Use property value in *REC EXPRESSION statement

Hi,
How can I use the value of a property in a *REC EXPRESSION statement.
Assuming I have a property PRIORYEAR in my TIME dimension that indicates the same period in the previous year
Example: ID: 2009.JAN, PRIORYEAR=2008.JAN
I want to fetch the value from the PRIORYEAR with something like:
*REC(EXPRESSION=([TIME].PRIORYEAR),ACCOUNT="RENTASPERCSALES")
But it won't work. I tried few other options such as
*REC(EXPRESSION=([TIME].CurrentMember.Properties("PRIORYEAR")),ACCOUNT="RENTASPERCSALES")
to no avail.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Regis

Hi Regis,
Just checking, have you tried using 'TMVL' function in your script logic. Please check the help.sap for the usgae and some examples.
We could use TMVL in all the following places.
- in a 'WHEN' statment
- in an REC expression
- and also in a scoping statement.
We had some issues validating the script logic with TMVL in SP04 and teh same have been resolved in SP05. You might have to write the logic and validate the logic if your BPC version has any SP related issues.
Example:
*WHEN TIME
*IS TMVL(-1, 2010.DEC)
*REC(FACTOR=1, TIME=201.DEC)
*ENDWHEN
we could also use TMVL with a data manager prompt value such %TIME_SET%.
Thanks

Using property value in Allocation Logic.

Hi All,
Can we use a property value from one dimension as ID for different dimension in the Allocation Logic?
I have a category Actual which has a value of 2011 in the property YEAR.
I need to use 2011 in DIM TIME statement.If somehow i can get the 2011 value into a variable then i can use that variable in the DIM TIme statement.
EX:
*SELECT(%TIMEYEAR%,"ID",.....................................)   (This is where i need help ..in writing the statement)
DIM TIME WHAT = [YEAR]=%TIMEYEAR%; WHERE = %TIMEYEAR%(1).INP;   USING = %TIMEYEAR%(1).INP;
This would mean:
DIM TIME WHAT=[YEAR]=2011;   WHERE=2012.INP;   USING=2012.INP;
Can we get this to work in Allocation Logic?I need to know if i can get the value of the property into the variable?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
KK

Hi
I believe using the category property "YEAR" in the logic may not be a good idea. In case of next year, you need to change the property value "YEAR" to 2012...... and so on.
If you want to bring the current year as variable you can use system variable %YEAR%
%YEAR% - Returns current calendar year
DIM TIME WHAT = YEAR=%YEAR%; WHERE = %YEAR%(1).INP; USING = %YEAR%(1).INP;
Try and let me know
Thanks

How to use databank values in utilities.getSQLService() statements?

Hi,
I have configured conections.csv file containing fields
Connection,Hostname,Port,Service_name,DB_User_Name,DB_Password
and used the following statements to connect to the database:
          getDatabank("connections").getNextDatabankRecord();
          utilities.getSQLService().define("{{connections.Connection}}",
                    "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver",
                    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@{{connections.Hostname}}:{{connections.Port}}/{{connections.Service_name}}",
                    "{{connections.DB_User_Name}}",
                    "{{connections.DB_Password}}");
          utilities.getSQLService().connect("{{connections.Connection}}");
Unfortunately this did not work.
Is it possible to use databank values to parametrize connection to the database?
Thanks,

Hi Alex,
These 2 options worked OK
--- Option 1: using variables ---
     public String v_env, v_host, v_port, v_srv, v_usr, v_pwd;
     public void initialize() throws Exception {
          getDatabank("connections").getNextDatabankRecord();
          v_env = eval("{{db.connections.Environment}}");
          v_host = eval("{{db.connections.Hostname}}");
          v_port = eval("{{db.connections.Port}}");
          v_srv = eval("{{db.connections.Service_name}}");
          v_usr = eval("{{db.connections.DB_User_Name}}");
          v_pwd = eval("{{db.connections.DB_Password}}");
          utilities.getSQLService().define(v_env,

               v_usr,
               v_pwd);
          utilities.getSQLService().connect(v_env);
*--- Option 2: using eval("{{db.connections.<data_field>}}" ---*
          utilities.getSQLService().define(eval("{{db.connections.Environment}}"),

Use property nodes to change the state of a boolean through time

I want to be able to switch the value from a boolean control, using property nodes, so that if the time elapsed is equal to 0,1 ,2 ,3 s, it should be false and if the time is equal o.5,1.5,2.5 s, the value should be true.
Can some one tell me how to do this with propert nodes or with any other method?
Thanks in advance!

Logic Rec Expression

We are in BPC 7.5NW.
I have to refer 2 accounts and make a calculation and passon the value to 3 rd account in the same applicaiton.
I have written a logic as follows:
XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=ACTUAL,XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME= %TIME_SET%,*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC=ECC
*WHEN DATASRC
*IS ECC
//ACCT1/ACCT2 = ACCT3 (Value)(
*REC(EXPRESSION =(([ACCOUNT].[ACCT1])/([ACCOUNT].[ACCT2])),ACCOUNT=ACCT3,DATASRC=BPCUPDATE)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
After execution of package checked the result and noticed than the amount posted to ACCT3 is far higher than expected value by customer .
Is the any thing wrong in the REC/EXPRESSION statement.
Is there any better way to write the logic for the given scenario?
Appreciate/welcome inputs
Regards
Edited by: BPC Lover on Sep 28, 2011 8:39 PM

If you want to have formula like Account 1= Account2/Account3
Then the code will be:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=ACTUAL
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME= %TIME_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC=ECC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT=ACCT3
*WHEN DATASRC
*IS ECC
*REC(EXPRESSION =[ACCOUNT].[ACCT2]/%VALUE%,ACCOUNT=ACCT1,DATASRC=BPCUPDATE)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
The code will select only records with ACCOUNT=ACCT3 and for each record will divide the value in [ACCOUNT].[ACCT2] by the value in the current record (with ACCOUNT=ACCT3) and will store the result in [ACCOUNT].[ACCT1]

Script Logic: Using a property in MDX *REC statement (BPC NW)

Hi,
Is it possible to use a Property in an MDX statement without using *LOOKUP() function? I have script successfully working but it takes 15 minutes to execute and would like to speed it up.
I understand that [DIMENSION].[MEMBER].Property is not valid syntax, and do not believe NW has any other functions to resolve the issue, except *LOOKUP which takes a long time.
Specific Example is below:
I have a piece of script that successfully splits JV Expense by customers. A Profit Share planning driver determines the percentage that each customer is entitled to. Typically this will be 100%, but could be 50% between two customers.
The PROFIT SHARE planning drivers records, and PARTNER_INCOME transactional records are below:
ACCOUNT
ENTITY
PARTNER
SIGNED DATA
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_001
PARTNER_A
0.5
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_001
PARTNER_B
0.5
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_002_PLANNING_DRIVERS
PARTNER_B
1.00
PARTNER_INCOME
UK_001
NO_PARTNER
$5,000
PARTNER_INCOME
UK_002
NO_PARTNER
$5,000
UK_001 has two partners that are each entitled to 50% of the $5,000 NET PROFIT.
For UK_002, one one single Partner is entitled to 100% of the $5,000 NET PROFIT.
Using script logic, you can scope the Profit Share account (PROFIT_SHARE) - , and use a *REC statement to multiply this by the driver. It would look like:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = PROFIT_SHARE
*WHEN ACCOUNT
IS *
*REC (EXPRESSION = %VALUE% * ([ACCOUNT].[PROFIT_SHARE],[PARTNER].[NO_PARTNER]), ACCOUNT = PARTNER_PROFIT_SHARE)
*ENDWHEN
This wouldn't be a problem if the Planning Driver is always stored on the same Entity that the Income is stored on, but for UK_002, the planning driver is stored on another Entity - which is stored in a the PLAN_DRIVER_REF property of the entity. It should use UK_002_PLAN_DRIVERS
ID (Entity)
PLAN_DRIVER_REF
UK_001
UK_002
UK_002_PLAN_DRIVERS
UK_002_PLANNING_DRIVERS
In this scenario, we need to switch out the Entity used in the MDX, however I do not believe you can use a property in MDX - can anyone confirm?
I have currently implemented the *LOOKUP functionality to loop through, changing each *LOOKUP partner for each loop.
Lookup:
*LOOKUP PLANNING_JV_US
*FOR %LOOP_ASLS% = %ASL_LOOKUP_LOOP_VARIABLE%
*DIM LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%:ACCOUNT = "PROFIT_SHARE"
*DIM LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%:PARTNER= %LOOP_PARTNERS%
*NEXT
*DIM ENTITY = ENTITY.PLAN_DRIVER_REF                   //   Use PLAN_DRIVER_REF Property of Entity
*ENDLOOKUP
Scope and *REC:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = PROFIT_SHARE
*WHEN ACCOUNT
IS *
*FOR %LOOP_PARTNERS% = %PARTNER_LOOKUP_LOOP_VARIABLE%      // 1000 Partners
*REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE% * LOOKUP(LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%), PARTNER= %LOOP_PARTNERS%, ACCOUNT = TCOJVSHAR_CALC, AUDIT_ID = PP_EXPENSE_BY_PARTNER)
*NEXT
*ENDWHEN
The problem with the above, is that because the Lookup is being generated for every single Partner, there are significant numbers of loops.
Does anyone know of another way this can be implemented in Script Logic? Otherwise we'll need to explore BAdI route.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Use property in LOOKUP - will dramatically speed up the calculation without FOR/NEXT.

Concatenating a property in a REC statement

In a *REC statement I need to append a property value to a string to define the Account and have tried several iterations around the following without success:
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,ACCOUNT=1210_ENTITY.ACCTSUFFIX)
Where the Entity.AcctSuffix property may contain ABC, so the result I would expect would be 1210_ABC
I thought I had seen a similar thread in the past but cannot locate it, so my apologies if I'm duplicating a previous discussion
Any suggestions/guidance would be appreciated.

I have exactly the same situation working for me where I need to map data from a monthly to a weekly application, where I say:
*REC(TIMEDIM=TIMEDIM.YEAR.WMYTARGETWEEK
In this case MYTARGETWEEK is generated by a *SELECT used in a *FOR statement resulting in a weeknumber. and the ".W" are putted correctly in between.
so the result is a timemember like 2008.W52. But in this case the property is also the first part of the membername. So trying to relabel the account and testing the logic the other way around like Alwin suggests might be worth trying.

Using properties in a *REC statement

Hi
I want to copy the result of a cost center allocation from the source cost center profit center to the destination cost center profit center. We use a property on the cost center dimension to define the profit center of the cost center.
I first use *RUN ALLOCATION to generate the cost center allocation results but I then need to copy the results to the right profit center. I have written the following code to do this which validates successfully:
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS A10000
*REC(PROFITCENTER=COSTCENTER.PROFITCENTER)
*ENDWHEN
However when I run it I receive the following error message:
'RUN_LOGIC Property value not found'
Does anybody know whether it is possible to use properties in *REC statements and if so how I should write the logic?
Kind Regards
Wayne

Hi,
Try following code. However you should be sure that all the profitcenter property members of costcenter exist in profitcenter dimension members. For example if you have a member of costcenter like na_cc and if property profitcenter of this member is blank, this code doesnt work. So you have to add a XDIM_MEMBERSET.
XDIM_MEMBERSET COSTCENTER <,> NA_CC or
XDIM_MEMBERSET COSTCENTER = BAS(CC)
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS A10000
*REC(FACTOR=1, PROFITCENTER=COSTCENTER.PROFITCENTER)
*ENDWHEN
Hope this helps.

How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library in to a CSV file using Powershell

Hi,
How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library into a CSV file using Powershell?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
AA.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to get document set property value in a SharePoint library and then export into a CSV file using PowerShell.
I suggest you can get the document sets properties like the PowerShell Command below:
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
$siteurl="http://sp2013sps/sites/test"
$listname="Documents"
$mysite=new-object microsoft.sharepoint.spsite($siteurl)
$myweb=$mysite.openweb()
$list=$myweb.lists[$listname]
foreach($item in $list.items)
if($item.contenttype.name -eq "Document Set")
if($item.folder.itemcount -eq 0)
write-host $item.title
Then you can use Export-Csv PowerShell Command to export to a CSV file.

How to use return value from TestComplete ( using COM) as a variable in the conditional statement (e.g. while loop) in TestStand

Hi,
I have setup a COM interface for TestStand(TS) to run certain scripts in TestComplete (TC). Normally, when TestComplete finishes executing the script, it returns a 0 or 1 to denote pass/fail in the TestStand step (e.g String value test step). This worked fine.
However, now I need TestComplete to return a vaule( e.g 32) to TS, and TS need to evalue this value in a while statement. So if TC return value is 32, I'd have some statement in TS ike :
While (return value != 30)
Do something..
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are a hundred ways to implement what you are asking. The hard part is deciding which one would be the best for you.
What adapter are you using to communicate with TestComplete? ActiveX? Is TestComplete running asynchronously (in parallel)? If so then how is the data getting back to TestStand?
So here are some options:
1. You can use the While Step type. It's in the Flow Control folder in your Step Types pallette. Look in your examples under UsingFlowControlSteps.seq in the SequenceFlow
2. You can loop on a step and have the termination for the loop be (return value == 30). Look in the Step Properties under Looping. Also in the TestStand help
3. You could do Post Actions based on a condition and have it jump to another step. Read about it in the TestStand Reference Manual.
4. You could use a GoTo step. I don't really recommend this one. It makes code hard to maintain. Also an example in SequenceFlow called gotobeep.seq.
Hopefully this gets you thinking. Let me know if you have specific questions about any of these methods.

"Message from Webpage (error) There was an error in the browser while setting properties into the page HTML, possibly due to invalid URLs or other values. Please try again or use different property values."

I created a site column at the root of my site and I have publishing turned on. I selected the Hyperlink with formatting and constraints for publishing.
I went to my subsite and added the column. The request was to have "Open in new tab" for their hyperlinks. I was able to get the column to be added and yesterday we added items without a problem.
The problem arose when, today, a user told me that he could not edit the hyperlink. He has modify / delete permissions on this list.
He would edit the item, in a custom list, and click on the address "click to add a new hyperlink" and then he would get the error below after succesfully putting in the Selected URL (http://www.xxxxxx.com), Open
Link in New Window checkbox, the Display Text, and Tooltip:
"Message from Webpage There was an error in the browser while setting properties into the page HTML, possibly due to invalid URLs or other values. Please try again or use different property values."

The farm is running SharePoint 2010 SP2 Enterprise Edition August 2013 CU Mark 2, 14.0.7106.5002
and I saw in another post, below with someone who had a similar problem and the IISreset fixed it, as did this problem. I wonder if this is resolved in the latest updated CU of SharePoint, the April 2014 CU?

Again, if I update my SharePoint 2010 farm to April 2014 CU is this going to resolve the issue I have?
I don't mind changing the JS file, however I'd like to know / see if there is anything official regarding this instead of my having to change files.
Thank you!

We had the same issue after applying the SP2 & August CU. we open the case with MSFT and get the same resolution as you mentioned.
I blog about this issue and having the office reference.
Later MSFT release the Hotfix for this on December 10, 2013 which i am 100% positive should be part of future CUs.
So if you apply the April CU then you will be fine.

Additional Results Custom Step using Variables in Name and Value to Log expressions?

I am trying to create a Custom Step Type for logging additional results - requiring a single Name and Value data pair included in the step.
I want to pass the name and value data in using two specific variables.
This functionality can of course be explicitly coded on a test step without problem, but I can't find a way to create a custom test step which inserts such a step i.e. automatically inserting the correct variable names into Name and Value to Log fields.
Any ideas how to accomplish this? I don't want the custom step users to have to type in the variable names every time they use it.
I am using TestStand 4.1.1
Message Edited by CIM1 on 04-20-2009 07:26 AM

Hi CIM1,
There are a few ways of doing this.
The simplest one would be to configure the expression in the Pre-Expression or Post-Expression (depending on whether you would like the Step Type to use the value in the variables or write the value to the variables) and then from here you can lock away the expressions from being edited. The caveat with this method is that you are obviously restricing the Pre/Post-Expressions for the step type.
Another Method would be to code some code modules to Write to/Read from the Variables and then calling these in the Steps Pre-Step SubStep or Post-Step Substep. The advantages of this method would be that you can search for the Variable, and if the variable is not present, you could create it before writing to it.
Hope this Helps.
Best Regards,
Steve H
