Starting and Quitting ESSCMD

ESSCMD comprises two files: esscmd.exe and esscmd.hlp (esscmd and esscmd.hlp on UNIX platforms) on Essbase Server and Essbase Administration Server.

  To start ESSCMD, enter ESSCMD at the operating system command prompt.

When ESSCMD starts, a command prompt is displayed:

:::[n]->

where n is the value of the active login instance. Each subsequent, successful login increments this value by one. When ESSCMD starts, the instance number is zero (0).

Note:

Use the SETLOGIN command to toggle between active login instances. Use the LISTLOGINS command to view active login instances.

  To quit ESSCMD, enter EXIT at the prompt and press Enter.

ESSCMD disconnects from the application server and terminates the session.
