Deleting dimension via script?

Is it possible to automatically delete a whole (Atrribute) dimension (via MAXL-Scripts perhaps)? The only solution I have seen until now is to build a load rule and delete any dimension members via the "remove unspecified" option but unfortunately this works only for the members of a dimension and not the dimension itself. Any help is appreciated.

Hello, This is a good one. Use with caution the Alter database sample.basic reset all; This will delete the outline and the data. I do not know a finer method. Maybe somebody else. Regards, Philip Hulsebosch www.Trexco.nl

Deleting the scheduled workbooks that are no longer valid - via script

Hi,
I would like to delete the results of the scheduled workbooks (created by users other than me) with scheduled workbooks status like 'Error while running query" or "Report Expired" or "EUL has changed, reschedule report". From Discoverer Administrator (version: 10.1.2.1) --> Tools --> Manage Scheduled Workbooks --> search by user, I can only delete one scheduled workbook at a time. Is there a way to delete these via a script of some kind?
If any one has a sample script and if you can share here that'd be awesome.
Thanks in advance,
-Esther

Ran into Note:459747.1 from metalink. It has information to identify the scheduled workbook results etc., But according to the note in this note "Note: The tables mentioned here should never be updated or deleted manually."
But the admin tool allows to delete one scheduled workbook result at a time based on the status.
Any information here would be beneficial...
Thanks

Deleting cube or dimension via XML

Does anybody have an XML template I can use to delete cubes and/or dimensions from an Analytic Workspace, rather than using AWM ? I have a PL/SQL utility to create cubes and dimensions via XML templates (using DBMS_AW_XML.EXECUTE), but I'd like to build in functionality to delete structures if they already exist.
It looks like the Java API contains functions to perform these actions, but I'm not a Java person, and I'd like to trigger these actions from my PL/SQL utility, and executing XML seems a neat option.

I managed to find a way of doing it, using XML like the attached, where you replace CUBEXYZ with the name of the cube you wish to delete. Similar approach works for deleting dimensions.

<AWXML version = '1.0' timestamp = 'Mon Feb 11 13:29:11 2002'>
<AWXML.content>
<Delete Id="Action0">
<ActiveObject>
<Cube Id="CUBEXYZ.CUBE">
</Cube>
</ActiveObject>
</Delete>
</AWXML.content>
</AWXML>

Writing commands to get specific data channels in the output report via script or automated script generation..

In my project I have to make certain calculation and then get the data plotted in the given report template. I am using automated script for this. My script is doing all the calculations and then it not selecting and drag-dropping the selected channels on the report template. Its saving the blank report template.
I am struggling to get the data for specific channels plotted by using the script. I need the selected channels to be plotted on this report template and then get it saved.
Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks
Solved!

Hi LaxG,
Brad is absolute right. It is possible to create your whole layout via script.
If you have loaded the example report layout you can copy these lines to create a new line in your plot. This is the recommended object oriented way.
call Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Add(e2DShapeLine, "anyName")
Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape.XChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Zeit"
Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape.YChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Geschwindigkeit"
For performance reasons it's recommended to use the it like this.
dim oLine
set oLine = Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape
oLine.XChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Zeit"
oLine.YChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Geschwindigkeit"
Like Brad mentioned it is much easier, that you have a stored template of your report with all setings and customisations already done.
You open this layout file and have stored the names of your calculated channels. When you are doing this with a script they always have the same name and belong to the same group.
Now you can customize the references of the line items.

Is it possible to modify the tag structure tree and the role map via scripting?

We use unstructured FrameMaker to produce training materials which we distribute as tagged PDF to meet accessibility requirements.
When FrameMaker creates a tagged PDF, it does a fairly good job of populating the structure based on the PDF setup information for the paragraph formats in the FrameMaker documents. However, there are some limitations in the support that FrameMaker provides. For example, almost all paragraphs are assigned to the P role even if they are headings and should be mapped to H1-H6.
We want to be able to easily post-process a PDF that has been generated from FrameMaker to fix some of the tag structure issues (including tag names and the role map) so that the PDF will provide the optimum experience for a user of the JAWS screen reader.
I spent some time reading the SDK documentation but didn't find much information about manipulating a tagged PDF via the API, especially via scripting.
Does anyone have any examples or references which explain how to do it?

AFAIK, it's not possible with a script. You might want to ask in the SDK forum, as it could be possible with a plugin.

How to determine installed version of EMET via script?

Hi all,
I was not able to find a easy way to determine installed verison of EMET via script. If you can guide me in the right direction, this would help a lot.
Many thanks
Sam

This is probably not the right forum for scripting questions and you didn't specify which script you (want to) use... Below you can find some examples...
If you use VBscript you could use WMI and query the class Win32_Product:
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Product where Name like '%EMET%'")
For Each objSoftware in colSoftware
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objSoftware.Name
Wscript.Echo "Version: " & objSoftware.Version
Next
This method is not advisable because the class isn't optimized for queries and therefore the query takes a long time!
You can also use the Windows Installer object:
Option Explicit
' Connect to Windows Installer object
Dim installer
Set installer = Wscript.CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Dim product, products
Set products = installer.Products
For Each product In products
if instr(1,installer.ProductInfo(product, "InstalledProductName"), "EMET", vbTextCompare) > 0 AND instr(1,installer.ProductInfo(product, "Publisher"), "Microsoft", vbTextCompare) > 0 then
Wscript.Echo installer.ProductInfo(product, "InstalledProductName")
Wscript.Echo installer.ProductInfo(product, "VersionString")
End If
Next
Set products = Nothing
Set installer = Nothing
Wscript.Quit 0
This method enumerates all the products but be aware that you should also check the installstate because the installstate of a product also can be advertised.
You can also use powershell to enumerate the uninstall registry keys but you have take into account that the results may be different on a 64-bit Windows and the bitness of the powershell proces:
gci "hklm:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall" | foreach { gp $_.PSPath } | select DisplayVersion,DisplayName | where { $_.DisplayName -match "^EMET*" }
You can also install and use the
Windows Installer PowerShell Module and use this command:
get-msiproductinfo | where { $_.Name -like '*EMET*' } | select ProductName,ProductVersion | format-list
On the internet you can find a lot of information about your question. For instance I found these pages:

Hi All - I sent an sms using my iphone 5 - It is PAYG and had no money in it. (stupidly)
It tried to send as an SMS but gave the 'green button reject message'.(no money)
Step 2 in this stupidity - the phone keeps trying to send the deleted text via SMS and wont stop notifying me of this. Totally ruining the functionallity of my phone, and more so totally annoying. All I want to do is stop the constant re-trying of sending the deleted SMS.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks!

Hi, many thanks for your help - Pressing and holding sleep/reset hasn't worked, the msg is still continually reporting it is failing to send. I can restore to a previous version however I'll lose my paid apps. Is there any way to work around this. I'm only concerned about one app - Epocam HD which I purchased last month. My last backup on PC is 4 March 13 - before I bought the paid app - Itunes advises me I'll have to re-pay to get my apps (app) back. Even though it advises that icloud backed up this morning at 1:30 am (which although it is before the text, I cannot manually select this restore).
What a mess!

Set filename of printed PDF via script

Hi folks!
I have a little problem with generating a PDF. First my Workflow:
I have a InDesign document with 6 pages. This document is merged with a databasefile containing 100 records. After merging it, we have to generate a PDF file. This PDF file is opened within acrobat. Within the document, I'm searching for an ID each record has so I can split the document to 100 files (each with 6 pages) and name it by the ID I found.
The script within Acrobat is finished and working. I thought, the InDesign script is finished ,too. But I was wrong -.-
I merged the databasefile with the document and exported it as PDF. But after exporting, we noticed that the script within Acrobat isn't finding the adressheader where the ID is in. The script only noticed the text after that header. The result is, that Acrobat get's always "null" as ID
If we print the PDF with our PDFprinter, the header could be read by our Acrobat script. I don't know why this is... But now I changed the script to print the files via our PDF printer. Unfortunately I can't set a name for my exported file - do you know if there is a possibility to print PDF's without prompting after each one and with a via script given name?
Here you can see the old script for InDesign and right after it, the Acrobat sript. Maybe I made some mistake by generating my PDFexport and don't need to use the printer?

Bug: Setting "Don't include footnotes" via scripting doesn't change the find/change dialog

Hi,
Small bug, but can be confusing. Whether you write this line:
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
or this line:
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = true;
... you won't see any different in the little footnotes button in the
find/replace dialog, even though the setting does work via scripting.
More testing is needed to see what can be done to get the UI in sync
with the setting...
Ariel

The dialog isn't updated while it's displayed. But hiding the dialog and displaying it again (twice Ctrl+F) shows that the script did do its thing.

Concatenate text and property of dimension in script logic

hello experts,
how to concatenate text and property of dimension in script logic?
as example:
dimension : interco
property : mgmtallocdefcc
*WHEN TIME.YEAR
*IS %YEAR_VAR%
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,ACCOUNT=12345,ENTITY="I_" [INTERCO],MGMTALLOCDEFCC)
*NEXT
then it will read all as text: I_[INTERCO].MGMTALLOCDEFCC
for example the value of property mgmtallocdefcc in interco dimension (INTERCO.MGMTALLOCDEFCC) is ABCDE.
what i expect is :I_ABCDE
thanks!

Hi Yoki,
Concatenation is only possible between text and variables %VAR% or $VAR$.
Like ENTITY=I_%SOMEVAR%
But in your case instead of concatenate you have to use other property like TARGETENTITY having valid ENTITY members:
ENTITY=INTERCO.TARGETENTITY

ITunes Music Locations - controlling workstations remotely via script?

I do storage administration at a company with over 2000 users scattered across the globe. Predictably, at least have use iTunes. We redirect the "My Documents" folder to a network location to force the backup of critical project data. This creates a huge problem for us. iTunes defaults to using the My Music folder in My Documents. This means we are storing and backing up at least 1TB of music.
I have found that iTunes stores its configuration in xml files in the application data directory in the user profile. I cannot readily figure out where in this file the location is recorded.
Has anyone confronted this problem, and if so, is there a way to control iTunes installs remotely to set the music folder location, via script, GPO or anything at all?

The library location is indeed stored in the iTunesPrefs.xml file. Look for the key "iTunes Library Location:1".
But I have a script that almost does what you want. Here is the perl source:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/itunesopenlibrary.txt
Here is a compiled EXE for it:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/itunesopenlibrary.zip
Anyway, the script basically works by setting the library location to a path that you pass to it. It does so by updating the iTunesPrefs.xml file. This file is very small, so you shouldn't need to worry about it!
Of course, the script only works if the iTunesPrefs.xml file already exists. It would be nice if you could include a template iTunesPrefs.xml in your new user creation/login script. If the path is the same for every user, well, then you're done I guess.
If not, you can run the script to set the path to what you really want it to be.
Existing users are a different story. You can run my script to change the library location, of course. But then you also have to move their existing library file and their music back to that location. Well, you don't have to; you can make the users do it themselves! Also, I don't know if that will work as I haven't tested it.
I haven't fully explained everything, but I don't have time right now. I hope at least I've given you some ideas. Of course the optimum solution is an Apple-provide GPO you could use. You can try asking apple for it via either a bugreport (if you have an ADC account), or the feedback page for iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

[ASK] Get One Row of Property Value From Dimension in Script Logic

PLAN_2011                                   2011        A
PLAN_2011_V1                            2011        I
ACTUAL_2011                              2011        I
FORECAST_2011                         2011        I
FORECAST_2011_V1                  2011        A
PLAN_2012                                  2012        A
PLAN_2012_V1                           2012        I
ACTUAL_2012                             2012        I

FORECAST_2012_V1                  2012        A
If i scope CATEGORY like this :
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = [CATEGORY].PROPERTIES("YEAR") = "2011"
Then i will get member scope like this :
PLAN_2011                                   2011        A
PLAN_2011_V1                            2011        I
ACTUAL_2011                              2011        I
FORECAST_2011                         2011        I
FORECAST_2011_V1                  2011        A
Question :
In script logic, how can i read the second record of scope and move it to variable ?
Ex. : I read second record, so i can get the data of second record (PLAN_2011_V1, 2011, A).
Is there any function to read all record that had been scope ? So i can read all those 5 records.
Is there any substring or offset function in script logic ? How to use it ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Firstly, when we scope the logic, it doesnt fetch the entire record from the member sheet. It just fetches the ID.
Secondly, we dont have the feasibility to read only the second ID and skip the others. However, one alternative is that you use the SELECT statement to store all the IDs in a variable, and then use a FOR loop. But this will loop through all the 5 IDs, as per your example. If you want to skip all the IDs except one, you should maintain some property, so that all the IDs are neglected which doesnt have a particular property value.
Hope you got the idea.

How do I enable a Java plug-in via script that was just added to the blocklist?

I need to enable Java 6u29 that was just added to the blocklist via script because there are several thousand end-nodes involved. Also, I am constrained to Firefox 3.6 due application compatibility issues.

Probably the only or easiest way to remove or disable the blocklist of older Java versions would be to disable blocklisting by locking the extensions.blocklist.enabled to false via a mozilla.cfg file. 
You are already running a no longer supported Firefox 3.6.x version that won't receive updates.
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
lockPref("extensions.blocklist.enabled", false);
