Process mgmt on Shared members

Hi All,
Since our Base entity hieararchy did not setup to meet the Budget flow process, we are thinking of adding an alternative hieararchy that reflects the budget flow in the organization. But when i setup the alternative hieararchy and tries to setup process mgmt on these shared members they are not visible in Process mgmt.. it seems i need to create a dummy member (for each of the shared member) and then use it to setup workflow process.. any other ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Praveen

This is a planning forum, are you now saying your question only relates to essbase?
If is planning related and you want more depth with access permissions you will have a look at expanding the filters, with planning the filters get recreated if they are selected durining a planning refresh, this would mean you need an extra process after a refresh to build in the extra filter functionality.
Cheers

  • Shared members and consolidation processes

    Hi guys,
    I'm working giving support to a HFM application and I need some advice, since I'm a little confused. I have 4 different chart of entities:
    1) ComConsol
    2) Legal
    3) BGroups
    4) Alternate
    I was trying to lock the data of ComConsol in a grid when I realized that the status was CN. I run the consolidation and the status changed to OK. However, Legal, BGroups and Alternate changed their status to CN. When I run the consolidation for Legal, then ComConsol needs to be consolidated again.
    I believe that it could be related to some shared members, but I'm not quite sure.
    Any advice?
    Thank you, guys.

    Hi,
    If u can run the consolidation @ primary hierarchy first and then go for the consolidation of rest of the hierarchies so that u can't see any consolidation changes in primary hierarch after running the consolidation @ alternative hierarchies.

  • Shared members issue

    Hi to all,
    I've a Problem with the shared members in a excel spreadsheet. I need to see all members in a specific dimension (shared members included). using members selection dialog box, i'm using the view method "by generation name" and the output option Supress shared members (cleared) but the shared members are filtered in the results. Using by level name is the same result.
    could you help me?
    I'm usign essbase 9.0 and add in vs 9.0
    Thanks in advance

    Certainly sounds odd... did you check the preview to see if they show up there?
    I'm just thinking it might be a post processing issue, because I haven't heard of this being an issue before so if it is there may be some option setting that is tripping it up.
    Let us know if they show up in the preview -- and if you have a suitable way to test other outlines or dimensions with similar circumstances it might help to check the preview on them as well.

  • EPMA interface load for shared members

    Hi,
    Iam trying to load metadata to EPMA shared library through interface tables. was able to load everything except the shared members. I checked with IsPrimary value and set it to N/0 values also kept datastorage type to shareData. But still not getting updated. Import result gives the follwoing warning.
    "The import section 'Hierarchies' contains multiple primary instances of member '698035' in dimension 'Account_Shared'. Only the first instance will be processed"
    Please help me out.
    thanks,

    am still not able to sort out the above problem. can some one please help me to load shared members to EPMA shared library ?

  • Load Bulk shared members in EPMA

    Hi,
    We need to develop the process to be able to load members in bulk, thus manual addition will not help. I specifically want to (1) load exisitng dimension members where the parent has changed, and ensure these members are MOVED and not duplicated as shared, and (2) load shared members.
    Any guidance in this regard will be helpful.s ma

    Hi John
    I can't map the IsPrimary to any property in EPMA?
    I added the column in my flat file, but in my import profile I can't map it, so in the load it is giving 'The 'IsPrimary' column is not present in the import source for dimension 'Entity'. Creating all imported members as primary instances.'
    Is the property only applicable to the Account dimension? I'm trying to load the shared members in Entity dimension.

  • Restricting users on shared members

    Hi,
    We have an entity dimension structure with alternate hierarchy. Users are using excel add-in to view the reports where they can see both the base member as well as the shared member. How we can restrict users to view the shared members as it is confusing for them to view both members at the same time.
    Thanks.

  • DRM and Shared Members in Essbase & Planning

    Hi,
    Many years ago we implemented Razza and one of the difficulties we had was in handling shared members in Essbase and Planning applications. The workaround as I recall was to use a prefix in alternate hierarchies, and strip it out before exporting. But this did not allow for a single place to maintain a node. Is there a best practice for handling shared members in DRM?
    Thanks!

    DRM now supports shared members in the application. This application functionality used configurable suffixes. You can read about this in the DRM User Guide.
    This makes Essbase integration virtually seemless since Essbase will treat the first occurance of a member encountered during the dimension load process as the base member and any subsequent occurances of that member as shared members. Planning, however, requires shared members to be marked as such and thus depending on how the hierarchies are maintained in DRM and then exported, it is possible for the shared member to appear before the base member, which will cause Planning to raise an error. This can be accommodated with two pass loads and other techniques.
    Also note that this information could be dated as I haven't personally been on a project that fed hyperion Planning for a couple of years. Regards.

    hi John,
    Here i'm building the dimension through generation build method.
    setting the properties as
    Field, Dimension, Field Type, Field Number
    Field1,Product,Generation,2
    Field2,Product,property,2
    Field3,Product,Generation,3
    Field4,Product,Generation,4
    After mapping it shows dimensions are correctly mapped.
    When i load the source file and the rule file, it shows error partially loaded data,.And it doesn't shows the shared member property. That is what asked How to modify the source file for building shared members using Rules file.
    Thanks,

  • How to see Shared Members in Smart View on Ad-hoc Analysis mode

    Hi All,
    We are using Hyperion Planning v 11.1.1.3.
    For the alternate hierarchy we have created shared members. But in Smart View we are unable to see Shared members hierarchy in Ad-hoc analysis mode.
    Is this limitation in Hyperion Planning?
    Or
    Is there any way to see shared members Hierarchy in Smart View in Ad-hoc analysis mode?
    It is urgent requirement Please let me know as early as possible
    Thanks in Advance!!!

    When you say open data form in Ad-hoc mode, can you do that? I think when you select Ad-hoc mode, you are basically connecting to Essbase and therefore need to manually select the members. (of course, I've got a 11.1.2 env right now so not too sure of 11.1.1.3)
    I'm able to just go to Member Selection and select whatever hierarchy i want, Shared or Stored, when I'm connected to Essbase. When connecting to Planning, I dont have any option of opening the form as Ad-hoc mode.
    Can you see the hierarchy if selecting the members using Essbase connection and not planning?
    Cheers,
    Abhishek

  • Level building/shared members

    Can you generate shared members when level building your dimensions?

    I'm afraid I have to disagree with the previous 2 posters. You can build shared members when you use a level build method. I do it all the time. Assume your level zero member is in a primary and secondary rollup and that there are 3 parents in the firs rollup and 2 in the second, the format of the load rule would be:
    Lev0,Lev1,Lev2,Lev3,lev1,Lev2

  • Shared members and dynamic calc

    I am trying to replicate a new cube from current GL cube and wish to remove unused shared members if they have any impact on essbase.
    2/3 of my accounts (dense) member is stored with the remainder being shared members. Shared members do not add to block size. But having so many of them, does it impact on calc scripts or retrievals or any other impacts?
    Secondly, in accounts and divisions, we have four levels. except for level 0, the remaining levels are all dynamic calc. Division is sparse member. Its not advisable to have dynamic calc on dense dimension. What about sparse dimension like division? Will it be better to change level 2&3 to dynamic and change level 1 to store as well?
    We have also been advised by our consultant to change accounts to sparse dimension considering the number of times we need to update outline for new members (stored and shared).
    Dimension          Type          Stored     Shared
    Measure               Dense     1378     796     rest
    Time               Dense     106     13     rest
    Year               Dense     9     8     
    Currency          Sparse     12     9     
    Scenario          Sparse     41     38     
    Market               Sparse     20     12     
    Division          Sparse     490     302     rest
    Product               Sparse     635     308     
    Reportcode          Sparse     327     299

    Hi,
    Having shared members in dense hierarchy will not have much of impact on Cube size or retrieval performance.
    but its always advisable to avoid unnecessary hierarchies (shared or stored or dynamic).
    Having top level dense members as dynamic lines is a good design but having sparse dynamic calc will impact retrieval performance.
    its not at all advisable to make sparse members as dynamic calc but if needed we can make sparse members with very few children as dynamic calc (or dynamic calc & store). yet again its not advisable to have a dynamic calc children to a sparse stored parent as this will affect the batch calculation while aggregating parent sparse member.
    And as suggested by your consultant it is feasible to make the dimension getting modified more often, as a sparse dimension as this will reduce the restructuring time (sparse restructure will take less time compared to dens restructure).
    But that alone cannot be considered as factor as there are many other factors to be considered for making a dimension sparse.

  • Is there any API for Shared Members

    Hi All ,
    Can any one let me know whether there is any API function for Shared Members? I could not find anything from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_api/api_c/mac/tocmacfa.htm
    Please do help...Thanks in advance

    I am assuming you are on 9.2 as that is the link you posted, all the details you need are in the docs - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_api/topapilist.htm

  • Drill down on shared members.

    Hi ,
    I have some filters associated to geography hierarchy in my essbase cube.
    my geography heirarchy looks like this.
    geography
    |_base_members
    |_am
    |_Apac
    |_shared_members
    |_am (Alias: America) (shared members)
    |_ ..etc
    |_Apac (Alias: Asia pac) (shared members)
    now i have created filters giving meta read access on shared members in the above case on .users of america will only see america region.
    but when i drill down and drill up on the member in the report in web analysis, it gives me an unknown member error "am".
    i tried by giving same access to the base members but the report shows the base members.
    is there any other way to handle this error.
    thanks.

    Try deleting Non-Corporate Income before you drill into Total Revenue. Or turn off Retain selected member in your drill options. The problem is that if Essbase sees Non-Corporate Income, then it knows it is the alternate roll up and correctly does not drill on Total Revenue. Remove Non-Corporate Income and Total Revenue, just becomes plain old Total Revenue and you should be able to drill on that.

  • Building RULES file to load shared members in Aggregate storgage outline

    Hi there
    I posted this yesterday (sorry, somewhat different subject description). I am trying to create an alternate hierarchy containing shared members using a load rule and flat file in an Aggregate Storage outline. One response was to remove the "allow moves" option and use parent child build in the load rule. I tried that and it did not work. i was pointed to a section in the essbase guide (which is about as clear as mud), and still cannot get this to work. First of all - can you do this with an ASO outline? If so, how? I tried a simple 6 line flat file and recreated the load rule based on the above recommendations and it will not the shared members. Can someone out there help?
    thanks

    Here is an example in the simplest form.
    Create Aso db (duplicate members names not selected)
    Create Product dimension member, set to "Multiple Hieararchies Enabled", (though probably would work if dynamic)
    Create load rule, set as parent/child dimension build for product, make sure allow moves is not ticked.
    Data file
    Parent,Child
    100,100-20
    200,200-20
    Diet,100-20
    Assign field properties in rule for Parent.Child
    Load data, 100-20 will be created as shared.
    Cheers

  • Multiple hierarchies with shared members

    Hello,
    is it just a common practice to have unique parents for hierarchies built on the same Essbase dimension, or it is a system level restriction?
    Only in Hyperion Planning, or this is true also on Essbase level?
    Is it right that only the leaf nodes can be shared members?
    (automatic shared members are created on higher levels for parents with 1 child, so why other shared members not allowed?)
    Thank you for your answer!

    I'm not sure I follow your question completely, but for shared member rollups the lowest level of the shared rollup can be a level zero or higher member or another dimension. The requirement is that a shared member can not have descendants in the shared rollup, it would be the lowest level.
    For example If I have the following primary rollup
    Geography
    East
    NJ
    NY
    PA
    West
    Ca
    OR
    WA
    I could have an alternamte rollup like
    Bob's Total
    NY (Shared)
    West (Shared)
    You see thar NY is a level zero member and West is a level 1 member but under the alternate rollup the are both level zero members
