Script to create dimension members for rule templates
To use a rule that you create with some of the predefined templates, you must create dimension members that will store the results of the calculations that the rule performs. To create the required dimension members, you can run the mnt_timedataview.sql script.
The predefined templates in the following list require the dimension members that are created by the mnt_timedataview.sql script.
Script: mnt_timedataview.sql
This script creates members in the TimeDataView and Scenario dimensions. The script is called by SQLCMD. It creates members that are specifically customized for certain predefined business rule templates.
The following command line shows the syntax for using this script
sqlcmd -i mnt_timedataview.sql -v RootDatabaseName = MyApplicationDatabase
Arguments
- MyApplicationDatabase
Name of the application database that the script will run against.
Return values
The following table shows possible return values for this script.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
|
Indicates that the name of MyApplicationDatabase was not provided on the command line. |
|
Indicates that Planning Server could not locate an entry in sysdatabases for the specified database. This error typically occurs when MyApplicationDatabase is not available on the server. |
|
Indicates a successful insertion of members into the TimeDataView and Scenario dimensions. |
Remarks
The following code contains the mnt_timedataview.sql script. You can copy this code to an instance of SQL Server on your computer and run the script.
