Setting Member Storage Properties

You can determine how and when Essbase stores data values for a dimension or member in a database. For example, you can tell Essbase to calculate the value for a member only when a user requests it and then to discard the data value. By default, Essbase stores each data value with its associated member.

Note:

Some member storage options do not apply to aggregate storage outlines.

Members can be defined in any of six ways:

  To set storage properties for a dimension or member in an outline:

  1. Open the outline in edit mode. 

    The Outline tab is displayed.

  2. Right-click a dimension or member and select Edit member properties.

  3. In the Member Properties dialog box, select the Information tab.

  4. In the Data storage drop-down list box, select a storage property.

  5. Click OK.
