Drop Function

The MaxL drop function statement helps you delete (de-register) a custom-defined Essbase calculation function (CDF) from the Essbase Server or from an application.

The minimum permission required to run this statement is:

Application Manager, to remove a local (application-level) function.
System Administrator, to remove a global (Essbase Server-level) function.
