Error executing essbase report script using maxl

Hi,
V 11.1.2.1 (64 bit) on windows
An essbase report script errors when it is run from maxl. When I run it directly in maxl the error is
Error - 1030205 - Client directory does not exisit: ...EssbaserServer\<instance>\client
When I run it within EAS the error is
Client directory does not exisit: EPMSystem11R1/common/EssbaseRTC-64/11.1.2.0client
Unexpected essbase error 1030205
The client is installed but the folder locations do not exist. There is a calc script which does a data export which works fine. The essbase report can be manually executed without a problem. This worked fine in 9.3.1.
Here is the script (without actual names)
export database 'app'.'database' using report_file 'AReport' to data_file 'c:\\Output.txt';
I would appreciate any help. I have looked at the knowledge base and can't find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
I would appreciate

Hi,
The issue is now resolved.
The client folder must be created where the EAS service is, not Essbase. Once this was done the report script could not be found. In discussion over the phone with Oracle we did some testing, as they use a non distributed environment. If you use 'using report file' you need to specify the path to the report file i.e.
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem\EssbaseServer\<instance>\app\<app name>\<database>\report.rep'
The .rep must also be included.
If you use 'using server report file' you only need to specify the report name, without the extension, and the data file path. You specify the path as normal i.e. D:\nathan.txt but you can get away with simply a file name such as 'nathan.txt'. In a distributed environment this exports to the server where the EAS service is to
<drive>:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem
When Oracle support did this it went to the Essbase bin folder as it was a non distributable environment.
The subtle differences between 9.3.1 and 11.1.2.1......
Thanks to all those who contributed.

Update Essbase Cfg setting using MAXL or ESSCMD

Hi All,
I want to change the essbase.cfg settings using MAXL or Esscmd. Is this possible? I could figure out changing Substitution Variables but am looking forward to change settings like CALCCACHE, etc...
If yes, please let me know any insights on the same.
Thanks,
AJ.

There is no pre defined feature that allows you to do this, but if you want to override the values in .cfg file, depending on what those values are, you can just set them in your calc script, ie: CalcCache, etc. It is best to do this manually anyway, as once you finished, you will need to recycle the Essbase service for them to take effect.

Essbase report script match pattern on alias

report scriptHi,
I need some help on essbase report script. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to use the essbase report script command "<MATCH" so that I can match for a pattern on the alias name as opposed to the member name. I have searched the Internet with no luck. Maybe someone in this community knows how to do this. If you can reply with a specific example that would help me out as I am very visual.
Thanks in advance.

You can use <REPALIAS, e.g., for Sample.Basic:
<REPALIAS "Product"
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
Diet Cola
(24,761)
Diet Root Beer 25,185,158,741
Diet Cream
23,703,677,612
Diet Cola
(24,761)
Diet Root Beer 25,185,158,741
Diet Cream
23,703,677,612
Diet Drinks
48,888,811,592
Using <OUTALT on its own (confusingly, at least as I read the documentation) continues selecting by alias, but displays member name:
<OUTALT
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
100-20
(24,761)
200-20
25,185,158,741
300-30
23,703,677,612
100-20
(24,761)
200-20
25,185,158,741
300-30
23,703,677,612
Diet
48,888,811,592
Without either, the MATCH only looks at member names:
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
Diet
48,888,811,592

Executing Essbase Clear Script through FDM event scripts

Hi,
Is it possible to access and execute essbase clear script through FDM event scripts? I know one method is to modify Load action, but was wondering if can be done any other way.
Thanks in advance.

The Essbase client is installed on the FDM application server so yes. You can create a batch file that calls a calc script via the Essbase Client and execute this from your Event script

Execute Essbase Calc Scripts from FDM

Hi,
Can any of you let me know how to execute Essbase Calc Scripts from FDM, these Calc Scripts are on Essbase Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

See the thread below:
Re: FDM - Script

Executing a calc script in MAXL

"Heaven to murgatroid" this has completely defeated me today so all help will be gratefully accepted.
I have an Essbase application (NPG3BK) with 4 databases (BMR, Detail, Main & Workforce) - 3 are Planning Types and a fourth is added for reporting.
I have 1 Essbase Calc script at application level - the calc script is called ExBinAll. It verifies perfectly and I can run it manually against any of the databases.
I have a MAXL script to run the calculation against each of the databases under NPG3BK. The relevant piece of code is...
alter system load application 'NPG3BK';
execute calculation NPG3BK.'ExBinAll.csc' on database BMR;
However when the batch runs I get this message...
ERROR - 1012500 - The requested calc script [ExBinAll.csc] not found.
Environment: Win2008 R2
Essbase: 11.1.2.1.600
Logged on to Win2008 with a server administrator ID.
Logged into Essbase/MAXL with an Hyperion administrator ID.
I have checked the application name and calc script name SO many times through EAS and Windows Explorer. It's there!!
Can anyone out there resolve this for me?
Many thanks for your help
PW

Celvin, many thanks - unfortunately that didn't work either..
I've tried..
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'ExBinAll' on database BMR;
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'ExBinAll' on database 'BMR';
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'ExBinAll.csc' on database BMR;
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'ExBinAll.csc' on database 'BMR'; and ALL got the same error code 1012500
So I decided to try store the calcscript ExBinAll under the database NPG3BK.BMR and run it with the following syntax ..
execute calculation NPG3BK.BMR.'ExBinAll.csc'; gives      ERROR - 1012864 - Calculation script name [ExBinAll.csc] is longer than [8] characters.
execute calculation NPG3BK.BMR.'ExBinAll'; gives      the original (1012500) error.
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'BMR'.'TEST.csc'; gives      the original (1012500) error. {ERROR - 1012500 - The requested calc script [TEST] not found.}
Any other ideas from anyone?

Report script - using substitution variable with multiple values

Hi All,
Substitution variable with multiple values is not working correctly with Report scripts. Can you please let me know what is the syntax to assign multiple values to a sub variable using maxl:
alter database samp.samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4';
alter database Samp.Samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1:Q4';
I tried both of the above but they are errored out with the below error:
Error: 1001005 - Unknown Member [Q1:Q4] in Report.
my requirement is different for both Actual and forecast data extract so i would like to make use of this variable to extract whole year data for Forecast and current quarter data for Actual with out duplicating the report scripts for both processes.
Thanks,
PRaveen

Hi,
Please refer following thread,

Substitution Variable in Essbase Report Script

Hi All,
In my report script I want to use Essbase Substitution Variable, just as an replacement to Text field... I am using following syntax:
{STARTHEADING
TEXT 0 "Bud"
&StartMonthNo
TEXT 0 "12"
ENDHEADING}
Where StartMonthNo is 1 ... I don't want to add this variable as some member in Essbase, just need to display Heading as
Bud
1
12
Using above syntax, it is just showing
Bud
12
I have tried many syntax like Text 0 &StartMonthNo or Text 0 "&StartMonthNo" But nothing seems to be working...
Please lemme know if I am missing something here .. Please give me some suggestions ...

Hi,
Your thinking is sound and creative, however due to the way they work you can't define a subvar as a concatenation of other subvars because it will be interpreted literally. e.g.
sv1 = hello
sv2 = world
sv3 = &sv1 + &sv2
sv3 interpreted by essbase will be: &sv1 + &sv2 and throw an error.
(If you think about it, concatenating two 255 char subvars into another would still exceed the character liimit.)
So,
if you want to concatenate several long subvars, just define them and mash them together:
&sv1 &sv2 = hello world

Error: 1030001 while Dimension Building using MaxL

Hi, I am bulding dimesions using MaxL import statement. My script builds the diemsions properly. But in Logfile, It shows this error without generating any error files. ...... ..... OK/INFO - 1021000 - Connection With SQL Database Server is Established. OK/INFO - 1021002 - SQL Connection is Freed. OK/INFO - 1007132 - Building Dimensions Elapsed Time : [0.781] seconds.

Can anybody can help me out with it? I know that Error: 1030001 is geneated due to API or path problems, I checked all paths, all is good. Thanks in advance, Marma

We are getting this error too. I believe that the error occurs because Essbase tries to evaluate outline before you finish building all of your dimensions. To me, it should be a Warning, not an Error. But my experience with Essbase is that anything that has to do with GUI or presentation of information to its developers (non-scrollable text boxes, log info, etc.) is lousy, so this is not a surprise. I had to build a logic in my batch programs to ignore this error when parsing log file for errors in execution. Hope you can do the same.

To View Calc Scripts and Report scripts via MaxL or Esscmd

Hi all,
Can somebody tell how to read any calc script or report script in any database with the help of MaxL or Esscmd?
For example if there is any .csc or .rep file, I want to read the context of the file i.e. the script that is written in the file. Is it possible via MaxL or Esscmd?
Does Hyperion supports this functionality?
Regards,
James

You know that calc and report scripts are text files, right?
They are typically stored in the database directory, although that is not a requirement; they can be stored in other client-accessible directories and run from there.
I haven't done it in ages, but is also possible to pass calc and report scripts to Essbase via the API. I can't remember if the API will let you enumerate calc scripts from the database directory. I sort of strongly think yes. Someone who is more knowledgeable will either correct or refute that statement pretty soon. :)
If you want to list the objects (calcs or reports): http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/techref.htm
A few things that you can do with MaxL re calc scripts:
1) execute calculations, including a string that you pass through MaxL: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/excalc.htm
2) delete calculations: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/drpcalc.htm
3) list the calcs: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/dispclc.htm
4) create the calc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/crecalc.htm
Report scripts are sort of a poor relation in MaxL (and were in Esscmd as well). You can basically only run a report as kind of export: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/exprt.htm
So, I think it's mostly there, especially the display object command. BTW, if MaxL can list it, the API can too -- how else does MaxL work?

11.1.1.3 ASO report script in maxl

I am attempting to run a report script in a maxl script. Its erroring put on 'using'.
This is the command i tried:
export database sample.basic using report_file 'EssbaseServer\\App\\Sample\\Basic\\asym.rep' to data_file 'c:\\home\\month2.rep';
I even tried to use SERVER.... report_file....
I tried to use the full server path d:\\hyperion\\.... Although its erroring out on ['using'].
Any ideas?

Part of the reason this didn't work in the first place was
example: export database sample.basic using server report_file 'asym' to data_file 'c:\home\month2.rep';
in difference to the example above I had this (see the ALL CAPS)
export database sample.basic DATA using server report_file 'asym' to data_file 'c:\home\month2.rep';
on error to ....
So I had some excess information it didn't need. Now the production is working but I get that error in my last post on the Development server batch.

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!

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

Essbase Report Script Help - Restrict

Hi folks,
Problem : We are building a cube to perform tier/stage based allocations.
I have to generate a report script that displays balances of each cost center(row), for each tier (coloumn).
but i have to restrict the data strictly to <0 or negetive balances for all coloumns
I have used
<RESTRICT (@DataCol(1) < 0 )
to restrict for coloumn one, but when i tried to repeat this for coloumn 2, the script gives me a syntax error that i cant use restrict more than once. Is there a way around it
Thank you in advance .

restrict is limited to a single data column. It would not make sense to restrict on multiple columns. think about the implication if you could. what you might consider is have a total column and restrict on it.
