After starting ESSCMD, you must connect to Essbase Server so that you can enter commands.

  To log on to Essbase Server:

  1. At the ESSCMD prompt, log on to the server with the LOGIN command.

    See the Oracle Essbase Technical Reference.

  2. Enter the server name.

    When you connect from the server console, the server name depends on your network setup. For example, the name could be aspen.

  3. Enter your user name.

  4. Enter your password.

The ESSCMD prompt is displayed:

aspen:::userName[1]->

userName is your login name.

You can enter any valid ESSCMD command. For a complete listing of commands, see the Oracle Essbase Technical Reference.

Note:

To load an application into memory and select a database on the Essbase server, use the SELECT command to select a database from an application that resides on the server.

The ESSCMD prompt is displayed:

aspen:appname:dbname:userName[1]->

appname is the name of the application. dbname is the name of the database to which you are connected.
