Location aliases on Planning plan type

Hi.
We are going to use @XREF function over Planning plan types.
As I created a new Planning application, I noticed that location aliases have been automatically created ( RevCube, PnlCube, BsCube ): in fact, I can found them in HSP_CUBES table. Using Administration Console, I can find them also on databases; however passwords are not set.
I was wondering how to set password or change location alias name through Planning web pages.
Or I have to manually change it in HSP_CUBE table? However, by this way it seems that refreshing database through Planning Administration's menu does not change location aliases.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
The location aliases are created when you run a create from planning, the amount of location aliases that are created depends on the amount of plan types, it may look like there is no password but it has been set and is used.
You shouldn't need to change of the details.
Cheers

  • Location aliases for planning DB corrupted: Causes Essbase 1042003 Error

    Hello,
    This is the first time I am running into this. This particular application is on 9.3.3 and was working fine till couple of days ago. The app has 4 DBs including Capex and Wrkforce. Using Smartview/add-in, when I try to connect to Capex/Wrkforce, I get network error 1042003 : Unable to locate servername in hosts file. I can connect to other applications on same server environment without any issues.
    I was checking around and found that essbase location aliases are not being created correctly through planning refresh. The server name is server.region.corp.global but location alias get server.region.corp.glo. It is chopping off 'bal' from global in servername.
    Is this a configuration issue? How can we get this fixed?
    Thanks,
    Amit

    I believe we have figured this out. It was related to server name length. We use fully qualified server names that are longer than 30 characters and EAS/Essbase does not like that for some of the functionality. Moreover, not just the servername but 'servername:1423' should be less than 30 characters if you need any functionality such as partition to work.
    I think this might be an EAS limitation but this is a 'feature' I can live without.

  • Setting Location Aliases in Hyperion Planning

    Is there a way to change the names of the location aliases in Hyperion Planning so that when the XREFs are created to move across databases they include the desired alias?
    For example, Plan Type 1 is called GLedger. Plan Type 2, Report, references GLedger as "__BsCube__." Is there a way to change that to whatever value I'd like?

    There may be an easier way to do this, but here's what I'd try:
    1) Make sure the new location alias has been created.
    2) Export the Planning app to the file system via LCM.
    3) Use a tool like TexRep to do a bulk "Find & Replace" across the various XML fiiles exported using LCM. Replace the old Location Alias Name with the New Location Alias Name.
    4) Reimport the formulas via LCM.
    5) Remove the old and unused Location Alias.
    6) Deploy and make sure your changes stick.
    7) Test
    FWIW, TexRep (or a similar tool) is very useful for any bulk changes that need to be applied to LCM export files.
    Hope this helps,

  • Error validating business rules containing variable from another plan type.

    We have created few business rules in in plan type "Plan1" which we are using variable from plan type "Capex". This is how we are using it.
    "(@XREF(cpx,"Intangible Assets Finite, Gross","Unspecified","No Project","Information Technology (IT)","371064911-01"))"
    But when we validate this rule it gives the following error
    "An error occurred in: Rule:IFLJAN13.Plan1.B - Trail Balance - Capex
    A validation error was received from the Planning server 'http://hptstorg:8300/HyperionPlanning/servlet/HspAppManagerServlet?appname=IFLJAN13'.
    'Error:The member 'Unspecified' cannot be found.
    The member 'Unspecified' cannot be found.
    The member 'Intangible Assets' cannot be found.
    The member 'Unspecified' cannot be found.
    The member 'Unspecified' cannot be found. Rule IFLJAN13.Plan1.B - Trail Balance - Capex'."
    We have checked the location aliases using EAS Console and they are correct.

    Could you pls. check if you can see your BR in the location for the cube where you are unable to validate the rule?! (EAS console --> Administration --> Locations --> (right click) open)
    your user must be able to "validate or launch" the rule in this location (changeable with "Add Access Privileges") and the rule itself must be able to launch in this location (changeable with "Add rules").
    Kind regards

  • Issue with plan type...

    Hi Guys,
    Unfortunately, I have clicked the "initialize workforce" command in planning webclient (v.9.2). Workforce plan type had been created. If I delete plan type now, What are implications i will see. please suggest me what to do.
    Advance many Thanks,

    To disable Workforce:
    - Edit the HSP_SystemCfg table in the application relational DB and change the values of the following fields to the given respective values. Before updating the table ensure that database backup is there to restore from in case there is a need to do so.
    - MODULE_SUPPORTED to 7
    - MODULE_ENABLED to 7
    - WF_KEY to NULL
    - WF_OPTIONS to 0
    - Go to the registry.properties usually located in C:\Hyperion\common\config and comment out the following line:
    - PLANNING_WRKFORCEPLNG_OPT=false,false
    This property is application specific and not user specific.
    Cheers,

  • Sequences in Palnning with mutiple Plan types

    Running on Planning 9.3.1, and having the Load Balancing structure.
    Trying to create a Sequence should run the Business rules, as each HBR should run on different Plan types. Surley I need to Merge the variables of RTPs. Is there any work around way. Can anybody share their experince on this if you already come across of this scenario.
    Edited by: 798780 on Sep 12, 2011 9:04 AM

    Thansk Abhishek,
    Yes, that is the issue. If we hide only the databases and remain RTPs we need to enter multiple times even though they are similar ones. And also, cannot compromise the Load Balancing as we cannot give mutiple locations. I am not sure if we can have any work around.

  • Replenishment between Storage Location with MRP Planning

    Dear PP Gurus,
    I need you expertise on the below question.
    I have a plant with multiple Storage Locations. One Storage Location is Main Warehouse and another ilocation s External Warehouse (3PL) where excess stock are kept due to storage capacity in the Main Warehouse.
    Now the requirement is replenish the stock to Main Warehouse from the External Warehouse with Stock Transfer using MRP trigger the Stock Transfer.
    I know the setting in MRP 4 View in the material master, the Indicator to set to 2, maintain a reoder point in the Sloc: 1200 and Replenishment Qty: 1500 and Special Procurement Type: (what should be the setting)
    My question is where to set the target Sloc and source Sloc, then only system will trigger the replenishment Stock Transfer?
    The storage location which is plan separately, will have a different segment. Therefore, in terms of the availability check for the Sales Order it will consider as normal based on the scope of check.
    Appreciate the reply
    Thanks & Regards
    Pooja

    Dear ,
    1.You need  to set up the MRP for Plant with group of storage location  and run MRP-MD01 .You can try SCOPE of planning -OM0E.
    As an information : In standard MRP I, f you have several storage location for your plant, you cannot plan for them separately unless you assign them to a separate MRP area.If a storage location (alone) is assigned to an MRP area, it means you wan to plan for it separately. If several storage locations are assigned to an MRP area (or let's say to a plant), it means you want to plan using all of them - and you cannot choose only one and plan for it (you can exclude a SLoc from planning w/o assigning it to MRP area).
    2.Find steps for config for activating Sloc to Sloc transfer within plant using STO : -
    follow path: SPRO--> Materials Management -->Purchasing -->Purchase Order -->Set up Stock Transport Order -->Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
    1. Activate Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
    2. Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage Location
    purchase document category 'F' , here use PO type UB, supplying plant, issue sloc and delivery type , (prefer to create new delivery type by copying delivery type 'NL' replenish delivery
    3. Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers Between Storage Locations
    for plant defind sales org and distribution chenal and devision
    select the pline and go to sloc
    assign there customer (created for sloc)
    4. Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point
    for newly created delivery type set L storage location specific shiping poing determination
    5. Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location, assign her sloc based shiping poing determination
    at last when you will create PO put issue storage location, system will determine shiping data based on config done.
    after this process will be same as STO plant to plant using shiping.
    You will need to mention the issuing storage location during posting the delivery,
    ie, ME21N - Create STO
    VL10B - Create Delivery
    VL02N - Post Goods issue - here you will need to mention the issuing storage location
    Refer : STO process -Std in SAP
    Hope it is clear to you .
    Regards

  • Benefits - Plan type for a particular infotype

    In Benefits i want to see which plans are for a particular infotype
    for ex savings, insurance etc.
    like 1010,1020 1030 are for medical, 2010 2020 for insurance
    3030 3040 for saving - where this info is stored, that this plan type is for this infotype
    Edited by: Manu on Feb 8, 2011 5:24 PM

    Hi,
    For health plans, table is PA0167.
    For insurance plans, table is PA0168.
    For savings plans, table is PA0169.
    For all of these, you can use SUBTY and PLTYP (should be the same).
    You can also look at standard SAP report RPUBEN09 (transaction code HRBEN0009).
    Hope this helps.
    p.s. Please show some respect to people replying and maintain sanctity of the forum.

  • New feature aso plan type under planning V11.1.2.3

    HI all,

    the ability to create ASO plan type under planning.
    but in documentation i don't understand if this part is not available under planning licence .
    is this new feature involde to purchase new licence on essbase and in this case we have application user wich licence is needed (cpu) ?
    can some one help?

    Administrators can now add an aggregate storage option (ASO) database to a Planning application using Planning application administration.
    Administrators can create an ASO plan type during application creation, or they can add a new plan type using the new plan type editor. See Plan Type Editor. Write back to ASO cubes within Planning is supported.

    You also need the Essbase license to be able to use that functinality, probably best discussing with your Oracle account manager for the full details.

  • Can a Financial Plan Type be attached to more than one Project Template

    We are working on Project Accounting through Self Service pages. For doing the Cost Budget we have created a Financial Plan Type. We attached it to a Time & Material Project. But later when we tried attaching it one more template, a Turnkey Template, it does not give us the Cost Budget-Financial Plan type in the drop down box.
    Hence, wanted to know whether we can attach a Financial Plan Type to more than one Project Template??? If yes, then why didnt we get the option in the drop down box?
    Chirag..

    Since you are not using Company code as the branch, and are using Profit centre as the branch, I dont think its right for you to set a default profit centre for any GL account in the Chart of Account for that company.
    all the SAP user in the company will be using the same company code to post, and thus, will be using exactly the same inventory account, if you set a default profit centre there, no point rite? You will need to implement a procedure to ask all the user to manually assign the profit centre during posting. Just like how we normally ask user to specify the company code before posting.
    The authorisation should be set by profit centre as well. hope this helps. Thanks.

  • How to create dynamic calc account in multi-plan type application

    Hi expert,
    I have a planning application with 3 plan types.
    I created a calculation script which fixed on accounts in plan type 1 only and the calculation suppose to calculate a "dynamiccalc" account with a member formula attached. Everytime I run the script, it takes very long time and I found there are sessions at the back of essbase with "Process local xref/xwrite request" request to other plan types.
    It does not has this kind of session if I change the account to "store".
    Would like to check, is it possible to create a dynamic calc account to calculate for only 1 plan type in a multi-plan type application? Is there any special setting that I need to do to enable this? I already selected source plan type as Plan type 1 for my dynamic calc account. Please help!
    Many thanks!!
    My HP application is on version 11.1.2.1.

    Hi Jake,
    Thanks for pointing out the check box. Overlooked it and the checkbox was not unchecked, even I only wanted the account to exist in 1 of the plan type.
    However, after I unchecked and refresh now, when I run the calc script, it still trigger process at the back to the other 2 plan types with "Process local xref/xwrite request" request. What else could I have missed?
    I already added the "HSP_Nolink" UDA to all accounts in plan type 2 and plan type 3 and confirmed that there's no account with "Xref" member formula, I really don't know why it is trying to process local xref request. Can anyone help??
    Many thanks!!!

  • One BR to copy data in two plan type

    Hi, I encountered this problem with the business rules.
    In order to run the what-if scenario analysis, I would like to be able to copy the data from one version to another version using a business rule. However, currently I have two plan type within one planning application. And I have to use two business rules (with run-time prompt) to make the data copy. The run-time prompt for the 2 BRs are the same, for example, same entity, samel copy-from version, and same copy-to version.
    I would like the users to just run one business rules (or maybe a sequence) with one set of RTPs to choose, and it allows them to copy both plan type. I have tried to use the sequence, but it seems that the sequence would require the 2 sets of RTPs to be input.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    THANKS

    Alp,
    Yes. I have tried to use the global variables, with the BR sequence. However, since the two BRs are for two different plan type (essbase cubes), when I choose the merge variable option, it did merge the global variable, and also limit the database name selection to one. (I can not choose the "hide" for the database).
    Any other suggestion?
    Thanks
