Using hidden dimensions on data form (Planning V11)

Hi,
I’m using EPM – Planning 11.1.1.2.0.
I’m building a data form. I’d like to use 5 dimensions in columns of my table. And I’d like to set hidden 2 of 5 these dimensions.
My trouble that Planning can show me this data form if hidden ONE dimension has been set LAST in order. In other variants I had an error (browser IE was crashed). If I set TWO hidden dimensions (has been set LAST in order) Planning shows me data form but when I try to enter data my browser was crashed again.
How can I build my form to use it (hidden dimensions in table columns) successfully? I can't found any limits to use hidden option for dimensions in columns in admin guides for EPM 11.
Have you such trouble too?

NoFog, Hi!
11.1.1.3 is now available on e-delivery!
I want ask you another question. Did you solve V11: Essbase Exception: ESSG_ERR_OPERATIONFAILED (1100027) problem?

  • Use of Dimensions in APO DP Planning Object Structures

    In APO DP Planning Objct Structures, I know that it's possible to assign Dimensions to characteristics.
    The standard help documentation suggests this is 'to improve performance'.
    Can anyone give practical guidance about how to assign Dimensions to improve performance?
    Thanks,
    Bob Austin

    the characterisitcs are grouped logically using the Dimensions
    the use of dimensions allows data to be stored in a combination of dimension tables and fact tables
    the dimention table consists of the dimension number, a primary key characteristics you assign to the dimension
    the primary keys from various dimension tables link up at the fact table and to the values stored in it
    so you can think of a star schema of tables with the dimension acting as the link
    so when you look for a particular value the dimension table is first quesried based on which the fact table the primary key is linked to is looked up
    in order to improve performance, make sure you dont assign too many characterisitics to one dimension
    try to logically group the characterisitics - geography for eg can be made of state, region (not material type)
    you can also try to match the dimension with the selections you will be using in the planning book,
    dimension tables could grow as your characteristic values increase so SAP advices you keep an eye on it (i am not sure of how functionally you can help this but i believe basis will be able to help you with allocating space on an oversized table)
    there is a document somewhere in sap marketplace that i am not able to find a link... hopefully someone will link it up here

  • Working with dimensions in data forms

    Hi All,
    I am creating a data form in one of my classic planning application, using Hyperion 11.1.2.
    Suppose i have two custom dimensions with two members in each of them:
    Dim1 (Mem1, Mem2)
    Dim2 (Mem3, Mem4)
    Now i place both of above dimension at column level in my dataform and its looks like the following
    ========================
    I........Mem1........I.........Mem2.........I
    ========================
    I.Mem3..I..Mem4..I..Mem3..I..Mem4..I
    ========================
    Where as i want to have Mem3 and Mem4 under Mem1 only, which will look like this
    ========================
    I........Mem1........I.........Mem2.........I
    ========================
    I.Mem3..I..Mem4..I..........................I
    ========================
    Is there any way to achieve that?
    Secondly, if i chek "Place each member in separate column" while selecting the members of Dim1, then the above structure looks like"
    ========================
    I..Mem1..I..Mem1..I..Mem2..I..Mem2..I
    ========================
    I..Mem3..I..Mem4..I..Mem3..I..Mem4..I
    ========================
    Is there any way to merge these repeating names without unchecking that checkbox?

    Hi,
    all data exists at the intersection of all dimensions - so I do not see how your form would work without certain dimensions.
    However, you may want to create certain 'non-members' like 'NoPeriod', 'NoEntity' if for some reason you need data that exists without reference to these dimensions. (You would still have to select them in your form design)
    What are you trying to achieve with regards to your second question - is this just presentational?
    regards,
    Robert.

  • Hsp_Rate Dimension on data form

    Hi,
    I have a multicurrency planning application and have web many webforms to input data. When i open a web form in edit mode i dont see any member from the dimension HSP_Rates dimesion on form. I guess its not possible to not select any member from that dimension?
    IS there a default value of member that all the data forms take to input the values?
    Please advise!
    Thanks

    Yes it is HSP_InputValue.
    More information from the documentation
    Multiple-currency applications include the Hsp_Rates dimension for storing exchange rates. It includes these members and others that store currency rates:
    * Hsp_InputValue: Stores data values
    * Hsp_InputCurrency: Stores currency types for data values
    When generating reports or loading data, refer to the Hsp_InputValue member. When loading data, you must load data against the local currency. You need not refer to the Hsp_InputCurrency member.
    Cheers

  • Selection of ICP and custom dimension in data forms

    We are investigating the possibility of changing our divisional reporting – and we are looking into different possible solutions. Maybe you can help us?
    We eliminate on both ICP and divisions (custom1= division, custom2= divisional counterpart).
    We have 150 ICP entities and (in the future maybe) 100+ divisional counterparts (custom2). However, one entity only has 10-15 divisions (and not 100+).
    Do you know of a smart way to choose ICP entity and custom2 in a data form – so the reporting will be easy for the reporting companies?
    Ideally I would like to be able first to select ICP entity (add member function) and then at the same time select a custom2 (divisional counterpart) – but only choose between those custom2/divisions that the company has. I do not think you can add member functions for both ICP and Custom2 at the same time in a data form?
    Do you have any suggestions?

    We thought about that solution but it would not follow good metadata structure (more like Hyperion Enterprise). We are hoping for a clever solution to make the webforms work.

  • Hide dimension in data form also hide the data

    Hi all,
    It might sound simple, but i still could not found a workaround for this problem.
    so here is the problem:
    1. example i have dimension lineItem with member line1, line2, line3
    FY13
    Jan | Feb | ...
    line1 | 1 | 1
    line2 | 2 | 2
    line3 | 3 | 3
    2. i want to hide the line information so i choose to hide dimension for dimension LineItem. but instead hiding the dimension, it hide all the row (so no data shown).
    3. i try to hide dimension that is used as column but everything is fine as the following:
    FY13
    line1 | 1 | 1
    line2 | 2 | 2
    line3 | 3 | 3
    Anyone have this experience or method about how to hide dimension in row but still keep the data?
    (i'm using hyperion 11.1.2.2)
    Best Regards,
    Feri

    Hi SM,
    Thank you for your help, actually i have another dimension in row as the following:
    FY13
    Jan | Feb | ...
    new sales | product A l line1 | 1 | 1
    l line2 | 2 | 2
    l line3 | 3 | 3
    i already test it again and i get the following result:
    1. if i only have 2 dimension in row: product and LineItem (hidden) i get the following:
    FY13
    Jan | Feb | ...
    product A | 1 | 1
    product A | 2 | 2
    product A | 3 | 3
    (it work fine)
    2. if i have 3 or more dimensions in row, i get the following:
    FY13
    Jan | Feb | ...
    new sales | product A | 1 | 1
    (it only show one row which is the line1, it seems like it cannot handle if we put more dimensions)

  • How can I fix the 1st column width (member) in Planning data forms

    Hi all,
    does anybody know a trick, how I can fix the first column width in planning data forms? I need a composite data form (Planning 9.3.1) and the problem is, that in the first form the member names are longer. So Planning sizes the column as it is needed to display the full member name. The member names of the second data form are shorter, so the data entry cells are not exactly among each other for both data forms and that looks terrible....
    Thanks and kind regards
    André

    There are 3 ways of setting the width in webforms:-
    1. There is a global setting for input box length which has a syntax of FormInputBoxLength=30.
    2. When you specify the format for each of the dimensions you can choose to select the width of either a column heading or a row heading. In the following example, each time you specified the dimension ‘Account’ a format would be applied to its header. The syntax for this would be something like… HeaderOptionAccount=Length:50,Style:font-size: 12pt;font-family: calibri
    3. Each column can have its own width specified. The syntax for this can be setting in each of the column’s code. For example C6=Blank,Style:Background-color:rgb(203,218,231);width:3 would just show a thick vertical line as the width is so small.
    You can not set widths in data grids through the normal settings. You can manually change the widths and save the grid though. This can be done in the xml directly. For example… <HDRWIDTH idx=”0″ width=”50″/>.
    Then load the amended xml file back into the system.

  • Replacement string variable in data form

    Hi everybody,
    in Planning 11.1.2, is it possible to set a replacement variable, with type String, and then use it in a data form to let the user inserting a string value (i.e "actual")?
    I need to reuse the value inserted in a business rule. I think to use the @MEMBER to refrence it to the corresponding dimension member.
    For example:
    If I define a string variable named SCENARIO and the user insert in the data form "actual", can i reference it in a cross-dimension:
    Account1->Peiod1->Fy12 -> @MEMBER(SCENARIO)
    does this cross-dimension return the value corresponding to Account1->Period1->FY12->Actual?
    Thank All
    Maurizio

    Why you just don't use RPT with type Member ?
    Users chose member name from the LOV (no chance for mistake) and run your rule

  • Unable to edit Data Forms in EPM 11.1.2.1

    Hello Gurus,
    I have recently exported the form from EPM 11.1.1.3 and have imported it to EPM 11.1.2.1 successfully without any issues.
    I then checked the Data forms to see if the forms load properly and I have observed that it is not using the Alias dimensions for the Page/Point of view dimensions.
    Now when I try to edit the form I get the following error/message. I am not sure as to how I can edit the form.
    You cannot edit an ad hoc grid from this context. If you have an Ad hoc grid creator role, open it, and use Save.I am not getting as to how I can edit this form so that I can select the option to use Alias in the data form settings
    Thanks
    HyperEPM.

    Hi HyperEPM,
    To solve your problem, try to follow these steps:
    1. Create a report into the EPM 11.1.2.1 platform. Then export it.
    2. Open a report exported from EPM 11.1.1.3 platform and copy all the "query" tag (<query>...</query>).
    3. Select all the "query" tag from the report you've exported from the EPM 11.1.2.1 platform and paste the tag that you've copied in the previous step.
    4. Import the updated file.

  • Dynamic add row/columns to data forms(11.1.1.3) v/s (11.1.2.1)

    Hello All,,
    There used to be an option in Hyperion planning 11.1.1.3 to Dynamic add rows in data form. I don't see this option in planning 11.1.2.1 ?
    Could you please suggest how we can grant right users to add dynamic add rows and columns in data forms? or it is possible in 11.1.2.1 ?
    out user want to have a feature of adding row in data forms (planning forms)
    Thank you
    Edited by: 842804 on Aug 17, 2011 12:49 PM

    Do you mean 11.1.2, if so then adhoc web forms really take over from adding rows as they add much more functionality.

  • Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

    Hi Everybody,
    if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
    So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
    I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
    Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
    Thank all guys
    Bye
    Maurizio

    Thanks EW for your answer,
    YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
    I have 500 account members.
    For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
    So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
    I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
    The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
    {Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
    Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
    "PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
    endfix
    So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
    Thank you Ew, thank you guys

  • Forcing use of Supporting Detail in Hyperion Planning data form

    Hi everyone.
    We're using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.2 and for one particular data form, I'd like force users to HAVE TO use Supporting Detail on specific cells. I think there might be a way to do this using custom JavaScript functions and modifying the form code but I am wondering if there is a way to do this without code on the form. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    A quick simple example
    function customCellEnterPre(row, col, cell) {
         if(row == 3 && col ==1)
              doSupportingDetail();
         return true;

    What's the error ? You have to use a function, otherwise it will only display the member you picked.
    Actually in our dimension structure we have a 3 generation hierarchy and the attribute is only associated with the 3rd generation member. So we want to display the 3rd generation having the specific attribute "xx" wit the entire hierarchical structure in our data form.
    Can you please tell me if I have missed anything?
    Thanks.If you want to display the attribute value in the form, edit the form, go to the "Layout" tab, and click on your row. On the right side of the screen, you have a section called Display Properties. Check the box called Enable custom attributes, then check your attribute name. Save the form and you will have the attribute value displayed at the right of the member name.
