Page Dimension Members & Security

I have cost centers dimension in my page view on a data form. My question is that will the cost center dimension members be displayed as per security/access permissions when users click the drop down menu ? In other words, if a user only has access to costcenters a,b & c - is that all they will see ?
Version is 11.1.2.

Roles can be assigned to a user (via HSS):

Page Dimension Members

Does anyone knows if it's possible to set up a specific members in page dimension, in order that when user opens the data form, he will see the top members of the dimension.
For example:
Dim_Entity
- Total Geography
- Europe
- Germany
- France
- North America
- USA
- Canada
The goal is that everytime user opens the form, he will see Total Geography, and then he can select other members in that dimension.
Thanks

By Default the first member of the parent will be displayed, and as you mentioned you can say no to "Remember selected page members" under Page options

RDMBS tables for Dimension Members Security

Hi
We have assign user access to Dimension members in Planning. I just want to know, which is the RDBMS table where i can get detail of the access for some reporting purpose.
Pls its very urgent
Regards

If you are an Oracle dbms user then try the below - I have rewritten the script from the Cameron Blog for those of us fortunate enough not to be in sqlserver....
SELECT
    O.OBJECT_NAME,
    -- Subquery to get user or group name
    (SELECT OA.OBJECT_NAME
        FROM HSP_OBJECT OA
        WHERE OA.OBJECT_ID = AC.USER_ID) AS UserGroupName,
    CASE
    -- Subquery to get user or group type
        (SELECT OA.OBJECT_TYPE
            FROM HSP_OBJECT OA
        WHERE OA.OBJECT_ID = AC.USER_ID)
        WHEN 5 THEN 'User'
        WHEN 6 THEN 'Group'
    END AS Security_Type,
    CASE AC.ACCESS_MODE
        WHEN 1 THEN 'Read'
        WHEN 3 THEN 'Write'
        WHEN -1 THEN 'Deny'
    END AS ReadWrite,
    CASE AC.FLAGS
        WHEN 0 THEN 'Member'
        WHEN 5 THEN 'Children'
        WHEN 6 THEN 'IChildren'
        WHEN 8 THEN 'Descendants'
        WHEN 9 THEN 'IDescendants'
        END AS Hier_Function,
    OT.TYPE_NAME AS Object_Type
FROM HSP_OBJECT O
INNER JOIN HSP_ACCESS_CONTROL AC
    ON O.OBJECT_ID = AC.OBJECT_ID
INNER JOIN HSP_OBJECT_TYPE OT
    ON O.OBJECT_TYPE = OT.OBJECT_TYPE

Planning menus driven off of the Page dimension controls in Smart View

Apologies if this question is answered but I simply couldn't find an answer on the web, or in OTN, or on Oracle Support, or even (gasp) in the docs.
With that preamble...
I have a Planning form with popup/right click menus that, in a web browser -- IE9 in this case, can be called by right clicking on the row headers (or, with great difficulty in 11.1.2.2) the itsy-bitsy little Page dimension drop down triangles. Some (most) of the menus use the Planning Required Parameters feature to read row or page dimension members to pass the selected member as context to the new form.
So what about Smart View? Ah yes, in Smart View the row header right click allows the menu that uses Required Parameters to drive, for instance, Employee Detail for an Account (Planning passes the Account to a new form). It works just fine. This is the same as IE9.
But I simply cannot figure out how to make Smart View's POV display a popup/right click menu and of course pass that dimension member to the new form. Beyond reading the above sources, I tried just about everything i could think of in Smart View. Is it possible? If not, this would be a major bummer because the planners are not exactly in love with the ADF interface but do rather like Smart View.
Fwiw, it is Excel 2010 and Smart View 11.1.2.2.300 (Build 070).
Thanks,
Cameron Lackpour

I've not seen someone using a menu in POV (There could be valid reason for you doing it).
11.1.2.2 If you are using an dimension in POV as required parameter IE shows it in POV, Smartview is not showing that option at all. (Right click on Form shows blank)
I tried it on 11.1.2.3 to see something got fixed there (or updated) and found that right click on row shows the menu item (POV). (You don't need to right click on POV)

Selectively pulling members in dataform based on a page dimension

Hi,
I have an entity dimension having business units and location dimension having cost centers. for example,
I placed --> just to show you the hierarchy properly and has no meaning to the dimension member. Hyperion planning version 11
Entity(gen 1)
-->X1(gen 2)
-->X2(gen 2)
----->X3(gen 3)
-------->X4(gen 4)
-------->X5(gen 4)
----->X6(gen 3)
-------->X7(gen 4)
-------->X8(gen4)
Location(gen 1)
-->Y1(gen 2)
----->Y2(gen 3)
----->Y3(gen 3)
-->Y4(gen 2)
----->Y5(gen 3)
----->Y6(gen 3)
and when we do allocation, user will select the member in entity dimension which is a page dimension in a data form.
Is it possible when he selects X4 it should only bring Y2 and Y3 from location dimension and when the user selects X7 it should only bring Y5 and Y6.
If my question is not clear, please let me know. Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Sai

Hi,
Assuming you have locations* on rows and months and accounts* on columns for example, prepare and load below data for all entity-location combinations to essbase.
Entity Location Period Data
X4 Y2 BegBalance 1
X4 Y3 BegBalance 1
Make sure you load this to begbalance and a dummy account which I assume is not used in budget data collection.
Place Begbalance as the first column on the form. Check "Suppress Missing Block" selection from form edit menu.
Now whenever you change the entity from page, only associated locations should be visible in the form.
Cheers,
Alp

Position Page Dimension in FR

In Financial Reporting (9.3.1), when i create a report with a page dimension, in the html version of the report, the page drop-down is always in the middle of the page. Is there a way to move and position this page drop-down to some other places, for example, the top-left corner or top-right corner?
Thanks

Hi
If you are asking what I think you are asking, i.e. "how can I get a PDF for just the 1 page that I have selected from the page dimension in a Financial Reporting Report rather than getting a PDF with a page for each member in the page dimension" then I'm afraid you can't.
FR sees members on the page dimension as part of the report and this has several consequences:
1. When you run the report you may notice it takes longer (particularly if there are a lot of members on the page) as data is retrieved for all members selected on the page dimension so that you can then quickly change from one to another without having to run further queries against the database.
2. You cannot then produce a seperate PDF for a specific member from the page dimension.
Have you tried moving the dimension from the page to the POV? You can only select a single member at a time in the POV and whilst this has similar opposite implications to those above I tend to find it works better and there is only one page when you convert to PDF.
Hope this helps
Stuart

What is a page dimension?

What is a page dimension?
What is POV dimension?

A page filter holds filters of dimensions members for a given pivot table analysis.
When analyzing multi-dimensional databases you're often reporting in pivot tables. Hyperion tends to use a Column, Row, Pages and POV pivot table layout.
POV is a feature that filters the report like pages, but follows the user around as they open other reports.

Can I pass the selected member at page dimension to form business rule?

I have a business rule which will be executed when the form get loaded, the business rule is very complex, so I want to narrow down the calculation by passing the selected member at page dimension to the business rule.
For example, I have year as page dimension, and I only want to calculate the selected year at one time? How can I do it?
I know runtime prompt, but I don't think it's a good way, since you need to select again.
Thanks
Tony

You can use a variable and a run time prompt.
You can set the business rule options in planning to "Use Members on Form" and "Hide Run time prompt"
This way the page/pov member will be passed into the business and into the variable.

Dimension level Security

Hi All,
Can anyone help me in providing Dimension level security for some members in a dimension? I have given planning application access as "Interactive User" and Reporting Level as "Explorer and Viewer".
I am using Hyperion 11.1.1.3.
Thanks in advance

No the roles in Shared Services are not for defining member access in the planning application, if you want more information on the planning roles in shared services have a look at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_security/apas07.html

Hyperion Reports Page Dimension Auto Calc

In Hyperion Reports 7.x, is there a way to create an autocalculation in the page dimension? Similar to rows andcolumns, I would like to create a "grand total" memberwithin my page dimension that is a SUM of any dynamically selectedpagedimension (when prompted to select any multiple members). Please let me know if there is a way to perform this function. If there is a workaround, I would appreciate anyone's inputas well. Thanks for your help! Ron P.

1) Click on the top of the column and then go to the column properties pane on the right. Go to the Suppression section and you have a coulpe of choices. You can choose a Basic option and supress if the column Is Zero and/or Missing values. You can also choose advanced options and click the setup button. A new box will open and give you the ability to set criteria for suppressing the column. For instance if member name of product selected is "Product1" supress, otherwise show the column.2) There is no option, I am aware of, to do this. A non-elegant workaround would be to highlight the text on the HTML page, copy and paste it into Excel. The new version of Hyperion Reports 7.2 now supports exporting reports from HTML to Excel with Formating. I'm not sure whether or not that means headings will be exported as well.3) You have to use the grid POV to do this. Move your mouse to the top left corner of your grid, where the rows and columns meet. Right click and select "Grid Point of View Setup...". A new properties box will open up where you can restrict the POV to specific members.Hope this helps.Regards,Gary CrisciSenior ConsultantPinnacle Group Worldwide

SSMS hangs when SSAS role dimension data security is accessed

In the last two weeks, when we try to access the dimension data tab of an SSAS security role properties through SSMS the application hangs. It cannot bring up the dimension members. The error detail just says ProblemEventName: AppHangB1
and the version and operating system and some hex locations.
This does not happen in Visual Studio (BIDS) only in SSMS. The only choices available once the application hangs are to wait (but nothing ever happens to end the wait) or to close the program (or search for a solution and restart) which of course
closes SSMS.
I have tried reprocessing all the dimensions but that does not fix the issue.
Diane Blackwood

Hi Diane,
According to your description, when you access dimension data in SSMS via a user under security role, it can't bring the members and hang with ProblemEventName: AppHangB1 error thrown. Right?
In this scenario, since the security role works in BIDS, there should no issue on the dimension itself. Based on the error message, it's more like a compatibility issue on SSMS. Firstly please make sure your SSMS is compatible with your operation
system.
This issue can happen when your computer has more than 32 processors. You can start the SSMS using only one processor through command prompt:
start /affinity 0x00000001 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\ssms.exe
Also this issue has been fixed in the KB below, please repair your .NET Framework and apply the hot fix:
https://support2.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;2276255
If the issue still persists, please uninstall and reinstall the SSMS(compatible with your OS).

Dimension level Security in SSM

Hello,
Requirement,
The dimension PLANT in PAS under PAS Model ABCD looks as below
ROOT
ASSET1
ASSET2
we have single CONTEXT called ASSET meaning one model connection to link ASSET context to PAS Model ABCD.
CE level SSM users USER1 and USER2 are created.
When user1 logins, he should be dyanamically restricted to ASSET1
When user2 logins, he should be dyanamically restricted to ASSET2
Please help.
Best Regards

Hi Shashi,
This is a standard feature used already in many implementations worldwide. For the same context, you can restrict which measures and/or dimension members a user or user group can have access to.
In order to put in place this kind of security, you have to create different Application Server Connections inside the Model Connection you have associated with the Context.
In the Model Connections screen, search for a box called App.Server Connections. Click on new. This will allow you to establish a connection to the same PAS model, but using a different PAS user. In the end, you will need to create as many App.Server Connections, each one with a different PAS user associated, as the different access profiles you want to create for your users.
To each App.Server Connection, and so to each PAS user, you can assign different user groups and/or users.
The rest of the configuration has to be done directly in the PAS model, creating a procedure called SECURITY and specifying there which measures and/or dimension members each PAS user will have access to. You will need, of course, to create all of the PAS users first.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Ricardo Vieira

Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1 Page Dimension

I am using FR 11.1.2.1 and connected to Planning. When I selected two dimensions in the page and preview the reports, the two page dimensions will be "combined" in one page filter. For example, if I set up Year and Period in the page, it will be FY11-Jan, FY11-Feb...etc. Is there a way we can keep the two dimensions separated as two filters? Thank you.
Jerry

Hi Mehmet,
Thank you for your response. Sorry I forgot to mention that we were connecting to Planning, not Essbase. I recalled that this problem doesn't exist in the FR 9.1, but for some reasons it happened in FR 11.1.2. I will check the link you provided to see if there is any connection.
By the way, do you happen to know if it's possible to separate the page filters defined in the FR? For example, I would like to have Year and Period as two different filters, not combined as one showing FY12-Jan, FY12-Feb...etc. Thank you in advance!
Jerry

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.)
