Utility to extract ADS file from Planning application

Hi,
We had a Planning System 9.3 Classic application. We wanted to create a replica of the same as an EPMA application. We used a utility to extract ADS file from classic application. Post that the classic application has locked i.e we are not able to edit it. All dimensions are in view mode. Kindly let us know how to revert back in edit mode for classic application.
Thanks and Regards,
Meenal Dhall

Hi,
I think you have come across the bug in the EPMA extractor, if I remember correctly it changes a value in a table which stops you editing in classic.
You can resolve this looking at your planning system database.
There is a table called HSPSYS_PROPERTIES.
The field property_id is the application id, you find what application it relates to by looking at HSPSYS_APPLICATION
Once you know the id for your application
In the table HSPSYS_PROPERTIES look for a row with EDIT_DIM_ENABLED and change the value in the next field from false to true
Restart planning and you should be able to edit again.
Cheers

Any utility or tool which extracts/exports security from planning application

Hi Everyone, Would like to know if there is any utility or tool whichextracts/exports security from planning application. By security i mean dimensional level security plus users andgroups. Or SQL queries to fire on planning repository. Or any workaround. Thanks,

I'm not 100% certain, but you can try the ESD tool on the hyperion community portal (www.hyped.biz). It was designed for Essbase, but it's possible that it will work properly on a planning cube. Besides dumping security, it captures server, app, and db settings, flags user and group exceptions, validates filters, and generally gives some nice feedback. -Doug.

Error while extracting XML file from the application server

Hi ,
I am writing a XML file into the application server, after which when i try to extract the file to the local server using the report - RFASLDPC ,
the file is extracted, but with a '#' symbol at the first position.
Because of which the XML File does not open. But after i open the file in notepad and manually delete the '#' symbol and then reopen the file, it works fine.
Is there any way to remove the '#' symbol while extracting itself ??
Thanks in advance,
Vikas.

Select the option "No Character Set Conversion" in stead of Code page 1100.
However, I still have troubles -> the downloaded xml file misses a space on several places. This causes errors too.

Extracting Dimension from Planning Application through EPMA File Generator

Hi,
I have a EPMA planning application (in version 11.1.1.2) and I want to extract its dimensions in to a ads file. I am using EPMA File Generator 9.3.1 for the purpose.
I am selecting the "From Planning Application" tab and entering all the required details, but when I execute... I get error "Unable to get metadata. Please check the web URL, application name, and application server."
I checked the web URL which is:
http://<server name>:8300/HyperionPlanning
and my application name & server are also correct...
Please help me to find out what exactly is going wrong here...
Thanks & Regards,
AK

Why are you using 9.3.1 version, is there not a newer version in \Hyperion\products\Foundation\BPMA\EPMAFileGenerator\
Also if it an EPMA application you can use the EPMA tab to generate the ADS.

Hi John,
Thanks for quick reply.
I am browsing through the RDBMS tables, I didn't find the smart list items in HSP_OBJECT table. Which tables contains the smart list items?

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

Extracting .s2p files from 8722A Network Analyzer?

Hi,
I wish to extract .s2p files from my HP 8722A Network Analyzer.
I could not find a driver for it. It is connected to my computer over GPIB.
I am quite new to this, so if anyone could explain the overall process to extract .s2p files from a network Analyzer, that would be much appreciated.
I imagine that one takes a measurement, stores it under a certain filename, then a command retrieves it and sends it to the computer?
Thank you so much,
Nicolas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nicolas,
Instead of extracting the .s2p files, which because of the age of the device (manual I found said 1991), could be very difficult, I think we would be better served communicating with the device directly and not using the files it creates. Instead of the process you described, we could set it to take a measurement, send the measurement to the computer, and have the computer do any manipulation/saving it may need.
This manual discusses the basics of communication over GPIB with that device in chapter 12:
http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/08720-90135.pdf
GPIB communication is typically pretty simple. The computer will just send the device in question the command or series of commands then wait for the response back, much like the GPIB examples in labview (Example finder>>Hardware IO>>GPIB).
Unfortunately for us, the Agilent website here:
http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/product.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=8722A:epsgro&nid=-536900197.53690...
only has the operating and service manuals, and not the programming reference manual. You may want to contact agilent to get the programming reference manual, as that will list all of the commands you need to send the device.

I am trying to deploy images using WDS on server 2008 and need the inf files for this to succeed, does anyone have the answer to this problem.
thanks in advance.

Hi
I found this tip:
Someone wrote this:
+You have to run the installer, wait for it to get to the first point where you click Next to continue, and then leave it sitting there. Go into your system's Temp and find the particular one with the installation files inside it that were extracted, then copy it someplace, go back to the installer and cancel it.+
You could also try this freeware application to extract the package:

Extracting .xls file from an FTP site

Hi there,
I'm trying to run a DI solution that is extracting a file from a FTP site. DI can see the file but it gives me an error saying that:
FTP could not transfer file <FTP site/myfile.xls> from host <IP Address>: <>. Please ensure that the FTP relative path for the SAP R/3 working directory is set correctly such that the data file is accessible to the FTP
Can someone please help with this.
Thank you.

Hi,
thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

Hi Kashmore,
Seems like the downloaded file was corrupt that could be because of either network restriction or the anti virus might have blocked it. My suggestion would be to try and download the product either by turning off the Antivirus or try a different network.
