This book provides tutorial steps that are based on sample databases and files that are provided with the Essbase server software. You use the Sample Basic database for most tasks in A Basic Essbase Tutorial and An Advanced Essbase Tutorial. You use a sample Essbase Currency Conversion application for the section on currency conversion. See An Advanced Essbase Tutorial For information on the Sample Basic database, see A Basic Essbase Tutorial.
In addition to these sample applications and databases, you also use several sample Excel files in the advanced tutorial in An Advanced Essbase Tutorial. The individual at your organization who installs the server is responsible for making these applications, databases, and files available to you. Contact the Essbase system administrator for more information.
