In this recipe, we will be adding a new application and database to our Essbase Server. We will use the Outline Editor to add the Year
and Scenario
dimensions to our outline. In addition, we will set up our Year
dimension as our Time
dimension and add time-series functionality to our database. We will also add two calculated members in the Scenario
dimension to take advantage of Essbase's variance reporting functionality. This recipe is the first of five recipes used to build and load the Sample
Basic
database.
