Associating Data Manager Rule Sets With a Job

The next step in the Data Manager process is associating the rule set with a Data Manager job. Each unique run of the Data Manager engine is given a job ID. You must establish an association to the rules and the actual job that will run them on the Job Association page. When the jobstream that contains the defined Data Manager job ID runs, it uses the setup on the Job Association page to find the Data Manager rule set to execute.

Note: Each time that you run an EPM engine, it must have a unique job ID. These jobs must then be run in a jobstream.

This topic discusses how to define rule sets to be run for a given job.

Pages Used to Associate Data Manager Rule Sets With a Job

Page Name	Definition Name	Navigation	Usage
Job Association	MD_JOB_RULESET_TBL	select EPM Foundation, then select Data Enrichment Tools, then select Data Manager, then select Job Association, then select Job Association	Define rule sets to be run for a given job ID. The order in which these rule sets are run is also defined.
Job Association - Notes	MD_JOB_RULESET_TB2	select EPM Foundation, then select Data Enrichment Tools, then select Data Manager, then select Job Association, then select Notes	Describe the job association.

Prerequisites

Before you can associate rule sets with job, you must:

Set up the Data Manager job ID.
Set up a jobstream for the job ID.

See Understanding Jobstreams.

Job Association Page

Use the Job Association page (MD_JOB_RULESET_TBL) to define rule sets to be run for a given job ID. The order in which these rule sets are run is also defined.

Navigation

select EPM Foundation, then select Data Enrichment Tools, then select Data Manager, then select Job Association, then select Job Association

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Job Association page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Job ID

Select the job ID. The job ID was created in the job metadata and represents a unique instance of a Data Manager engine in a jobstream.

Ledger ID

Select a ledger ID. This is required for the Profit Manager.

See Processing and Posting Journals.

Sequence

Enter a number, such as 100, for the first rule set in the job association. The next rule set to run would have a sequence of 200. The actual sequence number is not important; it represents the order in which you want to process rule sets. The sequence must be unique.

Rule Set

Select the rule set or rule sets to include in the job. You create rule sets on the Data Manger Rule Set - Assignment Rule Sets page.
