Transformation Rules - Possible Bug
I have an issue, since we migrated to V9, OS is adding on its own a space after transforming a member and this prevent us from loading the data to the member. (This is in the validation step when it fails) Data source has been checked, adjusted, and tested in many ways. The extra space doesn't come from here. Transformation rules have also been tested in many ways, and the space is also not here, we event tried one-to-one, masks, all ,and this is not the issue The error is only happening with 2 UD3 members US4 & CA4 both ending in 4, I created a fake one for testing "US41" and this one works fine. I have been checking with OS support, but they just want to repeat over and over the same testing we already did with them on a call To me, after checking all that I could, seems like a bug in the new V9.1, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.The supplied Workflow Time is more than 3 periods after the last import period
We are currently in the process of upgrading to OFC PV840-SV112 and just applied the upgrade to our Customer Acceptance Testing Application where we have our imports and matching running daily. However, the amount of data imported is much less in this applicationas it is using a test database to import the data from and one of the matchsets has not imported any data for many months. The matching step for that matchset erred out a couple of days after the upgrade with the message "The supplied Workflow Time is more than 3 periods after the last import period". We discovered that if we loaded just one "dummy" row for the matchset that the error stopped happening. My questions are - has anyone else noticed this? And, if so, is there a setting somewhere to either turn this check on or off or increase the number of months that it looks back? Thanks for any information you can provide.14Views0likes0CommentsFTP File Load Best Practice
When I pull a flat file from an SFTP server, I have been parsing that file in VB .net into a Data Table and loading it that way. Is this the best way to do this, or is there a way to make the Import read the file from the filesystem once it has been downloaded? I feel like parsing a csv file using Split() is risky. Thanks, ScottSolved26Views0likes2CommentsExecution Timeout Expired
Error Message: Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. Operation cancelled by user. The statement has been terminated. (SQL Error Number -2146232060, -2, 0, 3621). The wait operation timed out This happened after running Load and Transform for one of my import workflows. Any idea what's causing this? It stops at the PostFileArchives stage:29Views0likes1CommentData Cell is read-only because Parent Workflow Profile has no active Input Profiles
Hi all, I have an Import, Validate, Load workflow that hasn't been used for a while. I'm trying to load in data and I'm getting invalid intersections at the validation stage with the following error message: "Data Cell is read-only because Parent Workflow Profile 'Workflow Name' has no active Input Profiles for the Workflow Channels that are assigned to the Data Cell's Account and/or UD member. Entity = Entity, Account=Volume, Origin=Import" Note I've use italics instead of using our entity names and workflow names. We didn't have this issue before so I'm not sure what has changed. The parent workflow profile stated in the validation message isn't actually the parent workflow profile so I'm totally confused. There is another post on this but I didn't understand the resolution. Could somebody please tell me what I would need to do to fix this? Thanks!Solved4.4KViews0likes5CommentsError when accessing the Workflow Import step
Hi Everyone, I was recently working within a Demo Environment where I suddenly started getting error message when trying to access the import step in the Load and Transform (Import) step in the Import Workflow. The Error above pops up every time anyone tries to access the Load and Transform (Import) step. Have anyone seen this issue before and knows how to fix it? NOTE: This issue is the same across all applications in this environment. Thanks, HamzaSolved282Views0likes4CommentsBusiness Rule | One-to-One Transformation - E# Parent to its first E# Base

We have been tasked with importing a file that has a large number of variable columns. For the sake of easy explanation, let's say the first five columns are standard (time, entity, ud1, ud2, ud3) but the file could have from 50 to 150 additional columns, one for each account. If there is no data for the account, there is no column for it. New accounts could appear in the future without warning. No, we don't have the ability to change the format of the report. (Oh, how I wish.) I have thought up several ways of making this work but each is fraught with its own type of peril. Create a new, custom table dynamically to stage the data. Parse the column names from the file. Use the column name list to run a new SQL query to unpivot. Parse the file in-memory to manually unpivot by parsing each data column and adding rows to a datatable, then returing the full data table. Maintain a list of the columns we care about the most, parse the file in advance and save the column name/position maps to parameters/a lookup table. Use up every possible attribute/value field in a data source to stage to BI Blend and try to unpivot from there. Hope they never need more "important" columns than OS can handle. (This is similar to option 1 but we're not stuck dropping/creating a custom table ourselves and we have more consistent column names.) Write a manual file-parser that creates a new, sane text file and then imports that instead. (Seems wasteful. If I can get it this far, I can probably just do it in-memory, ie, option 2.) Some other, better idea that I haven't thought of yet.Solved59Views0likes2Comments
