Planning dataforms

Hi I have one question if some end user wants to shorten the long list of dimension members in the drop-down list in the Page section can he use
Preferences>> Display Options tab all I knew about this option is one can initiate search option but one cannot shorten the number of members in the page
dimension? only administartor can shorten this page dimension? am I correct? or going wrong?

There are two good ways to filter members in the PAGE on a Planning input form:
1) Security.
2) User Variables.
Security ought to be pretty clear. User variables are more interesting - I'm using them on my current project and they work reallly well. You (the admin or developer) define a user variable. Users then set that variable in their Planning preferences. When you define your web input form, you reference the descendands of the variable in your PAGE. If the user accesses the form and they haven't set their variable, they get a message telling them to go set their variable. If they have set their variable, they get the form with the page filtered to the descendents of whatever they set the variable to.
Works like a charm.
Hope this helps,

    Depeding upon your version the log file location will vary.
    in 11.1.2.x version you can check the logs under
    <epm drive>:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\diagnostics\logs\services\HyS9Planning-sysout.log
    <epm drive>:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\diagnostics\logs\services\HyS9Planning-syserr.log

    you can also mention an operation with outline load to delete (update which will update the members, delete level 0, delete idescendants, delete descendants)

  • Task list in hyperion planning dataforms 11.1.2 version

    Hi,
    I created a task list using administrator account and assigned these task list to user1. I mention a due date and alerts also. Here user1 have appropriate roles to access the dataform and to finish the task also.
    Now the issue is, when user1 finished and put the status as completed. But in admin user, those tasks status is showing as Incomplete.
    How admin will get that updated status as completed in task list.
    Regards,
    Madhu

    Hi David Mendele,
    Thanks for the reply.
    ya as u said i looked into report. but there also am getting status as incomplete using admin user.
    First of all i will explain u clearly about this issue.
    using admin account i created two task lists and assigned these tasks to user1. for example salary account and salary details ok.
    Now i login as user1 and put those task lists status as completed ok.
    Then now i login as admin and checked out those Task lists. In this scenario, am not getting those task lists(*salary account* and salary details) status as completed.
    It is still showing that status as Incomplete only which is already finished by user1 ok.
    Now, how can i get those assigned task lists status as completed automatically using admin user.
    I hope u understand about the issue.
    Regards,
    Madhu

  • Best Practice for Hyperion Planning : Essbase or Dataform for Adhoc Analysi

    Hi,
    with Hyperion Planning, you are able to start an Adhoc Analysis from an Hyperion Planning Dataform or from an Essbase cube?
    What is the best way / pro / contra ? thanks in advance
    .... I 've juste notice that when you delete the dataform the Retrieve doesn't work anymore :-( .... and with Essbase you get some "un-useful" dimension as HSP_Value
    Regards
    xavier

    A couple of other things that go with Planning as the data source:
    1) You have access to all of the non-Essbase data -- think SmartLists, text (okay, it's there now in Essbase, but not from Planning applications) fields, supporting detail, etc. If you want users to see that relationally stored data, the only other way to get it in Excel is to run a Financial Reports report into Excel (or hack the tables and write SQL to pull the stuff -- did that pre 11x and it's too much work).
    2) There's a performance hit when going against Planning, just like there is when Planning is the data source in Financial Reports.
    Using a form to limit dimensionality - isn't that what SmartSlices are for? I guess it's another way to get to the same place. Although you have to administer the SmartSlices, I would imagine they would break less often than a form might. Having said that, once built, how often do you delete a form?
    It's really nice that ad-hoc analysis from forms are now possible, but I've always thought of it as nice feature to have alongside data entry, never as the primary path into Essbase analysis.
    Just my $0.02.

  • Planning Form: Suppress row based on condition

    Dear All,
    Is it possible to do this in hyperion planning. for example:
    - i have member A
    - in the data form, i want to show row only when member A have value equal to 1. other is suppressed.
    - in another form, i want to show only when A = 2, other is suppresed.
    did anybody have this experience, or is there any other way to do this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Feri

    Hi, i assumed as answered because in fact, the Planning dataform don't have that functionality, but in the new version (11.1.2.2) you might want to try the filter functionality.
    It was a long time ago, but if i'm not mistaken, previously i solve this problem by separating the member for each condition.
    example:
    member A: have all data
    (copy the data from member A to member B and C with condition)
    member B: contain data for condition 1
    member C: contain data for condition 2
    then you can select which condition that you need to show.

  • SmartView on Planning forms - Putting POV in cells

    Hello
    Is there any possibility to put actual POV values into Excel cells from the toolbar for SmartView sheets based on Planning dataforms? We need to keep POV values in sheet when copying SmartView report into another sheet (disconnected from Planning).
    Thanks in advance

    After connecting to Planning smartview connection check below thing in Smartview>Options
    1. In Formatting option Use Cell Styles is selected.
    2.In Cell styles option Planning and Common options are selected.
    If Cell Style option is not selected then you won't be able to see planning formatting.

  • ValidateData in DataForms

    We validate data of a Hyperion Planning DataForm via the java script "ValidateData.js". The validation works if the Data Form is opened in the workspace.
    How can I validate the data if the Data Form is opened in Excel with the SmartView for Office?
    How can I validate the data if the Data Form is taken offline?

    Hi,
    I think the validatedata.js can only be used if you are accessing a form through the web, if you want to do the equivalent in excel then you would probably need to start looking at incorporating VBA into the workbook.

  • Creation of Header and Sub headers in Hyperion data forms

    Hello all,
    I have a Hyperion Planning dataform with many account members in columns. I want to create header to differentiate each category of accounts.
    A-Type
    A001
    A002
    B-Type
    B001
    B002
    B003
    How can i do the header creation using XML code of the form extract.
    I need to colour the background of the account members corresponding to the grouping.
    Please revert for the query ASAP.

    Hi,
    About the header creation:-
    Howz about adding a formula row instead of using xml code?
    Like you can add a formula row and label it as A-Type.
    As it is formula row, it will be greyed out.
    Remember to validate the formula or else you might see "#error" in the rows.
    Also you can use label only members for the scenario.
    About the grouping by coding, it will try something by self and then can comment.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error While Opening dataform after creating Planning Unit Hierarchy

    Hi All,
    I created a Planning Application through classic wizard. Then i created a planning unit hierarchy, after which I am getting the following error: (when i try to open a dataform, from some user other than admin/owner)
    *"Security and/or filtering has resulted in a required dimension not being represented on this data form"*
    I know that this error occurs when some dimension members are represented on dataform but are not assigned with security rights. But thats not the problem in my case. Because I assign security rights to all members of all dimension just for the sake of testing. I later on identifed that this error occurs due to dimensions present in POV i.e. I need to select a single member of each POV dimensions, then in such case this error disappears.
    Now my question is that why i need to select a single member from each POV dimension? I general i leave POV dimensions as it is, while creating dataform
    Right now i aad a dummy member at the top of each dimension, e.g Account_UnSpecified, Entity_UnSpecified and so on . . . and then i select this member from each of POV dimension.

    Hi,
    You can try creating new Root folder and new workspace for your NWDS.
    1.  Create a new folder with name ' <userID>_NWDS_NEW_ROOT ' in your machine
    2. Create a new folder with name ' <userID>_NWDS_NEW_WORKSPACE ' in your machine
    3. Open NWDS (and logon to DTR)
    4. Remove all configurations from your Development Configuration perspective (except 'Local Development')
    5. Go to Window --> Preferences --> Java Development Infra --> Development Configurations
    6. Change 'Root Folder' to the folder created in step-1
    7. Close NWDS
    8. Create ' Run_NWDS.bat ' file in your NWDS installation folder which has 'SapIde.exe' file
    (it will be generally in --> C:\Program Files\SAP\IDE\IDE70\eclipse)
    9. Type following in .bat file -->
    SapIde.exe -data "<complete path to folder created in step-2>"
    10. Now double click on this .bat file to open NWDS
    Now logon to DTR, import configuration, create project from 'inactive DCs' and you should be able to create project and see it in respective perspective.

  • Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1.0 Dataform validation issue

    Hi All,
    Is there any way that if the validation fails the user should not be able to Save data in hyperion dataform.
    I have a scenario like this :
    I have budget in one row in dataform Flash in other and in the third I have a formula coloum Budget - Flash.The fourth coloum is Variance.
    I want a validation that if Budget - Flash = Variance the user should be able to save the data in the dataform
    and if Budget - Flash != Variance then the action of save button should be disabled.The user should not be able to save the data.
    Can this condtion be achieved using Data form validation
    Kindly Suggest want can be done...

  • When launching Bus rules from certain dataforms get Planning login prompt

    HI,
    I have a strange problem only on certain forms in my planning application.
    I find on some data forms when the user launches an associated business rule, after selecting the rule, and clicking launch, instead of the normal progress bar window appearing, in that popup window, and new planning login prompt appears with a message saying the session has timedout. If you close that window , you can continue using Planning as normal, but you just can't launch that rule from that particular form.
    The same Business rule, has been linked to another dataform, and actually runs normally there.
    Has anyone else also experienced this problem?
    Regards,. Imran

    turned out to be an internet explorer issue.Thanks.

  • Not able to see data in Hyperion Planning data forms.

    Hi ,
    I created Hyperion planning EPMA application and loaded data in to it. But I am unable to see data in my data forms? Please give me solution for this?

    Hi,
    Here there are 2 things, once your epma heirarchy is ready did you deploy it against your planning App ? and incase if you haven't deployed your planning application, then old outline would be existing in Essbase and if you load data for old outline it will still take into but when you deploy the database gets restructured and older data gets restructured/removed.
    Before going onto that level first check if your load data to essbase completed successfully. and did you load data for the combinations on dataform ? ? Try manually inputting a number through data form and submit and do a refresh to see if value comes up. ? Check your data form settings , if you have enables suppress missing rows/blocks.
    Thanks

  • Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

    Hi Everybody,
    if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
    So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
    I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
    Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
    Thank all guys
    Bye
    Maurizio

    Thanks EW for your answer,
    YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
    I have 500 account members.
    For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
    So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
    I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
    The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
    {Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
    Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
    "PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
    endfix
    So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
    Thank you Ew, thank you guys
