Can't load dimension properties from csv file

Question

Hi all, I work with EPM 11.1.1
I'm trying to load DataStorage dimension property to existed Generic dimension (SKU) of my planning application.
When I create a profile I can't see this property in the Mapping options window using the following file:
!Section=Dimensions
'Name;DimensionClass;DimensionAlias;CustomDimensionID
SKU;Generic;;
!Members=SKU
'Name
Brand1
Brand2
!PropertyArray=SKU
'Property;Name;Value
DataStorage;Brand1;StoreData
DataStorage;Brand1;StoreData
When I use the following file:
!Section=Dimensions
'Name;DimensionClass;DimensionAlias;CustomDimensionID
SKU;Generic;;
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child
#root;Brand1
#root;Brand2
!Members=SKU
'Name;DataStorage
Brand1;StoreData
Brand2;StoreData
I get the following warning:
Import Dimension SKU member section maps to non-dimension global property DataStorage. Data for this column will not be processed.
What I do wrong?

Answer 1

Try:
!Section=Dimensions
'Name;DimensionClass;DimensionAlias;CustomDimensionID
SKU;Generic;;
!Members=SKU
'Name;DataType
Brand1;Unspecified
Brand2;Unspecified
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child;DataStorage
#root;Brand1;StoreData
#root;Brand2;StoreData
Tho I would add MemberValidForPlan#;Plan#Aggregation, where # is a number of your application which this member is valid for or even has a specific aggregation, as well
example:
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child;DataStorage;MemberValidForPlan1;MemberValidForPlan2;MemberValidForPlan3;Plan1Aggregation;Plan2Aggregation;Plan3Aggregation;UDA
#root;Brand1;StoreData;Y;Y;Y;+;+;+;
#root;Brand2;StoreData;Y;Y;Y;+;+;+;
Even more as an idea use pipes, maybe.
But you will need to say something about Aliases as well if this is a planning application.
