FDM Account Import Script

Dear All,
I am trying to write a script in account expression. This exp would pick account code which starts with digit "4", if yes then custom 1 dimension is [None].
Function AccImport(strField, strRecord)
if left(varvalue(13),1) ="4" Then
varvalue(20)=[None]
End If
End Function
This is the sample script i have written within data pump function
Can any body please help me in writting what should be the right script to this working.
Prince

In your import format on the Custom1 dimension add an import script to the Expression column.
Your source record strRecord has the Account value in it you just need to parse it out using DW.Utilities.fParseString. Then check if it starts with a "4" and if so have the script return "None" or else return the value in strField i.e. your original Custom1 source value.
There are plenty of examples of these techniques in the FDM Admin guide in the scripting section. Have a go at writing it yourself it will be much more useful in the long run than me writing the script here.

Per my answer on Network 54 you cannot test the script interactively in FDQM workbench. You must execute the integration script as part of the normal data load process.
Per the FDM Admin guide: "Integration scripts can be run only by selecting Script from the File Type column of the Import Group grid (top grid) of the Import Formats screen".
As I mentioned in my Network 54 post you can test the pure vbscript portions (without the FDQM specifics) to confirm that is working properly then add it to the integration script which will only run as part of a normal file import process.

Hi,
I found the problem.It was because of the connection string.The format was different for oracle tables.
PFB the format
*cnss.open"Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;Data Source= servername:port/SID;Database= DB;User Id=aaaa;Password=aaaa;"*
And thanks *SH* for quick response.
So closing the thread......
Thanks,

This code is really messy and not well structured, so it's no surprise you have an issue. Try the following:
1) Never have an Else clause in your If statements where you don't actually have an Else condition i.e. line 33, 40 etc
2) Use a Case statement to replace your outermost If. It will make your code easier to read and probably get rid of your error which will be caused by poorly sequenced/structured If statements.

FDM - Building Integration Import Scripts

Hi All,
I am trying to write an Integration Script to load SQL Server data into FDM 9.3.1. The script initialises a recordset object for the worktable that the source SQL Server data is loaded into.
The statement at which my script fails is:
Set rsAppend = DW.DataAccess.farsTable(strWorkTableName)*
I have followed the sample script documented in the FDM Admin Guide.
Does anyone have ideas as to why the script fails at this statement?
Thanks,

Subtracting Columns from Import File Using Import Script

The file I am importing to FDM contains two amount columns, 1 Debit, 1 Credit. I want to have the Amount field populate as the Debit minus Credits. I have attempted an import script that is giving me an error in the bolded line:

FDMEE import script not working

Hi,
I had a simple import script in FDM Classic that was removing every lines of data from a source file for every amount lower than 0.50 and higher than-0.50. The FDM Classic import script was:
Function Remove_50(strField, strRecord)
'Purpose: To skip lines of data Between -0.50 AND
0.50
If IsNumeric(strField) Then
   If Abs(strField) <= 0.50 Then
     RES.PblnSkip = True
   Else
     'Keep line:
     Remove_50 = strField
   End If
End If
End Function
Now, I have to convert it to FDMEE Jython. Here is my first try:
def PSA_Remove_50 ( strField, strRecord ):
if abs(strField) <= 0.50:
return 0
else:
return strField
Very simple import script but it is giving me a headache :Oo
Thanks for your help!
Dan

I'd also say to stick with the BigDecimal data type unless you have a really good reason for using the float data type. If you start to multiply floats then you can end up with horrors like this if you're not careful where inaccuracies can start to creep in:
>>> f = float(1.1)
>>> f*1
1.1
>>> f*2
2.2
>>> f*3
3.3000000000000003
That's just something to be aware of if you decide to take the float route

Import script (SQL to FDM) - ConnectionRead error

Hi,
I have written an import script in FDM to load data from a SQL view. This script works fine when loading approx 5,000 rows, however, fails when trying to load 20k+ rows
The error message I am receiving is:
Detail: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionRead (recv()).
At line: 72
Line 72 = rs.movenext 'moves to the next record in the SQL view.
I have tried ignoring a few columns in the import script (to reduce the data volume) - this works, however I need all columns.
Below is a copy of the script:
Function COG1_BrandPL(strLoc, lngCatKey, dblPerKey, strWorkTableName)

Dim strSQL 'SQL string
Dim rs 'Source (Cognos) recordset
Dim rsAppend 'FDM recordset
'Initialize ADO objects
Set cnSS = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
'Open FDM table recordset for appending
Set rsAppend = DW.DataAccess.farsTableAppend(strWorkTableName)
'Connect to SQL Server database
cnSS.open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=XXXXXXXXX;OLE DB Services =-2;Database=XXXXXX;Uid=USER;Pwd=PASSWORD;"
'Create SQL query string
strSQL = "Select * FROM Corporate_PLUOP_view"

RES.PstrActionValue = "No records to load!"
COG1_BrandPL = False
Exit Function
End If

rsAppend.Fields("PeriodKey") = dblPerKey
rsAppend.Fields("DataView") = "YTD"
'From Cognos
rsAppend.Fields("UD3") = rs.fields("Cube").value
rsAppend.Fields("Entity") = rs.fields("Entity").value
rsAppend.Fields("UD1") = rs.fields("Custom1").value
rsAppend.Fields("Account") = rs.fields("Account").value
rsAppend.Fields("ICP") = rs.fields("ICP").value
rsAppend.Fields("UD2") = rs.fields("Custom2").value

rsAppend.Update
rs.movenext
Loop
End If
rs.close
cnSS.close
'Assign Return value
COG1_BrandPL = True
End Function
The only other thing I have tried is copying and pasting the script to Excel.... This works for ALL rows... so seems to be a communication issue between FDM and SQL?
Any ideas?

FDM Import Script

Hi,
i'm new making import scripts to FDM. I m making an integration script between SAP and FDM. I m getting information from via web FDM, the problem is when i a m trying to add this information to the workTable. The code is as follows:
for i = 0 to tData.Rowcount
Set rsAppend = DW.DataAccess.farsTable(strWorkTableName1)
rsAppend.AddNew
rsAppend.Fields("PartitionKey") = RES.PlngLocKey
rsAppend.Fields("CatKey") = RES.PlngCatKey
rsAppend.Fields("PeriodKey") = RES.PdtePerKey
rsAppend.Fields("DataView") = "YTD"
rsAppend.Fields("Entity") = arrayResult(19)
rsAppend.Fields("Account") = arrayResult(0)
rsAppend.Fields("Desc1") = arrayResult(0)
rsAppend.Fields("ICP") = "[None]"
rsAppend.Fields("Amount") = saldoTotal
rsAppend.Update
next
Whe i execute this script i just receive an error message saying: "Error: Import Failed", nothing appears in the Error log, neither in the work table.
Can anyone help me? Does anybody know what can i do to add these records in the work table?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

How are you getting the table name for variable strWorkTableName1?
I'd suggest taking another look at the admin guide. There is an example import integration script in that document.

FDM import script with selectable source file

Hi All,
I would like to build an import script attached to an import format that imports a text file with multiple value columns.
Source file:
Entity, Detail, Account 1, Account 2
E_abc, D_abc, 100, 200
In FDM this needs to be:
Entity, Detail, Account, Amount
E_abc, D_abc, Account 1, 100
E_abc, D_abc, Account 2, 200
So i need to loop through the file.
My biggest challenge is that when i attach a script to an import format in the import process i cannot select a file from inbox anymore, it has to be a pre-defined file.
Has someone an example or solution how to make a script-import format and enable the select file from inbox?
And if possible has someone an example script of the issue stated above?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi Wayne..
Thanks for your reply (and sorry for the delay in mine).
Could you tell me what script to use to open the file in the befImport script, or how to rename the file in memory to a new one?
So i write a script that rewrites the file to a new file in the inbox but i need to tell FDM that it needs to process this new file.
Thanks,
Marc

Import script to remove zeros in Account field

Dear FDM Experts,
The problem is our source system always extracts 10 characters but we use 7 characters in HFM.
Example, Account 0001201010 (10 characters) must be 1201010 (7 characters).
I want to write an Import Script to remove, if any, all zeros from the left side of the account value at the import stage. We have no Accounts beginning with 0.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Carsten

How to use import script with FDM using adapter ERPI?

Hi,
I use FDM and ERPI 11.1.2 to load data from EBS R12 to Planning 11.1.2
Data loaded from eBS are YTD data.
I have seen that I could use an import script to calculate manually the amount with the periodic_net_cr and periodic_net_dr fields.
But how to use this import script? Because in my import format in FDM, I don't use a file but directly the adapter, so no "Expression" field.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello Fanny,
No you will not need to put anything in the BatchAction. If you review the FDM API Documentation posted it will outline all the scripts that will execute for a particular event ... and the order in which they execute. The BatchAciton only affects the execution of the batch ... it does not control processing of data. Processing of data is controlled by many others.
There is a script that can be written and placed (as Tony mentioned) in the ImportAction that will be able to recaculate the values from ERPi to be YTD values. You can possibly open an SR and a support Engineer can help you .... or you can search the current KM base and use that information there from the v11.1.1.3.00 version to build your own for v11.1.2.x
Thank you,

How to copy FDM setting (import format, dimension mapping, control table)

Dear All,
How to copy FDM setting (import format, dimension mapping, control table) from application to another application.
I found that only dimension mapping can be imported. Is there any way to copy FDM application quickly?
Thanks your help

If you get a chance try the following script, it's so simple and easy to extract all the map data to XML and will help in to import back through Import script.
Sub MapExtractor()
'UpStream WebLink Custom Script:
'Created By:      SatyaK
'Date Created:      12/08/09
'Purpose: This Script will produce a Account Map File for
'                         the current location.
'Execute the export
strFilePath = API.IntBlockMgr.InterfaceMgr.fExportMapToXML("File Path", PPOVPeriod)
End Sub

FDM - Account by Functional Area (Production and Sales)

I have assigned an import script in C4 to with an "S" or "P" based on the Functional Area field. I want to now suffix this to the Account which i can then use in the Explict Map. Does anyone know what the Account script needs to be to pick up the result of C4?

You will need to do a couple things:
1) Change the processesing order of the dimensions. This is done in the Dimensions metadata by explicitly defining an order of the dimensions using the Calc Sequence. i.e. ensure the C4 dimension has a lower number in the calc sequence column than account.
2) In the C4 import script aswell as returning the value from the function "S" or "P" make sure you assign the return value to a FDM Temporary variable e.g. RES.PvarTemp1
3) Add an import script to the account dimension in it suffix the account code with the the value held in the temp variable.

Simple logic group to operate prior to custom import script?

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I will gladly mark this thread as helpful or answered if you can help me. I'm a novice at FDM so please bear with.
I have a custom import script that assigns ICP None to a specific account (overriding any ICP detail). However, now I need the ICP detail for that account in a second statistical account. I setup a simple logic group to create the logic account that I can map to the statistical but then realized that the import script runs prior to the logic group so I lose all ICP detail in the logic account as well.
Is there a way to run the logic group prior to import script or is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
I'm not sure how critical this is but I'm using FDM v11.1.1.3.01 adapter 11x-G5-C

Do the following:
1) Remove the custom import script.
2) Create a complex logic account and override the ICP dimension in the Group By Column with the Value [ICP None]. This will then be what is diplayed on the import screen for this logic account.
3) Map the original source as the statistical account and the logic account as appropriate
