In-Depth Information
Let us say our Esscar cube is being used by our
Financial Analysts
in the European
Union and they want to see the sales information in their language, using Essbase's
alias table ability you achieve this functionality.
The default Essbase setting is Non-Unicode for applications, databases, and related
scripts, etc. Essbase Non-Unicode applications only support one character set which
is defined by the
locale value
chosen at the time of installation. It must be the same
across all Essbase components used in the installation.
You cannot convert a Unicode application into
a Non-Unicode application but you can convert
Non-Unicode to a Unicode application.
Now that we have learned a little bit about Essbase applications, let's start building
our first Essbase application.

fashion to Windows Explorer, with a graphical hierarchical tree structure.
