Re: PAX exploration view automatic recalc?

As a start, are both of you in Automatic calculation mode in Excel? PAfE works better like this whereas Perspectives was better suited to Manual.

What version of PAfE are you both using?

Re: Need Help with a feeder

If you are using PAW as the UI and assuming you are just trying to show the PLC Rate, you could use a derived Member to get the value from the underlying cube and display it in the exploration. No feeding as it is purely for display purposes.

Re: ViewSubsetAssign - what am I doing wrong?

Probably not going to solve your problem but one of my pet hates is random variable names. Why pDir for the new of the new hierarchy? Is this a poor convention picked up from the consultant? Why not call it what it is, pHierarchy? Same would go for all variables used. Be descriptive for the next per...

Re: Rules with virtual hierarchies

A little gotcha for anyone following this or reading on CellValueN.
Had an issue on a rule not workingas expected. A silly typo, but rules editor does not warn of invalid hierarchies or elements.
Best to try use the intellisense/Ctrl+space (in PAW) to avoid silly mistakes...

Copying a tab from one PAW book to another

If you have ever needed to copy a tab from one PAW book to another, please read this article on the IBM Community. It describes how to locate the necessary source JSON and how to insert it into the target book. This obviously saves a whole lot of time needed to recreate the tab as well as reducing t...

Re: Migration from Perspectives to PAX

An update on this one. I got a response from Sami that DBR and DBRA are identical in PAfE (REST API world).

Documentation has also recently been updated to reflect that they are identical and both effectively WAN-optimised.

Re: Hierarchy security update require a call to SecurityRefresh Function

Think I had something similar and ended up adding this along with the HierarchyElementSecurityPut statements iirc:

Code: Select all

#--Give Access to see a particular hierarchy in the dimension
CellPutS(sElSecurity, '}DimensionSecurity', pDim | ':' | pHierarchy,  sGroup);

Re: Automatically update time dimension

A couple of things here but the main one is that your apostrophe should be after the month number and before the pipe, not after the year.

Edit: Also best to do meta data updates in meta data otherwise you may rather want to look at the Direct commands for your inserts.

I have used M_Clear in macro code previously but has some additional erratic behaviour like suddenly having your connection close.

Hopefully someone else has a better alternative…

Re: Strange behaviour of Subsets used in DBRW

What happens if you create the new sets, close Perspectives and Excel then open and connect again?
Could be a meta data sync issue where new objects are not available/recognized.

For my case, we wanted to avoid having users copying things around. I guess we could have also created a script that does the copy of the necessary files to the relevant folder.

Re: quote issue on a MDX TurboIntegrator function

Another approach to consider is using Expand() - This makes these MDX queries easier to read by limiting all the quotes needed: vMDX = Expand('{FILTER(TM1SubsetAll([vDimension1].[vDimension1]), ([vDimension1].[vDimension1].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("vAttribute1") = "%vValue%")}');
