Before Refreshing the Database

You must refresh the database after changing the application structure, and modifying artifacts such as dimensions and members. Oracle recommends that you notify all users, asking them to save their work and close the application, before you refresh the database.

Before refreshing the database:

  • Back up your application and export data from all databases.

  • Decide if you want to enable all users or just the current Service Administrator to use the application in administration mode during the refresh

  • Decide if you want to log off all users

  • Terminate any active application requests
