"Not" in Calc Script

Is there a "Not" ability in the Calc scripting language.For example, we load most (not all) data to level 0. A CALC ALL command would roll those numbers up. However, it would roll them up over top of any data we load at upper levels.Since the upper level data is all loaded against the "No Time" member of our Time dimension and that is the only data stored there, it would be nice to do something like:Fix NOT("No Time")....Is this possible or is there a similar way to do this?Thanks in advance.

I think I need more help.We're loading data to various geographical members that can be at any level, but they all point to one scenario, one measure, one account and one time period ("No Time"). By design, the numbers won't roll up the other hierarchies, but can roll up Geography - which we don't want to have happen.To further help the understanding, consider this equivalent example:A boss (level 1 of Employees) gets a salary bonus (Salary Bonus being an Account), but each of his/her subordinates (level 0 of Employees) gets their own bonuses. The total of the subordinates should not over write the bosses bonus. But other items (e.g. Sales - which are made by the subordinates, not the boss who just sits at a desk) would roll up to show how each boss's sales are doing.How do you write the equivalent of a Calc All for all accounts except Salary Bonus so that the other accounts roll up the Employee dimension?

Use of RTP in calc script

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know if run time prompts can be used in calc scripts? Actually, we need to have some aggregation at a particular scenario, division and month level in essbase.
We are using 11.1.1.
Thanks.

Runtime prompts are for use with Business rules (either original business rules via EAS or Calc Manager) and not essbase calc scripts.

Smartview VBA function for launch calc-scripts as strings. like EsbCalc ???

We have used an Excel VBA which launch an calculation script from a STRING using the VBA Add-In function "EsbCalc".
We would like to migrate to Smartview VBA functions.....
The calc-script string has "parameters" which are modified at run-time...
I have found the function HypExecuteCalcScript - but seems that use as parameters ONLY the calc-script name...
Is it any VBA function in SmartView which launch a calc-script string (not a calc-script name) ?
We are using EPM 11.2
Thanks...

A tip I just learned at Kaleidoscope 2010* is that one can create a calc script consisting entirely of a substitution variable. In other words, a calc script can look like this:
&Calc
Smart View VBA does have a function for changing or creating substitution variables (HypSetSubstitutionVariable). You could create a calc script and subvar in your database as above. Then, at run time, set that subvar to your calc string with HypSetSubstitutionVariable and execute the calc script with HypExecuteCalcScript.
Quick test (11.1.1.3) shows that this really works.
I can't remember privileges required to create or set subvars vs execute calc strings off the top of my head - might be an issue (I ran as an admin). Also this approach doesn't support concurrent users, unless they each have a calc script and subvar to themselves. Still, depending on your exact situation, this might be a feasible workaround.
*I won't credit the presenter solely because the tip came from a presentation which he specifically declined to make public domain.

@ATTRIBUTESVAL works properly in Calc script but not in Member Formula.

We are using Essbase 11.1.2 –
"Global_Period" is a Dynamic Calc Member. Below is its Member Formula:
"ProjType " is an attribute (text) dimension.
"Global_Period" ="ValidAccount";
IF (@ISLEV ("Total_Expenses", 0) AND @ISMBR("HSP_InputValue") AND @ISLEV ("Version",0) AND
@ISMBR("No_GL_Account") AND @ISLEV ("Scenario",0) AND @ISLEV ("Years",0) AND @ISMBR ("Local")
AND @ISLEV("Tot_Org",0) AND NOT @ISIDesc ("Service_Division") AND @ISLEV("Tot_PRJ",0) )
"Global_Period"->"No_GL_Account"-> @CURRMBR ("Projects") =
1* "ValidAccount"->"Global_Version" ->"Global_Scenario"->&Budget_Year->"Global_Entity"->
"No_GL_Account"->"HSP_InputValue"->"Local"->
@MEMBER(@NAME(@CONCATENATE ("Proj_",@ATTRIBUTESVAL("ProjType"))));
ENDIF
The above Member- Formula is failed to work when opening a Data Form that contain "Global_Period".
The error messages in the log file are as follow:
[Thu Mar 1 16:55:39 2012]Local/Projects/Plan1/admin@Native Directory/1122748736/Error(1200370)

When converting the "Global_Period" to be a Store member.
The Calc Script below is exactly equivalent to the Formula, and run perfectly with no Errors.
"Global_Period" ="ValidAccount";
FIX ("HSP_InputValue", "Local","No_GL_Account", @RELATIVE ("Total_Expenses", 0),
@RELATIVE ("Version",0), @RELATIVE("Scenario",0), @RELATIVE ("Years",0),

"Global_Entity"->"No_GL_Account"->"HSP_InputValue"->"Local"->
@MEMBER(@NAME(@CONCATENATE ("Proj_",@ATTRIBUTESVAL("ProjType"))));
SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK OFF;
ENDFIX
For many reasons we prefer to use the Dynamic Calc Formula for "Global_Period".
As result of some checking I discover that the problem is with the function @ATTRIBUTESVAL,
because the formula has worked fine when I replace the @ATTRIBUTESVAL with a string.
Please help, what is the right way to write the formula in order to make it work.
Thanks

Dear Cameron Lackpour,
Thank you very much, for your reply.
I'd given it a try, but it didn't help.
The purpose of this formula is as follow:
We holds 1's (ones) for allowable combinations of "Project_Type and Accounts", namely, each project type has different list of accounts that are allowed for input.
I need to populate the input 1's to all projects (and their children) according to its "ProjType".
The Data forms has periods in columns, thus by putting "Global_Period" (Hide) as the first column, and use "Suppress Missing rows" - for each project (on the "Page") , the form will show just the allowable Accounts in rows.
(we have around 300 Accounts, 50,000 members in Project dimension and around 25 Types of projects).
Please help.
Thanks!

Simple subtraction operator not working in essbase calc script

My Calc Script
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
fix (Employee)
"NoOfBeginners" = "NoOfStayers" - "TerminationCount" ;
endfix;

Hello
you need to bring all data first to the member Employee. It will be loaded on the individual members of Employee. Assuming the accounts dimension is dense (Database > Properties > second tab)
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
CALC DIM(Employee);
FIX (Employee)
"NoOfBeginners" = "NoOfStayers" - "TerminationCount" ;
ENDFIX
Better would likely be to do this at the lowest level, and then aggregate the result to the top. Now at all positions you have data on NoOfStayers or TerminationCount you will see data in NoOfBeginners. We do not discuss what should happen when one of the two is empty...
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
"NoOfBeginners" = "NoOfStayers" - "TerminationCount" ;
CALC DIM(Employee);
Hope this helps.

Philip

LCM Migration : Calc scripts not available

Hello,
We are using LCM for the first time. It is working correctly, except for calc scripts.
For one Planning application, in Hyperion Shared Services when we collapse the Plan type the folder Calc scripts is empty. But we have calc scripts for this application, we can see them in Essbase Administration services (we use them as well)
Why those calcs scripts won't appear in HSS?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
EPMA is installed but unused.
The modification of the database will be done in last resort. Meanwhile we are going to
- use LCM to export the plan type
- use LCM on development environment to export Attribute Dimensions, Calc Scripts, Rule Files et Subsitution Variables
- modify the xml files to rename the plan type
- delete the plan type misnamed (knowing that the app only have one plan type, I do not know if that's even possible...)
- reimport it with the correct name (and export from the development environment anything that is missing from the LCM of production)
Does it seem a good solution to correct this error ? (maybe import the correct plan type before deleting the problematic one?)

Can not run the calc scripts by mxl, if the first character is Number

I found that if you create the calc scrpt like 1abc.csc. You can not run it by mxl. I tried for times but do not know the reason for that. I found that you can use number in the name of the calc scripts(like abc1.csc, a1bc.csc), but not for the first character(like 1abc.csc).
Below is my mxl scripts:
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
login admin identified by password on localhost;
spool on to 'C:\abc.log' ;
execute calculation sample.basic.1abc;
spool off;
logout;
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
I write a bat file below:
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
D:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\bin\essmsh C:\abc.mxl
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
I can run the scripts if I change the name "1abc" to "abc1"or "a1bc".
Of course I can run this calc in EAS, no matter the name is "1abc" or "abc1".
Anybody find the same problem with me?

I agree, if ever there was a "best practice" to developing scripts (especially when using variables) it is to enclose in single quotes. I actually use double quote, single quote.
execute calculation "'$4'"."'$5'"."'$6'";

IF Statement with multiple ORs in Calc Script

Hello,
May I know what is the best way to script the following statement in a Member formula, not calc script (can't use Fix statements)
If (A->B->C == 1, 3 or 5 AND X->B->C == Value1)
returnvalue1
ELSE
#Missing.
Basically I am looking for syntax for an IF statement where IF one condition is equal to multiple values as mentioned, then the result is this...
Help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Adi

You won't be able to use a comma separated list, you'll have to repeat the combination. A->B->C == 1 or A->B->C == 3 so on and so forth
If you can give a use case scenario or the logic behind it then there are more chances that you might end up with a nicer solution.

The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

Here is a simple calc script to export data.
2 questions:
1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);
Dataexport "file" "," "C:\Exp_AW.txt" "#MI";
EndFix;
Edited by: user9959627 on Sep 7, 2012 11:25 AM

Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.

Assigning a value to a constant in Calc Script

Hi All,
I'm trying to assign a value to a constant in a calc script, but not able to make it work.
I need to get a user entered value from the database such as Indexation Value, and use that many times in my script. Rather than use:
"member1"->"member2"->"member3"->"member4"->"member5"
every time I access the value, I'd like to use:
VAR IndexVal = "member1"->"member2"->"member3"->"member4"->"member5";
and then use IndexVal in the script.
Is this possible?, or do I have to use a substitution variable?
Thanks.

It is possible, but the variable and the calculations that use it must exist in the same Calc Bloack statement (Beginning and ending in parens)

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
One problem is that I can not identify the script because it was not created by me, as I understand this calc is implicit in planning, only runs when you select the option "mass allocate".
The published extract was obtained from the log of the application in which the calculation is running, this was extracted from essbase directory that hosts the application.

OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

Hi,
I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
I have 2 question:
- Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
- Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.

Calc scripts are running slow(all of a sudden)

All of a sudden, for the past few days, we are noticing that all our calc scripts have been running very slow.
The same scripts used to run much faster earlier.
Has anybody seen this kind of scenario?
We did a RAM upgrade on the eas server, and have restarted all services.
Other than that, nothing has changed in our system.
Thanks.

It can be quite common for calcs to slow down over time, but there are some things to do to mitigate this.
1. Are you using Intelligent Calc? All things being equal (a very broad statement in essbase, since things are never equal) if there is more activity by users, it could affect how many blocks are marked dirty. This is probably not your issue, because a properly written calc wouldn't slow down much for this reason. I had to mention it though because I have seen an installation where their calc was 'Calc All' and they used intelligent calc to create the scope of the calc. (bad, very bad)
2. Do you perform DB restructures? (either explicity by Restructuring or by exporting level 0, clearing and import level 0 then agg) If this is not done on a regular basis (regular depends on the usage of the cube) then you could be experiencing fragmentation, which increases the size of the database, increasing run times.
3. Have you just added another fiscal year to the database? More data means bigger database.
RAM upgrade on the EAS server shouldn't affect calc times (unless essbase services are also running on the EAS server, then there might be something to it).
Most of these (and other) issues can be mitigated by applying proper scope to your calcs (Fix statements).
What environment are you running in? Windows or Unix?
New application?
What kind of time increases are we talking about here?

If you remove the substitution variable and replace it with the actual value (whatever that is), does the code work? That will tell you if the issue is around the substitution variable or not.

Peculiar problem with Essbase (Calc Script) - substitution variable / UDAs

This is odd but I have a script like :
VAR iloop=1,break=0;
FIX(<required POV>)
Loop (20,break)
VAR Country_total1,Country_total2,Country_total3;
FIX (@UDA(Entity,@ALIAS(@CONCATENATE("&Country",iloop)))) // &Country1, &Country2 - are substitution variables with UDAs stored as strings
Statements;
/* +<statements for calculating total values.. for that country and stored against variables>+ */
Country_total1=Country_total1+ +<Calculation>+
ENDFIX
/* Second part : Now again the calculations stored in the variables are to be stored against specific entities */
FIX (@UDA(Entity,@ALIAS(@CONCATENATE("&Country",iloop))))
FIX(@ISUDA(Entity,<Check1>)
..... Assign to relevant account
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
ENDLOOP
ENDFIX
Now the problem is that the first fix statement works just fine, but the FIX statement in the 'second part' throws an error
Error: 1200354 Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 66): expected type [STRING] found [EXTVAR] ([iloop]) in function [@CONCATENATE]
If I hard code the 'second part' FIX statement to the substitution variable directly - it works just fine.
How can the first statement work and not the second one ? They are exactly the same.

Glenn, thanks - I hadn't thought of that :).
But it still does not entirely solve my problem (please see my previous post depicting a requirement similar to ours )
- We have lots of countries (50-60+ might be much more) and each country can have multiple entities (3-4 on an average - can go unto 7-8)
- so good guess would be around 200 entities
- So say I have to do it for 2 countries only (two entity types). Then I need 4 variables - 2 for each country ('country 1 ET1 total', 'Country 1 ET2 Total')
When the list is 20 counties - variables become 40 :(.
- Still leaving aside the 40 variables for a bit -
There are subsequent steps of calculations which needs to be done based on these totals (which are exactly the same for all countries) - just that we need the correct totals to begin with and the rest is already stored in the DB
So since I have a different variable for each country - I cannot write one single calculation block to use the variables sequentially one by one (can I ?)
I might have to write a separate calculation block for each of these countries. (20 separate blocks)
That's what I was trying to avoid and simplify with the substitution variable (but is not working)
- Create substitution variables - which would store the alias of the required countries (2/10/20 as many required)
- Loop through these substitution variables - using them one by one
- So I just need one single block of calculation with all the variable in the calc script being reused after each country calculation is done
- and the user need not go into the script, as the only thing that will change are the countries. And he can change it easily through the substitution variable.
