New Calculation Segmentation Option in Custom Calculation Rules

You can now apply calculation segmentation to custom calculation rules. If the Calculation Segmentation option is selected when defining a custom calculation rule target, rules are segmented into smaller rules to execute separately.

NOTE: You should use calculation segmentation only when your target range is extremely large and sparsely populated. As a best practice, you should call support before proceeding with this option.

Business Benefit: Calculation segmentation enables the calculation to process rules with a very large data range, which would otherwise be too large for Essbase to process.
