Topics
• Types of calculations
• Data storage
• Calculation order
• Dynamic Calculations
• Two-pass calculations
• Intelligent Calcs
Types of Calculation
• Outline calculations
• Calc script calculations
Outline Calculations
Calculations based on member relationships in a dimension
Default Calculation
• The default for the database is CALC ALL.
• A different default calculation can be set using Essbase Application Manager or ESSCMD.
Default Calculation Characteristics
The default calc, CALC ALL• minimizes physical passes through database.
• allows users with access to specific calc scripts to run default calc.
Calc Script Calculations
• Contents of calc scripts: commands, formulas, and functions
• Reasons for calc scripts
• Functions and commands that only work in scripts
Calculation Order
• Data storage
• Dimension types
Dense and Sparse Dimensions

Dynamic Calculations
• Dynamic Calc (Non-Store)
• Dynamic Calc and Store
• Dynamic Time Series
Dynamic Calc Member Settings
• Dense and sparse dimensions
• Dynamic Calc restrictions
• Considerations
Calculation Order: Dynamic Calcs Versus Batch
• Batch• Dimension with
Accounts tag
• Dimension with Time tag
• Dense dimensions in outline order
• Sparse dimension in outline order
• Two-pass calculations
• Dynamic Calc• Sparse dimensions in
outline order
• Time series calculations
• Dimension with Accounts tag
• Dimension with Time tag
• Dense dimensions in outline order
• Two-pass calculations
Dynamic Calculation Limitations
• Members that cannot be dynamic
• Loading data
• Parent/child considerations
