Calc Scripts in sequence

Hi All,
We have requirment to run some calc scripts in sequence as they are dependent. If we merge all the scripts in one script then due to dependency calculations are not done or not giving proper result.
Is there any way so that calculation scripts are setup in sequence in one calculation script and Script One provides details to the Script Two and so on. We do not want to use the Business rules due to the considering the security assignment which will be very tedious job.
Thanks & Regards,
Sravan Kumar.

Business rules and sequences would be the correct procedure to use with Planning.
Though I don't see how running separate calc scripts is going to be different that putting them in one calc script, that doesn't make any sense.
If you want to run the calc scripts in sequence then you could batch them up using maxl.
I am not sure what information you want to pass between calc script but you can use subsitution variables that be used in either script.

Calc script, Business rule and business rule macro

Hi John,
Can we use calc script , BR sequence and a BR macro against different databases at a single go.
In one calc script or BR sequence or BR macro itself can i calculate 2 databases

If possible could you not start every post with my name, there are lots of others helping on this forum and they provide excellent answers
Calc Scripts run against one database.
Sequences can contain multiple business rules, in the launch variables you can set the database to run against for each rule (outside of the planning application though)
Macros are called from a business rule and are run against the database the calling rule is being run against.

Run a BR or Calc Script within another BR

Is there a way from which I can run one Business Rule/Calculation Script in another Business Rule/Calculation Script (Run one BR/Calc Script within another BR)?
Edited by: 930603 on May 3, 2012 4:44 PM

Hi,
Do you want to run two BR's parallel y, why you are not going for sequences option, you can divide your rule in parts and run the rules in the sequence you want.
run one Business Rule/Calculation Script in another Business Rule/Calculation Script (Run one BR/Calc Script within another BR)?I don't think so you can call one BR from other, if you want the same might be you have to write CDF for calling the BR/CalcScript within the BR. or you can use Essbase Macro option.(+I am not sure for this option+)
Thanks,

How do you stop multiple users executing the same calc script at the same time?

We have an issue when users uplaod a spreadsheet and then run a calc script. at one time we have multiple exectuions of the script running.
This slows up the system and we have to go cancel all the executions and run it again.
Can we stop this and put them on a queue, so only one execution of the calc happens at one time. Or stop multiple executions getting submitted at all.

You could use EXCLUSIVECALC to stop more than one calc running at the same time, although this will apply to all applications on your server. And it doesn't just stop the same calc being launched twice. Easier than the alternatives I can think of though, if it works for you.

@ATTRIBUTESVAL works properly in Calc script but not in Member Formula.

We are using Essbase 11.1.2 –
"Global_Period" is a Dynamic Calc Member. Below is its Member Formula:
"ProjType " is an attribute (text) dimension.
"Global_Period" ="ValidAccount";
IF (@ISLEV ("Total_Expenses", 0) AND @ISMBR("HSP_InputValue") AND @ISLEV ("Version",0) AND
@ISMBR("No_GL_Account") AND @ISLEV ("Scenario",0) AND @ISLEV ("Years",0) AND @ISMBR ("Local")
AND @ISLEV("Tot_Org",0) AND NOT @ISIDesc ("Service_Division") AND @ISLEV("Tot_PRJ",0) )
"Global_Period"->"No_GL_Account"-> @CURRMBR ("Projects") =
1* "ValidAccount"->"Global_Version" ->"Global_Scenario"->&Budget_Year->"Global_Entity"->
"No_GL_Account"->"HSP_InputValue"->"Local"->
@MEMBER(@NAME(@CONCATENATE ("Proj_",@ATTRIBUTESVAL("ProjType"))));
ENDIF
The above Member- Formula is failed to work when opening a Data Form that contain "Global_Period".
The error messages in the log file are as follow:
[Thu Mar 1 16:55:39 2012]Local/Projects/Plan1/admin@Native Directory/1122748736/Error(1200370)

@MEMBER(@NAME(@CONCATENATE ("Proj_",@ATTRIBUTESVAL("ProjType"))));
SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK OFF;
ENDFIX
For many reasons we prefer to use the Dynamic Calc Formula for "Global_Period".
As result of some checking I discover that the problem is with the function @ATTRIBUTESVAL,
because the formula has worked fine when I replace the @ATTRIBUTESVAL with a string.
Please help, what is the right way to write the formula in order to make it work.
Thanks

Dear Cameron Lackpour,
Thank you very much, for your reply.
I'd given it a try, but it didn't help.
The purpose of this formula is as follow:
We holds 1's (ones) for allowable combinations of "Project_Type and Accounts", namely, each project type has different list of accounts that are allowed for input.
I need to populate the input 1's to all projects (and their children) according to its "ProjType".
The Data forms has periods in columns, thus by putting "Global_Period" (Hide) as the first column, and use "Suppress Missing rows" - for each project (on the "Page") , the form will show just the allowable Accounts in rows.
(we have around 300 Accounts, 50,000 members in Project dimension and around 25 Types of projects).
Please help.
Thanks!

IF Statement with multiple ORs in Calc Script

Hello,
May I know what is the best way to script the following statement in a Member formula, not calc script (can't use Fix statements)
If (A->B->C == 1, 3 or 5 AND X->B->C == Value1)
returnvalue1
ELSE
#Missing.
Basically I am looking for syntax for an IF statement where IF one condition is equal to multiple values as mentioned, then the result is this...
Help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Adi

You won't be able to use a comma separated list, you'll have to repeat the combination. A->B->C == 1 or A->B->C == 3 so on and so forth
If you can give a use case scenario or the logic behind it then there are more chances that you might end up with a nicer solution.

How to make a calc script on a dense dimension ?

Dears,
I want to make a calculation script on a dense dimension where :
- I want to get an input from a member, then make a mathematical calculation , then populate the result in another member at the same dimension .
For More Clarification :
I have the following fix
CALC ALL ;
FIX ("SAR","Working.V01","Budget2012","FY12","G_10","NM_CAT01","Employee General","BegBalance")
"Internal Transportation" = "Monthly Transportation"*30 ;
ENDFIX
-Internal transportation and monthly transportation are 2 members on FB_account dimension (dense dimension) .
Waiting for your response, Thanks in advance.

Dear ,
I appreciate your feedback . But, My problem is that after executing the calc script , No calculation happens .
by another means ,
-If I wrote "Internal transportation" = 500 ; --> It put 500 in it
-If I wrote "Internal transportation" = "Internal transportation" * 100 ; --> No calculation happened but it executed successfully
-if I wrote "Internal transportation" = "Monthly transportation" = 500; --> No calculation happened but it executed successfully
I don't know Why ???

The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

Here is a simple calc script to export data.
2 questions:
1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);
Dataexport "file" "," "C:\Exp_AW.txt" "#MI";
EndFix;
Edited by: user9959627 on Sep 7, 2012 11:25 AM

Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.

Assigning a value to a constant in Calc Script

Hi All,
I'm trying to assign a value to a constant in a calc script, but not able to make it work.
I need to get a user entered value from the database such as Indexation Value, and use that many times in my script. Rather than use:
"member1"->"member2"->"member3"->"member4"->"member5"
every time I access the value, I'd like to use:
VAR IndexVal = "member1"->"member2"->"member3"->"member4"->"member5";
and then use IndexVal in the script.
Is this possible?, or do I have to use a substitution variable?
Thanks.

It is possible, but the variable and the calculations that use it must exist in the same Calc Bloack statement (Beginning and ending in parens)

Could guide me about that would have to check to find what is generating the error.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
One problem is that I can not identify the script because it was not created by me, as I understand this calc is implicit in planning, only runs when you select the option "mass allocate".
The published extract was obtained from the log of the application in which the calculation is running, this was extracted from essbase directory that hosts the application.

OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

Hi,
I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
I have 2 question:
- Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
- Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/oracle-bi-ee-10-1-3-4-1-writebacks-to-essbase-using-japi-and-custom-html-part-1/

Thanks,

Error while running Business Rules and Calc scripts

We are trying to run calc script in a report and we received the error saying that " An error occured while running the specified cacl script.Check the log for details", we received the similar error when working with Business rules.

Calc scripts are running slow(all of a sudden)

All of a sudden, for the past few days, we are noticing that all our calc scripts have been running very slow.
The same scripts used to run much faster earlier.
Has anybody seen this kind of scenario?
We did a RAM upgrade on the eas server, and have restarted all services.
Other than that, nothing has changed in our system.
Thanks.

It can be quite common for calcs to slow down over time, but there are some things to do to mitigate this.
1. Are you using Intelligent Calc? All things being equal (a very broad statement in essbase, since things are never equal) if there is more activity by users, it could affect how many blocks are marked dirty. This is probably not your issue, because a properly written calc wouldn't slow down much for this reason. I had to mention it though because I have seen an installation where their calc was 'Calc All' and they used intelligent calc to create the scope of the calc. (bad, very bad)
2. Do you perform DB restructures? (either explicity by Restructuring or by exporting level 0, clearing and import level 0 then agg) If this is not done on a regular basis (regular depends on the usage of the cube) then you could be experiencing fragmentation, which increases the size of the database, increasing run times.
3. Have you just added another fiscal year to the database? More data means bigger database.
RAM upgrade on the EAS server shouldn't affect calc times (unless essbase services are also running on the EAS server, then there might be something to it).
Most of these (and other) issues can be mitigated by applying proper scope to your calcs (Fix statements).
What environment are you running in? Windows or Unix?
New application?
What kind of time increases are we talking about here?

DATAEXPORT - set Dynamic File name in Calc Script

Hi,
I have a calc script which exports data from BSO cube to a flat file. Currently I have hard coded file name within the calc script which is
DATAEXPORT "File" "," "D:/in/CAPXPT_FERC_*FY12*.txt";
and, for example, I want use the substition varaible to dynamically assign the file name let' say
DATAEXPORT "File" "," "/u11/oracle/OHDDEVD/in/CAPXPT_FERC *" + &fYear + "*.txt";
Is there any way to set the export file name dynamically?
Thanks for your help
Regards,

A kind of intriguing thought would be to use the sub var as a way to drive the file name, then grab Robb Salzmann's CDF to dynamically set sub vars on the fly, and then use a RTP to grab that string. I have no idea if this would all tie together, but it would be interesting to try.
Here's Robb's post: http://codingwithhyperion.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-and-update-substitution.html This is my second in a row post that refers to his CDF -- it is almost like that's my pseudonym except of course I'm too thick to write a CDF.

I have created substitution variable use maxl
Installed the essbase in custom manner and standlone mode nt register with the shared services ,
Is this problem with the custom installation of essbase

If you remove the substitution variable and replace it with the actual value (whatever that is), does the code work? That will tell you if the issue is around the substitution variable or not.
