Mapping in Load rules.

Hi All,
I have a situation where I have to maintain a mapping for the product codes in my Load rule.
And this is no small list of products that I have to manually updated the mapping to my load rule.. It is huge as hell.
Now, is there any way that I can bulk upload my mappings into the load rule in Essbase?
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
TIA,
KRIS.

Not that I didn't like the answers. But, all these were our suggestions to my clients way before I posted my question in this forum.
I couldn't implement the easy methods to achieve this just because the client requirements were different.
I am sorry if I have been rude anywhere by not considering the solutions provided.
We have also tried to implement a program which edits the input file based on a mapping file we use. It was all fine for most of the products but there were hiccups at some.
That pushed us to make this exhaustive labor work to implement the mappings in the load rule. (again just because the client did not want any mapping in the outline or new outline).
I appreciate all your help and sorry once again if my responses were rude.
Thanks All,
KRIS.

Data Load Rules file - Conditional load

Hi,
I need to create a data load rules file to load sales data. The data comes at product, entity, month, year, version, scenario, account level. I need to load data only towards two of the entities, NCC and NCCCBU, i.e if the product is coming under a particular hierarchy called UK then it needs to get loaded against NCC entity member and if the product is under the CBU hierarchy it needs to be loaded against the NCCCBU entity.
All of the data comes in the same file so I need to load it in one go without splitting the file into two.
Thanks
Vikash

You can achieve this.
In the data load rule when you are mapping the entity column.
set the propperties like this:
Field properties -> Global Prpoperties
Replace with
UK NCC
CBU NCCCBU
Field properties -> Data Load Prpoperties
Map the column with entity dimension.

How to run only a load rule using ODI

Hi John,
Please let me know how to execute a rule file using ODI.
Thanks,
Sravan

Hi John,
I have a file in this format
Data
Company
Location
Costcenter
Account
And my Essbase has these dimensions
Account
Entity
CostCenter
Year
Period
In my file i need to concat Company and location to form the entity dimension in essbase. So in the interface i have done the concat. Also my Account column in file has only numeric valu which has to be prefixed with AC_ which i have done in the interface itself and loading data directly from file to essbase is succesful without using load rule.
Now i also have a load rule which is using the same file and in the load rule i am creating text filed for AC_ and joining it with account and joing the company and location fields.
Now How can i map the loadrule only with the coulmns of my target datastore(Essbase). The image referred above is a simple flatfile with straight forward one to one mapping and same thing can be used as loadrule file too.

Load Rule validates, yet no data values modified

The load rule worked on a server running an NT operating system with essbase version 6.1.3. I rebuilt the application on a server running W2k with an essbase version 6.1.6. The load rule validates on the new server. The load looks as if it is loading correctly. When I check out the log file, it shows a warning number 1003035 with a message stating "No data values modified by load of this data file." Any ideas??? Creating a new load rule from scratch did not work. My next plan of attack is to check out the actual txt file to see if anything looks odd.

Have you got any record select or record reject statements in your rules?

How to open a .csv file in a load rule

Hi All,
I am trying to open a .csv file in a load rule to find it is working correctly. But, I am not given an option to look at the .csv files when I click on "Open Data File" option from the File menu.
Please suggest.
TIA,
Vamsikrishna.

I have tried that as well.
But, It is not giving me that option, "All files".
It is just showing
Text files (*.txt),
Excel Document (*.xls),
Week1 Document (*.Wk1),
Week2 Document (*.Wk2),
Week3 Document (*.Wk3) and
Week4 Document (*.Wk4).
Please suggest.
TIA,
Vamsikrishna.

How to use a substitution variable in a load rule?

I need to use a substitution variable in a load rule in a column, as I will receive a parameter to fix the Month and Year values within the data loading, could somebody tell me if this is possible. I put an expresion "&Yearproc" in the column value but it is not working.

If you're a member of ODTUG (or even if not, you can sign up for an associate membership for free) you can download Glenn's presentation from 2009 Kaliedoscope "Little Used Features of Essbase (Like Data Mining and Triggers)" -- there is a section in that presentation on substitution variables -- he does a really good job in showing how this works.
Go to: www.odtug.com, then Tech Resources, then Essbase/Hyperion, and search for Schwartzberg. Currently it's the ninth presentation on the list -- I think this changes based on popularity of downloads.

FDMEE: EBS segments not appearing in the FDMEE Load Rule window

I have configured FDMEE to load GL data from specific E-Business 12 segments. This has been working fine.
Recently, additional segments were defined in EBS. Unfortunately, these new segments do not appear in the Load Rule box (whereas the original segments do appear).
Is there an option/trigger somewhere in FDMEE (or EBS) to force the new segments to appear in the FDMEE Load Rule selection segment box? (I have re-initialised the source system, with no effect.)
Ian

Hi,
You need to make sure that you are adding them to the Import Format defined between the Source and Target system. Have you done this yet?
Are there target dimensions in the app to point to?

Substitution variable in sql load rules file

Okay gurus,
I need a little guidance, I have to replace the value of 201020 and 2008 from substitution variables. I have created the variables and set them up globally on the essbase server.
201020 = FW00
2008 = FY00
WHERE ACT.FISCAL_WEEK_ID <= 201020
AND ACT.FISCAL_YEAR_ID > 2008
AND RTDIV.DIV IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,99) (This is the query with hard coded values of week and year)
When i m trying to put sub variables there , its throwing the error. please find below the way i was trying to do it.
WHERE ACT.FISCAL_WEEK_ID = '&FW00'
AND ACT.FISCAL_YEAR_ID = '&FY00'
But unfortunately, its throwing error Error: 1021001 Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
I know that this is the generic error because if i put the hard coded value in sql load rules it works fine.
Is it the right way to out sub var in sql load rules???
Please advice and thanks in advance.

Hi Genn,
I tried to see the app log for sql but i m afraid that there is nothing in there, the only error message which I am getting in app log is this:
Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
Its an ASO cube and initially i was using the variable as FY00 AS "2008" it did not work and than i tried without quotes in variable but is still not working.
Any idea..thanks in advance.

Variable in the Load Rule file

Hi,
We're running EAS 9.3.1 and trying to update a load rule to include a substitution variable in the header. The load rule works fine when the member name is defined explicitly and the variable works fine in the calc scripts. Any ideas? I tried removing the quotes and the & symbol already. See error below.
Reading Rule SQL Information For Database [Plan1]
Reading Rules From Rule Object For Database [Plan1]
Unknown member [&CalcVersion] found while processing string ["Budget","&CalcVersion","Load","Functional"]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
Thanks.

Did you remove the quotes by using the replace in "field Properties" and Global properties tab? I am trying to replace double quotes with null in the data file and it does not seems to be working.
Thanks

Mapping and transformation rules

Hi experts,
pls tell me what is this mapping and transformation rules in context wz filw to RFC scenario.
what do u mean by transformation and transformation rules.
Thanks
veeru

Hi
Mapping and Transformation both are same,to understand clearly we go for transformation.
Generally we go for Mapping/Transformation when ever you want to change the source structure into required format of the target structure we gor for mapping ie. Transforming the one structure to another.
Ex:
Source Structure:
Fname
Lname
Empid
Fname------>CONCATE theswe togetherly gives Name.
Lname------->CONCATE
My required Target Structure is:
Name(So to get Name we will use the CONCATE preefined functon under Graphical Mapping in Mapping Editor )
Empid
Thanks

Substitution variable in Load rule Header Essbase 11.1.1.3

Think its obvious you can use substitution variable as a Header definition on Load rules, does version 11.1.1.3 has any issues' with it, i am running into Unexpected Essbase error 1019026.
Error:
Unknown member [Mgmt Actual,Base,No Vertical,No Customer] found while processing string [Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
I want to copy Actual data into other scenario's in ASO cube so thought will use substitution variables to eliminate duplication on load rules.
Mgmt Actual is a scenario set thru Substitution variable at the DB level
i.e *&CurScen="Mgmt Actual" (set at DB level)*
Header Definition on load rule *&CurScen,"Base","No Vertical","No Customer"*
Data load work fine If i replace substitution variable with original member *"Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer"*.
I did notice some users complaining erratic behavior when substitution variables are placed in load rule header at the End on multiple members, i have tried all places End, First and Middle.
tried using single Load rule with EAS and MAXl same results.
i want to keep altering scenarios on header definition and use same rule files.
alter database AppName.DbName set variable CurScen '"Mgmt Actual"';
Running out of ideas any help!

Error:
Unknown member [Mgmt Actual,Base,No Vertical,No Customer] found while processing string [Mgmt Actual","Base","No Vertical","No Customer]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
*1019026 Unknown member memberName found while processing string string*
Possible Problems
Analytic Services does not recognize the listed string as a member of the outline.
Possible Solutions
Make sure that the member name is valid. The member name is in the rules file.
* Are you using the correct rules file?
* Is the rules file connected to the correct outline?
* Can you validate the rules file?
* Are member names or variable names enclosed in quotation marks where necessary?
* Does the member exist in the outline? If not, you can add the member by modifying the outline during the dimension build or add the member in the Outline Editor.
* Make sure that the member is not specified as a header in the rules file.

Substitution Variables in Essbase Load Rules File

Hi,
Has anyone tried using substitution variables in Load Rules File Header definition?
I need to load data based on the Year & I have different Files for 3 Years- CurYr, BudYr1 & BudYr2. Is it allowed to specify the Year Substitution variable in the Rule File Header? I am getting an error while loading.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Ethan.

Tim,
Thanks for the response.
I figured it out. The error message I was getting was because of some parsing issue. I have defined Year as "FY12" in quotes. I removed quotes & it worked.
Thank You.
Ethan.

Substitution Variable in Data Load Rule

Hello,
Is it possible to filter selected record or rejected record from a flat file using a substitution variable ?
I use the v11.1.1.3.
Thanks
Rgds,
Pierre

A quich test on sample basic says no. I exported the data in column format and cleared the data. Then I created a load rule with selection criteria of a substitution variable and itdid not load any rows. I then changed the sub variable to an actual month and it loaded fine

Add formula field in data load rule

Hello,
I am trying to import data in Essbase from a txt file. The txt file contains data from an app with 12 dimensions and I want to load it into an app with 13 dimensions (View dimension for YTD is the extra dimension). Is that possible? I was thinking about adding an extra field in the data load rule which I would import as the sum of all other data fields. How would I do that?
Thank you,
Adina

Hi,
Thank you both for your answers. But what confuses me is this: I created a rules file using a file with 12 columns. I selected the appropriate member for each column in Field Properties, and added the View member in the data load header. Then I get the error message: "This field is also defined in the header definition" for all fields. However, if I don't set the members in Field Properties and just set them in the data load header, I get another error message: "There is an unknown member (or no member) in the field name."
Can you please help?
Thank you!

Essbase load rule file

I am trying to use load rule to append some data to Essbase cube. How do you define the rule on Essbase side, as a data file or SQL data source? I am trying to avoid the second option as the SQL Interface was not configured on Essbase Unix box. Is it possible?

Thanks John for explaining this one!
