If you have Create/Delete Applications permissions, you can create applications (block storage or aggregate storage applications). When you create applications, Essbase creates application directories on the Essbase Server (ARBORPATH\app\appname). You must create an application before you can create a database.
To create applications:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an Essbase Server.
Right-click, and select Create, then Application, and then Using block storage or Create, then Application, and then Using aggregate storage.
In the Create Application dialog box, if the preferred Essbase Server is not selected, select the preferred Essbase Server.
In Application name, enter a name for the application.
If you want to create a Unicode-mode application and if the selected Essbase Server has permission, select Unicode-mode.
Caution!
You cannot undo the Unicode-mode selection.
Click OK.
Essbase creates the application and updates Enterprise View.
