• MaxL Script and batch file

  I have a MaxL script that exports data from different cubes Level0. I have a batch file to call this script at daily intervals.
  
  I want to name something out of different every day (preferably NAMEmmdd type format). I know that I can add a rename or move the lot but wonder if there is a MaxL method that will allow me to export to another name?
  
  Current MaxL is simply
  export database APP. Level0 data_file DB database ' ' $Arborpath\am1119.txt "";
  
  Ideas or direction to go learn the answer?

  Hello

  You can enter variables in maxl, so you the calling batch file can pass in a variable that contains the name of the file with the current date...

  For example, you have a batch file
  essmsh c:\temp\export.mxl "C:\temp\output%DATE:~3,2%%DATE:~0,2%.txt".

  If that was run today it would pass in ' C:\temp\output1118.txt

  Now in your maxl you just refer to the variable with

  export data from database sample.basic Level0 to data_file $1;

  $1 refers to the variable which has been adopted, the 1 being the position, in which it was adopted.

• How to kill the Batch files

  Hello
  
  I have three files batch for the aggregation.
  
  I used maxL in the batch file, and there are nearly 10 scripts of aggregation.
  
  Sometimes I have to kill the batch files... Can anyone please suggest how to kill the ball file while running.
  
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Depends on who do OS you run the script, you run the script and why you want to kill the script
  The script can be killed, but this does not mean that the current operation of essbase, you may need to use maxl /eas to try to kill the active session/query.

  ___________________________________________________________________________________-

  in the MAXL if I write: law instead of ' $1 ' it works fine, but I can't take the user input, it is question of syntax?

  Below the command works fine:
  ALTER database abc.abc clear data in the region '{(law, Final, FY15, P2, ACC_1011640)}' physical;

  Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong here?

  Thank you

  I don't think that (alone) allows in this case - the problem is that the single quotes around the specification of the whole region removes extension variable (see Variables).

  Double quotes lose about $1, but also replace the single quotes around the specification of the entire region with quotes, i.e.:

  ALTER database abc.abc clear data in the region '{($1, Final, FY15, ACC_1011640, P2)}' physical;

• Batch file executes all commands, MaxL seems to stop their

  I have a batch file that looks like this (removed from the game in the middle which makes extraction of data, this is just to test)

  It runs the first discovery MaxL file, and then in the said command prompt "MaxL Shell" done and goes back to the command prompt. It is not picking up the second MaxL script.
  
  We are past just 11.1.2.1 and this has worked well in 11.1.1.3 when using essmsh. No idea why it is not in the script?
  
  The contents of the two files is:

• Batch file to run the MaxL script

  Hi all
  
  Can someone tell me please how to run a MaxL script by using a batch file in Windows (XP). I use Essbase 11.1.1.3.
  
  It would be great if someone could send a .bat file, I'm not sure of the syntax.
  
  See you soon,.

• Read metadata from the batch file

  Hello world

  I wonder if Lightroom 3 offers a feature that allows me to read metadata from file for multiple images in a batch process. The reason is that I changed the GPS information for a couple of my photos using the pluging Geoencoding support from Jeffrey Friedl and let him rewrite in the DNG file. Since I blush as the shadow data, I don't see any GPS information in my table of metadata to Lightrrom even if the data is present in the DNG format. Now, the real question is: is there a better way to get my GPS data in Lightroom that empty library and re-import all my photos?

  Oh, and before I forget: Yes, I searched this forum - and a few others as well - and I found some stuff on information in batch processing time. However, the method presented here apparently does not apply to my problem.

  Thanks for any information.

  Good day

  f.

  In the library Module, select the grid Mode. Select all the images you want to read metadata from. Go to metadata > read metadata from files

  Similarly, you can change to time zone / AM - PM problems, etc. by going to metadata > edit Capture time

• Cannot launch SNDREC32.exe minimized during playback of batch file?

  Hello

  Is it possible to launch SNDREC32.exe from a batch file, this sound recorder is reduced when it reads the file?  I got so the BACK box is hidden, but I like it if tape recorder was automatically reduced also when it reads the audio file.

  Is there command-line switches in sound recorder (SNDREC32.exe) allowing the application to be minimized automatically during playback of the file?

• I need help doing things with batch files

  This applies to All THE VERSIONS OF WINDOWS and probably relates more to MSDOS than any other.

  cmd.exe or notepad.exe and comand.com applications

  I'm doing some kind of Setup.

  I have a tool nice lottle I did that works with a batch file. and he has 3-4 text file sthat go with it. I wanted to make a batch file which would act as an installer. make the MainMenu.txt, ReadMe.txt, Credits.txt, DISCLAIMER.txt fill them with the correct values, then make the .bat file that acts as the user interface. and when this launch the batch file under its weight made it has created (and not as a child of cmd window) then delete itself so all that remained was the new files...

  I tried the command IF [NOT] EXIST filename command because it's the only IF the syntax I have any slight understanding of

  EXAMPLE OF

  mkdir EXAMPLE

  EXAMPLE of CD

  IF [NOT] EXIST MainMenu.txt GOTO CMAIN

  : CMAIN

  ECHO the text I want to be in the lead > MainMenu.txt

  pause

  EXAMPLE OF

  but when I run the command 'Betainstall.bat' file, it opens and then closes immediately. What would be nice if it was the CASE of WAT I TOLD it to. it doesent need to be opened, because it only creates a directory then makes em fills with files on and its done... but it doesent do anything. and since it closes too quickly it's a bit hard to read all the messages that appears. (im not fast enough for print scrn) and addition of the pause at the end did not a thing. and / k has ever helped me before

  I just need to find how to get cmd to delete the last entry of Y.

  If I could get the Y equal to NULL it should write the %M % and not okay right?

  For the first part of what I mentioned above, you can simply do:

  SET M =

  The M variable will then to null.

  However, for what is in quotes: No. get M set to null will do what you want.  Use the command I mentioned in my previous post.  Note the signs double% to get the result of %M % in the command of the user file.

  IF the echo % M %! == 1 ! Goto: whatever > USER - X 2. 0.Bat

  Then the USER - X 2. 0.Bat will contain the line:

  IF M %! == 1 ! Goto: whatever

  Now, from your original:

  SET /p M = type OK or CANCEL, and then press ENTER:
  IF %M % IS INSTALL OK GOTO
  IF %M % IS CANCEL LEAVE
  : INSTALL

  You can see that if the M variable contains not exactly the capitals OK or CANCEL capitalized (that you specified), then the second half of each IF statement will not be executed. Your sample of what is getting written to the file USER - X 2. 0.Bat, you typed tiny ok and it works again the part of the installation of your batch file because he simply fell thru to the: part of the INSTALLATION.

  What you want is a batch program that allows to anticipate all possible ways that the user could answer "correctly". When you check if the variable M is equal to OK, it checks that specifically. All other cases the letters will not be the exact match.  That's why I ran three different lines looking for okay, okay, then OK.

  The fall same thru happen here:

  SET /p M = press on, then ENTER:
  IF %M % == y GOTO RUN
  : RUN

  Because the only thing you're looking for is there it will be Goto: EXECUTION of the IF statement , if (and only if) M is exactly there, but if it is equal to anything else it will fall through to the next line which is your: block RUN. As you have, any response is typical for the "SET/p M = press on, then ENTER", it's going to fall through and get to the: RUN block. The only exception is that if the user presses the enter only key, it will then generate the error message that I mentioned and end the batch file. That's why I used the! at the end of the two %M % and on the end of what we test, such as OK! This test if the user pressed the key entry in itself without the batch file, which gives an error.

  So, instead of this:

  IF the ECHO %M % == 1 GOTO RUN > USER - X 2. 0.bat
  IF the ECHO %M % == 2 GOTO README > USER - X 2. 0.bat
  IF the ECHO %M % == 3 CREDITS GOTO > USER - X 2. 0.bat
  IF the ECHO %M % == 4 GOTO WARNING > USER - X 2. 0.bat
  IF the ECHO %M % == 5 GOTO EOF > USER - X 2. 0.bat

  Use this:

  IF THE ECHO % M %! == 1 ! GOTO RUN > USER - X 2. 0.bat
  IF THE ECHO % M %! == 2 ! GOTO README > USER - X 2. 0.bat
  IF THE ECHO % M %! == 3 ! GOTO CREDITS > USER - X 2. 0.bat
  IF THE ECHO % M %! == 4 ! Disclaimer GOTO > USER - X 2. 0.bat
  IF THE ECHO % M %! == 5 ! GOTO EOF > USER - X 2. 0.bat

  Or use which does the same thing, but look more pretty:

  IF the echo % M %! == 1 ! Goto: run > user - X 2. 0.Bat
  IF the echo % M %! == 2 ! Goto: ReadMe > user - X 2. 0.Bat
  IF the echo % M %! == 3 ! Goto: credits > user - X 2. 0.Bat
  IF the echo % M %! == 4 ! Goto: warning > user - X 2. 0.Bat
  IF the echo % M %! == 5 ! Goto: EOF > user - X 2. 0.Bat

  (Upper and lower case for the block names all answer the same, whereas they are not nit-picky as the tests within the statement itself. I put the: before the labels of block in the IF statement so I know it's a label. I left the uppercase EOF because it is an acronym for end of file. And I use IF instead of If since it's a small order and I like it to stand. This bit is just my personal preference.)

  Another thing, you can make is for your first redirection in User - X 2. 0.Bat is to use the single > crush entire previous existence of this file. Then for forwarding the following him, continue the > who is the operator 'Add file '.

  Better yet would be first to check if the file of the user - X 2. Bat is and give the user the possibility to replace, rename, or to have an abortion.

  Clear as mud now? :)

  Edit: I just looked and I see that you are already doing the single > for the first time. Pass over my hikes on this part. Laughing out loud

• How can I give permissions only to a running batch file?

• Windows 7 keeps looping in my batch files

  I recently bought a new computer and Windows 7 came over her.  I like it so far.  I just have a problem.  I can't run batch files.

  If I open the command prompt and type:

  stop s f

  everything works fine.  I gives me a notice that my computer shuts down in less than a minute.  But I put exactly the same inside a file, I named "shutdown.bat" command prompt appears and shows exactly what I typed, skip a line, then it displays again and again and again and again...

  So I am confused.  I've been reading about people having problems with batch files in Windows 7, but my problem seems completely different from theirs.

  Now all I know is:

  • command prompt will still receive the shutdown command
  • My batch file run when double click
  • contents of the batch file will not run

  If anyone can help?

  It is a classic case of the dog bites his tail. When you put the command

  stop s f

  in your batch file then this command executes the batch itself rather than shutdown.exe, as shutdown.bat is located in the current folder! There are several ways to solve this problem, but the safest is to avoid at all costs to name your batch file identical to a system file. Rename it to MyShutdown.bat and your problem will be solved.
