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

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

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

REDWOOD USER EXPERIENCE

As part of the new Redwood experience, we are introducing the Dynamic Tabs feature only within the Redwood theme in the 21.02 update. Dynamic Tabs will allow you to open tabs on the fly, both from a list view or from an existing navigation flow tab to perform related actions. Some use case examples: view drill through from a form in a new temporary tab; view a form in design mode; open Web ad hoc from a form or dashboard; open forms from right-click menus; open dimensions on the fly to view how members are calculated.

"Format code" in PBC/EPBC Calculation Manager

Its been a while I blogged due to my work schedule, but thought I will share this with all on a great handy option that surprised me.

 It’s the “Format Code” in the Calculation Manager. This is the definition from the document When you Format Code, the lines of the script are grouped together and are indented, and blank lines are removed. 

To explain how this works this is my code written before formatting the code,
