Members appearing in "Entity" Dimension.

Hi All,
There are some members appearing in 'ENTITY' dimension which are not opened by us and they are appearing in all applications.
Are these members Seeded ?
Because they are also appearing in the system of another client where the implementation is also done by us.
Members are :Enterprise Global -> Enterprise US -> Operations -> Corporate Fin -> Sales & Marketing -> Finance.
Can anyone please guide us on this.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Ace.

hi AcEace,
they are seeded by the little green gremlins who live under your desk. when you weren't looking they jump into your computer and seed your client system too. watch out after they seed they germinate and then you get more little gremlins.

7.5 NW: Uunable to delete dimension members from the entity dimension

Hi,
I would really appreciate a solution to this. We are planning on implementing an IFRS consolidation using the SAP IFRS Starter Kit. We have created a copy of the IFRS Starter Kit, without any data. In order to customise it for our purposes, we have decided to keep the sample dimension members in Accounts, Flow and AuditID but delete the data in other dimensions. We have managed to delete the sample dimension members from the Time, Inter-company and Conoscope dimensions but are unable to do it for the Entity and RateEntity dimension.
Can anyone please explain why this is happening? There is no data in the application and so, why is this happening? We are on Service Pack 5.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Before going into the BPFs, i am sure you would have already checked, I would do the following:
-Try to process the entity dimension in offline mode. I have seen this happening with some dimenions that i know there is absolutely no transaction action. Just check processing the entity in offline mode. Do not untick 'take the appset offline'.
- You would have done this. Double check for the transaction data.
- Regarding BPFs, its not easy to check this. we had this situation earlier. Please go into the backend and in se16 you will find all the BPF tables with UJB*
There would around 10-12 such tables. Have alook in them. Not all tables need to be looked into. But please have a check there.
- Also check if entity has been referenced to any other dimension. Its good to check if you have INTCO dimension to see if it is referenced there.
Thanks,

Managing large entity dimension in Hyperion Planning

Hi experts,
Here is my situation :
- Planning version : 9.3.1.3
- OS : Windows 2003 Server 32-bits
- Repository : SQL Server 2005
- Application with 3 plans, 12 dimensions. Larger dimension is "Entity" with 40,000 members.
- No workflow is used
Here is my problem :
- I can add without any problem members in my entity dimension but, when I want to cut/paste or delete any member, Planning process uses a lot of memory on the server and when the limit is reached (parameter in the registry database can't be higher : 1622M), process freeze with an out of memory error. So, I restart service and delete or cut/paste is not done.
- Cut/paste and delete on others dimensions work fine.
So, could anyone give me advices about my situation ?
Thanks
Julien

Hi,
Patch was a good idea, but we was already in 9.3.1.14.
We finally found the solution :
Entity is really "linked" to scenario and version by the workflow functionnality.
As we don't use it, we disabled for process management each scenario and version.
MIRACLE : Thanks to this action, when we delete an entity, memory consumption is low and process quick.
Conclusion : Delete process of entity dimension controls a lot of things in the repository, using a lot of memory. So, if a scenario or a version is not used in a workflow process, it is very important to discard it from process management.

Not able to delete any Entity Dimension members

Hi All,
I am trying to delete some Entity Dimension members but its not allowing me to delete. This problem is only for Entity Dimension.
I can edit Entity member name or properties successfully but not able to delete or move the position.
I also tried to check member usage but its not giving me any results, a blank screen comes and planning goes down after some time. Same happens when I try to delete any Entity member.
I have admin rights on Planning and I can delete other dimension member but not for Entity. There is no workflow started for Entity but If it is than also it pop-ups that after member deletion all planning unit will be lost. I have bounced planning DB and also restarted all Hyperion services but still no luck.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue or have any solution to resolve.
Regards
Vishal

Hi John,
After uncheck of "enabled for process management" for all Scenario along with Version dimension members , this issue is now resolved. But its a temporary resolution as client has not yet started any workflow so we can uncheck that options ,but when they need to start workflow process then we have to check this options again which will start this issue again.
Do you have any permamant resolution for this issue?
Thanks for your help.

Create users and assigning them security on the Entity dimension

Hi All,
I’m working with Hyperion ESSBASE 11.1.1.3 and Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 and I have a problem related to create new users (without admin permissions) and assigning them security on the Entity dimension.
When I access with these users to a Dataform in Planning appears these message:
“Security and/or filtering has resulted in a required dimension not being represented on this data form”
I have followed these steps:
- I have created new users (Native Directory) and provision them against essbase and the planning application in Shared Services.
- I have expanded the essbase server > security > refresh security from shared services > all users.
- I have assigned security roles in all members of Entity dimension in Planning.
- I have refreshed database and security filters in Planning.
Please help
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
You will have to apply security to all the standard dimensions and not just entity, so that will be account, entity, scenario and version.
Cheers

How to change the Entity dimension

For practice purposes, I created a PSPB application in EPMA. Apparently the new app had no Entity data so I uploaded the entity information from the sample ads file into the EPMA shared dimension library. I want my practice application called BUDGET to use this new and imported "Entity" dimension. However, I can't find a way to assign the application to use this dimension or vice versa. I didnt think the BUDGET app had an Entity dimension but now that I look at its dimensions, it is appearing there. Even so, it appears to be different than the Entity dimension in the Dimension Library. I've tried to copy the dimension to the application, but BUDGET doesnt show up as an available application. How do I get the app to use this shared dimension or create the app to use it?

For EPMA then usually you would highlight your dimension, select the category of system in the properties window, update the dimension alias, click save, deploy.

Mass Allocate function and Entity Dimension. Special treatment?

Hello all,
We're having an issue with mass allocate and the entity dimension, but we are not sure if that is the expected behavior or we have another sort of problem.
We are trying to use the mass allocate function in a Planning web form, using proportional spread. Have tested it across several dimensions (both custom and default) and in all of them it works the way we expect to: It increases existing values in proportion to the target values.
However, when it spreads form superior to inferior levels in entity dimension, it is another story. It spreads evenly across all the members, doesn't care if target has missing or has a value. I have tried looking at the code it generates, but I'm not able to spot why it behaves like this. I have read the documentation but do not find any reference to this.
Is this a expected behavior or do we have a problem with some property on entity dimension?
Needless to say, it is the first time we try to use mass allocate.
We are using planning 11.1.1.3
Thanks in advance for you help.

Error while Loading Entity Dimension through ODI

Regarding Entity Dimension in Planning

Hi All,
We have created one application with X as Entity dimension, now the requirement is we need to change Y as Entity dimension here Y is custom dimension in Planning.
Is there any simple way to tag Y as Entity ?
Thanks in advance.

Sravan Kumar.

This sounds exactly like this post yesterday :- Changing the property of Entity dimension
Are you sure you are not the same person :)

How can I build a ragged Entity dimension with ERPi

All,
I am trying to build an Entity dimension for Planning with ERP Integrator v11.1.2.1, the source is EBS 12.
In the source system I am building from there is a single parent entity with six child entities, there are then 8 hierarchies of cost centres with no common parent, these cost centre groups define different business areas within only one of the entities, the cost centres for the remaining entities have not yet been defined.
In the ERP Setup I have specified that the Entity dimension should be built from the Entity and Cost Centre segments and I have created metadata mappings for each parent entity and cost centre ancestor pair (eight in all), the Enitiy segment is traversed first followed by the Cost Centre; all are defined as Base Hierarchies. Each pair has a separate hiearchy name, I tried to define only one of these as a base hierarchy and reuse the name for each pair but this resulted in an error:
Run Time Error: The hierarchy 'Total Entity' cannot share the parent member 'Total Entity' with the hierarchy 'Total Entity'
At the moment I get a hierarchy where all cost centres are associated with all child entities.
Can anyone advise what needs to be done to achieve the following:
- Get the dimension to build with the cost centres as children of the entities to which they relate.
- Build the entity dimenion beneath a single common parent e.g. 'Total Entity' rather than eight separate parents (one for each entity/cost centre mapping).
Thanks

Gavin,
i have the same issue, can you please share, how you were able to solve this.

Is it possible to call the members of the CFMapping dimension from a EVDRE?

Hello experts,
I am working with the application Cashflow. This application uses the dimension CFMapping to match the dimension CFAccount with the dimension Account, when the package "Cash Flow Recalculation" is run. I would like to know how could I call the members of the CFMapping dimension from a report. When I try to do this,the EVDRE shows the following error message: #ERR: Invalid CFMAPPING, col# 1.
Thanks in advance,
Álvaro

Hi Mehul,
I have already checked this but it still doesn't work. The dimension CFMapping is not contained in any application, in BPC administration I checked this in the application folders. I think that the CFMapping dimension is only used to support the execution of the package I mentioned in the first message, and that is why I have problems to call it's members from a report using the normal procedure.

Álvaro

Compare two members from the same dimension in HFR

Hi,
Is it possibe to compare two members from the same dimension in HFR? The requirement is to compare Year and Week members from the same dimension. The Week date will be selected from POV. The corresponding Year date should be displayed in the report. Week dates are in the format W2008-03-07 and Year dates are in YTD2008-03-07.
The dates are same except the preceding character.I am unable to compare these two. In my understanding there's no substring or replace functions in HFR.
Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Uma

Hi,
How is your database structured? it may be possible to use the 'RelativeMember' function if it will always be the same number of steps between the 'W' member and the 'YTD' member, e.g. if your hierarchy is something like:
Time
.Weeks
..W2008-03-07
..W2008-03-10 etc.. for 52 weeks
.YTD
..YTD2008-03-07
..YTD2008-03-10 etc.. for 52 weeks
In your report select 'Current Point of View for Time' in one row/column and in the other use:
RelativeMember set up as follows:
Member: Current Point of View for Time
Offset: 52
Hierarchy: Time
RelativeMemberList: Lev0, Time
UseFirstDescendant: leave unselected
Hope this helps

Subtract from Parent in Entity dimension

Hi all
I am currently implementing SAP BPC project to replace Hyperion Enterprise. There is an option in Hyperion Enterprise in Entity dimension where you can specify an entity (child or parent node) to be subtracted from its parent rather than the natural way of adding in SAP BPC. I know in SAP BPC, the natural way the hierarchy works is that all the base level nodes are added to its parent level which in turn are added to its parent level and so on and so forth.
I was wondering if there is a way to accommodate "Subtract from parent" functionality of Hyperion Enterprise in SAP BPC. One way I can think of is to write a script logic to multiply the numbers submitted to that entity by -1 which will make sure that we are subtracting this entity while rolling up.
Does anyone know of a better way?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Exactly as Tim says, there's a member property you can add (called UNARYOPERATOR, must use that name, inApp, length 1) that takes a value of one of the following:
+    (this adds up the member to its parent -- same as if you didn't add this property)
-     (subtracts this member from its siblings, in computing the parent)
*     (multiplies it)
/     (divides it)
~    (ignores this member)
I've never used multiply or divide. The tilde is helpful for skipping the NBV accounts from the fixed assets on the balance sheet, where you can't double-count the original book less accum depreciation, AND the NBV. But every chart of accounts has all those accounts in there.
This property should probably work in any dimension with a hierarchy. Or almost any -- I'd be surprised if Time would be able to multiply October times November??? But anyway for simple stuff, it should work.
Or you can use a member formula on the parent, which would be
OtherChild1 + OtherChild2 - SpecialChosenChild
A script logic approach will also work, but it means a lot of extra calculations and data, which you should avoid if possible. I think to get the results you want, you'd follow Tim's approach, except the logic needs to post a factor of -2 (not -1) to the shadow member, to get a net result of a negative impact on the parent. A factor of -1 would give a net result of zero.
Hopefully the unaryoperator or formulaH1 will work.

Entity Dimension - Company Code + Profit Center

Dear experts,
I'm in a BPC project in NW, the project has two fronts, planning and consolidation, in specific I am with the initial concern of how to organize the dimensions, and is used by both sides.
Explaining the situation, we will do the planning and legal and management consolidation, ie we must have a vision of the organization by Company (Company Code) and Enterprise Center (Profit Center), here comes the first question, Do we need to organize the Entity Dimension structure with a hierarchy of hybrid company and profit center? Ie:
Say a company has the following structure:
The Company A is a holding company with Company B controlled.
Under the Company A have two enterprise center: X and Y;
Under the Company B have tree enterprise center : V, W and Z;
Thus the structure of ParentH1 would get this:
ID ParentH1
A
B     A
X     A
Y     A
V     B
W    B
Z     B
This interpretation is correct? What are the impediments to the COI if any.
Thanks
Alexandre

Alexandre,
I'm with the same doubt, do you get the answer ?
Please some one knows the answer ?
Best Regards
