Infact those members exist in the Outline.
Any help would be appreciated.

Check for the double quotes (the one John mentioned). Also I can see that you are taking the approach of Data Load dimension. Is Data load dimension and driver members defined correctly in Planning?

Error in using Outline Load Utility

HI
i am trying to export the members (metadata) of one of my dimension into csv file by using the outlineload utility of hyperion planning. The version of hyperion is 11.1.2.2
instead of creating a csv file the outline load utility throws me following exception:
"Unable to obtain dimension information and/or perform a data load: Registry: Planning product not found."
I also check the log and exception file created by the Outline Load utility which contains the following information;

this command was working fine till yesterday. for the sake of testing i try to export the metadata of another application deployed on the same sever and got the same error for that; so it shows that some thing went wrong with the whole server instead of individual application

HI,
Some additional information.
When you see this error message "Planning Product not found". Please check the logs in
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\diagnostics\logs\services, check in HyS9EPMServer-sysout.
You should be able to see the error message as " Received exception while creating connection for pool "EPMSystemRegistry": ORA-28001 the password has expired".
This is an easy way of identifying the case.

Loading Dimensions using Outline Load utility in 11.1.2

Hi All,
I tried to use the Outline Load utility for loading dimensions in Planning (11.1.2). The file available is OutlineLoad.cmd.template. I tried running that but doesn't work. So i remaned it to OutlineLoad.cmd and tried but it still doesn't work. Have there been any changes regarding how to use it in 11.1.2?
Cheers,
Abhishek

Hi John and Rahul,
I navigated to the location mentioned by Rahul and entered "OutlineLoad.cmd.template". it just goes to the next line and another window opens up asking which program you want to use.
If I enter only "OutlineLoad.cmd" so that it'll return the parameters I need to give, then it says "The syntax of the command is incorrect".
What command do I need to give? Earlier in 11x, I would just enter "OutlineLoad.cmd" and it would give an error with the expected parameters.

Thank you for your reply.
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.
I refer to this artical,

Create, Load, & Assign Attribute using Notepad + Outline Load Utility

Hi all, I have a requirement that I need to create a new attribute and then assign to many different members. Since there are so many members, I believe the best way to do this is to process this dynamically in notepad or wordpad through Outline Load Utility.
This is the normal way how I would do it manually in Planning:
1. Let's say this is my outline in Planning. "1000-X" is the base member where I will be assigning the new attribute to. And many more siblings to "1000-X" will be assigned with the same attribute:
http://i.imgur.com/U6d1i.jpg
2. So I changed the data type of "1000-X" to Stored. I highlighted "Entities". I created the new attribute named "Company".
http://imgur.com/Kg2oe
3. I have selected base member "1000-X" -> Edit -> then assign the new attribute to "Company". So that's done for a single member. However, keep in mind, I still have many more members to assign the new attribute to. I want to do this much quicker through dynamic way so I'm not sure if I have to go through this process. Maybe this could be alternated by creating it in notepad/wordpad?
http://i.imgur.com/lg9G6.jpg
Now, my question is, if I want to just type up everything in notepad/wordpad for assigning the new attribute "Company" to a massive amount of members. How would that structure look?
I was reading this but I'm still a bit confused about how the structure should be formatted when it gets more complex:
https://blogs.oracle.com/HyperionPlanning/entry/attributes_loading_and_assigning_attributes
So basically there are 2 files: Attribute Load file and Entity Metadata Load file
Now, this is my Attribute Load file. Can someone help me to verify my work?
http://i.imgur.com/fnT8I.jpg
=========
Parent, Office
Office,Office
=========
Next, here is the Entity Metadata Load file I created:
http://i.imgur.com/wrSt9.jpg
=============================
Parent,Entity,Company
"Total Non-Admin","Total Admin","Department XYZ - A & B & C", "Department X","TOtal Administration","USA","Operation XYZ","Operation X","1000-X"
=============================
Apparently, there's something wrong with it so correct me. Thanks for taking time reading this.

I think Outline Load Utility needs .CSV files as the source files. See below format that loads fine.
Parent,<Base Dim Name (Entity)>,<Data Storage>,<Alias: Default>,<Attr Dim 1>,<Attr Dim 2>,<Attr Dim 3>
All Entites,Entity,Store,,,,
Entity_1,All Entities,Store,,,,
Entity_1_1,Entity_1,Store,,<Attr Dim 1_Member_1>,<Attr Dim 2_Member_2>,<None>
Entity_1_2,Entity_1,Store,,<None>,<Atter Dim 2_Member_2>,<None>
Note: Attribute assignments must be of the same level in the base dimensions. It may let you assign but will get error during the refresh.
Thanks,
KK

How to remove members using Outline Load Utility

Hi,
I'm new to Outline Load Utility. Currently I'm testing all available options of Outline Load Utility,I'm facing one problem while performing one option.
Te following options are working fine for me:
1. /M /N
2. /-H
3. /-O
But I'm not able to remove the loaded members of the respective dimension using /-R option.
We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.2 Version ,can anyone help me on this
Thanks,
Suresh.

Planning Outline data store load process finished with exceptions: not all input records were read due to errors (or an empty input file). 0 data records were read, 0 data records were processed, 0 were successfully loaded, 0 were rejected.There is some problem with the input file, its not even reading a single record.Make sure ur providing the right name and path.
other wise error would be like
*1 data records were read*, 0 data records were processed, 0 were successfully loaded, 0 were rejected.
As John mentioned, below will work for sure
Parent Entity Operation
Entity Total_entity Delete Idescendants

Cannot view metadata loaded via Outline load utility in Webform

I loaded meta-data via outline load utilities with no errors but cannot view the meta on a web form
Here is my header
Entity Data Load Cube Name Point-of-View,Position Status FT/PT Salary Basis Employee Number Employee Name Hire Date Position Start Date Position End Date Position Name
Another intriguing fact is that I am currently loading these members to entity, even when I load to Position, I still cannot view the data. Functionally, it makes more sense to load these members to position

Hi ,
A little correction in John post i think he mistakenly given wrong path, In Planning Admin --> Dimension than select the dim on which you have added member.
If we select Admin > Manage than we will get database or securtiy create/refresh option.
Cheers!
Sh!vaNo version was mentioned so I assume the latest and it is as I said Administration > Manage > Dimensions

Outline Load Log

Hello,
I am trying to find the errors in my dimension build jobs using outline load. I have these jobs automated. I am not able to see the error details in the log file, it just says how many rejections. I can see the details of error when I manually run the job in cmd window. Is there an easy way to get the details of the error if the utility itself can't do that?
Thanks

Maybe you are just looking at the log and not the exception log, you can enable the exception log in the outlineload utility command line parameters /X:exceptionFileName
Cheers

Create & Load Attribute without Outline Load Utility? Add Many Attributes?

1. Is it possible to create and load attribute dimensions without using Outline Load Utility? How?
2. What is the fastest way to create and load attribute dimensions massively? (ex. 5000 attributes)
p.s. I don't understand when John Goodwin says "reversing Planning application", could you please elaborate on that?

Outline Load Utility - associating attributes when loading members

Hi - simple one this I'm sure.
I'm trying to use the Outline Load Utility to load members to a simple custom dimension, which already exists. I want to assign an attribute to each member I am adding.
So I have my data file with the requisite headers including "Attribute Dimension Name" as per the HP admin guide.
I specify member name, parent, alias, and the attribute member I want to associate with the dimension member I am adding, but the utility does not like the header & returns *"unrecognized column header value "Attribute Dimension Name" "*
here is the script:
OutlineLoad -f:h:\HYSL\password.txt /S:demodrive /A:MikeTest /U:demoadmin /M /N
/I:c:\Bootcamp/OLUtest\Dim3.csv /D:Customers /-C /L:c:\Bootcamp\OLUtest\Dim3Load.log
/X:c:\Bootcamp\OLUtest\Dim3Ldex.exc
here is the top of the file:
Customers,Parent,Alias: Default,Attribute Dimension Name
Cust 3,Top 10 Customers,,North
Cust 4,Top 10 Customers,,South
Cust 5,Top 10 Customers,,East
Thx

You have to give the attribute dimension name, so if you have an attribute dimension called "Shop", then your head would be
Customers,Parent,Alias: Default,Shop
The attribute dimension already has to exist as well.
Cheers

Outline Load Utility error using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2

I am using Outline Load Utility to extract outline from Hyperion Planningin .csv format.
We have three planning cubes and I am trying to extract a dimension that is only a standard dimension in the third cube. However, I get this error message:
Error: Unable to obtain dimension information and/or perform a data load: com.hyperion.planning.sql.HspMember cannot be cast to com.hyperion.planning.sql.HspTimePeriod
When I check Shared Services, the dimension is not part of standard dimensions in Global Artifacts for the app. I can see it under the specific Plan Type as a standard dimension.
When I try to extract any of the dimensions under the Global Artifacts, the command is successful. Here is the syntax I type for outline load command:
OutlineLoad /A:HFPlan2 /U:admin /-M /E:c:/position_export.csv /D:Position /L:c:/outlineLoad.log /X:c:/outlineLoad.exc
Please advise if I need to add something else to the command or totally use any other tool.
Thanks!

Log an SR with Oracle, because that is a varchar field with I think 2000 char limit.
Is that happening for just that application (do you have other apps, or can you create a sample application)
