ODB-REQ-DIM-REBLD    Alpha 1                                     AC87.1  CXA1.1
Required Dimension   The value in the Required Dimension         GL87.1  GL88.1
Rebuild              Rebuild field is set by the system. The     HC01.1  HC02.1
                     value is based on whether changes that      POA1.1  SAA1.1
                     require the dimensions to be rebuilt        WOA1.1
                     have been made to the data mart.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No; Default value.

ODB-REQ-DATA-REBLD   Alpha 1                                     AC87.1  CXA1.1
Required Data Reload The Required Data Reload field is set       GL87.1  GL88.1
                     by the system. The setting is based on      HC01.1  HC02.1
                     whether changes that require the data       POA1.1  SAA1.1
                     values to be reloaded have been made to     WOA1.1
                     the data mart.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No; Default value.

ODB-LOCK-OPTION      Alpha 1
Lock Option          The Lock Option field provides
                     additional security by preventing
                     changes to the data mart definition,
                     even if the user tries to initiate an
                     outline build or a data load. The
                     operation of this field depends on the
                     user's security privileges.

                     Value values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No; Default value.

ODB-PROCESSING       Alpha 1
Processing           The Processing field shows the current
                     status of the data mart. It provides a
                     locking mechanism to prevent updates
                     when data is being loaded to the data
                     mart.

                     Value values are:
                     ~ = No data is being processed
                     M = Outline build in process
                     D = Data load in process
                     C = Data mart calculation in process

                     " " = Not Processing

ODB-AUTO-REBUILD     Alpha 1
Auto Rebuild         The Auto Rebuild field determines
                     whether the data mart should be rebuilt
                     if dimensions or data values have
                     changed. If an incremental data load is
                     requested, this field uses the values in
                     the Required Dimension Rebuild and
                     Required Data Reload fields to determine
                     if the data mart should be reloaded. Set
                     this field to Y if all data for a
                     complete load is still available.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = N; Default value.

ODB-ERROR-LOG-NBR    Numeric 3
Error Log Number     The Error Log Number field displays the
                     error message number found during the
                     outline build or data mart load.

ODB-LAST-DIM-SEQ     Numeric 4                                   AC87.1  CXA1.1
Last Dimension       The Last Dimension Sequence Number          GL87.1  GL88.1
Sequence Number      field contains the sequence number of       HC01.1  HC02.1
                     the last dimension in the outline. The      POA1.1  SAA1.1
                     number in this field determines the         WOA1.1
                     number of the next dimension that is
                     added to the outline.

ODB-NON-LAW-MEMBER   Alpha 1
Outline Changes      The Outline Changes Exist field
Exist                determines whether the user has added
                     members to the outline using the Essbase
                     Application Manager. If Y (Yes) is
                     specified, a new outline is created and
                     compared with the existing outline. The
                     two outlines are merged before the data
                     is loaded using IA120 (Data Mart Load).
                     This field applies to complete outline
                     builds and data loads only.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes
                     N = No; Default value.

ODB-STAGE-APP-NAME   Alpha 8  (Lower Case)
Staging Application  The Stage Application Name field
Name                 contains the name of the application
                     that is temporarily created when the
                     data mart staging option is set. Staging
                     a data mart lets users work with the
                     data mart while data is being loaded.
                     This name can contain up to 8 characters
                     of any kind.

ODB-ADDT-SOURCES     Alpha 1
External Data        The External Data Sources Exists field
Sources Exist        determines whether external data sources
                     are used to update the data mart. A
                     value of Y (Yes) in this field indicates
                     that external data sources exist,
                     thereby preventing the administrator
                     from clearing the data mart prior to
                     updating it.

                     Valid values are:
                     Y = Yes. External data sources exist.
                     N = No; Default value.

ODB-ARBOR-PATH       Alpha 100  (Lower Case)
Arbor Path           The Arbor Path field contains the name
                     of the directory where all CSV output
                     files are stored.
