When you partition a database, Essbase must be able to map each dimension and member in the data source outline to the appropriate dimension and member in the data target outline. After you map the two outlines to each other, Essbase can make the data in the data source available from the data target, as long as the outlines are synchronized and the partition definitions are up-to-date.
If you make changes to one outline, the two outlines are no longer synchronized. Although Essbase makes whatever changes it can to replicated and transparent partitions when the outlines are not synchronized, Essbase may not be able to make the data in the data source available in the data target.
Essbase tracks changes that you make to block storage outlines and provides tools to keep your block storage outlines synchronized.
Note: | Essbase does not enable automatic synchronization of aggregate storage outlines. You must manually make the same changes to the source and target outlines. |
