Data Extract from Planning using Data Management - Tips

 Hi All, Data Extract from Planning using Data Management already documented with steps. You can check that with below link. 

Data Extract from Planning using DM

Here, I am updating few steps, which may confuse for someone. 

1. Source is our Planning application.
2. Target we need to create as Data Export in Applications in Data Exchange page.
3. File format which you will update must be with Period dimension.
4. Amount or data - no need to mention, as system will automatically will take. If you mention in file it will show up in application details as member or dimension, which may show up double in Import Format.
5. Period - select as Period not to be as generic like other dimensions in dimensions list.
6. While creating data load rule, you can select filters, if you want to extract particular data.
7. To pull alias of particular member, you select as below:
1. Account -- map with Account member
2. Account -- map with Account Alias member
8. If you don't select Period as Period, and if it is generic in dimensions list, you will get amount in Period in Workbench.
9. Some Alias may have names with comma, which will mess up exported csv file. Better to use Pipe symbol.
10. You can use .txt format also to get data in correct format.

OneStream - Data Sources - Formats to load data

 We can load data using below methods into OneStream

1. Fixed Format
2. Delimited format
3. Connectors
4. Data Management

Fixed format, where you can find fixed spaces in the file which we will prepare or get from Sources.

Delimited Format, where you can find delimiters in the file, which we can the settings

Connectors, where you can write business rule to connect to the source system, using connection string details.

Data Management, where you can import, validate, load, etc to load data into OneStream.

Thanks

Oracle EPM Planning (PBCS): Unable to download the file: details: Invalid file : FCC_2385.log

When trying load data from FCC to PBCS, I found below error in the logs, states that Unable to download the file along with Invalid log file.

Generally, This error occurred whenever we trying to pull data with no filters in Data load rule, so that lot of members/data will be involved to data load process from Source to Target.

 Planning log:

2024-07-31 09:34:05,019 ERROR [AIF]: Unable to download the file: {"details":"Invalid file : SFCC_2385.log.","status":1,"links":[{"href":"https://epm-test-axxxxx.epm.us.oraclecloud.com:443/interop/rest/11.1.2.3.600/applicationsnapshots/SFCC_2385.log/contents","action":"GET","rel":"self","data":null}]}

2024-07-31 09:34:05,023 INFO  [AIF]: EssbaseService.extractData - END (false)

2024-07-31 09:34:05,029 FATAL [AIF]: Error in CommData.extractDataFromSource

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 2862, in extractDataFromSource

RuntimeError: false

URL in the above log showing invalid file, so when I verified in the FCC log, it is sating as below

FCC log:

2024-08-01 03:00:16,759 ERROR [AIF]: Cannot perform cube view operation. Essbase Error(1024015): Request [MdxReport] from user [epm_default_xxx_admin] was terminated by an admin user

2024-08-01 03:00:16,801 INFO  [AIF]: EssbaseService.extractData - END (false)

2024-08-01 03:00:16,801 ERROR [AIF]: false

2024-08-01 03:00:16,814 INFO  [AIF]: FDMEE Process End, Process ID: 2,385

Solution that Oracle suggested:

1. In the Data load rule, create filters for each dimensions to export less number of records.
2. Create multiple Data Load rules to export the data to the target application by applying different set of filters as needed.

OIC - How to schedule an Integration

 Scheduling an Integration in OIC also bit tricky, if you are working as a beginner. There are few limitations, as per Oracle mentioned, we cannot schedule integration within 10 minutes if you are using 

Click on 3 lines once you activated the Integration.

In the actions list, you can schedule, click on schedule.

Click on Edit button on the Top-right corner

You can select Simple or iCal option to schedule as per you requirement.

In Simple selection, you can schedule the integration to execute in frequency of below mentioned and showed in screen shot.

• Hours and Minutes
• Days
• Weeks
• Months

In Case of, you want to schedule other than the default options in Simple, you can select iCal option, where you can update Expression to schedule the integration. 

For Example: To schedule integration to execute in weekdays, 2 times a day. you can use below code.

FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;BYHOUR=2,14;BYMINUTE=30;

Usage commands:

INTERVAL

BYSECOND

BYMINUTE

BYHOUR

BYDAY

BYMONTHDAY

BYYEARDAY

BYWEEKNO

BYMONTH

BYSETPOS

WKST

enddate = date

enddate =/ date-time ;An UTC value

byseclist = seconds / ( seconds *(“,” seconds) )

seconds = 1DIGIT / 2DIGIT ;0 to 59

byminlist = minutes / ( minutes *(“,” minutes) )

minutes = 1DIGIT / 2DIGIT ;0 to 59

byhrlist = hour / ( hour *(“,” hour) )

hour = 1DIGIT / 2DIGIT ;0 to 23

bywdaylist = weekdaynum / ( weekdaynum *(“,” weekdaynum) )

weekdaynum = [([plus] ordwk / minus ordwk)] weekday

plus = “+”

minus = “-”

ordwk = 1DIGIT / 2DIGIT ;1 to 53

weekday = “SU” / “MO” / “TU” / “WE” / “TH” / “FR” / “SA”

Oracle EPM Planning/PBCS - Data not showing up in Data Management Workbench

 In Data Management, workbench if it shows, Gold fish, we will be happy as much as we earn Real GOLD or Gold Fish. Why because, Data Management will show this gold fish after lot of steps only, if you do correctly. Otherwise, even you can't find out the issue at which step it is failing, not every time, but some times. 

This post is about simple step only but, we must know that we need to enable these option to see data, otherwise even though Gold fish is showing up, you can't see data in workbench, you don't even know about what happening, whether it is working or not.

If you are extracting data from Planning, and data not showing up in workbench, then check below steps to enable or see the data.

Navigate >> Click on Data Exchange in Application section >> Actions >> Applications >> Click ... 3 dots(last column, under actions) in particular application then Select Application Details >> Select options >> Select Workflow Mode as full, then only you can see data in Data Management Workbench.

Oracle EPM Planning/PBCS - Error Resolutions in Data Management

 While we work on Data Management, more often we will face these issues:

As these Message Number and Contents are self-explainer, as I found some information, I am posting here, 2 issues solution.

Error 3303: This issue is about member not found, which means member itself is missing in the database. 

Solution: So, We can add member in dimension, and try to load again.

Error 3335: Mapped target dimension member does not exists (or) the same member name exists in more than one dimension. 

Solution: Check whether the mapping is defined properly, target value mentioned in Mapping should exist in Target Application. Also, check that the same member name does not exists in more than one dimension. 

We will add more....

Thanks,

Mady
