Map the Dimensions in the Source to the Dimensions in the Target

The next step in the process is to map the dimensions from the Row-based-dates.txt file to the dimensions in the target Planning application. For this integration we will use a single expression for the HSP_view dimension, and we will add the Period dimension and assign the column from the Row-based-dates.txt file to this dimension.

  1. On the Edit Integration screen, leave the Type set to Delimited – Numeric Data, and map the source dimensions for Account, Amount, Entity, Product, and Version to the target dimensions as shown.

  2. Enter an expression for the HSP_View dimension.

    For the HSP_View dimension, we will use an expression instead of a mapping rule, and we will set a value of "BaseData" as the default.

    1. In the HSP_View row, select Gear button, and then select Edit Target Expression.

  3. Add the Period dimension to the dimension mapping after the HSP_View dimension.

    1. In the HSP_View row, select Gear button, then select Add Source Period, and then select Period.

    2. In the newly-created Period row, select Period from the drop-down or type Period in the File column.
