Part VII describes how to manage data storage in Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server databases, including how to use the Hyperion Essbase Storage Manager and ensure data integrity. Part VII contains the following chapters:

Introducing the Hyperion Essbase Kernel introduces you to the Hyperion Essbase Storage Manager and describes how to use it to retrieve data, compress data, allocate storage, handle fragmentation, and restructure databases.
Specifying Hyperion Essbase Kernel Settings describes how to set Storage Manager settings to specify the index cache size, the data cache size, the index page size, the isolation level, the disk volumes, and data compression using the Hyperion Essbase Application Manager and ESSCMD.
Ensuring Data Integrity introduces you to transactions, isolation levels, data redundancy, and how Hyperion Essbase locks data, commits data, rolls back transactions in the event of a server interruption, and checks structural integrity.
