This document provides steps to extract metadata and build hierarchies from Hyperion Planning using Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). It describes how to connect ODI to Hyperion Planning, reverse engineer the Planning metadata into ODI, and load dimension data from flat files into Planning dimensions using ODI interfaces. The document is intended to guide users through setting up the required ODI objects, mappings, and executions to integrate data between flat files and Hyperion Planning dimensions.

3. Extracting Hyperion Planning Metadata to Oracle
Data Integrator
Step: 1) Go to Start Program Files Oracle Oracle Data Integrator explore ODI and login
to work repository.
Step: 2) After successfully login to work repository go to Topology Navigator select
Physical Architecture Tab and select Technology and expand it. Go to the Hyperion
Planning Right Click and select ‘New Data Server’.

4. Step: 3) In the definition tab enter the following details as shown in the picture below:
Step: 4) Click on Save it will ask you to create physical schema press ‘OK’.
Step:5) In Technology Tab go to Hyperion Planning expand it and select newly create data
server Right Click and select ‘New Physical schema’.

5. Step:7) In the definition tab enter the Planning Application name to which you want to
connect.
Step: 8) Click on Save it will ask you to specify the context press ‘OK’.
Step: 9) Go to the Logical Architecture tab Expand Technologies and select Hyperion
Planning Right-click and select ‘New Logical Schema’.

6. Step: 10) Give appropriate name to logical schema and set the Context to Hyperion
planning physical schema.
Step: 11) Click on ‘Save’.
Step: 12) Go to the ODI Designer and create new Project with appropriate name.
Step: 13) Click on ‘Save’. You can check in the project tab
Step: 14) Expand project go to knowledge module right click and import following
knowledge modules.
RKM Hyperion Planning
LKM File to SQL
IKM SQL to Hyperion Planning

9. Step: 17) Now go to the model tab and create new model.
Step: 18) In the definition tab enter the details
Step:19) Go to the Reverse Engineer tab select customize check box and enter details as
follows:

10. Step:20) ‘Save’
Step:21) Newly created Model will be available for Reverse Engineering go to Model tab
select Hyperion planning model and Right Click and select Reverse Engineers. Before
Reverse Engineer the models make sure your agent services are running if not start it with
following command:
C:oracleMiddlewareOracle_ODI1oraclediagentbin>agent –NAME=localagent
Step: 22) Now you can reverse engineer it.

11. Press ‘OK’.
Step: 23) Go to the Operator Tab check whether the Execution run successfully or not.
If all the checks are green that means your model reversed successfully.
Step: 24) Go to the Designer and open model tab expand Hyperion planning model again.
You can check all the dimensions are visible there from your planning application.

12. Dimension Loading to Hyperion Planning
Application
Pre-Requisite Steps
ODI cannot create the Planning Application
The application will have to be created in Planning first
All the dimensions will have to be defined first in Planning
One dimension load per interface
Chained interfaces in Packages to do multiple dimension loads
Uses Hyperion RMI Service
Loads into interface tables
Refresh to Essbase available
Once you have completed the file make sure you save it in the file store directory you set up
in the topology manager, in my case:
“C:oracleMiddlewareOracle_ODI1oraclediDemoPlanningAccount_Dim_Load.csv”
Now we have to create a model and datastore that will pick up the file. Insert a new
DataStore and give it a name and if you click browse for file button it should open up in the
correct directory and you can select the csv file.

13. In the files tab as we are using a CSV file then choose Fie Format as delimited, the file has a
header row so it was set to 1, the field separator was set to other and as a comma (,)

14. click the Columns tab then the Reverse button and all being well the file structure should be
retrieved.

15. Ok we have created the source and target elements so now we have to put them together to
bring them together and this is done by creating an interface, back to the projects tab and
insert a new interface. Give it a name and make sure the context is selected, next check
“Staging Area Different from Target” and choose “SUNOPSIS_MEMORY_ENGINE”.
This allows any transformations between the source and target to be handled by the
memory engine, an example being if you have a column header named DS in the source file
and in the planning target it goes to Data Storage then the memory engine will handle this
mapping.
Go to mapping tab first drag you Account Flat file datastore from the models window into
the source window and then drag the reversed account dimension datastore into the target
window, select yes for the automatic mapping. What this will do is automatically map the
column headings of your file to the target planning dimension, if you create the file with
exactly the same headings as the dimension properties then you will have less work to do.
Once you have completed the entire mappings click on the Flow tab and a diagram should
be displayed outlining the process.

16. If you click on the Target there are a number of options available like setting up error
logging and the ability to refresh to Essbase after the load has completed.
After applying changes you can execute the interface and the data in the file should be
loaded into planning, you can check in the Operator to see how the process went.
