• Access to several cubes Essbase ASO through a single cube

  Hello
  I have 10 cubes ASO and each cube contains data of one day (one day contains lines of facts about 30 million). Is there a feature in Essbase that combines all these cubes ((like a virtual cube)? Or can we do this task using the BI server. If we are unable to combine these cube then what is the best method I could use to query all 10 cubes at a time?
  Thank you in advance.
  
  Concerning

  It sounds like you could have 10 cubes ASO partitioned seamlessly to a cube of target (OSB?) users could connect you to receive the combined data. It makes life easier if they are all the same size. The target would have every day and each source cube could be partitioned by day.

• Calculations of the rate of aggregation in essbase ASO SEEP cubes

  The question (limitation to ASO) we tried to find a solution/workaround. ON PBCS (Cloud)
  

  Details of the application:

  
  Application: type of ASO in cloud Oracle planning 11.1.2.3 (PBCS) application

  
  Dimension : Total 8 dimensions. Account to the dynamic hierarchy. Remaining 7 dimensional hierarchies Stored value. Only 2 dimensions have about 5000 members and others are relatively small and flat hierarchies.

  Description of the question of the requirement: We have a lot of calculations in the sketch that use amount = units * rates type of logic. The obligation is such that these calculation logic should apply only to the intersections of Level0 and then data resulted must roll up (down) to the respective parents across all dimensions. But when apply us this hierarchical logic / formula calculation to ASO, the logic(i.e.,amount=units*rate) of calculation is applied at all levels (not only the leaf level) of remaining dimensions. Here, rates are also numbers derived using the formula MDX.

  Some of the options explored so far:
  Option1: This is an expected behavior in ASO as all stored hierarcies are calculated first, then the dynamic hierarchies. So we tried to change the formula for each of the calculated members to explicitly summarize data at parent levels using algorithm as shown below.

  IF (Leaf Level combination)
  amount = units * rate
  Else / * for all levels parents * /.
  Use the function sum adding up the amounts between the children of the current members of dimension1, dimension2 and so on.
  End

  Result: Recovery works through the parents for a dimension. When the summary level members are selected in 2 or more dimensions, the recovery freezes.

  Option2: Change the type of hierarchy to group all the dimensions to "Dynamic" so that they calc after account (i.e. after amount = units * rate runs at intersections Level0).

  Result: Same as option 1. Although the aggregation works through one or 2 dimensions, it freezes when the summary level members are from many dimensions.

  Option3: ASO use custom Calc.
  We created a custom calc by fixing the POV Level0 members of any size and with the amount of formul = units * rate.

  Result: Calc never ends because the rate used is a dynamic calc with formula MDX (which is needed to roll forward rates for a specified period at all the following exercises).

  If you could get any help on this, it would be a great help.

  
  

  Thank you and best regards,

  Alex keny
  

  
  

  
  

  Your best bet is to use the allocation of the ASO, what difference does make. (one ton)

  There are a few messages blog out there that can help you meet this goal. (including mine), the trick is to create a member calculated with a NONEMPTYMEMBER in the formula

  Then it will be a member with an inside MDX formula

  NONEMPTYMEMBER units, rates

  Units * rates

  Now, make a copy of data (allocation) of this member-to-Member stored.

• Automate the creation of contour in Essbase with lots

  I installed Essbase and IST version 11 and created meta-model and Meta outline in the environmental impact assessment.
  Also created an application in the service of the Administration of Essbase. I need help to load the dimensions of the environmental impact study in the
  Application using a batch file.
  
  Any help/input would be really appreciated.
  
  EAS/IST/Essbase all three are installed on the same server (windows platform) and database is oracle 10g on the same server.
  I need to automate the process of creating the sketch.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  If you have used EIS, you will notice in the console, when the dimensions of the building or loading data, you can run it immediately, distributes them or save them to a file of cbs. IF save you it as a file of cbs, you can then plan their use with a batch file to run them. The Administrator's guide has a very good explanation of what do the different commands and how to run them

• Automate the backup of Config

  I'm looking to install a way to backup the configuration of my C370.  Currently, I know how to do it manually via the GUI.  Is it possible to automate this process and it backs up through the CLI?  I was searching through the CLI yesterday, but I couldn't find what would save the config on the command.  I guess if I could find the command that I could set up a job through our Kiwi CatTools to do.  I would like to know if anyone knows how to do this, or if you have found another way to do this effectively.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  There are actually two ways to do this.

  You can save the configuration of the CLI by using the saveconfig command. You can load a configuration file using the loadconfig command. I would like to run these commands first, just so that you can see the process. Basically, you can script something around these commands that could do the job.

  We also have a section of Nice knowledge base that covers this topic as well. The approach is a little differnet but the results are the same.

  How can I schedule or automate the backup of the file of configuration XML from my device?  Where he lives?  How to do a scheduled backup of the configuration of a Windows system file?

  Environment:

  -ESA with AsyncOS 6.x or later.
  -A designated host for the introduction and the storage of backups.

  NOTES:

  Familiarity with the BONES of script and forecasts of the tasks is necessary to understand and implement these tasks safely.  Please understand that many of these concepts are beyond the scope of the IronPort customer support and these sample scripts are certainly not taken in charge.  Although these steps have been successfully tested, this article is mainly for purposes of demonstration and illustration.

  The configuration file dynamically generated during the use of the recording or email of the CLI or GUI configuration tools.  To have an effective backup, it is best to "unmask" passwords, which allows you to place a ground form of passwords for local administrative accounts in the device configuration file.  For this reason, we can not simply copy a flat file "running Setup" of the device.  This method allows us to access the device first, issue a command to dynamically build the current configuration, and either save or mail a copy of this file somewhere remotely, without any intervention from the user.  Once this is done, we can then repeat or schedule this task to occur on a regular basis.

  Quickly and automatically save the configuration with the passwords exposed files:

  (1) generate a SSH key pair to use.  Verify that you can access your device via SSH without having to enter a password.  Details on this operation is provided in article #283.

  (2) create script to connect to the device, save the config and copy (or by mail).  Two simple examples written in BASH:

  Example #1: Saving the configuration to a specific host
  #! / bin/bash
  # This saves the config and then he copies locally via SCP in a directory called backup/config-ironport
  HOSTNAME = test.com
  USER name = admin
  FILENAME = "ssh $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME "saveconfig Yes"|" grep xml | cut f 3 - d "" ' "
  SCP $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME:./configuration/$FILENAME./ironport/config-backups /.

  Example #2: Emailing an email address configuration
  #! / bin/bash
  # This sends the config to MAILDEST
  HOSTNAME = MX.test.com
  USER name = admin
  [email protected] / * /.
  SSH $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME 'mailconfig $MAILDEST Yes.

  NOTE: this similar logic can be applied in any scripting language OS such as VB scripts or batch for Windows.  These scripts are intended as examples only rudimentary.

  (3) use cron or or scheduling tool to start work on a regular basis.  Services like cron or Task Scheduler in Windows are easy tools that can be used to automate simple jobs like that.  For example, the * NIX CRON configuration file follows this format:

  minute (0-59), hour (0-23, 0 = midnight), day (1-31), month (1-12), day of the week (0-6, 0 = Sunday), command

  So a good example to run this script every day at 02:00 would look like:
  00 02 * /location/your_script.sh

  Otherwise, here is another method to automate a backup of the configuration.

  How to do a scheduled backup of the configuration of a Windows system file?

  With the following procedure, you can save the configuration on a regular basis of a Windows system file.

  1 install the emulator of terminal 'PuTTY' under C:\

  2. create a text file with the following line and name it "send_config.txt" and place it under C:\ (Change of [email protected] / * / to the email address you want the configuration file must be sent to)

  mailconfig [email protected] / * /.
  3. create a text file with the following lines and name it "send_config_batch.bat" and place it under C:\
  (Change the "hostname" for the host name can be resolved or IP address of your device and the "password" to your real password for the admin account).

  C:\putty.exe-SSH hostname-l - pw admin and password C:\send_config.txt m
  output
  
  4. Add "send_config_batch.bat" to the scheduled task window.

  The Configuration file will be sent to the address specified in the "send_config.txt".

  I hope this helps!

• 11.1.2.3.00 recommended to automate the Migration of production to Test

  Hi all.

  I would like to migrate the following items of Prod to Test and want to automate completely.

  Shared services

  Manager of Calc

  Planning

  Essbase

  HFM

  EPMA

  Can anyone provide a high level of how they would be fully automate all of these objects, including the automation of deployment of applications of EPMA and in what order?

  In addition, guidance on what to monitor (i.e. the issues or security) will be greatly appreciated.

  The recommended route is to use LCM which has a command line utility, so can be automated, LCM also has the ability to export/import all objects by using a utility.

  EPMA also offers a command line utility, so you can automate the deployment.

  HFM, you can use the utility to copy app.

  The problem you face is that LCM don't really remove it from target to make it work much better when it's a clean environment if you want to source and target to match.

  See you soon

• How to automate the unique fusion of multiple JPEG to PDF files.

  I'm looking for an answer that does not purchase a license, or by downloading a shaded part of software.

  I have a batch of a software suite that creates multiple JPEG files every morning. The final product must be a single PDF, prefer it to order a certain way, but not completely necessary. I tried to do it thanks to Excel, but it was very awkward. I'm trying to implement through Adobe Action Wizard and can create the file I'm looking for, but I can't find how to automate in a batch file that I can task in Task Scheduler.

  Currently, I run a file backup all export to PDF and JPG. I then insert page for each PDF in the order I want to insert Pages using the. I can't understand how to automate the Action once it is implemented.

  These are designed to run early in the morning and the PDF picked up by different software and sent to before the start of the day.

  Any assistance in the automation of an action would help enormously.

  Thank you.

  I think you should forget Acrobat. Batch jobs need under license for this software. Acrobat is not. Software Adobe for the server might cost 100 times more.

  In response to your question using the maxl for loading scripts?

  If Yes, I've seen and deliver in the batch (ex: load_data.bat) that is you do not have the path of the maxl script complete with a batch when passing through the event the task scheduler will work, but the log file and / or error will not be created. Which means lots claims it linked task scheduler, although he did not do what you need to.

  If you use maxl use this as the batch

  "essmsh C:\data\DataLoad.mxl" or you can also use the full path for the maxl or work elsewhere. The only reason why I think that the maxl can then not work is if you do not have the updated batch updated to call on all LANE changes maxl or if you need to update your environment variables to correct the command essmsh to work in a command prompt.

  The Select-Object cmdlet does not return the name of the LUN as a string, but as a ScsiLunImpl object.

  The New-Datatsore cmdlet requires a string for the - Path parameter.

  You can do

  $con = (Get-ScsiLun).CanonicalName

• How to automate the CDC &amp; logging in OID

  Hello, I'm looking to undestand and collect steps required in ODI to succenfully automate the process of CDC. I'm at a stage where I do all my configuration inerfaces the data source to directing to the target successfully.
  I am able to apply the simple jounalizing and move the new or changed data to target the inerfaces by executung manually, but cannot get it done aumatically. I've read a few articles and they're talking about either adding toll ODIwaitforlogdata package or by creating a script and run it through the Scheduler.
  
  My question is, is ODIwaitforlogdata command used to automate the process of the cdc, if not what is it? I'd appreciate if guru could explain in detail?

  This should be
  "- TABLE_NAME = CDC_MAINT_EMPLOYER '.

• Automate the character styles?

  Tuesday morning, I sit and one hundred and fifty summer events to pop in a leaflet. Choice is easy - I can print them and type them. In the shower, however, I started thinking about choice B, and I don't know if InDesign can do what I want.
  
  I have control over the database where they are hosted, and it is quite easy for me to pop in the format
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Date - time [CR]
  Name of the event
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Date - time [CR]
  Name of the event
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Date - time [CR]
  Name of the event
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  What is all the information I need on this document. On the finished product, I'll Date and time to have character styles applied (for color and weight). It is not difficult for me to assign keys quick access to styles of character and to make this hand - twenty minutes of boredom.
  
  But!
  
  Could format that
  
  (where the symbols are just unique symbols)
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ªDate - ∞ £ time [CR]
  Name of the event
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  and then use a find/replace to tell InDesign
  
  -in the case of 'ª... ". ∞ ", apply the style of character 'Style of Date'
  
  -in the case of "£...", apply the style of character 'Time style' "
  
  and then go through and remove all instances of ª ∞, £ and
  
  ?
  
  (Additional spaces applied for ease of reading)
  
  Or, if I'm imagining this wrong, is there another way I can format the original data to automate the application of styles?

  Even I don't think that you would need to grep for that.

  I would create two paragraph styles, one for the date and time with the following style being the name of the event and the name of the event, including the next style time.

  Then create a character for the time style and have the paragraph style base for date/time, or just for the date of the formatting you want.

  The style of time date would have a style nested with none by the hyphen and the time until the end of the paragraph.

  Place the text and then select everything from him and in paragraph styles, right panel click on time and in the context menu, choose apply date/time and following.

  Who must fully put in shape all your text.
