ElastiCube Plugins
Plugins let you add additional functionality to your ElastiCube builds, by adding .NET or Python code at the beginning and/or end of an ElastiCube build. Here are some examples:
- Copy csv files from a remote location to your local machine before running an ElastiCube build.
- Manipulate and rename csv or Excel files before importing them into the ElastiCube.
- Send emails after a build finishes.
SQL RUNNER
With the SQL Runner, you can extract data from ElastiCubes. You can use either the built-in SQL Runner, or your own tools to extract data and see the returned results.
Sisense Shell (PSM.EXE)
With the Sisense Shell, you can execute ElastiCube-related commands using the Windows command line. Examples include:

Is there a way to create a new EC from an existing EC on nightly basis in V5.8?
Gideon Behrensmeyer
If you are referring to a new build of the same ElastiCube, you can schedule automatic builds, or you can use the REST API call /elasticubes/{server}/{elasticube}/startBuild.
