Start/End Periods - locks period on webform but can still lock and send?

Hi,
I've setup a forecast period in planning with the start period May FY13 and end period Dec FY13 and tested as a test user.
In the webform - this works perfectly, only may:dec are avaliable for write access.
If i replicated the webform exactly as a lock and send, it will let me load to jan:apr... My users aren't ready to move to smartview yet, so any advice on how to lock them out will be great.
Many Thanks,
Jo.

Hi John,
Thanks for the speedy response.
Yes sorry, I mean the Excel Add-In.
Is there any work around for this, or is my only option to create Essbase Filters manually? (or persuade the users to move onto Smartview, but that's not going to happen overnight).
Thanks,
Jo.

You need to fix capitalization in Pages Preferences > Auto-Correction. When you select this option, you can just keep typing in lower case and the first letter of the next sentence will automatically promote to upper case.

My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

Time Capsule Airport
Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
Simply post the screenshots here.
So here is mine.
Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
eg.
Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
This is wifi in your computer.
The following are important..
DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TC name. TCgen5
Wireless name TCwifi
Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
Mount the TC manually in finder.
AFP://TCgen5.local
When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
Reset Time Machine

I have just upgraded to 10.6.7, and was browing the App. Store, I selected a product and it started to download, I cancelled the download, but it still registers in my purchases list, have I purchased that appl. and how can I cancel the purchase?

I have just upgraded to 10.6.7, and was browing the App. Store, I selected a product by mistake and it started to download, I cancelled the download, but it still registers in my purchases list, have I purchased that appl.? and how can I cancel the purchase in my purchases list?

I think that as soon as you click "Buy" and type in your details, the iTunes server is alerted that you have bought the item, even if it hasn't downloaded. Your "purchased" list is based on your account and not your computer so I'm afraid even if you haven't completed the download, you will be charged for it (but if you do now download it, you won't be charged again). This also means that you can't remove items from the purchased list.
Glad to be of help (I hope),

Restrict lock and send data in Hyperion Planning

Hi All,
I am working on a planning application version 11.1.2.1.I have users who use excel add in to submit data.The issue is when they submit forecast it messes up the data for the previous periods actual.For ex if they have to submit forecast for Aug onward , but their spreadsheet has data from jan to dec then my jan to july data gets messed up because of the upload.In essbase application,we can restrict them by creating UDA's and filters.
I need some suggestions for the planning application.I can modify the planning filters in essbase but again it would be very tedious job to go into each filters and modify and the worst part would be if we do refresh security next time,it will overwrite the filters.
Please guide me through this.
Thanks,
vikash

John,
Thanks for the reply. The problem is different business units have different excel models with many tabs and those tabs are linked to each other .They have a tab for essbase upload which gets generated by the other tabs.They are using macros which selects the range and do lock and send. I cannot take away their essbase write access because they are very comfortable using excel add-in and they are not ready to change the process as well for atleast now.
How can i restrict in smartview?
Please let me know what is the standard process across the hyperion world for this scenario.
Regards,
Vikash

Filter on Lock and Send access in System 9

Hi All,
Is there a way to do a partial lock and send in a planning application using filters or other means?
To explain what I mean:
I have a scenario in planning which is supposed to be open for Q1'09. For rest of the periods, the scenario doesn't allow me to update numbers in planning. Can something similar be achieved in Essbase where we can lock and send # for a particular period?
Any insights to the above are really appreciated.
Thanks,
AJ.

AJ,
If you provision a Planner to have the Essbase Write role in Shared Services, what does the filter look like?
I am guessing you have gone down this road and did not see write filters around Time. Is that correct?
If the above statement was true, it would make the Write function pretty worthless -- after all, the ability to turn time periods on and off through the Scenario dimension is one of the key pieces of controlling a budget.
For my edification (and probably some others as well), would you create a single user with that Essbase Write role (this is assuming he is a Planner, with restrictions around open time periods), refresh Planning security, pull that user's filter, and then post it in this forum? I'm very curious to see if the role is worth using. I'm still guessing that that role will do what you want.

VBA to Lock and send

Hi All
I don't have much experience with VBA and I need a VBA script to lock and send data to essbase from my worksheet in excel. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Mik

If you have the Excel addin installed on your machine, there should be a file called Sampvba.xls in the following folder
C:\Program Files\Hyperion solutions\Essbase\client\sample
If you go into the source code you'll find the following example which is a good place to start.
Sub SendData()
'Connect to each sheet of the book
'Select each sheet
'Lock and Send
'Check hCtx, a none zero value indicates the sheet is connected. If it is zero, Connect.
hCtx = EssVGetHctxFromSheet("[SAMPVBA.XLS]Jan")
If hCtx = 0 Then
X = EssVConnect("[SAMPVBA.XLS]Jan", "user", "password", "localhost", "Sample", "Basic")
hCtx = EssVGetHctxFromSheet("[SAMPVBA.XLS]Jan")
If hCtx = 0 Then
MsgBox ("General Error in connecting to sheet.")
GoTo Quit
End If
If X <> 0 Then
MsgBox ("Connect Failed. Error: " + Str(X))
End If
End If
'Get Global Options and set the message level. If level value is set to display message, turn it off.
X = EssVGetGlobalOption(5)
If X < 4 Then
X = EssVSetGlobalOption(5, 4)
End If
'Select sheets, perform menu lock, send data range
Sheets("Jan").Select
X = EssMenuVLock()
X = EssVSendData("[SAMPVBA.XLS]Jan", range("A1:Y20"))
Sheets("Feb").Select
X = EssMenuVLock()
X = EssVSendData("[SAMPVBA.XLS]Feb", range("A1:Y20"))
Sheets("Mar").Select
X = EssMenuVLock()
X = EssVSendData("[SAMPVBA.XLS]Mar", range("A1:Y20"))
Sheets("Apr").Select
X = EssMenuVLock()
X = EssVSendData("[SAMPVBA.XLS]Apr", range("A1:Y20"))
Sheets("May").Select
X = EssMenuVLock()
X = EssVSendData("[SAMPVBA.XLS]May", range("A1:Y20"))

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Cannot Lock and Send data to an Essbase cube

Hi all,
One of our customer is executing a Macro script to lock and send data to the essbase cube from an excel sheet.
They reported that in several cases where users will submit their data, and later discover that their changes are not in Essbase.
The calls to EssVRetrieve (to lock the blocks) and EssVSendData are both returning successfully and there is no error message received while executing the above macros.
I reviewed the application log file and found the following message:
[Mon Nov 24 18:59:43 2008]Local/Applicn///Warning(1080014)
Transaction [ 0xd801e0( 0x492b4bb0.0x45560 ) ] aborted due to status [1014031].
I analysed the above message and found the user is trying to lock the database when already a lock has been applied to it and some operation is being performed on it. Because of that the transaction has been aborted. But customer says no concurrent operation is being performed at that time.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Raja

The error message for error 1014031 is 'Essbase could not get a lock in the specified time.' The first thought I have is that perhaps some user/s have the 'Update Mode' option set in their Essbase Options and thus, when they are retrieving data, they are inadvertantly locking the data blocks. If that is the case, you will probably see this issue sporadically as the locks are automatically released when the user disconnects from Essbase.
To make it stop, you will have to go to every user's desktop and make sure they have that Essbase Option turned off. Further, you will have to look at any worksheets they may use that may have an Essbase Option name stored on it. The range name is stored as a string and includes a setting for update mode. Here is a sample that I created for this post where I first turned 'on' update mode and then turned 'off' update mode:
A1100000001121000000001100120_01-0000
A1100000000121000000001100120_01-0000
Note the 11th character in the first string is '1' which indicates that Update Mode is 'on'; in the second string, it is 'off'.
This behavior, particularly with update mode, is the only one of the behaviors that I disliked in Excel and pushed me to design our Dodeca product. In Dodeca, the administrator controls all Essbase options and can either set individual options to the value they want or they can allow the user to choose their own options. Most of our customers do not allow the user to set update mode.

Lock and send ASO

Hi,
We are running Essbase version 11.1.1.2 and Smartview 11.1.1.2 (Build 122).
I have some users that would like to load some data via Excel into an ASO cube. I am aware this would be slower than using BSO.
I have tried both HSSETVALUE and the ad-hoc with submit data and I get an error 'You do not have sufficient access to perform a lock on this database'.
I am pretty sure this is because of the 'lock and send' nature of submit data and the fact you can't lock a block on ASO because no blocks exist.
I have read something about the 'classic add-in' having the option of not locking before sending. What is this? I actually don't think I have it. I have Excel 2010 and everything is consolidated under one ribbon I think from memory.
What are my options? The cube is big and an ASO for a reason, there's a large number of big dimensions. I could change the Excel sheets to load to SQL Server and run via a rules file. But I would rather load from Excel.
Rgds
James

The oldest release I have is 11.1.1.3, but if I go to this ASOsamp.Sample intersection:

Essbase Trigger for SS Lock and Send

Hi,
I need to create a Trigger using EAS for any Lock and Send activity through Spreadsheet Add-In. Please guide me in developing the script, I can't figure out what to put in the Where and When condition in the Trigger window. Can't find any example on net.
Thanks,
Ash

ok, I stand corrected. You can use a on-update trigger to capture changes. Thinking about it, you would have to create a where and when clause that would always return true. Like
Where [scenario].currentmember
when [scenario].currentmember <> [scenario].currentmember + 1
I would suspect you would wnat to use the logging for this not send an email. This will spool the before and after values. I have not tried it, but I don't think it captures the information on who did it. that is why I would go the ssaudit route. In 11.1.1 you have transaction logging.

Lock and Send Crashes Excel

Hi all,
I tried to perform the "Lock and Send" operation in Excel add in and upon performing the operation, my Excel got crashed. Essbase version is 9.3.1 and excel version is 2003.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Essbase client but that did not fix the issue.
Can anyone help me on the above?
Thanks in advance,

HI ,
what do u mean by crashing. its not responding or hanging for a while?

Lock and send issues

Hi,
I have essbase 11.1.2.2 and I have a BSO cube. I am doing lock and send for a intersection. After lock and send when i retrieve the data i can see the data. But after running CALC ALL when I retrieve I am unable to see the data.
I am not sending data to Level 2. Am i doing the correct way to load data since I am not updating at Zero level.
Can you please let me any possible reasons for this issue.
Thanks for your help in advance.

"...since I am not updating at Zero level."
I'm not clear from your question whether you are, in fact, loading data at level-zero in all dimensions. If you aren't, then your calc may be overwriting the number you have sent by simple consolidation.
It is also possible that you are loading to a stored member that has a formula on it, and when the CALC ALL runs the formula is being executed and overwriting your loaded number.
A third option is that a formula on another member overwrites the value on a member to which you are loading, but this is a less common situation.

Lock and Send problem

I have problem with Essbase Add-in not locking and sending. We can get it to lock and send once on a new app, but can't do subsiquent locks. Is there a setting issue? We have two servers, one Essbase 6.1.3a and NT4.0, the other Essbase 6.5.3 and Win2K and both have same problem. I would appreciate any help offered.

If the data is in the ATX file, I would say your lock and send is working.I am trying to work out what "doesn't work" means ... do you get #missing when you do a retrieve or just an old value?You say this works on a new app ... i.e. is this an EMPTY app? ie. does the first entered value retrieve back into Excel?It is possible that you have an implicit share issue here ie. one parent/one child situations in the hierarchy.
