Issue with substitution variable with @MDSHIFT in BR in Calc Manager

Hi Experts,
We have a BR in EAS which is working fine.
and exported to Calcmanager, now while validation it is giving error "@BaseScenario" is not found.
the code is
@MDSHIFT("LFLSalesIncVAT_GBP_C_DHP"->&BaseScenario->"Final"->"CD_FinalPlanPL",-1,"Year",,1,"Period",);
if i hard code it like @MDSHIFT("LFLSalesIncVAT_GBP_C_DHP"->"P7PP"->"Final"->"CD_FinalPlanPL",-1,"Year",,1,"Period",); working fine.
is there any limitation with calc manger and substitution variables?
Thanks
GP

There seems to be many issues with validations in calc manager, does the rule run if you dont validate.
Cheers

BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

Dear experts,
I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100
To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
(The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
PO1 -> 150
PO2 -> 90
PO3 -> 80
Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref characteristic 'constant =1' ...
Any though is welcome!
thanks

Hi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

Patricia

Report script - using substitution variable with multiple values

Hi All,
Substitution variable with multiple values is not working correctly with Report scripts. Can you please let me know what is the syntax to assign multiple values to a sub variable using maxl:
alter database samp.samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4';
alter database Samp.Samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1:Q4';
I tried both of the above but they are errored out with the below error:
Error: 1001005 - Unknown Member [Q1:Q4] in Report.
my requirement is different for both Actual and forecast data extract so i would like to make use of this variable to extract whole year data for Forecast and current quarter data for Actual with out duplicating the report scripts for both processes.
Thanks,
PRaveen

Hi,
Please refer following thread,
range of months in report script?
Hope it helps.

Pb to setup replicated partition with substitution variables

Dear all,
I have the following problem with the replicated partition by using the substitution variables :
I would like to create a replicated partition using 3 substitution variables: &CurrPeriod, &CurrWeek, &CurrYear. The goal of this is to be able to copy data from application SourceApp to TargetApp every week, by changing the subst variables.
The script I have created is :
login useradmin identified by password on EssbServer
alter application SourceApp load database SourceDb
alter application TargetApp load database TargetDb
create or replace replicated partition SourceApp.SourceDb
Area ' "Account1", &CurrPeriod, &CurrWeek, &CurrYear, "ND_DISTRI","ND_PAGE","ND_PROD","VT", "REEL", "EUR" ' SourceArea
to TargetApp.TargetDb at EssbServer as useradmin identified by password
Area ' "Account1",    "M_N",     "S_N",     "FY1" , "ND_DISTRI","ND_PAGE","ND_PROD","VT", "REEL", "EUR" ' TargetArea
+     mapped TargetArea ("&CurrYear") to ("FY1")+
+     mapped TargetArea ("&CurrWeek") to ("S_N")+
+     mapped TargetArea ("&CurrPeriod") to ("M_N")+
+     update allow;+
refresh replicated partition SourceApp .SourceDb to TargetApp .TargetDb at EssbServer all data ;
The issue is that this is not working. I don’t see any data when launching the Maxl script even if the script syntax is validated by essbase. The very strange thing is that when I replace the substitution variable by members, this script works fine, I see my data in the target cube. For example if I replace the subst variables by
Area ' "Account1", “Month1”, “Week1”, “Year1”, "ND_DISTRI","ND_PAGE","ND_PROD","VT", "REEL", "EUR" ' SourceArea
to TargetApp.TargetDb at EssbServer as useradmin identified by password
Area ' "Account1",    "M_N",     "S_N",     "FY1" , "ND_DISTRI","ND_PAGE","ND_PROD","VT", "REEL", "EUR" ' TargetArea
+     mapped TargetArea (“Year1”) to ("FY1")+
+     mapped TargetArea (“Week1”) to ("S_N")+
+     mapped TargetArea (“Month1”) to ("M_N")+
So my conclusion is that there is something wrong with the syntax of the substitution variable in my mapping.
Your help on this would be very appreciated .

Hi,
I have the answer from Oracle support :
Hello,
This is a known bug.
BUG 7418041
This has been documented as a known issue in Essbase Release 9.3.1.3 with the following description: "Partitioning. Using substitution variables in replicated partition mappings incorrectly prevents data from replicating. [7418041]"
Currently the development team are working on a fix, but we don't have a release date yet.
The suggested workarounds are to use member names (which you have confirmed work) or use a Transparent partition in place of a replicated partition.

Web Forms using substitution variables with multiple values

Hi,
I am trying to select a substitution variable in a webform (Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3) with multiple values in EAS, but is not working does somebody knows if this an expected behaviour.
I allready try ex.
&Months = "Jan","Feb", "Mar"
&Months = Jan, Feb, Mar
&Months = Jan:Mar
Please let me know something, since as far as I recall in previous versions of Hyperion Planning this was possible.
Kind Regards

We experienced the same issue, our requirement was that for the first half of the year the substitution variable was = Oct and for the second part of the year Jan:Dec. We were lucky that for the second scenario we had a Total Year member as well (that at the bottom level is Jan:Dec). So on web form we picked Level0 descendants of the substitution variable. That worked fine but not the range.

Financial Reporting (FR) using Substitution Variables with Quotes

HI all,
I've created a substitution variable, &CurWk, for a Period Dimension member. The member name, Dec Wk2, has an embedded space, so I enclose the member name in quotes when assigning it to the substitution variable in EAS. However, when I try to use that substitution variable in Financial Reporting, it does not recognize the Substitution variable. I've closed down and re-opened the FR Studio. If I remove the quotes around the member name when assigning it to the Substitution Variable, then FR will recognize the substitution variable. However, I get an error in the calc scripts if I try to reference the substitution variable if this member name is not enclosed in quotes. In my mind, this seems to be a bug in FR since quotes can be optional when referencing any member name. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a work-around? I'm using EPM 11.1.1. Thanks for your help!
Vince Kelly

Hi Vince,
For the Calc scripts add & to the front of the sub var and surround the sub var with [ ], for example:
where sub vars are ReptQTR, ReptYR, ReptScenario:
CASE
When (Is(QTR.Currentmember,[&REPTQTR]) and (IS(FY.Currentmember,[&REPTYR]))) then
     CASE
     When ((ISUDA(L000.CurrentMember,"NC"))) then
          CASE
          WHEN (ISUDA(L000.CurrentMember,"Expense")) THEN
          (([&REPTPYR],[ACT]) - [&REPTSCENARIO])
          ELSE
          ([&REPTSCENARIO] - ([&REPTPYR],[ACT]))
          END
     END
END

Creating a range with Substitution Variables for Report Script

Is it possible to create a range with substituion varables for use in a report script. For example instead of listing "Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" in the report script can I use a sub varaible like Jan:Apr that will list them all out?

while I have not had luck with ranges in report scripts, others have. You could have a substitution variable the is "Jun" "Jul " "Aug" or whatever you want the members to be. and it will replace jusr fine

Multiple Insertion with substitution Variable

Hi, I want to insert multiple values with single substitution variable in single column. I mean my query is as under.
Add a column to infobb02 called 'Wife' and populate it with first names. If there is no wife, enter null. Write a PL/SQL loop to gather wife names from the 'user' using a substitution variable.
That means I have to insert values of wife column by user using substitution variable and must be use loop.
Thank you.

You'll need a client application capable of prompting. Maybe a shell script or perl? Java? PL/SQL executes on the server and can't prompt.

Loading New Substitution Variables with Esscmd Script

Hi, I posted a topic awhile ago and haven't gotten any responses to help. I was wondering if tehre is a script to load NEW substitution variables into a database using an ESSCMD script. The UPdatevariable doesn't work if you don't already have variables in teh database loaded. I need to load them in. THANKS

while I have not had luck with ranges in report scripts, others have. You could have a substitution variable the is "Jun" "Jul " "Aug" or whatever you want the members to be. and it will replace jusr fine

SQL data Load rule with Substitution variable

Hi,
I have a data load rule with MySQL as a data source. I have requirement where user does not want to see Current day data in cube and they keep changing days not to be loaded.
I have setup the substitution variable SUBv as '2009-11-04' and have scripts to update it daily.
Data Load rule in where condition contains
brand = 'HP' and region = 'east' and date <> &SUBv
Now, above where condition does not work for date <> &SUBv but if I set substitution variable SUBv as "brand = 'HP' and region = 'east' and date <> '2009-11-04' " and set load rule where condition with just &SUBv it would just work fine. I dont know whats wrong in 1st place.
I dont want to create multiple where condition in substitution variable (Don't we have limit on them?). I have 40+ load rules which might use this SUBv substitution variable if I find a way to define it so that it work as "brand = 'HP' and region = 'east' and date <> &SUBv"
Thanks,
Vikram

I did some research and came to know when using substitution variable in Load rule need to keep substitution variable first in string..
It worked out magically.

Assign substitution variable to another substitution variable with truncation of value

I launch a sql*plus .sql script by way of a concurent job. The concurrent job provides a date paramenter to the script. Job log shows the date passed to scrpit as:
Arguments
2013/09/01 00:00:00
For cosmetic purposes in the ouput's heading, I want to convert/truncate the character string to an end-user format of 2013/09/01.
Trying to simply change one substitution variable
(below is not working, but hopefully telegraphs my intention:
UnDefine Low_date
Define Low_date = '2013-09-01 00:00:00'
UnDefine Low_date_10
Define Low_date_10 = 'yyyy-mm-ds'
select substr('&Low_Date',1,10) into &Low_date_10 from dual;
prompt "Variable value is: &Low_date_10"
WHICH PRODUCES:
old:select substr('&Low_Date',1,10) into &Low_date_10 from dual
new:select substr('2013-09-01 00:00:00',1,10) into yyyy-mm-ds from dual
Error starting at line 8 in command:
select substr('2013-09-01 00:00:00',1,10) into yyyy-mm-ds from dual
Error at Command Line:8 Column:55
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00905: missing keyword
00905. 00000 - "missing keyword"
*Cause:
*Action:
old:prompt "Variable value is: &Low_date_10"
new:prompt "Variable value is: yyyy-mm-ds"
"Variable value is: yyyy-mm-dd"
"I need to get to "Variable value is: 2013/09/01"

Hi,
SELECT ... INTO only works in PL/SQL.
In SQL*Plus, you can use COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE, like this:
DEFINE low_date = '2013-09-01 00:00:00'
COLUMN low_date_10_col        NEW_VALUE low_date_10
SELECT REPLACE ( SUBSTR ( '&Low_Date', 1, 10)
                )    AS low_date_10_col
FROM dual;
PROMPT Variable value is: &Low_date_10

Using substitution variable with multiple values in Maxl Command

Hi All,
Is there any option to use multiple values in 1 substitution variable and use them in a Maxl command.
alter database $app_name.$db_name clear data in region '{CrossJoin(CrossJoin(CrossJoin({StrTOMbr(&Months)},{XXX, YYY}),{StrTOMbr(&CURYR)}), {ZZZ})}'physical;
In the above case
Maxl is not working if I have multiple months in &Months Substitution variable.
Let me know if there is an alternate option to implement this.
Thanks
Sathish

What is the value of &Months?
If you put that exact value into the code, does it work?

SQL query with Bind variable with slower execution plan

I have a 'normal' sql select-insert statement (not using bind variable) and it yields the following execution plan:-

I have the same query but instead running using bind variable (I test it with both oracle form and SQL*plus), it takes considerably longer with a different execution plan:-

TABLEA has around 3million record while TABLEB has 300 records. Is there anyway I can improve the speed of the sql query with bind variable? I have DBA Access to the database
Regards
Ivan

Many thanks for your reply.
I have run the statistic already for the both tableA and tableB as well all the indexes associated with both table (using dbms_stats, I am on 9i db ) but not the indexed columns.
for table I use:-
begin
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=> 'IVAN', tabname=> 'TABLEA', partname=> NULL);
end;
for index I use:-
begin
dbms_stats.gather_index_stats(ownname=> 'IVAN', indname=> 'TABLEB_IDX_003', partname=> NULL);
end;
Is it possible to show me a sample of how to collect statisc for INDEX columns stats?

Setting static IP with computer variables with ConfigMgr 2012 R2 + MDT 2013?

Many methods to achieve the same. I've done something similar once with a small PowerShell script like this:

GATP - Issue with substitution rules with validity dates

Hi,
We are using GATP with RBA. Our condition table has plant as a field.
We are planning to have a substitution procedure (rules) defined at plant level.
Our rule control for product substitution list is "Start from top of list"
The issue we are facing is explained below.
The first item in the substitution procedure (rule) cannot have validity dates.
So it will always be balnk. And validity dates can be maintained for other items in the procedure (rule).
What happens in our scenario is when there is a requirement on an item in the substitution procedure (rule) which has a validity date, the first item in the procedure (which can never have validity dates) is never considerd for substituions.
If I remove the validity dates, then the first item in the procedure (rule) is considered for substitutions.
We find this strange and against our business requirement. We want the first item in the procedure (rule) to be considered for substitution ireespective of the validity date for the requested product.
It would be great if you could suggest a method to achieve this.
Thanks & regards,
Arvind.S

Hi Mohan,
Thanks for the response.
We are using back order processing (BOP) for allocation.
We observed that the first item was not getting considered for substitution in the BOP results and also in product view after the BOP run. No stock of that item was allocated for the order taken up in the BOP run.
However, we tried rule evaluation also. It shows the first item also, but in actual allocation the issue exists.
We are not using "start immediately" in check instructions.
Thanks & regards,
Ashok
