Transferring HFM data to Planning

What is the best method for transferring data from (Classic) HFM to (EPMA) Planning (when both are on different environments) using a pre-configured and pre-scheduled process? From my investigations so far it seems to be to use Extended Analyltics?

Many thanks. HFM is unchartered territory for me, so some confirmation that I am working in the right area by using EA is reassuring. Also, I had considered setting up an extract directly from the rdbms, but chose EA as it seemed to be quicker, plus gives a simple interface for users to update when required.
Many thanks - it is good to know that I have ended up in the right place.

  • Loading HFM data to Hyperion Planning using FDM

    Hi All
    Has anyone ever used HFM as a data source for FDM?
    Someone has asked me for the best way to get data from HFM into Hyperion Planning and whether FDM can manage that. I know there is a generic Pull adapter and the ERPi but I'm not sure whether either of those will do the job.
    At the moment I am assuming that they will need to extract data from HFM to flat file and then import to FDM as a 2 stage process?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Hi Tony
    Apologies for the delay (my email spammed the notification that you had replied, helpful!!). When you say that you have done it but discourage accessing the tables directly how did you achieve this? Were you just careful which data intersections your selected from the tables (e.g. always base level data so it is stored not calculated)?
    I have used the HFM relational tables a couple of times to make use of the metadata that they contain but not tried to get data before.

  • Issues with Writing back data to Planning Cube After adding a new characterstic

    Hello,
    We have two cubes and a MP on top of it. ( Reporting Cube and Planning Cube ). An aggregation layer has also been built and so does a planning BEx query on top of it.
    Before Scenario: things were working fine as we were able to write back data to planning cube using the BEx.
    After Scenario: We created a new Dimension in the planning cube and added a new characteristic ( lets call it ZX_KEY ) . This Characteristic holds the concatenated values of some of the other characteristics in its master data tables . ( For ex: Account_Customer ID_Country-code_Industry-code ).
    This new characteristic is also present in the reporting cube and has been added and transferred to MP.
    This new characterstic was added to the planning BEx query as one of the rows and we executed it the analyzer. After entering the required values for all characterstics ( including the newly added ZX_KEY ) and the key figure values, we tried saving it. Now this is where the Analyzer is throwing up this error..
    ~~Characterstic combination cannot be assigned to part provider ~~
    ~~Characterstic 'ZX_KEY'; Characterstic value 'R123000000_12_US_TX'~~
    ~~ Entered values are incorrect:Correct before navigation ~~
    The value that we are entering ( R123000000_12_US_TX ) is picked up from the master data table of ZX_KEY by double clicking and selecting it from the fetched values. So i am not sure as to why its throwing up the above error. Request your help on this please.
    regards,
    Karthik

    Hi,
    Try to check that all characteristics are correctly assigned at multiprovider level.
    hope it helps

    Hello Debadrita,
    Function Module BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 or BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL can help you.
    For BAPI BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL, the parameters are:
    1) PLANNINGBOOK - the name of your planning book
    2) DATA_VIEW - name of your data view
    3) KEY_FIGURE_SELECTION - list of key figures you want to read
    4)  SELECTION - selection parameters which describe the attributes of the data you want to read (e.g. the category or brand). This is basically a list of characteristics and characteristic values.
    BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 is very similar to BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAI but is only available from SCM 4.1 onwards.
    For the complete list of parameters, you can go to transaction SE37, enter the function module names above and check out the documentation.
    Please post again if you have questions.
    Hope this helps.

  • The loading date, transportation date and planned date on the STO are the same as Delivery dates.

    Hi,
    We have created a Intra plant STO (plant to plant in the same company code). The planned delivery date is 4 days. So if I create a STO today (27th march), the delivery date is 31st march (excl Saturday and Sunday).
    During delivery creation, the loading date, transportation date and planned date are also coming as 31st march. The route determination for the given shipping point and route shows 2 days for transit and 4 hours for pick pack. There is no loading time maintained for the given combination.
    Can you please advice why are the dates coming the same as delivery date during delivery creation without considering the duration maintained in route determination ?
    Thanks!!!
    Anuja

    Hi,
    This is a standard behavior of SAP in case of Stock Transfer PO.
    If you want that the delivery date of receiving plant be transferred to supplying plant, please use BADI MD_STOCK_TRANSFER.
    Hope this helps.

  • HFM Data Extract in Task Flow ??

    HI,
    I have a couple of clarification on HFM Data extract in HFM Task flow,
    1) Is Data extraction possible for the predefined accounts in HFM task flow? – in which Accounts & other dimesion memebers needs to be pre-defined so that just on execution of the task flow, HFM needs to extract the data into a text file (i.e., It should not prompt to select the Accounts (as well as other dimension members) each time we extract)
    2) For Data extract purpose, we need some of the HFM members in a different name. So, we planned to create a alias table. In data extraction, Is it possible to select the member names from an custom alias table?
    3) We have to define a specific set of Account values as negative in the extracted data file which is actually positive in HFM. Also, In the extracted data file, We need to have the Account member name same as the existing HFM Account name.
    a.     For instance,
    In HFM:
    Account Member Name in HFM: VUK
    Account Value: 1000
    In the Extracted data file:
    Account Member Name in data file: VUK
    Account Value: -1000
    Is this feasible? If yes, can you explain a bit in detail (like how we can implement this in HFM)
    Thanks,
    Siva

    HI,
    I need a help in HFM Data extraction.
    We use four custom dimensions and our requirement is to get the data extract for the custom members which we need(we need only parent members in custom dimensions).
    But, by default, HFM extracts the data for all base custom members(and not for any parent custom members) - which we dont wish to have.
    Is there any possiblty to extract the data by choosing the custom members for which we need data ??
    Our's is a classic HFM Application in 9.3.1. (in Oracle DB)
    Your response will be highly appreciated !!!
    Thanks,
    Siva

  • HFM to Essbase \ Planning via EA and EIS or AIS, whatever it is today..

    Have HFM data and metadata being spilled into the EA repository...pretty good using taskflow... Now for the getting into Essbase \ Planning....
    How do you decipher what HFM is dumping to the repository into something useful? Going to go down the path of AIS possibly use HAL to get it into planning but don't know where to start. If anyone is willing to point me in the right direction, would be grateful. If you would be willing to share any examples or tips \ tricks, that would be great also!
    9.2.0.2 about to be 9.2.0.3
    Thank you!

    Where does the data go missing? i.e. Is there data at the Import, Validate, Export steps but no export file is produced or, for instance is no data imported at the import step. It should be pretty ovbvious at which stage the data is lost.

  • Unable to copy data in planning

    Hi Gurus,
    I am unable to copy data using "copy data" in planning web application.
    getting an error "MSG_COPY_DATA_OPTIONS_FAILED: An error occurred while running the specified calc script. Check the log for details."
    here are the steps I checked:
    I checked whether planning and essbase are in sync.
    The DBA team says that there was no spikes in memory.
    when I take small data set it see data in target but the status in Job Console says processing for the past 45 min.
    I was copying only one month of data.
    please help.

    I see you must of read the two Oracle Support articles by what you wrote in your post.
    Have you checked the essbase app log? also it sometimes help to restart the planning web app when it happens.
    Also have a read of Re: Where is the calc script created when running the 'Copy Data' function ?
    Cheers

  • Excel upload data to planning book not working

    Hello Gurus,
    i have checked the online resources first before posting this thread here as this is most old topic relating to upload of excel data to planning book key figures.
    Here is what i have done so far
    1) from the planning book, i chose a view and downloaded the file to desktop and saved it as CSV. i populated the key figure values and saved the csv file as-is back to desktop
    2) i had to remove the hdeader from the file as APO threw back an error that it could not interpret the period (header) as the number
    3) when i took out the header i simply pasted the values and the file was ok
    4) i went to planning book, loaded the file, checked the file and it said that the data was read and i clicked on upload the file
    5) everything was green, then but i do not see the values in the grid of the planning book
    what else i'm missing.
    can someone please help me
    thanks
    Ravi

    Hello DB and Ada. Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I know i might be missing something silly here. If i keep the header that i downloaded from the planning book into csv file, i get an error while uploading the file back to planning book that unable to interpret 11/2014 as a number.
    P11/2014 is the header, Period 11/2014 is the fiscal period. we plan in fiscal periods.
    if i take out the header from the csv file and just populate the key figure values, then i do not get any error when i load the file back to planning book, but then the values do not show up in the planning book grid.
    i'm keeping the planning book in the change mode while uploading the file as i got that error saying that i need to keep the planning book in change mode for the file to load data properly to planning book.
    Thanks

    Naveen

    Naveen,
        Are yo having issue when you save something in the layout, the data doesn't appear in the listcube ? Or do you have issue that the latest data you see in the cube doesn't appear in the layout ?
    For the former issue, please look at your selections of listcube and for the second issue, please check your planning level definition, make sure all the restrictions you have applied are valid for this latest data to be presented in the layout.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Text measures data to planning from SQL

    n a planning application Under Account Dimension we have Members as
    Rate,
    Quantity,
    Customer_Name,
    Customer_City,
    Rate and Quantity are number measures .
    customer_Name and Customer_City are text measures .And every time the customer_name and Customer_city are new.
    Limitations :
    1.We have to load the data directly from the Staging Oracle tables.
    2.There are no ETL tools.
    Problem :
    Plan to Load data directly to Planning/Essbase cube using Open SQL method . But its not allowing to load text data unless or until I predefined in a DB.
    Please gimme some suggestions to achieve the same without any ETL tools or csv files ... ?
    Regards,
    Keny Alex

    I just talked to a buddy of mine whose client loaded text data into Planning behind the scenes and messed up the OBJECT_ID count. That client (no, I don't know who they are) picked a number that they thought that Planning would never, ever, ever get to -- remember, OBJECT_ID is the object counter that Planning uses to uniquely identify each object -- and started loading text directly to the Planning tables.
    And then Planning hit that number.
    KABOOM.
    May I suggest that you use the OutlineLoad.cmd utility to load data? You can drive it off the command line (no other way, in fact) and know that at least nothing like the above will happen.
    It's all in the Planning admin guide.
    NB -- This utility exists in Planning 11 onwards.

  • Automatically trigger the event to load data from Planning cube to Standard Cube

    Hello,
    We have a below set up in our system..
    1. A Planning BEx query using which user makes certain entries and writes back data to the planning cube.
    2. An actual reporting cube which gets data from the planning cube above.
    Now, what we want to do is to automate the data load from Planning cube to Reporting cube.
    This involves 2 things..
    1. Change the setting " Change real time load behaviour " of the planing cube to Planning.
    2. Trigger the DTP which loads data from Planning cube to reporting cube.
    We want to automate the above two steps...
    I have tried few things to achieve the same..
    1. Created an event in SM64,
    2. In the Planning cube "Manage" Screen,  clicked on "Subsequent Processing" and provided the event details. ( Not sure if its the correct place to provide the event detail ).
    3. Wrote a ABAP program which changes the setting of the planning cube (  " Change real time load behaviour " to Loading )
    4. Created a process chain, where we have used the event as a start variant, used the ABAP program as a next step, DTP run as the last step..
    This i hoped, would trigger the event as soon as a new request comes and sits in planning cube, which in turn would trigger the process chain which would load the data from Planning cube to reporting cube..
    This is not working. I dont think the event is triggering, and even if does i am not sure whether it will start the process chain automatically. Any ideas please ?

    hi,
    try to do the transformation directly in the input cube by using CR of type exit, more details :

    Please let me know if there are any settings to save the data to cube or how can it be done.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lavanya,
    What do you mean by "the data did not get updated into the cube" ?
    Don't you find a yellow request in the cube administration transaction ? What happened if you set it to green ?

  • Date wise planning

    Hi,
    How can i do date wise planning for quantity of a perticular activity. i.e, a activity called excavation is attchched to a WBS, its total qty is 500m3, i have given basic start and finish date for it. but how can i do date wise planning for qty for it?

    u can use Stastistical key figure planning.
    1- create a statistical key fig group and enter that in ur planning profile (OPSB)
    2- go to CJ40 and select the period and wbs ( extra->detailed planning->statistical planning)
    here u can do planning for month wise also.
    similarly after completion of the excavation, u can do actual posting also. (KB31N)
