EPMA-Loading metadata using Interface tabes-Member sort order-Property?

Hi,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Version: 11.1.1.2
Loading metadata for planning app in EPMA using interface tables.
What property ( table , column) do I set to set the SORT ORDER for members within a dimension. I can arrange them manually by reordering children i nthe UI. The SYSTEM>sort order property does change manually after the metadata is loaded.
Thanks.

Some more info
I am loading members into Acount Dimension.
I am using following tables as source tables.
hs_account_hierarchy
hs_account_member
hs_account_property
hs_account_propertyArray
I use hs_account_propertyArray to load member Alias and member sort order.
Alias loads rightly. Sort order is not taken taken into account at all while loading. The sort order after the dimension is loaded is Alphabetical.
Sample records in my propertyArray table look like
Property Name Key Value
Order Common Stock Default 2
Order Warrants and Options Default 3
Order Additional Paid in Capital Default 4
Order Cumulative translation adj Default 5
Order Retained earnings (loss) Default 6
In the Load profile, I associate this Order property with Order property for shared library.
When the import is done, everything gets loaded properly, except for the SORT ORDER. The sort order is alphabetical. So the above members look like this
Additional Paid in Capital
Common Stock
Cumulative translation adj
Retained earnings (loss)
Warrants and Options
instead of being in the sort order mentioned above.
Thanks.

  • EPMA 11.1.2.1 dimension build from FlatFile to EPMA to EssbaseASO using ODI, member sorting order issues

    We are building our EssbaseASO cube using FlatFiles which are pushed to EPMA via interface tables and then the EPMA Essbase app is deployed to Essbase, this entire job is done through a ODI interface/package. The problem I am facing is the Order in which members in EPMA appear, even though the FlatFile has the right sorting order, by the time the hierarchies arrive into the EPMA interface table the sort order is changed randomly.
    I am using the File to SQL control append IKM in ODI and some where on the way I saw a suggestion to add a new option to insert "ORDER BY" into the IKM. I successfully did this and it did change the sort order but even this is not the right order(order in which my flatfile has the dimensions).
    I can't understand why Oracle/ODI needs to randomize the rows without being asked to do so! Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue before and if they were able to resolve it.

    The EPMA interface tables have a SORTORDER column. Make sure this is populated with numeric values sequencing the order you want your members to appear in the EPMA hierarchies and when you import from the interface tables this order will be respected. Prior to this feature being introduced the workaround was to create a view referencing the interface tables imposing the required ORDER BY clause but this isn't required in 11.1.2.1 just use the SORTORDER column

  • Loading dimensions using interface table

    Hello,
    I am trying to load dimensions into EPMA 11.1.1.3 using interface tables and need some direction. I have an accounts dimension file with the following columns ( Parent, Child, Alias, Description, DataType,Aggregation). I configured a data source using configuration wizard (Interface tables).
    I see in the database that some sample tables are created. Now, should I create a separate table with the columns listed above?
    Can someone let me know what are the next steps to successfully import accounts dimension?
    Thanks

    Can someone plz respond?
    This is important for me. I have gone thru' the documentation and also the sample tables but don't understand why are there multiple tables for a particular dimension viz. hierarchy, property etc?
    Please tell me the right way.
    Thanks again!!

    Hello experts,
    Is there a way to disable node sorting order or in other word enable sorting in any order the user wants? There is no one particular rule that can be applied. I tried to create a derived Sort property and assigned it a value/formula of just 0 or 1. When I dragged a node around and tried to drop it as a sibling somewhere else higher up in the tree under the same parent, I got this message: "1: The server returned an error processing CopyNodes: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list."

  • Using member sorting and grouping with two reports sharing rows

    Hi!
    I have a problem with one report and I need some help or advise here.
    I have two dimensions with dynamic expansion in rows (PRODUCT, MATERIAL), and I use the option Member Sorting and Grouping at Member selector to obtain the total amount of PRODUCT group by PARENTH1:
    PRODUCT               MATERIAL          AMOUNT
    TOTAL PROD_A-X                                   100
    PROD_A_A             MAT1                          22
    PROD_A_B             MAT1                          50
    PROD_A_A             MAT2                          28 
    TOTAL PROD_B-X                                   120
    PROD_B_A             MAT1                          30
    PROD_B_A             MAT2                          50
    PROD_B_B             MAT2                          40
    This works fine if I only have one report, but I need to create another one sharing the row and page axis with the Default Report, when I do that the option Member Sorting and Grouping doesn't work. I really need to have two reports with shared rows and also the summation by PARENTH1, how can I do that?
    Thank you very much

  • Sort Order as per HFM Hierarchy

    Hi,
    I am in a situation, where I need to generate/export a hierarchy from DRM, ensuring members are in the exact order as they are in the upstream HFM application.
    Is there a way to generate a sort order, or assign the sort order property values of members after loading them to the hierarchy.
    Meaning, I want to manually change the order of the members in the hierarchy, and then have the sort order property take values based on the order of the member in the hierarchy.
    Can anyone tell me how i can achieve this, or even create a derived sort order property which can employ such a logic?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Anindyo

    Go to hierarchy properties for which you want node to have sort order.
    give the property value for StandardHierSort as SortOrder.
    Now run the automator to change the property SortOrder for each nodes.
    You can set value as 1 for nodes you want first in extract then 2,3, so on.
    Instead of running automator for each node, you can also create a derived property of type sort and use that in hier level property
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • How do you change the sort order of mp3 songs?

    I have transfered MP3 files from my PC to itunes & iPod and created my own compilation albums for some of my favourite artists. However I would like to change the order of the songs but I dont know how to do this. I cant see what itunes or the ipod is using to determine the sort order!
    thanks
    Tom

    tinny's advice will work if you gave them an album name and they are actually listed in your library as an album. (Under Get Info, just tell it track 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc.)
    IF you created a playlist for the album, click on the column for the track numbers and then click and drag the songs into the order you want.

  • Sort order notes iOS 6.0

    Since it is finally possible to sort my Notes with MacOS 10.8.2 I am desperately seeking for the same possibility on my iPhone and iPad (iOS 6.0). It does neither use the sort-order (alphabetically!!!) from my desktop Mac nor am I able to change the sort-order on my iPhone. This is really a pain! Any solution out there???
    Please Apple, if you dont want to allow the users to make their own choice of sort order, at least let them use and transfer the sort order they have on their Mac!!!
    By the way: same problem with photos! With iOS 6.0 the devices do NOT use (anymore) the sort order of my iPhoto-folders. WHY? Help!

    HI Friend,
    You must set the Cellular Data according (Settings>>General>>Cellular>>Cellular Data). Contact your carrier for further information.
    Turn on Cellular Data, Roaming and 3G as well, even your carrier doesn't have 3G available.
    Did you turn on Restrictions before?
    Hope it will be helpful

  • Loading metadata into EPMA applications using Interface tables-Automation

    Hi,
    I am loading the metadata into epma applications using interface tables as ODI dont perit to load metadata into epma applications. Is there any way of using ODI and interface tables together to load the metadata
    This process also need to be automated.

    Hi,
    It is certainly possible and has be done, though there is not anything available that will do it for you, you will have to put in some effort learning the structure of the interface tables, then build interfaces and then a package in ODI to streamline the process.
    Cheers

  • ODI: Load metadata into EPMA ("non-classic") Planning app

    Hi all, I know about loading metadata to classic planning/essbase application, but tell me please if its possible to load metadata to non-classic planning app (I mean created in Architect (in application library) and see it in dimension library?
    maybe there is some workaround for this situation
    thanks in advance

    Version 11.1.1.0.0. We have successfullly used EPMA Interface Tables to manage our planning metdata. We went this direction to avoid introducting another ETL/ELT tool (ODI) into our clients infrastructure. At the time, we didn't realize that ODI was not supported for EPMA (only Classic). I'm thinking of logging an SR to confirm if this limitation will be addressed in a later version of planning. The EPMA administrators guide provided enough detail to help us get started with Interface tables. The one area that created an issue for us was how EPMA ordered the load of members in the EPMA Interface Hierarchy table. Parent members need to be loaded before children. If this ordering is not followed , you will get "Orphan" errors. We could not find a documented process to control the load order, so we need to devise a workaround. Our workaround involved creating a view against the EPMA Interface table to order the retrieval of members so that parents appeared before their children. The Oracle CONNECT BY clause works well to handle this requirement. To make this view visible to EPMA you'll need
    to replace the base hierarchy table with the view by updating the EPMA IM_DIMENSION table. EX:
    update IM_DIMENSION set C_HIERARCHY_TABLE_NAME = 'HS_Entity_Hierarchy_VW' where C_DIMENSION_NAME = 'Entity';
    Alternate hierarchies also require separate EPMA Import profiles. Since only one set of EPMA Interface tables can be used to load a single dimension, you'll need a process that does the following for each alternate hierarchy.
    1) Clear EPMA Interface Tables
    2) Load EPMA Interface Tables
    3) Execute EPMA Import Script
    Finally, it's not clear how the I_LOAD_ID column (i.e. load id) is initialized in EPMA Interface tables (by default it's NULL). A load id is somehow assigned each time a Import profile is executed. A load id can be used (among other critiera) to clear EPMA interface tables. However, when I execute a Import profile, EPMA did not assign a load id (I_LOAD_ID was still null). Not sure if I_LOAD_ID is user assigned and is static? Again, very little documentation on how to manage the load id (what is user defined verses what is managed by EPMA).

  • How to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI

    Hi All,
    1.Can you tell anyone, how to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI. Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.
    2. What was the interface tables. How the interface tables will be useful while importing metadata into EPMA application (Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.). And tell me the interface tables structure and work process. give me the clear idea bout interface tables. I don't know anything about interface tables.
    3.Which method(either using ODI or Interface tables) is optimized/bestcase for importing metadata into EPMA application.
    My database is Oracle 10g and I am using Planning 9.3.1.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks And Regards,
    Bhagya Lakshmi.

    Hi,
    Answer to your questions
    1. You can't import metadata directly into EPMA using ODI, the only option is use the EPMA interface tables which is your question 2.
    2. Interface tables are just a structure of database tables which you populate with metadata and then this is pushed into EPMA, the structure of the tables takes a while to get an understanding of. The best place to start would be the documentation :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/bpma_admin.pdf
    3. As explained in question 1 you can't use ODI directly to import metadata into EPMA but with a lot of hard work and effort you could probably populate interface tables from EPMA, though I must admit I am not a fan of the interface tables because I don't think they were designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind.
    Cheers
