"Cannot put olap file object" exception when trying to copy outline

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to copy a given outline file to a remote essbase server (11.1.1 installed in Linux 64 bits).
I already managed to create both application and DB, but when I'm trying to copy a file from my file server, I get the following exception:
EssException: com.essbase.api.base.EssException: Cannot put olap file object. ..\data\1 (The system cannot find the path specified)
def copyOutline(self,destOlapAppName, destOlapCubeName):
print "* Copying outline for " + destOlapAppName + "/" + destOlapCubeName
self.ess = IEssbase.Home.create(IEssbase.JAPI_VERSION)
self.dom = self.ess.signOn(self.userName, self.password, "essbase", "EMBEDDED")
destOlapSvr = self.dom.getOlapServer(self.essHost)
destOlapSvr.connect()
srcPath = '\\\\Some\\Existing\\Path\\To\\Outline.otl'
try:
destOlapSvr.getApplication(destOlapAppName).stop()
except EssException, (e):
print e.getMessage()
pass
try:
destOlapSvr.lockOlapFileObject(destOlapAppName,
destOlapCubeName,
IEssOlapFileObject.TYPE_OUTLINE,
destOlapCubeName)
except EssException, (e):
print e.getMessage()
pass
destOlapSvr.copyOlapFileObjectToServer(destOlapAppName,
destOlapCubeName,
IEssOlapFileObject.TYPE_OUTLINE,
destOlapCubeName,
srcPath,
False)
I get the exception at copyOlapFileObjectToServer.
This is the header I'm getting when using EMBEDDED mode:
Hyperion Provider Services - Release 11.1.1.3.00 Build 196

java System properties -DESS_ES_HOME: null
What am I missing here? Maybe the fact that I dont have ESS_ES_HOME defined?
Thanks all.

Answer 1

Figured out what the problem was.
found this reference: http://essbaselabs.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html where it says what DESS_ES_HOME should be.
gave vm -DDESS_ES_HOME the correct value and voila....
