For aggregate storage outlines, Essbase requires that actual members are always placed before shared members. When building your Essbase model, you may have placed shared members before actual members in recursive dimensions.
By selecting a check box in the Outline Build tab of Essbase Model Properties, all instances of shared members before actual members are reversed.
If the Essbase model contains shared members placed before actual members, select this check box:
Reverse position of shared and actual members if shared member is located before actual member
Below are examples showing the recursive hierarchy members before and after Essbase fixes the shared member and actual member order. Note that the order of the parents remains the same; the position of the actual member changes.
