ESSBASE WEB SERVICES

invoked over a network.
Web services use XML to code and decode data, and SOAP (SimpleObject Access Protocol) to transport it.
Web services are defined using WSDL (Web Service Description Language).Essbase Web Services
support access to and administration of Essbase applications and cubes.
