In-Depth Information
The following is an example of logging in through the command line:
Now, that you are logged on to the Essbase server, you can execute any MaxL
statement using the command line to update the Essbase outline. The following
screenshot shows how you can achieve this. Notice how the syntax is very easy
to read. Almost like a spoken sentence.
Our Esscar outline is now updated with the new Market structure.
Hooray! You have built your first outline using an Essbase rules file and you have
also learned how to execute the script manually and also by using MaxL to run a

Attribute dimensions
Attribute dimensions are dimensions associated with standard dimensions. Attribute
dimensions are useful in describing a standard dimension member's attributes. For
example, in our Esscar database, we have the
Vehicles
dimension. If we wanted
to differentiate between a two or four door car of the same model, we could use an
attribute dimension to accomplish this. We could also use an attribute dimension to
track color.
