Unable to SAVE data through a data form in Hyperion Planning

Hi,
I recently migrated an application from development to QA using the LCM tool and refreshed the outline into Essbase using Planning Web. Once completed, i loaded the level0 data and aggregated it.
I opened a data form and tried to SAVE data and i get an error stating: "There was an error during the save process".
I tried saving the data using another form and i was successful at it. I re-migrated the data-form i was having an issue with and tried again. Thist time I get an error "Communication error with server. Callback failed for data entry page". This error shows up now on every form and every application.
Any suggestion on how to fix this?

I don't know if that patch will help you or not. It addresses a specific issue related to text data types. Your issue sounds similar, in that it appears to be triggered via the existence of specific data. The issue we were describing above presents itself when opening the form, and not when saving the form. I'm just guessing here, but it sounds as though there is some type of mismatch between the data types that Planning is expecting to display and save on the form, and the format of the existing data in Essbase.
You said that you can't save the form once the data is loaded into a particular version. Here's what I'd do to narrow the issue down:
1) Copy the data into your version so that the form will NOT save. (ensuring that the issue is present)
2) Start selectively deleting data from the version. Write a quick calc script that clears certain data, account, by account.
3) After each selective delete, make a note of the account you cleared. You'll only need to clear accounts that are present on the form.
4) After each selective delete, refresh the form, and then try to save.
At some point, I expect the save will be successful. You'll then know what data was causing the issue. I'm guessing that this data (probably a specific account) will have a data type that doesn't match up with the data in Essbase. It could be defined as a Smart List that wasn't migrated. Or a text value that doesn't exist in the app repository. Something like that.
Hope this helps,

Formatting header rows in data form in hyperion planning

Hello Friends,
I want to format header rows in data form in hyperion planning (formatting like Bold, Italic etc...) Is there any way to do that?

I could be wrong. That's why i thought i should post this one.
This is from 11.1.2.2.300 readme
Customizing the Style of Header Cells in Forms
Applying a bold style to all forms
1. From HyperionPlanning.war\custom, open HspCustom.css and insert this class code:
customheaderStyle
Font-family:<font>;
Font-size:<size>;
Font-weight:bold;
For example, to use bolded garamond 14 as the style for header cells you would specify:
customheaderStyle
Font-family:garamond;
Font-size:14;
Font-weight:bold;
You can also change the font and the font size in the same portion of code.
Perform the tasks in "Registering Customized Skins in Applications".
Applying a bold style to one form
Determine the ID of the form to customize by running this query in which ‘<FORM_NAME’ is the name of the form:
Select object_id AS FORM_ID,object_name AS FORM_NAME from hsp_object
where object_name like ‘<FORM_NAME>’
For example, to modify a form called "1.30 Per Payor – Metrics”, you would run this query:
Select object_id AS FORM_ID,object_name AS FORM_NAME from hsp_object where object_name like "1.30 Per Payor-Metrics"
When the ID is returned, create a css class in HspCustom.css using the following format. HspCustom.css is in HyperionPlanning.war\custom.
“customheaderStyle_<FORM_ID>”
Set font-weight in .customheaderStyle as bold as shown below. You can also change the font and the font size in the same portion of code.
customheaderStyle
Font-family:<font>;
Font-size:<size>;
Font-weight:bold;
To use different styles on individual forms, create a css class for each form.
so there is a way to create custom headers

How can I upload date data, like 2015/03/23 to Hyperion planning 11.1.2.3 ?

Hi all,
how can I upload date data, like 2015/03/23 to Hyperion planning 11.1.2.3 ?
Not necessary do it by FDM, please let me know if there is a way to do it.
Thanks a lot in advance.

FDM is not the best tool for doing something like this as it loads direct to Essbase and doesn't have the same support for loading text and date values that you get when loading this type of data via the Planning layer. Take a look at using the Outline Load Utility, the sage John Goodwin has a detailed description on his blog - More to life than this...: Planning 11.1.2.2.300 Outline Load Utility Enhancements Part 2 - on how to do this from a relational source although the bulk of it holds true if you were loading from a flat file.

Copy and paste cell content of web form of Hyperion Planning

Our end users encountered performance issues in using the web forms of Hyperion Planning. We have some large web form with 60 columns and 100 rows i.e. around 6000 cells. When end user move around the cell they feel a slow response in the web form especially when copy and paste some cell content from one row to another, or a few cells from one position to other position.
Anyone got similar experience in using web form? Also we understand that Hyperion design will check the cell content of each cell and generate a SQL query to the backend metadata database. It is quite time consuming and waste CPU resource because most of the time our end user will not keep the text information under each cell. We have consulted Oracle team and understand that we cannot disable the cell content checking via SQL query.
Any workaround solution exists to reduce or remove the performance issue in cell content copy and paste?
Thanks!

Hi,
We had faced the same issue a few years ago. One of our geeks had done a change in either Enterdata.js or Enterdata.jsp which disabled form cell validation. I don't currently have the code with me but it wasn't a big change really, remarking a function could be doing the trick.
I don't think this is officially recommended by Oracle though.
AlpThanks for your advice. We will try to locate the enterdata.jsp and enterdata.js and found out where the SQL being executed.We found out the Enterdata.js under the deployment directory of Weblogic. However it is over 400KB size and many many lines of codes. We think that it is very difficult to locate where should be customized to remove the SQL checking on cell content.

How to lock data independently for several groups in Hyperion Planning?

I 'm developing a forecast application using Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 where the users shall be able to enter their monthly forecast numbers. We have two groups of users. Each group may have up to two forecast updates per month. The groups are independent – say, Group A may have one update for August and they want the numbers to be there by August 10th, while the Group B may have two updates for the same month with the first update to be completed by July 20th and second – by August 5th. Nobody knows in advance how many updates they are going to have for the month and when they are going to have them. Nothing should prohibit the users from updating their forecast numbers for the future months – say, they may enter their September forecast in July.
Managers of both groups want to make sure that users don't change forecast numbers after the month close. If they plan to have two updates per month – they want data from the 1st update to be locked (become read-only) before they have 2nd update, and data from 2nd update locked after the month close; if they plan to have only one update per month – they want it locked after the month close.
Any suggestions how I may structure the dimensions of this application to make sure that if I lock first August update for Group B on, say, August 3rd, the other group still can have it open until August 10th?
Thanks!

Hi John
Well i have working knowledge in ODI, i did whole complete cycle and i did customization project for Oracle EBS to Data warehouse though ODI.
What, I am NOT able to figure out How to LINK Hyperion Planning Outline to Oracle EBS HR Tables. cause in Hyperion Outline i m able to view Dimensions Not particular Column to map with EBS HR Table (column).
Eample:
In EBS HR we have Employee Number in Per_all_people_f but in Hyperion Planning Dimension is ONLY Employee.

Data Integration from Oracle GL to Hyperion Planning

Hi all,
Can I knw the steps for extarcting the from Oracle GL Tables to Hyperion Planning?
We have installed hyperion 9.3.1 and ODI 10.
Please let me know how will we do this process by using ODI?
Thanks

Hi User##########,
In a nutshell you need to do the following...
1. Create a Project in ODI
2. Define your Source and Target data stores in Topology
3. Import the appropriate Knowledge Modules
4. Reverse Engineer your Source and Target modules to create a model
5. Create an integration to load from your Source (Oracle GL) to your Target (Hyperion Planning -- I actually prefer to load the data directly to Essbase)
I just did this last month. When loading the data I used an Essbase load rule to ensure Essbase knew the column order.
I was also able to load data via ODI from a flat file WITHOUT a load rule but the order of the data in the file was very important. I was also not able to substitute or alter the information in the integration when this was done. So in the end I still needed to have a load rule handy.
I'd recommend reading up on the ODI documentation for this -- some of it is actually quite good. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/nav/portal_6.htm Check out the "Oracle Data Integrator Adapter for Hyperion xxx" section.
-Chris
P.S. Check out John Goodwin's blog -- there's some neat stuff in there and you'll probably figure out some neat stuff on your own too.

Confused How to push Data from Oracle DB Tables into Hyperion Planning?

HI
I m Newbie to ODI. My DataSource is Oracle 11g Database (HR Tables) and my Target is Hyperion Planning.
I successful imported Oracle DB HR tables into ODI and Hyperion Planning Dimensions Like(Employee) but i dont understand in " ODI Interface" how i am going to do Mapping between Oracle tables and Planning application Dimension, am i doing wrong way?
I am confused if i have to push Data from Oracle 10g HR Tables into Hyperion Planning am i following right approach ?
Looking for your guideline...

How to calculate the size of web forms in hyperion planning?

Hi Experts,
I am trying to calculate the size of planning forms in Hyperion smart view., but i am unable to find out the way to calculate.
Can you pls explain how to calculate the size of web form in Smart view?
--- Srini.

Hi Srini,
First, here is what Oracle says:
Data Form Size Estimation:
To get a rough estimate of data form size, open the data form and select File > Save As from the browser. The size of the .HTML file is the portion of the data form that changes based on grid size. The .JS files remain the same size and can be cached, depending on browser settings. Information such as data form definitions, pages, and .gif files are not compressed when data forms are opened and sent to the Web browser.
I have not been able to find out using their method.
In any case, you can find out the size of grid by using below
1. Right click on the form grid and click "View source"
2. Save the source file as "Example.html"
3. Right click the saved file and click "Properties"
4. The Form size whould be same as that of file..
Let me know if it helps.
Cheers

Disable SQL query to celltext content in web form of Hyperion Planning

We are using Hyperion Planning ver 11.1.1.1. We found that there is a SQL query executed for each cell in the web form to query the SQL Server metadata database and check whether there are some celltext associated with this cell.
As we did not implement the celltext function to our end users, we would like to disable this checking. As some of our web forms have more than 10000 cells, generate 10000 SQL queries to the metadata database definitely is a performance issue.
We have asked Oracle team whether we can disable the SQL query but the answer is that no such option exist.
Anyone experienced this case and have workaround solution?
Thanks!

How do you transfer different types of data through a data socket (data types: clusters, images and boolean states)

I am attempting to transfer positional data (on a predetermined route) overlaid on a map and indications of boolean output states to secondary computer through datasocket (LabVIEW 8.6, Datasocket 4.5). Is it required to compress all these parts into an array which is bundled and transmitted to the secondary computer which then would have to be unbundled and separated out of the array? Is this the only option, or are there other methods? Also how would we go about these methods?

Hi Maruti,
It seems like the way you described would be the way to do it unless you wanted to pass all the data seperately.
Check out this KB relating to passing clusters through datasocket: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/1085057DB6F930058625672400646805?OpenDocument

Unable to saver images in a note within a Test Plan - STWB_2

Hi all,
While trying to edit a note in Tx STWB_2 (Test Plans), I'm not able to save an image on it. I can add and save text but no images. Other odd thing is that even when I click on "Save Active", the message "Document saved as raw version" appears. In case of text, the data is saved (as mentioned earlier). No mutter save mode I select the note is always saved as a raw.
Is this behavior the standard one or should I perform some actions? Could this message be linked to the fact that I canu2019t saved images in my notes.

Business Rules are disappearing from forms in Hyperion Planning v 11.1.1.3

We are using Calculation Manager to create business rules in a planning v 11.1.1.3 application using EPMA, web logic and SQL Server. We have had several instances where business rules that were attached to forms suddenly would disappear. The form still is aware that there is an attached rule, because the application and database name appears in the Business Rules section of the form. However, all of the business rules in the application are no longer visible (i.e. the rule names are blank). The only way we have found to correct the problem is to make a copy of the rules in Calculation Manager and then redeploy the rules and re-attach them to the forms. The old rules still show up with blank descriptions. This has happened at two different locations and seems to corresond with application deployment, although intermittent. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks...

If I understand what you're saying, I had the same or similar thing happen to me recently with v11.1.1.3, only I'm using classic Business Rules. I don't know why the problem occurs, although I think the root cause is probably related to inter-server communications, not to the corruption or loss of metadata. It happened to me in the target environment when I exported the rules from one environment and imported them into another.
When I encountered the problem, I opened and then saved (without changing anything) the business rule cluster I use for managing access rights. That resolved the problem, my guess is by giving the application servers enough of a kick in the pants to start talking to one another again.
I don't know whether this helps any, but I just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one who has seen this problem.
Regards.

Strange Hyperion Planning data form bug...

Hi all,
I'm having a very strange problem on a data form in Hyperion planning. When trying to input a number against a percentage type member, after pressing enter it sometimes displays as the number I put in - 0.00000000000000001 !!
So, for example, I input 0.47%, hit enter, and it changes to 0.469999999999999999 in the form. Even after I save the form, it continues to display this way. This only seems to happen for specific numbers - i.e. if I input 0.46%, press enter, it displays correctly as 0.46%. But I have this problem with 0.47% and other specific numbers, across all data forms, regardless of the member intersection where they're entered.
A retrieve in smartview shows it correctly as 0.0047, so I suspect it is not a problem with how the data in being input, but rather how it is being displayed by Planning.
Has anyone ever come across this or anything similar before? Any solutions that come to mind?
I'm using EPM 11.1.2.2. Have tested with Mozilla and IE - problem occurs with both.
Thanks.

Essbase represents numbers as double.
Go through this document to understand data precision (even though it is for 6.5, i think it is still valid)

Hyperion Planning customization on getting data from RDBMS posting to form

Hi, gurus,
I am having requirement to retrieve some data from RDBMS and put it on a particular form at Hyperion Planning. We had customized a bit on the same form with modifying its jsp file by adding in some access control upon various user login and add graphic icon. Could anyone share some light on this POC and my understanding is the data will go through ODI and pass to a temporary table and then update to the Essbase table, please comment and point me to the reference on Hyperion planning customization.
Thanks,
Fei

Hi,
You shouldn't need to go down the route of customizing planning, I would say only go down that route if all the options are not feasible.
In theory you should be able to use ODI to retrieve and transform the data from a relational table, then load it directly into essbase.
The planning form will query the data in essbase and present the data in the grid.
Cheers
