Hi,
how many columns has your file?
that error means you are trying to access an invalid position.

FDM Import Format Spec with multiple Amount Fields

Hello,
I'm in the process of setting up an Import specification for one of our sites and the source extract consists of the following fields:
Source Account Description BegBalDR BegBalCr YTDDR YTDCR
01-511-5110     Inventory Adjustment     1,754.00     0     0     14,844.76
I'm am trying to Import Field 5 & 6 and net them if necessary (example: YTDDR - YTDCR) and I continue to get an error. I have tried several diffrent ways but it seems that I can only import one or the other. After reading the FDM Admin guide I am wondering if I need to create a custom Script to accomplish this task.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tony

This might be slightly complicated, but I think its the most direct solution ........
Step 1 -
In your Import Format, assign the Amount as :
FieldName, Start, Length, Expression
Amount, 1, 1, Script=NetAmounts5and6.uss
Step 2 -
Create an Import (DataPump) script called NetAmounts5and6 with the following code :
Function NetAmount5and6(strField, strRecord)
'Hyperion FDM DataPump Import Script:
'Created By:     cbeyer
'Date Created:     2/13/2009 5:57:14 PM
'Purpose:
'Get the last two fields
Dim tmpRecord
Dim strCurrentChar
Dim strYTDCR
Dim strYTDDR
Dim x
'Initialize fields
tmpRecord = strRecord
'Ensure we have data
If Trim(tmpRecord) = "" Then Exit Function
strYTDCR = ""
strYTDDR = ""
'Get YTD CR
'One could use the replace command to change all spaces to a delimittable field and then
'split out the string into a one dimensional array using the split command; however,
'This would only work best if there is an exact number of spaces between the two numbers
'Since I do not know if this is true, instead i'm looking for numeric/numeric like characters
'and splitting based off of that.
For x = Len(tmpRecord) To 1 Step -1
strCurrentChar = Mid(tmpRecord,x,1)
If (IsNumeric(strCurrentChar) Or strCurrentChar = "$" Or strCurrentChar = "." Or strCurrentChar = "," ) Then
strYTDCR = strCurrentChar & strYTDCR
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
'Trim down temporary record holder to remove the previous found amount and white space at the end of the string
tmpRecord = RTrim(Left(tmpRecord,x)) 'Remove the first number from the string and white space
'Get YTD DR
For x = Len(tmpRecord) To 1 Step -1
strCurrentChar = Mid(tmpRecord,x,1)
If (IsNumeric(strCurrentChar) Or strCurrentChar = "$" Or strCurrentChar = "." Or strCurrentChar = "," ) Then
strYTDDR = strCurrentChar & strYTDDR
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
'do the math
If IsNumeric(strYTDCR) And IsNumeric(strYTDDR) Then

Else
NetAmount5and6 = 0 'This will cause the record to fail on import

FDM integration script for multiple locations

Hi,
I have a slight problem with FDM integration script (SQL integration).
From what I've understood and tested within one FDM-application (tablespace) I'm not able to have multiple integration scripts. This because the integration script needs to be named SQLIntegration.uss, otherwise there will be an error.
I have multiple locations within one FDM-application where I would like to use an integration script. Due to the above mentioned naming "bug", I need to include all my locations' integration information in one script. As imagined this is not a solution that easy to maintain or easy to read.
- Is there a workaround for the name-bug?
- Can I call a function within the main function? I tried without any success, but maybe you would have a solution.
Any input would be beneficial

user10757003 wrote:
Not sure what you mean when you say you rename the file and you get the error.
Is this a new integration script you have created and cut / pasted the existing integration script contents? If so, did you remember to change the SQLINTEGRATION = TRUE statement at the end of the script to the new integration script name? this might be the reason why you get the 'Import Successful' popup and the Import error dropdown.What I mean is that scripts are name xxx.uss abc.uss. This should be fairly clear.
Now I have the SQLIntegration.uss, if I change the name of the script to SQLIntegration1.uss or any name. The script will not work. And I receive one error and one success message as stated above.
Note: I'm not changing the content or anything else inside the script.

I am assuming you originally tried to run the script in workbench. for these type of scripts this is not possible as you get the error you highlighted.
If it ran successfully (albeit without pulling any data,) then it might just be the SQL string that is incorrect.
What i would try is:
1. Add some error handling after the connection to the DB and display the error if it occurs
2. display the SQL string you are using to make the Selection on, to ensure the format is ok.

Multiple FDM Import Formats for One Location

I want to import trial balance data directly from the Oracle Financials database. I'm creating an import integration script to pull the ledgers directly via a SQL statement. My issue is that I also want to be able to write scripts to modify each individual field on the import, similar to a delimited import script where I can have a script for each dimension. Do you know if it's possible to combine import integration and delimited scripts in a single location? I'm guessing it may be a combination of the Import Format and Integration Options settings on the location, but I'm not sure which one should go where. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is not possible. Any adjustments to the data would need to be done within the integration script.

FDM import script with selectable source file

Hi All,
I would like to build an import script attached to an import format that imports a text file with multiple value columns.
Source file:
Entity, Detail, Account 1, Account 2
E_abc, D_abc, 100, 200
In FDM this needs to be:
Entity, Detail, Account, Amount
E_abc, D_abc, Account 1, 100
E_abc, D_abc, Account 2, 200
So i need to loop through the file.
My biggest challenge is that when i attach a script to an import format in the import process i cannot select a file from inbox anymore, it has to be a pre-defined file.
Has someone an example or solution how to make a script-import format and enable the select file from inbox?
And if possible has someone an example script of the issue stated above?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi Wayne..
Thanks for your reply (and sorry for the delay in mine).
Could you tell me what script to use to open the file in the befImport script, or how to rename the file in memory to a new one?
So i write a script that rewrites the file to a new file in the inbox but i need to tell FDM that it needs to process this new file.
Thanks,
Marc

This code is really messy and not well structured, so it's no surprise you have an issue. Try the following:
1) Never have an Else clause in your If statements where you don't actually have an Else condition i.e. line 33, 40 etc
2) Use a Case statement to replace your outermost If. It will make your code easier to read and probably get rid of your error which will be caused by poorly sequenced/structured If statements.

Whe i execute this script i just receive an error message saying: "Error: Import Failed", nothing appears in the Error log, neither in the work table.
Can anyone help me? Does anybody know what can i do to add these records in the work table?
Thanks in advance.

How are you getting the table name for variable strWorkTableName1?
I'd suggest taking another look at the admin guide. There is an example import integration script in that document.

Script for combining multiple documents?

hi there,
well I think there's been a lot of discussion going towards this topic. My concerns aren't quite lining up with the topics. We using a script for placing images, and instead of going document to document...I would like to combine all the indd documents...there's usually at least 24...and to import NOT as pdf's, just as individual pages within the one document...insert my images using the other script...and then later choosing to re-export the pages as individuals. With ascending order of page numbers in the correct sequence they were brought in as.
thanks for the help.

-Printing by folder only helps when I need to run one copy of the files, typically I need to print multiple copies or save them for future printing. Also I have had errors printing via that method before because it will sometimes overload the printer queue.
-It would be great if clients always provided print ready documents, but that is usually not the case and I have to correct it which is why I am here asking how to do this.
And if you can not do that then you need to insert a blank page into the files with an odd number of pages.
Right. That is what I am looking for; something to automate inserting a blank page into files that have an odd number of pages WITHOUT knowing the documents page counts before hand and WITHOUT having to manually insert blank pages.

Free script for replacing multiple footage files

Hello!
I made a simple script for easily changing multiple footage paths. I'm a 3D artist and found it a burden to replace all the vray render passes every time I rendered a new version. I'm sure it has other uses as well, like checking and setting which of your footage files are local and which ones are on a fileserver.
You can also copy and move footage from one file to another with this tool.
I'm not a professional scripter and would like some comments and crits. What would be the best place to publish something like this? For 3ds max there's scriptspot.com, is there something similiar for adobe scripts?
Use at your own risk. Download here.

looks useful for managing multipasses. Have a look at aescripts.com for publishing your script.

You need two import scripts, one where you get the value of the other amounts you wish load to FDM for output and a 2nd to manually insert/append that 2nd amount into the current FDM worktable during the import process. The FDM admin guide covers the scripting concepts required to achieve this and although not exactly what you are looking for it should give you a good starting point for developing a solution to achieve what you want.

Importing multiple amount columns from a single text file

I'm sure this question has been addressed many times. I have tried to search for an answer here and other areas, but I have not been able to find a clear answer yet. I am relatively new to HFM and FDM and thus do not have a lot of experience to fall back on. I am primarily a Planning/Essbase person. That being said, here is my question:
I have a data source (text file) containing two amount columns that I need to load to HFM via FDM. One amount column consists of Average Exchange Rates and the other amount column consists of Ending Exchange Rates. I have been asked to develop a process to load both columns of data to HFM using a single process (one Import Format). I've been told this is possible by writing an Import DataPump script. It seems that I would need to create a temporary record set based on the original source file and modify it so that it contained a duplicate set of records where the first set would be used for the Average Rate and the second set would be used for the Ending Rate. This would be a piece of cake using SQL against a relational source, but that's obviously not the case here. I do have some experience with writing FDM scripts but from an IF... Then... Else... standpoint based on metadata values.
If there is anyone out there that has time to help me with this, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

This is relatively easy to achieve with a single import script associated with the Account source field (assuming AverageRate and EndRate are accounts in your application) in your import format.
Essentially your first amount say AverageRate would be set as the default field for Amount and these values would be loaded as if it were a single value file. For the second value, EndRate you would have to insert the second value directly into the FDM work table which is the temporary table populated when data is imported from a file during the import process. The example code snippet below suld gve you guidance on how this is done
'Get name of temp import work table
strWorkTableName = RES.PstrWorkTable
'Create temp table trial balance recordset
Set rsAppend = DW.DataAccess.farsTable(strWorkTableName)
If IsNumeric(EndRateFieldValue Ref Goes Here) Then
          If EndRateFieldValue Ref Goes Here <> 0 Then
               ' Create a new record, and supply it with its field values
               rsAppend.AddNew
               rsAppend.Fields("DataView") = "YTD"
               rsAppend.Fields("PartitionKey") = RES.PlngLocKey
               rsAppend.Fields("CatKey") = RES.PlngCatKey
               rsAppend.Fields("PeriodKey") = RES.PdtePerKey
               rsAppend.Fields("CalcAcctType") = 9
               rsAppend.Fields("Account") = "EndRate"
               rsAppend.Fields("Amount") = EndRateFieldValue Ref
               rsAppend.Fields("Entity")=DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 1, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD1") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 2, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD2") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 3, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD3") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 16, ",")
               'Append the record to the collection
               rsAppend.Update
          End If
End If
'Close recordset
rsAppend.close
In addition the return value of this Import Script should be "AverageRate" i.e. name of ht eaccount associated with the first value field. The NZP expression also needs to be put on the Amount field in the import format to ensure that the EndRate Field value is always processed even if the value of AverageRate is zero.

Multiple Amount Columns

I'm setting up an import format for a text file (to load data into Essbase) that has more than one column with an amount in it. e.g. column 1 is expense dollar amount, and column 5 is hours. the expense gets loaded to the account shown in column 2, and the hours in column 5 get loaded to an account called "Hours".
I have another flat file, with about 12 amount columns, each loading to a different stat account. Same situation.
(before you tell me that I should use a load rule and load to essbase, I know, but we're not doing it that way...)
So my question is, how do I set up the import format to load more than one data column, where I know specifically what the account for the second columns is? I don't mind having to do some scripting, but I might need and example to follow.
thanks.

Awesome SH, Thanks.
I did actually try the datapump approach and your thoughts agree with what I was thinking.
The doc is a bit thin on the following, would you validate or correct me here?:
I create a new datapump script "MyDataPump",
The RES object (containing properties such as location key(PlngLocKey) and category key(PlngCatkey)) is valid in the context of the MyDataPump function
The DW object from which I will access the table [DW.DataAccess.farsTable(strWorkTableName)] is valid in the contet oof the MyDataPump Function
That all being ok, the one thing I still cannot figure out is where I get the name of the table where I'm loading the data (strWorkTableName)? Its passed as an arg in the Integration scripts, but not in the Datapump Script.
Aslo, since I'm updating the table with the data for this extra amount field myself, what value do I return from MyDataPump, and how is it used by the import process that calls the script (IOW since I inserted the record myself, I don't really want FDM to do anything with this field after the script is run.

Script for moving multiple subtitle clips in the works - EXAMPLES NEEDED!

Hi everyone!
One severe deficiency of DVD Studio Pro is the inability to move multiple subtitle clips back or forward in a track by an arbitrary offset.
I ran into this problem while I was creating a DVD from an EyeTV recording of a DVB broadcast, the subtitles from which have to be extracted to a SON file and a bunch of .bmp images with a separate piece of software, ProjectX. For some reason, ProjectX messed up the subtitle timecodes, so I had to move the entire track forward by a fixed amount. Unable to do this inside DSP, and unable to find tools that would do this for SON files, I set out to code my own tool with Python.
Currently, I have a very simplistic working version of the script, which I successfully used to shift the timecodes of the aforementioned SON file.
This got me thinking: I can't be the only one who has faced this problem. So, in the spirit of giving something back to the community, I thought I'd try my hand at turning this little script into a versatile tool for timescaling several different subtitle formats.
If possible, I would like to receive real-life examples of several different plaintext (no binary formats, thanks) subtitle formats from you guys, both those that DSP supports and those that it doesn't.
For now the tool only shifts entire tracks and works on the command line, but who knows, maybe I'll create a GUI at some point and add the ability to shift specific subtitle clips instead of whole tracks - time permitting, of course.
If you think you might have some juicy subtitles laying around, please reply or contact me directly by e-mail: elamaton (at) nic.fi. Don't worry, I won't redistribute anything you send me, it will only be used as test data.

Sounds like a very good idea... but have you seen Subtitler:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26322
Not to say you won't make a better version, and I'd be delighted if you did! Manipulating subs in DVDSP is not something I do any more - I use an external text editor for any job where more than a few subs are needed.
The problem in DVDSP is that you cannot extract the subs directly, you have to export an track item description which has the subs and time code buried within the XML. You might find that PHP will give you a web based tool to extract the subs and time codes and write a text file, which you can then manipulate.
In fact, wouldn't a web based tool be a good idea? People could upload the track description, it would export the subs and you could get it to adjust the timecodes and write a text file back in the correct format to import back in to DVDSP. Once the subs are in a text file it is a simple matter to manipulate them further...

Script for emailing multiple file types?

Is there a script that will allow me to place a button on a form, that when clicked, will email the completed form in PDF format as well as in csv, or xml format?
Thanks!

Wow, thanks. That was extremely helpful, but I have a couple questions.
First, is there a way to make it print to CUPS without opening the default application for the particular file first? For example, I used a .docx file, and it had to open microsoft word to send the job the print. This makers it very unpredictable to decide how much time the automator application will need to pause. If that file were for example, and adobe illustrator file, it would take an incredible amount of time just for illustrator to open. I don't really anticipate needing to do this a whole lot with anything other than text files and standard image types, but is that the only way for those other files to print? I figured that since OS 10.6 can do a quick look preview on just about any file type I use, that the OS would be able to do this without the application actually opening, but it seems not to be the case. Just wondering.
The other issue is the only real problem, and it's one that I have had whenever I use automator to make PDFs. It always duplicates the job. So, I am getting a combined pdf, but it has the same file in there 2 or even 3 times.
In automator, I used:
get selected finder items
then
print finder items
I have verified that it is printing everything multiple times because I see them going into the CUPS folder twice. Then, the final PDF sometimes even has the same doc or image in it 3 times. I have always had this problem with automator and PDFs, any idea how to solve that?
Other than that duplication issue, this seems like it will work perfectly! Thanks for the reply here!
