Loading large "smartlist" to Classic Planning 11.1.1.2

Hi,
Anyone know a quick way to load large smartlists to Planning in version 11.1.1.2? The outlineload utility does not support smartlists in v11.1.1.2 :(
Thanks

How about LCM? if you run an export then update the xml then import back in, though it should definitely worth considering upgrading or even applying the maintenance release.
Cheers

  • ODI: Load metadata into EPMA ("non-classic") Planning app

    Hi all, I know about loading metadata to classic planning/essbase application, but tell me please if its possible to load metadata to non-classic planning app (I mean created in Architect (in application library) and see it in dimension library?
    maybe there is some workaround for this situation
    thanks in advance

    Version 11.1.1.0.0. We have successfullly used EPMA Interface Tables to manage our planning metdata. We went this direction to avoid introducting another ETL/ELT tool (ODI) into our clients infrastructure. At the time, we didn't realize that ODI was not supported for EPMA (only Classic). I'm thinking of logging an SR to confirm if this limitation will be addressed in a later version of planning. The EPMA administrators guide provided enough detail to help us get started with Interface tables. The one area that created an issue for us was how EPMA ordered the load of members in the EPMA Interface Hierarchy table. Parent members need to be loaded before children. If this ordering is not followed , you will get "Orphan" errors. We could not find a documented process to control the load order, so we need to devise a workaround. Our workaround involved creating a view against the EPMA Interface table to order the retrieval of members so that parents appeared before their children. The Oracle CONNECT BY clause works well to handle this requirement. To make this view visible to EPMA you'll need
    to replace the base hierarchy table with the view by updating the EPMA IM_DIMENSION table. EX:
    update IM_DIMENSION set C_HIERARCHY_TABLE_NAME = 'HS_Entity_Hierarchy_VW' where C_DIMENSION_NAME = 'Entity';
    Alternate hierarchies also require separate EPMA Import profiles. Since only one set of EPMA Interface tables can be used to load a single dimension, you'll need a process that does the following for each alternate hierarchy.
    1) Clear EPMA Interface Tables
    2) Load EPMA Interface Tables
    3) Execute EPMA Import Script
    Finally, it's not clear how the I_LOAD_ID column (i.e. load id) is initialized in EPMA Interface tables (by default it's NULL). A load id is somehow assigned each time a Import profile is executed. A load id can be used (among other critiera) to clear EPMA interface tables. However, when I execute a Import profile, EPMA did not assign a load id (I_LOAD_ID was still null). Not sure if I_LOAD_ID is user assigned and is static? Again, very little documentation on how to manage the load id (what is user defined verses what is managed by EPMA).

    With your help, I can verify it easier rather than creating dataform to verify it.
    I have resolved the question now, the root cause is I had used the wrong parameter, shouldn't add '/N' in the command. for /N is a dry run to check whether there are error in CSV file, it won't perform metadata load.
    If no error occured, run the command without /N, then the metadata load will be performed.

  • OutlineLoad utility for Classic Planning v11.1.2

    Hi All,
    I am using OutlineLoad.cmd utility to build dimensions for classic planning applications in v11.1.2. The utility works fine and loads dimension on my sandbox environment.

  • Can you copy Classic Planning Applications?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to take an existing Classic Planning application, and make a copy (or duplicate version) of it? For Essbase applications, this is a simple process in EAS, just right click the application and hit Copy. However, while this method will copy a Planning applicaiton's outline in EAS and nominally show a new application in Enterprise View, it does not actually create another application in the Planning workspace. This makes sense, because the process for creating Planning Applications is not done in EAS. There are two questions I have, and an answer to either would be appreciated. First, is it even possible to make a copy of a Classic Planning Application, in order to allow two different admins to work seperately in two independent applications that both begin with the same dimensions, outline hierarchy, data forms, task lists, user provisions, and initial data set? Second, if it is possible, what is the process, or could someone point me in the direction of where I may find this in guides? Thank you.

    Thanks,
    I am a bit confused by what you mean when you say "replace SQL repository". I am not very experienced in this area, I am using SQL Developer to access the RDBMS. Could you explain what the steps are for this? I can find the tables that are created when a new Planning App is made, but I'm not sure what they mean, so the more specific you can be, the more helpful it would be.
    Also, when in Shared Services, I select the artifacts I want to migrate, and then click Define Migration, bringing up the Migration Wizard. However, after I select the source (which is the Old Planning App), I click next to select the target, and the screen goes blank white and seems to be stuck. I can exit out of the screen, but I have let it load for 20 minutes now several times, and it just stays on this blank white screen, like the Migration Wizard has frozen. Any ideas of what might be causing the Migration Wizard to go blank?
    *Additional note:  I am also no longer able to check the Artifacts box for Relational Data in Shared Services for any of my applications, and am not able to open up the Tree to expand it.  The artifacts for Plan Type, Configuration, Global Artifacts etc. can still be selected.

  • Classic Planning applications vs PMA Applications

    Hello Experts,
    "For Classic Planning applications, databases are created and maintained within Planning. For
    Performance Management Architect applications, applications are created in Performance
    Management Architect and deployed to Planning."
    Can anyone explain me, what is better to install --> Classic Planning Application or Performance Management Architect Application? Which is easier to work, what are the advantages and disadvantages? I´ve planned to install Planning 11.1.1.3.
    Thanks a lot!

    Here is my 2 cents.
    I just did EPMA and was told by many that they aren't using it or haven't used it so didn't have much back up.
    But I have to tell you I like EPMA much better that Classic planning once you get the hang of it. Also this is where Oracle is going with the product you might as well jump on the band wagon sooner rather than later (ie get used to Classic Planning then having to make the switch).
    I find that Classic Planning requires a lot of clicks to get some stuff done and is a bit more streamline in EPMA.
    That said EPMA still needs a lot of work. For example your Alias are kind of hidden in Dimension mode. Where I would rather the default be visible instead of having to go to alias and hit F2 to see 1 or all of them.
    One of the biggest reasons I like EPMA is Calc Manager. Business Rules sucks if you have to do a lot of calc (way way too many clicks). So as soon as I saw the power of Calc Manager I will never go back to Classic planning and business rules.
    Still EPMA is where things are going so you should go there first unless you find a bug then fall back to classic.
    One approach people have done though is to create the environment in classic planning and migrate it to EPMA. But if you don't know classic just load direct to EPMA in my opinion.
    Let's see what others say.

  • Metadata from epma Planning application to classic Planning application?

    Hi!
    I am creating a new classic planning application, but I would like to use all the metadata from existing epma application.
    I'm wondering whether it is possible to get metadata from an  existing epma planning application to a classic application? Is this possible using LCM?
    Or do I just need to get an ads file from the epma planning application and then create a csv file that I would then  load into this new classic app using for example OutlineLoad utility.
    edit: version 11.1.2.2
    kind regards,
    user637777

    You should be able to export the metadata from the planning application using LCM, you could also see if the outlineload utility will let you export, can't remember if it allows it even if it is EPMA enabled.
    Cheers

  • Support for Classic planning applications

    Hi,

  • Loading large files in Java Swing GUI

    Hello Everyone!
    I am trying to load large files(more then 70 MB of xml text) in a Java Swing GUI. I tried several approaches,
    1)Byte based loading whith a loop similar to
    pane.setText("");
                 InputStream file_reader = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream
                           (file));
                 int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;
                 byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
                 int bytesRead;
                 String line;
                 while ((bytesRead = file_reader.read(buffer, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)) != -1)
                      line = new String(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                      pane.append(line);
                 }But this is gives me unacceptable response times for large files and runs out of Java Heap memory.
    2) I read in several places that I could load only small chunks of the file at a time and when the user scrolls upwards or downwards the next/previous chunk is loaded , to achieve this I am guessing extensive manipulation for the ScrollBar in the JScrollPane will be needed or adding an external JScrollBar perhaps? Can anyone provide sample code for that approach? (Putting in mind that I am writting code for an editor so I will be needing to interact via clicks and mouse wheel roatation and keyboard buttons and so on...)
    If anyone can help me, post sample code or point me to useful links that deal with this issue or with writting code for editors in general I would be very grateful.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I'm replying to your question from another thread.
    To handle large files I used the new IO libary. I'm trying to remember off the top of my head but the classes involved were the RandomAccessFile, FileChannel and MappedByteBuffer. The MappedByteBuffer was the best way for me to read and write to the file.
    When opening the file I had to scan through the contents of the file using a swing worker thread and progress monitor. Whilst doing this I indexed the file into managable chunks. I also created a cache to further optimise file access.
    In all it worked really well and I was suprised by the performance of the new IO libraries. I remember loading 1GB files and whilst having to wait a few seconds to perform the indexing you wouldn't know that the data for the JList was being retrieved from a file whilst the application was running.
    Good Luck,
    Martin.

    Hi Babu,
    The file format should be same as you want to upload. The sequence of File format should be same communication structure.
    Like,
    Initial columns with Characteristics (ex: plant,location,customer,product)
    date column (check for data format) (ex: calander)
    Last columsn with Key figures (history qty)
    Hope this helps.

  • Flash Builder 4.5 Hangs When Loading Large Projects

    I recently upgraded from Flash Builder 4.0 to Flash builder 4.5.  I am running the 32 bit version of Eclipse Helios on windows 7, 64 bit.  I have installed the latest 32 bit Java build, jdk1.6.0_25
    Smaller projects and libraries appear to build and run fine.  However when I attempt to load my main application, which is quite large, Eclipse Hangs for several minutes.  Occasionally it will return after some time, but as soon as I move the mouse cursor again it hangs again.  The last attempt had 1.8 Gigs of memory allocated to the eclipse process before I killed it.
    Some other things I have noticed.
    *) 4.5 does appear to be more sluggish for me generally than 4.0 for the demo apps I have built to test weather or not the install is working
    *) If I do not attempt to actually open any files, I am able to clean the project and have it produce an executable
    *) I have "build automatically" turned off, the problem does not seem to be initiated by the build. The problem seems to be something to do with loading large mxml files or files which include large mxml files.
    *) The log files only complain about Eclipse being closed improperly (from me killing it aftter a prolonged hang) and about a collision with the ctrl+shift+G key combination
    *) I have reverted to the original 4.0 plugin and the project still builds fine
    *) Opening the stand alone flash builder 4.5 and pointing it at the same projects that work in 4.0 yields the same hanging symptoms as the 4.5 plugin version
    *) I have juiced up my Eclipse memory settings and confirmed that they work quite well for my 4.0 build.  My Eclipse.ini looks like:
    -showsplash
    org.eclipse.platform
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    256m
    -startup

    I am really interested in several of of the new 4.5 features.  Any comments / suggestions welcome.  I am out of ways I know how to trouble shoot this short of rebuilding my app up from scratch by adding components one at a time, which would take a very long time.
    If it would be at all helpful, I would be happy to drop by the San Francisco office with my laptop to trouble-shoot this
    -Chris.

    When I run the application in the memory profiler under FB 4.0 it takes
    about 80MB of RAM peak.
    I can not get the app to launch out of FB 4.5.
    I have reproduced this issue on two different machines running only Eclipse
    both stand alone and the plugin versions.
    My machine has 4GB of RAM, my typical usage is less than 2GB.
    Right now with FB 4.0 I am working on the problem project and a few sample
    projects and Eclipse is consuming about 600MB which seems normal to me.
    The confusing thing for me is that everything works fine and is responsive
    with FB 4.0 and the issue does not seem to be actually compiling the
    application, rather it has something to do with how FB is parsing my source
    code that causes the hang.  Almost like somehow a circular dependency check
    that used to work is now failing or something like that.
    I am not sure how to find out what FB 4.5 is hanging on precisely.  I can only
    see that the logs look normal and memory usage climbs out of sight while it
    is hanging.

  • Which approach is better-  EPMA vs Classic Planning App

    Hi Experts,
    I question came to me after a big discussion with one of my vendor.
    my organization is in process of migrating the V9(9.1.3) environment to EPMV11(11.1.2.1).
    Currently we have 4 Classic planning application but we are interested to leverage the EPMA feature of V11 by converting them to EPMA application as they shared some of the dimensions among themself but the vendor who is going to work on that is advising us to keep it in Classic as there is a news of sunsetting EPMA by Oracle to pramote DRM into market. just surprised me that so wanted to know the truthness of the statement.
    appreciate your comments.
    Regards,
    PK

    There seems to be lots of rumours floating around about EPMA, how much is true I think you will just have to wait and see, I have my own personal view on the product which I will keep to myself :)
    I suppose the decision to switch is to see how much benefit you will get by switching, if you are happy and that moment and everything is working well then I would question why to switch, if you will get much more functionality and benefits then consider it.
    Cheers
