Hello experts,
When hitting the Save Data button in my EPM, I got the error listed in the Subject(and below) and wanted to learn what it means. Below is a description of what I am doing that brings up this error and maybe you have some thoughts to get around it.
Exception of type 'FPMXLClient.Common.FPMXLClientException' was thrown.
I have an Input template that has two Dimension Members that are based on Context, Time and Entity. These are shown to the User with the =EPMContextMember function, where the user can change the Context. It all works fine. Our next goal is to be able to save the template local, and keep the context when saved vs the context most recently used while logged in. An example would be say I select Entity 1. Hit Refresh and pull the data. Hit the Save As button and save it to my desktop and email it to a colleague that does not have EPM installed. When they open it, they see Entity 1 and make some changes to the file. Email it back to me. During this time I was working with Entity 3, which is saved in my Context for Entity dimension. When I re-open the file he sends me and want to submit the data, I want it to submit to Entity 1, not 3. If I try to change the context manually it it will refresh and loose any changes my user has made.
So this now gets us to the error. What I have done to try and make this work is on a workbook Save action, I copy the context members to a hidden location. On the Workbook Open, if those hidden cells are populated, I move the hidden members back to that original context location. When I hit save Data, this is when the error pops. I know this is a lot of information and may be confusing but I really would just like to understand what the error means and if there are any common ways to do what I am trying to do.
Thanks,
Sean
