When using the aggregate storage data load buffer, you can combine data sources and rules files to add members to the outline and to load data values to the level 0 cells. Regardless of the order in which you specify the files, Essbase makes the outline changes and then loads the data values.
Although dimension builds and data loads for aggregate storage databases can be combined into one operation in Administration Services, Oracle recommends that you separate dimension build operations from data load operations, because some dimension builds clear data, which could lead to data loss. See Building Dimensions in Aggregate Storage Databases. |
