Examples of Calc Scripts

Hello,is there any where a site or a documentation on calc script examples?If yes, could some one guide me to this information.Thank you!Bob

There are examples and a good discussion of Calc Script basic in the Database Administrators Guide. In versions 6.0 and higher this is available in electronic form from the Essbase Program Group under Server Documentation.There are also specific courses that concentrate on calculation design and development available from Hyperion Solution and its PartnersCourse descriptions for the Hyperion Solutions Education offerings can be found at http://www.hyperion.com/services/ then select “Education offerings” under “learn more about”.Joseph HoganSenior Essbase Lead Consultant – Hyperion Solutions203.703.3300 x6364

  • OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
    From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
    I have 2 question:
    - Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
    - Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
    And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
    Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
    Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.

    Let me know in case you have found out anything else related to same.
    Thanks,

  • DATAEXPORT - set Dynamic File name in Calc Script

    Hi,
    I have a calc script which exports data from BSO cube to a flat file. Currently I have hard coded file name within the calc script which is
    DATAEXPORT "File" "," "D:/in/CAPXPT_FERC_*FY12*.txt";
    and, for example, I want use the substition varaible to dynamically assign the file name let' say
    DATAEXPORT "File" "," "/u11/oracle/OHDDEVD/in/CAPXPT_FERC *" + &fYear + "*.txt";
    Is there any way to set the export file name dynamically?
    Thanks for your help
    Regards,

    A kind of intriguing thought would be to use the sub var as a way to drive the file name, then grab Robb Salzmann's CDF to dynamically set sub vars on the fly, and then use a RTP to grab that string. I have no idea if this would all tie together, but it would be interesting to try.
    Here's Robb's post: http://codingwithhyperion.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-and-update-substitution.html This is my second in a row post that refers to his CDF -- it is almost like that's my pseudonym except of course I'm too thick to write a CDF.

  • Automate the process of changing the subvariables in Essbase calc script?

    Hi Experts,
    I have two calc scripts called HourlyAgPre & HrlyAgPost and in these calcs I am using Subvariables. Like wise i have 4 regions and there are so many calc scripts. during month end close i have to go and change the subvariables manually. is there any way to change the subvaribles at one time using Maxl script?
    Eg:
    In BD9 My subvariable needs to point to Preclose
    In BD-3 my subvaribles need to poit to Postclose.
    Please suggest me if you come across this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Here is example of setting variables through Maxl and passing parameters into the maxl script Re: Update variables

  • Essbase 9.3 Calc scripts. Pb with dates. How to convert (string = number) ?

    Hello,
    I've a problem with Essbase(Planning?) Scripts on version 9.3. It looks simple but I do not find any (clean) solution :
    On my Essbase database, I have a member called "Reference_Date" on my axis Indicators. It is a date data type, that is to say, it displays a number corresponding to a YYYYMMDD format. For example : 20091029 for October 29th 2009.
    In calc scripts I often need to compare the month included in that "Reference_Date" with the current Member of my Time Axis (I have 12 Months members based on the format M02 for February for example). The final aim is to calculate a number of complete years since that "Reference_Date".
    But theses two elements are not of the same "type" (one is a number value and the other is a "member" in Time Axis). So I'm forced to convert one of this two elements in order to compare it.
    For example I can extract the month value of the "Reference_Date"' and put an "M" before it to have a Time member equivalent or I can convert the member Name M10 to a number (10))
    in both cases I have the same type problem : I don't know how to convert a string into a number nor how to convert a number into a string.
    (For example @CONCATENATE doesn't work with numbers). and that my only remaining problem.
    I didn't find any Essbase Function which do this (conversion number <=>string).
    Is anyone have an Idea ?
    Thanks for your help
    Best regards

    I don't know any way for you to compare your data against your metadata. Not directly. To me it makes little enough sense to try that I'm not surprised the developers didn't provide for it.
    I've converted member names to strings, manipulated the strings (calc script functions are not good at this), and turned them back into member names, but that's really the only use I've had for string manipulation. I don't think an equivalency operator even exists for string data. And I see no way to begin thinking of a member name, once converted to a string, as a number.
    It makes even less sense to me to try thinking of a data value as a string. Even text values in Sys 11 are stored as numbers. Not encoded characters, but just a number to look up somewhere.
    I think you can do what you want though, with something like this...
    IF (@ISMBR("FY08"))
    vYr = 2008;
    ELSEIF (@ISMBR("FY09"))
    vYr = 2009;
    ENDIF;
    IF (@ISMBR("M01"))
    vMth = 1;
    ELSEIF (@ISMBR("M02"))
    vMth = = 2;
    ENDIF;
    "Years_Since_Reference" = ((vYr * 100) + Mth) - ("Reference_Date" / 12);
    Obviously, the math will need some work, coz that doesn't actually work, but the logic above essentially turns your metadata into numbers, which is what you are after.
    Good luck,

  • Using variables in Calc scripts and Business Rules

    I am sure there have been previous discussions about this, but can somebody let me know the benefits of using variables in Calc scripts and BRs?
    Thanks,
    A

    I have never used calc variables and after reading a study guide, which talked about them, I couldn't really understand the benefits.^^^I use variables all the time to make abstract difficult formulas. Below is an example.
    /*     Declare variables     */
    VAR varSalaryCosts ;
    VAR varProdOHLabXXXX ;
    VAR varXXXX ;
    A whole bunch of code here along with very limited FIX statement and then...
    "Salaried Labor"
         varSalaryCosts = "Salary Costs"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "Wage Bonus"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "YYYY Retention Bonus 40%"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "YYYY 60% Ret Bonus Accrual"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" ;
         varProdOHLabXXXX = "Number of Employees"->"ZZZZDepartments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +
                             "Number of Employees"->"Blah Departments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +
                             "Number of Employees"->"Humph Departments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +
                             "Number of Employees"->"TTTT"->"Codes"->"Salaried" ;
         "Salaried Labor" = varSalaryCosts * ("Number of Employees"->"Salaried" / varProdOHLabXXXX) ;
    )The last formula is how the formula was described to me by the business owner. I find it to be much easier to read than something like:
    "Salaried Labor" = ("Salary Costs"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "Wage Bonus"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "YYYY Retention Bonus 40%"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried" -
                             "YYYY 60% Ret Bonus Accrual"->"No Department"->"No Category"->"Salaried") *
                             ("Number of Employees"->"Salaried" /
                             ("Number of Employees"->"ZZZZDepartments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +           
                             "Number of Employees"->"Blah Departments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +
                             "Number of Employees"->"Humph Departments"->"Codes"->"Salaried" +     
                             "Number of Employees"->"TTTT"->"Codes"->"Salaried")) ;I have used ARRAY in a really-cool-but-alas-not-invented-by-me calc script to do currency conversion in Planning better than Planning does currency conversion.

  • Need help in solving complex Calc Script

    Gurus
    I am working on a calc script which involves complex calculations. I got struck at the following. Please help me with your ideas...
    we have 4 dimensions and values for some of their members as follows.
    --------------------------------------------------------Dim3.mem1->Dim4-----------------Dim4.mem1->Dim3
    Dim1.mem1->Dim2.mem1-------------------------------0.6---------------------------------------100
    Dim1.mem1->Dim2.mem2-------------------------------0.6---------------------------------------200

    Dim1.mem2->Dim2.mem2-------------------------------0.4 --------------------------------------600
    Dim1.mem2->Dim2.mem3-------------------------------0.4---------------------------------------700
    Now I want to add only particular values of the second column. For example all the values whose respective value in first column are equal.
    so here it is
    Value1=100+200+300+500(because 0.6 is common and different from 0.4/#MI)
    Value2=400(because #MI is common or different from 0.6/0.4)
    Value3=600+700 (because 0.4 is common and different from 0.6/#MI)
    Like this we have so many members in all the four dimensions.

  • Outline Order, Calc Script Performance, Substitution Variables

    Hi All,
    I am currently looking in to the performance side.
    This is mainly about the calculation script performance.
    There are lot of questions in my mind and as it is said you can get the results only by testing.
    1. Outline order should be from least sparse to most sparse
    (other reason : to accomodate as many sparse members in to calculator cache) correct me if I am wrong
    2. Is Index entry created based on the outline order. For example I have outline order as Scenarios, Products, Markets then does my index entry be like scenario -> Products -> Markets ?
    3. Does this order has to match with the order of members in FIX Statement of calculation script?
    4. I have 3 sparse dimensions. P (150 members), M (8 members), V (20 members).
    I use substitution variables for these three in the calculation script. And these three are the mandotary things in my calculation script. Now when I see the fix statement, these three are the first 3 parameters of the fix statemtn and since I am fixing on a specific member, placing these three members as the first 3 sparse dimensions in the outline, ill it improve performance?
    In one way, I can say that a member from P, M,V becomes my key for the data.
    Theoritically if I think, may be it will...but in practical terms I don't see any of such thing.. Correct me If my thinking is wrong.
    One more thing, I have a calc script with say around 10 FIX statements and this P,M,V is being used in every FIX statemnts. Since my entire calculation will be only on one P, one M, one V. Can I put everything in one FIX at the beginning and exclude it from remaining FIX statememts?
    5. I have a lot of cross dimensional operations in my calc scripts for accounts dimension (500 + ) members.
    Is there a way to reduce these?
    6. My cube statistics..
    Cube size : 80 GB +
    Block Size : 18 KB (Approx)
    Block density : 0.03 . This is what I am more worried about. This really hurts me.
    This is one of the reason why my calculation time is > 7 hours and some times it is horrible when there is huge amount of data (it takes aound 20 + hours) for calculation.
    I would be looking forward for your suggestions.
    It would be really apprecialble if It is Ok to share your contact number so that I can get in touch with you. That could be of great help from your side.

    I have provided some answers below:
    There are lot of questions in my mind and as it is said you can get the results only by testing.
    ----------------------------You are absolutely right here but it helps to understand the underlying principles and best practices as you seem to understand.
    1. Outline order should be from least sparse to most sparse
    (other reason : to accomodate as many sparse members in to calculator cache) correct me if I am wrong
    ----------------------------This is one reason but another is to manage disk I/O during calculations. Especially when performing the intial calculation of a cube, the order of sparse dimensions from smallest to largest will measurably affect your calc times. There is another consideration here though. The smallest to largest (or least to most) sparse dimension argument assumes single threading of the calculations. You can gain improvements in calc time by multi-threading. Essbase will be able to make more effective use of multi-threading if the non-aggregating sparse dimensions are at the end of the outline.
    2. Is Index entry created based on the outline order. For example I have outline order as Scenarios, Products, Markets then does my index entry be like scenario -> Products -> Markets ?
    ----------------------------Index entry or block numbering is indeed based on outline order. However, you do not have to put the members in a cross-dimensional expression in the same order.
    3. Does this order has to match with the order of members in FIX Statement of calculation script?
    ----------------------------No it does not.
    4. I have 3 sparse dimensions. P (150 members), M (8 members), V (20 members).
    I use substitution variables for these three in the calculation script. And these three are the mandotary things in my calculation script. Now when I see the fix statement, these three are the first 3 parameters of the fix statemtn and since I am fixing on a specific member, placing these three members as the first 3 sparse dimensions in the outline, ill it improve performance?
    --------------------------This will not necessarily improve performance in and of itself.
    In one way, I can say that a member from P, M,V becomes my key for the data.
    Theoritically if I think, may be it will...but in practical terms I don't see any of such thing.. Correct me If my thinking is wrong.
    One more thing, I have a calc script with say around 10 FIX statements and this P,M,V is being used in every FIX statemnts. Since my entire calculation will be only on one P, one M, one V. Can I put everything in one FIX at the beginning and exclude it from remaining FIX statememts?
    --------------------------You would be well advised to do this and it would almost certainly improve performance. WARNING: There may be a reason for the multiple fix statements. Each fix statement is one pass on all of the blocks of the cube. If the calculation requires certain operations to happen before others, you may have to live with the multiple fix statements. A common example of this would be calculating totals in one pass and then allocating those totals in another pass. The allocation often cannot properly happen in one pass.
    5. I have a lot of cross dimensional operations in my calc scripts for accounts dimension (500 + ) members.
    Is there a way to reduce these?
    -------------------------Without knowing more about the application, there is no way of knowing. Knowledge is power. You may want to look into taking the Calculate Databases class. It is a two day class that could help you gain a better understanding of the underlying calculation principles of Essbase.
    6. My cube statistics..
    Cube size : 80 GB +
    Block Size : 18 KB (Approx)
    Block density : 0.03 . This is what I am more worried about. This really hurts me.
    This is one of the reason why my calculation time is > 7 hours and some times it is horrible when there is huge amount of data (it takes aound 20 + hours) for calculation.
    ------------------------Your cube size is large and block density is quite low but there are too many other factors to consider to simply say that you should make changes based solely on these parameters. Too often we get focused on block density and ignore other factors. (To use an analogy from current events, this would be like making a decision on which car to buy solely based on gas mileage. You could do that but then how do you fit all four kids into the sub-compact you just bought?)
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the procedure/code in VBA for passing the calc scripts dynamically based on the selection.

    Hello Gurus,
    I want to know what is the procedure/code in VBA for passing the calc scripts dynamically based on the selection.
    For example:
    X=EssVCalculate("Sheetname","Calc_Script name",True)
    In the above code instead of the *"Calc_Script name"* I want a script which is called dynamically and the values are calculated accordingly.
    Thanks in advance
    Saurabh

    Hi Todd,
    This is the situation:
    I have a calc script in Essbase which I can call to perform the calculations on the current sheet that is retrieved. I want calculation for the following formulas:
    x = EssVCalculate("Sheet2", "CalcBC", False)
    CalcBC is my calc script which is present in Essbase
    So instead of passing the above script I want to pass the conditions dynamically in the VBA code . I don't want to mention the script name directly in EssVCalculate option
    For example:
    I have three drop down menus from which I would select three different( zero level )members. It would then retrieve the data for that particular values in the excel sheet and now when I click on Calculate button it should calculate the script dynamically.
    I don't know how calc scripts can be executed dynamically in the VBA code itself.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Using VB API in VBA to edit the Calc Scripts

    Guys,
    Does anyone of you have VBA source code/examples utilizing Essbase API for the following operation.
    I want to copy Calc Script from Server to the client, edit the Script using VBA and copy back the Script to the Server. Any kind of info is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    HYPuser

    I posted some real sample code a while back for a completely different function (member renames).
    Renaming Existing Member Names
    So while you'll have to write the calc modification code yourself (or ask Glenn his rate ;-)), this at least shows you how the initialization / login / termination of the API would work. That's probably the most confusing aspect of using the VB API for the first time anyway.
    All that said, if this is from Excel and the user will already be logged in via the Excel Add-In, I believe that you can make life much easier and grab the hCtx directly without any initialization / login/ termination worries. I probably should have done that myself in the example I gave. See Tim Tow's posts in this thread:
    API
    EDIT: Two things I just noticed - first, the code sample I gave even has an example of polling for ProcState, so that gets you closer than I thought! Second, remembered that the line that reads...
    While ProcState.State ESB_STATE_DONE
    ...should actually have a 'less than / greater than' symbol between ProcState.State and ESB_STATE_DONE. Can't get the forum to display them correctly, even in code tags...

  • How to run a Calc script in ASO application

    Hi,
    I have gone through the Essbase Release 11.1.2 and I tried to implement the Calc scripts in ASO application.
    When I tried to Create a Calc Script using Calc script editor for ASO Application in EAS console it say's "Calc script is not supported in ASO application". When i saved the Calc scripts it appears in Backend but it is not visible in EAS console.
    I tried to call the Calc script using MDX script but it says "Unable to open the file Custom calculation terminated with Essbase error 1241109"
    Can anyone help me how to work on Calc scripts in ASO application?
    Thanks in advance

    I think you might be confusing BSO calc scripts with ASO custom calcs, there is a whole section in the documentation on ASO calcs - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40248_01/epm.1112/essbase_db/aso_custcalc_alloc.html
    There are also examples on the internet if you search spend some time researching.

  • Unable to Declare a Temporary Variable in Calc Script

    We are using Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Administration Services. 9.2.03.0.44
    I am trying to declare a temporary variable in a calculation script.
    We have found several guides and examples in the support documentation that give us a step by step instruction on how to 1.) declare the variable, then 2.) Assign a value.
    Example:
    /* Declare the variable */
    VAR TotalAllocDept;
    /* Baseline Fix */
    FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
    /* Assign a value to the variable */
    TotalAllocDept = ("Alloc_HR"+"Alloc_IT"+"Alloc_FIN");
    ENDFIX
    /* Allocate overhead based on Total Alloc Dept Variable */
    FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
    "Alloc_5xSS" = @ALLOCATE("Alloc_Overhead","Account", TotalAllocDept,, share);
    ENDFIX
    However, when we try to check the syntax, we are given various error messages such as:
    Error parsing FIX STATEMENT "invalid object type" and
    "Invalid member name" and
    Invalid Calc Script syntax.
    Can anyone suggest some techniques that we can try or alternative ways of entering the text to make it possible for us to use temporary variables?

    A variable must be declared within a calc member block and can only exist for the scope of that block.
    This would work (not that you would necessarily want it)"
    /* Allocate overhead based on Total Alloc Dept Variable */
    FIX ("FY10","Jan","BU Version_1", "Actual", "NoProd", "NoCust")
    "Alloc_5xSS"
    TotalAllocDept = ("Alloc_HR""Alloc_IT""Alloc_FIN");
    "Alloc_5xSS" = @ALLOCATE("Alloc_Overhead","Account", TotalAllocDept,, share);
    ENDFIX

  • Is it possible to have a many to many calc script equation?

    Hi All,
    I'm thinking there has got to be an easy way to do this - but I've tried a bunch of different ways, and I've only been getting error messages.
    What I want to do is perform an allocation based on head count for a few dozen accounts. The allocation method will be the same for each account, and I wanted to write this in a single line rather than have dozens of lines, one for each account.
    For Example, the following works correctly for me ( Takes Total indirect salaries loaded to "Region Items" and allocates based on headcount loaded to each child of "Operations")
    FIX("Budget", @CHILDREN("Operations"))
    "Indirect Employee Salaries"
    = "Region Items"->"Indirect Employee Salaries" * "Office Staff - Employees" / "Operations"->"Office Staff - Employees";
    ENDFIX
    Because this allocation will be repeated for each account, I would like to have something similar to this:
    FIX("Budget",@CHILDREN("Operations"))
    @CHILDREN("Indirect")
    = "Region Items"->@CHILDREN("Indirect") * "Office Staff - Employees" / "Operations"->"Office Staff - Employees";
    ENDFIX
    However this change to the command gives me "Calc Script Command is Incomplete" warnings.

    You can do this with a "switch" on the fix etc.
    FIX(@CHILDREN("Indirect") ,@CHILDREN("Operations"))
    "Budget"= "Region Items"->@CURRMBR(Accounts) * "Office Staff - Employees" / "Operations"->"Office Staff - Employees";
    ENDFIX
    You will need to check the performance of this, especially if Budget is sparse - although it would remove create block issues.
    You might also need to enclose the "CurrMbr" section in a SUMRANGE to validate, but it is a starter for you.
    Hope this helps

    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?

    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?
