Aggregations can be saved as scripts and/or materialized immediately.
On this page, you select one or more of the following options:
Save aggregation as—In the text box, you enter a name. If you enter the name of an existing script, the existing script is replaced. Scripts are saved as text files with a .csc extension and are stored in the database directory on the Essbase Server machine. To materialize a saved script, you select the Use saved aggregation option (available on this first page of the wizard).
Materialize aggregation—Essbase Server materializes the aggregation, thereby creating aggregate cells and storing values in them. During materialization, member formulas on dimensions tagged as accounts are not calculated. If applicable, you can replace existing aggregation values with new values.
Replace existing aggregation—The option is available only if the database contains values from previous aggregations and the “Materialize aggregation” and “Replace existing aggregate view selection” options are selected.
For information about working with aggregation scripts, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide. For information about guidelines for replacing aggregations, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
