Creating a MaxLStatement to call a report script

I created a MAxl statement to call a report script to create a text file ouput.
here's the syntax I am using
export database appname.databasename using report file '\\\\servername\\dir\\Reportsc.rep' to data_file 'D:\\Hyperion\Essbase\\report.txt'
When I execute in EAS , get a message that the statement executed successfully, but the file was not created in the directory.
Any ideas of why the output file is not created?

A couple things of note.
1. There is a single backslash in the path, that could affect where it was sent.
2. Did it go to the D: drive of the EAS server?

Calling a report from pl/sql

Is it possible to call a report from pl/sql. I want to create a package which when invoked by dbms_jobs will create parameters and then call a report.

Creating a print button to call a Report Query and pass filters

If i use the REPORT QUERY option in APEX 4 to create an statement that is the same one used in an interactive report, can I create a link or button to the REPORT QUERY and pass all the session and filter information from the interactive report to the report query?
This way I can have the interactive report screen where the user can do all sorts of modifications and such and then pass those to the REPORT QUERY so I can call that from a custom link or button.
You may ask "why does he need another print button?"
Answer: I am using a view that has some embedded HTML tags to format the output really nicely. The HTML download version created by the interactive reports works beautifully. The customer also wants a PDF version (meh) which does not render the HTML tags and actually echos them as part of the text. I found that I can create another view that uses the CHR function to create all the breaks and such I was doing with HTML and these do render properly in PDF. So, I figured just have 2 reports: 1 Interactive and 1 using a REPORT QUERY. I just want to call the REPORT QUERY version but use the Interactive Search form to set all the parameters.
Or, am I over thinking this and there is an easier method?
I made a previous post where I showed how I got the APEX printing to work and i hoped that helped someone out - fixing this issue would put the whole thing to rest.
Thanks

Is BI Publisher desktop (MS Word add-in) a possibility? This would allow you to use MS Word to create your output template (RTF) that would result in a properly formatted PDF. Of course, you'd have to right an updated version of the query without HTML embedded. Just thinking outside of the box.

Calling a report from unix shell script

Hi,
I had to call a report from unix shell script.
May i know the procedure to accomplish this
Thanks in Advance
A.Gopal

First you should not include the whole path to your report in the call ...
Use like this:
/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/bin/rwrun.sh report=an_stati destype=file desname=/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/test.pdf desformat=pdf
In $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh:
1) Verify that you have updated the REPORTS_PATH variable to include your folder where you have the report in question
REPORTS_PATH=/ora/u20/app/qits/env1/run:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo: ....
2) Verify that the REPORTS_TMP variable is pointing to a valid location and that the oracle user has access to write on it.
After that, post the content of the tracefile located at $ORACLE_HOME/reports/logs/{in-process report server name folder}/rwserver.trc
If no file is present then it means that you need to enable trace in your reports's conf file.... go to the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf folder and and locate the .conf file that correspond to your in-process reports server name (as specified in the rwservelet.properties file)... open/edit the file to enable trace logs ..
i.e.
Change the following line:

to <trace traceOpts="trace_all"/>
Bounce the reports server and try to run the report again, this time the .trc file should be generated, post the content so that we can take a look.

Creating a range with Substitution Variables for Report Script

Is it possible to create a range with substituion varables for use in a report script. For example instead of listing "Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" in the report script can I use a sub varaible like Jan:Apr that will list them all out?

while I have not had luck with ranges in report scripts, others have. You could have a substitution variable the is "Jun" "Jul " "Aug" or whatever you want the members to be. and it will replace jusr fine

Calling an rss script with rs.exe fails to result in a report pdf from VB6 w/ ShellEx.

Calling an rss script with rs.exe fails to result in a report pdf from VB6 w/ ShellEx.
If I call rs.exe with the various parameters from the command prompt I have success(other than rs.exe using the temp folder, which is a different issue). But when I try to execute the same process from a Visual Basic 6.0 application utilizing
the ShellEx api call, the report creation and output to PDF format do not occur. There is no error raised.
Yes, I wish I could use a newer dev tool but that isn't an option right now. I think this should work. Can ya'll tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Help to create a Report Script

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to translate this calculation script line
@REMOVE( @CHILDREN("P&L"), @LIST(@UDA ("Accounts", "wo_CC"), @UDA ("Accounts", "wo_C2"), "AX70000", "C71110") )
by this Report script line :
<LINK (<CHILD ("P&L") AND NOT (<UDA ("Accounts", "wo_C2") OR <UDA ("Accounts", "wo_CC") OR <MEMBER("AX70000") OR <MEMBER("C71110")))
but it doesn't work ==> Report extract account with wo_C2 or wo_CC
What's wrong with my code ?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Yohan

You could do a simple powershell script to query the network path and send an email on failures.
$test = Test-Path "\\server\folder"
If (!($test -eq $true)
{Send-MailMessage -To [email protected] -From [email protected] -Subject "Drive Test Failed" -Body "The test has failed" -SMTPServer yourserver.domain.com }
Create this as a scheduled task on the server that needs to query.

Essbase report script in ODI procedure/variable

Hi,
Is there a way to call an existing report script in essbase in an ODI procedure/variable?
BEST!
Edited by: 867760 on Sep 1, 2011 2:39 PM

Yes you can use the essbase Java API and create a procedure either using Java, Jython or Groovy.

Report Script parameter

hi all,
I am using a report script to generate a text file with budget data. This works fine in AAS console but I am automating this process by usning an ESSCMD and batch script.
tha batch script will call the ESSCMD script which in turn executes the follwoing command
RUNREPT 2 "RepScripName" "c:\Otputfile.txt"
Now here I am hard coding the Output file name and location.But my requirement is that when I run the script it should prompt for file name and location.
Any Idea on this
Thanks

Hi,
Just to expand on the MAXL option, you can create a batch script which will accept input parameters such as :-
set /p RepName=Enter Report Name
set /p OutputName=Enter output Directory
Then you can pass the stored variables into the Maxl script as :-
essmsh maxlscript.mxl %RepName% %OutputName%
In your maxl script you can access the passed in variables e.g
export database 'appname'.'dbname' using server report_file $1 to data_file $2;
The number after the $ relates to what position the variable was passed into the script.
Hope this helps.

Report script command to get all Level 0 members of a given member

Hi,
Is there any Report script command to get all Level 0 members of a given member (Parent)? (very similar to @RELATIVE (mbrName, 0) in Calc Scripts).
<DIMBOTTOM gives all the level 0 members in the dimension.
There is a command called
<LEAVES mbrName
This works only for ASO.
Is there anything similar for BSO?
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ethan.

from my blog on report scripts at
http://glennschwartzbergs-essbase-blog.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Third, there is a command to stay away from, its DimBottom. [edited] Like @CURRMBR in calc scripts, DimBottom is one of those commands that is very slow. If you use Query designer to create a report, it uses a better way. It uses the link command. In sample.basic to get all level 0 products it uses
<Link ((<LEV("Product", 0)) AND ( <DESC("Product")))

Help with Report Script please :(

Hi,
I'm trying to write a report script with a slight calculation and would really appreciate some help.
Ideally I want to create a report where I only get the Account and Value. I select all my members but I need a calculation on the Entity dimension. Here's what i am trying to achieve:
(All selected members for all Entities + All selected members for all Entities in group RIA-IFRS REPORTING ADJS. ) Yes I'm duplicating the members of group RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS.
So account 100 for all Entities = 50
account 100 for all Entities in RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS. = 25
I want to display account 100 grouped as 75 without showing a line for each entity.
This is what I have so far but it doesn't work right:
ROWREPEAT
SUPCOLHEADING
SUPCOMMAS
SUPHEADING
SUPBRACKETS
SUPEMPTYROWS
TABDELIMIT
MISSINGTEXT "#mi"
DECIMAL 2
NOINDENTGEN
<PAGE ( Years, Version, Currency, Scenario, InterCompany, "Entity", "Cost Center","Set of Books","Reporting")
"FY10" "Current" "Currency" "Actual" "InterCompany" "Entity" "Cost Center" "AB_CON_USD" "Reporting"
<ROW ("Account")
<LINK(<DESCENDANTS("Total Balance Sheet Accounts","Lev0,Account"))
{ CALCULATE ROW "Entity" = "Entity" + "RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS."})
<COL (Period)
"Dec"

Essbase reports do not put row headers on (Headers for the dimension members from the <rows command).
The best I have been able to do in the past was to have a file with the header info I wanted and after the report was created concatinate the header file with the report file using the Dos copy command.

Goal
How to optimize Hyperion Essbase Report Scripts?
Solution
To optimize your Report follow the suggested guidelines below:
1. Decrease the amount of Dynamic Calcs in your outline. If you have to, make it dynamic calc and store.
2. Use the <Sparse command at the beginning of the report script.
3. Use the <Column command for the dense dimensions instead of using the Page command. The order of the dense dimensions in the Column command should
be the same as the order of the dense dimension in the outline. (Ex. <Column (D1, D2)).
4. Use the <Row command for the sparse dimensions. The order of the sparse dimensions in the Row command should be in the opposite order of the sparse
dimension in the outline. (Ex. <Row (S3, S2, S1)). This is commonly called sparse bottom up method.
5. If the user does not want to use the <Column command for the dense dimensions, then the dense dimensions should be placed at the end of the <Row command.
(Ex. <Row (S3, S2, S1, D1, D2)).
6. Do not use the Page command, use the Column command instead.

Calling a report from a form based on procedure

I created a form based on a procedure.
It is a entry form where the user is selecting or enters data then on submit I must display the report based on selected data.
I know I can simply create a report with all bind variable and do the job.
My question is what is the syntax to call the report from the procedure for the selected parameters values.
Thanks
Lawrence

If you want to display other HTML page after successful submission, you need to use
either go or call method.
I created a form on SCOTT.EMP and a report on SCOTT.EMP and the report accept a parameter for
the deptno. Here is my on successfull submission code:
declare
l_dept number;
l_url varchar2(2000);
begin
l_dept := p_session.get_value_as_number('DEFAULT', 'A_DEPTNO', 1);
l_url := 'scott.rpt_mask_1.show?p_arg_names=emp.deptno&p_arg_values='| |l_dept;
go(l_url);
end;
