Regarding Isuue in entering data in Web Form

Hello,
I am using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2 and i am trying to insert value in web form but when i enter value in Level 0 cells , except one cells all values are saved and that member is stored and is implied share of parent member.

Hi,
That is most probably an implied sharing problem. See below:

Updating data in Web Forms

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to update data in web forms :
* periodically (every 10 seconds for examples)
* from the server (in a trigger or something like that) for all clients connected
Thanks

Taz,
for the first a timer could do that. The second is not possible without having asynchrous message support in Forms. There are plans for such a feature but its not yet implemented

Validate Data in Web Form

we want to validate data in web form in planning through Java Script Code ?
how we can do it and what is the location of that Java Script file ?
One more thing ... if we make any changes in Java Script code then is it necessary to stop and start planning server or application ?
Thanks in Advance ..... :-)

Hi,
you can resolve this problem, adding a JavaScript code in validateData.js.
For example you can change and/or insert the code in validateForm function, that save the data only if the function return true.
There are also another function and the code example in SampleValidateData.js that you can see.
You find the ValidateData.js in the folder "custom" of your installation.
For example:
/default web application directory/deployments/your web server/HyperionPlanning/webapps/HyperionPlanning/custom
I report an example for control the data before saving it:
function validateForm(){
if (equalsIgnoreCase(applicationName,"BDG"))
if (equalsIgnoreCase(formName,"1.10A ECO"))
var rowPrecVers = currentDataGrid.endRow;
var colPrecVers = 2;
var rowActVers = 3;
var colActVers = 3;
var valTotPrecVers = 0;
var valTotActVers = 0;
valTotPrecVers = currentDataGrid.fullPrecision[rowPrecVers][colPrecVers];
for(rowActVers; rowActVers < currentDataGrid.endRow; rowActVers++){
valTotActVers = valTotActVers + parseFloat(currentDataGrid.fullPrecision[rowActVers][colActVers]);
if(valTotPrecVers < valTotActVers){
alert("Ops!!!Don't match" + "\n"
+ "Previous Version: " + valTotPrecVers + "\n"
+ "Actual Version: " + valTotActVers);
valid = false;
return valid;
else{
return valid;
Insert and modify this code in validateForm function.
If in your installation use Tomcat web server, you must save the change on the ValidateData.js file each time. If you use the WebLogic web server tou must restart the service. For other web server I don't know.
Take it easy and have fun!!!

HFM - log that shows if a user has loaded data via web form or excel load.

I can see any data loads that are coming from FDM, but is there a log that shows any data entered into HFM via web forms or submitted through an excel file? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

You could enable Data Audit to capture data changes made by users, though this will not capture which method users chose to change the data. That is, HFM can show that data changed, and who changed it, but cannot tell whether the data was changed through a form, grid, smart view, or FDM. If you want to prevent users from changing data through forms, grids, or smart view, you can secure those input methods, but you cannot capture which one is used.

Excel crashes when entering data from VBA form

After only 6 lines of data entered via VBA form with macros enables, excel crashes everytime. The code basically looks for the next empty row and then populates sheet with data from the form.
Is this known bug or is there something in the code causing this. I have tried on a couple of macs and get the same result.
Will post code here and the CRASH code ....
This is the code
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Dim lRow As Integer
Dim lRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = Worksheets("FamilySunday")
   lRow = ws.Cells.Find(what:="*", searchorder:=xlRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlValues).Row + 1
   'lRow = ws.Cells.Find(what:="*", searchorder:=xlRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlValues).Row + 1
    With ws
    Cells(lRow, 1).Value = Me.txtName.Value
    Cells(lRow, 2).Value = Me.txtEmail.Value
    Cells(lRow, 3).Value = Me.txtFacebook.Value
    Cells(lRow, 4).Value = Me.txtMobile.Value
    Cells(lRow, 5).Value = Me.txtDate.Value
    If OptionButton1.Value = True Then
    Cells(lRow, 6).Value = "Face Book"
    ElseIf OptionButton2.Value = True Then
    Cells(lRow, 6).Value = "Twitter"
    ElseIf OptionButton3.Value = True Then
    Cells(lRow, 6).Value = "Skating Heaven web site"
Else
    Cells(lRow, 6).Value = "Friends"
        End If
    Cells(lRow, 10).Value = Me.txtParty.Value
    End With
    'Clears the form for new entry
    Me.txtName.Value = ""
    Me.txtEmail.Value = ""
    Me.txtFacebook.Value = ""
    Me.txtMobile.Value = ""
    Me.txtParty.Value = ""
    Me.txtDate.Value = ""
    Unload Me
    frmDisclaim.Show
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Unload Me
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.Quit
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
End Sub
Private Sub txtName_Change()
'This will add date of entry which is hidden from view
Me.txtDate.Value = Format(Date, "Medium Date")
End Sub
And this is the CRASH CODE

The issues you describe have nothing to do with the other posting you are referencing. They state they have the following problem:
(numbers on ipad) drops several of the important features that I created in the laptop version such as headers and footers, fonts, steppers, sliders, etc.
It sounds like your having no data entry at all. There is a known issue with certain formulas causing crashes, but not every data entered like you seem to be stating.
I might have missed it, but did you delete and reinstall Numbers on your ipad?
If not, please write down EXACTLY the steps used to reproduce the problem, then go to http://www.apple.com/feedback and input this into a bug report for ipad numbers. Be very specific as to the steps involved to get to the crash point.
Thanks

Restrict Which Users Can Enter Data In List Form in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Is there a way to restrict which users can enter data in particular fields in a list item entry form?
We are using a SharePoint Foundation 2013 list and calendar to manage vacation time. We need to restrict non-supervisor users users from entering a value in a certain field in the vacation request form.
Here is how the system works now:
1. Employees complete the vacation request form (which creates a list item)
2. An email is sent to their supervisor to either approve or decline the request
3. Approved requests are automatically entered onto the vacation calendar
We have restricted the list so that only supervisors can edit items (the pending vacation requests). The problem is that all users can mark their own requests as approved when they fill out the request form in the first place. Is there a way to restrict
which users can enter data in particular fields on a list item entry form?

Thanks for the suggestion. We ended up 1) hiding the approval column and 2) creating a second list, workflow, etc. The user no longer sees the approval column when filling out the form. Requests are now submitted to list A. Workflow #1 copies the request
to List B, then deletes the item from List A. Once the request is added to List B, Workflow #2 emails the user that the request has been received and emails the supervisor that a request needs to be approved. Only supervisors have editing permissions on List
B. Approved requests are automatically added to the vacation calendar (the calendar view of List B).
We found the following site to be helpful in learning how to hide the list column:

Enter data in a form - save that data to disk...

I'd like to be able to enter the data, save individual records to disk, and access them individually. I've been trying to implement
'Serialize' but with no success so far. I'd be most grateful for any advice on how to save the individual records without implementing a database. I'm using applications for all the forms. To get me started, I'd be happy just to be able to enter something in the example form's text field, save it, and display it again.
Many Thanks

Though it would be better with ODBC bridge to an access DB.
... ( <--- that's dot, dot, dot) though for some reason you don't want to go down the DB path ?!?!

How to keep entering data in web pages

hi,
i am using ADF 11g 2 release. I have remote application connect with ADF jar lib and local application. when i enter data to my local application and redirect to remote application and enter the data their also. But when I link to local app page via url view but I entered data is not there. I am not commited any page data. In remote app... alos link but there also no data. how to keep them??
all page in taskflow and they connect with control flow case. I made Auto submit true and immediate true for text component.. but no any change.
can not use any setting changes? Need java coding for both application??
hoping chance..
thanks.

hi,
I have developed ADF 3 web applications. 2 of them are connect as ADF jar lib files in other application. That application name is local application and other 2 mentioned as remote application(jar lib files). those are in taskflowcall. IN my Local Application which has Application Module. so I selected remote application's Application modules as Application Module Instances. Then in my Local Application DataControl which include that added Application Modules inside the local application DataControl. which are in nested. Remote application DataControl also appear in the local app DataControl.
Problem is I want to save all applications data through my local application. therefore I link to first remote app and enter data but not commit ,then come back to local app.. and enter data and again goto first remote app again, BUT entered data Not there. so I want to keep them and save all 2 remote app data and local app data.
DCDataControl dc = bc.findDataControl("TestRemoteAppDataControl"); // *<-- this is one of my remote application Data control name..*
ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();
am.getTransaction().commit();
dc.commitTransaction();
this code is not worked. BUT local app data only saved using below code...
BindingContext bc =BindingContext.getCurrent();
DataControlFrame dcf= bc.findDataControlFrame(bc.getCurrentDataControlFrame());
Collection<DCDataControl> dcCol =dcf.datacontrols();
for(DCDataControl dCDataControl : dcCol) {
if(dCDataControl.isTransactionDirty()){
try{
dCDataControl.commitTransaction();
catch(Exception e) {
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
facesContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, e.getMessage(), null));
e.printStackTrace();
thanks ,hopping chance.
any who know this??
thanks.

Allocating data in Web Form

Hello All-
I have a data form which have accounts in row and periods in column. For my month Jan , Feb i have actuals numbers and the member YearTotal shows me the sum of the 2 periods & is dynamic calc. However on the same form i have months march to december which are open for forecasting and have all yellow cells as users can input data. Now i want users to input data in year total and allocate back to open months that is March to december on web form. As my year total has number and is dynamic calc it is marked green. How can i provide this utility to users without changing year total member from dynamic to store.
Please advise!
Thanks!

Thanks!

Cannot see data or enter data in pdf forms

I am an elementary school teacher, and use an application to maintain student information. I am able to navigate thru the app to select various student data, but when I click to display a students information, a blank PDF form is displayed. Borders and grids display, but no data is displayed, and I cannot enter any data. The IT help desk suggested uninstalling the old Adobe Reader, and replacing with 9.4.1, but this did not help.

It's really hard to say what's going on without knowing more about the system. It's possible that the program is generating an FDF (Forms Data Format) file and launches it, causing the PDF to load and populate with the data in the FDF. Folks have reported that recent changes to Reader have broken this type of thing. So you may need to go back to an even earlier version, such as 9.2 or 9.3, or somehow contact the developers of the application for help.
Is this something that happens in a web browser?

Can I use NOW() to auto-enter data on a form?

Hi,
I want to use a form in Numbers (for iPad) for rapid data entry. The the time of observation is a field of interest.
Can i use the NOW() function to register the time the record is created, but then not update?
In my experimentation so far, I have a field which is set to =NOW(). It works in the instant that a record is created but all of the values seem to change in all of the previous records when the table is active or a new record is created.
Is there some additional trick to get it to register NOW() just at the moment that the record is created and then become a static reference, or am I asking too much of Numbers?

Hi dh,
Numbers 3.1 on a MacBook with OS X 10.9.1
NOW updates whenever a change is made (or the document is reopened).
Insert =NOW() and press enter to record the time.
Immediately copy that cell, then Edit > Menu > Paste Formula results. That will convert it to Actual instead of a Formula.
Typing a value into a cell anywhere (here 1 is typed into C2) will update Now, but not update the Paste Formula Results.
NOW anywhere in the document will also update
Sheet 1, both NOW cells updated
Sheet 1-1, both NOW cells updated just by typing 1 into Sheet 1 Table 1 C2
Regards,
Ian.

How to email data from web form?

I need some direction please. I have created a web page (.htm) that has several textboxes, a submit and clear button. The purpose of this web page is for users of the company intranet to input data into the textboxes and then clicking on Submit will email the data to those responsible for filling the users request. The web page will be served up on the companys intranet using the Apache web server that is running on Solaris 10. It seems to me that I will need an email server, but I do not know what Sun program to install and how to configure it. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

You need an amp (apache2, mysql, PHP/Python) stack - that's exactly the kind of thing they're for. I have the exact setup you're describing at my job. I set up an intranet server where the secretaries could input client information, and then hit "submit." If they didn't fill out the form correctly, it complains at them and makes them do it over, otherwise it emails the form data to me and I input it in our database.
Php has a mail function that uses the system mailer (most likely sendmail?)

Is it possible for users to enter data on PDF forms?

I would like to use Crystal Reports to generate a PDF form with data from database; I am experienced with that.
Here's the question -- Many of the fields will be populated from my database, but I would like to leave some fields blank for the user to edit manually. (I do not expect these edits to update the database.) Is there a field or object I can insert to allow for these manual edits?
I have seen this feature at my own benefits website. I can click on the PDF and enter some values in blank fields. It gives me a warning that the changes will only be shown when I print, not when I save.
I have been unable to create this feature using Visual Studio 2005. Do I have to upgrade to 2008? Or do I have to upgrade my Crystal Report package in Visual Studio? Or is this feature not possible in Visual Studio?
Any thoughts are most welcome.

There are 3rd-party tools (see comprehensive list at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html) that provide extra pdf functionality on top of the pdf export from Crystal.
In the case of my Visual CUT software, you can use hidden formulas inside your Crystal report to generate form fields (pre-populated as well as empty) as part of the pdf export process.

How do I use one form field to enter data into another form field?

Does anyone know how I can code a form so that when I select
a name in one drop-down form field, I can ensure that the person's
e-mail address will appear in another text field?
Thanks.

Retrieve text entered in web form

Somebody please offer some assistance here.
I've lost some important information entered into a web form and simply using the back button will not retrieve it. I'm hoping it can be retrieved through the cache or form value files somehow but I'm not familiar with these types of files so I'm coming up short.
Any idea how to retrieve it?

What is the unary operator (addition, subtraction, never, etc) on the member that represents your text measure? Is it possible that you're aggregating the numeric data in Essbase that is then referenced to derive the text data (from the Planning repository), and therefore the text measure is returning something at upper levels?
If that isn't helpful, you could potentially mask the cell using a data validation. Create a data validation that always evaluates to true, and black-out the one cell you don't want displayed. Not the best fix, but it will prevent the wierd characters from being displayed.
Hope this helps,
- Jake
