This topic describes the syntax for defining duplicate member names in Administration Services.
To specify duplicate member names in:
Smart View, see the Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office User's Guide Help
Spreadsheet Add-in, see the Oracle Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in User's Guide
API, see the Oracle Essbase API Reference
To use duplicate member names in MaxL and MDX, see the Oracle Essbase Technical Reference.
If an alias name and member name are the same but do not represent the same member, searching by alias name is not supported in clients (for example Spreadsheet Add-in, Administration Services, or the API). |
In Administration Services, if you use the member selection tool to insert a duplicate member name from the outline tree, the qualified member name is inserted automatically.
If you type a duplicate member name directly into an editor, type the qualified member name and enclose the qualified name in double quotation marks (" "). For example,
"[State].[New York]"
In MDX and MaxL qualified member names are not enclosed in quotation marks. See “Inserting Dimension and Member Names in MDX Scripts” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help. The Administration Services Data Preview feature does not support duplicate member outlines.
