Error: 1200471 Error parsing formula for FIX STATEMENT (line 1): expression expected before [)]
This is error it throws when executing the calculation script
I wonder whether its a problem with substitution variable i want to know wat went wrong inside the fix statement
I have created substitution variable use maxl
Installed the essbase in custom manner and standlone mode nt register with the shared services ,
Is this problem with the custom installation of essbase

If you remove the substitution variable and replace it with the actual value (whatever that is), does the code work? That will tell you if the issue is around the substitution variable or not.

  • Unable to Declare a Temporary Variable in Calc Script

    We are using Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Administration Services. 9.2.03.0.44
    I am trying to declare a temporary variable in a calculation script.
    We have found several guides and examples in the support documentation that give us a step by step instruction on how to 1.) declare the variable, then 2.) Assign a value.
    Example:
    /* Declare the variable */
    VAR TotalAllocDept;
    /* Baseline Fix */
    FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
    /* Assign a value to the variable */
    TotalAllocDept = ("Alloc_HR"+"Alloc_IT"+"Alloc_FIN");
    ENDFIX
    /* Allocate overhead based on Total Alloc Dept Variable */
    FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
    "Alloc_5xSS" = @ALLOCATE("Alloc_Overhead","Account", TotalAllocDept,, share);
    ENDFIX
    However, when we try to check the syntax, we are given various error messages such as:
    Error parsing FIX STATEMENT "invalid object type" and
    "Invalid member name" and
    Invalid Calc Script syntax.
    Can anyone suggest some techniques that we can try or alternative ways of entering the text to make it possible for us to use temporary variables?

    A variable must be declared within a calc member block and can only exist for the scope of that block.
    This would work (not that you would necessarily want it)"
    /* Allocate overhead based on Total Alloc Dept Variable */
    FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
    "Alloc_5xSS"
    TotalAllocDept = ("Alloc_HR""Alloc_IT""Alloc_FIN");
    "Alloc_5xSS" = @ALLOCATE("Alloc_Overhead","Account", TotalAllocDept,, share);
    ENDFIX

  • Using a business rule to set the substitution variables

    Hi All,
    I am having issues with setting the value of Substitution variable from a Business rule.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Shakil

    Thanks for your response, John.
    I am trying to set the Substitution variable through a data form on which the Business rule is attached.
    The admin guide for Planning states that "You can set substitution variables on the Essbase server,
    application, or database level. The same substitution variable can exist on multiple levels;
    Planning uses the first one it finds as it searches in this order: 1) database 2) application 3)
    server." So I believe that it should be possible.

    We reset the installation so many times and tried again, but it always shows same error at same phase.
    Even we have restarted the whole host in case some port was used. But it also did not help. For me it seems to problem on this host as one other portal system on same host has this error during EHP upgrade.
    While same upgrade was finished successfully on other systems on different host.
    If anybody has some hint related to this problem, then please let me know. Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sunny Pahuja

    hi,
    ya we resolved it successfully. in our case a lot of systems are installed on same host. And we found that our one of system was using the port 6240 which generally used by SAPehpi to connect to JSPM.
    We shutted down the system and tried to restart the upgrade and it finished successfully. And even we did not faced this problem again in any of systems installed on this host.
    So, please check all ports are free which are used by SAPehpi.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to increase the substitution variable value length?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to increase the substitution variable value length to higher value? I checked the SQL User Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/apa.htm) and it says that the limit is 240 characters.
    i just want to know any workaround for this issue?
    Thanks.

  • Automating the Substitution Variables

    Hi All,
    I have created the substitution variables manually on the server, but when i have to change the variable every month i have to go back to the server change it every month. I mark it in my calender and when the reminder pops up, i go ahead and make changes once in a month. So for instance, imagine i have created the below variables this month and the next month i have to change it accordingly (Per9 to Per10, Per8 to Per9 & Per10 to Per11) by going back to the server.
    Is there a way for me automate this process via windows scheduler so that it changes automatically on the day i technically want the changes to reflect on the server.
    "Application" "Database" "Variable" "Value"
    KPIFIN KPIFIN CurMon Per9
    KPIFIN KPIFIN priorMon Per8
    KPIFIN KPIFIN NxtMon Per10
    Could any one of you help me in this issue?
    Thanks,

    You can use maxl and create a batch file and schedule it, this has been covered many times on here and a quick search will reveal lots of posts, for example have a read of :- Re: Update variables

  • How to SIMPLY use the %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variables into logic scripts

    hello,
    I'm using a prompt of type "COPYMOVE" or "COPYMOVEINPUT". In this type of prompt, there are 2 columns of dimension members list, one for defining the "source zone" and one for defining the "target zone" of logics.
    The left colum of the prompt (for source zone) feeds the variables %DIMENSION_SET% : %ACCOUNT_SET%, %ENTITY_SET%, %CATEGORY_SET%, etc...and these variables can be used in the logic scripts in *XDIM_MEMBERSET instructions for example.
    The right colum of the prompt feeds the variables %DIMENSION_TO_SET% : %ACCOUNT_TO_SET%, %ENTITY_TO_SET%, %CATEGORY_TO_SET%, etc...and I don't know how to SIMPLY use these variables in the logic scripts.
    I've found a tricky way to do that but I meet 2 problems :
    - it is complicated
    - the multi-info instruction (BEGININFO/ENDINFO) seems to be bugged as blank lines are added all the time in the code and sometimes I have to wait for minutes when I try to modifiy the package code through BPC for excel eData/modify package menu.
    So the question is how to SIMPLY get the %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variables into logic scripts and use them ? Thanks, R.
    Here is the tricky package code I use at this time (I build one function for each %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variable and I pass these functions to the logic) :
    PROMPT(COPYMOVE,,,,"ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,TIME,YEARS")
    TASK(Execute formulas,USER,WS-WW\PlauchuR)
    TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,US)
    TASK(Execute formulas,APP,SV)
    TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV\PrivatePublications\PlauchuR\TempFiles\FROM_1561_.TMP)
    TASK(Execute formulas,TOSELECTION,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV\PrivatePublications\PlauchuR\TempFiles\TO_1561_.TMP)
    BEGININFO(%FSS%)
    *FUNCTION TARGETACCDETAIL=%ACCDETAIL_TO_SET%
    *FUNCTION TARGETACCOUNT=%ACCOUNT_TO_SET%
    *FUNCTION TARGETCATEGORY=%CATEGORY_TO_SET%
    *FUNCTION TARGETDATASRC=%DATASRC_TO_SET%
    *FUNCTION TARGETENTITY=%ENTITY_TO_SET%
    *FUNCTION TARGETTIME=%TIME_TO_SET%
    *FUNCTION TARGETYEARS=%YEARS_TO_SET%
    ENDINFO
    TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,%FSS%)
    TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV
    ..\AdminApp\SV\_TEST.Lgf)
    TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
    TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
    Edited by: ALEXANDRE BEDIER on Jun 16, 2010 3:15 PM

    hello,
    finally I've discovered that there is no need of BEGININFO instruction.
    One can pass several functions to a logic with one FORMULASCRIPT task. The functions definitions have to be separated by instructions. See below :
    PROMPT(COPYMOVEINPUT,%FTARGETS%,,"select source and target zone for category and datasource.","ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,TIME,YEARS")
    TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,*FUNCTION TACCDETAIL=%ACCDETAIL_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TACCOUNT=%ACCOUNT_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TCATEGORY=%CATEGORY_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TDATASRC=%DATASRC_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TENTITY=%ENTITY_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TTIME=%TIME_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TYEARS=%YEARS_TO_SET%)
    TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
    TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
    TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
    TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
    TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\_TEST.LGF)
    TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
    TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
    Then one will be able to use the functions TACCDETAIL, TCATEGORY, TACCOUNT,... in the logic script.

  • Substitution Variable Issue while exporting from Essbase.sec file

    Hello All,
    I have an unusually distinct problem.
    I have 2 environments (Development and Production) where each environment has a seperate server with Essbase installed in it.
    When I tried to get information of the Substitution variables using the 'export security_file to data_file' command through MaxL and then checked the output file in Development, it showed me the right number of substitution variables and their values.
    But when I did he same with my Production environment it gives exactly 1 less no of substitution variables in the export file, specifically the last substitution variable that was updated through the Essbase Administration Console.
    I guess it is not updating the Essbase.sec file with the last updated Substitution variable. But I can't understand why since the same functionality works in development but not in production.
    Thank You.

    Hi all,
    In addition, I exported the Essbase.sec file after a long time after changing the Substitution variable and now it does show the updated substitution variable.
    I feel that Essbase does refresh the Essbase.sec file but after a long time. Is there some setting within Essbase that is done which refreshes the artifact files after a while. Or is this a setting within the system in which Essbase has been installed (in my case Linux).
    Also the Substitution Variable that has been created is for (all apps) and (all dbs). Is this the reason why this is not working because I tried changing some other Substitution variable which is for a specific app and a specific dbs and it worked fine.
    Thank You.

  • Using variables in Calc scripts and Business Rules

    I am sure there have been previous discussions about this, but can somebody let me know the benefits of using variables in Calc scripts and BRs?
    Thanks,
    A

    I have never used calc variables and after reading a study guide, which talked about them, I couldn't really understand the benefits.^^^I use variables all the time to make abstract difficult formulas. Below is an example.
    /*     Declare variables     */
    VAR varSalaryCosts ;
    VAR varProdOHLabXXXX ;
    VAR varXXXX ;
    A whole bunch of code here along with very limited FIX statement and then...
    "Salaried Labor"
         varSalaryCosts = "Salary Costs"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "Wage Bonus"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "YYYY Retention Bonus 40%"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "YYYY 60% Ret Bonus Accrual"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" ;
         varProdOHLabXXXX = "Number of Employees"->"ZZZZDepartments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +
                             "Number of Employees"->"Blah Departments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +
                             "Number of Employees"->"Humph Departments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +
                             "Number of Employees"->"TTTT"->"Codes"->"Salaried" ;
         "Salaried Labor" = varSalaryCosts * ("Number of Employees"->"Salaried" / varProdOHLabXXXX) ;
    )The last formula is how the formula was described to me by the business owner. I find it to be much easier to read than something like:
    "Salaried Labor" = ("Salary Costs"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "Wage Bonus"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "YYYY Retention Bonus 40%"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "YYYY 60% Ret Bonus Accrual"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried") *
                             ("Number of Employees"->"Salaried" /
                             ("Number of Employees"->"ZZZZDepartments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +           
                             "Number of Employees"->"Blah Departments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +
                             "Number of Employees"->"Humph Departments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +     
                             "Number of Employees"->"TTTT"->"Codes"->"Salaried")) ;I have used ARRAY in a really-cool-but-alas-not-invented-by-me calc script to do currency conversion in Planning better than Planning does currency conversion. (How's that for a run-on sentence?) It is one of the six blog posts I am working on and I will finish it soon, I hope. I am sort of in thrash mode right now. It does have its uses and I'll try to remember to update this thread when I'm done.

  • Create Report Layout (Apex 3.2) - How can I set the substitution variables?

    Hi,
    I created a "Report Query" under "Shared Components". I now want to work on the corresponding "report layout". I created a "Generic Columns (XSL-FO)". I read the following in the documentation:
    The following are valid substitution strings:
    #PAGE_HEADER#
    #PAGE_HEADERFONT_COLOR#
    #PAGE_HEADER_FONT_FAMILY#
    #PAGE_HEADER_FONT_SIZE#
    #PAGE_HEADER_FONT_WEIGHT#
    #PAGE_FOOTER#
    #PAGE_FOOTER_FONT_COLOR#
    #PAGE_FOOTER_FONT_FAMILY#
    #PAGE_FOOTER_FONT_SIZE#
    #PAGE_FOOTER_FONT_WEIGHT#
    #PAGE_WIDTH#
    #PAGE_HEIGHT#

    #HEADER_FONT_COLOR#
    #HEADER_FONT_FAMILY#
    #HEADER_FONT_SIZE#
    #HEADER_FONT_WEIGHT#
    #BODY_BG_COLOR#
    #BODY_FONT_COLOR#
    #BODY_FONT_FAMILY#
    #BODY_FONT_SIZE#
    #BODY_FONT_WEIGHT#
    #BORDER_WIDTH#
    Where can I set the values for these substitution variables in my "Report Layout"? Could someone give an example? I can't seem to find documentation on this.
    Thanks!
    Francois

    Thanks for the tip however I'm not trying to do this through the print tab, I'm calling the report using the following get_print_document in pl/sql code:
    l_report_blob := apex_util.get_print_document(
    p_application_id => l_application_id,
    p_report_layout_name => l_report,
    p_report_query_name => l_report,
    p_report_layout_type => l_output_format,
    p_document_format => l_output_format,
    p_print_server => null);
    Where could I set these substitution variables ? I'm simply calling a report query and layout created under Shared Components.
    Thanks

  • Unable to use #A01# substitution variable in dynamic list

    Greetings...
    I am attempting to generate a dynamic list on the page.  The list will contain a flag indicating whether the list entry is actually hidden to the user or not.  If it is hidden to the user, then I want to apply a particular class to that list entry when rendered.
    The dynamic list has the following SQL:
    SELECT null lvl,
           menu.menu_nm label_value,
           q'!javascript:$s('P32_MASTER_MENU_ID', '!' ||
              menu.menu_id || q'!');!' target_value,
           null image,
           null image_attribute,
           null image_alt_attribute,
           case when menu.hidden = 'Y'
                  then 'class="hiddenNode"'
                  else null end attribute1
    from ( select 'N' hidden, vis.* from std_vw_apex_menu vis
            union all
           select 'Y' hidden, hid.* from std_vw_apex_menu_hidden hid ) menu
    where menu.menu_ty = 'MAINMENU'
    order by menu.sort_order
    I am then using a list template with the following as the "Current" list entry:
    <li class="active"><a href="#LINK#"><span #A01#>#TEXT#</span></a></li>
    ... and the following as the "Non-Current" list entry:
    <li><a href="#LINK#"><span #A01#>#TEXT#</span></a></li>
    The result I see in the rendered page however is that the substitution is not happening, as indicated in the following snippet :
    <li><a href="javascript:$s('P32_MASTER_MENU_ID', '18893191201');"><span #a01#="">Education</span></a></li>
    We are on ApEx 4.2.1.  What am I doing wrong as I've seen other threads indicate that it is possible for dynamic lists to use substitution variables in their list templates.
    Shane.

    I found the solution at Attribute substitution  not working in templates for dynamic lists.
