Saving data in Planning web form with about 270 columns failed

Hi all and please help!
We developed a number of planning forms with a lot of columns (business requirement:() and faced issues with entering data in both web form and excel via smartview.
As I undersood already that it's not about 'service.olap.dataQuery.grid.maxColumns' property in essbase.properties file for APS.
For test I developed some planning forms with different number of columns (and only one row) from 255 to 300 and saving stops to work when the number of columns exceeds 257 columns. It's rather close to default value for maxColumns property=255 but not equal. I essbase log we could see short spreadsheeting request and then restarting of Essbase server.
And at the same time if we transposed columns into rows - saving works properly.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Gregory Taxelman

Hi, Alp
Thank you for you answer. I've checked your link and it's amazing that information like this was written not in admin but in user guide.
Another thing i've wondered that it depends on setting of Calculate Currencies calc script (run on save). But it's just a think men must know and do I think.
Unfortunately I can't see how does it work, although I've done this settings.
If I set local currency for one of the entity as GBP then I can enter data in GBP of course and Calculate Currencies script runs ok. I can see exact values for local (GBP) and default currency (USD) just on planning form as I set currency dim in page.
But in my case when i set local currency for this entity back to USD entered value in GBP always changed back to USD regardless of Calculate Currencies script settings. It happens during save on the form
Can I get a bit more information about some other settings to be done to make this functionality work?
BR,
Vladimir

Is there a tool that exports and imports Planning Web Forms with securities

Hi,
Is there a tool that exports and imports Planning Web Forms with securities?
Besides Planning FormDefUtil.cmd
OS: Windows2003
Planning Version: 921
Thx

I don't think there is any one utility that exports both forms AND security. In version 9.3.1, the ExportSecurity.cmd will export dimensional security and form security. However I seem to recall that earlier versions only gave you the dimensional security, and not the form security. Unfortunately, I don't recall at which version the change was made.
Have you given the ExportSecurity.cmd utility a shot?
Hope this helps,

Anyone have face the same problem..?? and how to fixed it..??

There is a known issue that sounds like the problem you are experiencing
10358200 - If a formula column exists in a data form, selecting the Suppress missing option does not hide rows that do not contain data.

Planning web form error "This form contains unsaved data. Select OK to cont

I've got a user that suddenly gets an error on a planning web form. She opens the form and enters data but when she tries to submit gets the following error “This form contains unsaved data. Select OK to continue without saving data, or Cancel to discard operation” and then it takes her back to the blank form. This form worked for her yesterday but not today. She has tried shutting down hyperion, even rebooting her machine but no luck. Any ideas?

Hi,
Make sure scripting isn't disabed in hte web browser.

Suppress members with certain UDA in Planning Web Forms

Hi All,
Can someone suggest me a way to suppress members with certain UDA's in Planning Web Forms. We have few members (associated with a UDA) which we don't want to show up if we do a IDESC of a member, is there any way to address this.
Thanks...

The only way you could do this is if you made the form suppress missing and/or suppress block and then copied data into BegBalance of the accounts you wanted to show. You can also hide that column although hidden columns still show for SmartView in all released version through 11.1.1.2.
Planning doesn't have a way to make use of UDA's with forms in any released version although it would be a really nifty feature.

Need a process to update BSO Planning Web form into an ASO Cube

Need a process to update information from the BSO Planning Web form into an ASO Report Cube every (5) five minutes.
Please advise

Thanks here is Part 2 of my questions
Details:
User Input data into a web form for Intersection are the following:
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account AAAA, 1000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account BBBB, 2000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account TTTT, 4000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account ZZZZ, 7000
Design Question:
In the ASO Reporting Cube
AAAA and BBBB are both at level 0 in both cube
TTTT and ZZZZ are being loaded to a parent which is Level 1
MY Issue with the Design Question ???
ASO Cubes can only be load at a level 0.
So how can I complete this task, what are my option:
My thinking process is the XRef Calc Script could push data the cube, than by built a maxl scripts that would run the Calc script and put this scripts into some kind of system scheduler running the Maxl Scripts Every (5) Mintues
or am i way off base here ????
Please advise
Thanks in Advance

Member selection (Member + UDA) on Planning Web-forms

Hi all,
Is it possible to select members and UDAs together on Planning Web-forms similar to member selection on Financial Reports?
Example:
Members: ILvl0Descendants ("Total Net Income")
UDA: ALLOCACT
I didn't see this option on the member selection window, but I wanted to make sure that I am not missing anything.
Thanks,
Mehmet

Hi,
UDA does not work in data forms. If you want that property to be there in the data form, please create an attribute dimension with the same children as UDA and attach the attribute members to that dimension.
Thanks.

Hiearchy in Planning Web Form Collapes after user Submits in SmartView

We currently have Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3.0 & SmartView 11.1.1.3.00
I have a end user who opens a Planning Web Form via SmartView. When form is opened the Hiearchy in the rows are fully expanded.
When the user hits "Submit Data" the hiearchy collapes to the top Parent level.
I have confirmed that the Planning Webform does NOT have suppress hiearchy selected.
Is there some setting in SmartView or Planning that I am missing that would account for this?
I would appreciate it if anyone had any suggestions.

Hi,
I faced some issue similar to this in past with version 9.2, As iam updating security on planning and it works fine for data forms when i perform security refresh.
but when user access those from excel the filters doesn't get update on EAS filters. after two hours investigation even though i update some filters on planning
side after security refresh it doesn't get affected on essbase filters. the reason when security refresh is done the filters getting in to cache memory and doing nothing on essbase, so work around is to delete one particular filter on essbase and then perform security refresh so that it gets updated.
Let me know if this is helpful and works.
Thanks,
Red

Planning Web Forms Performance

Hi,
I am working on a Planning app that has a very large "Products" dimension. It has around 26000 members in it.
I have a web form in which Market is in Page & Products in rows. I also display the attribute association Product Type for Product.
Both Product & Market are sparse dimensions.
I tried both Suppress Missing Data & Missing Blocks in the Form definition.
Suppress Missing Block is a bit quicker (as expected), but it doesn't display the attribute associations for Product.
Suppress Missing Data on the other hand displays attribute associations, but it is very very slow because of the Products dimension size.
Suppress Missing Block doesn't display attributes, is this correct? I don't see this in the documentation? Am I missing anything?
If I have to go with Suppress Missing Data, Is there a way to increase planning web form performance by adding cache or any tweaking similar to Essbase Reporting?
Appreciate your thought.
Thanks,
Ethan.

Cameron & David,
Yes. This is a very strange req. The Product line (26K) are all Level-0 members & there is no fixed Product to Market mapping. Any combination is possible.
Each market will have only few Products presence. I can say around 100 is the max I have seen, but the requirement is any product can come in any market.
I load the cube with actuals from a different source system & users update the forecast data/ drivers to calculate the data.
So the web form itself is not huge. It is just the potential number of possible combinations that is slowing down the web form.
I am still in the initial stages of Development. I am sure I'll have tough time in Calcs, Aggs & Reports by Product.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ethan.

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
Thank You

Error while opening planning web Forms

Hi ,
I am facing the below error whenever I am trying to open the planning web form.
"Target Unreachable, 'formManagement' returned null
ADF_FACES-60097:For more information, please see the server's error log for an entry beginning with: ADF_FACES-60096:Server Exception during PPR, #40"
Could you please help me on this?

Have a read of the following support doc which is pretty much the same - "Hyperion Planning Error "Target Unreachable, 'getFormsForFolder' returned null -- ADF_FACES-60097" When Opening Web Forms (Doc ID 1527253.1)"

Planning Web Form Percentage

I've tried several things, but can't get a percentage to show up on my planning web form. I've tagged the member as a percentage, which based on documentation says it will then show as a percentage on the web form.
Any ideas would be appreciated?
Thanks!

Hi,
First make sure the member has a data type of percentage (which you have done).
Then you will need to set the evaluation order - Administration > Dimensions > Evaluation Order then select the dimension and move it to the right move window. Save.
You should then be able to enter in percentage on the data form.
Cheers

Planning Web Forms

I have a Planning application where the users are inputting data into a web form for both direct and indirect employee information. The form has the employee dimension in the row and the account dimension in the columns. The employee dim in the form is set for Level 0 of total Employee and based off of security the user only sees his level 0 employees, which would be all his employees (direct and indirect). Here is an example of the employee hierarchy.
Total Employee
........Position 1 (security is @idesc Position 1 and web form is set for Lev 0 of Total Employee)
.............Employee a
.............Employee b
.............Employee c
.............Position 2
..................Employee d
..................Employee e
So…currently the Position 1 user will see all level 0. His directs (Emp a,b,c) and indirects (Emp d & e).
The users would like two distinct web forms. One illustrating direct employees and the other indirect employees. How can this be accomplished without having to create individual web forms by user account? There are several hundred users…

Hi,
You can do this by assigning attribute to all level 0 employees (direct, indirect) and placing attribute members to the rows section of the form.
So in the first form, place Direct only to the rows and in the second one place only Indirect.
