Planning Forms and Folders

Can a planning form be in more than one folder? Or does planning have you make copies and save them into separate folders. So when a change is required it will need to be done to all copies of the form?

There can only be one copy with the same name, the only way would be to save the form as another name and then move it.

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

Can a member be READ-ONLY in a row of some Planning forms?

Hi,
Can a member be READ-ONLY in a row of some Planning forms?
For example, I have a member called Salary as a row in a Form that is used to maintain employees. We allow Planners to update Salary in "Employee Detail" form.
However, in another form , we roll up Salary to "ALL EMPLOYEES IN DEPT" member and we do not want users to update that as it is added up by a calc script.
What is the best way to restrict users from updating in this 2nd form but allow update to Salary in first form.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use Asymmetric Rows and set the member you want to be read only, for more information on how to create them on forms have a read of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/ch06s03s14.html

Bug while deleting values in form and it's parent member is dynamic calc

Hi,
I'm having a problem that seems to be a bug. I am trying to delete the values of member A11 in the following hierarchy, in a Planning Form:
A (Dynamic Calc)
|_A1 (Dynamic Calc)
|__A11 (Store)
|_A2(Dynamic Calc)
!_A21 (Store)
However when I save the form that has IDescendants(A) in rows, values aren't deleted and it's replaced with the value in A1. I'm not sure whats going on but if I place Ilvl0Descendants(A) in form, it works without problems.
Anyone had this problem before? Thank you

Individual, Creative cloud, single app, Adobe Acrobat Pro X1, Forms and Responses allowed

Dear forum,
Firstly many apologies if this is a stupid question or if it has been answered before, but I'm very new to using FormsCentral only in the past few days.
I purchased an Individual Creative cloud, single app plan at £17.58 per month for only Adobe Acrobat Pro X1, I am able it seems allowed to create forms etc, however are there any responses per form limit for my subscription? when looking at the features for the Adobe Acrobat Pro X1 product it only says FormsCentral is included and does not suggest any limitations. However, I've seen other comments which suggest needing to upgrade, but I have not seen any messages asking me to. I would prefer to know the limitations now rather than doing an important project form and then suddenly see messages appear once 50, or so responses have arrived ?
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
kind regards
kevin

Hi,
You get a free subscription with FormsCentral with Acrobat Pro XI. You will only be able to create one form and collect 50 responses. To get more functionality, you'll need to upgrade to basic or plus plan. Please check out Pricing options - Free, Basic, and Plus options | Adobe FormsCentral.
Thanks,

Display Popup or Dialog Message window when opening planning form?

Is there a way to setup a planning web form to display a dialog box or message when the user opens a planning web form or expands a folder in planning? Or, is there a way to change the background color on a web planning form (input is yellow and would like to change it to some other color (light orange))? We are currently using Hyperion v9.3.0.1 on Unix Solaris. I tried attaching a Biz rule with runtime variables but the form errors with message indicating can not have run time variables on the form load option when opening a form.

Hi,
You can use custom javascript to add an alert message in a web form, you will need to read up on using custom javascript in planning, have a read here
As for the colors used in web forms you can customize the css being used, have a read here
Ok?

Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online vs SharePoint On-Premise

Hi Expert,
I have the question about Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online vs ShrePoint On-Premise
Current Problem : Customer is implemented Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online but they have a problem some features that didn’t work in SharePoint Online. I will have a meeting to discuss Do and Don’t Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online compare SharePoint
On-Premise.
Please suggestion.
Thank you

Hi MasterBird,
For SharePoint 2013 On-premise, we can :
Comlete control of our environment and data
Supports heavy customization
Keep sensitive information in-house
Easier integration into line of business systems
Full development options for developers
For SharePoint Online workflow:
Workflow 2010 & 2013 are available with Standard and Enterprise Editions without having to install
If using Windows Azure workflow functionality is the same as 2013
Cannot create custom Visual Studio workflows
For InfoPath Form Services you will need Office 365 Enterprise Could Edition or SharePoint Online Plan 2

Copy & Paste data into Planning form in Workspace 11.1.2.2

Hi there!
I'm dealing with a weird problem with Planning 11.1.2.2 over workspace. I cannot paste copied data into data forms (whether I copy from an Excel sheet, a file, or another cell of the same form).
However, when I access Planning directly through :8300/HyperionPlanning/LogOn.jsp (old-styled Planning), pasting data works fine.
I tried using Ctrl + V and menu buttons, and didn't work.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Not sure which web browser you were working on, but this is from the 11.1.2.2 Known issues for Planning
12360405 -- With Firefox, you cannot copy and paste data from Microsoft Excel into a Planning form.
Hope this helps..!!

Planning form not opening at Smart View through Workspace

Hi Gurus,
        I have an 11.1.2.3 environment and I'm trying to open up a Planning form inside Workspace using the following steps : File --> Open in SmartView.
        Right after Excel shows up I've got the following error message :
   "The form /Forms/00 - Income Taxes/MPP1001.00 - Exchange rate is invalid. Verify the log to obtain more details."
       However, I've got to open up this same form directly into SmartView without error.
      Did someone have this issue before ? Do I have to apply some SmartView Patch ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi,
     My SmartView version is 11.1.2.3.300 (build 157)
Thanks

Input data into dynamic calc in Planning forms

Hi guys,
Have someone tried to combine these two requirements:
1. to have upper level members dynamic calc
2. to give users the ability to input data into those upper level members through Planning forms.
I need to do that in order to pass inputted values into HBR, and allocate those values to the leaf level across multiple dimensions. I need those members dynamic calc because otherwise I would need to aggregate data across 7 dimensions and that takes too long. Those allocations are suposed to happen constantly and are the main purpose of application.
I know you can have dummy stored members that correspond the uper level dynamic members, but then the user will have input forms without current data and will be required to check reports/forms with dynamic calc members prior to updating data.
I wonder if it is a realistic task to change jsp files that generate those forms, so that data can be inputed into the form, but instead of passing it to Essbase cube to send it to relational database.
P.S.
This is related to the thread I opened about optimizing recalculation time:
Recalculatiion takes much longer than initial calculation
I received a lot of valuable advices that would definitely work in other situations, but in my case they seem to contradict either user concurrent access or performance requirements.
Thanks a lot!
Dmitry

Hi Glenn,
I think i found a workaround for this, or may be i am missing something. I will replicate my hierarchies so that one hierarchy will have uper level stored members, and another dynamic calc. Once user loads the form it will run on-load script that will copy data from corresponding dynamic calc to stored slice. The updated data will be alocated to the leaf level, but will never be aggregated. Since reporting is done from ASO cube i only care about the leaf level and current selection in the form.
Thanks!

URL Problem Oracle 10g Forms and Reports

Hello Room,
As this question is related to forms and reports both, I have posted it here. I have a system which needs to be deployed in Local Lan Network and also the same Local Lan user should be able to access the same application via internet. In Addition there are also suppliers, customers who dosen't have oracle installed but will be accessing forms and reports via the url through internet which will be a natted url to our public IP. I have loaded Oracle 11g on windows 7 and all my network clients are on windows 7. I have not loaded forms and reports 10g on server, but only database 11g is installed on server. My problem is listed in points below:-
1. Do I need to install forms and reports on server to achieve the above scenario ? or the local network installation of forms and reports on all client PC's will do ?
2. To start OC4J instance, shall i start it only on server through batch file while booting server, or it needs to be started on all client PC's to start work from client end ?
3. When i run forms from my client PC I get local url http://127.0.0.1/ to reach forms servlet which end up in http://localpc/.... from cookie redirect, whether this needs to be http://server/...... on all client PC's to reach the forms servlet ?
4. If I have to start url http://server/ instead of http://127.0.0.1/... automatically while running every form to reach forms servlet, how to achieve this ?
5. There are reports to be run from forms and parameters needs to be passed in reports from forms 10g. So in web.show_document shall i refer to absolute url for local acccess or http://server url as the same user can go to internet to access the data. ?
6. if I load forms and reports 10g on server, do I need to install forms and reports on client end seperately to gain access in local network ?
7. My forms and reports folders are located on server which are shared for access.
8. What will be the scenario in case of suppliers and customers who does not have anything installed on their PC and will access forms and reports through internet ?
I want to minimize my work. Please suggest me how to proceed about accessing forms, passing url from forms to reports in web.show_document, and Internet access url ?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have tried to explain you in decent way several times that I am not lazy and there are reasons that I do not want to read pdf, because I have already read that all ! In the future please do not respond to my thread. I am not asking for your personal time. If you do not understand my efforts. Just ignore it. I have read all the white papers of Oracle and give me your email id, I will send you all the code which I have read or downloaded. You should know that the knowledge diminish as the technology change. And that does not mean every user in the forum is stupid and as wise as you are. I repeat to state that I have 15 years of experience in Oracle forms 6i._ including Oracle 7,8,9i. This is the first time I am ever visiting oracle forums since past several years. I was the first person to use oracle 7 in my city where people were not knowing what oracle is. At that time I was knowing that the password for scott is tiger which even the reputed institutes in my city was not knowing. at that time I was also knowing that one of the person from oracle made a mistake in indexing the rowid. I think this should be enough to you for now.

Php form and mail handling

I am trying to create a php form and I can get it to spit out the information from the form but I cannot seem to get it to send the result as an email.
This is probably something really simple and I am totally missing it.
Here is the form:

You can see where I am trying to go with this. I want to use the $need variable to determine where the email is going to go (two people in each case). But I am testing this script and cannot get to send me an email without any if statements.
Where have I gone wrong?

Creating a simple web page is easy, giving many beginners the

Yep, sounds simple enough, but so is turning the ignition key

What you're ignoring is the underlying technology that not
only makes it

for you
straight out of the box. To build it successfully in
Dreamweaver
requires a knowledge of PHP, MySQL, and SQL.

What you enter in the Action field is the path to the script
that
processes the form input. If you're willing to learn the
basics of PHP,
MySQL, and SQL, you can create a comment form on your site
with
Dreamweaver. However, you need to be aware of security
issues, such as
cross-site scripting and dealing with spam. What looks simple
at first
glance is actually more complex. It's not rocket science, but
it does
involve a learning curve.

How do you extract SQL from Oracle Forms and Reports files?

I am developing an "as is" data model for a government client for a 14 year old system that has three databases, 20 schemas, over 1500 tables, and over 23,000 columns. Needless to say, I do not plan to perform a manual mapping of data to screens and reports.
Most of the system has been developed in Oracle Forms and Reports. I am trying to map the live tables and columns to forms and reports.
The process here has been to save the forms and reports files as .fmb and .rdf files. The client does not have an available copy of Oracle Designer, which I understand could be used to extract the SQL.
Is there a utility somewhere that can parse the .fmb and .rdf files to extract the SQL?
Thanks,
Jim Gearing

Jim,
I don't know of any utility that will do this. You can convert and save each fmb as a fmt so you can view/search the contents , but I don't recommend that approach.
On the other hand, you download a copy of Oracle Designer:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
It usually is included with Oracle Forms and Reports.

Web Forms and Security

I am trying to automate the web form create filter task (in Hyperion planning). As I understand it there is no command line tool like Essbase does with Import.cmd command to load security filters. It is to taxing on the system to go to create a filter and click on the 100 user’s checkboxes at one time. Yes, I know I can group the users to make things easier, but having individual users and groups is the way they do business in this case.
I have done a few webpages in the past, and I was wondering if I could just read the source of the create filter form and get the ID’s of the users and submit it to the /serverlet/HSPxxxxx through an automated script. But, then I wondered how force the security of the submitting user to the serverlet to a known admin username and password.
Please help.
Thanks
Ed

Thanks for advice.
Let me clarify what happened.
v. 9.3.1
1) I added two groups to write access to a dimension from the Hyperion Planning Web Front End (Workspace).
2) From the web front end went ahead and refreshed the security filters to reflect the changes into Essbase.
I can only do step 2 five users at a time to avoid the server to crash. Is there any way to automate the refresh of the security filters in Essbase.
I have been told you want to use the Planning Web Front end and to push those changes to the Essbase Cube.
Please advise.
Thanks

Hyperion Planning form timeout via Open Form under SV Data Source Manager

Power User can't open one particular big Planning form in Excel. Takes about 30 secs and gets net retry intverval timeout error. The same user can ad-hoc (one menu option up in the SV Data Source Manager) the form in question and can open the other (smaller) forms sucessfully. Logged into the users machine I can open the form in question. Logged into my machine the user can open the form in question.
Already increased the timeouts in user's browser to 2 mins and reinstalled his smartview client.
Seems like if I can do it on his machine - not his machine
AND if he can do it on my machine - not his rights/provisioning
AND if he can get at the same data one menu option up still using smartview - again not his rights or an error in his smartview
Totally stumped.

Hmmm
We had some timeout issues in Smart View in the initial stages of our deployment (although running 11.1.2.1), which sound similar to those you are experiencing.
Adding the following reg settings to client machines sorted the issues for us, it cant hurt trying these with your user if not applied already.
Path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings
Three ‘DWORD Values’ to add:
•     KeepAliveTimeout
•     ServerInfoTimeout
•     ReceiveTimeout
Value for each as 900000, with a Base setting of ‘Decimal’.
