Import of member descriptions (EVDESCRIPTION) via Data Manager to BPC 10.1 from flat file

[Former Member]

It is a bit tricky to import member descriptions (System name; EVDESCRIPTION) from flat file (.csv) to BPC 10.1.

I spend a lot of time on finding the solution how to import descriptions into BPC 10.1. This Document may help you by doing that and hopefully save you a lot of time 😉

Step 1:

Make sure that description column in your flat file is in a 2nd place otherwise report package in data manager won't be able to import descriptions into BPC 10.1

Step 2:

In your transformation file you need to put following transformations:

EVDESCRIPTION=*COL(2)

LANGU=*STR(EN)

EN stays for English

For german choose for example DE

Step 3:

Choose Report Package /CPMB/IMPORT_DESCRIPT and undertake your transformations.
