Understanding Dynamic Calculation Members

When a member is Dynamic Calc, Essbase does not calculate the value for that member until a user requests it. After the user views it, Essbase does not store the value for that member. If you tag a member as Dynamic Calc and Store, Essbase performs the same operation as for a Dynamic Calc member but then stores the data value. See Dynamically Calculating Data Values.

Essbase automatically tags members of attribute dimensions as Dynamic Calc. You cannot change this setting.

  To tag a member as Dynamic Calc, see “Setting Member Storage Properties” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
