Help to use MaxL to automate data loading Essbase

Hello

I am trying to automate the loading of data in an Essbase Database (for a planning application). My current script using the Maxl shell looks like this:

MaxL >
DATABASE Application.Database DATA IMPORT
OF TEXT SERVER DATA_FILE * 'data.csv' *.
With the HELP of SERVER RULES_FILE * 'csv. "
ERROR WRITING to *'c:\\hyperion\\MaxL_logs\data_csv.err'*.

In the script bold text indicates specific names or files for my case.

Using this script works successfully to load data in my planning application, as long as the data data.csv file is located in the directory of Planning application database. I want to be able to do is to load the data file data.csv from a directory that I clarify, as the data file cannot be placed in the directory database and must have its own directory instead.

Does anyone know what I need to use in a MaxL script to load a data file that is not in the directory database of the syntax? I can provide more information if needed. Thank you.

Hello

Have you tried...

DATABASE Application.Database DATA IMPORT
OF DATA_FILE TEXT "C:\\temp\\data.csv".
With the HELP of SERVER RULES_FILE 'csv '.
ON ERROR WRITE to 'c:\\hyperion\\MaxL_logs\data_csv.err ';

or

DATABASE Application.Database DATA IMPORT
TEXT LOCAL DATA_FILE 'C:\\temp\\data.csv '.
With the HELP of SERVER RULES_FILE 'csv '.
ON ERROR WRITE to 'c:\\hyperion\\MaxL_logs\data_csv.err ';

See you soon

  • You can use SubVar in header data load rule?

    I think it's a 'no '.  We get a data file:

    Jan | FY13. Petty cash | Dept200 | Forecasts | Working | 25.00

    We want to ignore the 6th "fieldwork" and instead load the data that the & subvar Version has the value.   I try it and it does not work but maybe someone thought new a way forward in the DLR?

    Thank you

    Yes you can do it. I found problems when I got it that the last value of multiple values in the header. moving forward fixed my problem to just put in as & variablename or a certain number of members

    & variablename, 'Real', 'nextdim' without the quotes around the variable and the commas between the names of members. You don't mention what version you're on, but I think the oldest supported version is 9.3.1

  • loading data to essbase using EAS against back-end script

    Good afternoon

    We have noticed recently that when loading of our ASO cube (with the help of back-end scripts - esscmd etc.) it seems to load much more overhead then when using EAS and loading files of data individually.  When loading using scripts, the total size of the cube has been 1.2 gig.  When you load the files individually to EAS, the size of the cube has been 800 meg.  Why the difference?  is there anything we can do in scripts supported to reduce this burden?

    Thank you

    You are really using EssCmd to load the ASO cubes?  You should use MAxL with buffers to load. Default EAS uses a buffer to load when you load multiple files. Esscmd (and without the command buffer MAxL) won't. It means loads long and larger files. Loading ASO, it takes the existing .dat file and adds the new data. When you are not using a buffer load, it takes the .dat file and the .tmp file and merges together, then when you do the second file, it takes the files .dat (which includes the first load data) and repeats the process. Whenever he does that he has to move together (twice) .dat file and there is growth of the .dat files. If nothing else I'll call it fragmentation, but I don't think it's as simple as that. I think it's just the way the data is stored. When you use a buffer and no slices, he need only do this once.

    Hello

    What ODI and patch version you are running.
    Looks like you are using a KM newer than the java files that are located in the oracledi\drivers directory, I would say that you need to update the files java essbase for a newer version.
    In the last few patch releases memory size buffer has been added to the data load essbase KM for the use of the ASO, even if this meant you had to also update the java files as well as in the version.

  • Archives old data of Essbase database

    Running Essbase 6.5.3. (I know, it's old, but...) Running UNIX.

    I have a database of Essbase with data from 2002. I want to archive all data prior to 2006. I always have these data available for users in a separate database, but wants to reduce the amount of data in our primary database. Does anyone have the steps to do this?

    I was intending to make a copy of the application/database active using the Regional service. Perform export/import of data of level 0. My problem is that I don't know exactly how to divide the export files.

    I read a few forum messages that suggested using grep against the export file to divide the old data new data. I know how to use grep, but don't know exactly what to grep for the file. Initially, I thought I could grep based on the period (Jan_02, Feb_02, etc.), but after looking at the export file, there are lines that do not have these data. It looks like these lines of type, maybe "header." Do I need to include all type header lines in the 'current' and 'old' files?

    Also, FYI, the export file is too large to open in vi, which makes it a little more interesting.

    I wouldn't try to manipulate the export files.

    Simply copy the existing application to a new application with the data and then open the outline and remove unwanted members of the year. Save and restructure the contour and you'll have your archived data.

    Another option would be to use a rule of data loading to load the export file. As a rule set column properties to select or reject the required years and load files.

  • Passing parameters to MaxL to be used in a data load rule

    I would like to create a MaxL script that accepts parameters, and this parameter is then used ina given load rule, IE. It will be used to set the exercise used in a data load rule field.

    is it possible somehow? I don't see how I can use the settings of a rule of data loading, but maybe I could use MaxL to set the parameter as a value in a variable substitution and maybe use this way?


    Thank you.

    You gave the answer, yousef. You cannot pass parameters to a MaxL statement to a rule of the charge, but charge rules may have them-substitution variables (System 9 or newer). If the void var in a statement MaxL value, then on the State of charge, use that sub var fade like a header or a column header

    3. can I load data from several tables into essbase. If Yes please let me know the procedure.

    Hello

    In the interface and the target data store, you can enter a value in the field of cartography.
    For example, if you have a column called year in your target data store and you still want to load FY09, then you would enter "FY09" in the field of cartography

    3 import database 'app'.' DB' database server text data_file "ABC.txt"-> to reload Level0

    Now I get 'Error of syntax near end of statement' on this stage even after trying 'server data_file' too. I had read some examples to use '$ARBORPATH', but that doesn't seem too hard. It's for 11.1.2.4

    Perhaps you lack the error on your import, the following works part

    import of database sample.basic data server 'level0.txt' error abortion data_file;

    Also environment variables will be levied on the machine that is running the session MaxL.

    See you soon

  • Data loading convert timestamp

    I use APEX 5.0 and download data wizard allows to transfer data from excel.

    I define Update_Date as timestamp (2) and the data in Excel is 2015/06/30 12:21:57

    NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT is HH12:MI:SSXFF AM JJ/MM/RR

    I created the rule of transformation for update_date in the body of the function, plsql as below

    declare

    l_input_from_csv varchar2 (25): = to_char(:update_date, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH12:MI:SS AM');

    l_date timestamp;

    Start

    l_date: = to_timestamp (l_input_from_csv, ' MM/DD/YYYY HH12:MI: SS AM' ");

    Return l_date;

    end;

    I keep having error of transformation rule.  If I do create a transformation rule, it will ask for invalid month.

    Please help me to fix this.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Please test on demand delivery data loading

    I stick a few examples to the Instruction of Page, you can use copy and paste function, it will give the same result

    Please change a coma separator ',' on the other will be message "do not load".

    Check your Application 21919. I changed the rule of transformation:

    Data is loading properly.

    Kind regards

  • Ignore the ASO - zero data loads and missing values

    Hello

    There is an option that ignores the zero values & the missing values in the dialog box when loading data in cube ASO interactively via EAS.

    Y at - it an option to specify the same in the MAXL Import data command? I couldn't find a technical reference.

    I have 12 months in the columns in the data flow. At least 1/4 of my data is zeros. Ignoring zeros keeps the size of the cube small and faster.

    We are on 11.1.2.2.

    Appreciate your thoughts.

    Thank you

    Ethan.

    The thing is that it's hidden in the command Alter Database (Aggregate Storage) , when you create the data loading buffer.  If you are not sure what a buffer for loading data, see loading data using pads.
