Essbase export question

Question

I have the strangest error.
I am trying to export Level 0 and import in our new enviornement.
Versions for target and source: 11.1.2.2
My method of export:*
Right click [database name] --> Export
Export to file [ name.txt]
Export option: Level0 data blocks
Export in column format
Expected output.
Header: Begbalance, jan -------> Dec, Period
This output
Header: "HSP_InputValue" "HSP_InputCurrency" "HSP_Rate_USD" "HSP_Rate_RMB" "HSP_Rate_CNY" "HSP_Rate_PLN" "HSP_Rate_EUR" "HSP_Rate_GBP" "HSP_Rate_MXP"
Now I have exported and imported other applications successfully and all of them include HSP_Rate dimension.
other info if you need:
These are EPMA history applications of from 11.1.1.3.
I am creating new BSO applications in our OOD 11.1.2.2 and importing the data (yes i am not migrating the planning app itself, just migrating the data into this bso)
please let me know what you think.
I have even tried restructuring the outline since HSP was the first dimension, i dont know why that was the first. But either way I relocated it in essbase. (did not do it in planning because it was deleted long before. Only essbase app is left. )

Yes I have tried it.
The thing is, in the output file there is no way to determine which member of the HSP_Rate dimension belongs where in the data. That being said there is no way the load rule will validate either. Here see below.
HSP_InputValue     HSP_InputCurrency     HSP_Rate_USD     HSP_Rate_RMB     HSP_Rate_CNY     HSP_Rate_PLN     HSP_Rate_EUR     HSP_Rate_GBP     HSP_Rate_MXP     HSP_Rate_INR     HSP_Rate_THB     HSP_Rates
Jul     FY13     BA     Working     Local     Stat_Center     230     xxx - CC10     4210C     100           
Jul     FY13     BA     Working     Local     Stat_Center     230     xxx- CC10     4210M     1000          
Jul     FY13     BA     Working     Local     Stat_Center     230     xxx- CC10     4250M     -100     
Jul     FY13     BA     Working     Local     Stat_Center     230     xxx- CC10     4299M     -132          
Jul     FY13     BA     Working     Local     Stat_Center     230     xxx- CC10     4501M     0          
Thats just first few lines of the data. But how can it tell. You see what I mean??
Edited by: 997328 on Jun 7, 2013 2:23 PMActually there is a way to know what value is what member. The line
HSP_InputValue     HSP_InputCurrency     HSP_Rate_USD     HSP_Rate_RMB     HSP_Rate_CNY     HSP_Rate_PLN     HSP_Rate_EUR     HSP_Rate_GBP     HSP_Rate_MXP     HSP_Rate_INR     HSP_Rate_THB     HSP_RatesIs a listing of the data values in order. It would start with the first numeric column after the members. from the look of the sample data it looks like these are all hsp_inputvalue. scroll through the file or import it to excel and look at the columns to see if any of the other columns have numeric values.
To be on the safe side, create a dummy file that has the dimension names like
Period Years ???? Version Currency entity ????? ????? ?????? then all of the hsp values and use that to build your load rule, that way if there is a row 20000 rows down that has more than hsp_inputvalue, you won't get an error when trying to load the file
