DataLoad 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.)

You will have to change it on the data source...Where are you importing from?Will you load these dates into an date attribute dimension?

    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.

    Your best bet work be to do the transformation first and then use it in the load ruleElse the other option is Use the Replace function 1/1/ - 01/01, 1/2/ - 01/02 all the way to 1/9/ and then all the way to 9/9- 09/09. You just have to consider dates from 1 to 9 with the combination of months 1 to 9 and just replace then with the two digit month. Then after that I would replace all the days /01/ to /31/ with just a / so you will have a MM/YYYY.If you have any questions email me back and I will try and explain it more. Hope this helps.

  • Export dataload rule file

    Is it possible to export a rule file in a text or other format to read the load rules without application manager ?ThanksFF

    This has been requested for years. Currently there is no way to do it.Glenn S.Narratus Inc.

  • Format of Rule-Files

    We want to modify the Rule-Files (Data Load and Dimension Build) automatically depending on our metadata.For this we need a documentation of the format of the rule-files.Can anyone help us?ThanksMichael

    I seriously doubt that you will be able to pull this off. What is it that you need to do that requires modifying a load rule? Can you achieve the same result by programatically writing and running calc scripts, or by scrubbing the data prior to loading into Essbase?

  • How to tune data loading time in BSO using 14 rules files ?

    Hello there,
    I'm using Hyperion-Essbase-Admin-Services v11.1.1.2 and the BSO Option.
    In a nightly process using MAXL i load new data into one Essbase-cube.
    In this nightly update process 14 account-members are updated by running 14 rules files one after another.
    These rules files connect 14 times by sql-connection to the same oracle database and the same table.
    I use this procedure because i cannot load 2 or more data fields using one rules file.
    It takes a long time to load up 14 accounts one after other.
    Now my Question: How can I minimise this data loading time ?
    This is what I found on Oracle Homepage:
    What's New
    Oracle Essbase V.11.1.1 Release Highlights
    Parallel SQL Data Loads- Supports up to 8 rules files via temporary load buffers.
    In an Older Thread John said:
    As it is version 11 why not use parallel sql loading, you can specify up to 8 load rules to load data in parallel.
    Example:
    import database AsoSamp.Sample data
    connect as TBC identified by 'password'
    using multiple rules_file 'rule1','rule2'
    to load_buffer_block starting with buffer_id 100
    on error write to "error.txt";
    But this is for ASO Option only.
    Can I use it in my MAXL also for BSO ?? Is there a sample ?
    What else is possible to tune up nightly update time ??
    Thanks in advance for every tip,
    Zeljko

    Thanks a lot for your support. I’m just a little confused.
    I will use an example to illustrate my problem a bit more clearly.
    This is the basic table, in my case a view, which is queried by all 14 rules files:
    column1 --- column2 --- column3 --- column4 --- ... ---column n
    dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- data1 --- data2 --- data3 --- ... --- data 14
    Region -- ID --- Product --- sales --- cogs ---- discounts --- ... --- amount
    West --- D1 --- Coffee --- 11001 --- 1,322 --- 10789 --- ... --- 548
    West --- D2 --- Tea10 --- 12011 --- 1,325 --- 10548 --- ... --- 589
    West --- S1 --- Tea10 --- 14115 --- 1,699 --- 10145 --- ... --- 852
    West --- C3 --- Tea10 --- 21053 --- 1,588 --- 10998 --- ... --- 981
    East ---- S2 --- Coffee --- 15563 --- 1,458 --- 10991 --- ... --- 876
    East ---- D1 --- Tea10 --- 15894 --- 1,664 --- 11615 --- ... --- 156
    East ---- D3 --- Coffee --- 19689 --- 1,989 --- 15615 --- ... --- 986
    East ---- C1 --- Coffee --- 18897 --- 1,988 --- 11898 --- ... --- 256
    East ---- C3 --- Tea10 --- 11699 --- 1,328 --- 12156 --- ... --- 9896
    Following 3 out of 14 (load-) rules files to load the data columns into the cube:
    Rules File1:
    dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- sales --- ignore --- ignore --- ... --- ignore
    Rules File2:
    dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- ignore --- cogs --- ignore --- ... --- ignore
    Rules File14:
    dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- ignore --- ignore --- ignore --- ... --- amount
    Is the upper table design what GlennS mentioned as a "Data" column concept which only allows a single numeric data value ?
    In this case I cant tag two or more columns as “Data fields”. I just can tag one column as “Data field”. Other data fields I have to tag as “ignore fields during data load”. Otherwise, when I validate the rules file, an Error occurs “only one field can contain the Data Field attribute”.
    Or may I skip this error massage and just try to tag all 14 fields as “Data fields” and “load data” ?
    Please advise.
    Am I right that the other way is to reconstruct the table/view (and the rules files) like follows to load all of the data in one pass:
    dim 0 --- dim 1 --- dim 2 --- dim 3 --- data
    Account --- Region -- ID --- Product --- data
    sales --- West --- D1 --- Coffee --- 11001
    sales --- West --- D2 --- Tea10 --- 12011
    sales --- West --- S1 --- Tea10 --- 14115
    sales --- West --- C3 --- Tea10 --- 21053
    sales --- East ---- S2 --- Coffee --- 15563
    sales --- East ---- D1 --- Tea10 --- 15894
    sales --- East ---- D3 --- Coffee --- 19689
    sales --- East ---- C1 --- Coffee --- 18897
    sales --- East ---- C3 --- Tea10 --- 11699
    cogs --- West --- D1 --- Coffee --- 1,322
    cogs --- West --- D2 --- Tea10 --- 1,325
    cogs --- West --- S1 --- Tea10 --- 1,699
    cogs --- West --- C3 --- Tea10 --- 1,588
    cogs --- East ---- S2 --- Coffee --- 1,458
    cogs --- East ---- D1 --- Tea10 --- 1,664
    cogs --- East ---- D3 --- Coffee --- 1,989
    cogs --- East ---- C1 --- Coffee --- 1,988
    cogs --- East ---- C3 --- Tea10 --- 1,328
    discounts --- West --- D1 --- Coffee --- 10789
    discounts --- West --- D2 --- Tea10 --- 10548
    discounts --- West --- S1 --- Tea10 --- 10145
    discounts --- West --- C3 --- Tea10 --- 10998
    discounts --- East ---- S2 --- Coffee --- 10991
    discounts --- East ---- D1 --- Tea10 --- 11615
    discounts --- East ---- D3 --- Coffee --- 15615
    discounts --- East ---- C1 --- Coffee --- 11898
    discounts --- East ---- C3 --- Tea10 --- 12156
    amount --- West --- D1 --- Coffee --- 548
    amount --- West --- D2 --- Tea10 --- 589
    amount --- West --- S1 --- Tea10 --- 852

    amount --- East ---- D3 --- Coffee --- 986
    amount --- East ---- C1 --- Coffee --- 256
    amount --- East ---- C3 --- Tea10 --- 9896
    And the third way is to adjust the essbase.cfg parameters DLTHREADSPREPARE and DLTHREADSWRITE (and DLSINGLETHREADPERSTAGE)
    I just want to be sure that I understand your suggestions.

  • Error while loading data to ASO database using rules files and buffer id

    Hello all,
    While loading the data to our ASO cube from a data file and using a server rules file, I am getting a warning: "Incorrect Syntax near ['$'] ". But my script no where mentions the usage of $. Also the console throws no error while loading the data. It displays the progress bar 0-100% while the data is being loaded, but actually no data is getting loaded (when retrieval is checked). Also the script is unable to form any log file or error file. Can anyone throw some light what might be the reason behind this kind of data load behaviour.
    Thanks in advance.
    Amit

    is that the real script? I don't see you using any parameter. (That's where $ comes to play). Try a double quote with echo (I never used echo in MaxL)
    Also don't post passwords and server names on a forum.

    " Incompatible rule file. Duplicate member name rule file is used against unique name database."
    I am just guessing here as I have never used the duplicate name functionality in Essbase, nor do I remember which versions it was in. However with that said I think your answer is in your error message.
    Just guessing again.... It appears that your rule file is set to allow duplicate member names while your database is not. With that information in hand (given to you in the error message) I would start to explore that.

  • How to specify  inclusion and exclusion rules for File data sources

    This is the seed URL for a file data source: file://localhost/c:/myDir/
    I want to exclude indexing and searching of files under: file://localhost/c:/myDir/obsolete/
    What is the exact format for the exclusion URL?
    I have tried both file://localhost/c:/myDir/obsolete/ and /myDir/obsolete/
    but neither of it seems to work; it still indexes everything under /myDir/
    Should I just put: /obsolete/ as the exclusion URL?
    Also after initial crawling, if I change the inclusion and or exclusion rules and then run the crawler again, it should update the indexes accordingly. Is that right?
    The version of UltraSearch I am using is 1.0.3.
    Thanks for any help on this.

    Try "/c:/myDir/obsolete/"
    Changing inclusion/exclusion rule does not affect files already crawled. It onyl
    affects next crawling behavior.
    To do any DML to existing data set, use SQL directly on wk$url table under the instance owner.

  • Not able to open data file in a rule file

    Hi,
    We have a rule file which has 140 columns. We are trying to add two new columns at the end (i.e. 141 & 142). We have added those columns in input text file and opened that text file in rule file. So automatically two columns are added at the end of rule file. Mapping is done properly. After that we saved that rule file.
    But next time when we opened that rule file and clicked "Open data file" option nothing is happening. We are not able to open data file in that rule file. But that rule file is working fine when we are running it.
    Can you please give any hint why it is not working?
    Thanks.

    Just a thought about your data file -- maybe 142 columns is too much? Yes, I know, if this is loading to a BSO database, and the columns represent a dense dimension, you are super duper efficient, but is the game worth the candle?
    What happens if you drop one of the members? Mark the column as Ignore During Data Load? Several columns? And then you need to add in new ones? KABOOM!
    FWIW, to keep the process as flexible and maintenance free as possible, I make every record one data value if I have any say in the matter. Yes, it is not efficient. But at least I don't get calls at o-dark-thirty telling me my process blew up and I need to fix it right away.
    NB -- I suppose these are two extremes and the right answer is somewhere in middle, but I will note that you likely won't have issues with reading and writing a data load rule with my approach.

    iitobs:<BR><BR>There are API calls (in at least C and VB that I found) that can use a rule file, and even copy or create one, but none that will modify a rule in any way. Even the "create rule" API call simply reserves the name so that someone else can't create one with that same name until you manage to copy it over from somewhere else - it doesn't create a new rule file, nor does it allow you to set anything in the rule. You have to use EAS to manage rule files internally.

  • Substituion Variables in Rules File as data source

    Hey all,
    This is a continuation of a previous post of mine. I have set some substitution variables to be all apps, all dbs, but when I got into the Rules File-File-Open SQL, it doesn't give me any substitution variables to select (greyed out), I have a few of which the SQL_SOURCE is one.
    Other DBs on the same server, same application are OK.
    Thanks in advance
    David

    Hi,
    I did a quick test relevant to your post.
    What I noticed is- In the drop down, I'm able to see only those Substitution variables(i.e. Data Sources) which are created as DSNs on the Server where EAS is installed.
    In other words, I've done the below:
    a) Created a DSN, SQL_Source_DSN+
    b) Created a substitution variable, sv_DSN whose value is- SQL_Source_DSN+ & assigned to all apps. & dbs.
    c) From the Data Prep Editor, when I say- Open SQL, I'm able to see & use- SQL_Source_DSN+
