Reset the Financial reporting data mart

This article explains how to reset the Financial reporting data mart for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. The data mart can be reset in multiple ways, depending on the user's role and access to the client or infrastructure.

Executing a data mart reset is a significant action and should almost never be done. There are, however, a few special cases where it may be required. If you encounter a situation where a reset seems necessary, it's highly recommended you contact support first. The support team can help you properly investigate any underlying product issues that might be prompting the need for a reset. This investigation helps ensure that we're addressing the root cause rather than applying a temporary fix.

You should reset the data mart only when a small amount of processing is occurring on the database. Financial reporting is unavailable during the reset process.

Note

To confirm that it's necessary to reset your data mart, see When to reset a data mart.

A reset of the data mart doesn't affect any report definitions that define the structure of reports. Nevertheless, it's always a good idea to have a backup of your reports, which you accomplish by exporting them. The steps for exporting report definitions are included at the end of this article in the section titled, Export and import report definitions, later in this article.

Reset the Financial reporting data mart from Report designer

To find the version of report designer, watch this video: How to find the version of Report designer.

To reset the data mart, in Report designer, on the Tools menu, select Reset Data Mart as shown in the following illustration. The dialog box that appears has two sections: Statistics and Reset.

Reset Data Mart dialog box.

Integration attempts

The Integration attempts grid shows how many times the system tried to integrate transactions. The system continues to try to integrate data over a period of days if the first few attempts aren't successful. You know that the data mart must be reset if the number of attempts is 8 or more, and if there are many Dimension combination or Transaction records. In this situation, the data won't be reported on.

Data status

The Data status grid provides a snapshot of the transactions, exchange rates, and dimension values in the data mart. A large number of versioned records indicate that numerous updates to the records have occurred. This situation might increase the time that is required to generate reports.

Misaligned main account categories

If you're using a release that is earlier than Financial reporting release 7.2.1, you might have to reset the data mart if you rename accounts and move accounts between account categories. These actions can cause main account categories to become misaligned. The Misaligned main account categories field shows whether you're experiencing that issue.

Reset the data mart and select a reason

If you determine that a data mart reset is required, select the Reset data mart check box, and then select a reason in the Reason field. The following options are available:

  • Missing or incorrect data – Based on the statistics, you've determined that data might be missing. Before you continue, we recommend that you work with Support to determine the root cause.
  • Restore database – The database was restored, but the database for the Financial reporting data mart wasn't restored.
  • Other – You're resetting the data mart for another reason. If you're concerned that there's an issue, contact Support to identify it.

Note

Verify that all data mart reset tasks have completed an initial load before you begin a reset. You can confirm this by looking for a value in the Last Runtime column by selecting Tools > Integration status.

Clear users and companies

Select the Clear users and companies check box if you restored your database, but then changed users or companies. You should rarely have to select this check box.

When you're ready to start the reset process, select OK. You're prompted to confirm that you're ready to start the process. Financial reporting isn't available during the reset and the initial data integration that occurs afterward.

If you want to review the status of the integration, select Tools > Integration status to see the last time that the integration was run and the status.

View the status of the integration.

Note

The reset is finished when all mappings show a status of RanToCompletion, and an "Integration complete" message appears in the lower-left corner of the Integration Status dialog box.

Reset the Financial reporting data mart for Dynamics 365 Finance + Operations (CHE, LBD, and VHD) through SQL Server Management Studio

Note

The following steps are designed for Cloud Hosted Environments (CHE Tier 1 Dev), downloadable VHD images, and LBD On-Premises.

Before getting started, be sure that all users close Report designer and exit the Financial reporting area.

  1. On the database used for Financial reporting (CHE & VHD - ManagementReporter or MRDB; LBD - FinancialReporting), execute the following script. which was last updated April 9, 2020: Reset Datamart Begin.txt

  1. After the reset, you can manually verify the data reload by running the following query against the Financial reporting database.

    select ReaderObjectName, WriterObjectName, LastRunTime, StateType from Connector.MapsWithDetail with (nolock)
    

Confirm that all rows have a LastRunTime value, and that StateType is set to 5. A StateType value of 5 indicates that the data was successfully reloaded. A value of 7 indicates a faulted state. Sometimes, the Organization Hierarchy map has this state the first time that it runs. However, the default state but should be automatically resolved.

Export and import report definitions

Although a reset of the data mart doesn't affect any report definitions, some data movement activities can cause report definitions to be lost. Be careful when you perform a data movement activity such as overwriting a user acceptance testing (UAT) test environment with a copy of the production environment if new reports were being created in the UAT environment. Exporting report definitions can provide a backup if it becomes necessary to restore your definitions.

Export report definitions

First, follow these steps to export the report designs from Report designer.

  1. In Report designer, select Company > Building Block Groups.

  2. Select the building block group to export, and then select Export.

    Note

    For finance and operations, only one building block group is supported: Default.

  3. Select the report definitions to export:

    • To export all your report definitions and the associated building blocks, select Select All.
    • To export specific reports, rows, columns, trees, or dimension sets, select the appropriate tab, and then select the items to export. To select multiple items on a tab, press and hold the Ctrl key while you make your selections. When you select reports to export, the associated rows, columns, trees, and dimension sets are also selected.
  4. Select Export.

  5. Enter a file name, and select a secure location to save the exported report definitions in.

  6. Select Save.

You can copy or upload the file to a secure location.

Warning

Be aware of the behavior of drive D on Microsoft Azure virtual machines (VMs). Don't permanently store your exported building block groups on drive D. For more information about temporary drives, see Understanding the temporary drive on Windows Azure Virtual Machines.

Import report definitions

Next, import your report designs from Report designer by using the file that was created during export.

  1. In Report designer, select Company > Building Block Groups.

  2. Select the Default building block, and then select Import.

  3. Select the file that contains the exported report definitions, and then select Open.

  4. In the Import dialog box, select the report definitions to import:

    • To import all the report definitions and the associated building blocks, select Select All.
    • To import specific reports, rows, columns, trees, or dimension sets, select them.
  5. Select Import.
