Replacing existing hierarchy through LCM

Hi
We are having the following issue using LCM:
When we import hierarchy using LCM, it does not update properties for dimension members which are already existing in the target application.
Is it possible to replace the existing hierarchy in target application while importing the updated one through LCM?
If yes, please help us with a few pointers in the right direction.
Thanks and Regards
Neha

Which version are you running, I know early versions of LCM had lots of issues.
Cheers

  • HOW TO USE AN EXISTING HIERARCHY

    Hi friends, I have the hierarchy 0SALES_OFF (Sales Office)
    The levels in this Hierarchy are ZZONE, 0SALES_ORG, 0SALES_DIST, 0SALES_OFF
    Now, i want this hierarchy to be extended to one more level that is 0CUSTOMER at the bottom.
    Also 0SALES_OFF is an attribute of 0CUSTOMER.
    We have to give the 0SALES_OFF Hierarchy to the 0CUSTOMER so that it will be like
    ZZONE, 0SALES_ORG, 0SALES_DIST, 0SALES_OFF, 0CUSTOMER
    I hope u understood the requirement
    what i require is to link the Sales office Hierarchy to the 0Customer so that it will be fullfilled
    CAN ANYBODY HELP ME REGARDING THID URGENT ISSUE.

    Unfortunately you have 2 options only:-)
    - Either maintain it Manually through RSH1
    - Maintain your Hierarchy in a Flat File and load your hierarchy through Flat File. This option may be easier if you maintain an Excel file for the hierarchy and generate a CSV file out of it to load it as a Flat File. Only difficulty you might face is to follow the format. You can download your existing hierarchy on a Flat File, modify it and reload it. Check the following link

    I can't see any other options.

  • Import of hierarchy through XML

    Hi ..
    In one of my scenarios,i need to import the hierarchy through XML structure.Can anybody guide me how to do that..
    Regards
    Biswanath

    Hi Biswanath,
    I could not make out your querry; There can be two questions from it;
    1) Structure of XML for importing into hirearchy :
    A)  This is going to normal structure where in you have a single parent and there on some childs with there heirearchy as you would write an normal xml hirearchy
    2) How to use an XML hirearchy in import manager
    A) If you are calling the hairearchy table in main table where in you have a look up feild. then you can map that look up feild of hirearcy table to the xml feild and then go the bottom pane of value mapping; in case you have this hirearchy already there then just map it. or else you have a option to add this hirearchy to the existing hirearchy. there in you will be asked wether it should be added as sibling or child; select any one of the options and its done..

  • Why am I getting an error message when trying to replace existing music on itunes

    How do I stop the error message from showing up when I try to replace existing music on my iTunes?

    You are getting an error message because there is an error.
    Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

    Mail in Mavericks not replacing existing mail with same name.
    Thanks

    I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
    It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
    Please send a fix for this Apple.

  • Migration in 11.1.2 through LCM

    Hi Experts,
    How to migrate data also in Essbase 11.1.2 to 11.1.2 application? I did successfully migration on 11.1.2 through LCM utility.
    But I want to migrate data also.
    If it is possible in 11.1.2 then let me know How to do that?
    Thanks

    LCM should also be able to migrate essbase data in 11.1.2
    Other methods are to export the data via EAS, Maxl and then import into your target using the same method.
    Cheers

  • Essbase filter assignment while importing the security through LCM

    Hi Experts,
    My source server is Essbase standalone 11.1.2.1 and my destination is Essbase 11.1.2.4, obviously shared services security.
    I just created some test users/ groups/ filters in 11.1.2.4 and did export through LCM and got the actual format of users/ groups/ roles CSV files. Then I just did edit all these CSV files with my source 11.1.2.1 users/ groups details with the respective roles and tried importing it in the same 11.1.2.4 server.
    I was successfully able to create all the users groups and its roles assignment. But I got stuck up with the filter assignment for the groups... I mean my groups are assigned with the role 'Filter' at the 11.1.2.4 environment but I dont know how to get the actual filter assigned to these groups.
    I know in Applications group we can assign filters manually using Assign access control but how to do it with the LCM import itself? is there any options/ tricks available or do we need to do it only by manually?
    Thanks,
    Siva

    Not tried the maxl create group but it is deprecated in 11.1.2.4
    Anyway there is nothing wrong with groups in EAS 11.1.2.4

  • Error when importing Shared Dimension through LCM

    We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 with an EPMA application. We have one environment where all of the dimensions are in the Shared Library, and the application dimensions are shared from there (DEV environment). In another environment, we have the same application, but its using only local dimensions (UAT environment)
    We are looking to migrate some changes to members from DEV to UAT, but don't want to share the dimensions in UAT (yet anyways). Here is how I was going about migrating the dimensions:
    1. In Shared Services in DEV, exporting the dimensions from EPM Architect from Foundation Services (from under Dimensions (Shared))
    2. In Shared Services in UAT, importing the dimensions from the file system into EPMA from Foundation Services (into Dimensions (Shared)), then using the "Synchronize > From Shared Library" to push those changes to the application's local dimensions.
    When I import the file system from DEV into UAT, the import fails and gives me the following error message for the Account dimension (only trying the one dimension for now):
    REPORTED WITHOUT ERROR DETAILS
    Here is a link to the screenshot of the error: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12604803/HSS-LCM-Error.jpg
    It appears that the LCM import does work as it creates the dimension in the Shared Library, but I am not sure why I am getting this error message.
    I also tried to import the exported Shared Dimension for Account directly into the application (rather than the Shared Library) by just moving the "Account" file from:
    <export file name>\resource\Dimensions (Shared)
    to
    <export file name>\resource\Application Metadata\Planning Applications\<appname>\Common Dimensions
    And this imports without any errors! I'd rather not go this way as it's more of a manual process, and I'd like to keep it as straightforward as possible.
    I have searched the error message on OTN, the Oracle Knowledge Base and Google, but haven't really been able to come across any real information.
    Any insight you may have would be greatly appreciated!

    More of an update. We have a sandbox environment as well, and I was able to import the Shared Dimensions through LCM without any issue on that server.
    I also tried rebooting the server with the issues, but still get that cryptic error message.
    I looked through the logs and saw this in the EPMA.log
    2011-03-31 15:51:13,194 [[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] ERROR com.hyperion.awb.web.lcm.ArtifactManager - Error code is AWB_WEB_ERR_LCM_IMPORT_ARTIFACTS_PATHNAME

    Seems to be connected to the issue I am having, but couldn't find anything on OTN, Oracle KB or Google. Other imports to this environment work, so not sure why the pathname would throw issues.
    I also verified that EPMA and HSS on all environments are using the same version.

  • Error while creating hierarchy through " Create Hierarchy field" option

    Hi All,
    while trying to create hierarchy through Create Hierarchy field option i am facing the following error
    I am giving the following inputs
    Hierarchy field name : XYZ
    Parent field                : Level1
    Child Field                  : Level2
    Node name field        : Level3
    Cannot find the parent ID value "abc" in Field ID Level2 of Table " Hierarchy"
    FYI
    The source hierarchy is in Columns format with Level1(Parent)---->Lever2(Child of Level1) and Level3(Child of level2)
    Kindly guide me where i am going wrong
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Sharma

    Hi Sharma,
    Your input file should have 3 columns for hierarchy one which will store level 1 information,2nd will have corresponding level 2 information and 3rd will have corresponding level 3 info.
    Now in Import Manager go to Partition,select 1st ,2nd and 3rd column.Donot combine the fields. Now map the partition fields with the target hierarchy field.Perform the value mapping and import.
    Or
    YOu can have one column in the excel file.with values L1>L2>L3(split by some delimiter).
    In import manager go to source hierechy pany select the Column and from context menu select option split into hierechy as per the delimiter.
    Now map the parttion field and target field ,do value mapping and import.

    Hi,
      This is Thilak. For loading Data To hierarchy from flat file u should follow the below steps.
    1. Create info objects as per ur hierarchy structure. i.e., ZH_CNO( for cno), ZH_SRGN (for region) .
    2. find the highest node level info object. i.e., ZH_CNO.
    3. go to that info object (highest node level info object) and select "with hierarchy" chk box.
    4. click on " MAINTAIN HIERARCHY" button and move the external characteristics info objects to rt. side pannel.i.e., ZH_SRGN.
    (Hint : other than first and last node level characteristics)
    5. Activate the info object.
    6. Create the info source (ZH_IS) of " DIrect Update Type".
    7. Assign Hierarchy Data source( ZH_CNO_HIER) to that info source.
    8. Schedule the info package to load the hierachy data from flat file.
    Note: If u have any doubts regarding flat file format and hierarchy structure plz call to +91 9600015640 or mail to thilak.oggn@gmail. bcz i am unable to draw that hier strtr ana table.

  • ITunes Import CD "Replace existing" not working as expected.

    iTunes 10.5.1 (42)
    To replicate problem:
    Import CD using AAC encoder / iTunes Plus setting. Audio files are created. E.g. "foo.m4a" 15MB in size
    Eject CD.
    Change import settings to Apple Lossless Encoder.
    Re-import CD using new settings.
    Dialog box appears stating songs already imported and asks if user wants to replace existing songs and import again.
    Select "Replace Existing" button.
    iTunes imports CD again and creates file "foo 1.m4a" 45MB in size and keeps existing file "foo.m4a".
    This is not how I would expect "Replace Existing" to behave. I'm expecting the original file to be deleted and replaced by the newly imported file.
    However I'm thinking that iTunes keeps the existing file because it has all of the metadata regarding play counts, etc and iTunes refers to this even though only the new version of the file shows on iTunes. If so, it's one way to fill up your hard drive.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated before I submit a bug report to Apple.
    Thanks.

    Still happening even with the latest version of iTunes. Appears to be random - sometimes it overwrites, sometimes it creates secondary copies. Frustrating!

  • Can I import audio into a clip, replacing existing audio?

    I want to import audio from footage I've shot and use it to replace existing audio in a movie. Can that be done?

    According to HT4622 you can copy audio into GarageBand from an app that supports copying audio to the clipboard. Once in GarageBand it would possible to make edits such as trimming or removing/repeating segments. You could then "share" the resulting song via email.
    What kind of recording are we talking about? GarageBand has a maximum song length of 32 minutes (320 bars at 40bpm) which may affect its suitability for your project.

  • XI 4.0 Replace existing schedule creates a new schedule

    Hello,
    I have recently upgraded to BO XI 4.0 and I am experiencing something strange in the CMC.
    When I try to modify a schedule, I do a "re-schedule" and then choose the "Replace existing schedule" option. It seems to always create a new schedule (same as the other option).
    Is this a known issue? I wasn't having this problem in 3.1...
    My other problem is that I used to be able to schedule to filesystem without user/password (using the service account) but now if I go into the Destination tab it won't let me out unless I specify user and password, which is a pain...

    Seems I didn't search properly - just found that it's a know issue...

  • Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign?

    Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign? I need to replace some images but wondering if I'll need to reformat, resize, rename for the Advanced Action, etc.

    The work flow is a bit more complicated than in InDesign (keeps only a link to the image as you know in the frame). I understand the problem with the advanced/shared action references. This is my work flow, maybe someone else has an easier, shorter one:
    Right-click on the image and use 'Find in Library' or use CTRL-ALT-F if it works on your keyboard (doesn't on my AZERTY one)
    In the Library use the right-click menu to open the Properties or double-click the name of the image
    In that dialog box, choose 'Import' and choose your new image; for some reason you cannot choose from the Library however, which I find really sad because I'm used to import all assets to the Library.
    Drawback: if the new image has not the same width/height ratio, it will adapt to the original size of the image, you can use Edit image to repair. You'll keep the name of the image, you don't have to change advanced/shared actions.
