No Hierarchies: EPM - Member Selector Dim/EPM nw10/SP09 & EPM Add SP16 .net 3.5

[venkata_singanamala2]

Hello

I realized during Run package time that Dimension do not have "Hierarchy view"  EPM - Member Selector even Dimension has Hierarchy in Master Data.

But EPM Context menu, I am good and see each dimension with Hierarchy view.

I am  using EPM NW10 SP09 with EPM Excel Add in SP 16/.net 3.5

** One of machine/Laptop  has EPM Add in SP13 is working as expected(Hierarchies)***

Appreciate your time and advise

Thanks

Hi,

In the advanced script of package :"PROMPT SELECTINPUT " and "COPYINPUT" should be replaced with "SELECT" and "COPY".

1859224  - BPC NW: When using "PROMPT SELECTINPUT " or "COPYINPUT", members of hierarchy Nodes don't appear for selection.

Hope it helps...

regards,

Hi,

Just to clarify - SELECTINPUT allows only base member selection - no hierarchy! If you change it to SELECT the user will be able to see hierarchy but also be able to select parent members - can create a lot of issues!

Hi Vadim,

Until SP13, SELECTINPUT allows Hierarchy not only base members.

Thanks,

To my mind it was a bug, because per definition SELECTINPUT is declared as base member selector... Unfortunately in EPM there is no member selection form like:

Where user can see nodes, but unable to select!

We can select at parent level with relation ship.

Hi Raju,

Looks like you didn't understood my point:

We have 2 PROMPTs: SELECTINPUT for base members selection and SELECT for all members selection.

On the current SP SELECTINPUT works per definition allowing to select only base members.

But the issue is that it's not comfortable to select from the list of base members without hierarchy view. My proposal was to correct EPM code to show the form like in my previous post - for SELECTINPUT to show hierarchy but without checkboxes on parents!

Vadim

P.S. To allow parent member selection with SELECTINPUT is a bug to my mind!

Hello All

To provide better insight and please find enclosed following SAP response:

================================

A design change was introduced in EPM Add-in Client SP14 which

by default allow users to only select  non-calculated members only.

Hierarchy view can be restored by changing the MODIFYSCRIPT variable

to  SELECT / COPYMOVE  instead of SELECTINPUT / COPYMOVEINPU

=====================================

Hope , this is going to help other BPC folks

Thanks

Yes, it was clear, but definitely not convenient! With SELECT user is able to select a parent member - resulting in error...
