??? Sign flip on Attribute using report script ???

Question

We are using an Essbase report script to extract data that we then process with HAL. Since the system we are loading into uses natural balances, we need to flip the sign on a revenue accounts (have 'Revenue' attribute in Essbase).Is there a way to do the sign flip on data based on the value of an attribute? I could do it once the data is back in HAL, but it would be easier if we could do it on the data extract.Thanks,TomB

Answer 1

I'm using example 4.
This is what I have: 
$UpdateUserAttributesArray = 'sn','givenName','initials','displayName','info','mail','departmentNumber','department','telephoneNumber','ipPhone','title','physicalDeliveryOfficeName','employeeType'
Function StudentNameChange {
    $Attributes=BuildUserTable $UpdateUserAttributesArray
    Set-ADuser $User.sAMAccountName -Replace @{mail="$User.mail";targetAddress="$User.mail";proxyAddressess="SMTP:$User.mail";sn="$User.sn";cn="$User.sn + $User.givename"}
$UpdateUserAttributesArray sets the value for the import file.
StudentNameChange should set the updated value has needed.
The script runs but no settings are changed.
Set-AdUser $User.sAMAccountName  -mail $User.mail -surname $User.sn
Like that.,
Replace is only for optional attribute.
Function does not specifi $user so that may also be missing.
I think you need to spend some time learning the basics of PowerShell. It looks like you are just gluing things together thazt you have found with no understranding of how any of the bits work.
Try just setting one user at a command prompt until you see how the CmdLet and PowerShell work.  Post single simple questions as you try each parameter.
# build a test user object
$user New-Object PsObject@{
SamAccoutnName='somename'
Mail='[email protected]'
SN='lastname'
GivenName='John'
proxyAddresses='...<list of addresses>'
#start like this and add items until you understand what is working.
Get-AdUser $user.SamAccountName |
Set-AdUser -Surname $user.sn -GivenName $user .GivenName -Replace @{Mail='$($user.Mail'}
#use Rename-Object to change CN.
You need to learn the simple bits before you try to do grand things.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
