I then spoke with the DB2 Application Development team and uncovered that there is a trunc and reload on DB2 which was sometimes overlapping with the data warehouse load creating inconsistent data for the reports.  We changed the timing of the data warehouse loads which corrected the issue. <p>"}},

I needed to move this process out of Hyperion, so I created a complex Alteryx workflow which combined data from several sources, and had business incentive specific logic built in; this workflow would write to temporary tables allowing for multiple runs and data reviews by the business, then a final run to the production table.
