Numbers assigned to user defined dimensions

Dear Experts
I have created application set from APPSHELL and created three user defined dimensions viz., A, B and C
Then removed all not required dimensions including 'P_ACTIVITY' which was a User defined dimension.
System has assigned numbers as U4, U8 and U9 to these dimensions on its own (I do not know what is the logic system is following to assign numbers to these dimensions)
Questions:
1. What is the logic system is following for assignment of the numbers to User defined dimensions?
2. Can I change these numbers to U1, U2 and U3 (for ease in ad-hoc reporting). If YES how can I do that?
Thanks

Hi,
The userdefined dimensions are named Sequentially as they are created and these are not constant for them, the same dimension may have different names in different applications.
Also the user defined dimensions are named as Ua to Ux in NW.
For example, in App1 some dimension X may be named as Uc, the same dimension X in App2 may be named as Ud or some other.
We need to manually work betweeen "a to x" with the below macro to find the exact name for the user defined dimension in the application.
"MNU_eTOOLS_MEMBERSELECTOR_X"
Eg:
MNU_eTOOLS_MEMBERSELECTOR_Ua
Also as suggested in earlier replies i dont think this naming can be changed.
Hope this helps,

  • How to Manage index of user define dimensions

    When I create a new rate application,The BPC system throw the message"Index was out of range:must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection parameter name :Index".
    I searched oss notes:1323195 saying :"A user can change the index of user-defined dimensions by clicking a button named "Manage Index" in "Modify application". The button will be shown if**
    *there are user-defined dimensions already assigned to an application or at*
    *the moment of assigning a user-defined. If the button is clicked a windows*
    *will popup, and the user can maintain a user-defined dimension index from*
    *the window."*
    But  i can't find the menu "manage index" .
    could someone tell me how to find it?
    thanks

    Just go trough Manage application and Modify application and use reindex and full process.
    This normally should fix your issue.

  • Maximum number of User defined dimensions in Planning v11.1.2

    Hi guys,
    I am new to Hyperion Planning version 11.1.2, just wanted to clarify what is the maximum number of User defined dimensions that can be added in a planning application.
    I've also learnt that the number of Alias tables is more than the previous versions. What is the maximum number of Alias tables in Planning version 11.1.2 ?
    Regards.

    Maximum number of alias tables is 10 including the default alias table
    As for custom dimensions then I wouldn't expect you to hit a maximum unless you want to design a planning application destined to fail.

    Hi,
    This is a very generic Error.
    u2022You can try re-booting the server.
    u2022Prior to re-boot log-in to the server and verify that the +COM objects are working or all started
    u2022You may also get this error if a dimension has not processed, which means the application is not processed
    u2022Another problem that can cause this problem is that the password for the installation user has been changed or that the installation user is locked out.
    u2022Do you see error in BPC Server Manager -> Diagnostic?
    There are several SAP Notes also available for this Error u2013 1246092, 1223846

  • PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ...) and user defined dimensions

    Hi,
    I created a custom package that should enable the user to select members of  the TIME, Account and Category dimensions and also members of some user defined dimension called "Costcent". After that, a scriptlogic file should be called.
    I tried:
    1)
    PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... %TIME_DIM%%ACCOUNT_DIM%%CATEGORY_DIM%"Costcenter")
    which doesn't work, bc. compiler doesnt seem to like %var%"fixedexpression"
    2)
    PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... "Costcenter")
    PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... %TIME_DIM%%ACCOUNT_DIM%%CATEGORY_DIM%)
    running the package only allows to select a costcenter, 2nd prompt ignored?
    3) similar, the other way round.
    Any ideas?
    Moreover, I need to be able to access the selection of the Costcenter members in the script logic. For the std. dimensions, there is %TIME_SET%, %CATEGORY_SET% etc.I am using successfully, but how to define or access the set (or list) for the selected members of user-def. "CostCent" dimension ?
    Thanks for your help!

    Clear Bug: Using the DataManager to modify the .dtsx file sometimes modifies the prompt lines in an unpredictable way... So the file that is safed doesn't get the content it is intended to get... - Guess "this should never happen", but it is...

  • Need help: unable to change user defined dimension

    Hi,
    I have a problem with BPC. I installed BPC Server and BPC Client NW7.5 SP9. I can duplicate, create and modify all standard dimensions (Account, Category, Entity, Time) in my own application as also in appshell.
    I can duplicate or create a user defined dimension, but I cannot modify that user defined dimension. I change the elements, then I process my changes. But after I have refreshed the dimension all changes are reverted.
    I looked in UJFS and can see that .xls and .xlt are uploaded on NW correctly. Even on my local machine it is changed, but BPC does not recognize that.
    Has anyone an idea what to do? I need not only the standard dimensions but also user defined dimensions.
    Regards

    We've got this problem on non-unicode system on SP08, as Frank. Corrected with SP09.
    Maybe you have to check if all components patched well (NW, .Net and client):
    - In NW Go to System-Status-Component Information. CPMBPC must have level 0009.
    - On .Net Server check Server Version in Planning and Consolidation Server utility (.09)
    - In client for Excel check ETools-About Planning and Consolidation (7.50.09).
    If that's correct, first check, if new records occur in BW object for your dimension (in rsa1). Or maybe that info-object somehow become inactive.
    And did you mark checkbox "Process members from member shett" during processing the dimension?

  • Difference between UDA & User-Defined Dimension

    Hi all,
    I need to know what the difference between UDA and User-Defined Dimension and when can i use each one??
    thanks in advance

    UDAs are descriptive words that you can use to categories members of a dimension.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/uda_tab.html
    Using UDA, For ex: in Customer Dim you can divide customers into CAT A, B or C and then can use these UDAs in calc scripts, query them later in reports etc.
    User defined Dimension: Is any new dimension that you add to planning application apart from default ones.

  • User defined dimensions in planning

    hi all can any one tell me where are the user defined dimensions in planning are stored in the backend realtional tables ? I am learning about the worlkflow of the backend tables and how will they react to any changes that are made in the front end. I got the tables where pre defined dimensions are stored but i created a dimension called "CUSTOM" and checked it in the HSP_OBLECT, HSP_DIMENSION tables but did not find it. Can any one tell me whats actually going on in the backend ??
    thanks in advance,
    Ranjith Kumar. P

    You can find the dimension name in HPS_Object under Object_Name column and for the dimension Id you can check HSP_Dimension.
    Something like:
    Select Object_Name from HSP_OBJECT WHERE (Object_ID in (Select Dim_ID from HSP_Dimension))
    and just for finding the object_id of dimension name "Custom":
    Select * from HSP_OBJECT where Object_Name like 'Custom'
    Here is more information on all the relational data-models:

  • Dynamic script - User defined dimension

    Hi
    I have the following problem.
    When i create a task in the data manager, and i want the user to select some menbers of the dimensions to be used in the script logic, for example, if i want him to select the time all i do is a PROMPT tag with the %TIME_DIM% variable.
    What if i want a user defined dimention, lets say product for instance.
    If i use the variable %DIMS% i get the product dimension and all others, but i want only the PRODUCT dimension.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi Leandro,
    You can try something like below:
    PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,%SELECTION%,,"Select the members to CLEAR",%DIMS%)
    You can replace the above statement by
    PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,%SELECTION%,,"Select the members to CLEAR",CATEGORY)
    In the above statement, CATEGORY is just the name of the dimension. You can try similarly with other dimensions too.
    Hope this helps.

  • Journal Problem with Replicating another dimension on User Defined

    Hi experts,
    A curious thing is happing on development, I follow the HTG "SAP Business Planning and Consolidation for NetWeaver - Journals.pdf"; and this generate fine the journal, but when I was testing, doing a simple journal entry, a trouble occurred, the template has the structure below:
    Header:
    Category
    Time
    Group
    Row:
    DataSrc
    Entity
    Account
    Intco
    Flow - SubTable
    CLucro - User Defined
    CCusto - User Defined
    So when I fill all the information to every dimension and put the amount, I save, and don't get any error message, but on CLucro and CCusto appears the value of flow, and if I consult the Infocube on listcube I get this dimensions in blank.

  • Will ASE system defined error number fall into user defined error numbers starting from 20000?

    The maximum error number in sysmessages:
    select max(error) from master.dbo.sysmessages
    ON ASE 15.0.3
    column1   
    19975     
    ON ASE 15.7
    select max(error) from master.dbo.sysmessages
    column1   
    19999

    Hi Siddhartha,
    I don't expect ASE to start using error numbers in the user-defined range.  I'm part of the group that reviews new messages, and conserving the shrinking pool of available numbers is certainly a concern of ours. We are actually still some ways away from running out of numbers.
    The error numbers are actually a concatenation of a major family number (the 100s values)
    and minor numbers 0-99 in each family.  There are many families of errors that have unused values, one possibility is that we could use those unused values for errors that don't really belong in that family.   Another thing we can do (though it would have to be in a major release of both open client and ASE) would be to introduce another mechanism that might work just the same as error messages but be called, say, "notifications" or "faults' (though that term is already used by checkstorage.
    There actually already exist two such families of messages, one called "errors" and the other called "messages".  You can see this when configuring a shared memory dump, both are possible dump conditions.  "Errors" show up in the errorlog displaying the message number, severity, and a state value, while "Messages" just display text and support has to look up the associated message number in the ASE sourcecode.  (Not all text messages in the log are actual messages like this, some are just text that gets printed that one can't configure a memory dump on.)
