Load Bulk shared members in EPMA

Hi,
We need to develop the process to be able to load members in bulk, thus manual addition will not help. I specifically want to (1) load exisitng dimension members where the parent has changed, and ensure these members are MOVED and not duplicated as shared, and (2) load shared members.
Any guidance in this regard will be helpful.s ma

Hi John
I can't map the IsPrimary to any property in EPMA?
I added the column in my flat file, but in my import profile I can't map it, so in the load it is giving 'The 'IsPrimary' column is not present in the import source for dimension 'Entity'. Creating all imported members as primary instances.'
Is the property only applicable to the Account dimension? I'm trying to load the shared members in Entity dimension.
Cheers,
Omar

EPMA interface load for shared members

Hi,
Iam trying to load metadata to EPMA shared library through interface tables. was able to load everything except the shared members. I checked with IsPrimary value and set it to N/0 values also kept datastorage type to shareData. But still not getting updated. Import result gives the follwoing warning.
"The import section 'Hierarchies' contains multiple primary instances of member '698035' in dimension 'Account_Shared'. Only the first instance will be processed"
Please help me out.
thanks,

am still not able to sort out the above problem. can some one please help me to load shared members to EPMA shared library ?

ODI - Delete Shared Members?

Hello,
I load a node in a Planning dimension with Shared Members using an ODI Interface. We have a need to remove all of these Shared Members before we perform the load. Is it then possible to remove all Shared Members from specific locations using ODI? I know that we can run the Delete Shared Members utility from the server where Planning is installed, but that is not possible for admin users who do not have admin rights to the server. Version 11.1.1.2, ODI version 10.1.3.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

John,
Thanks for the reply. The dimension is in a Planning Application/database. I have a parent/child/Alias txt file that I used to load the dimension node with. Are you saying that it is possible to create an ODI interface that can "Delete Level 0" members? Below is a sample of the dimension via planning/dimensions. In this example, I would want to remove all members under the "COGS" node....or all "Shared Members". Below is also a sample of the file used to load the Shared Members.
Thanks again,
Steve

Building RULES file to load shared members in Aggregate storgage outline

Hi there
I posted this yesterday (sorry, somewhat different subject description). I am trying to create an alternate hierarchy containing shared members using a load rule and flat file in an Aggregate Storage outline. One response was to remove the "allow moves" option and use parent child build in the load rule. I tried that and it did not work. i was pointed to a section in the essbase guide (which is about as clear as mud), and still cannot get this to work. First of all - can you do this with an ASO outline? If so, how? I tried a simple 6 line flat file and recreated the load rule based on the above recommendations and it will not the shared members. Can someone out there help?
thanks

Here is an example in the simplest form.
Create Aso db (duplicate members names not selected)
Create Product dimension member, set to "Multiple Hieararchies Enabled", (though probably would work if dynamic)
Create load rule, set as parent/child dimension build for product, make sure allow moves is not ticked.
Data file
Parent,Child
100,100-20
200,200-20
Diet,100-20
Assign field properties in rule for Parent.Child
Load data, 100-20 will be created as shared.
Cheers

EPMA Shared Members not reflecting in Planning application post deployment

Hi,
I have added a member in 'Entity' dimnesion. The same member is also added in an alternate hiererchy as shared member (Using Insert member option in dimension library). When I refresh the application view, I do see both the original member and shared member in application vieiw. But post deployment, only the base member is reflected in planning application and not the shared member.
I have redeployed the application multiple times now, but i am still not able to see the shared members reflected in Planning application.
Kindly let me know if you have any idea on the same or faced a similar issue?
Regards
Meenal

Hi,
Have you patched up EPMA with patches from Metalink3
9.3.1.1 Patch includes -
6897835 SHARED MEMBERS IN ENTITY DIMENSION CAN NOT BE DEPLOYED TO ASO/BSO APPS
It is advisable to keep a look out for patch fixes with EPMA
Hope this helps

Shared Members in Load Rules

Hello,I am trying to build a dimension build load rule.How do you create shared members within a dimension? Does it have to be through a parent-child load rule? What if you have a subset of a dimension, (eg duplicate hierarchy) with more then two levels, ie parent child? How do you create shared memebers then?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

I'm a newbie in dim build using load rule too. I'd a bunch of products that had to be in 2 roll-up structures, apparently as shared members in one of them. It took little effort to build the first roll-up using a generation build method. Just when I thought it was gonna be a slam dunk, I couldn't create the second roll-up. I kept trying different load options but it just wouldn't work. I noticed the "Do Not Share" check box was always disabled. So I clicked on the different build method buttons. I noticed that the box become enable when I selected the parent/child method. I tried and it turned out to work fine. So, for the little knowledge I have, it seems you must use the parent/child rule to create shared members.

Shared members in duplicate member enabled EPMA outlines

Hi all,
I have created an EPMA ASO "allow duplicate members application". I want to create an alternate shared hierarchy but all teh shared members are getting deployed in essbase as stored members. Do I need to enable any other property also so that shared members are treated as shared members only and not stored members.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please answer this...its very urgent

Loading shared members from interface tables

Hi,
I am loading data to Hyp. Planning via interface tables. I need to load shared members. Where can i tell him that this is a shared member?
thank you very much
lubos

Will not it cause probles when loading shared members first before the original ones?
I thought that DataStorage only accpet values like StoreData, NeverShare etc.
I will try it out.
Thank you very much for your help

How to load shared members into a duplicate outline using load rules

Hello, I am trying to load an alternate hierarchy into the same dimension in an outline that accepts duplicate members using EAS load rules ... there is no property for shared members so i can't specify it in the load rule .. i tried using parent child and it is not working - no shared members are loaded in the alternate hierarchy .. any ideas? would another utility make it happen?
thx

Load rule to update alternate hierarchy with shared members more than once

I have a aso cube with an alternate hierarchy that is not stored because the shared members appear more than once. Below is how my alternate hierarchy looks.
Dept
Class
VolumeLevel
StoreNum
where StoreNum is the shared member.
I build the cube using eis every weekend. The VolumeGroup changes everyday, so I was thinking of using a sql load rule to update the outline everyday. Assuming that the data and the aggregation does not get cleared. Is it possible to do it using sql load rule?
Thanks,

You can check here if you are satisfying the conditions for creating shared members under the Hierarchy (refer to Alternate Hierarchies). Plz note that rules for shared members are different in ASO world.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?acrtapdb.html
Otherwise there is no reason why you should not be able to create a shared member.
I am able to create a hierarchy using a sample file like this ->
EN_MAIN, EN_500000
EN_500000, EN_49999
EN_ALT, C_500000
C_500000, EN_49999
ENTITY (Multiple Hierarchies Enabled)
|-EN_MAIN (Stored)
|--EN_500000
|---EN_49999
|-EN_ALT (Stored)
|--C_500000
|---EN_49999 (Shared)
The rule file has only "Allow Property Changes" on.
Thanks,
Sunil

Duplicate Member Outline and Loading Shared Members

I have an outline where I want to allow duplicate member names but in some cases I will need shared members. I am trying to build the outline parent child and I cannot get it to understand the fact that I want a shared member.
Here is an example:
[market],east
[market],west
[market],other
[market].[east], nj
[market].[east], ny
[market].[west], ca
[market].[west], lv
[market].[other],[market].[west].[lv] <--- this should be shared
[market].[other],ny <--- this should not be shared
Does anyone know how to do this?

If you would like to less the charecters and if you are retrieving the data using SQL, then you could using the Substr function to restrict the characters to 80 substr( string, start_position, [ length ] )

hi John,
Here i'm building the dimension through generation build method.
setting the properties as
Field, Dimension, Field Type, Field Number
Field1,Product,Generation,2
Field2,Product,property,2
Field3,Product,Generation,3
Field4,Product,Generation,4
After mapping it shows dimensions are correctly mapped.
When i load the source file and the rule file, it shows error partially loaded data,.And it doesn't shows the shared member property. That is what asked How to modify the source file for building shared members using Rules file.
Thanks,

Level building/shared members

Can you generate shared members when level building your dimensions?

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the previous 2 posters. You can build shared members when you use a level build method. I do it all the time. Assume your level zero member is in a primary and secondary rollup and that there are 3 parents in the firs rollup and 2 in the second, the format of the load rule would be:
Lev0,Lev1,Lev2,Lev3,lev1,Lev2

Shared Members Problem

Hi,I want to start using the Shared Members option for one of my applications in EAS 7.1.0, but have amended the outline and loaded data but the Shared members are appearing in my data twice, therefore duplicating my sales figures in excel add-in, which isn't what I want, I just want the part to be added once, so almost as if one part doesn't get calculated. Can anyone help me with this?? Many ThanksSarah

As Sreenivas said, change the consolidation to tilde.However, I would put a word of caution on what/how you do this.Typically, a hierarchy has one "primary" roll-up, where all the members are listed only once, and the hierarchy has an organized rollup. In addition, there may be "alternate" roll-ups. These hierarchies have internal consistencies that roll-up to a given point, but no further.What I mean by this is, that you should consider finding the 'root' location of the shared roll-ups, and mark it as non-aggregating (~), but the shared members themselves should aggregate to provide the alternate hierarchy it's own internal consistency.After working out the reason for the distinction between the main and alternate hierarchies, it becomes fairly obvious that your main roll-up will be 100% of your non-shared members, and the alternates may contain subsets.Example:Product has children "All Products", and "Discount Products", "All Products" will contain them all and aggregate to the Product root member. "Discount Products" contains a subset that aggregate up to itself, but it doesn't aggregate to the Product root member. You may have additional "alternate hierarchies", but only one will be your "full roll-up".Note: This example ignores the use of UDA's or attribute dimensions for doing this same thing, for illustrative purposes.-Doug
