Report Scripts Issue

Hello,
I try to write the report script but cannot find out how to avoide this space-"movement". Is it possible to adjust this with some command? In the manual all the scripts look fine, properly aligned and centered. Cant get that in console. WIDTH, NAMESCOL could not help me. TABDELIMIT supresses many other formatting properties.
Example is below, with a row value 615, which travels from the center of each column.
Thank you
Ole

Hi
it didn't really helped. Let us take a look at the sample.basic. I have the same problems:

I think this script language is some tricky...cant understand well in short time. But we need this script to generate an output for a matrix printer.

Report script issue - showing comma in numbers

Good Morning,
I have a report script that runs on one Essbase cube and produces a datafile to load into a Planning cube via a load rule. The issue is that when I load the datafile into Planning, it says it is loaded successfully but not all of the data loads. I also do not recieve an error log. I have checked the datafile and all of the relevant data is stored. I believe that the issue is that the report script has commas in the numbers. The load rule replaces the comma with a space, but I believe this is causing an issue with the load. Perhaps there is an extra comma somewhere in the file and when the load rule loads the file, it thinks it has finished.
My question is, how do I remove the commas within the numbers in the report script? Below is a portion of the report script.
// This portion of the script captures data at level 2 and generation 9 within the four operating divisions to get all field level data
<LINK (( <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1301008017","Lev2,Entity") or <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1301008019","Lev2,Entity") or <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1301008021","Lev2,Entity")
or <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1301008029","Lev2,Entity")) and <DESCENDANTS ("RC_P1201008065","Gen9,Entity"))

Do you use a { SUPCOMMAS } in your report script? That should suppress all commas in data values.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/rw_supcommas.html
You might also think about SUPALL:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/rw_supall.html
FWIW, I had a Planning app like this last year. The importing of the report script output into Access (oh, the horror) to do moderately intensive mapping and aggregating was...painful. The only cool part was that I was "not allowed to source data from the app" but I could "run any retrieve I wanted so long as security allowed it". Hmm, how is that different? Okay then, report scripts are it. ;)

Report script issue (ASO cube)

Hi All,
I have few report scripts in ASO which I am executing them using Maxl.
When I run the scripts manually and exporting it to console window, I am able to see the data.
When I use Maxl and exporting it to excel file, the log file does not show any error and data is not exported to excel file.
Can anyone help me if they faced a similar problem with report scripts.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rav

There are 8+ scripts and here is one of the similar script. Few are Asymmetric scripts with columns, Year and Months.
I think there is no issue with the script as I have run it many times before but from past two days I am facing the problem as it exports partial data or else no data is exported.
It is not throwing any errors including cartesian product error.

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"))

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?
Thanks,

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 Script Performance Issues

Essbase Nation,
We have a report script that extracts a full 12 months worth of history in 7 minutes. The script that is used to extract the period dimension is as follows:
<Link (<Descendants("Dec YTD") And <Lev("Period",0))
The line above is then changed to pull just one month of data, and now the report script runs for 8 hours.
Please advise as to why the difference in performance.
Thank you.

Report script hanging

Hi Gurus,
The issue is I created two report scripts one using Query designer and the other manually.
I'm creating a report script to export current period data against ASO.
I know the optimization basics against BSO.
Placing last dim fisrt and all!!
coming to the ASO......
my Report script is hanging at the time of validation itself!!!
it is showing when there are some errors in the report script.
I don't see any thing but EAS hanging when i thought that they were no errors.
the idea is to export the level0 data and relaod with #mi values to load new set of data for the current period.
What are the steps to follow to optimize it in ASO.
I know we need to increase agg chache, retrieval buffer, sort retrieval..!!
what next!!
I know we can also use slices to get rid of previous data (deleting old slice) and creating new one.
but currently we are implementing this way!!
suggestions please....
Thanks,
Jeeth

Hi Robb,
I'm in ASO!! so calculations are not possible.
here is one more question!!! may be I need to post it seperately. (but I don't want my questions unanswered :) )!!
I tried to do level 0 export from ASO and it failed telling that the member combinations exceeded 2^64 (this is part of our cube!! want it in column format).
As per my knowledge, the option I have are.
1. chop the report script in to smaller report scripts and run it (may be I need to chop like 100 to 1000 times not sure!!)
2. will MDX query effectively handles the situation (worth trying it)??
3. is the CDF export meant for ASO?
4. StarAnalytics (is this the better option) ??
Pls suggest!!
I will now start writing MDX!!....will all let you know!!
BTW the hanging is because ...I forgot to use logical operator after LINK function... after fixing that the report got validated.
Thanks,
Jeeth

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.

Help on Report Script

Hi All,
We are trying to write a report script to extract Level 0 data. We have an UDA associated with some parent members under a dimension (say "Entity"). Is there any way we can extract the level zero members of parent which are tagged with that UDA??
Something like <LINK (<LEV((<DESCENDANTS("Entity") AND <UDA(Entity, ABCD)),0) where ABCD is the UDA tagged to the parent members.
Please suggest.

user8927833 wrote:
Below are the examples to get data out using report scripts using UDA
<UDA (product, "Sweet")The following example uses the UDA command within a LINK statement to select level 0 products that are sweet:
<LINK(<UDA(product, "Sweet") AND <LEV(product, 0)).
If you are on BSO then you can write data export calc scriptI am pretty sure that neither of these will work based on what the OP described. The first one would only get the members with the UDA, the second, only those at Level 0 with that UDA. I think the issue is that you cannot obtain the hierarchy beneath the UDA members. As timg suggested, push the UDA down to level 0, or figure another way out.

Report script execution is getting failed

Hi ,
We are facing one strange issue while executing the Essbase report script. I am new to the report script and I am not getting how to resolve the issue.
When we are changing the year in code from FY13 to FY14 the script is getting failed however the same script is successfully generating the report if we keep year as FY13 in code.
Could you please let me know where would be the problem , below is the part of the code form Report script.
{MISSINGTEXT "0"} // replace #Missing with 0
<Link ((<LEV("Customer", "Lev0,Customer")) AND ( <IDESC("All Customers")))
<Link ((<LEV("Product", "Lev0,Product")) AND ( <IDESC("All Products")))
<Link ((<LEV("Period", "Lev0,Period")) AND ( <IDESC("YearTotal")))
FY14

Hi ,
I am getting below error message.
"Report Script execution Failed. Please see message panel for details " and in message panel It is not showing any details , just displaying Execute Report script Failed with date and time details.
I also checked that FY14 do exist in the application and no duplicate FY14 member exist in the outline.
Could you please suggest where would be the problem.

Report Script related question

Hi Experts,
I have written a report script in which I am using the {TABDELIMIT} formatting command, to get the output file as tab delimited. I am facing an issue when I use the <REPMBRALIAS command in my script because the output of this command is Member name followed by a space and then alias. This makes my file inconsistent in terms of the delimeter.
Is there any command in report script using which I can get the member name followed description seperated by a tab? My requirement is to take an extract of all level 0 accounts along with their descriptions for all cost centres in a delimited format so that I could further load it into FDM.
Thanks & Regards!

Thanks a loads for the replies everyone! The accounts have been poorly designed or no one would have thought that existing Essbase system would be replaced by HFM one fine day. Earlier data movement of Budget/Forecast data was from cube to cube, so that's usual stuff.
But now with Hyperion Planning to HFM integration, there is a requirement of drilling back to source file as its really difficult for the users to see accounts codes and understand the numbers.
The account codes are inconsistent too, combination of codes, strings with spaces and what not. It's time to create a new report writer command!
Thanks & Regards!

Report Script is Failing while Zooming in 55K+ member dimension

Hi,
we have a ASO cube and there is one dimension called PART NUMBER...which is having nearly 56,000 members...we wrote a report script to zoom in all the members under PART NUMBER along with other dimensions..
the problem we are facing is when we execute the script by removing the line
<DIMBOTTOM "Part Number"; the report script is executing fine and the final result includes 5200 rows, but when we try to execute the report script with <DIMBOTTOM "Part Number" , its getting failed.
any idea why its happening? is any limit on the number of records which the report script can pull? or is it related to any memory issues? do we need to change any configuration file settings???
Any help is much appreciated...
Thanks,
Sunil

Report Script and UTF8 in 9.3.1

Hi guys, I have an issue with report scripts and UTF8 in 9.3.1.
Basically my problem is that if I run the RS from EAS, the output is a txt file in UTF8.
If I run it through Esscmd, the output is a ANSI txt.
I need to info to load a non UTF Cube.
I use English/Latin1 locale, the same settings I used in 9.2. In fact is the same RS, but now it acts weird.
I have this problem in 2 different clients using 9.3.1.
Any suggestion?
The Essbases servers are Non unicode

Thanks, I know that they should export to the local format of the client. That is the weird stuff, because, as I understand the ouput should be the same if I run it through EAS and if I use Esscmd from the same machine.
When I used MaxL it also export in UTF8. I have only tried MaxL through EAS, so I don't know if I run it through the command line if it will export in UTF8.
We use Non unicode basically because we have had some problems with Planning and some character set in previous releases and to keep it simple.
