HFM and Forecast

Hi, i'm evaluating the Disaster Recovery for Hyperion HFM and Forecast, but there isn't any link or paper that explain resource utilization for these applications.
Is very important for planning DR that i have to know this info:
1) network bandwith usage (for single client session)
2) RAM usage for single client
3) CPU usage for session
i have not found anythings that help me for this aim.
Someone knows where i can find this informations?
thanks very much

We too are struggling with the best way to copy actuals over to our budget scenarios.
1. We have tried copying data to the budget scenarios but this only copies at the bases so the journal entries do not get copied.
2. We then tried copying all the bases to our budget scenarios and extracting the journals and loading those to the budget scenarios but our budget scenarios do not translation because all of our budgets are in USD. This works great for all USD companies but not foreign currency parents.
3. We then tried copying all the USD bases and the parent foreign currency entities, which are already in USD, but when we consolidated the foreign currency bases all have no data and they override the parent data copied
4. We then copied all the USD bases to our budget scenarios and extracted the journals as before. We then extracted the actual data for the parent foreign currency entities and loaded those back to bases. Which seemed to work but then we discovered that our journal entries are accumulating. Our actual scenario is YTD so our journal entries are made for YTD amounts. When copied over to the budget scenarios, which are periodic, these amounts accumulate when looking at YTD amounts.
So my questions are: When you are pulling your data into Smartview, are you pulling bases or parents? Do you have any foreign currency entities and if so how are you handling those? Do you have journal entries and if so how are you bringing those over to the budget scenarios?
As I'm typing this I'm wondering if we pull our data at Parent Currency Total, this would pick up all the journa entries and then we could load it back to Entity Currency in the budget scenarios.
Anyone have any thoughts because we are almost out of ideas
Thanks!

OBIEE report with HFM and Essbase Data source

Hi All,
Just want your though can we get the data from HFM and Essbase data source in a single report i.e. for some account i want to show budget data from HFM and Forecast data from essbase in a single OBIEE report? If yes how can we model both Data source in rpd?

It possible but the challenge is to try to align the account hierarchy and the entity hierarchy between Essbase and HFM. HFM is looking the data at a top side consolidation level where planning will have more granular details to forecast correctly. The best solution is either to build a custom table in to import both sources, or to use HFM data into Essbase, or to use EPMA. The best in class solution stays to align hierarchies and metadata across applications. We implemented BI Financials Dashboard for the General Ledger, built a custom Dashboard connected in Real Time to Planning and are installing OFMA to connect HFM. Once done, you can rationalize metadata if not done before and start to link the different data into single reports. You will also have to ensure the data is refreshed at the same time to avoid inconsistency.

Data Integration between HFM and HP

Hi all,
I'd like to get your opinions on HP-HFM integration design consideration. In a holding company, there are HP and HFM applications. Actual data will be transferred from distinct ERP systems of subsidiaries to holding HP application. There needs to be a data flow from HP to HFM for actual, budget and forecast data. Afterwards, actual, budget and forecast consolidation will be handled in HFM. My question is about data entry of intercompany details. There are 2 options:
1. The subsidiaries can enter budget and forecast data in HP without ICP details and after the data is transferred to HFM, they can allocate ICP_none amount ( which will be the total amount coming from HP) into ICPs.
2. A new dimension for ICPs can be created in HP and the subsidiaries can also enter ICP details in HP, so they can have a single point for data entry. Afterwards, the data with ICP details can be transferred to HFM for consolidation purposes.
Which option would you choose and why? or do you have any other recommendations?
I appreciate your opinions.
Thanks a lot,
Yasmin

Hi,
Why don't you check the One-Stop Shop for SBO SDK Help files that can be accessed at:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/businessone.sdn?node=linkDnode10
There is a tool called Data Transfer Workbench for batch uploads.
Also, it might be possible to use MS SQL Server DTS for a bit faster updates.
Last but not least, there is a course TB1300 on SDK, attending that or reviewing the class materials may be useful.

Which table can we see consumption and forecast values in forecast based planning

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am working on implementing forecast based planning for Spare parts for my client. They have one Main Plant which do purchase of Spare Parts and through Stock transfers moved to 60+ Plants from where Spares are being sold.
Now I am carrying out SAP trial runs for a set of 160+ materials with various models and want to compare with their existing methodology of requirement calculation.
I want to compile Consumption and Forecast data month wise for these trial materials (160+ materials in 60 Plants) . One way I thought is to go individual Material Master and looks for values in Forecast view. However it is tedious and time consuming.
The table name shows RMCP2 and RM03M for forecast and Cons values, but I could not find the table.
Hence I want to know which table if I can view I can get the consumption and forecast data calculated for quick copying and compilation.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Dear Mariano,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Like I could able to get the consumption values for materials using table MVER and fields GSV01,GSV02 etc.,
What field I need refer in table PROP for getting forecast values.
As such I could not see any column where in data are similar to Forecast view.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

HFM and Planning apps not showing up in workspace..

Hi All
We recently had the SSL certificate expired and after we renewed them, and restarted all the services, the HFM and Planning apps are not showing up in workspace Navigate->Applications. When I click on Classic Administration -> Consolidation Administration or Planning Administration , I get the following error.
"Please make sure that the Application you are trying to launch is registered with SharedServices.Shared Services must be running for the feature you are trying to access.Close the current browser window and try logging into workspace again after a little while.Contact your administrator for further information."
I also cannot open the HFM app in "Projects" in HSS, but can open Planning apps. ( not sure if that helps)
I m able to open the Planning and HFM apps using the Direct links, (not through workspace) and able to login and perform any task with in the application.
The issue looks more like workspace is not able to communicate with Foundation or shared services.
Can you tell me what would be the reason for apps not showing up in the Workspace and a possible resolution?
Thanks in Advance.
Raghu.

Hi Raghu,
I'm faced with the same problem.
If you have managed tor resolve the same, please help me with the solution.

Joining Actual and Forecast Data

Hi All,
I have two cubes one for actual and one for forecast data. In the actual cube data comes at 0MATERIAL, 0CUSTOMER, 0DIVISION, 0FISCPER level for for key figure 0AMOUNT (Actual Revenue). In the Forecast Cube the data comes at ZMATERIAL, ZCUSTOMER, ZDIVISION, ZFISCPER for the key figure ZAMOUNT (Forecasted Revenue).
How can i merge the two providers where in one single row i can show both the actual
and the forecasted amount for the same material, customer, division and fiscal period.
Thanks
Rashmi.

Create a multiprovider consisting of your actual and forecast cubes. Within the multiprovider, include the desired info objects (e.g. 0MATERIAL, ZDIVISION, etc.). Within the multiprovider 'Identification' function, be sure to map the applicable info object(s) from each cube to the multiprovider info object.
For multiprovider 0MATERIAL: map Actual 0MATERIAL and Forecast ZMATERIAL.
For multiprovider ZDIVISION: map Actual 0DIVISION and Forecast ZDIVISION
You then build your query using info objects within multiprovider.

Best MRP type and strategy to run MRP for component using PIR and forecast

Hi Experts,
I want to run MRP for Component parts. I need to run MRP based on Planned independent requirements and Forecast Data.
Which is the best suited MRP type and strategy.
Please help to share bestpractices if any. thank you.
Rayudu

Hi,
is the components you are talking are Semi finished materials or Raw materials and Packing materials which are procured from vendors ???....
It is not a good idea to maintain planning strategy for Components which are part of BOM...these materials are automatically planned when the header materials of these components are planned....
If these components are not part of any BOM then you can try the option of using forecast based planning.. MRP type VV and maintain the forecasting view in the material master
You can also explore the option of consumption based planning like manual or automatic reorder point planning...
Thanks

Setup of reorder point planning and forecasts

Can someone please tell me the setup steps of reorder point planning and forecast sets..
I hav seen the documentation but am complete lost
Need ur help!
Emm

Hi Emm,
1. Create an item for which the inventory planning method should be reorder point planning along with that provide the minmum order quantity & maximu ordered quantity and the Source type should be supplier.
2. Navigate to > planning > forecasts > Sets: to define the Forecast Quantity. ( First Forecast Set, then Forecast Line, then Forecast Items > inside this define the forecast quantity.
3. Define the safety stock by navigating to Planning > Safety Stocks .
4. Then submit the reorder point planning with parameters as restock – yes and name of your forecast.

CDR in the context of Forecast and forecast version

Can someone please help me understand the term "CDR" in the context of forecast and forecast version? What is the expansion of the term CDR?

No idea of what is CDR ... We have CDP which means characteristic dependent planning.
Maybe CDR is also characterisict dependent somthing? (Just a guess ...)
What's the context do you find this term?

SAP ERP - Demand Planning and Forecasting

Dear all,
my customer is a wholesale company. They want to use a component in SAP ERP (not SAP APO), in order to make demanding planning and forecasting for the materials , quantities and dates they should make the purchases in order to cover the demand of their customers. What is the component that should be used in order to achieve this?

MRP can be used without production planning. SOP and Demand Management are not Production.
Nevetheless, if you want a simpler planning cycle, provided that you understand its ads and cons, you could go for Consumption Based Planning MRP.

HFM and FDM on Windows server 2008 - 64 bit

Hi All,
We are installing HFM and FDM on Windows server 2008 - 64 bit.
For FDM we installed 32 bit oracle client and for HFM 64 bit client.
When trying to Configure HFM the database Configuration is failing.
Appreciate all your support.

I was not able to get both HFM and FDM to work on the same node due to differences in the 32/64 bit Oracle Client requirements. I suggest moving FDM to another node where you can install the 32 bit client without effecting HFM.

Is this script still valid for setting up Drill through between HFM and FDM

Guys hoping some one can shed a light.
I am running hfm and fdm realese 11.1.1.3.000
I am having issues setting up the SSO authentication (all the other steps have been done, and HFM is aware that I have uploaded information that can drill back). I am using an SSO script that was part of an Oracle presentation, but don't know if that script is still relevant.
Here is a copy of the script (Visual Basic Script SSO Authentication) :
Function AuthenticateSSO(token, applicationName)
' Place your single sign-on authentication script here
' To signify an authentication failure, you should
' raise an error by calling the following method:
' Err.Raise [error number over 1000], [source], [description]
' Applicationname = FDMApplication in URL
Const strProcSig = "AuthenticateSSO"
Dim strUsername
Dim strDomain
Dim objHFMSSO
Dim strClusterName ' HFM cluster name
Dim strAppName ' HFM application name
Set objHFMSSO = CreateObject("upsIntBlockFM40C.clsHypeWindowFM")
If Not objHFMSSO Is Nothing Then
strClustername = "<xxxxxxxx>"
Select Case ApplicationName
Case "<xxxxxxxx>"
strAppName = "<xxxxxxxx>"
End Select
strUsername = objHFMSSO.Connection.GetUsernameFromToken(CStr(Token), strClustername, strAppName)
If Trim(strUsername & "") = "" Then
' Blank user name means the token is invalid.
Set objHFMSSO = Nothing
Err.Raise 2655, strProcSig, "The Single Sign-on token is invalid."
Else
' Return the user name from the authenticated token.
AuthenticateSSO = strUsername
End If
End If
Set objHFMSSO = Nothing
End Function
After I input all the information requested, I always get the error Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /HyperionFDM/AuthorizedPages/IntersectionSummaryByLocation.aspx
I did saw a note about this error that suggested that I needed to re-register and deploy again FDM. Did, but still have the same issue. So the only thing that I don't control is the script and that is why I am asking if this script is still active and usable?

I have done all of that but I still get an error when trying to drill back. I am using the Admin ID which exist on both FDM and HFM but I am always getting the
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

So the only thing that I hadn't tried at the time was the SSO script. Which was what I did.

Budgeting and Forecasting in AWM 11g

Hi,
We are looking at implementing the budgeting and forecasting capabilities into an Oracle OLAP 11g Cube built using AWM v11.1.0.6.0A.
On a very high level, we have the following questions:
1. What are the options available in AWM 11g for budgeting/forecasting.
2. What are the limitations/pre-requisites (in terms of cube or AW design).
3. Steps required to create a budgeting/forecasting model (like what needs to be done in the Cube Scripts) in AWM.
Any inputs on the above are highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Piyush

There is, unfortunately, no direct support for Forecasting in 11g AWM or the 11g OLAP API (which sits underneath AWM). But there is support for this in the OLAP DML and I recommend that you look at the OLAP DML Reference documentation. For forecasting, for example, see
FCOPEN function -- Creates a forecasting context.
FCSET command -- Specifies the forecast characteristics.
FCEXEC command -- Executes a forecast and populates Oracle OLAP variables with forecasting data.
FCQUERY function -- Retrieves information about the characteristics of a forecast or a trial of a forecast.
FCCLOSE command -- Closes a forecasting context.
These can be built into a DML PROGRAM, which can in turn be run from a Cube Build Script (as an OLAP DML command step).
You can write directly to the variables of a cube (provided you have not enabled Materialized Views, which is unlikely in this case).
There is support in the 11g OLAP API for MODELs in the OLAP DML sense, but this has not been exposed through AWM. You can use the API (Java or XML) to create models, custom members, and rules in models. See
OLAP Java API Reference (Javadoc)
In particular you may want to see classes
oracle.olapi.metadata.mdm.MdmModel and subclass MdmDimensionCalculationModel (to represent a model)
oracle.olapi.metadata.mdm.MdmAssignment (to represent an assignment of the form lhs = rhs in a model)
oracle.olapi.syntax.ConsistentSolveSpecification (to associated a model with a cube)
oracle.olapi.syntax.Expression and subclasses (to define rhs of model assignments)
