Input Form/Reports Refresh time

Hi all,
We have input form/reports which takes about 45 seconds to refresh which is ok for the first time but the frustration from the user community is that every subsequent refresh also takes 45 seconds for even a small change. Is that possible to reduce time on the subsequent refresh time?
Please share.
Thanks,
D

Hi Devang,
Refresh means that all data on the form have to be read from database. You can play with user settings: Refresh only Expanded and Inserted Members; Refresh only Data on "Save & Refresh Data", but not sure it will help.
In general, the initial refresh for 45 seconds is a bit long. Do you have not default measures and dimension member formulas in the report?

BPC 10.1 Unified Model - Is it a must to have BEx query to create an input form/report?

Dear All,
Have a cube(Unified) created in BW 7.4.
To create an input form using that cube(unified), Is it mandatory that I need a BEx query for the input form/report?
i.e. To create an input form/report in BPC 10.1 Unified environment using a Unified model, is it a MUST to have a BEx query in place? Or, can I create an input form using 10.1 Unified model without BEx query using 10.1 Unified model?
Thank you!
Regards,
Peri

Hi Peri,
It doesn't matter what you include in the rows and what in columns or free characteristics: think of it as a sub-cube of the original cube. You are basically listing Dimensions you need in a group of you reports and can add new measures.
In BPC report you'll arrange them on the screen, format, protect, etc.
So, some of it is a repeat (not all tho), but for different purposes.
Hope this helps,

Why does my Numbers app in iPad mini doesn't have any INPUT FORM tab every time I press the " " sign?

This is my first time using the Numbers App which I thought could organize my research data collection and at the same time speed up the summary and analysis of the data as well. However, I can't start on with it because I'm stuck with how to find the INPUT FORMS tab anywhere else in the screen. The tutorials instructed to tap the "+" button but in my app, after tapping the symbol it only adds new sheet, it doesn't show the "new sheet, new form" selection. I'm really confused and I want to know how to get it right. Please help me if I needed something to correct this

Hey lilianville!
I have an article here that seems to explain what you are trying to achieve:
Numbers for iOS (iPad): Enter data into a table cell
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3370
Specifically, these are the steps that will help you complete your desired goal:
Note that it seems as if you would have to have a table created in order to enter forms as you desire. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

thanks so much,
Hungth

Hi Hung,
This is not an issue.
All BS accounts are stored as YTD. Whatever value you see in Mar will be seen in Q1, values in Jun will be same when you look for Q2.
This is by design behaviour.
P.S. - BS gives snapshot of company's financial position at a given point of time. Data from previous periods is never summed up unlike PL accounts.

SAP BPC 10 - Error on Refreshing Reports Input Forms

Hi all,
We are working on an BPC 10 Consolidation project for the Netweaver Version.
We setup the Environment, Dimensions, Models, etc. We created a few reports too using the Excel interface.
These were tested and they worked well.
However, then one day we started getting this message, whenever we opened any Report or Input Form -
"The Report that was defined is invalid - at least one of the axis contains no members."
We observed that this message appeared when there was no data available for EPM Context (Current View) given.
In short -
- The data is pulled out in the report, where for a CV there is data available.
- However, if the CV is changed to something which has no data available, the report does not go blank (i.e. does not get refreshed) and it keeps showing the old figures.
We tried opening reports in the SAP delivered IFRS Starter Kit too but got the same message.
We are not able to locate what went wrong. Did we change any option by mistake.
If anybody has faced this message and got it resolved or has an idea why this message might be appearing, please reply.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks!
Rajneesh

Hi Rajneesh,
Check whether you have both the row-axis and column-axis of the input template through 'edit report'.
Probably your input template has some member dimensions missing in your template.
We have faced the same problem before and corrected it.
This error occurs sometimes when we create a input template by clearing defining the row & column axis in the template but afterwards try some EPMOlapmember in any axis by deleting the original report elements.
So check the input template once again. I think you will track the error.

Using elements from input forms to use in reports...can it be done?? XML maybe?

Hi,
I am required to create a large number of input forms. For each form item, there is a heading to describe what the form item collects and also additional descriptive text, such as units of measurements etc.
I intend to create a report that will loop through and display this captured data on a per day basis. As there could be several forms of data multiplied over several days or weeks, this will return a lot of data
eg.
Day 1
          Data 1
          Data 2
          Data 3 etc...
Day 2
          Data 1
          Data 2
          Data 3 etc...
Day 3
          Data 1
          Data 2
          Data 3 etc...
etc........
In addition to the data captured in the database, i also need to furnish the returned data in the report with the headings and descriptive text that was on the forms so that the context of the data is apparent.
I have thought about how i may acheive this
1. check each data item returned and append the appropriate text (could involve hundreds of checks against hundreds of data items....Yikes seems like a bad way to do this
2. maybe theres another way....reading around i wondered if XML could be used ( i have no experience with XML)
if the form was constructed with XML, and when the report runs, the returned data is able to be linked to the appropriate XML section and the descriptive text could be appended, rather than be subjected to numerous if...else statements....is this feasible with XML? how could i achieve this?
Sorry if this is unclear or not what XML is about and i'm way off...I'm learning this stuff as i go along so only have the internet and forums to bounce ideas off.
Thanks for reading this and if you've got any ideas about how i might achieve this with XML or not...i'm very open to suggestions
Cheers

Database is MySQL

Depending on what needs to be done, the type of database and the complexity of the data, I have found that simply entering the data into the database and running a query out of a Sharepoint server or even Excel will usually suffice unless there is something in play that we don't know about.
>> Yes i can query the database and use those results, what i also want to use is the extraneous elements, such as headings, descriptive text e.g for an input field that captures temperature, you would have

Temperature:      [ Input temp in box here]     degree centigrade
I want to know if there is a way of reusing these from my forms into my report by using XML, rather that some onerous checking process to append the text to returned data.
Thanks for taking the time to consider this..

Multiple reports in same sheet used as input form

Hi,
I am using the Excel EPM Add-In and I would like to use different reports in the same sheet, going with the same connection to the same Planning Book and Data View in APO DP. I would like to use them all as an input form (I already checked 'Use as Input Form in the sheet options). When I try to upload adapted data from the first report, this works well, but when I try this from the second report, I get the error 'There is no data to save'.
Can anyone help me on this issue?
Kind regards,
Kristof

Hello Hassan,
I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but I suppose you always have to do the following steps:
- Log on to the system (your usual SAP user and pw)
- Create a report:
- Choose the characteristics you want to see and always take the Key Figures (Row Axis) and Time (Column Axis) into the report (in the example, I only took the Product characteristic)
- Click on the dimensions you have chosen and select what you want to see in your report (I often take 'All members')
- Press 'OK', normally you should now see the data you chose.
Kind regards,
Kristof

Hi Hungh,
If your are using BPC 10 with EPM add in client, you can use the function:

This function retrieves the properties of a specified dimension in a specified cell range.

Report error with the input form using the VC BI integration wizard

Hello All,
I've created a report using the BI integration wizard in visual composer. I've configured the query with the 'Free Form' query template also I've defined the filters there. This is working fine and giving me the report output. When I deploy this , I could see
a start point for the data service.
But instead of the start point with the default values for the filters , I want to have an input form for the users to enter the field values. I added the input form in place of start point. But it's not working even though it doesn't give any error while deploying this report. It gives the following error when I run this report.
" Data service error occurred,cannot execute OLAP queryCannot get data set: Cannot get data set".
Could anybody help on this.
Thanks
Alok

Hi Sandeep,
I'm already draging it from the query input port. Are you referring a different way? How I could have the input variables in the query which I'm creating using the BI integration wizard. To get this input variable I'm trying to add the input form.
Am I doing anything wrong here ?
Pls help.
Thanks

Refreshing the Analyzer Form Reports

Hi ,I am facing one major problem with the complex views developed in Form designer. I created form reports with "Jump to a view" button, "services" button and "Text" controls. I am usning the Java applet web client.Problem : when i browse these reports using the internet explorer, all the controls present on the report are not appearing initially. When i minimize and maximize the screen, then all the controls will appear.Do you have any suggestions. I would appreciate any help given or any suggestions.Thanks a lot in advance..Regards..Rao

Hi Geogi,
I guess I was not clear in my earlier post.
As you said, I have already set the Hyperlink to 'Display'. But the problem is, when the contents of the Show form are displayed, a new window opens.
I do not want a new window to be opened. Instead, I want the contents on the Show form to be displayed in the same window (that is, where the renderItemList contents are displayed).
More specifically, I just want the contents of the renderItemList window to be refreshed and replaced by the Show form content.
Any idea how to go about this?
I hope I am clearer now.

Dynamic Input form with PLAN and Actual Confusion (YEAR-row / MONTH-Column)

Hi Guru's,
Assume that
Row Axis: YEAR
Column Axis: MONTH
Page Axis: VERSION
From the VERSION dimension, we re able to get Budget Year and the latest Actual Month.
For example, As u see below, the budget year is 2014 and we retreive + or - 2 years of budget year which is 2014.
And the latest actual month is Jun.
So is it possible to make a dynamic report that can retreive actual data for the budget year and latest actual month of selected VERSION and also rest of the cells should be inputtable.
By the way, we have a dimension which named as for the PLAN , ACTUAL etc.
So what do you suggest for that case? Is there any way to handle without VBA?
Thanks to all in adv.

Hi Sadi,
I agree Vadim, you do not need extra dimension for time. You can "report" in Bex analyzer with this format but BPC reporting/input schedules is not dynamic enough. Because you can not use property in axis but in Bex it is possible. Maybe you can change input form design because where is other contex in your form, 2012.01 what, price or stocks or sth? You have to specify account and entity. I think it is useless design to input data. I added figure for sales model. In this figure, you can manage actual / budget with "if" and "today" excel formulas. And you can easily link your olap member in column axis. I think it will help you.
Best regards
Haşim.

Importing spreadhseets from input forms for bulk uploads

Hi,
I believe you can export the results of a report / page to an excel spreadsheet, but can you import a spreadhseet for bulk upload from an input form ? The reason I am asking is we don't want to allow the users of the input form "developer" rights (i.e loading spreadsheets from SQL workshop), but we do want to allow them the ability to bulk populate tables from spreadsheets. Alternatively can you set the developer rights to only allow bulk uploads and nothing else ?
thank you
Tim

I'd like to know this too.

Create Input Form

I started to build a Fusion App with EJB-JPA business layer.
I am working to create an Input Form but I can't follow exactly the paragraph 26.6 of Fusion Dev. Guide (create an Input Form) because I can't have a createInsert operation on my DataControl.
How can I create an Input Form into application whit DacaCOntrol created from EJB-JPA business components ?

I am very frustrating , it is ever more clear for me that it's impossible to build a nice Fusion App without to use the SDF BC .
In this case I have a entity , Account .
Simply I want to create a form to insert all fields of Account.
Then I dragged the accountFindAll collection from data control and dropped it as ADF Form.
After, I have created 1 methodAction to call the persistAccount (Account) method and one action to initially have an Account object as current row of accountFindAll iterator.
Seem all ok , or not ?
Instead I have a lot of problem :
1) when using the page to insert Account and after return to other page listing all Account , I see 2 Account created with the same data, one is Account really inserted in DB and another is Account stored in current row of accountFindAll iterator
2) when I reuse the insert page in the second time the account form is populated with data previously inserted
please help me ... I want to make a form to create a Simple object but I have a EJB-JPA business layer ,not ADF BC , it's possible ???
