Lock and Send via the Spreadsheet Add-in

I have a question regarding lock and sending via the spreadshet add-in. When we perform this action we understand that existing data values are overwritten. Is there a setting that says to add to existing data values when we perform the lock and send?

no, lock and send just does an overwrite. you would have to either create custom code or use something like Dodeca to do it

  • Essbase Trigger for SS Lock and Send

    Hi,
    I need to create a Trigger using EAS for any Lock and Send activity through Spreadsheet Add-In. Please guide me in developing the script, I can't figure out what to put in the Where and When condition in the Trigger window. Can't find any example on net.
    Thanks,
    Ash

    ok, I stand corrected. You can use a on-update trigger to capture changes. Thinking about it, you would have to create a where and when clause that would always return true. Like
    Where [scenario].currentmember
    when [scenario].currentmember <> [scenario].currentmember + 1
    I would suspect you would wnat to use the logging for this not send an email. This will spool the before and after values. I have not tried it, but I don't think it captures the information on who did it. that is why I would go the ssaudit route. In 11.1.1 you have transaction logging.

  • Lock and Send Crashes Excel

    Hi all,
    I tried to perform the "Lock and Send" operation in Excel add in and upon performing the operation, my Excel got crashed. Essbase version is 9.3.1 and excel version is 2003.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the Essbase client but that did not fix the issue.
    Can anyone help me on the above?

  • Lock and send ASO

    Hi,
    We are running Essbase version 11.1.1.2 and Smartview 11.1.1.2 (Build 122).
    I have some users that would like to load some data via Excel into an ASO cube. I am aware this would be slower than using BSO.
    I have tried both HSSETVALUE and the ad-hoc with submit data and I get an error 'You do not have sufficient access to perform a lock on this database'.
    I am pretty sure this is because of the 'lock and send' nature of submit data and the fact you can't lock a block on ASO because no blocks exist.
    I have read something about the 'classic add-in' having the option of not locking before sending. What is this? I actually don't think I have it. I have Excel 2010 and everything is consolidated under one ribbon I think from memory.
    What are my options? The cube is big and an ASO for a reason, there's a large number of big dimensions. I could change the Excel sheets to load to SQL Server and run via a rules file. But I would rather load from Excel.

    The oldest release I have is 11.1.1.3, but if I go to this ASOsamp.Sample intersection:

    In either Smart View or the Add-In and put in a different number and submit it (Smart View) or Send (add-in), it works. Of course I'm logged in as the admin.

  • Restrict lock and send data in Hyperion Planning

    Hi All,
    I am working on a planning application version 11.1.2.1.I have users who use excel add in to submit data.The issue is when they submit forecast it messes up the data for the previous periods actual.For ex if they have to submit forecast for Aug onward , but their spreadsheet has data from jan to dec then my jan to july data gets messed up because of the upload.In essbase application,we can restrict them by creating UDA's and filters.
    I need some suggestions for the planning application.I can modify the planning filters in essbase but again it would be very tedious job to go into each filters and modify and the worst part would be if we do refresh security next time,it will overwrite the filters.
    Please guide me through this.
    Thanks,
    vikash

    John,
    Thanks for the reply. The problem is different business units have different excel models with many tabs and those tabs are linked to each other .They have a tab for essbase upload which gets generated by the other tabs.They are using macros which selects the range and do lock and send. I cannot take away their essbase write access because they are very comfortable using excel add-in and they are not ready to change the process as well for atleast now.
    How can i restrict in smartview?
    Please let me know what is the standard process across the hyperion world for this scenario.
    Regards,
    Vikash

  • Lock and Send

    Hi,
    If i am using "Lock and Send" method for data loading for a particular combination, is it possible to add up the data entered for the second time rather than over writing the data entered for the first time?
    Thanks.
    Edited by: Abhi on Nov 5, 2012 2:13 AM

    Hi Abhi,
    No...it's not possible to add up with existing data.
    "Lock and Send" can perform action to overwrite/Update the data with help of Essbase Excel add-in.
    Thanks,
    Good Friend.

  • Write back(Lock and Send) in Essbase(v11.1.1.3) ASO cube?

    Hi All,
    can you please let me know if I can do a 'lock and send' in ASO cube throug Excel Add-in ? I have Essabse version 11.1.1.3. If yes, please let know if need to do any special setting.
    Cheers!

    Hi John,
    I am working on an issue where a MaxL is closing and killing connections to an application and it's database before it Stops Application inorder to flip it into a working database. Frequently, the process fails at the Stop Application and were advise that we need an ulock objects statement. Are the locks and locked objects different? I can understand why there aren't locks on an ASO and I can see locked objects on an ASO when the outline is checked out. How else can an ASO have locked objects? I am updating the Maxl to include disables on connections, updates, and commands and to unlock objects against the database.
    Now I need to test this and am wondering how to provoke a locked object on an ASO cube?

  • Supporting details  vs Excel to "lock and send"

    If user update Supporting details into a Planning form cell, then use Excel to "lock and send" a different dollar amount to that same cell, who will have precedence?
    Is there a utility that will force/ synchronize Planning to roll up supporting detail's dollars into Essbase cell (thus overwriting L&S)?

    Hi,
    Supporting detail information is held in the planning relational repository, essbase holds the total number.
    If a user enters supporting details in planning and then locks and send data straight into essbase then planning supporting details will be out of sync.
    If you are using supporting details then you should try avoid this situation by entering data via planning or smartview.
    Cheers

  • Lock and Send problem

    I have problem with Essbase Add-in not locking and sending. We can get it to lock and send once on a new app, but can't do subsiquent locks. Is there a setting issue? We have two servers, one Essbase 6.1.3a and NT4.0, the other Essbase 6.5.3 and Win2K and both have same problem. I would appreciate any help offered.

    If the data is in the ATX file, I would say your lock and send is working.I am trying to work out what "doesn't work" means ... do you get #missing when you do a retrieve or just an old value?You say this works on a new app ... i.e. is this an EMPTY app? ie. does the first entered value retrieve back into Excel?It is possible that you have an implicit share issue here ie. one parent/one child situations in the hierarchy.

  • Encrypt file and send via email

    Hi,
    I have a file which I wish to encrypt and send via email. I know how to send by email but wish to send the file (csv), protected. I have read a few boards that say you could zip the file and add password protection. But sadly none of the forums show how to do this, does anyone have any code examples of what packages I would need?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Start/End Periods - locks period on webform but can still lock and send?

    Hi,
    I've setup a forecast period in planning with the start period May FY13 and end period Dec FY13 and tested as a test user.
    In the webform - this works perfectly, only may:dec are avaliable for write access.
    If i replicated the webform exactly as a lock and send, it will let me load to jan:apr... My users aren't ready to move to smartview yet, so any advice on how to lock them out will be great.
    Many Thanks,
    Jo.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for the speedy response.
    Yes sorry, I mean the Excel Add-In.
    Is there any work around for this, or is my only option to create Essbase Filters manually? (or persuade the users to move onto Smartview, but that's not going to happen overnight).
    Thanks,
    Jo.

  • Lock and Send Issue

    Hi,
    My main motive is to do a Lock and send. My Scenario is like this:
    I have a Planning App on 9.3.1. I have created 20 groups and assigned the users to the group. I have given the Write Access to the Group on Planning side. On Shared Services side, I have provisioned the group with Essbase Server access and Planning Essbase Write Access. Now I am able to connect to this App through Excel Addin. However when i am trying to do a Lock and Send, it says You do not have sufficient permission to perform a lock on this database.
    Please advise. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Pankaj

    Hi,
    Few questions
    Have you applied all the security to the dimensions in planning and then pushed the filters to essbase.
    Have you checked the filters are correct in essbase.
    In your excel addin options check that "Update Mode" is not ticked.
    Cheers

  • Cannot Lock and Send data to an Essbase cube

    Hi all,
    One of our customer is executing a Macro script to lock and send data to the essbase cube from an excel sheet.
    They reported that in several cases where users will submit their data, and later discover that their changes are not in Essbase.
    The calls to EssVRetrieve (to lock the blocks) and EssVSendData are both returning successfully and there is no error message received while executing the above macros.
    I reviewed the application log file and found the following message:
    [Mon Nov 24 18:59:43 2008]Local/Applicn///Warning(1080014)
    Transaction [ 0xd801e0( 0x492b4bb0.0x45560 ) ] aborted due to status [1014031].
    I analysed the above message and found the user is trying to lock the database when already a lock has been applied to it and some operation is being performed on it. Because of that the transaction has been aborted. But customer says no concurrent operation is being performed at that time.
    Can anyone help me in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Raja

    The error message for error 1014031 is 'Essbase could not get a lock in the specified time.' The first thought I have is that perhaps some user/s have the 'Update Mode' option set in their Essbase Options and thus, when they are retrieving data, they are inadvertantly locking the data blocks. If that is the case, you will probably see this issue sporadically as the locks are automatically released when the user disconnects from Essbase.
    To make it stop, you will have to go to every user's desktop and make sure they have that Essbase Option turned off. Further, you will have to look at any worksheets they may use that may have an Essbase Option name stored on it. The range name is stored as a string and includes a setting for update mode. Here is a sample that I created for this post where I first turned 'on' update mode and then turned 'off' update mode:
    A1100000001121000000001100120_01-0000
    A1100000000121000000001100120_01-0000
    Note the 11th character in the first string is '1' which indicates that Update Mode is 'on'; in the second string, it is 'off'.
    This behavior, particularly with update mode, is the only one of the behaviors that I disliked in Excel and pushed me to design our Dodeca product. In Dodeca, the administrator controls all Essbase options and can either set individual options to the value they want or they can allow the user to choose their own options. Most of our customers do not allow the user to set update mode.
