CDF Error

Question

Hello, I am having an issue and hope you can help me solving it.
There is a JAR file from DRAGOS I installed and registered and is working fine and I could see and use the java functions .. so I think I am comfortable with the registration process itself.
My issue is when I created a java function that calls a batch file and registered it with Essbase and could see it in Calc Manager but I get the following error when I validate the rule:
Operator expected after rule @JRunBatFile
Java code:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.List;
public class HyperionFile
public static int runBatFile(int i)
try {
Process exec = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\map.bat");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.err.println("FileNotFoundException: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Caught IOException: " + e.getMessage());
return 1;
I compiled the file and packaged it using bin files from java I found in program files.
registered it using from MAXL:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION MANUCPX.'@JRunBatFile' AS 'runBatFile(int)' SPEC '@JRunBatFile(int1)' COMMENT 'Run a batch file';
Uncommented permission java.security.AllPermission; in the UDF file
your help is very appreciated!

Answer 1

Have you tried it without using the RTPs, I seem to remember a problem with using a RTP with a CDF.
Also try without the sub vars just to narrow down the issue.
Why have you set Entity to String[] , I can that you have said you are picking multiple members in the RTP but I am not sure if it would work like that, maybe @LIST(RTP... would work better though if there is a probably using RTPs it may not work.
