Performance Point Filter Scorecard by Time Dimension (without Time Intelligence)

Hello,
I use Performance Point 2010 and want to build a Performance Point Dashboard with Scorecard. My requirement is to provide a List of Years as a Filter for a Scorecard.
In the Scorecard I have a KPI which I want filter by Time Dimension. I can do this when I use "Time Intelligence" and "Time Intelligence Connection". But I want to use the "Member Selection Filter" to filter the Scorecard
KPIs by Years (Selected from a List).
I created a "Member Selection Filter" with certain Time Dimension and put Filter to a Dashboard. In my KPI Mapping Source I added a "new Dimension Filter" and choosed the same Time Dimension as
in the "Member Selection Filter".
When I try to connect the "Member Selection Filter" to my Scorecard, I can only choose the "Curent Date Time". As I know "Current Date Time" have to be used when Time Intelligence Filter is in use.
How I have to connect the Scorecard with the "Member Selection Filter"?
Thank you very much

Hi ShebUK,
I don't think we can achieve this requirement on the front end, but you can discuss this issue at the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=performancepointserver
I'm not familiar with PerformancePoint Services and not sure that we can implement linked dimension to achieve this. A linked dimension is one that exists in one Analysis Services database, but reused in another Analysis Services database of the same version
and compatibility level. For more information, please see:

Performance point Filter error : " There was a problem preparing the WebPart for display"

I’m going to create a performance point filter .I chose “Custom Table” type to select Project Name for my reports. I have some reports which have Project Name (ProjectUID as value) as parameter .So I’m going to create a filter based on Project Name (ProjectUID
as value) to use for all report. these are my settings:
Table: MSP_EpmProject_Userview
Key :ProjectUID
Parentkey: (none)
Display Value: ProjectName
Is default: (none)
But when I add these web part to my page I see this error:
“There was a problem preparing the WebPart for display.
Column 'ProjectName' does not allow nulls.”
I don’t know what should I do
is there any other wy to do this?

Hi,
I have a similar issue, did you manage to find a solution?

Performance point filter

Hello,
I have two create MDX Performance point filter which will gereate result set like from this query:
select {} on columns,
[abc].[family].CHILDREN
on rows
from
[Tr]
WHERE
{ [abc].[code].&[001], [MTR].[Code].&[002], [MTR].[Code].&[008], [MTR].[Code].&[010]}
Basically, I am trying to filter something like this: I does nt seem to work like this,
FILTER([abc].[family].CHILDREN,{ [abc].[code].&[001], [MTR].[Code].&[002], [MTR].[Code].&[008], [MTR].[Code].&[010]})

I figured it out. I was able to use OR operator in filter ()

Fiscal Year Time Dimension - Month Time Span

I have a need to create a fiscal year time dimension and I created using Time Wizard in OWB. When I was developing BI Reports, I found some inconsistencies in Time dimension as it was showing figures in all the months of my first quarter of new financial year that Apr 2009 – Mar 2010. On close inspection of Time Dimension table I found that fiscal_month_time_span value varies from 35 to 28 to 29 for different months. i.e. it’s not matching with corresponding Calendar month. This means I am unable to plot data correctly using fiscal year dimension.
Maybe this is how it works in Oracle, but this does not solve my problem. Could anyone give me some solution for this ? My Fiscal year is from ‘1- Apr – 09’ to ’31-Mar-10’. In my reports I would like to see transactions for April month when I use month attribute of time dimension like it happens in Calendar time dimension.

May be someone from

Time Dimension - Expanding Time Table Dates

Hi all!
I have an Analysis Services project with a Time table that was created through the wizard.
(Generate a table in the data source option)
The date range used was too small, is there a method to add more dates into the table? Hoping I won't have to recreate the dimension again from scratch.
thanks in advance!

Hi D_Good,
According to your description, you create a time table using "Generate a table in the data source option", and the issue is that the date range was to small, right?
When creating a table table using "Generate a table in the data source option", we can specify the time periods, and also the start and end dates for the dimension.
So in your scenario, you can specify the first calendar day earlier to expand the time table dates.
Reference.

Wireless backup with Time Machine WITHOUT Time Capsule

Hi All,
I was lucky enough to get a 1Tb external drive for Christmas and was wondering if there was a way of backing up my Macbook Pro wirelessly? I have both an Intel iMac running Snow Leopard and a 2008 Macbook pro, and a Sky wireless router. Is there anyway to either connect the hard drive to the router and backup both computers through this, or connect the hard drive to the iMac and get the laptop to backup through this wirelessly? I've tried searching for answers, with minimal luck, can anyone help?
Thanks!

Requirements to use Time Machine
Time Machine is only available with Leopard (10.5.x)
1. External FireWire or USB 2.0 drive
2. Time Capsule
3. Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 or later using File Sharing
4. Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 Server
5. SAN volume managed by Apple's Xsan file system
A TM drive must be partitioned with either APM (PPC) or GUID (Intel) and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
So the answer is, No you cannot use TM to backup to a drive connected to the router you have. You can connect the drive to one of your computers and use TM to backup to the drive from the other computer. You must have File Sharing enabled on the computer to which the drive is connected. You must connect to that computer from the other computer using Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu. When you do you have to log into the other file sharing computer as a registered user - use the admin account username and password for the admin account on the file sharing computer. Once connected the remote drive will appear in the TM preferences as a potential backup drive.
Note that even if your router supports 80211n protocols wireless backup is very slow - much slower than even USB. You will also need to leave the file sharing computer running all the time (no sleep because during sleep there is no wireless) and the other computer must stay connected in order to allow the regular hourly TM backups to occur. TM only backs up one computer at a time, but it will backup both computers independently.

Create report with time dimensions

I want to add the following dimensions in the extend report: calendar, period (Week, Month, Quarter, Year), compare to (Prior Year, Prior Period).
I have made some researchs and I have consulted oracle metalink but without succes.
I will be grateful if someone can indicate me where to find a concret example of the creation of time dimensions
Regards

Refer OBI Administration Guide, for creating Dimensions (includes Time Dimension Concepts)
Following link contains the example for implementing Time Dimension:

Samp App V207 - joins F10 to time dimensions

Hi everybody,
I just had a look at the BIEE Sample App V207 and noticed that the physical fact table 'F10 Billed Rev' is joined to 3 Time dimensions:
'D01 Time Day Grain'
'D02 Time Month Grain'
'D03 Time Quarter Grain'
What's the idea behind this - performance improvements when doing time series calculations?
Thanks for your input
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
Here it is maintaining three different levels so it can be helpful for aggregation tables and maintaining multiple LTS in BMM layer. The main purpose is for performance tuning, the server hits any of this tables based on the time level used in analysis.
For ex: If the analysis is based on month level then the server will hit Month level table.
Please mark if it is helpful/correct.
Revert me for any queries.

I would be thankfull for any suggestions!

Hello wildmight.
I followed this tutorial:
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/04/30/obi-ee-time-dimensions-and-time-series-calculations/
Why should this layout not work?
Do you have a better idea?
When you say "it has to be one table" do you mean
that quartermonthday and year need to be ONE?
I just rememered that Oracle Hyperion Planning has to have
time and months seperated.
Hello mod100.
What do you mean hierachy over the time dimension?
Is it not obvious from the screen print that I have a hierachy
i.e. yeartotal - years and
quarters - months- days.
I read that by default the LEVELS are set to the lowerst. so thats fine. I set them by myself to the lowest as well but the ERROR is still the same.
no, I have not set the levels as in

'Time' dimension hierarchy Required

Dear all,
We came across one requirement where 'Time' dimension having 365 days along with month, quarter, halfyear and yeartot as their ancestor.
"Time" Dimension hierarchy:
Time
- Yeartot
- Half year
- Quarters
- Months
- Days
Also we need alternate hierarchy in time dimension:
Time
- Yeartot
- Weeks
- Week1
- 1 Apr
- 2 Apr
- Week2
Weeks are Monday to sunday.
We are using 11.1.1.2 version.
Can anyone suggest me how to achieve this in Planning?
Thanks in Adv,
Bunny

I believe the limit for Planning's Period dimension is 400 members.
That's going to get you the first bit, but not the alternate hierarchy.
Does this alternate hierarchy have to be in Planning, or could it be in Essbase only?
This isn't exactly a recommended strategy, but I think you can still use the HSP_UDF UDA in Essbase to basically make your alternate hierarchy happen only in Essbase. It won't show up on forms, but will be available from a reporting tool.
I have not tried HSP_UDF (it was used all the time on pre System 9 (maybe Planning 4) Planning apps to get in member formulas) in 11, so it may be worth trying a small alternate hierarchy with that UDF and then forcing a refresh to see if it still sticks about.

TIME dimension no results

Hi all,
I have installed the BI apps 7.9.6.3 and runned the Human Resource of the PeopleSoft ETL. While I create new analytics , I found that most fields were correct except the Time Demension.
The issue is like below:
1) When I just drag one field of Time Dimension , there is no results in the result tab.
2)When I drag more than one field of Time Dimension, the time field value appears.
If you know the reason ,please help me. Thanks
Edited by: 977447 on Dec 17, 2012 11:17 PM

Make sure you got data for the criteria and also disable the cache and see how its working..
Just in case check that implicit fact column is mapped to the subject area, can check with properties..
if you dont see any changes then give us more details..
If this helps pls mark

Time Dimension as Sparse

Hi All
Thought I would ask for some feedback on a change i am checking on.
Currently have a cube with Accounts and Time set as dense. But this creates a block size of around 400k.
I have created a test app and changed time dim to sparse and the block size has dropped to around 40k. Its a very new cube so there arent a lot of calculations currently written for it.
My test calc ran for 3 hours on the cube prior to changing the Time dimension and after changing the Time dimension to sparse, now completes in 12 seconds. The aggregated numbers look good.
What are the Cons to implementing Time as sparse?
Simon

You didn't state if you planned on using DTS for your time dimension. If so, the dynamic members would need to grab multiple blocks in order to calculate your QTD or YTD members. It's not a huge deal if your hardware is up to the task, but the users may experience a little slowness when pulling those members. If you are not using DTS, don't flag the time dimension as "Time" at all because that will affect how the default calc will work (Accounts, Time, Dense members, Sparse members). Most people don't use the default calc anyways, but if you're not using DTS, there is no reason to flag the time dim as "Time".

Performance Point - 1 Dashboard, 2 cubes, 1 Time intelligence filter, filtering 2 different date dimensions on different cubes!

Hi
Hope you are well.
I have a challenge. I am working with Performance Point and a number of different cubes.
In this case I need to include graphs and charts from 2 different cubes on one dashboard page.
The challenge I have, is to be able to use a Time Intelligence filter from one cube, eg, [TimeSold].[Calendar hierarchy] on Cube 1, and for this to filter graphs from the second cube (second cube [Time].[Calendar hierarchy]), on one dashboard page.
Is there any way I can achieve this using MDX or Parameters within performance point?
I cannot amend the cubes or dimensions. I have to work with the front end tools only.

Hi ShebUK,
I don't think we can achieve this requirement on the front end, but you can discuss this issue at the following forum:

Performance Point Dashboard Designer filter and SSRS parameter problem

I've created reports in SSRS, with parameters, but can't get the filter in Performancepoint to have any affect on the SSRS parameter/reports. My SSRS reports are using shared datasets I've created, with no cubes. My SSRS parameter is text data type.
In the Dashboard Content window, I have the filter in the header, and have drug (at different times) the display value and the member unique name to the report.
In this header area (with filter), clicking the down arrow, there is no Edit Connection option. Should there be? Or would that only be to connect to a higher up filter? When clicking Create Connection, under the Items tab, 'get values from' lists header
and Date and is greyed out, I can put the report name in 'send values to', but under Connect To, there are no options. Why? And the OK button is greyed out.
In the report area, the filter name (Date) is listed underneath Connections. And right clicking the filter for this connection and clicking Edit Connection, under the Items tab, under 'get values from', it says header and Date, and under 'send values to',
zone 1 - and the report name is listed. Under the Values tab, the parameter name (DateNameParm) is listed in the Connect To, and I've tried both member unique name and display value for source value.
There's another thread on here titled "Performance Point - Dashboard Filter Not Working with SSRS Reporting Parameters" (won't let me post link), where someone here says they had to change the filter data type
from GUID, but I see no place to do this.

Hi Roberto,
Dashboard layout and sizing in PerformancePoint is very flexible. This article covers nearly all of the sizing options available, one basic dashboard page scenario and a few common questions.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2008/01/07/performancepoint-dashboard-sizing-explained.aspx
Please go to the last question and answer: “filters are locked to auto-sizing,
so their width will override the size of their parent zone. Minimum filter width may be adjusted in the ParameterTree.css file. See the article
Working with the Monitoring CSS Files to Adjust Settings in Deployed Dashboards on the PerformancePoint team blog for more detail.”
As a best practice, put dashboard filters in a separate zone from where you put reports and scorecards. Otherwise, items such as chart legends or reports might not be displayed correctly.
