How to create an Application ?

Create

When an application is created on the Essbase - Servers, Essbase creates a subdirectory for the application on the Essbase Server in the ARBORPATH/app directory.

The new subdirectory has the same name as the application. For example, ARBORPATH/app/app1.

In Administration Console, applications and databases are displayed in a tree structure in Enterprise View.

To create an application, you can use several tools :
