This document is intended to explain how to automate data load.
Step.1:
Create a data load rule in Essbase
Step.2 :
Create a Maxl file to execute the load rule
Step .3 :
Create a batch file to execute the MaxL file. We can schedule the Batch file using windows scheduler.
Example of MaxL code.
1.This MaxL code clears the existing data
2.Loads data
3.Aggregates the data.
Remember : You need clear the data before you load. We clear the data because of our requirements. You can just use step 2 and 3 load data and aggregate data.
/*Script Start */
/*Login */
LOGIN 'UserName' 'Password' ON 'Server Name';
/*Clears data */

/* Imports Data */
import database 'ApplicationName'.'DatabaseName' data connect as 'UserName' identified by 'Password' using server rules_file 'LoadRuleName' on error
write to 'e:\\Logs\Errorfilename.err';
/*Aggregates Data*/

SET AGGMISSG ON;
