Stopping an Application

Stop applications properly to prevent the databases within them from becoming corrupt. When you stop an application, transactions may be running. If you stop an application using any of the proper methods (see the following table), the application does not stop if a calculation or data load is in progress. Instead, Essbase displays a message in the Agent console.

If you stop the Agent by closing the server console window or by pressing Ctrl+C, the application stops, and the next time you start the application, Essbase rolls back any transactions that were in progress. See Rollback with Committed Access or Rollback with Uncommitted Access.

  To properly stop applications, use a tool:
