Download: Get Cube Files
The download CLI command for Essbase downloads cube artifacts from an instance of Essbase to a local directory.
You may need to download text files, rule files, or calculation script files from a cube, so you can work on them or upload them to another cube. To download cube artifacts, you need at least Database Update permission.
