Steps to Load Data Into Essbase

Set up the source and target systems.

Create an import format

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.

Export the data to Essbase

Set up the source and target systems.
As previously, one can load data into Planning using Essbase load rule, free form 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.

In Workspace, Navigate > Administer >

There are two components in
Data Management. FDMEE starts from here,
FDMEE, Workflow and Setup
which called ERP integrator before.

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.

Set up the source and target systems.

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.

 Create an import format

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 comma. The following columns are included in the file:

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

www.bispsolutions.com
 Create an import format
To 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 (Vision_Load), source system (File), file type (Delimited), file delimiter (Comma), and
target application (Vision). You also specify the URL for drill through.

 Create an import format
To 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.

Define the location, period, and category

www.bispsolutions.com
 Define the location, period, and category

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.

 Define the location, period, and category
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.

www.bispsolutions.com
 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.

www.bispsolutions.com
 Set up the data load mappings
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.

and Version.

Create and execute a data load rule to import and validate the
source data.
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, Vision_Load,
and select the data load file name. In this example, you load the file PL_Load.txt.
Note: If the file information is left blank, the user will be prompted to select a file at run time

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

With the rule selected, click Execute.  In the Execute

Rule dialog box, you define the options for running
the rule.
