Report script in Essbase

Hi All,
I have to write a report script from a calc script where data is exported into a file .
There is a fix and relative function in calc sript .
I am new to report report script .
Can anyone help me here .
-Tx

You mean you're converting a DATAEXPORT calc script to a report script?
You could start here: Examples of Report Scripts
The FIX and RELATIVE functions are restricting the output of the DATAEXPORT to specific members; the equivalents in report script language are going to be Member Selection and Sorting Commands. <LEAVES (for ASO - I'm taking a guess that you're doing this as part of a BSO->ASO conversion) or <DESCENDANTS possibly, but hard to tell without more detail.
Posting the actual calc script would probably help.

Report script - including info which is not in Essbase

Hi all of you experts. Here is a challenge for me. Is it also a challenge for you...oris this just piece of cake?? I need to produce a report script against Essbase, where some ofthe data does not exist in Essbase. I am aware that it may be thebest solution to extract from Essbase what is available, and addthe rest using a different tool. However, I have been tasked withtrying to create a report script tha can support the requirementsdepicted in the following table. The output needs to be in columnformat to be loaded into DB2. The output need to be a semicolonseparated text file. Questions:1) How do I add a column with hardcoded text or no data (Ifpossible)2) How do I add a column with an automatic incrementing no(probably need to hardcode)3) How do I create at semicolon separated text file as output(if not jus hardcoding semicolon columns)4) How do I read system data and time for timestamps5) How do I force a specific date time format (as differentformats are required in different columns)6) How do I force the decimal point to be (.) rather than (,)even though the Danish settings normally use (,) Is this at all a sensible thing to attempt to do, and is it atall possible?

Essbase report script in ODI procedure/variable

Hi,
Is there a way to call an existing report script in essbase in an ODI procedure/variable?
BEST!
Edited by: 867760 on Sep 1, 2011 2:39 PM

Yes you can use the essbase Java API and create a procedure either using Java, Jython or Groovy.

Report Scripts Output

Hi, Is there any way to display the output membernames with double quotes using Report Script in Essbase. ie: "Actual" "Sales" "Market" "Qtr 1" "Qtr 3" "Qtr 3" "Qtr 4" #Missing Thanks Osvaldo

Hi, <QUOTEMBRNAMES option will help you.

Report script export 0 KB file from BSO application

HI, I am try to export budget data from classic planning application using report script in essbase. Report script is not giving any erros. After successful execution it is creating 0kb file. I am able to export data for the same combination using Calculation script. But, report script is not giving any output. I need to export data using report script only. Can any one help on this.

Can you post the calculation script too?
{SUPMISSINGROWS}
<PAGE(SCENARIO,VERSION,CURRENCY,YEAR,CUSTOME3)
BUDGET FINAL Local FY13
<ROW(ENTITY,ACCOUNT,CUSTOME1,CUSTOME2,PERIOD)
<LINK(IDESCENDANTS(ENTITY) AND <LEV(ENTITY,0))
<LINK(IDESCENDANTS(ACCOUNT) AND <LEV(Account,0))
<LINK(IDESCENDANTS(CUSTOME1) AND <LEV(CUSTOME1,0))
<LINK(IDESCENDANTS(CUSTOME2) AND <LEV(CUSTOME2,0))
JUL
<COLUMN(HSP_RATES)
HSP_INPUTVALUE
Why do you want to use LINK if you are pulling all level 0 <LEV will do the trick, unless you are targeting a specific parent other than the root.

To View Calc Scripts and Report scripts via MaxL or Esscmd

Hi all,
Can somebody tell how to read any calc script or report script in any database with the help of MaxL or Esscmd?
For example if there is any .csc or .rep file, I want to read the context of the file i.e. the script that is written in the file. Is it possible via MaxL or Esscmd?
Does Hyperion supports this functionality?
Regards,
James

You know that calc and report scripts are text files, right?
They are typically stored in the database directory, although that is not a requirement; they can be stored in other client-accessible directories and run from there.
I haven't done it in ages, but is also possible to pass calc and report scripts to Essbase via the API. I can't remember if the API will let you enumerate calc scripts from the database directory. I sort of strongly think yes. Someone who is more knowledgeable will either correct or refute that statement pretty soon. :)
If you want to list the objects (calcs or reports): http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/techref.htm
A few things that you can do with MaxL re calc scripts:
1) execute calculations, including a string that you pass through MaxL: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/excalc.htm
2) delete calculations: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/drpcalc.htm
3) list the calcs: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/dispclc.htm
4) create the calc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/crecalc.htm
Report scripts are sort of a poor relation in MaxL (and were in Esscmd as well). You can basically only run a report as kind of export: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/exprt.htm
So, I think it's mostly there, especially the display object command. BTW, if MaxL can list it, the API can too -- how else does MaxL work?

Optimize report script having many Link statements

Hi,
I have a report script in Essbase which uses around 10 <Link statements to extract level 1 entity members from decendants of specific entity members and around 8 <Link statements to extract level 0 account members from decendants of specific account members. I observed that this report script takes almost 10 to 12 hours to execute. After some investigation I found out that ideally a report script should have maximum 5 <Link statements defined; in case if there are more than 5 <Link statements the report script would run very slow.
Following is excerpt from my report script:
<PAGE ("Scenario", "Year")
<ROW("Entity", "Account", "Custom1", "Custom2")
<COLUMN("Period")
For Entity:
<LINK((<LEV("Entity","Lev1,Entity")) AND (<IDESC("Ent001")))
<LINK((<LEV("Entity","Lev1,Entity")) AND (<IDESC("Ent002")))
<LINK((<LEV("Entity","Lev1,Entity")) AND (<IDESC("Ent003")))
For Account:
Link ((<LEV("Account", "Lev0,Account")) AND (<IDESC("Acc001")))
Link ((<LEV("Account", "Lev0,Account")) AND (<IDESC("Acc002")))
Link ((<LEV("Account", "Lev0,Account")) AND (<IDESC("Acc003")))
Could you please help me to fine tune/optimize this report script and suggest an alternate way to write this script without <Link statements so that I could run this report script faster?
Thanks in advance!
AK

You state 10 but show six. Which is it?
As for performance, if you make it just one Entity dimension LINK statement, is it fast?
Following on that, have you tried breaking the report into multiple report scripts? If they are individually faster, you could just concatenate the output files through an OS batch script. The thought of 10 individual report scripts (although I suppose we are potentially talking about more than that but I can't tell based on the information you've provided) could be complicated, but it might be worthwhile from a prototyping perspective.
Have you tried joining them together with a "!" statement. <--What that means is you write a report script and terminate it with a !. Then write another, similar report script and stick a ! on it. And again, and again, etc. Essbase reads to the ! and then goes to the next report script.

Create/ run MDX script on Essbase from FDM

Hi there,
Can anybody help me by creating and executing an MDX query from an import script in FDM?
I've managed to create and run a report script on Essbase but the larger the cube the slower the report script.
Therefore i was thinking about MDX.
But before trying for days myself i was hoping someone might have experience in this and is willing to share.
Thanks in advance,

Hmm, why does the word "Platypus" keep running through my head?
Bob, I'm trying to do the same thing (create a .app to launch a unix application) and I also ran into the aesthetic issue of the spinning gear in the menu bar for the entire time the app was running. Since the unix app I'm running is a Usenet news reader, that spinning gear would be a long-term distraction. I'll check out Platypus, but I and probably the others in this thread are trying to learn how to do this stuff ourselves to further our OS X knowledge, not merely to solve this one problem.
So with that being said, does anyone know if there's a way to create an Automator "Run Shell Script" action with that spinning gear in the menu bar suppressed? You know, besides using Platypus.

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

Substitution Variable in Essbase Report Script

Hi All,
In my report script I want to use Essbase Substitution Variable, just as an replacement to Text field... I am using following syntax:
{STARTHEADING
TEXT 0 "Bud"
&StartMonthNo
TEXT 0 "12"
ENDHEADING}
Where StartMonthNo is 1 ... I don't want to add this variable as some member in Essbase, just need to display Heading as
Bud
1
12
Using above syntax, it is just showing
Bud
12
I have tried many syntax like Text 0 &StartMonthNo or Text 0 "&StartMonthNo" But nothing seems to be working...
Please lemme know if I am missing something here .. Please give me some suggestions ...
-CJ

Hi,
Your thinking is sound and creative, however due to the way they work you can't define a subvar as a concatenation of other subvars because it will be interpreted literally. e.g.
sv1 = hello
sv2 = world
sv3 = &sv1 + &sv2
sv3 interpreted by essbase will be: &sv1 + &sv2 and throw an error.
(If you think about it, concatenating two 255 char subvars into another would still exceed the character liimit.)
So,
if you want to concatenate several long subvars, just define them and mash them together:
&sv1 &sv2 = hello world

Error executing essbase report script using maxl

Hi,
V 11.1.2.1 (64 bit) on windows
An essbase report script errors when it is run from maxl. When I run it directly in maxl the error is
Error - 1030205 - Client directory does not exisit: ...EssbaserServer\<instance>\client
When I run it within EAS the error is
Client directory does not exisit: EPMSystem11R1/common/EssbaseRTC-64/11.1.2.0client
Unexpected essbase error 1030205
The client is installed but the folder locations do not exist. There is a calc script which does a data export which works fine. The essbase report can be manually executed without a problem. This worked fine in 9.3.1.
Here is the script (without actual names)
export database 'app'.'database' using report_file 'AReport' to data_file 'c:\\Output.txt';
I would appreciate any help. I have looked at the knowledge base and can't find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
I would appreciate

Hi,
The issue is now resolved.
The client folder must be created where the EAS service is, not Essbase. Once this was done the report script could not be found. In discussion over the phone with Oracle we did some testing, as they use a non distributed environment. If you use 'using report file' you need to specify the path to the report file i.e.
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem\EssbaseServer\<instance>\app\<app name>\<database>\report.rep'
The .rep must also be included.
If you use 'using server report file' you only need to specify the report name, without the extension, and the data file path. You specify the path as normal i.e. D:\nathan.txt but you can get away with simply a file name such as 'nathan.txt'. In a distributed environment this exports to the server where the EAS service is to
<drive>:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem
When Oracle support did this it went to the Essbase bin folder as it was a non distributable environment.
The subtle differences between 9.3.1 and 11.1.2.1......
Thanks to all those who contributed.

Essbase report script match pattern on alias

report scriptHi,
I need some help on essbase report script. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to use the essbase report script command "<MATCH" so that I can match for a pattern on the alias name as opposed to the member name. I have searched the Internet with no luck. Maybe someone in this community knows how to do this. If you can reply with a specific example that would help me out as I am very visual.
Thanks in advance.

You can use <REPALIAS, e.g., for Sample.Basic:
<REPALIAS "Product"
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
Diet Cola
(24,761)
Diet Root Beer 25,185,158,741
Diet Cream
23,703,677,612
Diet Cola
(24,761)
Diet Root Beer 25,185,158,741
Diet Cream
23,703,677,612
Diet Drinks
48,888,811,592
Using <OUTALT on its own (confusingly, at least as I read the documentation) continues selecting by alias, but displays member name:
<OUTALT
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
100-20
(24,761)
200-20
25,185,158,741
300-30
23,703,677,612
100-20
(24,761)
200-20
25,185,158,741
300-30
23,703,677,612
Diet
48,888,811,592
Without either, the MATCH only looks at member names:
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
Diet
48,888,811,592
