Sample Planning Application Doesn't Create Entity Dimension Members in Essb

Hello all,
I created a SAMPLE application in planning and then did a "refresh database" so that it would create the outline in Essbase. When I goto Essbase and expand the outline I see seven dimensions: HSP_Rates(3), Account(1), Period(2), Year(4), Scenario(1), Version(1), Currency(2), Entity. It seems to me that not all members are appearing in the outline, I think Accounts is supposed to have 19 members, in my case it only has 1. Scenario only has the member "Current". Entity doesn't have any members at all. Can anybody shed light on why this might be the case? This isn't the way a sample application is supposed to be is it ?

hi John,
I was hoping you'd reply to this thread! Yes I did initialize the sample planning application after you told me to, and yes I am using Classic Planning...I dont have EPMA installed, it requires IIS and all that so there were some constraints on my part. I'm still getting the same error.
So a quick rehash: I reset my system clock to 2007, successfully created the sample app, then refreshed the database (Adminstration -> Manage Database), and then when I look at the outline that was built in Essbase I got HSP Rates (3), Accounts (1), Period (2) Year (4), Scenario (1), Version (1), Currency (2) and Entity with no children. Based on Rittman Mead's blog, I believe I should have more than that. And when I try to load the data it tells me E01 is an unknown member and the data load fails.
What could be the problem ?

Unable to deploy Sample Planning application

Hi All,
I am trying to deploy the sample Planning Application 11.1.1.3 by the help of OBE. When I click on Finish, I am getting an error as below:
"An error occurred while processing this page. Check the log for details"
I checked that all my services are up and in fact I am not able to understand where to trace the error information. I checked in logs folder, but was not helpful. Please advice how to resolve this issue.

Hi John,
As suggested checked the HyS9Planning-sysout.log and noticed that it have some privileges issue. Now I granted the user "budplan" with Resource and Connect privileges other than DBA and restarted the Planning Services and it worked fine and I was abe to create the Planning Application. The error I got previously is as below:
Connection to the datasource created successfully.
createSchema hyperion.jdbc.base.BaseBatchUpdateException: [Hyperion][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-01950: no privileges on tablespace 'PLANNINGAPPLICATIONS'
hyperion.jdbc.base.BaseBatchUpdateException: [Hyperion][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-01950: no privileges on tablespace 'PLANNINGAPPLICATIONS'
Thanks John for your support.

Sample Planning Application

From the planning document, I only see the way to create sample planning using classic method, do we have a document to create the sample planning application using EPMA?

Hi,
I find the quickest way to create the sample application with EPMA is, create the classic sample planning application and then convert the classic planning application to EPMA, it is a simple process to convert (it is called application upgrade in EPMA)

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.

Workforce Planning: Relation between Employee and Entity dimension

Hi,
I was looking at the Workforce Planning module and the hierarchy/forms/rules that come built with it. One of the major points I noted was that the forms showed data for all employees (with a suppress missing data condition applied) so only those employees showed up against a particular entity for whom there was data.
I was just curious if accidentally a user enters any data for a particular employee against an incorrect location (maybe using the excel add-in), this will show the associated costs for that employee for the wrong entity.
Is there any way that I can create a relationship against these two dimensions which can restrict employees to a particular entity member?

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 :)

Thank you for your reply.
With your help, I can verify it easier rather than creating dataform to verify it.
I have resolved the question now, the root cause is I had used the wrong parameter, shouldn't add '/N' in the command. for /N is a dry run to check whether there are error in CSV file, it won't perform metadata load.
If no error occured, run the command without /N, then the metadata load will be performed.
I refer to this artical,

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,
- Jake

Created Planning Application in V4 but cant login

I have this error with my new planning application.
I created a Planning Application using Classic planning/Planning Desktop. It created and pushed into Essbase, but when it tried to login into it using the Web URL it shows my new application in Apps list but does nothing when i try to get in.
Do i need to change any properties file ?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks folks.

Probably the app is not started. Start the application through the Essbase admin console or through a essbase client.

Multiple Instances of Sample Planning App Slowing down Server?

I am trying to work with the sample planning application that came with the installation of EPM system 11. In order to see what effect my changes have in the application and in an attempt to understand the functionality of the Planning, I have created several instances of the sample application so I can have a control instance, and several that I am changing. I currently have created and initialized 4 versions of the Sample Applicaiton, and recently the server is freezing. It will be working fine for about 5 minutes, and then essentially freeze for 10 minutes. Monitoring the Performance on the machine shows that the CPU usage spikes to about 80% during the freeze times, and then drops to below 10%. Does anyone know if having multiple Sample Applications on a single Essbase Server may be causing this problem? Thank you.

I see another thread on this subject. Thanks.

Hi,
I have seen this sort of issue when there is not enough resources, what sort of system are you running Hyperion on.
You should be able to access planning directly through http://<planning machine>:8300/HyperionPlanning/ and to create apps http://<planning machine>:8300/HyperionPlanning/AppWizard.jsp

Classic Planning applications vs PMA Applications

Hello Experts,
"For Classic Planning applications, databases are created and maintained within Planning. For
Performance Management Architect applications, applications are created in Performance
Management Architect and deployed to Planning."
Can anyone explain me, what is better to install --> Classic Planning Application or Performance Management Architect Application? Which is easier to work, what are the advantages and disadvantages? I´ve planned to install Planning 11.1.1.3.
Thanks a lot!

Here is my 2 cents.
I just did EPMA and was told by many that they aren't using it or haven't used it so didn't have much back up.
But I have to tell you I like EPMA much better that Classic planning once you get the hang of it. Also this is where Oracle is going with the product you might as well jump on the band wagon sooner rather than later (ie get used to Classic Planning then having to make the switch).
I find that Classic Planning requires a lot of clicks to get some stuff done and is a bit more streamline in EPMA.
That said EPMA still needs a lot of work. For example your Alias are kind of hidden in Dimension mode. Where I would rather the default be visible instead of having to go to alias and hit F2 to see 1 or all of them.
One of the biggest reasons I like EPMA is Calc Manager. Business Rules sucks if you have to do a lot of calc (way way too many clicks). So as soon as I saw the power of Calc Manager I will never go back to Classic planning and business rules.
Still EPMA is where things are going so you should go there first unless you find a bug then fall back to classic.
One approach people have done though is to create the environment in classic planning and migrate it to EPMA. But if you don't know classic just load direct to EPMA in my opinion.
Let's see what others say.

Planning application deployment error

Hi,
I am using EPM 11.1.1 version for deploying the planning application. I created Hypplan application in the EPM. when I deployed the application and tried to see the outline in the essbase. unfortunately outine has not been built properly in Essbase. For example:
Time dimension member has not been created properly. Ideally time dimension should contain Qtr1 Qtr2 and Qtr3 members. However only Qtr1 and Qtr2 member has been created in the Essbase outline.
However, EPM shared Dimension library contains all the Qtr member(Qtr1,Qtr2 and Qtr3) in the Time dimension. I am not sure why this was not reflected in the Essbase outline.
Any help is appriciated!
thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jamshed

As a general rule, I would recommend that you only share the dimensions that you MUST share. These would include volatile hierarchies (ones that change frequently) that are shared across multiple apps. For a hierarchy like Period (one that never changes), what's the point in sharing it? Because it never changes, you don't really realize any maintenance benefits from sharing it.
The ability to share hierarchies makes a nice sales pitch, but in reality, it can become a pain. In my experience, hierarchies eventually start to diverge across apps for business reasons.
I'm sure there are simple apps where sharing is useful, but I haven't seen many.
