Data Loading into HFMUsing

FDMEE 11.1.2.4

Hands-On Activity#2

Set up the source and target systems. As previously, one can load data into HFM, using direct data load load. or even smartview can be used. Unlike with load rule, in FDMEE the Data and Metadata is loaded into staging table and followed by target application. One has to register the source system from which you want to import data. In this example we are using file-based source system. FDMEE creates a file-based source system automatically when you install and configure the product. You must also register the target application (for example, Planning) to which you want to load the data from one or more source systems.

Target Planning Application



Steps to Load Data Into EssbaseSet up the source and target

systems.

Define the location, period, and category

Set up the data load mappings

Create and execute a data load rule to import and validate the source

data.

Create an import format

Export the data to Planning



In Workspace, Navigate > Administer > Data Management. FDMEE starts from here, which called ERP integrator before.

There are two components in FDMEE, Workflow and Setup

Set up the source and target systems.



In the Setup Tab, click "System Settings" in Configure > Input Value for "Application Root Folder" > Click "Save" > Click "Create Application Folders"




Click "Application Settings" > Input Value for "Application Root Folder" > Click "Save" > Click "Create Application Folders"




You can find the FDMEE related file folders are created in the specified path in the server.

On the Setup tab, under Register, select Source System. The Source System Summary grid displays the File source system.




In the "File : Details" grid you can define the URL for drill through

Under Register, select Target Application. Confirm that the Planning Application that you want to load data to, is included as a valid target application. If it hasn’t been included, you’ll need to add it. (Image shown in next slide)




Target Application

In the Application Details grid for the target application(Hyperion Planning Vision), you specify the dimension details and application options. The Dimension Details tab shows the dimensions in the Hyperion Planning.



In FDMEE, you create an import format based on the source type that you want to load to the target application. The import format defines the layout of source data.

In this tutorial, you define the layout of a source data file that includes fields delimited by a semi-colon. The following columns are included in the file:

Create an import format

In the import format, you define the location of these columns and map them to dimensions in the target application



Create an import formatTo create the import format, perform the following steps:1) Under Integration Setup, select Import Format.2) On the Import Format page, click Add to add an import format. Under Details, enter the import format name (HFM_Load), source system (File), file type (Delimited), file delimiter (Semi-Colon), and target application (HFM_Load). You also specify the URL for drill through.



Create an import formatTo create the import format, perform the following steps:a) The below mapping shows how source Dimension mapped to target application. In the below example, the mapping is straight forward one to one mapping between dimensions from Source Column to target.



Define the location, period, and category After defining the import format, you create a location and specify the import format for the location. The location combines related mapping and data load rules into a logical grouping. You also review the period and category for the data load.Perform the following steps to add a location and review the period and category definitions:Under Integration Setup, select Location, and click Add to add a location.



Under Integration Setup, select Period Mapping to review the period definitions on the Global Mapping page. You define period mappings in FDMEE to map your source system data to Period dimension members in the EPM target application. You can define period mappings at the Global, Application, and Source System levels.




Under Integration Setup, select Category Mapping to review the category definitions. You define category mappings to map source system data to target Scenario dimension members.




Set up the data load mappings You create data load mappings in FDMEE to map source dimension members to their corresponding target application dimension members. You define the set of mappings for each combination of location, period, and category to which you want to load data. Perform the following steps to define the data load mappings:In FDMEE, click the Workflow tab. Under Data Load, select Data Load Mapping.



You must select the Point of View (POV) to define the data load mappings for a specific location, period, and category. At the bottom of the page, click the current location name and define the POV in the Select Point of View dialog box.

Set up the data load mappings(Point of View (POV) )



On the Data Load Mapping page, define the mappings for the Entity, Account, Product and Version.





On the Data Load Mapping page, define the mappings for the Entity, Account, Product and Version. Similarly map other dimension members with source file.s



Your next step in FDMEE is to create a data load rule for a specific location and category to define what you want to import from the source system. For example, the data load rule defines the file(s) that you want to import in addition to other details. After creating the data load rule, you execute it to import the data for one or more periods. You then verify that the data was imported and transformed correctly, and then export the data to the target application.Perform the following steps to define and execute the data load rule, and then verify that the data was imported and transformed:On the Workflow tab, under Data Load, select Data Load Rule.

Create and execute a data load rule to import and validate the source data.



Click Add to add a data load rule. In the Details grid, specify the data load rule name, HFM_Data_Load, and select the data load file name. In this example, you load the file HFM_Data_Load.txt.Note: If the file information is left blank, the user will be prompted to select a file at run time




With the rule selected, click Execute. In the Execute Rule dialog box, you define the options for running the rule.





Finally validate the data login into Smartview and selecting the same Dimension member intersections. As given below.
