	Essbase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Essbase is a multidimensional database management system (MDBMS) that provides a multidimensional database platform upon which to build analytic applications, ie.
		Hyperion Essbase was named as one of the 10 most influential technology innovations of the last 10 years by Information Age magazine in its August 2005 issue.
		Although Essbase has been categorised as a general-purpose multidimensional database, it was originally developed to address the scalability issues associated with spreadsheets such as Lotus 1-2-3 and Microsoft Excel.

	Hyperion Training Specialists - Essbase Training Leaders
		The objective of this five-day Applied Essbase course is to empower students with the skills necessary to develop and to successfully deploy their Essbase applications.
		The Applied Essbase course starts with the fundamentals of Essbase by walking students through the process of developing an application—starting with metadata design and outline mechanics, the Excel Add-In, automating loads and dimension builds with load rules, Essbase architecture, and calculation fundamentals.
		Once the application is built, advanced Essbase topics address fine tuning that application, including the use of database partitioning through replicated and transparent partitions and advanced applied calculations.

	DBMS - July 1996 - Essbase 4.0
		Essbase can be started automatically as a standard NT service and can optionally register itself in the NT Registry as part of the installation process.
		Essbase members based on numeric codes or IDs may have associated name aliases and may also be linked to formulas for deriving their value mathematically.
		In fact, it is possible to force Essbase to recalculate some or all of a database -- interactively or in batch mode -- through the use of calculation scripts defined using the functions and commands in the fully documented Essbase API.

	Essbase Data Blocks and Performance Optimization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Based on our development experience with Essbase version 6, it seems that it is possible to deploy blocks up to 600,000 bytes in size and still have great calculation performance (provided that the database’s data cache setting is large enough, but more on that later).
		Essbase calculates a data block size even though no data are loaded into the database and no data blocks yet exist.
		With an optimized format, Essbase will find a specific data block, as determined by the combination of sparse dimension member references on the left side of the data file, then load the block (that is, fill the dense dimension members) completely.

	WebFOCUS Newsletter February 2003 - Working With FML and Essbase
		Essbase, by nature, lends itself to Financial Reporting.
		This parameter limits the number of records returned from Essbase and is useful when testing against large cubes.
		Essbase provides an arena where FML can add value to the reporting process.

	DBMS - June 1998 - Arbor Essbase OLAP Server 5
		Essbase 5 addresses this issue by allowing the value of a calculated measure or aggregated parent to be "dynamically calculated" when it is requested in a query.
		In Essbase 5, the Variance and Percent Variance values can be dynamically calculated on request, cutting the size of the hypercube in half and reducing hypercube calculation times proportionally while adding imperceptibly to query response times.
		Essbase 5 allows an unlimited number of attributes to be attached to a member category for filtered reporting, although you still canýt pivot an attribute (put "month" down the side and "day-of-week" ý as an attribute of the date ý across the top of a view).

	Savoir Faire Software Links
		This file is essentially a snapshot of an Essbase configuration at a given point in time.
		Essbase server configuration parameters can be set in the target(s) according to those in the source.
		The system administrator can send messages to all the connected clients; "Essbase server redwood will be down at 7:00 P.M. for maintenance." In such a case, while Essbase is "down", users are notified via a status bar, so they do not have to travel to the system console to confirm their suspicion.

	Hyperion Essbase XTD Hits the Mark
		We needed an information tool that provides worldwide shared data access for all designated company employees and provides "one picture of the truth." The solution needed to be flexible enough to be used by the executive and analyst audiences, have a fast response time and use existing data files to minimize development time.
		Essbase has allowed us to eliminate many homegrown "stovepipe" databases kept by individual users on their desktop PCs.
		I actually read their Essbase Administrator Guide, found it to be extremely well done and could run the product with it.

	ARBOR OPENS ESSBASE 5 UP TO RELATIONAL DATABASES - Computer Business Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Essbase 5 claims to have increased performance 100-fold by performing dynamic calculations of the fly, rather than performing the large set of pre-calculations that version 4.0 requires.
		Essbase 5 links those common areas, for example customers and products, and enables the user to move seamlessly between applications, so the marketing department could drill down in to sales data and vice versa.
		Essbase 5 will also include integration for relational databases, opening out Essbase away from Arbor's proprietary multi- dimensional database to initially DB2, under the company's agreement with IBM Corp (CI No 3,183), and then to Informix, Oracle and Sybase.

	Midrange Stuff, OS/400 Edition
		With Essbase 6.2, ShowCase is debuting multithreading for loading multidimensional databases, which will allow companies with multiprocessor AS/400 or iSeries servers to more easily take advantage of that horsepower for loading the data.
		There is also a new failsafe mechanism in Essbase 6.2 to prevent "queries from hell," or gigantic queries that may have been accidentally set off by users and that can consume enormous amounts of systems resources.
		However, ShowCase executives felt compelled to publicize the improvements made to Essbase as a way of reaffirming their belief that the core component of any business intelligence solution should be OLAP and multidimensional databases.

	Essbase 7X brings interactive BI to BPM \| InfoWorld \| Review \| 2004-11-26 \| By Jeff Angus
		Hyperion Solutions' Essbase 7X adds a lot of interactive exploration to the BI reporting muscle it already had and complements the reporting abilities of the Performance Suite Hyperion, acquired when the company bought Brio Software last year.
		The solution's new features should be a boon for companies already running Essbase, although they are not justification for companies using competitors' BPM solutions to switch to Hyperion.
		Previous Essbase versions sported only two end-user interfaces: an Excel-based client that best serves "spreadsheet jockeys" (those users who have a passion for the perverse panorama of pivot tables) and a UI that churns out static reports designed by others and intended for those with almost no tech capabilities.
