Running Data Management rules using REST API (PBCS/EPBCS)

REST API allows running the Data Management rules using the following two job type methods

• DATARULE
• INTEGRATION

DATARULE - is an older method for running the Data Management whereas INTEGRATION is the updated version of DATARULE method.

In this blog let's see how to invoke a Data Management rule using the INTEGRATION method using Postman.

Migrating Data Maps between PBCS/EPBCS instances

Migrating Data Maps between PBCS/EPBCS instances

This is applicable only for the data maps created by the Admins/Users, Not for the system created ones like the following 

For the Custom-created Data Maps, you can migrate using LCM

Navigate to the Tools 

 

Under Migration, Go to the Core 

Things to note while loading Date Format values using Data Management into EPBCS/PBCS!

We all have loaded non-numeric (Text, Date & Smartlist, etc..) using the Data Management (FDMEE cloud). I thought I will reiterate the common mistakes done while loading the All data types data.

  

• Check All Data Type (for Delimited or Multi Column)– under File Type in Import Format is selected.

The first step to verify the Import Format is set to Multi Column -All Data Type or Delimeted- All Data Type as Numeric data will not load Date format data.

In this screenshot, i am loading the Date to the member OCX_Purchase Date

What is changing in EPM Cloud from Jan 2021 – Part 2

 

RUNBUSINESSRULE EPM AUTOMATE COMMAND - CHANGE OF BEHAVIOR

Starting with the 21.05 update, the runBusinessRule EPM Automate command will no longer let you run a ruleset against Planning, Planning Modules, Financial Consolidation and Close, and Tax Reporting applications. Instead, you should use the runRuleSet command to launch business rulesets using EPM Automate.

If you currently use scripts that use the runBusinessRule command to launch rulesets, you must modify them to use the runRuleSet command.

Copy data in a ASO cube between members of a same dimension!!!

 I came across a request to copy data between versions for an EPBCS application, absolutely a common request but this is for an ASO Cube. We all have done 100 times this on a BSO cube but for me, this was the first request on an ASO cube.

Let I narrate the process to copy data in an ASO cube between members of the same dimension

 

• Create a new rule in the calculation manager under the respective ASO cube
