Thank you Glenn! I just started to look into report script though we've had the tool for years. And look forward to your next installment.

Export metadata using report script/data export

Hi all,
I have a cube with 3 dimensions:
1. Accounts
2. Period
3. Products
My purpose is to create a txt file using report script (if someone have a better idea I'm willing to hear) as following:
Accounts (level 0), Period (level 0), Products(level 0), ***Products (parent(level 0))***
The challenge is to create an additional column with metadata information like parent of the previous column in my exapmle.
I will be very happy if someone can help me with that.
**I'm using essbase 11.1.2.3
Thanks,
Yuval

Shameless plug for my new digital imaging blog

Hi everybody!
This is nothing but a shameless plug for my new digital imaging blog @ http://www.imagingpro.wordpress.com.
I'm looking for readers, in particular photographers, and you are probably looking for interesting information, so it is all good.
I hope you find it worthwhile, as in not useless.
Gotta go now before the moderator comes and spambins me :-)
Mathias

Com'on Larry, Mathias is a good guy and does wonderful work, and the blog looks good as well.
There is of course the wars of who is better, them or us, but I think this is natural.
And larry things are more expensive there then they are here, though when I am over in Europe I try to put the currency exchange out of mind and think in terms of Euros as being euros and dollars. Certain things there are actually more reasonable but not and certain cities are more reasonable priced as well.
True they have larger incomes then us and pay no medical expenses if they choose but that is the balance of things and i think it is wonderful that they get a chance to save money and get a chance to see the U.S. and I guess i many cases New York.

How to Schedule Report Output in EXCEL (.cvs) format for Planning 11.1.2.1

Hi all,
I'm using Planning 11.1.2.1 for entering data and generating reports manually via Workspace. I wanna set up an automation process with a batch scheduler.
I've gone over the documentation. I've read about creating batches first then scheduling batches next.
However, the biggest issue I have is that I want to extract all my reports into EXCEL Spreadsheet (.cvs) format and according to the docs, it only supports output in PDF or HTML for 11.1.2.1.
Is this true? Is there a way to work around this by using Business Rules at command prompt?
Thanks,
N

If you have the Financial Report open there are two options:
- in the bottom right hand corner of the report click the link: "Export In Query ready Mode"
(this opens the report so you can use it as an Excel retrieve)
- from the Hyperion menu, select File>Export>Excel
(this exports the headers as objects and the data grid, so you can manipulate in Excel).
Cheers, Iain

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

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

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)_/¯

Can I use my MacBook's Audio-In plug for headphones?

I am going on a trip and would like to watch movies with my friend on the way, and I was wondering if we could use both the audio-in & audio-out plugs for headphones?

No, what you need to do is get a y-splitter like this one:

Export all dimension using a report scripts

Does anybody has an idea on how to Export the dimensions from Essbase through a report script? Because i will use this to load the dimensions in odi.
any idea is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hanson

If you look at my blog, I talk about the <preview function. it brings back them members with zeros as the values. It's much quicker than actually returning the data.
There is a problem in general with your premise of using a report script to do this. For ODI, you will want the dimensions in a parent child format. The report script will not do that for you. I would suggest you look at the outline extractor housed on applied olap's web site. www.appliedolap.com it's free and you can run it in a batch mode.
I think you should also look at John Goodwin's blog http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/ he has a series of articles on ODI. you whould be able to extract the dimensionality from a cube and load it into another cube directly from ODI

Web Analysis Problem using the "Send to Excel" service

I built reports using WebAnalysis 9.3.0.
I attached the "Send to Excel" service button to my report. I am using a combination of Excel 2003 & 2007.
I have the following settings in my webanalysis.properties file:
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
My problem is when I try to use the "Send to Excel" button. For "small" reports Excel opens quickly with my report information. Small being around 1,000 rows and 20 columns. If I add more rows, say another 400 or so - Excel never opens with my report information. Web Analysis sits there for about 5 minutes or so and does nothing. After that I can start using WA again - but no report in Excel.
I get the same result by right clicking on the report in WA Studio and selecting "Export Data..."
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=D:\\Progra~1\Micros~1\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe;C:\\Progra~1\Micros~2\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
Where D:\\Progra~1\Micros~1\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe is the path to Excel as installed on the server where WA Studio is installed.
And C:\\Progra~1\Micros~2\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe is the path to Excel as installed on my laptop.
This did not correct my problem.
Am I using the ExcelPath=.... correctly?
I was not sure this would work since WA Studio successfully starts Excel for "smaller" reports. But I tried it anyway.
Any ideas?

Report script export 0 KB file from BSO application

HI, I am try to export budget data from classic planning application using report script in essbase. Report script is not giving any erros. After successful execution it is creating 0kb file. I am able to export data for the same combination using Calculation script. But, report script is not giving any output. I need to export data using report script only. Can any one help on this.

Can you post the calculation script too?
{SUPMISSINGROWS}
<PAGE(SCENARIO,VERSION,CURRENCY,YEAR,CUSTOME3)
BUDGET FINAL Local FY13
<ROW(ENTITY,ACCOUNT,CUSTOME1,CUSTOME2,PERIOD)
<LINK(IDESCENDANTS(ENTITY) AND <LEV(ENTITY,0))
<LINK(IDESCENDANTS(ACCOUNT) AND <LEV(Account,0))
<LINK(IDESCENDANTS(CUSTOME1) AND <LEV(CUSTOME1,0))
<LINK(IDESCENDANTS(CUSTOME2) AND <LEV(CUSTOME2,0))
JUL
<COLUMN(HSP_RATES)
HSP_INPUTVALUE
Why do you want to use LINK if you are pulling all level 0 <LEV will do the trick, unless you are targeting a specific parent other than the root.

Cartesian Product - Report script

Hi All,
I am trying to export data for a specific scenario and version using report script.
I am taking level 0 members of a specific dimension and it is throwing error as follows:
"The Product of member counts across all dimensions in the query exceeds 2^64"
I think the cartesian product is beyond the limit value.
Is there any alternative method to export data of level 0 members for that dimension?
or is there any command to select only few members from that dimension, so that I can make into two scripts and execute to export data.
Thanks.
Regards
Rav

"or is there any command to select only few members from that dimension,"
Take a look at the member selection report script commands. If you have a hierarchies in your dimensions than you can use these to "break up"/more narrowly focus your report script

How to get latest added file from a folder using apple script

Hi..
I am trying to get a latest added file from a folder..and for this i have below script
tell application "Finder"
    set latestFile to item 1 of (sort (get files of (path to downloads folder)) by creation date) as alias
    set fileName to latestFile's name
end tell
By using this i am not able to get latest file because for some files the creation date is some older date so is there any way to get latest file based on "Date Added" column of a folder.

If you don't mind using GUI Scripting (you must enable access for assistive devices in the Accessibility System Preference pane), the following script should give you a reference to the last item added to any folder. Admittedly not the most elegant solution, but it works, at least under OS X 10.8.2.
set theFolder to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set theFolderWindow to container window of theFolder
    set alreadyOpen to exists theFolderWindow
    tell theFolderWindow
        open
        set theInitialView to current view
        set current view to icon view
    end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
    -- Arrange by None:
    set theInitialArrangement to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item "Arrange By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is "✓"
    keystroke "0" using {control down, command down}
    -- Sort by Date Added:
    set theInitialSortingOrder to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item "Sort By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is "✓"
    keystroke "4" using {control down, option down, command down}
    -- Get the name of the last item:
    set theItemName to name of image 1 of UI element 1 of last scroll area of splitter group 1 of (window 1 whose subrole is "AXStandardWindow")
    -- Restore the initial settings:
    click menu item theInitialSortingOrder of menu 1 of menu item "Sort By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
    click menu item theInitialArrangement of menu 1 of menu item "Arrange By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
    set current view of theFolderWindow to theInitialView -- restore the initial view
    if not alreadyOpen then close theFolderWindow
    set theLastItem to item theItemName of theFolder
end tell
theLastItem

Hello Gurus,
Is it possible to display 2 members of the same dimension in adjacent columns using Report Scripts? if not what is the best available option?
Consider this Sample Outline
+Product
+-Cofee
+---Cafined
+-------1100
+-------1200
+---Decafined
+-------1300
+-------1400

The format of the desired report is
======= Jan Feb Mar
1100 Cofee 8 8 8
1200 Cofee 8 8 8
1300 Cofee 7 7 7
1400 Cofee 7 7 7
1500 Soda 6 6 6
================
Please Can some one help me in this regard!
Thanks In Advance

If I remember correctly when I wanted to do something similar I imported the report with the level 0 members into SQL Server and then joined on a mapping table (was a parent/child table in our case) to get the other column. In our situation we already had the mapping table readily available because this is where the dimension was built from!
