I have a somewhat complicated process that I automated to make my life easier for those late nights of work. I am notorious for missing fairly simple things at any time after 7PM. I decided (in the AM) that I would remedy the solution.
A script I was running last night was dying and I didn’t know where. It validated fine, but would cancel and the logs told me nothing. It would just…die.
To get around this, I added some error handling to the script. For whatever error returns, a popup message will show regarding what the error exactly was.
Background notes on this code:
1. Located on the Essbase server, but the Batch Script Utility is additionally installed on this server to be able to run EPMA and MaxL scripts together (a later blogpost).
2. Although not needed to run the script via a batch file normally, I have inserted a “CALL” in front of the normal script needed to run a text file in the utility. It is needed to get the message box to show with the error.
3. I am using the person logged into the server’s username to send a message to via a server variable that should already be established on that machine (in other words, it should work as is on your server without any changes needed).
Batch script code:
CALL epma-batch-client.bat -C”D:\EssbaseScripts\EPMAScripts\EPMA_EntyAcct.epma” -R”D:\EssbaseScripts\Logs\EPMA_EntyAcct.log” -LOn
