Essbase_gettingStarted

Question

I was trying the getting started pdf that links essbase and ODI. I was trying it manually ie. i m not importing models,projects, etc. I am trying to create them on my own. I am using the default context(Global).
1)When i try to reverse the essbase metadata using the RKM, i am able to create a datastore "sample_basicDataAsAColumn" but when i try to reverse "Sample_basicAsAMeasures", i am unable to do so, even though i do the required changes while reversing.
2)When i try to load the metadata into any dimensions it fails on the step where it loads metadata into essbase. it gives the following error-
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):

Answer 1

I am new to ODI and i am trying to link essbase and ODI but instead of using the work repository that we get in the sample zip file, I am trying to create model,interface and package myself. When i reverse the essbase i get a datastore called Market which is absolutely fine. the columns i get within this datastore are parent name,membername,etc..
But the source .csv file that we get to load the metadata for market dimension conatins columns like gen2, gen3, gen3alias,etc...
So i wasnt able to do any mapping between source and target. Then i imported the project and model which we get with sample zip file. I saw that we have 2 tables called Market and Genmarket and the metadata is being loaded into GenMarket(which has same columns as source .csv file).
So I wanted to know how to reverse this datastore within my model?
As a work around i copied the GenMarket datastore from imported model to my own model. And used it while creating my interface.Its workin and even the metadata is being loaded into essbase...
Thanks
