About Calculation Scripts

Calculation scripts specify how databases are calculated and, thus, override outline-defined database consolidations. For example, you can calculate database subsets or copy data values between members. Within an application, you can associate one calculation script with one database or with multiple databases. In Enterprise View, a container node for calculation scripts is displayed under each application and database that contains at least one script.

Using Calculation Script Editor, you construct calculation scripts from calculation commands, equations, and member formulas. Within Calculation Script Editor, you can type calculation scripts item-by-item or use user interface features to select items. Because calculation scripts are text files, you can create calculation scripts in any text editor and paste them into Calculation Script Editor.

By default, calculation scripts use the .csc extension. From Administration Services Console, you can view and execute only calculation scripts that have the .csc extension.

For information about developing calculation scripts and formulas, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
