DBS-EXPORT-DIR
The DBS-EXPORT-DIR terminal in the MaxL language represents a suffix for the name of an Essbase cube directory to contain export files for linked reporting objects (LROs).
This string is the suffix for the name of a cube directory you specify to contain LRO export files. The directory is created (upon export lro) in the application directory with a full name such as appname-dbname-suffix.
After LRO export, the directory contains file-type LRO binary files (if applicable to the database), and the LRO-catalog export file with file-extension .exp.
Example: For a Sample.Basic export of LROs, if DBS-EXPORT-DIR is given as lros, then the sample-basic-lros directory is created in the application directory. The sample-basic-lros directory contains file-type LRO binary files and the LRO-catalog export file 'sample-basic-lros.exp'.
Notes:
-
MaxL creates exactly one export directory; it does not create a directory structure.
-
If the specified export directory already exists, the export LRO statement fails, as a safeguard against overwriting.
