FDM Multiload Batch loader issue

Hi All,
I need help in Multiload Batch load process. I am working on FDM 11.1.2.1. We need to move data of 6 months. I am using comma separated Text file for this purpose.
When I am loading it through FDM user interface, it is fine (It is generating 1 export file for all 6 months with diffrent combination) but If I am trying to run it through FDM Batch load for Multiload it is generating the 6 export files and loading one by one (Which I don't want).
I want one export file generated for all month. Is there any setting by which FDM will stop multiple Export file generation for diffrent month.
Remaining process is Working fine if I am loading manually through FDM web.
Thanks,
Shivendra

Hi Shivendra
Unfortunately I think it is a "feature" of batch processing.
When processing multi-load files manually through FDM a text multiload source file produces a single export file while an excel multiload source file produces a separate export file for each period in the source file.
With batch processing unfortunately both types of source file behave the same as the manual excel way.
One option that may help you is parallel processing in the batch? Be warned though, that may not help either as the parallel processing will queue files for the same POV (I think from memory it treats different periods for the same location/category as the same POV in parallel processing so if you are loading say 12 periods for the same location/category you may not gain anything in parallel processing).
Hope this helps

IStore Images Batch Load Issue

Hello All,
We have been working on setting up a Batch load for product images for our iStore and have run into an issue. First off, this is more of a batch association since we are using already existing items.
The issue we are having is that we are using APPS.IBE_LOGICALCONTENT_GRP.SAVE_DELETE_LGL_CTNT API to tie the images to the items. The process runs without error, but on inspection of the iStore page, the link to the image is bad causing no image to be displayed. Going through the iStore Admin and checking the Catalog / Content everything looks fine.
If I remove the association to the content for the item, apply the change, then re-associate the content and apply, everything works fine. So, it would appear that the content is not the issue. We will be loading 1000+ image associations, so having to manually fix each one is not a very good option.
After creating the Item - Content association, is there another API or something else that needs to be run so that the image correctly shows up on the iStore?
Thanks
Kyle

1. Did you try using save_logical_content API.
2. Did you verify the table IBE_DSP_OBJ_LGL_CTNT, IBE_DSP_LGL_PHYS_MAP. If data exists, Please send me an email to [email protected]

FDM/ERPi Batch Loader Error

Hello,
I have set up FDM with the ERPi adapter and I can successfully import data via the FDM web. I have several locations set up to import from multiple ledgers so I would like to set up a batch process to do this. To test this, per the documentation I created a blank file with the appropriate name convention and but it in the OpenBatch folder. When I kicked off the batch process it failed with the message:
"one or more processes failed to start, please see batch reports or error log"
When I checked the server, the file was moved from the OpenBatch folder to a folder with a unique name (as expected).
Here is the output from the error log:

I used serial batch load. Some progress I have made is that the admin account can successfully run the batch load on server itself. So it seems as if I there is a folder I need write permissions to that I don't have. Currently I have write access to (via a share) the folder for the FDM application I am loading and all its subfolers. Still trying to figure out what additional write privileges I need to get.
Any help would be appreciated.

FDMEE : Batch Loader Issue

Dear All,
I am facing problem with Batch loader. It was working fine earlier but not now. The changes made between working and not working status is UNC update. UNC details got updated from F:/FDMEE to \\frs-ICT-03\FDMEE.
Below mentioned is error.
Executing open batch: Prestwick_Test

I guess, I have access to the folder but don't see file getting archieving in folder as per Process Id: Like if Process Id is 7080, batch loader normally creates a folder 7080 and achierve the files into it Correct ? But I am not able to see the folder being created and file getting achieved. Data Type = file load.

Problem with Batch Loader and FDM user regional settings

Hi
I am using FDM 11.1.2.1.
When I use the English regional settings for my FDM user account, I can do Export Excel from FDM, but Batch Loader doesn't work (Error : "one or more parallel processes failed to start).
When I use the French regional settings for my FDM user account, Export to Excel doesn't work anymore (Error: Conversion from string "12.0" to type 'Long' is not valid. Detail: InnerException1: Input string was not in a correct format.), but the Batch loader is ok.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Mittal,
By default, formats for date is determined by the report server language at run time. The report server language is the language of the operating system on which the report server is installed. So the formats for date is determined by the language of the
operating system on which the report server is installed.
When you deploy the report to SharePoint site that the regional setting is set to English (Australia), please also set the report language to ‘en-AU’. Then the date format can be also changes to English (Australia).
If the issue is still exited, could you please tell us the date format of date parameters and the field? If possible, please post the screenshot about this, then we can make further analysis.

About Batch Loader and Multiload Journal files

Hi, may someone help me in 2 questions/
Can I use Batch Loader to automate process FDM journals and load it to HFM?
And second, is it possible to use multiload excel files for these journals?
Thx

Edited by: user10941958 on Jan 22, 2010 2:56 AM

You can use the Trial balance file for loading journals. Just select the location and set data value to entity currecy adjustments. The data will go as journal entry even if you use trial balance file but you wont have 2 columns debit and credit only one colum for amount.
Hope this is helpful.
If you find any post helpful or correct please mark it.

FDM batch loader script

x
Edited by: user2657915 on Apr 16, 2012 10:15 AM

Yes, you can use the batch loader to execute a SQL integration Script that is assigned to a location for import. You would create a blank text document with the proper file naming convention for batch files as noted in the FDM administrator guide and then place the files in OpenBatch and execute the batch via script or the GUI in the workbench. It will go to this POV and execute the Integration Script assigned to the location.

Loading file in Merge Mode through the batch loader in FDM

Hi,
I have multiple locations loading in replace mode and 1 location loading in merge. We are using the batch loader and following the naming convention specified in the admin guide. Is there a way to specify in the location name to load the file to HFM in merge mode, or does that location need a seperate adapter with the load rule set to merge?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

You dont need a spearate adaptor. You can achieve this by changing the naming of the files. I believe u currently use RR option for replacing the data. (seq_<Location>_<Category>_<Peiod>_RR.txt). You can use A or R appropriately in your load method.

The wonderful world of Batch Loading - what's going on?

Hi,
I'm having an issue with the batch loader. When I load a file using batch loader and the the same file manually executing the workflow I get two different datasets at the import stage. I have a single import script and it seems that it doesn't execute properley when the file is loaded via the batch loader but does when I perform a manual import. I can't think of any logical reason for this. The script is getting executed but only partially when the batch load is run. I make use of a FDM temporary variable in the script RES.PvarTemp1, and this is the only thing I can think of that may be failing. Do these work when the batch load is run? Has anyone else experienced similar problems with the batch loader and import script execution?
Any ideas are very welcome :-)

Is the iPhoto icon showing crossed out? Like this?
When you shot down your Mac, it may have installed a system update, that had been downloaded automatically.
Which version of MacOS X are you currently running? The newest MacOS X version 10.10.2 requires iPhoto 9.6.
Try to download and install the newest iPhoto version from the App Store "Featured" page.

Batch Loader File Name - Replace/Append?

We employ a custom/smart merge in FDM that automatically removes previously loaded intersections in HFM 11.1.2.1 by appending NODATA lines at the end of our load file based on the information included in the previous load file. In the FDM configurations, users are only able to use the MERGE option when loading data so that this functionality is not subject to override.
We have just purchased and developed a Batch Loader solution that we'd like to pair with this smart merge functionality and I want to be sure that we are requiring appropriate file name configuration based on a MERGE data load setting. If I understand the file name conventions for batch loader correctly, the "RA", "RR", "AR", "AA" suffix at the end of the loader determines whether batch loader runs through a replace or append.
If we want a location's file to replace the previous load file within FDM during the import step, but load all data files to HFM using a merge, should my filename end with "RA"? Also, if someone accidentally uses RR, does changing the Adapter Option (FM11X-G5-ELoadOptMethodVal) to only show Merge protect against a replace load?
Thanks in advance!
S

The Load Tags are as follows:
Load Method for FDM: R,A
Load method for Target System: R,A
That is correct, if you want to do a replace in FDM and a Merge in HFM you would use RA or RM.
RR would perform a replace in FDM and a Replace in HFM.
You would need to test removing the Replace from the option in the adapter and see if it would fail for load.

FDM Multiload Replace during Import

During our FDM multiload process, with source as a text file, and target as Essbase, this is the metadata header rows being used in the source text file.
PLANLOAD
ACTUAL
Nov - 2010
1
R,R,,,,,N
UD8,UD7,UD2,UD3,C,UD4,UD5,,,UD1,UD6,A,V
The first 'R' in the 5th row denotes 'Replace' during FDM load. But even after using this, every time I import fresh, it is adding on to the existing records in the FDM table, instead of clearing the existing records.
Is there a setting elsewhere to clear the FDM table before every import. Isn't this supposed to happen by default?
Thanks.

This is because you have only 1 period in the multiload. I actually have an open enhancement request for this. Try it with more than 1 period and it works.

thx Jiri for your response but issue has been resolved. Actually earlier everything was working fine but all of sudden that day it stopped working. If you see the exceptions where it was referring "libJniNativeOsUtils.so" was 64 bit and when i replaced that with 32 bit, it started working.
It really surprises me why and how it got changed but and how everything was working earlier :)
thx anyways.

Create shortcut via batch loader or other API

Does anyone know whether it is possible (and if so, how) to create shortcuts via batch loader?
If this is not possible, is there an API which could do this?
I will need to create a lot of shortcuts, so am looking for a way to do this in bulk, i.e. programmatically.
Thanks,
-paul

(Please excuse if there is any mistakes. this is my first post)
If you are using the FDM's Task manager for the Batch loading, Just have a lookinto that Script whcih you have scheduled for the Batch process. you will find below row in the script.
Set BATCHENG.PcolFiles = BATCHENG.fFileCollectionCreate(CStr(strDelimiter))
BATCHENG.mFileCollectionProcess BATCHENG.PcolFiles, CLng(lngProcessLevel), ,CBool(blnAutoMapCorrect)
Assume you are loading Sigle file from "OpenBatch" folderwhen ever scheduler executes the script. If so replace the above as below.
Set BATCHENG.PcolFiles = BATCHENG.fFileCollectionCreate(CStr(strDelimiter), File1)
BATCHENG.mFileCollectionProcess BATCHENG.PcolFiles, CLng(lngProcessLevel), ,CBool(blnAutoMapCorrect)
Where File1 = Path for the file name to be loaded. So that file will not be moved from the "OpenBatch" folder. then you can append below VB script to the existing script to rename the file name.
Set FSO1 = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set File1= FSO1.GetFile("<File Path>")
File1.move ("New path")
Where "File Path" = FDM Directory\FDM Application\Inbox\Batches\Openbatch\1_LocationA_WLACTUALS_Nov-2009_RR.txt
"New Path" = FDM Directory\FDM Application\Inbox\Batches\Openbatch\1_LocationB_WLACTUALS_Nov-2009_RR.txt
and use the Batch processing script Again.
Set BATCHENG.PcolFiles = BATCHENG.fFileCollectionCreate(CStr(strDelimiter), File2)
BATCHENG.mFileCollectionProcess BATCHENG.PcolFiles, CLng(lngProcessLevel), ,CBool(blnAutoMapCorrect)
Here File2 is the path for new file (LocationB.)
So that, You can get the Single file from the Source system and you can load to two locations at a time with in the Single execution of the script. and Also make sure to write a script to copy the new file from "OpenBatch" folder to backup location like Inbox or as required as this script will not move the file from the "OpenBatch" directory. (Move script as same as mentioned above)
Reply me if you have any doubts....

FDM - Multiload - "AftValidate" / "AftWeblinkVal" event problems

I have built a custom made intersection validation report for multiload using excel as the source file. I basically modified the HFM adaptor and used the inbuilt loop in "if strEventName = "AftWeblinkVal"" (i.e. aftvalidate) to change the POV period. This worked fine and all I need to do is readjust the output to show all reports for all period and not just for the latest. This should be easy. However, problem is that when I have a text file, the "loop"doesn't work the same way as POV period stays the same. I think this is a bit srange, but hey what can you do? I guess it is linked to that with the excel you transfer period per period and with the text file FDM creates one load file and consolidates multiple periods simultaneously.
Is it somehow easily possible to modify that the strEventName = "AftWeblinkVal"-loop changes the period also for the text file?
If not, can you somehow easily deduct how many "periods" / "records" you have looped in the strEventName = "AftWeblinkVal"? i.e. I would like to track the progress of the loop.
If not, then I have to built some fancy custom made recorder to track the progress, but I wouldn't want to go done on the that road if not neccessary and I would prefer to use the text file.
I'm using FDM 11.1.1.1.0 currently...

Sorry for the confusion but when I was talking about putting the count in an FDM variable I was in fact referring to one of the FDM API global variables i.e. PvarTempNC1 which can be accessed via the API --> API.DataWindow.Reports.PvarTempNC1.
Store your count in this variable and increment as appropriate. The reason your count only ever shows as one is because the multiload action is executed every for every period in the multiload file for the multiload AftValidate event so even if you put it outside your IF satement capturing the event it will still be reset to 0 and in any case the declared count variable will only ever be local to each execution of the multiload action.
Your code needs to be something like:
if strEventName = 'choose an event that excutes before the validate event e.g. import / check in etc'
'intialise the global variable to zero
API.DataWindow.Reports.PvarTempNC1 = 0
end if
if strEventName = "AftWeblinkVal" then ' the strEventName for action after validate is AftWeblinkVal and not AfValidate, maybe because I'm using FDM 11.1.1.1.0 ?
'variable only ever gets incremented for this specific event and will therefore record the number of periods in the multiload file
API.DataWindow.Reports.PvarTempNC1 = API.DataWindow.Reports.PvarTempNC1 + 1
"Write count" 'I omitted the code for the sake of simplicity, but I basically store the count into a txt.file
end if

Batch Loader Email

I am using a process method of serial and I have an email notification code in the batch loader script that is sent out to the admin. The email notifcation has a message based on the Process State. If I am testing with one file, the email sent with no issues. If am testing multiple files, the email is sent out when the last file is loaded. I would like an email sent out to the admin after every file is loaded.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Yes, I follow you and that's a problem with writing the e-mail notification from within the Batch Loader script that you created.
If you wan to do this in the Batch Loader script that you've made, then you would need to call the BATCHENG for the current BatchID and then call the recordset to list the files collected during the BATCHENG process. Then once you have the list of files, you can do a loop to trigger nofication for each file. I won't be able give you source code for this, but if you go through the Supplemental API in the workbench, it has everything you need.
For example, calling "farsFileListforBatchID" will return a list of all files for the specified BatchID. This works for SERIAL running batches, but there are some issues when running in Parallel.
