Hyperion DIM (Data integn mgmt/Informatica) - Create Workflow to copy files

Hello,
I understand this is an ODI forum but I could not find a Oracle Hyperion DIM forum and so I thought some of you might know DIM. This should be easy for those who have Informatica experience.
So we are using WinSCP for copying files from one folder to the other.
Those who do not know what WINSCP is - it is a simple to tool used to conduct secure file transfer b/w local and remote desktop.
We are doing this file copy from one folder to the other on a repeat basis and we would like to automate the workflow using DIM.
Well, the task is that I basically log on to WinSCP by providing a hostname, username and password and from a specific folder I have to pick up a file and drop it into a different folder.
I need to create a workflow to do this so that it may be automated. Can anybody suggest ideas on which tasks I may use within DIM and the general approach? This would be great help. Thanks.

Could you please provide some pointers about how to perform this? I couldn't find much on the web about this right now.
Much appreciated

Help with Automator - create workflow to move files to dated folders

If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have no idea how to use Automator, but I think it'd be perfect for this job.
I want to take a folder of files (images) and move them to separate folders which are named for the dates that the files were created on. So, for instance, I have a folder of ten images. Five were created on November 1st and the other five were created on November 2nd. I want to create two folders on the desktop with the dates in the name (like 20071101 & 20071102) and take the five images from 11/1 and move them to the 20071101 folder and the five images from 11/2 and move them to the 20071102 folder (sorry for the run-on sentence).
Is this possible with Automator? Is this an easy thing to do?
Thanks,
Antonio

I'm trying to do something very similar. I need to open an image sequence in QuickTime and export them to a mov file. Easy enough, but I would also like to create a new Finder folder and name it with today's date and save the mov file to that new folder.
What frustrates me is that it doesn't appear you can name Finder folders in any way other than using the Rename Folder action. I was hoping to use today's date that I had copied to the clipboard. Also, I have no experience using AppleScript, so hoping to avoid anything advanced there.

Create folder and copy files problem

Hello all indesign script Members
where I work we use a permanent folder structure for an example
a jobnumber called "123123"
I have wrote a little interface called interface.jsx, this file is saved and located in
123123/scripts/interface
I want my interface to navigate two folders up
to 123123/source/ creates a folder called "hej" so result is "123123/source/hej"
then I can pick from a little dialog box the folder 123123/source/a/ copy all .indd files to the folder hej (or any other folder I choose from the dialog box)
I want the script to know the active path instead of whole locations because, we have different project numbers all the time.
then run an extern script called hej.jsx
the best should be also if the script could chose 123123 as default jobnumber too.
Please could someone help me to script this?
/get started I am very newbie
Thank you so much in advance

Hi tjacobs01,
Thanks for reply. I didnt include main method since i dont want to make the problem looks too complicated. I called both of the methods in main. The following is the simplified class code including main method.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class TestClass{
public void buildFolder(){
File f=new File("/documents/hospital_backup");
if(f.exists()==false){
f.mkdirs();
public void copyFile(String file){
String form_cmd="cp /job_holding/hospital/" + file + " /documents/hospital_backup/"+file;
String[] command = new String[]{"sh", "-c", form_cmd};
try{
Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p =r.exec(command);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);}
int exitVal=p.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exitValue:"+exitVal);
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String dir_root="/job_holding/hospital/";
File f=new File(dir_root);
File[] fList = f.listFiles();
for (int i=0; i<fList.length; i++)
String file=dir_root+fList.getName();
TestClass test = new TestClass();
test.buildFolder();
test.CopyFile(file);

SSM 7.0 - Copy SAP BI data into PAS or Create Dim. Model viewing BI Data

I am using SSM 7.0 with SAP BI. Is there some best practice / direction / comments on making a decision between:
#1 - Duplicate SAP BI data into PAS Dimensional Model
- Create an InfoCube in SAP BI
- Create the model connection required by BI Connection
- Copy the required SAP BW/BI InfoCube information into a PAS Model using the BI Connector
- Create KPIs based on this model connection
or
#2 - Make SAP BI data visible in PAS Dimensional Model (no data stored in PAS)
- Create an InfoCube in SAP BI
- Create a Dimensional Model based on this InfoCube using a Link ID and the SCHEMA commands
- Create a model connection to make data in InfoCube available in SSM
- Create KPIs based on this model connection
My thinking is that if the volume of data is low then not actually having to go to the trouble of duplicating the data in SSM would work well - with the benefit that the information is updated as soon as the SAP BI InfoCube is updated.
(At the moment I have tried #2 but so far not failed to create an KPIs - I am wondering if the Key Figures in the InfoCube need to use a particular naming standard)

Hi Mark,
See the link below for a Best practice document that is available here in SDN. Although you can use queries that already exist in BW, it is usually better to create new queries adjusted to the kind of information you want to provide in SM. There are a few rules you need to follow when creating such queries, but there is actually no naming convention for its Key-Figures.

Hope this helps!

Pass the data from a form in workflow to z table

Hi all,
How can I pass the data from a form in workflow to z table?

Thanks for your answer, I tried the solution 2, I create "Submit" button, and ser the mapping scope to be "All data rows", it only works when I select at least one row, otherwise the data would not be passed.
Another question is I have serveral imported table parameter, for each table I have one "submit" event, I want these tables to be submitted at the same time, but if I click the submit button in one table toolbar, I can only submit the table data which has a submit button clicked, for other tables, the data is not passed, how can I achieve it?
Thanks.

Data Extraction from Informatica

Hi BI Gurus,
I want to extract the data from SQL server through informatica. I went through SDN, but I am not able to found relevant information. Please share the steps (methods) or links or documents about data extraction from informatica.
Regards,
PRK

Hi,
Use UD connect procedure to extract the data from Informatica or SQL server. you just need to create a new source system with the parrameters that can connect and read the SQL sever.
There is another way of extracting it through DB connect as well, but I recommend you to go through the UD connect procedure to extract the data.
Check with your basis team to setup a source system for SQL server if you are not aware of how to as it is purely based on TCP/IP.
you need to create a source system as trird pary and supply the parrameters to it. Create a TCP/IP connection in SM59 to that source system where it need por numbers, schemas, alias etc to connect to the SQL server.
Browse for UD connect in WIKI, will guide you good docs.

Creating folders based on file creation date

Hi,
I have a folder full of images and I am looking for an Automator workflow/app/script that can look at the files sequentially, read the creation date and then create folder name based on the file creation date (Year-Day-Month). Then move the file to the respective folder.
Appreciate any input you can provide.
Regards
Tom Erik

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_file in (get files of window 1)
set the_date to creation date of this_file
set folder_name to ((year of the_date as string) & "-" & day of the_date & "-" & month of the_date)
try
make new folder in window 1 with properties {name:folder_name}
end try
move this_file to folder folder_name
end repeat
end tell

DIM Error when starting Informatica - Failed to load DLL: HASClient.dll

Hi all,
I have Informatica 8.1.1 SP3 installed and I have installed Hyperion DIM adapter for Essbase 11.1.1.
I have followed all the steps given in the installation guide to install the adapters.
But when I open Informatica I am getting the error - Failed to load DLL: HASClient.dll for plug in HASCONNECTOR.
Beacuse of that I am not getting the option to 'Import from Essbase' in Informatica.
Can anyone give any idea what I may have done wrong and how can I make it working.
Thanks..

You need to run through the instructions again. This sounds like an issue with the environment variables not being set correctly.
Look in the [DIM Install PDF|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/dim_11111_install.pdf]

I have installed Informatica 8.6.1 and Hyperion DIM adapter for Essbase 11.1.1.1.
I have followed all the installation procedure correctly like registering with the registry and registering the plug in with the Informatica repository and setting up the class path variables.
Still I am unable to see the option 'Import from Hyperion Essbase' in the Informatica source and target designer.
Am I missing any steps or any other suggestions? Thanks...

Please help. Thanks in advance.

To create workflow process which periodically examines one database table??

hi.......
plz tell me the complete details that how to create workflow process which periodically examines one database table??
also it will send email to specific address if certain condition is not fulfilled??
help is really appreciated
thanks nd regards
manish singla

Hi,
I'd be wary of using a WAIT activity, since this will essentially have the workflow running forever in the same SQL session. If you ever need to shutdown the database, then you would have to kill the session (or do a shutdown abort), which will rollback all the Workflow transactional data.
I would leave the polling logic to a process outside the Workflow engine. In an Applications environment, this should be a Concurrent request. If this is standalone Workflow, then schedule something using DBMS_JOB. The job should check the database, and if necessary, initiate a new workflow to send the notification.
If the notification does not require a response, then I would be inclined to bypass Workflow competely, and have a job which calls UTL_SMTP to send an email.
HTH,
Matt

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.
