Each application that is loaded is an open task or process in the operating system. You can use the operating system to view application tasks or processes:
On Windows platforms, the application is displayed in an application server window, where you can view application activities as they occur. When the Agent starts an application, a new icon is displayed in the taskbar. Double-click the icon to view the application server window.
On UNIX platforms, the application server is often a background process. When the application starts, the ESSBASE command starts the ESSSVR process. To see activities, you can route all messages to a file with the tail -f log command, where log is the name of a file that you specify.
You can also view a snapshot of the Essbase Server or application log using Administration Services. For information about viewing, filtering, searching, and analyzing logs, see Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help. For information on server and application logs, see Essbase Server and Application Logs.
