MaxL Script and batch file

• MAXL - read dynamically batch file

  Hello
  
  I'm on a client running Essbase 11.1.2 on Windows. I'm new to the part of the script. I'm writing a maxl script and the script of commands to move data from several systems in the environment. I wish I had maxl load files dynamically load since the name of the file may change from time to time. Need advice on how to do it.
  
  Thank you
  Matt

  Hi Matt,

  Both Maxl and Batch (.bat, .cmd) files accept input variables. In Maxl, if you run the myscript.mshscript:

  essmsh myscript.msh myDataFile.txt myRulesFile.rul

  inside the Maxl script, you can capture these two file passed in on it (myDataFile.txt myRulesFile.rul) name using the $1 and $2 variables. in this case $1 would receive the value myDataFile.txt, and $2 would be myRulesFile.rul

  This is known as "passing in command line arguments.

  You can do the same thing with the use of batch %1 %2 files...

  Passing the files changing name of your batch file is a bit more complicated, you'll need to read the files from the file system to get new names and move to the MaxlScript:

  CD C:\Folder\where\my\files\are
  for /f %%d in (' dir/s/b / ad') call: runMaxl %.
  Goto: eof

  : runMaxl
  essmsh myscript.msh %1

  pause

• invoke vmscript and batch file

  Hi guys

  I try to activate a windows vm using the command to invoke vmscript powercli

  cmd /c slmgr / ato works fine when I run a back order but when I call it via a script, then the script just hangs

  I also tried to put the command above in a batchfile locally on the system and just use call vmscript to run the batch file, but which hangs just as

  no idea what I'm missing?

  $test = "cmd /c slmgr/ato.

  Invoke VMScript - Scripttype beats - ScriptText $test VM - $vm - GuestUser - GuestPassword - administrator

  Can you try to force a non-GUI run, as

  cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs

  instead of just slmgr?

• Pushing scripts or batch files in Windows VM

  I think I'm in the correct community, but if not let me know and I'll move on to the question in the correct forum.

  We use vSphere 4.0 and I would push a batch file and scripts for all our virtual machines of Windows (instead of opening each Windows vm and manually run the batch/scripts)...is it anything in vSphere that would allow me to do it, or there at - it an addon or another program that would make this possible?)

  I searched this forum, searched the help of vSphere and google than a few keywords, but I can't seem to find any information on this.

  Thank you

  Yes, VMware has an API called VIX which enables comments management, one of the features are the ability to upload or download files to and from the guestOS. VIX uses VMware Tools to perform these operations and you can run a specific command within a prompt OR download and run a script.

  For more information, VIX, please take a look here - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/

  There are some integration with PowerCLI cmdlets with VIX if you are more comfortable in Windows, there are PowerCLI forum you can ask your question - http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/automationtools/powercli

  So according to the language of comfort, you can easily hang VIX API using vSphere SDK for Java, PowerCLI, Perl, etc.

• MAXL Script will not file for data laod error write.

  Sorry, Glenn here is the new thread. I re took place without semi colon after data 3 and the same error came without anything being written to the error file.
  
  I voluntarily removed a member of the original contour which is included in the loaded data, but still the error file is not written in. I tried to make the load manually but runs it in the background, error file is created on my local hard drive, but he's not writing it. Check the output and it is written in a directory located on the server. I think it's normal.
  
  It will not write to a local drive? I'll try specifying a task on the server to see if it spins here.
  
  Thank you
  
  Original post below.
  
  Hello
  
  I am also having this problem.
  I'll include my script below but will state some details before
  We are on Essbase 11.1.1.3
  I'm running the administration Console of my PC client that connects to the server in the script and I read that in this whole file error message won't get written. This documentation has been to v 9.1.3
  
  Here is my script (I've changed the names)
  Login ' user '' password' server ';
  
  create the application "Money1' as 'Money2.
  
  coil stderr to 'errorfile ';
  
  import the database 'Money1'.' Hand ' data
  text local data_file 'Money1_Data.txt '.
  using the server rules_file 'Data3 '.
  Error adding to 'dataload.err ';
  
  run the calculation 'ALL CALC'; on 'Money1'.' Hand ';
  
  disconnection;
  spool off;
  "exit";
  
  
  Here's the error output I get:
  
  line of code: error add to 'dataload.err ';
  The statement executed with warnings.
  (3) close syntax error ["$"]
  
  I don't see a sign of dollar anywhere in my code and the file of errors did not occur.
  
  Also error files get written too if the actines are running in the background?
  
  Thank you!

  It works for me in a MaxL script run through essmsh.exe:

  import database appname.dbname data from local text data_file "d:\\datafilename.txt" using server rules_file "rulename"
       on error write to "d:\\errorfilename.err" ;
  

  Sometimes EAS (I think that you run through this) did weird things to MaxL. I avoid MaxL in EAS as much as possible (such as 100% of the time).

  NB - the datafilename and errorfilename and their drive letters are local to each time that you run this process through the MaxL shell. I don't know how it works when you run EAS - are local drives to your local session on the server of the EAS? Don't know. Leave EAS, buy TextPad (no I'm not the author of this beautiful product) and download syntax MaxL library and be happy. :)

  Kind regards

• Dynamic object and Batch files

  At the moment I am creating hundreds of icons in the same form and style. essentially, I made more than 100 icons and then realized that I wanted to add a high effecton of each of them. I already have the layer how I want and in fact a dynamic object. I was wondering if there is any combination of actions I can take to save and then apply as a batch operation for not having to manually correct each icon. The purpose of layer/chip would go to the exact same spot for each icon. Thanks for the ideas or help, you can provide.

  Using the file > Place to insert a file that contains the layer can be recorded in an Action, which should be able to be used with the file > PLC > then in batches.

• Batch file for migration and closing the virtual computer

  Hello, currently my company uses visualization of network monitoring software that allows us to react when certain thresholds are exceeded. We seek to define a threshold for when our UPS reaches a certain point (i.e. a point where the battery is discharged) and we would like to run a script or batch file that stops certain s VM, migrate some s VM for a single host and stop some ESX hosts. We want to create as much time as possible for our virtual machines essential.  I came across this tool and wonder if someone has done something similar? I'm not very familiar with batch files, and I'm fighting to run second and third commands. My current batch file looks like this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe - PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" - NoExit-command ' Connect-VIServer VIServer-user 'exampleusername'-'examplepassword' password ' I can't run additional commands after connection. As I said I'm not very good with batch files and I am new with this program.   If someone could point me in the right direction of the execution of the additional commands from a batch file after you have connected the script above, I would appreciate it a lot.
  I also would be interested in other ideas, if others have done similar things for the same purpose.
  Thank you very much!

  Instead of real orders of PS during the invocation of PowerShell, you might call a. Ps1 script that contains all of the instructions of PS.

  To call the script from a command file, you can do something like this

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" c:\your_script.ps1
  

• 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.

• How to export Unicode application data to aid ESSMSH maxl script?

  Hello
  
  I have a problem with Chinese characters in a Unicode application.
  
  I am trying to export data from a Unicode application using the maxl script syntax:
  EXPORT of DATABASE ' ' Sales. " To the SERVER HELP fichier_journal sales 'Backup' OF DATA_FILE 'D:\Backup.txt ';
  
  1. I have run this MaxL script using the MaxL editor in the Administration Console. It returns the data with members in the Chinese characters correctly.
  2. I call this MaxL script from a script of commands using ESSMSH 'D:\Backup.mxl '. It returns the data but members in Chinese character is displayed as? instead of Chinese characters.
  
  I need this MaxL script to run in a batch script and I need the text file must be loaded in a cube later. But because the Chinese character is displayed as?, it will return the error when loading data.
  How to solve this problem?
  
  Thanks and greetings

  Not that I have ever done this (English and Dutch use the same character, and that's the limit of my languages), but by the Tech Ref:

  MaxL Shell and Unicode
  MaxL Shell is in native mode to start in interactive mode.
  MaxL Shell is native mode when a script without a header byte UTF8 processing.
  MaxL Shell is in UTF8 mode when a script with the header bytes UTF8 processing.
  For more information, see the section of Oracle Essbase database administrator's Guide titled "Compatibility between different Versions of the Client and the server software."

  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/E17236_01/EPM.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_utf8shell.html

  See the SER60 here:
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/E17236_01/EPM.1112/esb_dbag/duniover.html

  And then perform a search in the section for this:

  If you use the Services Administration Console or another tool to create a MaxL script and save it as UTF-8 and then run the MaxL Shell script, MaxL Shell assumes the role of a client in Unicode mode. You can use this approach, for example, to update the contours across generations of dimension. When you create the script, don't forget to include the signing of UTF-8. See indicators of encoding.

  Check out the kaleidoscope of Glenn Schwartzberg since 2009 WORLD tour. I think this is the presentation I recommend the more - he has covered a lot of valuable land, including using the unicode utility. It is available at the section www.odtug.com technology resources. Look under Essbase/Hypeprion, then search for his name.

  You will have to join if you are not already a member. Associate membership is free and will allow you to download the presentation.

• Launch of Maxl Scripts

  Hello all-
  
  My users running Maxl script by looging remotely on the server. I want to stop the user to connect the area and ask them to run the script from their machine. The maxl script calls a security file that has the password to sign in Essbase. How can I achieve this? Is it possible I can do user run the script of their machine without having access to the security file that has the user name and password for the administrator account.
  
  Please advise!
  
  Thank you!

  It would be possible to remove the requirement for the security file if you encrypt the username your maxl script-based.
  You should always put the name of the server in your maxl script and I don't know how your environment variables are used.

  Or you can always have the security script and to remove passwords username which must be taken in charge with the encrypted file maxl.

  See you soon

  ___________________________________________________________________________________-

  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

  RN

  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;
