Turn off dynamic time series for a single account

I have a gross profit % account that is "store data." When users enter differing percents on a data form in Jan, Feb, and Mar, using any of the standard time balance properties (Fill, Flow, Balance, etc.) the amount displayed in Q1 is incorrect. Is there a way to display nothing in Q1 for this one account? I do not want to completely disable dynamic time series because it functions properly for all other accounts.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Ryan

there would be a lot of questions I would want to ask to answer this properly but let me cover some of the basics.
1) I don't believe there is a magic time balance you can attach to that account that is "empty" at Qtr and Year
2) You could hide the qtr and year in the form (unless the form also includes other accounts that show qtr and year)
3) what is the correct math for the quarter you would want
4) a) Probably the right answer is to create a calc that does the right math. My guess is Qtr and Year needs to wait to add up the amounts in another couple of accounts then do the division.
b) you create a calc that clears the qtr and year for that account as another option
but once you figure out which calc method you want to go with you then attach the calc to the form to run on save and the user shouldn't see anything wrong.

How to build dynamic time series for the time dimension

I am planning to build dynamic time series using rule file instead of manually.Please let me know if there is any property need to assign to enable DTS property for TIME dimension.
Edited by: 844104 on Mar 14, 2011 3:37 AM

In the load rule in the dimension build settings you would need to go to the tab dimension definition, choose the time dimension and right click on it. Select Edit properties. If you have not done so, set the dimension to be the time dimension. Then go to the generations/levels tab and set the generation names you need. For example if you want YTD, you would set the generation name to Year, if you want QTD set it to Quarter. You would set the number to the generation number that coorisponds to the generation. The DBAG has the list of names for all of the DTS members.

How to use dynamic time series in formula

I have Time dimension with active Dynamic Time Series for Y-T-D.
I'd like to use it in member formula - e.g. IF (@ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)")) - but this doesn't work as I get error message Unknown variable or member name.
Any idea how to work with dynamic time series members in formula?
Still using Essbase 6.5 X-(.

As Glenn mentioned, I also don't believe you can reference a DTS member in a formula, you would have to calc the YTD. Take a look at the @PTD function to calc Period to date numbers, I believe this function was available in v6.
Having said that, we're assuming you want to calc a ptd number, but your example was based on an IF @ISMBR(). So the question becomes what are you trying to do? Given what I assume your time dim looks like, what would be the difference between @ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)") and @ISMBR("Aug")

How to enable Dynamic Time Series?

Hi expert,
I tried to enabled Dynamic Time Series for an application, by go to Dimension Library, right click, select "Dynamic Time Series", then selected both YTD and QTD for generation 2 and 3 respectively, then refresh database.
But found seems the DTS is not enabled, tried to use in in Smartview, but cannot retrieve anything. Is there any further steps I need to take to enable DTS? Please help!
My HP application is on 11.1.2.1 and we use EPMA. Thanks!

You should really only have to do what is documented at - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_admin/epma_dts_members.html
This may be useful as well in Oracle Support - "Clarification on the Generation Level when Setting up Dynamic Time Series (DTS: YTD, QTD,..) for Hyperion Planning [ID 1334732.1]"

Issue in activating Dynamic Time Series - EPM 11.1.2

I am trying to activate Dynamic Time Series for one of Planning Application. To resolve the issue of reserved words, we have named "Year Dimension" as "YRS" in Dimension Library of EPMA.
However, in essbase outline the dimension name is still appearing as "YEAR". Due to this, YTD is not getting activated. Is there any specific place where one can alter the alias for a Dimension.
Has anyone noticed a similar anomaly ? Any input would be highly regarded.
regards
Navpreet
[PS : We are using EPM 11.1.2]

Nope that didn't work, but I figured out the error. I was running the command on a client machine. When I run the command on the server itself, it works fine.. well, now I have issues with my POVs, but at least it's finding my .csc file.
Thanks for your help John.

Creating Dynamic Time Series in Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management

I am creating Dimensions in Dimension Library for Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management. Please let me know if we can set Dynamic Time Series for HPCM.
I can see DTS Manager option for Period Dimension in Hyperion Planning but this option is not available for Period Dimension in HPCM Application.
Is there any other way to drill down upto weeks level or day level data in Time Series.

I am also facing the same issue. Does we have any option to create Dynamic time series in HPCM. Please let me know.

Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
This is really driving me nuts.....
Thanks

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
2. Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.” You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
I hope this helps.

ALternation hierachy for Period ROll DYnamic time series.

Hi
What is custom dynamic time series in period dimensions.
How it is to be build ?any insights that would help me to build in the planning application to build custom dynamic series capability.
Please guide me how can this be achieved.
Thanks

Thanks Mehmet that was really helpful.!!
Not sure if you can call it better, but I have developed the following alternate hierarchy at a client and it worked with no issues:
YTD(Jan): Jan (Shared Member)
YTD(Feb): YTD(Jan)+Feb (Both shared members)
YTD(Dec): YTD(Nov)+Dec
We didn't have a QTD hieararchy, but you can use the same logic.
Cheers,
Mehmet
YTD(JAN)+Feb (both are shared members) can you explain this.
SHared member is like a pointer to primary instance of member.that would be great if you can explain this what does both are share members mean?
and alos do these members needed to be set to dynamic ?

Using PeriodToDate MDX function in an ASO cube (Dynamic Time Series)

Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2
Since ASO doesn't support Dynamic Time Series (DTS), I am trying to use the "PeriodToDate" MDX function to get MTD and YTD totals. Below is my Time dimension:
Time (Time - Stored)
...I---> 2007
......l---> Q1-2007
.........l---> Jan-2007
............l---> 2007-01-01
............l---> 2007-01-02
............l---> 2007-01-03
.........l---> Feb-2007
.........l---> Mar-2007
......l---> Q2-2007
......l---> Q3-2007
......l---> Q4-2007
Syntax:
PeriodsToDate ( [layer [, member ]] )
I tried many different ways to get the right syntax but it didn't work when I set the formula on member "2007" for YTD totals or on months to get MTD. Any help would be appreciated.

ASO does not have Dynamic Time Series at all (unless something just recently changed)
Period to date functionality has to be managed via MDX formulas and/or alternate roll ups in your time dimension.
Time Balancing does have to be a stored hierarchy, which is what you generally want anyway. The issue you have with Time balancing is that some times if you have an alternate roll up in your time dimension, it can cause problems with Time balancing.
If you want to use Time balancing, I would sugest a single stored time heriarchy and use an anakytic view dimension for the period to date functionality.
You can see a post I have on my blog that talks about this: garycris.blogspot.com
One other thing to mention. If you wan to use built in time balance functionality, you must tag a dimension as Account Type and it will have to be a dynamic dimension.

Dynamic Time Series Alias Problem w Parens

When I have "Use Aliases" turned on, My Y-T-D function doesn't work if the time member alias uses the parenthesis character (I can't retrieve on a spreadsheet - the member isn't recognized).member: 2002_27 ... works greatalias: Week_27 ending 8/2/02 ... works greatalias: Week_27 (w/e 8/2/02) ... FAILSI can't find any documentation that you shouldn't use parentheses in alias names w/ the Y-T-D member.

Two pass won't effect dynamic time series. If the member was dynamic and you needed it two pass as well, that might make the order of the calculations different than you'd anticipate.
Dynamic Time Series will be calculated last so in your case, if you were selecting Y-T-D (Feb), the result would be M1->Jan + M2->Feb. I don't know if that will yield the correct result. I think you need to make sure the formula is correct for a given month and then see if the math should be calculating this way.

How to use Dynamic Time Series YTD on a calc script / member formula?

Hi,
I activated Dynamic Time Series on Essbase and would like to use the YTD function of a measure for a certain month.
I tried to use
MeasureName->YTD(Dec)
MeasureName->Y-T-D(Dec)
But couldn't use it to syntax problems. How can I call this function instead of using @Accum or @SumRange?
Thank you
Edited by: Icebergue on 10/Ago/2011 11:07

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can use DTS members in calc scripts or member formulas. As you probably know, they can be used in Financial Reports, SmartView and Excel Add-in.
You can create an alternate hierarchy in your Time dimension though:
Jan (YTD): Jan ->Jan is being a shared member
Feb (YTD): Feb+Jan (YTD) ->Both Feb and Jan (YTD) are being a shared members
Dec (YTD): Dec+Nov (YTD) ->Both Dec and Nov (YTD) are being a shared members

I am no longer able to turn off cellular data usage for individual apps. When I turn most of them off, they just automatically reset themselves to allow data usage. Any thoughts?

I am definately having the same problem and cannot believe there are no answers or even support that this problem exists. I never have to post on forumns, I read what is usually readilly availiable for the craziest of problems.
Anyways, the problem is just that, I can toggle off a individual app's setting of cellular data availability, but it changes right back on rescreening. After restarting, resetting etc, it seems that the big Apple Apps are the biggest offenders. Music is a very important one, Podcasts can kill you very quickly, app store, Photos, Facetime, Stocks?!?!?!
When one searches for solutions I have to see hundreds of links to "How great is ios7, you can turn off cellular data for individual apps FOR DUMMIES!". I am a dedicated apple fool since the Apple IIe (long time), but when they run afowl it is usually really bad. Why offer an on/off switch if the setting is always on?
I am writing just to add support to the existence of this problem, not so much for people to offer ideas of solutions as I now believe it is in the coding.
Thank you
