Input Query Data disappears

Hi,
   I have created an Aggregate Level on Multiprovider and restricted in the query as follows:
   Currency Key (USD)
   Posting Period (#)
   InfoProvider
   Actual Amt(RKF by Actual Infoprovider) - Read Enabled
   Plan Amt(RKF by Plan Infoprovider) - Plan Enabled
   Input Query starts in change mode
When I execute the query in Bex Analyzer, I can see data in Actual Amt RKF and enter data in Plan Amt RKF.When I save the data it disappears.For save I am using SAVE_AREA command.Any ideas on what is missing in here.
Before I can make my selections complex, I wanted to try this simple one.Also, I can't execute this query from query designer ..some problem with basis setting, I hope that isn't the reason.I got this working when I created the input query on real time provider rather than multiprovider.But I want to make it work with multiprovider as I need to show data from actuals and plan.
Thanks

Ravi,
You tell the system within your RKF by selecting real time infoprovider in addition to the amount.I deleted what I had created earlier to have a clean start.Here are the steps I followed to re-create: (we are working with 0amount, posting period, currency key and infoprovider objects only)
1.Created 2 restricted key figures (RKF1 - 0amount, actual cube and RKF2 - 0amount, plan cube)
2. RKF1 planning properties data cannot be changed and RKF2 planning properties data can be changed by user or planning functions.
3. Created structure in columns and added these two RKF.
4. Added Posting Period to rows and changed display to key.Acess type to Master data and query execution to char rels.
5.Added Currency to rows and changed display to No Display.
6.In the default values, set posting period to 1and set currency key to USD.
7.Added Infoprovider to free char.
8.Added both posting period (1) and currency key(usd) to char restrictions.
9.Opened Bex Analyzer and created the save command.
10. Executed the query, input the data and data disappears.
Cheers

How to copy data from a Input query to real time Infocube

Hi All, I need some help on IP related stuff. The details are as below:
I am using two real time infocubes and one Multiprovider on them.
First Infocube u2018PRODUCTu2019 with the following Objects:
Product Group ,Product,Region ,Fiscal Year , Fiscal Year Varient ,0currency
Gross Sales
Second Infocube u2018C_PRODUCT u2018 with the following Objects:
Product Group ,Product,Region ,Fiscal Year , Fiscal Year Varient ,0currency
Gross Sales and Forecast Sales
( u2018Forecast Salesu2019 in the extra object in the second Infocube. Remaining objects are same in the both the cubes)
First Infocube u2018Productu2019 has data but the second cube does not have any data.
I have created a Multiprovider ZMulti and in that I have included these two cubes. On this Multi Provider, I have created a Aggrigation Level(The details of the aggregation level is provided in the next page).
On this Aggrigation level I have built a Input Query by which I run the report.
(In the Rows area, I have taken Product Group, Product, Region and Fical year.
In the Key Figure section, I have taken Gross Sales and Forecast Sales( which is part of the second Infocube C_Product). These two Key Figures are made Input as Input ready. And the Query is Input ready query. In the Filter, I have taken Fiscal Year Variant. )
Data available in the first cube and no data currently in the second cube. Now executed the report and report displayed information from the first cube.
EX:
Product     Product     Region          Year     Gross Sales     Forecast Sales
Group
PG01           Beer           North           2008           10000           u2026u2026u2026
PG01           Beer          South          2008          20000           u2026u2026u2026
PG01          Beer          East          2008          15000           u2026u2026u2026
The second column is empty and there is no data for the Forecast sales Key Figure in the column.
Things look OK till the above.
Now based on the Gross Sales, I am entering forecast Sales values and I need to save the entire record to the second cube.
For this in the report, I have given the Forecast sales values in the second column and right clicked the mouse and form the menu which I got, selected the u2018SAVEu2019 Option to save the data. For some time, I can see u2018Processingu2019 message and later values at u2018Forecast Salesu2019 are disappearing.
Data is not saving to the cube second cube.
====================================================
Am I missing any thing?
In the Query, Do I need to provide InfoProvider and restrict it to specific value?
In the query, Do I need to include, 0currency object?
Could you please guide me on this?
=============================================
Details of the Aggrigation level.
            I have created an Aggrigation Level ZAL_Prod on MultiProvider.
            Selected all the objects and activated.
            In the Filter, I have taken 0Fiscal Year Variant and saved it.

Restrict Forecast sales to the Plan cube in the Query.
that should fix it.

Error in saving large value with the data input query

Hi,
I am trying to save a large value in 0Quantity using the data input query into a realtime infocube
e-g
123456789.1234
Error says too many digits.
When i try to save 8 digits before the decimal point ,no error, if it is 9digits before decimal it's thro' error.
Is there any limitation before the decimal.
i know that 0Quantity can take 17 digits including the sign.
Any suggestions.?

Input query with dynamic actual & forecast values by month per year

Hello,
I am working on a Input ready query for a forecasting application which shows both actuals and forecast numbers and the user will revise the forecast numbers by month
Requirement: I want to build a Input query for monthly forecasting for the current year. It will be dynamic rolling of months with actuals & forecast data.
E.g. My report has 12 months for the current year
and if run the report in May, the months before May has to show the actuals and the months after May has to show the old forecast data so that the user will revise the numbers again in each month and save the data to the real time cube.
Jan.Feb.Mar.Apr.May.Jun.Jul.Aug.Sept.Nov.Dec
Act Act Act Act Act Old frcst for the remaining months
user will revise forecast for these months
So, i am able to create Input query with all restricted key figures( plan kf has change mode set to change, actual kf are not set change) and calculate key figures and all the logic is done on dynamically moving/rolling the data based on the input month of the year.
But the problem is that i am using cal kf to dynamically roll months, i was not able to set the change option for the cal kf.
So, how can i make sure that the dynamically changed plan months will open for entering forecast and the actuals months not to change?
Do you guys have any better solutions in implementing it?
I really appreciate it your input....:)
Thanks,
Srini

Input-Ready Query
Use
You use input-ready queries to create applications for manual planning. These can range from simple data entry scenarios to complex planning applications.
Integration
You define a query that you want to use for manual planning in the BEx Query Designer (see Defining New Queries).
In the Web Application Designer or the BEx Analyzer, you can combine the input-ready queries with other queries and planning functions to create complex planning applications.
Prerequisites
You can define an input-ready query on any of the following InfoProviders:
●     Aggregation levels (see Aggregation Levels)
●     MultiProviders that include at least one simple aggregation level
The aggregation levels are created in the planning modeler; MultiProviders are defined in the modeling functional area of the Data Warehousing Workbench.
Features
Definition of an Input-Ready Query
Once you have defined a query on an InfoProvider, you see the Planning tab page under the Properties of structural components (for example, in key figures or restricted key figures). The options provided there allow you to determine which structural components of an input-ready query are to be input ready at runtime and which are not. With structural components that are not input ready, you can also determine whether these components are viewed as reference data or are just protected against manual entry.
For the structural components, you also have the following options:
Input readiness of structural components of a query
Option
Description
Not input ready (reference data)
If they are being used as reference data, the structural components are not protected by data locks to ensure exclusive access for one user because this data serves as a reference for many users.
This is the default setting.
Not input ready (no reference data)
If you want to protect structural components against manual entries but allow changes by planning functions, you can use locks to protect this data for one particular user. In this way you can ensure that the planning function works with the displayed data only and not with data that has been changed by other users.
Input ready
You can also determine whether an input ready query is to be started in change mode or in display mode. You find this property in the Query Properties on the Planning tab page. If there is at least one input-ready query component, the query (as long as it has not been determined otherwise) is started in display mode.
In BI applications that use input ready queries as data providers, you can enter data manually at runtime. For more information, see Performing Manual Planning and Creation of Planning Applications.
Example
You want to create an input-ready query for manual planning for a plan-actual comparison of revenues for a set of products. You want the plan data in a real-time-enabled InfoCube and the actual data in a standard InfoCube.
       1.      Create a MultiProvider that includes the InfoCubes for the plan and actual data.
       2.      Define an aggregation level on the MultiProvider which contains the characteristic Product and the key figure Revenue.
       3.      On the aggregation level, create two restricted key figures Plan Revenue and Actual Revenue. For restriction, choose the characteristic 0INFOPROV and restrict it to the plan or actual InfoCube.
       4.      Add the restricted key figures to the key figure structure. Insert Product into the rows. For Plan Revenue, choose Input Ready for the input-readiness option. For Actual Revenue, choose the option Not Input Ready (Reference Data).
       5.      In the query properties, set the indicator that determines whether the queries are started in display or change mode as required.
Example of an input-ready query
Product
Plan Revenue
Actual Revenue
P01
20
P02
30
If you want to keep actual and plan data in a real-time enabled InfoCube, you do not require a MultiProvider for the task described above. Create an aggregation level on the InfoCube and define the input-ready query for the aggregation level. In the example above, a version characteristic acts as the InfoProvider. Create restricted key figures with the plan or actual version and proceed as in the previous example.

Data Disappears from Line Chart in Preview Mode

Help! Line chart data present in design mode, but disappears when in preview mode. I have a dashboard that I update monthly. Simple line charts. Now, the line chart data is visible while in the design view, but does not show up when in the preview view or even when converting it to a PDF or Powerpoint. SWF issue? Inputs are needed!
Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,
The answer to, why the data disappears in runtime mode, depends on how you retrieve the data in your dashboard.
It seems that you have some sample static data in your spreadsheet that shown in design mode. But chances are that this data is set to be overwritten in runtime mode, if you import your data using QAAWS, Live Office or similar.
I would suggest you to add a "spreadsheet table" component (found in the bottom of the Selectors category in the components browser) to your dashboard. Set the spreadsheet table to display some of the cells in the spreadsheet that you expect to get populated during runtime.
In this way you can verify if data is actually present in the relevant cells during runtime.
By the way - this is also a best practice method to test data-retrieval in Xcelsius.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Simon

Navigational Attribute Problem in Input Query

Hi,
I am having a problem in input query implementation which uses a navigational attribute. I have, for eg, only one char 'customer' in rows; i want to exclude the customers with the status D (deleted) from displaying (Status is nav. attr. of customer). I tried this by restricting in filter, Status D-"exclude". But as soon as I do this, query no longer remains input ready! (I also tried putting the same restriction in Default Values area rather than Filter, but ended with the same result )
I discovered that if, furthermore, I put Status in rows (with the above said restriction still remaining), query is again input ready.
Can't we exclude values in the filter on an input query? I want to know if this is a restriction with IP or a bug?

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for the explanation. But this makes me wonder, because due to this restriction one of the BIG advantages queries had over the planning layouts of BPS, seems to be gone. I mean, using navigational attributes for filtering; if we have to always have a single value restriction on a nav. attr., this will really be restricting. Is it expected that this will be changed in a later SP?
And there is another problem that is coming due to this. When I use the exclude filter and also the nav. attr. Status in rows, then the query becomes input ready, but there are warning messges displaying when the query opens saying -
Characteristic Customer has no master data for "C1"
Characteristic Customer has no master data for "C2"
etc... (these are the customers with status D). We are on SP15.
Please suggest what should I do to get rid of these messages?

Calculated field makes data disappear in report

Hi Gurus,
I have here unique problem of data disappearance columns included in the report are
year (time -dim), order number (backlog details - dim) , total backlog (f), rma backlog (f) , shipping backlog (f), hold backlog (f) . All are from same fact table. Now rma , shipping , hold are calculated columns and total backlog is base column.
Filter : Year = 2009 , Order number = 11111 .
result of the above report is (without filter)
2009 ,11111 , 4.0 , 0.0 , 4.0 , 4.0
When I take out hold_backlog column I get the data
2009,11111, 4.0 , 0.0 , 4.0
but when I put the hold_backlog data does not come.
Now when I move any column excluding total_backlog afer order number then I get the data but it gives 0 to all derived column and in session query points to original column taking out the case statement .
Second weird thing here is when i put case statement in hold_backlog as { CASE WHEN USJ_Analytics."Dim USJ Ord Hold"."Hold Id" IS NOT NULL THEN USJ_Analytics."Fact USJ Sales Backlog".Shipping_Backlog ELSE 0 END }
Here automatically not come before after saving.
{ CASE WHEN NOT USJ_Analytics."Dim USJ Ord Hold"."Hold Id" IS NULL THEN USJ_Analytics."Fact USJ Sales Backlog".Shipping_Backlog ELSE 0 END }
May be there is problem in case statement , could you pls help asap as I think this hold column culprit but dont know how ?

Amol,
In the formula for the column causing the error, try adding an IfNull function to put 0 in place of the null, that might work.

Query for records on a block with Query Data Source Type : Procedure

Hi All,
The veriosn of form I'm using is:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.23.2
I have a block based on a procedure.
But when I enetr-query and search for records specific to ceratin criteria even then the result of the Query is all records.
Is Query not allowed on a block with Query Data Source Type : Procedure.
Hope my question is clear.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Arif

When you use a table based block, forms can construct any select with any where clause based on the given inputs. Using a procedure based block, forms cannot "know" which in or out parameter of the procedure corresponds to which item. Even if Forms could pass the value of an item to an argument automagically, the procedure would have to "do something" with the argument, and you´d have to code it.
So, any item that should be used in the where-clause must be mapped to an argument.
Perhaps it would be easier to use a table based block querying a view? For DDL, you could use an instead-of-trigger on the view.

Data disappearing on consolidation

I am using HFM v9.3.1
I have created a new forecast scenario - periodic load (same as other forecast scenarios) already in the metadata
I load data into this scenario into an entity fine but when I run the consolidation the data disappears back to zero
I have checked the new accounts being used and they are all setup as ASSET
I have loaded security, exchange rates, started process control
Can't understand why this is happening as hasn't happened for other scenario setups.
Please advise if you can.

To add to my further testing:
I have tried creating the scenario differently and this did not affect the outcome. I believe it must be the way I have created the specific account codes that I want to use in this scenario.
There are only 26 codes all cashflow related and all rollup into CFF
- All are setup as ASSET
- All are IsConsolidated
- All have Custom1-4 members
- All have enable C1-4 aggr
- All have Submission Group 1
- none IsCalculated
- none IsICP
- base codes all have userdefined1 as CFF
The account setup follows the same as per our standard Balance Sheet hierarchy codes so cannot see what might be causing the data to disappear upon consolidation.
CFF - Cash Flow Forecast
CFCASHCL - Closing cash and cash equivalents
CFCASHOP - Opening cash and cash equivalents
CFNET - Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents
CFOPCF - Operating cash flow
CFAEBITDA - Actual/Adjusted EBITDA
CFEBITDA - Actual EBITDA
CFADJ - Amendment to EBITDA forecast
CFOWCREC - Movement in OWC Receivables, Prepay & Inv
CFOWCPAY - Movement in OWC Payables, Accruals & Prov
CFICOC - Movement in Intercompany Current
CFOPAC - Net cash from operating activities
CFTAX - Taxes Refunded / (Paid)
CFGROUP - Group Costs
CFINVAC - Net cash from investing activities
CFINTREC - Interest Received
CFDIVREC - Dividends Received
CFCAPEX - CAPEX
CFFINAC - Net cash from financing activities
CFINTPAY - Interest Paid
CFDIVPAI - Dividends Paid
CFICONC - New Borrowings / ( Repayments)
CFPF - Net movements in principal funds
CFPFREC - Movement in PF Receivables
CFPFPAY - Movement in PF Payables
CFOTHER - Other
Be grateful for further input on the matter.
Thanks

Linking Excel spreadsheet to input query

Hi,
I have created an input query in IP. Users have requested to link their spreadsheets into the query as apposed to manully inputting data. Is there any way of doing this. The only way I can see is wrting a macro to poulate the input query. Has anyone come across a better solution.
Thanks
Rex

Hi Rex,
the 1200 should be the numeric value of your reference cell. That is what SAP shows. It does not show the SETformula because amanual entry would delete the formula. Are you sure the link is lossed? Did you try to change the value again in the reference cell.
also note the formula is only showed if you clic on the cell otherwise NV is showed.
I haven't use this myself but came across this functionality during my BI IP course. There it is also noted that:
1) you have to make sure you never type in values in the planquery directly (because then you loose your formula). Instead you need to reference to another cell which can be changed manually.
2) it can not be used with calculated key figures
3) also restrictions on your query: maximum one structure is allowed in the rows one in the colums and if applicable all other dimensions in the free characteristics.

Input-Query New Rows

Hi,
I have created an input query, when I use this query in the WAD, I'm able to modify key figures but I'm not able to add new rows I have a message. "No New rows or column added because not all characteristic have a key cell.
Thanks to give me some idea.
Eric

Hello,
That was a one valuable suggestion.
I have created a Text characteristic to add a description. In my scenario I am adding in my input ready query a field to add free text for assets bought. This works fine in BEx, but when I try to add it in WAD it is checking against master data which obviously doesn't exist, as the whole idea is to add a free text. As you explained in your response you need to display characteristic in the rows as key and optional text (I don't see optional text for selection). I am not sure what am I missing.
You know how to overcome this issue?

Sachin

Input Query

Hello,
I have created the real time cube -> Multiprovider -> Aggregates . In aggregates i have se;ected 15 objects.
While creating the input Query. The system is forcing me to select all the 15 objects in Rows and Columns if i need to enter the data for the same.
I would like to select only couple of objects from the 15 .. is it possible or i need to select all the objects...
th

No it is not possible to have only few Infoobjects of teh Aggregation Level and try to enter new rows.
All the Infoobjects of the Aggregation Level are to be either in rows/columns or in Filter restriction.Only then the query will be input enbaled with new rows.
Also in case a Filter has more than one value restricted then that characteristic also should be in drilldown inorder to make the query input enabled.
Hope this info helps!
Regards, Hyma
