Years/Time Periods Security Issues Planning 9.3

Has anyone heard of a bug/fix related to being unable to provide security access to years and time periods in Planning 9.3?

What bug are you referring to? This is by design.
Scenario member properties can be used to turn everyone's access to years and time periods on/off.
Are you looking to allow some people to have access to a mix of years and periods? This can often be met through form security -- build the form(s) to access just the periods/years you want or don't want and then allow/disallow access.
And of course all of the other dimensions can have security down to the individual member (if you're into pain).
Or is there something more you're trying to accomplish?

Security Issue in Planning. Unable to write to particular Year member

Hello Everyone,
I am currently facing a strange security issue in our PRD environment. I am unable to lock and send any data or punch the data in directly through a dataform for a particular Year, Scenario and Version combination. I have all the write access set up on these dimensions directly from planning interface and configured myself as Admin through Shared services.
Dimensions are as follows:
Year
-FY11
-FY12
-FY13
Scenario
-Forecast
Version
-Working
I can key in the data for FY11+Forecast+Working BUT all the cells in the dataform appear to be green for below combination:
FY12+Forecast+Working and FY13+Forecast+Working
I am not sure whats happening here as I have right security setup and Forecast is setup correctly too, from FY11 to FY13 for all the months(Jan:Dec).
Please Help
Thanks

Hi John,
Yes the months are setup correctly. I resolved the issue. We had a replicated partition connected to it, which pushes data to my application for FY12 and FY13. The partition needed to be dropped. Now I can see the cells in yellow.
Thanks

Security issue with page drop down on planning form 11.1.1.3

I'll buy a round of Newcastles for anyone that can fix this issue.
Planning 11.1.1.3 a given user is given @idescendants write access to a cost center rollup that has shared members underneath. The stored members are in a primary rollup higher up in the hierarchy. The webform has the cost center selection on the page drop down. The first child in the rollup does not display. This occurs for every rollup, the first child member is not visible i nthe drop down. So for example, the outline looks like this:
primary cost center hierarchy (stored)
rollup1
--ccxxx stored
--ccyyy stored
alternate hierarchy (shared members)
rollup2 <--------------user has write access to @Idescendants of this rollup
--ccxxx shared
--ccyyy shared
In the page drop down, only the ccyyy member shows. Not the ccxxx. Dev has the same access applied and both show correctly. I've tried refreshing security, pushing filters from plan to essbase (even though this is metadata security in planning) and nothing fixes. Webforms are identical. My next step is to restart the planning service when i get down time but was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue.Always the first child of the shared rollup that doesnt display.
Edited by: EssbaseInAz on Nov 4, 2009 3:11 PM

Exports are identical. In fact, prod security was cleared and reloaded using an export from dev. after the upload i re-exported prod and compared the export to what was loaded (export from dev). Security is identical. This only for users with security set on the alternate hierarchy rollups up. Admin members are fine. One test i did do was to give access to the first child that is not displaying up on the stored member. If i do that, the member will show. But that's not really feasible in this security setup and it does not explain why the exact same security works fine in dev.
I thought about about the second issue you raise. it does seem to behave like that. but the part is tagged never share, not label. Same as in dev, which works. plus like you said, that situation only seems to arise when the members are on the row and even then, the member displays, it's just set to read only. I'm wondering if there's some flag set in the relational backend that's causing an issue or something like that. I've pushd the filters to essbase and using a test id setup i can replicate this issue, but with an excel retrieve i can obviously see the member (since metadata security isnt applied in excel) and i can also see the data for the missing cost center. So, its somewhere in planning where the metadata security is applied. I might poke around the planning tables and compare to dev to see if i can find any smoking guns. Really bizarre. Plus tomorrow i've got a window to restart the planning service to see if that helps.
Thx for the response Jake and if you have any other suggestions i'm open. If i find a solution i'll let you know.

Hyperion planning data form in smartview: problem with summary time period

We are using Planning ver. 11.1.2.2.300.20 and smartview 11.1.2.2.300 (build 070)
We use common Data Form:
In columns: Periods (Descendants including YearTotal - with no checkbox on start expanded)
In Rows :accounts
In some of our users computers,
When they open Data Form in Excel (with Smart View) - its appears very strange:
Summary Accounts are displayed as level 0 account in the summary Period columns (i.e. not in grey) and permit entering data.
In addition when Entering data in summary time period (i.e. Year or Quarter),
strangely, the data doesn't spread to the descendants months (level 0) .
This phenomenon occurs just in few of the computers.
Please help, how can we overcome this problem?
Thanks and Regards
Tami Kedem

Hi Celvin,
Thanks for your rapid response!
All computers have the same version of planning and smartview.
The computers where the Periods spreading and aggregation properties in Data form are not working,
do work wonderfully when opening the Data forms in the web.
I've tried everything, (remove suppressing, validations etc.):
In all kind of data forms the spreading and aggregation properties on summary time periods are not working in smartview -
and summary accounts on rows are not displayed in grey and permit entering data.
We remove and reinstall MS-Office (2007) from the problematic computers, but it didn't help.
Do you know if there is any kind of settings or softwares that might cause this phenomenon
i.e. interrupts the smartview translation of the web Data Forms.
Thank and best regards,
Tami Kedem

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Unexpected change to Time Capsule address--security issue?

I received a message that my Time Capsule address had recently changed and that possibly someone might be trying to use my Time Capsule other than me. I checked the configuration of the Time Capsule and it was still assigned to my Airport router. Since I had not changed the TC address, could someone have hacked into my WiFi even though it is secured with a password?
When I clicked the box opting to backup to the TC, I found that all my previous backups were gone. Now, when I access TC, the message indicates that I am accessing a "server" which I don't remember seeing previously.
I am a computer novice and am afraid that I may have a security issue.

Did you recently do an upgrade to the OS in the computer or even firmware...? The later might have popped up a message you hardly noticed.
These changes can affect things.
If you are using WPA2 Personal security for wireless with a decent password you are very unlikely to have issues. Put that one at least to rest. And the access via the rest of the network, well that just depends on setup but it is generally extremely difficult.
To lose your backups is rather odd. Please go to the airport utility and check how much space is used on the TC hard disk.. if it is about what your backup were then they are not lost.. but merely changed name.. or the computer changed name. Mount the TC disk and check exactly what is there and see if you can reconnect to the backups.
B5 and B6 here might be a help. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You can also do a reset of TM .. A4 and see if you can reconnect to the TC and that should help you get the connection back to your backups.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

Comparing a time period and a date via trigger....

Hi ,
There are among others three tables....
Table material
   material_code number
   onomasia   varchar2(50)
   guarantee_end_date date
Table supplier_contract
     contract_code number
     start_date date
     end_date date
    supplier number(5)
Table supplier_contract_material
      contract_code number
      material_code numberThe table material , for each material contains the guarantee_end_date , whereas the other two contain info about the materials that should be replaced/fixed/ e.t.c by the supplier in the specific time period (start_date - end_date).
The thing that has to be done is there have not be any overlap of the dates.... In other words , when a material is bought then this is covered for replacement by the end of the date (guarantee_end_date in the first table). After this date there should be contract with the supplier for this material for a specific period (start_date - end_date , in the second table).
I want to secure the database that when the end_user tries to update this time_period(start_date - end_date) before or between the guarantee_end_date ("when i say between the guarantee_end_date " , i mean the condition guarantee_end_date between start_date and end_date is not acceptable) then an alert would be raised ....
So , I wrote the following trigger:
create or replace trigger trg_check_eggisi
before update on supplier_contract
for each row
declare
guarantee_end_date_var date;
begin
   begin
     select guarantee_end_date
       into guarantee_end_date_var
       from material a, supplier_contract_material b
      where a.material_code=b.material_code
       and b.contract_code=:new.contract_code;
     exception
      when no_data_found
       then return;
    end;
   if guarantee_end_date_var>:new.guarantee_end_date_var
     then
     raise_application_error(-20021,'NOT_APPLICABLE');
   end if;
end;The problem is that the error ORA-01422 is raised ... because more than 1 material may be contained in the specific contract....
Do you have any idea...????
many thanks ,
Simon

Hi John,
As you want to display the planned value of Depreciation for future years,
since this is not possible you can display the planned values only for that year and that too for subsequent periods, you will see the Yellow icon stating it is planned which is not yet posted in the posted value Tab,
Since if you want to display planned values for future year you have to post Depreciation for subsequent period and close the fiscal year and again same procedure follows....

Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
Any help would be appreciated

Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

Possible Mac Mail Security Issue

A couple of times each week, I'm receiving returned e-mail messages that describe mail that I did not actually send. The "undeliverable" addresses in the Mailer-Daemon notifications are unfamiliar and involve a different overseas address for each notification.
Every aspect of the computer runs fine. in four years of being a devout Mac convert, I have not seen this type of problem until the past few weeks. So from my standpoint, the false notifications are just a minor annoyance. I've been deleting them. But, I wonder if there could there be a security issue or some other problem?
Thanks very much,
Charley

I am experiencing the same thing and it has just started in the last few weeks also. I get the mailer-daemon messages telling me I have had my emails rejected to people that I don't even know nor do I have anything to do with the message being rejected.
I am concerned that my computer has somehow been compromised but do not know whether or not this is the case.
The issue is how do we try to stop this - I read elsewhere that the email password needs to be changed but I am not sure if this is actually going to do anything at all.
Anyone have a suggestion to stop this?
Thanks

Loading Period 0 - Time Period

Have a question in Hyperion Planning. We have a Time Period Dimension with two Children (Beg Balance and Year Total). Year Total has the usual childeren (Q1, Q2, etc) and the Q's have the usual children (Jan, Feb,...Dec). Where do people load Balance Sheet accounts? In our GL (PeopleSoft) we have a Period 0 which holds the roll-forward of the balance sheet accounts. I was thinking it gets loaded to Beg Balance, but in our outline, Beg Balance is ignored (~). Thx.

Technically speaking, you can always create an alternate base time period member that is dynamic calc and summarize show sum of year total and beg balance.
You can for example call this member "YearTotal with BegBalance" and the member formula would be something like (Jan+Feb+Mar+Apr.....+Dec+Begbalance).
Although the common approach is marking Balance Sheet accounts time balances as Last, it's still technically OK to mark them as Flow as long as you report the accumulated figures in Months. Balance Sheet accounts are always cumulative. You can use dynamic time series (YTD) to report cumulative reports using periodic amounts.
Cheers,

Customize period dimension in Planning

Hi John,
Can we customise period dimension in classic planning application as below
YearTotal
Q1
APR
MAY
JUN
Q4
JAN
FEB
MAR
ADJ1
ADJ2
YEARTOTAL= Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4+ADJ1+ADJ2
The source ERP system has 2 more periods apart from the 12 months ADJ1 and ADJ2. We also should have a drill back facility for this

If you are creating a new application you could create it with 14 custom time periods, then once created add the summary time period.
Q1,Apr,May,Jun
Q2,Jul,Aug,Sep
Q3,Oct,Nov,Dec
Q4,Jan,Feb,Mar
Adj,Adj1,Adj2
which should all roll up to Year Total
If you have already created the application then you could create a custom hieararchy as a child of the period
Cheers
John
