FDMEE - ignore dimension in import format

Hi,
Is it possible to ignore or exlude a defined dimension in the "Target Application" in the import format definition? I am trying to create an import format (File, Delimited) that ignores Cost Center and Product because the target plan type does not use those dimensions.

I am not an expert in FDM but my advise is that If you are ignoring it then probably you might have to load the totals of Product, CostCenter if not your numbers will be wrong

Setting POV Location to Entity Dimension in Import format

Hi All,
Is it possible to call location from POV bar as a entity while importing the data in FDQM.
For example, load data file does not has entity details. when i load data selecting sample location that time entity value should take sample as enity and when i load same kind of data to different location then that location name to be taken as entity.
is any script (data pump) to be written. if so, what script to be written.
is it strEntity = API.POVMgr.PPOVLocation
kindly advise.
Regards

Hi Raj,
Did you already check the accelerator - Point-Of-View information?
There are a lot of default script examples over there.
An exact example in this case:
F
unction ActiveLocation(strField, strRecord)
'Hyperion System 9 Financial Data Quality Management DataPump Import Script:
'Created By: M.Roest
'Date Created: 3/19/2007 14:31

End Function

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()

Import Format Audit FDM

I have a few questions around import formats as I have recently seen some new approached that I have not seen before:
Firstly are Import Formats auditable? Can the changes etc be tracked?
Secondly the formats I see are concatenating GL accounts and a few things from the GL to create a new "unique" account that is then mapped in FDM.
E.g.,
in the GL
GL Account
810000 - Revenue $10,000
GL Attribute1
BL - Blue
GL Attribute2
T1 - Dakota
FDM Import
Then creates a source GL Account of
810000BLT1
FDM mapping
810000BLT1 = TO_00001
HFM
TO_00001 $10,000
Has anyone seen this before, where effectively a new account is created from the import format ?

1. I can't make a comment on FDMEE, but what is now 'classic' FDM does not audit the import format table. However if it is a requirement, then i am sure your DBA could sort something out
2. Yes, this is quite common, but perhaps more for the other dimensions rather than the account dimension.

Multiple FDM Import Formats for One Location

I want to import trial balance data directly from the Oracle Financials database. I'm creating an import integration script to pull the ledgers directly via a SQL statement. My issue is that I also want to be able to write scripts to modify each individual field on the import, similar to a delimited import script where I can have a script for each dimension. Do you know if it's possible to combine import integration and delimited scripts in a single location? I'm guessing it may be a combination of the Import Format and Integration Options settings on the location, but I'm not sure which one should go where. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is not possible. Any adjustments to the data would need to be done within the integration script.

Skip in import format

Hi Everyone
We have a requirement our source file is CSV file ( Delimter file) in that we have below records
Account     Currency        Costcenter          Amount
1001         USD              C001                  1000
1002         INR               C002                   2000
1003         EUR             C003                   3000
From the above data we want only USD data records to be imported in FDM .like this
1001     C001       1000
In import format i have used skip and i have written import script for Skip like this
Dim strAccount
'Store first value of account
strAccount = strField
'Check to see if value is empty
If strAccount = "INR","EUR' Then
'Skip Line
Res.PblnSkip=True
Else
AccountEmptySkip=strAccount
End if
End Function
When i am importing its importing all the records . its not skipping INR and EUR records
Can anyone help me in resolving this

Thanks for the quick reply SH
We don't have currency dimension Filed in the import format. below are examples of our source file and import format
Currency column is in source file , but it will not be in import format

After your reply i have corrected my script and written below script
Dim strSkip
strSkip = strField
If strSkip = "INR" OR strAccount = "EUR' Then
SelectCADLines=strSkip
Else
Res.PblnSkip=True
End if
now also its importing all the records it not skipping INR AND USD records data
Can you please explain me now how to resolve this issue

Skip a member in import format

Hi All,
I'm creating an import format for a location to load a csv file.
In that I need to skip an entity(actually 20+ entities) related data while importing.
But "SKIP" is not working here.
FIELD NAME FIELD NUMBER NUMBER OF FIELDS EXPRESSION
Skip 3 4 2219
Above combination is not working while import. All record with 2219 got loaded and failing at validation.
Is "SKIP" mentioned for the same purpose?
Is there any possiblity to skip a particular combination member as well using SKIP? (EX:- abcdxx1234, ijklxx5678 - member contains xx should be skipped)
Target is Planning Application, Adapter ES 11x-G4-H
Facing one more issue.
This is first time i'm using essbase adapter.
When I try to import map, import completed successful from excel. But no map got updated.
Map not getting updated even with a single member.
Thanks in advance.

Those entities should be skipped as long as the value 2219 is found in Field3 so it must not be matching 2219 against any values in that field. Are you sure there are no whitespace characters in the source field? Another option would be to map the Entity 2219 (and other entities you are not interested in to a target of IGNORE in youe Entity mapping. You can Skip based on a particular combination but this would require an import script to define the more complex criteria and execute the skip.
In terms of your mapping import issue are you sure that the Location ID specified in your Excel mapping template actually corresponds to the Location ypou are trying to import the maps to?

Import format for trial balance sheet

Hi All,
The source file for our FDQM app is in the below format(CSV file) consisting of 7 fields:
ENTITY ACCOUNT DESCRIPTION Opening Balance DEBIT CREDIT Closing Balance
Can you please provide inputs on how the import format should be?

The information you need to start with is in the FDQM admin guide, or alternatively consider an FDQM training course.
Without knowing the dimensions you plan to use, how the file contents map to each dimension, and to a lesser degree the target application, then we would need a crystal ball to try to provide any assistance on the import format.

Import Format script required to work across multiple fields

I am currently constructing an Import Format, and using datapump import scripts on several of the fields to implement specific logic based on the values present. For example:
Function TBNetwork(strField, strRecord)
If Left(strField, 1) = "N" Then
TBNetwork = strField
Else
TBNetwork = "Network N/A"
End If
End Function
However, I need this to also evaluate the values across other fields too, but the default two inputs for the function are strField and strRecord.
How can I achieve this? Can I declare new variables and define as follows?
Dim strCustomer = varValues(23)
Or do I need to look at implementing a different type of script? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

strRecord represents the entire data line from your source file that is currently being processed. You can parse this to get any of the values from your data line to use/evaluate in your script. There is an accelarator script DW.Utilities.fParseString which will do the string parsing for you. As you probably know strField only returns the field from the data file that you have specified in your import format for the associated dimension.

ERPI : Unable to create mappings in Import Format / pull metadata into ERPI.

Hi All,
I am strugling to set up metadata rules in ERPI. I am unable to set up Import Formats as i can not see the source segments.
This is 11.1.2.1 System.
--registered the source system with EBS system details, and able to initialize successfully.
--registered Target system ( EPMA planning application) successfully,here i am able to view Target dimension Names, Data Table column Names, Target Dimesnion Class in 'Diemnsion details' tab
-- Could retrieve Source Acconting Entity with it's details
--Created Import Format with with Accounting Entity , Source system, Target system names.
But in the Mappings area,( Data Load Mapping Tab) , Source Segment fileds are not populated with source segments.Instead all the drop down boxes are empty ( few fields are even disabled) . I think, due to this, when i try to create Metadata rules, in Metadata section, the Dimesnion drop down list shows empty.
Any one has exact idea on where i am missing ?

Hi Jeff,
I have clicked 'Refresh Metadata' button which is there on 'Target Applciation' section.But still Source segments f drop down lists in 'Data Load Mappings' tab of 'Import Format' section are empty and even few fileds are disabled.

FDM - Import Format (Fixed Column Type - No Delimiter)

Hello,
Question on FDM. I've built an import format and successfully imported a Fixed Column type text file. Everything imports beautifully. FYI - The format of the file looks just like a Trial Balance with a column for Debits and one column for Credits. In the import format setup, I am using the DrCrSplit script. Weird thing here is that I noticed it just ignored any of the rows where the balance was over 1 million (but brought everything else in perfectly). I've played with the Start and Length fields to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
James

Good day,
You can add a script as the last item to you amount import format, this will dump the values to a text file which may give you some idea of the issue. Open you file in a hex editor, there may be non printing characters.
Thanks
Function dumpamt(strField, strRecord)
'Declare Local Variables
Dim objFSAppend
Dim objFAppend
Dim strFileAppend
Dim blnCreate
'Initialize the file path
strFileAppend = "\\networkdirectoy\YourFileName.txt"
blnCreate = True
'Open the file system object and create the file
Set objFSAppend = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFAppend = objFSAppend.OpenTextFile(strFileAppend, 8, blnCreate)
'Append Data to File
objFAppend.WriteLine(strField)
'Close the objects
objFAppend.Close
Set objFAppend = Nothing
Set objFSAppend = Nothing
dumpamt = strField
End Function

FDM Import Format - field name list population

I am working with an Import Format definition. How can I control the list of possible names that are displayed in the Field Name drop down list box? The lists currently displayed are different from Import Format Group to Import Format Group.
Thank you.
Gary

The selections are controlled by the dimensions of the adaptor assigned to the location using the adaptor. The drop down list names are controlled by the dimension alias.

Amount from 2 different columns. import format?

Hi all,
Im trying to import amounts from 2 different columns. If accounts are "123" or "234" or...etc
Then pull from column
else use column 9
can this be done in one import script? I want to know if I can assign import format amount to column 5 but only get the accounts asked for. else use column 9.
thanks

I made something like this, and assigned it to an amount column with all the amounts. Does it make sense?
Function This_Code (strField, strRecord)
Dim Account
Dim Ammount
'Field instead of strRecord
account = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strField, 12, 5, ",")
Amount = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strField, 12, 11, ",")
If Account = "123" or Account = "456" Then
Amount = This_Code
End If
