Reporting Attribute dimension on Planning Database in HFR

Can you report attribute dimension values in Hyperion Financial Reports when connection to the Planning database connection? I am not seeing Planning Details as an option in HFR as only Planning appears. Is there something that I'm missing? I would like to report Smart List alphanumeric values on HFR but also be able to pull in the attribute dims, yet that doesn't seem possible.

Hi Alex
That sounds like a bug, I have used attribute dimensions in reporting lots of times in earlier versions and I'm sure that some of those used planning rather than essbase connections. I've not read the documentation around the subject so can't be sure but it sounds pretty fundamental so I'd be surprised if not a bug.
Worth doing a bit of digging on Oracle support or in the readme files or even raising an SR if you have that option.

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?

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

How to hide the Attribute dimension from Planning webform

I am in Planning 9.3.1
We are using members in row section of webform w.r.t Attribut dimension
so when we are viewing the webform- it is displaying member name followed by Attribute dimension name .
any way to hide that Attribute dimension member from the webform.
KK

In the Dimension Properties for that dimension, select "Enable custom attribute display" but dont pull the attribute from Available Dimensions to Selected Dimensions. I've given the name of the property from 11.1.1.3 version, so not sure if its the same in 9.3.1 but it'll be somewhat similar.

How to design Flat file for loading attribute dimension in a planning application

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to extract attribute dimensions from an essbase application and load it to another planning application. I have a dimension called Program and two attribute dimensions Sales Manager, Accounts manager associated with Program dimension in Essbase application. I will Extract these dimensions using Essbase outline extractor. After Extracting the attribute dimensions I have to load these dimensions to planning applications using outline load utility. Kindly guide me how to design the flat file for loading attribute dimensions in planning application.
Thanks and Regards
SC

You could dig through the docs and try to figure out the file format manually, or you could do this the easy way. Simply use the Outline Load Utility to export your attribute dimension from Planning. The export file format is the same as the import file format. You might have to manually add a couple of test members to your attribute dimension so that your export file has some content. Then simply update the file you exported, and import it.
(I am assuming you have already manually created the Attribute dimension in Planning, and that you simply need to add members to it.)
Hope this helps,

Reporting on Attribute Dimension in HFR using Planning Connection

Hi,
We are using Planning/HFR version 11.1.2. We have one issue with Hyperion Financial Reports. For connecting to HFR we have used the Planning Database connection. Apart from Standard dimensions we have also got attribute dimensions in our application. When I go and develop a report in the FR Studio - in the Dimension Layout the Attribute dimensions are not displayed only the standard dimensions are available for report selection. We also want to report on the attribute dimension. Is there a way we can achieve that?
...We are aware that if we connect to FR using an Essbase connection the attribute dimensions show up on the Dimension layout but we have some text data to report at which essbase cannot handle.......
Any response on this would be highly appreciated

Smartview 11.1.2.3 - Planning connection does not allow reporting off Attribute Dimensions

Hello
In Smart View version 11.1.2.3 one now has a 'Planning' connection to connect to planning
This is very handy as one can report text instead of numbers for comment fields and smart lists
However, Attribute dimensions are not visible to use in the Planning connection.
This is quite a big issue as customers extensively make use of 'Attribute dimensions ' in reporting
Has anybody been able to use Attribute dimensions when using the planning connection?
Berndt

Attributes are available on Essbase connections and unfortunately not Planning.

Planning, Attribute Dimensions, FR

I have a situation where we are creating reports in FR
We are trying to leverage the attribute dimension. If we point to FR in Essbase we can leverage it. If we point FR to Planning it doesn't give us that option. Is this functioning as designed or are we missing a step

Yes that is the way it works unfortunately, it has to be an essbase connection.

ODI Planning Attribute Dimension

I have an existing Product dimension that was created via ODI 10.1.5.6 to Planning 11.1.1.3.03 -- the Product Dim loads fine. Then I attached an attribute dimension called "Product Line" to it using custom attributes. I added four attributes to attach to products. Then re-reversed the Planning application in ODI Planning Model. I can see "Product Line" attribute load dimension (to load new attributes) in the Dimension hierarchy in ODI. However I cannot see a new Column for "Product Line" under the "Product" dimension in ODI. Am I missing something??

So adding the manual dimension seemed like it would work. However it gave me an error as it didn't recognize it when I executed the integration. In any event, deleted the planning model, recreated it and reversed it and the field showed up. Fun stuff! Thanks again.

Attribute dimension in the planning Web form

Hi All,
Is there any option to populate attribute dimension as a drop down in the Planning web form, I see option to show attribute dimension in the Other Properties page in the web form, But attribute dimension is not showing in the drop downs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
KGP

I don't think there's anything specific one does to make the attribute dimension show up on the form.
When I look at the Member Selection Entity window on my form, in the upper left hand side I see a box labelled "Members in Entity".
Directly below that is another box labelled "Attributes".
Are you sure that you really have the attributes assigned?
You can check in Classic Planning, by managing dimensions, selecting Entity, and then clicking on the Custom Attributes button. You should then see the attribute dimensions/members assigned to Entity.
You can also check in EAS.
I believe the association also appears in EPMA but it's been a while since I looked at it.

Which table containes dimension member names in planning database

I want know which table in Planning database contains dimension member names. I have tried looking at the HSP_ACCOUNT and HSP_ENTITY tables but those have member IDs only and not the member names.
Any help on this please

Might be worth having a look at http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/stupid-planning-queries-9-entity_3054.html and the related posts on extracting planning metadata.

Maintain attribute dimensions in Hyperion Planning, via ODI

How can I move/maintain attribute members in Hyperion Planning, preferably via ODI?
I have been loading an attribute dimension into Hyperion Planning, via ODI. The problem is that some children have been previously loaded to incorrect parents. However, a reload does not seem to move the children to their rightful place in the hierarchy.
There are no errors being generated.
Cheers

Are you definitely sure it is not on the planning side the issue lies, I would create a file and then use the outline loader to compare load times to see where the issue is first.

Loading Planning attribute dimension alternate hierarchies with ODI

Does anyone know how to load an attribute dimension alternate hierarchy via an ODI interface? I'm assuming that alternate hierarchies are allowed in attribute dimensions?
Edited by: jayfin on Mar 28, 2011 5:59 PM

If you are talking about created a shared hieararchy then no this is not possible as you shouldn't be able to do it in planning.
If it is just another hierarchy in your attribute dimension then you should be able to load parent/child members to build it using ODI.
Cheers

Is it possible to create an Attribute Dimension in an ASO Database?

When I create the initial attribute parent and attempt to save the outline, it gives me an error that I need to associate the attribute dimension with the base dimension. So I go to my L0 member, but the associations tab is greyed out. Any ideas if this is possible to create? Thanks!

OK, Are you doing this.
1. create the attribute dimension
2. click on the base dimesnion
3. right click on the DIMENSION NAME and selet edit properties
4. Click on the tab called Attributes. You should see the list of attribute dimensions
5. Once the dimension is associated with the base dimension, you can assign attributes to the members

Setting up Dynamic Attribute dimension.

Hi,I have a dimension for my clients and a measure dimension for sales. I want to set up an attribute dimension called Band for my Client dimension. This should be set to "Band=Large" when the sales total for the client is more than 20000 USD in the previous year (2001) or it should be set to "band=Small" if the total sales for the previous year is less than 5000 USD or else "Band=Mid" if the total sales in the previous year is between 5000 to 20000 USD. Currently, I use excel sheet from the essbase database extrace the total sales for each range and use the same as input to set the attribute dimension. Is there a easy way to do this using calc script.regardssuja.

No, there isn't. Since attributes are member based, there is no way (at least in Essbase) to dynamically assign an attribute to a member based on a data point.However, there are ways around the problem, but I can see one dilema. What if sales for a client is "large" for a member of one dimension but "small" for another? Members are not intersection based, so a client cannot be tagged as "Large" for one intersection and "Small" for another.If you want to go the attribute route, there may be a way to automate the process you described in your post - perhaps running an extract from Essbase similar to your Excel report and having a script assign the attribute value according to the sales figures.If you want to use a calc script, you could create a "BAND" member in your accounts dimension and assign it a 1 (Small) 2(Medium) or 3 (Large) depending on the sales figures.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade-------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]
