Shared members issue

Hi to all,
I've a Problem with the shared members in a excel spreadsheet. I need to see all members in a specific dimension (shared members included). using members selection dialog box, i'm using the view method "by generation name" and the output option Supress shared members (cleared) but the shared members are filtered in the results. Using by level name is the same result.
could you help me?
I'm usign essbase 9.0 and add in vs 9.0
Thanks in advance

Certainly sounds odd... did you check the preview to see if they show up there?
I'm just thinking it might be a post processing issue, because I haven't heard of this being an issue before so if it is there may be some option setting that is tripping it up.
Let us know if they show up in the preview -- and if you have a suitable way to test other outlines or dimensions with similar circumstances it might help to check the preview on them as well.

Essbase Error log issue for Shared Members

I am loading Shared members for a custom dimension in Essbase.
Error log is getting created as below.
\\Record #1 - Warning: Account Only attributes cannot be set in non-Accounts dimensions
PR0011,APP_PR,Shared Member,
But that specific member is getting loaded.
I am loading only shared member in this load and all records are shown as getting rejected even though most of them are getting loaded.This is causing issues in finding out real rejects.

hi John,
Here i'm building the dimension through generation build method.
setting the properties as
Field, Dimension, Field Type, Field Number
Field1,Product,Generation,2
Field2,Product,property,2
Field3,Product,Generation,3
Field4,Product,Generation,4
After mapping it shows dimensions are correctly mapped.
When i load the source file and the rule file, it shows error partially loaded data,.And it doesn't shows the shared member property. That is what asked How to modify the source file for building shared members using Rules file.
Thanks,

EPMA Shared Members not reflecting in Planning application post deployment

Hi,
I have added a member in 'Entity' dimnesion. The same member is also added in an alternate hiererchy as shared member (Using Insert member option in dimension library). When I refresh the application view, I do see both the original member and shared member in application vieiw. But post deployment, only the base member is reflected in planning application and not the shared member.
I have redeployed the application multiple times now, but i am still not able to see the shared members reflected in Planning application.
Kindly let me know if you have any idea on the same or faced a similar issue?
Regards
Meenal

Hi,
Have you patched up EPMA with patches from Metalink3
9.3.1.1 Patch includes -
6897835 SHARED MEMBERS IN ENTITY DIMENSION CAN NOT BE DEPLOYED TO ASO/BSO APPS
It is advisable to keep a look out for patch fixes with EPMA
Hope this helps

Add shared members to interfaces tables

Hi guys
I need to load shared members to a generic dimension using interface tables?
How can I do it?
Regards

Hi John
Thanks for your help. I can add shared member to the generic dimension called PCM_Prod, however I am getting the following issue
at validate one application that I used:
Error : Last generation 2 member of dimension PCM_Prod is Total Productos. Expected member name "NoMember".
Error : Dimension 'PCM_Prod' does not support shared members because the dimension hierarchy type is set to 'Stored'. Member: '3032182'.
Error : Shared member '3032182' cannot exist under generation 2 ancestor member 'Total Productos' in dimension 'PCM_Prod' because it does not belong to a StoreData hierarchy. Either set the dimension-level Hierarchy Type property to 'StoreData', or else set the Hierarchy Type property of generation 2 ancestor of this member to 'StoreData'
If I upload using ADS I did not get the issue.
So I do not why using interface tables I got the error.

Smartview: shared members on level o has a prefix of level 1

Hi,
I'm using smartview 11.1.2.3. I have a dimension with multiple parallel hierarchies: level1a->level0, level1b->level0, level1c->level0,
as a result the level 0 members which apears below level1b and level1c are shared members. when I'm "zooming in" in"smartview" from
level1b/level1c, the shared members apears as level1a.level0 or level1b.level0. (zooming in from level1a gives a correct result ->level0),
did someone encounter this issue?
thanks,
Yuval

Yuval check this Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: Smart View issues with alternate Hierarchy - Surprises in Essbase Part V
Seems like something changed (maybe from a patch in 11.1.2.2, not sure about the patch because I've a vanilla 11.1.2.2 with this issue) from 11.1.2.2

Aliases for shared members in Smartview

Hi All Gurus,
I am using Oracle EPM 11.1.2.3. I migrated an EPMA planning application from 11.1.2.2 to 11.1.2.3. The Alias for Shared members are not getting displayed When I access through Smartview ,instead it is showing as [Parent].[child] . But When I access the same application in 11.1.2.2, I can see the Alias.
How to fix this?

It is been identified as a bug have a read of this Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: Smart View issues with alternate Hierarchy - Surprises in Essbase Part V

UDAs re shared members and Intersect

I'm INTERSECTing two sets:
Leaf-level from [Entities].CurrentMember and
UDA([Entities],"myuda" (also leaf-level)
This intersection works appropriately on my primary stored hierarchy but not on any of my alternative hierarchies (also stored). It does work when I zoom to the leaf level in the alternate hierarchy but not any of the rollups.
I had assumed the UDA on the shared member (in the alternate hierarchies) would acquire the UDA of its stored member. However, it doesn't appear to be working that way.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue or suggest a different approach?
Thanks,
Barb

We're using shared members in 11.1.1.2, in both dense and sparse dimensions. So, the good news is that it can be done. The bad news is that I'm not sure why you're experiencing this issue.
Will you provide some additional details about the dimension where you're having this issue? Is it in a shared library, or a local library? Is there any chance that the prototype member (the original non-shared member) is set to "NeverShare"? Unfortunately, EPMA will allow users to select certain settings that cause problems downstream. (And sometimes it won't allow perfectly valid settings.)

Access on Shared Members not working in reports

In our entity dimensions, we have all of our base members listed in under a parent folder, with permission assigned to each base member to allow access (not at the folder level).
We then have another parent folder which includes Regions, and then the base members are included under the appropriate region as a shared members. On the Region folders, we have iDescendants access setup for all the shared members.
When running reports, if a user who has access to the Region folders selects the Region folder, then they can see a consolidated report for all the shared members, but if they click on a specific shared member, they cannot see any numbers.
It looks like those shared members are not inheriting permissions from the parent folder. This was working before, and recently stopped.
Does anyone know what needs to be done to get the permission to start inheriting from the parent folder to the shared members?

Did a Refresh on Shared Members from Planning > Administration > Manage Database and this solved this issue.

How to see Shared Members in Smart View on Ad-hoc Analysis mode

Hi All,
We are using Hyperion Planning v 11.1.1.3.
For the alternate hierarchy we have created shared members. But in Smart View we are unable to see Shared members hierarchy in Ad-hoc analysis mode.
Is this limitation in Hyperion Planning?
Or
Is there any way to see shared members Hierarchy in Smart View in Ad-hoc analysis mode?
It is urgent requirement Please let me know as early as possible
Thanks in Advance!!!

When you say open data form in Ad-hoc mode, can you do that? I think when you select Ad-hoc mode, you are basically connecting to Essbase and therefore need to manually select the members. (of course, I've got a 11.1.2 env right now so not too sure of 11.1.1.3)
I'm able to just go to Member Selection and select whatever hierarchy i want, Shared or Stored, when I'm connected to Essbase. When connecting to Planning, I dont have any option of opening the form as Ad-hoc mode.
Can you see the hierarchy if selecting the members using Essbase connection and not planning?
Cheers,
Abhishek

Level building/shared members

Can you generate shared members when level building your dimensions?

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the previous 2 posters. You can build shared members when you use a level build method. I do it all the time. Assume your level zero member is in a primary and secondary rollup and that there are 3 parents in the firs rollup and 2 in the second, the format of the load rule would be:
Lev0,Lev1,Lev2,Lev3,lev1,Lev2

Shared members and dynamic calc

I am trying to replicate a new cube from current GL cube and wish to remove unused shared members if they have any impact on essbase.
2/3 of my accounts (dense) member is stored with the remainder being shared members. Shared members do not add to block size. But having so many of them, does it impact on calc scripts or retrievals or any other impacts?
Secondly, in accounts and divisions, we have four levels. except for level 0, the remaining levels are all dynamic calc. Division is sparse member. Its not advisable to have dynamic calc on dense dimension. What about sparse dimension like division? Will it be better to change level 2&3 to dynamic and change level 1 to store as well?
We have also been advised by our consultant to change accounts to sparse dimension considering the number of times we need to update outline for new members (stored and shared).
Dimension          Type          Stored     Shared
Measure               Dense     1378     796     rest
Time               Dense     106     13     rest
Year               Dense     9     8
Currency          Sparse     12     9
Scenario          Sparse     41     38
Market               Sparse     20     12
Division          Sparse     490     302     rest
Product               Sparse     635     308
Reportcode          Sparse     327     299

Hi,
Having shared members in dense hierarchy will not have much of impact on Cube size or retrieval performance.
but its always advisable to avoid unnecessary hierarchies (shared or stored or dynamic).
Having top level dense members as dynamic lines is a good design but having sparse dynamic calc will impact retrieval performance.
its not at all advisable to make sparse members as dynamic calc but if needed we can make sparse members with very few children as dynamic calc (or dynamic calc & store). yet again its not advisable to have a dynamic calc children to a sparse stored parent as this will affect the batch calculation while aggregating parent sparse member.
And as suggested by your consultant it is feasible to make the dimension getting modified more often, as a sparse dimension as this will reduce the restructuring time (sparse restructure will take less time compared to dens restructure).
But that alone cannot be considered as factor as there are many other factors to be considered for making a dimension sparse.

Is there any API for Shared Members

Hi All ,
Can any one let me know whether there is any API function for Shared Members? I could not find anything from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_api/api_c/mac/tocmacfa.htm
Please do help...Thanks in advance

I am assuming you are on 9.2 as that is the link you posted, all the details you need are in the docs - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_api/topapilist.htm

Drill down on shared members.

Hi ,
I have some filters associated to geography hierarchy in my essbase cube.
my geography heirarchy looks like this.
geography
|_base_members
|_am
|_Apac
|_shared_members
|_am (Alias: America) (shared members)
|_ ..etc
|_Apac (Alias: Asia pac) (shared members)
now i have created filters giving meta read access on shared members in the above case on .users of america will only see america region.
but when i drill down and drill up on the member in the report in web analysis, it gives me an unknown member error "am".
i tried by giving same access to the base members but the report shows the base members.
is there any other way to handle this error.
thanks.

Try deleting Non-Corporate Income before you drill into Total Revenue. Or turn off Retain selected member in your drill options. The problem is that if Essbase sees Non-Corporate Income, then it knows it is the alternate roll up and correctly does not drill on Total Revenue. Remove Non-Corporate Income and Total Revenue, just becomes plain old Total Revenue and you should be able to drill on that.
