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.

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...
Best Regards,
Patrick

FDM multipload option not importing members from some dimensions

I am importing the data using multiload option in FDM. Import step is successful but I get only Entity and Account dimension members only in the Import stage, whereas the other dimension members are not getting imported. I have used the below headers while importing in multiload option text file
BUDGET_LOAD
BUDGET
01/31/2012
12
R,R,,,,,Y
Project,Entity,Line Item,Version,Account,v,v,v,v,v,v,v,v,v,v,v,v
Members for other dimensions like Project, Line Item and Version is not getting imported. Any help on this.
Thanks

Project, Line Item and Version will not be recognised as they are not the Adapter names for the dimensions but their aliases. You need to use the adpater dimension names i.e. If Project is the alias for the UD1 dimension put UD1 in the header in place of Project

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

See below for syntax issues with using the SQL Interface with MaxL to load first a dimension, then data. (Any one have experience with getting the exact syntax for this?)

Can We generate Check report based on Custom Dimension in FDM

Hi All,
We got a requirement in our project to generate the check report based on custom dimension. As far as i know the check reports that got generated in FDM are based on Entity Dimension.
So, will you please let me know whether it is possible to generate report based on any one of the custom dimension.
Thanks.

I guess I am not understanding the question here?
The check report is based on the location/entity that you are running the report for. You can pull values for a specific intersection in the target application with the check report, so you could specify the custom dim in the intersection.

Custom Dimension sql names in version 11.1.2 HFM Data Extract

Does someone know how to reference the Custom Dimensions in Hyperion 11.1.2 in Hyperion 9.3 they were custom1_item, Custom2_item,custom3_item, and custom4_item but I am not sure what they are now called? any help would be appreciated.

I'm not clear on what you're after, but I think your question is about the item tables in HFM's database? If so, the custom dimension table is now appname_custom_item for all of the custom dimensions. Each custom is then distinguished by LDIMID field, which contains the custom dimension's number "1", "2", "3", "4". I've not examined the same for 11.1.2.2 for an application having more than four dimensions.

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

Data Protection Switch - FDM

I am trying to find out how to enable/setup the Data Protection Switch in FDM.
The FDM manual does not explain how to do it. It just mentions the feature.
Can anyone tell me how to enable this? Trying to protect data in HFM from being erased upon FDM loads. Certain data is entered directly into HFM using Data Forms (this keeps getting "Replaced" when Upstream loads).
Any tips would be greatly appeciated.
James
469-549-6154

Good day James,
The first requirement is that you have configured FM to have a custom dimension member that is valid for all accounts or the accounts that you want to protect.
You only have one member that you can secure or all the other members but this one member in any dimension.
The data protection has three switches that you need to activate to protect the data. To my knowledge this only works with FM. Because FDM extracts the data and attaches the data to the bottom of the data load
1st Turn on the data Protection (Enable data protection)
2nd Supply a protection value this is the name dimension member that you want to protect in FM (Protection values)
3rd Choose your operator, this switch can be set to greater or smaller than not the current protection value as specified above or equal to the protection value which will only protect the members in the named dimension member and all other members in the dimension will be cleared with the replace.
The best way to implement data protection is to allocate one custom dimensions and load all the General ledger data into a members GL member and the supplementary data into another member/s.
Regards

To provide some clarity here, this resolved the issue for use also. The good news is that it should be relatively easy for anyone with FDM Workbench access to resolve this given the following information from the FDM DBA guide (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/fdm_dba.pdf):
To modify the Oracle Work TablespaceName and Oracle Work Table Index
TableSpaceName configuration settings:
1 Launch Workbench, and log on to the FDM application.
2 Select Tools > Configuration Settings.

Error while running Webi report that uses Custom Dimension object(SAP BW)

Hi,
I have a universe that is based on SAP BW.I have created a custom dimension object that displays the maximum date.
The object syntax is
<expression>Max(@Select(CPS Online\Calendar day))</expression>
The object parses successfully.
The object 'Calendar Day ' is a defaultobject created during universe creation from the BW query.It is defined as [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]
I tried to create a Webi report using this object and a measure .On running the query it throws the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22] AS ' Max{[0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]} ' SELECT { [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22], [Measures].[4JCOSFOKKCUR3RMBPNROFKQQD] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS DIMENSION PROPERTIES [0CALDAY].[20CALDAY] ON ROWS FROM [ZCCPSONL/ZCPSONLINE] failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with (. (WIS 10901)
I have tried every possible syntax I could think of but I keep getting this error each time.I have set the object type to Number (even though it is actually a Date), I have tried writing the MDX inside the Max instead of the @select , but nothing seems to work.Could anyone please let me know why this error is occuring?Is there anything wrong with the syntax or is there any setting in Webi needed before a custom dimension object can be used on it.

Can you see data for Custom object @ BEx level??
YES, then just try to re-create the same variable and Save the BW query.
Now do View - refresh Strusture @ Universe. And you can see Filter for the same, just Parse it, just whether it is OK or not.
OK -- then Export the Universe and create WebI reports, this will come as Prompt.
Hope it will helps you.
Thank You!!

     Message:      (-2147217900) - Data access error.
     See Bulk Load File:      C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialDataQuality\Mineapp\Test2\Inbox\tWadmin56465844032.tmp
[RDMS Bulk Load Error End]
Please help me out i am really helpless and dont know how to solve this error.

When you perform a bulk load, you basically tell SQL Server to execute a command local to the SQL server. What that means is that if you pass it a parameter that says load the file :
C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialDataQuality\Mineapp\Test2\Inbox\mine\load_demo2.txt
SQL Server is going to look on it's C drive for the file.
Unless you have SQL Server running on the FDM server, this is going to fail obviously.
The 'right' thing to do is setup your FDM app using a share name. (i.e. \\FDMSERVER\FDMAPPS\Mineapp instead of c:\Hyperion\products\FinancialDataQuality\Mineapp).
If you are relatively handy with FDM, there is a config file (in XML) that has the path information for the apps and you just need to change it from the hardcoded C drive reference to the share you create.)
Your other option is to NOT load the fiels as bulk. If you have a lot of large data files being loaded, this would be a bad idea. If you have relatively small load files every month and not a lot of users on the system, this may not impact performance. I would update the path information if it were me.

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.
Rgds,
Poonam

XML data output in a custom grid table

I was wondering if it is possible to display xml data output in a custom-made grid table? Important is the ability to

Data protection in FDM

We're trying to set up data protection so that FDM doesn't overwrite manual input schedules but only replaces GL data. We've set up a C1 member called "Data_GL" to receive this data. The FDM manual reads as follows but offers no clues on how to set and use the settings and functionality. Any help on making this work will be gratefully received.
Best,
John
From the FDM manual, Configuring Integration Settings:
* Data Protection Switch—Enables FDM to protect data in the target system from being overwritten during data imports based on a specified protection value. Use this when data is entered into the target system through a method other than FDM. <Selected "Yes">
* Protection Value 1—Stores the value used with the Data Protection Switch. It is the value that is not to be overwritten. Selected "Data_GL" - C1 member for storing GL data>
* Protection Operator—Stores an operator (= or <>) to determine if items equal to the value stored in the Protection Value 1 are to be protected, or if items that do not equal the value stored in the Protection Value 1 are to be protected.
<Selected "not equal signs" ... that is, protect everything that is not "Data_GL">

I too have found the FDM manual does not provide detail on how to set up Data Protection functionality.
Any tips?

Data entered in the custom field in the SRM portal not getting saved..

Hi Experts,
I have added a custom field in Contract Screen of the SRM portal by adding the field as an append structutre in structure INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_CTR.
The custom field now appears in the header (basic data ) of the 'Process contract' screen.
NOw It allows me to enter data in the custom field .
The problem is ..
When I 'CHECK' or "RELEASE' the contract, the value entered in the custom field disappears..
How do i capture the data entered in the custom field ...please HElp!!!
Thanks in Advance.
Vidya

Hi Pradeep,
Thanks for the reply!!
We have upgraded our SRM system from 3.0 to 5.5
I have added the custom field in structures INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_CTR and
INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF as the field has to appear in the basic data tab of 'Process Contract'.
Regarding debugging:
1. I tried to debug in BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI by calling the FM BBP_PD_CTR_GETDETAIL. inside the badi and the parameter e_header of the function module contained the custom field but had no value...!!
2. I tried to debug the badi BBP_CUF_BADI_2 method MODIFY_INPUT..
The import variable iv_fieldname contains the field name amd the variable iv_value has the value entered in the custom field .........but another import structure ls_header also contains the custom field but no value....
Method MODIFY_INPUT has only one export parameter ev_value,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!!!!!!!!!!
