10 Run and Manage Jobs Using the Web Interface

The Jobs page in the Essbase web interface is a centralized interface from which to run routine operations and processes in the Essbase platform.

Essbase administrators or users with execute permissions on certain applications can use the Jobs page to quickly execute jobs such as clearing and loading data, importing and exporting applications, running calculations and much more.

The Jobs page is convenient for one-time execution of administrative tasks, but it is not a replacement for scripted administration of Essbase platform jobs. MaxL, CLI, REST, and API programs are the most efficient way to schedule jobs for production activities and life cycle maintenance.
