EPMA Ads File generation using excel

Hi,
We had a classic planning application at our client and now we have decided to move on to EPMA. I have used EPMA file generator to extract ads file from Planning application & uploaded it to the shared library successfully. Now I want to add a UDA to the accounts dimension members. HOwever I want to export this file in to spreadsheet so that I can update the UDA and reload it back to the planning application.
However the moment i open in excel & make changes the formatting messes up and loads of unnecessary commas emerge.
Has anyone tried a better way of doing it?
Cheers,
XXX

Hi,
There are two methods to do this task:-
Excel -
1. Copy all the contents of the ADS file to the Excel sheet
2. Use text to columns feature and split the properties based on the pipe separator (|)
3. Add the lines you want to
4. Concatenate them with the pipe separator and paste it in ADS
Notepad ++ (I agree with Todd Johnson)
1. Open the file in Notepad++
2. make add the lines without making mistakes (it has a lot of rich features that improve accuracy)
3. save it and use it.
Thanks.

PDFmaker files missing using Excel 2003

I have a workstation that gets the "PDFmaker files missing" message whenever using acrobat to create a Excel 2003 file PDF.
Using Office 2003 and Acrobat 8.1.3 on Windows XP SP3
I have seen may posts on this but have not seen a resolution. Has this been resolved?? If so what is the solution??
Yes we can print to a PDF from Excel but the user wanted to just use Acrobat instead of having to load the files in Excel each time.
Thanks Jack

Having the same problem here. Doing a repair install did not fix it.
Vista 32-bit with 9.4.4 acrobat installed.
I have a test machine that is also Vista 32-bit with 9.4.3 and confirmed that it indeed does work. Going to update that machine and see if I can duplicate the issue.
Printing to PDF did work tho with 9.4.4.

Report generation using Excel

I created a VI for making a report in Excel. It works correctly, however when I built an executable files, it is unable to do the processing and announce ‘error 7 open VI reference in Excel’! I was wondering if anybody can guide me that how I can fix this error. Many thanks

Hello,
I think that if you add the Excel/Word dynamic VIs to your project, you will see them in the VI list when building your EXE, which would allow you to add them to your application as dynamic VIs. I'm guessing you currently don't have the Excel/Word dynamic VIs added into your project yet.
Good luck,

Error file generation using BDC

Hi .. friends . This is Sudhir . I have a scenario of loading 50 materials using BDC concept (generate session method) with tcode mm01. During loading if we have any faulty materials then they have to be written in a separate flat file (in the location which we specify in our pc). How can it be done? Hope your answers will be helpful for me to proceed further. Expecting for your reply...
With Regards
Sudhir S

Hi Sudhir,
            I had also similar requirement through Call Transaction method, Solution is
           We can store all messages occuring during exection of transaction (e.g MM01) in an internal table of type BDCMSGCOLL, so it contains message id, message no and not message description for that u have to pass internal table to a function module MESSAGE_TEXT_BUILD now u can get message description now store this in an internal table.
          Pass this internal table to a function module GUI_DOWNLOAD this will create flat file on ur PC based on the location u have given to this function module.
          For session method, session log contains the information u can check   INCLUDE program BDCRECX1 which will be created during recording, run this program in the debugger mode u will get idea.
Hope this will help u..............

LabView Exe Application file not launch Excel application for report generation

Dear All,
I created one LabVIEW application file for report generation (using Excel Template).
While I run the program in programming mode it works well and create the report file in the specified path.
After creation of the application file(exe), it gives the correct path of where the excel template is placed. The same path is given to New Report.vi, but it gives the error 'File Not Found'.
Tell me, is any other configuration required for generating Excel reports? (During exe application mode)
Give me the solution.
Thank You
Jegan.

Hello,
Most likely you are encountering a problem of stripping and/or building paths. Probably the easiest thing to do is put a couple indicators on your front panel for the path or paths you care about, build your exe, and make sure you are really using the path you'd like. If you always put the report at some deterministic place relative to the exe (that is, even it the exe is moved, it will go with the exe and remain in the same relative path location, then you can use the Current VIs Path funtion found in the ... File I/O -> File Constants palette as a start path (where you will want to strip at least the exe name off of course).
I think this will bring some clarity to the issue!

How-to use Excel for the XML file input?

Hello all,
Following our discussion with Gerhard Steinhuber on the very nice tutorial from Horst Schaude , "How to upload mass data via XML File Input" , I am starting this new discussion.
In the comments section of this previous cited tutorial, Rufat Gadirov explains how to use a generated XML from Eclipse instead of your XSD file as your source in Excel.
However, in spite of all the instructions, I am still facing the same issue in Excel when I try to save my file as XML : "The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable".
What I try to do is to create one or more Sales Orders with multiple Items in it from a XML File Input, using excel to enter data.
The part with the File input is working (if I directly upload my file to the webDAV, it creates a sales order instance with multiple items).
The only missing part is the Excel data input that I cannot make work. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my XML file that I try to use as a source in Excel before inputing data from Excel:

Hello Jacques-Antoine,
I suppose that as you have tried to construct a map from the schema, you have taken the elements from the List level down. In this case I also can't export the map.
But if you take the elements from the level MySalesOrderUploaded down, you'll get the exportable map (screenshots)

Generate CSV automatically using excel macro

Hi,
We actually make dimension hierarchy in excel and then make a CSV file and then load it into planning application. The CSV file containing parent child relationship of dimension members and other properties are made manually.
Can anyone help me regarding how can we generate CSV file automatically using excel macro and vba editor for dimension loading purpose???
Thanks
Agniva Chatterjee

You would need to write the VBA code yourself to populate the spreadsheet, I am not sure what you are expecting the forum to provide.

Error while loading members using ads file in EPMA planning app in 11.1.2.2

Hi,
I am trying to update the dimension using ads file in EPMA application(11.1.2.2).
1. I am getting following error:
"The member 'xxx' cannot be created or inserted into the shared dimension 'yyy' within the application 'abc' during application import as this is not allowed by the system. Property updates for this member will not be processed."
2. Also, I am trying to create shared dimension using ads file. I am replacing Isprimary property to 'N' and Datastore property to 'ShareData' in the ads file. There is no error while doing it and the status is 100% complete but I could not see any changes in the hierarchy.
Any help would be great in this.
Thanks

EPMA 11.1.2.2, EPMA Interface tables, .ADS File

DRM Gurus!
I'm looking for recommendations for updating EPMA with DRM. Thoughts about loading the EPMA interface tables vs using the new EPMA interface that comes with DRM 11.1.2.2 (creates the .ads file)? This client is going to have a large number of attributes... in case that matters. Recommendations are appreciated!
Cheers!

Use the DRM to EPMA templates to create .ADS files. I tend to be a late adopter of new software, i.e., DRM to EPMA using the DRM Web Services API. Wait until the bugs have been ironed out and then try the new adapter on your next gig perhaps.
