Using Script and Batch Files for Batch Processing

If you use a series of commands frequently or you must enter many commands to complete a task, consider automating the task with a script or batch file. These files are useful for batch data loads and complex calculations.

See Understanding Syntax Guidelines.

Note:

On UNIX, a batch or script file is written as a shell script. A shell script usually has the file extension .sh (Bourne or Korn shell) or .csh (C shell).

When you run a script or batch file, ESSCMD executes the commands in sequence until it reaches the end of the file.

Some commands may be changed in new releases of Essbase. Changes might affect existing scripts. To ensure that your scripts work correctly in the current release, see the Oracle Essbase New Features and the Essbase Readme for information about changed or deleted commands and change your scripts if needed.
