Missing dimension members in 7.1.3/SQL2000

After shared members are added to dimension, original members disappear.
The dimension has two branches, project and application. Each builds from two rules, one for the hierarchy and one for the leaves, called "requests". The project requests load first, the application requests are implied shared. After the project requests load, all are present. After the application hierarchy and requests load, the requests are not labeled "shared" and the project requests are missing. No error files are generated. The cube was released in spring, and was working in May, when the UAT copy was made from it which still works. No modifiications have been made since. Any ideas on what could have caused this?

Sounds like you have "allow moves" turned on, and have not flagged the properties of the new members as shared.
It's a relatively easy fix, but requires you to understand the relationship between the "remove unspecified" setting and issues with shared members getting moved. Essentially, you cannot remove a shared member without going through a little extra effort, so keeping the base members intact is easy -- but making changes to shared structures is not.
That might be a bit confusing -- let me give an example: Member "Shared1" under "Parent1" is referenced in the new file as belonging to "Parent2", if the attribute is shared, it will not cause the base member to move, but it ALSO won't cause the shared member under "Parent1" to be removed, either. You end up with a "Shared1" under both "Parent1" and "Parent2". The fix requires that you turn on the "Remove Unspecified" option, and now you must list all members -- so you get back to the need to specify the base members as WELL as the shared members in the current load. It's not quite a catch-22, but pretty close.
Summary: Give the child member (assuming parent/child reference) an "Property" column that contains an "S" in it; turn "Allow Moves" off, and "Remove Unspecified" on. Now be sure to include the full dimension in your build.
There may be an alternative, but you usually end up with cleaning up the duplicated shared or some other side effect.

Missing dimension members - - initial extract date question

We are configuring and implementing the out-of-the-box analytics. In the DAC, we set the initial extract date to be Jan 1 2006. It appears that when we run our initial full load ETL, it only loads suppliers that have been modified after Jan 1 2006. Suppliers prior to that are missing.
Considering that there are facts that can be associated to suppliers before that initial Jan 1 2006 date, we are noticing a problem. Is my understanding correct and how do we resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ed,
Yes, I have set this $$INITIAL_EXTRACT_DATE parameter as you mentioned, but this is working fine in case 1 and NOT working in case 2.
I am using the same versions of DAC, Informatica and BI Apps in both the cases. Only the source system is different.
In case 1, its not an initial full load.
in case 2, its an initial load.
Thanks,
Harish.

How can I manage access to dimension members in a layout?

Hello,
I have a dimension member list of materials (400) on a "material" dimension. But some people have access to one portion of the whole group and others may have access to other groups. But the materials can be shared between groups so I cannot group them in differents hierarchies.
The problem is in the layout you need to select a hierachy to show various rows (the whole group of materiales). The layout shows all the list of materials. Even if the user only have access to 10 of them. I don't know how is the best way for presenting this to the user? It should presents only the 10 rows corresponding to his materials.
One way that I found (but I don't find it acceptable because of the hard effort that represents the maintenance) is to create differents member access profiles and denied the access to each material (dimension member - 390) that the user cannot modified. Then in excel I have to run a macro that hides all the rows that have an empty description in the cell of the material name.
How can I achive this?
Is there a function in BPC to see if a user have access or not to a dimension member?
The only way to show in a layout various rows is to set in the view a hierarchy?
Thanks & Regards
SU

hi
pl. verify whether this will suit your requirements:
Material           UG1           UG2
MAT1               Y
MAT2                                 Y
MAT3               Y
MAT4                                 Y
MAT5               Y               Y
Now UG1,UG2 diff user groups and property in Material. Assignment of Y is one time job.
At the time of accessing the dimension members can restrict on the basis of UG1="Y" or UG2="Y" property
Here MAT5 is common in both UG1 and UG2
(Hardly may have 3-4 set of users: Accordingly can have UG1,UG2,UG3,UG4 etc.)

Using intersection of dimension members in a SINGLE column/row name

I need help understanding how a single row/column name in a report can be populated with an intersection of two different dimension members of an Essbase cube (ASO). For example, suppose I have two dimensions members in my cube - Sales and Qtr1. Now I want to create a single column-name in my Smartview or FR report called "Sales in Qtr1" that would store values for Qtr1->Sales. Also, i want to have a single column name such as (Qtr1->Sales % Qtr2->Sales).
Is this done via a report script or some other method?
My report would look as follows:
Sales in Qtr1 | Sales in Qtr2 | Qtr1 Sales as a percent of Qtr2 Sales
Region1 100 | 200 | 50%
Region2 25 | 100 | 25%
Would appreciate any guidance.
Thanks.
Axe

Getting the data the way you've described is really easy, just nest the dimensions in Excel (or whatever reporting tool), one dimension over the other.
It's the same for rows as it is columns (okay, in rows instead of columns).
Essbase is very good about doing asymmetrical reports. Take a look at the DBAG and scroll down for the section labelled "Generating Symmetric Reports" -- the second example shows a asymmetric report.
Making the label one cell? A bit hard in Excel -- you'd have to create separate retrieve ranges and report ranges or play a game with hiding rows. Very easy indeed in Financial Reports -- you basically hide a row and put whatever custom label you want in the dimension that remains (technically speaking you could hide both rows and do this with a text row -- whatever you prefer -- but I've generally seen this with the former technique.

SSRS with calculated dimension members SSAS

Hello everybody,
I have an interesting scenario involving a SSRS report with a matrix connected to a SSAS cube containing calculated dimension members.
One of the parameters is "Reference Week". Based on that parameter, I need the measures for the previous 5 weeks.
So I created an anchor dimension "Analysis Weeks" with the members "Week -1" to "Week -5".
Everything is working fine. The only problem is the names of the columns on the report.
Currently I have "Current Week", "Week -1", etc. as column names, I'd like to show the real dates.
For example, if I choose "2014-02-15" as the reference week, I want the first column to show "2014-02-15" instead of "Current Week". The second would show "2014-02-08" instead of "Week -1", etc.
I tried to get the current column position in the matrix, which I could use the with @ReferenceWeek parameter, but I can't access that property.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

If I understand correctly, your column group is on "Analysis Weeks", is that right? If so just get the value of that field and use it to get the dates.
=DateAdd("d",-1*CInt(Right(Fields!AnalysisWeeks.Value,1))*7,Fields!ReferenceWeek.Value)

Automatic creation of new dimension members

Hello all,
Bit of a long post so please bear with me.
I am about to embark on only my third BPC project after having spent several years implementing solutions using BusinessObjects Planning (formerly SRC software), and am still struggling to come up with an elegant solution to the fact that I cannot save data to dimension elements unless they are already explicitly defined in the dimension member list (presumably due to cube architecture).
Those of you who have used BOP/SRC will remember this as unvalidated dimensions.
I find having to first go to admin and pre create members before being able to use an input schedule to save data against them is very restrictive.
I'm hoping one of you guys can help me improve on the workaround I currently use.
For example I have a 'bid submission' input schedule that is used by the user to submit bids for increased budget, capital or revenue, capturing basic costs and commentary. The user selects a bid number from a combo box which is populated by using an EVLST formula to read in pre created dimension members. I have to save a flag to the db which I then use to exclude already used numbers when feeding the combo box on future submissions.
Which works ok but if I have a hierarchy on bid number based on say, cost centre, how do I get around the fact that number ranges have to be pre-assigned to cost centre, Cost Centre A = 1 to 1000, Cost Centre B = 1001 to 2000 etc. What happens if I go over the 1000 on Cost centre A? I then get non contiguous ranges per cost centre.
Is it possible for the bid number to be dictated by the user when they start to fill in the bid submission? Or give the impression that they are?
Or if the client has a bid number format that cannot be pre created? Eg incorporating things like year or person etc. This information could be save separately but not within the bid number. Is it possible to save data to dimension property columns from an input schedule?
Hope you guys can help
Many thanks
Phil

How to auto-update of script logics after adding new dimension members?

Hi Experts,
Just wanna ask if BPC has a functionality that would automatically update/validate and save my script logic whenever I add new dimension members. I've added new PL accounts but they are not automatically added to my calculated BS Net Income. I had to re-validate and save my logic for it to be included in my logic and for the amounts to be computed correctly.
Thanks,
Marvin

Hi Marvin,
There is no functionality as such. we need to configure the script as and when we make any changes in the dimension members.

Workspace and HFM 9.3.1 - Missing Dimension library

Im new to hfm. Im installing hfm 9.3.1 and trying to laod the sample applications.
Env: xp, Oracle 10g.
I downloaded the sw from oracle edelivery site.
I installed shared services and configured.
I installed workspace(Hyperion Reporting and Analysis s9 service release 9.3.1 - v11207-01 and Hyperion Reporting and Analysis s9 UI service release 9.3.1 - v11223-01) and configured.
Both the above are working fine.
hfm (Hyperion financial mangement - s9 Release 9.3.1 installer v11283-01 and Hyperion financial mangement - s9 Release 9.3.1 software development kit - v11284)
I installed and configured and created an application which Im able to access in web client.
when I try to deploy the sample applications which comes with the installation in hfm,
In workspace - Navigate: I can see and the open the application which i created and working fine.
But Navigate -> Administer -> dimension library is missing (dimension library is missing)
I can see Navigate -> Administer -> application library. But it given an error - Invalid or could not find module configuration.
I think Im missing something, which needs to be installed and configured. Please help.

Hi,
You won't get Dimension Library in 9.3.1. Dimension Library comes with EPMA which is available in 9.3.3 onwards.

Dear Raju,
Yes, I did it some times but nothing is happen,
I maintain dimension members, I did it as below:
- Choose maintain dimension members
- copy data from excel file and paste into the dimension
- click process dimension
Show a dialog
- Uncheck Take system offine
This task is successful.
but I go to dimension ACCOUNT in order to insert data,
I came back maintain dimension members : CUSTOMER but I see no data is displayed.
It is the same for ACCOUNT when I want to see data on that dimension

Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

Dear Experts,
I have two questions regarding the data manager.
Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
My image of csv file is like below;
ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
(I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
Thanks in advance for your help.
Fumi

Hi Fumi,
In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...

Patrick

Changes in hierarchy dimension members causes EVDRE Errors retrieving data

Hi everybody,
I am facing the problem while retrieving the data in Evdre this is the following situacion:
1. BPC 7.5 NW SP 08 is used.
2. Suppose that you have a template where you defined SELF,DEP for an account dimension, you expand and refresh normally, and retrieved data OK.
3. Your business case makes that you have to move one of the dependant member of the hierarchy to another parent
then you go to mantain dimension member and change the parent of the member in question, finally you process dimension, and put available set status.
4. Yo re-open Template or refresh dimension members from the server in order to see update hierarchy in account dimension
5. After expanding and refreshing the evdre, shows and error "...while retrieving the data.. "
6. I suppose the way to fix it is to reverse the change in dimension member, so I change for initial parenth but error continue.
What do you recommend for fix it? is there any note which solve it?

Hi Sabine,
Hi Sabine,
Thanks for your answer, we followed all the steps you suggested, but the problem continue,
Could you confirm us what is the the path of that XML file of dimension thought BW - UJFS?
The only thing that correct problem is doing the following but not should be the best way:
1. Supress Account dimension in application
2. Delete dimension
3. Recreate Dimension and process it
4. insert dimension into application
5. Refresh Evdre and then works fine!
Is there any Sap note about it or something else to check?
Thanks For your help

Can we see Attribute dimension members in Planning data form ? Pls. help

Yes it is possible in 11.1.1.3, for example in your row select a dimension that has attributes associated with it. select dimension properties next to the down drop.
Tick "Enable custom attribute display (setting applies to all dimensions with associated attributes): "
Select the attribute dimension

Dimension members were not deleted after refresh in Planning desktop

Hi
A Planning application's outline was restored from backup.
It contains some dimension members which were deleted from Planning Web some weeks before and there were made many Planning refreshes after. Full database refresh had been made in Planning desktop and these members were not removed. As refreshing is a procedure to keep metadata in correspondence such result isn't expected in my opinion.
Is it normal behavior ?

Hi
i had a similar problem before. here is what i did
add the member again.
refresh
delete the member
refresh again.
this solves the relational repositories sync issue.
hope this helps.

Deploying app.view in BPMA does not add dimensions/members to application

Hello,
I've searched the forum for a solution to this problem, but I couldn't find any.
Problem:
I'm working on Hyperion Planning 9.3.1.0.66, EPMA version is 9.3.1.0.0.73, Workspace version is 9.3.1.0.0.248. I've created a classic application that was later upgraded. Now, I need to make some changes to dimensions (add some generic dimensions) and add some members to an existing dimension. Everthing is set in workspace and added to the application view. Validation of the application view is successful, so is the deployment (both create outline and refresh outline were tested, in all combinations), however when I open the application, or verify the outline in Essbase, there is no changes in the outline (no new dimensions/dimension members added, etc.)
Does anyone know the reason for such application behaviour?
Is there any solution/fix to solve the problem?
Best regards
Marcin Stawny

Hi,
I would definitely recommend patching EPMA and Planning to the latest patches, many issues have been addressed with EPMA and it is should always be the first steps if you have issues.
You can download the following patches from Metalink3
8211868 - System 9 Release 9.3.1.1.10 Service Fix
7305465 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.5 Service Fix
7272558 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.4 Service Fix
7209507 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.3 Service Fix
7161248 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.2 Service Fix
7227802 - EPMA 9.3.1.1 Service Pack
7110941 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.1 Service Fix
They include readmes instructing on how to patch.
This maybe related to your issue which was fixed in patch 9.3.1.1.6
7117173 - You cannot incrementally deploy Oracle’s Enterprise Performance Management Architect (EPMA) applications to Planning.
