SET mode processing versus ROW for Dimension targets

Hi all,
In OWB 10.2.0.2 I am using a relational implementation of a Dimension with 9 levels (and 2 hierarchies).
I selected target load order and have run the mapping with SET processing and ROW based (target only).
The problem is that the results are not the same! Both run without errors but SET processing does not correctly associate the levels together in the dimension. When I run ROW based, the levels do connect properly. They are supposed to be equivalent - there is nothing in the code that is "row based only" in terms of transformations and Control center reports no errors in either case (though we all know that Control center sucks at error reporting). Logs also show no errors.
Has anyone else seen this and more importantly is there a workaround?
The Dimension has 17 million rows and takes 15 hours in SET processing.
Row processing takes 3 days of processing to complete.
I've logged an SR but have more faith in the responses here than in Support.
This has been a 3 SR day for me with OWB - an average day I suppose. I have applied the patch and was hoping for more stability and consistency. Guess not.
Any help would be appreciated. Also, what escalation procedures do you use when your SRs end up in documented and undocumented BUG numbers with no solutions?

Mike,
we have several dimensions that work fine. One is a custom time dimension with day / month / quarter / year levels. The other has 6 levels, split between two hierarchies that are each 4 levels deep.
Haven't had any problems at all with them. Can't speak to running them in row based mode - because we've never had any issues, I haven't really even tried it.
One problem that I have run into that may apply in your case - is it possible that you have different parent/child links for a given dimension value in the data? For instance, is it possible that you have one row of "source" data that says JANUARY rolls up to QTR1, but a second row in the same data that has JANUARY rolling up to QTR2? Something like this might produce exactly what you're seeing - you'd get hosed up results in the SET mode, but in ROW mode it would apply those changes one by one and potentially not have the problems (depending on how the data was sorted)
We saw this when one our our maps tried to map more than 1 description to a single dimension value (we had an "UNKNOWN" dimension value, but we were writing > 1 description to it accidentally). In that case, our loads would usually fail with an error message saying something about "Couldn't get a stable set of source data" or somesuch.
Hope this helps,
Scott

Loading the different result sets in the same sequence for the target table

Dear all,
I have 5 tables say A,B,C,D as my source and i made 3 joins P,Q,R .the result sets of these 3 joins are loading into a target table X but with 3 different targets with same table name.
I created one sequence say Y as my target table has primary key and mapped to three different targets for the same target table which i need to load.
But after deployed and executed successfully ,i am able to load the data from three join result sets with differeent sequence numbers.
I am looking to load data like this.
If First Result set P has 10 Records,SEcond Result Set Q Has 20 and the third result set has 30 records then while loading data into first target it creates the seq for the 10 records from 1..10 and while loading the data for second result set ,it creates the sequence from 11 ...20 and while loading the third target with the third result set it creates the sequence from 21 ----30.
But i am looking to load the three result sets in the sequence 1to 10 but not like creating fresh sequence for each result set.
how can we achieve this in owb?
any solution for this will be appreciated.
thank you
kumar

My design is like following
SRC1
---->Join1--------------------------->Target1( Table X)<-----Seq1
SRC2
SRC3
----> Join2----------->Target2(Table X)<----Seq1
SRC4
-----> Join3 -------> Target3(Table X)<-----Seq1
SRC5
Here the three 3 targets are for the same Table X as well sequence is same i.e seq1
If the First Join has 10 rows ,Seq1 generates sequence in 1 to 10 while loading target1
But while loading second target,Same Seq1 is generating new sequence from 11 but i am looking to load target2 and target 3 starting from sequence 1 but not from 11 or so.
As per your comments :
you want to load 3 sources to one target with same sequence numbers?
yes
Are you doing match from the other two sources on first source by id provided by sequence (since this is the primary key of the table)?
No
can you please tell me how to approach for this?
Thank You

Set ONLY the font size for the target PCs

I know that I must include a custom ini file to specify font name AND size for target PCs (the ones where the EXE runs).
For example
appFont="Tahoma" 13
dialogFont="Tahoma" 13
systemFont="Tahoma" 13
Is there a way to specify only the font size and not the name? (i.e. I want to use the specific font for a given PC, but I want to set its size).
I tried with
appFont= 13
but this setting is ignored.
When I used
appFont= "0" 13
the size was correctly set, but what does the "0" mean?

Hi Vix,
Yes I believe this will work.
You could confirm by the fact,
The default Application font is the Message Box Font which is Segoi UI and Tahoma for Windows VISTA and XP machines respectively. To verify this this on a Windows XP machine, complete the following steps:
Open Start»Settings»Control Panel»Display
On the Appearance tab, press Advanced
Select Message Box from the Item: pull-down menu
The font is displayed in the Font: pull-down menu
.. does the font change between "0" and Tahoma for example..

Is Appoval Process for Standard Target possible in 11.1.2.1

Hi All,
We are testing Workflow Approval process in 11.1.2.1
The idea is to get a Free Flow approval process to work for a Standard Target Version member.
So, we created 2 members in the Version dimension;
1) Working - Standard Target
2) BU_Ver - Bottom up
After assigning access to respective users in entity, scenario and version dimensions;
and defining the planning unit, when I try to do Scenario and Version Assignment
I can only see the Scenario members and for Version selection the Bottom up (BU_Ver) member.
The Standard Target member (*Working*) does not appear in the drop down.
My questions is;
1) Is it possible to implement a free form workflow using Standard Target.
Please help !!
Thanks in advance.

I have similar situation with my client and I had below post few days back. I was hoping to get some feed back.
Process management vs target vesrion
If the purpose is to know who is signing off and not to control read/write access during the approvals and rejections I am thinking of trying above post. I still need to test that and see if I am missing anything.
Distributed budgeting: Oracle doc:
After the data is collected at the lower levels, the budget is submitted through the process management approval process. After all the budgets are submitted, >the top budget group owner reviews, approves, and loads the budgets for budgetary control, transaction control, and reporting.I think Oracle meant to copy data from 'target' to 'bottom-up' version before enabling process management (I donno what makes the difference of using distributed/free-form option during planning unit creation), it is still not clear enough for me.
Enabling 'bottom-up' forecast for detail level sales forecast is practically not an easy process and I may have to push back the scope on 'process management'
Thanks

Limit rows for Degenerate dimension in SSAS 2012 Standard Edition

Hi Experts,
I have a fact table consisting of 4 measures and 6 descriptive fields. The Geography and Time dimension are separately palaced. I want to build SSAS cube on this schema.
I have created the dimension from fact table itself for the descriptive fields. The scenario is that we are not loading complete fact table in SSAS. Only recent 2 years out of 10 years is brought into SSAS. But the degenerate dimension is procssesing all
the rows from fact.
I want to limit the dimension processing to only recent two years of data. How will I be able to achieve this?
Please help me out of this.
Thanks,
RuchikaG

Use a view as the source for dimension. Inside that write logic to filter data from the fact for last two years.
ie like
WHERE dateField >= dateadd(yy,datediff,yy,0,getdate())-1,0)
AND dateField < dateadd(yy,datediff,yy,0,getdate()) + 1 ,0)
Then take distinct attributes from it for the dimension

FMS required for Row Level in Marketing document for Dimensions vs BP

Dear All,
I need some help in regards to the FMS in SAP Business One. I am trying to use Dimension in the row level of my marketing document. In Dimension 2 and Dimension 3 I have named them as Dimension 2 whose description is Regions and in Dimension 3 whose descrption is Area.
Now in Cost Accounting I have setup the Profit Centers in Dimension 2 Region as under :
Factor Code Factor Description
CD0201         Region 1_Asia
CD0202         Region 2_Middle East
Also I have setup the Profit Centers in Dimension 3 Area as under :
Factor Code   Factor Description
CD0201A       India
CD0201B       Pakistan
CD0201C       China
CD0202A       Syria
CD0202B       Saudi Arabia
I have created a udf in the Business Partner Header as U_DCostRegion wherein I have set Valid Values for Field as under which the user will put
Value            Description
CD0201         Region 1_Asia
CD0202         Region 2_Middle East
In the Business Business Partner Territory the BP has been defined as per the Dimension 3 Area. In which for e.g C0001 territory is India, C0002 territory is Pakistan and so on
Now my requirement :
I want that if the user is doing a Sales Quotation or Sales Order from the Sales Quotation then in the Row level Dimensions column of Regions and Area automatically through FMS it should populate the data accordingly as to what is put in the BP master Data. For Example user is doing Sales Quotation for C0001 whose Area ( U_DCostRegion) is set as CD0201 Region 1_Asia and Territory is set as India then automatically in the Sales Quotation row columns of Region and Area values of CD0201 Region 1_Asia and CD0201A India should come.
I think this requirement can be fullfilled by FMS but I am not able to do it from my end. Please advise what should be the FMS for it.
Regards,
Depika

Dear Rahul,
I am able to put the Region from the Business Partner UDF to the document Row of Region column with the FMS as SELECT $[OCRD.U_DCostRegion] as in the U_DCostRegion I had set Valid Values for Field as
Value    Description
CD0201 Region 1_Asia
CD0202 Region 2_Middle East
As in the Dimension in Marketing document it takes the Factor Code e.g CD0201 so I am able to handle it with the above FMS.
But for the Area dimension I am not able to make the FMS because in the marketing document it takes the Factor Code means the Factor Code e.g CD0201A and its not linked to the BP Territory Table of OTER.
I want a FMS which is linked with the OTER Table also as such if in the BP the territory ( avaliable in base product BP > General Tab > Territory ( where its defined as India for BP C0001) should link to CD0201A which is the Factor Code wherein the Factor Description is India.
please advise in this regard.

How to set the number of sockets for batch processing at runtime?

Hello all,
I need to change the execution model at runtime. I have achieved this by setting the 'ModelPath' property of the sequence file at runtime. When I set the sequence file model as batchmodel, i need to set the number of test sockets also dynamically. How can this be done? Once i set the number of sockets, i would also have to set the UUT serial number for each socket. Please help me out in solving this.
Thanks and Regards
Madhu Srinivasan.

Hi Madhu,
You can do this by inserting a sequence file callback into your main sequence and choose the ModelOptions callback. You can then use the expression step to set the "Parameters.ModelOptions.NumTestSockets" value to whatever you want. If you then use the Test UUTs execution entry point you will be prompted for serial numbers automatically. You could also use this same procedure but alter the ModelOptions callback in the process model directly, either way works just as well but I think that using a sequence file callback gives a bit more flexibility in the system.
Hope this helps,
Nick

How do you set up a custom color for the standard screen mode

This new colour scheme has not enough contrast for it to be readable, so I was pleased to find custom screen mode. However, there seems to be no way of setting up a custom color for this. In addition, the icons are so small they are unreadable. Is there any way of making them bigger. I have a 20" and a 22" monitor working together, but they are still not clear enough to use.

Hi there
Are you referring to the tool icons in Photoshop CS6? There are a few options you can change to help make the interface more readable, but unfortunately, there is not an option to enlarge the tool icons.
It sounds like you may have discovered this already, but if you go to Photoshop > Preferences > Interface, you can change the color of the Photoshop CS6 interface.
You can also enlarge the UI text size in this same window, in the Text preferences box.
You can also make the size of your layers thumbnails larger. You can do this by clicking on the small menu in the upper right hand corner of the Layers Panel and selecting Panel Options.
Here you can change the size of the layers thumbnails.
I hope this helps you out a bit!

Setting and process required for using COGI

Hi Gurus,
At present we are using scenario,if child parts are not available system will not allow production confirmation.But it leads customer line stoppage.Now I want to use scenario that we can confirm production in absence of child part and we able to make invoice for finish good and we can take care of child part later.
So you are requested to pl. send total path if possible from customization to end user activities.
Regards
L.B.Yadav

Hi,
System will not do GI automatically you have to do it manually(Through procrument and Production Transction) , Negative stock Functionality is used where the user are not that much trained
some time during night shifts production takes place and suppose user dont know how to tackle or got the error the process stop
Negative stock allow to do posting without availability of stock and it will shows under negative stock
this Functionality you can use during Project stabalization stage ,when user is not aware about COGI transaction and Production cycle . once he awair all cycle you can remove setting of negative stock .
If you are using MFBF then you need to check Post processing record (MF47) for deficate quantity Negative stosk settings reduce the effort of checking Post processing record .

Cannot read the next data row for the data set

Hi,
My report runs fine when I view in VS, data shows fine when I run the query in the data window, but when I publish it to the server, I get the above error. I am running SQL server 2005 RTM and I have re-deployed the entire solution.
Any ideas?

Hi All,
Upon investigation found that there was an issue with converting varchar value to datatime datatype in Stored Procedure and that is why report was throwing error.
I ran same report in BIDS and got clear error message
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot read the next data row for the dataset xxx. (rsErrorReadingNextDataRow)
The conversion of a varchar datatype to a datetime datatype resulted in an out-of-range value
Once I corrected this, It is working fine.

Process Management for Standard Target Version

Hi All,
I am newbie to hyperion, I am entering values at parent level by taking version type as "Standard Target", Is this possible to create Process Management for "Standard Target" versions? if yes how? Plz help me.
Regards,
Naresh R

I take it you are talking about planning, process management is for "Bottom Up Versions"
From the docs
"Target versions use top-down budgeting. *Manage Process Tasks are not allowed*, and children of target members must be blank (for example, #MISSING) to enable data input at the top level."

Host-target application for setting the PC(host) time to cRIO(target)

if there is any host-target application for setting the PC(host) time to cRIO(target)? if probably a sample program provided?

Hi Charles,
There's a function called RT Set Date and Time that you can make use of.
We don't have a sample program but this is a very simple VI to use. Read off the current date time in Windows, then enter the corresponding info into this VI and run it. The cRIO controller will then have its date time updated accordingly.

Excel *.xls or *.xlsx for dimension sheet format in Admin Console?

Dear all:
We are in the process of upgrading BPC 5.1 to 7.0, and I was prompted a message about the Excel format (2007 or 2003) when I first opened up a dimension in Admin Console, after BPC 7.0 was installed.
My questions are:
1. What are the pros and cons?
2. Excel 2003 has the limitation of 65000 rows, so does that mean once I choose 2003 format, my dimension members can only have 65000 limitation? If not, what is the workaround?
3. If I select Excel 2007 as my default format, and want to switch to Excel 2003, is there a way to do so?
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Brian

Hi Brian Hsu,
Please refer to the SAP Note below:
SAP Note 1265872 - Excel 2007 format template supported in Admin console.
Summary
Symptom
Admin console does not support Excel 2007 format in previous versions.
Other terms
BPC 7.0 SP2 Microsoft, BPC 7M SP02, Excel 2007 format(xlsx), Admin console, dimension member sheet,
Reason and Prerequisites
The previous version of Admin console supported Excel 2003 file format only. Users could not use Excel 2007 file format ('xlsx').
Solution
Implemented in 7.0M SP2.
BPC Administration console will support both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007
file format for dimension member sheet. And the BPC Administration
console uses the value of 'MEMBERSHEET_VERSION' in tblDefaults table
internally to judge which file format is used for dimension member
sheet. The value can be "2003" or "2007" and be set by selecting the
value from popup window as below. Once the value is set via the popup
window, the value cannot be changed, so we recommend reading the below
explanation for each case first and then setting the value.
KeyID and Value in tblDefaults;
    - [KeyID]: MEMBERSHEET_VERSION
    - [VALUE]: "2003" OR "2007"
Below is the behavior of the Excel version when users try to save a
dimension member sheet to server or process dimension with member sheet;
1. No record having MEMBERSHEET_VERSION in tblDefaults after installing
BPC 7M SP2 or later
   a)Excel 2003 users
     - Download 'xls' file and save to server without any message.
   b)Excel 2007 users
     - A popup window for selecting 2003 or 2007 will come up and if
       user selects 2007, a warning message that Excel 2003 users
       cannot usedimension member sheet file anymore will come up once
       again and then the file format will be changed to 'xlsx'
     - Create, Modify, Copy dimension: The file format of the member
       sheet will be 'xls'.
2. MEMBERSHEET_VERSION=2003
   a)Excel 2003 users
     - Download 'xls' file and save to server as 'xls'
   b)Excel 2007 users
     - Dimension member sheet file will be saved as 2003 file format by
       'SaveAs'
3. MEMBERSHEET_VERSION=2007
   a)Excel 2003 users
     - User cannot download dimension member sheet file so cannot use
       dimension member sheet any more.
   b)Excel 2007 users
     - Download 'xlsx' file from server and if there is only 'xls', the
       file will be downloaded from server and then it will be changed         to 'xlsx' when save to server.
     - Create dimension: The file format will be 'xlsx'
     - Modify, Copy dimension: The file format will be followed by the
       downloaded file format.
[Limitation]
If the value of MEMBERSHEET_VERSION is set to 2007, users who use Office 2003 cannot access and modify dimension member sheet file any more. Only users who use Office 2007 can access and modify dimension member sheet.

Set Item after Fetch Row

Hi,
i have an item in a form region with 'Display As': 'Text
Field (Disabled, saves state)'. This item is populated by the 'Fetch
row' process. After the fetch row process i want to set the item by
the process 'Set Data' (Process Point: On Load - After Footer) to
another value - but it doesn't work.
In Debug Mode i get the following messages:
0.05: Processing point: AFTER_FOOTER
0.05: ...Process "Set Data": PLSQL (AFTER_FOOTER) BEGIN :P50_MARKE := #OWNER#.wav_api.getData ......
0.05: ...Session State "P50_MARKE" - saving same value: "Walther_____"
The value from the fetch was: 'Walther' and after setting it should be 'Walther_____'
As you can see my function wav_api.getData works fine.
Has somebody an idea what's wrong?
Best regards,
Marti

Martin,
Your stated requirement is: "After the fetch row process i want to set the item..."
Your process does this and your computation does this. They both set the item's value in session state as your debug output showed. But doing either of these at the After Footer point makes no sense. That's after the item has been rendered on the page as a form input item. And that's the value that will be POSTed in the form and which will then override the value in session state that your process or computation established.
Andy's suggestion was to use a Post Calculation Computation. This is a property of the item (see the Source section). You would not need a computation or process on the page if you do it this way.
Another method would be to use an After-Header process or computation. For this to work, you would also need to change the item's Source Used setting to "Only, ..." from "Always, ...". If you do it that way and the process or computation always sets the value correctly then that should be all you need to do. If the process or computation runs conditionally or cannot be relied upon to set the correct value then you may need to add other logic to the page.

Front Row for pictures is useless to me!

I bought my mac mini to use as a media center, to stream and play eveything from my iMac G5 through the mini connected to my 32" LCD TV. Everything streams fine except photos. Most of the time the slideshow won't work, or after a long hesitation it shows one picture and then just keeps playing the Minuet in G. If I quit out of Front Row and go to iPhoto on the mini, many of the shared pics from the iMac only appear as empty spces with a grey dotted line around them. Sometimes if I click on a space, the pic will fill in, sometimes not.
And that **** music! WHYYYYY can't Front Row do as my iPod does, and go with the option to use music from iPhoto, so that once I have set up an album's slideshow music on my iMac, that carries over to both my iPod as well as through Front Row? I don't want to have to reset music choices everytime I wanna show friends some photos on the TV. iPhoto does not stream the music from the shared photo albums, so if you don't have any music stored on the mini, I am left with Garage Band samples or the Minuet in G.
Finally, Front Row does not seem to be able to read and hold the slideshow preferences for a shared album. Even if I take the time to go into iPhoto and make settings, it will still eventually revert back to the Ken Burns effect.
And here's a thought..what if I just wanna look at a picture through Front Row? I have to start and then pause a slideshow just to look at one pic?
With all this, it's just too frustrating to use for photos.

Although I do all of my picture imports to iPhoto on my MacBook, once a week I connect my MacBook in FireWire Target Disk Mode to my iMac and I copy the whole library over to the iMac. I do the same thing with iTunes. Although I only use my portable computer to manage everything, I copy all of my files over to the iMac. My iMac is connected to the TV and I use Front Row on the iMac to display the picture and music libraries directly from there.
So, your statement shouldn't be "Front Row for pictures is useless to me!", rather it should be "Front Row for shared pictures is useless to me!". This might be a valid statement and there may be things we can help to tweak your settings, but you're right. For the most part shared libraries (pictures or music) are not ideal in Front Row. I would recommend you get a FireWire cable and use your Mac mini as a backup for your iMac's libraries.
Since Front Row will be included with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) when it's released later this year, you probably want your Front Row to work now. So, waiting for an update to Front Row probably is not a good option right now.
