Problem on deletting members in BPC dimension

Hi everybody,
How is the right way to delete a member dimension?
I've followed these steps:
- i've done a lite optimize
- I've cleared all data belonging to this member using the Clear package
- I've deleted the member in Excel using BPC Admin
- I've processed the dimension
During the dimension processing, a warning appears: the member is being used, but it has no data and it's not been used in any formula member!!
What's happening?
Any idea out there?
Thanks in advance,
Albert Mas

Hi everybody,
I need to use something that works directly on BPC Admin or BPC Excel.
I've read that it's possible to create a package that runs the same process chain that BPC Admin uses, when it runs 'Lite/Full Optimization'. I would have to include a new line:
TASK(/CPMB/LIGHT_COMPRESS,ZERO_ELIMINATION_ON,X) for the Lite optimization package
TASK(/CPMB/FULL_COMPRESS,ZERO_ELIMINATION_ON,X) for the Full optimization package
and after executing this package, it would make a zero elimination on the BPC cube.
Does somebody know the code that I have to write at the Data Manager Package script?
Does somebody know if this SAP BPC 7.0 behaviour will be the same at SAP BPC 7.5 version?
Thanks in advance,
Albert Mas

How to delete the members in one dimension use the maxl script

i have question that i want to delete the members in one dimension useing the maxl script, but i do not know how to do it. can the maxl delete the members in one dimension? if can, please provide an sample script, thank you so mcuh.

MaxL does not have commands to alter an outline directly, except the reset command which can delete all dimensions but not members selectively. The best you could do would be to run a rules file (import dimensions) using a file that contains the members you want to keepload rule for the dimension. As typical the warning is to test this first before you do it on a production database

Activating audit for Dimension Members in BPC 7.5 NW

Hi,
Is it possible to activate dimension member audit in BPC 7.5 NW. Meaning, can we trace changes to master data (dimension members) in BPC 7.5 NW?
Best regard
SSC

Hi,
The Activity Auditing tracks Administrative and User tasks at the Appset level.
This will be controlled by the Administrators to check whether activity auditing is enabled or not.
To enable this future go to -> Administration for the Web, choose Manage Activity Audit -> then choose one or both types of activities to audit.
Please check the help file for the same.

Integration BPC-BW: BPC Dimensions = CHAR 20

Hi,
When creating BPC dimensions, by default they are created as CHAR 20 info objects. This could give problems when loading from a BPC cube to a BW cube having info-objects with less number of characters ...
- I presume this cannot be changed (but confirmation is always nice to know)
- Did anyone already came accross this problem and how did you solve it
- Is there a way to insert a validation in BPC that the length of an ID of a dimension member should not exceed a certain length when creating these members manually in BPC ...
I know the situation above will be rather be exceptional, but we have a case where we faced this issue ... Anyone has a best practise for this
D

Hi Dries,
Oddly enough we came across the same issue yesteday when loading WBS elements from the regular Info Object into a BPC dim. To prevent issues on the front-end we normally add pre-fixes to Dim Members to ensure all members are unique e.g. WBS_ for WBS elements. Unfortunately the WBS elements can be up-to 18 characters long in our ECC system.
Unfortuantely I don't have a solution in this case which makes this response pretty useless, we took the risk that no WBS Elements would ever be identical to other Dim Members in the same Application i.e. removed the pre-fix. Push comes to shove we could have used W_ or W, but if a longer WBS comes along we'd be stuffed.
Our BW developer was wondering whether we could manually change the 20 character limit without impacting any functionality elsewhere. Has anyone tried this?
Cheers

Deleting comments for multiple dimension member selection

Hi all,
When using the package (using /CPMB/CLEAR) to delete data and comments (TASK(/CPMB/CLEAR_COMMENTS_FOR_CLEAR,ENABLETASK,1)), there seems to be a problem to delete comments when using a multiple member selection. When selecting <all> or a single dimension member for a given dimension, data and comments are effectively deleted. However, when selecting eg 2 members, the data is deleted, but the comments remain in the comment tables. Any ideas on how to solve this, without running the package x-times when comments on x members need to be deleted?
Kind Regards,
Christophe

Hi,
I don't know whether your question is answered or not . Please look into the following which may be helpful to you.
As far as i know u can
1. Delete Comments selecting " ALL" member selection.
2. Delete comment selecting " SINGLE MEMBER " --> _Multiple member selection is not supported in NW._
Please look into the following SAP Note on this which may be useful to convince the client:

Limit on deleting members from workspace

Hello,
I wanted to know if there is a limit on how many members that can be deleted at once from a dimension in a classic planning application. I know that there is a parameter in the outline load utility that would delete the entire dimension and would load the members from scratch from the metadata file you specify. But is there was a better way of deleting the required members apart from using the outline load utility parameter and deleting from the workspace?
We are trying to cleanup our metadata and also trying to delete some members from a dimension but it looks like it is taking ~ 40 mins for deleting ~ 3000 records. Does this sound reasonable?
Also, I am seeing some strange and unexpected behavior while performing these operations. When I am selecting a parent member (that has ~ 3000 child members) and hitting delete, it would show like it's doing something in the status bar on the browser but after a while it would disappear and the page doesnt refresh. It is neither showing the success message nor is it showing any error which is confusing as it's not telling me if it did the delete or if it didn't do the delete. So, when this happened I went and checked the dimension and the parent level member was still in there without getting deleted. Then I tried deleting a different parent member and then encountered an error after a while saying -
An error occured while processing the page. Please check the logs for details.* (Can someone please let me know what's the name of the log file that I need to look and where?)
Another time it threw an error -
You are trying to change data that has been changed by a user on another server. Wait a few seconds and try again. If you continue to see this error message please contact your administrator.*
So basically I am seeing all sorts of different things happening and the deletion process is not going smoothly.
Please share your thoughts on this.
Thanks.
~ Adella

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
<epm drive>:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers\Planning0\logs\Planning0.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)

How to remove the default members of a dimension from the control table?

Hi all,
I am new to hyperion FDM 11.1.1.2.0.0 .
When I navigate to Metadata>Control Tables and try to delete the default memmbers
for the dimension like category and period i got the following error.
Error: Period( 8/31/2009 ) is an active Global or Local Period and cannot be deleted.
Then again i unchecked active checkbox for that dimension from Hyperion Essbase Integration Setup of Workbench Client.
After doing that i got the following error
Error: Unable to retrieve target System Data.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the default members of a dimension from the control table?
Thanks

Create a new record for the table.
Go change the POV to the new record.
Return to the control table and delete the default record.

Problems to delete big *.tif files

I have problems to delete big *.tif filese.
At first Windows delete it, but if i pressed F5 then the files are not deleted. I have tryed to delete it with and without Shift + Del its always the same.
When i delete this file many times then it would be deleted.
A other Problem with this big files is that windows open a dialogbox and calculate the time that needed to delete the tif file.
But i can wait 2 hours and more, nothing is done by windows. In the dialogbox dosn`t change anything.
Have anyone an Idea?
Thank you in advanced.
Daniel

Hi,
Does it happen to other files, just *.tif files? Generally speaking, When deleting a folder, the calculation time depends on not only the
file size but the file numbers of the folder. So you can delete sub-folders separately.
Also, you can try to use a popular methods to fix the issue. Here is the steps:
1. Right click on the file.
   2. Click Properties
   3. Click
Advanced
   4. Under File Attributes uncheck
Allow this file to have contents indexed in addition to file.
Also, you can take the following steps to fix this issue:
Step 1:
You may try creating a new user profile to see if the same problem occurs. If not then it could be a corruption/permissions problem
of the old user profile.
To create a new user account
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Create-a-user-account
Step 2:
If the new user account works fine then the previous account was corrupt, you may follow the link given below to fix the corrupt
user profile.
Fix a corrupted user profile
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
In addition, the issue can be related to third-party components, especially file system filter drivers, such as anti-virus drivers. In this situation,
I suggest you can delete the files on Safe Mode. If on Safe Mode It works fine, you could perform
clean boot to check the result.
Hope it helps.

When a selected row is deleted the model is also deleting the data but the table(view) is not refreshed.
Actually i'm selecting a cell of a row, then hitting the delete button.
So the model is deleting the information, but i'm not able to c the fresh data in table( especially when the last cell of last row is selectd and hit the delete button, i am getting lots of exception)

Hi,
I've got the solution for it. As when the cursor is in cell of
a row and hit the delete button, the data in that cell is not saved,
So i'm trying to save the data first into the model then firing the action event by doing this ..
jButton2.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent){
// If a button press is the trigger to leave a JTable cell and save the data in model
if(jTable1.isEditing() ){
String text=((javax.swing.text.JTextComponent)jTable1.getEditorComponent()).getText();
jTable1.setValueAt(text,jTable1.getSelectedRow(),jTable1.getSelectedColumn()) ;
jTable1.getCellEditor().cancelCellEditing();
// HERE DO THE DELETE ROW OPERATION

BPC Dimension Hierarchy

Dear all
is there any dimension in BPC where we cannot maintain hierarchy?
thanks
Prasad

Yes!
The general rule is simple - if you don't have reason to aggregate base members of some dimension (like values in different currencies) then you don't need hierarchy for this dimension!

Duplicate Members From Same Dimension On Data Record

Hi guys, been a while but I'm back into problem land again. I got a SQL Server database with a load of records in it, some are NULL, and I use them to build a rules file called CGI_BUILD. When I run the rules file on the outline it builds fine with no errors but when it does the second part of loading the data, it kicks out an error file. The error that repeats over and over in the log is "\\ Duplicate Members From Same Dimension On Data Record". This seems to be the case for every record in the load file except for the second record. The only difference with that record is it has N/A for some of the columns instead of the regular "Retail" or "Finance" or whatever the other fields are.
I realize you have limited information here without screenshots but maybe you can help me get started on a solution. In my searching I found that some people have had this happen when the first record has an empty column in it but I can't rearrange them because there's a few columns that are empty for every record. They're there for add-ons later in the project. Any ideas?

To my outline, via SQL load, I added a new attribute dimension called Retail Region/Area:
-Retail Region/Area
--West Region : Region Manager
---Area1 : Area Manager
---Area2 : Area Manager
---Area3 : Area Manager
--East Region : Region Manager
--Factory Region : Region Manager
---Area1 : Area Manager
---Area2 : Area Manager
--Central Region : Region Manager
As you can see, it's split up into regions which have a region manager. And each region has a pile of areas which each have an area manager. The relationship for each region/area to its respective manager is 1:1.
To my rules file I added 3 new columns:
GEN1,Retail Region/Area (data = "Retail Region/Area")
GEN2,Retail Region/Area (data = Region Name : Region Manager)
GEN3,Retail Region/Area (data = Area Name : Area Manager)
I've ignored the data load and dimension build on the first 2 columns, but the third one, the lowest level, is the one data is being loaded into, among many other dimensions. The only weird thing I noticed is the last column (GEN3,Retail Region/Area) doesn't have a Field Name under the Data Load Properties. It's just blank.....but I don't think that would matter.
Now to answer your questions.....multiple columns that have members from the same dimension........it doesn't look like that's the case with the three columns I added. Am I missing it? And the rows I should be looking at......are you referring to the SQL database or the data prep editor in Essbase after loading the SQL file? I'm not converting NULL to anything that I know of. If it was preset before starting the project it's likely the same for every dimension. And as far as transformations, I'm not familiar with that so that would be a no.

ODI KM for Deleting members in Hyperion Finance

I am trying to write Knowledge Module in ODI for deleting members in Hyperion Finance. But not finding any API method for delete and no documentation on that. Please share if someone have sample about delete on hyperion finance.
Thanks

It is possible using the standard IKM SQL to Hyperion Planning.
I did it using an Update to the Planning Metadata Dimension and passing a value to the Operation column.
I got the following information regarding the Operation column from the HAL documentation.
Operation—takes any of the following values:
<ul><li>Update - adds, updates, or moves the member being loaded
</li>
<li>Delete Level 0 - deletes the member being loaded if it has no children
</li>
<li>Delete Idescendants - deletes the member being loaded and all of its descendants
</li>
<li>Delete Descendants - deletes the descendants of the member being loaded, but does not delete the member itself</li>
</ul>
The default is Update.
Note: If you delete a member, that member, its data, and any associated planning units are permanently removed and cannot be restored.
Good Luck, hope this is helpful

How to use two members from same dimension in Dimension Layout, for HFR

I am developing a report using Hyperion Financial Reporting. I have taken two dimensions in rows and remaining dimensions in column. After completing one section, I need to make new section of the report on the same grid and page with just adding one more member of the second row dimension. That is data should be the summation of two members of the dimension, say "ACCOUNT".
Kindly guide me the steps. Also i would like you to know that i am begineer with Hyperion Financial Reporting.
Thanks
Roshan

Can you give some explanation of your gird layout and what you are trying to achieve?
Like Account and Scenario in row
Year, Market in columns
Product in Page

How to extract data for particular two members of same dimension.

As per the requirement i need to export data for certain members of a dimension. Lets say we need data for two account members A and B which is in in Account dimension only but is not a direct children. I need the data for all the available years too. Please suggest me how my DATAEXPORT command should look like.
When i am using an AND statement it is not working accordingly. Say i am fixing for years 2007 and 2009 but the output file is coming for 2009 and 2010.
Something other is happening when i am fixing OPEX_31 and OPEX_32. The values are coming not only for OPEX_31 and OPEX_32 but for many more accounts too.
Here is my dataexport statement for your reference
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
DataExportLevel "ALL";
DataExportColFormat ON;
DataExportDimHeader ON;
DataExportOverwriteFile ON;
FIX("LC","Total_Year","ESB1","2009","SIERRA","COSTCENTER_NA","CELLULAR_NA","OPEX_31",
"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
DATAEXPORT "File" " " "D:\exports\feb.txt";
ENDFIX;
I need data for OPEX_31 and OPEX_32 for all the available years starting from 2001 to 2025.
Please suggest what are the modification needed to get the desired result.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
There a few different options you can use for fixing on the months, years..
e.g. FIX(January:December)
or FIX(@CHILDREN(YearTotal)) < depends what the parent of the months is
sames goes for years
FIX(2009:2025)
or
FIX(@CHILDREN(Year)
If your period dimension is dense you can always use that as the column header e.g. DataExportColHeader "Period" and then fix on the accounts you require.
Cheers
