ESSCMD error

Hi,
I am trying to run Esscmd script from with a perl-cgi script as follows
system ("E:\\Hyperion\\essbase\\bin\\esscmd.exe", "E1_test.cmd")
Or
system ("esscmd.exe", "E1_test.cmd")
Both give the following error:
"Essbase Command Mode Interface - Release 9.3.1 (ESB9.3.1.0.0B181) Copyright (c) 1991, 2007, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. U.S. Patent Number 5,359,724 U.S. Patent Number 6,317,750 Failed in GCInit(). Return code [10] ARBORPATH variable isn't set, using default value You should always set ARBORPATH variable Using ARBORPATH [\ARBOR\] ARBORPATH dump: \(5c) A(41) R(52) B(42) O(4f) R(52) \(5c) Path to locale files passed to GCInit() was [\ARBOR\\locale] ESSLANG variable isn't set Could not find the locale files at specified location".
Esscmd command runs fine from windows command promt. Env. ARBORPATH is set to "E:\Hyperion\Essbase" and PATH is set to "E:\HYperion\essbase\bin".
Esscmd.exe is present in "E:\Hyperion\Essbase\bin" and "E:\Hyperion\AnalyticAdministrationServices\server\bin".
I understand that perl-cgi script is unable to locate esscmd because it looks in it's default cgi-bin folder somewhere in C:\Program files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin.
Will the problem be solved if I set ARBORPATH to "E:\HYperion\essbase\bin" along with "E:\Hyperion\Essbase". Will this have any other implications?
IS there any other way I can get rid of this issue.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!!

i thnk that after you login, you need to select the application and database; this is on a separate command line, not together with the login; check syntax? rgds

Essmsh and esscmd error in 11.1.2.2

After epm11.1.2.2 installation and configuration done, my eas, shared service and workspace are working fine. I am able to retrive my essbase outline from excel addin as well. However, I get error when I am trying run essmsh in command prompt to invoke my MaxL script.

Any idea of what I can do to make my MaxL script works?
Thank you very much.

I am not sure whether startMaxL.bat still can be used in this situation.^^^Why would you think that essmsh.exe versus startmaxl.cmd would behave substantially (or even at all) differently? It isn't supposed to. StartMaxL.cmd has a bunch of pathing information -- that's what it's there for so you don't have to modify the path as per many of the above comments. Someone (so, like everyone) more infrastructurally (I just invented that word) proficient than I can likely explain why it has to be so. What I do know is that I use startmaxl.cmd in place of essmsh.exe and it seems to work. I've done this running MaxL code out of ODI 11.1.1.5 and it works like a champ, just like essmsh.exe did in ODI 10.1.3.6.
Do you know that you cannot use startmaxl.cmd from within a VB Script, uh, script?

9.3.1 esscmd esslang error

Hello,
We have been running a report script on a PC. It worked great until a new user was given the PC. Then we started getting the following output in the esscmd file:
Essbase Command Mode Interface - Release 9.3.1 (ESB9.3.1.3.1B002)
Copyright (c) 1991, 2007, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
U.S. Patent Number 5,359,724
U.S. Patent Number 6,317,750
ESSLANG environment variable not set
Failed getting locale. Please set proper ESSLANG environment.
The ESSLANG is set correctly to English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary, and all other essbase related environment variables appear correct.
So first I thought, the previous user had local admin, and the new user does not, so maybe she needs local admin. But that did not resolve the problem.
We have traced the problem to the esscmd, which gives us the error when run at the command line. So I re-installed the Administration Services. We still get the error.
Can anyone advise us on why esscmd cannot read the esslang variable?

Check you environmental variables related to hyperion
Go to control panel->system->system properties->advance->environmental variables. or right clik on my computer >advanced>->environmental variables
You should have something like this C:\Hyperion............... in your classpath variable.
Also do check your Essbase installation logs

Embarrassing ESSCMD question (re: error logs)

Hi all you kind folks,This is one that is probably incredibly obvious, but I just can't find the answer. I use various ESSCMD scripts to load oodles of data into Essbase cubes. The data files are very large. My scripts are set up basically like this (simplified):OUTPUT 1 "dataload.log";IMPORT 3 "datafile1" 4 "Y" 3 "loadrules.rul" "N" "dataload.log";IMPORT 3 "datafile2" 4 "Y" 3 "loadrules.rul" "N" "dataload.log";...and so on. The problem is that after each data file loads to the cube, the error messages in 'dataload.log' are overwritten by the next data file's errors.When the script is finished, only the errors for the last data file are in theerror log. I need to be able to capture all the errors, for all the data files.My question: is there an Essbase setting somewhere that would let mespecify that the errors for successive data file loads be appended to theerror log, instead of overwriting it each time? Or do I just have to send theerrors for each individual data file to a separate log file? Thanks very much! gregp.s. I jacked up the DATAERRORLIMIT setting to 100 million, thinking thatthis was the problem - no luck.

I think you made a confusion between the general log of your script (OUTPUT...) and the error log of each loading (for each loading line).As the error log is erased each time, I am affraid that you should mention a different error file for each loading.At the end, if you want, you can concatenate these files.Hope this helps.Denis ZubaTHESYS [email protected]://www.Thesys-Solutions.comT?l.: +41 21 653 56 12Mobile: +41 79 688 80 12

ESSCMD in Perl Script - Error handling

Does anyone use Perl scripts to run Esscmd commands? I'm trying to incorporate error handling and I can't seem to get Perl to recognize and error that happened when the Esscmd statement runs. A sample would be much appreciated. The fact that I'm not too familiar with Perl doesn't help! Thanks much.

Sorted.
Had to change

Solution would be easy ...like if the Essbase Agent is stopped using the services.msc (services panal)on Windows while a process is currently running, or if there has been an abnormal termination of the Essbase Agent, orphaned ESSSVR processes can be left. Shuting down the Essbase server using ESSCMD or MaxL then Check Task Manager confirm the ESSBASE.exe process later by this ESSSVR.exe processes should end if still NO then Do an "End Process" on any ESSSVR.exe process that is still running. Start the Essbase service and start the application.
ESSSVR.exe is process which keep application Alive (bad thing is if u have many applications running similarlly u have same numbe of ESSSVr .exe will be running in task master ..but u cant find out which one belongs to which application :( )
Reasons
looking at your error i can say , First of all you need to know what is Lock in EAS ? and what locks exist
(right-click on Essbase Servername, EDIT->LOCK and EDIT->LOCKED OBJECTS, and if your database/outline appears in there, unlock it.)
Check any antivirus- and backup software that may be scanning / running on your Essbase folders as that can lock the files and any ESSSVR process stays when the Essbase Agent is stopped
More over another chance of getting error is when you have you page and index files in different location and rest otl, rep.csc script in another drive .. usually while taking back up in OTL,csc drive u do get created index file and page file even u have page and index file in diffrent drive so doe to this u get this error unable to load database
Hope this give u some idea

Loading Errors-Essbase

Hi all,
Please help me with this..
I got the following errors while load is running in essbase, I have seen this in log files..
All other cubes loaded successfully, except 1 cube.
ERROR 1054004 - Application is not loaded
ERROR - 1002097 - Unable to load database
The Oracle website shows
Possible solution for 1st error is Make sure that you created the filters correctly.
2nd error is not mentioned there.
Please help me solving this issue.
Cheers
Prash

Hi,
First of all can you start this database from say EAS, does it say it cannot start?
It might be a hung esssvr.exe process, stop all the databases and if you still see an esssvr.exe process running you may need to end that process unless you can stop it with maxl or esscmd.
If you are unsure how to do it then it might be easier to give the box a reboot.
Cheers

Error Message after data load (error is "1130610")

We load data using a data load rule. The data seems to load fine except we get the error message "ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1130610" on last line below? Any thoughts? Is there a guide somewhere that explains in details all the various error codes and what they refer to? We're using Essbase 6.5.1. Thanks!======================================= OK/INFO - 1003037 - Data Load Updated [364875] cells. OK/INFO - 1003024 - Data Load Elapsed Time : [428.323] seconds. ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1130610.=======================================

The explanation of error 1130610 is the following:Possible Problems - Essbase cannot open a file. Possible Solutions - If you are using an error file, make sure that the error file is being created in a directory that already exists. Make sure you are using the ESSCMD IMPORT command correctly. Put all files the ESSCMD script needs in the $ARBORPATH\APP\applicationName\databaseName directory. Run the ESSCMD script from the $ARBORPATH\APP\applicationName\databaseName directory. Check the ESSCMD script for invalid paths. Make sure every folder that the script is pointing to exists. If you are using an error file, make sure that the error file is being created in a directory that already exists.

Error while opening data form

When I am trying to open forms I am getting the following error.
"Planning is Unable to obtain a connection to Hyperion Essbase. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator"
My case is a bit different from the other threads on the similar topic in the forum.
I am able to login using ESSCMD.
Can anyone suggest what should I do next?

Thank you for your reply.
I installed Essbase and Planning recently. I am using version System9.
I created only one application.
I checked Datasource connections, the Essbase username and password are correct.

Data Load error in Essbase

Hello all-
I extracted some data on flat file from my application in production using report script and i am trying to push the data in another essbase cube using rule file and it comes up with following error:
Reading Rule SQL Information For Database [Database name]
Reading Rules From Rule Object For Database [Database name]
Parallel dataload enabled: [1] block prepare threads, [1] block write threads.
Loading Unicode-encoded data to non-Unicode mode application is not supported
Unexpected Essbase error 1003048
I have previously pushed the level 0 data export many times and this time i am trying to push it via rule file and it come up with this error. How can i look if my orginal application is a unicode application or not??? The rule file that i am using is also from the source application .. I tried loading the data in the same source application but different database and it came up up with same error... Anybody have come across this error before?
Please advise!

*Error “Loading Unicode Encoded Data to Non Unicode Mode Application is not Supported” When Importing An Export File. [ID 764447.1]*
Symptoms
When doing an export with a Report Script the export file is being saved as an UTF-8 document.
Subsequently when importing the export file back into the database the following error occurs:
“Loading Unicode encoded data to Non Unicode mode application is not supported”.
The file has to be saved as an ANSI file for the import to work.
Cause
When exporting data from the EAS console, the export file is created as UTF-8 encoded.
As such Essbase cannot read this file when importing it back in.
This is Bug 6763776 and has been fixed in version 11.1.1.
Solution
This issue has been fixed in version 11.1.1.
If you are unable to upgrade at this time then the suggested workaround is to use MaxL or Esscmd to run the report script, as running it in this manner will save the file in non-unicode mode and thus allow you to load it back in without errors.
Cheers

MAXL error logging

Hi Guys,
I have a script to import a number of dimensions, this was previously done with an Esscmd script but is now in a MAXL script. Is it possible to write to an error log for each dimensionn I dont seem to be able to get the syntax correct;
import database Appname.DBname dimensions
connect as 'user' identified by 'password' using server rules_file 'Products' preserve all data on error append to '\\\server\\share\Products.err',
connect as 'user' identified by 'password' using server rules_file 'Customer' preserve all data on error append to '\\\server\\share\product.err',
and so on, this will error at the first comma at the end of line 3, if I replace the comma with semi colon the first statement is executed ok but not the second.
All help appreciated
Ed

What happened is that you used the error file after each transaction, you should add the error file after your last transaction or build. Or if you want to have separate error files you have to have separate statements for each dimension build that starts with 'importdatabase Appname.DBname dimensions'.
here's a sample of a single statement:
import database sample.basic dimensions
from server text data_file 'genref' using server rules_file 'genref' suppress verification,
from server text data_file 'level' using server rules_file 'level' suppress verification,
from server text data_file 'time' using server rules_file 'time'
preserve input data on error append to 'C:\Hyperion\EAS\eas\client\dataload.err';

Error in data load

hi all,
iam using ESSCMD Scripting IMPORT statement to load the data into my database i got an error saying
localhost/demo/demo/essbase/Error(1090010)
Error in File
[datafile.txt] Which is a [Unable To Determine] Spreadsheet
if any one faced it prior please help me out
thanks in advance

Hi,
There may some problems like-
1) Is the data source already open? The data source will already be open if a user is editing the data source. Analytic Services can load only data sources that are not locked by another user or application.
2) Is the data source name and the path name correct?
Some time, you have data source file on desktop (d:\documents and settings\username\desktop\datafile.txt), It creates the problem due to space. Try to put the data source in any drive (like C:\datafile.txt)
3) Are you giving the right syntax in IMPORT command. i.e. giving the appropriate path corresponding to numeric parameter( 1,2,3,4).
Hope it will help you..
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit

Converting EssCmd to mxl - INCBUILDDIM

Hi,
We've started to look into converting our esscmd process to mxl using cmd2mxl. The first issue we've run into is that the IncBuildDim command lines failed to be converted. Below is a copy of one of our dim update processes in esscmd:
Login "localhost" "admin" "password" ;
Select "0db1" "db1";
BeginIncBuildDim;
IncBuildDim 2 "cst1" 3 "E:\1data\cst1.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\cst1.err" 2 N;
IncBuildDim 2 "cst2" 3 "E:\1data\cst2.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\cst2.err" 2 N;
IncBuildDim 2 "cstar3" 3 "E:\1data\cstar3.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\cstar3.err" 2 N;
IncBuildDim 2 "parts" 3 "E:\1data\parts.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\parts.err" 2 N;
IncBuildDim 2 "blcrdpt" 3 "E:\1data\eblcrdpt.txt" 4 "E:\essbase\logs\0db1\blcrdpt.err" 2 Y;
EndIncBuildDim 1;
Exit ;
After running the conversion command, the log file showed that it could not parse the IncBuildDim statement lines.
We've checked with tech support and the feedback is that there is no corresponding mxl command for IncBuildDim. Our questions are:
1) Is the statement from tech support true?
2) If that's the case, how to modify the above process in esscmd so that it'll get converted to mxl?
Thanks for all the help.

I'm not sure why your incremental dim builds are not converting,. I've not had a problem with it, but if you want to create it manually here are some samples from tech reference how to do it
For Data File Sources:
import database sample.basic dimensions
from server text data_file 'genref' using server rules_file 'genref' suppress verification,
from server text data_file 'level' using server rules_file 'level' suppress verification,
from server text data_file 'time' using server rules_file 'time'
preserve input data on error append to 'C:\Hyperion\EAS\eas\client\dataload.err';
For SQL Sources:
import database sample.basic dimensions
connect as 'usrname1' identified by 'password1' using server rules_file 'genref',
connect as 'usrname2' identified by 'password2' using server rules_file 'level',
connect as 'usrname3' identified by 'password3' using server rules_file 'time'
on error append to 'C:\Hyperion\EAS\eas\client\dataload.err';
For Data and SQL Sources:

MAXL Errors in a Working Script

Hi All,Making the transistion to MAXL from ESSCMD under Essbase 6.2. I have a script that successfully builds two of my dimensions using the SQL interface from Oracle. What's strange is, even though the script works, mid-way through MAXL log file, the following error appears:9 - Essbase error encountered: [BuildDimFile:'test'] [1030001].Then at the end of the file, it states:51 - MaxL execution failed.Anyone have any idea why MAXL is reporting failure, when the script is actually working?

Is that this error?:##1003001 Duplicate Members From Same Dimension On Data Record, [%s] Records CompletedIf so, could it be that this error is not fatal and that maxl just doesn't know the difference between a fatal and non-fatal error?-z
