Excel Template upload - Data Source setup
Hi All, I'm trying to set up some Excel templates for the uploading Budget and Forecast data. I'm pretty happy with the Excel Template side, with the named range (XFD), and specific header formats, etc. However, I'm a bit lost on the Data Source set up, I get that you have to Allow Dynamic Excel Loads set to True, but what about the rest of the set up? Do I choose Delimited or Fixed file? It feels like this Data Source section is really for flat files, as it always wants to know the column number. I've tried importing the Excel into the Data Source in the same way I would for a csv file, but it just shows up as xml gibberish in the top box. It definitely feels like I'm missing something.Solved4.2KViews2likes3CommentsSo you have upgraded to 7.1.1 version . Check out the known error-
You will get this error during the import step. Reason - The load file doesnt have any data after transformation.( ByPass). The underlying code looks to summarize the data when it finds nothing, it throws an error.1.3KViews1like1Comment"Cannot execute step because the prior workflow step is not completed"
We have Workflow A, and Workflow B. We get an error when the loadCube step in workflow B, when Workflow A is in Validation step. The error we get is "Cannot execute step because the prior workflow step is not completed. . (WP#WorkflowA.Import:S#Actual:T#2022M1)" The name the actual workflow has been changed to protect the innocent. Our question is: what is causing this issue and how do we fix it? It's not clear in the documentation what exactly triggers this error message. The parameters passed back imply that one cannot load to the same scenario and time if another workflow to that scenario and time is still open. WorkflowA and WorkflowB are loading to the same scenario and time, but to different accounts.4.5KViews1like4CommentsFile encoding issue after migrating to 8.2.2
Our customer has been importing ANSI-encoded files to OS, which contains spanish characters, as 'ñ' and accents, for years. These characters were recognized properly until OS 6.8. But after migrating to 8.2.2, they are no long: 'España' is shown in the workflow as 'Espa�a'. This is a big issue for the customer, as they use the workflow stage tables for OS reports and export that data to a Data Warehouse. We have tested encoding a file as UTF-8 and worked, but changing the encoding the files is not a good solution for the customer as they load files from many different sources. This looks related to the migration: Is there any way to load ANSI-encoded files without this problem?Solved698Views1like2CommentsData BI Blend to Cube Connector
Hi, I am trying to load data from BiBlend to cube using a import validate load steps on my workflow and using also a connector, but i truggle a bit onthe connector Businessrule, i would like to know how the BR can connect to my biblend table. I have already done a br connector cube to cube, but never a biblend to cube. if you have any example of the script that i can add to my BR in order to connect the BiBlend Data table it would help a lot. Thanks,Solved1.8KViews1like8CommentsClear data using level 1 data unit (rather than level 2) on data load
Hi all I was wondering if it is possible to override the default 'clear and load' settings on a data load step from 'Level 2: Workflow Data Unit' to 'Level 1: Cube Data Unit' Just to give a bit of context: We perform a data copy from a Budget scenario (using Data Management Sequence) to a Forecast scenario to provide a starting data position for divisions to use when they capture their forecast data. Once the data copy is complete, the process for divisions to update their forecasts is to extract an Excel Fixed File Template on which they will make their changes and additions over the copied Budget data, and then to import that file via their Workflow to the cube. However, when wanting to remove an account for instance, the only way to do so it to load zeros to that account. This is because the load clears by account and not entity. Is it possible to change the load so that it deletes all accounts? Thanks, Mark1.2KViews1like3CommentsHow to show Import Workflow step only for one period
Hello, I have created a Workflow Import Step for Year End Adjustments and I want this specific step to only show up for Month 12 in OnePlace. I don't want users to be able to see this step for every period. Is there a way to do this? Thanks,1.9KViews1like7CommentsRange Scenario - Data Import
I'm trying to load plan data into a range scenario that spans across 2 years. While the workflow view year is 2024, the range is set from 2024M1-2028M12, so the expected result would be that the load can occur for the 2024 and 2025 data that is being loaded in this import step. Is that hypothesis true? The primary question is: What is the difference between workflow view year and workflow range? Additionally there is an icon in the workflow that "cannot import data to time periods 'AFTER' the workflow view year [2024] (see below). In the application properties, there is a setting that allows loads after workflow view year. When this is set to true, the icon goes away and data can be loaded to both years. We are trying to avoid flipping this switch to keep users from accessing any time periods not within the range.1.3KViews1like4CommentsDuplicate Source Lines From Data Source
Hello there, In an Import WF profile, I would like to duplicate all rows where the UD3 member is different than None. In the duplicated row, I need to change the UD3 POV to 'None' I know this can be done easily through 'Derivative Rules', however I am trying to do so in the Data Source through a 'Complex Expression' or 'Business Rule'. PS: This is bad practice since source data should NOT be altered to keep Audit trails, but in my case I am just exploring possible options1.2KViews1like2CommentsData load input string format
