Upload: Add Cube Files
The upload CLI command uploads cube artifacts from a local directory to an instance of Essbase.
To perform tasks such as data loads, dimension builds, calculations, or other operations, you may need to upload data files, rule files, calculation script files, or other artifacts to the cube directory. You can also upload the artifacts to your user directory.
To upload files to a cube, you need at least Database Manager permission. No special permissions are required to upload to your user directory.
Note:
You can enable antivirus scanning in the Essbase web interface so that files are scanned for viruses before they are uploaded to the server.Syntax
