UPDATECALC

Parameters

UPDATECALC specifies whether intelligent calculation is turned on or off by default.

Syntax

UPDATECALC TRUE | FALSE

TRUE	Intelligent calculation is turned on. Hyperion Essbase calculates only updated blocks and their dependent parents.
FALSE	Intelligent calculation is turned off. Hyperion Essbase calculates all data blocks, regardless of whether they have been updated.

Description

UPDATECALC specifies whether intelligent calculation is turned on or off by default.

If required during a calculation, you can override this default setting and turn intelligent calculation on and off using the SET UPDATECALC command in a calc script.

Using intelligent calculation, Hyperion Essbase calculates only updated data blocks and their dependent parents. Therefore, the calculation is very efficient.

Example

UPDATECALC TRUE
UPDATECALC FALSE

In ESSBASE.CFG, a parameter is not followed by a semicolon; in a calc script, a parameter must be followed by a semicolon.

Notes
