Sets the default implied shared behavior for the Essbase Server, or for the specified application.
IMPLIED_SHARE [app_name] TRUE | FALSEapp_name—Optional. If provided, the setting applies only to the specified application; otherwise, the setting applies to the Essbase Server.
TRUE—Default value. Parent is treated as an implied share because it has only one child or because it has only one child that consolidates to the parent.
FALSE—Never use Implied Share unless explicitly set in the outline.
If the IMPLIED_SHARE configuration setting is absent from Essbase.cfg, the default setting of TRUE is used.
Application-specific settings overrides any general Essbase Server settings.
Outlines settings (specified using the Outline Editor or through the API) override all Essbase.cfg file settings.
You must stop and restart the Essbase Server for it to read any changes to IMPLIED_SHARE settings made in the configuration file.
The outline must be opened, saved, and then restructured for any changes in the IMPLIED_SHARE configuration setting now read by the Essbase Server to take effect.
For IMPLIED_SHARE configuration settings to have any effect, the outline-specific setting must be one of these default values:
ESS_IMPLIEDSHARE_DEFAULT—Outline setting depends on Essbase.cfg. If returned, no IMPLIED_SHARE entry existed in Essbase.cfg at the time the outline was saved.
ESS_IMPLIEDSHARE_DEFAULT_ON—Outline setting depends on Essbase.cfg. If returned, IMPLIED_SHARE was set to TRUE in Essbase.cfg at the time the outline was saved.
ESS_IMPLIEDSHARE_DEFAULT_OFF—Outline setting depends on Essbase.cfg. If returned, IMPLIED_SHARE was set to FALSE in Essbase.cfg at the time the outline was saved.
IMPLIED_SHARE Sample FALSE
Never use Implied Share for application Sample unless it is explicitly set.
