Load Preformatted Balances into a Period

Use these scripts to import mapped data from an uploaded file into an Account Reconciliation environment.

Windows Sample Script

Create a file named runPreformattedBalances.ps1 by copying the following script. Store it in a local directory.
$inputproperties = ConvertFrom-StringData(Get-Content ./input.properties -raw)
$username="$($inputproperties.username)"
$passwordfile="$($inputproperties.passwordfile)"
$serviceURL="$($inputproperties.serviceURL)"
$dataFile="$($inputproperties.dataFile)"
$period="$($inputproperties.period)"
$balanceType="$($inputproperties.balanceType)"
$currencyBucket="$($inputproperties.currencyBucket)"

$elements=$dataFile.split('/')
$dataFileName=$elements[-1]

epmautomate login ${username} ${passwordfile} ${serviceURL}
epmautomate uploadfile ${dataFile}
epmautomate importpremappedbalances ${period} ${dataFileName} ${balanceType} ${currencyBucket}
epmautomate deletefile ${dataFileName}
epmautomate logout

Linux/UNIX Sample Script

Create a file named runPreformattedBalances.sh by copying the following script. Store it in a local directory.
#!/bin/bash

. ./input.properties

export JAVA_HOME=${javahome}

dataFileName=$(echo "${dataFile}" | rev | cut -d'/' -f1 | rev)

${epmautomatescript} login "${username}" "${passwordfile}" "${serviceURL}"
${epmautomatescript} uploadfile "${dataFile}"
${epmautomatescript} importpremappedbalances "${period}" "${dataFileName}" "${balanceType}" "${currencyBucket}"
${epmautomatescript} deletefile "${dataFileName}"
${epmautomatescript} logout

Sample input.properties File

To run the runPreformattedBalances scripts, create the input.properties file and update it with information for your environment. Save the file in the directory where runPreformattedBalances.sh or runPreformattedBalances.ps1 is stored.
