How to set Dynamic Time Series in Planning application

Dear All,
I am having an issue by setting up dynamic time series (Y-T-D). I have set up at generation level 4. In our application the hierarchy of dimension Period is as follows.
Yeartotal -> HY1 -> Q1 -> Jan, Feb, Mar
Consider the following example
Jan -> 100
Feb -> 200
Mar -> 300
If I want to retrieve "Y-T-D Feb" the result should show me the sum of Jan & Feb in this case it should be 300. What is the syntax of retrieving YTD in smartview.
In our application "Year" dimension name is "Year". How can I rename this dimension name if this is the requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sami

The format in Smart View would be Y-T-D(feb) more info at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/sv_user_11121102/ch17s02s02.html
you will need to rename Year to something like Years, it depends if it is a classic or EPMA to how you rename it.

  • Dynamic Time Series in Planning

    Hi ,
    Can anyone please let me know that how to use Dynamic Time Series in planning and DTS members can be shown on forms ? if yes How?
    Thanks in advance...

    Instead of explain it all again, I gave an explanation on another post, have a read of the posts at :- Re: YTD calculations in Dataforms

  • How to enable Dynamic Time Series?

    Hi expert,
    I tried to enabled Dynamic Time Series for an application, by go to Dimension Library, right click, select "Dynamic Time Series", then selected both YTD and QTD for generation 2 and 3 respectively, then refresh database.
    But found seems the DTS is not enabled, tried to use in in Smartview, but cannot retrieve anything. Is there any further steps I need to take to enable DTS? Please help!
    My HP application is on 11.1.2.1 and we use EPMA. Thanks!

    You should really only have to do what is documented at - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_admin/epma_dts_members.html
    This may be useful as well in Oracle Support - "Clarification on the Generation Level when Setting up Dynamic Time Series (DTS: YTD, QTD,..) for Hyperion Planning [ID 1334732.1]"

  • How to build dynamic time series for the time dimension

    I am planning to build dynamic time series using rule file instead of manually.Please let me know if there is any property need to assign to enable DTS property for TIME dimension.
    Edited by: 844104 on Mar 14, 2011 3:37 AM

    In the load rule in the dimension build settings you would need to go to the tab dimension definition, choose the time dimension and right click on it. Select Edit properties. If you have not done so, set the dimension to be the time dimension. Then go to the generations/levels tab and set the generation names you need. For example if you want YTD, you would set the generation name to Year, if you want QTD set it to Quarter. You would set the number to the generation number that coorisponds to the generation. The DBAG has the list of names for all of the DTS members.

  • How to use dynamic time series in formula

    I have Time dimension with active Dynamic Time Series for Y-T-D.
    I'd like to use it in member formula - e.g. IF (@ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)")) - but this doesn't work as I get error message Unknown variable or member name.
    Any idea how to work with dynamic time series members in formula?
    Still using Essbase 6.5 X-(.

    As Glenn mentioned, I also don't believe you can reference a DTS member in a formula, you would have to calc the YTD. Take a look at the @PTD function to calc Period to date numbers, I believe this function was available in v6.
    Having said that, we're assuming you want to calc a ptd number, but your example was based on an IF @ISMBR(). So the question becomes what are you trying to do? Given what I assume your time dim looks like, what would be the difference between @ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)") and @ISMBR("Aug")

  • How to use Dynamic Time Series YTD on a calc script / member formula?

    Hi,
    I activated Dynamic Time Series on Essbase and would like to use the YTD function of a measure for a certain month.
    I tried to use
    MeasureName->YTD(Dec)
    MeasureName->Y-T-D(Dec)
    But couldn't use it to syntax problems. How can I call this function instead of using @Accum or @SumRange?
    Thank you

    I could be wrong, but I don't think you can use DTS members in calc scripts or member formulas. As you probably know, they can be used in Financial Reports, SmartView and Excel Add-in.
    You can create an alternate hierarchy in your Time dimension though:
    Jan (YTD): Jan ->Jan is being a shared member
    Feb (YTD): Feb+Jan (YTD) ->Both Feb and Jan (YTD) are being a shared members
    Dec (YTD): Dec+Nov (YTD) ->Both Dec and Nov (YTD) are being a shared members

  • Dynamic Time Series with Planning connection?

    Hi guys,
    I have built some reports in HFR, with a connection to a Planning application (the architect requested so). But the only way to get the YTD function properly working is using an Essbase connection (I got an error with the Planning connection).
    My question is: can reports with DTS function be built with a Planning connection? Version is 11.1.2.2.
    Could you please help me?
    Thanks!
    Lu

    Is the report showing any Planning specific content? supporting detail/ cell comments?
    If not you can use an Essbase connection. However if you do so then the way metadata is presented is going to be different (if you use planning connection then the member level security will mimic what is in Planning).
    You cannot use attributes with a planning connection too.

  • Creating Dynamic Time Series in Hyperion Profitability and  Cost Management

    I am creating Dimensions in Dimension Library for Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management. Please let me know if we can set Dynamic Time Series for HPCM.
    I can see DTS Manager option for Period Dimension in Hyperion Planning but this option is not available for Period Dimension in HPCM Application.
    Is there any other way to drill down upto weeks level or day level data in Time Series.

    I am also facing the same issue. Does we have any option to create Dynamic time series in HPCM. Please let me know.

  • Set-up Dynamic time series

    Hi,
    I have just tried to activate dynamic time series members in the outline.
    In the outline I can now see "Active time series members: Y-T-D behind the dimension name "Periode".
    I was in the assumption that new Y-T-D members would be created. But this is not the case.
    I want to use the YTD functionality in financial reporting. But am unable to select DTS members.
    What is the proper way to set up DTS?

    Hi,
    Proper way of setting-up Dynamic time Series is: -
    1- Define one dimension as 'Time' in outline.
    2- Select any eight predefined Dynamic Time Series members like Q-T-D, Y-T-D and associated it with any generation. For example, if you want to calculate quarter-to-date values, you enable the Q-T-D member and associate it with the generation to which you want to apply the Dynamic Time Series member.
    3- Dynamic Time Series members are not displayed as members in the database outline. Instead, Essbase lists the currently active Dynamic Time Series members in a comment on the time dimension. For Ex. Y-T-D is showing after dimension 'Period' in yourcase.
    4- When you retrieve a Dynamic Time Series member, you need to tell Essbase the time period up to which you want to calculate the period-to-date value. This time period is known as the latest time period and must be a level 0 member on the time dimension. For. Ex - For example, Q-T-D(May) returns the quarter-to-date value by adding values for April and May.
    Hope it answers you.

  • ALternation hierachy for Period ROll DYnamic time series.

    Hi
    What is custom dynamic time series in period dimensions.
    How it is to be build ?any insights that would help me to build in the planning application to build custom dynamic series capability.
    Please guide me how can this be achieved.
    Thanks

    Thanks Mehmet that was really helpful.!!
    Not sure if you can call it better, but I have developed the following alternate hierarchy at a client and it worked with no issues:
    YTD(Jan): Jan (Shared Member)
    YTD(Feb): YTD(Jan)+Feb (Both shared members)
    YTD(Dec): YTD(Nov)+Dec
    We didn't have a QTD hieararchy, but you can use the same logic.
    Cheers,
    Mehmet
    YTD(JAN)+Feb (both are shared members) can you explain this.
    SHared member is like a pointer to primary instance of member.that would be great if you can explain this what does both are share members mean?
    and alos do these members needed to be set to dynamic ?

  • Dynamic Time Series in Essbase

    Hello All,
    I am new to Hyperion planning and Essbase development. I would like to implement Dynamic Time Series in Essbase. I could not find any materials where I can understand the concepts of DTS.
    So I know I have an Essbase application created in EAS console with Period and Year dimension. How can I implement the DTS for PTD, QTD and YTD?
    It would be really helpful If someone could help in understanding and implementing the DTS.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Enable Dynamic Time series

    hi,
    I am trying to look for dynamic time series option in planning web and i m not able to locate it. I am on planning 9.2. .
    Can anybody let me know where can i enable it on web and if i need to enable it via essbase as well once i refresh the outline??
    Thanks!

    To add on to John's comments beginning in 9.3.1 you have the ability to set this up in EPMA as well. A caveat is you should make sure to rename your Year dimension Years and your Period dimension Periods as these begin to be reserved words with DTS enabled.

  • Using PeriodToDate MDX function in an ASO cube (Dynamic Time Series)

    Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2
    Since ASO doesn't support Dynamic Time Series (DTS), I am trying to use the "PeriodToDate" MDX function to get MTD and YTD totals. Below is my Time dimension:
    Time (Time - Stored)
    ...I---> 2007
    ......l---> Q1-2007
    .........l---> Jan-2007
    ............l---> 2007-01-01
    ............l---> 2007-01-02
    ............l---> 2007-01-03
    .........l---> Feb-2007
    .........l---> Mar-2007
    ......l---> Q2-2007
    ......l---> Q3-2007
    ......l---> Q4-2007
    Syntax:
    PeriodsToDate ( [layer [, member ]] )
    I tried many different ways to get the right syntax but it didn't work when I set the formula on member "2007" for YTD totals or on months to get MTD. Any help would be appreciated.

    ASO does not have Dynamic Time Series at all (unless something just recently changed)
    Period to date functionality has to be managed via MDX formulas and/or alternate roll ups in your time dimension.
    Time Balancing does have to be a stored hierarchy, which is what you generally want anyway. The issue you have with Time balancing is that some times if you have an alternate roll up in your time dimension, it can cause problems with Time balancing.
    If you want to use Time balancing, I would sugest a single stored time heriarchy and use an anakytic view dimension for the period to date functionality.
    You can see a post I have on my blog that talks about this: garycris.blogspot.com
    One other thing to mention. If you wan to use built in time balance functionality, you must tag a dimension as Account Type and it will have to be a dynamic dimension.

  • Has anyone figured out a way to rename a dynamic time series member?

    Our client uses trimesters instead of quarters or halfs in their financial reporting. We need to use dynamic time series but do not want to use Q-T-D or S-T-D members because they don't quite make sense to the client. We attempted to rename Q-T-D to T-T-D in the planning app repository unique names table but received an error. Has anyone figured out a way to rename a dynamic time series member or is it just not possible and we will have an alias that doesn't jive with the member name?

    I think the option is probably to use an alias, you shouldn't really be trying to hack the planning tables as it is essbase that controls DTS.
