Use a Conversion File in Different Models

0 Kudos

Hello Experts

We are running BPC Netweaver Version 10, SP21.

I am trying to load 1 csv file into two different Models using two different Transformation Files but 1 Conversion File.

Rather than maintain mapping rules in two Conversion Files, Is it possible to maintain the mapping rules in a single Conversion File and use this in different models?

And if so, how would I reference the change in Model within in the Conversion Section of the Transformation File....

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Jo,

No It' not possible,When you validate the conversion file it's always find the conversion file from current connection server Data manager conversion folder.Another problem is that when you mapping the conversion file in transformation conversion section it's also pick the conversion file from same data manager directory and current connection.But you can use one conversion file multiple model but before you need to save the conversion file current connection data manager folder.

Hi Khokan,

What do you mean by "But you can use one conversion file multiple model but before you need to save the conversion file current connection data manager folder."? If you look on the UJFS folder structure the conversion file locations (Company, private and team) are always linked to the model...

Hi Vadim,

I mean to say if we want to use same conversion file in different model,if both the model have same dimension structure.I thing it's possible if we save the conversion file both the model.As per the content the person want to use single conversion file in two different model by using reference through transformation file and it's not possible. Through UJFS we find the all conversion file are stored in conversion folder.

"I thing it's possible if we save the conversion file both the model" - OK, you mean to save the same file to both models... Unfortunately you will have to manually synchronize both copies.

Thanks Vadim, I'll pass this information onto our Technical Support Team and see if they can help me with this.

Thank You all for your help.

The idea of maintaining a 'master' Conversion File in Model A, before switching connection to Model B and saving into the other Model does  provide a workaround.

It means I only have to maintain mapping in one Conversion File, which reduces the duplication of effort and avoids differences in the mapping rules.

Thanks!

You can also use UJFS transaction to copy conversion files between models... You can even write badi to do this job
