Regarding Entity Dimension in Planning

Hi All,
We have created one application with X as Entity dimension, now the requirement is we need to change Y as Entity dimension here Y is custom dimension in Planning.
Is there any simple way to tag Y as Entity ?
Thanks in advance.

Sravan Kumar.

This sounds exactly like this post yesterday :- Changing the property of Entity dimension
Are you sure you are not the same person :)

How can I build a ragged Entity dimension with ERPi

All,
I am trying to build an Entity dimension for Planning with ERP Integrator v11.1.2.1, the source is EBS 12.
In the source system I am building from there is a single parent entity with six child entities, there are then 8 hierarchies of cost centres with no common parent, these cost centre groups define different business areas within only one of the entities, the cost centres for the remaining entities have not yet been defined.
In the ERP Setup I have specified that the Entity dimension should be built from the Entity and Cost Centre segments and I have created metadata mappings for each parent entity and cost centre ancestor pair (eight in all), the Enitiy segment is traversed first followed by the Cost Centre; all are defined as Base Hierarchies. Each pair has a separate hiearchy name, I tried to define only one of these as a base hierarchy and reuse the name for each pair but this resulted in an error:
Run Time Error: The hierarchy 'Total Entity' cannot share the parent member 'Total Entity' with the hierarchy 'Total Entity'
At the moment I get a hierarchy where all cost centres are associated with all child entities.
Can anyone advise what needs to be done to achieve the following:
- Get the dimension to build with the cost centres as children of the entities to which they relate.
- Build the entity dimenion beneath a single common parent e.g. 'Total Entity' rather than eight separate parents (one for each entity/cost centre mapping).
Thanks

Gavin,
i have the same issue, can you please share, how you were able to solve this.

Create users and assigning them security on the Entity dimension

Hi All,
I’m working with Hyperion ESSBASE 11.1.1.3 and Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 and I have a problem related to create new users (without admin permissions) and assigning them security on the Entity dimension.
When I access with these users to a Dataform in Planning appears these message:
“Security and/or filtering has resulted in a required dimension not being represented on this data form”
I have followed these steps:
- I have created new users (Native Directory) and provision them against essbase and the planning application in Shared Services.
- I have expanded the essbase server > security > refresh security from shared services > all users.
- I have assigned security roles in all members of Entity dimension in Planning.
- I have refreshed database and security filters in Planning.
Please help
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
You will have to apply security to all the standard dimensions and not just entity, so that will be account, entity, scenario and version.

Managing large entity dimension in Hyperion Planning

Hi experts,
Here is my situation :
- Planning version : 9.3.1.3
- OS : Windows 2003 Server 32-bits
- Repository : SQL Server 2005
- Application with 3 plans, 12 dimensions. Larger dimension is "Entity" with 40,000 members.
- No workflow is used
Here is my problem :
- I can add without any problem members in my entity dimension but, when I want to cut/paste or delete any member, Planning process uses a lot of memory on the server and when the limit is reached (parameter in the registry database can't be higher : 1622M), process freeze with an out of memory error. So, I restart service and delete or cut/paste is not done.
- Cut/paste and delete on others dimensions work fine.
So, could anyone give me advices about my situation ?
Thanks
Julien

Hi,
Patch was a good idea, but we was already in 9.3.1.14.
We finally found the solution :
Entity is really "linked" to scenario and version by the workflow functionnality.
As we don't use it, we disabled for process management each scenario and version.
MIRACLE : Thanks to this action, when we delete an entity, memory consumption is low and process quick.
Conclusion : Delete process of entity dimension controls a lot of things in the repository, using a lot of memory. So, if a scenario or a version is not used in a workflow process, it is very important to discard it from process management.

Not able to delete any Entity Dimension members

Hi All,
I am trying to delete some Entity Dimension members but its not allowing me to delete. This problem is only for Entity Dimension.
I can edit Entity member name or properties successfully but not able to delete or move the position.
I also tried to check member usage but its not giving me any results, a blank screen comes and planning goes down after some time. Same happens when I try to delete any Entity member.
I have admin rights on Planning and I can delete other dimension member but not for Entity. There is no workflow started for Entity but If it is than also it pop-ups that after member deletion all planning unit will be lost. I have bounced planning DB and also restarted all Hyperion services but still no luck.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue or have any solution to resolve.
Regards
Vishal

Hi John,
After uncheck of "enabled for process management" for all Scenario along with Version dimension members , this issue is now resolved. But its a temporary resolution as client has not yet started any workflow so we can uncheck that options ,but when they need to start workflow process then we have to check this options again which will start this issue again.
Do you have any permamant resolution for this issue?
Thanks for your help.

7.5 NW: Uunable to delete dimension members from the entity dimension

Hi,
I would really appreciate a solution to this. We are planning on implementing an IFRS consolidation using the SAP IFRS Starter Kit. We have created a copy of the IFRS Starter Kit, without any data. In order to customise it for our purposes, we have decided to keep the sample dimension members in Accounts, Flow and AuditID but delete the data in other dimensions. We have managed to delete the sample dimension members from the Time, Inter-company and Conoscope dimensions but are unable to do it for the Entity and RateEntity dimension.
Can anyone please explain why this is happening? There is no data in the application and so, why is this happening? We are on Service Pack 5.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Before going into the BPFs, i am sure you would have already checked, I would do the following:
-Try to process the entity dimension in offline mode. I have seen this happening with some dimenions that i know there is absolutely no transaction action. Just check processing the entity in offline mode. Do not untick 'take the appset offline'.
- You would have done this. Double check for the transaction data.
- Regarding BPFs, its not easy to check this. we had this situation earlier. Please go into the backend and in se16 you will find all the BPF tables with UJB*
There would around 10-12 such tables. Have alook in them. Not all tables need to be looked into. But please have a check there.
- Also check if entity has been referenced to any other dimension. Its good to check if you have INTCO dimension to see if it is referenced there.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Error while processing ENTITY dimension

Hi Experts,
I am on BPC 7.5NW version.
I have 6 hierarchies defined for ENTITY dimension.
I have created the structure in an excel and now I am coping it into Entity dimension for each column one by one.
I copied ID, Description and PARENTH1 in ENTITY dimension and processed it. It worked fine.
When I copied PARENTH2 from excel to ENTITY dimension and tried to process it, it gave me following errors -
Base member 'INDIAREG' cannot be the parent of 'UBCITY' in PARENTH1
Base member 'BURUKWS' cannot be the parent of 'MUKSA' in PARENTH1
Could you please let me know how to resolve the issue?

Loading Attribute Dimension - Hyperion Planning

Hello Everyone,
I appreciated a lot informations that I found here. I red the http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/11/odi-series-loading-essbase-metadata.html
about loading attribute dimension on Essbase, but when I try to execute the same steps using Hyperion Planning Adapter in ODI, I cannot see the option inside the model to reverse also all dimension attribute, hence I cannot load members on my dimension attribute. Do you know how can I develop the attribute dimension load on Hyperion Planning?
Regards,
Wallace Galvão

Hi,
You first need to create the attribute dimension in planning, ODI does not create dimensions.
Once you have created your attribute dimension you can reverse the planning application again and the attribute dimension should be created as a DataStore

ICP dimension in Planning Application

Hi All!
Did you ever have requirement to use intercompany in planning?
Whether there is a possibility to use ICP dimension in Planning application?

Hi!
I have had it in some applications. It just has to be added as a custom dimension. Calculations concerning eliminations and so on has to be done through Business rules or essbase calcluation scripts. So far I have not found any support in Planning for icp requirements.

Entity Dimension - Company Code + Profit Center

Dear experts,
I'm in a BPC project in NW, the project has two fronts, planning and consolidation, in specific I am with the initial concern of how to organize the dimensions, and is used by both sides.
Explaining the situation, we will do the planning and legal and management consolidation, ie we must have a vision of the organization by Company (Company Code) and Enterprise Center (Profit Center), here comes the first question, Do we need to organize the Entity Dimension structure with a hierarchy of hybrid company and profit center? Ie:
Say a company has the following structure:
The Company A is a holding company with Company B controlled.
Under the Company A have two enterprise center: X and Y;
Under the Company B have tree enterprise center : V, W and Z;
Thus the structure of ParentH1 would get this:
ID ParentH1
A
B     A
X     A
Y     A
V     B
W    B
Z     B
This interpretation is correct? What are the impediments to the COI if any.
Thanks
Alexandre

Alexandre,
I'm with the same doubt, do you get the answer ?
Please some one knows the answer ?
Best Regards

Entity dimension

By what tools I can dynamically build the Entity dimension in the Planning application, except ODI, DIM and EPMA?
Thanks.

Yes can use ODI to build the dimension for a classic application.
EPMA is a different type of managing metadata and is not classic, it is an EPMA planning application, so if you convert your classic to an EPMA planning application or create an EPMA planning application you can use it to build your entity dimension.

Mass Allocate function and Entity Dimension. Special treatment?

Hello all,
We're having an issue with mass allocate and the entity dimension, but we are not sure if that is the expected behavior or we have another sort of problem.
We are trying to use the mass allocate function in a Planning web form, using proportional spread. Have tested it across several dimensions (both custom and default) and in all of them it works the way we expect to: It increases existing values in proportion to the target values.
However, when it spreads form superior to inferior levels in entity dimension, it is another story. It spreads evenly across all the members, doesn't care if target has missing or has a value. I have tried looking at the code it generates, but I'm not able to spot why it behaves like this. I have read the documentation but do not find any reference to this.
Is this a expected behavior or do we have a problem with some property on entity dimension?
Needless to say, it is the first time we try to use mass allocate.
We are using planning 11.1.1.3
Thanks in advance for you help.
