When you create a database, Essbase creates a subdirectory for the database within the application directory. The new subdirectory has the same name as the database; for example, ARBORPATH/app/app1/dbname1. In Administration Services Console, applications and databases are displayed in a tree structure in Enterprise View.
You can create normal databases or currency databases. See Designing and Building Currency Conversion Applications.
Before naming the database, see Naming Restrictions for Applications and Databases.
