You can create custom-defined calculation functions for use with the Essbase calculator framework. You must develop custom-defined functions in the Java programming language and then use the Custom Defined Function Manager to create the functions in Essbase. For information about Java requirements for custom-defined functions, see “Developing Custom-Defined Calculation Functions” in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
Note: | Custom-defined functions do not apply to aggregate storage applications. |
To create custom-defined functions:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an Essbase Server.
Right-click, and select Create, and then Function.
In the text boxes of the New Function dialog box, enter the appropriate information.
Click OK.
Essbase creates the function and displays it in the Custom Defined Function Manager window. You can use the function as you use a native Essbase calculation function. See Using Custom-Defined Functions.
