Maxl Import Data Error

I am getting the following error when i try to do import of Data into Database using MAXL.Can you please let me know what i am doing wrong.I am trying to incorporate this into a script.
MAXL> import database 'HQFPA'.'HQFPA' data from local text data_file 'E:\\Hyperion\\AnalyticServices\\app\\HQFPA_Level0.txt';
ERROR - 1242020 - (1) Syntax error near end of statement.
importing Databases for HQFPA.HQSLP
MAXL> import database 'HQFPA'.'HQSLP' data from local text data_file 'E:\\Hyperion\\AnalyticServices\\app\\HQSLP_Level0.txt';
ERROR - 1242020 - (1) Syntax error near end of statement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandra

Chandra,
There's nothing that I can see wrong with your syntax. For giggles, I wrote an import statement against sample basic on my laptop (no load rule, just like yours) and stuck it into a three line MaxL script (login, import, exit):
import database 'sample'.'basic' data from local data_file 'c:\\hyperion\\essbase\\app\\sample\\basic\\calcdat.txt' on error abort ;
It works.
BTW, this also works:
import database sample.basic data from local data_file 'c:\hyperion\essbase\app\sample\basic\calcdat.txt' on error abort ;
Isn't MaxL neat? :)
Are you sure that your pathing is correct?

BTW, that first import statement has a double backslash between basic and calcdat but it doesn't show up after it's posted yet it is there when I edited it. It must be something to do with the way it gets wrapped in my browser.

This also works (added text property to data_file):
import database sample.basic data from local text data_file 'c:\hyperion\essbase\app\sample\basic\calcdat.txt' on error abort ;

MAXL Import data statement error

Can someone assist me in the maxl import data statement.
In the import data statement "import database App.DB data from data_file "\\servername\\folder1\\folder1\\data.txt";
The error I get is trying to specify the syntax for the path of the server. Does someone have an example of the import statement syntax that is referencing the data file from a server?
Thanks

Have you tried something like :-
import database App.Db data from text data_file "\\\\servername\\sharename\\directory\\datafile.txt" using server rules_file "dataload" on error write to "dataerrors.err";
Cheers

Maxl import on error write to error

I created a Maxl import data script to load data using SQL. The execution works when the on error is set to abort, however, when I set the on error to write or append I receive a syntax error message.
I set the path in script editor as on error write to 'c:\\hyperion\dataload.err' but it appears in the MaxL statement window as on error write to $outfile_sree1.
Does anyone know what might cause this error?

below is the Maxl script I use to import data into one of our databases. I do not use a double backslash in the file path.
Good Luck,

Importing data error: SIGNEDDATA conversion error

The complete description is:
The number of failing rows exceeds the maximum specified. (Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Data Pump (8004202c): TransformCopy 'DTSTransformation__13' conversion error: General conversion failure on column pair 1 (source column 'SIGNEDDATA' (DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'SIGNEDDATA' (DBTYPE_NUMERIC)).)
We are trying to convert a value that come with miles separators, use the character "." (point) as separator and "," (comma) as decimal separator, we use a vb function (replace) to change the points for null string, but it doesn't work. Do you have any suggestion to solve this?
We are using BPC 7.0 MS SP3.
Thanks in advance,
Mariana Rodriguez.

Hi Mariana,
I've had the same kind of problem, which gave me the
General conversion failure on column pair 1 (source column 'SIGNEDDATA' (DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'SIGNEDDATA' (DBTYPE_NUMERIC)).)
errror message
My issue was resolved by changing the CREDITNEGATIVE=NO option to CREDITNEGATIVE=YES, because BPC probably converted negative values as 'string' values in stead of 'numeric' when importing SAP FI data with the minus sign '-' at the end (100-) instead of SQL signeddata (-100)
But I have to be carefull, my Account Dimension setup is as follows:
Balance Sheet Asset => AccType=AST
Balance Sheet Liabilities => AccType=LEQ
Profit and Loss Revenues => AccType =INC
Profit and Loss Expenses => AccType=INC
My flat file seperator is a comma (,) and decimalpoint is a point (.)
We are using BPC 7.5 MS SP07 Patch 02 and I'm not using any VBA to convert the amount.
Maybe it can help?

ImPort Data -Error

HI,
Getting below error when i try to import transaction data(Data manager package). I am getting same error even when i try to send data using Input schedules. Any idea whats triggering below error.Thank you in advance
     Application     :     SalesR
     Status          :     Failed

          - Error Message -
Cannot perform write (NOT_TRANSACTIONAL)
          - Rejected record list -
Error converting records: The root element is missing.

This is very strange. If you cube is in Load (not Planning) mode than each request should turn Green or Red upon completion. If somebody changed mode from Planning to Load than last request should turn from Yellow to Green.
Is that APO... request the top request in your cube? Can you please check one setting of that cube? If you go to change mode of that cube and open Environment menu you'll see InfoProvider Properties, select Display and than select Roll Up tab. Can you tell if there is a check mark on 'Set Quality Status to OK automatically'? This property must be checked for BPC to function properly.
What Nilajan suggested will most probably help you this time, but you have to find out who's changing your cube to prevent this from happening in the future.

Power Query import data error

Hi all,
As Power Query does not support ODBC I tried direct connect to DB via menu
From Database/From MySQL Database.
I passed authorization and my query was being running.
But after all records were downloaded I just got error
'SELECT command denied to user '****'@'x.x.x.x' for table 'bogus_table' and
as result PQ query was failed.
What's interesting is that my original query was 'SELECT id FROM b_user'.
I do NOT query any 'bogus_table'.
What does all that mean?
-- Paul

This appears to be a bug in the MySQL ADO.NET driver. Under some circumstances, when you close the DbDataReader, the MySQL driver will attempt to run the query “SELECT * FROM bogus_table LIMIT 0”. It attempts to trap the error by checking for error number
1146 (table not found), but in this case it’s getting a different exception – probably error number 1142 (select permission denied).
You should
1) Report the bug to MySQL.
2) Delete the table named bogus_table, if it’s not actually needed.
3) Consider renaming the table named bogus_table if it is needed, or granting select permission to all users.
We're sorry you had to run into this, but even if we could mitigate this MySQL bug in Power Query code, it would take nearly two months for you to get the updated version. Fixing the local data is likely the best approach.

Import Data Maxl Linux path specification

Hi,
Import data 'ap'.'db' data from data_file production://Oracle//Middleware//user_projects//epmsystem//EssbaseServer//essbaseserver1//app//filename.txt on error write to 'err.log';
above statement errors out " syntax error at 'production'
How does maxl recognize linux production machine path?
Thanks.

Before running the maxl, did you check whether you can get to the file using the path that you specified?
You can mount that shared drive to a local drive and then access the file as local, or create a soft link and do that same.

MAXL Import Database (and export data?)

I have an import database MAXL command that is working great (sql account and password substituted). The rule file has a SQL connection to our ERP.
MAXL> import database PLANNING.DetView data connect as sql_account identified by "Password" using rules_file "'\\\oceanus-d13\\Oracle\\Middleware\\user_projects\\epmsystem3\\EssbaseServer\\essbaseserver1\\app\\PLANNING\\DetView\\NLIncur.rul'" on error write to "'G:\\DB_Process\\DetView_Process\\errors\\DetView_NLIncur_data_load.mxl.err'";
We are going to run this on a nightly basis and our requirement is to have a historical record of what was "pulled" from our ERP (even if it didn't make it in to Hyperion).
Here are the options that I've thought of:
Have a separate SSIS package use the same SQL to dump the data out of the ERP database into a flat file. The downside to this is that I'm using subvars from Essbase that don't exist in SQL. So I'd have to write the SQL in a different way potentially causing discrepancies.
A separate Data Export of what was loaded. The downside here is that it doesn't have the errors that never made it in.
I can't find another option in the import database command to spool the output of the SQL to a file.
Does anybody have thoughts on how to do this or are there other ways to achieve what I'm trying to do?
Thanks-
Cameron McClurg

The SQL run via the load rule understands my subvars. The load rule SQL looks like this:
select...
WHERE
AND (('1' = '&IncSpanYr' --IF THE PERIODS SPAN YEARS
AND (('12' = '&CurMoNm' --IN JUNE LOOK INTO NEXT YEAR PERIOD 1
AND ((A.FISCAL_YEAR = '&CurYrNm' AND A.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD IN ('&PriMoNm', '&CurMoNm'))
This turns into:
WHERE
AND (('1' = '1' --IF THE PERIODS SPAN YEARS
AND (('12' = '12' --IN JUNE LOOK INTO NEXT YEAR PERIOD 1
AND ((A.FISCAL_YEAR = '2014' AND A.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD IN ('2', '3'))
My issue is getting a dump of all that data that the SQL is pulling. I don't see a way to do that in the import database command. A separate job on the SQL side (like SSIS) could pull the data, but can't access the subvars easily. Does that make sense? Or did I misunderstand your suggestion?
Thanks-
Cameron

Marco

Hi Marco,
See note [https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1328907].
This is issue is related to the Replace and Clear option and not having Work Status set up correctly.
When using the option 'Replace & Clear' with Import packages, the WorkStatus Setting should be not only enabled but also 3 dimensions types 'C' (i.e. Category), 'E' (i.e. Entity) and 'T' (i.e. Time) should be set by 'Yes' or 'Owner'.
Thanks,
John

Error while importing data from 8i to 9i

Hello !
I have installed 9i and now want to import data from previous database 8i which contains GB's of data.
I have exported through transporatble tablespaces but while importing to 9i i receive the following error of national character set .
Import done in WE8MSWIN1252 character set and WE8ISO8859P1 NCHAR character set
import server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion)
export client uses US7ASCII character set (possible charset conversion)
export server uses US7ASCII NCHAR character set (possible ncharset conversion)
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 2248 encountered

IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Can any one fix this problem

Shimak

If you're moving data from 10G to 9i, using EXP/IMP, I would try using the 9i EXP to create the dumpfile with data from the 10G database, and then using the 9i IMP to import that dumpfile into the 9i database.
Sounds like you have been using the 10G EXP and IMP in both cases.
