Accommodating Data Redundancy

To ensure data integrity, the Essbase kernel temporarily retains redundant (duplicate) information. To accommodate redundant information, allow disk space for double the size of the database.

Essbase maintains a file called dbname.esm, in which it stores crucial control information.

Caution!

The dbname.tct file, dbname.esm file, the index files, and the data files contain information crucial for data recovery. Never alter or delete these files.
