When you start an application, the following actions can happen:
To start an application, use a tool:
The application starts and, if you are running on Windows, opens the application server window on the Essbase Server computer.
You can also start an application by completing any of these actions:
Starting a database within an application. See Starting a Database.
Saving an outline to Essbase Server. (Opening an outline does not start an application.)
You can set options that control how applications start:
startup (Allow user to start application): If an application is stopped, and a user attempts to retrieve data from any databases within that application, the application starts on the Essbase Server computer automatically.
autostartup (Start application when Essbase starts): Users may experience better initial performance when they make requests of databases in that application, because the application and databases are already loaded into memory on the Essbase Server computer.
