Input data on parent

I'd like to input data on parent account and then allocate the amount on child account with allocation keys. Can I do that with hyperion planning? I'd like to do the same thing with parent and child entities.
Best regards,
Ludovic

Yes - this is possible. In order to do this in Hyperion Planning, your version must be setup as a "Target" version, and not a "Bottom-up" Version.
If you don't want to use a "target" version, designers will sometimes create "proxy" members that represent an upper-level member in a hierarchy (but are actually level 0). These can be used to hold amounts to be allocated. The benefit of this approach is that the amount to be allocated doesn't actually get overwritten with the results of the allocation. This can make testing and validations easier. With that said, these proxy members can be difficult to manage, especially if you need to allocate from many upper-level points in a hierarchy.
Hope this helps,

Input data at Parent Entity

Hi,
We are thinking of creating a "Input" rule for parent entities for a scenario for an account and have couple of questions
1. My assumption is, when we write the rule, it by default enables input for all parent entities and no need to put any condition for POV. Correct?
2. Account should NOT be tagged as "IsCalculated" and should be "ISConsolidated". Correct?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First question: I don't think it uses parent entities by default, or any POV by default for that matter. We specify each POV we want to run the INPUT sub on, whether it be entities, accounts, custom dimensions, periods, year, etc. Just be aware that once you run an INPUT rule on a parent entity, it never uses the numbers loaded or entered in the base entities. It's a case where the sum of [Contribution Total] of the children Do NOT EQUAL the <Entity Currency> of the parent.
Second question: If the account is tagged IsConsolidated, it should work only starting with the parent entity since it ignores all date in children entities. Also, we do have accounts that have INPUT rules on them but that aren't tagged as IsCalculated, and it works fine.

Is it a best practice to Input Data directly to Parent Currency ?

Dear Gurus,
I understand this question is very simple, but I am wondering is it a best practice to Input data directly into <Parent Currency>?
I am having a scenario where users do translation in Oracle and they wish to see the same number in HFM. As the process that they follow is unique in nature by Entity->Account [OR] for all Entities->Account, creating Override accounts is not helping us and rapidly increasing the Override hierarchy month-on-month.
Thanks...
Satya

By overriding the accounts, I assume you are referring to accounts that are translated historically as opposed to the default translation performed by HFM?
If so, I have seen two general approaches to achieve this:
a) Allowing the user to directly override the translation at IsTransCurr (i.e. <parent currency> if parent is in a currency other then entity)
b) Entering in a special currency rate in a rate account and then adjusting the translate routine to translate your account by that rate.
I personally, am a bigger fan of the first option.

Advice on inserting data at parent level

Hi experts,
I would need some advice on how can I enter data at parent level. As we cannot enter data at parent level I am figuring out different strategies to do so. The one I seem to like the most is to create members representing the parents where we can input the data. For example:
- 2008.Total (Parent)
    + 2008.Generic (Leaf)
    + 2008.Jan (Leaf)
    + 2008.Feb (Leaf)
    + etc....
I would need to do this in different dimensions in my application. So here are the questions:
1) Is there anything wrong about doing this?
2) Is there a better option? (what is the Best Practice in this case?)
3) In the case of doing this for the TIME dimension, there are some properties which value is not easy to set for those members (TIMEID, YEAR and LEVEL). I don't really know where and how those properties are used and the help doesn't help me much (what is the "time format required for Analysis Services"?). So what values have you used in these properties for such members?
Thank you very much,
Rafael

Hi Rafael,
What purpose is your application designed for? In a legal consol application, would never mess with the standard time dimension setup, in particular the time dimension. The setup of the Time.Level and Time.Year properties are very sensitive in the operation of some of the business rules, particularly the opening balances & account transformation rules (where there's a time-period offset functionality). I always try to retain the standard time dimension setup there.
This means, for example, using a seperate datasrc member (or members) if the customer insists on having "13th period" for year-end adjustments. If they don't go into December along with the standard December values, then the carry-forward opening balances for the following year can be very tricky to calculate.
If your application is purely analytics, or for planning, then you should still understand what business rules features you want to use before deciding the time dimension design. When I've had year-total input data, I either
1.) use a standard 12-month time dimension, and by practice always put total-year data in December. Set up input schedules appropriately, and train people appropriately. Use Dec not Jan, or else the year-total and periodic/YTD computations in the cube won't work correctly. And consider your Account.Acctype carefully.
2.) If the data is for annual values that aren't directly part of the P&L or B/S, and are things like allocation drivers, tax rates, inflation rates, stuff like that -- which doesn't get added up along with the monthly values to come to a total-year "full picture" -- then I follow the structure from the old Outlooksoft demo. Create each of your years with the standard 12 months. Then create
Input.Year
xxxx Input.Quarter
xxxxxxxx 2008.Input
xxxxxxxx 2009.Input
xxxxxxxx 2010.Input
etc.
Then set your YEAR = 2008,LEVEL=MONTH for 2008.Input, etc.
This approach works well in logic *LOOKUPs and also keeps the dimension structure clean & intuitive for end users. If you put your 2008.Input under 2008.Q1 or 2008.Q4, then every time someone lays out or drills down in a report, they will curse the designer, since they now need to remove that extra column of the 2008.Input member.
With the datasrc approach for the "13th month" you can control whether the year-end adjustments are there or not, for those few reports where you'll want to see them. And 99% of the time, your time dimension "looks" normal.
I'm sure there are other approaches beyond what I've discussed, but I've never gotten into trouble using one or both of these two.

Tim

Not able to input data in query analyzer

Hi buddies,
I am working on IP.I have created a input ready query.For few values of company code there is no transaction data available,but it should show us blank so that I can atleast punch data.I am able to punch data for company codes for which transaction data is avilable .For remaining company codes for which transaction data is not availbale it is showing yellow coloured rows not allowing to input data.
Solutions would be really appreciated.This is high priority issue.
With regards,
Lalitha

Hi,
1) if you have no transaction data, it will not show you the company codes, unless you select in your query definition "master data' instead of posted values in the query properties (for company code)
2) yellow lines are subtotals.... To enable it input ready
- set query to input ready in query properties
- set row to plannable in query properties
- very important: make sure each characteristic of your aggregation level has a unique value either in the filter definition or in the definition of your rows or columns. If not, your query will not be plannable

How to retrieve input data from a HTML form in the UTF-8 cha

I encountered the following problem with a JWeb Application:
I tried to write a JWeb-Application for OAS 4.0, that retrieves
input data from a HTML form and writes it into an Oracle
database.
All processing should be done in the UTF-8 character set.
The problem is, that the form data retrieved by getURLParameter
are always encoded in a non-unicode character set and I found no
way to change this.
Can anybody tell me what I should do to get the form data in the
UTF-8 character set?

Hi
Try set in the JWEB application's Java environment such
SYSTEM_PROPERTY: file.encoding=UTF8.

Last day of each month in a year based on a Input date?

Hi all,
I have a request from a customer who wants to have a yearly report created in BEx Query Designer which starts in January up to December and they want to have a Month To Date (MDT) and Year to Date (YTD) calculation of a key figure. This report will only show one year at the time based on the date the user give as input at the Variable Screen.
This key figure should be calculated by using the last date of each month for input when performing the MTD and YTD calculation and summarizations.
Example:
January: 31.01.2008  Key Figure = 1000. MTD = 1000 and YTD = 1000
February: 29.02.2008  Key Figure = 2500. MTD = (2500-1000) 1500 and YTD = 2500
March: 31.03.2008  Key Figure = 6000. MTD =(6000-2500)=3500 and YTD = 6000
Etcu2026.
This means that I have to have a lot of hidden Key figures which gets restricted on the different month end dates and formulas to calculate the different MTD and YTD results for the months as the year progresses.
The way I have solved it now is that I have a Customer Exit which gives me the Last day of last year (Exp: 31.12.2007) based on input date and use a Offset on the last day of last year date to get the different last dates of each month.
Since we have a leap year (one extra day in February) this year, the offset to calculate the end month dates will be different for 2007 and next year (2009). This solution is not very flexible, and it will not give the correct MTD and YTD if the customer wants to go back to 2007 and off course next year (2009).
One solution is to create 12 Customer Exits that gives me the different month end dates (January-December), and also takes in account leap year for February for the different years. These Exits will be based on the Input date the Customers put in at the variable screen.
I would rather want to avoid making 12 new customer exits and want your advice and expertise to find out if this is possible in any other way (maybe with only 1 customer exit) to get the last date of each month based on an input date.
Thanks for all your advices on beforehand.
Regards
Oddmar Lid

Hi,
Thanks for you replay and documentation, but it doesn't give me excatly the functionality I'm after. The only MTD calculation code the document provides is the calculation of the following functionality:
"Month to Date (MTD) u2013 From the 1st of month to u201CKey Dateu201D - for current year." This doesn't give the the functionality I want, which is to retrieve a given vaule for a Key Figure for the last dates of the months in a year to calculate MTD and YTD.
This way I have created the query is to have multiple hidden Key Figures that calculates the MTD and YTD.
In Columns in Query Designer it will look something like this:
Selection: MTD January--> Date = 31.01.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
Selection: YTD January --> Date= 31.01.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
Selection: MTD February --> Date= 29.02.2008, Key Figure (Always Hide)
Formula: MTD February --> MTD February - MTD January (Always Show)
Selection YTD February --> Date = 29.02.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
And so on....
This is off course a simplified version, but it shows the core of the solution. What I want to achive here is that the dates used to get the Key Figures (last date of a month) is calculated as flexible as possible, so that the users can go back and forth in time without worrying about the leap year problem and so on. I have now used an offset from the last date of last year and this is good for all the normal years, but when it is a leap year the query will use wrong dates to get the key figure vaule for the last date of each month.
Any ideas on how to achieve this without creating 12 different Customer Exit variables (one for each end date of each month)?
Thanks

Oddmar Lid

How to input data into a table with columns?

I am trying to input data into a table. My table have 5 columns and an unlimited amount of rows. I created a program in LabView that enters the data into the table but it enters all of the data in one row. I would like to enter the first set of information into the first column, the second set of info into the second column and so on. I am including a copy of the program that I am working with. I would like the number of runs to be put into the first column (it should count down like number 5 in first row, number 4 in second row, number 3 in third row, and so on). I would like the applied voltage to be placed in the second column, and so on. Any help or information will be greatly appreciated. I am working with LabView Version 6.1 and 8.0. I am submitting the vi from 6.1.

Pondered,
I looked at your code and I think you might be making things too complicated. I've included a very simple example that demonstrates how to write a 2D array of integers to a table. Hope you find this helpful. It is in LV 7.1.

Background Schedule - Hardcore Input data

Hi Experts
         I am developing a BDC, now i want to schedule the program into background.
        So i want to hardcore the input data like
         Select Method (Genrate session/Call transaction)
         Processing Mode
         Update Mode
         Nodata Indicator.
These data i need to hardcore in the program itself for further processing of background schedule.
          How to do it, pls advise me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rajaram

Hi Rajaram,
As of my understanding do you want to put the following on your selection screen?
Select Method (Genrate session/Call transaction)
Processing Mode
Update Mode
Nodata Indicator
then do so.
There is a structure for call transaction parameters, which you can use for setting of selection screen and can set the default values as wellin initialization event.
Structure name : CTU_PARAMS
Reward pointsif useful.
Thanks & Regards

How to input data in a database table without knowing in advance table and column configurations

Hi,
I have a problem using LabVIEW for input data (manually) in a SQL database. I have about 40 tables in the database, each of them is related to a specific engine component. I need to create a user interface (maybe visualizing the table with a table control) where the users can insert data in the database table fields. Could someone give me some suggestion on how to do it?
Using the DB tools insert data.vi I need to know in advance the column configuration of the table, but in my database each table has its own structure! So do I have to create 40 different masks, one for every different table?
Thanks in advance.
Michela

I have not actually used the LV SQL Toolkit, but I will try and offer high level ideas :-)
when you have retrieved the construction data for a table, you should be able to use array and cluster indexing to aquire the names of the fieds, enough to create a labelled table on the LV Front panel.
After completing a new entry you can INSERT the entry into the database using the same data.
Is the SQL toolkit an additional purchase, or included in newer versions as standard? If you post a sample of the cluster/array that you retrieve, I could give you a sample VI to give you some pointers in creating the User Interface table

8 ----------------
29 30 31
Thanks in advance.

Use Calendar class to get no. of days, week day etc.
For GUI, hope u will tryAll knows that there are so many classes like - Calendar, Date, etc...etc..
Can anybody help with a written code which will give output like that. Bcoz, I tried using Caledar, Date and all. Its giving a problem in month Feb and on leap years. If I get a code which will work fine then it will be fantastic.
Thanks a lot in advance for helps.
