The Adapter for Essbase minimally requires the installation of the Essbase Client. The Essbase Client allows you to connect to a local or remote Essbase Analytical Server.
Note: The level of User and Group Permissions for Applications/Databases required by Essbase 11.1.2 in order to be able to read the Database Outline was changed to the Access Database/Database Manager Level. All Reporting Server requests against Essbase read the Database Outline and, therefore, require this level of permissions.
On Microsoft Windows, the Essbase environment is set up during the installation of Essbase.
The following variables must be set during the installation of the Essbase Client:
Is the home directory for the Essbase Client.
For example, for the Essbase Client 11.1.2 on UNIX:
ARBORPATH= /rdbms5/arb11cli/EPMSystem11R1/products/Essbase/EssbaseClient export ARBORPATH
Is the home directory for the Essbase Client (same as ARBORPATH).
For example, for the Essbase Client 11.1.2 on UNIX:
ESSBASEPATH= /rdbms5/arb11cli/EPMSystem11R1/products/Essbase/EssbaseClient export ESSBASEPATH
Is the language setting for the Essbase Client.
For example, for the Essbase Client 11.1.2 on UNIX:
ESSLANG=English_UnitedStates.US-ASCII@Binary export ESSLANG
Is the path for the Essbase Client libraries. LD_LIBRARY_PATH must include the bin directory under the Essbase Client home directory as well as the Essbase Client home directory, in that order.
For example, for the Essbase Client 11.1.2 on UNIX:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /rdbms5/arb11cli/EPMSystem11R1/products/Essbase/EssbaseClient/bin; /rdbms5/arb11cli/EPMSystem11R1/products/Essbase/EssbaseClient export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
