Security on Year dimension in Hyperion Planning.

Need to enable security on Year dimension on Hyperion Planning for below requirement. I know that we cannot enable security on year dimenison in Hyperion Planning, but want know if there is any custom solution.
Requirement:
IT users to have write access to Scenario: FY12FCSTJUN for year FY12 for period JUN to DEC & FY13 for Period OCT to SEP. (Calender year starts at OCT of every year)
Normall users they want to have read access to Scenario: FY12FCSTJUN for year FY12 for period JUN to DEC and write access to Scenario: FY12FCSTJUN for Year FY13 for Period OCT to DEC
1)we can modify the start period, end period, start yr and End yr for FY12FCSTJUN Scenario dimension to make FY12 FY12FCSTJUN as read/write for Specific year, but it won't meet the requirement.
2)I have already tried making modification to the Planning respository table ( changed the value for ENFORCE_SECURITY parameter to 1 for DIM_ID 38 for Year in the HSP_Dimension table)on one of VM environments,but it won't enable security on the Year dimension.
3)We can create a Budget scenario to achieve above, but it involves too many changes accross all the webforms and B rules, so we want to see if there is any custom solution available.
Any suggestion/workaround to resolve the issue?

Oracle will be releasing a patch in dec 2012 to fix/enable the security on year dimension. this patch is applicable for 11.1.2.2 version.

  • Can we delete the member from year dimension in hyperion planning??

    Hi All,
    Unfortunatley when adding the dimension members it have to add 2 yreas but i click 22 so its added 22 years in the dimension.
    so i want to delete the extra members from the year dimension. is it possible in planning to delete year members
    please if possible let me know how it is possible???
    Cheers,
    kittu.

    It can be done by SQL but it is not supported, the safest option is just to restore from backup before the changes were made

  • 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.

  • Remove access for each member of a particular dimension from Hyperion Planning Applciation

    We are trying to remove access for groups for each member of a particular dimension( which has more than 1000 members) of a Hyperion Planning application. We are going through Administration->Manage DImensions -> member , Under security click view and select the group and then remove access But the problem is there are more than 1000 members under this dimension , so it will be time consuming to go to each member and then remove access for the group. Is there any other way we can do this?
    Also is there a way to bulk delete native directory groups from Hyperion Shared services, instead of deleting each native group manually one by one?

    The reaso we want to go for Relational tables is that when we did Exportsecurity utility for that planning application  and imported back the SecFile.txt without doing any changes ,still it errored out giving errors like :
    "The following access not imported:-"PLN-ORG-0278-999 Bureau Strtgc & Oprtnl ""PLNning",0278-999,READWRITE,MEMBER due toInvalid user name found in the file."
    It is erroing out even if we did not do any modifications to the secfile.txt.
    Moreover there are more than 1000 members for which we have to remove access permissions manually one by one. It is a tedious process.
    So we are looking at other options like , which relational tables have got Native directory groups information, and the sql queires we can execute to remove the unwanted Native directory groups from Shared Services?

  • How to customise the Period dimension in Hyperion planning

    Hi Guru's
    We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2
    We have an requirement to customise the period dimension as follows,
       -Period
         -HalfYear1
           -Q1
           -Q2
         -HalfYear2
           -Q3
           -Q4
    How to add HalfYear in the period Dimension..Please help me with this..
    Thanks

    While creating application what did you choose to have for Period Dimension , is it Periods by default or you did go for custom ?
    Also check hp_admin guide page 104
    Period Dimension Properties
    Period, Parent, Alias: Default, Alias: T1, Data Storage, Two Pass
    Calculation, Description, Formula, UDA, Smart List, Data Type,
    Operation, Type, Start Period, End Period, Aggregation (Plan1),
    Aggregation (Plan2), Aggregation (Plan3)
    Notes:
    . For Period, Parent should be specified for most update operations.
    . Type (such as Base or Rollup) cannot be changed for existing members. You can add and
    update Rollup and Alternate members. You can update BegBalance and Base time periods
    (for example, to add an alias). You cannot add or modify YearTotal time period. The DTS
    Period type is recognized, but is not supported by the Outline Load utility. If you try to load
    DTS information, the utility displays an error in the log file.
    . Start Period and End Period are valid for Rollup Period types.

  • Can't open form and dimension on Hyperion Planning

    Hi,
    I am working on Hyperion version 11.1.1.3 on my client's environment (Microsoft Windows Server 2003).
    There are two servers: one is for database and essbase, the other one is for reporting, foundation, and Planning.
    Since a month ago this customer experiences this problem:
    when login using admin user to Hyperion Planning (port 19000 and 8300 both can be used), the menu on the top is loaded but the rest are blank.
    I tried to open form by using the left menu but also doesn't work, still blank. I also managed to try open the dimension, it also can't be loaded
    restarted service and server also done, but doesn't work as well.
    nb: this error only occurs on admin id, I tried to create another user account and give the same provision with admin, the id works well, no problem and no blank case.
    anyone could please advice what happened and solution, I give my thanks to you.

    Hi Rahul,
    thanks for your reply. I couldn't find the table you mentioned.
    In my planning table schema, there are:
    - HSPSYS_ACTION
    - HSPSYS_APP_CLUSTER_DTL
    - HSPSYS_APPLICATION
    - HSPSYS_CLUSTER
    - HSPSYS_DATASOURCE
    - HSPSYS_PI_INFO
    - HSPSYS_PROPERTIES
    which one contains the value that you mentioned above?
    many thanks.

  • Managing large entity dimension in Hyperion Planning

    Hi experts,
    Here is my situation :
    - Planning version : 9.3.1.3
    - OS : Windows 2003 Server 32-bits
    - Repository : SQL Server 2005
    - Application with 3 plans, 12 dimensions. Larger dimension is "Entity" with 40,000 members.
    - No workflow is used
    Here is my problem :
    - I can add without any problem members in my entity dimension but, when I want to cut/paste or delete any member, Planning process uses a lot of memory on the server and when the limit is reached (parameter in the registry database can't be higher : 1622M), process freeze with an out of memory error. So, I restart service and delete or cut/paste is not done.
    - Cut/paste and delete on others dimensions work fine.
    So, could anyone give me advices about my situation ?
    Thanks
    Julien

    Hi,
    Patch was a good idea, but we was already in 9.3.1.14.
    We finally found the solution :
    Entity is really "linked" to scenario and version by the workflow functionnality.
    As we don't use it, we disabled for process management each scenario and version.
    MIRACLE : Thanks to this action, when we delete an entity, memory consumption is low and process quick.
    Conclusion : Delete process of entity dimension controls a lot of things in the repository, using a lot of memory. So, if a scenario or a version is not used in a workflow process, it is very important to discard it from process management.
    Cheers

  • Create a Total over Year Dimension

    Does anybody have an idea on how to create a total over the Year dimension in Hyperion Planning (11.1.2 - Still using the Classic App since EPMA components seem tio not working properly on windows server 2008 R2 x64.)
    or has an idea which of the following would be a valid approch since I cannot define aggregation to the Year Node in Planning. No addition seems to be possible possible. Background is to get the total over 5 up to 15 years for a long term capital expenditure strategy.
    The following ideas came to mind:
    1.) FY09 + FY10+ FY11 as a dynamic calc on the last year in the system (as a formula)
    2.) Create a calculation rule that aggregates Year (but i cannot seem to be able to change the years to addition
    I would appreciate your input or any additional ideas.
    Best Regards
    Andre

    Hi,
    Yes, you can't create aggregation levels in Year dimension. But you have period dimension in which you can create dynamically calculated base time periods which you can use combined with No Year.
    So create a member in Period Dimension called Total of 3 Years. Place a member formula in it (IF(@ISMBR("No Year") FY09+FY10+FY11; ENDIF).
    You can use this period combined with No Year.
    Cheers,
    Alp

  • Planning Workflow: year dimension security?

    In the workflow system within Planning we find the options to choose a Scenario and a Version at first and then choose a specific part of the Entity dimension to work on within the workflow system. We would somehow also like to lock down the Year dimension. The problem is that our financials people can now, when they are part of the workflow, change the data in all years within their part of the entity dimension, but we don't want them to be able to change current or previous budgets.
    Of course, we could take the years out of the forms, but since we also have the actuals in the Planning database our financials people should be able to read all years (so they can also read the actuals in all years, and they are of course allowed to see previous budgets), but only write in specific years (on the budgets).
    Is there a best practice on how to do this?

    Hi,
    What you can do is change the start year/period - end year/period in the scenario dimension administration.
    Say you only wanted budget entry for FY09
    You would go into the scenario dimension administation
    Edit Budget set the Start Year to FY09 and end End year to FY09
    On the forms the previous years will still be shown but they will be read only and they will only be able to input into FY09 budget.
    You can change the other scenario members in just the same way.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Security at a dimension level in a Planning Application (ver 9.3.1)

    Hi,
    I'm dealing with the Assign Access process in the Dimensions pane.
    Is it possible set access at dimension level?
    How can I set the member Account (root of Account Dimension) visible for only a subset of user?
    Thanks in advance.
    Stefano

    Hi Stefano,
    I'm currently using Hyperion Planning version 4.0.2. I tried using the ImportSecurity.exe file to update the security for the top member in Entities dimension (ie the dimension name itself) but it kept giving me this error:
    Record not processed -Finance,Entities,READ,MEMBER- Invalid Member name.
    All lines in Import Security file were successfully parsed.
    No records inserted into the database.
    1 Lines were not processed by the application due to errors.
    My secfile.txt file looks like this:
    Finance,Entities,READ,MEMBER
    Am I doing anything wrongly?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Hyperion Planning : Period Dimension in Days

    I need to realize a period dimension in days! Moreover i need to have an organization in week whic include the existence of week day (Sunday, Monday..) to make a comparison beetween all Sunday in differnet Year.
    Is it possible to have a native calendar function in Hyperion Planning, or Does exist another way to solve this problem?
    Thanks

    Best practice would be to use Period dimension down to weeks then create a 'Days' dimension which holds the weekdays, this will help your blocksize too and will allow the reporting requirements you have mentioned.

  • Cannot find Version, Year, Period dimension while reversing Planning App

    Hi
    I am using Planning application as target for dimension loading.
    When i try to reverse the planning app using RKM Hyperion Planning.
    On reversing i could not find Version, Year & Period as datastores after reverse.
    Is it dependent on planning application version or ODI version.
    I am using 10.1.3.5 for ODI & 11.1.1.3 for Planning.
    Just to update, i was able to get Version as datastore on reversing, but didnt do anything special in that case.
    Now i am facing the problem, that on trying to reverse, i could not get Version, Year, Period as datastores.

    Hi,
    I believe if you are using 11.1.1.3 then it should reverse the extra datastores by default, as far as I am aware the core java files for planning were updated in 11.1.1.3 for this to happen.
    Cheers

  • Help! Hyperion Planning Dimension formula no longer works after name change

    Hi,
    I am having an issue with Hyperion Planning. I recently changed an account's dimension name from ASales & Property Taxes (D) to AProperty Taxes (D). However, the original name was used in a formula of another account. When I ran my refresh I got the following error:      
    Error [1200354] detected in member formula for member "AFacilities Costs as a % of Revenue".
    So I went into planning and went to the referenced account and looked at the formula. The formula still had the old member name ASales & Property Taxes (D) so I changed the formula to the new name AProperty Taxes (D). However, when I went to validate the formula I got the following error message:
    Error compiling formula for [] (line 1): expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["ASales & Property Taxes (D)"]) in function []
    However, my formula has the new name not the old name. Here is my formula:
    ("AMaintenance (D)" + "AMaintenance (SG&A)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (D)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (SG&A)" + "AOperating Leases (D)" + "AOperating Leases (SG&A)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (D)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (SG&A)" + "AProperty Taxes (D)" + "AProperty Taxes (SG&A)" + "ASecurity (D)" + "ASecurity (SG&A)" + "AInsurance (D)" + "AInsurance (SG&A)")/ARevenue;
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please help, as a result of this issue none of my accounts or clients are getting pulled into the Balance Sheet causing it to not tie with Oracle :( Thanks!!

    Hi,
    What happens if you try and refresh with updating the formula to reference the correct name?
    You won't be able to validate the formula because the member does not yet exist in essbase until the refresh has completed.
    If you have problems you could always, remove the formula and store it, refresh so the new member gets created, then put the formula back and refresh again.
    Cheers

  • How to migrate dimension member text files from ODI to Hyperion Planning

    Hi
    We are having an issue with ODI that it was not connecting to planning.
    Later with some instructions from oracle, we have tried to set some RMI path in websphere and we tested the RMI connectivity test.
    It was successfully connecting to planning.
    Then we want to test that ODI is connecting to planning or not.
    For this I think if anyone can send the doc relating to dimension member upload thru ODI to hyperion planning using text files, it will be helpful.
    Appreciate if anyone can help us on this.
    Please communicate to [email protected] for doc sending.
    Thanks
    Rajesh Reddy

    Go through His(John's) earlier blogs which very clearly explains how to get connected & keep the ball rolling.
    If you're so scared to use the existing connections, you may want to-
    i) Set up new Master & work repository;
    ii) Do few quick configurations from Topology Manager;
    iii) Create your project, models, Interface;
    Let us know if something isn't still clear.
