Loading dimensions using interface table

Hello,
I am trying to load dimensions into EPMA 11.1.1.3 using interface tables and need some direction. I have an accounts dimension file with the following columns ( Parent, Child, Alias, Description, DataType,Aggregation). I configured a data source using configuration wizard (Interface tables).
I see in the database that some sample tables are created. Now, should I create a separate table with the columns listed above?
Can someone let me know what are the next steps to successfully import accounts dimension?
Thanks

Can someone plz respond?
This is important for me. I have gone thru' the documentation and also the sample tables but don't understand why are there multiple tables for a particular dimension viz. hierarchy, property etc?
Please tell me the right way.
Thanks again!!

Loading metadata into EPMA applications using Interface tables-Automation

Hi,
I am loading the metadata into epma applications using interface tables as ODI dont perit to load metadata into epma applications. Is there any way of using ODI and interface tables together to load the metadata
This process also need to be automated.

Hi,
It is certainly possible and has be done, though there is not anything available that will do it for you, you will have to put in some effort learning the structure of the interface tables, then build interfaces and then a package in ODI to streamline the process.

Some more info
I am loading members into Acount Dimension.
I am using following tables as source tables.
hs_account_hierarchy
hs_account_member
hs_account_property
hs_account_propertyArray
I use hs_account_propertyArray to load member Alias and member sort order.
Alias loads rightly. Sort order is not taken taken into account at all while loading. The sort order after the dimension is loaded is Alphabetical.
Sample records in my propertyArray table look like
Property Name Key Value
Order Common Stock Default 2
Order Warrants and Options Default 3
Order Additional Paid in Capital Default 4
Order Cumulative translation adj Default 5
Order Retained earnings (loss) Default 6
In the Load profile, I associate this Order property with Order property for shared library.
When the import is done, everything gets loaded properly, except for the SORT ORDER. The sort order is alphabetical. So the above members look like this
Additional Paid in Capital
Common Stock
Cumulative translation adj
Retained earnings (loss)
Warrants and Options
instead of being in the sort order mentioned above.
Thanks.

11.1.X Missing Mapping Option Import Dimension via Interface Tables

Greetings Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I have two Generic dimensions that I have created within the Shared Library. The issue that I'm having is that whenever I create a new profile for these two dimensions, there is never an option to Merge or Replace the dimension. I always have to "create new dimension" even though these dimensions exist within my shared library. This causes a problem because, I have to always perform a replace and it looks like be default, when creating a new dimension, it merges whatever values I have within the interface tables into the existing dimension.
Thanks,
Tammy Bian

What version of 11 are you using? There's a bug w/ 11.1.1.2 and attribute dimensions. I don't think it matters if you're using interface tables or ads files. The bug is as follows:
"Bug 8580222 - SUBSEQUENT DEPLOYMENT MAY DELETE AN ATTRIBUTEDIMENSION FROM PLANNING. This issue has been addressed in 11.1.1.2.02 service fix".
We applied the following patches this past weekend and they addressed the issue:
Planning 11.1.1.2.01 (required for the Planning .02 patch)
Planning 11.1.1.2.02 (this fixes the issue with attribute dimensions)
EPMA 11.1.1.2.01 (required for the Planning patch)
APS 11.1.1.2.01 (required for the Planning patch)
Hope this helps,

Rejecting a moving member when using interface tables

Hi,
I'm using the interface tables to update some of my dimensions in EPMA.
My problem is that I want the process to reject members when they are moved, and I can't do that.
Let me explain a little bit more: if I have a product A under a parent X, and that in the next load, A is specified under Y, then I want the process to fail with a message like this: "the member cannot be created because it already exists under another parent".
Right now what it does is that it create the new A under Y and the A under X as shared member. I've tried to change the settings of my profile: I change Merge as Primary for 'replace' but that's not what I want. I tried 'Move' but it's not what I want. I tried to set my IsPrimary column as blank string, doesn't change anything.
Does anyone know how to do that ? Basically, we want to make sure that no product are moved by mistake. Any movement should be performed manually by the admin in the dimension library before interfacing.
Thanks for your help.
Cyril

I used only IM_Dimension & HS_Account_Hierarchy table to load data and that worked.
But now, if I want to give option to user to select the Load_Id while importing, IM_Load_Info needs to be populated.
The problem arises at the time when you try to insert data in IM_Load_Info. Even if we clear data from the table it generates next sequential Load_ID from previously deleted record. For eg. Load_Id in IM_Dimension & hierarchy table is 1, then for the same record in IM_Load_Info can have Load_id as 14.
Now user can select 14 while importing but cannot import any data since all records are having Load_Id as 1.
I am still not able to resolve/handle this problem

EPMA very slow to import large dimension from interface tables

I am attempting to import a dimension into the master library from the EPMA interface tables. The dimension is roughly 255,000 members. The import from the interface tables into an empty dimension member is taking close to 3 hours. CPU utilization on the EPMA server is a steady 6% (epma_server.exe) for the entire time. We are on 11.1.2.1.001 of EPMA. The rest of the suite is at 11.1.2.1. The dimension generic type. I have had the same result when importing into a local dimension. The performance degrades after about 6000 members.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

I have found my answer from EPMA guide:
In addition to the dimension interface tables created by the template script, you can add interface tables for additional dimensions. For example, the template script contains one set of tables for the Entity dimension. You can add more Entity dimensions as needed. For each dimension added to the interface tables, you must also include the dimension in the IM_Dimension system table so that the dimension is available during profile creation.

Loading Dimensions using Outline Load utility in 11.1.2

Hi All,
I tried to use the Outline Load utility for loading dimensions in Planning (11.1.2). The file available is OutlineLoad.cmd.template. I tried running that but doesn't work. So i remaned it to OutlineLoad.cmd and tried but it still doesn't work. Have there been any changes regarding how to use it in 11.1.2?
Cheers,
Abhishek

Hi John and Rahul,
I navigated to the location mentioned by Rahul and entered "OutlineLoad.cmd.template". it just goes to the next line and another window opens up asking which program you want to use.
If I enter only "OutlineLoad.cmd" so that it'll return the parameters I need to give, then it says "The syntax of the command is incorrect".
What command do I need to give? Earlier in 11x, I would just enter "OutlineLoad.cmd" and it would give an error with the expected parameters.

Hi Vinodh,
Pls check if you have mapped the Alias table from Interface Area to Alias dimension in your import profile definition. And then also check if association between Alias & entity is defined.

Unable to load suppliers using interface.

Hi,
I was able to load the supplier record into the table AP_SUPPLIERS_INT. No error encountered and no .BAD files exist. When I run the Supplier Open Interface Import in apps, the screen shows the following:

Customer Coversion Using Interface Table - Error during update

I need to import customers from legacy applicatiion and is planning to use standard customer interface for that. For testing, I am able to create customers with hardcoded values. But while I try to update the same customer record (again using hard coded values), it gives me error and is not generating the error report as well. I am getting the following error during update:
racudc: ORA-20212: Enter valid Billing Fields.

Convert only the data you need. And the data you need is probably less than you think. For example, other than open invoices (invoices for which money is still owed), you probably don’t need to convert ANY old invoices. You may want to convert data on what was purchased (e.g., event registration, membership, product, etc.) but the actual details (e.g., payment type, payment date) are probably no longer significant.

Add shared members to interfaces tables

Hi guys
I need to load shared members to a generic dimension using interface tables?
How can I do it?
Regards

Hi John
Thanks for your help. I can add shared member to the generic dimension called PCM_Prod, however I am getting the following issue
at validate one application that I used:
Error : Last generation 2 member of dimension PCM_Prod is Total Productos. Expected member name "NoMember".
Error : Dimension 'PCM_Prod' does not support shared members because the dimension hierarchy type is set to 'Stored'. Member: '3032182'.
Error : Shared member '3032182' cannot exist under generation 2 ancestor member 'Total Productos' in dimension 'PCM_Prod' because it does not belong to a StoreData hierarchy. Either set the dimension-level Hierarchy Type property to 'StoreData', or else set the Hierarchy Type property of generation 2 ancestor of this member to 'StoreData'
If I upload using ADS I did not get the issue.
So I do not why using interface tables I got the error.

Can I use at command line an import dimension using table interface?

Hi guys
I am using EPMA to load some dimensions using the table interface but I want to know if it is possible to lauch it using a command line?
Regards

Hi John
I am facing a strange case, after migrate the developments that call the EPMA Batch Client uding ODI 11.1.1.7 to the test environment. I have various package that load data on the table interfaces
and in a next step call the epma batch client.
However when I execute the package, the log file is wrote. However the new customers are not loaded. But If I execute the command (Step on package) that call the epma batch client the log also
is wrote and the member is loaded.
Any suggestion about what can be happening and how I can solved.
Thanks in advance,
