Data protection in FDM

We're trying to set up data protection so that FDM doesn't overwrite manual input schedules but only replaces GL data. We've set up a C1 member called "Data_GL" to receive this data. The FDM manual reads as follows but offers no clues on how to set and use the settings and functionality. Any help on making this work will be gratefully received.
Best,
John
From the FDM manual, Configuring Integration Settings:
* Data Protection Switch—Enables FDM to protect data in the target system from being overwritten during data imports based on a specified protection value. Use this when data is entered into the target system through a method other than FDM. <Selected "Yes">
* Protection Value 1—Stores the value used with the Data Protection Switch. It is the value that is not to be overwritten. Selected "Data_GL" - C1 member for storing GL data>
* Protection Operator—Stores an operator (= or <>) to determine if items equal to the value stored in the Protection Value 1 are to be protected, or if items that do not equal the value stored in the Protection Value 1 are to be protected.
<Selected "not equal signs" ... that is, protect everything that is not "Data_GL">

I too have found the FDM manual does not provide detail on how to set up Data Protection functionality.
Any tips?

  • Data Protection Switch - FDM

    I am trying to find out how to enable/setup the Data Protection Switch in FDM.
    The FDM manual does not explain how to do it. It just mentions the feature.
    Can anyone tell me how to enable this? Trying to protect data in HFM from being erased upon FDM loads. Certain data is entered directly into HFM using Data Forms (this keeps getting "Replaced" when Upstream loads).
    Any tips would be greatly appeciated.

    Good day James,
    The first requirement is that you have configured FM to have a custom dimension member that is valid for all accounts or the accounts that you want to protect.
    You only have one member that you can secure or all the other members but this one member in any dimension.
    The data protection has three switches that you need to activate to protect the data. To my knowledge this only works with FM. Because FDM extracts the data and attaches the data to the bottom of the data load
    1st Turn on the data Protection (Enable data protection)
    2nd Supply a protection value this is the name dimension member that you want to protect in FM (Protection values)
    3rd Choose your operator, this switch can be set to greater or smaller than not the current protection value as specified above or equal to the protection value which will only protect the members in the named dimension member and all other members in the dimension will be cleared with the replace.
    The best way to implement data protection is to allocate one custom dimensions and load all the General ledger data into a members GL member and the supplementary data into another member/s.
    Regards

  • Enable data protection in the FDM application

    Hi All,
    I just added a custom member in HFM and I would like to enable data protection in the FDM application for the particular custom member. Can anyone tell me how to enable the data protection in the FDM application.
    Regards,
    Sanjeev

    Hi,
    There are options needed to be set for data protection in FDM.
    In Integration settings->Enable data protection, Protection value, Protection operator.
    Set these values and u can use data protection facility.
    You can also go through the forums for more understanding:
    1. Re: Data Protection Switch - FDM
    2. Data Protection
    Hope it helps!

  • FDM - Integration Settings - Data Protection Switch - Protection Value

    Hello HFM Group,
    I need some quick guidance. There are 3 HFM accounts that I want to protect against FDM Exports
    Three accounts I want to protect:Op_AirOp_VehOp_Tra
    The Protection Operation is set at " = "
    The Protection Value is set as: Op_Air; Op_Veh; OpTra
    My problem seems to be that the protection value only works when I list 1 account in the Protection Value box. I.E. It will protect the Op_Air account if it's the only account listed. But if I list the 3 accounts delimited by a semicolon as shown above it doesn't protect any of them. Surely there is a way to specify multiple values WITHOUT having to designate a common UD1 for these 3 accounts in HFM?
    Can't I list multiple values in the Protection Values box? If so what is the syntax to separate the values? Evidently, it's not semi-colon or comma....Any Ideas
    FYI - I know I could designate a common UD1 and place them on all 3 of these accounts but I am trying to avoid this direction.
    Thanks,
    James

    Hello,
    Currently right now the FDM Data Protection option is limited to a single value.
    The way the data is handled between the two software products is a current limiting factor.
    Thank you.

  • FDM Data Protection does not work

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to implement FDM data protection. Here's the situation: In C4, we have 3 members - LSS, LSSGA, MI. I want to replace only the contents in LSS and preserve the manually entered data in LSSGA and MI members. When I enable data protection with <> "LSS", it works for once. There is a situation here where the data in LSS also gets modified occassionally. Following this, FDM Replace cannot replace the data in member LSS. Has anyone faced this issue before ?
    Else, how to enable protection for more than one values ?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    George

    You already have an issue from the details you have specified. If you are saving non 'LSS' records, i assume by setting the protection vaue as not equal to 'LSS', then it is going save the 'MI' records, but not the 'LSS' records AND the 'LSSGA' records (It will not save the LSSGA records because it includes the string 'LSS' and that is all the function looks for - it uses the VB Instr function.
    To save multiple strings from a single location would involve bespoke changes to the adaptor Export script, or revising your metadatanames so that changing the protection value string could cover multiple dimension names as you have with LSS and LSSGA.

  • Data Protection Switch

    Hi again,
    I'm teaching myself FDM so please bear with (probably not the best practice but gotta go with it.)
    I'm trying to learn more about the Data Protection feature and I can't seem to find much information in the Admin Guide other than where the switch is and what it is useful for. Can anyone point me in the right direction for more information on how to use it?
    Can the Data Protection feature be used to protect multiple accounts? What about specific account and custom intersections?
    An example would be awesome, but I understand if that's asking for too much.
    I'm using v11.1.1.3 with adapter 11x-G5-C
    Thanks for your time.

    Great presentation; I'm learning we are seriously underutilizing FDM.
    I didn't realize this feature would require metadata changes to HFM. I'm not sure about building these required changes into any of the custom dimensions since we already use them for multiple purposes.
    Please confirm my understanding of what happens. FDM extracts all records for that POV and searches the entire string for the Protection Value and if it finds it anywhere in the string then it appends it or deletes it (depending on the operator.) Is my understanding correct? Any dimension member can be used? Also, does it only extract for entities that are being loaded to?
    Hmmmm....wondering why this feature which seems so great in theory lacks the functionality to be used in practical environments...but I'm not a technical expert, what do I know.
    Any other tips are greatly appreciated.

  • Windows 7 Pro x64 does not detect HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor (accelerometer)

    Hello there.
    I installed win7pro x64 yesterday and already came across a serious problem that makes my way of using the notebook a bit dangerous for my precious data.
    When I was working on HP-branded Vista 32bit (from recovery partition etc), there was a device called HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor together with HP ProtectSmart (or Protect Smart) software. In other words, the HDD accelerometer that parks HDD's heads when it "feels" it's falling or something, and software for it. It worked brilliantly.
    Until I decided to install Win7... Then, surprisingly after a driver-install failure and taking a look at the Device Manager I noticed that there's no such device! I checked it three times, looked at every device's property, even reinstalled Vista 32bit back - it showed again - and installed Win7 - not detected again. There's nothing that has Device ID's HPQ004! I remember people saying that after fresh Windows install, there were 6 unknown devices or more. I had only 5. [Fingerprint device, 3x MemCard reader and IR receiver]. There was no accelerometer... Also, when I try to install the drivers/software, the windows pops up:
    ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection: with text Property.AccelerometerNotPresent
    and then another one saying something like Features were not installed because of installation error or unsupported feature.
    So now I'm stuck with a notebook that is unsafe to travel with, because the disk is no longer protected
    I already installed all the drivers available from HP page, even downloaded newest ones from Intel (chipset) etc.
    Is there a solution to this? Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Windows 7 is officially out and available as RTM version, not beta, so I think HP should open support for it and release new drivers for win7! And most importantly, fix this issue ...
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Well, thanks to myself, I fixed it. After some thinking I remembered that ACPI = BIOS-related. It appears that there is a problem with the newest (F16) BIOS.
    F.16 changelog is below:
      Version: F.16 A  (26 May 2009)       Fixes  
    Updates the Intel MRC Code to version 2.7.
    Updates the Intel AHCI OP ROM to version iSrc 1.20_E.0012 11252008.
    Updates the BIOS to support Microsoft Windows Vista Operating Systems with Service Pack 2 (SP2).
     I went back to version F.14 and... boom! New (unknown) device found And guess what, it's ACPI/HPQ0004... So now my HDD is protected again ^^ yay!
    I don't know which of these changes cause that, but it looks that that can be fixed.
    I'll go back to F.16 again to see if the device will disappear and then contact HP support on that case.
    EDIT: Well, F.16 breaks things again, so it's definetely a BIOS problem. Thanks for... umm... well... at least spread the word, guys I hope this helps if someone has the same problem.

  • How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

    I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5.  Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software.  I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap.  I removed Bonjour and quicktime.  I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program.  After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5.  However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down.  I tried making a new user profile.  Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer.  The program again elicited a DPE error.  I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed.  Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue.  Please help.

    I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
    a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
    d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
    I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

    DPM 2012 R2: Remove Recovery Points

  • Data Protection Manager 2012 - Inconsistent when backing up Deduplicated File Server

    Protected Server
    Server 2012 File Server with Deduplication running on Data drive
    DPM Server
    Server 2012
    Data Protection Manager 2012 Service Pack 1
    We just recently upgraded our DPM server from DPM 2010 to DPM 2012 primarily because it is supposed to support Data Deduplication. Our primary File server that holds our home directories etc. is limited on space and was quickly running low so just after
    we got DPM 2012 in place we optimized the drive on the file server which compressed the data about 50%. Unfortunately shortly after enabling deduplication the protected shares on the deduplicated volume are getting a Replica is Inconsistent error.
    I continually get Replica is Inconsistent for the Server that has deduplication running on it. All of the other protected servers are being protected as they should be. I have run a consistency check multiple times probably about 10 times and it keeps going
    back to Replica is inconsistent. The replica volume shows that it is using 3.5 TB and the Actual protect volume is 4TB in size and has about 2.5 TB of data on it with Deduplication enabled.
    This is the details of the error
    Affected area:   G:\
    Occurred since: 1/12/2015 4:55:14 PM
    Description:        The replica of Volume G:\ on E****.net is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with
    consistency check. You can recover data from existing recovery points, but new recovery points cannot be created until the replica is consistent.
    For SharePoint farm, recovery points will continue getting created with the databases that are consistent. To backup inconsistent databases, run a consistency check on the farm. (ID 3106)
    More information
    Recommended action: 
    Synchronize with consistency check.
    Run a synchronization job with consistency check...
    Resolution:        
    To dismiss the alert, click below
    Inactivate
    Steps taken to resolve - I’ve spent some time doing some searches and haven’t found any solutions to what I am seeing. I have the data deduplication role installed on the DPM server which has been the solution for many people seeing similar issues. I have
    also removed that role and the added it back. I have also removed the protected server and added it back to the protection group. It synchronizes and says consistent then after a few hours it goes back to inconsistent. When I go to recovery it shows that I
    have recovery points and it appears that I can restore but because the data is inconstant I don’t feel I can trust the data in the recovery points. Both the protected server and the DPM servers’ updates are managed via a WSUS server on our network.
    You may suggest I just un-optimize the drive on the protected server however after I have optimized the drive it takes a large amount more of space to un-optimize it (Anyone know why that is) anyways the drive isn’t large enough to support un-optimization.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advanced.

    Ok I ran a consistency check and it completed successfully with the following message. However after a few minutes of it showing OK it now shows Replica is Inconsistent again.

  • What is Continuous Data Protection (CDP) & how does it work?

    When it comes to Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR), it's important to know how it functions and which service best fits your clients' needs. Is Continuous Data Protection more cost effective than legacy backup products? How does CDP actually work? What is CDP? Well, who better to answer these questions than backup maven, Randy Bowie, VP of Backup Product and Engineering at R1Soft! 
    Watch our latest MSPtv interview!
    Are you using a BDR solution with CDP? How has it helped you, and would you recommend it? 
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    When aligning to stage if something is selected and you click an align button while align to stage is on then the selected item will align to where you said (far left or right, far top or bottom, center etc.)
    When NOT using align to stage you can select TWO items and align them relative to eachother.

  • Continuous Data Protection for Arch Linux

    Does anyone know of any Linux software that offers Continuous Data Protection (CDP)?
    Obviously free software is ideal, but I'm not ruling out commercial stuff.
    Infact so far the only thing I've found is a commercial product, called NetVault: Replicator, but it has an unknown pricetag.
    (I've e-mailed them to ask, but since it's Saturday I'll probably be waiting at least 48 hours for a reply.)
    Feature-wise, it's pretty simple: It want true CDP (ie: on every write, not simply regular snapshots), and I'd prefer something with a browser-accessible management area (but if it has a good API I can build my own if I have to).
    Thanks for any help.

    Hmmm, well NetVault:Replicator doesn't actually offer proper CDP, and isn't going to in the immediate future.
    So I'm still stuck without a solution and I can't think where to look next.
    Anyone got any suggestions?

  • Data Protection Manager 2012 R2 agent: SetDpmServer returns error 0x80004005

    I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 server running business-critical applications. This is an ancient server, and I don't know who and how installed and configured its OS. I need to protect it using DPM 2012 R2.
    I was unable to automatically deploy DPM agent to this server due to error, so I installed the agent manually. However, when I try to manually associate the agent with a DPM server, it returns the following error:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin>SetDpmServer.exe -dpmservername SERVER
    Configuring dpm server settings and firewall settings for dpm server =[SERVER]
    Configuring dpm server settings and firewall settings for dpm server =[DOMAIN\SERVER]
    SetDpmServer failed with errorcode =0x80004005, error says: To further troubleshoot failures with SetDpmServer, go to
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=169142
    The link is invalid. I've found a Techne article mentioning this error code, which tells only to check access to the DPM server from the server with the agent. The agent does have access, but the error persists even if I turn off the firewall completely.
    I even reset the local firewall rules to default settings, but it has had no visual effect (except I had to restore several rules manually).
    I suspect that something is wrong with OS settings or services. Any ideas what can be investigated next?
    Evgeniy Lotosh<br/> MCSE: Server infractructire, MCSE: Messaging

    Hi
    If you add the following predefined default firewall rules, the setdpmserver.exe should run:
    Windows Management Instrumentation
    Remote Service Management
    File and Printer Sharing
