You use the Synchronize Outline dialog box to select the types of outline changes that are included in outline synchronizations.
The following nodes display information about the outlines being synchronized:
“Target outline” and “Source outline”—The associated Essbase Server names, application names, and database names. The synchronization process and the partition may define target and source differently, depending on the direction in which changes are being tracked.
“Target time” and “Source time”—The time stamps of the most recent changes to the outlines
In sync—Whether the outlines are synchronized
In the Dimension, Member, and Member Property nodes, you select the preferred types of changes.
Dimension and Member options—For example, if, in the Dimension node, you select only Add and Rename, only changes that insert and rename dimensions are included.

Delete

Update dimension type—This option applies only to dimensions. The available types are none, accounts, time, country, currency partition, and attribute.
Member property options—For example, if you select only Alias and Consolidation, only changes that affect aliases and consolidation tags are included.

To select all options, no options, or only the selected options, click, respectively, the Select All, Select None, or Apply button.
To delete from the outline change log (.chg) entries that have been applied or rejected, click the Purge button. If all entries have been changed or rejected, Essbase deletes the .chg log.
