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

Essbase error 1033, executing a calc script through HAL

A daily HAL job executes a calc script that returned a 1033 error.
Any ideas? Essbase 7.1.6, HAL 7.3 build 327
"error code - 1033: Essbase Error, <full path with calc script name> at ...."

Sorry, no answer yet.
Our job that failed which runs about 6 times daily successfully ran on the next scheduled run with zero changes. Some sort of hiccup (unexplainable).

How to launch Calc Scripts from Analyzer

Hello all,Just wondering if that there is an easier way to launch calcs from analyzer... what are some of the ideas -using a executable lauch button, hyperlink, via Analyzer API? Any other ideas appreciated. regards, Ray

This message has resolved my query by setting a larger MAX_PROPERTY_VALUE_LENGTH to "30"Thanks.I have come across this problem before. If it is the same problem it is to do with the length of your calc scripts. Obviously Essbase calc scripts are stored as .csc files, if these are too big Analyzer can't read them. This issue is caused by the ADM layer that Analyzer uses. Search on the server for a file called adm.properties .You should find the file in the following directory \\hyperion\analyzer\adm\lib .You may find you have more than one copy on the Server in which case edit them all. In the file find a string called MAX_PROPERTY_VALUE_LENGTH. You will find this is currently to 4 (this respresents 4kb). Increase the value to say 20. Save changes, restart Analyzer Service and hopefully this should have fixed the problem. I would love to know if this works. Paul Armitage. Analitica Ltd. www.analitica.co.uk

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?

"Import Failed" when trying to run a import (Integration) script from FDM

Backgroud about the Issue : My source system for data is Oracle Orion and the Destination is HFM.Trying to import data fom orion to HFM through FDM via ODBC connectivity.
Modified the "Integration Script Example" in fdm_admin guide and with this i am able to import data from the Orion to the FDM staging table "tDataSegX" however i am not abel to see any data in the FDM (Import Module) and thats when i get this error "Import Failed".
Posisble casue according to my knowledge : My Import script only includes code to 1.Connect to ODBC data source 2. copies all the values from the Source table to the staging table.
I am not sure if i am missing some attributes in the script ??!!
can some one help me in checking if my imoport scritp is correct ??!!!
Here is my script
Function Import_int(strLoc, lngCatKey, dblPerKey, strWorkTableName)
Dim objSS 'ADODB.Connection
Dim strOra 'Ora string
Dim rs ' As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rsAppend 'tTB table append rs object
Set cnSS = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Set rsAppend = DW.DataAccess.farsTableAppend("TDATASEG7")
Dim strconn
strconn="Provider=msdaora;Data Source=<<Data Source Name>>;User Id=<<Username>>;Password=<<Password>>;"
cnSS.open strConn
strOra = "Select * "
strOra = strOra & "FROM <<Oracle View>>"
'Get data
rs.Open strOra, cnSS
If rs.bof And rs.eof Then
RES.PlngActionType = 2
RES.PstrActionValue = "No Records to load!"
Exit Function
End If
'Loop through records and append to tTB table in location's DB
If Not rs.bof And Not rs.eof Then
Do While Not rs.eof
rsAppend.AddNew
rsAppend.Fields("PartitionKey") = RES.PlngLocKey
rsAppend.Fields("CatKey") = RES.PlngCatKey
rsAppend.Fields("PeriodKey") = RES.PdtePerKey
rsAppend.Fields("DataView") = "YTD"
rsAppend.Fields("CalcAcctType") = 9
'write conditions to eliminate null
rsAppend.Fields("Amount") = rs.fields("YTD").Value
rsAppend.Fields("Desc1") = test 'rs.fields("txtAcctDes").Value
rsAppend.Fields("Account") = rs.fields("MAIN_AC_CODE").Value
rsAppend.Fields("Entity") = rs.fields("COMPANY_CODE").Value
rs.movenext
Loop
End If
'Records loaded
RES.PlngActionType = 6
RES.PstrActionValue = "ODBC Import successful!"
'Assign Return value
SQLIntegration = True
rs.close
End Function

HI,
I first changed the table name to "strWorkTableName" and tried executing only the script from the Workbench client and got error as bellow
Financial Data Management Workbench
-2147467259 - Data access error.
At Line: 20
OK
For some reason i am not ok with running the code in the workbench client (even for checking the syntax) because for the reason that i am not sure if all the parameter required by the funciton will be passed by donig just "Run script."So even with this error in the Work bench client i proceded to the Workflow module in the web interface and run the import and here is what i have now.

Can "Planners" run calc script from the Planning web?

This is probably a really naive question.
However, can planners run a simple calc script(created in Essbase/AAS) from Workspace/Planning Web? If so what access would they be need to setup in Shared Service?
Or do we have to convert the calc script into a Business Rule and then grant access to the users?

John,
Here are the roles that i assigned my user and he can view/launch the calc scripts from Planning Web without actually being an admin( i think)
Analytic Servers : server access
Business Rules: Administrator
Planning App : Interactive User
APS : Provisioning Manager
I would also like to conver the calc script to a BR as suggested, but not sure why i see no users available in the Business Rules-> administration tab.
As indicated above, the use has been provisioned as a BR admin!
Also, i tried refreshing the app with filters, refreshing the user list from BR->admin(right mouse), de-provision and re-provision the user! Any ideas??

Cannot run calc script from Analyzer

I just did an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.1 and I am unable to run one calc script on a particular database. I can run other calc scripts, just not this one. I get no error message or anything, I can keep clicking the calc button, but it does not run.Strangely, when I click the calc button, Analyzer puts a text file in the directory \\analyzer\appserver\bin with the user name (ex. gcrisci.txt) When you open this file, it is the calc script from Essbase I was attempting to run.I recall running into a problem like this in the past due to the size of the calc script. I thought the solution was to go into Analyzer.properties file and increase the MaxDataCellLimit values. The default is 50000, I've increased it up to 500000 with no resolution. So, I'm thinking maybe this isn't the fix.Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?Thank you.

Calc another calc script from a calc script or business rule

is there a way to call a common calc script segment from other calc scripts or business rules. I do not want to replicate common code in multiple business rules. This common code updates the Essbase database, so it would need to take Essbase members as parameters and be able issue calculation commands. I do not find this possible with custom macros or custom functions. Thanks - Davis ([email protected])

I do not think you can call another calc script from within a calc script. An alternative would be to write a MaxL script that strings multiple calc scripts together.Good luck.

Executing a shell script from a java program

Hi,
I'm facing a problem while executing a shell script from a jsp page.
I'm using exec() function.
It's working fine for single statement scripts.But if the script consists of any database processing and some other processing statements,it's not returning the correct exit status of the process.
Will u please help me in this.
If there is any other ways to execute a shell script from a jsp page other than Runtime.exec().If so let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I think this shud workMaybe - but it is wrong! Why do you create aReader
and then read bytes which are turned into a String
without worrying about whether or not the bytes area
String and without worrying about the character
encoding if the bytes do represent characters and
without worrying about how many bytes wereactually
read.
Also, both you and the OP should read, digest and
follow the advice given in
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-
traps.htmlI dont care if it is wrong. This code works for me.
We are here to solve problems not to find which post
is wrong.It is wrong! You are posting bad advice that is very wrong! It may work for you but it is wrong in general! WRONG WRONG WRONG.
If you have a solution then post it I did post a solution! The reference I gave will explain to you and the OP exactly how it should be done.
rather then
posting rude comments.I was not rude! I was explaining just some of what was wrong!

Hello,
It's hard to help you but what you can do is listening to the outputs of your script, you should read the output stream and error stream and send them to the default console.

Error while executing unix shell script from java program

Hi All,
I am trying to execute unix shell script from a java program using Runtime.execute() method by passing script name and additional arguments.
Code snippet :
Java Class :
try{
     String fileName ="test.ksh";
     String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
     String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
     int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
     sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Test.ksh
export -- application realated paths..
nohup abc.exe 1> test.log 2>&1;
$1
exit.By running the above java class , i am getting exit Value: 139 and log file test.log of 0 bytes.
when i am running the same command (/usr/bin/ksh test.ksh satish) manually, it's calling abc.exe file successfully
and able generate the logs properly.
Pls let us know where exactly i am stuck..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Satish

Hi Sabre,
As per the guidelines provided by the article, i had done below changes..
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader iStreamReader = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
String line = null;
try{
String fileName ="test.ksh";
String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
is = proc.getErrorStream();
iStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
bReader = new BufferedReader(iStreamReader);
System.out.println("<ERROR>");
while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Error is : "+line);
System.out.println("</ERROR>");
int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Now , it's showing something like..
<ERROR>
</ERROR>

Can we execute a Powershell script from the Javascript?

Hi,
I have a certain requirement to add a Custom ribbon button in document library and there was a powershell script to be run for the selected item in the library.
I have struck with executing a Powershell script from the javascript function.
Can anyone please suggest me if this was achievable
Thanks, Swaroop Vuppala

Hi Swaroop,
To execute server side code in a custom ribbon button script, using application page is a common way to do this, besides, you can also use a page dialog, which is similar with application page but display as model dialog, another way is javascript
_dopostback and delegate control, the following article contains detailed information about this, please refer to it for more information:

Look up Runtime.exec()

Example: Executing a shell script from java

Hi. There are many other posts in the forums related to executing a unix script from java, but I wanted to post another example that I thought might be helpful...
The key thing to executing the script is to include the -c switch for the sh command. This tells the sh command that you are passing a string to be interpreted as input. Without this switch, the script does not execute as you'd expect it to. Also, use a string array to pass each part of the sh command.
Here is a working sample class, along with a test script to execute it:
public class TestShellScript {
public static void main(String[] args)
String[] chmod = {"chmod","777","testscript1"};
String[] runscript = {"sh","-c","./testscript1 > jdata.out"};
Runtime rtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
try
rtime.exec(chmod); // Set the authorities for testing
rtime.exec(runscript); // Run the script with redirection
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
rtime = null;
Here is a test script to wrap the java call:
#!/bin/sh
cd /<your script dir>
export -s CLASSPATH=/<your jar dir>/TestShellScript.jar
export -s PATH=/<your script dir>:/usr/bin
java TestShellScript
- Hope this helps.

I don't know exactly but the code written below is working fine try the same with your code .Even with your code instead running the code with
" ./<filename> ",if you execute it with "sh <filename>" command without changing the mode of the file it is executing properly.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ScriptBuilder
public ScriptBuilder()
public void writeScript() throws java.io.IOException
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(new File("test_script"));
writer.write("#! /bin/sh\n");
writer.write("ll>/home/faiyaz/javaprac/checkll");
writer.flush();
writer.close();
Runtime rt= Runtime.getRuntime();
rt.exec("chmod 777 test_script");
rt.exec("./test_script");
} public static void main (String[] args)throws java.io.IOException
ScriptBuilder sb = new ScriptBuilder();
sb.writeScript();
}
