In-Depth Information
For starters an Essbase command script file object is actually an ASCII text file with
a file extension of
.scr
. As with all Essbase objects you must follow the naming
conventions we have previously discussed.
All Essbase file objects can be named using upto 8 characters,
can have no spaces in the name, and must be located in a
folder or directory path that does not contain spaces.
Creating an Essbase command script
There is only one way to create a usable EssCmd. Because an EssCmd file object
is actually an ASCII text file you can open any text editor and begin entering
commands. The text editor is also how you would modify an existing Essbase
command script.
Although there is no formal EssCmd script editor supplied with Essbase there is
comprehensive help included in the online help that is supplied with the EAS tool.
