With ESSCMD, you can execute Essbase Server operations at the command line, in either interactive or batch mode.
Interactive mode means entering commands at the ESSCMD command line and receiving prompts where necessary. Interactive mode is convenient for short operations that require few commands, checking for information on the fly, and error checking.
Batch processing mode is used for automating routine Essbase Server maintenance and diagnostic tasks. You can write a script or batch file and run it from the command line. Batch processing mode is convenient if you frequently use a particular series of commands, or if a task requires many commands.
