How to use local variable in member formula?

Hi Expert,
We would like to use a {local variable} in a member formula, so that it can pick up the prompt from webform upon save. Would like to know if it is possible to do? If so, what is the correct syntax?
We attempted to use brace {scenario}, blacket [scenario], blacket with quote ["scenario"]. None of these work.
We are using 11.1.2.1 version, EPMA, Hyperion Planning.
Thanks in advance for your help!

One other pointer. Where did you define your variable? Hopefully you went into Calc Manager and selected <Tools>, <Variables>. From there, navigate to your application or database. Right-click on your application or database and select "New". In the bottom panel, you'll need to select your Variable Type. Make sure you select "Member", and not "Members". You cannot pass "Members" (plural) to a web input form. Also, if you want to define a variable for a custom dimension, you'll need to do it at the database level. Standard dimension member variables can be defined at the app level. (Not sure why this is the case, especially when my custom dimension exists in all plan types . . . . )
Anyway, hope this helps,
- Jake

How to use user variable in Member Formula

Hi All
I have to write a member formula for %linearity quarter for a weekly application.This member will be used in reports and we do not want to do this calculation in reports, hence need to write member formula. The formula is
Week1 of Q1 forecast / Q1 Total Forecast , Week2 of Q1 Forecast/ Q1 Forecast.............,Week15 of Q2 forecast/ Q2Total Forecast.......and so on.
According to me it should work in the below mentioned manner , but need help in improvising the formula.
If(@ismbr("Weeks1") or @ismbr("Weeks2") or @ismbr("Weeks3") or @ismbr("Weeks4") or @ismbr("Weeks5") or @ismbr("Weeks6") or @ismbr("Weeks7") or @ismbr("Weeks8") or @ismbr("Weeks9") or @ismbr("Weeks10") or @ismbr("Weeks11") or @ismbr("Weeks12") or @ismbr("Weeks13") or @ismbr("Weeks14") )
"Current_Forecast"/"Q1"->"Current_Forecast";......
If anybody can help in suggesting how can i use user variable in this formula to achieve the required result.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion and it would be a better idea to use ISIDESC as compared to ISMBR.
I also wanted to ask if in the below mentioned formula if the result of first line is true than will the second line pick the current_forecast value of the respective member of Q1 and divide it by the current_forecast value of Q1.
IF(@ISIDESC("Q1"))
"Current_Forecast"/"Q1"->"Current_Forecast";
Also i need to know how can i write a member formula for week YOY% using user variables.The general formula is
Week 1 of FY13 - Week 1 of FY12/Weeks 1 of FY12
Week 2 of FY13 - Week 2 of FY12/Weeks 2 of FY13 and so on till week 53.
Thanks

How to use local variables to pass an image mask correctly

I'm kind of new to labview but i'll try to explain the problem as best as i can: I'm trying to pass an image mask (basically an image) to the next iteration of a while loop using local variables. I think the image passes through the loop with the local variable but i can't read from it correctly for some reason. And I don't think the problem has to do with local variables because i've tried using shift registers and that didnt work either. I think the problem is that you need to do something to read the image correctly again, like using IMAQ copy or something (that didnt work tho), but i can't figure out what the problem is. Does anyone know what the problem is? I know this isnt a great explanation and if its too confusing i could send some snapshots of the program or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated though.
Thanks,
Will

So i attached 2 snapshots of the program to give a better idea of the problem. The first snapshot shows an image getting written to the local variable SavedMask. The second snapshot, which is run on the next iteration of a while loop, shows the local variable SavedMask being read to other image operations. When i run the program, the SavedMask image is always displayed correctly on the front panel, but i can't read from it for whatever reason. I think the problem could be like you said, that im only passing an imaq reference, and i think theres a certain way to extract the image data. Do you know the correct way to extract the image data or how to pass the image data and not just a reference to the data.

How to use local variables declared in b/t the methods in other views

Hi
i need to use the value of the local variables declared in b/w the views in one other view,as i have manipulated the value based on some condition & want to use it in 1 more view for my req.,but that variable is not global one just for once i need to use it,and i can't again write the whole for its conditions,as its there in initialization view,which if coded again,can hit the functionality there,so is it possible to use the value of such local variables thereafter or not,if yes pls let me know,or i need to declare the global variable for this.

hi,
1.Declare an Attribute in Component controller.
2. Pass the value to this Attribute in View V1.
using :
wd_comp_controller->Att = 'Saurav'.
3. Now in view2 , you can access this Attribute using:
data lv type string.
lv = wd_comp_controller->Att .
Here Att is my attribute of type string declared in component controller.

How to use local variables in control files for loading data

i want to count the number of records which have odd number like...
Data in data.txt
1 a
2 b
3 c
So my count = 2, i will write this to another file.
Plz help me how to achieve this

If you want to extract some rows from a file and write them to another one, why do you need Oracle? What is your requirement?
Or are you asking out of curiosity how can this be done in Oracle?
You can create an external table for this input file, select the rows you want from it and write them to another file using utl_file.
External tables: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/et_concepts.htm#SUTIL011

How to use the variables used in the message mapping

Hi ,
In the message mapping we can declare variables in the JAVA section , these variables could be used across the mapping .
I have tried using it but I am unable to retrieve the values assigned to the variables in one UDF into the another UDF .
Please guide me how to use the variables declared in the JAVA section in the message mapping .
Thanks
Anita Yadav

Anita,
I have worked on the Global variables and i found no issues. Make sure that the variable is declared in the Declaration Section and then initlaized in the Initialization section.
If you declare a variable in the Declaration Section ,
int i;
then in any udf you can use if directly. No need to re declare the variable in the UDF. If you do this, then it becomes a local variable.

Bhavesh

Problem using local variable in event loop

I have a state machine from which I want to monitor various controls, including "Start" and "Stop" buttons. Not every state needs to monitor the controls. At present, most states run timed loops. In the first state that reads the front panel, I have an Event structure (inside a While loop) that monitors the various controls' Change Value events. For numeric controls, I update variables (in shift registers) as needed. The "Start" button is used to end the While loop controlling the Event structure, allowing the State to exit to the next state.
My problem comes in subsequent states that employ this same idea. Here, I put a Local Variable bound to the Start button and use the same code, but it frequently happens that when I enter this particular state, I cannot "turn on" the control -- I push the button, but it stays off. Curiously, if it was On when I enter, I can turn it off, but then I'm stuck not being able to turn it on.
I mocked up a very simply routine that illustrates this. There are two sequences (corresponding to the two states). Both use an Event loop with a local variable bound to my Stop button (really this is an LED control with custom colors). I've deliberately moved the "initialization" (the declaration of the control in the block diagram) out of the Event loops -- putting it inside the first loop modifies the behavior in another strange way.
Here's my thinking on how I would expect this to work: The code outside Event Loop 1 should have little effect. Assume the Stop button is initially Off. You will "sit" in Event Loop 1 until you push the Stop button, changing its value to True; this value will be passed out of the Event case and cause the first While loop to exit. You now enter the second sequence. As I understand the Exit tunnel, it defaults to "False", so I'd expect to stay in the second Event loop until I turn the Stop button from On to Off, which will pass out a False, and keep me in the While for one more button push. However, this doesn't happen -- I immediately exit, as though the "True" value of the Stop local variable is being seen and recognized by the Event loop (even though it hasn't changed, at least not in the context of this second loop).
An even more curious thing occurs if I start this routine with the Stop button turned on. Now I start in my Event loop waiting for a change, but this time the change will be from On to Off, which won't cause an exit from the frame. This will be reflected by having the While loop count increment. We should now be in the state of the example above, i.e. in an Event loop waiting for the control to be pushed again, and turned On. However, clicking the control has no effect -- I cannot get it to "turn on".
Where am I going astray in my thinking? What is it about this method of doing things that violates the Labview paradigm? As far as I can tell, what I'm doing is "legal", and I don't see the flaw in my reasoning, above (of course not -- otherwise I'd have fixed it myself!). Note that because I'm using local variables inside Event loops (and I'm doing this because there are two places in my code where I want to do such testing), the Stop control is not latching (as required). Is there something that gets triggered/set when one reads a latched control? Do I need to do this "manually" using my local variable?
I'll try to attach the simple VI that illustrates this behavior.

Actually, that's OK. NOT OK is having multiple event structures in the same sequence structure.

That's interesting. I had always thought I read more messages discouraging such a thing rather than saying it was okay. Your link lead me to another thread with this message. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=245793#M245793. Now that thread was mainly concentrating on registered user events which would be a different, but related animal.
So if you have 2 event structures they each have their own event queue? So if you have a common event, one structure pulls it off its event queue and it does not affect the other structure's event queue? I guess the inherent problem with this particular VI was that the second event structure locked the front panel. Since the code never got to that 2nd event structure because the first loop never stopped because the change was from true to false. After reading your post and the others, I did some experimentation and turned off the Lock front panel on the 2nd structure, and that prevented the lockup of the program.
Overall, the example VI still shows problems with the architecture and I think your answer should put the original poster on the right track. I think as a rule I would probably never put the same event in multiple structures, I feel there are better ways to communicate the same event between different parts of a program, but I learned something by reading your reply and about how the event structures work in the background. Thanks.

How to include a variable in a formula calc

Hi,
I need to do some calc formula to help my report but I encounter a problem.
I use this formula to erase some data from my channel but the formula don't reconize my variables.
R4 = CMax(Ch("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE"))
Call DataBlDel("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE_SMT",ChnFind("Ch(""[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE"")>R4",1),2000,1)'... ChnNoStr,ChnRow,ValNo,ValDelOnly , but the formula for the ChnRow don't see the variable R4, and if I put " before R4( to make R4 green) I receive an error : Expected ')'.
Please tell me how I can use a variable in a formula , so the formula can see it.
Thanks

Hi marse,
The smiley face inserted by the text editor got in our way. If you replace the smiley face in my reply with a "close-parenthesis" character, then the code will run correctly. I have to admit, though, that there does appear to be a logic error, despite the fact that the code ran correctly on the data set I tried it with. But finding the row of the peak is something you can do less ambiguously and more easily with the PNo() function:
R4 = CMax(Ch("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE")) Row = PNo("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE", R4)Call DataBlDel("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE_SMT", Row, 2000, 1)

Possible to use local variables in Calculation Manager

Hi,
I'm using calculation manager in EPMA for the first time. Have not found any function for using "local variables", i.e. variables that can be used for fixing on the current members a user has selected in a form. Do someone know if it is possible to use that functionality in calculation manager? And in that case, how do I find it?
Thanks!
Regards
Mats

Hi,
I guess you are referring to local variables in Essbase Administration Console. When you are in calculation manager (System View), you can go to Tools->Variables. There you can create variables at application, database (global) or business rule level (local variable). You can use these in Business rules by placing the name in curly bracket {...}.
The usage of the variables in the forms is the same as before.
If however, what you meant to say by local variables is substitution variables, yes you can use them in Calc manager the same way you use in calc script.
Cheers,
Alp

You cannot avoid hard parsing - as the 1st time a SQL statement (like the SELECT or DELETE statements in your code) is encountered, it does not reside in the server's Shared Pool, and needs to be added into the pool via a hard parse.
Bind variables does not prevent hard parsing. Hard parsing happens when the SQL statement (with or without bind variables) is a brand new statement encountered by the server.
Bind variables enables the same SQL cursor to be reused, by simply changing the bind variable value.
Not using bind variables means that each SQL statement is unique and not shareable - as the value is hardcoded into the statement and cannot be changed via a bind value. This typically means LOTS of different SQL statements (where the only difference is the changed value in the statement) are created - with each statement being a new statement not seen before in the Shared Pool and needing to be hard parsed.
One does not design one's code not to be hard parsed. There ALWAYS will be a hard parse in order to get a SQL statement into the Shared Pool. One designs one's code to REUSE cursors in the Shared Pool.
