Automate Metadata loads into EPMA

Hi,
My company has 2 systems HCM and EPMA. We are tying to get the data in sync between these 2 systems. I am new to EPMA and was wondering if there is a way to automate the Metadata loads into EPMA? We recently installed ODI but not sure if this can be done VIA ODI. Any help is appreciated.

Any thoughts on this guys? I'd like to open the question up a bit.
How is DRM metadata used to source Hyperion applications? I see there is an XML output of metadata. There is some talk about generating an .ads file. What are the other ways? SQL database views?
I'm using a classic Planning application. Appreciate any thoughts.

  • Automate DRM metadata load into EPMA

    Hi,
    We are having metadata maintained in DRM, DRM provides an export in .ads file format, we load the .ads file into EPMA and create / updated dimensions.
    If any one can let us know if we can automate the process of loading the .ads output from DRM. If yes what are the options available for automating.
    Any help regarding the above issues is appreciated.

  • Metadata load into EPMA

    Hello All,
    I am trying t load metadata via Interface tables in my EPMA application. I loaded all the metadata correctly & my application got delpoyed with any error. Hoewever I am having some issue with loading member fromula in my version
    dimension. So here is what i did. I have populated the following tables:
    1. HS_Version Hierrachy where I define the parent child relationsip & other mandatory property for that member
    2. HS_Version_Member where in I defined the formula assocuiated with that member
    I then linked these table with my system tables IM_Dimension & run the profile.
    When i go to the dimension library in workspace I see that member but somehow it dosent bring the formula over from interface tables.
    I did added the formula manually in dimension library & deployed the application & everything woked pretty good.
    Is there something i am missing in the process of bringing this formula from interface tabe I am on EPMA 11.1.2.
    Has anyone ever loaded formula's via interface table & run into this situation?or may be is there a documnet anywhere which talks about the existing bugs while loading metadata through interface tables?
    Please advise
    Thanks!

  • Automate DRM Metadata load into HFM

    Is there a way to automate a DRM metadata load into HFM? In both instances, we are using the latest Fusion versions and I wanted to know if there is a way to automate loading the flat file produced by DRM into HFM. How would this be done? Does EPMA versus classic HFM setup play a role? If there is no automation, I imagine this would require an admin to manually export from DRM and manually import into HFM.
    Thanks in advance

  • How to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI

    Hi All,
    1.Can you tell anyone, how to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI. Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.
    2. What was the interface tables. How the interface tables will be useful while importing metadata into EPMA application (Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.). And tell me the interface tables structure and work process. give me the clear idea bout interface tables. I don't know anything about interface tables.
    3.Which method(either using ODI or Interface tables) is optimized/bestcase for importing metadata into EPMA application.
    My database is Oracle 10g and I am using Planning 9.3.1.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks And Regards,
    Bhagya Lakshmi.

    Hi,
    Answer to your questions
    1. You can't import metadata directly into EPMA using ODI, the only option is use the EPMA interface tables which is your question 2.
    2. Interface tables are just a structure of database tables which you populate with metadata and then this is pushed into EPMA, the structure of the tables takes a while to get an understanding of. The best place to start would be the documentation :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/bpma_admin.pdf
    3. As explained in question 1 you can't use ODI directly to import metadata into EPMA but with a lot of hard work and effort you could probably populate interface tables from EPMA, though I must admit I am not a fan of the interface tables because I don't think they were designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind.
    Cheers

  • Loading metadata into EPMA applications using Interface tables-Automation

    Hi,
    I am loading the metadata into epma applications using interface tables as ODI dont perit to load metadata into epma applications. Is there any way of using ODI and interface tables together to load the metadata
    This process also need to be automated.

    Hi,
    It is certainly possible and has be done, though there is not anything available that will do it for you, you will have to put in some effort learning the structure of the interface tables, then build interfaces and then a package in ODI to streamline the process.
    Cheers

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. No automatic scan menu when documents loaded into the auto feeder?

    I have a new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus to replace the L7780 which brought up the scan menu when a document was loaded into the autofeeder.  How do I get the ne 8600 to do the same thing.  I find that I liked the convenience of the auto menu but it does not come up when I load document(s) to be scanned into the auto feeder.  Was this feature left off?
    This question was solved.

    Hi afredb,
    I understand you have a new Officejet 8600 Plus and have some questions about the scan feature in comparison to the Officejet L7780. I will certainly do my best to answer these questions for you.
    In testing on our own Officejet 8600, I have found that you would be correct, this is a feature that wasn't transferred to the upgraded machines after they stopped making the L7780. There were a few printers in between the L7780 and the 8600, and they didn't have that feature either. I believe the reasoning behind it was that many people use these printers for copying and faxing as well so having the feeder automatically assume it's going to be scanning would have created extra steps for many others. Hopefully this is only a minor inconvenience and you can still enjoy the printer
    Hope this helps, have a great day!

  • How to load metadata directly into essbase 9.3 ?

    Hi all,
    When I load metadata directly into essbase with IKM SQL to Hyperion Essbase (METADATA).
    My metadata is already on Microsoft SQL 2000. After execute an interface that load metadata to essbase and check in the essbase outline , It seem that outline data could not retrieve correctly.And still have many rejected records.
    My question is :
    Can I use the same rule file that used for load a metadata from text file?
    Because in this case I use the same rule file that load metadata from text file.
    Let me know if need more information on this.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    You can use the same rules file, make sure in the IKM options you have the same rules seperator as in your rules file.
    You can also turn on error logging and logging in the IKM options so you should get more information to why the metaload is failing
    Cheers

  • Can user-defined styles load into new documents automatically?

    Greetings.
    I created a new style for a document. Is there any way to have that style automatically load into every new document I create by default? Or is the only option to import it every time I create a new document? I sure hope you can do the former!
    Thanks in advance,
    DPL

    Create a new document from the template which you want to use as starting point.
    Import the style from your other doc into the newly created one.
    Save the new doc as a template.
    Use this new template to create your doicuments.

  • Automated MetaData Load

    Greetings,
    I'm curious to know how some of the users in this forum perform automated metadata load against dimensions in the Shared Library (and subsequently against any EPMA Planning apps). We have several apps whose dimensions are shared amongst various Planning apps which are updated manually when the dataload fails because of missing members. These are updated manually on a monthly basis due to the relative mall number of missing members.
    However, we are building an app with a dimension that is quite dynamic (a lot of new members are added and a few are deleted). This woud be insane to perform manually to update the Shared Library. Thus I'm looking for any suggestions on how to automate this via batch file or via any other means, including using "Create Member Properties".
    Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly welcomed...
    Many thanks.
    cg

    CG,
    .err genrates only when
    no proper names for member
    no proper alise name .. while data loading...etc etc
    These things can also be achived via some programing langague ... like java .. but u need to know all the possible error and your programme should be able to find out where it has gone wrong so that it can rebuild if any new member or child is missing via data load
    unix > u can use SED functions to do that which will find and replace any possible outcomes
    itb happen to me some time back where i used Java to replace some mmebr which used to get rejected while data loading .. but it was like specific butin ur case u have to know all possible outcomes ...

  • ODI metadata integration with EPMA Shared library

    Hello all,
    we are in the implementation phase of Hyperion Planning and we have to update metadata using some ETL tool into EPMA.
    Is ODI integrates with Oracle and EPMA shared library or not.
    if not then we have some other tool to integrates the same.
    Kindly reply.
    Thanks,

    I believe John Goodwin wrote a series of blog-posts to show exactly this integration.

  • BIA Index Loading into Mmeory (for SAP) ....

    Hello all,
    I went to www.sdn.sap.com and chose <b>Business Intelligence</b> from the left menu.
    In the <b>BI Knowledge Center</b> (Right side), I chose <b>BI Accelerator</b>, which is under <b>Key Topics</b> section.
    Then I opened a document "<b>SAP Business Intelligence Accelerator (PDF 154 KB)</b>".
    Go to the section "<b>SAP BI Accelerator at Work</b>", which is at page# 5. The third point says like this -
    BI accelerator indexes are loaded into memory where the query is processed. In memory, joins and aggregations are done at run time. Loading of indexes into memory happens automatically at first query request, or it can be set for <b>preloading</b> whenever new data is loaded.
    I had an understanding that it will be loaded into memory only when query was first executed. But this says it can be set for preloading as well wherever new data loaded.
    My question is that where this setting can be done for preloading?
    It says that preloading option is available whenever new data loaded so does that mean that it can only be set for rollup of BIA Index and for initial load, it will still load data into memory when the query is first executed.
    I would appreciate if somebody has knowledge of this as it is new technology.
    Others, who has a knowledge can also answer.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you to everybody in advance.
    Sume

    Hi,
    I found it.
    It is an option on BIA Index Property button in the wizard. It appears only after the initial load is done. There is check box for to keep the BIA Index in main store. I thin it is only applicable to Roll-up.
    Thank you.

    Hello Everyone,
    We are migrating 9.3.1.3 EPMA DB schema (having planning/hfm applications) to 11.1.1.3 EPMA. Applied the required patch - "p9535372" to target server "11.1.1.3" so now target server is 11.1.1.3.02. After patch apply, we migrate the EPMA DB Schema and execute the upgrade through Configurater. Everything goes fine and able to login into shared services and workspace but system throws an error while loging into EPMA.
    Error Message -
    1) loading the module 'awb.appcontainer" failed
    2) Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
    Raised the SR - 3-4112905501 and BUG16- Bug 12808646 with oracle support/product team, meanwhile any suggestion/advice will be of Gr8 help

    Hi John,
    Thanks for you reply. Do you mean the process should be as follows (i add step 4 and remove step 7)? What about migrating business rules and calcmanager, how can i migrate this?
    Kind Regards
    1. Backup the relational tables of the application in 9.3.1
    2. Backup essbase objects (rul, otl ,csc, rep)
    3. Install EPMA 11.1.2.2 in a new server, including a new sql server instance.
    4. Shared Services provisioning use CSSImportExport utility to export from the 9.3.1 env and then transform to LCM format to import, or you can look at the HSSMigrate utility which is available with 11.1.2.2 (JohnGoodwin)
    5. Create a new application same name of database and connection and apply a “create” --->“Create a fresh planning application on version 11 make sure the admin is the same name as your old 9.3 planning app: “If the admin of your 9.3 planning application a native user and not the default hyperion system admin (account=admin) then; Go into the database tables for the planning app and look at table HSP_USERS, store the SID value against user 50001" JohnGoodwin:
    https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3897312
    6. Stop application, shutdown services.
    7. Restore all relational tables of the 9.3.1 application (step 1) in to the ne application (step 5.)
    8. Start services, apply a create in the application.
    9. Copy objects (step 2) except otl.
    10. Export data from 9.3.1 and import data to 11.1.2.2 application.
