How to delete Hyperion Planning member using ODI

Question

Hi All,
Anyone know how to delete Hyperion Planning member using ODI? And how to update account type on Hyperion Planning Using ODI?
e.g.:
I have a member with account type Saved Assumption, and I need to change to Revenue, but it cannot change. But if I change to Expense, it can. So what's wrong with the mapping?
This is my csv file for update a member on Hyperion Planning.
Parent,Account,Default Alias,Operation,Data Storage,Two Pass Calculation,Account Type,Time Balance,Skip Value,Data Type,Exchange Rate Type,Use 445,Variance Reporting,Source Plan Type,Aggregation,Member Formula
Account,Statistics,,Update,,,,,,,,,,,,
Account,Meal,,Update,Store,,Expense,,,,,,,,,
Account,Test1,,Update,Never Share,,Saved Assumption,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
Account,Test2,,Update,Never Share,,Revenue,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
Account,Test3,,Update,Never Share,,Saved Assumption,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sumardi

Hi,
To delete a member you use the Operation column, the following values can be used.
Update – This is the default and is used if not populated, it Add, updates, moves the member being loaded.
Delete Level 0 - Deletes the member being loaded if it has no children
Delete Idescendants –Deletes the member being loaded and all of its descendants.
Delete Descendants –Deletes the descendants of the member being loaded, but does not delete the member itself.
Does the member you trying to change to Revenue have a variance reporting set to "Expense" as it will need to be set to "Non Expense"
Also in your interface you can add logging options in the IKM, this maybe will give a clearer indication where your problem lies.
