MAXL Script error in UNIX

Hi All,
i have a maxl script to export the level 0 data and also a shell script with command "*essmsh maxlscriptname.mxl*" in it, the version that i am working on is essbase 11.1.2 and the platform is in unix.
I have seen that, for the maxl script to work in version 11 we have to use the command "*startEssmsh.sh*" so that it sets all the variables and then runs the required script.
The problem is, i dont have startEssmsh.sh in my \bin directory and even if i change my shell script to "*startEssmsh.sh maxlscriptname.mxl*" its not working, it says that startEssmsh.sh not found.
Kindly let me know on how to run the mxl script in unix with no startEssmsh.sh file present \bin directory. Are there any manual steps to set up the variables and if yes, what are they.
Thanks,
Amogh

The script you are looking for is:
<MIDDLEWAREHOME>/user_projects/epmsystem1/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/bin/startMaxl.sh
In UNIX you will need to use the full path to startMaxl.sh unless you have <MIDDLEWAREHOME>/user_projects/epmsystem1/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/bin in your PATH statement.

MAxl script error

MAXL> execute calculation ABC.ABC.uncorp;
ERROR - 1051030 - Application ABC does not exist.
MAXL> execute calculation '@RELATIVE ("UNKNOWN CORP CODE",0);' on ABC.ABC;
ERROR - 1051030 - Application ABC does not exist.
Can any one help me why I am getting this error? Actually applucation was existed in the server and I am able to see it in adminconsole also. But I am not finding the root cause when I ran it in Command prompt by enabling maxl mode i am getting this error.

This error is because the Analytic Services cannot find the mentioned application directory.
Possible solution are:-
-> If the application was copied or deleted using file system controls (such as Windows Explorer or the cp or rm commands), create a dummy application with the original name and use Analytic Services copy or delete the application correctly.
-> Make sure that the directory exists in the correct location.
-> Make sure that you have the correct operating system privileges for the listed directory.
-> See if another user has locked the directory.
-> Make sure that the following environment variables are set correctly:
ARBORPATH (PC and UNIX)
PATH (PC and UNIX)
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (UNIX only)
Make sure that the security file is not corrupt.
If you are using ESSCMD, make sure that the application directory specified in the ESSCMD command is correct.

Thanks a lot!

Not an Oracle problem.
A 'here-document' is automatically turned in a temporary file.
The default directory for temporary files is /tmp.
As per the error message, you apparently didn't read, you have no permission to create files in this directory.
You can change the location of your temporary files for your session by setting the TMP and TMPDIR variables to an appropiate value.

Maxl "on error write to" doesn't work in scripts, kinda

We have scripts that include the line:
on error write to '\\\planfoundprod\Oracle\Errors\Error01.err';
which work fine if there's an error.
If there's no error and I'm running the code in EAS MaxL Script Editor it will generate a null (zero-byte) file but what I'd really like is to have a null file generated as part of a MaxL nightly batch processes. The underlying issue is I know the last time the MaxL unsuccessfully ran but I don't know if things are still running or not. Daily .err files would permit me to quickly determine that.
Similar to what I'm hoping for are the outlineload.cmd scripts that /do/ generate the log file each and every time. I guess that's part of my thought process - while one is a log file while the other is an error file, error-free files are being generated in EAS so it seems this isn't just a pipe dream. TIA

Many times it's best not to dwell on what essbase can't do, and put that energy towards what you can do to compensate for it.
Obviously if you have it scripted, simply put a "touch" in the shell script to update a date/time stamp on a dummy file right after the dataload. (one example, for instance)

Error 1030001 in MAXL Script "BuildDimFile"

I have a MAXL script that successfully builds two of my dimensions using the SQL interface from Oracle. What's strange is, even though the script works, mid-way through MAXL log file, the following error appears: 9 - Essbase error encountered: [BuildDimFile:'test'] [1030001]. Then at the end of the file, it states: 51 - MaxL execution failed. The line in the script:import database '_test'.'_TESTKKU' dimensions connect as 'test' identified by 'test' using server rules_file 'D_Region' on error write to 'D_Region.err';Anyone have any idea why MAXL is reporting failure, when the script is actually working?

I've used the error handling in MAXL and have found that it gets bettter with every release. It still doesn't trap all errors, but it does catch most fatal errors.<BR><BR>You will want to test it in the particular script that you are using to ensure it does the job you need. When MAXL first came out, the error trapping was much less effective than with ESSCMD. Now we're working with 7.1.3 and find that it catches the things we really need to catch.<BR>

Maxl Script will not write to error file for data laod.

Sorry Glenn here is the new thread. I re ran without the semi colon after data 3 and the same error came up without anything being written to the error file.
I purposely removed a member from the orginal outline that is included in the data loaded but yet the error file is not written to. I tried doing the load manually but executing it in the background, error file is to be created on my local HD but it does not write it there. Checked the output and it is written to a directory located on the server. Although i think this is normal.
Could it be that it will not write to a local drive? I am going to try specifying a spot on the server to see if it runs there.
thanks
Original post below.
Hello,
I am also having this issue.
I will include my script below but will state some details before
We are on Essbase 11.1.1.3
I am running Admin Console from my client PC that connects to the server in the script and I read that in this set up the error file will not get written to. This documentation was for v 9.1.3
Here is my script (i changed some of the names)
login 'user' 'password' on server';
create application 'Money1' as 'Money2';
spool stderr on to 'errorfile';
import database 'Money1'.'Main' data
from local text data_file 'Money1_Data.txt'
using server rules_file 'Data3'
on error append to 'dataload.err';
execute calculation 'CALC ALL;' on 'Money1'.'Main';
logout;
spool off;
exit;
here is the error output i get:
code line: on error append to 'dataload.err';
Statement executed with warnings.
(3) Syntax error near ['$']
I don't see a dollar sign anywhere in my code and the error file does not get produced.
Also do error files get written too if the actins are executed in the background?
Thanks!
Alex

This works for me in a MaxL script run through essmsh.exe:
import database appname.dbname data from local text data_file "d:\\datafilename.txt" using server rules_file "rulename"
on error write to "d:\\errorfilename.err" ;Sometimes EAS (I think you are running it through that) does weird things to MaxL. I eschew MaxL in EAS as much as possible (like 100% of the time).
NB -- the datafilename and errorfilename and their drive letters are local to wherever you're running this process through the MaxL shell. I don't know how that works when you're running EAS -- are drives local to your session, local to the EAS server? Dunno. Leave EAS behind, buy TextPad (no I am not the author of that fine product) and download the MaxL syntax library, and be happy. :)

Put the MaxL into a code block to get it to display correctly.

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'm running essbase 11.1.2
Here is my script:
#!/bin/sh
# Maxl script to run
export MAXL_SCRIPT_1=/hyperion/..../script1.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_2=/hyperion/..../script2.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_3=/hyperion/..../script3.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4a=/hyperion/..../script4a.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4b=/hyperion/..../script4b.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4c=/hyperion/..../script4c.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4d=/hyperion/..../script4d.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_5=/hyperion/..../script5.maxl

wait
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_5 "
echo Done.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks!
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...

Maxl script in unix

Hi Experts,
how to run the maxl script in linux platform in silent mode.I am invoking the maxl script through shell script. If I run the script linux screen shows all the dimension load status for all dimension.
Thanks in advance.

That's because STDOUT (which you have redirected to dev/null with ">") and STDERR are separate streams. The error / warning messages are on STDERR.
Try redirecting with..>/dev/null 2>&1I'm not a shell scripting expert by any means; suggest Googling 'redirect STDOUT STDERR' to understand what's actually going on.
EDIT: Since the OP has marked this post 'Correct' (Robert really had the complete correct answer first!) I have corrected the syntax to avoid confusion for anyone who gets here in future via search.

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. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_commands_nesting.html or Cameron's 2009 K'scope presentation: http://odtug.com/apex/f?p=500:575:526121996615242::NO::P575_CONTENT_ID:4605

Maxl script STATUS

Hi guys..
Is there a way to check the status of the maxl script executed.
The scenario I am talking about is like this:
A maxl script is being called from a unix script. Is there a way to check if the status of the maxl file executed is Success or Failure.
I am using startmaxl.sh to execute the maxl file. So if there is an error the startmaxl.sh should return 1/Failure. right?
Correct me if I am wrong.

It's worth having a read of Cameron's post of exit codes and error handling in maxl - http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.com/2011/06/no-exit-but-not-in-maxl_9756.html

Encrypted Maxl "Parse error near in" error

Hello,
I'm facing a "Parse error near in" error when trying to use encrypted Maxl scripts deploying Essbase Studio cubes.
The problem seems to be in the deploy command. If I do not use encrypted Maxl ( -D option ), the same deploy command works fine.
Look in the deploy command that I'm not using encryption for loging into Essbase Studio. Even using encryption the same error is issued.
Here is the log: ( I changed sensitive information for obvious reasons )

There have been a number of MaxL bugs with encryption that produce 'Parse error near...' messages. If you login to Oracle Support and search the Knowledge Base on 'Parse error near' you will find them. I can't see anything specifically relating to 11.1.2.1 or a known defect in the release notes... ...I'd get a support ticket raised, if you haven't already.
You don't mention platform, but I've also run into a bug running 'deploy' in 11.1.2.1 on a 64-bit Windows environment and there was a Unix bug too, but they both caused crashes so probably aren't your problem.

essmsh error: End of File breaks the statement
MaxL Shell completed
Press any key to continue . . .

Hi,
I think it would be easier if you segregate the MaxL commands from the UNIX parameters, I mean if you push all the maxl executable lines into .msh file and execute that .msh file at the end if the Unix Shell then you might not get this error.
Also you can try the same command into the Essbase client's Maxl editor that way you can check your syntax and variables. Once it is working fine there then you can embed this maxl into the shell.

ODI fails when running MAXL scripts

HI,
We have a problem with ODI where when a scenario has a maxl script as a step the scenario fails.
This is not a problem in our production environment but it is present in our DEV and TEST environments. We believe it may be a problem with the cloning process from PROD.
Has anyone had this issue previously or can provide some helpful direction.
Regards
Luke

What is the error you are getting at the failure point?

Weird problem using "Login" in MaxL script

Hi there
I have created a MaxL script for loading som data into an Essbase. The script you can see below.
login 'user' 'password' on 'nkm18k14';
import database 'realtest'.'Loadtest'
data from text data_file '\\nkm18k00\Planning\Loaddata\lonbud.txt'
using server rules_file 'LonBLoad'
on error write to '\\nkm18k00\Planning\Errorlogs\realtest.txt';
When I try to execute it, as it is i get the following error "(3) Syntax error near ['$'], which im guessin is line 3, right?
When I remove line 1 (the login statement), the script runs just fine. What is goin on, any ideas?
I as a user have write acces to the network locations specified, could it be that the essbase uses som kind of system user that doesn't have acces to the network location?
Any valuable input will be appreciated.
Regards, Jacob

It's true that they are not "needed" from a security approach, but from a maintenance approach you still end up having to touch a large number of scripts if you store the connection details in them.
As a system user, you don't even have to change the password -- but if you have someone leave the company you may just want to.
Either way, I would never want to hard code connectivity details inside dozens of scripts when I can keep it in a single place.
Here is the MXL_Shell file for Windows -- you can obtain the SendEmail.exe from multiple places, but the syntax should be validated.
The location of the scripts, log files, and batch items can of course be modified to your liking as well...
The Errors that are ignored are stored in a file called "IGNORED.TXT" in the Batch directory (see below for what I ignore).

MAXL Script

I'm having trouble with running a MAXL Script. I have a macro in Access that creates my load table. The last command in the macro is "essmsh loadcube.msh".The shell will open, but doesn't take input from the file. The file contents are:login user pswd on server;set message level all;import database Invstmnt.Invstmnt data from data_file 'C:\Hyperion\Essbase\Client\loadinv05.xls' using rules_file 'T:\App\Invstmnt\Invstmnt\Data05.rul' on error append to 'C:\Hyperion\Essbase\Client\errorinv.log';execute calculation 'SET MSG ERROR; CALC ALL;' on Invstmnt.Invstmnt;logout;exit;Is this incorrect??? These steps work fine when I key it into the shell.

I am making the assumption you want to update a substitution variable, not a 'global' variable. Symantecs of course as they are global, but hope I get you heading down the right path.
Yes, you'll need to use the Alter Database command. You must first drop the variable then add the variable you want.
ex:
alter database $4.$5 drop variable pyryear;
alter database $4.$5 add variable pyryear;
alter database $4.$5 set variable pyryear "FY07";
obviously this is a snipit of code I have from a MaxL automation with positional variables included, but this should have you heading in the proper direction.
