Strange Character in Essbase Report

I generated an Essbase report using report script. I have suppressed colum heading, page heading, zero rows and missing rows. In the generated report there is a strange character at the beginning of every 65th row (). When opened in notepad it looks like the biology female symbol. I am guessing this is some kind of a page break character. It shows up in any application I use to open the .rpt file.Is there any way to supress this character?
I will be sending the resulting report to SAP. Will this character effect the way SAP will read member names in that row?

Never mind. Foud out that SUPFEED works fine. The question about page break character affecting SAP is still open though.

Strange Character Showing on my PowerPC G4

Hello!
After a re-start of my laptop, I discovered that all the fonts from option menu had been replaced by a lot of 'A', and such strange character is consisted of a capital 'A' within a square/box, it looks exactly like the letter 'A' fall out from a keyboard.
Please help and thanks!
George

Hi hardhousedj, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It's a damaged system font...
Your problem has been reported several times and seems to represent breakdown in the OS's ability to use the basic system fonts. The A is a symbol from Apple's Last Resort font indicating that the desired character is not present on the system. The only know cure as far as I know is a reinstall of the OS.
First, "Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g

Hi Experts,
The Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g is displaying the member names instead of the Alias names. However in OBIEE 10g the Alias names are rightly displayed.
Can anyone please suggest on how it is possible to display the alias names in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
thanks for ur reply. I checked the above workaround but found that the option Display Column -> Alias is not enabled. So am not able to select it. Hence now Member names is selected.
Please let me know if i am missing something else.

5200: FR Essbase Report - POV Error

Hi All,
One of our user (non-admin) is getting the below POV error when he tried to run a FR Essbase report,
"5200:Error executing query :;has Pov Dims=0;pov XML=<?xml version ="1.0"?><datasources></datasources>"
we tried the following actions as a part of trouble shooting, but nothing worked so far,
- Verified the File --> Preferences in workspace and the POV settings is ON
- Reset the user POV using ManageUserPOV.cmd
- Deprovisioned & reprovisioned the user
- Verified the user security access
- we are able to run the report with other admin & non-admin logins
Kindly suggest us with a solution, if you have faced this error in your past.
Thanks,
Siva

Try to reset his POV using the HYPERION_HOME\BIPlus\bin\ManageUserPOV.cmd utility.
You need to alter the ManageUserPOV.properties file to indicate his/her user ID

Mail on iCloud Mail creates strange character strings

Hi,
once in a while iCloud Mail creates strange character Strangs (like:
ich gr=C3=BCnes Licht geben bzw Entscheidungen =C3=BCber durchzuf=C3=BChr=
ende Arbeiten treffen.=0AKl=C3=A4rungsbed=C3=BCrftig ist noch, ob die vorl=

Obviously when using mutatet wovels ("german umlauts")
Any explanation and suggestion to avoid it.

Hello,
Indeed but native Mail app is configured automatically when setting Mail in iCloud settings. At the end, iCloud account has a specific icon in Mail app.
Try what I described and you'll see that this iCloud account is transformed into a standard IMAP account.

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.

Strange character at the end of some file/folder names

I'm getting a strange character at the end of some of my file and folder names. This is it:  When I enlarge it, it says "private use" on the top and bottom, "E000" on the left side, and "F8FF" on the right side. It acts like a character within the font, but I'm not sure why it's there.
In case that didn't work, I'm going to try to attach or embed a gif of the character. I'm not sure if it will work or not.
Also, some longer file names seem to be dleeting some of the letters and are inserting a pound sign and a few numbers (e.g. #34) in place of the letters.
What's going on?
As usual, thanks in advance,
Lloyd

I thought that might be it...at first. Then I found some file names that were nowhere near 32 characters long whose names were truncated.
It's not a huge problem, except in QuarkXPress when I collect the files for output and I have to reconnect to the ones whose names have been changed (to protect the innocent, I suppose).
Thanks for the input mark.

Business Rule variable in Essbase report

Hi,
I need to create a report where I will use the variable (created as Business Rules variable e.g.- [BudYear],[CurrVersion] etc) but it is not working. If I use [BudYear] it is just showing the dimension name in report as 'Year'. But when I use any exxbase substitution variable (e.g.- &CurYear etc) it is working fine. So, can it be possible to use business rules variable in essbase reports?
Can it be possible to save the essbase report in comma delimited format (I am only getting tab delimited option). Please revert back.
Thanks & Regards.

As John rightly said, HBR rules are only applicable within HBR. What you want is an Essbase Substitution Variable. So long as the value does not get selected interactively in the HBR, you can use a Substitution Variable instead. An example would be something like current year -- this isn't going to get changed by the users via a Planning form or a prompt.
HBRs, Calc Scripts, member formulas, load rules, and of course Essbase report scripts can all read substitution variables. See the DBAG for more information. Personally, I only use HBR variables, local or global, for items off the POV or driven by a run-time prompt.
Unfortunately, a comma delimted file is a pain in a report script -- you have to make your columns fixed length and then use the MASK command to put the commas in -- ugh. However tab delimited files are an option. I've never found an IT group that couldn't handle the latter format.
You may also go with the the DATAEXPORT calc script command -- a comma delmited output is possible with that command and of course it supports Essbase substitution variables.

Strange character in facebook in Chrome. After messing with Helevetica neue

Hi everyone,
I have this strange character in facebook in chrome.
First of all, before this problem arise, I was messing around with helvetica neue font to display properly in google chrome, and also I deleted many international fonts using monolingual program.
What is seems the problem? How do I get it back to normal.
thanks.

Those are characters from Apple's Last Resort Font. It indicates you have deleted stuff you should have left there. I recommend you not use Monolingual and similar apps. The risk of serious damage to your OS is not worth any possible benefit.

Essbase report script match pattern on alias

report scriptHi,
I need some help on essbase report script. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to use the essbase report script command "<MATCH" so that I can match for a pattern on the alias name as opposed to the member name. I have searched the Internet with no luck. Maybe someone in this community knows how to do this. If you can reply with a specific example that would help me out as I am very visual.
Thanks in advance.

You can use <REPALIAS, e.g., for Sample.Basic:
<REPALIAS "Product"
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
Diet Cola
(24,761)
Diet Root Beer 25,185,158,741
Diet Cream
23,703,677,612
Diet Cola
(24,761)
Diet Root Beer 25,185,158,741
Diet Cream
23,703,677,612
Diet Drinks
48,888,811,592
Using <OUTALT on its own (confusingly, at least as I read the documentation) continues selecting by alias, but displays member name:
<OUTALT
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
100-20
(24,761)
200-20
25,185,158,741
300-30
23,703,677,612
100-20
(24,761)
200-20
25,185,158,741
300-30
23,703,677,612
Diet
48,888,811,592
Without either, the MATCH only looks at member names:
<ROW ("Product")
<MATCH("Product", "Diet*"
Diet
48,888,811,592

Hindi Langauge has some strange character in zsca/installed_language=H

Dear Experts,
I have imported HINDI language and run the I18n for getting the values of the paramter zsca*, but it shows some strange character in it. And copied/paste the same thing in instance profile, but nothing works?
Any idea how to get resolved.
Regards
Prash

What do you see?
> And copied/paste the same thing in instance profile, but nothing works?
Well - with that problem description it's impossible to help you.
What release are you running?
How did you import the language?
What are those "strange charaters" you seee?

Essbase Reports - MAXL Scripts

I can not find the MAXL script command to execute an EssbaseReport. In Esscmd, it is RunRept. Any help would be appreciated. Jamie

Just an example based on the Sample:Basic DB .... (this is for Windows, I guess the syntax for UNIX is slightly different, refer DBAG for exact details). export database sample.basic using report_file 'Essbase\\App\\Sample\\Basic\\Bottom.rep' to data_file 'D:\\Essbase\\Reports\TestReport.rpt';

Essbase Report Writer IPARENT

I have a report that displays level 0. I want to also show the immediate parent of the level 0 member. I have been playing with the "IParent" command, but can't get it to work. It looks like it may work on a single member. This is what I have at the moment.
<Link (((<LEV("Entities", "Lev0,Entities")) AND ( <IDESC("Total Center")))
Any ideas how to get the level 0 entities along with the immediate parent?
Thanks

Thanks Tim for the response. The code works except that it puts the parent information on a separate line, however I would like to have both the parent and child on a the same line in different columns.You won't be able to do that in an Essbase report script as the Essbase engine will not understand with member you want for the row dimension when it does the retrieve.. You could do this in Excel if you limit the number of range that is retrieved to only include the 'child' column in the row header section of the retrieve.
Within the same project, I was trying to incorporate "REPMBRALIAS". It works, but I cannot seem to get the member name and alias in two separate columns. Report writer dumps both in the same column, which makes it hard to parse.My guess is that it would be impossible to parse if you have spaces in any member names. Again, if you use Excel to do this functionality, you can turn off 'use both members and aliases' and they will be returned in separate columns.
