Starting and Stopping Applications

When an application is started, Essbase loads it and all associated databases into memory on the Essbase Server computer. All client requests for data, such as data loads, calculations, reports, and spreadsheet lock and sends, are then handled through the application server process (ESSSVR). The application server is always started by the Agent.

Multiple application servers can run on Essbase Server concurrently. On Windows, a separate window opens for each ESSSVR process that is running. If an application contains multiple running databases, all databases are managed by the one application server.

When you stop an application, Essbase unloads all information and databases from memory on the Essbase Server computer and closes the application server process.
