An Essbase model is a logical model (star schema) that is created from tables and columns in a relational database. The Essbase model is used to generate the structure of a multidimensional database.
When you build a cube schema, you specify hierarchies, measures, and measure hierarchies to include in the cube. The Essbase model shows graphically the objects and joins that comprise a cube schema.
For more information on Essbase models, see Essbase Models Overview.
You can access the Essbase Model Properties dialog from the Metadata Navigator. See Accessing the Essbase Model Properties Dialog Box.
Note: | If you encounter an out-of-memory error while working with an Essbase model, increase the virtual memory setting for Essbase Studio Console, as described in Configuring Virtual Memory. |
