Re: New Active Form Behavior

It's not something that I've noticed happening yet. What version of PAFE are you using? Have you checked the named ranges to make sure they are covering the other columns? I know normally it would just expand to cover everything without intervention but wondering if something has changed where it ne...

Re: MDX IIF to check if Element Exists

Hi, Your issue stems from the fact that with a StrToMember function you are telling it that the member DOES exist; so when it doesn't find it the system will throw an error. A set can be "empty" but a member can't be. The idea of doing a COUNT with IIF is a good one but the count needs to ...

Re: Updating Dimension Data via PAW Using Sets – Issue with Element Weights Not Copying

Presumably in your TI process it is using the DimensionElementComponentAdd function (or HierarchyElementComponentAdd - the logic is the same) where you specify the parent and child elements that will form the relationship, the number at the end of that function is the weight which will be applied to...

Re: install PAW in windows server 2019

How long did you wait to see if it started up before going for the reinstall? It's normal for that screen to appear when starting the PAW services and can remain there for a while if the server doesn't have a lot of resources. What are the specs of the server you are installing it on? And is there a...

Re: Rule Efficiency

Interesting I will cede to standing knowledge if the DB is usually significantly slower. I was basing it on a fairly small test case I had done (all in one model) where there are a lot of hierarchies with same named elements (between hierarchies and dimensions unfortunately) - so it probably skewed ...

Re: Rule Efficiency

It does look redundant. The only reason I can think of to write the rule that way would be if you wanted to keep the cell editable so users can add a value in this cube for the non rule-derived cases. E.g. if a % has been provided in the master cube we will use that one; otherwise users should/can a...

Re: Rule Efficiency

Hi, I don't get why the DB is needed in the above rule, so I was thinking this would be better: Technically it terms of performance DB performs slightly better than shorthand; you are unlikely to notice any difference from changing just 1 rule but it could add up if its every rule in a rule heavy s...

Re: Zero out with DBS on consolidated element

The DBS formula is cell specific so when you try updating the consolidation it is only trying to update that cell and it finds that it is a consolidation which means it is non updateable. When you manually type into the cell with something like "C" or "S0" you are actually callin...

Re: SingleCommit with MultipleCommit

The difference is a commit step after each of the TIs, or only 1 commit after all TIs are finished. With one potential "gotcha" proviso; it only applies to TI processes which are called from the chore itself. If you have to call (say) an upload process a variable number of times, and ther...

Re: Excluding elements with wildcard search

Hi, As you have found; subsets are just a list of members - but it is just a pre-applied "selection" of members within the dimension. The user is still interacting with the dimension; so the second they make any sort of change (e.g. expanding or collapsing a consolidation) they are no long...

Re: Distributing String Values ​​Within a Cube

If this wasn't a control dimension; you could add a consolidation to the }clients dimension and feed that - feeding a consolidation is essentially just shorthand for feeding every N-level element under the consolidation. However, I would not recommend it with a control dimension (you can add consoli...

Re: Use of + in Element names

I've never used it as an actual element name; but I regularly use "-" as a calculated member in MDX views to create spacing rows and columns.
I've never had any issues with that in PAW or PAFE.

Re: Block user in PAL

Hi,

I haven't used it in a while but there is an "IsDisabled" flag in the }ClientProperties cube.
If you put a 1 in there it should stop the user from being able to connect.

I haven’t used the bedrock processes before but looking at the parameters you are passing a 1 to a “temp” parameter.
