Select a Build Method

When you modify dimension properties impacting the Essbase outline during a dimension build, one essential property you need is a selection of the appropriate build method that matches your source data.

If you are not performing a dimension build, skip this section.

If you are building a new dimension or adding members to an existing dimension, you must specify a build method for each dimension that you are creating or modifying. See Dimension Build Methods.

In application workbooks, you set the build method for a dimension on the dimension worksheet (Dim.dimname). See Understanding Dimension Worksheets.
