Deleting Shared Descendants Using a Utility
Use the DeleteSharedDescendant
utility to delete shared dimension members that are descendants of a given member. You can delete shared Entity, Account, and user-defined dimension members. All shared descendant members are deleted, not just immediate children of the specified member.
Administrators run this utility using a command line interface. If the application server or Oracle RMI service is running when the utility is launched, you may see java.rmi
or "Port already in use" errors. They do not affect the functionality of the utility.
