When incremental restructuring is enabled, Essbase defers restructuring for the database changes listed in Outline Change Quick Reference, unless otherwise noted.
The following changes override incremental restructuring; that is, they result in immediate restructuring, even if incremental restructuring is enabled:
Changing a dimension definition from sparse to dense or from dense to sparse.
If you are using LROs in a database, incremental restructuring is automatically disabled on that database. Disabling incremental restructuring does not affect other databases on the server.
Certain member additions and certain changes to sparse dimensions can also trigger immediate restructuring. See Outline Change Quick Reference.
Whether or not incremental restructuring is enabled, if an outline has already been incrementally restructured (a dense restructure is pending), adding shared members causes Essbase to perform a dense restructure.
