Period Dimension members

Hi All,
I want to calculate Period Dimension members Jan to Dec only.
I have some more period dimension members at level 0.
If I use @LEVMBRS("Period",0), it will caluculate all the level 0 members in the period dimension. But I want to calculate only Jan to Dec.
May I use Jan:Dec in the FIX Statement?
Thanks & Regards,
Sravan Kumar.

Hi,
Yes you can use them in a fix
FIX(Jan:Dec)
ENDFIX
Cheers

  • Deleting custom Period dimension members

    Hi,
    We are in Planning 11.1.2.1. and we created custom period dimension members (while creating application). Now we would like to delete one of those members (whcih is at level0). Obviously we don't see an option of delete in planning web interface. One option is to recreate the application but is there any way we can delete this member in oracle database. If yes, it would be great if you can provide us the table details.
    Thanks,
    Siva

    As John suggested it is not advisible, however you can delete in Essbase using Planning:
    1. Edit custom dimsion
    2. un-select all plan type
    3. cube referesh
    Hope this will help.

  • Period dimension members display

    Hi,
    we have set up start period to Jan and end period to Mar for Actual /member of scenario/
    in planning form we want to display only those three periods however we see all periods /other periods are read-only/.
    thanks for help

    How about using essbase substitution variables, for example actPeriod1 set as Jan, actPeriod2 set as Feb, actPeriod3 set as Mar, and do the same for Forecast months.
    Then put these substitution variables in the form instead of the months.
    Then when the months change you can just change the substitution variables and you won't have to touch the forms, the changing of the substitution variables can be scripted with maxl and batched up and scheduled.

  • Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'Jun' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed

    HI,
    I am using V11.1.2.2 Hyperion Planning. I am currently getting an error:
    Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'Jun' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed
    This is what i got when i tried to add alternate hierarchy to my shared dimension. I tried to delete it and it messed up.
    NOw it wont deploy my application.
    Can any one suggest.
    Thanks in advance

    EPMA!!!!! EPMA!!!!
    I'm playing around with it to write a blog post and it is crazy. Only possible workaround (till now i'm not able to figure out a solution to it) is to copy the application and deploy it as a new one. Take copy of all objects (forms, tasklist etc). Delete the corrupted application and rename the new one to old.

  • EPMA Period Dimension - cannot move Base members

    I am trying to move Periods out of Quarters and under YearTotal in an already deployed application in EPMA (Planning app).
    I want to have YearTotal above Jan-Dec, and Q1-Q4 as Dynamic Calcs with months shared below.
    This is all well and good in planning classic where you can just delete the quarters and the months fall under year total.
    In EPMA, because this change was not made in advance of deployment, when I make it now I get a validation fail about
    "Base Time Periods cannot be moved after an application has been deployed". Fair Enough - if that is the rule then fine but hopefully there is a workaround.
    So I moved them back to the original structure, and now I am getting double the number of validation errors - one for moving, and another one for removing !!
    Rolled back the EPMA database to resolve the above but my question is has anyone figured a way to move months post deployment ?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I had the same problem and I found a solution.
    1/. You have to transform the EPMA application to classic following these instructions:
    - Connect to the planning application, in the top menu click on "Administration > Application > Properties"
    - Add the property "EDIT_DIM_ENABLED", and set the value to "true"
    - Restart Planning Service
    - Connect to the "Application Library", right click on your application and select "Diagnostics"
    - Check the option “Deployed but classic application in product”, click on “run selected test”, then into the “Test Detail” part check the option “delete from EPMA only” and finally click on "apply".
    2/. Connect to the Planning application you make your change into the period dimension. ("Administration > Manage > Dimensions")
    3/. Finally you transform your Classic to EPMA application following these instructions:
    - Connect to the workspace and use the wizard to convert your classic to epma application ("Navigate > Administer > Transform Classic to EPM Architect")
    - Connect to the "Application Library", right click on your application and select "Diagnostics"
    - Check the option "Deployed but not in product" click on “run selected test”, then into the “Test Detail” part check the option "Retrieve" and finally the option "Syncronize".
    Hope it helps you.

  • Value based hierarchies and Period dimension should only contain  2  monthl

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what is value based hierarchies. And also can anyone let me know to filter the records in AWm because in Period dimension should only contain 2 monthly values (Oct. 2008 ( 200810) and Sep. 2008 ( 200809)) it is urgent.
    Thanks
    vel

    The following definition of a value hierarchy comes from the OLAP Developers guide
    "A hierarchy defined only by the parent-child relationships among dimension members. The dimension members at a particular distance from the base level do not form a meaningful group for analysis, so the levels are not named. For example, an employee dimension might have a parent-child relation that identifies each employee's supervisor. However, levels that group together first-, second-, and third-level supervisors and so forth may not be meaningful for analysis."
    Typically this means that the source table has two columns, VALUE and PARENT, where PARENT has a (logical) foreign key relationship to VALUE. An example may be EMPLOYEE, MANAGER, where MANAGERs are also EMPLOYEEs.
    The simplest way to restrict the values loaded into the AW is to define a SQL view over the source table with an appropriate WHERE condition. You then use AWM to map the dimension to your new view. E.g.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW RESTRICTED_TIME AS
    SELECT *
    FROM TIME
    WHERE MONTH IN (200810, 200809)

  • Sparse VS Dense and neglecting Period Dimension

    Hi All,
    I am working on a classic planning application, in which i have 3 custom dimensions apart from six standard dimension. As the application grows and we start developing business rule we feel the need for optimization of our application hence along with increasing Cache Size, Block Size etc. we also make changes in JVM registry and lastly we also convert our Custom dimension to Dense from Sparse. As we are always using these dimension at either row/columns. Now i have to different questions:
    1) there are three custom attributes associated with one of my Custom dimension with 150descendants, so if i change it to Dense then i loss those three custom attributes. So is there any way to convert this from sparse to dense while having the attributes with it. Note: I am using this dimension on Row and i only want to convert it to dense in order to enhance performance. The motivation behind this change is that i piratically experiment that the business rules that take more then 20mins to executes just execute in less than a minute when i convert the other 2 custom dimensions from sparse to dense.
    2) I am not using Period Dimension in my application, because my need are fulfiled by year dimension only, so is there any way to delete it or neglect it while processing business rules?

    Hello,
    Your question gets into some advanced design topics fairly quickly and you may want to engage an experienced consultant to help you.
    It sounds like your application is past the design stage and you are making what are design level changes which is a likely risk to your project delivery time frames.
    Regarding the conversion of the dimension from sparse to dense -- there is no way to tag a dense dimension as an attribute.
    Review Chapter 10 of the Database Admin Guide at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?dattrib.html#dattrib524566
    Pay special attention to the "Understanding the Rules for Base and Attribute Dimensions and Members".
    In addition to loosing the attribute dimension please be aware of the implication to block size. Switching a sparse to a dense has a multiplicative effect on your block size; you should make all upper level members dynamic calc and then the number of level 0 members time your old block size will be your new block size.
    On the topic of your period dimension you may want to try renaming it and using it for one of your other dimension needs if you do not require month level data.
    On the topic of calculation speed you can usually make re-write your calculations to make them dense. In your instance it may be a good idea to make your years dense to use that to facilitate creating dense calculations.
    Good luck,

  • How to customise the Period dimension in Hyperion planning

    Hi Guru's
    We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2
    We have an requirement to customise the period dimension as follows,
       -Period
         -HalfYear1
           -Q1
           -Q2
         -HalfYear2
           -Q3
           -Q4
    How to add HalfYear in the period Dimension..Please help me with this..
    Thanks

    While creating application what did you choose to have for Period Dimension , is it Periods by default or you did go for custom ?
    Also check hp_admin guide page 104
    Period Dimension Properties
    Period, Parent, Alias: Default, Alias: T1, Data Storage, Two Pass
    Calculation, Description, Formula, UDA, Smart List, Data Type,
    Operation, Type, Start Period, End Period, Aggregation (Plan1),
    Aggregation (Plan2), Aggregation (Plan3)
    Notes:
    . For Period, Parent should be specified for most update operations.
    . Type (such as Base or Rollup) cannot be changed for existing members. You can add and
    update Rollup and Alternate members. You can update BegBalance and Base time periods
    (for example, to add an alias). You cannot add or modify YearTotal time period. The DTS
    Period type is recognized, but is not supported by the Outline Load utility. If you try to load
    DTS information, the utility displays an error in the log file.
    . Start Period and End Period are valid for Rollup Period types.

  • Period dimension error in EPMA

    Hi,
    We recently imported the ads file using "replace" option in the import profile and we get the below error when we try to deploy the planning application. Tried to reassign the Begbalance member. But still not resolving the problem.
    Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'BegBalance' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed.
    Error : Period dimension 'Period' contains a Base Time Period member 'BegBalance' that has been added since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be added once the dimension is deployed.
    Regards,

    Hello Mady,
    We are using EPMA applications and Classic applications; unfortunately we haven't taken any backup's of these applications.
    I heard from some one that by performing EPMA re-configuration there is a chance of loosing the applications. Only Classic applications can be restored.
    Please let me know if my understanding is wrong and kindly suggest the next steps to restore the applications.
    Currently we are able to login only to Shared Services only; we can login to Workspace/planning but unable to access the applications.
    Thanks for your help in advance!

  • Sorting Attribute dimension members

    Other then reloading attribute dimension members in a different order. Is there a possbility with ODI or the SortMember.cmd utility to perform such a task?
    I ask since I know presently while reloading the attribute dimension with ODI it drops the latest member to the bottom. This is not the order I need it in. I tried to mess with the load in ODI and still no fix. I tried to use the SortMember and it only appears to work on all dimension but currency, period, and years as it reads in the planning admin guide. This is for 11.1.2.1.
    Does anybody have any input? If so please reply.
    Thanks,
    DjSmeadly

    It is one area that has never been addressed so sorting attribute members is not so easy, as far as I aware the sortmember utility does not work on attribute dimensions.

  • Editing the period dimension - removing quarters

    Hi,
    By default the Period dimension is composed by 19 stored members (12 months, 4 quarters, YearTotal, BegBalance and Period itself). Is it possible to delete the quarters so the block size of my application will become smaller and only have the YearTotal > Months hierarchy?
    Thank you
    Edited by: Icebergue on 4/Ago/2011 6:33
    Edited by: Icebergue on 4/Ago/2011 6:33

    you can create custom type period dim and create 12 Members under it. YOu cant modify an existing application but you can create a new application with custom period dim.
    but still you will have begBalance and YearTotal.
    BTW anytime you can change the storage property of Quarters to Dynamic Calc.
    Cheers..!!!

  • 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)
