Recreating the OLAP database

After the dimensions have been imported into the Designer database, the changes must be pushed to the OLAP database, by creating the dimensions individually, or all at once by recreating the entire OLAP database.

After this is complete, some configuration steps must be completed in Infor EPM.

Cube data cannot be imported until the dimension structure that corresponds to that data exists in the OLAP database.

  1. Start Designer.
  2. Select File > Create Database.
  3. Select the Recreate entire database check box.
  4. Click OK to begin the process.
    This process can take several minutes. Messages display in the status section of Designer. At some stages in process there is no response until the stage is complete.
  5. Exit Designer.
