The Run Calculation job in the Essbase web interface enables you to execute a stored block storage (BSO) calculation script. Calculation scripts enable you to procedurally calculate a BSO cube; for example, you can calculate one part of a cube before another, or copy data values between members.

Running calculation scripts requires at least Database Update permission, as well as provisioned access to the calculation script.

Before you can run a calculation script, you must write and save the calculation script to the cube, or upload the script, as a .csc file, to the cube directory. See Work with Files and Artifacts.

To run a calculation from the Essbase web interface:

1. On the Home page, click Jobs.
2. From the New Job menu, select Run Calculation.
3. For Application, choose an application.
4. For Database, choose a cube.
5. Select a calculation script.
6. Click Submit.
