23 Report on Data
Report writer is a text-based script language that you can use to report on data in cubes. You can combine selection, layout, and formatting commands to build a variety of reports.
With report writer, you can generate reports whose length or specialized format exceed the capabilities of some grid clients.
Report scripts generate formatted data reports from a cube. Using report script editor, you can create report scripts that specify exactly how you want to report on data. A report script consists of a series of Essbase report commands that define the layout, member selection, and format of a report.
To execute a report script, you must have read or higher access level to all data members specified in the report. Essbase filters any member from the output for which you have insufficient permissions.
