In-Depth Information
As you can see from the actual Essbase API Reference images, the guidance and
instructions are very helpful. You get a complete explanation of the function and
tasks it can perform. You get an example showing exactly how to code the function.
Many times we will just copy and paste the example into an actual subroutine and
modify as needed. You also get information on any special requirements the function
may have. For instance the
Init
function must be performed before any other
Essbase API function. Best of all you get a list of any related functions that are either
required to accompany the subject function or are similar and may be a better fit for
what you are trying to accomplish.
