Building Duplicate Member Outlines

Duplicate member outlines contain multiple members with the same name, where the values are not shared. In unique member outlines, only shared members can have the same name. See Creating and Working With Duplicate Member Outlines.

The rules file enables you to set whether dimensions, levels, and generations in a duplicate member outline are unique or can include duplicate members.

  To set dimension uniqueness during a dimension build, see “Setting Dimension Properties” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.

In the rules file, generation or level uniqueness is set on the Generation/Level Names tab of the Dimension Properties dialog box.

  To set generation or level uniqueness during a dimension build, see “Setting Dimension Properties” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
