MaxL and Bat

Question

Hi All,
I am new to essbase, I am trying to setup schedule default calculation, but I am a little confusssed about the process, here is what did for testing:
1. Create simple Calc Script under Test.test in EAS: CalAll.csc like this:
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
Calc All;
2. Create MaxL script as MaxLTest.mxl:
Spool on to 'D:\log\Test.log';
Login admin password;
execute calculation CalAll on Test.test;
spool off;
exit;
3. Create MaxL.bat file like this:
/*log in user */
login admin password;
ESSMSH MaxLTest.mxl
EXIT
Does this sounds right? I double click on MaxL.bat and windows going out quickly, also I don't see any Test.log generated.
Thanks

Answer 1

John,
Thanks. Here is the changes I make based on your advice, yes, we are on 11.1.1.3:
1. MaxL script:
Spool on to 'D:\log\FinGL.log';
Login $1 $2 on localhost;
execute calculation CalAll on Test.test;
spool off;
exit;
2. My .bat file:
/*log in user */
login admin password;
ESSMSH CalcFinGL.mxl admin password
3. you mention that I also need to specify the path of my maxl script, so I put my maxl script at D:\Script, then MaxLScript should change to this?
ESSMSH D:\Script\CalcFinGL.mxl admin password
4. I search on essmsh, it return couple of path under my Hyperion folder, which one I should use, for example:
D:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin
D:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin
D:\Hyperion\common\EssbaseRTC\11.1.1.2\bin, etc.
5. My complete .bat should be like this?
D:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin\ESSMSH D:\Script\CalcFinGL.mxl admin password
Thanks
