PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ...) and user defined dimensions

Hi,
I created a custom package that should enable the user to select members of the TIME, Account and Category dimensions and also members of some user defined dimension called "Costcent". After that, a scriptlogic file should be called.
I tried:
1)
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... %TIME_DIM%%ACCOUNT_DIM%%CATEGORY_DIM%"Costcenter")
which doesn't work, bc. compiler doesnt seem to like %var%"fixedexpression"
2)
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... "Costcenter")
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT, ... %TIME_DIM%%ACCOUNT_DIM%%CATEGORY_DIM%)
running the package only allows to select a costcenter, 2nd prompt ignored?
3) similar, the other way round.
Any ideas?
Moreover, I need to be able to access the selection of the Costcenter members in the script logic. For the std. dimensions, there is %TIME_SET%, %CATEGORY_SET% etc.I am using successfully, but how to define or access the set (or list) for the selected members of user-def. "CostCent" dimension ?
Thanks for your help!

Clear Bug: Using the DataManager to modify the .dtsx file sometimes modifies the prompt lines in an unpredictable way... So the file that is safed doesn't get the content it is intended to get... - Guess "this should never happen", but it is...

Difference between UDA & User-Defined Dimension

Hi all,
I need to know what the difference between UDA and User-Defined Dimension and when can i use each one??
thanks in advance

UDAs are descriptive words that you can use to categories members of a dimension.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/uda_tab.html
Using UDA, For ex: in Customer Dim you can divide customers into CAT A, B or C and then can use these UDAs in calc scripts, query them later in reports etc.
User defined Dimension: Is any new dimension that you add to planning application apart from default ones.

Hi,
This is a very generic Error.
u2022You can try re-booting the server.
u2022Prior to re-boot log-in to the server and verify that the +COM objects are working or all started
u2022You may also get this error if a dimension has not processed, which means the application is not processed
u2022Another problem that can cause this problem is that the password for the installation user has been changed or that the installation user is locked out.
u2022Do you see error in BPC Server Manager -> Diagnostic?
There are several SAP Notes also available for this Error u2013 1246092, 1223846

Numbers assigned to user defined dimensions

Dear Experts
I have created application set from APPSHELL and created three user defined dimensions viz., A, B and C
Then removed all not required dimensions including 'P_ACTIVITY' which was a User defined dimension.
System has assigned numbers as U4, U8 and U9 to these dimensions on its own (I do not know what is the logic system is following to assign numbers to these dimensions)
Questions:
1. What is the logic system is following for assignment of the numbers to User defined dimensions?
2. Can I change these numbers to U1, U2 and U3 (for ease in ad-hoc reporting). If YES how can I do that?
Thanks

Hi,
The userdefined dimensions are named Sequentially as they are created and these are not constant for them, the same dimension may have different names in different applications.
Also the user defined dimensions are named as Ua to Ux in NW.
For example, in App1 some dimension X may be named as Uc, the same dimension X in App2 may be named as Ud or some other.
We need to manually work betweeen "a to x" with the below macro to find the exact name for the user defined dimension in the application.
"MNU_eTOOLS_MEMBERSELECTOR_X"
Eg:
MNU_eTOOLS_MEMBERSELECTOR_Ua
Also as suggested in earlier replies i dont think this naming can be changed.
Hope this helps,

How to Manage index of user define dimensions

When I create a new rate application,The BPC system throw the message"Index was out of range:must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection parameter name :Index".
I searched oss notes:1323195 saying :"A user can change the index of user-defined dimensions by clicking a button named "Manage Index" in "Modify application". The button will be shown if**
*there are user-defined dimensions already assigned to an application or at*
*the moment of assigning a user-defined. If the button is clicked a windows*
*will popup, and the user can maintain a user-defined dimension index from*
*the window."*
But i can't find the menu "manage index" .
could someone tell me how to find it?
thanks

Just go trough Manage application and Modify application and use reindex and full process.
This normally should fix your issue.

Need help: unable to change user defined dimension

Hi,
I have a problem with BPC. I installed BPC Server and BPC Client NW7.5 SP9. I can duplicate, create and modify all standard dimensions (Account, Category, Entity, Time) in my own application as also in appshell.
I can duplicate or create a user defined dimension, but I cannot modify that user defined dimension. I change the elements, then I process my changes. But after I have refreshed the dimension all changes are reverted.
I looked in UJFS and can see that .xls and .xlt are uploaded on NW correctly. Even on my local machine it is changed, but BPC does not recognize that.
Has anyone an idea what to do? I need not only the standard dimensions but also user defined dimensions.
Regards

We've got this problem on non-unicode system on SP08, as Frank. Corrected with SP09.
Maybe you have to check if all components patched well (NW, .Net and client):
- In NW Go to System-Status-Component Information. CPMBPC must have level 0009.
- On .Net Server check Server Version in Planning and Consolidation Server utility (.09)
- In client for Excel check ETools-About Planning and Consolidation (7.50.09).
If that's correct, first check, if new records occur in BW object for your dimension (in rsa1). Or maybe that info-object somehow become inactive.
And did you mark checkbox "Process members from member shett" during processing the dimension?

User defined dimensions in planning

hi all can any one tell me where are the user defined dimensions in planning are stored in the backend realtional tables ? I am learning about the worlkflow of the backend tables and how will they react to any changes that are made in the front end. I got the tables where pre defined dimensions are stored but i created a dimension called "CUSTOM" and checked it in the HSP_OBLECT, HSP_DIMENSION tables but did not find it. Can any one tell me whats actually going on in the backend ??
thanks in advance,
Ranjith Kumar. P

You can find the dimension name in HPS_Object under Object_Name column and for the dimension Id you can check HSP_Dimension.
Something like:
Select Object_Name from HSP_OBJECT WHERE (Object_ID in (Select Dim_ID from HSP_Dimension))
and just for finding the object_id of dimension name "Custom":
Select * from HSP_OBJECT where Object_Name like 'Custom'
Here is more information on all the relational data-models:

Maximum number of User defined dimensions in Planning v11.1.2

Hi guys,
I am new to Hyperion Planning version 11.1.2, just wanted to clarify what is the maximum number of User defined dimensions that can be added in a planning application.
I've also learnt that the number of Alias tables is more than the previous versions. What is the maximum number of Alias tables in Planning version 11.1.2 ?
Regards.

Maximum number of alias tables is 10 including the default alias table
As for custom dimensions then I wouldn't expect you to hit a maximum unless you want to design a planning application destined to fail.
Cheers

Value mapping, interface mapping, standard funtions and user defined functi

I like have more information abt live scenario's use of value mapping, interface mapping, standard funtions and user defined functions.
How to create user defined funtions and how to use it in XI?
thanks in advance
shiva

Hi,
Interface mappings register your mapping program for an interface pair in the Integration Repository. If you require a mapping at runtime, it is sufficient to select the interface mapping for the interface pair at configuration time .The Integration Server uses the interface mapping to identify associated mapping programs for request messages, response messages, fault messages, or all three.
Features
Executing Multiple Mapping Programs for One DirectionBy using an interface mapping you can execute multiple mapping programs consecutively for the transformation of a request or response message. In such cases, an interface mapping comprises multiple steps for which the following applies:
●     The steps are executed in the sequence specified (from top to bottom). The result of the mapping program from the previous step is forwarded to the mapping program of the subsequent step.
●     Each step can reference a mapping program that executes a 1:1, 1:n, n:1, or an m:n transformation. In the case of multi-mappings (1:n, n:1, or m:n), the previous step must create the same number of messages that the subsequent step expects.
●     Multi-mappings use one envelope to put all messages in one structure. If one of the steps references a multi-mapping program, all subsequent steps must use the same envelope.
The mapping for a request message comprises two message mapping programs: one 1:1 transformation and one 1:n transformation. Since the latter message mapping uses the multi-mapping envelope for both the target message and the source message, the message mapping for the 1:1 transformation must also create a transformation result with a multi-mapping envelope.
You do not strictly need to divide up one direction of the whole mapping into different steps. However, this enables all the message formats in one system landscape to be mapped to a central message format, for example. This results in less mapping programs being required because you no longer need to be able to map all the different message formats to each other
Activities
       1.      Create a message mapping on the design maintenance screen of the Integration Builder (see also: Creating an Object).
You can also create multiple interface mappings for the same interface pair.
       2.      Enter the source and target interfaces that require a mapping of the request message, the response message, the fault message, or all three, in the table of the same name. The following restrictions apply:
○     If you want to use the interface mapping in a transformation step in an integration process, you must only specify abstract message interfaces. Furthermore, all objects (integration process, interface mapping, and all objects that reference the interface mapping) must be in the same software component version. If you want to reference objects from underlying software component versions, you must access the objects from the Basis Objects branch (in the navigation tree or using an input help).
○     If you want to map multiple messages to each other by using a multi-mapping, you can only specify asynchronous interfaces (for further restrictions, see: Multi-Mappings). If any message interfaces are missing, you can also create them by using the function Create New Object ().
If the interface cannot be imported or cannot be created in the Integration Repository (in the case of an external adapter, for example), you must enter the interface names manually. However, it is not possible to check the technical name in this case.
       3.      To import the properties of the interfaces, choose Read Interfaces. The table in the lower area displays tab pages for the request message, response message, and if available, for the fault message, for each mode of the interfaces (either synchronous or asynchronous).
       4.      To develop an external mapping program, export the XSD schema of the respective request or response message as a zip file after you have imported the interfaces. The zip file can contain multiple schema files that reference each other, for example in a multi-mapping. In this case, the schema with the global message element has the name MainSchema.
       5.      To reference a mapping program for the respective message, you have the following options:
○     Select an existing mapping program from the Integration Repository by using the input help (). If this is a message mapping, the default setting of the input help only displays those message mappings that are found using the source and target message in the Integration Repository (in multi-mappings, the first source and target messages are used as the search criteria). However, you can also display any number of message mappings, for example, because you are constructing a mapping from several mapping programs with intermediate instances which have no message types.
○     You can create message mappings directly from the interface mapping. To do this, select the mapping type Message Mapping in the Type column. Position the cursor in the Name column and choose the function Create New Message Mapping () in the Mapping Program frame. The Integration Builder copies the specifications of the messages and their occurrence directly from the interface mapping.
An interface mapping can only reference mapping programs that belong to the same or an underlying software component version of the interface mapping. This ensures that the mapping program can be shipped together with the interface mapping (see: Software Logistics).
       6.      If it is not a mapping for a fault message, you can execute multiple mapping programs in succession for request and response messages:
○     To insert an additional line for a mapping program, choose .
○     To delete the registration for a mapping program, choose .
At runtime, the mapping programs are executed from top to bottom.
       7.      Save the interface mapping.

"Nested and User Defined Exceptions" in Java...Theory and Code Required...?

Can anyone provide theoretical information with example code for "Nested Exceptions" and "User Defined Exceptions"..? Or it would be equally good, if someone can provide links for further reading on the said topic.

User Defined Exceptions are the same as exceptions in the JDK, but are defined by a "User"
I suggest you look at the JDK for examples.
A Nested Exception is an Exception with a different exception set as the cause.
This pages covers more than you need to know with examples. [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Throwable.html]

Dynamic script - User defined dimension

Hi
I have the following problem.
When i create a task in the data manager, and i want the user to select some menbers of the dimensions to be used in the script logic, for example, if i want him to select the time all i do is a PROMPT tag with the %TIME_DIM% variable.
What if i want a user defined dimention, lets say product for instance.
If i use the variable %DIMS% i get the product dimension and all others, but i want only the PRODUCT dimension.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Leandro,
You can try something like below:
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,%SELECTION%,,"Select the members to CLEAR",%DIMS%)
You can replace the above statement by
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,%SELECTION%,,"Select the members to CLEAR",CATEGORY)
In the above statement, CATEGORY is just the name of the dimension. You can try similarly with other dimensions too.
Hope this helps.

Problem with ALV and user defined selection screen. please help!

Hi Experts,
I have program which has a user defined selection screen 9001. On executing the selection screen i call a ALV using resuse_alv_grid function module.
What problem I am facing is that when I press back button from ALV page it goes to the se38 editor instead of selection screen.
How to resolve this?
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
This might be due to LEAVE TO TRANSACTION statement. You might be running the program from SE38. Try to run the program using Z-TCode assigned to it.
Thanks and Regards,
