You can open, edit, and execute existing MaxL scripts and MDX scripts in the appropriate script editor. You need not modify existing scripts in order to execute them from the script editor.
MaxL Script Editor recognizes files with the .mxl or .msh extension. MDX Script Editor recognizes files with the .mdx extension.
Because MaxL and MDX scripts are not Essbase Server objects, you cannot open scripts from Enterprise View. You can open scripts that are saved on a client computer or on a network, or that are saved on Essbase Administration Server as a shared file. See Saving MaxL and MDX Scripts.
To open a MaxL script or an MDX script that is saved on Essbase Administration Server:
Select File, then Open.
In Open, navigate to the location of the script.
You can open files from the file system, from the Essbase Server machine, or from Essbase Administration Server.
Select the script and click OK.
The script opens in the appropriate script editor.
