Custom-Defined Calculation Functions
Custom-defined functions (CDFs) are a category of functions that you develop for calculation operations that are not enabled by the built-in Essbase calculator framework functions. You write custom-defined functions in Java and register them on the Essbase Server.
To get you started in creating custom-defined functions for the Essbase calculator, a set of example statistical functions is provided with this release. These examples are compiled and included in the essbase.jar file, located in the $ESSBASEPATH/java/ directory.
For the location of $ESSBASEPATH, see Environment Variables in the Essbase Platform.
For information about creating custom-defined functions, refer to the MaxL Create Function statement, and to Developing Custom-Defined Calculation Functions.
