Looping in Maxl Script - To load multiple files

Hi,
I am using Essbase 11.1.2 on UNIX.
I have maxl script which will load 20 to 30 extraction file. Number is inconsistent. Extraction files will grow each month. Extraction files are with same name with the suffix _1,_2...(2 Gb thing). My previous script was hard coded to load file by file to load up to 50 files. I am trying to remove these hard coded lines, and try to loop the “load” statement. I have tried several ways using while loop in shell to call maxl /msh , but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks

A very similar question was asked recently (but for Windows): Re: Maxl to import datafolders
What have you tried? Maybe someone here can show you what's wrong with your script.
The approach I usually take with this type of problem is to write a script that dynamically builds one single MaxL script with the appropriate number of files, rather than calling MaxL multiple times.
I am generally too ashamed to share my Unix scripts, but at it's most basic, non-error-trapped, probably-inadvisable-and-full-of-holes-for-all-kinds-of-reasons, you could include something like this to build your load script:
ls filename*.txt | awk {'print "import database etc... "$1" ...on error etc;"'} > scriptname.mshSince you can nest MaxL scripts, you can then reference scriptname.msh from a static 'master' script which handles login / spool on / spool off / logout as appropriate.

Unable to load multiple files to Essbase using MaxL and wildcards

I have multiple data files to load:
Files:
Filename.txt
Filename_1.txt
Filename_2.txt
According to the following link, Essbase is able to load multiple files to BSO databases via MaxL by using wildcards:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/frameset.htm?launch.html
However, when I try to run the following I receive the following error:
MaxL:
import database MyApp.DB data from server text data_file "../../MyApp/Filename*.txt" using server rules_file "L_MyRule" on error append to "\\Server\Folder\L_MyRule.err";
Error:
ERROR - 1003027 - Unable to open file [DB01/oracleEPM/user_projects/epmsystem2/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/app/MyApp/DB/../../Filename*.txt].
ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1003027.
I can run the following fine without any problem, but this only deals with the first of several files, and I’d rather not hard-code multiple files since the number might vary in the future:
MaxL:
import database MyApp.DB data from server text data_file "../../MyApp/Filename.txt" using server rules_file "L_MyRule" on error append to "\\Server\Folder\L_MyRule.err";
Any ideas? And how about ASO databases?

Load multiple files using the same data load location

has anybody tried loading multiple files using the same load locations. I need to do this as the data in these multiple files will need to be exported from FDM as a single export file. the problem i am facing is more user related. since these files will be received at different points of time, users will need a way to tell them what has been loaded and what is yet to be loaded.
is it possible to throw a window on the web broser with OK and Cancel buttons from an event script?
any pointers to possible solutions will be helpful

was able to resolve this. the implementation method is as follows
take a back up of previously imported data in the befcleardata event script. then in the beffileimport event append the data to the import file. there are many other intricacies but this is the broad implementation logic. it allowed my users to load multiple files without worrying about append or replace import type choices

Loading multiple files with SQL Loader

Hello.
I will appreciate your recommendation about the way to load multiple files (to multiple tables) using SQL Loader with only one Control file.
file1 to load to Table1, file2 to load to Table2 etc.
How the Control file should look like?
I was looking on Web, but didn't find exactly what I need.
Thanks!

SQL Loader - Load multiple files in UNIX

HI all, I'm looking for a bit of help with using SQL LOADER to load multiple files into one table. I've had a look on the forums but still struggling with this one.
What I want to do is basically upload everything thats in /home/ib. I know you can use INFILE for several files in the control file but I have several hundred files to upload so this isn't practical. Can I pass the directory name as an INFILE parameter?
Any help would be appreciated.

On Unix you shouldn't worry about that. See this example :
[ora102 work db102]$ cat test11.dat
aaaaa,bbbbb
ccccc,ddddd
eeeee,fffff
[ora102 work db102]$ cat test12.dat

echo "load data" > $CTL
for DAT in test1*.dat
do
        echo "INFILE "$DAT >> $CTL
done
echo "replace"                  >> $CTL
echo "INTO TABLE test1"         >> $CTL
echo "fields terminated by ','" >> $CTL
echo "trailing nullcols"        >> $CTL
echo "( a, b )"                 >> $CTL

Sorry for posting a wrong question Loading multiple files!!

Sorry for posting a wrong question Loading multiple files!!
As per my understanding
Sorry for posting a wrong question Loading multiple files!!
As per my understanding only a standard Dat file can be compared with one single dat file.Because Eacg dat file will be containing its own values. So multiple files cannot be compared.
Am assuming dat files containing time(s) and acceleration values(g). G value for each file differs.
Thanku!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Rash.patel,
I'm still not sure I follow you. When you say "Dat" file, do you mean the DIAdem 8.x standard file with the *.dat header and usuall a *.r64 binary file or two that it references, or do you mean some other specific data file with the extension *.dat or do you just mean a generic data file?
DIAdem can certainly load multiple files into the Data Portal at the same time, so you must be referring to either a limitation of the "*.Dat" file you're talking about or correcting yourself that all the data you want to compare turns out to be in one "Dat" file.

Loading multiple files into a target table parallely

Hi
We are building an interface to load from flat files to an Oracle table. The input can be more than one files all of th same format. I have created a variable for the flat file data store. I have created 2 packages
In package 1
I have put odi file wait to trigger whenever files come into the directory . The list of files is written to a metadata table table. A procedure is triggered which picks a record from the metadata table and calls the scenario for calls package 2 by passing the selected record as parameter.
In package 2
The variable value is set to the parameter passed from package 1 procedure
The interface runs to load the flat file = to the variable value into the target table
Now if the directory has more than one flat file , the procedure in package 1 calls the package 2 scenario more than one times. This causes sequential load from each flat file to the target table. Is there a way wherein the multiple flat files can be loaded in parallel to the same target table? At this point ,I am not sure if this is possible as there is only one interface and one variable for the source file

As per your requirement , your process seems to be always continues like a loop[ reason being as you have mentiond - I dont want to wait for all files to come in. As soon as a file comes in the file has to be loaded. ] .
You can solve the issue of file capture using OdiFileWait to let you know when the files have arrived.
Tell me this what do you plan to when the File loading is complete, will that be in the same folder and when new files come will that update with the same name or different name , becuase irresptive of same file or different if the files are present in the same folder after loading into target , then we might do repetitive loading of files. Please tell me how do you plan to handle this.
When you have plan to use LKM file to sql , what is the average number of source records coming into each sample files. ?
Just to add to above question , what is the average numner of parallel loads you are expecting and what is the time interval between each paralled loading you are expecting.

Reader XI: how to load multiple files so that I can show them in one instance of full screen mode?

It is possible to show a pdf file in full screen mode in acrobat reader XI (windows).

can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks in advance!

How to use BAPIs for Infopackage execution : loading multiple files

Hello
I have been told that BAPIs can be used to load multiple csv files at once for which some BAPIs exists (BAPI_IPAK_CREATE_FROM_REF , BAPI_IPAK_CREATE , etc)
I have users who will be dropping their standard files in a directory (this should be a local one or server one ?) according to one of 3 types of formats defined.
As they wont be trigering the IP but instead plan to use a Process chain need a way to collect all files and trigger a IP that can process them all
Can somebody lead me into using the appropriate ones in the right way?
thanks

First if you are using process chain then the files should be placed in Application Server only and process chain can not work with IPs which are using Local Files.
Instead of BAPI in the infopackage there is a feature to select the file using routines. May be you can pick the necessary file in the routine itself.
In the extraction tab you can find this option.

Help with AS3, loading multiple files into a movieclip in specific order in scrollbar

Hello! I am in need of some advice. We are trying to build a site with these features:
Our site will be built in Actionscript 3.
1. A navigation menu that, when a button is clicked, will scroll the site quickly to a specific Y position using swfaddress.
2. The entire site is controlled by a flash scroll bar, which will be scrolling a single movieclip.
    2A. The movieclip will load content corresponding to the navigation categories, all which is organized into zipped files (using this to extract the contents of each section, example: about.zip for the about         section of the site)
    2B. The movieclip will load multiple zipped files one by one that correspond to the navigation, in order, making the site appear to be very tall.
**What we are in need of is understanding how to load multiple zipped files into a movie clip, in a specific order, and having them scroll between one another through the navigation. The separate navigation categories can be in movieclips instead of zipped files if that is easier.
Here is a reference of something that works like this: http://swfc-shanghai.com/#/about/

Hello kglad! I have set aside the idea of using zipped files, and am now just using multiple external swfs that I'd like to load into the movieclip in a specific order. Any thoughts?
I'm new to AS3, and I'm attempting to create a scrolling movieclip that will load multiple external files, in order, into that movieclip. I'm using XML as well. At this point, nothing is loading into my movieclip (contentMain) and it's a bit frustrating! Thank you for your help!

Failed to load multiple files using theMgr.createLocalFileInputStream

Hi
I am using 2.3.8 and having trouble with putting multiple files to the container using XmlInputStream.
I have hundreds of documents in 'output' folder from my project root, and I was able to load them by using other signature - reading each line from each file via BufferedReader.
However, if I switch to XmlInputStream, the first putDocument() is successful but I get an error an XmlException at the second iteration.
container = theMgr.createContainer(theContainer, config);
XmlUpdateContext updateContext = theMgr.createUpdateContext();
Transaction dbtxn = environment.beginTransaction(null, null);
txn = theMgr.createTransaction(dbtxn);
Iterator filesIterator = files2add.iterator();
while (filesIterator.hasNext()) {
File file = (File) filesIterator.next();
String docName = fileNameToDocName(file);
XmlInputStream theStream = theMgr.createLocalFileInputStream(file.getName());
container.putDocument(docName,
theStream,
updateContext,
null);

     at com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlContainer.putDocument(XmlContainer.java:77)
     at com.expd.arch.persistence.BerkeleyTestCase.loadXmlFilesViaStream(BerkeleyTestCase.java:85)
The second document failing looks like this - nothing wrong
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<consol version="0">
<import-file-number>21345</import-file-number>
<ownership-location>LAX</ownership-location>
<id>0</id>
</consol>
Can someone tell what's wrong in my code?

Hello,
The error is indicating something wrong with the file name or location, not the content. Try verifying that the file name passed to createLocalFileInputStream() is in good shape and refers to a regular file with permission to read. If that looks OK, there's a small chance you need to explicitly delete the XmlInputStream between calls. That should not be necessary, because the putDocument() call should consume it, but it does not hurt.

George

Script to load multiple linked smart objects to stack

Hi
we have a workflow where we work with exr images, and load about 15 of them at a time into a stack, then from there convert them into smart objects.
As the linked smart objects is out this means we can replace a folder full of images and update them which would save opening up the psd and having to replace conent on all smart objects.
but can't seem to find a way to load multiple smart linked objects in with out having to do 1 by 1.
Is there a simple script to do this?
Thanks

I had asked Adobe about a modified script to do this, but at this time, they didn't seem interested in developing it. Perhaps if more people ask for it they would add this feature, which would be extremely handy. Don't know if anyone has come up with their own script for this yet, but I'm sure someone will.
