Maintaining Essbase Cubes

This topic provides an overview of Essbase cubes maintenance.

Use the Dimension Delete page (CUB_DIMDELETE) to delete any dimension that was created in the system as long as the dimension is not referenced in any outline.

Use the View Dynamic Objects page (CUB_DIMDYNVIEW) for the selected dimension to view all dynamic objects (queries and trees) that are used in the definition. This page also displays runtime parameters that are used when you run queries. If you are having problems opening the dimension definition, you can view the queries and trees that are part of the dimensional structure. This page is useful in diagnosing permission problems with dynamic objects.

Use the View Outline Structures page (CUB_OUTSTRUCT) to view all the dimensions that are part of the outline for the selected outline.

Use the Outline Expansion page (CUB_DYNEXPAND_SEC) to perform the full dimension expansion for every dimension that is part of the given outline. This page runs all dynamic queries and trees in each dimension and displays the total number of rows processed for each dynamic object. For non-dynamic members of the dimension, this page shows an overall total only. All errors encountered during the expansion appear, along with relevant information.
