Cells loaded through data loads | Only level 0 cells whose values do not depend on formulas in the outline are loaded | Cells at all levels can be loaded (except Dynamic Calc members) |
Update of database values | At the end of a data load, if an aggregation exists, the values in the aggregation are recalculated | No automatic update of values. To update data values, you must execute all necessary calculation scripts. |
Data load buffers | The loading of multiple data sources into aggregate storage databases is managed through temporary data load buffers | Not supported |
Atomic replacement of the contents of a database | When loading data into an aggregate storage database, you can replace the contents of the database or the contents of all incremental data slices in the database | Not supported |
Data slices | Aggregate storage databases can contain multiple slices of data. Data slices can be merged | Not supported |
Dimension build for shared members | Full support for parent-child build method. Duplicate generation (DUPGEN) build method limited to building alternate hierarchies up to generation 2 (DUPGEN2). | Support for all build methods |
Loading data mapped to dates | In a date-time dimension, you can load data into level 0 members using supported date-format strings instead of member names | Date-time dimension type is not supported |
