Rick's backup disk". "Unable to complete backup. an error occurred while creating the backup folder".
If I move the TM back to my Girlfriends computer and attempt to run TM, it will function properly and backup her entire harddrive. When I erase and try again on mine, I always end up back with the same issues. It's clearly something in my macbook that is screwing it up. Can anyone please offer some help! I'd be much appreciative.

See #C10 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting
"Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Rick's Backup Disk". An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk."
Not one of Apple's more informative messages.
There's a problem with a file on your system. See #C3 in the above link. It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it. If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, what you've done, and the results.

Problem with time dimension aggregation

I have a time dimension with 2 columns:Year and week
I've created a hierarchy in it to drill down from the year to the week.
when I report the sales in week level I have the right values but when I report the sales value in year level I don't have the right aggregation.Even if the year Level is a grand Total in the hierarchy.
The problem is that for all the years I have the same value but when I add the week level to the report Then I have the right values.
What could be the problem

Hi,
1.Actually the drill down Route path is not properly generated with your given key columns in herarchies.
need to give correct key columns
like year(YYYY)-->Week(wee should be the unique column for each and evry year)
suppose:
2000-sunday
2001-sunday should be different
so mostly the problem at your week column make the unique yearweek column as the key identifier at that level
Every Week is unique cause the logical key is a combination of the year and the weeknumber
2.if not you need to set individual levels for measures in content tab...
you mean by the content tab the level tab when you doubleclick into the measure???
Thanks

Creating P&L report with Time dimension view ( Period , HTD, YTD )

Hi
I have a requirement to create P&L report that will Time dimension view ( Period , HTD, YTD ). I guess the original report was created with hyperion tool now they want the same in BO report.
Is this technically possible with BEX since there is no standard time object for YTD and HTD. I know in BPC there are ready made objects.
does any one know how I can create this solution with BEX.
thanks
Bhat

Hi,
It is possible in BEx. You would need to create variables of type customer exit and write code to realize YTD, etc. Check the forums for documents and sample code.

SPRUNCALCACCOUNT to copy PL results to BS problem with time dimension

Hi there,
I'm trying to copy PL result to BS account using account transformation with a simple configuration without informing source period. I'm running the datapackage informing the time dimension. it works fine for 2008.JAN but if we try with 2008.FEB we get same result. We have tried with several time periods allways getting 2008.JAN results copied to BS destination account.
Any ideas on what we're doing wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Carlos

Sorry guys, It's working fine.....it was my fault, we have a SP for carry-forward that has a little bug.

Create report with time dimensions

I want to add the following dimensions in the extend report: calendar, period (Week, Month, Quarter, Year), compare to (Prior Year, Prior Period).
I have made some researchs and I have consulted oracle metalink but without succes.
I will be grateful if someone can indicate me where to find a concret example of the creation of time dimensions
Regards

Refer OBI Administration Guide, for creating Dimensions (includes Time Dimension Concepts)
Following link contains the example for implementing Time Dimension:

EvSND with time dimension

Hey
I am trying store the value 10 i our Finance application with the following EvSND function:
=EVSND(10,"FINANCE","A7_7010300","NOCAP","BUDGET","D_INP","E7_0000","I7","P7_0","G_00","LC","T200912")
T200912 is at valid ID in our time dimension, but EvSND returns the following error:
- Error Message -
The member name is invalid::2009.T200912 in TIME Dimension
- Rejected record list -
A7_7010300,BUDGET,E7_0000,2009.T200912,I7,LC,D_INP,NOCAP,P7_0,G_00,10
It looks like EvSND takes the prefix form YEAR property in CATEGORY dimension - but why? And how do I prevent this?
Note: EvDRE with the same parameters works fine.
Regards,
Soren.

Replacing the fixed text with at cell reference makes no difference. I did that in my original problem, and then replace the cell values with text just to be sure about the values in the parameters.
We are using BPC MS 7.0 SP4
I the description of EvGET I found the following:
"If you only supply the period and not the year, EvGTS uses the year from the CATEGORY YEAR property. For example, EvGTS(Jan,Budget,GlobalMotors, Revenue,AllProducts) uses whatever year is specified in the Budget category YEAR property".
It looks like EvSND does the same. But I do supply a full valid TIME ID, not just at period. I tried to use the TIME:T200912 variant to be more explicit, but it does the same thing. Tried using EvSEN u2013 same result.
Regards,
Soren.

Help with Time Evaluation and function exit (HRPTIM03 / SAPLHRLV_001)

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help me with an issue I am having with time evaluation and a user exit I wrote. The code for my exit is at the end of this post. IN DEV and QAS, everything works. However, in PRD, multiple rules are considered fulfilled (when looking in PT60), and so employees get two sets of vacation entitlements per month.
We have three rules for quota type 03 (vacation). Rules 3,6, and 9. Only rule 9 should apply to the individuals with the two job numbers in the code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Shane
WHEN ABSENCE QUOTA TYPE IS 3 (VACATION)
CASE XT559L-QTYPE.
WHEN '3'.
CASE - COMPARE SELECTION RULE FOR ABSENCE QUOTA TYPES
CASE XT559L-ACCNR.
WHEN RULE SELECTED IS 009
    WHEN '9'.
    IF JOB NUMBER IS 5084 OR 3084, THEN THE RULE APPLIES
      IF XP0001-STELL = '5084' OR XP0001-STELL = '3084'.
        XSUBRC = '0'.
    OTHERWISE, THE RULE DOES NOT APPLY
      ELSE.
        XSUBRC = '1'.
      ENDIF.
WHEN ANY OTHER RULE IS SELECTED
    WHEN OTHERS.
    IF JOB NUMBER IS 5084 OR 3084, THEN THE RULE DOES NOT APPLY
      IF XP0001-STELL = '5084' OR XP0001-STELL = '3084'.
        XSUBRC = '1'.
    OTHERWISE, THE RULE APPLIES NORMALLY
      ELSE.
        XSUBRC = '0'.
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.

The problem was that even though the code was transported to PRD, and listed as Active - it still was not activated, and had to manually be done though CMOD.

Help with time expression!

Hi everyone, I need some help with the time expression.
Im working with video copilot´s plugin element 3d and i've made a spere shaped thing with particles which im going to sync to music. The problem is that when i make the simple expression "time*321" on the noise evolution value to make the sphere move organicly throughout the whole video it only does so for about two minutes then it just stops changing even though the value changes. The pictures might help you understand.
Pictures: http://puu.sh/adNNB/e8de72a1e8.jpg, http://puu.sh/adNQJ/4fe8d4fe94.jpg, http://puu.sh/adNRx/8ecff2b2ca.jpg
Then there is another problem which is that the sphere evolves alot faster with the time set to 321 compared to when i have it on 30.
I hope you can help me and im sorry for my bad english just tell me if there is something you dont understand.

I think you are giving the rotation value more than it can handle. After a while, many of the values in AE will stop increasing because the math can't go any further. Here are two things for you to try.
1) Use this simple expression for increasing the value of something.
THE BIG PICTURE: ([Amount of Change] / [Number of Seconds]) * time
ROTATION EXAMPLE: (360 / 5) * time;   <----- This will rotate a layer 360º over 5 seconds. It will also continue to rotate until the end of the comp or you run out of math.
POSITION EXAMPLE: delta = (500 / 2) * time; // This changes the value of "delta" 500 units over 2 seconds and continues.
                                   x = value[0] + delta; // Uses the x value from frame 0 and adds the delta to provide movement
                                   y = value[1]; // Uses the y value
                                   [x, y] // sends the values back to the layer
2) Modulus will recycle the numbers. Using your current expression, you can add modulus, and use it to recycle your math.
EXPRESSION: (time * 321) % 360
The % is the modulus, and it resets the count every 360º.
Good luck!

Help with Times Table GUI applet

Hello,
I need help with an applet which inputs an integer from the user and displays the appropiate times table up to times 10 eg; user input 5 - display shows
5 time 1 is 5
5 times 2 is 10
5 times 10 is 50.
I have only managedt o get the display to show one statement eg 5 times 1 - I have tried using a for loop to show the whole table - but unlike a print statement each time the loop goes round it overwrites the data in the display box with the new data - any help would be much appreciated.
Note: it is for a programming course year 1 exercise - so I can only use basic constructs or loops to achieve this. Thanks in advance! Heres what I have so far:
