If you are performing a data load, when Essbase encounters an invalid data field, it stops the data load. Essbase loads all fields read before the invalid field into the database, resulting in a partial data load. For example, in the following file, Essbase stops the data load when it encounters the 15- data value. Essbase loads the Jan and Feb Sales records but not the Mar and Apr Sales records.
East Cola Actual Sales Jan $10 Feb $21 Mar $15- Apr $16
For information on continuing the load, see Loading Dimension Build and Data Load Error Logs.
