Introduction

MaxL is a flexible way to automate Essbase administration and maintenance tasks. MaxL is the multi-dimensional database access language for Essbase. MaxL is a practical, expressive interface for administering and querying the Essbase system. With the MaxL language, you use statements to make requests

MaxL DDL is the database definition language for Essbase

Managing Applications

Creating applications

Configuring application parameters


Managing DatabasesCreating databases

• Configuring database parameters


Managing SecurityCreating groups

Creating users


Creating and Managing Filters

Creating filters

Create filter sample.Basic.EastMgr

write on ‘actual, @children(east)’,

read on ‘budget, @children(east)’;


Granting Permissions

Granting specific privileges to users

Grant filter sample.Basic.EastMgr to Fiona;


Monitoring Essbase Server

Display active server sessions

Display session on database sample.Basic;

alter system kill request by user 'Swetha' on application sample;

alter system logout session by user 'Swetha' on application sample;


Import export data and LRO

Monitoring Essbase Server

Import database sample.Basic from datafile ‘/data/calcdat.Txt’

using rules file ‘/data/rulesfile.rul’

on error write to ‘/logs/dimbuild.Log’


Export Data/Import Data

export database sample.basic data to data_file ‘C:\\fileout.csv’.

export database sample.basic data In column to data_file ‘C:\\fileout.csv’.

import database sample.basic data from data_file “C:\\fileout.csv” on error abort;

export database sample.basic using report_file "'$ARBORPATH/App/Sample/Basic/asym.rep'" to data_file 'c:\\month2.rpt';


Create Calculation

create or replace calculation

sample.basic.Accts

'SET UPDATECALC ON; CALC DIM(Accounts);' ;

execute calculation Sample.Basic.calcname;


Create Trigger

Types of Triggers:

on-update

after-update

create or replace on update trigger Sample.Basic.EastColaswhere (Jan, Sales, Actual, [100], East)when Jan > 20 then spool EastColas_Fail end;

create or replace after update trigger Sample.Basic.EastColaswhere (Jan, Sales, Actual, [100], East)when Jan > 20 then spool EastColas_Fail end;


To be Discussed Creating and Managing Partitions


To be Discussed Creating and Managing Partitions

Create or replace replicated partition sampeast.East area '@IDESC(east)' to samppart.Company at localhost as partitionuser identified by 'password' area '@idesc(east)';

Refresh replicated partition samppart.Company from sampeast.East at localhost updated data;


Automate Loading Process


For Scheduling the loading process. Following steps need to be followed.

1. Open notepad and write the following code as shown below, and save it as .scr extension file. (Ex: Sample5.scr)


2. Open notepad and write a batch file as shown below and save it as .bat extension file. (Ex: Sample5.bat)


3. Go to control panel and click on scheduled tasks and Add scheduled task as shown below Click on next following window appears


4. When u click next the following window appears then click browse


5. select the .bat (Ex: Sample5.bat) as shown below and select when the task need to be performed


6. Select the time an the no of days in the following window


7. Enter the Username and password and click next the following window appears


8. After entering the system user name and password click next following window appears then click finish.

Windows will perform the task for the scheduled day and time.Windows will perform the task for the scheduled day and time.
