MaxL Export

I can successfully export data using ESSCMD but get a network timeout error in MaxL. Both are initiated from an NT workstation and both write to the c drive on the workstation.

Try rebooting the server. It happened once for me.

Time Stamp on MAXL Export File

I use MAXL to export data from our Essbase cube. Is there a way to add a time stamp to the filename?

I've never been able to do this directly through MaxL. If someone out there knows a way, please share. The way I do this is by using DOS to rename the file after MaxL has exported it. So assume you have a MaxL script 'test.mxl' with the following code in it: login user password on 'localhost'; export database zTest.PandL all data to data_file 'zTestX.txt'; exit; Then you have your .bat file that calls your MaxL script and in the .bat file you have the following code: essmsh D:\\MaxL\Test\Test.mxl ren D:\Hyperion\Essbase\App\zTestX.txt zTest%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10%.txt ''The first line calls the MaxL script and upon completion runs the second line which renames the file and adds the date stamp to it. Don't ask me how to change the date format, I picked up the rename code from someone else. Although, by playing around with it, You can probably get it to look the way you want. Of course all of this assumes you are using Windows 2000 server. It should work the same in 2003, not sure about NT. You're on your own if it's UNIX, but the same principles should apply, you just need to figure out the code for a Unix command line to do a file rename. Best of luck.

1005000 &1005029 Essbase Error - MaxL Export database

Hi, I'm trying to export data in a MaxL command called by a Perl program (automated batch process) using the following command: export database StgAll.StgAll level0 data in columns to data_file 'H:/Export_folder_server09/StgALL_export_server.txtThe Perl program is called from the server 04 and it export a database on the server 09. The ?H:/Export_folder_server09/? directory is mapped ?network driver? on the server 04. I get the following Error message: Executing [export database StgAll.StgAll level0 data in columns to data_file 'H:/Export_folder_server09/StgALL_export_server.txt']... 1005029 - Parallel export enabled: Number of export threads [1] 1005000 - Ascii Backup: Failed to open [H:/Export_folder_server09/StgALL_export_server.txt]. 9 - Essbase error encountered: [GetProcessState] [1005000] 51 - MaxL execution failedWhat am I doing wrong?Someone can help me ?Thanks in advance, Manon

I'm not certain if thi sis your problem, but I believe it has something to do with the way you are using / marks in your directory path.Take a look at this excerpt from the MaxL tech doc. I hope this helps you.Use of backslashesIgnored unless preceded by another backslash (the escape character). Must use single quotation marks around the token containing the two backslashes.Example: create or replace group 'R\\D';Result: Group R\D is created.Example (Windows): export database sample.basic using report_file 'Essbase\\App\\Sample\\Basic\\asym.rep' to data_file 'c:\\home\\month2.rpt'; Result: The Windows file paths are interpreted correctly as Essbase\App\Sample\Basic\asym.rep and c:\home\month2.rpt.

Maxl export substitution variable

Is there a way to use a substituion variable in the text file name for an export. For example, I want it to export to DataMay.txt or DataJune.txt
export database 'NS11_819'.'GL_11510' using server report_file 'Revenue' to data_file '/app/hyperion/essbase/app/NS11_819/GL_11510/DataSUBVARIABLEHERE.txt' ;

I'll second Sean's comment that there's no clean Maxl-only way to do this.
Having said that, you can certainly use native Maxl variables to sort of get there.
1) Use Maxl to display the value of the substitution variable to a text file: display variable VARIABLE-NAME after you've spooled to a file.
2) Use VBScript/Perl/whatever to read that file and get the value and generate the line that calls the code.
3) Use positional variables to push that value to the export statment.
That #2 bit is the pain. You could use proper Maxl variables but now you're talking about managing the code. With positional (parameters) you only have to programmatically generate the calling line.
That line looked like the following using a Maxl file called "maxltest.msh" to parametrize/positionalize the output file:
c:\>essmsh maxltest.msh '"c://temp//sample.basic.txt"'
NB -- This is on Windows and I wrapped the file name in double quotes and wrapped the double quotes in single quotes. Yikes.

Edited because the new board doesn't like double back slashes and I can't be bothered to figure out what HTML rule I'm breaking. Now with double forward slashes.

MaxL - Export Security File Command

Hi,
Ours is a planning application - Classic - 11.1.2.0 version.
I have a requirement where I need to get all the information regarding security defined on dimensions, data forums etc. The reason we are looking for this is so that we can compare the overlap (if any) of security given to any particular user - who mind end up being in two groups (in shared services) but each group has different access/permissions.
For instance - There is a user who has access to two data forms and say on one form he needs write access to Actuals and on all the other he should just have read access to Actuals. This user is in two groups and in one group he has been given write access to Actuals but in another group he was given read access to Actuals. So, based on this the "Write" permission will be dominant and he would be getting write on both the places which might not be efficient.
So, to avoid such situations I need to know the all security overlaps in a readable format. I did go through the Export Security File command but I am not sure if it would give me all the details I need. I did read the tech ref but couldn't get all the information. Will this command help to achieve my requirement? Are there any other better methods?
Please let me know your ideas. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you John for your prompt response.
I don't know why I didn't think of this when I was thinking about this issue...I mean I knew of this utility but it didn't struck me for some reason...sorry about that but I think this would help me :)
I also have another question - I don't know if I should have posted it as another post but please let me ask here.
Does, the dimension level security applied on Planning data forms also work on reporting?
We have situations where a user needs to work on data forms as well as work on reports. In data forms he should just be able to see part of customers but when working with reports he should be able to see all customers. So, if I have two groups in Shared services - one group for reports and another one for planning and this user being in both the groups how would it work?
Will it overlap at some point? Or will it be two different things since for once group we would provision him as a planner for an application and in the reporting group he would be playing some other role? I am a little confused on this as ultimately it is the same user.
Please let me know.

Issue in MaxL

Hi all,
Iam using MaxL statements for validating and backup of the databases.
The statements are as follows:
MAXL> alter database app1.db1 validate using error_file "E:\hyperion\samp.txt";
MAXL> export database app1.db1 data to data_file "d:exp.txt";
When I execute the above statements, Iam encountering the following error messages:
ERROR - 1042013 - Network error [10054]: Cannot Receive Data.
ERROR - 1042012 - Network error [10054]: Cannot Send Data.
ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1042012.
The version of Essbase Iam using is 9.3.1.1 and my operating system is Windows.
Can anyone help me with what causes the issue and how to prevent it ?
Thanks in advance,

Can i export without double quotes in data files?

How can i export without double quotes in data files using dataexport commands in MaxL?

I don't know of any way to do any formatting in a straight export out of Essbase. BSO lets you choose between a columnar vs. free form (really Essbase) format. That lack of formatting includes removing double quotes.
If you're willing to put up with the limitations (and formatting issues) of an MDX extract to a log file, that approach does not put double quotes around member names. The same is true in Report Scripts although I have a vague recollection that you can put in double quotes if you want it -- obviously you do not.
There are limitations to the above two approaches, the biggest being that they they are not as efficient as a true MaxL export. OTOH, you may want only part of a database to get exported out in which case either approach may be more to your needs.
If in fact you do want to do a full export, there are lots of OS-level ways of removing double quotes. Here's a Windows-based approach:

What would life be without hacks like the above? Probably not worth living.

Help with Report Script export

Can someone please point me in right direction.
Thanks in advance.

>>Cameron did revisit the use of MDX.
^^^I did. And I didn't say it was wrong. Only that there is no blanket rule better for MDX vs DATAEXPORT vs report scripts. I suppose you were saying that.
What I did see was:
1) Large number of output rows tends to favor report scripts
2) Large amounts of data (particularly if in a BSO database and suppressing lots of data) tends to favor MDX.
Which is really the best (read fastest) depends on the extraction requirements in question. Kind of stinks but there it is.

MaxL command to import users and security in eas

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a command that allows Maxl export and then import the list of users native EAS and filters.
In summary, I have a few applicationsversion 9 essbase to 11.1.2.2, via migration wizard. my essbase 11 is in standalone mode with SSO configuration to MSAD external authentication. In version 9 essbase security is mounted on the shared services.
My question is, if I take my file essbase.sec version 9 and the copy in version 11, to get my native users and security filters. Will I lose my config sso?.
Thank you in advance

You could look at the advanced security manager as an alternative solution to extracting the information, it is free and definitely worth a go - http://www.appliedolap.com/free-tools/advanced-security-manager

UNIX Shell Script - Maxl - executing 4 Maxl script at the same time

Hi,
I wrote a UNIX shell script that basically call 4 maxl script to execute at once. But it seem to executing 2 maxl and then it goes to the last script. So, script 4a,4b,4c, & 4d should execute all at the same time. But for some reason at random only two script is being executed. And then it would go to script 5. Anybody have any answer to why it's doing this? Or is it something i'm doing it is incorrect help please?

I just noticed that the problem was due to something *within my application*.
I explain:
i built an application and I want it to be activated by my script.
I have another script running, but this is not a problem as I discovered later...
The problem is indeed that my script activates my application, but even when my application is opened, so it succeded, it stays hanged.
I found that the same thing does not happen with regulare applications, such as Safari or iTunes, so i narrowed down the probglem to my application...
Is there something i should do to it?
I checked the "scriptable" checkbox inside my application plist, but the result is still the same...

The first problem is you are trying to back up an ASO database with in a column format. That is not allowed In your MaxL statment
export database appsRept.WFRept level0 data in columns to data_file .... remove the in columns and it should be fine.
On the second one. Try opening the outline to see if the database has any dimensions and members in it. The message seems to indicate that it does not.

ERROR - 1242021 - (1) Syntax error near ['security_file']

When invoking the command "export security_file to data_file essbase_security_file.txt;" I get the error message "ERROR - 1242021 - (1) Syntax error near \['security_file'\]". I get the same message from EAS when right clicking and exporting from the console. The end game here is that I want to dump the Essbase.sec file into a readable format.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

IT is easier to just go into EAS and select the Essbase server, then right click on Security and select export security file. Enter the file name you want it to go to. In Version 11 it puts the file in Arborpath\Products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\Bin
I also ran the following MaxL export security_file to data_file 'e:\datafiles\security_test.txt';
and it ran fine (It put the file onto the Essbase server in the specified directory)
