Upload: Add Cube Files

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.
