Report Script - Bottom Members

Hello,I am trying to write a script which will only print out all bottom members of a dimension.I could not find any thing to do that.Can some one help me?Thank you!Bob

You should also check out the LINK command to combine functions. For example using DIMBOT and DESC to return the level 0 members beneth a specific member.- Jay---------------------------Jay NishSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity SystemsEmail: [email protected]: www.claritysystems.com

Report script with attribute members

 In a report script, is there a way to output the attribute members associated with a base mbr. For example, the base member I'm interested in is item codes which is in a sparse dimension with 500k members. Each code has been tagged with 5 attribute members of buyer, warehouse, vendor, product line, and date of last receipt. Desired output is: Item Code, Buyer, warehouse, vendor, product, and date of last receipt. Right now I don't care about data at any intersections, rather I just want to output the various attributes associated with each item code. I tried doing dimbottom on items, buyers, warehouse, vendor, etc, but as expected the report would not run. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Maybe you can use the Outline Extractor, you can download itsomewhere on this website...

Report script command to get all Level 0 members of a given member

Hi,
Is there any Report script command to get all Level 0 members of a given member (Parent)? (very similar to @RELATIVE (mbrName, 0) in Calc Scripts).
<DIMBOTTOM gives all the level 0 members in the dimension.
There is a command called
<LEAVES mbrName
This works only for ASO.
Is there anything similar for BSO?
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ethan.

from my blog on report scripts at
http://glennschwartzbergs-essbase-blog.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Third, there is a command to stay away from, its DimBottom. [edited] Like @CURRMBR in calc scripts, DimBottom is one of those commands that is very slow. If you use Query designer to create a report, it uses a better way. It uses the link command. In sample.basic to get all level 0 products it uses
<Link ((<LEV("Product", 0)) AND ( <DESC("Product")))

Removing Prefix of members/alias in report Scripts

I need to remove the pre fixes of all members/alias of a couple of dimensions through report script.( no need to modify the outline)
For example Costcenters start with C_ , which needs to be removed when the report is created( I know everybody is going to ask why it's not used already in the alias, but there was a requirement for the prefix)
I am using {RENAME } for specific members, but there are quite a few members with the prefix and I want to know if there's a way to remove them through report scripts
Thanks.

Another alternative frequently used, especially with report scripts is the use of alternate alias tables. There is the option to add up to, last time I checked, up to 8 alias tables. Most functionality is based on the "Default" alias table, but Report Scripts allows you select an alternate alias table by using "<OUTALTSELECT" by dimension. If you set the members aliases in the alternate table "Real_Cost_Center", then you could do...
<OUTALTSELECT ("Real_Cost_Center")
As a bonus, the usage of this alternate alias table means you can actually load data using the member name or any one of the aliases across all alias tables. The main "downfall" is the uniqueness requirement still applies to the alternate alias tables. Alternate alias tables are also frequently used when using any of the BI suite, where a given view/report/etc would benefit from short names.
Just another alternative...
Good Luck!

How to maximize report script performance

I have a report script that takes a while to run. Basically the script is zooming into 3 sparse dimensions and 1 dense dimension. The dense dimension has 732 stored members. The sparse dimensions have 92, 280 and 576 members respectively. when I did the zoom bottom in excel, it only took me about 4 minutes total to zoom in through the whole thing. But when I did it in the report script, it ran for about half an hour and then I had to killed it. I tried to change the order of the rows in the report script to match the zoom order in my excel retrieval, but that didn't help. i remember from the bootcamp that the report script zoom in order should follow the hourglass or something. i can't remember exactly which dimension should go first though, was it the biggest dense and then the smallest sparse and then the biggest sparse dimensions? here is how the script looks like: {Rowrepeat} {SUPFEED} {Pagelength 10000} {Supemptyrows} {Supzerorows} {supcolheading} <ROW ("REV AND COST CENTERS", ENTITY, ACCOUNTS, ALLOCATION) <LINK (<descendants ("local currency entities") or <descendants (historical) or <children(celerops) OR <CHILDREN (CRAOPS) OR <DESC (ONLINEOPS) OR <DESC (PARACELOPS) OR <DESC (DSCIEOPS) OR <DESC (DSERVOPS) OR <DESC (EXCAPOPS) or <CHILDREN (GENERAL) OR AND <DIMBOT (ENTITY)) <LINK (<descendants (statistical) or <descendants ("net income") or <DESCendants ("pre-assessment expenses") AND <LEV(Accounts,0)) <LINK (<DESC("SGA") OR <DESC ("R&D AND ENG.") OR <DESC ("OTHER CC") AND <LEV ("REV AND COST CENTERS",0)) <LINK (<descendants ("direct") or <descendants ("indirect") or <descendants ("manual indirect") or <children ("allocation") and <lev(allocation,0)) ! any suggestions would be appreciated. thx.

For improving the retreival performance put the most densedimension on top followed by least dense dimension members,followedby most queried sparse dimension members followed by least sparsedimension members.....For improving calcualtion performance theorderof sparse dimension members changes while that of densedimension members remain same. Other thing which you can do is to increase the size ofretreival buffer.

Essbase reports do not put row headers on (Headers for the dimension members from the <rows command).
The best I have been able to do in the past was to have a file with the header info I wanted and after the report was created concatinate the header file with the report file using the Dos copy command.

Issue with report Script. DECIMAL option not working properly

Hi All,
One of my report scripts has the option { decimal n } set. Now I am getting this to work only for account members which has a '%' symbol in the name. For all other accounts, data is being exported as a whole number even though the cube has decimal values. This is an ASO cube. Any thoughts?

Report script taking too long to export data

Hello guys,
I have a report script to export data out of a BSO cube. The cube is 200GB in size. But the exported text file is only 10MB. It takes around 40 mins to export this file.
I have exported data of this size in less than a minute from other DBs. But this one is taking way too long for me.
I also have a calc script for the same export but that too is taking 20 mins which is not reasonable for a 10MB export.
Any idea why a report script could take this long? Is it due to huge size of database? Or is there a way to optimize the report script?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the input guys.
My DATAEXPORT is taking half the time than my report script export. So yeah it is much faster but still not reasonable(20 mins for one month data) compared to other DBs that are exported very quick.
In my calc I am just FIXING on level 0 members for most of the dimensions against the specific period, year and scenario. I have checked the conditions for an optimal report script, I think mine is just fine.
The outline has like 15 dimensions in it and only two of them are dense. Do you think the reason might be the huge size of DB along with too many sparse Dims?
I appreciate your help on this.
Thanks

Report Script- Performance Issue

Hi,
I ran this report script and it is taking around 2 hours to complete. Is there any possiblity to better tune this script. Please advice me where else can we better tune this.

Goal
How to optimize Hyperion Essbase Report Scripts?
Solution
To optimize your Report follow the suggested guidelines below:
1. Decrease the amount of Dynamic Calcs in your outline. If you have to, make it dynamic calc and store.
2. Use the <Sparse command at the beginning of the report script.
3. Use the <Column command for the dense dimensions instead of using the Page command. The order of the dense dimensions in the Column command should
be the same as the order of the dense dimension in the outline. (Ex. <Column (D1, D2)).
4. Use the <Row command for the sparse dimensions. The order of the sparse dimensions in the Row command should be in the opposite order of the sparse
dimension in the outline. (Ex. <Row (S3, S2, S1)). This is commonly called sparse bottom up method.
5. If the user does not want to use the <Column command for the dense dimensions, then the dense dimensions should be placed at the end of the <Row command.
(Ex. <Row (S3, S2, S1, D1, D2)).
6. Do not use the Page command, use the Column command instead.

Report Scripts - Please Can Some One Help Me

Hello Gurus,
Is it possible to display 2 members of the same dimension in adjacent columns using Report Scripts? if not what is the best available option?
Consider this Sample Outline
+Product
+-Cofee
+---Cafined
+-------1100
+-------1200
+---Decafined
+-------1300
+-------1400
+-Soda
+---Coke
+-------1500
The format of the desired report is
======= Jan Feb Mar
1100 Cofee 8 8 8
1200 Cofee 8 8 8
1300 Cofee 7 7 7
1400 Cofee 7 7 7
1500 Soda 6 6 6
================
Please Can some one help me in this regard!
Thanks In Advance

If I remember correctly when I wanted to do something similar I imported the report with the level 0 members into SQL Server and then joined on a mapping table (was a parent/child table in our case) to get the other column. In our situation we already had the mapping table readily available because this is where the dimension was built from!

Issue with the supshare Report Script Command

Hi All,
I have created a report script to extract the Level0 data for the members of the accounts dimension and It does work fine and the performance is also good. However I have a challenge here. The shared members are repeating and therefore I used “<supshare” command in order to avoid the repetition. It does work, however there is an issue here.
For eg, I am trying to retrieve the data as below and they are level0 members. The NetExpense is a “Level0” member and also a “shared member”, However the original “Net Expense” comes under Level3 and since I have used <Supshare and asked to retrieve only Lev0 accounts it is therefore ignoring the “Net Expenses” for all the Dept and product intersections. Hope I am clear and not confused? Is there anything i could change or add to retrieve the correct data.
Would anyone be able to help me on this issue.
<supshare “Lev0 Accounts”
Data Retrieval Ex : DeptA  NetExpense No Product  1200
Thanks

Thanks Glen. I tried the below link statement. This is an example. My accounts dimension has 8 childern (A to H) out of which 4 are level 0 members ("B"to "E") and the remaining have so many members underneath. The member"H" is where my confusion starts, it has 4 children (Ex 1,2,3,4) and all are shared members. Here i need not worry about children 2 and 3 since they have no data. Children 4 is a level 0 and a shared member, however the Children 4 main location is also located at Level 0. Therefore when i use supshare this appears only once. one problem is solved.
Now coming to Children 1, this is a Level 0 for parent "H", however this is also a child of "A" and this by itself has levels underneath. So this Sup share is not allowing me to retrieve the data Child 1 though it is level 0 and since it is shared member.
This case how do i modify the report in such a way i get all level 0 data of my accounts and suppress shared members. Hope i have not condused...
<ROW (Accounts)
{ROWREPEAT}
<LINK(<DESCENDANT ("A", "Lev0,Accounts"))
"B", "C", "D", "E"
<LINK(<DESCENDANT ("F", "Lev0,Accounts"))
<LINK(<DESCENDANT ("G", "Lev0,Accounts"))
<LINK(<DESCENDANT ("H", "Lev0,Accounts"))

Use of Essbase substitution variables in filename of a MaxL report script

Hey guys.
Is there a way that I can embed the value of one or more Essbase substitution variables in the filename of a report script in a MaxL command?
I'm running a report script that uses sub. vars for entities and accounts and based on which of those members are set in the variables I want the filenames to include those member names. I'm looking for a way to include the &varName in the filename using the export database command.
THANKS!

Not really.
If you want to do a lot of string mangling in a script outside of the report script, you can use DISPLAY VARIABLE:
MAXL> display variable CurMo;
application database variable value

Creating a range with Substitution Variables for Report Script

Is it possible to create a range with substituion varables for use in a report script. For example instead of listing "Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" in the report script can I use a sub varaible like Jan:Apr that will list them all out?

while I have not had luck with ranges in report scripts, others have. You could have a substitution variable the is "Jun" "Jul " "Aug" or whatever you want the members to be. and it will replace jusr fine

How to output the outline parent-child relationship using a report script?

I'd like to extract the outline's dimension members with it's parent-child relationship using a report script. Anybody can provide a sample script? Thanks.
Example:
DimensionX
-----MemberX
----------ChildX
Output:
Dimension X MemberX
MemberX ChildX
Edited by: obelisk on Jan 11, 2010 5:16 PM

Sorry a report script won't do it. You have two options
1. Use at Essbase Outline API to walk the outline and get it for you
2. Use the Outline extractor available from Applied Olap (it is a free download). It can be run interactively of as a bat file.
Frankly, I would rather use 2 since I don't have to code it myself

How to output the member UDA as a column in Report Script?

I tagged my account dimension members according to its classification instead of using an attribute dimension.
I wanted to use the assigned UDA for data loading purpose (select/reject records in rule file.
Please let me know the syntax to show UDA as a column in the report script.
Thanks.

It sounds like what you need is an alias table for loading purposes, rather than a UDA tied to the members.
Like Glenn said, you can't output the UDA in a report, but you can either output an alias or use the alias in the destination database. In this case, I'd use a new alias table rather than the default alias, something specific for the purpose.
