Retrieve imported and validated Entities for further ESSBASE calc Script

Hi folks,
once the FDM processing is finished:
The Event Script AftConsolidate is executed.
It is retrieving all unique Entity entries (trialbalance command), Period (POV), Scenario (POV) etc. and is bulding a dynamic ESSBAE calc script command which is afterwards executed to ensure that even the leaf member are correctly transferred to ESSBASE, the nodes are refreshed/aggregated as well.
This works perfectly ;-)
MY ISSUE:
I want to clone this logic into a custom web script which then can be executed adhoc via webfrontend / Task Flow.
I tried to copy the AftCondolidate Script into this custom web script. UNFORTUNATELY i get an error: saying DATA ACCESS ERROR
My assumption is, that the trialbalance command does not work wit the custom web scripts.
Is that right? Are there any workarounds how to retrieve out of a custom web script the entity dimension and store the unique entity entries in an array?
regards
Hau

You don't need a custom script. FDM has functionality to call the consolidate action only, check the activities menu

What is the procedure/code in VBA for passing the calc scripts dynamically based on the selection.

Hello Gurus,
I want to know what is the procedure/code in VBA for passing the calc scripts dynamically based on the selection.
For example:
X=EssVCalculate("Sheetname","Calc_Script name",True)
In the above code instead of the *"Calc_Script name"* I want a script which is called dynamically and the values are calculated accordingly.
Thanks in advance
Saurabh

Hi Todd,
This is the situation:
I have a calc script in Essbase which I can call to perform the calculations on the current sheet that is retrieved. I want calculation for the following formulas:
x = EssVCalculate("Sheet2", "CalcBC", False)
CalcBC is my calc script which is present in Essbase
So instead of passing the above script I want to pass the conditions dynamically in the VBA code . I don't want to mention the script name directly in EssVCalculate option
For example:
I have three drop down menus from which I would select three different( zero level )members. It would then retrieve the data for that particular values in the excel sheet and now when I click on Calculate button it should calculate the script dynamically.
I don't know how calc scripts can be executed dynamically in the VBA code itself.
Thanks in Advance

Restrict Planning Admin from seeing all Essbase calc scripts

Hi - I have a few ppl who are Administrators on Planning and they see all of my calc scripts in Essbase. Is there a way to block them from seeing them? I have those calc scripts to run things that they do not need to run.
I am using Planning 3.5.1, Essbase 6.5
Thanks,
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
I assume the calc scripts you want to block from the Planning Admin's are within the applications they are administrators of correct?
The only way I can think to do this is to place these in another directory on the server or on a share you have access to and use Esscmd scripts to execute them in a batch function.
e.g.
RUNCALC 3 C:\SERVER_DIR\mycalcs\calc
Presuming the directory were on your essbase server and you schedule this on your essbase server.
This assumes your Planning Admins do not have access to your Essbase server. Of course if this were unix the path to the script would be different.
You could also only have the scripts on your local machine.

Name of the table where can get the two fields Valid-From and Valid-to for

Hi gurus
I want name of the table where I can get the two fields Valid-From and Valid-To and their relation ship with the header table in BOM
Regards
Kaisar

You can only get the Valid from date from the table STKO.
To get the valid to date, you have to take one day less than the valid-from date of the next record for the same BOM.
Alternatively use the Function module:
CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ
It will give both valid from and valid to dates in the tables parameter: T_STKO

Schedule changes and validity dates for prices in product catalog(SRM-MDM)

Hello!
I'm working on a project that is going to use SRM-MDM and the question is if it is possible to schedule changes(for example to add new prices that have a validity period, can you make the changes now that are going to be valid from 1st of februari?Or can I add products today that are only going to be available to buy from a particular date?).
The other question is if it is possible to have a validity period for prices and when the date is valid,then the product is shown in the catalog.In the same way that when the date is not valid, the product is not shown in the catalog.Can this be made automactically?Can a logic be build to choose which products are going to be shown in the catalog?
Do you have any suggestions for those issues?
Thanks in advance!

Dear Poster,

Import and/or export for actionscript without extention?

I have a project in which I need to import several hundered png images.
When I import them into the library, then select all the images, then view the properties, I Check the export for action script and the export in frame 1.
Now, all my images have class names that I can access though my code, however, it included the file extensions in the class names, thus making invalid class names.
Is there any way I can import and/or set class names so they do not include the file extensions without having to do it manually for EVERY file?

My actual project has something like 9200 images in it.
if my main project, let's call it "main.fla", was to contain every one of those images, every time I tried to run or debug it, it would take FOREVER to compile... as a work around that I discovered in a previous project was to put all my graphics and media into an swc file. (Let's call it MyLibrary.swc)
While I was trying to get the swc working, I discovered that while my media in the swc was indeed setup to be exported for actionscript with unquie classes and everything, when I compiled and built my project, I could not get any of those media elements using the getDefinitionByName function.
After alot of reading and trail and error I found that the only way to get it to work was to have someplace in my code, an actual reference to the objects that I was trying to get with getDefinitionByName. It turned out, that without instantiating the object in the code, the compiler was omitting it.
Now, but instantiate, I mean doing this:
var bm:BitmapData = new MyImage();
Where MyImage.png is in my swc and has a class defined as "MyImage"
Once I do that, then I can do this
var classRef:Class = Class( getDefinitionByName("MyImage") );
But without that line above SOMEWHERE in my code (even if it's not actually executed), the getDefinitionByName returns an error saying it can't find the class.
Now, here's the problem.
When I import all my images into my swc library they get named with the file extention... "MyImage.png" and when I select all the images that Imported and batch set the export for actionscript, they get automatically assigned a class name equal to their library name, so the class name is "MyImage.png"
so if I wanted to use getDefinitionByName to access the class, I would need to instantiate it in my code by doing this:
var bm:BitmapData = new MyImage.png();
BUT, that is erronous as the period causes an error and the adobe docs says right in it that class names can't use periods or any other non-alphanumeric character.
So while the getDefinitionByName function DOES actually work with classes with periods in them, because my media is external of the main.fla, I can't load it unless it's instantiated first, which leaves me right back where I was.... having to to manually rename over 9000 classes manually one at a time.
I did some searching and found the "Flash Library Renamer" extension, but it requires me changing all my class names to be sequenial, which the vast majority is not.
Is there a way that I can import the files into the library and have it omit the file extension?
if not, is there a way that I can set the class names in a batch and not have it use the file extentions?
if not, is there an Flash Extention or plug in that will allow batch renaming using regular expression or wildcards?

Formatting and Validation Options for a Form: go() versus call()

Hello.
Under a Form's "Formatting and Validation Options," the screen says:
"On successful submission of a form, execute this PL/SQL block or PL/SQL procedure:
Hint: You can redirect your browser to a PL/SQL procedure, for example a procedure that creates a Web page, using either of these methods:
call('<url>', '<parameter name for back url>');
Redirects the browser to the procedure and passes a parameter containing the URL back to the form.
go('<url>');
Redirects the browser to the procedure but does not pass a URL to return to the form."
I can get the go() procedure to work but not the call(). Here are the particulars:
1. I created a simple page.
2. I created a Form and placed it on the page.
3. I have PL/SQL code added to the "On successful submission of a form..." section of the Form so that when the user enters a transaction this code executes.
4. Unfortunately, the go() procedure redisplays the Form but not the underlying page.
I'm guessing (hoping) that if I can properly format the call() procedure instead, it will successfully display the underlying page and this Form. But no matter how I format the second parameter of the call() procedure I get the error "HTTP 400 Bad Request" "The web page cannot be found"
Can anyone provide a simple, working example for the call() procedure? Thanks for any insight.

Call ODI 11g scenario from Essbase calc script/business rule using ODI SDK

I am looking for any hints on how to use the ODI 11g SDK. I want to call a java application (CDF) that runs an ODI scenario using RUNJAVA in Essbase which I have successfully done in the 10g environment.
The java application has the odi-core.jar included in the project and registers OK with Essbase and I have replicated code from the Oracle sample code site. When I run the application in a calc script I get the following error:
EssbaseCluster-1.EFTS.EFTS.odi     Execute calculation script     June 17, 2011 10:20:40 AM NZST     Failed
Error: 1200456 Problem running [indigo.essbase.odi.RunODIScenario]: [java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/util/StringUtils]
When I comment out the code that calls the creates the OdiInstance then the java app executes fine - i.e. writes something to the Essbase log.
The research I have done so far indicates that a classpath is incorrect. If that is the case where do I start looking to correct the classpath? Is it the ODI classpath or the Essabase classpath?
Any tips would be grateful.
Thanks.

You need to import more jars to execute this
following are the jars
1)     bsf.jar
2)     bsh-2.0b2.jar
3)     commons-collections-3.2.jar
4)     eclipselink.jar
5)     odi-core.jar
6)     ojdl.jar
7)     oracle.ucp_11.1.0.jar
8)     persistence.jar
9)     spring-beans.jar
10)     spring-core.jar
11)     spring-dao.jar
12)     spring-jdbc.jar
Once you have this in classpath - your scenario will execute
Hope this helps.

Essbase calc script performance issues

Hi,
I have essbase 9.3 running on Sun solaris 4 CPU, 16 GB server. The calc script "calc all" takes ~3 hrs to complete.
This is the calc script.
/ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.US-ASCII@Binary
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
SET CALCPARALLEL 4;
SET CALCTASKDIMS 2;
CALC ALL;
We don't have to calc all dim, but even if we
But even with specific dim we get the same timing. Below is the script
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
SET CALCPARALLEL 4;
SET CALCTASKDIMS 2;
FIX ("Y2009", "Actual");
CALC DIM("Data Source","Intercompany","LegalEntity","Site","Department","Entity");
ENDFIX
The ess00001.ind is 700 Mb and ess00001.pag is 2.1 GB.
In Admin services, this is what I see for caches
1) Index cache size is 1 GB for this DB
2) Index cache current value is 1gb
3) Datafile cache setting is 1.5 GB
4) Datafile cache current value is 0 (?? not sure why??)
5) Data cache setting 4.1 GB
6) Index page setting 8 kb
please help ...
Thanks
Moe

Moe,
I'm guessing you inherited this thing, else you would know why the cache settings are what they are, but here are some thoughts:
Caches:
3) Datafile cache setting is 1.5 GB
4) Datafile cache current value is 0 (?? not sure why??)You're running the database in Buffered I/O, so the data file cache is ignored.
1) Index cache size is 1 GB for this DB
2) Index cache current value is 1gb You have consumed all of the cache -- I'm a little confused, as you state your .ind file to be 700 megabytes -- generally the index cache consumption doesn't go beyond the .ind file size. When you look at your hit ratio statistics in EAS, does it show a 1 against the index cache? If yes, then you don't need to look any further as that's as good as it's going to get.
5) Data cache setting 4.1 GBUnless you're using MEMSCALINGFACTOR, I don't think Essbase is actually addressing all of the memory you've assigned. What are you showing as actually used? In any case, having a data cache almost twice as big as the .pag files is a waste as it's way too large.
Easy, off the cuff suggestions without knowing more about your db:
1) Try AGG instead of CALC DIM for sparse dimensions.
2) Try turning off (yes, turning off, you'd be surprised) parallel calc, and benchmark it. It will probably be slower, but it's nice to know.
3) Dimension order? Modified hourglass?
4) Tried defragmenting the database and benchmarking the performance?
5) What is your block size? Big? Small?
6) I think you are not calculating your Accounts/Measures dimension in your calc? If you are, and it's dense, could you make those Accounts dynamic calc -- dropping a dimension from the calc can be huge.
I'm sure there will be other suggestions -- these are the easiest.

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.

Automate the process of changing the subvariables in Essbase calc script?

Hi Experts,
I have two calc scripts called HourlyAgPre & HrlyAgPost and in these calcs I am using Subvariables. Like wise i have 4 regions and there are so many calc scripts. during month end close i have to go and change the subvariables manually. is there any way to change the subvaribles at one time using Maxl script?
Eg:
In BD9 My subvariable needs to point to Preclose
In BD-3 my subvaribles need to poit to Postclose.
Please suggest me if you come across this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is example of setting variables through Maxl and passing parameters into the maxl script Re: Update variables

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

Import and default values for columns

Hi guys
I have a table in which there are default values for some columns. I take export of this table.
I go to another database where this table structure is already there (but default values are not set). I run the import of table with ignore=Y. It does all...import the data...create the indexes and all...but doesn't set the default values for the columns.
Shouldn't it do that also ? ignore=Y means that ignore the object creation errors and proceed with the rest of the stuff ? Or there is some problem in my understanding ?
Version 10gR2 on AIX 5.3 and using traditional export/import.
Thanks
