Calc: Run a Calculation Script
The calc CLI command for Essbase executes a calculation script on the cube. To run this command, you need at least Database Update permission, as well as provisioned access to the calculation script.
Before you can run calculation scripts, you must first upload the scripts, as .csc files, to the cube directory. You can use the CLI to upload files. See Upload: Add Cube Files.
