Updating Application Dimensions with Flat Files
Note:
You can use Dimension Management to list and view most current dimensions and members in the application (Viewing, Creating, and Editing Dimensions with Dimension Management). You can also edit dimensions directly.
Updating with flat files, described in this section, is most useful for updating in a more automated way when many updates are required.
When you update a dimension with flat files, you import a flat file containing a new definition of that dimension (Preparing Flat Files for Each Dimension). You must upload the flat file to the Inbox before beginning the update (Transferring Files with the File Explorer).
You can view this video to learn how to update dimensions with flat files:

To update Profitability and Cost Management dimensions with flat files:
Note:
Repeat necessary steps until flat files for all updated diimensions have been imported. Then, deploy the application as described in Deploying Databases.
Tip:
Whenever the Profitability Application Console is used to update dimensions, a Job entry is automatically created in the Job Library to validate and update the application (Viewing Tasks in the Application Job Library).
Following a dimension update, you must log out of Profitability and Cost Management and then log in again to see the updates in Dimension Management or elsewhere in the service.
