Cannot display the text in Hyp Planning via ODI

Question

Hi,
has anyone follow the tutorial from John Goodwin here:
"http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/10/odi-getting-text-data-into-planning.html" ??
I'd tried the tutorial in order to able to display text in Planning.
However, I still cannot display the text in the end, only the numeric id values - taken from the HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE table.
Here the steps I've done:
- getting the list of id and text values to be inserted into HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE table
- make a new interface to load data into planning
- I want to load data from flat file to Planning, so I dragged flat file and also the HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE table into the source column, and then join the "MP3" column from flat file with values column from HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE table (like written in the tutorial ""http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/10/odi-getting-text-data-into-planning.html")
- after that, I dragged the Account dimension, and then join them. For the MP3 column in target column, I mapped it with "id" column from HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE table.
- Then I execute. The data loaded into Planning, but when I tried to open in report, the MP3 column shows the "id" instead of "values".
Am I missing something?
Has anyone experienced the same as mine?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I may have followed the blog :)
First have you loaded the values into the HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE table, have you checked the values are now in the table ?
Also, you will unfortunately have to restart the planning service after you have loaded them as the table is cached and a restart clears the cache.
When you load into planning you need to map the "Value" field in HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE to your data source, and load in the id to planning.
If you are only getting numerical values it is either because you have not restarted planning or the HSP_TEXT_CELL_VALUE has not been updated correctly.
