SET MSG SUMMARY and SET MSG DETAIL

You can use the SET MSG SUMMARY and SET MSG DETAIL calculation commands in a calculation script to do the following:

SET MSG DETAIL also provides an information message every time Essbase calculates a data block. SET MSG DETAIL is useful for reviewing the calculation order of data blocks and for testing intelligent recalculations.

Caution!

Because SET MSG DETAIL causes a high processing overhead, use it only during test calculations.

SET MSG SUMMARY causes a processing overhead of approximately 1% to 5%, depending on database size, and is therefore appropriate for all calculations.
