Unable to execute data export calc script

HI Experts,
When I am trying to execute the data export calculation script I am getting the error like "Failed to establish the connection with SQL database".
set dataexportoptions
DataExportLevel "All";
DataExport "DSN" "Test_DSN" "Test_table" "sa" "sa999";
I have executed the calculation script by accessing the Essbase administration services through citix.
Is there a way to export data from Essbase cube to sql database through citix

First of all did you set the DSN up on the essbase server and not the EAS if it is different, if so did you test the DSN.
Have you checked the essbase logs to see if they have more information.
Cheers

How do you stop multiple users executing the same calc script at the same time?

We have an issue when users uplaod a spreadsheet and then run a calc script. at one time we have multiple exectuions of the script running.
This slows up the system and we have to go cancel all the executions and run it again.
Can we stop this and put them on a queue, so only one execution of the calc happens at one time. Or stop multiple executions getting submitted at all.

You could use EXCLUSIVECALC to stop more than one calc running at the same time, although this will apply to all applications on your server. And it doesn't just stop the same calc being launched twice. Easier than the alternatives I can think of though, if it works for you.

Essbase Data Export not Overwriting existing data file

We have an ODI interface in our environment which is used to export the data from Essbase apps to text files using Data export calc scripts and then we load those text files in a relational database. Laetely we are seeing some issue where the Data Export calc script is not overwriting the file and is just appending the new data to the existing file.
The OverWriteFile option is set to ON.
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS {
     DataExportLevel "Level0";
     DataExportOverWriteFile ON;
DataExportDimHeader ON;
     DataExportColHeader "Period";
     DataExportDynamicCalc ON;
The "Scenario" variable is a substitution variable which is set during the runtime. We are trying to extract "Budget" but the calc script is not clearing the "Actual" scenario from the text file which was the scenario that was extracted earlier. Its like after the execution of the calc script, the file contains both "Actual" and "Budget" data. We are not able to find the root cause as in why this might be happening and why OVERWRITEFILE command is not being taken into account by the data export calc script.
We have also deleted the text data file to make sure there are no temporary files on the server or anything. But when we ran the data export directly from Essbase again, then again the file contained both "Actual" as well as "Budget" data which really strange. We have never encountered an issue like this before.
Any suggestions regarding this issue?

Did some more testing and pretty much zoomed on the issue. Our Scenario is actually something like this "Q1FCST-Budget", "Q2FCST-Budget" etc
This is the reason why we need to use a member function because Calc Script reads "&ODI_SCENARIO" (which is set to Q2FCST-Budget) as a number and gives an error. To convert this value to a string we are using @member function. And, this seems the root cause of the issue. The ODI_Scenario variable is set to "Q2FCST-Budget", but when we run the script with this calculation function @member("&ODI_SCENARIO"), the data file brings back the values for "Q1FCST-Budget" out of nowhere in addition to "Q2FCST-Budget" data which we are trying to extract.
Successful Test Case 1:
1) Put Scenario "Q2FCST-Budget" in hard coded letters in Script and ran the script
e.g "Q2FCST-Phased"
2) Ran the Script
3) Result Ok.Script overwrote the file with Q2FCST-Budget data
Successful Case 2:
1) Put scenario in @member function
e.g. @member("Q2FCST-Budget")
2) Results again ok
Failed Case:
1) Deleted the file
2) Put scenario in a substitution variable and used the member function "@member("&ODI_Scenario") and Ran the script . *ODI_SCENARIO is set to Q@FCST-Budget in Essbase variables.
e.g. @member("&ODI_SCENARIO")
3) Result : Script contained both "Q1FCST-Budget" as well as "Q2FCST-Budget" data values in the text file.
We are still not close to the root cause and why is this issue happening. Putting the sub var in the member function changes the complete picture and gives us inaccurate results.
Any clues anyone?

Data Export to Oracle table from essbase issue

Hello,
i am using a data export calc script to load data from essbase into an oracle table. We have Essbase 11.1.2.1 on windows 2008 64 bit R2 server. I have an ODBC system DSN created for this job.
However, when i launch this process i get a message in the log "Cannot read SQL driver name for [Backup Exec Catalogs] from [ODBC.INI]"
i have checked the ODBC.ini file also in C:\Windows directory and that file contains the connection entries...
Any thoughts as to why i am getting this error in one server whereas the same process on SIT server is working fine.
thanks...

please restart the application and try again . Check the application log if any details are there

Execute calc script before batch load

Hi
I use FDM ERPI to load data from Oracle EBS R12 into Hyperion Planning 11.1.2
I use batch loader to load several locations.
How could I execute a Essbase calc script before the import process, so before the first load?
Thanks in advance for your help
Fanny

Sorry, but I have searched in this forum.
I have found topics about how to execute calc script after the load, but nothing (at least I have not found) about calc script befort many load via batch loader.
So if someone can give me some clues...
thanks!
Fanny

Calc script takes longer than expected to execute

The current Planning system has several calc scripts which are used to run the budget. This system is 3.3. I am currently in the process of migrating to Planning 11.1.2. The same outline, data and calc scripts are used in the new system. However, one script, which takes only 8 hours to run in the old system, now takes 5+ DAYS to run. I did a data extract in the new system and the data seems to be correctly calculated.
My problem is, what can be the issue for this lengthy time for calculation.
Note: This is the first time I am running the calculation scripts in the new system.
Thanks

Did you size your essbase plan type caches appropriately - the index and data caches specifically (this is the most common culprit)
Do all dimensions have the same dense/sparse configuration?^^^I'll bet anything that Matt got it with the dense/sparse configuration. The caches are worth looking at as well but that big of a performance difference seems unlikely. Taking a dense dimension and making it sparse or vice versa will do crazy things to a database's performance.

Maxl doesn't logout after Calc Script execution

Hi All,
I have a batch script which runs to load data and then aggregate data using calc script. Maxl completes the load and then starts the calculation execution but this never ends. I tried looking into the logs and it shows that Calc Script executed but it won't log off the user and so the next process of the batch doesn't kick-in.
Application Logs:
Thu~May~20~12:40:36~2009~Local~****~****~hadmin~Info~(1012579)~Total Calc Elapsed Time for ~Agg.csc~ : ~1008.66~ seconds

Can anyone suggest me how to resolve the issue. Thanks...

Hi Cameron,
The script which you had given was running just great in Dev with very less data, as the aggregation was just taking 10mins but when I moved the scripts to QA where it loads data from Prod, the aggregation takes almost 2 hours to run and just as the calc script finishes it throws an Network error and Maxl doesn't end the agg script and hangs there and is forced to log off from console after 60mins of inactivity. The hang doesn't let the batch to start the next process.
Network error for app logs:

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.
Cheers

I wonder whether its a problem with substitution variable i want to know wat went wrong inside the fix statement
I have created substitution variable use maxl
Installed the essbase in custom manner and standlone mode nt register with the shared services ,
Is this problem with the custom installation of essbase

If you remove the substitution variable and replace it with the actual value (whatever that is), does the code work? That will tell you if the issue is around the substitution variable or not.

Execute Calc Script from another application

Hello Guru's,
i have two applications (Planning and HPCM). Both 11.1.1.3.
I write a calc.script in HPCM (with XREF) that provide me a data from Planning to HPCM. Now i am trying to execute a script in planning. So that a planning user can load the data by clicking a business rule.
Is it possible?
Many thanks,
WhiteBaer

VB is a system wide scripting engine, so you can run it from outside InDesign. You create an InDesign object to address InDesign. This can be done by another application as well.
Javascript is a scripting engine provided soley by InDesign. Unless you have some method of telling InDesign to run the script, it's a non-starter. You can probably create a dll to tell InDesig to run a javascript, but I think a simple VB is WAY simpler...
All you really need to do is write a very short VB and feed the javascript to the VB as a string anc call app.doScript() providing the javascript to the doScript method.

A method for passing in the system date to either a substitution variable or directly into a calc script for use on the fix statement

Does anyone have an idea of how to pass in the server system date into a calc script or into a substitution variable so that I can fully automate my calc script to only calculate the current day? Thanks very much for any assistance on this.

Chose 'Export to Shared Services' on a calc script....where did it go?

I accidentally right-click and choose 'Export to Shared Services' on a Calc script in EAS.
the help file is not much...I am curious...where did this export to in Shared Services? What is the point of this feature?
Thanks
JTS

Hi,
I think it was Hyperion's original idea to share objects between applications which were known as models, so you could export outlines and calc scripts to shared services and then shared them across applications or to synchronize different applications.
It is something that I have never seen really used and I am sure it was dropped after 9.2, though the option still existed to export in EAS but you couldn't manage models in 9.3
I think it has all be superseeded with concepts like EPMA and LCM.

Essbase 9.3 Calc scripts. Pb with dates. How to convert (string = number) ?

Hello,
I've a problem with Essbase(Planning?) Scripts on version 9.3. It looks simple but I do not find any (clean) solution :
On my Essbase database, I have a member called "Reference_Date" on my axis Indicators. It is a date data type, that is to say, it displays a number corresponding to a YYYYMMDD format. For example : 20091029 for October 29th 2009.
In calc scripts I often need to compare the month included in that "Reference_Date" with the current Member of my Time Axis (I have 12 Months members based on the format M02 for February for example). The final aim is to calculate a number of complete years since that "Reference_Date".
But theses two elements are not of the same "type" (one is a number value and the other is a "member" in Time Axis). So I'm forced to convert one of this two elements in order to compare it.
For example I can extract the month value of the "Reference_Date"' and put an "M" before it to have a Time member equivalent or I can convert the member Name M10 to a number (10))
in both cases I have the same type problem : I don't know how to convert a string into a number nor how to convert a number into a string.
(For example @CONCATENATE doesn't work with numbers). and that my only remaining problem.
I didn't find any Essbase Function which do this (conversion number <=>string).
Is anyone have an Idea ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards

I don't know any way for you to compare your data against your metadata. Not directly. To me it makes little enough sense to try that I'm not surprised the developers didn't provide for it.
I've converted member names to strings, manipulated the strings (calc script functions are not good at this), and turned them back into member names, but that's really the only use I've had for string manipulation. I don't think an equivalency operator even exists for string data. And I see no way to begin thinking of a member name, once converted to a string, as a number.
It makes even less sense to me to try thinking of a data value as a string. Even text values in Sys 11 are stored as numbers. Not encoded characters, but just a number to look up somewhere.
I think you can do what you want though, with something like this...
IF (@ISMBR("FY08"))
vYr = 2008;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR("FY09"))
vYr = 2009;
ENDIF;
IF (@ISMBR("M01"))
vMth = 1;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR("M02"))
vMth = = 2;
ENDIF;
"Years_Since_Reference" = ((vYr * 100) + Mth) - ("Reference_Date" / 12);
Obviously, the math will need some work, coz that doesn't actually work, but the logic above essentially turns your metadata into numbers, which is what you are after.
Good luck,
-- Joe

Aerender error: "Unable to execute script at line 95. Window does not have a constructor"

A BG Renderer user is getting this error when running aerender version 10.5.1x2:
"Unable to execute script at line 95. Window does not have a constructor"
The render proceeds but the process never completes which is preventing the rest of the BG Renderer notifications from triggering. Any idea what this error means and how to fix it?
Thanks,

I guess we'll have to wait for Adobe to answer what could be causing the transmission to drop on Line 95. Todd's out of the office for a month or two, but maybe someone else can shed some light.

Essbase error 1033, executing a calc script through HAL

Sorry, no answer yet.
Our job that failed which runs about 6 times daily successfully ran on the next scheduled run with zero changes. Some sort of hiccup (unexplainable).
