MAXL Script for copying outline

Can we write any MAXL Script for copying outline from one aplication/datbase to another application/database.
Example copying olt from app1.dbb1 to app2.dbb2

No and yes.
There is no MaxL statement for copying an outline from one DB to another (Unless you are converting from BSO to ASO). But you can shell system commands like xcopy within a MaxL script (of course you could just do this in your batch or shell script) . Just make sure you stop the Dbs before doing the copy

  • Logon Scripts for copying files in Windows 7

    Issues using Logon scripts to copy files in windows 7.  Its default is to append the file rather than copy and replace, which is what XP did.  How can I achieve the same results using
    logon scripts in W7 to copy any files to specified folders and replacing old files.  The reason for this is that we use a software that performs offsite/onsite updates and the only way all the users can have the correct version/tables is to either manually
    update each user in a 90+ user environment or use a logon script to perform the coping of the updates.  Unfortunately the software support won’t create a (while logging in to software) patch for this.  So we have to force it during the user logon.

    Hi Novice,
    It should depend on your script content. it's recommended you ask in the official scripting guys forum for professional help:

  • A script for copying smilar files to a new location

    Hi,
    i newbies to scripting. My challenge is that I want a script to only copy files with names "similar" and not "exactly the same" as the filenames in the text file.
    For example some files have 10 letters file name like "ABC01FGH01.tif".  I have to copy file where starting letter "ABC" and middle letter "FGH" of file name are fixed, but other letters are changed.
    The script sees a file name like "ABC**FGH**.tif", it should search the source location and copy the files having filenames with at least this characters e.g. "ABC02FGH02.tif", "ABC03FGH04.tif" should be copied since it has
    contains "ABC**FGH**.tif".
    Please help.

    Learn how to use wildcards in file names.  '*' is for any number of characters and'?' is for one character.
    COPY ABC??DE???.?x? c:\target
    Start by using DIR
    DIR ABC??DEF???JK.?x?

  • Script for Overriding, Outlining, and Clearing Masters

    As part of the submission process for one of our printers, we have to outline all the text on a set of labels. I've been trying to write a script to do three steps:
    1. Override all Master page objects
    2. Apply [none] master to all pages
    3. Outline all text
    I've gotten pretty far, but I seem to have hit a stumbling block on the Apply [none] master step. Any suggestions?
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    var TotalPages = (myDocument.pages.count());
    for(var CurrentPage=0; CurrentPage < TotalPages; CurrentPage++) {
         OverrideMasterItems();
    function OverrideMasterItems() {
         myDocument.pages[CurrentPage].appliedMaster.pageItems.everyItem().override(myDocument.pages[CurrentPage]);
    //this next part is where I have the problem... I would think it would select all the pages in the document, then change the master page to "null" but it doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
    try{
        app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().getElements().changeMaster(null);
        }catch(e){};
    //then this final part is working fine.
    try{
        app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().createOutlines();
        }catch(e){};

    I can't help with your script, but I'll give you the standard advice that oulining text is bad practice, and toatally unnecessary in any reasonalby modern workflow that doesn't involve a cutting machine for making signs, or similar. You should find out WHY this printer seems to think it's necessary when ID automatically embeds all non-protected fonts in a PDF.
    If you still want to outline, you don't want to do it by converting text to outlines before exporting. You'll lose all your automated bullets and list numbers and any underlines or paragraph rules. Far better to let the transparency flattener do the job during export. See Possible bug: oulining text w/ flattener in CS5

  • Script for copying files to drop boxes of other Macs

    I don't know much about scripts as yet, but for daily backup purposes
    I would like to copy all new or modified files from various folders
    to the drop boxes of two other Macs (like the old DOS command XCopy)
    and then reset the "modified attributes" (is there something like that at all?)
    of these files.
    A script could do this without the need to always find and select these files
    and to always confirm the messages "You can put items into “Drop Box”,
    but you won’t be able to see them. Do you want to continue?".
    Thanks!

    Here is a short skeleton which doesn't treat subfolders.
    May you check if it do what you want ?

    end run
    on copyFile(sourceFile, targetFolder) (*
    sourceFile is the path to the source file as text,
    dest_folder is the path to the destination folder as text
    newFileName is the name of the file as text
    tell application "Finder"
    duplicate file sourceFile to folder targetFolder with replacing

  • Maxl  script for delete alias

    Hi All,
    wen im loading the all the dimensions we have to delete all alises and reload all the dimensions
    How can i delete alias for every load using maxl or any thing else
    Thanks

    Dear user98631,
    I was going to refer you to this link: Re: HOW can i delete the members in dim using MAXL but I find that you are one and the same as the OP of that thread so you've already got the gen on what MaxL can and cannot do.
    So, briefly, there is no MaxL command to delete aliases.
    What you could do is create a dimension load rule that load blanks to aliases. This would require a rebuild of each dimension that you wanted to impact.
    I'm a little confused, though.
    You wrote:
    wen im loading the all the dimensions we have to delete all alises and reload all the dimensions
    How can i delete alias for every load using maxl or any thing else Do you want to delete the aliases from existing dimensions, or delete all of the dimensions and rebuild them from scratch?
    If you want to do the latter, the previous thread linked above ought to do it. If you don't want aliases, just ignore the column with the aliases in your build table/file.
    Does this answer your question?
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour

  • Batch Script for Logging Outline Change(s)

    In 11.1.2.2., is there a way of automatically generating a maintenance log to keep track of each time making changes to the outline?
    I haven't seen it in the docs, but figured that I should double check with the forum...

    You will get a better answer in Essbase forum
    However go through
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/outlinechangelog.html
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/outlinechangelogfilesize.html
    This is what you are looking for. I'll use that with caution, because it can cause a performance degradation.
    During a restructure, Essbase holds outline change information in memory until all updates have been made to the outline change log. Turning on the outline change log might affect your restructure performance, particularly after dimension builds of several hundred or more members.Regards

  • RSI_COPY_MASS_PARAMETER scripts for all mass activity types

    We have CPS version 7 and I am trying to submit some mass activities
    The first task is to copy mass parameters there are three scripts one for BILLING, BIPR and for INVOICES
    Where can I obtain the scripts for copy mass activity parameters for other types, Such as meter reads?
    Do I have to define them myself?
    Thanks for help

    Hi Joseph,
    The first question to ask is for which of these 24 mass activities you really need to change parameter sets.
    If you only need to copy existing parameter sets and maybe apply a date shift, then for these mass activities the standard RSI_COPY_MASS_PARAMETER will do just fine.
    For those mass activities where you do need to modify the content of the parameter sets from CPS, you need to create one of these scripts. If you need to modify many parameters, this can be somewhat cumbersome, however often the mass activity structures are somewhat similar so you could start off with one of the existing scripts. And you only need to specify the parameters you need to modify, as well as the standard parameters for these scripts (on the first tab on the submit window).
    Regards,
    Anton.
