credentials Element
Tag Name		credentials
Description		All API calls must contain a single credentials element to identify the user invoking the API. The API call is then performed as this user (any audit trail or history of actions in the system will show that this user performed the action), and therefore the user must have the required permissions to perform the action in order for the API call to succeed.
Attributes of the Element
Attribute Name	Required?	Value	Example
login	Y	The login name of the user invoking the API method. This user must have a role containing the permissions required for the method being invoked.	sampleuser@company.com
password	Y	The password of the user invoking the API method.	my_password
locale	N	Specify the locale to be used to interpret incoming numbers and dates, and to format outgoing numbers and dates (using the proper thousands separator, time period names, and date formatting). The locale is also used to specify the language in which any system messages in the response should appear. If not specified, en_US (American English) is used.	fr_FR
instanceCode	N	If the user specified in the credentials has access to more than one instance of Adaptive Planning, this attribute can be used to specify that the user is intending to access an instance other than their default instance. If not specified, the user's default instance will be used. To determine the available instance codes, use the exportInstances API method.	MYINSTANCE1

Contents of the Element
mappingCriterion elements for each dimension value for the derived dimension.

 

mappingCriterion Element
Tag Name		mappingCriterion
DescriptionDescription		Describes the individual dimensions and dimension values that govern if a dimension value is being mapped to. Must be followed by a group of mapTo, dimension and dimensionValue tags.
Attributes of the Element
Attribute Name	Required?	Value	Example
id	N	If a id is provided, an existing mapping criterion with this id will be updated. If no id is provided, a new mapping criterion is added to the dimension.	12
delete	N	Enter "yes" to delete all mapping conditions in the mappingCriterion. An empty value or any value other than "yes" is ignored and mapping conditions are not deleted.	yes
Contents of the Element
Contains one mapTo element and up to six dimension elements.

 

mapTo Element
Tag Name		mapTo
Description		Specifies the dimension value that is derived based on the mapping criteria.
Attributes of the Element

(none)

 

dimension Element
Tag Name		dimension
Description		Describes one of the dimensions being used to derive the mapTo dimension value. At minimum, one dimension element for the 'Level' dimension is required as well as one dimension element for a custom dimension.
Attributes of the Element
Attribute Name	Required?	Value	Example
name	Y	The name of the dimension	Industry
value	N	The name of the dimension value. Required unless there are dimensionValue	Retail
Contents of the Element
dimensionValue elements

 

dimensionValue Element
Tag Name		dimensionValue
Description		(Optional) If more than one dimension value needs to be listed for a dimension tag, a series of dimensionValue tags can be used instead of the value attribute.
Attributes of the Element
Attribute Name	Required?	Value	Example
name	Y	The name of the dimension value	Retail

Examples:

Mapping criterion to map the dimension values HQ in the level dimension and MA in the state dimension to the East dimension value in the Area dimension. Rows where both values match will be augmented with East.

<dimension name="Area">                      
    <mappingCriteria>
        <mappingCriterion>
            <mapTo dimensionValue="East"/>   
            <dimension name="Level" value="HQ"/> 
            <dimension name="State" value="MA"/> 
        </mappingCriterion>
    </mappingCriteria>
</dimension>

Mapping criterion to map the dimension values HQ in the level dimension and MA in the state dimension to the East dimension value in the Area dimension. Rows where both values match will be augmented with East. Since the id attribute is specified, this mapping criterion will replace an existing mapping criterion with this id.

<dimension name="Area">                      
    <mappingCriteria>
        <mappingCriterion id="123">
            <mapTo dimensionValue="East"/>
            <dimension name="Level" value="HQ"/> 
            <dimension name="State" value="MA"/> 
        </mappingCriterion>
    </mappingCriteria>
</dimension>

Mapping criterion to map the dimension values HQ in the level dimension and CA or CO in the state dimension to the East dimension value in the Area dimension. Rows where both values match will be augmented with East.

<dimension name="Area">                      
    <mappingCriteria>
        <mappingCriterion>
            <mapTo dimensionValue="East"/>   
            <dimension name="Level" value="HQ"/> 
            <dimension name="State">         
                <dimensionValue name="CA"/>  
                <dimensionValue name="CO"/>

Attribute Name	Required?	Value	Example
success	Y	Either true or false, indicating whether the API call was successful or not. Even successful calls may contain warning messages in their response.	true

message element
Tag Name		message
Description		Represents a message being sent from the system back to the caller. Messages are used for error messages when requests do not succeed, for warning messages when requests do succeed, and for confirmation messages upon success.
Attributes of the Element
Attribute Name	Required?	Value	Example
key	N	When given, a key is a way to identify a particular message or type of message, useful for purposes of automated error logging and recovery in client programs. Keys do not change under different locales of requests, even when the language of the message changes. Keys also are unlikely to change in the future due to wording adjustments or terminology changes.	invalid-attributevalueid
Contents of the Element
The text of the message. This text is in the language of the locale specified on the request (assuming that locale is supported). The text may also contain variable information such as the number of rows which were processed, or the particular column or value which caused an error.
