FULL-EXPORT-DIR

The FULL-EXPORT-DIR terminal in the MaxL language represents a full path to an Essbase cube directory to contain export files for linked reporting objects (LROs).

Full path for the name of a directory for LRO export files,to be created (upon export lro) anywhere on the client or server.

After export lro, the directory contains file-type LRO binary files (if applicable to the database), and the LRO-catalog export file named in the format directoryname.exp.

For example, if for a Sample.Basic export, FULL-EXPORT-DIR is given as /scratch/exports/lros, then the lros directory structure is created under /scratch/exports/ if /scratch/exports/ exists. The lros subdirectory contains file-type LRO binary files and the LRO-catalog export file lros.exp.

Notes:

• MaxL creates exactly one export directory; it does not create a directory structure. In the above example, if the /scratch/exports directory structure exists, MaxL creates the lros directory as a subdirectory of /scratch/exports, but if /scratch/exports does not exist, MaxL will fail to create /scratch/exports/lros.

• If the specified export directory already exists, the export LRO statement will fail. This is a safeguard against overwriting existing export directories.

• On Windows, use double backslashes ( \\ ) to represent backslashes in file paths. This is so that the MaxL Shell can interpret the second backslash literally, and not as an escape sequence.
