You use the Execute Database Calculation dialog box to select a calculation script to run against a database.
The Calculation script box, from which you select a calculation script, lists only the calculation scripts to which you have access.
The State text box indicates the calculation state of the database:
Calculation in progress
Data values modified since the last calculation
Data values not modified since the last calculation
No data in the database
If you select the Execute in the background process option, you can exit the console but you cannot shut down Essbase Administration Server until the calculation is completed. You can view the status of the background process in the Background Process Status window.
