Essbase is a multidimensional database for storing data with an unlimited number of dimensions, such as time, accounts, regions, channel, or product. Essbase manages analytical data models, data storage, calculations, and data security. See the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide for complete information about Essbase.
Essbase is different from Essbase Administration Server. Essbase Administration Server enables communication between individual Essbase Servers and Administration Services Console.
In Enterprise View, Essbase Servers are listed under the Essbase Servers container node. The node names for Essbase Servers are the same as their server computer names. For information about adding Essbase Servers to Enterprise View, see Adding Essbase Servers to Enterprise View.
