To write a MaxL script, you can connect to the EAS console, and in the top menu you select

"File > New


> Script > MaxL Script"

MaxL Script to backup data:

login 'User' 'Password' on 'EssbaseServer';
export database 'Application'.'Database' all data to data_file 'd://BackupFile.txt';
logout;


MaxL Script to restore a backup:

login 'User' 'Password' on 'EssbaseServer';
import database 'Application'.'Database' data from local data_file 'd://BackupFile.txt' on error write to
'd://errorFile.txt';
logout;


1) To learn MaxL, have a look to that documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/techref.htm

2) To backup Essbase, you don't have to disconnect all the user.

3) To put an Essbase application in the backup mode, in the EAS console, you have to do a right click on
the application, you select the option "Edit Properties". Then in the general tab, uncheck the option "Allow
connects".

Finally, if you want to backup all the artifacts, you can use the Life Cycle Management tool (LCM). Have a
look to that blog:

Then, you can create a batch to backup automatically the artifacts using the "utility.bat". Have a look to
that blog:
