Load data filtering on a dimension's member - ESSCMD MaxL

Hi.
I would like to load data filtering records on a dimension's member. Referring as example to Sample's database outline, I would like to load only records with product 100-10.
I know that I can use Select command from Record 's rule menu in Administration Console; however, I would like to use ESSCMD or Maxl to do the same.
Is it possible? Any issue?
Thanks a lot in advance.

No it's not possible. The selection/rejection criteria are in the load rules and you can't pass parameters to them.
I think in 9.3.1 you could put a substitution variable in a load rule but have not tried it yet. If so, you could add that to MaxL to update the variable then use the load rule to load the data. You will have to try it as I have not done so yet.

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...

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.

Loading data into dimensions

hi
i have a problem with etl function.. i have decided to load data from database into dimensions using PL/SQL, but it doesnt work.
I have installed oracle 9i. I have created all dimensions and cubes in it.
The procedure is very easy, pristoje_dim is the name of my dimension..
is
prist hospital.CI_PRISTROJE_SG%rowtype;
cursor cp is
select * from hospital.CI_PRISTROJE_SG;
begin
open cp;
loop
fetch cp into prist;
exit when cp%notfound;
insert into hospital.pristroj_dim ( nazev, pristsg_id, inv_cis, trida, vyrob_cis) values (prist.pristsg_id, prist.nazev, prist.inv_cis, prist.vyrob_cis, prist.trida);
end loop;
close cp;
end;
after compile it says that that the table of view doesnt exist.
I dont know, what i am doing badly. it is my diploma thesis for finishing my university studies, please help!!
Thanks, Marketecka

Remap or move custom dimension data to another custom dimension

What is the process to move data from one custom4 dimension to another at both the entity currency level and in posted journals in all scenarios and years? Once this has been done, what is the best process to remove the data from it's original custom4 dimension, which we will then delete from the custom4 hierarchy? Does this data have to be removed, or will it be 'deleted' when we delete this custom4 dimension, and then actually deleted through the delete invalid records process?
We are using HFM version 9.3.3.

If I understand the question, the process is the same if you were to rename the Custom 4 member. You have to first extract all of the data including journals for all time (all scenarios, all years, all periods) for all entities that loaded data or posted journals to that member. In the extracted files you can find/replace the member name.
Load the metadata file with the new member in it, so that both the old and new exist together.
You then have to dig through all of the application objects that might have that member name hard coded in them: grids/forms/rules/lists/reports/smart view/system reports, and edit every object, re-pointing everything to the new name. Don't forget to update all of your data integration (FDM maps) and outbound data integrations that would be impacted by this change.
Once everything has been moved over, load a metadata file that omits the old member, and use Replace mode. Make sure you keep Check Integrity enabled as this will double check if you overlooked any journals or journal templates that still reference the old member name. Once it can be safely loaded, you can load back all of the updated journals and data.
Sound like fun? Renaming metadata can be a lot of work, so I don't recommend doing this unless there is no other option.

How to load Data of 2 tables into 1 dimension? Snowflake?

I want to load data of scott.dept & scott.emp into one dimension using AWM.
Don't want to join the 2 tables into 1, don't want to create a view either.
Is there a way?
I tried to select 'snowflake' as the dimension table type in the mapping editor.
but the data was not loaded properly.
only the dept data got loaded.
Any idea?

I created a new dimension called DEPT and added two levels : DEPT and EMP.
In the mapping I used the setting 'Other' rather than 'snowflake'. It requires a bit more mapping as you have to set the mapping details for each attribute and the member/parent details. This worked and loaded the data correctly. The mapping looks a bit strange as their are lines everywhere. But it works.
However, I then started playing with this to try and expand it a little further and things started to get very difficult
1) Manager- I tried to add an additional level to map the manager but this would not work because you cannot find the department for the manager from the existing table. If you try and use the Dept column what will be allocated is the department for the last employee in that table with the selected manager.
2) All - there is no way to add an 'All' level. Most OLAP dimensions require an 'All' or top level node to allow the data to be aggregate to a useful total. May be this should be an automatic feature of AWM - A possible enhancement request? Who knows it might be in the next release of AWM which is due shortly.
3) It is not possible to save the mapping - once you have created the mapping if you click on any other node in the AWM tree and then click on mapping again the type of dimension table reverts to 'Star Schema'. If you change the type to 'Other' some of the mappings get lost. This looks like a bug.
4) If you want to make this a value based dimension then you have to use the natural keys in the data. If you use surrogate keys then you can only create a level based dimension.
Hope this helps

How to load data to attribute dimension

hi gurus,
I have two questions:
1. could I enter data into attribute dimension using SmartView?
2. how could i load data into attribute dimension using load rules?
Regards,
Daniel

Hi,
1.
You can't send data back into Essbase if your POV has an attribute specified. The attribute will calculate (by default it does a sum) your POV dynamically and only bring back data which has that attribute assigned to it.
If you want to send data back into Essbase then the easiest way would be to keep the same POV and just remove the reference to the attribute. Smartview will then let you send data back into the Essbase cube.
2.
Same answer as point 1. Attributes are ways of adding more detail to members that already exist. You dont' load data into the attribute, you load data into the member that the attribute is assigned to.
Hope this helps,
Gee

Member not found error while loading data

Hi All,
I created a data load file and loaded data to the cube from EAS. I have some member's having all measure values as zero as shown below:
"1018" 0 0 0 294.4739236
"1019" 0 0 0 0
Data is loading properly for member "1018" but for "1019" even though it is already present in outline, its throwing an error as shown below:
+\\ Member 1019 Not Found In Database+
Please help me to resolve this issue....
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Lolita

Hi Lolita,
Are you sure you have member '1019' in the outline first?
Do a right click in Outline and find the member 1019. If you are able to track it, then check the rules files mapping is proper or not.
Also, try loading data for other combination for the same member.

Load data from dimensions to fact table

Hi,
I have 10 dimension tables and one fact table. now i want to load data in to fact table from dimensions table. how i can do that.
Regards,
joy

To elaborate on "Mallee"'s answer, it's not good practice to load dimensional data into a fact table.
I guess what you mean is how to refer to dimensions when loading a fact table.
Simply refer to dimensions using lookups on the necessary dimensions, the lookup needs to be on the natural key you have that links facts to dimensions. Don't forget to use the dimension's surrogate key though when populating the fact table's foreign key columns pointing at the dimensions.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Patrick

Delete data for a single dimension member

Is there anyway to delete all the data for a single dimension member from a particular cube?
olap version: 11.2.0.3

Nasar's approach should work, so I would use it so long as it performs well. But I have (several years ago) seen performance issues with CLEAR VALUES when it is applied to something smaller than an entire partition. So here is another method that also uses the FOR...BUILD construct. It clears the value of the PRICE measure in PRICE_COST_CUBE for PRODUCT = '48'. The cube has only two dimensions, TIME and PRODUCT, and I only want to assign to the leaf level of TIME, which is MONTH.
BEGIN
DBMS_CUBE.BUILD(Q'!
   "PRICE_COST_CUBE" USING(
    FOR
     "TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH"),
     "PRODUCT" WHERE "PRODUCT".DIM_KEY = '48'
    BUILD (SET PRICE_COST_CUBE.PRICE = NULL ))!',
    PARALLELISM=>0,
    ADD_DIMENSIONS=>FALSE);
END;
/You can increase parallelism here if your cube is partitioned. If you need to clear out other measures at the same time, then add additional SET command in the central block. E.g.
BUILD
SET PRICE_COST_CUBE.PRICE = NULL,
SET PRICE_COST_CUBE.COST = NULL
)After this step you can re-aggregate the cube to make the aggregate values reflect the change.
BEGIN
DBMS_CUBE.BUILD(Q'!
   "PRICE_COST_CUBE" USING(
    FOR
     "TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH"),
     "PRODUCT" WHERE "PRODUCT".DIM_KEY = '48'
    BUILD (SET PRICE_COST_CUBE.PRICE = NULL ),
    SOLVE)!',
    PARALLELISM=>0,
    ADD_DIMENSIONS=>FALSE);
END;
/The simple assignment to NULL will generate a simple assignment in the OLAP DML.
PRICE_COST_CUBE_STORED=NAYou can force the code to loop over the existing composite by replacing NULL with something that evaluates to NULL, but involves the composite.
SET PRICE_COST_CUBEW.PRICE = NVL2(NULL, PRICE_COST_CUBE.PRICE, NULL)Here is the generated OLAP DML assignment.
PRICE_COST_CUBEW_STORED=NVL2(NA, GLOBAL.GLOBAL!PRICE_COST_CUBEW_PRICE
, NA) ACROSS GLOBAL.GLOBAL!PRICE_COST_CUBEW_COMPOSITE

Issue with loading data into cube with duplicate members in different dimensions

Have a cube with allowed dublicate members only in two dims (Period1 and Period2).
Outlines saves with no errors, but when i try to load data, i get some errors:
"Member 2012-12 is a duplicate member in the outline
A6179398-68BD-7843-E0C2-B5EE81808D0B    01011    cd00    st01    2905110000    EK    fo0000    NNNN-NN-NN    2012-12    cust00000$$$    1"
These dims represent two similar periods of time. Am I to change member names and aliases a little in one of them(f.e. yyyy1-mm --> yyyy1 - mm1)?
Users wouldnt like it...
Period1
yyyy1
    yyyy1/q1
      yyyy1-mm1
      yyyy1-mm2
      yyyy1-mm3
    yyyy1/q2

You may have to use fully qualified name something like
[Period1].[2012-12]
[Period2].[2012-12]

Assigning property (* or / or ? or +) while loading data/building dimensions

Hican anyone tell me how to assign property (* or / or – or+) while loading data/building dimensions thanks and regards,Balu

The section in the DBAG about loading properties is really quite good. Basically these have to be in your load file in order to load.

Check for the double quotes (the one John mentioned). Also I can see that you are taking the approach of Data Load dimension. Is Data load dimension and driver members defined correctly in Planning?

Loading Data Using Outline Load Utility - Error

Trying to load some data using Outline Load Utility. I followed the Oracle documentation on this and Under the Administration -> Manage Data Load area I defined Accounts as data load dimension, and period as driver dimension. I then added Jan - Feb as driver members. I wanted to load data for Jan. My data header looks like this:
Accounts,Jan,Point-of-View,Data Load Cube Name
acct1, 768, "2010, Ver1, Actuals, entity1, etc" Plan1
The command i typed is this:
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\Planning\planning1>outlineload /A:Plan1 /U:Admin /M /I:C:\MockData2.txt /D:Accounts /L:C:\dataload.log /X:c:\dataload.exc
I get the following errors:
[Mon Nov 22 11:03:02 CST 2010] Unrecognized column header value "Jan".

This is version 11.1.2. What am I doing wrong here? I also find it interesting that the command for data load and metadata load is the same as per oracle docs. I guess Planning knows if we're trying to load data or metadata based on the CSV file header?

I don't usually bother with loading data using the outline load utility but as a test on 11.1.2 using the planning sample application I gave it a quick go.
In planning, went to Administration > Data Load Settings > Picked Account as the data load dimension, Period as the driver dimension and selected Jan as a member
I created a file :-
Account,Jan,Point-of-View,Data Load Cube Name
TestMember,100,"Local,E05,Actual,NoSegment,Working,FY11",Consol
And used the following command line from the directory with the planning utilities
OutlineLoad /A:plansamp /U:admin /M /N /I:F:/temp/dload.csv /D:Account /L:F:/temp/outlineLoad.log /X:F:/temp/outlineLoad.exc
The log produced :-

Need Help..!! Loading Data Using Outline Load Utility - No Data

Hi All,
I've tried to load data using Outline Load Utility but the data is not loaded into my Essbase.
Here are the step what I've done :
1. In planning, Administration > Data Load Settings

TLT, 100, 100, "FY11,Plan,Working,No Product,No Condition Type,No Vehicle Type,No Term Period,No Term,No Movement, Local, Apr", Retail
3. Run the Outline Load through cmd

Hi John,
thanks for reply..
I'm not check the essbase log yet..
From the OutlineLogs (Planning Outline load process finished (with no data load as specified (/N)). 1 data record was read, 1 data record was processed, 1 was accepted, 0 were rejected.), it doesn't mean the data successfully loaded, isn't it...??
Thanks.
