Updating Application Dimensions
If any changes to dimensions or dimension members are required in an application with Deploy Origin of Native – such as adding, deleting, changing, or renaming – you must update the dimensions in the Oracle Essbase Master Cube and then update the Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management application.
Caution:
If you need to rename or delete dimensions in an Essbase Master Cube, consider creating a separate Essbase Master Cube so that your existing Profitability and Cost Management applications can still be updated if necessary. Also, you cannot update dimensions using the Profitability Applications Console if the name of the Essbase Master Cube database is not the same as the name of the Profitability and Cost Management application that is based on it.
Whenever the Profitability Applications Console is used to update dimensions, a Job entry is automatically created in the Job Library to validate and update the application.

Note:
If you are updating with flat files, repeat necessary steps until all flat files have been imported. Be sure to use the Validate and Enable option to ensure that files were imported correctly.
