Consolidation with 'MultiLevel' option. Doubt about rules to be used

Llorenç Tomas

Hi, we have implementing a consolidation project in version 11 with the system parameter ‘MultiLevel’ activated

I have realized there is a couple of rules to be used ‘Minorities P&L MultiLevel – M1’ and ‘Calculate Dividends MultiLevel – U1’. These rules are in the Engine but we don’t know exactly how to replace the standards rules thorough the option ‘Administer Consolidation Rules’ in ‘Financial Consolidation’.

We have imported the rule with the option ‘Import New Rules’ selecting the Rule ‘FCCalculate MinoritiesML’ but we don’t know how to check it because of we don’t know how to identify the link between the rule showed in Financial Consolidation and the Engine’s Rule

It is anyone experienced this case?

Thanks in advance

Kind Regards

Lorenzo - can I check if your v11 customer uses the feature Multi-level Consolidation?
If so it is not currently supported in version 12.
If the topic is more generic - migration of consolidation processes to version 12 then processes have a mandatory change and some desirable changes. The mandatory is that the syntax to the process changes to something like:
//Connect to OLAP
OLAPConnection OLAPconnection = OLAPCreatePooledNamedConnection(DatabaseOLAP); //DatabaseOLAP is a process parameter with a value like DEPMAPPS
//Disconnect from OLAP
OLAPDisconnectPooledConnection(OLAPconnection);

The desirable changes are optimizing processes to use the new driver - OLEBD replaces Native so things like deferred OLAP writes - I thing there is a dedicated thread.
