Genesis cannot start: "Value cannot be null."
Hi What to do when I get this error messages in Genesis: Unable to open dashboard 'OpenPlace_(Designer)'. Error processing DataSet 'GetWFSteps'. Error executing Workspace Assembly Service class 'Workspace.Gen.CubeViewCharts_x2x.MUAssemblyFactory'.Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'reader'). How to reset? The problem happens when working with Block: Cube View Charts. It will not read my cube view and give the following comment: Value cannot be null. An error messages that is difficult to work with, as it does not say where the problem is. But this second, as I cannot get into the genesis instance.
Dynamically changing a Cube view row to allow Input
I have a requirement to allow users to enter an Annual Plan and spread it across Plan Periods using the spread method they select. Spread Methods are Equal Spread, 4-4-5 Weekly Spread and Manual. When they select "Manual" the cube view should dynamically pick O#Forms as Origin member for Data Entry. I have the Account and Product in rows with member expansion (.Base). Is there a way to retrieve the Base Account and Product from Cube view dynamically and reference in an XFBR?My plan is to get the Spread method chosen for the Base Account and Product combination and Return the Origin as O# Forms for that row? Please share any other ideas if you may have implemented for the same requirement?
Cache dashboard results to improve performance when switching tab?
Hi folks: I am searching for suggestions to improve reporting performance in dashboards. We have a couple of simple, executive dashboards that consist of 5-10 tabs of cube views. These work great for managing a common set of reports for end users. Parameters are managed within the dashboard and persist when switching cube views (tabs); all that works great. However, users complain that it is slow to switch between cube views (tabs). It appears that each cube view is re-run when switching tabs rather than simply displaying the data that was previously refreshed. While most reports take <2 seconds to run, a few can take in the 8-15 second range which is deemed unacceptable. Are there any methods (formal or hacked together) for caching cube view results so that switching tabs simply displays already refreshed data rather than re-running the cube view? Thanks, -db
Cannot reference member expansion 1 from member expansion 2
Hi, I have a cube view with a straightforward requirement. Below is an example of my requirements using the Golfstream app. My rows are set as follows: Member filter 1: U2#Clubs.ChildrenInclusive:name(UD2: |MFUD2Desc|) Member filter 2: T#2011Q1.ChildrenInclusive:name(Time: |MFTime|, UD2: |MFUD2Desc| The below screenshot shows what this returns. The issue is that I need to reference the member filter 1 member from member filter 2. When I use |MFUD2| from member filter 2, it reverts to my top UD2 member rather than reading my UD2 member from member filter 1. I need this to do a more complicated loop through members, and that loop must take the row's UD2 member into account. Any advice or workarounds? User-created parameters and |CVUD2| do not return what I need.
Pass through external parameters into dynamic cube view services
Hello, Is there a way to pass a combo box paramater into a cube view service? I think would be through the Service Factory. Since the cube view service runs when the cube view is executed and there is no call as XFBRs or Dashboard extenders, Is there a way to pass parameter values into the cube view service business rule?Genesis - CV with comments - red flag on top right
I have created a cv with comments for comments input and review. The comments are saved and viewed with success but I am missing the red flag on the cell where there is comment in the cells. See below. According to feature video for cv with comment, there should be a red flag see below screenshot: What could be the reason it is missing?Drill-Down to Stage with Attribute Dimension
Hi everyone, I have two attribute dimensions in my model that I use to filter Cost Centers by Region and Line of Business. The issue is that when I try to drill down on those cells to reach the Stage data using “Load Results for Imported Cells”, I’m not able to get to the maximum level of detail. I assume this happens because the system is filtering by attribute members, which do not exist in the Stage tables. Has anyone experienced something similar or found a solution/workaround for this? Thanks in advance!Cube Views in Extensible Doc Arguments
Hi - Is there a consolidated list of available arguments that can be used when pulling a cube view in an extensible doc? This is the default value/example when inserting: "{XF}{Application}{CubeViewReport}{MyCubeView}" "Argument1" "Argument2" A populated example would be: "{XF}{Application}{CubeViewReport}{CubeViewName}" “IncludeReportMargins=False” “IncludeReportHeader=False” “IncludeReportFooter=False” “IncludePageHeader=True” “IncludePageFooter=True” Just trying to figure out if these are the only ones or if there are others since I'm having some trouble with getting it to display the way I wanted. Thanks!
Probably Passing Custom UD8 on Drilldown
I have a source cube view that has a column for actuals, budget, and then actuals versus budget. Actuals versus Budget is just a simple GetDataCell(CVC(Co1) - CVC(Col2)). However, there's a need from our business partners to be able to drill down into the variance for Entity.Base (source cube view is just Entity). My original attempt (Attempt #1) was to create a DynamicCalc UD8 to take S#Actuals - S#Budget but we have a handful of custom Accounts (A#) that aren't playing well with this approach. However, for the accounts that do work the drilldown is working perfectly. My next attempt (Attempt #2) was to create a non-DynamicCalc UD8 (TestUD8) and keep the GetDataCell column on the source cube view but tagged :U8#TestUD8. The problem I'm running into with this method is that the TestUD8 isn't getting passed to the linked cube view? And I don't know why? I have Attempt #1 and Attempt #2 side-by-side on the same cube view and Attempt #1 will pass the custom UD8 to the linked cube view but Attempt #2 just passes None. 95% of the source cube view can be successfully drilled down on but it's the Variance column that's giving me fits. Hoping someone can give me some guidance.
