Refresh Custom Definitions

The MaxL refresh custom definitions statement helps you update the record of any custom-defined Essbase calculation functions and macros that are associated with an application, without restarting the application.

APP-NAME

Keywords

refresh custom definitions on application...

Refresh the definitions of custom-defined functions or macros associated with the specified application, without restarting the application. To refresh global definitions, issue the statement separately for each application on the Essbase Server.

Notes

• This statement re-reads the custom-defined function and macro records on the Agent, and associates newly created functions or macros with the specified application (since the last refresh, or since the last time the application was restarted).

• A local function or macro must have been created using the double naming convention to indicate application context: see create function or create macro for details.

• Invalidly defined functions and macros are not loaded to the application.

• Validation occurs at the application level only, during the refresh (not during creation). There is no validation on the system level.

Example

refresh custom definitions on application Sample;

Loads all valid, newly created local functions and macros for the application Sample.
