Changing name of a Plan Type... One of the ways...


We have an application with one plan type say its name is "console", now we want to migrate this application with a different plan type name say "con1". Here are the steps which will help you out with the same. 

Note: Make sure the plan type name is less then 8 characters otherwise you will end up in issues. 



You can take the file system backup of the application Once its done you can find the same at below location:


Here I have name file system backup as "Backup", a xml name listing.xml contains the artifacts listing its present at Backup/info/:


Plan type information is also stored in "Application Definition.xpad" file, location Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\import_export\<User>@Native Directory\Backup\resource\Configuration\Properties:


You can also find a folder name with the Plan type name, in our case its "Console":



Here I have taken a copy of File system backup and modify the listing.xml, Find Plantype name and replace it with the new name, I have replaced "Console" with "Con1":



Do the same with Application Defintion.xpad:


Rename the Plan Type folder:



Our CopyBackup is now ready for import:



Perform import.



Here in our application with new plan type name:






Cheers...!!!

Why My Data Form is Still Read Only...!!!

Why My Data Form is Still Read Only...!!! There are times when we wonder why our data form is read only, there can be many reasons, various points can be checked to get rid of this. I will try to jot down few of the them which  may  take you out of this situation. 1. Refresh the database, because whenever you open a data form, Planning communicates  with Essbase to retrieve data for that combination, if the member  is not present in Essbase  then the form will be read only for a particular row if the new member is in the row. 2. The next thing that can be looked if its a read only form or not. To check it, you can edit the  web form and can look in the other option's tab and make sure Make Data Form Read Only is  not checked, you will find this option under Display Properties, here is a   link  for details. You  cant check this option for Composite data forms. 3.  Make sure all the members in the data ...

The Member Does Not Exists For The Specified Cube

Image
The member "" does not exist for the specified cube or you do not have access to it. Issue:  If you are running into a issue, where for a RTP member selection is throwing an error for a missing member, this regardless of the member you have selected in RTP or regardless of rule. You may be able to execute the rule from Calc Manager and not from Planning. Reason: You may run into this issue if: 1. You have added members in Planning and have not refreshed the cube 2. For the default value of a RTP in calc member you have a member which is not valid any more for planning application 3. For the default value of a RTP in calc member you have a member which is not valid any more for a plan type Solution: 1. Refresh cube 2. Update Default value of RTP which is causing issue to member which exists 3. Deploy the rule Rahul S.

Calculation Scripts:- Session 11

Image
Ways to create data blocks: 1. Data Load, 2. DataCopy Command, 3. Sparse Dimension Consolidation, 4. Member Formulas: 4a.  Assigning  a constant value to a sparse member, 4b. Turning Create Block on Equation setting on and  assigning  a non constant value, 4c. Create non missing blocks Data load: The moment we load data to  Essbase , It creates block for those combinations  automatically. In data copy we copy data from source to a particular destination, it this case  there is no need to create the blocks, data copy command takes care of it. Same is the case  with Sparse Dimension Consolidation. Here we will be concentrating on how to create block when it comes to calculation scripts,  before we do that, why we need to create blocks using calculation scripts?? This is because (if  we talk about level 0 blocks) Essbase runs calculation on existing blocks, For e...
