About load rules

Hi,
we r loading the for PLV app using loadrules (act.rul) with admin rights.It is planning application.
how to give the access to the user.
For rule file & calc scripts in read only mode .i mean he need to load the data & execution of script.no any edit access.
plz help on this

If you want a user to load data, then you need to give them write permission to the database. You can use filters to limit the areas of the database they can update. Your other alternative would be to create an automated load process via a script with an admin password in the script. You could then set up your environment in a way that lets the user run the batch files.

Add formula field in data load rule

Hello,
I am trying to import data in Essbase from a txt file. The txt file contains data from an app with 12 dimensions and I want to load it into an app with 13 dimensions (View dimension for YTD is the extra dimension). Is that possible? I was thinking about adding an extra field in the data load rule which I would import as the sum of all other data fields. How would I do that?
Thank you,
Adina

Hi,
Thank you both for your answers. But what confuses me is this: I created a rules file using a file with 12 columns. I selected the appropriate member for each column in Field Properties, and added the View member in the data load header. Then I get the error message: "This field is also defined in the header definition" for all fields. However, if I don't set the members in Field Properties and just set them in the data load header, I get another error message: "There is an unknown member (or no member) in the field name."
Can you please help?
Thank you!

Relationship between ERPi metadata rules and Data load rules

I am using version 11.1.1.3 to load EBS data to ERPi and then to FDM. I have created a Metadata rule where I have assigned a ledger from the Source Accounting Entities. I have also created a Data Load rule that references the same ledger as the metadata rule. I have about 50 ledgers that I have to integrate so I have added the source adapters that reference the Data Load rule.
My question is... What is the relation between the Meatdata rule and the Data load rule with the ledger? If you can specify only one Ledger per metadata rule, then how does FDM know to use another metadata rule with another ledger attached to it? Thanks!!!

1 How freequently this activation problem occurs. If it is one time replicate the datasource and activate thetransfer structure( But in general as you know activation of transfer structure should be done automatically after transport of the object)
2 One thing for difference of time is environmental as you know in production system so many jobs will run at the same time so obiously system performance will be slow compare to Dev System. In your case both the systems are performing equally. You said in dev system for 50000 records half an hour and in production 200000 records 2hrs so records are more in Production system and it took longer time. If it is really causing problem then you have to do some performance activities.
Hope this helps

Alternate hierarchy dimension build with load rules

Hi,
I am trying to build a alternate hierarchy dimension using load rules (I feel using EIS is easier to build ASO and multiple hierarchies but we r trying to get rid of EIS member loads). Looking at different posts my understanding is it has to be done using two different rules file first to build the stored hierarchies then use parent-child reference to build the shared hierarchy. Below is the link for the picture how I am trying to build the dimension. I've tried different possibilities but no luck, I am having a tough time to come up with a way to do this using rules file.
http://s24.postimg.org/u5hl4eyqt/basis.jpg

If your file is in a parent/child order, then you can build easily in one rule. make sure the primary (stored Hierarchy) gets built first followed by the alternate hierarchies. I suggest adding a SortID column to the source so you can sort the file to get it into the right order. You can also build the alternate hierarchies using level or generation builds in one load rule, but especially if you have a lot of alternate hierarchies or members, then the parent/child method is easiest.
Read in the DBAG about parent/child files and it will give you more info

Problem with load rule/server performance

Version 11.1.2.1
Hi just a couple of questions:
1) Load rule: I cannot retain the field property definition after I get my data from SQL. When I go define, save and re-open the load rule, the field property is still there. When I get the data from SQL it takes the column header from SQL. I've tried the header/record to skip the 1st record but it doesn't work. I have the same exact load rule in 9.3.1 and it retains the field properties. What am I doing wrong?
2) I am curious as to why my Essbase server is really slow in general. I am running Microsoft Server 2008 R2 with 4 CPU * 2.3 GHz + 16 GB RAM. I know the processor is below requirement but it is dog slow. Just curious about some of you are using in terms of processors.
Thanks

Typically when you build a load rule using SQL interface when you first retrieve data, it uses the SQL column names as the load rule field headers. After the retrieve, you shuold be able to go into the field properties and change the names to the Dimension names. I've not see where once you set the filed names in field peoperties, it overrides them with SQL column names. If you are gettting thie, I suggest you open an SR with Oracle. The workaround as someone suggested is in your SQL to use the actual Essbase names as the column names
Like in the case of Sample.Basic
Select
SKU as Products
,State as MArket
,'Actual' as scenario

Load rule failure in ASO cube building

Hi
I have an ASO cube and I'm trying to use a load rule to build my entire Measures dimension. Everything seemed to be working fine before, I had about 7,000 measures tagged with a particular UDA, however, now when I do the build, only about 2,200 of the members are getting tagged with the UDA, although there is no error file. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why some members are successfully getting the UDA assigned to them and some aren't. I even tried creating a new load rule and using a text file with the particular accounts, and again, it says everything was fine, but when I go back and look at the outline it's hit and miss. Any thoughts?

Hi,
I dont see any reason ,why it add UDA's for few and does not for few.
I request you to do the following
1. Check the data file
2. Check the rule file
3. and as per the definitions of the rule file ( i.e build properties, data source options ..etc.
see ,whether the data file is in harmony.

Load Rule validates, yet no data values modified

The load rule worked on a server running an NT operating system with essbase version 6.1.3. I rebuilt the application on a server running W2k with an essbase version 6.1.6. The load rule validates on the new server. The load looks as if it is loading correctly. When I check out the log file, it shows a warning number 1003035 with a message stating "No data values modified by load of this data file." Any ideas??? Creating a new load rule from scratch did not work. My next plan of attack is to check out the actual txt file to see if anything looks odd.

Have you got any record select or record reject statements in your rules?

How to open a .csv file in a load rule

Hi All,
I am trying to open a .csv file in a load rule to find it is working correctly. But, I am not given an option to look at the .csv files when I click on "Open Data File" option from the File menu.
Please suggest.
TIA,
Vamsikrishna.

I have tried that as well.
But, It is not giving me that option, "All files".
It is just showing
Text files (*.txt),
Excel Document (*.xls),
Week1 Document (*.Wk1),
Week2 Document (*.Wk2),
Week3 Document (*.Wk3) and
Week4 Document (*.Wk4).
Please suggest.
TIA,

How to use a substitution variable in a load rule?

I need to use a substitution variable in a load rule in a column, as I will receive a parameter to fix the Month and Year values within the data loading, could somebody tell me if this is possible. I put an expresion "&Yearproc" in the column value but it is not working.

If you're a member of ODTUG (or even if not, you can sign up for an associate membership for free) you can download Glenn's presentation from 2009 Kaliedoscope "Little Used Features of Essbase (Like Data Mining and Triggers)" -- there is a section in that presentation on substitution variables -- he does a really good job in showing how this works.
Go to: www.odtug.com, then Tech Resources, then Essbase/Hyperion, and search for Schwartzberg. Currently it's the ninth presentation on the list -- I think this changes based on popularity of downloads.

FDMEE: EBS segments not appearing in the FDMEE Load Rule window

I have configured FDMEE to load GL data from specific E-Business 12 segments. This has been working fine.
Recently, additional segments were defined in EBS. Unfortunately, these new segments do not appear in the Load Rule box (whereas the original segments do appear).
Is there an option/trigger somewhere in FDMEE (or EBS) to force the new segments to appear in the FDMEE Load Rule selection segment box? (I have re-initialised the source system, with no effect.)
Ian

Hi,
You need to make sure that you are adding them to the Import Format defined between the Source and Target system. Have you done this yet?
Are there target dimensions in the app to point to?

Substitution variable in sql load rules file

Okay gurus,
I need a little guidance, I have to replace the value of 201020 and 2008 from substitution variables. I have created the variables and set them up globally on the essbase server.
201020 = FW00
2008 = FY00
WHERE ACT.FISCAL_WEEK_ID <= 201020
AND ACT.FISCAL_YEAR_ID > 2008
AND RTDIV.DIV IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,99) (This is the query with hard coded values of week and year)
When i m trying to put sub variables there , its throwing the error. please find below the way i was trying to do it.
WHERE ACT.FISCAL_WEEK_ID = '&FW00'
AND ACT.FISCAL_YEAR_ID = '&FY00'
But unfortunately, its throwing error Error: 1021001 Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
I know that this is the generic error because if i put the hard coded value in sql load rules it works fine.
Is it the right way to out sub var in sql load rules???
Please advice and thanks in advance.

Hi Genn,
I tried to see the app log for sql but i m afraid that there is nothing in there, the only error message which I am getting in app log is this:
Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
Its an ASO cube and initially i was using the variable as FY00 AS "2008" it did not work and than i tried without quotes in variable but is still not working.
Any idea..thanks in advance.

Variable in the Load Rule file

Hi,
We're running EAS 9.3.1 and trying to update a load rule to include a substitution variable in the header. The load rule works fine when the member name is defined explicitly and the variable works fine in the calc scripts. Any ideas? I tried removing the quotes and the & symbol already. See error below.
Reading Rule SQL Information For Database [Plan1]
Reading Rules From Rule Object For Database [Plan1]
Unknown member [&CalcVersion] found while processing string ["Budget","&CalcVersion","Load","Functional"]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
Thanks.

Did you remove the quotes by using the replace in "field Properties" and Global properties tab? I am trying to replace double quotes with null in the data file and it does not seems to be working.
Thanks

Mapping in Load rules.

Hi All,
I have a situation where I have to maintain a mapping for the product codes in my Load rule.
And this is no small list of products that I have to manually updated the mapping to my load rule.. It is huge as hell.
Now, is there any way that I can bulk upload my mappings into the load rule in Essbase?
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
TIA,
KRIS.

Not that I didn't like the answers. But, all these were our suggestions to my clients way before I posted my question in this forum.
I couldn't implement the easy methods to achieve this just because the client requirements were different.
I am sorry if I have been rude anywhere by not considering the solutions provided.
We have also tried to implement a program which edits the input file based on a mapping file we use. It was all fine for most of the products but there were hiccups at some.
That pushed us to make this exhaustive labor work to implement the mappings in the load rule. (again just because the client did not want any mapping in the outline or new outline).
I appreciate all your help and sorry once again if my responses were rude.
Thanks All,
KRIS.

Substitution variable in Load rule Header Essbase 11.1.1.3

Think its obvious you can use substitution variable as a Header definition on Load rules, does version 11.1.1.3 has any issues' with it, i am running into Unexpected Essbase error 1019026.
Error:
Unknown member [Mgmt Actual,Base,No Vertical,No Customer] found while processing string [Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
I want to copy Actual data into other scenario's in ASO cube so thought will use substitution variables to eliminate duplication on load rules.
Mgmt Actual is a scenario set thru Substitution variable at the DB level
i.e *&CurScen="Mgmt Actual" (set at DB level)*
Header Definition on load rule *&CurScen,"Base","No Vertical","No Customer"*
Data load work fine If i replace substitution variable with original member *"Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer"*.
I did notice some users complaining erratic behavior when substitution variables are placed in load rule header at the End on multiple members, i have tried all places End, First and Middle.
tried using single Load rule with EAS and MAXl same results.
i want to keep altering scenarios on header definition and use same rule files.
alter database AppName.DbName set variable CurScen '"Mgmt Actual"';
Running out of ideas any help!

Error:
Unknown member [Mgmt Actual,Base,No Vertical,No Customer] found while processing string [Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
*1019026 Unknown member memberName found while processing string string*
Possible Problems
Analytic Services does not recognize the listed string as a member of the outline.
Possible Solutions
Make sure that the member name is valid. The member name is in the rules file.
* Are you using the correct rules file?
* Is the rules file connected to the correct outline?
* Can you validate the rules file?
* Are member names or variable names enclosed in quotation marks where necessary?
* Does the member exist in the outline? If not, you can add the member by modifying the outline during the dimension build or add the member in the Outline Editor.
* Make sure that the member is not specified as a header in the rules file.

Substitution Variables in Essbase Load Rules File

Hi,
Has anyone tried using substitution variables in Load Rules File Header definition?
I need to load data based on the Year & I have different Files for 3 Years- CurYr, BudYr1 & BudYr2. Is it allowed to specify the Year Substitution variable in the Rule File Header? I am getting an error while loading.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Ethan.

Tim,
Thanks for the response.
I figured it out. The error message I was getting was because of some parsing issue. I have defined Year as "FY12" in quotes. I removed quotes & it worked.
Thank You.
Ethan.
