Import Dimension Data Package

I am trying to use Import Dimension datapackage to import members from a table. This package first deletes current meembers and then imports values in the table. Is there a way to append, modify etc. the cuurent members of the dimension with this package.

Kadir,
Now I understand what you need.
To avoid that scenario, I think you need to export MBR table to excel member sheet after fiish that 'import dimension' package or add another task at end of the current import dimension package.
Then users will use updated member sheet so that we can avoid this issue.

Purpose of Update/Overwrite Hierarchy in Import master data package

Hi All,
Please let me know what is the difference in update and overwrite option in import master data package. Here when i tried running the package, both the option are altering the hierarchy of existing member.
My requirement is just to add a new member ID, if it already exist it should not affect those records and only update the new master data records.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramanathan

Hi Ramanathan,
You can run Import Master Data DM package in BPC to perform delta master data load. While you run DM package you get option to load Master Data from BW/BI where you can select:
1. MERGE: this will keep old data intact and also load new master data, and
2. COPY and REPLACE: This will copy new data and delete old master data.
As per your requirement, you need to select the First option. If you select Update option then it will not delete old master data, instead update the members and hierarchy according to the parent-children design which you would have given in the dimension membersheet.
Hope this corresponds to your requirement.

Update and Overwrite Option in Import Master Data Package

Hello,
In the package Import Master Data there is the option "Select method for loading master data". I don't understand very well what is the difference between the "Update" and "Overwrite" option. I have tested both and I get the same result.
Can someone explain to me what is the difference between both options ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Option overwrite: all properties are overwritten. If they are not maintained in the source file, they will be deleted in the member sheet
Option update: only the properties maintained in the source file are overwritten. The other ones are not changed.

BPC 7.5: Import Transactional Data Error

When trying to run the Import Transactional Data package, the load will complete successfully (and all the data gets loaded), but when I go to view the log file I see the following error.
Task name LOAD:
BAdi not implemented for appset <APPSET>, dimension TIME, rule 00000001
We recently transported this from our DEV system to our TEST system. There are no errors showing in the DEV system and everything transported correctly. Any ideas on why I may be seeing this error?

Hi Howell,
Any clue on how this error was resolved?
We are facing this problem now in 7.5 SP13, in exactly the same scenario after transport.
Appreciate if you could let us know.
Thanks.

How do you import Comment data

Hi folks
Is there a way to import bulk amount of comment data to it's corresponding table (tech name : /1CPMB/* )
If so, could you please provide me any kind of technical tips or related document.
Thanks in advance.
-Tae

No, I wasn't talking about copying comments from one version to another within application.
I have mentioned importing comment data to it's corresponding text table starting with a tech. name /1CPMB/...
Just like importing transaction data with using 'import transaction data' package which uploads the data from the
CSV file.
We have a situation where we need to import actual transaction data and comments at the same time
in order to let our end users to explore the trans. and comment data in a single
BPC custome made template.
Thanks.

Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

Dear Experts,
I have two questions regarding the data manager.
Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
My image of csv file is like below;
ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
(I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
Thanks in advance for your help.
Fumi

Hi Fumi,
In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...

Patrick

MaxL for Import of Data & Dimension info using an ODBC source (Oracl based)

Import dimension and member via maxl, how to create data file and rule file

Hi
I have a task to import dimension and member into Essbase, for project requirement, I have to use text file or spreadsheet file.
I wonder which format can be imported into Essbase?
I tried to create them, failed.
Do you have any samples to help me? dimension file and rule file...
I search a lot in http://gerardnico.com/wiki/epm/essbase/dimension_build#about , but there are no samples.
Thanks in advance...
Best regards,

import database Sample.Basic data from data_file 'C:\TEMP\GENREF.txt' using rules_file 'C:\TEMP\GENREF.rul' on error append to 'C:\TEMP\logs\dimbuild.log';Here issue is not with rulefile but in reading the rule file.
I hope rule file is in the database directory (By default it will get saved there only)
Try with the below command
import database Sample.Basic data from data_file 'C:\TEMP\GENREF.txt' using server rules_file 'GENREF' on error append to 'C:\TEMP\logs\dimbuild.log';
Rule file also had one issue
Market, Product, Measures, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, DecHere I am seeing only four dimensions from the Sample.Basic database
Scenario is missing. So define Actual (Scenario Dimension member) in the rule file header definition.
All dimensions must be identified to parse one data file with rule file.
PS: Naming (GENREF) is also irrelevant if you are loading data. It is apt for dim load.

Importing auxilary data to a FDM custom dimension not to be exported

Hi all,
we want to import some data to a FDM dimension (UD5) that does not need to be mapped and neither exported?
How should we configure this dimension in the HFM Adapter?
9.3.1
Thanks

Long story short, out of the box you could re-use existing columns in the databases or other fields perhaps; however, if you've already looked at that and nothing works how you want it, your options are going to require customization.....
Doing this would be pretty straight forward, although you might incur minor wrath from Oracle support depending on how you implement it. Basically you'd need to do a couple things that come to mind ......
#1 - Create a data storage area
#2 - Recognize the data on the import
#3 - Store the data in the storage area
#4 - Make a retrieval mechanism for this info (Why would you store it if you can't ever view it?)
For #1 - Assuming you can't make use of any of the existing database columns (I think you could...) I would just add another table in the FDM database that will contain the info you want. Considering we're talking about loading data, you'd probably want to add a foreign key and create a relationship with the relevant existing tables/columns such as tDataSegxx (Columns DataKey or PartitionKey/CatKey/PeriodKey). I'd also make sure that I enable referential integrity and have the actions be to remove/update data so that you don't orphan data in this new table at a later date.
For #2 - Update your import format to have another column which will be your text and then I guess you have some choices. For the column you could instruct it to execute a script and just have that do the work to put the data into a database column; however.... I'd probably handle this in the AftValidate as at that point you should have all the info you need to get at the relationship data you would want. Bottom line is that there are options to this.
For #3 - Similar to point #2, there are plenty of options for how to store this. Assuming you are storing in a separate table and not repurposing an existing database column in FDM, I would just use ADO via scripting to do the inserts/updates/deletes.
For #4 - Not sure what you want to do with this information, but you should be able to get to it with an FDM report, or you could get to it on the export stage via script, etc, etc.

Failure with one data package - manual import?

Hi all,
if one data package wasn´t loaded correctly into the cube. Is it possible to activate this package manually?
Thanks in advance!

The load completes always at the moment from data source to DSO. The load from DSO to cube has sometimes failures and sometimes not. If I reactivate the failed load to InfoCube again the load is updated well. But this SQL insert problem makes me wondering sometimes why it appears. Maybe the system has a huge work load and sometimes an error appears and it´s nomal business?

Selection Set - Import Master data (prompt selection)

Hello Gurus,
When we run the package "Import Master data from NW infoobject" using data manager in BPC
we have options to select ,Infoobject ,write mode ,format ,transformation file and Dimension ,all of this we can use the answer prompt and provide the inputs using UJD_TEST_PACKAGE and automate it.
Now i want to also provide the inputs of "SET SELECTION" tab available on the package which are below ,so how to automate
Attribute ,Hierarchy ,Language ,Attribute List
in the prompt file in the UJD_TEST_PACKAGE
Thanks

Hi Peter,
You can trigger a BPC load from back end too. For that you need to create variants for the program UJD_TEST_PACKAGE or create a custom program depending on the requirement and then create variants( for example to load cost center master data, create a variant for 0COSTCENTER ) for it. The values for the variant{as already mentioned by Gersh} would be the text enclosed in square brackets after you run a Data Manager Package manually and then view details of the status.
Steps are:
1) Goto SE38
2) Enter the program UJD_TEST_PACKAGE or the custom package
3) Create a variant for the required master data/hierarchy load.
4) Enter the details of variant by using the details after you have manually run a data manager package.
You can test the package and include it in your pc's too.
Thanks,
Vinay

Preparing Master Data Package

Hi,
My question about packages. As you know we can make some packages for script logics and transaction data files. But when i want to make package for master datas(cpmb\import_iobj_master), it seems impossible. Because there is " set selection". i cant modify set selection part. I couldnt see any choose format about this.
My purpose customers should just click to finish button when they want to import master data .
Are there any documents about this or anyone prepare it ?
Take it easy...

HI,
We can do modify the existing selection in DM pacakge.
Once your package is in Modify Package state,then follow the below steps to modify the script.
1.Click on the button beside Selection of Process chain tab,which takes you to new screen..
2.In the new scree,you find the Advanced tab in right of the screen..click on the tab,new screen appears.
3.Once you open the new screen,you find the Prompt,Task functions with what ever selections your doing in the package..
4.If you want you can modify that prompt members like dimensions from CATEGORY to CURRENCY..or you can delete it completly if you dont want...be sure what you want to do..once you have done with your changes please save all the steps till the package closure..
Hope above steps help you to your issue..
Thanks,

Work status in data package

Hi,
Assuming category, entity, time are my work status dimension, and i have decided to give a work status of 'approved' to category=budget, entity=sales, time=2015.total, hence category and entity are both base members while time is a parent member. However i DID NOT click on "include children in the data region". But later when i checked the work status of 'category=budget, entity=sales, time=2015.aug", it has turned into "approved". Don't i have to click on "include children in the data region" in order to flow this down to the children?
Regarding the work status checking in data packages, what does the following mean:
- Select whether to check work status settings when deleting comments?
- Select whether to check work status settings when importing data?
- Select whether to check work status settings when running logic?
Thanks and regards

Hi,
You are absolutely right. Ideally, if "Should children of this data region be included?" is not selected, the children should not be included. However, I am not sure why this has happened in your case. Will definitely check on this and get back to you.
For your second query regarding the DM packages.
If you select Yes, work status settings will be copied with the data. If you select No, work status settings are not copied with the data.
Hope this helps.

Identify the last data package in start routine

Hi Everyone
We have a start routine in transformations. We require to do some special processing in the start routine only when the last data package is executing. How can we determine in the start routine that current package is last one or not ? Any pointers in this direction are appreciated.

Hi,
You can get packet Id from datapackid in start routine and end routine. But I'm not so sure how to identify the last packet ID, alternatively you can store this packet id in some where else and read the same value in End routine if your logic(processing) permits to do this in End routine instead of Start routine.
METHODS
      start_routine
        IMPORTING
          request                  type rsrequest
          datapackid               type rsdatapid
        EXPORTING
          monitor                  type rstr_ty_t_monitors

Clear Data package - "The data file is empty." Error

Hi,
When I run the Clear package in Data Manager, I get the error "The data file is empty". We are running BPC 7.5 SP3. There are no calculated members selected. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Tom

Hi Tom,
If i'm not mistaken when we run the clear data package, BPC inserts -ve values for the combination of dimensions selected.
For ex if you have selected time as 2010.DEC it would reverse out all these values by inserting negative values which would then total up to zero.
So i still think it could be a problem with the Transformation file.
P.S. Maybe you can try using the Clear from Fact table package.
