You create and identify dynamic members in the database outline; they are members calculated only during user retrieval requests, such as generating a report script. The time dimension has a special Dynamic Time Series option. The Dynamic Time Series option has reserved the following generation names that you can define in the outline alias table, as listed in Table 105:
See Applying Predefined Generation Names to Dynamic Time Series Members.
The database header message for the outline identifies the number of dynamic members that are enabled in the current outline. |
To select a Dynamic Time Series member, at the point in the script where you want to select a Dynamic Time Series member, use either:
where memberName is the name of the member in the time dimension.
The <LATEST command, a global command, is applied to the entire report script and is an aggregation based on the lowest level member within the dimension.
where reservedName is the reserved Dynamic Time Series generation name and the memberName is the name of the member in the time dimension.
If you use this syntax to specify a Dynamic Time Series, the time series name is associated only to the member listed in the argument.
When you run the report script, the members are dynamically updated and the information is incorporated into the final report.
