The FlashBack command restores the previous database view. A database view is the view of the spreadsheet after performing Zoom In, Zoom Out, Keep Only, Remove Only, or Retrieve operations. FlashBack is similar to the Excel Undo command, which reverses the last action, with these differences:
If you modify member information between retrievals and perform a FlashBack, Essbase flashes back to the spreadsheet data as it was before the last retrieval, despite changes that you made to members between retrievals. The FlashBack command uses your computer memory to store the current view before processing a retrieval request.
You can use FlashBack to undo only the most recent operation. FlashBack cannot undo multiple operations.
To restore the previous database view, select Essbase, and then FlashBack.
Essbase undoes the last command and returns the previous database view.
You can disable FlashBack during normal operations to conserve memory on your local computer.
