Faliure in execution of Calculation Scripts

Hello friends,

I faced this issue today which I would like to share with you all, it shows how simple manual mistakes can sometimes cause crucial errors.

Goal: I was trying to launch one of the Calc All scripts for my production application which failed with an error saying "Failed to execute the Calculation script"


Issue: When I went through the logs ; I find the following issue:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: http://<servername>:19000/eas/eas

The issue is when the script is run from 19000 port it fails with the above error in the logs but at the back end if you rectify the process is still running and the .pag files will be building as expected. So you do not see any difference at the process end except for this error.

However, it is ideal to run the process through the correct port that is the 10080 port, which will not throw any error.

Its a small error but can be misleading sometimes .. hope this post will be helpful !!


Thanks!!

Essbase for Beginners: Data Block concepts Part A

An Essbase outline has a number of dimensions.  The number of dimensions can range in quantity and size, but each dimension is identified as a dense or sparse dimension.  As we understood the concept of Dense and Sparse in our last discussion, let’s begin with the cocept of data blocks now. To understand this, let’s carry forward our hierarchy of 5 dimensions in a test application in my previous post.. We have 3 dense and 2 sparse dimensions each with 3 stored members. So let’s begin: Number of Existing Blocks = (potential number of blocks) * estimated density= 9 Block Size = Dense Stored * Dense Stored * Dense Stored * 8 bytes = 3*3*3 *8 = 216 Potential number of blocks = Sparse Stored * Sparse Stored = 9 If all dimensions are assigned as Dense, Number of Existing Blocks = (potential number of blocks) * estimated density= 1 Block Size = Dense Stored * Dense Stored * Dense Stored * 8 bytes = 3*3*3*3*3 *8 = 1944 Potential number of bloc...

Shared Connection and Private Connection

You connect to data sources through shared or private connections. Shared Connections •Shared connections are stored in a central location and are available to multiple users through the Smart View Panel. You cannot add, edit, or rename shared connections, but you can save them as private connections, which you can edit and rename. Private Connections •Private connections are those that you create by saving a shared connection to your local computer or by entering a URL to a provider that is not configured for shared connections. When you create a private connection, it becomes the active connection. Shared Connections : 1. From the Smart View ribbon, click  Panel . 2. From Smart View Home or from the menu displayed when you click the arrow next to Home button, do one of the following: • Click a connection name under  Recently U sed . You can click    to pin items to this list. • Select  Shared Connections  to open th...

Essbase for Beginners: Data Block concepts Part B

Below concepts involve Data Blocks in some way or the other, so to understand how Data Blocks behave it’s good to understand these concepts: Let's Begin!! Compression Clean and Dirty Blocks Fragmentation Restructure Compression: When Essbase stores blocks to disk, it can compress the data blocks using one of the following compression methods, this is based on the type of data that is being loaded into the Essbase database. Essbase provides several options for data compression: 1. Bitmap compression : This is the default compression method. Essbase stores only non-missing values and uses a bitmapping scheme. A bitmap uses one bit for each cell in the data block, whether the cell value is missing or non-missing. When a data block is not compressed, Essbase uses 8 bytes to store every non-missing cell. 2. Run-length encoding (RLE): Essbase compresses repetitive, consecutive values --any value that repeats three or more times consecutively, including...
