Create Outline by a bimension build rule file

How we can create a new outline by a rule file. I am able to create the rule file but don't know how to use to create the outline. Please help.

Check out this link:

After making a rule file:
Right Click on the database
Select Load Data
Check Buid only in the mode
Then locate datafile and rulefile.
Or click on the outline..
then in Menu select Outline menu, then update outline.
Cheers..!!!

  • Get problem when create dimension using dimension build rule file

    I got the following warning when I tried to load dimension. I have a product dimension hierarchy which contains 6 levels. I manually create a dimension call product which include six generations. I also create a rule file using SQL. This SQL selects 6 columns and I map each column to each generation. When I load data to build dimension, I always got the following warning and only some part of data get loaded. Anybody know that? Do I have to load parent first before loading child or I can load them at same time?
    Thanks
    \\Record #1 - Incorrect Parent [10] For Member [10] (3307)
    1     2     3     10     10     171     
    \\Record #2 - Incorrect Parent [1] For Member [1] (3307)
    1     1     1     8     8     39

    You are getting duplicate names. YOu need to prefix or suffix (or sql concatinate) to make the members unique. in the record 1 example you might want the outpout to look like
    Product line 1 Group 2 subgroup 3 Product family 10 product 10 sku 171
    Of course I used full names to make it undersatandable, some would use one, two or three letter abrevaitions.

  • Err:Two-pass & Expence reporting properties from dimension build rules file

    Hi All,
    i'm trying to build account dimension from rules file along with properties.
    My source file for dimension building is like below:
    Parent,Member Name,Alias,Consolidation,Storage,Time Balance,TB Skip,Variance Reporting,Two Pass,Formula,UDA1:Account
    Account,Acc1,,+,Dynamic Calc,None,None,Non-Expense,Two-Pass Calc,,Revenue
    Acc1,Acc2,,+,Dynamic Calc,None,None,Non-Expense,Not Two-Pass,,Revenue
    Acc1,Acc3,,+,Dynamic Calc,None,None,Non-Expense,Not Two-Pass,,Revenue
    after building dimension 'non two-pass' values are showing as 'two-pass' and 'non-expense' are showing as 'Expense'.
    if any one knows please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Building RULES file to load shared members in Aggregate storgage outline

    Hi there
    I posted this yesterday (sorry, somewhat different subject description). I am trying to create an alternate hierarchy containing shared members using a load rule and flat file in an Aggregate Storage outline. One response was to remove the "allow moves" option and use parent child build in the load rule. I tried that and it did not work. i was pointed to a section in the essbase guide (which is about as clear as mud), and still cannot get this to work. First of all - can you do this with an ASO outline? If so, how? I tried a simple 6 line flat file and recreated the load rule based on the above recommendations and it will not the shared members. Can someone out there help?
    thanks

    Here is an example in the simplest form.
    Create Aso db (duplicate members names not selected)
    Create Product dimension member, set to "Multiple Hieararchies Enabled", (though probably would work if dynamic)
    Create load rule, set as parent/child dimension build for product, make sure allow moves is not ticked.
    Data file
    Parent,Child
    100,100-20
    200,200-20
    Diet,100-20
    Assign field properties in rule for Parent.Child
    Load data, 100-20 will be created as shared.
    Cheers

  • Dimension build rule file (Sort member)

    I am loading sorted data for one of the dimension. But its is not coming in sorted fashion in outline. New member which i am adding is always coming in The end.Even though that member is in sorted format in the file.
    I am using generation method . I am putting member for only generation 2 and its alias.I tried using ascending option but it is giving me error
    Can any body help me with this

    As Glenn said, the build only builds new members. In order to have FULL control over the order of a resultant dimension's order, you need to blank out the dimension first and then build via the load rule. As Glenn mentioned, you can do "incremental dimension building". You can do this directly in EAS in an interactive manner by using outline/update outline in pull downs. Just do not save the outline until all your changes are done. You can also accomplish incremental builds via Esscmd or via MaxL, but I'll assume for right now you are still testing. The advantages of the incremental changes is that you can do a number of changes before Essbase commits to doing a restructure, which is time consuming, not to mention confusing if you are "deleting" (however temporary) the entire dimension's hierarchy.
    Regarding setting ascending order
    1) in the load rule's Dimension Build Settings prompt
    2) Select Dimension Build Settings tab
    3) highlight the dimension you are changing
    4) select Ascending for sort order
    This should work...I've never had it error out. However, I will say that it sorts the entire dimension...not just the siblings of a new member. Your upper level members will move as well. Because of this, the ascending sort in a load rule is undesirable. Give it a try. If you don't like the results, just don't save the outline.

  • Remove quotes from the data when building rule file

    I get double quotes in one of the field in the file. e.g. Part descirpiton as inches. I have to join part number and part descrption to create one field and create level 0 dimension. When I try to replace " with space after joining the two fields, it does not replace the quotes. If I replace it first and then join the fields, it gives me error "The field type for this field is not valid for the build method associated with this field's dimension."
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks
    Please help.

    A double quote is one of the problem children of Essbase. If this is coming in from SQL, you could do a replace on the character to remove it. If it is a flat file, if it is always in the same location, you could split the field on the character and ignore it. It has been a long time since I've had to deal with the problem, but I think I ran my file through some preprocessing to remove it.

  • Reg: Building Essbase dimension using SQL in rule file

    Hi,
    We are using Essbase 11.1.2.2. I am trying to build a dimension in a cube using SQL query in the rule file, but i am not able to do it.
    I am not able to establish connection to database. Can anyone please give a step by step process to do this.

    If you really, really, really want to do this --- and by that I mean really get rid of everything in a dimension, create a dummy file with a single child.  That single child should have a name that could never exist in your system.  Something like "Forty-seven ginger headed sailors".  Then set the Dimension Build Settings Member Update to "Remove Unspecified".  Run the dim build -- it will clear out all of the dimension.
    Then take your other dim build rule file and use the same Remove Unspecified setting.  That will get rid of the silly member.  The source can be a file or SQL.
    Ta da, you have now cleared out the dim, added a single silly member, cleared out the dim again, and loaded the right members into it.
    There may be a better way to do the above, but I have done exactly that and it works.

  • Rule File Problem

    Hi all,I have one confusion i.e. Can we use a single rule for Multiple Dimensions buildings.For Example Like we have a TRK Dimension in my outline we are using abc.rul file and abc.txt file for building this Dimension.And can we use the same rule file for another dimension Building . If the structure of this dimension is not same as it is for TRK. and may be the data file is same or different.thanks in Advance..............

    The short answer to your question is Yes, you can have one rule build multiple dimensions. for example. I sometimes build multiple dimensions from my data laod file. An example is a file with the fillowing columns (which could modify Sample Basic)Year, Month, day,product group, product code, product alias, division,state,account, amtFrom that you could build the year dimension the product dimension (not the alternate roll-up) and the Market dimensions

  • Substitution variable using in rules file

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to load the data only for the current month. But, my source file is having data for all the months till current month.
    ex: I have to load data for MAY. But, source file is having data from JAN to MAY
    Its a monthly process and it should load the data only for the current month using substitution variable.
    Means next month I will be having JAN to JUN data. But, I should load only JUN data.
    Could any one help in building rules file for this requirement.
    Thanks
    Sri

    Is the data coming from SQL or a flat file?  And is JAN through MAY represented in multiple columns or multiple rows?
    As Evgeniy says if it's a SQL source, you can use a subvar in the SQL statement.  If it's a flat file (and your periods appear as multiple rows) you can use a subvar in a SELECT/REJECT criteria.
    Honestly though, if a feeding system is producing a flat file for you, I would try and arrange to have the flat file contain only the data that is actually required.  Parsing a file that is up to 12 times larger than necessary is inefficient.

  • Building BSO using ASO Rules file

    Hi All,
    We are building a new application where in we want to have both ASO and BSO. Eventually we wanted to do partition between these two cubes.
    We already have a fully functional ASO with data loaded into it. This ASO also has bunch of rules files using which the ASO cube was built.
    We need to build a new BSO and it should have same outline as ASO and in order to achieve this as used the same rules file that are in ASO. I already built the BSO usinng ASO rules files
    My issue is with the dimension which are deifned as Multiplw Heirarchy and I would appreciate if some one can help me how do i define them in BSO. Also if some one canhelp me understand what are additional changes that needs to be taken care when I am building BSO using ASO rules files
    I am trying to apply a caluclation which is in ASO and I am getting following error -- Error(1200337) - Error compiling formula for [Feb YTD] (line 1): [)] without [(]. As part of my research i found that error code is very generic. I checked the caluclation for missing ) or ( but everything looks good
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Satish

    Your ASO formulas will not work in BSO cube. ASO uses MDX formulas and BSO uses Essbase calc script language. There is a guide in the technical reference that helps convert from one to the other.
    As far as multiple hierarchies, BSO does not have this concept. You should be able to load the hierarchies as is with perhaps a few changes to the load rule to address how to handle shared members.
    You will not have a direct one to one from BSO to ASO. They are a different architecture and as such have variances that are not 1 to 1 compatible.

  • Building shared members using rules file

    How to build Shared members in the outline using load rule file.
    I tried but it is not working correctly.

    Hi,
    If you are loading the build file in parent child format...you don't need to mention the member as shared or stored.
    Essbase automatically makes the second one shared.
    If you are using generations or levels format to build the dimension then I suggest you to refer the docs to understand it clearly.

  • Unable to build dimension thru rule file using export from DRM

    Hi All,
    I exported a dimension from DRM in parent-child format and trying to load it thru rule-file into essbase. Everytime i load the data..it is throwing error. Iam confused whether the error is due to DRM file or Essbase itself?
    Actually i wanted to show the client the syncup between DRM and Essbase, this is kind of POC. I created an ESSbase application and using outline extractor, extracted the individual dimensions and then converted it into DRM import and loaded there successful. After creation of Properties there and added few members under the hierarchy in DRM.Again exported the dimensions and wanted to load into the same Essbase Application which should reflect the member additions did in DRM. But this DRM to essbase thing is not happening.
    Pls anybody help me in this.

    Hi,
    Is there anything in the error log file that is generated when you load it in Essbase??
    You got to find the reason in the error file and then we can help you out on this.

  • A problem happened when building dimensions with Rule File

    Hi All,
    I was trying to build dimensions with the rule file. But it showed the error 1030100, which means "cannot open file".
    I can load data with a data source (.txt). Thus, I assumed that it's a problem to open a rule file.
    I don't think it's the problem about the rule files I wrote since I cannot even build dimensions with rule files in the Sample/Basic database.
    Anyone knows how to solve the problem? Thanks for the help.

    This path is referred to error message .... it will show the errors in that file...
    and one more thing...
    while adding data source to rule file it will ask you provide a path for the error message...there you can see this path...
    Just check dataload.err file after running the rule file...
    have you associated the out line to the rule file ???
    is that rule file validate fine?
    if not associate it and try...

    hi John,
    Here i'm building the dimension through generation build method.
    setting the properties as
    Field, Dimension, Field Type, Field Number
    Field1,Product,Generation,2
    Field2,Product,property,2
    Field3,Product,Generation,3
    Field4,Product,Generation,4
    After mapping it shows dimensions are correctly mapped.
    When i load the source file and the rule file, it shows error partially loaded data,.And it doesn't shows the shared member property. That is what asked How to modify the source file for building shared members using Rules file.
