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 :)

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

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]"

Verify "filters" through maxl

Hello -
I was trying to find the syntax/command to verify a filter through Maxl but couldn't find it. Pls, can some one guide me or provide me the syntax.
I have some 100 filters and after migration to 11x want to verify all the filters to make sure that they are working. Manual check through AAS/EAS would be very time consuming.
Also, is there any other way of doing this check? Appreciate the response.
Regards

Thank You gentelmen. Appreciate the feedback.
We actually migrated from 7x to 11x. As on 7x we were on native security, when we migrated to 11x only the apps and dbs were created.
The filters were then created through maxl script on each app/db on 11x.
They were then exported out using LCM.
Found that when you would import those filters back in 11x using LCM they become corrupt, looks like the Essbase gets confused on the double quotes i.e. " and would need a bracket around them if more then one member involved in the filter.
Example-
Initial filter created and thus exported by LCM was - ""dimension member1 ","dimension member 2"",<kind of access>,<end of line character I guess>
As one of the workaorund while importing back one will need to modify the file and put the brackets eg - "("dimension member1 "),("dimension member 2")",<kind of access>,<end of line character I guess>
But I am surprised that there is no maxl command to 'verify' the filters.....I always thought that the EAS/AAS buttons (eg verify in this case) in the backend are using a maxl command.

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

MaxL script deploy essbase studio cube

Hi There,
I am testing my MaxL script deploying cube from essbase studio, here is result from my cmd windows:
BPM connect status: success
BPM maxL deployment ... succeeded with warning.
How do I find out the detail about the warning? I assume it is essbase studio log at C:\Hyperion\logs\esbstudio
But I did not see any warning message.
Thanks

Thanks John and Glenn, I just check my app log, the warning I found is:
Warning(1013254)
Hybrid Analysis spanning cannot be enabled on database [test] in application [test]. Check if the database has Hybrid Analysis and if span into relational source is enabled.
I am not sure I understand this.

Maxl Script running Issue in Essbase 11.1.2.2

Hi All,
We have a Maxl Script which takes Level 0 Backup of the Database. We have migrated the apps to the new server 11.1.2.2 and this script is not running in the new server but it works fine in the Old Server.We have the code like this in the script
REM $1 = USERNAME
REM $2 = PASSWORD
REM $3 = servername
REM $4 = BSOAppName = RPSBSO
REM $5 = BSODB_Name = RPSBSOD
REM $6 = ASOAppName = RPSASO
REM $7 = ASODB_Name = RPSASOD
essmsh C:\Hyperion\Automation\MAXL\Backup_BSO.msh Username password gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com RPSBSO RPSBSOD RPSASO RPSASOD
When i run the .bat script an Fatal Error is shown under the above line saying
MSH Fatal Error: Error Initializing localization module.
I have changed all the path locations,server names etc according to the new environment in the script but the script is displaying error like above. Can any one help me on this.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi John Thanks for your post.
I would like to give some more information like this is the script named BU_BSO_2.bat which is used for taking backup of individual application RPSBSO, and it calls Backup_BSO.msh script which is internally called in BU_SO_2.bat file as given below the command. What we do is we just run this BU_BSO_2.bat batch file where it executes everything and places the backup in given path in the script. But actually its giving error in executing only the given below line
essmsh C:\Hyperion\Automation\MAXL\Backup_BSO.msh Username password gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com RPSBSO RPSBSOD RPSASO RPSASOD
Error shown : MSH Fatal Error: Error Initializing localization module
And i went through your doc but they are the server specific paths which we are not using in this script and this script runs fine in 11.1.1.
Let me know if i can provide any more information.
Regards,
Naveen
Try updating
essmsh C:\Hyperion\Automation\MAXL\Backup_BSO.msh Username password gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com RPSBSO RPSBSOD RPSASO RPSASOD
to
startMaxl.bat C:\Hyperion\Automation\MAXL\Backup_BSO.msh Username password gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com RPSBSO RPSBSOD RPSASO RPSASOD
If the location of startMaxl is not in the windows path variable you will need to either update the path variable or put the path in the script e.g.
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\bin\startMaxl.bat
or C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startMaxl.cmd
Alternatively edit startMaxl and take the variable information out of it and put it in your script then you will be able to use essmsh.

Enabling drill through from Essbase cube to drill through report

The requirement is that I keep summary level information in the Essbase cube and detailed granular information (order level) in a relational table.I would like to enable drill through between the cube and the report.
Please advise what would be the best approach considering the current system architecture that is outlined below.( Hyperion suite 11.1.2.1).
Would also like to know drill thru vs hybrid analysis options.
1) ASO/BSO cube is populated through Oracle Data Integrator
2) The relational transactional table is also poulated through ODI.
3) The cube would hold summary level info while thr drill through report should provide the order level details in the same context as chosen in the cube.
Would appreciate guidance on the best way forward.
Thanks & Regards,
Anirban

Incidentally we had been trying to use Essbase studio as an option.But there are 2 oints that we are trying to investigate.
1) Can we bypass deployment of data and metadata everytime through Essbase studio after the initial outline is delpoyed? In the system architecture the relational tables are populated using ODI. We would like to load the data and metadata through ODI into the cube. Eeven then can we implement drill thru bypassing deployment through Essbase Studio?
2) If Essbase studio is imperative for drill through then what are the batch automation options for deployment through Essbase studio? Ideally the option should be after the relational tables are populated through ODI then the Essbase deployment should be invoked and batch script should load the data and metadata through Essbase Studio.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Anirban

MAXL Script to update Member Filters

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've created a MAXL script which changes the lines on a Member Filter, effectively changing it from a READ to a WRITE. The only problem is after the MAXL script has run the User loses the Filter assigned to them. Is there any way of getting the Filter to stay with the user. Many Thanks Mark

You can call this maxl from a batch file scheduled from windows scheduled task.

Essbase Reports - MAXL Scripts

I can not find the MAXL script command to execute an EssbaseReport. In Esscmd, it is RunRept. Any help would be appreciated. Jamie

Just an example based on the Sample:Basic DB .... (this is for Windows, I guess the syntax for UNIX is slightly different, refer DBAG for exact details). export database sample.basic using report_file 'Essbase\\App\\Sample\\Basic\\Bottom.rep' to data_file 'D:\\Essbase\\Reports\TestReport.rpt';

Drill through with OLAP Universe on Essbase cube

Hi all
How can I achieve drill through from an Essbase cube to an Oracle database?
Is there an option in OLAP universes to achieve this?
If not do I have alternative options?
Thank you for your help and kind regards,
Dean

Hi,
There is no way to activate drill-through from Essbase to any other database within OLAP universes.
If you are using Web Intelligence you have 2 alternatives:
<li> The first one is to create 2 data providers (1 on Essbase and 1 on Oracle) and synchronize them.
This is not really a drill thorugh operation but you have both data sources in sync in the same document.
<li> The second option is to create 2 Web Intelligence documents (1 on Essbase and 1 on Oracle) and then parameterize the Essbase document to use Opendoc capabilities (hyperlink) to dril-through on the Oracle document.
