You can turn off CCTRACK in three ways:
Use the SET CCTRACKCALC ON|OFF command in a calculation script to turn off CCTRACK temporarily. You can use this command at calculation time to increase flexibility and efficiency during currency conversion.
Use the CLEARCCTRACK calculation command to clear the internal exchange rate tables created by CCTRACK. You can use the command inside a FIX statement to clear the exchange rates for a currency partition. Use the command after a data load to reset the exchange rate tables so that they are ready for future currency conversion calculations.
Set CCTRACK to FALSE in the essbase.cfg file. Setting CCTRACK to FALSE turns off the tracking system and has the following results:
The CCONV command assumes that data is unconverted (is in local currency). If you accidentally run the CCONV command multiple times on the same data, the resulting data is inaccurate.
Similarly, the currency report options assume that the data is unconverted (is in local currency). If the data already has been converted in the database, it is reconverted at report time, resulting in inaccurate data.
The restrictions on using the FIX and DATACOPY commands in currency conversions do not apply.
When running a currency conversion, ensure that the data being converted is not simultaneously being updated by other user activities (for example, a calculation, data load, or currency conversion against the same currency partition). Concurrent activity on the data being converted may produce incorrect results. Essbase does not display a warning message in this situation. |
