Build dimension using the rules file
I use Oracle Hyperion worm 9.3.1. So that the dimensions of formatting built using the rule file, I came across the 'JOIN' and 'Create Join using' options. Can someone help me to know the difference between these two options?Published by: 873675 on July 20, 2011 12:25 AM
The documentation explains the difference with examples, now I was going to post the link, but I might as well post the info from the link.
Join the fields
You can join several fields into one. The new field is given the name of the first field in the join. For example, if a data source has separate fields for the number of product (100) and the family of products (-10), you must join the fields (100-10) before loading in the Sample.Basic database.
Create a field by joining fields
You can reach the fields by placing fields joined in a new field. This procedure leaves intact original fields. Creating a field is useful if you need concatenate the fields of the data source to create a member.
For example, if a data source has separate fields for the number of product (100) and the family of products (-10), you must join the fields (100-10) before loading in the Sample.Basic database. If, however, you want to keep the two existing fields in the data source, you can create a field (100-10) using a join. The data source includes now all three fields (100, - 10 and 100-10).

Creation of multiple dimensions with the rule files
Hello
Is it posible to create multiple dimensions using rules file. I managed to create 1 Dimension using the rules file, but I need to create two dimension using rules (customer and Distribution_Channel) file.
Help, please.
-AmitHello
You need the files in separate rules for the construction of separate dimensions.
You can use the same metadata file well.So, you must create 3 files of rules for the 3 dimensions.

Type of Dimension set using the Rules file
Hello
I tried to build a dimension (ASO) of accounts using the build parent-child and wanted to know if we can specify the dimension type "Account" to in the rules file?
Also all the codes of the property can be given in a single column or placing them in separate columns a good practice? I need to make this hierarchy of dimension as 'dynamic '.
I use the definition of dimension of the rules file option name.
Thanks for your contributions!Yes you can do it in a rules file. In the setting dimension dialog box, go to the third tab. You can see the list of dimensions and the possibility of adding dimensions. Right-click on the desired size and then select Edit properties. Then, you can set the dimension type and dimension member properties.
With regard to the properties. I always keep in separate columns of my source. -
Essbase error when you try to change the dimension through the rule files
Hi Knowledgebank.
I'm new to Essbase. I'm trying to change my dimension through the rule files and Iam getting error (Dimension build setings).
Example:
My current dimensiion is:
MARKET TOTAL
ASIA
Singapore
CHINA
HONG KONG
NORTH AMERICA
SOUTH AMERICA
I am trying to add a few new countries of SOUTH AMERICA and I can't. Is there a step by step guide to achieve this?
I'm following the documentationi but still errors.
Help on this is going to help me go further.
Note:-I am able to load the data successfully.'TOTAL MARKET' 'COUNTRY'--> header I have jump while loading
'SOUTH AMERICA' 'BRAZIL '.
'SOUTH AMERICA' 'ARGENTINA '.As above, your first file is correct if you use generation referance.
Your mapping in the rules file should be like this.
Gen2, Gen3 TOTAL MARKET, MARKET TOTAL
'SOUTH AMERICA' 'BRAZIL '.
'SOUTH AMERICA' 'ARGENTINA '.For generation Referance always starts on Gen2.
Gen1 sets the level of the dimension. If the dimension is not there, you must set in the definition of dimension not in Field1. -
Load data into Essbase using the rules file
Hello
IAM trying to create a rule to load for the fresh Essbase cube associated with the Hyperion Planning Application.We having 14 Dimensions (including the HSP_Rates Dimension).
The falt file used to generate the rule file has columns related to the 13 dimensions as well as the data as the 14th column column. When I validate the rules file, he said "the rules file is correct for the loading of the data.
My concern here is iam not taking care of Member Dimnesion related to the Dimension of "HSP_Rates" (not even as the Difinition of the header). I'm doing something wrong here? How validation can MOVE independently without taking into account one dimension?
If I insert the data, while recovering the data in Excel which dimension member HSP_Rates should I use?
Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
RNGHello
You should charge against 'HSP_InputValue' in the HSP_Rates dimension, i.e. where the input values must be loaded.

Unable to load data using the rules file
Hi all
I am facing a strange problem while loading data by using a rules file:
1. I don't get any error/kick. It gives fair attention No. data values are modified by this data file loading. But nothing will load inside.
2. I tried with Maxl and directly from EAS but gettting same warning.
3 has tried to block sending n to entires in the data file and it does not work (so no Dynamics members etc..)
4. rule file validates correctly.
5. I tried with different types of different files (Csv, Xls, Txt, etc.) but no luck.
Any suggestions / ideas of what could be bad?
Don't know what exactly was the problem, but I recreated the rule files and it solved the problem... May be a case of corrupted file rule?

Ask about the load of metadata in Essbase using the rules file
Hello
In our application, we load the metadata using the Essbase rules file and here, we are faced with a problem. Suppose we have load a member of level 0, called "xxxx" under two different parent, assume parents are Parent_AAAA and Parent_BBBB. But our demand is the operator of consolidation for the first occurrence (i.e. under the Parent_AAAA) is '+' and for the Member shared under Parent_BBBB is ' - '. But, when we are load using rule file the operator of consolidation for the Member always shared loading as ' + '. Y at - it a trick to change the operator of consolidation for other than manually changing outline shared member?
Pls help... Thanks in advance.
I don't think that there is a way to change the default setting.
However, what you can do is to have a different charge and rule file different text with only the metadata that you want to have an exception for shared members. In this way, you can get that you don't have to change existing rules file.

First of all, in order to solve this issue, Goto 'Generation of Dimension settings' and on the tab 'Generation of Dimension settings', select 'Move' for current members and "allow changes to property '...
Based on the child-parent relationship, your necessary hierarchy is false.

Loading SQL tables using the rules file
Hi Experts,
I have a doubt. In our project, we have a maxl command that imports the essbase data cube using tables sql below.
import data from database VodaPln.wrkforce
log in as 'devhyp' identified by 'password' using the rules_file «WFDataLoad.rul» Server
My doubt is here in this maxl, we define the schema and password name ('devhyp' identified by 'password'( ), but we do not give the name of the table. So, how will the maxl understand what table to extract the data. Please let me know in case I'm missing something and need to check out somewhere else.
Thanks and greetings
The actual SQL statement is in the State of charge, IT will set the columns, tables where the conditions and joins. The first parameter is the name of user who may or may not be the schema name. This information is containd in the State of charge, but also an ODBC or CLI connection

How to create a hierarchy that is shared using the rules file.
Hello - I am trying to create a shared in Essbase hierarchy that looks similar to the following
-Member 1
Member 2
Member 3
Member 4
Member 5
Member 6
-Member 3
Member 4
Member 5
Member 6
Basically trying to shoot the 3 members 1 member hierarchy and show it separately.
What my rule file should look like this situation.
Grateful for the help.
Thank you.
Well, you can do that, as you describe because your member 3 would be a shared member and shared members cannot have children.
you could do something like
Member 3A
Member 4
Member 5
Member 6
Of course if you really want to watch a member 3 with his children, I don't understand why you need a shared hierarchy you can get the update rollup member 3 in the hierarchy of the primary

Why list of members of the period cannot be used in the rule file to limit the period?
Hello
HFM, I created a list of members period in the members list file.
for example:
Dim aPeriodLists (9)
If HS. Dimension = 'Period' Then
aPeriodLists (1) = "[FcstActMths]".
......
......
===========================
ElseIf HS. Dimension = 'Period' Then
If HS. MemberListID = 1 Then
HS. AddMembertoList "January".
HS. AddMembertoList "February".
===========================
then in the rules file, I created a rule ondemand for datacopy real forecasts, but want to copy for the period of the membership list [FcstActMths].
so as a rule I tried below:
......
For each povPeriod in Hs.Period.List("","[FcstActMths]")
.......
but it does not work, the error indicates:
object does not support this property or method HS. Period.List.
=====================================================================================================================
Then I found that, for the function of list of the object are not period dimension.
But what I want is efficiency above.
Is there another way could do?
=====================================================================================================================
I also tried to create the array, like this:
Dim FcstActMths
FcstActMths = Array ("January", "February")
..........................
For each povPeriod in FcstActMths
.........................
=====================================================================================================================
has not worked either, during the race, the table cannot limit in time that we select...
Hello
The reason why the rules does not run is because you canmot run rules
for each period of your table, but only for the month that is on your
Current POV.
On this basis, you must change your rules and write something similar to:
Table = (month1, Month2,... monthX)
If instr (table, current month) > 0 then
Run rules
End if
I'm sure it will work.
See you soon,.

How to get the substring of the field in the rules file
Hello
I use the Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2.3 version and try to build the size of the area. I have the Code area and description of the region in the source file. But the Description of the region is preceded with another character. Example - "AXX - Asia", "NXX - Netherland" and etc. I don't want to exclude "AXX -", "NXX" - during the generation of dimension. Please could you let me know how to remove these characters through rule files. I want to just generate rule with region Code file and description of the region without these extra characters.
Source file:
Region code | Region / / Desc
AP | AXX - Asia
NL | NXX - Netherland
Build of contour should be:
-AP (Alias: Asia)
-NL (Alias: Netherland)
Thank you
Michel K
Deker suggestion (using find and replace) is useful if you have a list of possible prefixes and that you are happy to have to update the rules file every time that this list is growing. I'm not a fan of this, personally.
If the prefix length is always three characters then you must separate the first six characters of the code (the three characters and then space, hyphen, space). This creates two fields of the original; you ignore the first one and then use the second as an alias.
To split a field into a State of charge, see: splitting fields

deleting a dminesion in the rules file.
Hello
We have an obligation to delete the dimensions before bulding metadata (for a cube of BSo), so can someone help me how to remove the rules hroguh dimensiont file.
Thanks in advacne
You cannot delete a dimension via a rules file. Do you mean you want to delete all members before you rebuild the same dimension or actually delete the dimension altogether?
The only way to remove a side is to have a 'model' or 'stub' expose without the dimension, and then copy it to your real contour (probably after erasure of all data). If what you really want is to rebuild the dimension that contains only members in your source, then the build dimension 'Remove' unspecified setting can be used.

Construction of dimension with a rules file for Hyperion Planning
Hello Experts!
I'm on version 11.1.1.3. I created a classic with 3 Hyperion Planning application plan types, and in EA I have successfully downloaded the same members of dimension entity with the same rules file in each of the 3 contours under my application from HP. Then I've also updated database in the Planning, but I don't see any new dimension member in HP. - could someone help me with what is wrong? Hyperion Planning of work with files of rules for dimension is not build? Thanks in advance!No planning does not work with the rule files, you must load dimensions information directly in the planning, and then push it to essbase.

How to reject the week 41 to 52 from 2007 data in the rules file
Hello
I must dismiss 2007W41 2007W52 according to load data, which means I want just the data up to 2007W40.
Now until I've done is I edited the rule files went to select the Time column > folders > reject > since I have to dismiss more than one, I chose 'and '.
the field is displayed as "Time" at the top
Type string / number of Condition
String 2007W41 contains
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance...I think that you read it wrong
Think of the string aaaaaTo make the rejection criteria in engilish. You want to deny if the string contains aaaa or bath
IF you reject if the string contains yyyy which is good and meets the criteria
If you add and the string contains bbbb it is no longer true because he dones do not contain benamerIf my thong was aaaabbbb then the and would work
If you use a non contains, then youwould have to employ the and instead of the or.
IF the string does not contian aaaa and does not bbbbAll this should not be confused with the global and/or logic that works on multiple columns
