FIELD NAME           DESCRIPTION/VALID VALUES                    UPDATED BY

IAL-APPLIC-NAME      Alpha 8  (Lower Case)
Application          The Application Name is the name of the
                     application that describes the database
                     names it contains. This user-defined
                     name can contain up to eight characters.
                     The first letter of the name must be
                     capitalized.

IAL-DATABASE-NAME    Alpha 8  (Lower Case)
Database Name        The Database Name is the name of the
                     database that is stored within the OLAP
                     application. Each application may
                     contain more than one database. This
                     user-defined name can contain up to
                     eight characters. The first letter of
                     the name must be capitalized.

IAL-ALIAS-TABLE      Alpha 8  (Lower Case)
Alias Table          The Alias Table field contains the name
                     of the table that contains member alias
                     names. You use the Essbase Application
                     Manager to define alias tables. You can
                     use the Analytic Architect system to
                     define an alias name to associate with a
                     member. These alias names become part of
                     the alias table. The alias table must be
                     defined for a specific application and
                     data mart.

                     This field can be left blank. All
                     member aliases applied to the blank
                     alias table name are associated to the
                     default alias table defined by the data
                     mart.

IAL-LOCALE           Alpha 10
Locale               The Locale field contains the
                     Environment locale that has been mapped
                     to  the alias table specified in the
                     Alias Table field. If a match exists
                     translation values defined for a
                     specific locale are substituted for
                     alias names within the alias table.
