API Files You Need to Ship

For your program to work with Essbase, each client machine that runs your program must have access to the required API run-time files. If the Spreadsheet Add-in or runtime client are already installed on a client machine, the relevant files are already available in the $ARBORPATH\BIN directory. Otherwise, you must install them as part of your product's own installation process.

General Description of Files

The files you need to redistribute are located in the API\REDIST directory. These files include:

For the rest of the files, see your API\REDIST directory.

The Essbase API libraries can exist anywhere on the client machine or on an accessible network file server. In general, you should include all the program executables and API libraries in a single directory.

To ensure that the operating system can find the libraries at run time, they should either be in the same directory as your executable files, or in another directory included in the user's PATH command. See Essbase Directory Structure for more information.

Platform-by-Platform File Lists

Users of applications programs deployed on Windows can install the Runtime Client in order to avoid downloading specific .DLL files. Refer to the Hyperion Essbase - System 9 Installation Guide for information on installing the Runtime Client.

See API Libraries for a platform-by-platform list of the files you need to redistribute.
