Prompt at run time

Hi,
is it possible a user open xcelsius file in PPT or PDF then it will ask for prompts values at run time in query as a web service connection..
My requirement is design xcelsius based on the query as web service and share xcelsius file in PPT with users. If i will put prompts in the query as a web service then next time when user open the file it will ask to choose values from the list and accordingly so the data at run time.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
We cannot get a prompt directly from QaaWS but we can make a prompt screen in the xcelsius itself.
Make a window with the help of a bacground component and add the combo box or other selector to pass information to QaaWS binded cell.
Then after selecting that value make the QaaWS trigger on that value.
And through Dynamic Visibility make the window appera when you load the dashboard.
Let me know if you need any help.
Better you send me your mail ID such that i can send you a sample one.

Creating dashboard prompts at run time.

We have a requirement of creating dashboard prompts at runtime. Our scenario is as follows:
We would like to create trend charts with multiple trend lines. We are planning to use the Line Graph view to achieve this. However, the number of trend lines and the columns of a table to be used as trend lines will be input at run time. As an example, users will be prompted to enter the number of trend lines they wish to plot in the chart. Depending on the input, we need to dynamically create those number of prompts. The prompts will be a choice list of columns that can be used as trend lines. For the following table structure:
table: table1
column1: quantity
column2: quantity_accepted
column3: quantity_rejected
the dashboard prompt 'Select number of Trend Lines' will ask users for a number. Let's say the user enters 2. We need to dynamically create 2 prompts based on column1, column2 and column3.
Is there a way of implementing this requirement?

I think you need to look at the JAXB capabilities
Try using JAXB & JSTL to dynamically build your faces-config.xml
For Runtime Java bean Classes
IF you have an XML schema/DTD you can use JAXB to generate Java Bean Source code
Obviously you are going to have to build into your application the ability to invoke the JAXB & Java Compilers

My Prompt back ground colour changes during run time in Client / Server Env

Dear Friends, 
 My Prompt of text items are changing its back ground colour according to the Text item's back colour during runtime. This doesn't look good. My look and feel of my application gets spoiled due to this. I tried with Visual Attribute (both prompt & Text item) but of no use. I don't want to use text label as I want to change the prompt during run time. Please help me.

Dear Kevin,
Yes I agree with you, but in my case as this application supports bilingual (English & Arabic), I want to change the prompt of the text at run time. Can I change the text of boilerplate text at runtime?
Thank you for your reply.

Hi,
There is no std user-exit for this (at least we haven't found it as well).
We have created implicit enhancement point implementation athe the end of form AUFRUF_USER_EXIT in include MF02DFEX.
The code should be similiar to following:
ENHANCEMENT 1 YEDSD_EO_ADD_DOC_PREFIX.    "active version
    DATA:
      ltp_doc_prefix TYPE y_dt_docpref.
*--only in creation and change mode
    IF T020-AKTYP = 'H' OR
       T020-AKTYP = 'V'.
      CONCATENATE kna1-ktgrd kna1-kunnr INTO ltp_doc_prefix.
      kna1-yydocpre = ltp_doc_prefix.
    ENDIF.
ENDENHANCEMENT.

Members on rows, can they be passed to run-time prompt in a business rule?

Hi!
I have a input form which has a business rule with properties "Run on Save" and "Use members on Form".
The business rule has run-time prompts (local variables) as follows (showing only the fix part of br...)
FIX ([V_Year],[V_Version],[V_Scenario],@LEVMBRS ("Offering", 0),[V_Entity],
[V_ICP], [V_Account])
calculation...
endfix
Now my accounts are on rows and I would like pass those account members to the [V_Account] variable through run time prompt. The [V_Account] ís a local variable with Type "Members" in Account dimension. I have also selected 0-level accounts as limits. Other dimension members from page/pov seem be passed successfully to run-time-prompts.
The run-time-prompt does not seem to be able to catch those account members on rows? Is it at all possible to pass members on dataform rows to run time prompts?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
Thanks John!
I just have live with that and find another way to restrict the calculation regarding those accounts.

Can't get Run Time Prompts to pop up in Planning 11.1.2.1 on WebForm

Hi,
Client is using Business Rules and not Calc Manager. I have a Webform that has a Business Rule attached with only Run on Save selected. In the BR there are various RTP's user needs to choose. When I navigate to the WebForm in the bottom left hand corner I don't see any available BR's. That is first clue it won't work? When I hit save, nothing pops up to select and only the message 'The data has been saved successfully' appears. Nothing about the rule has run successfully etc. I have provisioned the group I'm in with 'Validate or Launch' Access to the BR in question.
Within EAS when I goto launch or validate the rule, the Run Time Prompt box pops up and allows me to make my selections but not when I hit Save on the form.
Any ideas? Could it be a provisioning issue? My username is an admin.
Stumped as I haven't done this in a while without Calc Mgr thus am I missing something obvious?

OK. Possibly onto something here. On the left hand side of the Business Rule tab there are all the calc scripts. Then only Bus Rule that appears there is a new one I created that was an exact copy of the Business Rule in question, just with a '- New' appended to the end of the name. Funny thing is both Business rules that are attached to the form do appear on the right hand side. Thus how could that be? How does one get the Bus Rules to appear on the left hand side? Haven't been in EAS Business Rules mode for a long time.

Sequence will not validate with run time prompts in business rules

I am in Hyperion Planning v 1.1.1.3, with Workforce initialized. I am creating a sequence of business rules. The rules use run time prompts within them and validate when used on their own. However, when I insert them in a sequence the sequence will not validate, apparently due to the run time prompts.
The sequence returns the error: Cannot calculate. Essbase Error(1200323): Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 7): expression expected after [(].
Line 7 in the business rule is as follows:
FIX ([rtpYear],[rtpScenario],[rtpVer],[rtpCC],[rtpBU],[rtpEmp])
The problem is not isolated to this business rule, it occurs with any rule I try.
Can sequences function with run time prompts in the included business rules?
Stephen

I have figured out that if any rtp is hidden in the business rule, the sequence will not validate. Is this expected behavior for sequences?
Additionally, hiding the variables in the sequence has no effect if the variables are not hidden in the rule. When launched from a menu in a web form, the user is prompted for values for all variables (except for the Execution Database Name) although they are prepopulated based on the members in the POV, Page, etc. Is this also expected behavior?
I also find that it won't validate if "Merge launch variables" is selected (I have included rules associated with different plan types and with different dimensionality, so this may be expected). The user is prompted to provide values for every variable in each rule in the sequence, many of them duplicates (though, again, they are prepopulated based on members in the form).

How to prevent prompt to install CVI Run-Time Engine?

The LabVIEW laptop for my client got messed up, so I spent several hours making it forget everything it ever knew about NI software. I started by uninstalling all NI applications, then manually deleted all the folders that the uninstaller leaves behind, then ran a couple of registry cleaners to sweep out as much NI as possible, and finally ran regedit to see what was left. In the end there were only some legacy drivers that regedit would not let me delete.
Then I installed 8.6.1 from DVD, carefully selecting only the options we needed; LabVIEW core, cRIO, FPGA, PID, and the minimum set of drivers the installer would let me get away with. Note that no Labwindows/CVI option boxes were checked. When the installation was complete, I rebooted the machine and launched LabVIEW, which immediately prompted me to install the LabWindows/CVI 8.5.1 (not 8.6.1) Run-Time Engine. I dutifully fed it my 8.6.1 DVD, which caused LabVIEW to crash. After 3 reboot/retry cycles with the same result, I decided to appeal to the forum for help.
What is causing LabVIEW to think I need the CVI Run-Time Engine (and a down-rev version, at that), and how do I convince LabVIEW that I do not?
Jeff

Thanks for the reply! OK, so LabVIEW needs the CVI RTE even though I'm not using any CVI features. I can live with that. I downloaded LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine 8.5 from the NI web site and tried to install it. After I confirmed that I accepted whatever that license agreement says, the installer told me that "No software will be installed or removed."
Then I opened LabVIEW, and it went through the same "The feature you are trying to use..." popup and tried to install the CVI RTE. The installation failed as usual, and LabVIEW crashed.
A few minutes ago I found and ran CVTRTE.msi on the 8.6.1 distribution DVD. I selected the "repair" option, which completed successfully. After rebooting, I launched LabVIEW only to be greeted with the now-hated NI LabWindows/CVI 8.5.1 Run-Time Engine installer.
The part of this that is so infuriating is that there appears to be no way for anyone to make a computer forget everything NI so you can start with a clean slate.

Run time prompts not appearing when launching BR from a right click menu

Hi!
I have a problem when trying to launch a business rule from a right click menu which is assigned to a dataform.
The rule launches but does not show/ask for the run time prompts as it should do. The run-time prompts should not be hidden (I checked also Eas and data form selections).
When using the rule form the Tools-Business Rules menu, the rule works fine. It prompts for the required variables and as they are filled in, the rule does what it is expected to.
Also, when using the same rule attached into a form (and selected "use members on form"&"run on save") the rule works correctly.
We are using version 11.1.2.1.
I already have tried restarting Planning services but without success.
What might cause this?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
I found out from the Oracle knowledge base:
This issue is caused by unpublished Bug 11064867 - RIGHT CLICK MENUS NOT RENDERING RUN TIME PROMPTS
In version 931 run time prompts worked correctly when launching them from a right click menu, I checked this out.
In our current version I got this working (this is kind of a workaround) by adding a new RTP variable (using the same dimension as the original RTP variable). This way I got the rule to "ask for more information" (like what were you asking for? ) and not running the rule without interruptions. This instruction was given in Oracle support (knowledge base).

Using run-time prompts in BRs for Planning 11.1.1

Hi to all!
I want to create a run-time prompt for periods for which the calculation is to be done in my business rule. So via Tools>Variables I created a global variable of MemberRange type, then I inserted this variable in the Fix statement of my business rule in Calculation Manager but the validation of the rule fails stating that the BR has a run-time prompt which is not allowed. I have not found anything in the documentation on how to allow runtime prompts in a BR, so I would be very grateful for hints on how to correct it.

Hi,
For global variables:
Run EAS console
Right click on your Essbase server (e.g. localhost)
Edit - Variables
Set names and values of global variables for all apps and all dbs (if you need so)
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs and CalcMngr scripts.
For local BR variables:
Run EAS
Create new BR
Go to "Variables" tab
Add local variables as "Member" type / "Run-time prompt" usage type
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs scripts.
For global BR variables:
Run EAS
Open BR - Global variables
Create new global variable as "Member" type / "Run-time prompt" usage type
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs scripts.

Smartview webf run time prompts upon submit are not picking up from the POV

Hi ,
I am in Planning 11.1.2.1 and using Smartview 11.1.2.1.103. After connecting to Planning Webform from Smartview, i am saving a composite form which should launch a Business Rule with run time prompts attached to the webform upon submit. The business rules are running with default run time prompts and it is not picking up the members from the POV ... is there a way to make it pick up the members from POV into the run time prompts upon saving it ? so far the workaround is to initiate the business rule from the planning tab in smartview .. any thoughts on this ? cheers

I found a known issue for smart view in 11.1.2.1 read me doc
11075506
When you open a data form in Smart View, if a business rule is directly attached to a composite data form that is set to Use Members on Data Form and Hide Prompt, the runtime prompt values are not picked up. Instead, the Runtime Prompt dialog box is displayed, and the user is prompted to enter a value.
Good Luck

Hide run-time prompt in composite data form in 11.1.2

Hi, I am using Planning 11.1.2, and the rule with run-time prompt I attached to a composite data from can't execute successfully when I selected "Hide Prompt" and "Use Members on data form". It says "An error occurred while attempting to run the following business rule on save". But if I set this rule to be run on save in a single data form, not a composite one, the rule could be run successfully. Is this a bug or does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you.
Regards,
Jerry

Hi, I had the same problem and I did a Service Request to Oracle. This is a bug. Unfortunatly, I do not think there is a solution to fix this problem.
The 11.1.2.1 version fixes this bug.

Run Time prompts

Is there a way to input TEXT string in HBR run time prompts using Global Variable (type string) and to save them against accounts(data type text) in Planning 9.3.1?
In BR the assignmnt is
Account_Name=[Global_Variable];
I think this is the issue as I am asigning a text to account using "=" operator.
The entered text is not getting saved for me. Please help.

Hi,
Unfotunately that's not possible, not only in 9.3.1 but also in later versions. You can alternatively use smart lists but of course that's not the same thing.
Cheers,

Run Time Prompt - showing alias instead of member name

We have a Capex Planning application that uses right-click menus to launch business rules with Run Time Prompts. We are using Planning 11.1.2.1. Even we the alias table set, when opening the RTP it pulls in the member name rather than alias.
There is an Oracle KB article (Show the Alias name in the Business Rule Run-Time Prompt [ID 857832.1]) that has this solution:
Take the following steps to add the alias name to the run-time prompt along with the member name.
1. Log in to planning web.
2. Navigated to File >> Preferences >> Application settings.
3. Select Show Alias in Member Selection and change the option from no to yes.
4. Save it.
But in 11.1.2.1, there is not option for "Show Alias in Member Selection" under Planning Preferences.
We have an SR open, but figured maybe someone else has run into this issue as well.
Does anyone know how to get the aliases to show on a Run Time Prompt rule in 11.1.2.1?
Thanks for your help!!

Deleting and rebuilding the dimension in the outline will enable you to build the members in the order you may desire if the file is in a given order.

Run Time Prompts not displaying correct members on Composite webform

Hi,
I have a two row composite form. The top form users select a version and a year. The bottom form is static and for read only display of Actuals from prior year. I have a business rule that needs to run on the top webform only. It also needs to bring in the users selection for Scenario and Year. Problem is every time I hit save to run the business rule, it populates the RTP's with Budget and FY14 and not the values I selected in the top webform. I have 'Use Members from Form' selected on the business rule attached to the composite form. I tried attaching business rule to source form but it doesn't run then. It must be attached to the composite? I think it gets confused and doesn't know which members to use as there are two forms? Any options here?

See if this helps:
When launched from a form, the values of members in the Page/POV take precedence if the Use Members on Form option is selected, regardless of whether the runtime prompt is hidden during design. The business rule is run without displaying the hidden runtime prompt to users, and the runtime prompt values are taken from the Page/POV members.This is not the case when business rules associated with composite forms are launched on save or from the left-hand pane or when business rules are launched from the Tools, then Business Rules menu. In these cases, the Use Members on Form setting is ignored, hidden runtime prompts get design-time values, and the last saved value takes precedence.
