- Start OLAP Server.
- At the operating system command prompt, enter essmsh to start the MaxL Shell, or esscmd to start the ESSCMD prompt.
- Log on to OLAP Server with the MaxL login statement, or the ESSCMD LOGIN command.
- Enter any valid MaxL statement or ESSCMD command and press Enter. For a complete listing of ESSCMD commands, type HELP.
- To exit either shell, type EXIT;.
