Scripting Automatic Diary Dates

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to script an automatic date entry for the layout of diary pages in inDesign, I've attached a layout below so you can see what I mean, I dont know whether it would be better to import data from an excel sheet of to use javascript,
I dont need the time on the left I can set these on the master, I just thought there must be a better way than manually imputting all of the data.
Kind regards
cwrighty

I'd have to scan the script to know for sure, but in general I would do this:
1. have the script generate the full list of days.
2. determine where page breaks should come (i.e., before "Saturday" and "Wednesday")
3. add these with a regular Find/Change -- all of the text, except for the first half week, will become overset.
4. use Autoflow to make InDesign add the required number of pages.
Of course this could all be added to the script, but you only have to do it once. Well, perhaps that should be "once a year".

Automate script for import data

automate script for importing data to the cube from txt files.
Ex: - I have below 2 files for import
aaaa.txt
bbbb.txt
For the above simply i can write esscmd or Maxl script for importing files .
Esscmd :
IMPORT 3 "\aaaa.txt" 4 "N";
IMPORT 3 "\bbbb.txt" 4 "N"
my question , suppose if some more files added to the existing files, for example cccc.txt got added ,how can i write a code for this?

Well I guess this will do
dataDir=" " # Give the data directory path here
maxlFile="maxl1.msh"
cd $dataDir
for file in `ls *` ;
do
maxlStmt="import database sample.basic data from data_file '$file' using rules_file 'xxx.rul'
on error write to 'xxx.log';";
printf $maxlStmt >> $maxlFile
done
ls * is lists all the files in the directory. If you want to be more specific and if you yhink tat your data folder may contain more files then you can use "ls *.txt" if your file extension to load is txt.
Well I haven't tested this as I am on vacation...So you can just follow the similar way.
This is only for the 3rd point which you said

How to automate the data load process using data load file & task Scheduler

Hi,
I am doing Automated Process to load the data in Hyperion Planning application with the help of data_Load.bat file & Task Scheduler.
I have created Data_Load.bat file but rest of the process i am unable complete.
So could you help me , how to automate the data load process using Data_load.bat file & task Scheduler or what are the rest of the file is require to achieve this.
Thanks

To follow up on your question are you using the maxl scripts for the dataload?
If so I have seen and issue within the batch (ex: load_data.bat) that if you do not have the full maxl script path with a batch when running it through event task scheduler the task will work but the log and/ or error file will not be created. Meaning the batch claims it ran from the task scheduler although it didn't do what you needed it to.
If you are using maxl use this as the batch
"essmsh C:\data\DataLoad.mxl" Or you can also use the full path for the maxl either way works. The only reason I would think that the maxl may then not work is if you do not have the batch updated to call on all the maxl PATH changes or if you need to update your environment variables to correct the essmsh command to work in a command prompt.

If I accidentally remove a diary date can I recover it or go back?

If I accidentally remove a diary date can I recover it or go back?

Yes. Sometimes I accidentally delete or move it. Then it automatically syncs to my other apple products so I don't know what dates or appointments !

Help using MaxL to automate Essbase Data Load

Hi,
I am trying to automate loading data into an Essbase database (for a Planning application). My current script using the Maxl Shell looks like this:
MaxL>
IMPORT DATABASE Application.Database DATA
FROM SERVER TEXT DATA_FILE *'data.csv'*
USING SERVER RULES_FILE *'csv'*
ON ERROR WRITE TO *'c:\\hyperion\\MaxL_logs\data_csv.err'*;
Bold text in the script indicates specific names or files for my instance.
Using this script works succesfully to load data into my Planning application as long as the data file data.csv is located in the database directory for the Planning applicaiton. What I want to be able to do is load the data file data.csv from a directory that I specify, as the data file cannot be placed in the database directory and instead must have it's own directory.
Does anyone know what syntax I need to use in a MaxL script in order to load a data file that is not located in the database directory? I can provide more information if need. Thank you.

Hi,
Have you tried...
IMPORT DATABASE Application.Database DATA
FROM TEXT DATA_FILE 'C:\\temp\\data.csv'
USING SERVER RULES_FILE 'csv'
ON ERROR WRITE TO 'c:\\hyperion\\MaxL_logs\data_csv.err';
or
IMPORT DATABASE Application.Database DATA
FROM LOCAL TEXT DATA_FILE 'C:\\temp\\data.csv'
USING SERVER RULES_FILE 'csv'
ON ERROR WRITE TO 'c:\\hyperion\\MaxL_logs\data_csv.err';
Cheers

Report Script returns no data and "java.io.FileNotFoundException" error

When attempting to write to a new file (Eg: C:\TEST.txt), Report Script returns no data and "java.io.FileNotFoundException" error occurs.
This error occurs only in Essbase 9.3.1.3 release, however it works fine in release 9.3.1.0.
After running the report the script, it pops up the follwing message:
"java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\temp\eas17109.tmp (The system cannot find the file specified): C:\TEST.txt"
When checked the TEST.txt, it was empty.

Sorry folks, I just found out the reason. Its because there was no data in the combination what I was extracting.
but is this the right error message for that? It should have atleast create a blank file right?

The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

Here is a simple calc script to export data.
2 questions:
1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);
Dataexport "file" "," "C:\Exp_AW.txt" "#MI";
EndFix;
Edited by: user9959627 on Sep 7, 2012 11:25 AM

Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.

Start script automatically after place Word text in indesign document

I need start a script, automatically, after plece Word text in indesign document...
It's possible ???

This is how I'd approach it - it captures a 'place' or 'paste' of a blob of text. It is not perfect - it will also 'fire' if you simply copy some text from one frame in the document to an empty frame, but I don't think that would be an issue in most cases.
Create a page item on the pasteboard; use the Active Page Item Developer palette to set the List of Subjects to * (just an asterisk), and the Event Filter to subjectModified* ('subjectModified' with an asterisk appended). Set the attached ExtendScript to the script shown below.
I've not tested this heavily - it's only a proof of concept...
(function(theItem)
const kKeyForSavedTextLength = "com.rorohiko.savedTextLength";
do
    var theFrame = theItem.eventSource;
    if (! (theFrame instanceof TextFrame))
      // Not a text frame - bail out
      break;
    var previousTextLength =
      theFrame.getDataStore(
        kKeyForSavedTextLength);
    if (previousTextLength == null)
      previousTextLength = 0;
    if (previousTextLength > 0)
      // Already has text in it - bail out
      break;
    var curTextLength = theFrame.contents.length;
    theFrame.setDataStore(
      kKeyForSavedTextLength,
      curTextLength);
    if (curTextLength == 0)
      // No text in it - bail out
      break;
    alert("Pasted or placed a blob of text");
while (false);
(theItem));

How to automate the data flow to content servers?

We have ECC connected to CS. Could you help tell how to automate the data flow into the CS? Thanks a lot!

What do you use the Content Server for? If its for archiving you need to run the STORE job to send the data to the CS.
I can't see a reason to automate that process

Dear Guru's
Thanks for watching this thread,my question is

How we can automate the data loading from BI- BPC Ms version.Is manual flat file load is mandatory in ms version.
Thanks in Advance,

Here are some options
1) Use standars packages and schedule them :
A) Openhub masterdata file into a flat file/ BPC App server and Schedule the package - Import Master Data from a Data File and other relevent packages.
2 ) Using Custom Tasks in Custom Packages ( SSIS)
Procedure
From the Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence Developer Studio, open the Microsoft SSIS folder.
Create a new package, or select an existing package to modify.
Choose Task Register Custom Task .
In the Task Location field, browse for the target .dll file.
Note
By default, the .dll files are stored in BPC/Websrvr/bin.
End of the note.
Enter a task description, select an appropriate icon, then click OK.
Drag the icon to the designer window. Enter data as required.
Save the package.

Script Logic VS Data Transformation File

Hi all,
   I'm new to SAP BPC. I have knowledge of SAP BW.
   I can see conversion file, which we are referring in data transformation file. which we can use for mapping and conversion of external data into internal data.
How data transformation file different form script logic? Are we going to refer script logis in Data transformation file for each required dimension?
Can any of you give me clarity on how to place script logic and data transformation file in BPC data management flow.
I will really applicate all your help!!!
Thanks
Ben.

Nilanjan,
   I have a another quick question...
suppose my bpc application has 5 dimensions. Out of the 5 dimensions, 4 dimensions data i'm getting directly from SAP BW. assume 1 dim, i need to extract by doing look up at different table which also reside in BW.
   how to populate data for DIM 5.
   I got your point that data transformation file purely for field mapping. suppose DIM5 if i want to populate from script logic, wht do i need map in Transformation file. I hope you got my point.
   My question if how to populate a DIM in BPC using lookup approach.
Thanks,
Ben.

Of course there is. This is the kind of calc script that only gets run once, so make usre you test it well before doing it on production and make a backup of production before doing it.
It would be something like
Fix(time frame, accounts to be flipped, level zero other dimensions)
actual = actual * -1;
EndFix
Cal dim dimensions
Note, I chose actual, but you could do it for any dimension that has a single or only a couple of members. What ever dimension you choose to do the calculation on, it can't be included in the fix statement

Eror in automatic time & date setting

Suddenly the automatic time & date function in System Preferences is returning an incorrect time. I am shown in the correct time zone (EDT), but using the automatic setting puts the time ahead by 4 hours. I believe that would be GMT. Cannot figure out why it would do this. I am using an early-2008 MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.8.2.
Intrerestingly, my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 is showing the correct time.
Anyone else experiencing this, or have any ideas how do return to the correct time?

Any ideas?

Go to Solution.

Check you have all the latest system app updates. To do so, download and install an app called Lumia System Updater and use it to check and update the system apps as necessary.
