Administrative Interface
A number of standard interfaces can administer of Essbase applications:
- ESSCMD, the original command line interface for administration commands;
- MaxL, a "multi-dimensional database access language" which provides both a superset of ESSCMD commands, but with a syntax more akin to SQL, as well as support for MDX queries;
- Essbase Application Manager, the original Microsoft Windows GUI administration client, compatible with versions of Essbase before 7.0;
- Essbase Administration Services, later renamed Analytic Administration Services, and then back to 'Essbase Administration Services' in v. 9.3.1, the currently supported GUI administration client; and
- Essbase Integration Server for maintaining the structure and content of Essbase databases based on data models derived from relational or file-based data sources.
