How to get the Admin Task to Process Members from Member Sheet?

Hey guys!
I've been successful getting the Custom SSIS Admin Task to process a Dimension using a SQL staging table.  However, we have a few dimensions that are best managed in the Excel Member sheets.  When we have changes to these member sheets, is it possible to process the dimension using the SSIS Admin Task.  If so, how do I go about doing this?  What settings do I need to use within the task?
I've tried using the "Scheduled Members Process" option (I honestly don't even know what this option does and I've found no documentation), but when this option is selected the task simply fails without any messages.  And I've tried putting the path directly to the Member Spreadsheet in the "SQL Source Table" box.  Using this method, the package returns a successful status code, but it's not really processing anyway.  It finishes in less than 2 seconds. 
Thanks much!

I don't understand why you want to do this -- if you're maintaining some dimensions manually in the XLS member sheet, then you should process the changes manually too, using the Admin Console. No DTS is required, and you also get the benefits of validation & error messages right away.
Having said that, if you feel it's necessary, you could set up a DTS package which uses the XLS member sheet, via an Excel connection manager, as a data source which is loaded into your custom dimension staging table. Then this staging table is the source of the admin dimension processing task.
Beware, though, that this means every time you add or modify dimension properties, you will need to update the columns in both the Excel connection manager and the staging table. I've always found this to be a very frustratingly manual process in BI Dev Studio, to get the data fields to properly refresh. I usually end up deleting the source & destination data flow objects, just to get the new fields to show up. (Maybe there's a better way, but I haven't found it.)
I always consider the dimension-processing decision on automation to be all or nothing for each dimension. If you're maintaining the dimension manually in the member sheet, use the admin console to process it.

  • SSIS Pkg to Process Members from Member Sheet

    BPC 5
    Is there a way to process dimensions with Data Manager which mimics the Process members from member sheet option available in the Admin console? I have tried the provided Admin_Makedim package but it will not run without supplying a table name. According to the documentation, I thought that if a table wasn't provided, it would use the member sheet. However, I think the documentation is outdated.
    I realize that I can create tasks to clear the mbr table and then load the data to there as I am doing that with some dimensions where I get flat files from BI. However, there are other dimensions where we want our users to maintain in Excel outside of BPC. I simply want to replace the membersheets in the adminapp directory and then process those dimensions.
    Thanks,
    --Brent

    Ok, I guess I will do that like I have done with our other dimensions. Unfortunately, that means creating connection managers and mapping the fields for 17 more dimensions. It is suprising that there isn't a task for processing a dimension from a member sheet when that is the way it is done with the admin tool.
    Thanks,

  • HOW TO GET THE SELECTED VALUE IN A ROW FROM ONE VIEW TO ANOTHER VIEW?

    hi all,
    I  have a small issue.
    i have created two views.In the table of the first view i'm selecting a row and pressing the button it will move to next view.
    i am adding some fields manually in the table of the second view and pressing the save button.Here all the values should get updated corresponding to the field which i have selected in the first view.
    I want to know how to get the particular field in the selected row from one view to another view.
    Kindly help me.

    Hi,
            Any data sharing accross views can be achiveved by defining CONTEXT data in COMPONENT CONTROLLER and mapping it to the CONTEXT of all the views. Follow the below steps.
    1. Define a CONTEXT NODE in component controller
    2. Define same CONTEXT NODE in all the views where this has to be accessed & changed.
    3. Go to CONTEXT NODE of each view, right click on the node and choose DEFINE MAPPING.
    This is how you map CONTEXT NODE and same can be accessed/changed from any VIEW or even from COMPONENT CONTROLLER. Any change happens at one VIEW will be automatically available in others.
    Check the below link for more info regarding same.

    # and save in the resource form
    tcFormInstanceOperationsIntf tcform = (tcFormInstanceOperationsIntf)tcUtilityFactory.getUtility(dataProvider,"Thor.API.Operations.tcFormInstanceOperationsIntf");
    tcform.setProcessFormData(Long.parseLong(formKey), myMap);
    But this solution implies know the name of the field in the database and not is a global solution.
    I am interesting in know how I can obtain the name of the

  • How to get the response of a vbscript ran from extended js?

    Hi All,
    I  want to get the result from a vbscript, how to get that in my jsx? This is what I'm doing-
    vbscript (this will return me something, i've added just a sample string)
    Wscript.Echo "Like this?"
    jsx
    var a = File("C:\\Users\\Sahil\\AppData\\Roaming\\CreativeWorx\\1.vbs");
    var b=a.execute();
    Now, variable b returns me true/false; and the output i.e. "Like this?"  is alerted! So my question is-
    1. How to get the output in a variable?
    2. How to avoid the alert
    So, I simply wish to get the output from my vbscript and then perform certain functions accordingly, alos, I dont want  this to be alerted!
    Any help will be highly appreciated!

    The capitalization is app.doScript and not app.doscript that is if you are trying to get a jsx script to run and access a string from from a vbs script.
    When defining the VBscript for multiline scripts the easiest method is to use triple quotes
    VBscript = """dim WMI:  set WMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
    dim Nads: set Nads = WMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter where physicaladapter=true")
    dim nad
    for each Nad in Nads
        if not isnull(Nad.MACAddress) then Wscript.Echo Nad.description, Nad.MACAddress  
    next"""
    when using the scriptArgs you can either make a loop of them and send the string value of each one something like this
    For (n = 0 .........
    myArg = "myArg" & n
    myStringToPassOver = "Shaddow Fax " & n
    app.scriptArgs.SetValue myArg, myStringToPassOver
    Next
    or probably better to make a long comma or something else separated string and pass it over after the loop
    var VBScript = """myArg = ""
    For n = 0 To 15
    myArg = myArg & "Shaddow Fax " & n & ","
    Next
    app.scriptArgs.SetValue "myResult", myArg
    app.doScript(VBScript, ScriptLanguage.visualBasic);
    var myResult = app.scriptArgs.getValue("myResult").replace(/\,$/,"").split(",");
    // if neaded use "replace" to remove final "," and "split" to convert into an array
    alert(myResult.join("\r")); // alert the array
    The above script is a jsx script that runs a vbs
    If you want a vbs script to run and access a string from from a jsx script then you would use xxx.DoScript see the sample from the manual below.
    Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application")
    myJavaScript = "alert(""First argument: "" + arguments[0] + ""\rSecond argument: "" +
    arguments[1]);"
    myInDesign.DoScript myJavaScript, idScriptLanguage.idJavascript, Array("Hello from
    DoScript", "Your message here.")
    myVBScript = "msgbox arguments(1), vbOKOnly, ""First argument: "" & arguments(0)"
    myInDesign.DoScript myVBScript, idScriptLanguage.idVisualBasic, Array("Hello from
    DoScript", "Your message here.")
    P.s.Please mark the question as answered, thanks

    Naveen,
        Are yo having issue when you save something in the layout, the data doesn't appear in the listcube ? Or do you have issue that the latest data you see in the cube doesn't appear in the layout ?
    For the former issue, please look at your selections of listcube and for the second issue, please check your planning level definition, make sure all the restrictions you have applied are valid for this latest data to be presented in the layout.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to get the number of issued active certifcates from a CA

    Hi,
    We have a PKI infrastructure still running on Windows Server 2003. How can I get the number of active certificates issued?  I have used the filter option on the issued certifcates node listing the certificates with expiry date after the current

    It will dump CA database look for issued distinguished name (name in the subject of the certificate) and outputs only certificates expiring after 22.1.2013. The output is piped to findstr command that filters the total number of rows.
    There are a couple of problems with the above:
    1. Not every certificate will have a Subject name.
    2. This won't filter out certificates that have been revoked but are still
    time valid.
    3. I couldn't get the "findstr Rows" to return anything and when I look at
    the help for findstr I don't see that as an option for the command.
    This command worked for me, make sure you enter it all on a single line:
    certutil -view -restrict "Disposition=20,NotBefore<January 22 2013" -out
    SerialNumber | findstr /C:"Serial Number:" | findstr /r /n "^" | find /c :"
    Also, if you copy and paste from this post into the cmd window, be careful
    that the quotes and dashes don't get converted into the wrong type.
