Converting EssCmd to mxl - INCBUILDDIM

Question

Hi,
We've started to look into converting our esscmd process to mxl using cmd2mxl. The first issue we've run into is that the IncBuildDim command lines failed to be converted. Below is a copy of one of our dim update processes in esscmd:
Login "localhost" "admin" "password" ;
Select "0db1" "db1";
BeginIncBuildDim;
IncBuildDim 2 "cst1" 3 "E:\1data\cst1.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\cst1.err" 2 N;
IncBuildDim 2 "cst2" 3 "E:\1data\cst2.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\cst2.err" 2 N;
IncBuildDim 2 "cstar3" 3 "E:\1data\cstar3.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\cstar3.err" 2 N;
IncBuildDim 2 "parts" 3 "E:\1data\parts.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\parts.err" 2 N;
IncBuildDim 2 "blcrdpt" 3 "E:\1data\eblcrdpt.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\blcrdpt.err" 2 Y;
EndIncBuildDim 1;
Exit ;
After running the conversion command, the log file showed that it could not parse the IncBuildDim statement lines.
We've checked with tech support and the feedback is that there is no corresponding mxl command for IncBuildDim. Our questions are:
1) Is the statement from tech support true?
2) If that's the case, how to modify the above process in esscmd so that it'll get converted to mxl?
Thanks for all the help.

I'm not sure why your incremental dim builds are not converting,. I've not had a problem with it, but if you want to create it manually here are some samples from tech reference how to do it
For Data File Sources:
import database sample.basic dimensions
from server text data_file 'genref' using server rules_file 'genref' suppress verification,
from server text data_file 'level' using server rules_file 'level' suppress verification,
from server text data_file 'time' using server rules_file 'time'
preserve input data on error append to 'C:\Hyperion\EAS\eas\client\dataload.err';
For SQL Sources:
import database sample.basic dimensions
connect as 'usrname1' identified by 'password1' using server rules_file 'genref',
connect as 'usrname2' identified by 'password2' using server rules_file 'level',
connect as 'usrname3' identified by 'password3' using server rules_file 'time'
on error append to 'C:\Hyperion\EAS\eas\client\dataload.err';
