Creating dimensions using MaxL commands

Is there anyway to create one or more dimensions using MaxL commands?
Also setting their parameters like "Accounts/Time", "Label Only" and "Dense/Sparse"?

Here's a sample from the documentation:
import database sample.basic dimensions
from data_file '/data/calcdat.txt'
using rules_file '/data/rulesfile.rul'
on error append to '/logs/dimbuild.log';
Check: import dimensions in the MaxL part of the technical reference you will find more examples.

Refresh Security using MaxL command

Hi All,
When trying to refresh security from shared services using the below maxl command:
alter user 'henkej03' sync security with all application;
getting the below error:

Can anyone help me on the above.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks guys...
but my HSS and LDAP was up and running, I think there was temporary problem in network ... today I got error...
ERROR - 1051514 - Analytical Services failed to get roles for users and group
s for applications during refresh/login sync/user sync from Shared Services Serv
er with Error [Cannot find application with ID ESBAPP:bopelim1_AHQLUBNT118_2].
tried to use "resync all.." but failed...
Checked in HSS and app was not registerd..to HSS :) .. so regiseted with HSS and User was refreshed succesfully !
In case you encounter the "ERROR - 1051514", check if the app is registered to HSS or not?
have a nice time !!!

Rename Dimension Member using Maxl Command

I have a requirement to rename many account dimension members in the outline. Is there a way to do this via MAXL script instead of renaming each account manually via EAS/AAS? If it is doable, please provide an example how I would go about doing this?
Thanks,
Francisco

There is not a way to do it in MaxL. MaxL does not do outline manipulation.
are you changing the alias or the member names? If you want to change the alias, then you could do it in a load rule. If you want to change the membe names it is more complicated especially if oyu want to retain data. The best way would be to use the api to read members from a table with old and new names, but you would have to write the api sequence.
There are other ways using alias tables where you have a second cube and reverse the alias and member names. export the data from the original cube and load into the second cube.

MaxL Command : ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1007083

Hi,
I have created outline here I have created one dimension i.e. Account
and also created Rule file as per databse outline. It is valid
successfully.
Now I have to load dimension by using MaxL command.
I have created Account.csv
within that I have take :
Account->xyz
xyz->abc members.
I am loading dimension by using following statement:
import database PLAN.PLANDB dimensions from data_file 'D:\Practice\Account
.csv' using rules_file 'C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseSer
ver\essbaseserver1\app\PLAN\PLANDB\plan.rul' on error append to 'C:\Oracle\Middl
eware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\app\PLAN\Log\plan.log';
So I getting following error:
OK/INFO - 1053012 - Object [PLANDB] is locked by user [admin@Native Directory].
OK/INFO - 1053012 - Object [52772261] is locked by user [admin@Native Directory
ERROR - 1007083 - Dimension build failed. Error code [1090003]. Check the ser
ver log file and the dimension build error file for possible additional info..
OK/INFO - 1053013 - Object [52772261] unlocked by user [admin@Native Directory]
ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1007083.
OK/INFO - 1053013 - Object [PLANDB] unlocked by user [admin@Native Directory].
and also in log file I getting message like:
\\Column 1 Ignored; No DimBuild Dimension (3325)
\\Column 3 - Invalid Dimension
So could you tell me why I getting this types of error.
what is the meaning of log file information i.e. "Invalid dimension."

Hi,
As per the error message, there was a mismatch of the dimension tagging or incorrect rules. Did you try to build the dimension/members using EAS Console?
Take a simple sources file and rules file and re-build the dimension.
You can try the following:
1. Launch EAS Console and login using Administrative user credentials
2. Connect to Essbase Server using administrative user credentials
3. Create a test Application & Database say TestApp & TestDb
4. Open the outline in the edit mode and create a dimension "Measures"
5. Open the notepad and Create a source file as:
Profit Margin Sales
Profit Margin COGS
Save the file in the c:\ drive as Sales.txt
6. In EAS Console, right-click on database and select create Rules File and import the Source file
7. Set the Field Properties.
8. Build the dimension and check if the members are added to the Measures dimension
9. Delete the members under Measures and then try the MaxL Script.
Hope it helps....

How to display complete filter string using maxl.

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve the strings for all the filters in an application which have read access enabled. Now, I have tried using MaxL command "Display Filter row". But, it only returns the first one or two members in the string but not the complete string. Please let me know if anyone finds a solution for the same.
TIA,
Vamsikrishna.

you most likely need to use the Set Display Column Width in the MaxL statement. by default it is only 20 characters and my might need hundreds.
You might try set column_width 200; and see if it is wide enough

Using substitution variable with multiple values in Maxl Command

Hi All,
Is there any option to use multiple values in 1 substitution variable and use them in a Maxl command.
alter database $app_name.$db_name clear data in region '{CrossJoin(CrossJoin(CrossJoin({StrTOMbr(&Months)},{XXX, YYY}),{StrTOMbr(&CURYR)}), {ZZZ})}'physical;
In the above case
Maxl is not working if I have multiple months in &Months Substitution variable.
Let me know if there is an alternate option to implement this.
Thanks
Sathish

What is the value of &Months?
If you put that exact value into the code, does it work?

HOW can i delete the members in dim using MAXL

Hi All,
I want to delete the all the memebers for dimensions before reloading so how ca n i write the maxl script for this to delete the members in the dimensions
plz can any one help on this its very urjent ,
It would be appriciated ...
Thanks

There is no way to alter an outline with MaxL, MaxL is an admin language for processing. The only option, as Glenn mentioned is to issue the reset all command to blow away everything. But you probably don't want to do that, so instead you use Maxl to run a series of load rules to achieve your goal.
Load rules do not have functionality to delete outline members, it does have a feature however that allows you to remove unspecified members from a dimension build, so when loading in your members, if existing members are not in the import, they are removed. So Glenn's point was to create a source file with a single dummy member. When you load using "Remove Unspecified" it will delete all the members and just keep the one dummy member. Then when you go back a second time and actually load the real members, the dummy member will be removed and you will have a clean dim with only your new members. This is a work around solution, but it's what a lot of people do.
Now if you have 15 dimensions you need to do this with, you might want to take a slightly different approach. I'm assuming 15 dimensions is probably an ASO cube and this method will be preferable to avoid outline fragmentation.
Create a copy of your outline with all the base dimensions that do not change intact. For the ones that do change, just have your dim root member. Consider this your starting outline template and save a copy of it. When you want to rebuild your cube have a server process that takes the copy of your template outline and copies it over your existing outline file in the directory structure. Then run your load rules to import your new members.

Clear the data region using Maxl

Hi,
I am trying to clear the data region using Maxl query, I am getting error like: Dynamic members not allowed in data clear region specificaion.
+alter database 'PGSASO'.'ASOPGS' clear data in region 'CrossJoin(CrossJoin({[Actual]},{[FY11]}),{[Inputs].Levels( 0 ).Members})';+
(Inputs( not a dynamic member, parent of this meber is a dynamic) comes under Account dim).
I have tried the below code also(Syntax error in input MDX queryon line 1 at token ',').
alter database 'PGSASO'.'ASOPGS' clear data in region 'CrossJoin([Inputs].Levels(0), CrossJoin({[ACT]},{[FY11]}))';
Can anyone do let me know if there is any syntax error or alternate function would be available for clearing level-0 members/descendants under Dynamic parent...
Thanks,
Bharathi

There is no syntax error in your statement. The problem is you input dimension(I guess) has some members with formulas on them and the clear statement does not allow those members to be in the clear. Ther ware a couple of ways around it. seperate out the members with formulas under a different parent and then modify the crossjoin to only pick up the level zero members that are not in that parent or you could put a UDA on formula members and use the exclude command to exclude anything with that UDA

Automate start/stop essbase service using Maxl or batch

Hi - how would my batch or Maxl file look like if I wanted to come out with a script to stop and start my essbase service? The reason why i am doing this is because I wanted to stop the essbase service, so that I can archive the essbase.log file.
I am on essbase 7.0, I have read on some postings that stopping and starting the essbase service can potentially corrupt the sec file. If so, then is there any other way of archive the essbase.log file so that it does not grow to megs.
Thanks.

Hi,
You could use the following maxl
alter system shudown;
it may be useful to stop all the applications first e.g.
alter system unload application all;
or you can use windows command line
net stop essbaseservicename
and to start
net start essbaseservicename
Another method to backup the essbase.log is to make a copy of the log then use maxl to delete the log.
alter system clear logfile;
Cheers

Execute MaxL command througth ODI and encrypt password

Hi
I am looking for a solution to not use plain text password for my Maxl command in ODI.
Anyone know how should I do that?
Up to now, I found nothing.
Thanks
Alain

Hi,
Here is a example of encrypting the login credentials in a maxl scipt.
First run something like this from a command prompt
essmsh -gk >> c:\temp\encryptKeys.txt
This will create a text file with the public and private keys e.g.
e.g.
Public Key for Encryption: 5407,1453704157
Private Key for Decryption: 406488703,1453704157
Now say you have a maxl file called login.mxl like
login admin password on localhost;
logout;
You can encrypt it by calling
essmsh -E c:\temp\login.mxl PUBLIC KEY
So for this example it would be
essmsh -E c:\temp\login.mxl 5407,1453704157
This will create an file called login.mxls with encrypted login details e.g.
login $key 6343689380045143584028576355606972733930 $key 1468602100275634090163724540502857635560 on localhost;
logout;
Now to execute the file you need to use the command
essmsh -D c:\temp\login.mxls PRIVATE KEY
so in this example
essmsh -D c:\temp\login.mxls 406488703,1453704157
Cheers

Display session maxL command is hanging

Hi All,
I am using maxL editor in EAS console to execute the display session command.My requirement is to know the number of Active sessions in to a Essbase Application.
I execute the following maxL command
display session on database <APPLICATION_NAME>.<DB_NAME>;
But when I execute this statement it is not executed rather EAS console is totally hanged.I tried it using another essbase server but result remains the same.
I am able to execute other maxL commands like "display applicaion all" without any problem.
I even tried to execute maxL using java API but even there it is hanging.
I there anything I am missing or anything I can do to execute the command.
will really appreciate quick response.
Thanks,
Abhishek

For me the solution was in the essbas.cfg: NO_HOSTNAME_LISTCONNECT TRUE
Help says:
NO_HOSTNAME_LISTCONNECT Configuration Setting
When using the display session MaxL statement to view active login sessions, specifies whether to convert the IP address of the client computers that are logged into Essbase to the computer’s hostname.
When set to TRUE, IP addresses are not converted to hostnames, which improves the performance of the display session MaxL statement. [7314737]
Hope it helps,

Run Maxl command in fdm

Hi,
Is it possible to execute any maxl commands in FDM. If so could you pls let me know how to do it.
Thanks,

Hi,
I tried executing a sample batch script and it working fine, but then I just added the essmsh E:\test.msh in the batch file and run FDM.
Its not working. The maxl file is not working. I used shell.run to execute the bat file.
The batch file is having the essmsh (calling a maxl )
Can you let me know where I am going wrong.
And pls help me to know the API functions to be used to execute the calc scripts.

Maxl command to logout users for particular application

Hello Everybody,
Can you please help me on the below question.
I have essbase 11.1.2.2 and I have a maxl script which does copy of applications A to B for maintenance, but during this process, the script logs out all the users from the system even though users dont access to A and B since they working on other applications eg., C, D and E.
Currently I see the below command for logging out all users in the maxl script.
"alter system logout session all force"
Can you please let me know how I can logout user accessing only particular applications/database ( example A and B) in maxl script instead of logging out all the users from Essbase.
Thanks for your help in advance.

You can use...
alter system logout session on application A force
You will need to use one command per application. Further details in the documentation for the same command (alter system): http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_altsys.html In particular, see the section titled "Session Specification" in the notes at the end.

Maxl command that differentiates ASO and BSO?

I want to differentiate between the ASO and BSO db in Essbase(9.3.1) using some MAXL command.
Do we have some MAXL command that shows the property of Databases?
I was hoping to use the command
execute aggregate selection on database ASOSamp.Sample
This command gives an error when run on a BSO.
Ex:
*[admin/localhost]execute aggregate selection on database Sample.Basic
Execution Message:
MaxL requires an aggregate storage application for this operation.*
I was wondering if Maxl generates a return code for this. If it does, how can I capture this return code?

To give a vague answer, you could run the command in your maxl script and use an iferror statement. It will not tell to the error number but that the command failed.
