Loading HFM data to Hyperion Planning using FDM

Hi All
Has anyone ever used HFM as a data source for FDM?
Someone has asked me for the best way to get data from HFM into Hyperion Planning and whether FDM can manage that. I know there is a generic Pull adapter and the ERPi but I'm not sure whether either of those will do the job.
At the moment I am assuming that they will need to extract data from HFM to flat file and then import to FDM as a 2 stage process?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Tony
Apologies for the delay (my email spammed the notification that you had replied, helpful!!). When you say that you have done it but discourage accessing the tables directly how did you achieve this? Were you just careful which data intersections your selected from the tables (e.g. always base level data so it is stored not calculated)?
I have used the HFM relational tables a couple of times to make use of the metadata that they contain but not tried to get data before.

Stuart

  • Unable to load metada into Hyperion Planning using ODI

    HI All,
    I am using ODI 11g and trying to load the metadata for Hyperion Planning application 11.1.2.1. But I couldnt load all the Product members in Product Dimension.
    Could able to load few members but was able to run the interface successfully but thrown error while loading few members(Most of the members are shared members, verified that base members existed). Please find the below error log.

  • ODI and Loading to/Extracting from Hyperion Planning **?

    All,
    first--I am not a Hyperion expert.
    Clients have 2 requirements:
    #1. Loading data ( flat file format residing in Windows environment) ''to'' Hyperion Planning 9.3.1
    #2. Extracting Data 'From' Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 to a flat file ( residing in Windows environment)
    Questions:
    #1 I have looked at materials at OBE > ( http://ias.us.oracle.com/portal/page?_pageid=33,1704614&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL)
    I have been able to reverse engineer a Hyperion application in ODI. but apparently that's not all, and there is additional work to be done in Hyperion itself
    namely---'preparing' dimensional members, before loading any data.
    Let's say the input data is comprised of: Product_code, Account_num, Period, Amount
    Can someone explain how the following recommended steps by Hyperion example can plays out to load this data?
    1) Loading Metadata? ( what needs to be added/changed in Hyperion diemnsion)
    2) Loading Data?
    #2 do we have to use ODI to create interface and extract/write data from Hyperion to a flat file? isn't there any Hyperion 'Facility' which does that?
    any pointers is appreciated.
    Thanks
    ali

    Hello,
    Unfortunately there is no SSO option from "Planning to FDM" via Tasks.
    The URL you should tell Planning to launch in a new window is 'http://<ServerName>/HyperionFDM'
    If Planning can not execute that in a fresh IE window; then there isn't much that can be done.
    It might also be advantageous to post this to the Planning group as well; since this isn't necessarily an FDM discussion.
    Thank you,

  • Load members and sort in Planning using ODI

    Is it possible to load the members and also sort all the members, after the load, when loading into Hyperion Planning using ODI? If there are new members after the previous load, the new nembers are being added at the end. I tried to sort my source but it's the same. I also had SORT_PARENT_CHILD set to Yes.
    TIA

    Hi,
    There are sometimes issues with the sorting using the parent/child option, I think it stems from the old days of HAL as that wasn't the best at sorting.
    The options are use the planning sort member utility or depending on how you loading the hierarchy you can order it before it is loaded, if you are using a repository you can create a view to return the members in the correct order or use an id to badge the members in the correct order.

    Where do you think the financial reports get their data from? Financial Reports pull data from data sources such as Essbase, HFM.

  • Not able to see data in Hyperion Planning data forms.

    Hi ,
    I created Hyperion planning EPMA application and loaded data in to it. But I am unable to see data in my data forms? Please give me solution for this?

    Hi,
    Here there are 2 things, once your epma heirarchy is ready did you deploy it against your planning App ? and incase if you haven't deployed your planning application, then old outline would be existing in Essbase and if you load data for old outline it will still take into but when you deploy the database gets restructured and older data gets restructured/removed.
    Before going onto that level first check if your load data to essbase completed successfully. and did you load data for the combinations on dataform ? ? Try manually inputting a number through data form and submit and do a refresh to see if value comes up. ? Check your data form settings , if you have enables suppress missing rows/blocks.
    Thanks

    There are three ways you can load Master Data in BPC
    1) Copy and paste.
    Download master data in flat file .Copy the  master data and paste in members of dimension after that process the dimension.
    2) Using SISS Pakage - load Flat File into BPC-Cube

    Venkat,
    Based on our web session your production BEA license has not been installed and your production server is limiting the number of unique connections to five clients. Those first five clients who connected to the system.
    As we proved in the web session Internet Explorer gets a 403 error and Firefox shows the root cause of the five license issue.
    You may verify this by looking at the license.bea file on your servers and you will see it is an evaluation license. Being a licensed Hyperion customer entitles your company to use a restricted use WebLogic in a non-clustered environment. Below is the proper license.
    The fix for this is to do the following:
    1) Download a license code from Oracle
    2) Go to http://licensecodes.oracle.com/bea.html
    3) Download LIC-WLXB92
    4) On your server(s) backup <BEA_DIRECTORY>\license.bea
    5) Copy text file within the LIC-WLXB92 over the license.bea file
    6) Restart your Hyperion Services

  • Problem loading data to Hyperion Planning app. from Oracle EBS using ERPi

    I'm using ERPi to load data to Planning application from EBS.
    I have configured Source and Target, created import formats, location, data load rules etc.
    When I'm running data load rule it is showing that data is imported and exported sucessfully. I can see data in the right format in data load workbench. ODI shows process completed sucessfully. But still there is no data loaded in Planning.
    Even AIF_HS_BALANCES staging view in ERPi repository shows correct data.
    Can some one tell me what could be the problem.
    Or where I can see logs for the data load step for Planning.
    ODI operater logs are not very clear to me. Same for log tables in ODI work repository.

When you say that you have done it but discourage accessing the tables directly how did you achieve this? Were you just careful which data intersections your selected from the tables (e.g. always base level data so it is stored not calculated)?

  • Newbie questions regarding pulling data from hyperion planning cube w/OBIEE

    Hello there,
    we've recently implemented Essbase and are currently pumping it full of revenue/expense data from out source systems to calculate NOI. This data is stored in a staging table at the detail level where it is sourced into Hyperion and aggregated. We also have OBIEE 10g (plan to upgrade to 11g later this year) and we would like to connect to and report out of Essase. Our ultimate goal is to be able to report on the NOI numbers in the planning cube but have the ability to drill down to the detail level which is not stored in Essbase. We've heard it is possible, albeit not native for OBIEE 10g to do this. We've also heard that it is not best practice to use our transactional cube for this type of reporting but to actually create a second "reporting cube".
    What are best practices for getting this NOI data out of Hyperion and merging it with our relational detail reporting? Can we somehow export the data from the cube and store it in a relational database? Should we clone the cube (if even possible) and configure both it and our relational source in the BI repository and setup all drill-throughs there?
    Any info is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
    Edited by: cisGuy on Sep 20, 2010 5:31 PM

    i have found information on how to use ODI to extract data for the cube. What I'm really trying to find out though is best practices for reporting off summary level data in Essbase with the ability to drill-through to the detail.
    We've heard reporting off the same cube that users are writing back and transacting on is bad. Do we need to make a "reporting cube" and then bring that in OBIEE and merge it with a relational source or is it better to extract the data from Essbase into flat files and join it to detail tables in our relational source?

Maybe you are looking for
