Loading HFM Periodic data

I just wanted to know if it is possible to load periodic data to HFM through ODI in the same manner you can export? I am loading budget data from a flat file and wanted to know if I can do it all in one interface or if I will have to package up several interfaces to get the same result
Thanks

Bear in mind that base data in the underlying HFM tables is always stored as YTD and any display of periodic data is derived from these base YTD values. If you are loading the data you will therefore need to transform the periodic data in ODI so that it loads cumulatively on a monthly basis to load as YTD

Periodic Data Extract from HFM

Does anyone have any tips/suggestions for extracting periodic data out of HFM? Currently in our application we are loading year to date data from Oracle into HFM using FDM. When we go to extract periodic data in the application it skips over the ghost numbers that are generated in HFM. In order for the data to be complete though we need those ghost numbers to come out in the extract file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The ghost numbers I am referring to are ones generated in HFM. For example on an income statement if you load $1,000 as the January YTD Balance and load $0 as the February YTD Balance, HFM will create a ghost (gray) $-1000 to make the February YTD Balance truly Zero. I need to somehow extract that -1000 amount to make a true periodic data file that will be loaded into Hyperion Planning. Thanks!

HFM - Ownership Data Load error

Hi All,
I am running in to errors when trying to load ownership data for the year 2014 using load tasks under Tasks Folder. I made sure the file has the right format of data with all the dimensions included and I checked the File contains the ownership data tab. I tried loading using both merge and replace options but looks like it does not work.
The data gets scanned with no errors but when I try to load it, it shows 25% processed and status as completed which is weird and when I try to extract it, it gives zero records..
I was able to successfully extract and load ownership data for the current and previous years with out issues..
Are there any flags that I need to make sure to open in order to load the ownership data for future years? I tried opending the periods and the year for which I am loading the data but it does not work.
Please help!!
Thanks a lot!!

Hi Thanos,
Thanks for the reply!!
Yes, I tried extracting some ownership data for the years 2013 and 2012 and I was successful in loading the data back.
I extracted the 2013 ownership data updated the year to 2014 and month to Jan and try to load it back then I am getting these errors.. same with for year 2015 and future years..
The format of the load file looks correct as I was able to load for previous years with the updated ownership data with no errors..
I killed the HFM process on the app server and tried to load it back but still could not succeed.
Any suggestions.. please help...
Thanks again!!

'Overlapping Time Intervals' error while loading the Master Data

Guys,
          Need you help with this. I am trying to load the Master Data (attribute) for InfoObject 0FMD_FRSITM using DTP from DataSource 0FMD_FRSITM_ATTR and am getting an error 'Overlapping Time Intervals'.
This is happening due to overlapping Valid From/Valid To date's for the same Financial Statement Item (0FMD_FRSITM) with different Editions.
If I select the option 'Ignore Duplicate Records' while loading the data, it is successful. But not all the records are loads and Editions are missing.
Below is an example of how the data looks like.
FRSITM         Valid To                  Valid From                 Edition
1001             12/31/9999             04/01/2010                2010.1.1
1001             01/31/2010             03/01/2010                2010.1.2
1001             12/31/9999             02/01/2010                2010.1.3
In the above scenario, the Valid To Data for record 1 and record 3 is the same (12/31/9999) and the record 3 is being ignore when I select the option 'Ignore Duplicate Records'.
And also I see that the Edition is not the Key Field.
Any suggestions or ideas? Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

FRSITM Valid To Valid From Edition
1001 12/31/9999 04/01/2010 2010.1.1
1001 01/31/2010 03/01/2010 2010.1.2
1001 12/31/9999 02/01/2010 2010.1.3
1. While selecting ignore duplicate, make sure to-date is not part of symantic key.
2. if system comes across two same records it picks up the latest one.
3. It shall merge the timelines is overlap is found.
4. I hope Edition is time dependent attribute
I believe infoobjet key is FRSITM Valid To.
In your case because first record has more period and may be the latets record system ignore the earlier one with the same time interval.
have a look at Q table and you shall be able to figure out for your self.
Hope it helps

In Log-shipping what is load delay period on secondary server - Skipping log backup file since load delay period has not expired ....

During logshipping, job on secondary server is ran successfully BUT give this information
"Skipping log backup file since load delay period has not expired ...."
What is this "Load delay period" ? Can we configure this somehow, somewhere ?
NOTE : The value on "Restore Transasction Log tab", Delay Restoring backups at least = Default (zero minutes)
Thanks

How to get the LSBackup, LSCopy, and LSRestore jobs back in sync...
Last I posted the issue was that my trn backups were not being copied from Primary to Secondary.
I found upon further inspection of the LS related tables in MSDB the following likely candidates for adjustment:
1) dbo.log_shipping_monitor_secondary, column last_copied_file
change last copied file column to something older than the file that is stuck. For example, the value in the table was
E:\SQLLogShip\myDB_20140527150001.trn
I changed last_copied_file to E:\SQLLogShip\myDB_20140525235000.trn. Note that this is just a made up file name that is a few minutes before the actual file that I would like to restore (myDB_2014525235428.trn). 4 mins and 28 seconds before, to
be exact.
LSCOPY runs and voila! now it is copied from primary to secondary. That appears to be the only change needed to get the copy going again.
2) For LSRestore, see the MSDB table dbo.log_shipping_monitor_secondary, change
last_restored_file
again I used the made up file E:\SQLLogShip\myDB_20140525235000.trn
LSRESTORE runs and my just copied myDB_2014525235428.trn is restored
** note that
dbo.log_shipping_secondary_databases also has a last_restored_file column - this did not seem to have any effect, though I see that it updates after completing the above and LSRestore has run successfully, so now it is correct as well
3) LSBackup job is still not running, the job still has a last run date in the future. Could just leave it and eventually it will come right, but I made a fairly significant time change, plus it's all an experiment....back to MSDB.
look at dbo.sysjobs, get the job_id of your LSBackup job
edit dbo.sysjobschedules - change next_run_date next_run_time as needed to a datetime before the current time, or when you would like the job to start running.
I wouldn't be so cavalier with data that was important, but that's the benefit of being in Test, and it appears that these time comparisons are very rudimentary - a value in the relevant log shipping table and the name of the trn file. That said, if you
were facing a problem of this nature due to lost trn files, corrupted, or some similar scenario, this wouldn't fix your problem, though it _might_ allow you to continue? But in my case I know I have all the trn files, it's just the time that changed, in this
case on my Primary server, and thus the names of the trn logs got out sync.

Loading Non-Financial Data in Essbase

I am new to Essbase and would some help understanding how I would load non-financial data into Essbase. The specific type of data that I'm looking to report on is from a university, reporting on the number of students that fall into various categories. I consider that this project would be similar to an employee reporting application. The project was originally implemented using OBIEE, but I was wondering how it could be done in Essbase.
Thanks for any help,
Mark

My recommendation is to model the database in excel with the following restrictions:
1) Use a single data grid (per sheet) with consistent "dimensions" for rows and columns, and an overall "header" to represent the entire set if more than one sheet is needed.
2) Establish subtotals and totals with any appropriate formulas kept as simple as possible (i.e. SUM(range)).
3) Use unique, meaningful names for all headers.
This is an oversimplification, but if you can model your database this way, you will have a direct baseplate to use when creating the database in Essbase. You may have to make some changes, but you'll have a good start.
A suggestion on the initial dimensionality based on what you said:
- Accounts
- Students
- Classes
- Categories
- Periods
If you can put a pivot table together with the data, you are nearly done already (well, mostly).

LO Extraction - Help required to load missing Purchasing data

Hi,
We are using 2 Data Sources: 2LIS_02_ITM & 2LIS_02_SCL to load the Purchasing data in to Info Cube: ZPUR_C01. While comparing the Invoice Amount for the periods 11.2007 & 12.2007, we found the variation between BW and SAP R/3 data.
In this scenario, do we need to delete the set up tables and fill the set up tables in R/3 side and perform RE-INIT of InfoCube in BW side?
OR
There is possibility to load the data in set up tables in period wise in R/3 side? If it is possible, i can delete the data from InfoCubes for the periods 11.2007 & 12.2007 using Selective deletion and load the data in to InfoCube for the same periods. Please let me know.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Venkata

Hi Venkat,
First you need to know how ur period is derived, is it based on (EKKO-AEDAT) or (EKPO-AEDAT). If period is derived from EKKO-AEDAT you can delete data from cubes period by period and have to fill setup tables based on Doc. date for those periods. And you have to do full repair loads. Make sure that during that time no one creates/changes/GR/IR for those period PO's. Otherwise they again comes in delta load and values will be summed up.
hope this will help.
Thanks, Vamsee

Loading new master data

Hi experts!!!
I am going to load new master data in our BI.Our BI consists of some cubes and DSOs which have data from past 3 years and which are based on old master data.Now the Master Data is completely changed to new values and will be loaded into our BI.I have following doubt regarding this:
From past three years the transaction data that is loaded into our cubes and DSOs is based on Old Master data.Now if I suddenly load NEW master data values,what will happen to this old transaction data loaded until today?I can imagine that once I load new values,from now onwards,transaction data will be based on new values only.The question is what will happen to the old transaction data ?
Please assume both cases of Time Independent Master data and Time Dependent Master data while reading my question.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Case1 (normal case, happens frequently) - Only attributes of master data has changed.
Your transaction data would reflect the old master data when you have master data lookups or reads on master data table (P, Q tables for time indep/time dep MD) for populating master data in the transaction data flow.
In case just the attributes on the master data objects like Customer/Material have changed and these are used at the query level, the queries would show the new attribute values. In case the time validity/dependency has changed, the new time validity takes effect. For e.g Person X is respnsible for cost center A from 01/01/2010 till 31/12/2012. Now MD gets changed and Person Y is responsible for Cost Center A from 01.01.2011 till 31/12/2015. If the report is run now, the person Y would be shown in the report.
Case 2 - The master data has big changes in the source system. for e.g. Cust 10000 is now 11111 or material 12345 is now 112233.
In these cases your historical transaction data would be showing old master data.
For e.g Person X is respnsible for cost center A from 01/01/2010 till 31/12/2012. Now Cost center A is changed to B and person Y is responsible for the same period. Old transactions with Cost center A shows X as responsible and new transactions with Cost center B shows Y as responsible.
Even if your master data has changed completely, there would not be any affect on the existing transaction data....as new master data entries would be written to the tables and the existing master data remains.

Defautl user has no rights to load or extract data

Hi,
i just provisioned a new user with default and other rights. In windows client he can load or extract data etc. But it doesn't work in workspace. There's no drop down list under "Task", like load Task or extract Task etc. According to the HFM admin guide, user with default right should have standard rights like load or extract task. Did I something wrong?
Has anyone some idea?

How to get period date of for a given month from a given date in mdx for SSRS report (mm/dd/yyyy)

I have a situation, where i need to write expression Period to date(PTD). i want to know how to get the period date. i want you to help in writing Period date or else is there any function to get period date for a given date(the date is given
from the parameter dynamically) in MDX for SSRS report
ram

Hi ram,
Per my understanding that you want to get the period date based on the month selected and the given date, right?
Could you please provide details information below to help us better understanding your requirements, thus we will be more effective to provide an solution:
What is the format of the period date you want to get, is this date in the DB and you want to filter it based on the month and the given Date?
Did the month and given date are two parameters in the report? if possible, could you please provide some sample data in the DB and also the snapshot of the report structure
I assume you want to get the period date(mm/dd/yyy) between the select month(e.g:Feb) and the given date (10/1/2014) and you should get the date between(02/01/2014-10/1/2014).
If so,and you also have two parameter "Month","EndDate"(EndDate is the given date), please reference to details information below:
You can create an new parameter "BeginDate" (Date/Time) which is the begin date of the period, you can use the expression to get the value based on the value of the month and the year value from the given date,finally hide this parameter:
Specify the available value:
Label:=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value)
Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
Specify the default Value:
Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
Add filter to the dataset as below:
Preview you will get all the date in the given Period:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Data Refresh Error: We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.

Hello,
Recently I have developed a PowerBI Report using Excel Workbook with external data source. It refreshes successfully for some days and then starts throwing error on every scheduled refresh as "We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data
Model."
The workaround solution is to restart the application server which has SQL Server Power Pivot Services Installed which will again work for some more days and again start throwing error.
So, I am looking for permanent fix for it.
Following are additional details about our SP Farm:
No. of front end servers: 2, Application servers:2, DB servers 2 with windows fail over cluster.
PowerPivot Server is installed and configured from App 2 server.

PowerPivot Data Refresh Fails - We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model

Hello,
I have installed sql01\PowerPivot instance of Analysis services on my existing SQL Server and configured it per Configure Power Pivot for SharePoint 2013
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn456880(v=office.15).aspx . I did not install a second Database Engine on the server.
I created an Excel 2013 workbook using the Excel 2013 PowerPivot add-in and saved it to my SharePoint BI Center Document library.
When I try to refresh my workbook, I get 2 errors in the SharePoint log.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2756665?wa=wsignin1.0 indicates the sproc is deprecated, but that does not help me fix the issue.
Log errors:

Hi Marcel,
Based on my research, it seems that you have Microsoft SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 add-in installed on a computer. When you perform a data refresh operation on some PowerPivot workbooks in Microsoft SharePoint 2013, you receive two error
message.
As to the first error, this issue occurs because the Custom Properties on the Excel workbook are not correctly cleared before you set a new serialized schedule. This causes an extra custom property to remain after you set the new schedule. Therefore, the
new schedule fails. To fix this issue, please
install Cumulative Update 9 for SQL Server 2012 SP1.
As to the second error, please
running a repair using PowerPivot configuration wizard for SharePoint 2013. For more information about Troubleshooting PowerPivot Data Refresh, please see:

XEM - Unable to load the initial data or the variances(delta) data into sys

I am installing xEM 2.0 SP 10 (SAP xApp Emissions Management) in a windows environment with SQL 5000. I installed xEM on NW 2004, usage types AS Java and EP 6.
I am attempting to load the initial data or the variances (delta) data into the system. Instruction is on page 15 in the install guide.
I am supposed to enter the following in the command line:
java -Djava.ext.dirs=. -jar SAPtrans.jar import logfile=import.log datafile=init.dat connectstring=[JDBC Driver];[JDBCUrl];[User];[Password]

My last attempt was a command using colons and semicolons with the following results. The closest (there was a significant delay before the error or failure) appears to have been //PRODSQL43;SQL3:1534; (second attempt). The error listed from this attempt is   "Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect".
I also checked the default database that user SAPPEMDB has in place and it is assign the correct database.
Please help.

Hey,
It looks like one of the following:
1. The DB is down,
2. The user SAPPEMDB does not have the right authorization.
3. The password of the user SAPPEMDB is not password
4. The syntax is incorrect
in order to find what is the problem,
please:
1. Login in the the DB PRODSQL43:1534 with the user "SAPPEMDB" and the password "password",
this will eliminate the options 1 - DB down, 2 -SAPPEMDB does not have authorization and 3 - password of the user SAPPEMDB is not password.
2. If the login failed, than please run sql trace with security elements (in the client there is a tool called "SQL Profiler"
3. If the login is correct, than you check the syntax of the command:
"java -Djava.ext.dirs=. -jar SAPtrans.jar import logfile=import.log datafile=init.dat connectstring=com.ddtek.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver; jdbc:datadirect:sqlserver://vma03:1433;SAPC11DB;password"
According to the error message "Error establishing socket. Connection refused"
it looks like The DB is down or syntax is incorrect.

External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. ThisWorkBookDataModel

Hi All,
I have been trying to fix this for days now. I have tried solutions in many articles but to no avail. So while the error message is something you may have seen may times, I just can't find a solution in my case.
This is the error:
And in text just in case the image isn't viewable:
"External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh: ThisWorkBookDataModel."
What is worse is I have checked the ULS (SharePoint Trace Logs), the Event Viewer Logs and the OWA Logs and I cannot find a specific error that would help pin point the problem.
Excel Workbook
So what am I doing? I have an Excel 2013 workbook and I create an "SQL Server" connection to the AdventureWorksDW database, add a pivot table and a pivot chart, test in in Excel and all works fine.
I save the Excel workbook to SharePoint 2013 and then select "Data" then "Refresh All Connections" and then I get the error in the picture above.
Even more puzzling is I have another Excel workbook that also has pivot tables and pivot charts in the AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional cube database in "SQL Analysis Services" and this works fine. Hmmm.
My Environment
My environment is Windows 2008 R2 Server, SharePoint 2013 with the April Service Pack1 and a separate server with OWA2013 SP1. It has an SQL Server 2008 R2 database which has been upgraded to SQL Server 2012.
Data Model Settings
In Excel Services this is set to my server name which is "server-name". As I do not have instances all I can enter is the server name. As this works everywhere else including the workbook outside of SharePoint I do not think this is the problem.
But I could be wrong.
Unattended Account
I have set this up for the PowerPivot Services App and Excel Services App.
ODC Connections in Excel
I have tried all 3 authentication modes, Windows, Secure Store ID and "None" which is the unattended account. I have not tried the other connection types, should I?
Not in WOPI
I am not in WOPI mode.
AD Accounts
I have added permissions in the SharePoint Services and SQL Server, and as they work in Excel outside of SharePoint, I do not think it is a permissions issue. I could be wrong of course, but the problem is in one of SharePoint, OWA, AD,
SQL Server, Excel, and Windows Server.
Isolate the Error
Below is a list of errors I think are relevant but they do not tell me much. The SharePoint logs are not really giving me an error that tells me what to do and where to do it, or even why it cannot refresh, (perhaps not noticeable by the untrained eye).
Problem with SQL Server Not Analysis Services
So my cube database in analysis services works fine in SharePoint/OWA but not the databases in sql server. This is my best clue but I have no idea what it means. Why would it work with an Analysis Services connection but not an "SQL Server" connection?
It Works Outside of SharePoint
If I run the excel worksheet outside of SharePoint all works fine. When inside OWA this is where the refresh error occurs.
Errors from Event Viewer on SharePoint Server using ULS Viewer
"Failed to create an external connection or execute a query. Provider message: There are no servers available or actively being initialized., ConnectionName: , Workbook:"
"Refresh failed for 'ThisWorkbookDataModel' in the workbook 'http://server...'. [Session: 1.V22.26itT0lx8piNFeqtuGVhN214.5.en-US5.en-US36.98c0e158-9113-46e9-850e-edda81d9ed1c1.A1.N User: 0#.w|ad\testuser1]"
And an error in the ULS under the "Data Model" category:
"--> Check Deployment Mode (server-name): Fail (Expected: SharePoint, Actual: Multidimensional)."
This last error, as it turned out, defined the problem concisely, although I was yet to work out what it meant in some detail.

I finally solved this myself (or should I say with the help of several key articles).
The refresh did not work because the database was not in "SharePoint Mode". Yes, SQL Server has modes, 3 of them in fact.
If you installed SharePoint to the default SQL instance which would be called <servername> then you cannot use this default instance for Excel 2013 workbooks in OWA 2013 because the refresh only works if the database is in SharePoint mode.
So what are these 3 modes? The Deployment Mode property in the msmdsrv.ini file has them as:
0 = Multidimensional mode (the default whenever you install SQL Server normally)
1 = PowerPivot for SharePoint mode
2 = Tabular mode mode
How do you know what mode you are in? That's easy, open SQL Studio Manager and connect to all your SQL database engine instances (ignore Analysis Services or SSRS as they are not database engines). If you only have the default instance then that is almost
definately in Multidimensional mode which is the default and what SharePoint installs its databases to.
You must have an instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT. This instance is the "sharepoint mode" needed, and the default instance name when you install an SQL instance in this mode.
If you don't see <servername>\POWERPIVOT in SQL server then you are not in "sharepoint mode". It is more accurate to say, you do not have an instance that is in sharepoint mode. This is because you cannot simply switch modes on an SQL server.
You have to install a new instance in the required mode, thats the only way.
That's easy enough. Load up the SQL Server setup CD and run setup. Install a brand new instance and select "SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint" when you get there in the wizard.
Now you will have the default instance that stores all the SharePoint databases and that is in mode 0, and a new instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT that is in mode 1. The "<servername>\POWERPIVOT" instance connection is what you
will use for Excel 2013 when rendering in OWA 2013.
You also need to ensure OWA 2013 is not in WOPI mode for Excel worksheets. See the last link below for more information about WOPI.
Next you should go to the Excel Service App in CA and click Data Model Settings and add the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance.
Then you have to either turn off the firewall on the SQL server machine, or create an inbound rule on the Windows firewall to open the TCP port for the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance:
1. Start Task Manager and then click Services to get the PID of the MSOLAP$InstanceName.
2. Run netstat –ao –p TCP from the command line to view the TCP port information for that PID.
Finally, you can now create Excel 2013 workbooks that run in OWA without refresh errors, as long as you are connecting to the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance. Hooray.

I have forgotten my iPhone backup password. Is there a way of getting it as I am trying to load my old data from iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5?

If on a Mac, and you elected to save such to your Keychain, you can recover it from your Keychain. Otherwise, you can't.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
