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.

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
- Entity as the data load dimension,
- Account as the driver dimension and selected Rental, test_desc as the member
2. The .csv file
Entity, Rental, test_desc, Point-of-View,Data Load Cube Name
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
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\Planning\planning1>OutlineLoad /A:PLNDEV /U:xyz /M /N /I:E:/testload.csv /D:Entity /L:E:/OutlineLogs /X:E:/outlineLoad.exc
and below it the OutlineLogs :

No data rejected there, but when I tried to retrieve the data from my Planning Form or Essbase Add-In, there is no data.
Do I miss something in my step above..??
Please advise.
Thanks.

VieN

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.

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".
[Mon Nov 22 11:03:02 CST 2010] Unrecognized column header value "Point-of-View".
[Mon Nov 22 11:03:02 CST 2010] Unrecognized column header value "Data Load Cube Name".
[Mon Nov 22 11:03:02 CST 2010]Unable to obtain dimension information and/or perform a data load: Unrecognized column header value(s), refer to previous messages. (Note: column header values are case sensitive.)

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 :-
[Tue Nov 23 10:02:01 GMT 2010]Successfully located and opened input file "F:\temp\dload.csv".
[Tue Nov 23 10:02:01 GMT 2010]Header record fields: Account, Jan, Point-of-View, Data Load Cube Name

Infact those members exist in the Outline.
Any help would be appreciated.

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?

Create & Load Attribute without Outline Load Utility? Add Many Attributes?

1. Is it possible to create and load attribute dimensions without using Outline Load Utility? How?
2. What is the fastest way to create and load attribute dimensions massively? (ex. 5000 attributes)
p.s. I don't understand when John Goodwin says "reversing Planning application", could you please elaborate on that?

Error in using Outline Load Utility

HI
i am trying to export the members (metadata) of one of my dimension into csv file by using the outlineload utility of hyperion planning. The version of hyperion is 11.1.2.2
instead of creating a csv file the outline load utility throws me following exception:
"Unable to obtain dimension information and/or perform a data load: Registry: Planning product not found."
I also check the log and exception file created by the Outline Load utility which contains the following information;

this command was working fine till yesterday. for the sake of testing i try to export the metadata of another application deployed on the same sever and got the same error for that; so it shows that some thing went wrong with the whole server instead of individual application

HI,
Some additional information.
When you see this error message "Planning Product not found". Please check the logs in
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\diagnostics\logs\services, check in HyS9EPMServer-sysout.
You should be able to see the error message as " Received exception while creating connection for pool "EPMSystemRegistry": ORA-28001 the password has expired".
This is an easy way of identifying the case.

Te following options are working fine for me:
1. /M /N
2. /-H
3. /-O
But I'm not able to remove the loaded members of the respective dimension using /-R option.
We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.2 Version ,can anyone help me on this
Thanks,
Suresh.

Planning Outline data store load process finished with exceptions: not all input records were read due to errors (or an empty input file). 0 data records were read, 0 data records were processed, 0 were successfully loaded, 0 were rejected.There is some problem with the input file, its not even reading a single record.Make sure ur providing the right name and path.
other wise error would be like
*1 data records were read*, 0 data records were processed, 0 were successfully loaded, 0 were rejected.
As John mentioned, below will work for sure

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!!

How to automate the data load process using data load file & task Scheduler

Hi,
I am doing Automated Process to load the data in Hyperion Planning application with the help of data_Load.bat file & Task Scheduler.
I have created Data_Load.bat file but rest of the process i am unable complete.
So could you help me , how to automate the data load process using Data_load.bat file & task Scheduler or what are the rest of the file is require to achieve this.
Thanks

To follow up on your question are you using the maxl scripts for the dataload?
If so I have seen and issue within the batch (ex: load_data.bat) that if you do not have the full maxl script path with a batch when running it through event task scheduler the task will work but the log and/ or error file will not be created. Meaning the batch claims it ran from the task scheduler although it didn't do what you needed it to.
If you are using maxl use this as the batch
"essmsh C:\data\DataLoad.mxl" Or you can also use the full path for the maxl either way works. The only reason I would think that the maxl may then not work is if you do not have the batch updated to call on all the maxl PATH changes or if you need to update your environment variables to correct the essmsh command to work in a command prompt.

Metadata build using Outline Load utility in 11.1.2.2

I am looking to automate the process of metadata build using OutlineLoad utility using flat files (csv format).
However the Planning Server is located on UNIX machine. Is there a way the Oracle team can place files on the Planning Server (UNIX box) or can I grab the files from a shared driver ( which I think is not possible but just want to confirm).
Would like to hear from someone who has done this before.
Thanks in advance

Thanks John,
I meant that the flat files will come from relational tables and it needs to be placed on Planning Server.
You mentioned that we can use SFTP for file transfer. Can this file transfer process be automated ? I think the answer is yes but just wanted to confirm.

Load image using the loader class problem

Hi, I'm trying to load an image in a movieclip using using the following:
Load_image_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Load_image);
function Load_image(event:MouseEvent):void
    var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
    my_loader.load(new URLRequest("C:\Users\Amanda\Desktop\picture1"));
    addChild(my_loader);
When I enter just "picture1" for the location it works, but like this it is giving me the following error: Error #2000: No active security context. How can I go about this, as I want to have a picture which in a separate location from that of the flash file?
I would also like to have the image located in a particular location (x,y) of the movieclip, is this possible? thanks in advance.

I am using the following code:
function AddViewDetails(event:ListEvent):void
var mc:MovieClip=new Additional_Req_Info(); // where Additional_Req_Info is the class name
addChild(mc);
var clickedName:String = event.currentTarget.name;
trace (clickedName);      /////prints Current_Req_List
var instanceName:String = clickedName + (Current_Req_List.selectedIndex + 1);
trace (instanceName); /////prints Current_Req_List1, Current_Req_List2, etc depending on list item selected
if(!getChildByName(instanceName)){
var classRef:Class=Class(getDefinitionByName(instanceName));
trace (classRef);   ////not printed
var mc:MovieClip=new classRef();
mc.name=instanceName;
trace (mc.name);   ////not printed
And its giving me the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Current_Req_List1 is not defined.
at global/flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()
at Websiteversion4_Scene1_fla::MainTimeline/AddViewDetails()[Websiteversion4_Scene1_fla.Main Timeline::frame1:185]
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()

How can I define the list items if they are dynamically generated i.e. at runtime? thanks!!!

I don't find any problem if you invoke the SQLLDR using the below command(and if you are certain that the control file resides in the C: drive).
sqlldr scott/tiger@genuat control =c:\emp.ctl
If this doesn't work then invoke the SQLLDR from the C: prompt itself.
sqlldr scott/tiger@genuat control=emp.ctl
It would locate the control file and check whether the sqlldr completes successfully?
