MaxL statement for Authentication

We use this statement to convert our users to External Authentication:alter user USERNAME set type external ;But I couldn't find out the syntax for converting users to native authentication again.Can anyone help me?Thanks,Zuri

Sir, I love the way u write your blogs :)

MaxL statement for substitution variables

Hi,I'm trying get a script together that changes all my substitution variables, and I'm able to do this using:alter database application.database set variable string;but how do I set the substitution variables for (all apps) and (all dbs)?Any help appreciated.ThanksSunil

I don't think MaxL is going to do this for you, although you could always use a positional parameter to set the value.
I'm not a big fan of passing the system date to an Essbase process as it so often varies from the data date.
Usually, I create an external scripting process (in my case, in the past, usually VBScript, I would probably tilt towards perl now) that read the file, found the year and month, and then called the MaxL with parameter lne variables to set the Substitution Variables. This is not fancy code -- the error checking is the majority of the work.

Maxl statement for substitution variable..

Friends,
Do we have a maxl command that will return substitution variables at the server level along with their values.
This would help us do a quick check of the system at all environments using VLOOKUP before the cycle starts..
The manual check seems boring :(
Thanks,
RN.

MAXL statement for ASO

Hi
Is there a way to display a list of ASO apps only using Maxl?

got it, there is a column storage type.

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

Using useBean for authentication

Hi,
I am creating a login page for personalization, After the login the user can access his/her information, so in my authentication.jsp I am making all the properties available to the user. However I have the properties stored in two different beans, so I am using two useBean statements for each bean and for each of the beans properties. So when I try to compile the page I get the following error:
jsp.error.useBean.duplicate
Is it not allowed to use two <jsp:useBean> in the same jsp page?
I have two databases user and education.
snips of my code:
<sql:query var="dbInfo">
Select * from user, education where user_id= ? AND password =? AND user.user_id = education.userid
<sql:param value="${param.userid}" />
<sql:param value="${param.password}" />
</sql:query>
<c:set var="EducationDb" value="{dbInfo.rows[0]}" />
<jsp:useBean id="validUser" class="EducationBean" scope="session" >
<c:set target="${validUser}" property="userid" value="${EducationDb.userid}"

<c:set var="UserDb" value="${dbInfo.rows[0]}" />
<jsp:useBean id="validUser" class="UserBean" scope="session">
<c:set target="${validUser}" property="name" value="${UserDb.name}"/>

Thanks

Hope I can resolve this problem ASAP, thanks!

Your AD is in the Staff Vlan so maybe the WLC uses the Staff interface instead of management to contact the AD. I don't know how you sniffed exactly.
The comment about eap methods you saw is when you use LDAP with dot1x security. It is the same as saying "You cannot do peap-mschapv2 or eap-fast-mschpv2 with LDAP".
But you can do LDAP for web authentication, that has no eap methods.
Your original problem was a binding problem from the WLC, so we can expect that the WLC really is sending traffic towards AD.

Maxl statement create user to shared services

when you create a user in shared services, you can specify afirst name, last name, and email address into textboxes. now, when you create a user with maxl, can you specify to placea first name, last name, and email address into those textboxes? ican only seem to add a comment into the description textbox.

actually, you can't even insert text in the description textbox.the comment code with maxl statement is only for maxl and notshared services.

Running MaxL statements from client desktop

I am trying to load data into an ASO cube via a batch file / maxl process. This process works fine from the server, but I want people to be able to do this without having server access to run the batch file. The batch file loads a .mxl file that clears the database, loads two files into a buffer, and then aggregates the cube.
My problem is that the two files I need to load are level 0 extracts from two BSO cubes. When I use the following statement it isn't finding the file:
import database 'ReprtASO'.'Report' data
from server data_file 'report\report\report_export.txt'
to load_buffer with buffer_id 1
on error write to 'c:\automation\ReprtASO.err';
What shows up in the log file is the following:
MAXL> import database 'ReprtASO'.'Report' data
2> from server data_file 'report\report\report_export.txt'
3> to load_buffer with buffer_id 1
4> on error write to 'c:\Automation\ReprtASO.err';
ERROR - 1003027 - Unable to open file [D:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\app\ReprtASO\Report\report\report\report_export.txt].
I have logged into the ReprtASO cube and it is using the default path for that application rather than using the Hyperion Home starting with the app directory (D:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\app\ReprtASO\ instead of D:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\app\)
Is there a way around this? My maxl statement to create the Level 0 export out of the Report\Report (app/db) works because I don't define a path. But I can't figure out how to have it start looking at the App directory instead of at the database directory. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Here's the scenario. I have users that use the Excel Addin to lock-send data into my ReportXL BSO cube. In order for them to see it in the ASO cube, I have to go out to the server and run a batch file to export the Level 0 out of the XL cube and the use it with the extract from my GL cube (Report) to load the both of them into the ASO cube. Now, whenever users are updating the database, they have to come find me. I was just trying to get them a way to update it themselves.
Here's the dilemma. To extract data out of the ReportXL cube via a client mxl statement, it can only save to that directory tree. In order to load, I need it in the ReprtASO\Report directory. I don't want to give drive access to the server... especially in the database directory (.otl, .pag, etc.). Do you have any ideas for a work around?

I cannot access online statements for my credit card account when using firefox, but have no problem when using safari.

When I attempted to check the monthly statement for my credit card account and clicked on "See statement", the next screen that appeared, which was labeled Online Statement", was blank. In the past, I have never had any problems with this. When I checked with the bank that issued the credit card, the representative I spoke with said that it was a browser issue and that, since I was working on a Mac, I should try using Safari. When I switched to Safari, I had no problem bringing up my statement. But I would prefer to be able to use Firefox to obtain information like this, since it's the browser I always use.

Can you upgrade your browser to Firefox 12 and check?

VLD-1119: Unable to generate Multi-table Insert statement for some or all t

Hi All -
I have a map in OWB 10.2.0.4 which is ending with following error: -
VLD-1119: Unable to generate Multi-table Insert statement for some or all targets.*
Multi-table insert statement cannot be generated for some or all of the targets due to upstream graphs of those targets are not identical on "active operators" such as "join".*
The map is created with following logic in mind. Let me know if you need more info. Any directions are highly appreciated and many thanks for your inputs in advance: -
I have two source tables say T1 and T2. There are full outer joined in a joiner and output of this joined is passed to an expression to evaluate values of columns based on
business logic i.e. If T1 is available than take T1.C1 else take T2.C1 so on.
A flag is also evaluated in the expression because these intermediate results needs to be joined to third source table say T3 with different condition.
Based on value taken a flag is being set in the expression which is used in a splitter to get results in three intermediate tables based on flag value evaluated earlier.
These three intermediate tables are all truncate insert and these are unioned to fill a final target table.
Visually it is something like this: -
T1 -- T3 -- JOINER1
| -->Join1 (FULL OUTER) --> Expression -->SPLITTER -- JOINER2 UNION --> Target Table
| JOINER3
T2 --
Please suggest.

I verified that their is a limitation with the splitter operator which will not let you generate a multi split having more than 999 columns in all.
I had to use two separate splitters to achieve what I was trying to do.
So the situation is now: -
Siource -> Split -> Split 1 -> Insert into table -> Union1---------Final tableA
Siource -> Split -> Split 2 -> Insert into table -> Union1

Printing to a Windows shared printer, keep getting "Hold for Authentication" when I'm on the Windows shared network and can browse the computers.

I have had two MacBook Pros now, and this has been an issue in Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I've got a shared printer on the local Windows network (it's a USB printer shared via the network and the computer), and the other Windows computers in the house can print to it no problem. The Mac sees it no problem, yet whenever I try to print to it, I just get "Hold for Authentication."
Like I said, persists over Mountain Lion and Mavericks. No other computer in the house has any issues printing to it. I've installed the drivers for the printer as well (Brother HL-2240).
I've tried to follow the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23268762#23268762 but the printer isn't listed in Keychain Access.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Well, that isn't too useful. Try this instead: Adding a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB/CIFS.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.

If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

SSL: how to use Multiple Private key/Certificate pair for authentication.

Hi all,
i am implementing SSL in java using X509 Certificate/private key combination.
i have two set of private key/certificate pair.
one is factory default and another is generated at run time.
my problem is to try ssl connection with both pairs on same tcp/ip connection.
e.g. on server side: first try ssl connection with factory default certificate, if it fails try connecting with generated certificate on same tcp/ip connection.
on client side: if generated certificate(this certificate was generated at server side) is present first perform server authentication using this certificate otherwise authenticate server with factory default certificate.
can someone please help and let me know how do i need to configure both ends(client and server) for achieving the same.
Thanks In Advance

Client code does not contain any default truststore and needs a certificate for authentication.Of course it does. OpenSSL has a way of doing that: some kind of equivalent for the truststore. None of the stuff you've posted here about generating certificates at runtime has any bearing on that problem.
It's like this. The idea of PKI with SSL is as follows:
- the server has a private key and a signed certificate. Preferably it's signed by a CA that the client already trusts, otherwise if it's self-signed it has to be exported from the server's keystore and imported into the truststores of all the clients.
- the client has a truststore that trusts the server, one way or the other, see above.
- the server's private key is private to it. Nobody else has it. Nobody else can ever get it. If it ever leaks, the server is compromised, and server authentication via that private key now means absolutely nothing. You have lost security.
- the server sends its cert to the client along with a digital signature signed by its private key.
- the client (a) decides whether it trusts the cert, via its truststore, and (b) verifies the digital signature, which establishes that the server owns the certificate.
At this point the server is authenticated to the client and the SSL connection is open. It can now be used as an ordinary socket connection.
If you want client authentication too, you need all the above in reverse as well, i.e. reading server for client and client for server throughout. Note particularly that each client must have its own private key. Otherwise the private key isn't private, so signing something with it doesn't establish ownership, so client authentication isn't valid.
You need to understand all this stuff and relate it to the apparently broken security design of your application. Generating a private key and a certificate at runtime is complete nonsense within the context of PKI and SSL. It proves nothing, establishes nothing, authenticates nothing; it just wastes time.
