ODI KM for Deleting members in Hyperion Finance

Question

I am trying to write Knowledge Module in ODI for deleting members in Hyperion Finance. But not finding any API method for delete and no documentation on that. Please share if someone have sample about delete on hyperion finance.
Thanks

Answer 1

It is possible using the standard IKM SQL to Hyperion Planning.
I did it using an Update to the Planning Metadata Dimension and passing a value to the Operation column.
I got the following information regarding the Operation column from the HAL documentation.
Operation—takes any of the following values:
<ul><li>Update - adds, updates, or moves the member being loaded
</li>
<li>Delete Level 0 - deletes the member being loaded if it has no children
</li>
<li>Delete Idescendants - deletes the member being loaded and all of its descendants
</li>
<li>Delete Descendants - deletes the descendants of the member being loaded, but does not delete the member itself</li>
</ul>
The default is Update.
Note: If you delete a member, that member, its data, and any associated planning units are permanently removed and cannot be restored.
Good Luck, hope this is helpful
