Multiple Dimension Builds using MAXL

We currently use ESSCMND to perform multiple dimension builds and data loads. We have been using the "INCBUILDDIM" in Escmnd to update the outline with multiple files without restructuring until the last file. Is there an equivalent command for MAXL ??

Yes, you can mimic the BEGININCBUILDDIM command from ESSCMD in version 6.5. I've appended a sample script below to show that functionality. Until you upgrade to V6.5 you could shell to Esscmd and do your dim builds there. login 'xxx' 'PASSWORD' on 'LOCALHOST'; spool on to 'd:\ESSBASE\CLIENT\OUTPUT.LOG'; alter system load application 'SAMPTEST'; alter application 'SAMPTEST' load database 'BASIC'; import database 'SAMPTEST'.'BASIC' dimensions from server text data_file 'ACCTBLD1.TXT' using server rules_file 'ACTBLD.RUL', from server text data_file 'ACCTBLD2.TXT' using server rules_file 'ACTBLD.RUL' preserve all data on error append to 'ERR.OUT'; spool off; logout; exit;

Error: 1030001 while Dimension Building using MaxL

Hi, I am bulding dimesions using MaxL import statement. My script builds the diemsions properly. But in Logfile, It shows this error without generating any error files. ...... ..... OK/INFO - 1021000 - Connection With SQL Database Server is Established. OK/INFO - 1021002 - SQL Connection is Freed. OK/INFO - 1007132 - Building Dimensions Elapsed Time : [0.781] seconds. ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1030001. OK/INFO - 1019017 - Reading Parameters For Database [Drxxxxxx]. OK/INFO - 1019012 - Reading Outline For Database [Drxxxxxx]. ...... ... Can anybody can help me out with it? I know that Error: 1030001 is geneated due to API or path problems, I checked all paths, all is good. Thanks in advance, Marma

We are getting this error too. I believe that the error occurs because Essbase tries to evaluate outline before you finish building all of your dimensions. To me, it should be a Warning, not an Error. But my experience with Essbase is that anything that has to do with GUI or presentation of information to its developers (non-scrollable text boxes, log info, etc.) is lousy, so this is not a surprise. I had to build a logic in my batch programs to ignore this error when parsing log file for errors in execution. Hope you can do the same.

Load Rule (Dimension Build) using "Add as Child of"

I have a dimension file that contains Level0 Members, Aliases and Agg Signs. When I use the Build Method of "Add as Child Of", I appears that I cannot add the Alias in the same Load rule. On the first field, I select the Dimension with no Field Type or Number. On the next field, I select Alias and the Dimension, however, when I put a level number of 0, the load rule does not verify and if I try to leave the Number blank then I I get an error the error message of "You must specify a valid number for this field type".How do you add aliases, properties, etc when using the Dimension build with the build method of "Add as child of" in the same load rule? I cannot find anything in the DBAG.Thanks.....

As your post seems to indicate, there is no way to do it in one pass. There are a few things that you can't do the way you should be able to - like, say updating two alias tables at once...

Hardware requirements for SAP ERP 2005 using ECC 6.0

Hello everyone,
i am already new and need information about the min. hardware requirements for a SAP ERP 2k5 System using ECC 6.0 with IDES 7.10.
I read the Master Guides about ERP, but i am not even more clever than before.
The OS is MS Windows 2k3 Server EE.
The last information i had from another one to this configuration is:
1 dual-core cpu (? Ghz)
4-6 GB RAM
300 GB HDD
Does it fit? Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
IDES 7.10?!?
If it's an IDES system you want to set up, HDD space may be the bottleneck. It's sufficient for installation, but you may run out of disk space since note <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1013391">1013391</a> states
Hardware Requirement
 MS-SQL ORACLE MaxDB DB2 Win/Unix AS/400
DB size (GB): 160 220 220 160 280
Since IDES is for education and training purposes only the rest should be sufficient.
I'm running an ERP 6.0 IDES system (32 bit) on a single core, 3.2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB System and 500 GB SAP/DB HDD with pretty good response time.

Points always appreciated

Dimension Build using Rule File

I am using Oracle Hyperion Ver 9.3.1. While formatting the dimensions built using the rule file i came across the options "JOIN" and "Create Using Join". Can anyone help me in knowing the difference between these two options?
Edited by: 873675 on Jul 20, 2011 12:25 AM

The documentation explains the difference with examples, now I was going to post the link but I might as well post the info from the link.
Joining Fields
You can join multiple fields into one field. The new field is given the name of the first field in the join. For example, if a data source has separate fields for product number (100) and product family (-10), you must join the fields (100-10) before loading them into the Sample.Basic database.
Creating a Field by Joining Fields
You can join fields by placing the joined fields into a new field. This procedure leaves the original fields intact. Creating a field is useful if you need to concatenate fields of the data source to create a member.
For example, if a data source has separate fields for product number (100) and product family (-10), you must join the fields (100-10) before you load them into the Sample.Basic database. If, however, you want to preserve the two existing fields in the data source, you can create a field (100-10) using a join. The data source now includes all three fields (100, -10, and 100-10).
For other rule options read - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/ddlfield.html

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.

Dimension build using SQL table and process to fill the SQL table

I have a dimension in a cube that is manually* built by one of our power users. Now I have to get all the member information of that dimension into a SQL table(example : with columns...level0,level0property,level1,level1property etc....) to use that table in STUDIO for member load.
Is there any easy process to do this? Currently I am building each and every row manually in that SQL table and there are 1100+ members in that manually built dimension. Please advice.

Thank you so much Glenn!! That worked!! You make our lives so much easier!!

IR - Prompting for Year Dimension and using CurrMth Substition Variable

There's 2 questions.
How do I set IR so it prompts up for choosing year dimension (essbase)? I've put year in Column Query and set it as a variable. However, when I put this on workspace it doesn't prompt the user for selection. How do I resolve this?
The second question will base on the following thread:
Substitution variables
There is a substition variable in essbase for Currmth, Current Month. When I use this substition variable in IR, it has an error. Will update you what the case is. But is there any specific way I need to do inorder to use substitution variables in IR?

Substitution Variable errors in IR, please see below cap screen:

Urgent - Dimension Build Error - Maxl Editor

I have the following Statement import database 'ASOmkv5'.'ASOmkv5' dimensions from data_file timedim using rules_file ASOmkv5 on error write to 'ASOmkv5_logfile'; I get the following Errors Object [ASOmkv5] is locked by user [jtest] Object [57774682] is locked by user [jtest] Cannot access object: ASOmkv5.rul Object [57774682] is unlocked by user [jtest] Unexpected Essbase error 1030200 Object [ASOmkv5] is unlocked by user [jtest] 

I suspect that it is not finding your rules file. Try modifying the line to add "server" as in using server rules_file 'ASOmkv5' , also, single quoting the filename is probably a good practice. I'm always careful about using the "server" keyword when using any file from a source in the database directory. I work on a Windows server and have found that MAXL is sometimes a little erratic in parsing filenames. Escaping backslashes can be a particular problem. In your example, I'd try the server file location first.

Mr V, RSRV correct error never fixes these index issues.
Preet, Using SE14 i tried to "adjust and activate" and it did not fix the issue.
So ... I went to my Q system and found the same issue and fixed it by using SE14 deleting the index and then creating it.

Advice required for a wpf window used for survey?

I am developing a wpf desktop application which contains a survey form. Survey form includes bunch of radio buttons. at the end, i want that survey form to be converted in to pdf with the similar layout as in the window of application as shown in the fig:
I want your expert opinion what should be best for me and user in the following options?
I should convert the window to xps or pdf OR
i should just skip window and make a similar pdf layout that can be filled by user during survey using adobe reader pro and show it to user(In that case, we wont need to convert
anything, it will already be in pdf). OR
I should just take the snapshot of the survey window and then compile it in a pdf form.
Extra:
I have already written all the radio buttons information to a text file. Initially.Initially i thought that user should save the information and then he can read it from a text file but that's unprofessional. I tried to make a flow document but its very hard
to make layout in Flow document. I tried PdfSharp, it was helpful but then there was document in pdfSharp where user will fill a pdf. So i got confused. Any further suggestion on this matter will be appreciated. Thanks

There is no built-in feature that enables you to convert a window or a control to a PDF in .NET nor WPF so you will have to use some third-party tool to be able to this. Note that you should not ask questions about third-party software in these forums though
as they are intended for Microsoft's products and technologies only.
Please refer to the following thread for an example of how you could convert a WPF control, such as for example the root panel (Grid, StackPanel or whatever you are using) to an XPS document:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/502198/convert-wpf-xaml-control-to-xps-document.
Using the approach mentioned in the link above you could just take "a snapshot" of the panel that contains the radio buttons and save it to an XPS document.
Creating interactive user intefaces as a PDF in Adobe Reader Pro doesn't sound like a good idea and converting an existing PDF into a WPF GUI doesn't either. Then you probably better stick to your window with radio buttons and then convert the result into
an XPS document. Or you could save the content of the Grid, StackPanel or whatever to an image and then use some third-party sofware to generate a PDF file from the image if you necessarily want a PDF output:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4560173/save-wpf-view-as-image-preferably-png
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8881865/saving-a-wpf-canvas-as-an-image
Hope that helps.
Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer and then please start a new thread if you have a new question. Please don't post several questions in the same thread and please don't post questions about third-party software in the
MSDN forums.

Why arhivelogs are required for performing FLASHBACK database

Please explain. Thanks.

Documentation says :
It is similar to conventional point in time recovery in its effects, allowing you to return a database to its state at a time in the recent past.
Flashback Database is, however, much faster than point-in-time recovery, because it does not require restoring datafiles from backup and it requires applying fewer changes from the archived redo logs.
It is reason of Flashback require archivelog mode on database.
