Reloading cubes

Use this procedure to reload or refresh analytic cubes. Cubes must be reloaded periodically so that they contain up-to-date data and dimensions for the reports that depend on them. The refresh option is only available for cubes whose business class implements auditing. A refresh updates the cube with recent changes but does not rebuild it entirely.

  1. Select Start > Applications > Administration Console > Database > Export from Database.
  2. Select the cube you want to reload or refresh.
  3. Select either Reload, Scheduled Reload, or Refresh from the Actions menu.

    If you select Reload or Refresh, the rebuilding or refreshing of the cube will take place immediately. If you select Scheduled Reload, you must specify the scheduling information and the scheduled action is then sent to the Async Framework for processing at the appropriate time.
