Add Region:
@List(<Row members, Column Members>, Fix members etc)

Click Ok. 

Now Check the Data Form you can find this combination cell like below. Symbol in the cell right corner top.

You can drill through using SmartView also with same Data form. you can find the same in next blog.

Drill through using Data Management from EPBCS to ERP Cloud

 Drill through using Data Management from EPBCS to ERP Cloud

Source System

  •         Go to Setup -> Source System -> Click on Add
  •         Mention Source System Name, Description is optional
  •         Then Select Source System Type as Oracle ERP Cloud
  •         Update Drill Through URL with ERP Cloud URL. 
  •         Click on Configure Source Connection and Enter credentials in the popup.
  • Click on Test Connection and wait for configuration successful message.

     Now, Click on Initialize to connect to the Source System. This process will monitor in Process details tab. Check process is successful or not. This process will create below process in Target application.

  •      Create Location, select Import Format. and Save

    Go to Workflow, Data Load Mapping first, select Location, Period and Scenario. Then Map all source members with Target dimension members. Mainly we are doing this process for Drill back, So, in Account dimension, map all members correctly.

  •     Create Data Load Rule, Execute the rule.

Once it is successful, you can check workbench to verify the data.

Validation:

Once Data Load Rule is successful, we need to validate Drill through process.

       Go to Workbench -> Data Column

        Right click on data column and click on Drill Through to Source Option

Once we click on this, it will take to Source System page.

Other than this, we can test the same from DATA FORM also.

Thanks,

Mady

PBCS - Migration - with dimension name change

To change dimension name while doing Migration from One Environment to Another.

1. Download the snapshot zip file from existing pod on your local machine

2. Unzip the snapshot file on your machine location

3. Download a utility named fart.exe (find and replace text)

4. Run the command in the following way 

a. C:\>fart.exe -r -c -- C:\Backup_Snapshot\* "Dimension A" "Dimension B" 

5. The above will replace all occurrences of Dimension A with Dimension B

6. There will be one dimension file in the folders named Dimension A.csv, rename it to Dimension B.csv

7. Zip the entire folder again, the structure should resemble that of original snapshot zip file

8. Import that structure in new environment and perform migration. 

9. It will succeed with some access related failures, that you can ignore

10. Open the application, validate the forms etc, check rules and Data Integration execution


Validation:

 - Data Forms, Dashboards, Navigation Flows - Migration will be successful

 - Dimensions - Members not same - Mainly in Account dimension some members missing.

 - Rules - In some rules may not change dimension name in Agg function mainly I observed.

 - In Calculation Manager, check Database properties - Member blocks, block size, no.of clocks etc

 - Data Management - Data Load Rules not showing up, Please validate all settings: Source system, Target Application, Import Format, Location, Data Load Rule, Data Load Mapping etc.


Thanks,
