Essbase client MaxL issue

When trying to execute essmsh.exe from the run dialog box, a black box briefly appears and then goes away again. Does this suggest there is something wrong with our install?
On the other hand, we have been able to successfully run a maxl script text file that is invoked via a command file?
The original issue was raised when we tried to run an ODI routine and use the PRE_LOAD_MAXL_SCRIPT option. This failed with an unhelpful error message.
Your help is appreciated.

Thanks John...
Can you tell me why essmsh works from the Run dialog on server A, but not server B? Could it be an install issue? We plan to (re)install the client on server B.
I figure that our ODI pre and post MaxL options will work properly if ESSMSH behaves. This is possibly an incorrect assumption.
Cheers

Essbase Maxl Issue - In UNIX

Hi Everyone,
We are trying to build dimension using maxl script in unix box.
Facing syntax and unexpected error. Followed the steps as below.
1.In Putty, navigated to bin folder and invoked maxl script using ./startMaxl.sh command
2.logged in using the command login 'username' 'password' on 'essbaseservername';
3.Executed the import database command to build dimension having sql as source as below
   import database 'xxx'.'xxx' dimensions connect as 'bis_read' identified by 'bis_read' using server rules_file 'DimChn' on error write to '/home/essproj/Maintenance/Automation/Logs/CTO/Build/Channel1.txt'
4.Executed the import database command to build dimension having datafile as source as below
   import database 'xxx'.'xxx' dimensions from data_file '/home/essproj/Maintenance/Automation/Source Files/CTO/Measures.txt' using server rules_file 'DimMeas' on error write to             '/home/essproj/Maintenance/Automation/Logs/CTO/Build/Measures_log.txt'
Throwing the error
ERROR - 1242021 - (1) Syntax error near ['/'].
as well as
ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1054036.
5. We even tried to save the .mxl file in the utf-8 formate and tried to execute the .mxl file at that time we are getting the error as "Segment Fault" but we are using the super user credentials to do this activity.
Please help on this

Hi,
Please using '\' instead of '/'. You can use spool in your mxl script to capture the error better.
spool on to 'c:\dimbuild.log';
MAXL Statements & commands;
import database 'xxx'.'xxx' dimensions from data_file '\home\essproj\Maintenance\Automation\Source Files\CTO\Measures.txt' using server rules_file DimMeas on error write to             '\home\essproj\Maintenance\Automation\Logs\CTO\Build\Measures.log.txt';
spool off;
logout;
exit;
Also label's also would do the magic..!! Let us know us how it goes..!!
Thanks

Error running Maxl and ESSMSH Commads

Hello,
I had recently installed EAS Client while my system was getting changed from a previous one . Firstly , I was unable to enter the Maxl with essmsh command , so i had started going to the directory where startmaxl.cmd site and from there when I run it i get into Maxl shell . i was curious on how to fix this. But the main concern now is , i am trying to encrypt few passwords and while i run essmsh -gk from Maxl shell , the key is not getting recognized . Previously , before re installing EAS i had no issues on this at all . Any comments or suggestion ?
Thanks !!

I am able to run maxl commands , not a problem with that . However my main issue now si teh decryption , we can try working the other way for now . Because the maxl issue is in my local machine , i went to essbase server directly and started this encryption process.
This what it looks like :
login $key AAAAAAAAA (ADMIN ID) $key BBBBBBBBBB (PASSWORD) on Essbase Server ;
import database 'App'.DB' dimensions
connect as $key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX identified by $key YYYYYYYYYYY using server rules_file 'A',
connect as $key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX identified by $key YYYYYYYYYYY using server rules_file 'B',
connect as $key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX identified by $key YYYYYYYYYYY using server rules_file 'C'
on error write to "A\\File.err";
X is the database log in ID and Y is its password which was recently changed and this script was working till then .
I followed the regular encryption process , I had to Just change the encryption keys of X and Y , the proxy ID and password are still the same . SO , i created a .simple text txt file ;
login db ID db Password,
From cmd , ran essmsh -E File name publick key
I got encrypted ID and password .
When i implemented them on the above script , the script failed to execute in the db login stage as:
ERROR - 1021001 - Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information. (The log just gives the same info , SQL Login failed )
ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1021001.

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,
Raja

Report Scripts, DATAEXPORT command, JEXPORT are some types of ways to select an area of the database and export the data though it all depends on how corrupted the databas is to whether you will be able to get any of the data out.
It is probably worth having a read of the following doc in Oracle Support "Error "1006060 - Invalid block header: Block numbers do not match -- Please use the IBH Locate/Fix utilities to find/fix the IBH problem" [ID 596748.1]"
It is not exactly the same error but it gives suggestions on attempting to fix the error.
You might be out of luck if you did not take regular backups.

System 11 Essbase 11.1.3 - Maxl Start up issue

Working on a upgrade project from system 7 to 11, Shared services, EAS, Essbase everything seems to be installed and running fine, was able to migrate and acess Essbase apps via EAS smart view etc but issue persists with MAXL.
unable to start ESSMSH.exe manually or through automaiton.
Think its searching for arborpath , but with new system 11 its not set as a environment variable do i need to add it to the PATH ,Error on trying to access MAXl through automation is listed as follows
Error initializing localization module*
Environment variable ARBORPATH is not set.*
SET PATH variable values the Server
D:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin;
%SystemRoot%\system32;
%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\oma\bin;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\idrac;
D:\Hyperion\common\ODBC-64\Merant\5.2\Drivers;
D:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin

This is a weird one -- I've been at clients where the path was "wrong" (on the server, not the client) -- same thing, I couldn't run MaxL and was told that the answer was to use startMaxL.cmd from its native directory. That make sense to me then and still doesn't.
startMaxL does indeed work.
Here's the path from my VM server:
PATH=C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin;C:\Hyperion\common\SAP\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Common;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Client;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Server;C:\Hyperion\common\ODBC\Merant\5.2\Drivers;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\server\bin;C:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin
Arborpath:
C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient
I can run essmsh.exe from anywhere on that server.
startMaxl.cmd is in two places: c:\hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin and c:\hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin
You can see that the path goes right to essbaseclient\bin.

Issue with MAXL resource_usage statement

Hi,
I am tring to use the resource usage command in MAXL and I am getting error.
MAXL> alter database SUNDDD.SUNDDD initialize load_buffer with buffer_id 1 resource_usage .5;
ERROR - 1242021 - (1) Syntax error near ['resource_usage'].
I am unable to find the description of the Error Message.
Can someone please guide me as to what the issue is. We are using ASO cube.
Thanks
S

I never used resource_usage with my ASO MAXL scripts. I looked at the documentation of Ver. 7.1.6 & System 9 but couldn't find the definition.
Now I am really interested to know what source you are using for this definition.

Strange Essbase Issue - Calculation doesnot yield proper result in MaxL

Hi,
All the Essbase veterans, need your help to look into this strange issue.
We are running Essbase on UNIX and we have a BSO application where a daily batch process runs to aggregate the database for Actual and Budget scenario. Strange things is, the nightly aggregation process doesn't properly aggregate the data, as we see variance between the stored and shared hierarchies. But if we run the same aggregation through EAS console manually, the aggregation yields correct results with zero variance between stored and shared hierarchies.
In the aggregation script we are clearing the upper level blocks (with UPDATECALC set to OFF), then use CALC dim on the entity and Accounts for aggregating the results.
This issue has been very strange to my little experience as the same calc behaves differently when called in MaxL.
Any helpful suggestion to nail this down are welcome.
Thanks in Advance !!

>
Isn't dense dimension supposed to aggregate properly (as it is within a block) in a single pass. I am getting confused as theory i know is in conflict..
Also, can Parents be tagged TWO PASS (as I cant think of any strong reason to make them two pass).
Edited by: user10725029 on May 2, 2012 8:30 PMIf the dimension is tagged as the accounts dimension and and you have two pass members that are not dynamic calc, running the default calc will do the calculation in a single pass. Otherwise if they are stored members, then you have to do a calc twopass. If you have twopass in another dimension than the accounts dimension, it has to be dynamic or or it won't calculate as two pass

Maxl Script running Issue in Essbase 11.1.2.2

Hi All,
We have a Maxl Script which takes Level 0 Backup of the Database. We have migrated the apps to the new server 11.1.2.2 and this script is not running in the new server but it works fine in the Old Server.We have the code like this in the script
REM $1 = USERNAME
REM $2 = PASSWORD
REM $3 = servername
REM $4 = BSOAppName = RPSBSO
REM $5 = BSODB_Name = RPSBSOD
REM $6 = ASOAppName = RPSASO
REM $7 = ASODB_Name = RPSASOD
essmsh C:\Hyperion\Automation\MAXL\Backup_BSO.msh Username password gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com RPSBSO RPSBSOD RPSASO RPSASOD
When i run the .bat script an Fatal Error is shown under the above line saying
MSH Fatal Error: Error Initializing localization module.
I have changed all the path locations,server names etc according to the new environment in the script but the script is displaying error like above. Can any one help me on this.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi John Thanks for your post.
I would like to give some more information like this is the script named BU_BSO_2.bat which is used for taking backup of individual application RPSBSO, and it calls Backup_BSO.msh script which is internally called in BU_SO_2.bat file as given below the command. What we do is we just run this BU_BSO_2.bat batch file where it executes everything and places the backup in given path in the script. But actually its giving error in executing only the given below line
essmsh C:\Hyperion\Automation\MAXL\Backup_BSO.msh Username password gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com RPSBSO RPSBSOD RPSASO RPSASOD
Error shown : MSH Fatal Error: Error Initializing localization module
And i went through your doc but they are the server specific paths which we are not using in this script and this script runs fine in 11.1.1.
Let me know if i can provide any more information.
Regards,
Naveen
Try updating
essmsh C:\Hyperion\Automation\MAXL\Backup_BSO.msh Username password gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com RPSBSO RPSBSOD RPSASO RPSASOD
to
startMaxl.bat C:\Hyperion\Automation\MAXL\Backup_BSO.msh Username password gvw3086-v.atlanta.hp.com RPSBSO RPSBSOD RPSASO RPSASOD
If the location of startMaxl is not in the windows path variable you will need to either update the path variable or put the path in the script e.g.
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\bin\startMaxl.bat
or C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startMaxl.cmd
Alternatively edit startMaxl and take the variable information out of it and put it in your script then you will be able to use essmsh.

MaxL Create Application Issue

Hi,
I am going through the MaxL shell.
I am learning simple commands like create application.
I have few questions regarding create an application from MaxL.
The syntax is:
create or replace application Application_Name type unicode/nonUniCode_Mode as CopyApplication_Name comment'xxxxx';
when we create a application from MaxL the application is created is which type ? either it is ASO or BSO type?
or how should i know whether it is ASO type or BSO type?
If I have to create a application of particular one type i.e. ASO/BSO how could i achieve this?
please Reply.
Thanks

Hi,
You have different syntax for creating ASO and BSO applications using MAXL, the above stmt you mentioned is to create a BSO app.
To create a ASO app, you use
create [or replace] application APPNAME using aggregate_storage comment 'YOUR COMMENTS.';
For more info refer below : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/aso/creapp_as.htm

MAXL - Alter User issue

Hi All,
Does Alter User MAXL work for an external user?
We use Alter User to add users to groups. This works fine for native users, say
Alter user user1 add to group1 ;
From the above statement it is not sure if user1 is a native or an external user. I think the default is native.
Is there any special way to specify that the user is an external user?
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Ethan.

Hi Cameron,
Thank you for the link.
I think LCM works only when both the source & destination are in Shared services mode.
In my case, source is not in Shared services.
All I want to know is, Is there any utility to assign "Server access" to external LDAP users?
Here is the problem.
I need to assign filter access to many users & groups.
I can create native groups & assign filters using MAXLS
I can Alter external LDAP users to assign them to groups using MAXL, ONLY after I give them server access & refersh security, because users will not be recognized in MAXL if they don't have server access privelege.
The complete process cannot be executed in one flow.
I have to manually assign server access to each user or manually include each user to a group & then assign server access to the group.
I am wondering if there is any thing in MAXL or any other utility to assign server access to the users.
This would be very helpful.
Thanks,
-Ethan.

MaxL Script Issue

Hello everyone-
I have a need to track when data is posted to an account for the first time within certain departments. Individual departments are created as a combination of three dimensions: Company, LOB, and Entities. For example, I wish to track data that is posted to C601 or C602 in the company dimension, L10 in the LOB dimension, and D140 or D145 in the Entities dimension.
I'm a newbie in MaxL, but my thought is that creating a trigger in MaxL may be the best way of going about this. I tagged all accounts that currently have data in the departments I wish to track with a UDA of MktgAcct. What I want to do is create a spool if there is any data that is loaded to an account not tagged as MktgAcct within any combination of the members listed above. I'm trying to do this through a MaxL script and my attempts at this are below. I know what I have won't work, but it's an example of what I'm trying to do conceptually. Can anyone give me some guidance on making this work? Thanks so much in advance!
CREATE OR REPLACE AFTER UPDATE TRIGGER 'CCRCRPT'.'Finstmt'.'Mktg'
WHERE
CROSSJOIN({[Net Income].CHILDREN},
{([Company].[C601], [Company].[C602], [LOB].[L10], [Entities].[D145], [Scenarios].[Actual], [Versions].[Final], [Years].[FY08])}
WHEN NOT(UDA([Accounts], "MktgAcct"))>0
THEN SPOOL Mktg_acct
END

I guess you are not that far from making it work.
Here some remarks :
In your "WHEN" condition you are using the "NOT" operator which is a "boolean" therefore returning TRUE or FALSE not a value.
As for your UDA(Accounts, "MktgAcct"), the MDX UDA function returns a set of members having the UDA=MktgAcct which is not what you want, I guess.
Maybe you could try smthg like this :
WHEN NOT(ISUDA(Accounts,"MktgAcct")) AND [Accounts].CurrentMember > 0
Hope it helps,

HOW can i delete the members in dim using MAXL

Hi All,
I want to delete the all the memebers for dimensions before reloading so how ca n i write the maxl script for this to delete the members in the dimensions
plz can any one help on this its very urjent ,
It would be appriciated ...
Thanks

There is no way to alter an outline with MaxL, MaxL is an admin language for processing. The only option, as Glenn mentioned is to issue the reset all command to blow away everything. But you probably don't want to do that, so instead you use Maxl to run a series of load rules to achieve your goal.
Load rules do not have functionality to delete outline members, it does have a feature however that allows you to remove unspecified members from a dimension build, so when loading in your members, if existing members are not in the import, they are removed. So Glenn's point was to create a source file with a single dummy member. When you load using "Remove Unspecified" it will delete all the members and just keep the one dummy member. Then when you go back a second time and actually load the real members, the dummy member will be removed and you will have a clean dim with only your new members. This is a work around solution, but it's what a lot of people do.
Now if you have 15 dimensions you need to do this with, you might want to take a slightly different approach. I'm assuming 15 dimensions is probably an ASO cube and this method will be preferable to avoid outline fragmentation.
Create a copy of your outline with all the base dimensions that do not change intact. For the ones that do change, just have your dim root member. Consider this your starting outline template and save a copy of it. When you want to rebuild your cube have a server process that takes the copy of your template outline and copies it over your existing outline file in the directory structure. Then run your load rules to import your new members.

Error is not getting logged in error file while running dataload maxl

Hello All,
I am running a Maxl to load data in a database which is running fine but noted a weird issue that the errors are not getting logged in error file. Suppose i changed the name of data file then it should give error something like
ERROR - {Error no.} - Unable to open file {filename} which should be logged in error file but my error file is still empty.
I am using the Maxl -
import database {dbname} data from data_file {filename} on error append to "D:/Error/errorfile.err";
Any inputs please...
Thanks

Try to use single quotes and the backslash. It may depend on the operating system and /or the version of essbase used. This is an example from one of my maxls:
on error append to 'D:\Hyperion\logfiles\myload.err';
cheers, chris
