Override Selections of the Data Map When Copying Data with a REST API

When copying data with the Plan Type Map REST API, you now have more options. You can take advantage of new override options for the data map using these parameters:

  • overrideMembersMap - A map containing the dimension name as the key and a member selection string as a value. Members specified in the map will replace the members in the data map definition during execution.
  • overrideExclusionMembersMap - A map containing the dimension name as the key and a member selection string as a value. Members specified in the map will be excluded from the member selection in the data map definition during execution. Any members from the evaluated exclusion selection not present in the evaluated member selection from the data map definition will be ignored.

NOTE:

  • The override parameters execute this data map using the specified override members map, clearing data in the target region beforehand if requested. The data map push will error out when the override members map contains members from unmapped dimensions of the target location.

  • The member selection string is a comma-separated string consisting of member names, functions, or expressions. For example: "Jan, Feb, &CurrMonth, ILvl0Descendants(Q2), YearTotal, Red"

Applies to: Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Planning, Planning Modules

Business Benefit: The ability to override selections of the data map gives you more control over the process of copying data.
