Reviewing an Example of an Outline Change Log

When a user makes and saves changes to an outline, Essbase writes the change information into the outline change log as a group of entries. Each group of entries begins and ends with identifying information so that you can easily identify each revision, from newest to oldest.

The following change log shows one record, indicating that since the outline change log was started, the outline was modified once. First, the outline change log lists the beginning of the change, including the application and database changed; the time of the change; and the user making the change. Next, the outline change log lists the change—a member named 100-50 was added to 100 member of the Product dimension. Finally, the outline log lists the end of the change, including the application and database changed; the time of the change; and the user making the change.
