Sub var update in Essbase

Hello Gurus -
Does anyone know if a subvar is updated in essbase does the process gets captured in essbase log file?
I updated a subvar at all app.all db level but do not see any entries in the essbase log file regarding the update.
Regards

Hi,
Depends how you set it, I think with esscmd you get more information in the essbase.log file than you do with maxl.
Setting a var at db level
Esscmd you would see something like
Received client request: Set Substitution Variable (from user [admin])
Maxl disappointing log info
Received client request: MaxL: Execute (from user [admin])
Database app.db altered
Cheers

A way to track where all the Sub Var are applied?

Hopefully this is the section where to post.
Is there a way of tracking where all the substitution variables are being used in the reports?
Either in reports or calc scripts, or in a 3rd format, if there is one.
We just don't want to open up each script individually and scan for use of the sub var, or open each report and see if it's used.

Hi there,
Is this HFM or Essbase?

Sub var question

Hello...I have two questions re: substitution variables. 1. I believe Essbase evaluates sub vars "bottom-up"--that is, if you have the same variable name at multiple levels (database, application, server), Essbase uses the value from the lowest level. This is the case regardless of whether you're using the variable in a calc, report script, spreadsheet retrieval, etc. Is this correct? 2. What in the world does the "Set Substitution Variable Scope" command in the calc script editor do? It doesn't effect syntax checking, or the way the calc runs. I've also noticed this command doesn't exist in EAS... Thanks, Jared 

You already have a spry horizonal menu that you appear to be using as a vertical. You might be able to insert another <ul> within the <li>, like so
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizonal">
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 1</a>
 <ul>
 <li><a href="#">Item 1.1</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Item 1.2</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Item 1.3</a></li>
 </ul>
</li>
If that does not work, perhaps you might just want to delete what you have and insert a vertical spry menu.
I also notice all of your html files start with caps, looks like you have an Index html and a index.html. I'm guessing that gave you a few headaches.

Dynamic Calc'd Member not picking up Sub Var changes - 11.1.1.3

Hi,
We have a Dyn Calc'd member formula using a sub var on a member. When sub var is updated, values in member formula referencing the sub var don't update. We have stop and start the application for it to pick up the new sub var in the member formula.
any ideas?

Unfortunately you have to live by the definition in dbag which is in the post that Tim provided the link for but nobody seems to follow links these days :)
"To ensure that a new substitution variable value is available in formulas, partition definitions, and security filters, stop and restart the application. All other uses of substitution variables are dynamically resolved when used."

Sub Var in FR

I am using System 9.3.1. While creating the FR using the Studio, I am not able to get the sub var from Essbase. Other than that everything is working fine. Anyone encountered similar problem?
Thanks

Financial Reporting let's you connect to different services in System 9.3.1. For example you can use the Essbase Analytics connector to access Essbase properties or the Planning connector to access Planning properties.
Make sure you are connecting through the Essbase connection to have Subvars available to you.
Also make sure your substitution variables follow recommended naming standards. I.e. do not begin with numbers or have foreign characters. I also try to keep them less than 8 characters.
Hope this helps,

Shared Services Security information not updating in Essbase

Hi,
I have created few users in Shared Services and performed the sync operation. Created users are not reflecting in Essbase server. why?
Also tried by externalizing the users... performed sync from shared services and refreshed the shared security from EAS console...then also... user information not updating in Essbase?
What could be the reason?

Have you provided Essbase application access rights to those users in shared services?
If not, then try after providing Essbase access to users. This might be the reason for your issue.

Hyperion Reports - Suppress based on Sub Var

Hi, I have a report with the time periods in the columns. Column [A], which is suppressed, is Sub Var $CurMnth. Column "B", which is suppressed, is a range of time periods (months). Column [C] is the sum of Column "B". I want to conditionally suppress Column [C] based on the value of the CurrMth Sub Var. So, IF CurMnth = Jul, then suppress Column [C]. I can't find a way to do this. Is it possible? Thanks. 

Well, if your value "Jul" does not changes, the youcan do conditional supressions. Suppose you column with sub var is colum a then use If data value in cell [a,1] is equal to data Jul, --> usethis condition for conditional supression. I use something like this in my reports and it works fine. hope this helps !

Formula to check sub var

Hi All,
We have a formula on a member. the calc is dependant on substitution variable: CURRENTMONTH...
IF (&CURRENTMONTH == @ISMBR("Jan"))
when i use the above its not working..............how can i check the sub var &CURRENTMONTH

I like IF(@ISMBR(&Currmth) and @ISMBR("Jan"))
comparisons of member names don't work very good until you get to 11.1.2 and have the membercompare function

MDX SUB VAR ERROR

Hi All,
I'm trying to write a simple MDX formula, however when I try to use a SUB VAR in the formula I keep getting an error message. However, when I replace the Sub Var with the member name the SubVar is currently set to, it works.
The formula is:
1 - IIF (IS(QTR.CurrentMember, [Q1] ), [&q1hybcqw],0)
The &q1hybcqw is set to a member from a different dimension to that stated in the IS(QTR.CurrentMember, [Q1] ). When I use the actual member it works, which give's the formula:
2 - IIF (IS(QTR.CurrentMember, [Q1] ), [EOQ],0)
The error in formula number 1 is "Error(1260046) - Unknown Member "EOQ" used in queryhybyrCQW" - note - "hybyrCQW" is the name of the member that contains the formula.

In calc scripts, the substitution variable should have quotes around the member, even if it doesn't otherwise need them -- I don't know if this is the same case for MDX calcs though, but give it a try as it might be at least part of the answer.

Sub Vars not working

I have transferred from v6.1 p4 to v6.5 on a different server. My problem is that I can't get any sub variables to work. Has anybody else come across this? I'm thinking it's a bug.Thanks

Listed under fixes in 6.5.1:The UPDATEVARIABLE command may fail to update substitution variables. 28849The UPDATEVARIABLE command fails to update substitution variables when the case does not match that of the original database and application. After updating substitution variables using the UPDATEVARIABLE command, the new variables are displayed in the Application Manager under Server > Substitution Variables, but a spreadsheet retrieval returns the old variables and their associated values.

Using dataexport in a business rules and define the filename with a sub var

Hi,
I have created a calc script to export data using DATAEXPORT, and to define the filename an essbase variable.
Here all right
I copy this code to a business rules to run it from a business rules, but I have a problem with the essbase variable, when I validate it, it gives me the error:
Detail:Encountered "&FileNm" at line 28, column 26.
Was expecting:
My essbase variable is set to:
"e:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\app\TMPGB\dataexportCustomerY2.txt"
in double quote
How anyone use in a Business rules with the command dataexport an essbase substitution variable

Just tried:
Script: DATAEXPORT "File" " " &Filename "#Missing";
SubsVar: "c:\DataExtract.txt"
it worked with no issues.

ABAP HR - New status/sub-status update in Appraisal forms

Hi Abapers,
As of now the program is generating status/sub-status using FM's: HRHAP_C_NAME_READ_D_STAT and HRHAP_C_NAME_READ_D_STAT_SUB. and generating appraisal forms in tcode: PHAP_ADMIN_PA.
Now I have added status/sub-status and date fields in selection screen. Requirement is that the program should check this date against form creation date, If begin date of the form is not after any of three dates specified in selection screen then status/sub-status specified in selection screen is not used. else status/sub-status specified in selection screen is used.
FM: HRHAP_DOCUMENT_PREPARE is used to generate appraisal forms where the status and sub-status are picked from infotype: 5026 and related tables. though i have modified program, new status/sub-status is not reflecting in appraisal forms.. how can i achieve this...
Please help me.. i need your help..

Hi Premraj,
Selection screen: (assumptions)
P_status:
P_begda:
P_endda:
P_date:
Assume that from creation date is system date:
If sy-datum >= p_begda and
sy-datum >= p_endda and
sy-datum >= p_date.
Use the selection screen status/sub-status.(p_status)
Else.
What ever your condition.
Endif.
Please let me know if you need more information.

Audit Files Not Updating in Essbase

Hi Experts,
Audit files are not updating.( alg and .atx).
The two audit files were updating previously but for the last two months they are not updating.
Please suggest me.

Some of the terminology Dreamweaver uses can make what you're saying a bit confusing, so I'm going to try to clarify so we can better understand the situation.
You and your coworker are each on your work computers using Dreamweaver. You have both created site definitions in Dreamweaver, pointing to a folder on your company's internal server.
The "Local Site Folder" setting of your site definition should be pointing to a location on your own computer. The same setting on your coworker's site definition in Dreamweaver should be pointing to a location on their computer.
This means that when you select "Local view" in the Files panel, it will only show files on your computer. Likewise, when your coworker does the same, it will only show files on their computer.
It is the "Server Folder" setting in the server settings on each of your computers that should be pointing to that folder on your company's internal server.
This means that when you select "Remote Server" (or "Testing Server" if you checked that box instead for the server in your site definition) in the Files panel, you will be viewing the files on your company's server.
In order to essentially share files between your copy of Dreamweaver and your coworker's, you need to "upload" (i.e. copy) files from your Local View to your Remote Server. Your coworker would then see these files by looking at Remote Server on their computer. And the reverse is true; they upload from Local View to Remote Server, and you would see the files by looking at the Remote Server view on your computer.
Hope this helps.

Automating Batch Scripts & Sub Var changes

What is the most efficient way to automate batch scripts? Changing and updating substitution variables? I'm sure there are many ways to automate batch scripts. I was unsure how to do this with the Hyperion tools without purchasing a third party tool.

FWIW, We use BAT files and VBS scripts scheduled by Windows Task Scheduler (we use Win2k Server). Jeff McAhren Dallas, Texas

Sub Var's in ASO MDX?

Hi,
Have a calc: Qty = Rate * 100
However the 100 needs to change based on whatever criteria user has. Users say it could range from 1 to 250 and they want to be able to choose it at time they retrieve. I'm thinking the only way to do this would be to create 250 Account members named 'Qty 1', 'Qty 2', 'Qty 3' etc..... and then have each formula with the corresponding value from 1 to 250?
Qty 1 = Rate * 1
Qty 2 = Rate * 2
Qty 3 = Rate * 3
Then they just choose the proper Account?

Many will disagree with me, but I don't think it is a problem a calculation should solve. Because there is no rule or reason in place to determine the value. I think the best solution is to just store the rate and let the use calculate the result in their fornt end tool
