How to load dimensions and members in Planning application

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to load dimensions and members in planning. I know that loading dimension is not recommended through Essbase but I wanted to give it a try. I tried to load the dimensions through rule files but it threw an error that the "members do not exist in database." Is that an indication that data cant be loaded at all in planning application through Essbase.
Thanks is advance for all the replies !!

If this is a planning application, you need to load metadata/dimension to planning first. You cannot load metadata directly to Essbase as it will be overwritten when you refresh planning.
You should read documentation to understanding how planning works. Planning is an interface which sits on top on Essbase. However, Planning metadata is stored in database tables and it is synch'd with Essbase through Hyperion Planning refresh.
In order to load metadata to planning, I would suggest to log on to planning and try to build dimensions manually first to know how planning interacts with Essbase. You could load metadata into planning through:
1. Manually
2. ODI: You will need to reverse planning application and then use it to load metadata
3. Outline load utility on planning server.
Remember, all Planning maintenance is done through planning interface and not through Essbase.

Thank you for your reply.
With your help, I can verify it easier rather than creating dataform to verify it.
I have resolved the question now, the root cause is I had used the wrong parameter, shouldn't add '/N' in the command. for /N is a dry run to check whether there are error in CSV file, it won't perform metadata load.
If no error occured, run the command without /N, then the metadata load will be performed.
I refer to this artical,

For each user, we should take its Portal username and password for one specific external application. How to do that ?

How to get userId and ResponsibilityId of EBS Application

Hi all,
We are using oracle.apps.fnd package to get the userId and ResponsibilityId of EBS Application. By using this api we are getting -1 for both userId and resposibilityId, but want the corrrect values for these two Ids.
Can anyone please tell us how to get userId and ResponsibilityId of EBS Application using oracle.apps.fnd package?
Thanks,
Eswari

Hi Kumar,
Thanks for your answer. I tried using pageContext, but it didn't work.
I forgot to mention the version of EBS Application. We are using 12i.
To use FND_GLOBAL package first we should initialise by passing userId and respId which we want. Can we get these details from this api oracle.apps.fnd of 12i Instance.
Thanks,

How can we delete a dimension from the classic planning applications

Hi Friends,
I am trying to delete a dimension from the planning classic application but i am unable to find out the delete option to delete a dimension. I created the dimension from the Administration -->dimensions --> Add dimension.
If we want to delete a dimension how we can delete that dimension, I heard meta data is stored in the RDBMS so that why if we want delete dimension we need to delete in RDBMS so please tell me the location in RDBMS to delete dimension. i am using sql is RDBMS.
Thanks in advance......

As John mentioned, it is not supported and advisiable to delete a dimension from Planning application. but yes you can take a chance with some risk if you need to do so.. this opertaion is tested in 9.2 but i never tried in EPM V11.
You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
BE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR APPLICATION BEFOREATTEMPTING THIS PROCEDURE.
You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
If you have the dimension in forms, you may also need to (after step 5) go into the hsp_formobj_def_mbr table and delete all references of that object ID. Then delete the dim id in thehsp_form_layout table. Recycle services of Planning.
Procedure: If you create a custom dimension in planning and wish to delete it, here is how you might remove it from SQL manually.
it is recommended that only someone familiar with relational databases attempt this.The following assumptions are being made about the dimension: No forms have any references to thedimension. Any and all attribute dimensions have been removed from the dimension. Any and all members have been removed from the dimension. All security access has been removed from dimension. Any Alias associated with the dimension has been removed.
1. Open the Enterprise Manager for SQL server
2. Open the database that has your planning application
3. Open the table HSP_OBJECT
4. You need to find the row that has the dimension name you want to delete:
5. Take note of the OBJECT_ID in my example it is50051, don't delete it yet.
6. Open the table HSP_MEMBER
7. Find and delete any rows that have a MEMBER_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
8. Close the Table HSP_MEMBER
9. Open the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
10. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
11. Close the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
12. Open the table HSP_DIMENSION
13. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
14. Close the table HSP_DIMENSION
15. Also delete it's reference from the HSP_UNIQUE_NAMES table.
16. Delete the row in the HSP_OBJECT table that you found in step 4.
17. Close the HSP_OBJECT table.
18. Open Essbase Application Manager for the application and remove the dimension from the necessary Essbase outlines
19. Restart the application server.
good luck!!!

How to load BeginningBalance and movements into HFM via FDM from ERPI

I have a file generated by ERPI with the columns of |AMOUNT|BEGIN_BALANCE_DR|BEGIN_BALANCE_CR|PERIOD_NET_DR|PERIOD_NET_CR|
among many other columns.
How can load them via FDM into the Custom1 dimension in HFM, which contains BeginningBalance, Additions, Disposals, etc.
So basically I will have a trial balance, which I can compare with GL and OBI.

How to clear dimension from members?

I have a question:
How can I clear dimension from members after maintain of it?

Open the OLAP Worksheet from Analytic Workspace Manager and just issue the command from previous post:
maintain your_dimension_name delete all
you also need to update and comit the changes
update
commit
that's it, the dimension is totally clear.
Or you can export dimension to XML template, delete the dimension and then reimport it from the template.

Load dimensions' elements in Hyperion Planning 3.5

Hy all,
i have a big problem: i have to load a lot (almost two hundred) of elements in account and entity dimension. Of sure you will understand that it is impossible to manually insert every single element. do you have any idea of as is possible to do it? Planning release is the 3.5.
Tnx
Antonio

Antonio,
You will probably need to install and configure HAL (Hyperion Application Link). This is the ETL tool used for bulk dimension imports.

Loading dimensions and facts (Please verify the design is correct)

Hi,
I am very new to OWB and Datawarehousing, please find the following approach and let me know if its correct or not.
I have the following source tables,
1. Sales -->store_id,Product_id,Sales_date_Time,Unit_sales,Amount_sales
2. Product--> Product_id,Product_name,Product_category_id
3. Product_Category --> pc_id , pc_name
4. Stores -->store_id,store_name,city_id
5 City --> city_id , state
The above tables are normalized,
Now i have created Dimensions , and Fact (Please check whether its correct or not)
1 . Product_Dimension ->Product_key, product_id,product_name,pc_id,pc_name
2. Time_Dimension --> Time_key, ...Can be loaded from the Excel sheet provided (This is what people do here in my company)
3. Stores_Dimension --> Store_key,store_id,store_name,city_id,state
4. Sales_fact -->Product_key,time_key,store_key,Unit_sales,Amount_sales,sales_date
If the above design is correct, then i will create the following mappings
1. Map_Product --> loading product and product_Category from source
2. Map_Time --> loading thru SQLLDR directly
3. Map_Stores --> loading stores and city from source
Once the above mappings completed ( loading all the dimensions)
map_sales_fact --> loading from map_product, map_time, map_stores...
But if here if you closely observe Sales_Fact table, it has columns like unit_sales,amount_sales and sales_date. How do i load these as i dont have them in any dimensions,
Please help , please reply me if you need any clarifications.
Regards,
Ashoka BL

Hi,
first of all, there is no need for the column sales_date in your fact table. Use the time_id for date reference.
In your dimensions, use surrogate keys that are generated in your dwh. Do not use ids from your source as surrogate keys!
You may use the ids from the source as business keys, if the names are not unique.
Load your fact table from source table sales. Join all dimensions to get the surrogate keys of product, store and time.
Write the surrogate dim keys into the fact table along with unit_sales and amount_sales.
Regards,
Carsten.

Deleting members from Planning application

Hi everyone,
I need to delete about 600 members from a planning application. I dont want to clean up the load file and do the reaload once again. Is there a way I can delete load a file with just 600 members and they get deleted from the outline?

Thanks John for sharing your opinion. One of the senior consultants helped me out with this. The solution was fairly simple -
All the 600 members were children of different parents. So it was difficult to cherry-pick all of them. What we did is, we created a load file with 600 members (to be deleted from outline). We put those 600 members under one parent; somewhat like this
TempParent    member1*
TempParent    member2*
+.+
+.+
TempParent    member600*
Once I loaded this file to through load utility, it grabbed all those 600 members from their previous positions and placed them under TempParent*. Then I deleted TempParent.
Although I would like to know more about the solution you suggested. Is there an example on web that you can refer me to ??
