Databases Reference
In-Depth Information
The MaxL
alter
statements are some of the more commonly used MaxL statements.
Do not let this give you any indication as to the usefulness of every single available
MaxL command. You may go for years and never use a command that someone else
uses every day. As an Essbase administrator it is upto you to decide what works best
in your individual situation.
Display application
This statement displays all of the information about all of the applications on
the server or you can specify a specific application.
Syntax:
display application all;
display application <app-name>;
Drop application
The
drop application
command will drop an empty application. To remove an
application that has databases in it, use the
cascade
option and if some of the objects
are locked, then you can use the
force
option.
Syntax:
drop application <App-Name> cascade;
drop application <App-Name>cascade force;
Working with an Essbase database from MaxL
In the
Database
MaxL object, you can use the same verbs like Alter, Create, Display,
and Drop as you have used in the alter application statements, but these are at the
database level.
Just like the MaxL statements that are used for altering an Essbase application,
there are many MaxL commands that are used to alter an Essbase database as well.
And, just like the application level MaxL commands, the database level commands
directly correspond to the settings available to you through the EAS tool.
