New OAS operations widget allows users to use MAXL Essbase System, User, Session, Application to drive automations

The latest build of Olap Automation Studio (OAS) includes a new operation call RunMaxlDisplayLoop.

This operation takes as parameters an essbaseconnection, info (application, database,disk volume, filter, session, system, user, variable...). This is the OAS version of the MAXL display command. Using this operation you can drive your automations based on any data returned from the MAXL display command. For example you can log users off. Grant security. Set values for substitution variables or even kill sessions. Later I will show how to save user information to a database table or excel file.
