Ignoring Fields

You can ignore all fields of a specified column of the data source. The fields still exist in the data source, but they are not loaded into the Essbase database. For example, the Sample.Basic database has five standard dimensions: Year, Product, Market, Measures, and Scenario. If the data source has an extra field that is not a member of any dimension, such as Salesperson, you can tell Essbase to ignore the Salesperson field.

  To ignore all fields in a column, see “Ignoring Fields” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
