import query c sharp dimension in the target module do not match the import definition

What does that mean? Something isn't importing from my sql query.

For the import action you are trying to run, is it importing from a file to a module or from another module/saved view to a module? Are you able to run the action directly from the Anaplan interface (i.e. try to publish it to a dashboard and press the button) without issue?

Agree with @bdeaton.

You may want to manually run the import first inside of Anaplan to make sure there aren't any issues.

The errors you're getting suggest to me that there's a mapping issue.

It's also possible that the default import file has changed or is not available because it wasn't imported as "everyone" or "admin". If the file was imported as "private" there's a 48 hour limit of non-use before it deletes automatically.

Best suggestion, honestly, is to run it manually in Anaplan. At the very least "edit" the action to see if the mapping is still working.

Does that red mean it isn't mapping correctly?

bdeaton

No, the red doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong. Each dimension just gets a different color-coding.

I would check the line items tab (the third one). Can you provide a screenshot of what that looks like?

Is this an import from a file or from another module? And if you run it from Anaplan (not via C#), do you receive any errors? If so, what errors do you get, can you provide a screenshot?

This is an import into the Anaplan Module. The c# runs and populates a temp csv file. However this information is not being loaded back into Anaplan. I then reimported the temp csv file back into Anaplan which works. However the SQL query seemed to be unsuccessful...

SQLQuery" value= "SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY DATAAREAID) AS 'Row ID','Actual' AS 'Version',CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE())-1,0), 101) AS 'Date', UPPER([DATAAREAID]) AS 'Company',[DIMENSION2_] AS 'P&C Code (Market)' , [DIMENSION3_] AS 'AX Code' ,[DIMENSION4_] AS 'Customer Account' , [ACCOUNTNUM] AS 'GL Account',[DIMENSION8_] AS 'SyRUS Code' , CAST(SUM([DEBITMST]+ [CREDITMST]) AS CHAR) AS 'Amount', [DIMENSION7_] AS 'Project Code' ,[DIMENSION5_] AS 'Category' ,[DIMENSION9_] AS 'Intercompany' FROM [PCIS_AX2009_BEN].[dbo].[LEDGERBALANCESDIMTRANS] WHERE [DATAAREAID] = 'BCUS' AND [PERIODCODE] = '1' AND [TRANSDATE] >= DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE())-1,0) AND [TRANSDATE] < DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE()),0) GROUP BY [DATAAREAID],[DIMENSION2_],[DIMENSION3_],[DIMENSION4_], [ACCOUNTNUM],[DIMENSION8_],[DIMENSION7_],[DIMENSION5_],[DIMENSION9_]"

So, the C# query that you wrote creates a .csv file and then you manually load that file into Anaplan? Or does the C# query have two steps: create file and then load file?

Valeria

Hi Yes. first c# creates the temp csv file which shows all of the data (and that means it's a good sign). Then it imports all of the dating using the Anaplan action. I am not sure if it has something to do with the sql query. I had to tweak the sql query for the P&C field and the date criteria because c# didn't like the original query.

This isn't the full query. I have the full query in the previous thread but These two were giving me issues previously. I am not sure if this is still the cause of the issue or if it is something else

SELECT[DIMENSION2_] AS 'P&C Code (Market)' , [ FROM [abc].[dbo].[blahblah] WHERE [TRANSDATE] >= DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE())-1,0) AND [TRANSDATE] < DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE()),0)

I don't really know anything about C#, so I can't really help there.

From an Anaplan perspective, I would try the following:

Test the file creation & action
- Run the steps that create the csv file
- Make sure the import action you created in Anaplan is published to a dashboard
- Press the button, navigate to the file created above (you shouldn't be prompted for any additional information other than file location), and attempt to load. See if any errors are produced.
Assuming all steps in step 1 work, then I'd check the following:
- Name of the file being produced via the C# process vs the name of the file used to originally create the action. We use Anaplan Connect and sometimes a mismatch here causes issues. You can check the name of the file on the imports screen.
If the file names match exactly, and the action runs manually without issue, then it seems likely it's a C# issue and not an issue with Anaplan. I'm not sure where to go from there but perhaps someone else here will be able to chime in with additional information.

Hi,

I cant' edit the action since it is no longer available. If it is no longer available. How do I remap it?

Valeria

Also, once a file is imported how do i set it to show who has access to the file"everyone, or admin" sometimes I see this option and sometimes I don't? Why is this

Valeria

nathan_rudman

You only have this option when you initially create the file/import. To my knowledge you can't change it afterwards.

Availlability in the platform is 3 days (if my memory serve). It is the same if the file is admin only or not

Tiffany.Rice

@Valeria Try reimporting a file with the same name as the import data source you are wanting to update. When you import into the module/list this will cause the File Options dialogue box to appear and you can set the default file. This should allow you to update the existing action.

Below is some more information about default vs. private files should you need it.
