Restricting the values of a dropdown in Hyperion Planning web form

Hi,
I have two dimensions(Entity and Project) represented in the page of a Hyperion Planning web form.Is it possible to constrain the values of a dropdown(Project) based on the value selected in another dropdown(Entity) in a data form in Hyperion Planning 11.1.1?
Best Regards,
Malini

The short answer is no.
You could make separate forms per entity which could be cumbersome to manager or pershaps do something with a suppress missing form by filling in say BegBalance with a value and suppressing the intersections that were not valid.

NetRetryCount and netRetryInterval error in Hyperion Planning web form

User is getting this error when trying to save data on a web form. The error happens intermittenly and on different forms. It is difficult to pinpont the problem, as it does not happen consistently on the same form and as the administrator, I have never been able to replcate if on my computer and under the admin role. It actually causes the Hyperion Planning service to crash and we have to restart the service. The most recent time this occurred there was a rule that was running on save. We have removed the run on save for now. Does anyone know what setting need to be adjusted to eliminate this error?

Hi
You can probably try changing the value for netRetryCount and netRetryInterval in Essbase.cfg. Consider changing NetDelay too.
Essbase.cfg file is loacted in:
$HYPERION_HOME/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer/bin/Essbase.cfg

Hyperion Planning Web Forms slow

Hi All,
We are using Planning 9.3.1 and while opening web forms in the system which is just a simple form it takes too long time to open it. Can anyone suggest some ways to make opening of the web forms fast.
Thanks...

It may not be a bad idea for a few of us to get enhancement requests in asking for better support for larger forms -- seems it has to be a Planning issue as if you do the same type of activity in an Essbase lock/send it's lightning fast.
When you say the form is slow with 1750 cells, is this taking 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30, 2 min, ...?
I would say anything that's sub 10 seconds for a form that size is pretty normal. How many sparse dimensions are you using?
Unless you do have slow link to the planning server than I do not believe taking advantage of those settings will influence the speed you are seeing as if you were to use only dense dimensions with similar cell size it would be fast which tells me the performance issue is on the planning server side.
Regarding the SQL queries -- I'm not convinced that alone is the reason for poor performance on large forms. I believe it's more how planning communicates with Essbase and handles security of all the dimensions as well.
You should also realize your client (IE/Firefox) will tend to use a lot of memory on large forms -- I've seen it take up to 500mb on very large forms.
In your instance I'm not sure using suppress missing and blocks will help out a lot. The premise is you create data in say the BegBalance Period on a monthly form in the intersections which are valid for data entry with a rule/calc script. You then you turn on the suppress missing option on the form and it will restrict the number of cells which planning pulls from Essbase as well as those cells sent to the browser.

Help Needed in resolving problems with Hyperion Planning Web Forms

Hi,Can anyone help me with this problem?Problem:We are running Planning 2.3.1 I have created Webform & security(application owner has the ownership).Somehow Iam getting only 7 dimensions into webform & 1 dimension is missing in that. But whereas 8 dimensions are there in Essbase.Hsp_Rates dimension is available in essbase outline but Iam unable to see that dimension in the webform selection.And using the webform Iam unable to load any data ...the form is graded/protected.Is this happening because i dont have the requirement of 1 member from each Dimension?Please someone let me know why this is happening what might be the reason.ThanksUser

Hi,The dimension Hsp_Rates is a hide dimension used by Planning to store the exchange rates for the differentes exchanges.All the standard information is stored on HSP_InputValue member (in this dimension).When you create a web form, Planning automatically asign this member (but don't show it).Probably you can't load data because you are selected on Version dimension a Standard Botton Up version, and you only can load data on level 0 members in this type of version.If you want to load data on upper level members, then you need to create a Standard Target version (in the Version dimension) and select it in the form.Please, advice if this solve your problemClaudioBPD Solutions

Restricting the values in Drop Down list for ESS application

Hello Experts,
We are trying to restrict the values in the drop down list box for payment method field for direct deposit iview.
Here Payment is the Zlsch field.
here we are trying to have only 3 vlaues in the drop down. Do I have to do it from java code or can this be restricted on the ECC side?
Plese let me know.
Thanks,
James.

James,
What you have to do is create a DropDown ByIndex element instead of by Key and create a context node PaymentMethodNode and a value attribute PaymentAttribute under it ....then write the following code in the wdDoInit() method as :
//Add whatever values you want in the DropDown
String[] priority_options= new String[]{"Payroll/Corp/Partner Check","Employee Payroll ACH(PPD)"};
          List ListOfPriorities = new ArrayList();
          for(int i=0;i<priority_options.length;i++)
               IPrivateDetailView.IPayment_MethodNodeElement pr= wdContext.createPayment_MethodNodeElement();
               pr.setPaymentAttribute(priority_options<i>);
               ListOfPriorities.add(pr);
          wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().bind(ListOfPriorities);
          for(int e=0;e<wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().size();++e)
               wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().setSelected(e,e>=0 && e<=1);
and then write the following code in wdDoModifyView() method:
IWDDropDownByIndex di =(IWDDropDownByIndex)view.getElement("DropDownByIndex");
         di.bindTexts("Payment_MethodNode.PaymentAttribute");
then create an Action and bind it to the onselect property of the DropDown and write the following code in the onAction method :
if(wdContext.currentPayment_MethodNodeElement().getPaymentAttribute().equalsIgnoreCase("Payroll/Corp/Partner Check"))
    wdContext.currentSelectedInfotypeElement().setZlsch("C");
    else
     wdContext.currentSelectedInfotypeElement().setZlsch("P");
I am sure it will work..

Restrict the values on variables screen

I've a variable on report screen which I want to restrict the values getting from master data. Variable is a authorization variable type. So I can't set default values. I need to restrict the values for example "00D*".
At result user should see the master data list values which starts with "00D".
Cheers,
Yigit

SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT is not intended for this, only to restrect the kind of sign and options which are allowed in the select-options, you can restrict to single values, range or disable exclusion, this kind of restriction.
For your requirement, you have to restrict the dropdown values using FM VRM_SET_VALUES. (use the search tools in [forums|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/search.jspa?objID=c42&q=VRM_SET_VALUES] and [wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/dosearchsite.action?searchQuery.queryString=VRM_SET_VALUES&searchQuery.spaceKey=conf_global])

How to restrict the values in seach helps

Dear All,
I am new to the BSP concept.I have a requirement
where in the BSP i need to restrict the values of the search help.i.e. 2 values are coming in the help i need to display only 1 value.
can anybody please explain how to do it.
Cheers,

Edited by: Craig Cmehil on Sep 2, 2008 8:21 AM

Hi,
I assume that you read values for the search help with function 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST' and in a later step you display values with <htmlb:tableview>. If that is true and the function is delivering too many records as you mention, you could then restrict the output table of values like this:
TABLES mara.
DATA: mytable TYPE TABLE OF ddshretval WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA l_repid TYPE syrepid.
PARAMETERS p_mtart LIKE mara-mtart.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST
FOR p_mtart.
l_repid = sy-repid.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
tabname = 'MARA'
fieldname = 'MTART'
dynpprog = l_repid
callback_program = l_repid
callback_form = 'F4CALLBACK'
TABLES
return_tab = mytable
EXCEPTIONS
field_not_found = 1
no_help_for_field = 2
inconsistent_help = 3
no_values_found = 4
OTHERS = 5.

Restrict the values in the Query Designer

Hi Gurus,
I want to Restrict PLANT or SALES ORG values in the Query Designer, in the Query, PLANT has selected in the rows and having variable and SALES ORG is display attribute of the PLANT. In this scenario How can we Restrict the values?
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi.

Hi Ravi,
You cannot restrict values on the display attributes. Better change it to navigational attribute and check the box as navigational in the cube.

How can I restrict the values obtained in a search help?

Hi guys,
The thing is that there is a function module that according to the user name, and a material number, it tells wheter the user has permission to see the material or not.
It is possible to use that function module to restrict the values of the search help?
Thanks

Hello Raulie,
1. If the function module is not much complex then copy the same Functionmodule into your custom name ,...
Then you would have the control at your end,,,,
2. If the funciton module is very complex then fetch the data manually and create a custom f4 help ... to fetch the data use the similar logic of the function module so that data does not get deleted.
Thanks,

Thanks in advacnce

Hello,
JohnGoodwin is correct you will need to create a Planning application and also generate your HspJSHome.properties and make sure it is in the right location to be picked up by the start up which should be something like:
C:\Hyperion\HyperionPlanning\AppServer\InstalledApps\Tomcat\5.0.28\HyperionPlanning\webapps\HyperionPlanning\WEB-INF\classes
Also if you are starting the JVM as a service it might not have all the correct CLASSPATH information and if you have not already you might try starting the JVM using the startHyperionPlanning.bat file from the command line. Many times you will get better output from that when troubleshooting.

Accessing new application using direct Hyperion Planning web client URL

I added new Hyperion Planning application. From standard workspace URL [http://demodrive:19000/workspace/index.jsp], I can now access new application.
However, when I use the direct Hyperion Planning web client URL [http://demodrive:8300/HyperionPlanning/LogOn.jsp], new application is not included as one of available applications to select. What am I missing?

Hi,
I find it a little strange that you can see the planning application through workspace but not directly, I would usually expect problems the other way round.
One thing to check for if that you don't have multiple planning instances, check in the configuration utility, you could have an instance pointing to one set of apps and another instance pointing to a different set of apps.
Though saying this I would expect workspace to show the same apps as going directly.
Cheers

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.

Restricting the values based on keyfigures.

Hi All,
Good Morning..
I have a query on Bex reporting.
I want to calculate transit aging.Just i want to find the difference between the two dates.
I have one more field called quantity.
I want to calculate the difference of dates only whose quantity is "ZERO". I can restrict the keyfigures based on characteristics. But for my case i want to restrict the keyfigures based on Quantity keyfigures.
Is it possible in Query designer.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Siva.

Hi,
p.o number ______p.odate_______consimentdate______qty__aging
87000001______01.02.2009______02.02.2009________1___ nil
87000002______05.02.2009______07.02.2009________0____( current date - consiment date)
Craete Two formula Variables with replacement path in columns..
1. One is for PO date and replace with Key.
2. Other is forconsiment date and replace with Key.
then just drag and drop in two columns in report and see the output. Then create one formula and do substraction. In another column you craete one more formula and use If condition
Column A = p.odate (with Replacemet variable value)
Column B = consimentdate (with Replacemet variable value)
Column C = B-A
Column D = If QTY <> 0 then C
Thanks
