What would happen if….
In FDMEE
Do not change an existing source system Utilize a new ODI context Create new FDMEE metadata
…My Source System Changes
Changing source systems could impact drill through
Changing source systems could impact data quality (pre 2.4)
Existing Source Systems
Global context for File & OIA Environment specific context for source system
connections● SourceEnvironment_To_TargetEPMEnvironment
● Ex: QA_to_Dev, Prod_to_Dev, Prod_to_Prod
● Add new Physical, do not modify Logical
Utilizing Contexts
Naming conventions are critical Be consistent Do not include target in naming convention
Adding FDMEE Metadata
Why Do App Names change?● Development cycles● New application for testing● Year specific applications
What can I do?● Life Cycle Management● Database Surgery● Manually Rebuild
…My Target Application Name Changes
Register New Target Application Export existing target application Manually modify LCM export Import modified LCM export Verify Metadata
Life Cycle Management
This is not supported, use at your own risk! Register New Target Application Note new & existing target application keys Change existing target application key to highest key+1 Change newly registered target application to existing
target application key Change existing target application key to original new
target application key Verify metadata and data
Database Modification
Everything can change except Include Account Description
…My SAP Adaptor Settings Change
Create multiple DLRs Modify Target Options as needed
…I Need Different Integration Options for 1 Target Application
Utilize mapping scripts (No explicit maps*)
…I Needed to Map Based on the Balance
Sample Use Cases● Same account, different data type (dollars & units)● Override ICP based on HFM account settings
…I Need to Override a Map
Pros Cons
Multidimension Maps • No coding needed• Relatively easy to
create / maintain
• Only applicable for source dimensions
• Excludes use of Explicit maps
• Performance penalty
SQL Map • Can be used with source and target dimensions
• Can impact multiple dimensions at once
• Allows use of Explicit Maps
• Excellent performance
• Requires minor SQL coding knowledge
Mapping Overrides
From Load Data, Show Invalid Data● Export to Excel
Write a script to query the data table where target columns are null/blank
…I Needed All Unmapped Members
Specify a source system mapping
…I’m Running an OIA DLR for Multiple Periods
Run each period individually Use MAXL for pre and post calc execution
● Only runs for first period in the range Create windows/unix batch script to run each
period individually but in a loop● loaddata USER PASSWORD RULE_NAME
IMPORT_FROM_SOURCE EXPORT_TO_TARGET EXPORT_MODE IMPORT_MODE LOAD_FX_RATE START_PERIOD_NAME END_PERIOD_NAME SYNC_MODE
…I’m Running an Essbase DLR for Multiple Periods
File an enhancement request Write custom scripts
…I Wanted Intersection Checking for Essbase
Create the custom script Register the script
● Assign Parameters Execute the script
…I Needed to Prompt a User For Input for a Script
fdmAPI.getCustomScriptParameterValue(“PARAMETER NAME")
Custom Script Creation
Parameter Name must match call in script Query definitions can be used to populate a
pick list
Custom Script Registration
Executing the Script
LCM (Preferred)● Export items using LCM● Modify the LCM export● Import using LCM
Excel Interface (Use with Caution)● Must know table dependencies & constraints
…I Needed to Duplicate Batch Definitions/Script Registration
BI Publisher Add-In for Word is required for new layouts
Create/modify query definition● Generate sample XML● Load sample XML into BI Publisher
Create/modify RTF● Translate to specific language
● Translation Extract Text
Create/Duplicate Report Definition
…I Need to Create a New Report
LCM (FDMEE Metadata)● Enable/Disable Validation● Select Items to Export
● Do Not Export Source Adaptors, System Settings
● Manually create source and target systems in target environment
● Import LCM export from source into target environment
File System Copy (FDMEE Scripts) Database copy is not recommended
…I Need to Promote Changes through SDLC
What Doesn’t Work● Closing the Browser● Resetting the status in process details
What Does Work● Terminating the ODI process then resetting the
status in process details● Restarting the FDMEE service then resetting the
status in process details
…I Need to Kill an FDMEE Process
Right click ODI session and choose Stop Immediate
In Process Details, highlight the process ID and choose reset status
