How to choose member position during ERPi metadata load ?

Dear All ,
We are using ERPi to load data and metadata from EBS to our target Hyperion Planning Application .
during metadata load , members set to be at the root of the dimension .
My question , How to choose where the extracted members to be placed at certain position at EPMA Hierarchy

What you would do is set up your load rule as a dim build too. First pass you would load the data file as a dim build adding unknown members to a default parent like "Unknown Members". Then second pass, load the file again as data load and all members will exist for load to complete successfully.

Duplicate alias during ERPi metadata load

Hello All,
I am trying to load metadata to Hyperion Planning using ERPi from EBS GL. However, many of our descriptions may be same across accounts or other dimensions. In Planning, we generally combine member name plus description to create a unique alias. How can I combine account name and account description to load to load as alias in Hyperion Planning? I am on v11.1.2.2
TIA

Scheduling ERPI metadata load rule

Hi,
I have an ERPI metadata load rule that I have to schedule. Are there ERPI APIs available for this? Is there a way to schedule the metadata loads?
Thanks.

This stands out to me
"Plan Type (FINANCE)] which has no corresponding column on the planning side."
If there definitely a plan type called FINANCE in application Main on vm-hypplantst0

How to Import Member Aliases during Dimension build.

HI All ,
I have to build dimensions in Essbase using load rule files. I can create dimensions and its respected members.
But problem is that i also want to assign aliases with member names in Essbase hierarchy.
so How i can assign aliases (In source .csv file) also along with dimension members to update aliases in hierarchy of Essbase.
your suggestions are very precious for me .
Thank you.

Hi,
in the source file itself you can have a column for Alias names.
You can use any build type either genref or levref or parent-child.
the below DBAG link will guide you for adding alias names using Rules file.

ERPI Metadata load fails

Hi,
1. I am trying to load metadata to classic essbase application from peoplesoft using ERPI. The process fails with the below error.
ERPI Process Start, Process ID: 19
ERPI Logging Level: DEBUG (5)
ERPI Log File: C:\Windows\TEMP\/aif_19.log
Jython Version: 2.1
Java Platform: java1.4.2_08
COMM Dimension Pre-Processing - Multi Process Validation - START
COMM Dimension Pre-Processing - Multi Process Validation - END
Error in Start PS Load Dimension Members
java.lang.Exception: The scenario did not end properly.
When looked at ODI, the error is as below.
java.sql.SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00001: unique constraint (TST_ERP.AIF_DIM_MEMBERS_STG_U1) violated
2. Chartfields in Peoplesoft does not have the hierarchy structure of parent child relationship. How will ERPi build the hierarchy in Hyperion if the chartfield do not contain the hierarchy structure.
Regards,
Ragav.

Jeff,
Thanks for response. I had opened an SR with oracle for this. It was a bug and the resolution is below. After this change, the process succeeds. However the metadata does not flow inside Hyperion Essbase application. Load method is classic. Do I need to configure any adapters for ERPI to work with Essbase?
SYMPTOMS
Issue Clarification
When running a metadata rule within ERPi for a PeopleSoft Source System the metadata rule fails. The ODI Operator shows that the "PS_GL_LOAD_DIMENSION_MEMBERS" process is failing at step 20 PS Extract Dimension Members.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00001: unique constraint (ERPINTEGRATOR.AIF_DIM_MEMBERS_STG_U1) violated
CAUSE
This caused a unique constraint exception as there were multiple records with the same "NAME" but with different EFFDT values in the AIF_PS_CF_METADATA table.
SOLUTION
Until the fix is included in the next service pack, the following update
statement can be run *after* every execution of the Initialize Source System
process on a PSFT source system:
UPDATE AIF_PS_CF_METADATA
SET EFFDT_FLAG = 'Y'
WHERE SOURCE_SYSTEM_ID = ?
AND EFFDT_FLAG = 'N'
AND (
(FIELDNAME = 'AFFILIATE_INTRA1' AND RECNAME = 'AFFINTRA1_VW')
OR (FIELDNAME = 'AFFILIATE_INTRA2' AND RECNAME = 'AFFINTRA2_VW')

Metadata load using ERPi

Hi All,
I am new to ERPi, Our client is willing to implement ERPi Metadata load. The source is People soft 9.1 and the target Hyperion EPMA planning 11.1.2.2.300.20.
My source COA tree structure is different with my target Hyperion COA structure, can we implement metadata load using ERPi, if so how can we do it?.
and what are the considerations to be taken care in the metadata load.
Any thoughts on these would really appreciate your response. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Vishy

The response from support is correct.

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.
Show Details:
Error Reference Number: {F187C156-ABDA-40DD-A687-B471F35535E3};User Name: mpus54965@gsd1w105c

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,

How to outline selected cells during drag and drop in the jtable

Hi,
I have spent a lot of time to find out how to outline selected cells during drag in the jtable, but I did not find the answer.
Can anybody give me a tip, where to read more about this problem or even better, give an example...
I have the following situation:
1.Table has 10 rows and 10 columns
2.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION) and setCellSelectionEnabled(true)
3.user select 5 cells in 4th row (for example cell45,cell46,cell47,cell48 and cell49)
4.user starts dragging. During dragging an outline should be drawn. Outline should be a rectangular with width of 5 cells and height of one cell. Outline should move according to the mouse position.
5.rectangular disappears when dropped

Primoz

In "createTransferable" you can create a drag image
which you can paint in "dragOver" and clear in "drop" method of DropTarget :

Relationship between ERPi metadata rules and Data load rules

I am using version 11.1.1.3 to load EBS data to ERPi and then to FDM. I have created a Metadata rule where I have assigned a ledger from the Source Accounting Entities. I have also created a Data Load rule that references the same ledger as the metadata rule. I have about 50 ledgers that I have to integrate so I have added the source adapters that reference the Data Load rule.
My question is... What is the relation between the Meatdata rule and the Data load rule with the ledger? If you can specify only one Ledger per metadata rule, then how does FDM know to use another metadata rule with another ledger attached to it? Thanks!!!

1 How freequently this activation problem occurs. If it is one time replicate the datasource and activate thetransfer structure( But in general as you know activation of transfer structure should be done automatically after transport of the object)
2 One thing for difference of time is environmental as you know in production system so many jobs will run at the same time so obiously system performance will be slow compare to Dev System. In your case both the systems are performing equally. You said in dev system for 50000 records half an hour and in production 200000 records 2hrs so records are more in Production system and it took longer time. If it is really causing problem then you have to do some performance activities.
Hope this helps

Get mouse position during Custom UI Draw event?

I am building a Custom UI for one of my plugin effect.
I want to get the mouse position during the Custom UI Draw event (PF_Event_DRAW), but cannot manage to get it.
From what I understand, it seems we can only get the mouse position during the events PF_Event_DRAG, PF_Event_DO_CLICK, and PF_Event_ADJUST_CURSOR.
I tried to use PFAppSuite4::PF_GetMouse() too, but this resulted in the error message "After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {PF_GetMouse can only be called during valid events.}".
Therefore I want to store the mouse position during PF_Event_ADJUST_CURSOR, and use it later during PF_Event_DRAW.
Where can I store those values in a "clean" way (ensuring there will not be conflicts if two instances of the same effect are running, etc)?
Or is there an easier method to get the mouse position during a Custom UI Draw event?

//SequenceDataVars is the name of your data structure
//this is how you create the sequence data
out_data->sequence_data = PF_NEW_HANDLE(sizeof(SequenceDataVars));
SequenceDataVars *seqData =
(SequenceDataVars*)PF_LOCK_HANDLE(out_data->sequence_data);
//and now you can store stuff in it.
seqData->var1 = 7;
//after it's created, on other calls, you just do a simple cast
SequenceDataVars *seqData = *(SequenceDataVars **)out_data->sequence_data;
seqData->var1 = 100;
//this is how you delete it. (if you don't delete it, it will be saved with
the project, and loaded on the next session. (if you want)
PF_DISPOSE_HANDLE(out_data->sequence_data);
there's more to know, so look up SequenceSetup, SequenceSetdown, ect in the
sample project.

FDM Metadata Load Method in ERPI

Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right documentation for how the FDM metadata load rule in ERPI works? I've read through the ERPI admin guide which gives the basics but I want to know more detailed information. If we have this method selected for our source Ebusiness system, do we still need to run the metadata rule everytime we need to run a data load into Planning ?
Thanks

You do not need to execute the metadata rule each time you do a load to PLanning. The Metadata Load Rule is used to load metadata from EBS into the target environment. What specifically are you looking for?

How to choose an iPhoto Library to sync in iTunes?

I have 3 iPhoto Library in my Mac. I want to sync my iPhone with one of them, but I don't know how to choose in iTunes the right Library.
In this moment I have one selected, but it's not the one I want.
Can anyone help me?
thanks

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify the one you want to sync. iTunes will only sync the iPhone with the iPhoto library set as the default in iPhoto.
