Europe SWIFT File
Hello, I have a SWIFT Bank file from a client based in Europe that I need to import. I thought this would be similar to a BAI file and could use the OS BAI Parser solution to grab the necessary information, but the format isn't as similar as I thought. Is there any other tool for parsing out a SWIFT file or will this require some custom logic?
Cube views and Parameters
Hi All, I encounter this issue while opening a cube view from a form template in the Workflow. The same cube view opens without any issues directly but if you try opening the same via the workflow, it gives this error "Cube Views used for Forms cannot use parameters when referencing other cube views for Shared rows or columns. Unable to resolve substitution variable <paramtere_name>" .Some detail worth mentioning here is that we are using paramters for formatting and in one of those formatting parameters we are using another parameter. Has anyone encountered something like this and how did you overcome it. Thanks for your help 🙂 KR ArpitImport .CSV data source with 2 matrix
Hi. I have a .csv file that i am importing as a Matrix. I have 4 columns that each has different UD6 member. Problem is, one of the columns also have a different Account than the other 3. Can I somehow do a double matrix, or pull the data from the one column in another way. I would like to see if I can avoid loading the file multiple times or manipulate it otherwise before load. Appreciate any suggestions :) Details: Column1: U6#TECH1:A#0210 Column2: U6#TECH2:A#0210 Column3: U6#TECH3:A#0210 Column4 :U6#UnallocTech:A#0205
How to check data load status of WFs with load overlapped siblings enabled
Hi, Is there a way to check status of all load overlapped siblings enabled WFs? The issue is that we have bunch of overlapped data WFs (even after L3 data unit) and people are stepping on each other, doubling the amounts every time someone loads their WF while other WF data load is in progress. Wanted to try event handler and message showing load is in progress. Any other ideas to avoid this are also appreciated. Thank you, Mikki
SendMail input string not in the form for an e-mail address
Hello everyone, We recently made the jump from version 7 to 9, and a rule that was previously working is now throwing an error. We are trying to use the BRApi.Utilities.SendMail functionality after a certification is done through the DataQualityEventHandler, but OS is giving us the following message when executing the certification The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address. We verified the toEmailAddresses parameter is a List(Of String) with a single item in the format "user@mail.com". What can be causing this issue?
Workflow Import - Clearing cube data in v9
Hello, we recently upgraded to v9 and noticed that we can no longer clear WF imported cube data using the "Clear" option through the workflow import (snip below). Prior to the upgrade, we could clear the stage data, then run import/validate/load to clear the data that was imported to the cube. Now, this option only clears the data from stage and in order to clear the data loaded to the cube, we have to use a data management step. In our case, this is now difficult because the data loaded may be specific to workflow channels and also use multiple dimension criteria and not just Entity (used by DM step). Is anyone else having this issue? Are there any other methods to removing the imported data via csv file from the cube other than a DM step? If we try to run the old process in v9. Clear, then Retransform, Load to clear cube data. This error appears.
Derivative Rule
Alo I’m trying to create a Source Derivative Rule that takes each inbound Stage row and produces **two** output rows. The first row should remain completely unchanged. The second row should be an exact duplicate of the first, except the **FERC** field must be replaced with the value from **A8**. I’ve confirmed that Rule Expressions cannot duplicate rows, and the `Transformer` object in Source Derivative Rules does not expose methods like `GetInputRow` or `GetSourceRecord`. I’m looking for the correct, supported API pattern for duplicating a Stage row inside a Source Derivative Rule, or confirmation that this must be done in a different rule type (e.g., Target Derivative Rule). Any examples would be greatly appreciated
Multiple source columns to a single target dim based on hierarchical relationships - Mapping
Hello Experts, Here's the scenario: We have a flat file coming from the client's source with multiple source columns. We need "Region", "Cost Center", and "Business Unit" in this case from the file to build the solution. We have developed an unique UD2 dimension in the app which will act as a target dimension for these 3 source columns(Region, CC, & BU). Creating a one to one mapping for all the possible combinations for (Region, CC, & BU) would be tedious. Currently, we are thinking of writing a Complex Expression in the UD2(target) transformational rule, that would first lookup the parent values of all the base members from the 3 columns combination and return the respective value of it's target. Something like the below snippet. Any sample code or alternative solution would be really helpful. Thanks! Dim U1 As String = args.GetTarget("U1#") Dim U3 As String = args.GetTarget("U3#") Dim U4 As String = args.GetTarget("U4#") Dim objDimPk As DimPk = BRApi.Finance.Dim.GetDimPk(si, CostCenter) Dim sValue As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, dimTypeId, memberName) Dim eValue As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, dimTypeId, memberName) Dim bValue As Boolean = BRApi.Finance.Members.IsDescendant(si, objDimPk, sValue, eValue, dimDisplayOptions) If (U1 = "ABC" And IsDescendant(U4, "CostCenter", "XYZ")) Then Return "TARGETUD2" Else Return "" End If
