• Boost export speeds export execution from DSCP to DH
• Way of work:

1.Export data in a csv file, using existing export scenario/mapping

2.Load csv file in a temporary table into the DH

3.Insert data from temporary table to destination table

4.Delete csv file

Function BulkGenericExportScenarioInfoById

Structure :

• BulkGenericExportScenarioInfoById(ByRef TextFile, ByRef oDBCON, ByVal nId, ByRef vsFileName, ByRef bRemoveZero, ByRef nPastYearsToKeep, ByRef nFutureMonthsToKeep)

Example :

• BulkGenericExportScenarioInfoById TextFile, oDBCON, 16787388, strBulkFileName, False, 1, 0
• This export is applied to DR export tables

Structure :

• ByRef TextFile: file type
• ByRef oDBCON: DH connection
• ByVal nId: export scenario ID
• ByRef vsFileName: file name
• ByRef bRemoveZero: boolean to manage 0 (case default value <> 0):
  • True : 0 data are deleted into temporary table
  • False: 0 data are kept into temporary table
• ByRef nPastYearsToKeep: past data management (by complete year):
  • 0: data all over the horizon are kept
  • Otherwise formula : delete data where year <= current year- nPastYearsToKeep
  • 1: we delete past data before current year
    • Example current day 24/11/2020 => past data until 2019 included are deleted
  • 2: we delete past data before current year -1
    • Example current day 24/11/2020 => past data until 2018 included are deleted
  • 3 et plus (variable not limited) : 2017 and before
• ByRef nFutureMonthsToKeep : future data management (by month)
  • 0: data all over the horizon are kept
  • Otherwise formula : delete data where month > current month + nFutureMonthsto Keep

Use in a macro :

• Call function strBulkFilename

strBulkFileName = GetUNC(1) & "\" & strSQLConnectionName & "_" & GetMacroIdByName(GetCurrentMacroName) & "_bf"

• Call export function :

 BulkGenericExportScenarioInfoById TextFile, oDBCON, 16787388, strBulkFileName, False, 1

• Export scenario needs to be created before => ID
• Call delete function to delete csv files after export:

DeleteFile(strBulkFileName)

Use in a macro :

• Following functions must be created into « Import – Library – Base Function»
  • GetMacroIdByName
  • DeleteFile
• Path files locating csv files generated are defined into « GetUNC»
  • strAppInterfacesCusPI / TI / SI / DI
  • Corresponding to GetUNC(1)

Datahub :

• Use of « sys_bulk» temporary tables

Execution details :

• Step 1: data export (except default values) in a csv file with name of scenario on the server => data are exported following datafields dimensions order

• Step 2: function determines the datafield number of dimensions and delete corresponding temporary table

• Step 3: csv file integration into corresponding temporary table

• Step 4: management of 0 values into temporary table

Execution details :

• Step 5: past data management

• Step 6 : future data management

• Step 7: delete destination table
  • The function uses the name of ODBC query to call corresponding SQL view => they must have the same name to feed corresponding destination DH table

• Step 8: insert data from temporary to destination DH table
  • The function uses also the name of the ODBC query to call SQL view

• In the case above, function inserts :
  • strSQLConnectionName
  • 2 empty fields
  • Then fields of temporary table

Execution details :

• Step 7:
  • Temporary and destination tables structures are differents => insert structure is specific
  • Insert doesn’t manage the order of data between temporary and destination tables => data order when generating csv file must fit with destination table fields order
  • In DR export case, temporary tables and DR tables consistents data types => VARCHAR => no problem within insert
• Global :
  • If a selection of data needs to be adjusted, function variables need to be modified and not the mapping scenario (the best is to align both)

Deployment – Pre-requisite

• Can be applied to export with execution during more than 10s
• To be checked before:

1.Scenario export settings :

1.Selection on horizon, sku...

2.Default values + null values settings

3.Destination table reset

2.Exported datafield dimensions order vs destination table

3.Date format of horizon period

4.SQL table or view and corresponding ODBC query names – similar names without space and parenthesis

5.Temporary tables corresponding to number of dimensions to be exported

6.Data type consistent between temporary and destination tables

7.Insert structure corresponding to destination tables

• The function is currently adapted to QV and DR SQL tables
• The code will probably have to updated in case of deployment of this function on other exports

Step by step

• Step 1 : identify an export to be boosted
  • Example: execution > 10s (info in log file)

• Step 2 : check pre-requiste
  • Datafield settings:
    • Default value = 0

• Step 2 : identify settings of this export
  • Datafield settings:
    • Dimensions order conform to destination export table : DFU_Code (Item) first then Period (Horizon)

• Step 2 : identify settings of this export
  • Current mapping settings:
    • Default values not exported only
    • Past horizon before current year not exported

• Table is reset before export + SQL view and ODBC query have the same name :

• Step 3 : modify export macro
  • Set up macro with function boost:
