Data load rule

I am able to open a database outline, this database has got just one data load rule, on opening this, I get to see a blank upper window with lower table having some columns matching with some of the dimensions in outline.What can I make out from this data load rule regarding the location from the data is coming into the dimension members?? In otherwords how can I know where is data source for the dimension members and rules applied to it before data is loaded to dimension members.

Continued from above:This means your data source file can be located anywhere. You specify the location of the data source file and the load rule when you load the data.The location of the data source file is not hard-coded into the load rule.Best Regards,

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!

Data Load Rules file - Conditional load

Hi,
I need to create a data load rules file to load sales data. The data comes at product, entity, month, year, version, scenario, account level. I need to load data only towards two of the entities, NCC and NCCCBU, i.e if the product is coming under a particular hierarchy called UK then it needs to get loaded against NCC entity member and if the product is under the CBU hierarchy it needs to be loaded against the NCCCBU entity.
All of the data comes in the same file so I need to load it in one go without splitting the file into two.
Thanks
Vikash

You can achieve this.
In the data load rule when you are mapping the entity column.
set the propperties like this:
Field properties -> Global Prpoperties
Replace with
UK NCC
CBU NCCCBU
Field properties -> Data Load Prpoperties
Map the column with entity dimension.

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

Do we need to re-create data load rules if we upgrade from EBS 11 to 12?

If so, please explain the reason. Thanks.

If you upgrade from EBS 11 to EBS 12 you would need to create a new source system registration in ERPi.
Once the new source system is created, you would then need to initalize the source system in ERPi.
From there you would need to associate it with an import format and locations in ERPI and your data load rules are then based on the location.

Choosing Dimension Members / Creating Data Load Rule Files

Hi
Let me explain this problem using an example. Let's say I have a dimension table called "Product" and its has ProductId, ProductCode & ProductName fields, and a Fact table with ProductId and Value columns. As you can see ProductId has beed used to link to Fact table. I want to display ProductCode as dimension members (ProductName as Alias). I have no problem creating this scenario using EIS. But when I am not sure whether I could do this with EAS. I tried but I cannot get it working. Does anybody know to do this in EAS please? Also, how to create the data load rule for this problem using ProductId?
Regards
Chandra

You can do this using a SQL load rule.
One rule to build your dimension, simply select statement on the one Dimension table.
Second rule to load data is going to require a Select statement with a join to pull the product name from the dimension table and the data from the fact table linked on the Product id.

ERP integrator Tasks - Data Load Rule

Opening data load rule

In otherwords how can I know where is data source for the dimension members and rules applied to it before data is loaded to dimension members.

There's no way to know what file was used to build the load rule, or what files have been loaded using the load rule. You have to maintain your own documentation, or some kind of naming convention that makes it clear.

SQL data Load rule with Substitution variable

Hi,
I have a data load rule with MySQL as a data source. I have requirement where user does not want to see Current day data in cube and they keep changing days not to be loaded.
I have setup the substitution variable SUBv as '2009-11-04' and have scripts to update it daily.
Data Load rule in where condition contains
brand = 'HP' and region = 'east' and date <> &SUBv
Now, above where condition does not work for date <> &SUBv but if I set substitution variable SUBv as "brand = 'HP' and region = 'east' and date <> '2009-11-04' " and set load rule where condition with just &SUBv it would just work fine. I dont know whats wrong in 1st place.
I dont want to create multiple where condition in substitution variable (Don't we have limit on them?). I have 40+ load rules which might use this SUBv substitution variable if I find a way to define it so that it work as "brand = 'HP' and region = 'east' and date <> &SUBv"
Thanks,
Vikram

I did some research and came to know when using substitution variable in Load rule need to keep substitution variable first in string..
It worked out magically.

Data Load rule Sign flip

In this version of Essbase 11.1.2.2.100.2176
the Data Load rule
Data Load Settings
DataLoad Values
Sign flip
On UDA
SignFlip
Dimension Accounts
Doesn’t work.
I've properly set up a UDA called SignFlip in the Accounts Dimension.
I moved a data load rule from a working application in a prior version and it doesn't work in the new version.
I've also started a new dataload rule from scratch.

Used corrected Load rule.

Substitution Variable in Data Load Rule

Hello,
Is it possible to filter selected record or rejected record from a flat file using a substitution variable ?
I use the v11.1.1.3.
Thanks
Rgds,
Pierre

A quich test on sample basic says no. I exported the data in column format and cleared the data. Then I created a load rule with selection criteria of a substitution variable and itdid not load any rows. I then changed the sub variable to an actual month and it loaded fine

Method of creating data load rules

Hi, I'm new to essbase and learning by creating a sample aplication from scratch. I'm looking for ways to create an outline dynamically from an Oracle table using the rules file and avoiding the Application Manager, which I find onerous.Is there a way to create or edit a rules file using a text editor and either esscmd or MaxL syntax?

Unfortunately no - App Man (or EAS) is the only way to create load rules. Once you create the rules though there should be no need to change them, as long as the format of the data does not change (ie more/less columns, column ordering, etc)Regards,Jade---------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

ASO Balnak Field Fill with Data Load Rule

In block storage database I could fill a blank field with a text value by creating field with text and then replacing whole word match with preferred text. I am unable to get this to work in ASO database. Field Properties tab has the option but does not work when I try to use it. Has anyone else encountered this situation?

Referencing a substitution variable in data load rule header definition

Hi All,
Im trying to add a substitution variable to the header definition of a DLR.
the sub var is &CurrMonth.
When I execute the data load I get an "unknown member error" with a list of all members in the header definition, including Oct which is my current month.
It looks like the DLR is resolving the sub var but for some reason it is refusing to load data.
We are on 9.2.0.1.
Are sub vars referenced differently for DLR?
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Hi Seb!
Hope you're well. You're doing everything right with the subvars so the issue must be elsewhere. Is the list comma separated? Sorry I can' help more :(
