Extracting HFM Metadata

Hi
I am currently researching the possibilities for extracting HFM metadata into a SQL database. I know ODI has a KM to extract the members for the dimensions.
Could you confirm the format that these members are extracted in?
Does it extract them in a parent/child format or just a flat list members?
Thanks

Hi Paul,.
I tried the script and it worked well for me, except the state/rrovince was blank.  I think it must be from the category where the city and country wer before that didn't show.
Previously it was a very convoluted procedure for me to get the info to my Access database.  I would first enter the info in MSWorks database, because of the time saver of the fill-down and fill series that MSAccess doesn't have.  After entering all the info I would save it as a text file and import into Access after assigned the fields, some of which had to be modified slightly as one for example would such as slide # and the other slide_#,  One I couldn't change and if I changed the other in ACCESS then all the queries and reports based on it would have to redone also..  I would get the fields to coincide and then do an append query to add to the main table.
I had only one location field when I set up the database, and not separate ones as in Bridge, so city, state and country would all be in the same field. I would only add country when it was not US which was seldom.
In anticipation of the ability to import the different location fields, I added city, state/province and country to the database, and then I spent about 8 hours creating hundreds of update queries, for each state, city and country to have the data of 166,000 records in the respective fields.
I did a sma run yesterday with a folder that only had a couple dozen images.  I have to reorder the fields somewhat, but this is promising to be a huge time-saver and I look forward to using it when I have some much bigger downloads to convert.
Thanks very much for all your help with this.

  • ERPI - cannot run extract for HFM metadata rule

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of configuring ERPI for FDM/HFM, no EPMA, version 11.1.1.3. Things are working fine until I created an HFM metadata rule and wanted to run the extract.
    I see the extract ID and I can look at the process details and see it in there, but nothing is happening: no processes in ODI Operator, no log entries for the process ID in ERPI.
    Can somebody tell me what I'm missing? Also, is there a log file with information on what's going on behind the scenes, in case the process doesn't even get to ODI?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Simple explanation: the agent wasn't running.
    I haven't found out if there is a log file with general information, though. Does anyone know?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.
    Yes you are correct. Dimensions are different in HFM and Planning. I understand why we need different targets but my concern now is since Option B is correct and lets say I am extracting Net Income (Under Account Dimension) rollup from EBS into Shared Library. Will it automatically update Net Income in HFM and Planning both? (Note:-Net Income Rollup exists in both HFM and Planning) or I will have to manually drag and drop Net Income from shared library to HFM and Planning application?.
    In other words does it update the Shared Library and applications at the same time?
    Thanks again.

  • HFM Metadata File deleted automatically in 11.1.2.3

    Hello All
    I have created HFM Metadata Manually in the Manage Metadata (Client), When I am saving the changes for the 2nd time, I got "unexpected error"  and automatically deleted my Metadata file which I have created.
    I faced this kind of error for 2 times, and its deleting my Metadata files which I have created. I could not find my Metadata files even in Recycle Bin.
    I have spend 3 Hrs for Building HFM Metadata. My Efforts are gone to waste.
    Is this is Bug in 11.1.2.3 Version?? Do I need to apply any patch for this??
    kindly suggest.
    Regards
    Dev

    Hi. Have you assigned the classes to the entities within the metadata? If so, how are you checking that there is access or no access - data grid? The user may still see the other entiies in member selection dialog boxes unless you've checked the enable metadata security filtering within application settings.
    Regarding [default], have you assigned classes to EVERY metadata item? If not, and it's common not to, then give All access to [default].

  • Extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects

    How do it extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects?
    I am just getting my hands dirty with metadata.
    I know it is possible to attack metadata to a layer/layerset in Photoshop, but how to I get it out in After Effects.
    Here is the process.
    I create BunchaLayers.psd.
    Using the PerLayerMetaData.jsx file attached.
    I use the setCommMetadata("something") function to attacked metadata to a selected layer.
    I know that is is there because I check it using the exportLayerMetadata().
    I save and imprt BunchaLayers.psd into AE as a comp.
    Here I am lost.
    I select my layer in the project window and check the XMP metadata window.
    I can't find my comment.
    Is the XMP data actually attached to the layer I imported in AE?
    I want to be able to select the layer and see that the data is attached.  Is this possible?
    If it is will it work on layersets (comps in AE)?
    I would appreciate any layer specific XMP insight.
    Thanks for looking.

    John Nack on Adobe : Per-layer metadata comes to Photoshop
    This was the article that made me think this might be possible.
    There is also the preference to Create Markers From Metadata
    ["Metadata"]
              "CreateLayerMarkersFromFootageXMP" = 01
    Which made me wonder if there is a way to create the metadata in the first place that made it something AE would read and automatically change to layer markers.
    Any ideas?

  • Extract Essbase metadata

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create an interface to extract Essbase metadata. I reversed an essbase model. At the interface diagram window, I was able to drag the essbase dimension into the source area. However, i don't see the Target Datasource area where I can drop the target model into. How do I get to see the Target area?
    Thanks

    Thank you I see that. When I opened it, it showed in horizontal view. How can I switch it to Vertical view where I can see the source and the target at the same time?

    Not sure if it's valid to have a dimension with 1 hierarchy and 1 level in that hierarchy. The hierarchy may have to have at least 2 levels. If you want the configuration of a dimension with 1 hierarchy and 1 level, CWM2 may want you to omit the hierarchy, thus creating the dimension with only 1 level.

  • Suggestions to create HFM Metadata using excel template

  • Workflow to extract artist metadata within an mp4 movie

    When I add an mp4 file to a document library, I would like to be able to run a workflow to get the artist name out of the file and I'll set a column with that.
    I may want to get other fields at a later point, but I need to know how to start this process 

    Hi Carphuntin_god,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use workflow to extract embedded metadata from a video file to SharePoint 2010.
    Per my knowledge, there is not an OOB way to achieve it. You can get the embedded metadata using programming.
    Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

    Or, you can use a third party solution called Video Library to get the embedded metadata from video files.

  • I'm using LR 4.4.  How do I extract the metadata from my images and export it into Excel?

    I want to extract the metadata I have added to my images and export it into an Excel spreadsheet.  Can this be done within LR4.4?  If the software doesn't have a function for this is there another way to do it?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    JB's ListView is the most straight-forward solution, but
    ConfidentialInformant
    allows for full customization (e.g. if you want to pick and choose custom metadata fields, or export more fields than ListView supports (10), or tweak data formats, or add intelligence...).

  • Workspace Error Running Financial Reports Post HFM Metadata Change

    We recently updated the metadata in HFM to use the Custom4 dimention. We are now trying to run reports from Workspace and get an error 5200 - error executing query. I have confirmed that the database connection in Workspace is ok. I am able to run the reports from the Financial Reporting Studio. Any ideas what's wrong when running from Workspace?

    That error means that the report is trying to retrieve data from a member that either does not exist or is not valid. I have seen it happen when the user POV chooses [Year] for period.
    I would start by trying to get the report to run from Report Studio where you can control the POV settings. If you still get the error, you will need to go through every data point in the report and verify that each member exists.

  • HFM Metadata Loading On-going Problem

    Hi There,
    We just migrated to HFM 11.1.1.3 from HFM 4.
    We used to have an issue in HFM 4 where almost everytime we loaded metadata, the system would hang and become unresponsive. The load screen would just sit there without ever completing the load. You could still use the system but the metadata load would never actually load. The only thing that would resolve it would be to reboot all of the HFM application servers.
    This happened to us again the other day but now we're on the new HFM 11.1.1.3. Again, the resolution was to reboot the HFM applications. We tried just restarting the services on the various servers but that didn't work. A full reboot was required.
    And nothing was wrong with the metadata itself as it quickly loaded without errors into our DEV and QA environments. As well, we kicked all of the users out of the system prior to the metadata load. Most get out immediately and certainly no heavy calculations or consolidations are being performed during the metadata load.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Should a reboot always precede or accompany a metadata load? Is there any recommendation as to how often you should reboot the Hyperion servers (monthly, quarterly, etc.) as good practice?
    Many Thanks,
    Mike

    We are having a similar issue with version 11.1.2.0.0
    We try to run an application metadata load from the client and we get an error message
    Unexpected error: 80005005 occurred.
    Running the load from the workspace, we receive the following message.
    An error has occurred. Please contact your administrator.

    This is the second time we have encountered this problem. Oracle support was not able to determine the cause. The fix is to reboot the database server, but we are looking for insight to the problem. Note: Our current development environment is a single server virtual environment connected to a database server. We are planning to move to a more robust test environment with four applications and one database server in a few weeks.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Extract schema/metadata - names for all tables and attributes

    Hi, I am quite new to Oracle DB (only been doing dev mostly with sqlserver before). Is there a way to extract schema (names for all tables and attributes) for 10g and 11g in application code (either java or .net) or pl/sql?
    Thank you,
    -Tony

    There are built in views that start with DBA_, ALL_, and USER_. All means all the user can see, user means all the user has, and dba means everything, which generally means the same as the others plus an owner. So you can desc user_tables to see what-all that view has, then select columns from the view with ordinary sql. See the doc set for all the views available, interesting ones are ...views, ...objects, ...tab_cols and so forth.
    There are also built in procedures for getting metadata, google for details.
    Many tools have easy GUI's for this too. EM has ways on the administration screen to get to various objects, and then you can show the ddl. Maybe sqldeveloper has something too.

  • HFM-Metadata changes -impact on Database.

    Hello Experts & Gurus,
    1)  I want to understand the impact of changes in MetaData (Members of Dimensions like Scenario, Year, Period....) on the size of database in HFM.
    2) If Metadata changes can result in creating new tables or cubes, can we find out such new tables or cubes which were created and delete them to take back the Database to Normal Stage.
    Thanks in Advance....

    Hello Erich,
    Thanks for your reply.
    We have did some changes to MetaData and uploaded into production. We had some serious issues with the performance of the Application.
    We revoked the MetaData but still we have problems with Application.
    What strange we have observed is size of Data, which has increased three folds than previous, I am of opinion that change in MetaData might of created new cubes or tables and increased the size.
    Please correct me if I am wrong and let me know your opinion what might have increased the data base size..
    Thanks & Regards.
