ESSCMD Overview

Overview Getting Started Syntax Guidelines Batch Processing Interactive Mode Command Groups Command List -- New for Release 6

ESSCMD is a command-line interface that performs operations interactively or through a batch or script file. You can execute server operations at the command line, in either batch or interactive mode.

ESSCMD operates independently of any other Hyperion Essbase client interface, including the Application Manager, Spreadsheet Add-in, or custom-built application programs.

Interactive mode lets you interactively enter commands at the ESSCMD command line and receive responses. Interactive mode is convenient for short operations that require few commands, checking for information on the fly, and error checking.

Batch processing mode lets you automate your routine server maintenance and diagnostic tasks. You can write a script or batch file and run it from the command line. Batch processing mode is convenient if you frequently use a particular series of commands, or if your task requires many commands.
