Mapping SmartLists to an ASO Reporting App - Synchronization Difficulties

For those who have never done this before, I particiularly recommend John Goodwin's blog.
http://john-goodwin.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/1112-planning-mapping-reporting.html
So, in this particular regard, I'm trying to map Smart Lists to dimensions I created in the ASO application in Essbase.
In our planning application, we have 12 dimensions. In our ASO application, we have 15. (3 additions based on the smartlists)
The naming and matching of smartlists and corresponding ASO dimensions are 100% accurate. The mapping settings are no different. I have even attempted to map the smartlists while excluding additional dimensions from the ASO application by isolating them in the Point of View.. It worked. When I attempt to map the smartlists to the ASO dimensions however, the synchronization suggests that there is a duplication or conflict of data.
I'm going to try and further address this problem by matching the ASO dimension Member with the SmartList Entry ID's, although I personally doubt that this is the problem. Any further clarification on this topic is highly appreciated.

When mapping a Smartlist to a dimension the MRA functionality in Planning will attempt to use the SmartList Label to map to a member Alias or member Name in your ASO cube. If you're smartlist label CAN'T BE matched to a member Alias or member Name in your ASO cube, the mapping will fail.
If your're smartlist value is #MISSING, you can provide a default "Smart List label" to use to map to a "default" member name in your ASO cube.
If your're smartlist label for some reason,does need to be different from a "real" member name or Alias, then you will need to maintain a "mapping smartlist" who's label does match a "real" member name or Alias in your ASO cube. This "mapping smartlist" must have the same smartlist item value as your real smartlist and you'll need a member formula for the "mapping smartlist" that does the following: "Mapping Smartlist" = "Real SmartList".

ASO reporting cube over Planning application

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we need to create an ASO reporting cube over a HP application (1 plan type only). (The HP app is deployed via EPMA but with local dimensions.)
(v11.1.2.1)
Note that this needs to be automated for monthly load process so the solution needs to be dynamic in nature.
1. Is there any way to automate BSO to ASO conversion?
2. Is there any way to automate 'Map to reporting' option in HP application?
Can any one suggest the best practice to do this.
Kind Regards.

Thanks John and Celvin for your responses.
I have few queries and will appreciate your help on that-
1. Is there any automation command in EPMA batch client to copy metadata from my HP application to BSO reporting cube. (Plz note that the dimensions are local and not shared, And can't make and use shared dimensions) ?
2. I guess to resync metadata I need to use 'EPMA batch client' to load metadata through ads file and redeploy my app. Plz verify my understanding ?
Another question out of my cursoity-
3. In case I go for classic approach- Is there any way to automate BSO to ASO app. I saw an MAXL command 'create outline' that creates ASO outline based on a BSO app. Is that a good idea to create an ASO app ? I don't think it will be flexible in correcting ASO properties like formulas,solve order etc. And thus most of the work would be manual. Need your guidance on this.
Kind Regards.1. There is a way to do copy dimension
You can copy dimensions within the Shared Library, within an application, or between the Shared Library and an application. You cannot copy a dimension directly from one application to another.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_batch_user/ch02s05s03s02.html
You can still make your Planning dimension local and Share them to Shared Library. You can then move the shared library dimension to Essbase application and keep that as Local (but why all local dimensions and use EPMA?)
2. To resync you have a dimension resync command (load them to Shared or individual app, I still don't see a point why you are using EPMA if all dimenions are local)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_batch_user/ch02s05s10s02.html
3. I never used that one, however tried it on Sample Basic and found that it is not converting BSO formulas to MDX formulas. (Not a very helpful one, it just converts your BSO hier to ASO hier)

Thanks Shaun, I appreciate your link for the process monitor application. This replaces my older seperate reg mon & file mon apps.
I have now been able to determine that my application is getting to where it is calling the cachemanager.dll and it is experiencing the problem. I tried manually registering this dll and receive the error Loadlibrary("cachemanager.dll")failed. GetLastError Returns 0x00000007e.
If I change the ASP pages to a very simple process, it will run the demo report, and my report. Once I attempt to use the ASP page with the login requesst, and parameter call I receive this error.

If anyone can refer a contract programmer that would be interested and capable of assisting me, that would be appreciated. I believe I am close to resolving this problem. I purchased a support session only to find out that this version is no longer supported.

Why all of a sudden has one of my apps (Condition Report App) only displaying at the top right hand corner it is a quarter of the size it should be, i have tried setting my ipad back to factory settings and this hasnt helped some please help??? :)

One of my apps (condition report app) has decided to only display on the top right hand corner which is only a quarter of the screen, not sure what has happened as i have not changed any settings went to go into it one day and it was just like it.
Please help!!!! Thanks Kristy

Do you have the most up-to-date version of the app? Did you upgrade to iOS 6? Did you check to make sure that the developer has updated the app for the new OS? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the app?

I have SSRS parametarized report in that one data set have repeated values with query parameter . but while am mapping that query parameter to report parameter i need to pass distinct values. How can i resolve this

I have SSRS parametarized report in that one data set have repeated values with query parameter . but while am mapping that query

Hi nancharaiah,
If I understand correctly, you want to pass distinct values to report parameter. In Reporting Service, there are only three methods for parameter's Available Values:
None
Specify values
Get values from a query
If we utilize the third option that get values from a dataset query, then the all available values are from the returns of the dataset. So if we want to pass distinct values from a dataset, we need to make the dataset returns distinct values. The following
sample is for your reference:
Select distinct field_name from table_name
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Lost my iphone and located on map it using the fing phone app. The second I located it the phone went offline. Whoever has it knows how to disable the find feature. What are my alternatives? Can at

Lost my iphone and located it on the map, using the find a phone app. The second I had the location the phone went offline. Apparently, whoever has it knows how to disable the find a phone feature. Do I have any alternatives? Can AT&T or the police track the phone?

ATT won't unless they are asked to do so by the police and unless a major crime is involved, the police won't request this just for a stolen phone.
If the iPhone is running iOS 6, sounds like you didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled. Nothing prevents someone from powering the iPhone off and the same for removing the SIM card.

Updating metadata/data in ASO reporting cube from BSO

Hi Experts,
I am creating an ASO reporting cube and would like to know the best way to automate the update of metadata and data from a BSO cube without the use of a partition? This is my first time working with ASO. Any insight or examples would be much appreciated. Please advise.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the responses!
The dimensions will be the same. I will be exporting level0 data then loading it into the ASO cube. I believe I should be able to use the same load rule that I am using for the BSO cube, correct? Also, I am planning on only loading the 'Final' versions of 'Budget' and 'Forecast'. In my data export I believe I can put a condition to only export the 'Final' version, please correct me if I'm wrong?
One last thing, I would like to keep 2 years of 'Actuals' and 1 year of 'Budget' and 'Forecast'. At year end I would to clear previous 'Budget' and 'Forecast' and 2nd prior year after the current 'Budget' and 'Forecast' are closed. Can this be handled in a separate script? Please advise.
Thanks again for the responses.

What is Road map Analysis, Issue tracking,, Monitoring, Reporting?

Hi
Friends
what is Road map Analysis, Issue tracking,, Monitoring, Reporting?
can any one clear my doubts in detail full points will be given

Dear Venkat,
Your questions are very high level questions.
Roadmap Analysis: This term is generally used in SAP Implementation where we compare the project status with the SAP roadmap. Generally in ASAP Roadmap, we have SAP specified standard deliverables, and there can be custom deliverables as per the client's requirements. If we need to do an analysis of custom deliverables viz standard deliverables or standard roadmap viz custom roadmap, we call it as roadmap analysis.
Issue Tracking: Very broad level term - can be in Implementation as well as support projects. Issues are either support problems or implementation problems which are documented and recorded for solutioning and approval. These are generally steering committee terms used in a project.
Monitoring: Again a broad level term. Any watch process can be termed as monitoring. Eg: Monitoring of Backup; Monitoring of System health check etc.
Reporting: Again a broad level term. It is the same as defined in the english dictionary. Nothing related to any process in SAP with technical solution in mind.

Anirban

Mapping Arrays indexing in Crystal Reports formulas and indexes

I just took a Crystal Reports Designer class today and I presented the Array Mapping technique to the instructor. Since he was very interested I decided to post it here, so more people can benefit from it. This is an idea used a lot in C++. I designed a formula using two symmetric arrays. One to hold values to be used to test a condition, and a second one to hold values to be outputted when the condition is found. Since the index in the test values array for a given value to be tested matches the index of return values array of the correspondent output value, this methodology is called index mapping. Here follows the code: //testValues array store values to be tested in the formulaLocal StringVar Array testValues := MakeArray ( "S", "M", "L", "XL"); //returnValues array store values to be returned by the test formulaLocal StringVar Array returnValues := MakeArray ( "Small", "Medial", "Large", "Extra Large", "App Type not Found");Local NumberVar i := 1;Local Numbervar returnIndex := -1; //Loop through the entire array for each values of the fieldWhile i <= Ubound(testValues) AND returnIndex = -1 Do(//Actual test of the values and return bellow If ToText({CUSTOMER.SIZE}, 0) = testValues Then( returnIndex := i;); i := i + 1;); //If any value found return it, else return last value in the return value arrayIf returnIndex = -1 Then returnValues[Ubound(testValues) + 1]Else returnValues[returnIndex] Fell free to email me if you have questions and enjoy the code...

Can you help with the below?
Group on Client/Location, Brokerage Rate, Product
Read all records for a particular group and store each different currency in an array

Record 3 ABN AM FUTURE RATE AGREEMENT 0.012500% GBP

On change of group I would like to display the following

Open google maps, youtube, video etc links with app instead of browser?

According to the search maps and youtube won't ask if you want to use an app to open the links because google doesn't see firefox as a mobile browser (which is weird given that it will always load the mobile youtube site...)
But the same thing happens when I want to watch streams from other websites. Instead of asking me if I want to open media files using an app it will automatically use the built in player. But I want to open media with a different player (mx player) as I don't really like the firefox player.
How can I have firefox ask me to pick an app/browser to open certain things like google map links, youtube links, media file link (mp4 etc)?

My biggest bugbear with the Play Store opening in the browser is that it's slower than the native app, so waiting for the page to load before given the option to launch the app isn't a lot of help. Would it be possible to have an option to automatically load such pages in the associated app? Perhaps when using the address bar icon it could ask "Do you want to do this automatically in future? Yes/No/No and don't ask again".

Expense Types with Input Tax (GST) - mapping to GL Account for reporting

We are in the process of implementing Expenses for countries like Australia & New Zealand, which have GST.
Expense Types were created and different Tax Codes were defaulted to the expense types, as per the requirement. Some Expense Types have no GST while some do have a Tax Code to 10% Input Tax
The issue is, I cannot find a config step to map the Expense Types to Tax GL accounts so that the Finance office in Australia / New Zealand can submit their claims end of the year by pulling up a report from this GL. I can do the regular mapping of Expense Types to specific GLs. I can even settle & post the expenses to FI and reimburse the employees but there is no way I can record the receipts which have taxes on them into the tax GLs for reporting purposes.
Any inputs on how this can be mapped or addressed is much appreciated. We went live with a bunch of countries but, the GST quotient is holding us off from going ahead with AU and NZ.
Here's an example - Expense Type is Dinner. This is mapped to GL 123456. When an employee submits an Expense with the Dinner, it is settled and posted to FI against the GL 123456. The reimbursement is done. But, the Dinner expense receipt has 10% GST which the Finance team wants to submit and claim the tax breaks end of the year. We want all the expenses with 10% tax be mapped to GL 800900. But this is only for reporting reasons. No postings done against the GL 800900.
So, we are looking to map all the Expense Types with Input Tax 10% to GL 800900 and all Expense Types with Input Tax 15% to GL 700600
Here's some of the Tax Config that was done ...
1). SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Define Global Settings ... Input Tax is set to "Input Tax per Travel Expense Type"
2). SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Travel Expense Types -> Create Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts ... in the Expense Type, "Tax Code" field is set the either 0% or 10% Tax Codes

Issue is resolved ... I misunderstood the logic. Tax Code is linked to a GL account. And when I run PRRW, I see the relevant Tax amount in against the trip

ActiveSync reporting generic "Synchronization error", anyone have any ideas?

I am using my Treo 700wx on my Windows XP Home desktop computer, and have in the past been able to sync with Outlook 2003. My wife recently purchased a new windows mobile smartphone and began using ActiveSync under her computer profile, and since then ActiveSync reports a generic "Synchronization error" message in the Activesync window when I place my Treo in the USB cradle. It does indicate that I am connected just fine. I redownloaded the most recent ActiveSync files from Microsoft (4.5.0) and used the repair option without success. I also upgraded my Treo Phone software to v. 1.22 - VZW also without any change in my ability to sync my data. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the next step?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Verizon)

I have only seen a generic syncrhronization error when trying to do remote synchronization, so pretty much sounds like your device is trying to sync to a diff computer than that one it is connected to.
First simple check is to delete the partnership the device has with your computer and see if that helps
1. With the mobile device disconnected from your computer, start ActiveSync, click Delete Partnership on the File menu, and then click the partnership you want to delete.
2. Soft reset the mobile device. For information about how to do so, view the documentation that is included with your the mobile device.
3. IMPORTANT: When you perform this step, if you have data on your mobile device that is not yet on your computer, you should choose Combine when you receive a message that asks what you want to do with existing data on the mobile device.
Connect your mobile device to your computer, and then modify your initial settings by using the New Partnership Wizard. Note that the New Partnership Wizard automatically starts after you connect your mobile device.

CR4VS2010 Load Report failed - COMException (0x800001f5): The Report App...

Hello,
My company recently decided to start using the 64 bit CR VS2010. Several machines have installed it and are working correctly, but others get Load Report failed - COMException (0x800001f5): The Report Application Server failed error when trying to render a crystal report to a new application window. This happens when running the app through VS2010 or IIS.
Another issue, is that once CR4VS2010 is installed, the ability to check-out .rpt files through TFS no longer works. CR4VS2010 will open the .rpt, but manual check-out is not allowed for some reason.
Machines are running Vista 64 bit Ultimate, VS2010, Crystal XI R2 SP4, and TFS.
So far I have tried re-installing VS2010 and CR4VS2010, but still get the same issues.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
Please one question per post, makes it a lot easier to follow. Post your TFS question in a new post.
Use Process Monitor and compare logs between working and non-working PC's. Typically either missing dependencies or permission issues. Look for Access Denied errors.
Thank you
Don

Map ***** for public transportation! What app can help me get the same results as the map before the ios6 upgrade?!!

I remember using maps for public transportation before i start driving and it was pretty godd. Telling me when the next bus is departing giving me all the option necerssary to get to where i want to go all in the map app...now when i touch on the public transportation option it just take me to a bunch of apps that i try and try and none of them work as the map...so now i want to know if there is any app that can replace the efficience of maps before ios6 upgrade...
Please help

There are lots of public transit information apps in the App Store. A search for "public transit" or "public transportation" should turn them up. What you might find useful would depend on where you'd be using it. I've used HopStop.

First simple report/app - how do I edit the sql in it?

I finally have some time to play with my newly installed htmldb 2.0, and created a quick sample page with a tabular report and queried a table via dblink with some sql I entered in. When I run the app I get a sql error, but for the life of me I can't find out how to get at the sql to edit it.
Where do I find (and how do I edit) the sql I just entered in?

When you create this kind of region you can edit the SQL by go to the page definition and clicking on the name you've given to the region in the Regions section of the page rendering.
This will bring you to the region definition page (you should see /f?p=4000:4651 in the URL of your browser). Then you can go to the region source and edit the SQL there.
Hope that helps.
