Applying Predefined Generation Names to Dynamic Time Series Members

When you enable a Dynamic Time Series member and associate it with a generation number, Essbase creates a predefined generation name for that generation number. See Naming Generations and Levels.

  To display generation and level names, see “Naming Generations and Levels” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.

Table 80 lists the Dynamic Time Series members and their corresponding generation names:

These member and generation names are reserved for use by Essbase. If you use one of these generation names to create a generation name on the time dimension, Essbase automatically creates and enables the corresponding Dynamic Time Series member for you.

For example, in Sample.Basic, you can create a generation name called Quarter for generation number 2. Quarter contains quarterly data in the members Qtr1, Qtr2, and so on. When you create the generation name Quarter, Essbase creates and enables a Dynamic Time Series member called Q-T-D.
