Modify Alias using Esscmd

Is there any way to modify or update an alias table. For example, everday I add a new day to the time dimension and need to move all aliases one member up. Is there any way to do this without having to cut and paste everyday?

Rather than use an alias, consider using substitution variables.<BR><BR>They work in calc scripts, in reports, in Excel, and Analyzer. I have an automated process to daily and weekly update substitution variables based using a batch file.<BR><BR>Depending on the version of Essbase, OLAP underground had a nice utility for batch updates of subsitution variables, but I had to stop using it when I moved to 7.1. If it's been updated, it's a great solution.<BR><BR>The other alternative is to build another dynamically calced dimension that uses @prior to calculate the past values based on the period selected. It can be a very nice solution for applications with a lot of time series analysis.<BR><BR>I do everything I can to avoid having to modifiy an outline to meet changing reporting needs. I use a daily variable and week-to-date to do a dynamic daily sales report. <BR><BR>If you must change the aliases, you might also consider exporting the alias table, editing it, and re-importing it. But using aliases for moving points in time is a far poorer solution than substitution variables.

    Hello all,
    I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
    "The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
    What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
    I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
    Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
    Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
    1. How to fix this?
    2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can  afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
    Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
    Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
    Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
    OSX 10.10.2
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Duncan.

    Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
    Open the PP project.
    Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
    Set up a new PP project.
    Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
    This will get you back up an running.
    Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
    You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
    You will keep cut points, crop fx.
    Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

  • How to determine the process alias using condition technique in Transportation & Shipment Scheudling?

    Dear All,
    I am trying to use the functionality Transportation and Shipment Scheduling in GATP.
    I would like to know that how the sytem determines the process alias using condition technique in Transportation & Shipment Scheudling?
    As the Transportation & Shipment Scheduling functionality can be extended further by using the configurable process to overcome the complex scenario. But it needs that process alias should not be determined by using the condition technique.
    Moreover, is it possible to use both functionality simultaneously in the system. i.e. Transportation and Shipment Scheduling using condition technique and Transportation and Shipment Scheduling using configurable process?
    Thanks & Regards
    Piyush Ranpura

    Hi Piyush,
    I have added a small overview in the SCN WIKI which shows you the two ways for the process alias determination and also here as attachment:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/Time+and+Scheduling+Functions
    Yes, depending on your customizing you can use both scheduling methods in parallel. e.g. you activate CPS just for a specific ITEM category or product and/or customer and/or....what ever you want.
    best regards,
    Michael

  • Get Member Alias using JAPI

    <p>[1] Is there a way to get the Alias for a given member if youquery the outline using openMemberSelection()?

    Thanks for the reply John.
    I am not getting any error message. From  hs_account_hierarchy table i can import in to my epm application. Parent and child values are loaded successfully. But the child description ( Alias ) not loading in to application.
    Example:
    HS_ACCOUNT_HIERARCHY
    Parent Child "Alias=Default"
    1000     1001     College B
    In EPM Application its loaded only Parent and Child values.
    Parent Child "Alias=Default"

    I will setup my application in to debug mode and i will upload the logs.

  • Why we use ESSCMD?

    HI,
    I am new in Hyperion, doing MaxL command assignments.
    Now I understand that whatever task we will do with maxL command the same task we will do by using ESSCMD.
    Then what is the difference between MaxL & ESSCMD?
    When should I go for startMaxL or ESSCMD?
    Is their any particular reason to use MaxL or ESSCMD?
    reply please.

    MaxL is the replacement for Esscmd. I don't know of anything you can do in Esscmd that can't be done in MaxL (I guess I disagree with John). However there are a lot of things that MaxL can do that Esscmd can't. For example ASO Buffered data loads, ASO Aggregation, Essbase Studio Deploy commands.
    There is one exception to my above statement, EsscmdQ as special version of Esscmd can do Essbase ASO outline compression that MaxL can't.
    If you have Esscmd statements you can convert them using a utility in the Bin Directory I think it is called Cmd2MaxL.exe

  • Create dimension using esscmd

    Hi,
    How could I use esscmd to create new dimension or member. I know that i can use load file but isn't there a way to write it as a esscmd command.
    Thanks

    Sorry. there are no commands in Esscmd or MaxL to directly build a dimension. You have to call a load rule to do it.
    There are other ways that you can do it with. ODI,and the API are two of them

  • Can the mailer.cbx file in 6.2 be modified to use port 1025?

    Can the mailer.cbx file code in vs. 6.2 be modified to use port 1025?
    We need no authentication, only a port change to 1025 to allow the mailer object to work for us. Had it working for several months until ISP blocked port 25. We currently have no email alarm reporting to us from over 100+ alarm events!
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Thanks both Arnis and Mike --
    Interesting suggestions from both of you.
    Arnis, we're putting the cleanup utility on the back burner for the moment, since in our company, we can get in trouble using third-party software. However, it's good to know about this utility and we will use if it we have to. (Occcasionally we are forced to put our careers on the line for issues like this...)
    Mike, we created a folder called "PDFSettings" in the 7.2 "fminit" folder and copied over the six joboptions files from 9.0.  Rebooted, rePDFed and voila, that worked. (Mind you, we can't say for sure that's what worked, because as I said in my original post, the simple act of rebooting "sometimes works, sometimes not...")
    Eventually this problem will go away by itself because eventually we will get rid of 7.2 -- it's only deadline time-crunches that have made us reluctant to jump fully-clothed into 9.0...
    I really appreciate the two of you taking your time to offer suggestions and help. I can't imagine life in the FrameMaker world without you!
    Cheers,

  • Saving Modified Photos Using Elements Version 11

    I recently upgradedfrom "Elements 2" to Version 11.  I previously saved all my edited work in JPEG format and to the "My Pictures" folder.  I was then able to open all modified photos and share them with another computer without resorting to any specialised program.  I wish to continue to do the same using Version 11.  Having made several attempts without success to save modified photos using my well tried and successful method and having read the Manual to see why the process is not successful with Version 11 I am now exteremely frustrated.  Each attempt to save a modified photo results in a Thumbnail icon being loaded into the "My Pictures" folder with the elements 11 logo.  I then are only able to open the photo (which incidently does not carry the modified file name from the original) by way of the elements 11 program.  What am I missing/doing wrong?

    Dear swharton07, 
    Thank you for these thoughts.
    When you say:
    "Do you have your preferences set to save the files in My Pictures?", did you mean going to the "Edit" heading in Elements 11 workspace and then selecting "Preferences" then "Saving Files" and then "File Saving Options". I have done that and on the three Dialogue Boxes have the following active:
      a.. "On First Save" - Ask if Original
      b.. "Image Previews" - Always save
      c.. Have also ticked "Save as to Original Folder"
    I have not been able to find a Preference selection that allows me to specifically set "save the files in My Pictures".
    By way of additional background here are the details of what I have been doing with a failure on every occasion.
      a.. My O/S is "Windows XP Home"
      b.. I open Elements 11 program
      c.. Import a photo direct from My Photos" with File Name IMG_1234
      d.. Modify the photo
      e.. Select File then "Save As"
      f.. In dialogue box select save position in a sub folder of My Pictures and rename modified photo IMG_1234.1
      g.. Select format as  "JPEG"
      h.. Tick box "Include in Elements Organiser
      i.. Quality "High"
      j.. Format option selected as "Baseline (Standard)"
      k.. Save
      l.. Close modified photo in Elements 11
      m.. Go to My Pictures and the desired sub-folder
      n.. All I can see is an Icon with no photo depiction and icon has same file number as original photo (that is not the modified file number)
      o.. Try to open photo using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3 Get message "Items listed were not imported -File is damaged or an unsupported format and then there is a further message showing C/: etc and last past of that message is showing the modified file number.
    I am at my wits end as to what the problem might be and becoming increasingly frustrated to the point of wondering why I should be bothering  with as well having paid  for Elements 11 in the first place.

  • Deleting members using Esscmd/MaxL

    Does anybody know how to delete a member using Esscmd or MaxL?

    If only it were that easy! Unfortunately, you are stuck with the dreaded load rule and "remove unspecified" setting to remove members.Hyperion has an unsupported automation tool called ESSCMDQ - it may have delete member functionality (I don't have the the online help available, but you should be able to download it from the utilities section on Essbase.com)Another option would be to build a custom app with the API that allows you to pass a member name in, which could be deleted.Regards,Jade-------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

  • Creating Partition using EssCmd

    Is there any one who has created partition using EssCmd, I could not find any command in EssCmd that does it. I know that you it can be done using MaxL but I do not want to use it.Any help would be highly appreciated.Thanks in advance.ThanksYousuf

    MaxL is not as stable and mature as esscmd. Many features lack documentation or have restrictions (like partitioning). With the new application manager using maxl features (for connection displaying, etc.) we had very unpleasant moments as we had to rely on them.But none the less, give it some time and one or two patch levels and it will grow to it's use.Tom

  • Fiori: incorrect alias used when multiple system aliases assigned

    Hello all and Masayuki Sekihara
    I'm implementing SAP Fiori PO/PR/Contract approval.
    There is only 1 gateway system currently in order to support 4 ECC systems.
    (Sandbox, development, quality and production)
    Everything is working correctly when assigning only one (Sandbox) SAP system alias to the gateway service of PO approval for example.
    However when we assign multiple system aliases and set the sandbox system alias as default things go wrong.
    (Currently IW_BEP is not yet installed on the development; Quality and productive system)
    And we noticed the service is resulting in an error message because these BEP function modules can not be found on the target system.
    However the issue is that it should not call these systems as we have flagged Sandbox system as default.
    Anyone has an idea or note for this?
    (We temporary fixed this by assigning only a single alias to the services).
    But in a later phase we want to add all in order to be able to test on all systems and run production as default.
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't want to use the MOC.
    I want the behaviour like mentioned in the note:
    The default system is used whenever the service is not called as MOC. If you have defined more than one default system alias, the first system is used as the default.
    How can I achieve this?
    According to my understanding now I should make sure ";m"o is not added to the URL, but how can this be achieved?
    Thanks!
