You can calculate block storage databases for which you have Calculation permissions. You can run default calculations or calculation scripts.
When you execute calculations in the background, you can work as the calculation processes, or you can exit the console. However, you cannot shut down Essbase Administration Server until the calculation is completed.
To calculate block storage databases:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select a database.
Right-click, and select Execute calculation.
The Execute Database Calculation dialog box is displayed.
In Calculation scripts, perform an action:
To run the default calculation, select Default.
Select a calculation script.
Optional: To run the calculation in the background, so that you can work as the calculation processes, select Execute in the background.
Click OK to start the calculation.
If the calculation is executing in the background, an ID for the calculation process is displayed. You can use the ID to track the status of the background calculation in the Background Process Status window.
