Call ODI 11g scenario from Essbase calc script/business rule using ODI SDK

I am looking for any hints on how to use the ODI 11g SDK. I want to call a java application (CDF) that runs an ODI scenario using RUNJAVA in Essbase which I have successfully done in the 10g environment.
The java application has the odi-core.jar included in the project and registers OK with Essbase and I have replicated code from the Oracle sample code site. When I run the application in a calc script I get the following error:
EssbaseCluster-1.EFTS.EFTS.odi Execute calculation script June 17, 2011 10:20:40 AM NZST Failed
Error: 1200456 Problem running [indigo.essbase.odi.RunODIScenario]: [java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/util/StringUtils]
When I comment out the code that calls the creates the OdiInstance then the java app executes fine - i.e. writes something to the Essbase log.
The research I have done so far indicates that a classpath is incorrect. If that is the case where do I start looking to correct the classpath? Is it the ODI classpath or the Essabase classpath?
Any tips would be grateful.
Thanks.

You need to import more jars to execute this
following are the jars
1)     bsf.jar
2)     bsh-2.0b2.jar
3)     commons-collections-3.2.jar
4)     eclipselink.jar
5)     odi-core.jar
6)     ojdl.jar
7)     oracle.ucp_11.1.0.jar
8)     persistence.jar
9)     spring-beans.jar
10)     spring-core.jar
11)     spring-dao.jar
12)     spring-jdbc.jar
Once you have this in classpath - your scenario will execute
Hope this helps.

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.
Cheers

How to track what your Calc Script/Business Rule is doing?

Hi,
I wanted to know the methods or the best way to keep a track of what your Calculation Script of Business Rule is doing once you execute it.
Or suppose it fails for some reason and the reason is not a syntax error (that it usually would show up in EAS while validating)how can you know what's going wrong?
Please let me know !
~ Adella

All the CDFs are available at - https://www.samplecode.oracle.com/tracker/tracking/linkid/prpl1004/action/ExecuteQuery?query=essbase1
There are also the Echo CDFs in the String collection -
@JechoBoth - Echoes back all arguments passed to the function. To pass an array of arguments use @List(comma delimited list).
@JechoString - Echoes back all arguments passed to the function. To pass an array of arguments use @List(comma delimited list).
@JechoDouble - Echoes back all arguments passed to the function. To pass an array of arguments use @List(comma delimited list).
Saying that they usually need to be a calc block so if you are expecting to find where a calc is up to in an aggregation it is not going to tell you much.
Also you have to watch out if you are calculating a large number of blocks then you can end up outputing more information that you would ever need.
If you look in the essbase application log you can actually get an idea of which part of the script the calc is executing and times without the need for CDFs.
Also if a script fails then the app log is the place to go and check.
You can also look at the standard calc commands in essbase
SET NOTICE - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/frameset.htm?set_notice.html
"Monitors the progress of your calculation by providing completion notices at intervals during the calculation. The number of notices depends on the level you specify."
SET MSG - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/frameset.htm?set_msg.html
"Sets the level of messaging you want returned about calculations, and enables simulated calculations."
or if on 11.1.2.x then the @RETURN function - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/frameset.htm?return.html
"Exits the calculation immediately under specified logical conditions. You can use the IF... ELSEIF calculation command block to specify the logical error conditions, and use the @RETURN function to exit the calculation with customized error messages and levels."

I am trying to extract metadata from essbase into a flat file using ODI.

I have 2 questions in this regard :
Some of the account members storage property is missing in the extract.the reason which i suspect is due to the parent child sorting that did not happen while extracting.How do i do this.I do not see this option when i select IKM hyperion Essbase Metadata to SQL....
I have many account members that have more than one UDA's upto 5 UDA's.But in my extrcat only one UDA appears.How do i incorporate all the UDA's in a single column,sperated by a comma,the extract file as such is semicolon seperated,mainly because of this reason and some alias descriptions have comma's in the source system
ODi is extracting metadata in a descending order.How do i change it to sort records in parent child order
Thanks,
Lingaraj
Edited by: user649227 on 2009/06/10 6:50 AM

Hi,
There was an issue with early versions of the KM around the storage property, this has since been resolved. I recommend upgrading to the latest release of ODI or have a look through the patches.

Execute Essbase Calc Scripts from FDM

Hi,
Can any of you let me know how to execute Essbase Calc Scripts from FDM, these Calc Scripts are on Essbase Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

See the thread below:
Re: FDM - Script

Calc another calc script from a calc script or business rule

is there a way to call a common calc script segment from other calc scripts or business rules. I do not want to replicate common code in multiple business rules. This common code updates the Essbase database, so it would need to take Essbase members as parameters and be able issue calculation commands. I do not find this possible with custom macros or custom functions. Thanks - Davis ([email protected])

I do not think you can call another calc script from within a calc script. An alternative would be to write a MaxL script that strings multiple calc scripts together.Good luck.

Extracting data from Essbase & loading into flat file through ODI

It seems that you are trying to use the file as your staging areas. Hyperion LKM extracts essbase data into a DB staging area which can then be used by your file IKM to load it into file.
You need to use a RDBMS for your staging area.

Enhanced Calc Script more flexible than native Essbase Calc Script?

Restrict Planning Admin from seeing all Essbase calc scripts

Hi - I have a few ppl who are Administrators on Planning and they see all of my calc scripts in Essbase. Is there a way to block them from seeing them? I have those calc scripts to run things that they do not need to run.
I am using Planning 3.5.1, Essbase 6.5
Thanks,
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
I assume the calc scripts you want to block from the Planning Admin's are within the applications they are administrators of correct?
The only way I can think to do this is to place these in another directory on the server or on a share you have access to and use Esscmd scripts to execute them in a batch function.
e.g.
RUNCALC 3 C:\SERVER_DIR\mycalcs\calc
Presuming the directory were on your essbase server and you schedule this on your essbase server.
This assumes your Planning Admins do not have access to your Essbase server. Of course if this were unix the path to the script would be different.
You could also only have the scripts on your local machine.

Retrieve imported and validated Entities for further ESSBASE calc Script

Hi folks,
once the FDM processing is finished:
The Event Script AftConsolidate is executed.
It is retrieving all unique Entity entries (trialbalance command), Period (POV), Scenario (POV) etc. and is bulding a dynamic ESSBAE calc script command which is afterwards executed to ensure that even the leaf member are correctly transferred to ESSBASE, the nodes are refreshed/aggregated as well.
This works perfectly ;-)
MY ISSUE:
I want to clone this logic into a custom web script which then can be executed adhoc via webfrontend / Task Flow.
I tried to copy the AftCondolidate Script into this custom web script. UNFORTUNATELY i get an error: saying DATA ACCESS ERROR
My assumption is, that the trialbalance command does not work wit the custom web scripts.
Is that right? Are there any workarounds how to retrieve out of a custom web script the entity dimension and store the unique entity entries in an array?
regards
Hau

You don't need a custom script. FDM has functionality to call the consolidate action only, check the activities menu

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.

Essbase calc script performance issues

Hi,
I have essbase 9.3 running on Sun solaris 4 CPU, 16 GB server. The calc script "calc all" takes ~3 hrs to complete.

The ess00001.ind is 700 Mb and ess00001.pag is 2.1 GB.
In Admin services, this is what I see for caches
1) Index cache size is 1 GB for this DB
2) Index cache current value is 1gb
3) Datafile cache setting is 1.5 GB
4) Datafile cache current value is 0 (?? not sure why??)
5) Data cache setting 4.1 GB
6) Index page setting 8 kb
please help ...
Thanks
Moe

Moe,
I'm guessing you inherited this thing, else you would know why the cache settings are what they are, but here are some thoughts:
Caches:
3) Datafile cache setting is 1.5 GB
4) Datafile cache current value is 0 (?? not sure why??)You're running the database in Buffered I/O, so the data file cache is ignored.
1) Index cache size is 1 GB for this DB
2) Index cache current value is 1gb You have consumed all of the cache -- I'm a little confused, as you state your .ind file to be 700 megabytes -- generally the index cache consumption doesn't go beyond the .ind file size. When you look at your hit ratio statistics in EAS, does it show a 1 against the index cache? If yes, then you don't need to look any further as that's as good as it's going to get.
5) Data cache setting 4.1 GBUnless you're using MEMSCALINGFACTOR, I don't think Essbase is actually addressing all of the memory you've assigned. What are you showing as actually used? In any case, having a data cache almost twice as big as the .pag files is a waste as it's way too large.
Easy, off the cuff suggestions without knowing more about your db:
1) Try AGG instead of CALC DIM for sparse dimensions.
2) Try turning off (yes, turning off, you'd be surprised) parallel calc, and benchmark it. It will probably be slower, but it's nice to know.
3) Dimension order? Modified hourglass?
4) Tried defragmenting the database and benchmarking the performance?
5) What is your block size? Big? Small?
6) I think you are not calculating your Accounts/Measures dimension in your calc? If you are, and it's dense, could you make those Accounts dynamic calc -- dropping a dimension from the calc can be huge.
I'm sure there will be other suggestions -- these are the easiest.

Can I call an external program from my rman script

Hi
Is it possible to do an external call to a bat-file in a rman script?
My script looks like this (it's pretty much generated from EM):
$rman_script="backup device type disk tag '%TAG' database;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup device type disk tag '%TAG' archivelog all not backed up delete all input;
allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
release channel;
Can i somehow make an external call before at the end?
Regards
Klaus Mogensen

You can use the HOST command.

Error when calling a stored procedure from a SQL Script

Apologies if this is a really dumb question but I can't seem to call a procedure in package from a SQL script. I have a simple package.procedure containing a loop to populate a table. I would like to include a call to this procedure from my database install script, that also includes my CREATE and INSERT statements. I run the script using "@install_databae" and the CREATE and INSERT statements run fine. The script gives an error when it reaches the line below:
exec lazarus.PopulateGridPositions;
and gives the error.....
BEGIN lazarus.PopulateGridPositions; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04063: package body "LAZARUS.LAZARUS" has errors
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "LAZARUS.LAZARUS"
ORA-06512: at line 1
The procedure and package have both compiled without errors and the statement on its own works fine in SQL*Plus.
I've obviously missed some fundamental concept with scripts and SQL. Please can anybody help me?

And just checking:
You have schema called LAZARUS, which holds a package named LAZARUS, which holds a procedure called POPULATEGRIDPOSITIONS?

Automate the process of changing the subvariables in Essbase calc script?

Hi Experts,
I have two calc scripts called HourlyAgPre & HrlyAgPost and in these calcs I am using Subvariables. Like wise i have 4 regions and there are so many calc scripts. during month end close i have to go and change the subvariables manually. is there any way to change the subvaribles at one time using Maxl script?
Eg:
In BD9 My subvariable needs to point to Preclose
In BD-3 my subvaribles need to poit to Postclose.
Please suggest me if you come across this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is example of setting variables through Maxl and passing parameters into the maxl script Re: Update variables
