Minimum How many dimension required for FDM integration Script

Question

Hi Gurus
I have only 2 dimensions in my SQL Table name dbo.ABC (Example: 1.Entity 2.Account and amount(data value)
Example:
USA, SALES, 50000
(Including value its total 3 dimensions)
How to export this data to Target HFM Application.
Integration Script got success when i click on validation it is shows only 2 dimension 1.Account 2.Entity. i have mapped correctly. but validation screen not showing anything. i got gold fish for validation button and Export is also showing success and got goldfish. but no data is exported to HFM application.
in FDM outbox its created a file which is containing only *!data* text. There is no record in this file.
I want to load the data with rest of the dimensions with [None] member combination as i don't have the additional dimensions in my source file.
Minimum how many dimension required to export the data from FDM to HFM?
regards
Taruni

Hi,
I came to know, at least one member from the source file should be there in the integration script then only we can assign at least [None] member or any member for the target dimensions.
My source file having only 3 dimensions ( USA,Sales,Amount)
1.USA,2.Sales,3.$50000
Import Screen Dimensions:
1.Source-FM-Entity
2.Source-FDM-Account
3.Account Description
4.SourceICP
5.SourceCustom1
6.SourceCustom2
7.SourceCustom3
8.SourceCustom4
9.Amount
In the integration script its taking the values as
Source-FM-Entity(0)
Source-FDM-Account(1)
Account Description
SourceICP
SourceCustom1
SourceCustom2
SourceCustom3
SourceCustom4
Amount(2)
above it shows only 0,1,2 numbers are assigned to source dimensions.
As my source file having only 3 Dimension so it is taking only 3 dimensions shown below. rest of the dimensions it is not showing in the import screen.
*0.Source-FM-Entity,1.Source-FDM-Account,2.Amount*
If i assign any values(3-9) to next dimensions or if I left blank rs.fields("txtAcctDes") with its showing below error messages:
Error: An error occurred importing the file.
Detail: Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal.
At line: (39 and 42-46)
So i have assigned Source-FDM-Account Number<font color="Blue">(rs.fields(1) </font>Value to rest of the dimensions in my integration script.
<font color="Blue">rsAppend.Fields("Account") = rs.fields(1).Value</font>
rsAppend.Fields("Desc1") = rs.fields(1).Value
rsAppend.Fields("ICP") = rs.fields(1).Value
rsAppend.Fields("UD1") = rs.fields(1).Value
rsAppend.Fields("UD2") = rs.fields(1).Value
rsAppend.Fields("UD3") = rs.fields(1).Value
rsAppend.Fields("UD4") = rs.fields(1).Value
Now am able to import the data into import screen, And i found all the above member names as Sales as i assigned Account dimension number(1) to these members temporarily to succeed the import process . Then i have mapped to Target dimensions with [None] member combination as these members are not in original source file. Then rest of the process Export and Check is done perfectly.
*<font color="red">1.Am i right?? Please suggest me the correct process?</font>*
*<font color="red">2.Can we use blank values in Integration Script as mentioned below??</font>*
rsAppend.Fields("Desc1") = rs.fields("txtAcctDes").Value
rsAppend.Fields("Account") = rs.fields("txtAcct").Value
rsAppend.Fields("Entity") = rs.fields("txtCenter").Value
*1.Added value*
Example: rsAppend.Fields("Desc1") = rs.fields("1").Value
*2.Blank Value*
rsAppend.Fields("Desc1") = rs.fields("txtAcctDes").Value
*<font color="red">3.As per my observation system is not accepting blank values in integration script. Please correct me??</font>*
