Use dimension in HSF freeform calculation

Hi everybody,
I want to use dimension structure in Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance Application.
I assigned a user defined dimension, to an account. Then, I used a different dimension for any other account. e.g: v300.00.001/A1 - v300.00.002/B1
Now, I want to create a freeform calculation for an account that names as v300.00.002/B1. My formula is; v300.00.002/B1= @DIM(v300.00.001, "A1")
But this fomula, send error "HSF14359: The formula for v300.00.001/A1 requires v300.00.002/B1 which does not exist in this file.
How can I solve this problem? Can I use freeform calculation with dimensional structure in HSF?
Thanks.

It's extremely annoying that the FLD() command isn't yet availlable in NW, unless it's coming with 7.5 or has been included in one of the more recent support packs.
As a an alternative you may be able to use the following MDX routine:
Returns the value of a property of the current member of a dimension
*function PRO(%DIMENSIONNAME%,%PROPERTYNAME%)
%DIMENSIONNAME%.Properties("%PROPERTYNAME%")
*endfunction
Unfortunately I've never been able to use this with a When statement, so you may have to ask an ABAP resource to develop a BADI to achieve your required results.

Using Dimension Formulas to sum data based on different criteria

Hi all,
I am trying to use a u201CDimension Formulau201D to perform the following calculation:
We have an account dimension which has 2 important properties:
1.     CRITERIUMTYPE: This property can have 3 different values: u201CWERKu201D, u201CINVu201D OR u201CLIQu201D
2.     ACCTYPE: This property can have 2 different values: u201CEXPu201D or u201CINCu201D
The client wants to have a report that sums data based on these 2 properties. An example will help to clarify this:
ACCOUNTS     CRITERIUMTYPE     ACCTYPE     VALUE
ACCOUNT A         WERK                          EXP               100 u20AC
ACCOUNT B         WERK                          INC               150 u20AC
ACCOUNT C         WERK                          EXP               200 u20AC
ACCOUNT D         WERK                          INC               300 u20AC
ACCOUNT E         INV                          EXP               50 u20AC
ACCOUNT F         INV                          INC               100 u20AC
ACCOUNT G         INV                          EXP               200 u20AC
ACCOUNT H         INV                          INC               500 u20AC
The clients wishes to see this data in the following way:
CRITERIUMTYPE     ACCTYPE     VALUE
   WERK                         EXP              300 u20AC
                                    INC              450 u20AC
   INV                         EXP              250 u20AC
                                 INC              600 u20AC
In order to achieve this I have created several new accounts, one for each combination e.g.: Account WERKEXP is used to sum the data on the combination CRITERIUMTYPE=WERK and ACCTYPE=EXP. I have created a dimension formula in my account dimension but this is where I am stuck. I have created the following formula to calculate the account WERKEXP:
IIF([BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="EXP",IIF([BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("CRITERIUMTYPE")="WERK",[BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER,0),0)
The problem with this formula is the following:
The formula will add all amounts that meet the 2 criteria mentioned in the formula, EXP and WERK, but as soon as it finds an accounts that does not match the 2 criteria it will set the account WERKEXP back to 0. I need to know if there is a way, using dimension formulas, of adding these values together without the new account being set to 0 as soon as one of the accounts it needs to check does not meet 1 of the 2 criteria.
We are working on SAP BPC 7.5 for NW with SP04
All help is very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Stefano

Hi,
You can also use ParentHn property to have different grouping of accounts within the dimension.
So in your case rather using the member formula you can have four accounts and add them in the Parenthn property for grouping it.
1. The Solution proposed by Nilanjan is specific for a Report/IS and Performance will be good
2. My solution will be global something similar to MDX formula, but performance may be slightly lesser than using excel function.
Hope this helps,

Logical column - Fact measure using Dimension value

Hello all, I have a Fact table that has a metric (Value) where I have set the Aggregation rule to Sum. Now I'd like to create a metric based on the value of a Product Dimension that joins to this Fact table. So I create logical column that has the syntax - Case When Product_Desc = 'A' then Value else 0 End.
The issue is in Answers when I bring this new metric in it doesn't bring in the correct value, are there steps I am missing with creating this metric?
My assumption is if I just bring that new metric in by itself it would return one record - A sum of the Value where the Product = 'A'.
Thank you

Hi BRizzle,
In your scenario, you creatre a calculated measure using the employee dimension, and then this measure show "#VALUE" on the pivot table, right? It seems that it's a limitation of using calculated measures in SQL Server Analysis. Calculated measures cannot
be secured using Dimension Security in a straight forward manner, in fact they won't be listed at all in the Dimension tab of the role where we define the Dimension security. When such measures are browsed in client tools like Excel, the value that would be
displayed is an error value like #VALUE. For the detail information about it, please see:
Limitations / Disadvantages of using Calculated Measures / Calculated Members in SSAS

Using Dimension Role

Hi Guys ,
I've created one dimension that i want to use it multiple time in one cube , so i defined two role for it (delivery branch, order branch) .
I used this dimension twice in sales cube with different role but when i want to deploy cube i got following error .
XOQ-01486: Consistent solve has two aggregation steps over dimension "DIM_BRANCH".
I Use Roalp with CubeMV storage option for my cube and dimension .
I've read in owb help that when we use Dimension Role , Oralce make seperate Dimension for Role in Olap Catalog , but when i deploy my dimension with two role , i can see only one dimension in awm .
I need your help.
thanks

We're going to need some more details about exactly what you did because it really sounds like you're making a mistake. This extra attribute should work.
The only situation I can think of where it might not work as intended is if your new attribute is a property of the state attribute... when you slice by the state attribute, it will override the default member on the new attribute.
What are your attribute relationships in that dimension? What do you get when you run the following MDX queries?
with
member test1 as [Geography].[State].DefaultMember.UniqueName
member test2 as [Geography].[NewAttribute].DefaultMember.UniqueName
select {test1,test2} on 0
from YourCube
select {} on 0,
[Geography].[NewAttribute].[NewAttribute].Members
*[Geography].[State].[State].Members on 1
from YourCube
As for the calculated member [Geography].[State].[All].[West], you can add to that to the MDX script (the Calculations tab in the cube designer) and it will be available to all sessions.http://artisconsulting.com/Blog/GregGalloway

No dimension assigned to restrict calculation scope...

Hi BPC Experts,
I am trying to load the rate information into the rate application using the Import data package when I am encountering the following error: "No dimension assigned to restrict calculation scope". I am wondering what might be going on. I am on BPC 5.1. Thanks.

Tim,
I am trying to load the rate information in the rate application.
A few typical record in my ASCII import file look like:
RATESRC,CATEGORY,INPUTCURRENCY,TIME,RATE,AMOUNT
RateInput,ACTUAL,GBP,2008.JAN,Avg,1.8325
RateInput,ACTUAL,GBP,2008.JAN,End,1.8415
The RATE application has the same dimensions as in ApShell - so nothing new here:
Actually if I run the import data management package without default logic, it seems to run fine. The error crops up when I run the "Import" data management package to run with the default logic.
Interestingly, if I comment out all the logic script and run the "Import" data management package with default logic, the error still persists. So, in my opinion, the error has nothing to do with the logic itself.
The Import data management package automatically runs with standard Transformation File "Import.xls" if I don't pick any transformation file. It is my understanding that I don't have to pick any transformation file if there is a header record in the data file.
The logic in the default logic is:

Error in WEBI report and MDXTEST when using Dimensions in Prompt

Hi,
I am using BOXIR3.1 SP2, SAPBI 7.0
I m creating a webI report (Universe is on SAP BI Query.) which include following objcets in Query section of WebI pannel:
Business partner, Account Class, Total Arreas count.
The Condition pane of Webi Includes Prompt on object "Account Class".
When I run a report, I get List of values for Dimension Account Class, when I select one of available value eg: Commercial Customer,I get Following Error.
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Commercial Customers] } ) ON ROWS FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002] failed to execute with the error Value Commercial Customers for characteristic Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS unknown. (WIS 10901)
I tried running same query in MDXTEST editor of BI. I got same error!!!
Then I tried changing the MDX Query as:
SELECT { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] }
ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM] } ) ON ROWS
FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]
Then it worked Fine!!! If you observe the change is in the value of Prompt Account Class [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]
By default Dimension object in Universe shows text value, but when I changed the MDXQuery with Key value (This is one of the value of value is for [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Level01] object in mDX test Editor.) It works fine.
I wonder How do i solve this problem!! List of values available in dimension cannot be changed at universe level.
Please let me know if any solution for this exists.
regads,
Nisha.

Hi Ingo,
I am creating the prompt on the dimension "Account Class" at WebI level.
The Technical name of this object is: [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01]
Also,
I confirmed that Index Awareness is applied on this dimension as [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME].
This Dimension has detail object called "Account Class (Key) "and "Account Class (Medium name)".
MDXtest editor in SAP, shows me text as well as [ Level01] values:
Eg: Account Class InfoObject has values "Commercial Customer " (This is text value)and "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]".
COM Refers to Commercial Customer .
So In WebI when I use Dimension "Account Class" as prompt, I get Text value of this InfoObject which is "Commercial Customer ".
and MDXQuery Fails. But when I modify this query in mDXTEST Editor with value as "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]", It work fine.
I donu2019t understand the reason, since this problem is with almost 90% of Dimension object.
When I delete this object from universe, and refresh the universe then webI works fine.
But, if for some reason I refresh the universe again, the Dimension object as a prompt doesnu2019t work!!!
This error occurs every time I refresh the universe.
We are in UAT phase and soon to go Live!! We cannot afford to delete the object every time I refresh the universe.
Please let me know your inputs.
regards,
Nisha.

Execution of a planning function with the used dimension values in a crosstab

Hello,
would like to execute planning functions within Design Studio but I don't really know how I combine this execution with the used dimension values in a crosstab for the .
Here the requirement:
3 Planning functions which should use the same filter (all values of all dimensions in the crosstab) and which should run one after another:
// open data slice
PF_1.execute();
// generate combinitions
PF_2.execute();
// close data slice
PF_3.execute();
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Tobias

Hi Arun,
in general it is not possible to nest planning functions. The inner function would update the data in the plan buffer without the outer function knowing about it. Also the inner function might be on a different aggregation level which would make things very tricky.
Alternatively you can include ABAP logic into a FOX formula:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/94eb78b6394befe10000000a42189d/frameset.htm
Or just create the complete logic in one ABAP planning function type.

Using DynamicCalc Members in a Calculation

I am facing a weird behaviour while I am trying to use DynamicCalc members in a calculation
I have 2 DynamicCalc members i.e. Total Volume, Total Revenue
Differences between them are the AccountType and Data Type properties. For the Total Volume, Account Type is SavedAssumption and Data Type is Unspecified, for the Total Revenue the Account Type is Revenue and Data Type is Currency
I was trying to perform the following calculation:
Total ARPU = Total Revenue/Average Subscribers
Total Usage per Sub = Total Volume/Average Subscribers
The first one works properly but the 2nd one result in an incorrect value and unfortunately I was unable to trace where did this value com from.
Any advise?
Thanks
Mohamed Adel

First you should check each item individually in business rule whether individual items are appearing correct or not.
First try
Total Usage per Sub = Total Volume
if the values is correct then try
Total Usage per Sub = Average Subscribers
If they are appearing correct then proceed for Total Usage Per Sub.
Total Usage per Sub = Total Volume/Average Subscribers
Through this procedure you will most probably identify the problem

How to Use Dimension Operator

Hi
I'm trying to implement SCD Type 2. I have done so using conventional methods.
I have read in some blogs that dimension operator can be used for SCD. Can any one provide me material on how to use Dimension Operator. I tried OWB User guide. But its not useful.
I have seen that we need to create levels. But i dont need levels.
Can somebody please tell me how to use it.
Regards
Vibhuti

Hi Vibhuti,
using dimensions with OWB 10g R2 isn't that difficult. You just create a number of attributes like an ID, a business key and probably a description and then associate each of the attributes with a level. You need at least one level that all the attributes are associated to. Then you can use the slowly changing dimension wizard (SCD) to track changes. In the SCD settings you can determin for which attribute you want to trigger history and which attributes contain your effective date and your end date (if you want to use SCD type II). Obviously you would need two additional attributes in every level for that purpose.

Jörg

Using dimension type u2018Subtableu2019 in BPC

Does anyone know about using dimension type u2018subtableu2019? Has anyone ever used it?
Thanks in advance
Nitin

The sort answer is - No - you need not use it if you don't want to.
In the application, the normal transactions would have some u2018catch allu2019 dimension member such as u2018noaccountu2019 assigned to them for this subtable dimension. You donu2019t have to use this subtable dimension since the same can be achieved by using other regular dimensions as well. However if you are not using the stored procedure, you can write SQL logic to accomplish the same. Alwyn Berkhout has given a good example of one such SQL code in an earlier thread in this forum. It is as follows:
*SELECT(%OPENINGACCOUNTS%,"ID",ACCOUNT,OPENINGACCOUNT_PROPERTY'')
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 2006.DEC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET SUBTABLES = F_CLO
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = %OPENINGACCOUNTS%
*WHEN SUBTABLES
*IS "F_CLO"
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS %OPENINGACCOUNTS%
*REC(FACTOR=1,TIME="2006.JAN",SUBTABLES="F_OPE"
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT

Anyone using Dimensions versioning? My dm-mapping.xml is missing.

I believe this may be related to my question 9254748 (Crash when using Dimensions version plug-in - key Failed to {0} file {1}
Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 (JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660)
Versioning Support (for Dimensions) 11.1.1.3.37.56.60
I've tried this on two different environments with 2 different Dimensions servers and have gotten the same behavior, so I'm assuming I'm missing a step others may have done successfully.
After debugging, it appears that JDeveloper is attempting to access a file called dm-mappings.xml located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.3.37.56.60\o.jdeveloper.dimensions
I have no such file. The files in this location are:
- dm-connections.xml
- preferences.xml
- vcs.log
- vcs.log.lck
I'm assuming based on other Dimensions-related posts that other people can use JDeveloper with Dimensions. Can anyone shed light on how this file gets created, or post a copy of your file so that I can attempt to get around this issue?
Thanks

Hello
This file is created when a folder or project is downloaded from the Dimensions Server using JDeveloper. If you create a dimensions connection and then using the versioning navigator (View -> Team -> Version Navigator) open the connection and navigate to the folder you want to work on. Select the folder and use the context menu "Download" to download the folder.

Would like to use apex_item to popup a calculator for a text item field, is this possible in apex 4.2.2?

would like to use apex_item to popup a calculator for a text item field, is this possible in apex 4.2.2?

I imagine you could reverse engineer what APEX delivers when you declaratively choose text field with calculator.
For example, the generated source includes an event:
onclick="calculatorPopUp_p_t01();"
These get added to the attributes of your apex_item.text() call.
Alternatively you just paste the entire generated content, escaping the necessary data.

Step by step procedure to use dimension operator

Is there any link ,where I can find step by step procedure to use dimension operator.. that is mapping data from source table to operator and from operator to table

please help me out with this

The dimension data object in the design tree is all about the semantics of the object - the description of hierarchies, levels, attributes PLUS how it is bound to some persistence.
The dimension operator object in a mapping is all about how the semantic object is loaded with data. Source to Dimension operator (under the covers OWB knows the semantics of the dimension and how it is bound to some persistence so can generate the expanded mapping).
There is an OBE below that is still pertinent to 11gR2 to understand some of this;
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/10g/r2/owb/owb10gr2_obe_series/owb10g.htm
You should only map business key columns (to identify a level), attributes for each level, and hierarchy relationship columns. The surrogate key columns are populated under the hood by OWB.

Using dimension values in calculations of cubes

hi ,
I am trying to build a calculated measure using a dimension values like for example
if a dimension is portfolio
having values L,X and C values
and the calculated metrics is like to be calculated only for L and for others it should show 0.
I created something like this
sum({[Portfolio Cd].[Portfolio Cd].&[L]},[Measures].[Annual Intr Amt Pl L])
the problem is that when this metric is drawn to check the values against this dimension it show same values for all the portfolios
where as it should show 0 for X and C .
Can anybody suggest a solution to this .?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Try using a CASE statement in your Calculated measure as shown in below sample
WITH MEMBER MEasures.SalesAmount
as
CASE
WHEN [Product].[Category].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION = "Accessories" THEN SUM([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
ELSE 0
END
SELECT [Product].[Category].[Category] ON 1
,MEasures.SalesAmount ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
