VB Script to extract data

Is it possible to extract data from HFM application using VB script? If so how?
Thanks.

You could use this to create a command line program which you could easily call to do what you want.

This is one way of doing this.

Generate Insert Statement Script to Extract Data from Table in Oracle 7i

Hi all, I have an old Oracle legacy system that is running for over 15 years.Every now and then we need to extract data from this table@ ORacle 7i to be imported back to Oracle 10G.
My thoughts are to create a script of Insert statements in oracle 7 and that to be deployed back to Oracle 10G.
I found this scripts in Google and not sure how exactly this works.Any explanation on thsi scripts , would be greatly appreciated.I find this scripst may help to generate a set of insert statements from that table to the latest table at 10G.

-- Step 1: Create this procedure:
create or replace Function ExtractData(v_table_name varchar2) return varchar2 As

Thanks Justin.
I get what you are saying,i really wanted to see the output of the codes, because the furtherst i could get from that code is
SELECT EXTRACTDATA('MYTABLE') FROM MYTABLE;
and it generated this:

plz your help
thank you at advance

Hi,
What is your DB version?? If it is >10g, you can use the Q delimiter (as mentioned by Solomon).
Check this out.

Urgent issues indicate a live/production system is having problems and a company is losing money, or customers are being prevented from using it.
For urgent issues you should raise your issue with Oracle Support using your customer support identifier.
The community forums are for non-urgent issues. To suggest such issues are urgent is considered rude, as the people who help here are volunteers with their own jobs to do, so demanding their time for your "urgent" issue is not appropriate. It also suggests that you think your issue is more important than other people's issues, so you are being rude to those people too. Your issue is no more important than anyone elses.
In relation to your question, you need to provide more information.
Please read: Re: 2. How do I ask a question on the forums?
When you refer to "SQL Server" are you referring to the Microsoft SQL Server product, or are you just referring to a physical server with your oracle database on it?

Extract data from Essbase using APIs

Hi All
I was going through the API documentation for Essbase and data extraction from Essbase using API.
It seems APIs make use of Report script to extract data from Essbase. This would increae the overhead of writing a report script everytime you need to extract data from Essbase.
Is there any other method to extract/export whole or specific data from essbase using APIs?
How does Excel Add-in retrieves data from essbase without any report script?
Can Provider services be helpful in any way to achieve this?
Please help

Hi,
Its hard to say if there is a faster way without knowing how you're doing it now. A few questions:
- why are you using the API to get at Essbase Data, especially if you've already defined a (some) report scripts?
- if you want to use provider services, vs having to ensure all the libraries and the client are present, why not use the JAPI?
- Without seeing your code, its hard to know why you're getting out of memory errors. What are you doing with the data as you're parsing it from the report?
Grid API exists for the C API, and more noteable the JAPI, but not VB(I'm surprised the VB api still exists).
Why not just use the Java API?

Oracle function to extract data into excel sheet within a script

I have extracted data from a couple of tables onto a view. Basically I have got about 15 coloums in that view but i need to extract the data in the view into an Excel sheet.
I just want to know if their is a function in oracle whereby i can export the data in the view onto an excel sheet, because this statements is going to be scripted and run every morning for the data to be processed.
Oracle version: oracle 9i
OS : Windows 2003

If this is a one-off then IDEs such as TOAD typically
let you export the results of a query in an
appropriate format for Excel.Note:
because this statements is going to be scripted and run
every morning for the data to be processedSo that won't be feasible in this case, but it was a good point to make.

Report Script Help Needed - Data Extract

Hi,
I have a cube with 11 dims: Account, Period, Resource, Facility, SSSS, CCCC, Activity, Years, Version, Scenario, Charges
I need a report script that will extract data for a certain year and scenario only. I have not written a report script in a long time and have the following thus far. However it's not extracting data that I know exists. Can anyone help? Thanks is advance. This runs but I just get a blank screen or file....
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
// This report script extracts data from cube
"FY11"
{DECIMAL 4}
{NAMEWIDTH 25}
{SUPCOMMAS}
{SUPBRACKETS}
{SUPPAGEHEADING}
{NOINDENTGEN}
{SUPMISSINGROWS}
{SUPZEROROWS}
{TABDELIMIT}
{SUPFEED}
{ROWREPEAT}
"JAN"
"FEB"
"MAR"
//"APR"
//"MAY"
//"JUN"
//"JUL"
//"AUG"
//"SEP"
//"OCT"
//"NOV"
//"DEC"
"BUDGET"
// This is the members of the CCCC dimension to extract
// This is the members or the ACCOUNT dimension to extract
!

Hello -
You can try/modify the code below and see if this works -
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
{ SUPMISSINGROWS }
{ SUPZEROROWS }
{ SUPFEED, SUPBRACKETS, SUPCOMMAS }
{ NOINDENTGEN }
{ DECIMAL 4}
{ NAMEWIDTH 30 }
{ ROWREPEAT }
{ TABDELIMIT }
{MISSINGTEXT "-" }
<PAGE ("Scenario", "Resource", "Facility" ,"SSSS", "Activity", "Version", "Charges")
"Budget"
"Resource"
"Facility"
"SSSS"
"Activity"
"Version"
"Charges"
<COLUMN ("Year","Period")
"FY11"
"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"
<ROW ("Account", "CCCC")
<LINK (<DESCENDANTS ("ACCOUNT") AND <LEV("ACCOUNT",0))
<LINK (<DESCENDANTS ("RT9_CCCC") AND <LEV("CCCC",0))
Here you may want to change teh combination in the Page dimensions for eg -
I know for Scenario you want Budget
But for Version should it be "Version" or may be "Working" Or "Final" or any other version dimension member ...?
Same way modify the dimension memebres for other dimensions.

Extract data from Essbase - MDX/Report Script

Hi,
I was trying to extract data from an ASO cube using both MDX and Report Script approaches.
I liked the MDX_ method since i could specify:
- level zero members with values for the Revenue measure.
SELECT
{[Revenue]} on columns,
NON EMPTY{[Accounts].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(1),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts2].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(2),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts3].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(3),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts4].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(4)
FROM CUBER.CUBER
Problem:_ For other measure, it shows many #Missing at Cost measure field. Not sure how it happened. I tried to use:
SELECT
{[Revenue]} on columns,
NON EMPTY{ FILTER ([Accounts].Levels(0).Members}, [Revenue] <> Missing) on AXIS(1),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts2].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(2)
FROM CUBER.CUBER
But still does not solve the issue.
Then i tried to use Report Script_ approach. However, it is not simple to declare that i want all level zero members within dimension Account1 (which has 5 level hierarchy, with level zero members almost each level) and only entries that has values for my measure "Revenue" or "Cost"

Hi Ye
For extracting data from Essbase you need to have either Calc script or Report script and you have to use LKM Essbase(Data) to SQL as your KM
For loading data into SQL server you can use IKM SQL Append or IKM SQL incremental update.
When you use Essbase as your source you have to use LKM ESSBASE (MetaData) to SQL as your KM.
So all sources would have LKMs (as KMs) and all targets have IKM as KMs.

If it does not come from the code, are there some cases wherethe reports "ignore" members (shared, dynamic...)?I can not find a logic behind the data loss...

Oh, sorry, let me rewrite. ---- Hi, I recommend that you put "<SPARSE" command above "<COLUMN (CURRENCY)". It will improve its performance greatly. Takashi.

Extracting data from Oracle to a flat file

I'm looking for options to extract data a table or view at a time to a text file. Short of writing the SQL to do it, are there any other ideas? I'm dealing with large volumes of data, and would like a bulk copy routine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB'sFlat file is adequate only from VARCHAR2, NUMBER, & DATA datatypes.
Other datatypes present a challenge within text file.
A more robust solution is to use export/import to move data between Oracle DBs.

Extract data from Essbase with HAL to a flat file

Hello,
I would like to extract data from Essbase with HAL.
I use the essbase Adapter with the "Extract Data" Method.
All is working when I use only the essbase Adaptater and configure it.
But I want to have a variable on my Years dimension.
I have to fill "Years member port" and "Years Criteria port" of my essbase Adapter with variable.
I have a "v_year" and "v_year_criteria" variable. I fill "v_year" with "FY05" but I don't know how fill my "v_year_criteria" variable.
Thanks a lor for answer.

If you are in 9.3x, I would recommend using the DATAEXPORT calc script function. You just FIX on what you want to export (including substitution variables), and then fill in some parameters and it writes a file. Look in the DBAG.

Report Script returns no data and "java.io.FileNotFoundException" error

When attempting to write to a new file (Eg: C:\TEST.txt), Report Script returns no data and "java.io.FileNotFoundException" error occurs.
This error occurs only in Essbase 9.3.1.3 release, however it works fine in release 9.3.1.0.
After running the report the script, it pops up the follwing message:
"java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\temp\eas17109.tmp (The system cannot find the file specified): C:\TEST.txt"
When checked the TEST.txt, it was empty.

Sorry folks, I just found out the reason. Its because there was no data in the combination what I was extracting.
but is this the right error message for that? It should have atleast create a blank file right?

Extracting data from Excel To Illustrator javascript or vbscript

Hi all-
I was wondering if there was a way to extract data from Excel to be used in Illustrator. I know there is an option of variables and xml, and I don't want that. I've seen and tried out how to read illustrator and write to excel, and I get that. What I would like to do is pretty much the opposite:
1.Pre-fill in an Excel file(.xls,.csv, doesn't matter) with data such as a filename in column 1 and (Replacement Text) in column 2 and close manually.
2. Run script(VBSCRIPT,Javascript, doesn't matter)
3.For each column in Excel file where cell in first column is not empty, open Illustrator Template with placeholder of "DWG" textframe and replace the frame titled "DWG" with Replacement text from Excel in Column2.
4, Save each to a PDF file and name file with text from Excel Column1(Filename)
In a nutshell, there will be a single illustrator template with a premade textFrame with a name of "DWG". Excel will contain two columns, one for the filename to be named and one for the relative text to replace with the placeholder in AI. I hoped I explained this well enough without causing too much confusion. Thanks in advance.
Filename
Replacement Text
test1.pdf
DWG01
test2.pdf
DWG02
test3.pdf
DWG03
test4.pdf
DWG04

As text… \n is new line character and \r is return character. I can't remember which excel uses but they both equate to a line/paragraph… I very quickly threw together an example for you…
#target Illustrator
textToPDF();
function textToPDF() {
 if ( app.documents.length == 0 ) { return; }
 var doc, csvFile, i, fileArray, opts;
 csvFile = File( '~/Desktop/ScriptTest/Test.csv' );
 if ( !csvFile.exists ) { return; }
 fileArray = readInCSV( csvFile );
 doc = app.activeDocument;
 opts = new PDFSaveOptions();
 opts.pDFPreset = '[Press Quality]';
 // Here we loop the main array
 for ( i = 0; i < fileArray.length; i++ ) {
 // Here we get the second item of sub array i
 doc.textFrames.getByName( 'DWG' ).contents = fileArray[i].[1];
 // Here we get the first item of sub array i
 doc.saveAs( File( fileArray[i].[0] ), opts );
function readInCSV( fileObj ) {
 var fileArray, thisLine, csvArray;
 fileArray =[];
 fileObj.open( 'r' );
 while( !fileObj.eof ) {
 thisLine = fileObj.readln();
 csvArray = thisLine.split( ',' );
 fileArray.push( csvArray );
 fileObj.close();
 return fileArray;
I haven't tested it but it should be close…?

Need suggestion on how to extract data from a table

Many years ago, I wrote many Perl scripts to increase my work productivity.
Now I am starting learning Java, Javascript and PHP for some purposes. Just wrote a simple html2txt java program.
Now I need experts' suggestion for one specific purpose - extract data from a html table. One of the examples is here: http://mops.tse.com.tw/nas/t06sa18/200902/A02_2454_200902.htm
I need to extract datum from the table and make some analysis. (Txt is in Chinese, sorry)
What is the best way to code it? Java, PHP or other? If Java, any suggestion what classes/module and approach to use?
Thanks very much.

What is the best way to code it? It this a one shot (one time only task)? Then the best way is whatever way you are most comfortable with and which works.
If on going then I doubt language choice matters but using a html parser rather than attempting to parse it yourself is going to help in any language.
And are you starting with html files or starting with a http server? The two are very different.
