Download and Use the Command-Line Interface

If it is not already installed, download and install Java SE Development Kit 8 from Oracle Technology Network.
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable on your system to point to the JDK installation folder. If the installation path has any spaces, enclose the path in quotation marks.
$System environment variable JAVA_HOME set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171"$
In the Essbase web interface, click Console.
In the Console, go to Desktop Tools and expand Command Line Tools.
Click Download next to the utility labeled Command-line Tool.
Download cli.zip to a local drive. For best results, choose a path that has no spaces; for example, C:\Oracle.
Uncompress cli.zip, and see the extracted files under the cli folder.
To issue commands interactively,
1. Navigate to the CLI folder containing the shell script, esscs.bat or esscs.sh.
2. Set the proxy and launch the CLI:
  For Windows:
```
set HTTPS_PROXY=www-proxy.example.com:80
esscs.bat login -u MyAdmin -p mypass7YG -url https://192.0.2.1/essbase
```
  For Linux:
```
export HTTPS_PROXY=www-proxy.example.com:80
esscs.sh login -u MyAdmin -p mypass7YG -url https://192.0.2.1/essbase
```
  For more examples and details, see the login command topic.
If the CLI was installed correctly, a list of supported commands is displayed.
To execute multiple CLI commands, add them to any shell script and execute it.
In any script you run that contains CLI commands, Oracle recommends you include the following directive before the CLI login statement:
For Windows:
```
set ESSCLI_ID=%USERNAME%_%random%
```
For Linux:
```
export ESSCLI_ID=`whoami`_$PPID
```
This helps store session information and prevent execution errors when multiple scripts are run concurrently.
