Loading data through rule files in Essbase

Hi everyone,
I really need help because something that I don't understand is happening when I am loading data through a rule files that I have created in Essbase. In the "Field Properties" of that rules files, I added few accounts in the "Global Properties" that I wanted to be replaced by others when I perform the load since I had troubles with the hierarchy of my accounts. My problem is that I have 3 accounts that I cannot add when I am loading my data and I don't understand why. By example, in my data extract file, I want to add the account : 601820SN60005 but since it doesn't exist in my Dimension Library I changed my rule file. I add the following propertie : Replace 601820SN60005 with 601820, so the system should put the data in that account instead. But it's not what'S happening. When I perform my load, the log tells me that the member 601820SN60005 does not exist in the database which is true but it seems that the propertie I had is not working. The load should work property. Is it possible that my rules files is corrupted? Or anything else?
Please give me a clue of what's happening here because I really don't understand!
Thanks a lot!

I will just pipe in with the mostly worthless comment that doing any kind of ETL within a load rule is really not the world's best idea. Could you do your transformations in the source? There is this fantastic language called "SQL" that allows all kinds of cool data manipulations. Oracle even sells this product called ODI that I hear is just dandy for ETL work. :)
A slightly more useful suggestion -- it's really tough to view all of the various transformations in a load rule, as you have found to your sorrow. Did you know you can print the load rule and get all of the transformations? I use it all the time when a client hasn't listened to my whine about not doing ETL in a load rule.

1) Wrong format, you wont get much support loading OLAP cubes in here I think.
2) Has your CSV file been anywhere near excel by chance the conversion of 20071113121100 to 2.00711E+13 looks very much like what I see when Excel has an invalid number mask / precision specified for a cell.
*** We are using EBS. File was already generated by consultants through SQL query. Getting error while loading though Informatica. Target table is setup as date datatype and source is String(19).
Expression in Informatica is setup as below.

How to enter TEXT data using rules files

Hi,
How can i enter text data using rules files?
Thanks,
A

If you are talking about planning members with a text data type then it is not possible to load the actual text string using a load rule,essbase just stores a numeric value and the text string relating to that numeric value is stored in the planning applications relational tables.
If you want to load text directly then you can load data through the planning layer, more information available at - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch05s02s01.html

Assigning property through rule files

Hi All,
a) Could anyone please explain me how can we assign properties of members through rule files while building the dimension. Suppose we want to assign the property store data or dynamic calc to any member then how we will do it through rule files.
b) What is the maxl command to refresh the database?
Thanks

John,
Thanx ur blog was very helpful. I am facing a problem while loading a dimension which has attributes e.g. Product is my dimension which has attributes like Caffeinated- boolean, ounces- numeric, pkg type- text and Intro date- date.
I get errors like-
1)Intro Date_04-01-1996: The attribute member name does not match the setting for the type of attribute. Date attribute members should be specified in xx-xx-yyyy format................... and.............
2) Ounces_12: The attribute member name does not match the setting for the type of attribute. Date attribute members should be specified in xx-xx-yyyy format.

Load data from XML files into BI

Hi All,
Can any one guide me through the steps which involve in loading data from XML files into BI?
Thanks
Santosh

Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
Thanks In Advance
Regards,
San
1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

Can't load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis)

Hi,
There is EPM application where I want to give ability to planners to load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis). In Shared Services there are four options in
EssbaseCluster-1: Administrator, Create/Delete Application, Server Access, Provisioning Manager. Only Administrator can submit data in smart view (ad-hoc analysis). But I don't want to grant Essbase administrator to planners, I'm just interested to give them ability to load data through ad-hoc analysis. Please suggest!

I take that you refreshed the Planning security, If not refresh the security of those users. Managing Security Filters
Check in EAS whether those filters are created with "Write" permissions.

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

Hi ethan.....
U always need a driver to be present inside ur <ODI installation directory>\drivers folder.....for both the target and the source......Because ojdbc14.jar is the driver for oracle already present inside the drivers folder ....we don't have to do anything for it.....But for Essbase ...you need a driver......If u haven't already done this.....try this.....
Hope it helps...

I am loading hierarachy through flat file but facing problem

i am loading hierarachy through flat file but facing problem when creating infopackage still error coming please suggest details what are steps followed

Hi,
Follow the steps:
     Hierachy through flat file
     First create a flat file save as in .CSV format. Then close the file.
       Create info area in info object then info object catalog opens then create it then info object screen opens then another screen opens were you will give data type, length then select option hierarchy tab, then select it simply select the check box with hierarchies.
        Select attribute tab in that name, age, address, phone then activate it then come back to the main screen then select characters right click a small screen open then select info object then a small screen opens then create sales region and activate it.
     Then return back to the main screen then click characters right click on it then a small window opens then select info object option & create sales office and activate it.
     Then return to the main screen then select characters then the ID then the double click on it then the other screen opens select hierarchy tab then select external chars in hierarchies then click on it then other screen opens then select find tab then give the sales region info object name and click continue then it finds the name.
     The name would be scroll on the other screen then the office should be find the same way as region then office would be scroll on the other screen then continue and activate it.
     Then come back to the main screen then go to info source option then it opens then create application component then it opens other screen then click continue it
     Then create info source for master data then select direct update option there give the name of the info object of as ex; YID_AS2 then click continue.
     Then the YID_AS@ could be seen in the main screen then right click on it. Then a small option opens then click assign data source option then other screen opens there it gives the empty space double click on it then PC file then click continue then another window opens click continue then again screen opens click continue again a pop up screen opens click continue.
     Then another screen opens there the attribute data source then activate it then select hierarchy activate it then the left side data structure/ hierarchy then click on it then it opens another screen then click hire maintenance button .
     Then give the hierarchy name (your wish) then go with continue then yes then save then go back to the main screen.
     Then maintain the flat file as node id, info object, node name, link name, parent no.
     Then info package creation then click on the flat file right clicks on it then a other screen opens then select attribute data source and then continue.
        Then other screen opens then select external data tab in .CSV then click 1 the enter preview then another screen opens then click then it shows the preview then schedule then start then monitor click on it then it opens other screen then click on the master data then we can see the data then go back to the main screen.
     Then select the flat file right click on it then it gives other screen then select hierarchy in that then click continue then it opens other screen then select hierarchy selection tab there you can see the file name then select the button of hierarchy.
     Then select External data then the file name in CSV then processing tab only psa option with update subsequently in data targets then the update it schedule start then the monitor then go to the main screen.
     Then go to info object then select the file id which you have given then double click on it then select hierarchy or text file then the contents then execute it.
     Create a transaction table , cube in a normal way. We can see the result in reports we have to give the hierarchy name in the properties of rows where we drag the characteristics id then we can see the records which we have entered man usally after executing the report.

Loading data from multiple files to multiple tables

How should I approach on creating SSIS package to load data from multiple files to multiple tables. Also, Files will have data which might overlap so I might have to create stored procedure for it. Ex. 1st day file -data from au.1 - aug 10 and 2nd day
file might have data from aug.5 to aug 15. So I might have to look for max and min date and truncate table with in that date range.

thats ok. ForEachLoop would be able to iterate through the files. You can declare a variable inside loop to capture the filenames. Choose fully qualified as the option in loop
Then inside loop
1. Add execute sql task to delete overlapping data from the table. One question here is where will you get date from? Does it come inside filename?
2. Add a data flow task with file source pointing to file .For this add a suitable connection manager (Excel/Flat file etc) and map the connection string property to filename variable using expressions
3. Add a OLEDB Destination to point to table. You can use table or view from variable - fast load option and map to variable to make tablename dynamic and just set corresponding value for the variable to get correct tablename
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Loading data through pl/sql

Hi frnds,
i want to load .mdb table into oracle 9i through pl/sql procedure.
i am doing this through sql* loader
my script is :
LOAD DATA INFILE '//empwrpub1/Data_Wrangler/Owens/Original Data/037 Refresh 10-06/SAP/SRM_INVOICE.txt'
INTO TABLE SRM_INVOICE_200610
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
now i want this through pl/sql procedure
thanks in advance

Hi,
The two different questions have arised during this Forum.
1. Load data through SQL loader from PL/SQL.
2. Use of many DDL and DML statements in the process of Data Loading.
I will start from the second Question :
this is great question I myself has faced this problem like first create temporary tables load data, update spaces with null or date formatting etc.
This is easily achieved when you load the data by using External Tables. There you need to write a script mentioning your datafile, location, column and line termination etc. In this same script you use your DDL statements first and then data loading script and there after DML if any.
This block would look like something PL/SQL block.
So, First questioin has also been answered with the condition that you have to use External tables and then load data by writing PL/SQL. I am not sure as I have never tried to call SQL loader commands from PL/SQL. So it Looks impossible. If at all you want to carry out the same activity from PL/SQL block then write a SQL loader Script, CTL file and then write a SHELL Program and then call it from PL/SQL Block.
Bye
