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.

Error while opening SQL source for a Data Load Rules File

Hi ,I have created Data Laod rules file.When I try to open a SQL source for this rules file (File->Open SQL) , I get an error saying "Your server does not have a SQL connection Option, Please check with your system administrator"Further I get a message "There are no data sources defined. PLease create one to continue.".I have created DSN on my Essbase server.What is the problem.What needs to done to open SQL files.Thanks.

I have Essbase 7.1 I guess for version 7.1 the SQL interface option is intalled with the Analytic server itself .Am I right?I have setup the DSN also.Please help to resolve this issue.Thanks .

Essbase Load Rules File Header Issue

Hi,
Is it possible to specify more than one member for the same dimension in the Load Rules file Header?
Example: I need to load the same data in all the remaining months in current year.
I tried using a substitution variable in the header which is defined as Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec.
It loaded randomly. For each account, only one month is loaded.
It loads only as many data points as in the data file regardless of the number of members from the same dimension specified in the Header definition.
Any suggestions to correct this.
Using a Calc script to do a data copy cannot be used because of other process limitations.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Ethan.

Randomly? That's really interesting. But yeah, I wouldn't expect that to work.
I have a hard time thinking of a really good option that will handle an variable number of periods and is driven by a single subvar.
Run the load multiple times, cycling through the subvar settings? Or (faster, if Period is dense) create one load rule for each period, with the data column copied multiple times using field manipulation and the future Periods assigned to each column (rather than using a 'Data' field) and run only the rule you need? That option doesn't use a subvar at all, but still requires conditional logic in the process.
Alternatively, do the transformation in your source extract / parse the file. This is really the 'best' option but I appreciate there are sometimes constraints on changing upstream processes.

Substitution Variables in Essbase Load Rules File

Hi,
Has anyone tried using substitution variables in Load Rules File Header definition?
I need to load data based on the Year & I have different Files for 3 Years- CurYr, BudYr1 & BudYr2. Is it allowed to specify the Year Substitution variable in the Rule File Header? I am getting an error while loading.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Ethan.

Tim,
Thanks for the response.
I figured it out. The error message I was getting was because of some parsing issue. I have defined Year as "FY12" in quotes. I removed quotes & it worked.
Thank You.
Ethan.

Sql and load rule file query

Currently loading the data with the script , which it contatins
Retreving data from oracle through SQL interface on to rules files
and loading the data.
just my question is , if i get 0 records from oracle , i dont want to proceed with the loading of data (which is no useful ).
Can i stop the loading if records are zero.

As far as I know there is nothing in MaxLIt that could tell that there were no rows.The MaxL statement would return a zero code saying that the process worked ok. It would be prossible in your batch script to have mutiple calls to MaxL and between them to do something like make a call to your sql DB getting the count of rows for your query. Investigate the result and if it is zero, then get out of your load and calc process (I guess you could do that even before you try to load).
Or how about scheduling a job that creates an output file with the count if it is greater than zero. If it is, then run the batch load process if it is not, then bypass it. There are multiple ways to do this outside of Essbase, just not in it.

How to enter TEXT data using rules files

Hi,
How can i enter text data using rules files?
Thanks,
A

If you are talking about planning members with a text data type then it is not possible to load the actual text string using a load rule,essbase just stores a numeric value and the text string relating to that numeric value is stored in the planning applications relational tables.
If you want to load text directly then you can load data through the planning layer, more information available at - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch05s02s01.html

Hi Priya,
Thanks for giving reply. I already checked that no lock are available for rule file. I don't know what's the problem. It is working fine without the Rule file, but throwing error only when using rule file.
Please help on this.

Data Load Rule file -Date conversion

Hi,While working on a Dataload rule file,I was facing this problem.I'm getting date in the format "m(m)/d(d)/yyyy hh:mm:ss". Is there a way to change this to "mm/yy" ??(There won't be anyproblem if I get mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss style. but unfortunately not.)

Can you run the file through a "conversion process" prior to loading?We do similiar thing here. We get a feed from Hyperion Enterprise and run it through a home grown conversion utility written in Windows Script before we load into Essbase.It reads in the file line by line and then writes out a new file properly formatted.

Loading data through rule files in Essbase

Hi everyone,
I really need help because something that I don't understand is happening when I am loading data through a rule files that I have created in Essbase. In the "Field Properties" of that rules files, I added few accounts in the "Global Properties" that I wanted to be replaced by others when I perform the load since I had troubles with the hierarchy of my accounts. My problem is that I have 3 accounts that I cannot add when I am loading my data and I don't understand why. By example, in my data extract file, I want to add the account : 601820SN60005 but since it doesn't exist in my Dimension Library I changed my rule file. I add the following propertie : Replace 601820SN60005 with 601820, so the system should put the data in that account instead. But it's not what'S happening. When I perform my load, the log tells me that the member 601820SN60005 does not exist in the database which is true but it seems that the propertie I had is not working. The load should work property. Is it possible that my rules files is corrupted? Or anything else?
Please give me a clue of what's happening here because I really don't understand!
Thanks a lot!

I will just pipe in with the mostly worthless comment that doing any kind of ETL within a load rule is really not the world's best idea. Could you do your transformations in the source? There is this fantastic language called "SQL" that allows all kinds of cool data manipulations. Oracle even sells this product called ODI that I hear is just dandy for ETL work. :)
A slightly more useful suggestion -- it's really tough to view all of the various transformations in a load rule, as you have found to your sorrow. Did you know you can print the load rule and get all of the transformations? I use it all the time when a client hasn't listened to my whine about not doing ETL in a load rule.

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.

Variable in the Load Rule file

Hi,
We're running EAS 9.3.1 and trying to update a load rule to include a substitution variable in the header. The load rule works fine when the member name is defined explicitly and the variable works fine in the calc scripts. Any ideas? I tried removing the quotes and the & symbol already. See error below.
Reading Rule SQL Information For Database [Plan1]
Reading Rules From Rule Object For Database [Plan1]
Unknown member [&CalcVersion] found while processing string ["Budget","&CalcVersion","Load","Functional"]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
Thanks.

Did you remove the quotes by using the replace in "field Properties" and Global properties tab? I am trying to replace double quotes with null in the data file and it does not seems to be working.
Thanks

Essbase load rule file

I am trying to use load rule to append some data to Essbase cube. How do you define the rule on Essbase side, as a data file or SQL data source? I am trying to avoid the second option as the SQL Interface was not configured on Essbase Unix box. Is it possible?

Thanks John for explaining this one!

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

Can i load transaction data thro flat files without loading masters?

Hi all,
is it possible to load history data using flat files in sales cube without having loaded any masters?
thanks

Hi
You can load the transaction data without loading the master data. You have to check the option in update rules (update also if no master data exists).
In reporting you will not be able to see the attribute and text data. Its always adivceable to load master data first and run apply hierarchy/attribute change and load the transaction data.
AHP: Nice to see you after a long time

SQL Load rules file

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to create SQL based load rule for BSO application.I'm not sure what i'm missing but in data field it shows " 0" or "-0" in EAS while retriving a data from Oracle.When I execute same query on oracle data was there.
The data field which i'm not getting correctly is "SUM(aa."AMOUNT").Any suggestions ?
Thanks in avd
