UPDATECALC

Controls whether Intelligent Calculation is turned on or off by default.

This setting does not apply to aggregate storage databases.

Syntax

UPDATECALC TRUE | FALSE

Description

UPDATECALC specifies whether Intelligent Calculation is turned on or off by default.

If required during a calculation, you can override this default setting and turn Intelligent Calculation on and off using the SET UPDATECALC command in a calculation script.

Using Intelligent Calculation, Essbase calculates only updated data blocks and their dependent parents. Therefore, the calculation is very efficient.
