FDM Script to import data

Hi,
I'm new to FDM scripting. So any pointers will be appreciated. I need to import a TB with the following format in exel file.
row1 ***CostCenter Number***
row2 ***TB name*
row3 - Other parameters
row4 - Blank
row5 - Data headers
row6 - Data begins - format given below -
row7 - Account Desc Opening Bal Closing Bal
I have created an import format with the 4 fields - CostCentre, Account,Desc and closing bal. Now my question is -
1. How do i create script that picks the costcenter number from row1 ?
Thanks in Advance!!

That format will not work in an excel file, FDM requires a specific excel template, also the FDM excel templates do not use import scripts,so first convert to a csv file.
You will then need to use a temporary variable for this e.g. RES.PvarTemp1 and create 2 import scripts
Assuming that cost centre is the only value on line one of the file what you need to do is:
Attach an Import script to the Amount entry in your import format and put in the following code (this assumes cost centre is always the first header line and your script is called GetCostCentre)
If Not Len(RES.PvarTemp1) > 0 Then
RES.PvarTemp1 = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord,4,1,",")
End If
GetCostCentre = strField
Attach an import script to the CostCentre entry in the import format called SetCostCentre, it will have one line
SetCostCentre = RES.PvarTemp1
There is a very similar example in the FDM admin guide Scripting cahpter which has a bit more description.

Automate script for import data

automate script for importing data to the cube from txt files.
Ex: - I have below 2 files for import
aaaa.txt
bbbb.txt
For the above simply i can write esscmd or Maxl script for importing files .
Esscmd :
IMPORT 3 "\aaaa.txt" 4 "N";
IMPORT 3 "\bbbb.txt" 4 "N"
my question , suppose if some more files added to the existing files, for example cccc.txt got added ,how can i write a code for this?

Well I guess this will do
dataDir=" " # Give the data directory path here
maxlFile="maxl1.msh"
cd $dataDir
for file in `ls *` ;
do
maxlStmt="import database sample.basic data from data_file '$file' using rules_file 'xxx.rul'
on error write to 'xxx.log';";
printf $maxlStmt >> $maxlFile
done
ls * is lists all the files in the directory. If you want to be more specific and if you yhink tat your data folder may contain more files then you can use "ls *.txt" if your file extension to load is txt.
Well I haven't tested this as I am on vacation...So you can just follow the similar way.
This is only for the 3rd point which you said

Using FDM Import Action script to import data from ERPI table "tdataseg_t"

Hi Experts
I have extracted data from EBS using ERPI and loaded into the intermediate table "tdataseg_t"
I am trying to use Import Action script within FDM to extract data from "tdataseg_t" table (where ERPI extract data is stored) as i could not use the normal import script.
Requirement : I have to restrict the custom 2 dimension based on Account dimension.
Dim Account
Account = ???? ( i am struck here)
If Account = 1000 to 5000 Then
Custom2 = Right( product , 5)
End If
but , I could not find the exact syntax to call the Account dimension from the "tdataseg_t" table.
Please Advise
Thanks
Sak

Hello,
Importing data via a manual script defeats the purpose of ERPi. As it will not provide you an audit trail, drill-through/drill-back, etc.
Your best bet is to use the default settings by the software. Just because it returns more records than you want is not a bad thing. You can conditionally change/alter the information either in an EventScript inside of FDM or by mapping the un-needed information to IGNORE.
Thank you,

Is it possible to create an Apple Script to import data from a web data feed (RESTful XML/JSON)?

Before I get started looking for a programmer, does anyone know if it will be possible to create a script that will allow Numbers to connect to an external data feed in either XML or JSON? I want to enable some colleagues who use Mac to connect to the same data feed that Excel for Office connects to.. Thanks,

It is definitely not hard to import XML or JSON data via an AppleScript. As an amateur tinkerer, I found a way, for example, to bring in OFX data from my bank (OFX is a flavor of XML) using the XML parser built into System Events, which is AppleScriptable.
How satisfied your colleagues would be with the solution, though, will depend on what you mean by "connect to an external data feed." If you are dealing with datasets in the thousands of rows and need frequent and rapid response, then you may not be happy. In that kind of situation you would need to expect at least a few seconds of wait time every time you "refresh."
If, as in my case, you have only a few hundred rows and don't need to bring the data in every few seconds, then the AppleScript solution is very practical. The programmer could probably goose the performance and make the job easier by using AppleScript as a wrapper for a script in Python or another language that is faster than AppleScript at parsing XML and JSON.

Script for Importing data

Hii All
I want to run import of all the datafile s with help of script
I have many datafile s with differant users and I want to run db import
Plz Help me How to write a script .
Thanking You

GaurAVS,
I don't know what were the reaosns that made you selected this option, question did you try using any other options to move data from source to destination. Couple of questions for you?
1. One single export dump for each schema user or is it more than one file?
2. I assume from your earlier post, you got more than 50 schema users in your database?
Here is simple bash script, assuming you have one export dump file for each schema user. Make a directory call data and move all the dump file, please read script carefully for more instruction and modify according to your needs.
In addition before running this script on linux box run follwoing from command prompt
$dos2unix import.sh
#!/bin/bash
function importfile
     echo "importing $file for user $1"
     imp $1/$2 full=y file=$file log=./data/`basename $file dmp`log
     test=$?
     if [ $test -ne 0 ]
     then
            echo "Importing for user $1 failed ..."
         exit 1;
     fi
function listfile
    # you have to supply username and password here
       for file in ./data/*.dmp
       do
         echo "exporting $file for $1"
         # If you used username as filename for each export dump
          unset username
          +username=`basename $file .dmp`
          echo "Username is set to $username"
          # Now to get password for this username ; you can create a file with
          # this format username=password
          # $1 -- Username
          # $2 -- Password
          unset pw
          pw=`cat ./data/pwd.txt.txt|grep $username|cut -d'=' -f2`
          echo "Password is set to $pw"

Import data to FDM fails for planning app

Hi,
I have a problem with importing data from oracle view using FDM script.
I have to make 2 things:
1. Import data to HFM app (it works fine)
2. Import data to Planning
First of all i have configured HFM integration and set up all necessary information - it works fine (I can simply import data to import view using FDM).
In the next step I'm trying to do the same with Planning data.
I have set up connection to Essbase (I have test it setting up period table where I set manualy period table by getting values from Essbase Period and Year dimensions)
When running the import process I got message that import failed. And thats all - no more informations in logs.
I have also checked that:
Data are imported from oracle view to my repository (new table with data was created but there is a problem with "showing them" on the FDM import site.
Can any body help me with this one?
regards
Karol

Hi,
I take it you are using a Integration script to load the data from the sql respository, are you using the example script in the documentation and updating it ?
If you are using the example script make sure the line > SQLIntegration = True matches the name of the function, so if it was
Function SqlDload(strLoc, lngCatKey, dblPerKey, strWorkTableName)
then it needs to be SqlLoad = True
I have used the script to load data directly from a sql table into essbase so it does work in FDM
If you are still having trouble then let me know further information or the script you are trying to run and I might be able to spot something.
Cheers

FDM Scripting Query for last imported source file using Batch Processing

Hi Experts,
I'm currently in the processing of automating the FDM load process on our version of FDM 9.3.3 using batch processing and the FDM Task Manager. Most of the process works fine including an email alert which notifies users of when a data load has taken place.
As part of that email alert I am trying to attach the source file that has been loaded in batch processing. I have managed to get an attachment using the following FDM Script Object of:
"API.MaintenanceMgr.fPartLastFile(strLoc, True, False)".
But have noticed that using this only attaches the last "manually" imported file rather than the last file imported using the batch processing.
My question is: Is it possible for someone to steer me into the right direction of either a more appropriate API or if I have missed a step in my script.
Any help as always would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Pip

Unfortunately the batch process does not work the same way as on-line. I am assuming you are using the normal batch load and not Multiload (although the batch is simisar).
the batch file name gets recorded on the tBatchContents table, and moved to the import/batches folder under the folder for the current batch run. However, if successful the file gets deleted (and from memory does not get archived). To add the import file to the e-mail, after a successful load, i think you will need to store a copy of it prior to importing the file.

Performance issue with FDM when importing data

In the FDM Web console, a performance issue has been detected when importing data (.txt)
In less than 10 seconds the ".txt" and the ".log" files are created the INBOX folder (the ".txt" file) and in the OUTBOX\Logs (the ".log" file).
At that moment, system shows the message "Processing, please wait” during 10 minutes. Eventually the information is displayed, however if we want to see the second page, we have to wait more than 20 seconds.
It seems a performance issue when system tries to show the imported data in the web page.
It has been also noted that when a user tries to import a txt file directly clicking on the tab "Select File From Inbox", the user has to also wait other 10 minutes before the information is displayed on the web page.
Thx in advance!
Cheers
Matteo

Hi Matteo
How much data is being imported / displayed when users are interacting with the system.
There is a report that may help you to analyse this but unfortunately I cannot remember what it is called and don't have access to a system to check. I do remember that it breaks down the import process into stages showing how long it takes to process each mapping step and the overall time.
I suspect that what you are seeing is normal behaviour but that isn't to say that performance improvements are not possible.
The copying of files is the first part of the import process before FDM then starts the import so that will be quick. The processing is then the time taken to import the records, process the mapping and write to the tables. If users are clicking 'Select file from Inbox' then they are re-importing so it will take just as long as it would for you to import it, they are not just asking to retrieve previously imported data.
Hope this helps
Stuart

Table Import Data - "Insert script" - National characters

Hi all,
it looks like that there is a problem with support of national characters in imported data file when method "Insert script" is chosen.
Table -> Import Data -> Open datafile "csv".
As far as in the preview window I'm seeing properly displayed national characters from csv data file and when I'm choosing "Insert" or "SQL Loader" method - data is properly imported to the table.
But when I'm using "Insert script" method, in generated script national characters are changed into "bushes":

Import data from XML file into ICM script

Hello,
Is it possible to read data from an XML file into an ICM Admin script? If yes, using which node?
Thanks,
Justine.

Hi,
as far as i know not directy. Only Method i could think of right now is via CVP Application (Java Class, Custom Node) or IVR Script.
To import data you only have the Database Node which does only allow sources form the Database Lookup Explorer ir passing data along to/from external scripts.

Is it possible to import data into a Reader Extended PDF created in Livecycle?

Hi there,
I make a lot of Reader Extended forms for my company. When I issue form updates, sometimes staff have to re-copy or re-type records into forms with repeating subforms. I'd like to be able to jumpstart their process by importing from an old, filled-out form, into my new updated form.
I've found I can do this by making an XML data file of the data from the old form, but I can't import into an Extended from using Adobe Reader. Most of our staff don't have Acrobat, so they aren't able to save data into non-extended forms.
Is this clear, what I'm asking? Import XML data into Reader Extended form.
Thanks for any help you can give,

BUG 3.0/3.1 Import data from CSV in non english local

Hello,
I have 3.0 on a German XP (NLS Decimal "," and Group ".") but with
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
because of bug 9231534
I try to import data from a delimited file that contains the number "123,23"
When I use the Import Data Wizard it generates an insert with "12323.0". This import works, but gives me the wrong values, 12323 instead of 123,23.
I have 3.1 with german UI and try the same import.
It generates a correct insert "123.23", but on executing it fails, because it expects the german decimal separator, this is wrong for two reasons:
The generated script has a dot as decimal separator and it would not make sense to use a comma, because this is the value separator in an insert script.
To execute the script it should use the same NLS-Setting as for generating.
Regards
Marcus

Hello,
has anybody found a solution?

    ) ;Test file test_insert.dsv
num;vch
1;KL
1,5;tz
12345,45;ooImporting using the wizard inserts the first row correctly, for the others I get
SET DEFINE OFF
--EinfÃ¼gen fÃ¼r Zeilen 1 bis 3 nicht erfolgreich
--ORA-01722: invalid number
--Zeile 2
INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (NUM, VCH) VALUES (1.5,'tz');
--Zeile 3
INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (NUM, VCH) VALUES (12345.45,'oo');Beside the wrong umlaut in the message the insert statement itself is correct, because you cannot use the german decimal separator "," in the script. The bug is, that it should use the same NLS settings for generating and running the script.
