2) Installing and Configuring Hyperion Essbase Adapters

After you create an FDM application, you install and configure the Hyperion Essbase adapters. Hyperion Essbase adapters enable interaction between the FDM application and the Hyperion Essbase applications. Adapters have two componentsDLL/EXE and XML metadata. DLL/EXE files contain the system-specific instructions for interacting with target or source systems. XML files contain all data that relates to the current FDM application.

3) Building Import Format

Import formats are used to define the layout of data files so that they can be loaded into FDM. An import format must be assigned to each data-load location. After creating the import format, the data file layout must remain the same while loading data. If the layout of the data files for a location(s) changes, it must be updated in the import format for that location. Import format tasks: 1. Create import groups 2. Build the import format for each group 3. Assign the import formats to data-load locations Step: 1) Create Import Group select Add button

Step: 2) specify the group name, file type and delimiter.

Step: 3) Add the import layout of the source file
