Clearing data on Database through MAXL script

Hi all,
How can i clear data on the database through maxl script.
I have to clear database based on some conditions like
dimension 1 : all levels
dimension 2 : level 3 only
dimension 3 : level 4 like so.
Please can any one suggest .

You can clear data on database using maxl. BUT you can do this only if you want to clear all data from data base.
"alter database <dbs-name> reset" is the maxl command to clear data from database.
If you want to clear data at the dimmensional level you will have to use calculation commands.
More information on this can be find here

Can i change the database connections through MAXL Scripts?

Hi,

Dropping a essbase cube member through Maxl Script

Hi,
Can anybody suggest, how I can delete the the member of a cube through MaxL Script.
Is this achievable ??

I think what you're trying to do (delete a member from a dimension) can be done in MaxL through a data load rule and an appropriate dimension load file.
See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_eashelp/dbdbstdb.htm for more information re "remove unspecified".
Also see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/imp_dims.htm for the MaxL statement "import dimensions".
Lastly, see: http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1225372045/Deleting+Members+within+a+Member+Name+in+the+outline+not+manually+but+automatically+- for a fairly indepth discussion of this issue.

How to define Sparse/dense settings through MAXL script ?

Hi,
How to define Sparse/dense settings through MAXL script ?
By default its taking all dimensions as sparse dimension type. I want to define sparse and dense through MAXLand automate everything.
Please help me out or advice me work around.
Thanks,
Rajendra Prasad Gella.

you cannot modify sparse/desne settings directly through MAXL.
The only way you will be able to build/modify/remove dimensions/members through maxl is using rules files.
So if you are building dimensions using rules files, for a new dimension you can specify dimension properties.
in rules file options -> dimension build settings -> dimension definition -> Rules file -> dimensions.
Here you can specify new dimensions and after specifying you can right click and edit properties where you can change various dimension level properties including sparse/dense settings.
And you knw me well (Krishna from Hyd) and so you can call me on my mobile if you need more info.. lol :)

Error: 1013020 Cannot clear data for database [Daily] while other users are

I'm trying to clear a (BSO, v 11.1.2.1) database, and it's failing with the following message:
Error: 1013020 Cannot clear data for database [Daily] while other users are connected.
There are no other users connected first of all. Second of all, I've never had a database fail to clear just because other users were connected. Has anyone seen this before?

WHen ever u start essbase application ..there is services starts in task manager called "ESSSvr" . The number get increased when keep opening as number of application you open ..So what i say is when u see no users in sesssion and no batch runs ahead , u can stop the Application in EAS and automatically it will log off all the users from that respective application ..And then start again the application and u can perform ur task
this usually happnes when some one is connected with excel addin or Same EAS open by another user remotely..thats what i have seen in my exp's

Retriving data from database through EntityBean to WebDynpro

Dear SDN's,
I have integrated my EJB appliaction into WebDynpro via Data Access Command Bean.
Here is my scenario.
1.Created a Dictionary Project,
2.Created a EntityBean,
In Entity Bean, i have created a finder method using the query - FindByAllAccounts
used the EJB QL to retrieve the records from the database using the following syntax in EntityBean.
<b><query>
     <query-method>
             <method-name>findByAllAccounts</method-name>
            <method-params/>
   </query-method>
   <ejb-ql>select object(s) from ServiceTypeBean s</ejb-ql>
</query></b>
3.In Session bean, the viewAllServiceTypes method which will be invoked from within the Command Bean is called the entity bean of the local home, findByAllAccount
Command Bean invoked the session bean, viewAllServiceTypes. It returns the resultSet dataType
In Web Dynpro, add the code shown below in the QueryAll button and also, the EAR file is added to the Web Dynpro as a sharing reference
After the execution of my WebDynpro,
it returns no records. It should return 2 records. I dont know where it goes wrong.
Correct me if anything is worng here.
Here what my doubt is, the return of the Entity bean and Session Bean is Collection type.
If i store the retrieved records in collection Object like vector, how can i differentiate each record to display as individual.
anyway I tried by converting the Collection Object to ResultSet.
Here is the code in the command Bean,
public ResultSet execute1()
Collection col=new Vector();
ResultSet rs=null;
try{
col=theSrType.viewAllServiceTypes();
rs=(ResultSet) col.iterator();
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return rs;
I am just calling the execute1() method in my Webdynpro program.
I know here something is wrong but my aim is to retireve set of records from database via Entity bean to display in WebDynpro Table.
Your help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Sireesha.B

For helper class you have to create a separate java project.
Auxillary class is required to store the data from the entity bean in a form that can be displayed.
For this purpose, the auxillary class must contain a field for each relevant value. The fields will be named similar to their definition in the entity bean.
For example:Entity Bean has persistent fields id, firstname, lastname.
Auxillary Class should contain all these fields and getter and setter method to access these fields.
In your EJB module project give this auxillary class project reference.
In the session bean parse the collection of Entitty Bean local references and convert it to collection of auxillary class reference.
In the command bean declare a collection type variable, write getter and setter methods for this variable, call the session bean method and assign it declared collection type variable.You dont need to write any logic inside command bean method.
Go through this URL for more information.

Cahnge the date dynamically in Maxl script

Hi All,
I am excuting one max for clearing the data for particuler cells it s ok
It will work for 9th month but next month it will not work until i dont change the value manually
Dynamically i need to change
alter database 'ACCOUNT'.'account' clear data in region '{([2010.09],[Actual])}' physical;
how can i do this , any help would be appriciated..

I think he wants to avoid updating anything manually though?
you should be able to:
a. Build the date/string in a batch file.
b. pass that date/string to the maxl script as a paramter
c. use the parameter in your alter database script
I have also seen people rebuild the entire maxl script each month from a skeleton in another text file or a database but thats probably over complicating.
You could also use that variable to update a substitution variable

Any Maxl Script to Export and import of Partition

Hi All,
Is there any maxl or Esscmd command which will do an Export or an import of the partition.
Regards,
Krishna.

Hi Krishna,
here ,there are 2 things.
Firstly, creation of partition( which is possible through MAXL scripts).Once the partition is made, an XML is created(which is what garycris was mentioning in his post).
Goto any application -> database -> partitions ->right click here , you see "import partition",and the file nature is of XML.When you look at this window , you will undestand .I am not sure of the same functinoality in MAXL.
Hope this info helps

Essbase Studio MAXL scripts not running

Hi All,
I am currently working on Essbase Studio 11.1.2.0. with Windows 2007 sp1 with 64 bit operating system . I have my datasources set to oracle database.
I am trying to create an outline through maxl scripts. My essbase services etc are running fine.
Steps of execution with the command are given below:
1. Click on the Start button, click on run, enter cmd
2. create the following maxl script named as ocreate.scr using notepad and save it. The login and password are correctly defined.
======================================================================================================
deploy outline from model 'BestModel' in cube schema '\Mydirect\Cube Schemas\Best' login 'XXXXXXX' identified by 'XXXXXX' on host 'UDANASESSBA1' to application 'test' database 'test' using connection 'Essbase_QA_Connection' keep 100000 errors on error ignore dataload write to default;
exit;
========================================================================================================
3. Run the above script as :
Essmsh ocreate.scr
On running the above script I get the following error:
===================================================
Essmsh.exe has stopped working
====================================================
Can anyone help here.
Thanks in advance
Bk

I believe there was an issue with deploying studio using 64bit Maxl, the workaround was to deploy using 32bit Maxl.
More information available in Oracle Support - "Error "essmsh.exe has stopped working" with MAXL Deploy Script Generated from Essbase Studio on Windows 64-bit [ID 1382589.1]"

Your Help will be very much appreciate.I am using SQL Server database

The error concerns these two lines:
boolean success = insertIntoDB("'" + FirstName + "','" + LastName + "','" + Email + "','" + Login + "','" + Password + "'");
statement.execute("INSERT INTO Users(user_id,FirstName,LastName,Email,Login,Password) values (" + stringtoinsert + ");");
In the first line above, you have a string which represents the VALUES which you are inserting. There are 5 values. However in the second line above this is your actual SQL execution you are specifying 6 columns of data. If the column "user_id" is an identity or auto-incrementing field in the database, just remove it from this line. If not then you need to supply the "UserID" into the VALUES.
This should fix the problem.

Help need on inserting system date on database

hello every body,
I need to insert system date into database through prepared statement.
i wrote code :
java.util.Date d=new java.util.Date();
Preparestatement psmt;
psmt.setDate(8, java.sql.Date(d));
am getting class cast exception :
could u please tell me how to insert system date through prepared statement..
thanks in advance..

Surround your code with a
try{
//Insert date here
catch(Exception e){
//handle exceptions here
e.printStackTrace();
Who says he didn't already?
Try this:
java.util.Date d=new java.util.Date();
>
Preparestatement psmt;
psmt.setDate(8, new
java.sql.Date(d.getTime()));This is correct, but can be condensed (if you want)
psmt.setDate(8, new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()));
>
It's good idea to use the JDBC escape function
instead of using a specific DBMS function. This way,
your code will be portable.
