Application crashes when using @NAME

Question

We have an outline with dimensionsPlanversion ... 2002_12 2003_01 2003_02 2003_03 ...Jahr 2001 2002 2003I want to use the following formula for a member in the accounts dimension "Kostenart":IF (@ISMBR(@LSIBLINGS(@MEMBER(@SUBSTRING(@NAME(@CURRMBR(Planversion)),0,4))))) 1;ELSE #missing;ENDIFThis formula validates on the server but if validated on the client a message pops up saying "This function must be a macro" and the outline cannot be saved.So I wrote a macro with maxL:MAXL> create or replace macro '@ISMBRLSIBLCURRMBR' (Single) AS 2> '@ISMBR(@LSIBLINGS(@MEMBER(@SUBSTRING(@NAME(@CURRMBR(@@1)),0,4))))' 3> spec '@ISMBRLSIBLCURRMBR(dimName)' 4> comment 'checks if current member is left sibling of a member deducted from a substring of the current member in another dimension';and I changed the member formula to:IF (@ISMBRLSIBLCURRMBR(Planversion)) 1;ELSE #missing;ENDIFWhen I try to start the application it immediately crashes with a Dr. Watson in esssvr.exe (Exception: access violation 0xc0000005, Address 0x0023110d). Essbase creates an exception error log.If I do not use the @Name function, the application starts properly. But there is a problem when compiling the member formula:"Error compiling formula for [ERLOESE_HR] (line 2): expected type [STRING] found [MEMBER] ([@ISMBRLSIBLCURRMBR]) in function [@ISMBRLSIBLCURRMBR]"IMO the remedy would be to use @Name. But this causes the application to crash! Is this a bug in the @Name function? Are there any other ways to achieve the desired functionality? Please help!Best Regards,GeraldPS The problem occurs with Essbase 6.22 and 6.24

Answer 1

I have figured out that the application fails on its first call to the native methods.
So I have this Bitmap class that contains all the native calls and it is defined shortly as follow:
public class Bitmap {
static {
System.loadLibrary("BitmapImpl");
native void setDebug(int debuglevel, int statistics);
There are many more native methods defined in Bitmap, but I only show the setDebug method because that is the first one that is executed and also the one that immediately fails.
My setDebug C function is defined as follow in BitmapImpl.c
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <jni.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include "Bitmap.h"
#include "data.h"
jint debug = 0;
jint statistics = 1;
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_Bitmap_setDebug
(JNIEnv *jenv, jobject jo, jint d, jint s)
debug = d;
statistics = s;
My libBitmapImpl.so file is compiled using the following Makefile and using GNU gcc:
JAVAPATH=$(JAVAINCLUDEPATH)
LMACRO=-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DSOLARIS
CSOURCE=BitmapImpl.c
all:
gcc -O3 -G $(LMACRO) -I$(JAVAPATH) -I$(JAVAPATH)/solaris \
$(CSOURCE) -o libBitmapImpl.so
It is still a total mystory why the application fails. I have tried it on a RedHat Linux machine and there it works fine. But not on Solaris. Only if I use the jdk1.1.8 but not a later one.
Would really appreiciate some help!
Best regards
