Saving an Outline with One or More Deleted Standard Dimensions

If you delete one or more standard (nonattribute) dimensions, the data associated with only one member of each deleted dimension must be retained and associated with a member of one of the other dimensions. For example, removing a dimension called Market from the outline implies that all of the data that remains in the database after the restructure operation is associated with a single, specified member of the Market dimension.

If you delete an attribute dimension, Essbase deletes the associations to its base dimension. See Working with Attributes.
