What are storage properties?
Data storage properties define where and when consolidations are stored. For example, by default, members are tagged as store data. Essbase sums the values of store data members and stores the result at the parent level.
What is shared member in Essbase?
Using shared members lets you use members repeatedly throughout a dimension. Essbase stores the data value only once, but it displays in multiple locations. Storing the data value only once saves space and improves processing efficiency. Shared members must be in the same dimension.
What is Dynamic calc?
Understanding Dynamic Calculation This definition tells Essbase to calculate a data value for the member as users request it. Dynamic calculation shortens batch database calculation time, but may increase retrieval time for the dynamically calculated data values. See Reducing the Impact on Retrieval Time.
What are the storage types?
Types of Data Storage
- Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
- Network Attached Storage (NAS)
- SSD Flash Drive Arrays.
- Hybrid Flash Arrays.
- Hybrid Cloud Storage.
- Backup Software.
- Backup Appliances.
- Cloud Storage.
What are the types of storage facilities?
There are four main types of storage facility:
- Warehouse storage.
- Container storage.
- Lock-up garages.
- Removals depositories (non self storage)
What is the difference between Essbase and SmartView?
One of the bigger changes is that Smart View is now compatible with multiple Oracle and Microsoft products, whereas the Essbase Add-In only connected to Essbase and Excel. A multi-grid allows for multiple connections on one Excel sheet.
What is a dimension in Essbase?
Dimensional Data Modeling – Dimension (Perspective) in Essbase. A dimension represents the highest consolidation level in the database outline. The database outline presents dimensions and members in a tree structure to indicate a hierarchy relationship. Year, Accounts, Scenario, Product are a dimension.
What is alternate hierarchy in Essbase?
The alternate hierarchy has shared members that refer to nonshared members of previous hierarchies in the outline. The shared members roll up according to a different hierarchy from the nonshared members to which they refer.
How do I create a shared member in Hyperion Planning?
To create shared members:
- Right-click a member and select Insert Shared Member.
- Select As Child or As Sibling. The Insert Shared Member dialog box is displayed.
- Select the member(s) to insert. See Selecting Members.
What are the two types of storage?
There are two types of storage devices used with computers: a primary storage device, such as RAM, and a secondary storage device, such as a hard drive. Secondary storage can be removable, internal, or external.
How do Essbase data storage properties affect members?
Table 1-5 describes the effect that Essbase data storage properties have on members. Data for the member is stored in the database. Store data is the default storage property. The data associated with the member is calculated when requested by a user query. The calculated data is not stored; it is discarded after the query request is completed.
What are the different dimension types in Essbase?
For example, if you define a dimension as accounts, you can specify accounting measures for members in that dimension. Essbase calculates the two primary dimension types, time and accounts, before other dimensions in the database. By default, all dimensions are tagged as none. The following sections describe the dimension types.
How does the time balance property affect the parent in Essbase?
If an accounts dimension member uses the time balance property, it affects how Essbase calculates the parent of that member in the time dimension. By default, a parent in the time dimension is calculated based on the consolidation and formulas of its children.
What is the default storage property of a member?
Store data is the default storage property. The data associated with the member is calculated when requested by a user query. The calculated data is not stored; it is discarded after the query request is completed. The data associated with the member comes from another member with the same name.
