Client Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted

If you receive the error "Client Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted" while performing some operation in the Essbase Database, it seems that some restructuring is happing for the Database. It is possible that some user has started some Calc script, which is forcing the restructure of database, then you cannot run any commands on the database until restructuring completes.

You can replicate this error with the following sequence of command.

Force the Essbase Database Restructure

MAXL> alter database Sample.Basic force restructure;

And then immediately run some command against the database like ESSCMD GETDBINFO or GETDBSTATS and you will see the followinng error.

localhost:Sample:basic:asadmin[1]->getdbinfo
GetDbInfo:
