DBS-EXPORT-DIR
The DBS-EXPORT-DIR terminal in the MaxL language is the suffix of the name of an Essbase cube directory you specify, using the export lro statement, to contain export files for your database's linked reporting objects (LROs).
Essbase creates the LRO export directory in the application directory, with a full name such as appname-dbname-suffix.
After an LRO export is completed, 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.
