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.

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.

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

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

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 Help Needed - Data Extract

Hi,
I have a cube with 11 dims: Account, Period, Resource, Facility, SSSS, CCCC, Activity, Years, Version, Scenario, Charges
I need a report script that will extract data for a certain year and scenario only. I have not written a report script in a long time and have the following thus far. However it's not extracting data that I know exists. Can anyone help? Thanks is advance. This runs but I just get a blank screen or file....
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
// This report script extracts data from cube
"FY11"
{DECIMAL 4}
{NAMEWIDTH 25}
{SUPCOMMAS}
{SUPBRACKETS}
{SUPPAGEHEADING}
{NOINDENTGEN}
{SUPMISSINGROWS}
{SUPZEROROWS}

//"SEP"
//"OCT"
//"NOV"
//"DEC"
"BUDGET"
// This is the members of the CCCC dimension to extract
// This is the members or the ACCOUNT dimension to extract
!

Hello -
You can try/modify the code below and see if this works -
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
{ SUPMISSINGROWS }
{ SUPZEROROWS }
{ SUPFEED, SUPBRACKETS, SUPCOMMAS }
{ NOINDENTGEN }
{ DECIMAL 4}

{MISSINGTEXT "-" }
<PAGE ("Scenario", "Resource", "Facility" ,"SSSS", "Activity", "Version", "Charges")
"Budget"
"Resource"
"Facility"
"SSSS"
"Activity"
"Version"
"Charges"
<COLUMN ("Year","Period")

<ROW ("Account", "CCCC")
<LINK (<DESCENDANTS ("ACCOUNT") AND <LEV("ACCOUNT",0))
<LINK (<DESCENDANTS ("RT9_CCCC") AND <LEV("CCCC",0))
Here you may want to change teh combination in the Page dimensions for eg -
I know for Scenario you want Budget
But for Version should it be "Version" or may be "Working" Or "Final" or any other version dimension member ...?
Same way modify the dimension memebres for other dimensions.

Report Script Help Needed

Hi,
I have not written one in years and am having trouble with a fairly simple one (I think). Was wondering if you could take a look. Anyways we have 11 dimensions which may make this impossible due to performance. I basically need a report script to perform a data extract. Data requirements for each dimension would be:
Scenario: Budget
Version: Final
CCCC: Tot_CCCC (Rollup)
SCCC: Tot_SCCC (Rollup)
Charge_Type: Charge_Type_Total (Rollup)
Resource: NU_RESC (Rollup)
SAU_CAU_Facility: Zero level members of "NU_Consolidated"
Account: Zero level members of "TOTCO_FERC"
Activity: Zero level members of "NU_Actv"
Years: Children of "YEARS"
Periods: Jan to Dec only
Report format would suppress the PAGE thus Budget and Final would not appear.
Was also hoping to somehow suppress CCCC, SCCC, Charge_Type and Resource(Not sure if possible).
Thus format would look something like this tab delimited:
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
SAU_CAU_Facility Account Activity Year 100 200 100 100 010 100 200 300 100 100 100 100
Here is what I have so far. I have not been able to get it to return any results even though I have loaded one row of fake data. Does anything jump out at you as to what I'm doing wrong? Appreciate any help you may have as I'm really stuck as it's been years since I have tried this.

Thanks,
SAm

One thing that may help - it looks like you're using both <DIMBOTTOM and <LINK for three of your dimensions.
<DIMBOTTOM "SAU_CAU_Facility"
<DIMBOTTOM "ACCOUNT"
<DIMBOTTOM "ACTIVITY"
You should just need the <LINK and not the <DIMBOTTOM. <DIMBOTTOM's can really kill report script performance.
Whenever I do these, I try to start small, and then open the report script up to more and more members to see what's affecting performance. I'd start with one year, one facility, one activity, one account, etc. Then slowly add in the full member specifications you want.
Hope this helps,

Essbase Report Script

Hi Experts,
I am trying to run a report script which comprises of 5 Link statements (I have 10 dimensions in my cube) and when I run the script through EAS I see there are 5 sessions getting started consecutively after every 5 min's and the script is taking some 35 min's to run but I am not get the output text file at my selected location.
I request you to please reply me with your precious suggestions.
Thanks,
Addy.

No there's no partition connections neither we are using against the target cube.
We are not using any syntax for output file, when we run the script in EAS it prompts with a dialog box wherein we select the output file path and in text format.

Report Script Help

Hello, I am trying to create 2 reports from one script file where the member name needed for one report is the child of the member name of the 2nd report. (See example below) Dim 1 A B Dim 2 X Y Dim 3 CR Tar How do I limit my query to retrieve a CR report limited to YA and a Tar report limited to XB without dbl counting?

Thanks for replying. I am not sure if I explained correctly. I want a report where 2 members from one dimension matches 2 members from another dimension where one is a child of the other, without double counting. I was told that MATCH or Link may work, but I am unfamiliar with those terms. I tried the following, but I am getting an error.{LINK (<IChildren(CCR) AND <IChildren(VL))}

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.

Variable in report script

Is it possible to create create user defined variables in report script?

You can't use an Essbase report script to set a substitution variable.
You can set it in EAS or use MaxL (or Esscmd) to do so.
See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/maxl_variable.htm
MaxL/Esscmd can be used to set a substitution variable and run a report script that references the variable.

Strange character in report script unload file.

I have an Essbase Report script I’m using to create an unload file of my Essbase Data.
Ever time I run the report script and open the file it has this character on the first line of the file ï»¿
, what are these and how do I suppress them>?

Never mind. Foud out that SUPFEED works fine. The question about page break character affecting SAP is still open though.

Report Script Performance Issues

Essbase Nation,
We have a report script that extracts a full 12 months worth of history in 7 minutes. The script that is used to extract the period dimension is as follows:
<Link (<Descendants("Dec YTD") And <Lev("Period",0))
The line above is then changed to pull just one month of data, and now the report script runs for 8 hours.
Please advise as to why the difference in performance.
Thank you.
