When you save an outline, Essbase verifies it for errors. You can also verify the accuracy of an outline before you save it. Essbase provides a series of verification checks when you verify an outline. For details about verification checks, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
The outline verification process takes into account the outline type (aggregate storage or block storage) and verifies the outline according to the rules for each type.
After it has verified the outline and the outline is error free, Essbase verifies member formulas. To correct formula errors, see Creating and Editing Formulas in Outlines.
Note:
When you verify an outline and you are not connected to an Essbase Server, member formulas in the outline are not verified.
“Verifying Outlines” in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
To verify an outline:
Open the outline and make changes, as desired.
Click the Verify button.
If the outline has no errors, Outline Editor displays a message.
If the outline is not valid, the Verification tab is displayed. The tab lists the errors that the outline contains. Correct the errors, and then verify the outline again.
When the outline has verified as error free, Essbase verifies member formulas, displaying warnings for formula errors. Even though you can save an outline with formula errors, be sure to correct the formulas before using the outline.
When the outline is error free, save the outline.
