To get you started in creating custom-defined functions
for the Hyperion 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 ARBORPATH\java\
directory.
For more information about creating custom-defined functions, see the Database Administrator's Guide.
The Java code for examples of custom-defined functions
is provided in the file statisti.jav. This file can be viewed in any
text editor. For more information about the classes, methods, and constants in
the statisti.jav file, see the documentation for the Hyperion Essbase
Statistics Java package.
The code contained in
the statisti.jav file is implemented in the
ARBORPATH\java\essbase.jar
file. The examples in
the statisti.jav file use constants which are defined in the essbase.jar file. To use the
constants defined in these examples, you must import the Calculator class constants
defined in the essbase.jar
file.
Sample scripts for registering and dropping the example custom-defined functions are provided in the following files:
register.mxl - to register the
functions locally in an application
drop.mxl - to drop the
functions (if they were registered locally)
reglobal.mxl - to register the functions globally
These files can be viewed in any text editor. For more information about running MaxL scripts, see the MaxL Language Reference. For more information about registering custom-defined functions, see the Database Administrator's Guide.
